Description

Assisted dump device for containers individual wheels.

Object of the invention

This Utility Model refers to such as follows from the statement, to a dump device assisted for individual rolling containers that contributes to the function that is intended, several advantages that will be reported more forward, apart from others inherent to your organization and Constitution.

Specifically, the object of the invention is a assistive device that, coupled to community containers, facilitates the emptying of individual urban waste bins, by lifting and turning them, in a comfortable, fast and safe.

Background of the invention

The urban waste recycling chain starts in the classification and emptying by the citizen, in the corresponding waste container, depending on the type.

In the case of glass recovery, the private citizen, separate and unload in the appropriate container a small number of containers, which you enter one by one per the small circular mouth of the glass collection container community

However, for professionals, for example of the hospitality industry, and others of great consumption, the procedure described, the only one currently, is cumbersome and dangerous, since the number of containers that you deposit in the container is usually very elevated and, generally, the entire containers are mixed with  broken containers.

Moreover, the individual bucket or container, exceeds the reasonable weight to be lifted and tipped by a single person rationally, so these professionals almost they always need the collaboration of two people to perform this operation

Currently, in many cases, the professional the hotel industry ends up mixing the glass with the rest of the waste, and all end up in the unclassified container.

To solve this problem and increase the percentage of recycled glass, facilitating the emptying of the individual rolling containers in the containers of Community recycling, the mechanism of the invention has been devised described below, which is apt to meet the  Same function for any other type of waste.

It should be noted that the petitioner of the present utility model is unaware of the existence of a device assisted dump for individual rolling containers that present technical, structural and constitutive similar to those advocated by this invention.

Description of the invention

The assisted dump device for individual rolling containers that the invention advocates, is a mechanism that incorporated into the fixed community container, allows downloading the contents of a cube or container standardized rolling stock quickly, safely and with reduced effort

Basically, the device consists of a rack tubular that serves as support, anchoring and transmission of efforts of the mechanical elements, at the same time as load distribution and fixing to the community container.

A tubular swingarm that turns on a hinge upper in the rack, is the container or bucket support individual rolling to download.

This swingarm consists of two outer tubes that end at the bottom in a tab that supports the cube, and in its upper part contains a metal head that houses Different closing and safety mechanisms.

Another inner central tube to the previous ones, reinforces the structure as a truss and also fulfills the function of accommodation of a sliding slide or guillotine, which powered by the bucket's own weight, discover a window of head protection, and unlocks a mechanical system of security that links the swingarm with the frame, in case of no have cube over the first.

To avoid accidents, and guarantee a comfortable, easy and safe procedure, the cube has a armella or upper eyelet, which entering the head, is retained by mechanical closure, fixing the hub bluntly to the swingarm.

This same movement blocking the cube to tilting, unlocks a second insurance, which retains to the swingarm against the frame, if the bucket is not properly subject.

To flip the bucket and empty it into the container, the swingarm travels a circular path over the hinge superior, moved by the user, but with reduced effort, since conventionally placed gas springs assist movement in elevation.

The geometry of the anchor points of the springs and the hinge, is studied for the correct progressivity and to overcome a certain angle in the descent, the springs act in the direction of forcing the swingarm against the frame, which translates into another security element of the device.

Once the cube is unloaded, and returned to its final descent position, unlocking is done so manual, by a pusher that releases the retaining ratchet from the coupling mechanism of the hub-head assembly.

Alternatively, this release can be automatic, incorporating a rocker system that, when locking the tilting in its resting position, unlocks the head hub and vice versa.

On the other hand, to avoid accidental spills of waste on the mechanism, or outside the container, a Cylindrical surface collector guarantees closure between the system and the mouth of the container, during the route of the discharge.

To ensure that the use of the mouth of the container is reserved for the associated cubes for the type of suitable waste, another mechanism actuated by the fixed element of the cube, allows simultaneous opening of the mouth to the movement of the tilting, in such a way that, in the resting position of the system, the mouth cover is closed automatically.

It should be noted that the element associated with the cube It is a simple hitch, which does not require maintenance, is robust, Lightweight and without any danger.

For each fixed container, there may be several individual rolling hubs, depending on the density of surrounding establishments.

The new assisted dump device for individual containers therefore represents a innovative structure of structural features and constitutives unknown so far for that purpose, reasons that together with its practical utility, they provide it with sufficient foundation to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the commented figures and agree with the numbering adopted, you can see in them a preferred embodiment of the dump device assisted for individual rolling containers comprising the parts indicated below.

In this way, the device basically consists of a tubular frame (1) that acts as a support and is anchored by conventional fastening systems to one of the faces side or front of the community container (2).

A tubular swingarm (3) that rotates on a upper hinge (4) on the frame (1), is the support of the container or individual rolling bucket to unload.

This swingarm consists of two outer tubes (3a) and (3b) ending at the bottom in a tab (5) that supports the individual cube (6), and in its upper part it contains a metal head (7) that houses different mechanisms of closure and security.

A central tube (8) located between those mentioned tubes (3a) and (3b) of the swingarm (3), reinforces the structure and houses a sliding slide (9) or guillotine, which is operated by the bucket's own weight, discover a protection window in the head (7), and unlocks a mechanical safety system that links to the swingarm (3) with the frame (1).

For its part, the individual cube (6) incorporates its upper part a eyelet (10) or eyelet, which when introduced in the head (7) is retained by mechanical closure, fixing firmly the individual bucket (6) to the swingarm (3).

Two gas springs (11), conventionally placed, assist the circular movement of lifting the tilting (3).

Optionally, a surface collector cylindrical (not shown) guarantees closure between the system and the mouth of the container, avoiding accidental spills during download path.

Alternatively, another mechanism actuated by the aforementioned armella (10) fixed in the hub individual (6), allows simultaneous opening of the mouth of the Community container (2) to the swingarm movement (3), of such so that, in the resting position of the system, the mouth cover It is closed automatically.

The operating mechanism of the device assisted dump for individual rolling containers is the next:

First, a movement of container lift or individual rolling bucket in order to place it on the lower flange (5) of the swingarm (3).

This first movement, continues to push the individual bucket (6) to the community container (2), so that approximates the mouth of the same to the container, at the same time that, by geometry, the entire individual cube (6) is raised by centimeters with hardly any effort.

The end of this first movement is the interlocking the individual hub (6) in the head (7) by means of the resistant mechanical retention of the eyelet (10) by the mechanism of head crimping (7).

During this process, the individual bucket weight (6) has pressed a rod (12) that, when descending, has slid on the central tube (8) a sliding mechanism (9) that with antagonist spring, on the one hand has discovered a window upper in the head (7), allowing the entrance of the eyelet (10) of the individual cube (6), and on the other hand, has unlocked a retention device that prevented the swingarm from taking off (3) of the frame (1).

At the time of engagement of the individual hub (6) in the head (7), the internal mechanism releases another device from safety that also prevents the swing of the swingarm (3) on the frame (1).

The second phase of the cycle consists of turning the individual cube (6), for emptying its contents, for what the gas springs (11) collaborate by reducing the effort, since are placed so that the weight is balanced in each moment.

The individual cube (6) is raised by a small effort of the user, describing a trajectory of lifting and turning with axle in the upper hinge (4), until it fits the mouth of the same in the community container (2).

Finally, the individual cube (6) is lowered to its initial position, performing the movement in the opposite direction until the end, at which time, the release of the individual cube (6) manually or automatically (depending on whether the device model incorporates the appropriate mechanisms to it), as well as the closing of the lids of the same and the container community (2).

Describe sufficiently the nature of the The present invention, as well as how to implement it, is it states that, within its essentiality, it may be taken to the practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from the one indicated by way of example, and which will also reach  the protection that is collected as long as it is not altered, changed or Modify your fundamental principle.
