FR2839527A1 - Waste bin handling machine for exchange between full and empty bins has trap doors positioned vertically of the bins which are supported on motor driven frame arms - Google Patents

Abstract

The waste bin handling machine has a double door (1) with trap doors (2) positioned vertically of the bin (3) fixed to an arm connected to a moto-reduction gear drive (5). A control (11) operates with a time delay to lift a full bin and close the traps. The emptying of the bins is operated by a push button electric circuit which operates the motor-reduction drive to place on the of the bins opposite the double door.

Description

inserted elastic intermediate elements (22, 23).

  The present invention relates to a device which allows the permutation of

  household waste containers when full.

  Currently, container swapping is done in a manual fashion that is not

  not always compatible with the filling of the neck.

  The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this drawback. It has in fact, according to a first characteristic, a double door with two

  filling hatches which are located vertical to the container to be filled.

  This is held by a fixed arm on the hub of a gear motor which allows

  the rotation of the four containers in increments of 90.

  The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

  Figure 1 shows in section the door and the mechanism.

  Figure 2 represents the whole of the mechanism seen from above.

  With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a double front door, block 1 and vertically the filling hatches 2 is positioned the container 3 to be filled which is held by the arm 4 connected to the hub of the fixed gear motor 5 on the ground

by square 6.

  The operating process is as follows.

  The four containers are in place and defective.

  The double door 1 is closed and the control of its closing is ensured by the

contactors 10.

  The two filling hatches 2 are unlocked, the indicator 8 is off and

  The whole system is in automatic mode.

  The container 3 is filled.

  When it is full, the last bag of household waste which exceeds the container 3 is detected after about fifteen seconds by the photocell 11. j, Through a programmable controller, the contactors 9 control the closing of the

  filling hatches 2 and actuates the two locks 7 for locking the doors 2.

  The indicator 8 flashes and the gear motor 5 starts to set up the

  container 13 vice vertical to the filling hatches 2.

  The positioning of the container 13 is ensured by the electric end stops of

race 12.

  When the container 13 is in place, the indicator 8 goes off and the two latches 7

  release the filling hatches 2.

  The process is the same for containers 14 and 15.

  By cons, when the container 15 is full, the photoelectric cell 11 detects after fifteen seconds the last bag of household waste that exceeds .. celul-cl. Wile triggers the two locks 7 of the filling hatches 2 and the indicator 8

  is lit continuously indicating that containers 3, 13, 14 and 15 are full.

I. t - 2-

  The emptying process for the four containers is as follows.

  The opening of the double door 1 leads through the door contactors 10, the

putting the system into manual mode.

  With the double door 1 open, the container 3 can be taken out to empty and replace it. The rotation of 90 to face the double door 1 the container 13 is done

  ['using a push button which activates the gear motor 5.

  The stopping position of the container 13 is ensured by the electric end stops of

race 12.

  The process for emptying containers 14 and 15 is identical.

  When the emptying operation of the four containers is complete, the closing of the double door 1 puts the system back in automatic mode through the contactors 10

  and a new filling cycle can begin.

  The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the collection of waste

1 5 housewives.

Claims (7)

  1) The automatic rotation device for household waste containers to allow their permutation when they are full wind characterized in that it comprises a double door 1 provided with two filling hatches 2 situated vertically   from the container 3 fixed by an arm 4 to the hub of a gear motor 5.   2) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the closing of the double door 1 causes [using contactors 10 the automatic mode of the system.   3) Device according to claims 1 and 2 characterized in that when the first   With container 3 is full, the photocell 11 detects after a   fifteen seconds the bag that protrudes from the container 3.   4) Device according to claim 3 characterized in that this detection causes, after checking their closure by the contactors 9, blocking the hatches   filling 2 by the latches 7 and the flashing of the indicator 8.   ) Device according to claims 1 and 2 characterized in that the geared motor 5 starts to put, through the arms 4 the container 13 in place,   positioning is ensured by the electric stops of fn de.course 12.   6) Device according to claims 2, 3, 4 and 5 characterized in that the detection   by the photoelectric cell 11 of the bag which protrudes from the last container 15 also leads to the locking of the filling hatches 2 the ignition in   indicator 8 continuously and the cycle stops.   7) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the opening of the double   door 1 causes using the contactors 10 to put the system into manual mode.   8) Di spos iti f according to claim 7 characterized in that the draining of the containers 3, 13, 14 and 15 is carried out using a manual electric button which directly actuates the gear motor 5 to put ccux - opposite the double door 1 and whose positioning (of the containers) is ensured by the limit stops
