Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for collecting and compacting compactible goods such as paper towels, comprising a housing having an opening intended for supplying the goods, with a receptacle that receives the compactible goods, and a compression element that swivels about an axis above the receptacle whose goods can be compacted between the receiving floor and the compacting element.
- a corresponding device can be found in DE 31 22 355 AI.
- a shaft-like container with an opening is provided, in which a bottom can be moved against the action of an energy store.
- a compression device is provided, which consists of a flap which is attached to a pivot axis and can be pivoted together with the latter from an approximately vertical basic position into a horizontal operative position. This gives the opportunity to squeeze paper towels.
- a disadvantage of the corresponding device is that it is operated manually, and it should also be noted that this often happens with hands still wet, so that hygienic concerns arise.
- the object of the present invention is to develop a device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that, with structurally simple measures, it is possible to compact compactable goods, in particular paper towels, without problem, without the need for manual intervention.
- a high level of reliability is to be provided, with pressing forces being able to be generated to the required extent.
- the problem is essentially solved by the fact that the compression element is a drive with a gear which meshes with a tooth element which runs curved around the axis as the center of the curvature in order to pivot the compression element.
- a preferably plate-shaped compression element such as a plate piston
- which itself comprises the elements that are required for pivoting, so that, with the lightweight construction of the compression element itself, the required mass due to the integrated drive and, if appropriate, further control elements such as a transformer Is made available in order to be able to compress the goods that can be compacted, such as paper towels, to the required extent.
- the drive like the electric motor and the transmission, start from the surface of the compression element that extends on the opening side.
- the transmission comprises at least two gear wheels, one of which meshes with the tooth element like a curved toothed rack.
- a deflector extending the goods to be compacted to the housing extends to an area within the opening, the area running opposite the axis. This itself runs in a first edge region of the compression element, a cover element extending from the edge region of the compression element remote from the axis, which covers the compression element on the opening side and which extends independently of the compression element position at least as far as the deflector.
- the cover element itself is, in particular, a curved sheet-like element such as sheet metal element, which is connected to the edge region of the sealing element that runs remote from the axis and extends in such a way that the cover element extends along the deflector when the compression element runs horizontally or essentially horizontally
- the axis extends and extends on the axis side in a guide which extends along the axis-side inner surface of the housing, to be precise between the inner surface and the axis.
- the edge region of the compression element which is remote from the axis and the guide for the cover element itself run parallel to one another and parallel to the axis.
- the receptacle receiving the goods to be compacted should be lined with a paper bag or with a paper bag, so that the compacted goods can be removed from the device and disposed of together with the paper bag as a unit.
- the compression element preferably has a trapezoidal shape in section, the side surfaces of which show a curved course.
- the shorter base area extends on the receiving side.
- the cover element has an extension such that when the compression element runs horizontally or essentially horizontally, the cover ends directly in the region of the axis. Furthermore, the geometry of the deflector on the cover side should be adapted to the course of the cover, so that it is ensured that goods to be compressed cannot get between the cover and the deflector.
- a sensor such as a light barrier can be provided for monitoring the fill level of the goods fed to the receptacle, so that the goods are automatically compressed after a predetermined fill level has been reached in the receptacle.
- FIG. 1 opening-side area of a device for compressing goods
- Fig. 2 is a representation corresponding to FIG. 1 with different positions of a
- Fig. 3 is a block diagram.
- a device 10 for compressing compactable goods such as paper towels in particular, is shown in a sectional view and in a detail.
- the device 10 comprises a housing 12 with an opening 14 through which the goods can be fed.
- the housing 12 On the bottom side, the housing 12 has a receptacle such as a press basket 16 which can be lined with a sack such as a paper sack, which is made in particular of recyclable material, in order to be able to remove and dispose of compacted goods together with the sack as a unit by means of the device 10.
- a compression element 18 to be referred to as a plate piston is provided, which can be pivoted in the region of an edge 20 about an axis 22 which in turn runs along an inner wall surface 24 of the housing 12. 1 and 2, the plate piston 18 has a trapezoidal geometry in section, the side surfaces 26, 28 of which are curved and the shorter base surface 30 extends on the receiving side. On the top, i.e.
- a drive in the form of an electric motor 34 with a gear 36 emanating therefrom is provided in the plate piston 18, which should include at least two gear wheels 38, 40, of which the gear wheel 40, which is not directly connected to the output shaft, has a gear toothed rack 42 meshes, which is bent about the axis 22 as the center of curvature.
- the rack 42 itself can be arranged on an inner surface of the housing 12 that extends perpendicular to the wall 24.
- a deflector 44 extends from the inner wall surface 24 of the housing 12 near the axis, which ensures that the material passing through the opening 14 is fed to the housing 12 and thus to the pressing basket 16 to the area which is remote from the axis , This ensures that, when the plate piston 18 is raised, that is to say the accessible receptacle 16, good cannot get between the plate piston 18 and the inner wall 24.
- a cover 46 is provided, which extends from the edge region 48 of the piston 18 remote from the axis to the underside of the deflector 44 and then along the inner wall surface 24 of the housing 12.
- the cover element 46 consequently has the geometry of a half-ellipse or approximately a half-ellipse in section.
- the cover element 46 extends in the region of the inner wall 24 along a guide.
- the deflector 44 on the cover element side has a geometry which is adapted to the course of the cover element 44, so that when the plate piston 18 and thus the cover element 46 are adjusted, no gap can form between the deflector 44 and the cover element 46 itself, otherwise in the cover element 46 possibly stuck goods can get.
- FIG. 2 Different positions of the plate piston 18 can be seen in FIG. 2. It can be seen that when the gear 40 is meshed with the toothed rack 42, the desired pivoting of the plate piston 18 takes place without additional measures being required.
- the fact that the drive 34 including control and possibly necessary transformer are integrated in the plate plunger 18 also has the advantage that, with the plate plunger 18 being of a relatively light construction, there is sufficient weight itself to compress the goods such as paper towels to the required extent to be able to.
- FIG. 3 shows a block diagram for the device according to the invention for compressing material, in particular paper towels, in order to be able to compress it to a small volume.
- the control is microprocessor-controlled, and a sensor 52 can also be provided for monitoring the fill level of the receptacle 16, as a result of which the plate piston 18 moves from its raised position in the area of the deflector 14 (position 48 in FIG. 2) to its horizontal position (position 50 in Fig. 2) is pivoted by meshing the gear 40 with the curved rack 42.
- a safety switch 54 is also provided.
- Pushbuttons 56, 58 can also be provided for commissioning or for switching off.
