Abstract
Description
L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif de réduction de volume d'au moins un récipient en matière plastique. The invention relates to a device for reducing the volume of at least one plastic container.
L'invention a, plus particulièrement mais non exclusivement, pour objectif de faciliter l'élimination des bouteilles semi-rigides en matière plastique. The invention has, more particularly but not exclusively, the objective of facilitating the elimination of semi-rigid plastic bottles.
Depuis quelques années, les emballages en matière plastique ont supplanté les emballages en verre car ils étaient notamment moins fragiles mais aussi moins coûteux à produire ce qui permettait de ne pas les réutiliser et d'éviter ainsi de devoir les consigner. In recent years, plastic packaging has supplanted glass packaging because they were notably less fragile but also less expensive to produce, which made it possible not to reuse them and thus avoid having to consign them.
Ces emballages dits "perdus" ou jetables sont toutefois venus s'ajouter aux déchets déjà nombreux qu'il est nécessaire d'éliminer. These so-called "lost" or disposable packaging have, however, been added to the already numerous waste which it is necessary to eliminate.
Si ces emballages sont légers, ils ont pour inconvénient un grand encombrement. If these packages are light, they have the disadvantage of a large footprint.
Par exemple, ils occupent généralement la plus grande partie des poubelles des particuliers et, par voie de conséquence, de leurs moyens de ramassage et des décharges. For example, they generally occupy most of the private garbage cans and, consequently, their means of collection and landfills.
A ces différents stades, les intéressés doivent alors multiplier le nombre de leurs moyens de stockage, d'ou un court plus élevé, ce qui entraine aussi une augmentation de travail pour les services de ramassage et traitement des résidus. At these various stages, the interested parties must then multiply the number of their storage means, or a shorter one, which also leads to an increase in work for the services of collection and treatment of residues.
Ces emballages sont facilement identifiables et pourraient faire l'objet d'une récupération mais, cela est à l'heure actuelle, pour certains pays, négligé en raison notamment d'un rapport défavorable de la masse de matière plastique sur le volume de la bouteille ce qui nécessiterait pour leur collecte de disposer de moyens de stockage temporaire de trop grands volumes. These packaging are easily identifiable and could be recovered, but this is currently, for some countries, neglected due in particular to an unfavorable ratio of the mass of plastic material on the volume of the bottle which would require for their collection to have temporary storage means of too large volumes.
De part leur nature, ces emballages sont à la fois rigides et élastiques et il est difficile sinon impossible de réduire leur volume en les compressant manuellement comme on pourrait le faire d'un emballage en papier ou en carton léger. Due to their nature, these packages are both rigid and elastic and it is difficult if not impossible to reduce their volume by compressing them manually as one could do with a packaging made of paper or light cardboard.
On peut bien entendu faire appel à des machines réduisant en petits morceaux les bouteilles, tels par exemple des broyeurs mais leur utilisation présente un danger important qu'il est difficile de maitriser à moindre court notamment pour intervenir en début de chaine de récupération ou rechercher une machine permettant une utilisation domestique. It is of course possible to use machines which reduce the bottles to small pieces, such as for example grinders, but their use presents a significant danger which it is difficult to master at short notice, in particular to intervene at the start of the recovery chain or seek a machine for domestic use.
Un des résultats que l'invention vise à obtenir est un dispositif du type cité plus haut pour réduire le volume occupé par un emballage en matière plastique notamment mais non exclusivement du type d'une bouteille qui rémédie à ces inconvénients. One of the results that the invention aims to obtain is a device of the type mentioned above for reducing the volume occupied by a plastic packaging, in particular but not exclusively of the type of a bottle which remedies these drawbacks.
A cet effet, elle a pour objet un tel dispositif notamment caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend
- une enceinte de volume prédéterminée permettant d'y loger en hauteur au moins une partie d'au moins un emballage à réduire,
- au moins un moyen de production de chaleur,
- un moyen de transfert de la chaleur produite par le moyen de production précité,
- un moyen de distribution de cette chaleur dans l'enceinte et,
- des moyens pour contrôler et réguler la température dans une fourchette prédéterminée afin d'amener l'emballage à une température qui le rend suffisamment malléable.To this end, it relates to such a device in particular characterized in that it comprises
- an enclosure of predetermined volume making it possible to accommodate therein at least part of at least one package to be reduced,
- at least one means of producing heat,
a means of transferring the heat produced by the aforementioned means of production,
- a means of distributing this heat in the enclosure and,
- Means for controlling and regulating the temperature within a predetermined range in order to bring the packaging to a temperature which makes it sufficiently malleable.
L'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description ci-aprés faite à titre d'exemple non limitatif en regard du dessin ci-annexé qui représente schématiquement une vue en coupe d'un dispositif selon l'invention. The invention will be better understood with the aid of the description below given by way of nonlimiting example with regard to the attached drawing which schematically represents a sectional view of a device according to the invention.
En se reportant au dessin, on voit que, pour réduire un emballage 1 en matière plastique, tel plus particulièrement une bouteille 1 qui peut être qualifiée de semi-rigige, on fait appel à un dispositif 2 de réduction de volume, lequel comprend:
- une enceinte 3 de volume prédéterminée permettant d'y loger en hauteur au moins une partie d'au moins un emballage à réduire,
- au moins un moyen 4 de production de chaleur,
- un moyen 5 de transfert de la chaleur produite par le moyen de production précité,
- un moyen 6 de distribution de cette chaleur dans l'enceinte et,
- des moyens 7 pour contrôler et réguler la température dans une fourchette prédéterminée afin d'amener l'emballage à une température qui le rend suffisamment malléable.Referring to the drawing, it can be seen that, in order to reduce a packaging 1 made of plastic material, such more particularly a bottle 1 which can be described as semi-rigid, use is made of a device 2 for reducing volume, which comprises:
an enclosure 3 of predetermined volume making it possible to accommodate therein at least part of at least one package to be reduced,
- at least one means 4 for producing heat,
a means 5 for transferring the heat produced by the aforementioned production means,
a means 6 for distributing this heat within the enclosure and,
- Means 7 for controlling and regulating the temperature within a predetermined range in order to bring the packaging to a temperature which makes it sufficiently malleable.
De préférence, la hauteur de l'enceinte est largement inférieure à la hauteur moyenne des bouteilles d'eau actuellement sur le marché qui mesure environ trente centimètres. Preferably, the height of the enclosure is much lower than the average height of the water bottles currently on the market which measures approximately thirty centimeters.
Dans une forme préférée de l'invention, le dispositif 2 comprend :
- au moins une résistance électrique 4,
- un ventilateur 14 qui prélève de l'air 5 le force à circuler sur la résistance électrique 4 précitée pour le réchauffer et le distribuer autour de l'emballage qu'il faut compacter de sorte que, sous l'effet de la chaleur, la matière plastique de l'emballage se ramollit et qu'une légère pression exercée sur la partie supérieure de l'emballage permet de le comprimer facilement.In a preferred form of the invention, the device 2 comprises:
- at least one electrical resistance 4,
- A fan 14 which takes air 5 forces it to circulate on the aforementioned electrical resistance 4 to heat it and distribute it around the packaging which must be compacted so that, under the effect of heat, the plastic material of the packaging softens and that a light pressure exerted on the upper part of the packaging makes it possible to compress it easily.
Dans une forme préférée de réalisation, l'enceinte 3 comprend en périphérie
- d'une part, une première gorge 8 tournée vers l'intérieur de l'enceinte, dans laquelle première gorge 8 la résistance électrique 4 est maintenue par des moyens 9 appropriés et,
- d'autre part, une seconde gorge 10 qui communique au moins localement par des canaux 11 de communication avec le fond de la première gorge 8 de sorte que l'air propulsé dans la seconde gorge 10 passe dans la première gorge ou il se réchauffe pour ensuite ramollir l'emballage.In a preferred embodiment, the enclosure 3 comprises at the periphery
on the one hand, a first groove 8 facing the interior of the enclosure, in which first groove 8 the electrical resistance 4 is maintained by appropriate means 9 and,
- on the other hand, a second groove 10 which communicates at least locally by channels 11 of communication with the bottom of the first groove 8 so that the air propelled in the second groove 10 passes into the first groove or it heats up and then soften the packaging.
De préférence, les canaux 11 de communication s'étendent sans discontinuité sur toute la périphérie de l'enceinte. Preferably, the communication channels 11 extend continuously over the entire periphery of the enclosure.
De préférence, l'ouverture de la première gorge 8 est suffisamment large pour éviter que le flux d'air soit trop concentré afin d'éviter une surchauffe locale de la matière plastique par rapport à son point de ramolissement. Preferably, the opening of the first groove 8 is wide enough to prevent the air flow from being too concentrated in order to avoid local overheating of the plastic material relative to its softening point.
Il faut en effet rester en dessous du point de fusion voire d'émission des matières inflammables. It is indeed necessary to remain below the melting point or even the emission point of flammable materials.
Notamment, dans le cas d'un dispositif traitant un seul emballage à la fois, l'enceinte a, par exemple, une forme cylindrique de révolution parfaitement adaptée aux bouteilles, c'est à dire de section au moins légèrement supérieure à celle de la bouteille. In particular, in the case of a device treating a single package at a time, the enclosure has, for example, a cylindrical shape of revolution perfectly adapted to the bottles, that is to say of section at least slightly greater than that of the bottle.
Les moyens 9 de maintien de la résistance sont en matériaux isolants thermiques et électriques. The means 9 for maintaining the resistance are made of thermal and electrical insulating materials.
Pour éviter les contacts accidentels avec la résistance électrique, une grille 12 est placée devant la résistance. To avoid accidental contact with the electrical resistance, a grid 12 is placed in front of the resistance.
Avantageusement, l'enceinte peut comporter une pièce 15 formant couvercle qui présente un doigt 16 de centrage des bouteilles, ce doigt de centrage peut présenter différentes sections décroissantes pour répondre aux spécificités des principaux emballages connus à ce jour. Advantageously, the enclosure may comprise a part 15 forming a cover which has a finger 16 for centering the bottles, this centering finger may have different decreasing sections to meet the specificities of the main packages known to date.
Ceci permet d'exercer une poussée sur le dessus de la bouteille sans subir le rayonnement de la chaleur produite dans l'enceinte du dispositif. This allows to exert a push on the top of the bottle without undergoing the radiation of the heat produced in the enclosure of the device.
Il est prévu au niveau du maintien du goulot par le doigt de centrage des moyens d'évacuation de l'air contenu dans la bouteille. It is provided at the level of the maintenance of the neck by the centering finger of the means for discharging the air contained in the bottle.
Avantageusement, la section interne de l'enceinte est largement supérieure à la section de l'emballage de sorte que, lors de la réduction de la hauteur de l'emballage et donc de sa déformation, il n'y a pas de risque de contact entre la paroi interne de l'enceinte et l'emballage. Advantageously, the internal section of the enclosure is much greater than the section of the packaging so that, during the reduction of the height of the packaging and therefore of its deformation, there is no risk of contact. between the inner wall of the enclosure and the packaging.
Dans une autre forme de réalisation (non représentée), le moyen 5 de transfert de la chaleur est un liquide dans lequel plonge une résistance chauffante formant ainsi un bain marie. In another embodiment (not shown), the heat transfer means 5 is a liquid in which a heating element immerses, thus forming a water bath.
Dans une troisième forme de réalisation (non représentée), le dispositif comprend au moins indirectement des moyens de production de vapeur d'eau et des moyens pour concentrer la vapeur d'eau autour de l'emballage. In a third embodiment (not shown), the device comprises at least indirectly means for producing water vapor and means for concentrating the water vapor around the packaging.
Quelle que soit la version, le dispositif permet de réduire les bouteilles à une hauteur de l'ordre de quatre à cinq centimètres et à un volume environ égal à 15 % du volume initial. Whatever the version, the device makes it possible to reduce the bottles to a height of the order of four to five centimeters and to a volume approximately equal to 15% of the initial volume.
Bien que la description soit faite plus particulièrement pour un dispositif recevant une seule bouteille, les mêmes moyens sont applicables à un dispositif traitant en une seule fois plusieurs bouteilles. Although the description is made more particularly for a device receiving a single bottle, the same means are applicable to a device treating several bottles at once.
