 WASTE BIN

The utility model relates to the field of public utilities, in particular to containers for collecting and storing garbage, and can be used in public places: in parks and squares, squares, universities and campuses, airports and train stations, exhibition centers and congress halls, state institutions, shopping and entertainment centers.

The following solutions are known in the art.

So from the description of US patent N ° 7124680 (published October 24, 2006), a solar powered trash device is known that includes a housing with a lid for receiving garbage, a removable hopper located inside the housing and a trash compactor, a door for user access inside the housing , a photovoltaic panel located on the upper outer surface of the housing; a photovoltaic sensor for indicating overflow of the hopper.

The disadvantages of the known solution are that the necessary level of operational safety of the device is not ensured, since the locks used do not have sufficient reliability, and the design does not provide a container for collecting cigarettes, which can lead to fire if an unquenched cigarette enters the garbage receptacle, in addition, there is no base to securely fix the ballot box in place, preventing it from being stolen or dropped, and there is no pedal to open the lid a.

For the closest analogue to the patented solution, a garbage collection device is adopted, which includes a housing, a cover for receiving garbage, a hopper for collecting, a foot pedal for activating the cover, indicators, a trash compactor, solar panels, doors for removing garbage, a weighing system installed under the bunker, locks and a locking system, GPS receiver, a means for transmitting information received by the controller, filling modules and sensors to a remote server (see application US N ° 2014125490, published 05/08/2014). The disadvantages of the closest analogue are the lack of a capacity for collecting cigarettes, which can lead to fire when an unquenched cigarette enters the garbage receptacle, the locks used do not have sufficient reliability and do not provide the necessary level of safety of the device with possible penetration into the device, in addition, the device does not have a sensor that detects the presence or absence of a basket, and therefore, if the basket was not installed in the device, it may occur its failure, that also does not provide the necessary level of security. The technical problem, the solution of which the claimed utility model is aimed at, is the elimination of these shortcomings, the expansion of the arsenal of technical means, the increase in the functional capabilities and operational characteristics of the device.

The technical result of the patented solution is to ensure the safety of the device.

The technical result is achieved through the use of an urn containing a block for used cigarettes, a housing with a loading window for rubbish, a waste container located inside the housing, a sensor for the presence of a waste container and a means for pressing waste, while the housing is equipped with a door for removing the waste container.

Thanks to the implementation of the urn containing the unit for used cigarettes, a housing with a loading window for rubbish, a waste container placed inside the housing, a sensor for the presence of a waste container and means for pressing waste, and providing the housing with a door for removing the waste container, the operation of the device is ensured.

Providing a box for used cigarettes with the urn provides the opportunity to throw used cigarettes into a specially designated box, and not with the rest of the garbage through the loading window, while preventing the possibility of ignition of garbage stored inside the waste container. Thus, supplying the urn with a unit for used cigarettes leads to ensuring the necessary level of safety of the device, the possibility of ignition of garbage inside the urn is excluded, which may disrupt the operation of the urn and its elements, in particular, means for pressing waste.

Placing a sensor for the presence of a waste container on the inside of the ballot box allows you to determine the presence of a waste container inside the ballot box and its proper installation, since in the absence of the mentioned container, garbage will be contacted by the structural elements of the ballot box, which excludes the safety of the ballot box.

In the particular case of the implementation of the utility model, sensors for assessing the fullness of the ballot box with garbage can be installed on the inside of the ballot box, which serve to notify of the need to remove waste from the ballot box.

The loading window for garbage can be made with a lid, which increases the safety of the bin.

The ballot box can be equipped with a metal base, which is fixedly attached to the surface on which the ballot box is dumped, using anchor bolts or weighted with concrete blocks, which can significantly reduce the risk of theft of the device. In addition, the base of the ballot box can be equipped with a pedal for opening the lid of the loading box of the ballot box, while placing the pedal on the base, and not on the door, leads to safe and reliable operation of the device, since it significantly reduces the risk of damage to the ballot box with excessive load on the pedal.

The door for waste recovery can be equipped with a bolt lock, which allows to further increase the safety of the ballot box, because the bolt lock design provides a large area of contact between the door and the ballot box, in addition, there are no fasteners on the front side of the door, which can significantly reduce the risk of access to the internal elements of the urn and their damage.

On the outer surface of the urn body there is a window with signal diodes that inform about the state of the urn, the degree of fullness, and showing the following values: 25% full - green, 50% fullness is yellow, 75% fullness is orange, 100% fullness is red. If the urn malfunctions, the window blinks in color.

The ballot box can be equipped with a ballot box computing module located at the top of the ballot box, connected with signal diodes, a means for pressing waste, sensors for filling and the presence of a basket, and including a GPRS modem that transmits information about the degree of filling the ballot box and its location to the operator’s computer .

In the particular case of the implementation of the utility model, the urn is equipped with an autonomous power source in the form of a solar battery located on the outer surface of the urn and supplying a waste compactor and a waste management computer module, which also improves the reliability of the device by providing the possibility of autonomous operation.

In addition, the body of the urn can be sheathed with polycarbonate, which ensures durability and reduces damage to the urn during use, and on the side and back walls can be located means for attaching advertising and information panels.

Inside the urn to prevent the spread of unpleasant odors, an aromatic element can be placed, for example, in the form of a jar with gel, chalk or salt, its use leads to increased performance.

Next, the solution is illustrated by reference to the figures, which depict the following.

In FIG. 1 - isometric view of the urn;

In FIG. 2 - longitudinal section of the urn, side view; In FIG. 3 - the base of the urn;

In FIG. 4 - block for cigarettes on the inner side of the wall of the urn body. According to the figures, the urn contains a housing 1 made in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped and containing a metal frame made of metal, a front, two side, rear walls, a base and an upper horizontal wall. The side walls of the body are sheathed with polycarbonate and are made with means for attaching advertising and information panels (not shown in the figures).

Inside the power frame 1 (Fig. 2), a means for pressing waste 9 with an electromechanical drive (not shown in the figures) arranged with the possibility of vertical movement along the ballot box is located and secured using bearing bearings (not shown in the figures). The pressing force is created by a chain transmission from the gearbox (not shown in the figures). The waste compactor 9 presses the garbage into a plastic bag located in the waste container 12. The waste container 12 is removable to allow extraction of the plastic bag with compressed waste and is located under the pressing means in the lower part of the ballot box.

Access to the internal parts of the urn, in particular, to the container with waste 12 for its removal for the purpose of garbage collection, is carried out using the door 6 located on the front wall. An additional door may be located on the back wall of the case 1 bin. The door 6 is closed by means of a bolt lock 13, which has three locking mechanisms, due to which a large area of contact of the door with the housing is ensured, the possibility of breaking the doors is prevented and unauthorized access is excluded. In addition, due to the use of the bolt lock 13 on the front side of the door there are no fasteners, which can significantly reduce the risk of access to the internal elements of the ballot box and their damage.

The ballot box has a loading window for garbage 2 located on the front wall of the housing 1, on its upper part. Inside the case, opposite the loading window 2, there is a chute of the garbage chute 16, which eliminates the contact of garbage with the means of pressing waste 9. The loading window for garbage 2 is a rectangular opening on the front wall of the housing 1 with an opening and b closing lid 3 (tray). Opening the lid 3 is possible using the handle 4 located on it or using the pedal 7, which is located in the lower part of the ballot box (on the base 15) and is connected to the lid 3 by means of the rods of the pedal drive 10 and levers 11 located on both sides of the container for waste 12, allowing you to open the cover 3 by pressing the foot on the pedal 7. The force from the pedal 7 is transmitted through levers 11 to the rods of the pedal drive 10 connected to the cover 3, the cover 3 is opened.

To assess the filling of the ballot box with garbage and notifying you of the need to remove waste from the ballot box, sensors 17 are installed inside the case, which allow you to control the level of filling the ballot box displayed on the operator’s computer. As sensors, infrared sensors are used that measure the distance to the nearest obstacle in the path of the IR beam. The urn fullness sensors 17 are installed above the upper edge of the waste storage container 12, one above the other, to measure the height of the garbage at various points. In addition, a sensor 18 is installed inside the housing 1, which determines the presence of a waste container 12, which is located below the upper edge of the mentioned container 12 and transmits data to signal diodes and a ballot box control module (controller), then during a communication session to the operator’s computer, that container for waste 12 not established. Without a container 12, the urn is blocked, in addition, the operation of the means for pressing waste 9 is stopped, thereby ensuring the safety of the device.

The used cigarette unit 5 is a box integrated in the door 6 and has an opening 14 marked with cigarette butts for receiving used cigarettes. The box is mounted on an easily removable pin connector and has a cover 16 for removing cigarette butts.

To ensure the stability of the ballot box and prevent theft, the ballot box has a base 15, through which it is fixedly attached to the surface of the earth with anchor bolts 20 or weighted with concrete blocks (not shown in the figures). The base 15 is a metal plate, the area of which is equal to the area of the ballot box, and is equipped with a pedal 7 connected to the levers 11 to tear off the cover 3 of the loading window 2 by pressing it with a foot. In the upper part of the ballot box, inside the case, a ballot box computing module is fixed (not shown in the figures), which includes a GPRS modem that transmits data on the degree of filling the ballot box and its location to the operator’s computer. On the upper horizontal wall of the ballot box there is a window with signal diodes (not shown in the figures) indicating the status of the device, and a solar battery 8, which powers the battery (not shown in the figures), ensuring the operation of the waste compactor 9, GPRS modem, computing module for the management of the ballot box (controller), sensors 17, 18 and light diodes. Signal diodes inform about the condition of the urn, the degree of fullness of the waste container 12 and show the following values: 25% full - green, 50% full - yellow, 75% full - orange, 100% full - red. If the urn fails, the window blinks in color. The level of fullness of the container for waste 12 is determined using the revolutions of the shaft of the electric motor of the means for pressing waste 9.

An aromatic element 19 may be placed inside the urn to prevent the spread of unpleasant odors.

It is possible to install a set of bins, including up to four bins, each of which is designed to collect a certain type of waste or secondary raw materials. For example, glass, plastic, paper cardboard and other garbage.

The urn works as follows.

The user, by means of the handle 4 or by depressing the pedal 7 with his foot, opens the lid 3 and through the loading window 2 loads the garbage into the bin. In the chute of the garbage chute 16, the garbage enters the waste container 12. As the container 12 is filled with garbage, the waste compactor 9 is activated, as a result of which the garbage is compacted, freeing up space, the level of filling of the waste storage container is determined and displayed by signal diodes. When the level of filling exceeds 100%, the sensors of fullness 17 are activated, transmit information to the computing module of the ballot box (controller), which in turn transmits data via GPS to the operator’s computer with a message about the need for garbage removal from this bin. To remove the waste container 12, open the bolt lock 13 by turning the key and the door 6, remove the container 12, remove the plastic bag with pressed garbage from it, place a new bag and install the container 12 back into the housing 1. In the case when the waste container 12 is not was put into the housing 1, the sensor 18 of the presence of the mentioned capacity 12 is activated, the ballot box stops working, and the light diodes indicate the absence of the capacity 12.

Thus, the use of the urn ensures the safety and reliability of the urn, the necessary sanitary condition of the urn and the place of its installation, since the waste is stored in an enclosed space, which excludes access to them from animals and people, the waste is not carried by the wind, and notifications of filling do not allow the bins to overflow, the waste removal process is optimized, since garbage is not removed from half-empty bins, the pressing system installed in the bin allows compacting waste and less often sending the garbage truck to For export, autonomy of the ballot box is ensured, anti-vandal properties of the ballot box are increased, and functional capabilities for operation in modern conditions are expanded.
