Definitions

  • An apparatus for compressing garbage dropping through shafts are characterized in that the garbage is consecutively compressed in three stages in a compression chamber by pressures extending perpendicularly to each other, whereby in the course of the first stage a pressure plate causes compression in horizontal direction while separating the shaft from the compression chamber, the plate being moved into a position wherein it forms a wall of the final compression space, while in the second stage a second pressure plate carries out compression in a vertical direction perpendicularly to the direction of the first compression and is moved to form a second wall of the final compression space, and while during the third stage a horizontal compression against a countersupport takes place, the support being moved away from the final comression space at the end of the compression.
  • This invention relates to an apparatus for compressing garbage which is dropped through shafts.
  • Garbage is now compressed before being placed into the usual garbage gathering containers so as to be able to utilize it better and make economically possible the collection of light garbage the propositions of which continuously increase.
  • the apparatus must provide a substantial compression of the garbage and yet it must occupy little space so that it can be introduced into existing buildings. In case of devices wherein garbage drops into shafts there is the danger of operational breakdowns when a new supply of garbage is dropped during the compression process.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an extensive compression of garbage without any difficulties while using little space for the apparatus.
  • Pressure which according to this invention is carried out in different directions, provides a better compression of garbage which is not homogenous.
  • the volume of the compression chamber is diminished for the following stage corresponding to the compression which took place pre viously, so that the pressure effect is fully utilized in the following stage. There is no interference with the compression procedure by the subsequently dropping garbage.
  • a press used to carry out the present invention includes a filling chamber which may be connected with the shaft and a compression chamber located to the side of the filling chamber and extending along the entire width thereof.
  • the bottom of the filling chamber consists of a first pressure plate which is swingably upwardly about a horizontal axis and which in its bottom position constitutes a slide from the filling chamber to the compression chamber, while in its upwardly swung position it separates the filling chamber from the compression chamber and constitutes a wall of the final compression space.
  • the plate carries upon its rear side an upwardly curved section which forms the bottom of the filling chamber when the plate is swung upwardly.
  • a second pressure plate which has the same width as the first pressure plate, extends along the first pressure plate when it is swung upwardly.
  • the second pressure plate is movable vertically and at the end of its compression stroke it forms the second wall of the final compression space.
  • a third pressure plate is located horizontally close to the final compression space and is movable horizontally along the raised second pressure plate toward a slide which limits the final compression space and which can be moved away from the final compression space after the end of the compression.
  • the hydraulic piston-cylinder aggregate for the third pressure plate is located above the final compression space and a tubular extension piece is connected with the piston rod of the aggregate along its entire length. This extension piece carries at its other end the third pressure plate extending into the final compression space.
  • a pressure means source for the piston-cylinder aggregates is located at the foot of the casing below the first pressure plate.
  • This arrangement provides an extremely compact and yet accessible construction which requires only a small base surface in relation to the cross section of the filling chamber and which is of small height.
  • the piston-cylinder aggregates are located in chambers which are otherwise free. The small space requirements of the press facilitate its adaptation, particularly if it is incorporated later on in already existing buildings.
  • a cutting knife for the garbage is provided at the casing of the compression chamber close to the upper edge of the first pressure plate when it is swung upwardly.
  • FIG. 1 shows the press in front view, partly in section, looking in the direction of arrow I in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 2 is a side view, partly in section, looking in the direction of arrow II in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 3 is a top view of the press.
  • the press shown in the drawings has an upper part containing the filling chamber 1 and the compression chamber 2, as well as a bottom part 3.
  • the press can be connected at the filling chamber 1 by means of a flange 4 with the shaft of a building.
  • the bottom of the filling chamber 1 is constituted to a greater part by a first pressure plate 5 which can be swung upwardly about a horizontal axle 6 in the direction of the arrow A (FIG. 2).
  • the plate 5 In its bottom position the plate 5 constitutes a slide directed from the filling chamber 1 to the compression chamber 2.
  • the plate 5 When the plate 5 is swung upwardly it moves garbage which was dropped into the filling chamber 1 while compressing it into the compression chamber 2. At the end of this movement the plate 5 closes the compression chamber 2 relatively to the filling chamber 1.
  • the casing carries a knife 7 which can cut garbage located within its range so that this garbage can not impede the movement of the plate 5 into its upper position.
  • the plate 5 carries upon its rear side a curved plate 8 which forms the bottom of the filling chamber 1 when the plate 5 is swung upwardly.
  • the plate 5 is moved by a hydraulic piston-cylinder aggregate 9 which is pivotally fixed at the bottom of the foot portion 3 of the casing and to the plate 5.
  • the compression chamber 2 extends along the entire width of the filling chamber 1.
  • a second pressure plate 10 is movable vertically in the compression chamber 2 along the first pressure plate 5 when the latter is in the upwardly swung position, as indicated by the arrow B in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the plate 10' forms a second wall, so that a final compression space 11 is provided (FIG. 3).
  • the second pressure plate 10 is moved by a second hydraulic piston-cylinder aggregate 12 which is also mounted at the bottom 3 of the casing.
  • a third pressure plate 13 is located sidewise in the casing close to the final compression space 11.
  • the plate 13 is movable horizontally along the compression plate 10 when the plate 10 is raised.
  • the plate 13 is actuated by a third hydraulic piston-cylinder aggregate 14.
  • the aggregate 14 has a longitudinal axis extending parallel to the second compression plate 10 and is located above the final compression space 11.
  • the third pressure plate 13 is connected with one end of a tubular connecting piece 15 which surrounds the aggregate 14 along its entire length and which is movably mounted in the casing.
  • the other end of the tubular piece 15 is connected with the piston rod 16 of the third piston-cylinder aggregate 14.
  • the various hydraulic piston-cylinder aggregates are supplied from a source 19 of pressure medium located at the bottom 3 of the casing.
  • a curved downwardly directed outlet pipe 20 is located behind the slide 17 as a continuation of the final compression space 11, the opening of the pipe 20- being located above the usual garbage collecting container 21 which is placed under it. Upon the completion of the compressing operations, the compressed garbage pieces are pushed out of the pipe 20 by the moving third pressure plate 13.
  • the press of the present invention requires a comparatively small ground surface in relation to the filling chamber so that, as a rule, a subsequent attachment of the press to existing housing installations will present no difficulties.
  • An apparatus for compressing garbage comprising means forming a garbage receiving chamber, means forming a compression chamber located adjacent said garbage receiving chamber, a swingable pressure plate constituting the bottom of said garbage receiving chamber in a lower position and constituting a wall separating said garbage receiving chamber from said compression chamber in an upper position, said plate having means closing said garbage receiving chamber in the upper position of the plate, a second pressure plate movable vertically in said compression chamber, said compression chamber comprising an upper final compression space limited by a portion of the first-mentioned plate in the upper position thereof and by the second-mentioned plate in an upper position thereof, a slide located opposite said final compression space, means movable horizontally through said final compression space toward said slide for the final compression of garbage in said final compression space, and means moving said slide away from said final compression space.
  • An apparatus for compressing garbage in accordance with claim 2 comprising a hydraulic piston-cylinder aggregate connected with the third pressure plate, located above said final compression space and having a piston rod and a connecting member extending the entire length of said piston rod and having one end connected with said piston rod and another end connected with the third pressure plate.
  • An apparatus for compressing garbage in accordance with claim 2 comprising a casing and a source of compressed medium located at the bottom of said casing below said first pressure plate.
  • An apparatus for compressing garbage in accordance with claim 4 comprising a curved downwardly extending outlet pipe carried by said casing, said slide being located between said outlet pipe and said final compression space.
  • An apparatus for compressing garbage in accordance 3,005,403 with claim 4 comprising a knife carried by said casing and 3,065,586 located adjacent an upper edge of said first pressure plate 3,135,400 when the first pressure plate is in its upper position. 3,231,107
