La présente invention concerne un appareil pour l'écrasement de récipients vides, par exemple des bouteilles plastiques ou des canettes métalliques de boisson. The present invention relates to an apparatus for crushing empty containers, for example plastic bottles or metal beverage cans.
L'invention vise à écraser tout récipient à volume interne débouchant sur une ouverture et ayant contenu des denrées alimentaires ou des produits d'entretien, en particulier par dépression entre le volume interne et l'extérieur du récipient. The invention aims to crush any container with internal volume opening onto an opening and having contained foodstuffs or cleaning products, in particular by vacuum between the internal volume and the outside of the container.
On connaît dans l'art antérieur un dispositif de compactage par dépression décrit dans le document US 5,218, 902 dont l'encombrement est important et qui nécessite conjointement l'emploi d'un système d'écrasement mécanique. In the prior art, a vacuum compacting device described in document US Pat. No. 5,218, 902 is known, the bulk of which is large and which jointly requires the use of a mechanical crushing system.
On connaît également l'abrégé japonais JP 03 133595 montrant un conteneur dans lequel on peut enfermer un ou plusieurs récipients à compacter et dans lequel on réalise l'aspiration. The Japanese abstract JP 03 133595 is also known, showing a container in which one or more containers can be enclosed and in which suction is carried out.
Ce système nécessitant une puissance très importante pour un résultat aléatoire, ne peut être mis en oeuvre facilement. This system requiring a very large power for a random result, cannot be implemented easily.
L'état de la technique comporte également des appareils de plus petites dimensions qui fonctionnent par écrasement mécanique et manuel comme dans le document EP 0 925 908. The state of the art also includes devices of smaller dimensions which operate by mechanical and manual crushing as in document EP 0 925 908.
Le demandeur s'est fixé comme objectif de réaliser un appareil simple, peu encombrant, peu onéreux, pouvant éventuellement remplir des fonctions supplémentaires, et apte à compacter efficacement des récipients vides en employant uniquement une technique d'aspiration à alimentation électrique, sans l'aide d'autres techniques d'écrasement. The applicant has set itself the objective of producing a simple device, compact, inexpensive, possibly capable of fulfilling additional functions, and capable of effectively compacting empty containers by using only a suction technique with electric power supply, without the using other crushing techniques.
Cet objectif est atteint par l'invention qui consiste en un appareil pour l'écrasement de récipients vides, par exemple des bouteilles en plastique, ou des canettes de boisson en métal, ou tout récipient à volume interne débouchant sur une ouverture et ayant contenu des denrées alimentaires ou des produits d'entretien, appareil du type comportant un moyen pour l'aspiration de l'air contenu dans le volume interne du récipient, avec un tube d'aspiration et un tube de sortie d'air comprimé, caractérisé en ce que le tube d'aspiration débouche au centre d'un plateau en matériau souple apte à obturer l'ouverture du volume interne du récipient et à déformer de manière à rester appliqué contre elle pendant sa déformation dans l'espace. This object is achieved by the invention which consists of an apparatus for crushing empty containers, for example plastic bottles, or metal beverage cans, or any container with internal volume opening onto an opening and having contained foodstuffs or cleaning products, apparatus of the type comprising a means for the suction of the air contained in the internal volume of the container, with a suction tube and a compressed air outlet tube, characterized in that that the suction tube opens into the center of a plate of flexible material capable of closing the opening of the internal volume of the container and of deforming so as to remain applied against it during its deformation in space.
On comprendra mieux l'invention à l'aide de la description ci-après d'un mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, faite en référence aux figures annexées suivantes The invention will be better understood with the aid of the description below of an embodiment given by way of nonlimiting example, made with reference to the following appended figures.

Les moyens essentiels de l'invention (1) consistent en un moyen d'aspiration (2) dont le tube d'aspiration (4) débouche au centre d'un plateau (3) en matériau souple et dont le tube de sortie (5) d'air comprimé peut par exemple déboucher latéralement. The essential means of the invention (1) consist of a suction means (2) whose suction tube (4) opens out in the center of a plate (3) made of flexible material and whose outlet tube (5 ) of compressed air can for example open laterally.
Préférentiellement ce plateau est en forme de disque. Preferably, this tray is in the form of a disc.
Le moyen d'aspiration (2) est formé d'une pompe à vide (2) entraînée par un moteur électrique (2b), l'ensemble étant protégé par un boîtier (6) dont l'encombrement est faible (par exemple 10 à 15 cm de hauteur pour un diamètre de 5 à 10 cm). The suction means (2) is formed by a vacuum pump (2) driven by an electric motor (2b), the assembly being protected by a housing (6) which takes up little space (for example 10 to 15 cm high for a diameter of 5 to 10 cm).
Le plateau (3) est placé horizontalement et au-dessus du moyen d'aspiration, et son diamètre est tel qu'il est apte à obturer l'ouverture d'un goulot de bouteille (7), d'une boîte de conserve, d'une canette en métal (8) ou autre récipient alimentaire ou de produit d'entretien. The plate (3) is placed horizontally and above the suction means, and its diameter is such that it is able to close the opening of a bottle neck (7), of a tin can, a metal can (8) or other food or cleaning product container.
Il est essentiel pour l'invention que le plateau (3) soit en matériau souple d'une part pour réaliser l'étanchéité au niveau de l'ouverture au démarrage de l'aspiration, d'autre part pour être apte à suivre ladite ouverture pendant toute la durée de la déformation du récipient et à rester appliqué contre elle. It is essential for the invention that the plate (3) is made of flexible material on the one hand to achieve sealing at the opening at the start of the suction, on the other hand to be able to follow said opening for the duration of the deformation of the container and to remain applied against it.
En effet, lorsque le volume intérieur d'un récipient est mis en dépression, alors que sa paroi reste à pression atmosphérique, ledit récipient s'écrase de façon aléatoire et prend une forme totalement imprévisible. Son ouverture, initialement plane, se déforme selon trois dimensions. In fact, when the interior volume of a container is placed under vacuum, while its wall remains at atmospheric pressure, said container collapses randomly and takes a completely unpredictable shape. Its opening, initially flat, deforms in three dimensions.
Il fallait donc, pour maintenir l'étanchéité après démarrage de l'aspiration, que le disque puisse également se déformer dans l'espace de façon à épouser et à suivre la forme de l'ouverture du récipient. It was therefore necessary, to maintain the tightness after starting the suction, that the disc could also deform in space so as to follow and follow the shape of the opening of the container.
Le plateau est par exemple en caoutchouc avec une épaisseur de quelques mm The plate is for example made of rubber with a thickness of a few mm
<Desc/Clms Page number 3> <Desc / Clms Page number 3>
Pour démarrer le moyen d'aspiration, on prévoit de préférence un interrupteur de commande (9), placé sous le plateau (3) et actionné par pression verticale de haut en bas sur le récipient. La bouteille en plastique, la canette de boisson métallique sont tenues d'une seule main pendant la mise sous vide. To start the suction means, a control switch (9) is preferably provided, placed under the plate (3) and actuated by vertical pressure from top to bottom on the container. The plastic bottle and the metal beverage can are held with one hand during the evacuation.
Le disque comporte de préférence, mais non obligatoirement, une zone centrale conformée en rigole annulaire (12) autour de la sortie du tube d'aspiration pour recueillir les restes de liquide ou autres restes qui s'écoutent du récipient. The disc preferably, but not necessarily, has a central zone shaped as an annular channel (12) around the outlet of the suction tube to collect the remains of liquid or other remains which are listened to from the container.
La disposition verticale des composants de l'appareil n'est pas obligatoire et le disque peut être dissocié et éloigné du boîtier. The vertical arrangement of the components of the device is not compulsory and the disc can be separated and removed from the case.
Un dispositif selon l'invention comporte de nombreux avantages : - compactage rapide (environ 4 à 5 s pour deux litres), - utilisation simple (une seule main suffit pour l'opération), - encombrement réduit, - puissance faible (environ 250 W) pour obtenir une dépression moyenne de
150 mbar, pouvant varier selon les volumes à déformer ou les applications, - autres utilisations possibles, par exemple pour faire un vide d'air dans un sachet (figure 4) ou déboucher un évier (figure 5) par la sortie d'air comprimé, - adaptation possible à des applications industrielles ou pour des collectivités.A device according to the invention has many advantages: - rapid compacting (approximately 4 to 5 s for two liters), - simple use (one hand is sufficient for the operation), - reduced size, - low power (approximately 250 W ) to obtain an average depression of
150 mbar, which can vary depending on the volumes to be deformed or the applications, - other possible uses, for example to create an air vacuum in a sachet (Figure 4) or unclog a sink (Figure 5) by the compressed air outlet , - possible adaptation to industrial applications or for communities.
