Description

The invention relates to a device for collecting garbage and can be used both on the streets of cities and villages, and indoors.

Widely known containers for garbage collection, made in the form of a tank mounted on parallel supports with the possibility of rotation around an axis fixed to the supports. These containers have been used for a long time and are installed in almost all settlements.

Known litter bin containing a box with a handle mounted on the bracket with the ability to rotate around a horizontal axis (see the certificate on the Russian metro station No. 5984, IPC B65F 1/00).

The disadvantages of this technical solution are the discrepancy with environmental, fire and hygiene standards, the inconvenience of unloading the urn, as well as an unaesthetic appearance, since the surface of the urn is completely open.

A garbage container is known, comprising a fixed body and adjacent to it, at least one movable body located rotatably around the outer surface of the fixed body (see the certificate on the Russian metro station No. 5581, IPC B65F 1/00 )

The disadvantages of this technical solution are also the inconsistency with environmental, fire and hygiene standards, the inconvenience of unloading the urn, as well as an unaesthetic appearance, since the surface of the urn is completely open.

A garbage bin is known comprising a bracket with a container rigidly fixed thereto with loading and unloading openings and a discharge opening that is rotatably connected to the container (see certificate No. 5985, IPC B65F 1/00).

However, the disadvantages of this known technical solution is also the mismatch of environmental, fire and hygiene standards, the inconvenience of unloading the urn, as well as an unaesthetic appearance, since the surface of the urn is fully open.

The closest technical solution to the claimed utility model is a waste bin for used paper towels or similar waste, having an upper part including a rear wall, two side walls and a front wall, while the upper part includes sealing means, while sealing means in its original position divides the interior of the bin into the upper compartment and the lower compartment and is movable to open and close the opening in the lower the th part of the trash can, in which the sealing device consists of at least one plate, which is essentially rectangular, and the corners of the specified plate are moved along essentially straight paths during the opening phase, which is from the specified closed initial position performs a pivoting movement to open and re-close said hole in the lower compartment, whereby said plate rotates upside down during movement from closed to re-closed position (see RU patent No. 2391282, IPC B65F 1/10) - prototype.

The technical solution according to patent RU No. 2391282 is more aesthetically pleasing compared to the above-mentioned known technical solutions, because in it the lower part filled with garbage is covered with a plate (s).

However, this dustbin has a number of significant drawbacks. First of all, it is intended only for the collection of paper waste, such as used paper towels. If debris enters the upper part of the box, its movement to the lower part of the box is prevented by sealing plates located in a horizontal position and overlapping the lower compartment of the box. When a certain amount of paper debris is accumulated in the upper compartment above the plates or in time, the plates are set in motion, respectively, the garbage moves to the lower compartment. After filling the bottom compartment of the box with paper towels using plates, the garbage is squeezed - it is compacted in it without tamping.

In this case, if garbage - paper towels or other paper waste when overflowing the lower compartment of the box protrudes in the upper compartment, the garbage gets stuck, which does not allow the plates to return to their original horizontal position, and when the upper box is full, the garbage can fall out of the box, which sets up additional work attendants. In fact, the sealing device works only in the upper part of the bin and does not provide a sufficiently tight compression of debris in the lower part of the bin, which does not contribute to its full filling. Therefore, the cycle between the lower box emptying operations is reduced

The technical problem solved by the proposed utility model is to increase the degree of compaction of garbage in the lower part of the garbage bin, increasing ease of maintenance.

The specified technical effect is achieved by the fact that the garbage can, comprising a housing having an upper part and a lower part, each of which has a back, front and two side walls, is equipped with sealing means, which in its initial position divides the inner space of the box into the upper and lower compartment and made with the possibility of movement by means of an electronically controlled drive with the aim of opening and re-closing the space of the lower compartment of the box, the upper part of the box body is hinged It is fixedly mounted on the back wall of the lower part of the box body and provided with a curved upper surface in the form of a half cylinder, the generators of which smoothly pass into the front and rear walls of the upper part of the box body, the sealing means is made in the form of a hollow drum with a curved outer surface having a receiving and sealing part, and installed with the possibility of rotation by means of a drive around an axis fixed on the side walls of the upper part of the box body, and on a curved upper surface of the upper hour and a housing box is made hatch cover, wherein the receiving portion of the sealing means is concave, and convex sealing portion, and sealing means is provided with drive control device cooperating with sensor closing and opening the hatch and a position sensor sealing means.

The essence of the technical solution is illustrated by drawings, where:

figure 1 - depicts a trash can in an isometric view;

figure 2 - shows the sealing means in isometric projection;

figure 3 - schematically shows the trajectory of the movement of the sealing means within the space of the box.

The garbage can of figure 1 is made in the form of a container, for example, of rectangular cross-section, the housing of which is divided into the upper part of the housing 1 and the lower part of the housing 2. Parts 1 and 2 form the rear wall 3 of the housing of the box, the front wall 4 and two side walls 5 and 6 The upper part 1 of the box body is hinged, pivotally (not shown) mounted on the rear wall 3 of the lower part of the box body 2. The upper part 1 of the box body contains side walls 7 and 8, which are part of the side walls of the body 5 and 6, and a curved upper surface 9 in the form of a half cylinder, about which develops smoothly into the rear 3 and front 4 of the housing wall. The upper part of the housing 1 is equipped with a hatch 10 with a cover 11.

In the upper part of the housing 1 there is a sealing means 12, made in the form of a hollow drum with a curved outer surface, consisting of a receiving part 13 and a sealing part 14 and dividing the inner space of the box into its upper and lower compartments in its initial position. The sealing means 12 is mounted to rotate around an axis 15 mounted on the side walls 7 and 8 of the upper part of the housing 1. In the cavity of the sealing means 12 there is a drive including, for example, an electric motor 16, which interacts with a reduction gear 17, gears 18 and 19 with sealing means 12. The drive 16 is equipped with a control device 20 connected to the closing sensor of the hatch 10 and the position sensor of the sealing device 12. The power supply to the electric motor 16 is carried out using slipbrushes 21 connected to a power source.

Concrete example

The trash can works as follows.

Debris when the hatch 10 is open enters the cavity of the hinged top of the upper part of the housing 1 on the receiving part 13 of the sealing means 12. When the hatch 10 is closed with the lid 11, the hatch 10 closure sensor is triggered by the signal of which the actuator 16 is actuated, for example, an electric motor, which through a reduction gear 17, the gears 18 and 19 rotate the sealing means 12 in the direction of opening the space of the lower part of the box 2. Moreover, in this particular example of the implementation of the litter box, the gear 19 is fixedly mounted on the axis 15, rigidly fixed in b postglacial walls 7 and 8 of the upper housing 1.

When the drum of the sealing device 12 is rotated from its receiving part 13, the garbage is moved to the space of the lower compartment of the lower part of the box body 2. With a further rotation of the drum of the sealing means, the garbage is completely moved to the lower compartment, in which the sealing part 14 of the sealing means 12 is compacted. the drum position sensor of the sealing means 12 is activated, the power circuit is broken, the drum stops in its initial position, the space of the lower compartment of the box overlaps.

Then, the next time the garbage enters the receiving part 13 of the sealing means 12, the entire cycle of processing the garbage is repeated.

When the cover 11 of the hatch 10 is open, the rotation of the drum of the sealing means 12 is blocked. When the space of the inner compartment of the lower part of the box body 2 is completely filled, the drum also stops.

A warning sound signaling that the box is full can be used.

In the proposed design of the trash can in standby mode, a tight fitting of the sealing means drum to the walls of the trash can body is ensured, thereby preventing the spread of an unpleasant odor. For a more tight shut-off of the lower compartment of the box from dust and odor spreading, sealing shutters may be provided on the walls of the box.

To collect compacted debris, the lower compartment of the box preferably contains a bag. To remove garbage from the drawer, the hinged upper part of the housing 1 opens.

In the proposed design of the trash can can also be used a mechanical drive. An electric drive with a reducer can be placed both inside the sealing means drum and on the housing. Placing the drive inside the drum makes the design more convenient and allows more rational use of the inner space of the box.

Compared with the prototype, the proposed technical solution significantly increased the degree of compaction of garbage in the lower compartment of the lower part of the box body. The implementation of the sealing means in the form of a drum with a convex sealing part provides a ramming force sufficient to compress pieces of any kind of debris. Depending on the shape and type of garbage, the receiving part of the sealing means can also be of any shape.

While in accordance with the prototype, the garbage can of a known design is intended only for paper garbage, mainly for used paper towels. Due to the fact that the movable plates of the sealing device in the known waste bin only compact the paper waste by forcing the sealing plates to return to their original horizontal position, the lower compartment of the box may overflow. As a result, paper trash can protrude into the upper compartment, get stuck and stop the movement of the sealing means plates, overflow the upper compartment of the upper part of the drawer body and fall outside the bag, setting up additional work for maintenance staff, violating environmental and aesthetic standards.

The proposed design of the litter box in standby mode provides a snug fit of the drum of the sealing device to the walls of the body of the garbage bin, thereby preventing the spread of unpleasant odors.

These advantages make it possible to successfully apply the proposed mechanized design of the garbage can in crowded places, for example, at airports, train stations, subways, stadiums, etc.

In addition, the compaction and pressing of household and other garbage in the place of primary assembly, reduces the labor costs of its removal and transportation to garbage containers. It allows more efficient use of the volume of garbage containers, which, in turn, allows you to reduce their number and area, accelerate the speed of loading and garbage removal. Compaction of garbage in the places of its primary assembly will increase the efficiency of its pressing in the subsequent stages of processing.
