Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method in a waste container truck, including a waste container which is unloaded in a first unloading sequence by opening a first end section, a so-called unloading end, included in the waste container and in a second sequence the waste container is unloaded by displacing a discharge plate or a like located inside the waste container adjacent to its second end section towards the open first end section for removing the waste lying in front of the discharge plate by way of said open first end section.
- An object of this invention is to introduce a method, whereby a waste container truck can be cleaned in its interior portions whenever the cleaning is required.
- a method of the invention is principally characterized in that the interior of a waste container is cleaned by means of cleaning elements to be included in connection with a discharge plate by maneuvering the discharge plate in the longitudinal direction of a waste container.
- the interior of a container element included in a waste container truck is provided with a discharge plate, which is adapted to be movable in the longi- tudinal direction of a container element in such a manner that, during the course of filling the container element of a waste container truck, it advances sequentially towards the second container end from its first, so-called unloading end which is also used for loading the waste container.
- the discharge plate is located essentially at the second end of the waste container and ready to travel, in view of effecting the unloading of the waste container interior, e.g. by means of hydraulic actuators towards the first end which is open at this point.
- a method of the invention can be applied for washing and preferably also for disinfecting the waste container of a waste container truck every time at a dumping site especially during the course of unloading the waste container when the discharge plate is being advanced anyway as required by the above-described overall operation of a waste container truck.
- the invention relates also to an apparatus in a waste container truck.
- the essentially characterizing features of the apparatus are disclosed in the charac ⁇ terizing section of the independent claim directed to an apparatus.
- This apparatus, as well as the embodi- ments set forth in the non-independent claims directed to an apparatus, can be used for carrying out the overall technical process of the invention.
- FIG. 1-3 are schematic side views showing sequen ⁇ tially the application of a method of the invention.
- Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing schematically the cleaning elements to be included in connection with a discharge plate.
- a discharge plate 4 movable horizontally in the longitudinal direction of the waste container 3 and having a shape and size substantially equivalent to those of the cross-section of the waste container and having its main plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the waste container 3, is at this time positioned adjacent to a second end section 2 included in the waste container 3. In front of the discharge plate 4 in its advancing direction (in the right in Fig. 1) there is a waste load to be unloaded.
- the cleaning elements 5 include a first nozzle assembly 5a for laying a preliminary washing agent used in preliminary washing, especially a solvent, on the inner surfaces of the interior portions of the waste container 3, a second nozzle assembly 5b for laying a washing liquid, especially water, on the inner surfaces of the waste container, and a third nozzle assembly 5c for laying a disinfect ⁇ ant on the inner surfaces of the waste container.
- the nozzle assembly 5 is designed as an annular element in contact with the back surface of the discharge plate 4 to extend along the outer edges thereof at a distance from the outer edge.
- the nozzle assemblies 5a- 5c included in the cleaning elements 5 are adapted to direct a washing agent at the inner wall of the waste container 3 over its entire peripheral dimension per ⁇ pendicular to the discharge plate traveling direction.
- FIG. 1 depicts the spraying of a solvent into the interior, i.e. on the walls, ceiling and floor of the waste container.
- the spraying is effected simultaneously with the unloading of the waste con ⁇ tainer 3, said discharge plate 4 moving to the right in Fig. 1 (arrow LSI, moving direction of the first sequence) .
- a solvent unit 6 mounted on a waste container truck includes a solvent pumping unit and is used for supplying a solvent used for the prelimi ⁇ nary washing of the interior of the waste container by way of tubes and hoses 7 included in a pipe system to the nozzle assembly 5a, traveling along with the discharge plate and including nozzles for atomizing and spraying the solvent as a mist onto the inner surfaces of the waste container.
- Fig. 2 depicts an actual washing operation.
- the discharge plate 4 lies adjacent to the first end section 1 ready to commence its action towards the second end section 2 of the waste container (arrow LS2, moving direction of the second sequence) .
- the solvent supply is cut off.
- the waste container truck is provided with a power unit 8, including a smallish water tank 8a and a high-pressure water pump 8b. Water is supplied from said water tank 8a included in the power unit 8 by way of tubes and hoses 9 included in a pipe system to the second nozzle assembly 5b and through its nozzles further onto the inner walls of the interior of the waste container 3. The water is delivered from the nozzles at a high pressure.
- the spent washing water is delivered from the waste container floor 3a (Fig.
- Fig. 3 depicts in more detail the third application sequence of the method, which is a disinfecting operation.
- the advancing discharge plate 4 carrying therewith the third nozzle assembly 5c or disinfectant nozzles, is now retracted into contact with the first end section 1 in the longitudinal direction of the waste container (arrow LS3, moving direction of the third sequence) .
- the discharge plate 4 is in this position as the next waste collection operation is commenced with a waste container truck.
- the pipe system section 7, 9, 17 is connected to the top portion of the cleaning element or nozzle assembly 5.
- Fig. 4 also depicts a port system 21, included in the floor 3a of the waste container 3 above the receptacle 18, whereby the cleaning agent, especially water, is in a flow communication by way of the hose or a like 11 with the water receiver 10.
- the apparatus includes a tank assembly 6, 8a, 16, which thus consists of separate tanks used in various sequences and mounted in connection with a waste container truck.
- the apparatus is provided with a pump assembly (8b, 12) for creating a cleaning agent circulation.
- a method and apparatus of the invention may have a plurality of various applications. Especially, the durations of various sequences can be programmed according to what is required, e.g. for including a plurality of displacements between the end sections. It is also possible to carry out the drying of a waste container e.g. prior to the disin ⁇ fecting sequence. It should be appreciated that, in this invention, the terms “cleaning” and “cleaning agent” explicitly refer to all those components that are used in the overall cleaning process, e.g. just drying air.
