SK452021A3 - Hybrid protection of waste containers - Google Patents

Abstract

The hybrid waste container protection consists of a mechanical barrier (2) in which the waste container (1) is stored, while the imitation electric fence conductors (3) are routed directly or in close proximity to the mechanical barrier (2). The sound module (4), which emits sound from the electric fence (3), is attached to the mechanical barrier (2) or is in close proximity to it.

Description

The field of technology

Hybrid waste container protection combines a mechanical and psychological barrier to protect waste containers from wildlife, especially brown bears.

Current state of the art

Currently, various mechanical means are used to protect waste from animals, such as cages, protective structures, or waste containers are anchored to the floor, electric fences are also used. In the case of mechanical solutions, the disadvantage is that a certain discipline is required from the users, it is necessary for them to secure and lock the lids of the containers, and the doors to the cages must also be closed. These actions cause problems for users in practice. Users have different reasons for doing so. For example, they want to stay at least in an area where there is a risk of encountering animals. Or they are users from other cities and they throw away their waste outside their residential address and they don't want anyone to see them throwing it away. Electric fences are sensitive to maintenance, it often happens that they are not functional in public spaces. Users have negative experiences because they were electrocuted. Therefore, it happens that the residents themselves put these electric fences in the necessary condition. The above systems are effective in protecting against wild animals, but have drawbacks for users. It is true that their effectiveness is reduced by human laziness, fear and the like. These user reasons must be accepted and their requirements reflected in technical solutions. Combinations of mechanical solutions and electrical solutions are commonly used, but also with their disadvantages for users.

The hybrid protection of waste containers allows residents to use the containers without having to secure their lids and insertion holes in any way.

The essence of the invention

The essence of the invention is the hybrid protection of waste containers, which protects the waste container from animals by a combination of mechanics and a psychological barrier. Mechanics is represented by a device for fixing a container, whether it is a 1,100-liter, 120-liter, or a 50-liter container standing by the sidewalk in the park. Mechanics is further represented by an imitation of an electric fence in the form of conductors, for example in the form of springs, cables, which do not need any insulators and are directly attached to the mechanical protection of the container. Another mechanical part is a device for sound reproduction, for this task at least one speaker is sufficient, which is connected to the sound source and together they form a transmitter module that can be controlled via various timers and the module thus alternates transmitters and standby states. Mechanical fixers, barriers give a certain stability in case, for example, a bear ignores a psychological barrier. There is a certain assumption that the bear will not react to the psychological barrier, and this is because it has not yet experienced contact with a functional electric fence. It is possible, but due to the fact that there are already several generations that have been in contact with garbage cans and solutions for their protection since birth, so young bears simply have their own knowledge as well as shared knowledge. In addition to his own experiments on random individuals living in the wild. If an individual is found who first comes into contact with the psychological barrier and gains an experience that will be reevaluated after contact with the electric fence. The reproduced sound of the electric fence creates a psychological barrier.

Implementation examples

The hybrid waste container protection consists of a mechanical barrier 2 in which the waste container 1 is stored, while the imitation of the wires of the electric fence 3 is led directly or in close proximity to the mechanical barrier 2. The sound module 4 transmitting the sound of the electric fence 3 is attached to the mechanical barrier 2, or is in close proximity to it. Mechanical barrier 2 should be made of steel as a protective device

SK 45-2021 A3 frame, possibly a cage, or a wooden booth. Imitation electric fence wires 3 can be made of steel, plastic strips, springs, wire. The sound module 4 transmitting the sound of the electric fence 3 can be, for example, an mp3 player suitably equipped with protection against external conditions.
