Description

DISPOSITIF COMPACTEUR COMPACTION DEVICE
La présente invention a pour objet un "dispositif compacteur à usage ménager, pour les collectivités et les établissements publics, notamment destiné aux bouteilles en plastique et aux boîtes en aluminium".The present invention relates to a "compactor device for household use, for communities and public establishments, in particular for plastic bottles and aluminum cans".
De nos jours, il est de plus en plus nécessaire d'adopter des solutions rationnelles pour résoudre les problèmes d'évacuation des énormes quantités de déchets produits par nos sociétés modernes.Today, there is an increasing need to adopt rational solutions to solve the problems of disposing of the enormous quantities of waste produced by our modern societies.
Dans le cadre de cette problématique s'insère celle de l'évacuation des ordures ménagères, et en particulier celle des conteneurs pour les boissons : bouteilles en plastique (d'un emploi désormais généralisé) et boîtes en aluminium, qui représentent une partie significative en termes volumétriques.As part of this problem, there is that of the disposal of household waste, and in particular that of containers for drinks: plastic bottles (of a now widespread use) and aluminum boxes, which represent a significant part in volumetric terms.
Ce genre de conteneurs pose le problème du fait que, une fois utilisés et vidés, ils occupent une grande quantité d'espace, tout en produisant des masses d'un volume considérable mais d'un faible poids global, ce qui rend : peu pratique le ramassage individuel et l'accumulation domestique; peu efficace la concentration dans les conteneurs de collectage différencié, souvent saturés; plus dispersif et plus coûteux le transport jusqu'aux centre de recyclage des matières. Souvent, le ramassage au niveau individuel, des collectivités et des établissements publics, finit par être indifférencié et de grosses quantités des conteneurs susdits finissent avec les autres ordures ménagères, ce qui produit des volumes finals élevés de déchets mixtes non recyclables, avec des coûts sociaux plus importants en termes de:This type of container poses the problem of the fact that, once used and emptied, they occupy a large amount of space, while producing masses of considerable volume but of low overall weight, which makes: impractical individual collection and domestic accumulation; ineffective concentration in differentiated collection containers, often saturated; more dispersive and more expensive transport to the material recycling center. Often, collection at the individual level, from communities and public establishments, ends up being undifferentiated and large quantities of the aforementioned containers end up with other household waste, which produces high final volumes of mixed non-recyclable waste, with social costs. most important in terms of:
1) gaspillage de matières qui seraient avantageusement recyclables;1) waste of materials which would be advantageously recyclable;
2) des frais plus importants pour le transport des déchets;2) higher costs for transporting waste;
3) une occupation plus importante des décharges, à présent de plus en plus saturées et difficiles à trouver. Comme solution partielle à ce problème sont apparus des compacteurs de déchets généraux, dotés de pistons qui, en agissant de façon uniforme et non sélective sur des déchets de natures et de consistances diverses, ne fournissent pas toutefois le compactage optimal des conteneurs en question et laissent le précédent point "1" non résolu, en constituant d'autre part une solution coûteuse et encombrante pour l'utilisateur particulier.3) greater occupancy of landfills, now more and more saturated and difficult to find. As a partial solution to this problem, general waste compactors have appeared, equipped with pistons which, by acting in a uniform and non-selective manner on waste of various natures and consistencies, do not however provide the optimal compacting of the containers in question and leave the previous point "1" not resolved, on the other hand constituting an expensive and cumbersome solution for the individual user.
Le BUT PRINCIPAL formant l'objet de la présente invention est celui de résoudre les problèmes de logistique et de manque d'efficacité mis en évidence plus haut, en fournissant un dispositif qui permette de compacter de manière sélective les conteneurs du type bouteilles en plastique et boîtes en aluminium - qui ont, par rapport aux autres déchets, des caractéristiques physiques et de résistance au compactage différentes -, en réduisant leur volume de façon draconienne.The MAIN PURPOSE forming the object of the present invention is that of solving the problems of logistics and inefficiency highlighted above, by providing a device which makes it possible to selectively compact the containers of the plastic bottle type and aluminum boxes - which, compared to other waste, have different physical characteristics and resistance to compaction -, reducing their volume drastically.

- avantageusement, un dispositif ayant des dimensions et un poids limités; avantageusement, un dispositif simple et robuste dans sa structure et sa conception, garant d'une efficacité et d'une fiabilité de fonctionnement dans le temps;- advantageously, a device having limited dimensions and weight; advantageously, a simple and robust device in its structure and design, guaranteeing efficiency and reliability of operation over time;
- avantageusement, un dispositif qui joint aux caractéristiques précédentes celle de présenter des coûts de réalisation limités, condition nécessaire pour sa large diffusion.- advantageously, a device which joins to the preceding characteristics that of presenting limited production costs, a necessary condition for its wide distribution.
Le but principal et les objectifs énumérés ci-dessus sont atteints par un "compacteur à usage ménager, notamment pour les collectivités et les établissements publics, destiné aux bouteilles en plastique et aux boîtes en aluminium", caractérisé par une structure en plastique et en acier ouverte dans sa partie supérieure pour introduire le conteneur à compacter.The main purpose and objectives listed above are achieved by a "compactor for household use, especially for communities and public establishments, intended for plastic bottles and aluminum cans", characterized by a plastic and steel structure open in its upper part to introduce the container to compact.
L'écrasement est effectué par un tampon actionné par deux vis mères en acier couplées au moyen de poulies et d'une courroie dentée en caoutchouc, lesquelles sont actionnées par un moteur électrique à basse puissance démultiplié au moyen d'un couple: roue dentée/vis sans fin.The crushing is carried out by a buffer actuated by two steel lead screws coupled by means of pulleys and a rubber toothed belt, which are powered by a low-power electric motor geared down by a couple: toothed wheel / worm.
Le moteur peut être fourni pour différents voltages: 24 V., 110 V., 220 V., en fonction des débouchés du marché et des exigences du client.The motor can be supplied for different voltages: 24 V., 110 V., 220 V., depending on market outlets and customer requirements.

L'ancrage a lieu grâce à l'interposition de supports isolants en caoutchouc et au moyen d'une glissière coulissante pour retirer le dispositif.The anchoring takes place thanks to the interposition of insulating rubber supports and by means of a sliding slide to remove the device.
Le présent dispositif est entendu principalement pour être intégré de la façon la plus générale, en tant qu'équipement standard, dans les cuisines de conception nouvelle, et éventuellement pour être vendu ou fourni à part.The present device is understood mainly to be integrated in the most general way, as standard equipment, in kitchens of new design, and possibly to be sold or supplied separately.
