Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Müllbehälter mit einem Müllbehälterrumpf, an dessen oberer Kante der Vorderwand eine Einhängeleiste angeformt ist, die einen horizontalen und einen zur Vorderwand des Müllbehälterrumpfes parallelen oder annähernd parallelen Schenkel aufweist, eine nach unten offene Aufnahmehöhlung begrenzt und in der ein mit einem Datenträger in Form eines Chips bestückbarer Chiphalter angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a garbage container with a garbage container hull, on the upper edge of the front wall, a hanging bar is formed, which has a horizontal and a parallel to the front wall of the garbage container hull leg, limits a downwardly open receiving cavity and in which one with a data carrier in Form of a chip populated chip holder is arranged.

Bei einem aus dem DE 93 02 947 U1 bekannten Müllbehälter wird zum nachträglichen Einsetzen des Chiphalters in den horizontalen Schenkel der Einhängeleiste eine Bohrung eingearbeitet. Der Chiphalter ist als Patrone ausgebildet und weist einen ringförmigen Querschnitt auf. Die Patrone wird von oben in die Bohrung eingesetzt. Die Sicherung erfolgt durch ein angepaßtes Klemmstück, welches von unten her auf die Patrone gesteckt wird.In a garbage container known from DE 93 02 947 U1, a hole is machined into the horizontal leg of the hanging bar for the subsequent insertion of the chip holder. The chip holder is designed as a cartridge and has an annular cross section. The cartridge is inserted into the hole from above. It is secured by an adapted clamping piece, which is placed on the cartridge from below.

Nachteilig ist bei dieser Ausführung, daß der Chiphalter zweiteilig ist, d. h. er besteht aus der Patrone und dem Klemmstück. Es sind deshalb zwei Werkzeuge erforderlich. Dementsprechend ist auch das Einsetzen des Chiphalters entsprechend aufwendig. Besonders nachteilig ist jedoch, daß die Bohrung in dem horizontalen Schenke liegt, wodurch kein ausreichender Schutz entsteht, wenn beispielsweise beim Entleeren des Müllbehälters die in die Aufnahmehöhlung eingefahrene Kammleiste der Schütteinrichtung eine Druckkraft ausübt. Außerdem entsteht eine Fuge, durch die Feuchtigkeit eindringen kann. Es ist außerdem unbedingt notwendig, daß bei der Herstellung der Bohrung auch die darunterliegenden Verstärkungsrippen entfernt werden.The disadvantage of this embodiment is that the chip holder is in two parts, ie it consists of the cartridge and the clamping piece. Two tools are therefore required. Accordingly, the insertion of the chip holder is correspondingly complex. However, it is particularly disadvantageous that the bore lies in the horizontal bar, which does not provide adequate protection if, for example, the comb strip of the pouring device, which is retracted into the receiving cavity, exerts a compressive force when the waste container is emptied. In addition, a joint is created through which moisture can penetrate. It is also essential that the reinforcing ribs underneath are also removed when the bore is made.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Müllbehälter der eingangs näher beschriebenen Art so auszubilden, daß auch nachträglich mit einem Chip ausgerüstete Müllbehälter so gestaltet sind, daß der Chip optimal geschützt in der Aufnahmehöhlung liegt, und daß das Einsetzen des Chiphalters in einfachster Weise möglich ist.The invention has for its object to design a garbage container of the type described in the introduction in such a way that garbage containers equipped subsequently with a chip are designed in such a way that the chip is optimally protected in the receiving cavity, and that the chip holder can be inserted in the simplest possible way .

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird gelöst, indem der Chiphalter einen Profilkörper beinhaltet, der benachbart unter dem horizontalen Schenkel schließend in eine Einstecköffnung des zur Vorderwand parallelen oder annähernd parallelen Schenkels der Einhängeleiste eingesetzt ist und an dem wenigstens ein Schnappelement angeformt ist, dessen freies Ende den die Einstecköffnung begrenzenden Rand innenseitig hintergreift.The object is achieved in that the chip holder contains a profile body, which is inserted adjacent to the horizontal leg, closing into an insertion opening of the leg of the hanging strip parallel or approximately parallel to the front wall, and on which at least one snap element is formed, the free end of which corresponds to the insertion opening delimiting border on the inside.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung wird ein Chiphalter geschaffen, der als einstückiges Formteil ausgebildet ist und ohne weitere Befestigungselemente, wie Niete, Schrauben oder dergleichen in der Aufnahmehöhlung festsetzbar ist. Zum Nachrüsten ist es nur erforderlich, daß in den parallel oder annähernd parallel zur Vorderwand stehenden Schenkel der Aufnahmeleiste die Öffnung, beispielsweise mittels einer Schablone, eingebracht wird. Die Lage der Einstecköffnung ist von der Ausführung der Hubkippvorrichtung des Müllsammelfahrzeugs abhängig. Für den eingesetzten Chip bietet der vom Behälterrumpf abragende horizontale Schenkel einen äußerst sicheren Schutz. Selbst wenn man unterstellt, daß sich der Chiphalter ein klein wenig bewegt, bietet dieser horizontale Schenkel beim Entleeren des Müllbehälters ein Widerlager, so daß zum Erfassen der Daten stets die gleiche Position eingenommen wird. Da die Einhängeleiste oft durch innenseitige Verstärkungsrippen verstärkt ist, könnte die Einstecköffnung auch so gelegt werden, daß sich der Chip an die unteren Kanten der Rippen beim Entleeren abstützt.The solution according to the invention creates a chip holder which is designed as a one-piece molded part and can be fixed in the receiving cavity without further fastening elements, such as rivets, screws or the like. For retrofitting, it is only necessary that the opening, for example by means of a template, is made in the leg of the mounting strip which is parallel or approximately parallel to the front wall. The position of the insertion opening depends on the design of the lifting and tipping device of the refuse collection vehicle. The horizontal leg protruding from the container body provides extremely secure protection for the chip used. Even if one assumes that the chip holder moves a little, this horizontal leg offers an abutment when emptying the waste container, so that the same position is always taken to collect the data. Since the hanging bar is often reinforced by reinforcing ribs on the inside, the insertion opening could also be placed in such a way that the chip is supported on the lower edges of the ribs when emptying.

Das Nachrüsten eines Müllbehälters ist äußerst einfach durchzuführen, da der Chip je nach Ausführung von oben her in die Aufnahme des Chiphalters eingesteckt werden kann und dann diese Einheit in die Einstecköffnung eingeführt wird. Durch das Schnappelement bzw. durch die Schnappelemente wird der Chiphalter gegen ein Herausziehen aus der Einstecköffnung gesichert. Beim Einführen des Chiphalters in die Aufnahmehöhlung durch die Einstecköffnung hindurch verformt sich das Schnappelement so, daß er durch die Einstecköffnung hindurch geschoben werden kann. Sobald der Chiphalter seine endgültige Position erreicht hat, liegt er in der Aufnahmehöhlung, so daß der die Einstecköffnung begrenzende Rand von innen her hintergriffen wird. Zweckmäßigerweise ist jedes Schnappelement ein Federsteg.Retrofitting a refuse container is extremely easy to carry out, since, depending on the version, the chip can be inserted into the receptacle of the chip holder from above and then this unit is inserted into the insertion opening. The chip element is secured against being pulled out of the insertion opening by the snap element or the snap elements. When the chip holder is inserted into the receiving cavity through the insertion opening, the snap element deforms so that it can be pushed through the insertion opening. As soon as the chip holder has reached its final position, it lies in the receiving cavity, so that the edge delimiting the insertion opening is gripped from the inside. Each snap element is expediently a spring bar.

Zur Abdeckung der Fuge ist in weiterer Ausgestaltung vorgesehen, daß der Profilkörper einen Abdeckflansch aufweist, der außenseitig an dem die Einstecköffnung begrenzenden Rand anliegt. Dieser Abdeckflansch ist gleichzeitig ein Anschlag, der die Einschubbewegung des Chiphalters begrenzt.To cover the joint, it is provided in a further embodiment that the profile body has a cover flange which lies on the outside against the edge delimiting the insertion opening. This cover flange is also a stop that limits the insertion movement of the chip holder.

Der Chip kann so ausgelegt sein, daß er vor dem Einführen des Chiphalters in die Aufnahmehöhlung in einen Aufnahmetopf eingesteckt werden kann. Es ist jedoch zur kostengünstigen, vereinfachten Ausführung auch möglich, daß die Funktionsteile des Chips direkt in den Chiphalter eingebracht, beispielsweise eingegossen sind, so daß das Gehäuse des Chips durch die angrenzenden Teile des Chiphalters gebildet ist.The chip can be designed such that it can be inserted into a receiving pot before the chip holder is inserted into the receiving cavity. However, for the cost-effective, simplified embodiment, it is also possible for the functional parts of the chip to be introduced directly into the chip holder, for example cast in, so that the housing of the chip is formed by the adjacent parts of the chip holder.

Der als Ganzes nicht dargestellte Müllbehälter ist im Kunststoffspritzgußverfahren hergestellt. An die den Deckelscharnieren gegenüberliegenden Vorderwand 10 ist eine im Querschnitt winkelförmige Einhängeleiste 11 angeformt, die aus einem rechtwinklig zur Vorderwand 10 stehenden und an diesen angeformten horizontalen Schenkel 12 und einem vertikalen Schenkel 13 besteht. Damit die Greifschiene einer Hubkippvorrichtung in die von der Einhängeleiste 11 und der Vorderwand 10 begrenzte Aufnahmehöhlung 14 einfahren kann, ist der freie Endbereich des vertikalen Schenkels 13 nach außen abgewinkelt. In den vertikalen Schenkel 13 ist in dem zur Vorderwand 10 parallel stehenden Bereich eine rechteckförmige Einstecköffnung 15 eingebraucht, wobei die Breite wesentlich größer sein kann als die Höhe. In diese Einstecköffnung ist ein als einstückiges Kunststoffformteil ausgebildeter Chiphalter 16 eingeführt. Der Chiphalter 16 besteht aus einem im Querschnitt kreisringförmigen Aufnahmetopf 17 und einem Profilkörper 18, dessen Außenkontur der Innenkontor der Einstecköffnung 15 entspricht, so daß der Chiphalter 16 schließend in die Einstecköffnung 15 eingeführt ist. An der dem Aufnahmetopf 17 gegenüberliegenden Seite ist der Profilkörper 18 mit enem Abdeckflansch 19 versehen, der außenseitig an den die Einstecköffnung 15 begrenzenden Rand anliegt. Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen deutlich, daß ein in den Chiphalter 16 eingesetzter Chip in der Aufnahmehöhlung 14 liegt, so daß von einem Lesegerät der Hubkippvorrichtung die notwendigen Daten erfaßt werden können. Der Aufnahmetopf 17 ist an der oberen, dem horizontalen Schenkel 12 zugewandten Seite offen, so daß vor dem Einsetzen des Chiphalters 16 der Chip in den Aufnahmetopf 17 gesteckt werden kann. Der Chip kann in beliebiger Weise im Aufnahmetopf 17 festgesetzt werden. So ist es beispielsweise denkbar, daß der Boden des Aufnahmetopf es 17 mit einer Bohrung 20 versehen ist, die kleiner ist als der Innendurchmesser des Aufnahmetopfes 17, so daß eine ringförmige Stützfläche 21 für den Chip entsteht. In nicht dargestellter Weise ist es jedoch auch möglich, daß die Funktionsteile des Chip mit in den Chiphalter 16 eingegossen oder eingespritzt werden, wodurch die Herstellkosten gesenkt werden. Die Wandung des Chip wird dann durch die angrenzenden Teile des Chiphalters 16 gebildet. Zur Sicherung des Chiphalters 16 sind an dem Aufnahmetopf 17 an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten Federstege 22, 23 angeformt, die als Schnappelemente wirken. Beim Einführen des Chiphalters in die Einstecköffnung 15 werden sie aufeinander zubewegt. Sobald der Chiphalter 16 seine Endstellung erreicht hat, springen sie durch die aufgebauten Rückstellkräfte nach außen, so daß die freien Stirnenden den die Einstecköffnung 15 begrenzenden Rand von innen hintergreifen. Die Figur 2 zeigt, daß eine Demontage des Chiphalters 16 nur möglich ist, wenn die Federstege 22, 23 mit einem geeigneten Werkzeug von unten her wieder zusammengedrückt werden. Der Außendurchmesser des Aufnahmetopfes 17 könnte beispielsweise 35 mm betragen. Demzufolge müßte auch die Breite der Einstecköffnung 15 im Bereich von 35 mm liegen. Die Höhe des Aufnahmetopfes 17 und die Höhe der Einstecköffnung 15 könnte beispielsweise 10 mm betragen.The garbage container, not shown as a whole, is manufactured by plastic injection molding. On the front wall 10 opposite the lid hinges is a Shaped cross-section angular suspension strip 11, which consists of a horizontal leg 12 standing at right angles to the front wall 10 and molded thereon and a vertical leg 13. The free end region of the vertical leg 13 is angled outwards so that the gripping rail of a lifting and tipping device can move into the receiving cavity 14 delimited by the hanging bar 11 and the front wall 10. A rectangular insertion opening 15 is used in the vertical leg 13 in the area parallel to the front wall 10, it being possible for the width to be substantially greater than the height. A chip holder 16 designed as a one-piece molded plastic part is inserted into this insertion opening. The chip holder 16 consists of a circularly circular receiving pot 17 and a profile body 18, the outer contour of which corresponds to the inner contour of the insertion opening 15, so that the chip holder 16 is inserted into the insertion opening 15 in a closing manner. On the side opposite the receptacle 17, the profile body 18 is provided with a cover flange 19 which bears on the outside against the edge delimiting the insertion opening 15. Figures 1 and 2 clearly show that a chip inserted into the chip holder 16 lies in the receiving cavity 14, so that the necessary data can be detected by a reader of the lifting and tipping device. The receptacle 17 is open on the upper side facing the horizontal leg 12, so that the chip can be inserted into the receptacle 17 before the chip holder 16 is inserted. The chip can be fixed in the receiving pot 17 in any manner. For example, it is conceivable that the bottom of the receiving pot 17 is provided with a bore 20 which is smaller than the inside diameter of the receiving pot 17, so that an annular support surface 21 is created for the chip. In a manner not shown, however, it is also possible for the functional parts of the chip to be included in the chip holder 16 can be cast or injected, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. The wall of the chip is then formed by the adjacent parts of the chip holder 16. To secure the chip holder 16, spring bars 22, 23, which act as snap elements, are formed on the receiving pot 17 on two opposite sides. When the chip holder is inserted into the insertion opening 15, they are moved towards one another. As soon as the chip holder 16 has reached its end position, they jump outwards due to the built-up restoring forces, so that the free ends engage behind the edge delimiting the insertion opening 15 from the inside. FIG. 2 shows that disassembly of the chip holder 16 is only possible if the spring bars 22, 23 are pressed together again from below with a suitable tool. The outside diameter of the receptacle 17 could be 35 mm, for example. Accordingly, the width of the insertion opening 15 should also be in the range of 35 mm. The height of the receptacle 17 and the height of the insertion opening 15 could be 10 mm, for example.

Sofern an dem horizontalen Schenkel 12 innenseitig Verstärkungsrippen angeformt sind, könnte die Einstecköffnung so gelegt werden, daß sich der Chiphalter an den freien Kanten der Verstärkungsrippen abstützen kann. Durch die Abstützung des Chiphalters 16 an den freien Enden der Verstärkungsrippen oder an der Unterseite des horizontalen Schenkels werden beim Entleeren keine Biegekräfte aufgebaut. Bei der dargestellten Ausführung werden beim Herstellen der Einstecköffnung 15 die dahinterliegenden Rippen entfernt. In der Figur 1 sind die unteren Kanten der Rippen durch das Bezugszeichen 24 gekennzeichnet.If reinforcing ribs are formed on the inside of the horizontal leg 12, the insertion opening could be placed in such a way that the chip holder can be supported on the free edges of the reinforcing ribs. By supporting the chip holder 16 on the free ends of the reinforcing ribs or on the underside of the horizontal leg, no bending forces are built up during emptying. In the embodiment shown, the ribs lying behind are removed when the insertion opening 15 is produced. In FIG. 1, the lower edges of the ribs are identified by reference number 24.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Müllbehälter wird der horizontale Schenkel nicht geschwächt, da ein Ausschnitt entfällt. Dies ist für die Belastbarkeit günstig, da beim Entleeren des Müllbehälters die Kraft über den horizontalen Schenkel 12 auf die Schiene der Hubkippvorrichtung übertragen wird. Da der Chiphalter ein einstückiges Formteil ist, ist die Montage besonders einfach. Ferner ist sichergestellt, daß keine Teile verloren gehen. Bei den bereits benutzten Müllbehältern könnte mit dem Chiphalter eine geeignete Schablone geliefert werden, damit die Einstecköffnung auch an der richtigten Stelle angebracht wird. Desweiteren kann auch im Chiphalter 16 in der Öffnung 17 das Innenleben des Chips direkt eingebracht werden und beispielsweise anschließend vergossen werden. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Aufnahmetopf 17 des Chiphalters 16 im Querschnitt kreisringförmig. Er kann jedoch auch einen von der Kreisform abweichenden Querschnitt haben.In the refuse container according to the invention, the horizontal leg is not weakened because a cutout is omitted. This is favorable for the resilience, because when emptying the Garbage container the force is transmitted via the horizontal leg 12 to the rail of the lifting and tipping device. Since the chip holder is a one-piece molded part, assembly is particularly simple. It also ensures that no parts are lost. For the waste containers already used, a suitable template could be supplied with the chip holder so that the insertion opening is also made at the correct location. Furthermore, the interior of the chip can also be introduced directly into the chip holder 16 in the opening 17 and, for example, subsequently cast. In the illustrated embodiment, the receptacle 17 of the chip holder 16 is circular in cross section. However, it can also have a cross-section deviating from the circular shape.

Der in die Aufnahmehölung 14 eingesetzte Chiphalter 16 gemäß den Figuren 5 bis 7 weist einen Aufnahmetopf 17 auf, der ringförmig ausgebildet ist. Die beiden Stirnflächen sind offen. Aus Gründen der vereinfachten Darstellung sind in den Figuren 6 und 7 lediglich die Chiphalter 16 dargestellt.Die Innenfläche dieses Chiphalters 16 ist mit einer inneren Profilierung 25 versehen, die bei der Ausführung gemäß der Figur 5 ein Innengewinde 26 ist. Der in den Aufnahmetopf 17 eingesetzte Chip braucht dann ein entsprechendes Außengewinde, damit er in den Aufnahmetopf 17 eingedreht werden kann. Damit er nicht herausgedreht werden kann, können zusätzliche Sicherungsmittel vorgesehen werden. Bei den Ausführungen nach den Figuren 6 und 7 ist die Profilierung 25 durch jeweils eine umlaufende Wulst 27 gebildet. Bei der gezeichneten Ausführung steht die Wulst 27 gegenüber der Innenfläche des Aufnahmetopfes 17 vor. Der eingesetzte Chip müßte dann eine entsprechend gestaltete Nut haben, so daß der Chip verrastet oder verhakt wird. Bei der Ausführung nach der Figur 6 ist die Wulst 27 dreieckförmig bzw. keilförmig gestaltet, während bei der Ausführung nach der Figur 7 die Wulst 27 ein Halbkreis ist. Im Gegensatz zu der dargestellten Ausführung ist es auch denkbar, daß in der Umkehrung die Wulst am Chip angeformt wird und der Aufnahmetopf 17 eine entsprechende Nut hat. Die Wulst 27 kann umlaufend sein oder auch sich über vorgegebene Winkelbereiche erstrecken. Da der Chiphalter 16 ein Kunststoffteil ist, erfolgt eine form- und/oder kraftschlüssige Festlegung.The chip holder 16 inserted into the receiving cavity 14 according to FIGS. 5 to 7 has a receiving pot 17 which is designed in a ring shape. The two end faces are open. For reasons of the simplified representation, only the chip holder 16 is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The inner surface of this chip holder 16 is provided with an inner profile 25, which in the embodiment according to FIG. 5 is an internal thread 26. The chip inserted into the receptacle 17 then needs a corresponding external thread so that it can be screwed into the receptacle 17. Additional securing means can be provided so that it cannot be unscrewed. In the embodiments according to FIGS. 6 and 7, the profiling 25 is formed by a circumferential bead 27 in each case. In the embodiment shown, the bead 27 protrudes from the inner surface of the receptacle 17. The chip used should then have an appropriately designed groove, so that the chip is locked or hooked. At 6, the bead 27 is triangular or wedge-shaped, while in the embodiment according to FIG. 7, the bead 27 is a semicircle. In contrast to the embodiment shown, it is also conceivable that the bulge is integrally formed on the chip and the receptacle 17 has a corresponding groove. The bead 27 can be circumferential or can also extend over predetermined angular ranges. Since the chip holder 16 is a plastic part, a positive and / or non-positive fixing takes place.

In der Fig. 5a ist ein Chiphalter 16 mit gegenüber den vorhergehenden Ausführungen geringerer Höhe dargestellt. Die Ausfräsung in der Aufnahmehöhlung 14 ist jedoch größer als die Außenabmessungen des Chiphalters 16. Dadurch entsteht ein Spalt 28. Dadurch läßt sich der Chiphalter 16 leichter einführen, da eventuell vorhandene Fertigungstoleranzen ausgeglichen werden.5a shows a chip holder 16 with a lower height than the previous embodiments. The milling in the receiving cavity 14 is, however, larger than the outer dimensions of the chip holder 16. This creates a gap 28. This makes the chip holder 16 easier to insert, since any existing manufacturing tolerances are compensated for.

Claims (9)

  1. A refuse container comprising a refuse container body, on the upper edge of the front wall (10) of which is formed a suspension bar (11) which has a horizontal limb (12) and a limb (13) parallel or approximately parallel to the front wall (10) of the refuse container body, which defines a downwardly open receiving cavity (14) and in which a chip holder (16) which can be fitted with a data carrier in the form of a chip is arranged, characterised in that the chip holder (16) includes a shaped body (18) which is fitted in an adjacent position below the horizontal limb (12) in closing relationship into an insertion opening (15) in the limb (13), that is parallel or approximately parallel to the front wall (10), of the suspension bar (11), and on which is formed at least one snap-engagement element (22, 23) whose free end engages at the inside behind the edge (13) defining the insertion opening (15).
  2. A refuse container according to claim 1 characterised in that each snap-engagement element is in the form of a spring leg (22, 23).
  3. A refuse container according to claim 1 characterised in that the shaped body (18) has a cover flange (19) which on the outside bears against the edge defining the insertion opening (15).
  4. A refuse container according to claim 1 characterised in that the insertion opening (15) is in the form of a slot, angular or round.
  5. A refuse container according to one or more of the preceding claims characterised in that the chip holder (16) is in the form of a one-piece shaped plastics portion and is formed from a receiving pot (17) and the shaped body (18) and that spring legs (22, 23) are formed on two mutually oppositely disposed sides of the receiving pot (17).
  6. A refuse container according to one or more of preceding claims 1 to 5 characterised in that the functional parts of the chip are fitted directly into and for example cast in the chip holder (16) so that the casing of the chip is formed by the adjoining parts of the chip holder (16).
  7. A refuse container according to claim 1 characterised in that the receiving pot (17) of the chip holder (16) is designed in the manner of a ring with end faces open at both sides, and that the inside surface has a profiling (25) which fixes the inserted chip in positively locking and/or force-locking engagement.
  8. A refuse container according to claim 7 characterised in that the profiling (25) is a female screwthread (26).
  9. A refuse container according to claim 7 characterised in that the profile (25) is at least in the form of a head (27) which extends around the periphery or which extends over predetermined angular regions and which engage into a corresponding groove in the wall of the inserted chip.
