Description

SOPKARLSTVATT TEKNISKT OMRADE SOPKARLSTVATT TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Den foreliggande uppfinningen hdnfor sig till en mobil anordning for automatisk rengoring av sopkarl och ett forfarande for automatisk rengoring av sopkarl vid den mobila anordningen. The present invention relates to a mobile device for automatic cleaning of rubbish bins and a method for automatic cleaning of rubbish bins in the mobile device.

TEKNIKENS STANDPUNKT STATE OF THE ART

[0002] Vid anydndning av sopkarl av plast e. d. i stallet for plastsdckar av engangstyp vid fastigheter är det nodvandigt att dessa sopkdrlrengors aterkommande. Det kan aligga fastighetsagaren att tvatta sitt eller sina sopkdr1 t.ex. ett par, tre ganger om aret. Det forekommer dven att kommuner utfor derma rengoring for att tillse att tvatten blir utford. When disposing of plastic rubbish bins, etc. in the place of disposable plastic decks at real estate, it is necessary for these rubbish bins to be re-used. It may be up to the property owner to wash his or her sopkdr1 e.g. a couple, three times a year. It also happens that municipalities carry out this cleaning to ensure that the water is challenged.

[0003] Det forekommer pa marknaden mobila utrustningar for rengoring av sopkdrl. En sadan visas i skriften DK200301060. Anordningen i denna skrift visar en mobil anldggning, ddr ett sopkarl svangs in till ett tvattutrymme med spolhuvuden. Innan sopkdrlen sydngs in toms restavfall i sopkdrlet till en eller flera containrar. I namnda anordning tvdttas sopkarl som av ett renhallningsforetag redan är tonada pa sitt innehall av sopor, vilket innebdr att endast eventuellt restavfall maste omhandertas. Efter forrattad tvattning av sopkarl aterfors restavfall till sopkdrlet genom att kastas tillbaka fran en container dar restavfallet lagrats under en mellantid. Det framgar inte om det finns anordningar for att mekaniskt kunna genomfora hterforandet av restavfall. Att helautomatiskt utfora de olika stegen i processen diskuteras inte alls. There are mobile equipment for cleaning garbage cans on the market. One of these is shown in the publication DK200301060. The device in this document shows a mobile device, in which a garbage man is swung into a washing room with flushing heads. Before the rubbish bin is emptied, empty residual waste in the rubbish bin into one or more containers. In the said device, bins are washed which have already been toned down by a cleaning company on their waste contents, which means that only any residual waste must be disposed of. After pre-washing of the rubbish bin, residual waste is returned to the rubbish bin by being thrown back from a container where the residual waste has been stored for an intermediate period. It is not clear whether there are devices for mechanically carrying out the recycling of residual waste. Fully automatic execution of the various steps in the process is not discussed at all.

Ytterligare ett dokument, SE516839, visar ett forfarande och anordning for rengoring av sopkdrl. Aven detta dokument visar hur ett sopkarl tvdttas i en mobil tvattanlaggning. I detta fall fors sopkdrlet forst till en forsta anhalt ddr sopkdrlet toms pa sopor till ett mellanlager under tvdttiden. Darefter skjuts sopkdrlet manuellt till en andra anhalt, tvdttanldggningen, ddr rengoring utfors. Ndr sopkdrlet tvdttats rent skjuts sopkdrlet till en tredje anhalt, ddr soporna fran mellanlagret aterfors till sopkdrlet. Forfarandet vid denna mobila anldggning är salunda forenat med ett antal manuellt genomforda forflyttningar av kdrlet mellan olika anhalter pa den mobila enheten och är salunda ganska arbetskravande och tidsodande. 2 BESKRIVNING AV UPPFINNINGEN Another document, SE516839, discloses a method and apparatus for cleaning garbage cans. This document also shows how a garbage man is washed in a mobile washing facility. In this case, the garbage can is first moved to a first stop where the garbage can is emptied of garbage into an intermediate storage during the washing period. Then the garbage can is manually pushed to a second stop, the washing plant, where cleaning is performed. When the rubbish bin has been washed clean, the rubbish bin is pushed to a third stop, where the rubbish from the intermediate storage is returned to the rubbish bin. The method of this mobile plant is thus combined with a number of manually performed movements of the vessel between different stops on the mobile unit and is thus quite labor-intensive and time-consuming. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0004] Den foreliggande uppfinningen visar en mobil tvattanordning for sopkarl, dvs. en sopkarlstvatt. Sopkarlen kan innehalla sopor fore rengoringen. Av detta skal framlaggs h5r en sopkarlstvatt som uppvisar helautomatisk tomning av sopor till en mellanlagring i en behallare under tiden som sopkarlet rengOrs. Efter rengOringen av sopkarlet aterfOrs de mellanlagrade sopoma helautomatiskt till det rengjorda sopkarlet. The present invention shows a mobile washing device for garbage man, i.e. a garbage man. The garbage can may contain garbage before cleaning. From this shell is presented here a garbage man's water which has a fully automatic emptying of garbage to an intermediate storage in a container while the garbage man is being cleaned. After cleaning the rubbish bin, the temporarily stored rubbish is returned to the cleaned rubbish bin fully automatically.

[0005] Enligt en aspekt av uppfinningen presenteras ett forfarande for rengoring av sopkarl vid en mobil tvattanordning specificerad i det oberoende patentkravet 1. According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of cleaning garbage man in a mobile washing device specified in independent claim 1.

[0006] Enligt ytterligare en aspekt av uppfinningen presenteras i det oberoende patentkravet 6 en anordning for genomforande av forfarandet enligt patentkrav 1. According to a further aspect of the invention, the independent claim 6 presents a device for carrying out the method according to claim 1.

[0007] Ytterligare utforanden av uppfinningen presenteras i de beroende patentkraven. Further embodiments of the invention are presented in the dependent claims.

[0008] En fordel med forfarandet och anordningen enligt den foreliggande uppfinningen är att processen är helt automatiserad. Hela processen fran applicering av sopkarlet pa karllyften pa den mobila enheten fram till aterforandet av sopor till det rengjorda sopkarlet och dess aterplacering pa karllyften sker utan behov av manuell hantering. En motsvarande helautomatisering forekommer inte i flagon kand teknik. Den ovan namnda skriften DK200301060 visar inte flagon losning for tillbakatomning av mellanlagrade sopor pa ett mekaniskt eller automatiserat satt. Likasa framkommer inte heller hur sopkarl tvattas med nagon maskinell metod integrerad med ovriga steg i en tvattprocess. Salunda kravs uppfinningsenliga kgarder for att 5.stadkomma en helautomatiserad tvattprocess utan inblandning av manuella ingrepp. An advantage of the method and device according to the present invention is that the process is fully automated. The entire process from application of the rubbish bin to the manlift on the mobile unit to the return of rubbish to the cleaned rubbish bin and its repositioning on the manlift takes place without the need for manual handling. A corresponding full automation does not occur in advanced technology. The above-mentioned document DK200301060 does not show a flake solution for returning empty storage waste in a mechanical or automated manner. Nor does it appear how garbage man is washed with any mechanical method integrated with other steps in a washing process. Thus, inventive measures are required to provide a fully automated washing process without the intervention of manual intervention.

BESKRIVNING AV UTFORANDEN DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0009] I det foljande beskrivs ett antal utforanden av uppfinningen med stod av de bilagda ritningama. Ritningama visar endast schematiskt principen for uppfinningen och gor ej ansprak pa att skalenligt visa nagra proportioner mellan olika element av denna. In the following, a number of embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings show only schematically the principle of the invention and do not claim to show to some extent any proportions between different elements thereof.

[0010] I figurerna nedan med tillhorande beskrivningar visas ett tvattrum 1 och en med detta tvattrum integrerad karllyft 2. Tvattrummet med karllyften är avsedd att vara mobil genom att 3 monteras pa en mindre lastbil 10, vilket visas schematiskt i figur 12. Eftersom tvdttrummet 1 är minimerat genom att hysa dven en behallare 3 for mellanlagring av sopor inne i tvdttrummet kan ett litet lastfordon (t.ex. 3,5 ton) anyandas for sopkdrlstvdtten, vilket inte är mojligt med tidigare kdnda mobila sopkdrlstvdttar, ddr betydligt stone lastfordon erfordras. The figures below with accompanying descriptions show a washroom 1 and a man lift 2 integrated with this washroom. The washroom with the man lift is intended to be mobile by being mounted on a smaller truck 10, which is shown schematically in Figure 12. Since the washroom 1 is minimized by housing also a container 3 for intermediate storage of garbage inside the laundry room, a small truck (eg 3.5 tons) can be used elsewhere for the garbage truck storage, which is not possible with previously known mobile garbage truck storage, where significantly stone trucks are required.

Hdr nedan beskrivs en process for tvatt av sopkarl steg for steg i figurer som representerar de olika stegen. En ritningsforteckning anses hdrigenom inte vara nodvdndig. Hdr below describes a process for washing the garbage man step by step in figures representing the different steps. A drawing list is thus not considered necessary.

Figur 1 visar tvattrummet 1 och ett sopkarl 4 som placerats i karllyften 2 for tvdttning. Kdrllyften 2, i detta utforande, griper om sopkdrlet 4 utefter en sida av detta. En operator har hamtat sopkdrlet 4 fran sin stationeringsplats. Figure 1 shows the washroom 1 and a garbage man 4 placed in the manhole lift 2 for washing. The carriage lift 2, in this embodiment, grips the garbage carriage 4 along one side thereof. An operator has retrieved the rubbish bin 4 from his stationing place.

Figur 2 illustrerar hur sopkdrlet 4 lyfts och roteras mot en oppning i tvdttrummets 1 ovre del. Figure 2 illustrates how the garbage can 4 is lifted and rotated towards an opening in the upper part of the washroom 1.

Figur 3 askadliggor ett ldge i processen ddr sopkdrlet 4 natt sin hogsta punkt vid lyftet och ddr sopkdrlets 4 oppning vdnds nedat och mat i tvattrummet 1. Eventuellt befintliga sopor i sopkdrlet 4 toms ned i behallaren 3, ddr dessa sopor lagras under tiden som tvattningen av sopkdrlet 4 pagar. Behallaren 3 kan i detta steg av processen vara lutad nagot mot sopkdrlets oppning for att nedfallande sopor skall hamna rdtt. Forflyttningen eller lutningen av behallaren 3 kan utforas medelst arbetscylindrar 5 (eller motsvarande), som i sina nedre delar är roterbart angjorda vid tvdttrummets nedre del, en pa vardera sidan av behallaren 3. Figure 3 ash leaves in the process where the rubbish bin 4 at night reaches its highest point at the lift and where the opening of the rubbish bin 4 is turned down and food in the washroom 1. Any existing rubbish in the rubbish bin 4 is emptied into the container 3, where these rubbish is stored sopkdrlet 4 pagar. The container 3 can in this step of the process be inclined slightly towards the opening of the rubbish bin so that falling rubbish ends up red. The movement or inclination of the container 3 can be carried out by means of working cylinders 5 (or equivalent), which in their lower parts are rotatably arranged at the lower part of the washroom, one on each side of the container 3.

Figur 4 visar hur behallaren 3 for mellanlagring borjar lutas bakat (eller forflyttas bakat) (med bakat avses Mr: bort fran tvdttrummets sidovdgg med kdrllyften). Hdrigenom frigors sopkdrlets 4 oppning for tvdttning. Avsikten är att Ora sopkdrlet atkomligt for tvdttutrustning. Figure 4 shows how the container 3 for intermediate storage begins to be tilted backwards (or moved backwards) (by backed is meant Mr: away from the side wall of the washroom with the boiler lift). This frees up the opening of the garbage can 4 for washing. The intention is to make the Ora garbage can accessible for laundry equipment.

Figur 5 visar att behallaren 3 lutats bort fran sopkdrlet 4 till sitt yttersta dndldge. Hdrigenom kan tvdttutrustningen, i detta fall ett roterande spolmunstycke 6 (som aven kan vara utrustat med en roterande borste) pa en arm 7, sydngas in i sopkdrlets 4 oppning sa att spolvatten kan na sopkdrlets 4 innervdggar och botten for rengoring. Vidare har bortforandet av behallarens 3 oppning fran dess ndrhet till sopkdrlets oppning fullbordats, vilket utgor ett medel for att minska risken for att spillvatten fran tvdttningen av sopkdrlet 4 rinner ner i behallaren 3 for mellanlagring. 4 Figur 6 illustrerar att armen 7 som hailer spolmunstycket 6 vridits in helt i sopkdrlet 4, varvid tvattningen av sopkdrlet 4 kan paborjas. I detta skede anvands hett vatten som tillhandahalls fran en tank 11 ombord pa det mobila lastfordon 10 som hyser tvattrummet 1. Det heta vattnet spolas over sopkdrlets 4 innervaggar medelst det roterande spolmunstycket 6. Det forbrukade heta vattnet rinner ner pa tvattrummets, samlas och aterfOrs till tanken 11. Figure 5 shows that the container 3 has been tilted away from the rubbish bin 4 to its outermost end. As a result, the washing equipment, in this case a rotating rinsing nozzle 6 (which may also be equipped with a rotating brush) on an arm 7, can be seeped into the opening of the rubbish bin 4 so that rinsing water can reach the inner walls of the rubbish bin 4 and the bottom for cleaning. Furthermore, the removal of the opening of the container 3 from its proximity to the opening of the rubbish bin has been completed, which constitutes a means of reducing the risk of waste water from the washing of the rubbish bin 4 flowing down into the container 3 for intermediate storage. Figure 6 illustrates that the arm 7 which holds the flushing nozzle 6 has been turned completely into the garbage can 4, whereby the washing of the garbage can 4 can be drilled. At this stage, hot water supplied from a tank 11 on board the mobile truck 10 housing the washroom 1 is used. The hot water is flushed over the inner walls of the garbage can 4 by means of the rotating flushing nozzle 6. The consumed hot water flows down to the washroom, collects and returns to tanks 11.

Figur 7 askadliggor hur spolmunstycket 6 atergar till sitt utgangslage och hur arbetscylindrarna 5 aterfor behallaren 3 till sitt forsta ldge, dvs. samma ldge som vid mottagning av sopor frail ett sopkarl 4. Figure 7 shows how the flushing nozzle 6 returns to its initial position and how the working cylinders 5 return the container 3 to its first position, ie. same ldge as when receiving garbage frail a garbage man 4.

Figur 8 visar det steg i processen, dar det rengjorda sopkdrlet 4 är under aterforande till sitt ursprungsldge vid start av tvattprocessen. Figure 8 shows the step in the process where the cleaned garbage can 4 is being returned to its original source at the start of the washing process.

Figur 9 visar ldget dar sopkdrlet 4 helt aterforts till sitt ursprungsldge. Samtidigt paborjas ett lyft av behallaren 3, dar denna vands atminstone delvis upp och ned och ut Over oppningen i tvattrummet 1, sa att soporna som mellanlagrats kan falla ned i och aterforas till det rengjorda sopkdrlet 4. Detta är genomforbart genom att behallaren 3 är ledad till en arm ansluten till kdrlyftet 2 vid leden 8 och där samtidigt arbetscylindrarna 5 roterar behallaren 3 runt leden 8. Figure 9 shows the bed where the rubbish bin 4 is completely returned to its original length. At the same time, a lift is drilled by the container 3, where it is at least partially turned upside down and out. Over the opening in the washroom 1, so that the rubbish which has been stored in the middle can fall into and be returned to the cleaned rubbish bin 4. This is feasible by the container 3 being hinged to an arm connected to the car lift 2 at the joint 8 and where at the same time the working cylinders 5 rotate the container 3 around the joint 8.

Figur 10 visar behallaren 3 i sitt oversta ldge, dar sopor tippas ned i det rengjorda sopkdrlet 4. Figure 10 shows the container 3 in its upper part, where rubbish is dumped into the cleaned rubbish bin 4.

Figur 11 illustrerar sankningen av behallaren 3 tillbaka till sitt ursprungsldge for mottagning av sopor for mellanlagring vid en kommande tvatt av sopkdrl. Figure 11 illustrates the lowering of the container 3 back to its original location for receiving garbage for intermediate storage in the event of a future washing of garbage cans.

Vid sista steget i tvattprocessen har karllyften 2 fort ned det rengjorda sopkdrlet 4 till sitt slutlage och behallaren 2 for mellanlagring har med hjdlp av arbetscylindrarna 5 aterforts till sitt ursprungsldge. Detta illustreras pa samma satt som i figur 1, men dar i detta ldge sopkdrlet 4 är rengjort och kan av en operator koras tillbaka till sin stationeringsplats. At the last step in the washing process, the male lift 2 has quickly lowered the cleaned garbage can 4 to its final layer and the container 2 for intermediate storage has been returned to its original length with the aid of the working cylinders 5. This is illustrated in the same way as in figure 1, but where in this empty garbage can 4 is cleaned and can be driven back to its stationing place by an operator.

Figur 12 visar schematiskt ett fordon 10 som är utrustat med ett tvattrum 1 som arbetar enligt processen beskriven ovan. Figure 12 schematically shows a vehicle 10 equipped with a washroom 1 operating according to the process described above.

[0011] Alla steg i tvattprocessen enligt beskrivningen av figurerna utfors automatiskt och sekventiellt, dar processen startas av operatoren, efter det att denne placerat ett sopkarl 4 for tvattning i karllyften 2. Ett styrorgan (ej visat) som overvakar samtliga mekaniska komponenter som utfor operationer i tvattprocessen ombesorjer att de beskrivna stegen utfors i turordning och sekventiellt. All steps in the washing process as described in the figures are performed automatically and sequentially, where the process is started by the operator, after he has placed a garbage man 4 for washing in the manhole lift 2. A control means (not shown) which monitors all mechanical components performing operations in the washing process ensures that the described steps are performed in turn and sequentially.

[0012] I den mobila enheten, dvs. i det visade utforandet am/ands en tank 11 for spolvatten. In the mobile unit, i.e. in the embodiment shown there is a tank 11 for flushing water.

Vattentanken rymmer upp till 1 000 liter vatten som filtreras, renas och ateranvands. En dieseldriven hetvattenpanna 12 forser systemet med varmt vatten. Salunda är vattnet som forvaras i tanken 11 hett vatten, vilket medfor att rengoringseffekten vid spolningen av sopkarl forstarks. The water tank holds up to 1,000 liters of water that is filtered, purified and recycled. A diesel-powered hot water boiler 12 supplies the system with hot water. Salunda, the water stored in the tank 11 is hot water, which means that the cleaning effect during the rinsing of the rubbish bin is intensified.

[0013] Tvattanordningen enligt uppfinningen drivs av fordonets 10 eget kraftuttag (PTO, Power Take Off). En hogtryckspump pa 80 Bar forser spolmunstycket 6 med vatten av hogt tryck. 6 The washing device according to the invention is driven by the vehicle's own power take-off (PTO). A high-pressure pump of 80 Bar supplies the flushing nozzle 6 with high-pressure water. 6
