Description

Sliding compactor collector for urban waste.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a collector of urban waste, destined to be part of a truck of collection, collector equipped with compacting means of waste, to minimize the volumetric occupation of the same and Increase the load capacity of the vehicle.

The object of the invention is to achieve a compartmentalization in said collector, which allows the vehicle the Simultaneous collection of two different types of urban waste, minimizing the number of vehicle trips and, in consequently, the consumption in time, fuel and personnel that entails

The invention thus falls within the scope of the urban waste collection, and more specifically in the field of the selective collection of them.

Background of the invention

The selective collection of urban waste is totally generalized and at the level of cities or nuclei of important population does not offer any problem since the transport vehicles used for this purpose can complete perfectly its load with a certain type of waste, given the abundance of them, and even repeat their work cycle several times in the same day.

The same does not happen in small towns where the daily generation of waste does not allow the full loading of a vehicle, and where it is intended to make a selective collection is it is necessary to give more than one trip, to pick up, for example, two waste classes

If the problem that has just been exposed is he adds that it is very frequent that these small urban centers are very scattered and with not too good road access, it turns out Obviously, the cost of this to be able to carry out the cited selective collection.

There are different types of mounted collectors on a vehicle, being one of the most used one in which there is a hopper for waste deposition, specifically for emptying containers with the collaboration of a crane also associated with the vehicle, settling at the bottom of the hopper a compactor piston that introduces waste into a compaction chamber, provided at its opposite end with a mechanical drive door, for emptying the contents of the collector in a pretreatment plant.

With this system it is possible to maximize the load capacity of the vehicle, but obviously does not offer the possibility of simultaneously collecting two different types of waste and keep them physically independent of each other until The time of download.

Description of the invention

The compactor collector that the invention proposed allows the independent collection of two types of waste different, thanks to a compartmentalization of your camera storage, and special means that allow both selective introduction of waste into one chamber or another, such as subsequent emptying thereof.

To do this, more specifically and from the basic structuring mentioned above, that is, the existence of a waste receiving hopper, a compactor press and of a storage chamber with its corresponding door, in the bottom of the hopper a partition wall is established, arranged longitudinally, mobile and integral to the plate compaction, and on said mobile partition and integral with the plate of compaction is placed a tilting deflector, hydraulically actuated or pneumatically, able to play inside the hopper, causing it to flow into one or the other of the two lower compartments thereof defined by the partition mobile and integral to the compaction plate.

This mobile partition and solidary to the plate compaction is prolonged inside the chamber in a partition compartmentalizer that affects the latter in all its height, with the particularity that said partition has a lower sector hollow, of height coinciding with that of the mobile partition and solidarity to the compaction plate and trained to receive inside to the latter when the press acts.

As a complement to the structure described, the exterior drain door, which simultaneously affects both chamber compartments, is assisted by another door inside, also a tight seal, which exclusively affects one of the two compartments cited, so that during the unloading and when opening the outer door, emptying can be carried out of one of the two types of waste, keeping the other compartment closed by the inner door, proceeding then the emptying of the second compartment by means of Opening of this second door.

It is achieved in this way, through the adequate disposition of the deflector established within the hopper, that each type of waste flows into the area corresponding to the bottom of the hopper, and that from here and by the pusher press, such waste is displaced towards the corresponding chamber of the collector.

Figure 5.- Shows, finally, a view in compactor collector plant also at the hopper level.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined, and in special figure 1, can be seen as the collector compactor that the invention proposes is intended to be implanted on the loading platform of a vehicle of transport (1), of any conventional type, provided with a crane (2) to raise urban waste containers and empty them over a hopper (3), located in the anterior area of the vehicle platform, hopper (3) at whose bottom a press (4) capable of displacing waste discharged into the hopper towards a compaction chamber (5), where they are stored temporarily, camera provided with a rear door (6), of tight seal, automatically operated by cylinders hydraulic or pneumatic (7) or by any other means appropriate.

According to the invention, said camera (5) is provided with an intermediate partition partition (8), vertical and longitudinal, which generates in said chamber two compartments (9-9 '), which will preferably be of different volumes, appropriate to the percentages of both  Waste to collect.

The aforementioned partition of the fund of the hopper (3) is jointly and severally attached to the compaction plate, whose height is consistent with that of the actual press said (11), especially visible in Figure 2, this being partition (10) intended to partially penetrate a sector bottom and hollow (12) of the partition wall (8) of the chamber,  so that in a situation of maximum advance for the press compactor (11), said partition (10) is introduced into the accommodation (12).

Thus, the mobile partition and solidary to the plate of compaction (10), in a situation of withdrawal, generates in the background of the hopper (10) two laterally adjacent compartments (13-13 '), as seen in Figure 4, facing the compartments (9-9 ') of the camera (5).

For waste to access indistinctly one or the other of these compartments (13-13 '), and consequently to the final compartments (9-9 ') of the compaction chamber (5), on the imaginary upper edge of the mobile partition and solidary to the plate of compaction (10) the tilt axis (14) is established to a longitudinal baffle (15) that plays inside the hopper driven by a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder (16), so that said deflector can adopt two extreme positions, the represented in continuous and discontinuous lines of figure 4, a in which the hopper flows into the compartment (13) and another in the one that does it on the compartment (13 ').

It only remains to note finally that, as already said earlier, in the posterior limb of the chamber of compaction (5), in addition to the said exterior door (6), is it will place another sealed, inner and affecting closing door exclusively to one of the compartments (9-9 '), so that when the opening of the outer door occurs (10) one of said compartments is in discharge condition (9-9 '), while the other is kept closed through the inner door, and for whose emptying the complementary opening of said inner door.
