Definitions

  • the invention relates to the technical sector concerning collection of solid urban refuse, with special reference to refuse containers which can be housed below the surface of the ground and devices for movement thereof.
  • the prior art comprises systems for temporary disposal and aid in collection of solid urban refuse, which include the use of containers which can be interred in underground seatings, such that at normal ground level only an access mouth thereof emerges, for insertion - by force of gravity - of refuse into the container, on the part of the users, in particular the public.
  • each of the underground seatings is provided with an internal framework, to which a lid - which can be walked on - is superiorly hinged, which lid offers the mentioned opening, the lid also being located at the level of the walking plane and being destined to be alternatively raised and lowered by means of special movement organs, contained inside the underground seating and connected to the framework.
  • the opening of the walkable lid is obviously necessary for the extraction of the underground container from the relative seating, with the aim of emptying it, the extraction being made possible by lifting organs, usually comprising a raising and supporting motorised platform, on which the container rests, the platform being moved in such a way that the container passes alternatively from an invisible position inside the underground seating to a completely-emerged position, and vice versa.
  • the underground container when the underground container is completely emerged, it can be moved by the motorised organs equipped on the vehicle for collecting the refuse, in the above-described ways, in order to empty them into the large dumper equipped thereon; once emptied, the container is relocated by the motorised organs described above, at the access of the underground seating, and newly rested on the platform.
  • the container repeatedly impacts against the internal walls of the underground seating and/or the framework; this causes rapid wear or actual damage, which, in a case in which it occurs in the above- mentioned universal attachments, means replacing the container itself, as collection of the refuse can no longer be done using the motor vehicles generally used therefor;
  • the container repeatedly impacts against parts of the above-mentioned movement organs and the raising organs present internally of the underground seating, damaging them and requiring their replacement;
  • the container in totally emerged configuration either because brought up by the platform or because it has been placed on the platform by the motorised organs of the vehicle, is upturned, spreading rubbish both on the walking plane and internally of the underground seating, with a consequently longer blocking of operations and an expensive and inconvenient cleaning-up of the areas involved in the tipping of the rubbish.
  • a solution of this type used at present comprises motorised gripping and raising organs, conformed as a fork and comprising two arms, each of which is provided with two cylindrical tines, exhibiting an upper tapering and aimed at contacting and coupling with suitable and respective truncoconical seatings fixed on the sides of the container, the concavity of which faces downwards, in such a way that the container can be rested on and thus supported by the arms.
  • the gripping and raising organs can be moved in such a way that the container alternatively passes from the position of invisibility internally of the underground seating to the completely-emerged position thereof, and vice versa.
  • the container raising and lowering systems which comprise the above- mentioned fork-conformed organs, represents, for reasons which will be explained herein below, one of the various fruitless attempts to obtain a solution to the technical problem of centring the container with respect to the underground seatings, which solution is also efficient and easily usable by the special operators.
  • the raising and lowering device which is particularly destined to support at least a container for collecting solid refuse which can be housed in an underground seating, comprises a substantially horizontal platform and kinematic organs which activate the platform such that it can be moved vertically, alternatively in a rising or descending direction, in a predetermined range of excursion; further, the device comprises, superiorly of the platform, means for centring, in turn comprising at least two roller sets, each of which is formed by at least a first and a second roller, arranged on respective predetermined rotation axes which are perpendicular to one another, the means for centring being used in association with respective recesses for receiving them which are afforded in the container for solid refuse, in such a way as to obtain centring of the container with respect to the underground seating.
  • the raising and lowering device can move the container such that it passes alternatively from an invisible position internally of the underground seating to a completely-emerged position and vice versa.
  • the underground container is particularly suited to receiving solid refuse, is especially destined to be in turn received in an underground seating and is superiorly open;
  • the container comprises a bottom which supports the refuse, which in turn inferiorly comprises at least two centring elements, each of which comprises at least a recess, which defines a decreasing volume from below going upwards along the vertical development thereof, and which comprises a first, a second and a third side, each centring element being associable to a respective set of rollers, comprised in the means for centring of the raising and lowering device, in such a way that the weight of the underground container, when rested on the device with the centring elements substantially superposed on the means for centring, causes the first and/or the second side to cooperate with the first roller of a respective set of rollers and the third side to cooperate with the respective second roller of the set, to bring the container into a stably balanced arrangement, in which each first roller contacts and stably couples with a respective upper portion of the volume defined by the respective recess, such as to ensure a
  • the technical solution not only prevents the container from being subject to the above-described dangerous horizontal translations, as will be explained in more detail herein below, during the vertical movement thereof internally of the underground seating by the respective raising and lowering device, but it significantly provides a centring system the effectiveness of which is completely independent of the skill of the personnel operating the vehicle's motorised organs for collecting solid urban refuse, thus obviating the limitations in the prior art.

  • the kinematic organs 12 comprise a cogged pinion 121 , which is rotatably constrained to an upper end of the stem of a cylinder 122, for example hydraulic or possibly pneumatic, and meshes with a chain 123, an end of which is connected to the framework 31 , the other end being fixed to the platform 11 (see figure 1 ).
  • FIG. 1 only schematically illustrates the structure of the kinematic organs 12, as they are widely known in the sector of raising and lowering devices.
  • the kinematic organs 12 and the jack 33 can be, for example, activated on command of the users, using usual and known piloting means.
  • the platform 11 exhibits a rectangular perimeter and each of the rotation axes, on which the rollers 13, 14 are arranged, is parallel to one of the sides of the platform 11.
  • the two sets of rollers are symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry of the platform 11 which is perpendicular to two sides thereof and parallel to the other two, and are also singly arranged in proximity of the respective opposite sides of the platform 11 (see figure 4).
  • 2 denotes the underground container, which is superiorly open and comprises a bottom 21 which supports the refuse.
  • the bottom 21 infehorly comprises at least two centring elements 22, each of which in turn comprises at least a recess 23 which defines a volume that decreases going from bottom to top in the vertical development thereof, and which comprises a first, a second and a third side 24, 25, 26.
  • Each centring element 22 can advantageously be associated to a respective set of rollers, comprised in the means for centring 12, in such a way that the weight of the underground container 2, when resting on the device 1 with the centring elements 22 substantially superposed on the means for centring 15, is such that the first and/or second side 24,
  • each first roller 13 contacts and stably couples with a respective and suitable upper portion 231 of the volume defined by the respective recesses 23 (see figure 3 in particular) such as to ensure a perfect centring of the container 2 with respect to the underground seating 3.
  • first, second and third side 24, 25, 26 are flat and oblique with respect to an ideal horizontal plane which crosses them and are arranged such that the first and second side 24, 25 face one another (see figures 3 and 5).
  • the first and second side 24 and 25 are arranged such that a vertical section of the internal surface thereof, performed along an ideal plane which is perpendicular to the axis of the first roller 13, defines a trapeze surmounted by a triangle, the triangle having the smaller base of the trapeze as its base.

  • the means for retaining comprise a frame 421 fixed internally to the container 2 and located superiorly of the mobile bottom 4, in which a central communication opening 422 between the mobile bottom 4 and the internal upper volume 28 of the container 2 is afforded, inferiorly defined by the container 2.
  • a special gasket is, for example, placed at the perimeter of the opening 422, in such a way as to seal the passage between the frame 421 and the mobile bottom 4, when the container 2 is arranged vertically (see figure 7).
  • the mobile bottom 4 is connected, thanks to a suitable slot 48 afforded on the bottom of the underground container 2, to a vertical pin 43, located at the bottom of the underground seating 3, the pin 43 being moved by actuator organs 44, in such a way that the activation of the actuator organs 44 produces the horizontal sliding of the mobile bottom 4, so that the solid refuse accumulated in the container 2 is shaken by the indentation 41 , thus homogenising the distribution thereof internally of the underground container 2.
  • the slidable mobile bottom 4 can be actuated periodically to produce a homogeneous distribution of the refuse in the container 2.
  • the mobile bottom 4 can slide on the bottom of the container, resting on skates 49 made of a plastic material.
