Description

DESCRIPTION

Urban solid waste collection module

Object of the invention

The present invention refers to an installation or module for the location of urban solid waste (MSW) containers.

Background of the invention

At present, there are waste collection points or enclosures, also known as MSW location enclosures.

In these enclosures there are containers where the different fractions of separated urban waste are deposited, facilitating their subsequent treatment. However, in small locations, such as rural towns or similar, guarded selective collection points cannot be arranged, so management is often disastrous for different reasons:

-As containers remain in open areas, animals attracted by the decomposition of organic waste enter and try to feed on it, scattering it and causing material damage, as well as creating a health problem and unfavorable aesthetic effects.

-Other times the containers are often left open at the top, which also causes direct access of sunlight, accelerating the decomposition of organic waste and access of rainwater, causing spills of soluble waste.

-Containers are subject to acts of vandalism or theft.

-There are also problems when atmospheric phenomena such as wind concur, causing containers to move on public roads, causing traffic problems, accidents and various damages to people, vehicles, etc.

In addition, the sites where there are enclosures of this type are fixed, built with traditional construction, which makes their expansion difficult and prevents their transfer, cleaning and conservation.

In most municipalities, there is time discrimination for the deposit of waste, enabling hours in which the deposit of garbage is allowed, and hours in which the deposit is prohibited. The regulation and control of these hours is difficult to control and this causes users to deposit waste at any time, causing the waste to remain for long periods of time inside the containers, causing problems of bad odors and unhealthy spills on the road.

The cleaning and decontamination of containers is another serious problem, enabling costly solutions for their conservation and maintenance, such as collection and transfer actions for cleaning to facilities created for this purpose. Other articulated solutions are trucks equipped with washing equipment, or the performance of these tasks by means of mobile equipment equipped with pressure washers and water tanks.

Description of the invention

The waste collection module of the invention comprises a structure of vertical pillars and upper and lower horizontal crossbars, comprising perimeter enclosure panels fixed to the structure, practicable access doors with widths greater than 1.20 meters -which facilitate access for people with reduced mobility and loading and unloading operations by operators-, independent for users and operators and for storage compartments for utensils and cleaning products (folding, sliding, etc.), a floor supported by the lower horizontal crossbars, upper ventilation devices or grilles, and a practicable roof.

In a version suitable for locating waste collection containers by means of a side-loading vehicle, it is equipped with an integral side and roof opening, by means of a hinged, sliding or shutter-type practicable roof, and a side for operator access, equipped with Integral opening through hinged, sliding or roll-up doors.

In this way, a transportable construction is obtained, which can be relocated or placed in the best possible location, ventilated, and with lighting systems and container washing systems and the possibility of a fourth warehouse; and above all that protects the deposited waste from the incursion of animals, and from vandalism, limiting access if desired by time discrimination of access of people digitally activated electronically remotely, and protecting the waste from inclement weather, with a light and economical construction. It results in a facility enabled for any type of container, both containers that are manually operated by operators, heavy glass, paper and clothing containers that are collected with crane trucks, and large containers used in systems known as side loading. through special trucks, in which the driver unloads containers with trucks equipped with vision cameras from the cabin.

They are also equipped with running water facilities, electricity supply points and connection to the sanitation network, aimed at carrying out on-site washing and maintenance tasks for containers and their location area.

The installation is equipped with interior and exterior lighting points with the possibility that it be activated by motion sensors or programmers for automatic switching on and off.

The facility has manually operated door locks.

But the most innovative installation to be protected is the provision of electronic digital locks with remote opening and closing control, access codes or access cards. The incorporation of these electronically operated locks, both telematically and on site by entering access codes or passwords or digital cards, provides solutions for access control, special authorization of access for certain users in personalized time slots, and opening and closure of the installation according to schedules determined by the responsible authorities, activated electronically or telematically without the need for the presence of operators in each of the installations and through remote digital controls.

It is also intended to protect the use of these facilities as advertising and information support, using the enclosure panels for this purpose.

The facilities are equipped for electricity supply through connection to the conventional network or through the installation of solar panels.

Both the lighting installations and the solar panels are equipped with protections built with mesh or railings that make it difficult for them to be stolen and vandalized.
