Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a waste bin.
  • waste bins comprising a container and a mushroom-shaped coupling device that couples with a lifting device comprising a first element that engages with a first portion of the coupling device to lift the bin and a second element that engages with a second portion of the coupling device to control the opening and closure of discharge doors, such as for example EP399280B1 and EP462629B1 .
  • the waste bins of the prior art with such a mushroom-shaped coupling device comprise a container with only one waste compartment, making it impossible to provide other compartments for sorting different types of waste.
  • the state of the art also comprises waste bins comprising a container comprising two compartments such as, for example, DE202014100745U1 , AT5368U1 which have three hook-shaped coupling devices: a first central hook for lifting the bin and two further lateral hooks for controlling respective discharge doors of respective compartments, wherein said two lateral hooks are spaced apart from each other to keep the bin balanced in a position raised from a ground to prevent that the differentiated opening of either of the two discharge doors of respective compartments may unbalance the bin making it fall dangerously.
  • three different coupling devices spaced apart from each other do not allow the spatial orientation of the container to be precisely maintained and do not allow the bin to be precisely positioned on the ground or in an underground location.
  • the object of the present invention is to make a waste bin comprising a container comprising a plurality of separate and independent compartments which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art and which comprises a more compact coupling device of the mushroom-shaped type, which is safer and which has a more precise oriented positioning of the bin.
  • a waste bin 100 comprising a container 10 and a coupling device 20 is shown.
  • Said container 10 moves from a position resting on the ground 90 to a position raised from the ground 90 by means of a lifting device.
  • the container 10 comprises two separate compartments 11, a discharge door 14 for each of said two compartments 11, an independent lever mechanism 150 for each of said at least two compartments 11.
  • the lever mechanism 150 is mounted with the discharge door 14 of the respective compartment 11 of said at least two compartments 11.
  • the coupling device 20 comprises a first coupling element which is a bushing 30 and a second coupling element 40 for each of the two compartments 11.
  • the bushing 30 is fixed with an upper portion 12 of the container 10. It is provided that the bushing comprises a lower flanged edge 32 to be fixed to the upper portion 12 of the container 10.
  • the bushing 30 includes an upper flanged edge 31 adapted to be coupled to a first element of said lifting device so that said lifting device can make said bin 100 pass from the position resting on the ground 90 as shown in figures 1 , 5 , 7 to the position raised from the ground 90 as shown in figures 2 , 6 , 8 .
  • the bushing 30 comprises a through opening 35 from an exterior of the container 10 to each interior of the two compartments 11.
  • Each second coupling element 40 comprises an upper flanged edge 41 and a draw bar 42.
  • Each second coupling element 40 is adapted to pass from a lowered to a raised position, as shown for example in the figures.
  • the upper flanged edge 41 of the second coupling element 40 is adapted to be coupled with a second element of said lifting device so that said lifting device can independently pass each second coupling element 40 from said lowered position to said raised position.
  • Each draw bar 42 of said second coupling element 40 is slidingly mounted with at least a portion of said through opening 35 of said bushing 30.
  • the second coupling elements 40 are two and are slidingly mounted, a first one on the left in the figures with a left portion of the through opening 35 and a second one on the right in the figures with a right portion of the through opening 35.
  • Each second coupling element 40 is mounted with the lever mechanism 150 of the respective compartment 11 so that the second coupling element 40 controls the respective discharge door 14 to open or close, by switching from the raised position to the lowered position.
  • each second coupling element 40 is adapted to penetrate inside the respective compartment 11 of said at least two compartments 11.
  • Said lowered position of said second coupling element 40 provides for said draw bar 42 to be inserted by a greater length inside the respective compartment 11.
  • Said raised position of said second coupling element 40 provides for said draw bar 42 to be inserted by a shorter length inside the respective compartment 11.
  • said draw bar 42 of said second coupling element 40 comprises a prismatic cross section which advantageously avoids a rotation of the container 10 while lifting from the position resting on the ground 90 to the position raised from the ground 90. This is because the bin 100 must maintain its spatial orientation in order to be positioned above the respective hoppers for sorting waste.
  • At least a portion of an inner wall 36 of said bushing 30 is of a shape complementary to that of said draw bar 42, wherein said at least a portion of said inner wall 36 is in correspondence with each of said at least a portion of said through opening 35 of said bushing 30 which slidingly mounts the respective draw bar 42 of the respective second coupling element 40.
  • the respective draw bar 42 is more securely slided on the respective wall portion 36 of the bushing 30 preventing the bin 100 from rotating about its axis.
  • said upper flanged edge 41 of said second coupling element 40 has a curvilinear-shaped upper surface so as to ease grasping by the second element of the lifting device.
  • said lever mechanism 150 comprises a crank 151 which comprises a first end pivoted with a lower end of said draw bar 42 and a connecting rod 152 which comprises a first end pivoted with a second end of said crank 151 and a second end pivoted with said at least one discharge door 14.
  • the first element of the lifting device grasps said upper flanged edge 31 of said bushing 3030 and lifts the bin 100 from the position resting on the ground 90 to the position raised from the ground 90.
  • two second elements of the lifting device grasp the two upper flanged edges 41 of the respective two second coupling elements 40 holding them in a lowered position to keep the two discharge doors 14 of the respective two compartments 11 closed.
  • the respective second coupling element 40 is taken from the lowered position to the raised position by drawing the lever mechanism 150 of the respective compartment 11 behind it and opening the respective discharge door 14 accordingly.
  • the waste bin 100 comprising a container 10 comprising two or more separate and independent compartments 11 according to the present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art and comprises a coupling device 20 that is more compact than the mushroom-shaped type, safer, and enables precise orientation and positioning of the bin 100.
  • the mushroom-shaped coupling device 20 enables lifting and discharging the bin 100 with two or more compartments 11 with discharge doors 14 independent from each other.
  • the bin 100 is moved in an automated way, e.g. with position control systems, increasing the efficiency of the operations involved in discharging waste.
  • the bin 100 is easy to manufacture.
  • ground 90 means the ground 90 of the underground seat where the container 100 rests and position resting on the ground 90 or position raised from the ground 90 means that the bin 100 rests on the ground 90 within the underground seat or is raised from the ground 90 of the underground seat.
  • said container 10 comprises a plurality of separate and independent compartments 11.
  • said container 10 comprises one or more discharge doors 14 for each of said at least two compartments 11.
  • each compartment 11 mounts one or more lever mechanisms 150.
  • the prismatic cross section of the draw bar 42 has a shape included in a list comprising square, rectangular, triangular, pentagonal or more generally polygonal geometric shapes.
  • the wall 36 of the bushing 30 is long enough to completely contain both the second coupling elements 40 so that not even the draw bar 42 penetrates the interior of the compartments 11.
  • said lowered position of said second coupling element 40 provides that said draw bar 42 is inserted for a greater length inside the bushing 30 and that said raised position of said second coupling element 40 provides that said draw bar 42 is inserted for a shorter length inside the bushing 30.
  • a septum wall 34 of said bushing 30 is provided between each second coupling element 40, wherein said septum wall 34 divides an interior of said bushing 30 into at least two spaces, in which each space of said two spaces is comprised between said through opening 35 of said bushing 30 and the interior of each of said at least two spaces 11.
  • said septum wall 34 allows said draw bar 42 to slide better without coming into contact with the other draw bar 42, so as to avoid friction.
  • said septum wall 34 as already provided for the inner wall 36 of the bushing 30, may have a shape complementary to that of the cross section of the respective draw bar 42 so as to even better avoid rotation of the bin 100 once it is lifted from the ground 90.
  • said crank 151 comprises a first portion 156 and a second portion 157 pivoted together by means of a pin 155, so as to ease opening the discharge door 14 of the respective compartment 11.
  • the lever mechanism 150 is alternative and comprises a ring 153 slidingly mounted with said draw bar 42 and a chain or rope or rod 154 comprising a first end fixed to said ring 153 and a second end connected to said at least one discharge door 14, wherein said draw bar 42 comprises a lower end comprising a stop element 43 adapted to block a sliding of said ring 153.
  • the first element of the lifting device grasps said upper flanged edge 31 of said bushing 30 and lifts the bin 100 from the position resting on the ground 90 to the position raised from the ground 90.
  • two second elements of the lifting device grasp the two upper flanged edges 41 of the respective two second coupling elements 40 by lifting them into a raised position to keep the two discharge doors 14 of the respective two compartments 11 closed.
  • the respective second coupling element 40 is taken from the raised position to the lowered position by releasing the lever mechanism 150 of the respective compartment 11 and opening the respective discharge door 14 accordingly.
  • the two second coupling elements 40 are raised until the two draw bars 43 sliding on the respective two rings 153 are stopped by the respective stop element 43 while keeping the chain or rope or rod 154 in traction to keep the respective discharge door 14 of the respective compartment 11 closed.
  • the second coupling element 40 passes from the raised position to the lowered position by releasing the discharge door 14 so that it opens to discharge the waste contained in the respective compartment 11 as shown in figure 6 .
  • the upper flanged edge 41 of said second coupling element 40 has a differently shaped upper surface, for example a flat shape.
