Description

L'invention se rapporte au domaine des unités de réception de déchets à stockage souterrain.The invention relates to the field of underground storage waste reception units.

On connait déjà de telles unités. Au brevet EP-A-252437, est ainsi décrite une unité de ce type comprenant :

  • au moins une fosse ménagée dans le sol,
  • une cuve propre à être placée dans la fosse,
  • une colonne creuse se dressant au-dessus de la fosse considérée lorsque la cuve y est placée, pour la réception des déchets et leur guidage vers l'intérieur de la cuve avec laquelle ladite colonne communique.
We already know such units. In patent EP-A-252437, a unit of this type is thus described comprising:
  • at least one pit in the ground,
  • a tank suitable for being placed in the pit,
  • a hollow column rising above the pit considered when the tank is placed there, for receiving the waste and guiding it towards the interior of the tank with which said column communicates.

En outre, des moyens de manutention de la cuve sont préférables pour la soulever de la fosse, la manoeuvrer en dehors ou l'y descendre.In addition, means of handling the tank are preferable for lifting it from the pit, maneuvering it outside or lowering it there.

Or, des problèmes apparaissent dès lors que la cuve doit être sortie de la fosse, ces problèmes étant liés aux risques que peut présenter une cuve en l'air au bout du câble de grue (moyen habituellement utilisé pour manoeuvrer les cuves de surface aujourd'hui courantes), des risques corollaires apparaissant bien entendu au regard des personnes pouvant se trouver aux abords de cette zone, cela d'autant que la manutention de ces cuves est soumise aux impératifs liés au matériel de manutention (grue) utilisé, ainsi qu'à l'environnement dans lequel ces manoeuvres sont effectuées. De surcroît, on comprend aisément que les risques d'endommagement, blessures ou autres qui existent déjà pour les cuves "de surface" ne peuvent être qu'amplifiés dès lors qu'il faut placer relativement étroitement la cuve dans une fosse.However, problems arise when the tank must be taken out of the pit, these problems being linked to the risks that a tank can present in the air at the end of the crane cable (means usually used to maneuver surface tanks today). common), corollary risks appearing of course with regard to people who may be around this area, especially as the handling of these tanks is subject to the requirements related to the handling equipment (crane) used, as well as to the environment in which these maneuvers are carried out. Furthermore, it is easily understood that the risks of damage, injury or the like which already exist for "surface" tanks can only be amplified when it is necessary to place the tank relatively tightly in a pit.

C'est dans ces conditions et pour répondre notamment aux problèmes évoqués ci-dessus, que l'invention propose de perfectionner les actuelles unités de stockage souterrain, en y adjoignant des moyens mobiles escamotables de protection mécanique de la cuve, de sa colonne et/ou des abords de l'unité concernée, lors de la manutention des cuves, ces moyens escamotables étant associés à des moyens de manoeuvre pour :

  • s'escamoter en position non active, en laissant passage aux cuves lorsque celles-ci sont manoeuvrées dans leur fosse,
  • et se présenter en position active de protection sensiblement au niveau du sol ou au-dessus de lui, au moins lorsque lesdites cuves sont soulevées hors de leurs fosses.
It is under these conditions and in order to respond in particular to the problems mentioned above, that the invention proposes to improve the current underground storage units, by adding mobile retractable means for mechanical protection of the tank, its column and / or around the unit concerned, during the handling of the tanks, these retractable means being associated with means maneuver for:
  • retract into the non-active position, leaving passage to the tanks when they are maneuvered in their pit,
  • and present themselves in an active protective position substantially at ground level or above it, at least when said tanks are lifted out of their pits.

De cette manière, on assurera une protection en quelque sorte "sélective" de l'unité, des abords de celle-ci, ainsi que de toute personne pouvant se trouver à proximité, en évitant notamment les chutes dans la fosse ou qu'une cuve en l'air vienne endommager, par exemple lors de sa descente, la colonne d'une cuve adjacente en position dans sa fosse, ceci tout en favorisant en outre le guidage des cuves au moins jusqu'à une certaine hauteur.In this way, we will ensure a sort of "selective" protection of the unit, the surroundings thereof, as well as of any person who may be nearby, in particular avoiding falls in the pit or a tank in the air comes to damage, for example during its descent, the column of an adjacent tank in position in its pit, this while further promoting the guidance of the tanks at least to a certain height.

Selon une caractéristique préférée, les moyens de protection escamotables proposés dans l'invention seront propres à pénétrer dans la fosse concernée, avec la cuve, et seront alors fonctionnellement associés (ceci sous la commande de leurs dits moyens de manoeuvre) pour descendre dans la fosse lorsque la cuve y est descendue et pour remonter en surface lorsque celle-ci est remontée.According to a preferred characteristic, the retractable protection means proposed in the invention will be able to penetrate into the pit concerned, with the tank, and will then be functionally associated (this under the control of their said maneuvering means) to descend into the pit when the tank is lowered and to rise to the surface when it is raised.

Tout particulièrement lorsque l'unité comprendra plusieurs cuves disposées les unes à proximité des autres, de telle sorte que les colonnes soient regroupées, par exemple dans une zone centrale de l'unité, alors que les cuves sont placées dans leur fosse, les moyens précités de protection escamotables pourront en particulier comporter du côté de la zone de regroupement des colonnes, au moins une paroi de coin en cornière, dressée en forme par exemple sensiblement de triangle, assurant ainsi, outre une protection, un moyen de positionnement de la cuve par rapport à l'axe de la fosse, moyen jugé efficace puisque placé dans au moins un angle, la forme triangulaire favorisant en outre un guidage progressif.Especially when the unit will include several tanks arranged close to each other, so that the columns are grouped, for example in a central area of the unit, while the tanks are placed in their pit, the aforementioned means retractable protection may in particular comprise on the side of the grouping area of the columns, at least one corner wall in an angle, erected in the form for example substantially of a triangle, thus ensuring, in addition to protection, a means of positioning the tank by relation to the axis of the pit, means considered effective since placed in at least one angle, the triangular shape further promoting guidance progressive.

Selon deux modes de réalisation envisagés, les moyens de protection escamotables de l'invention pourront comprendre, pour chaque cuve, un garde-fou dressé au-dessus du sol lorsque la cuve est soulevée hors de sa fosse, et escamoté dans cette fosse, ou à proximité, lorsque la cuve y est manoeuvrée. En complément, ou en substitution, il a également été envisagé que lesdits moyens de protection comprennent une plaque formant en quelque sorte couvercle de fosse lorsque la cuve est soulevée hors de celle-ci, ladite plaque (qui pourrait être éventuellement en plusieurs parties) s'étendant en travers de la fosse, dont elle obture l'accès, lorsque la cuve est ainsi soulevée.According to two embodiments envisaged, the retractable protection means of the invention may comprise, for each tank, a railing raised above the ground when the tank is lifted out of its pit, and retracted into this pit, or nearby, when the tank is operated there. In addition to, or in substitution for, it has also been envisaged that said protection means comprise a plate forming a sort of pit cover when the tank is lifted out of it, said plate (which could possibly be in several parts) s extending across the pit, to which it closes access, when the tank is thus lifted.

  • et la figure 6 est une autre variante de réalisation dans laquelle on a adjoint aux moyens escamotables, des murets fixes disposés comme un croisillon entre les fosses.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear from the appended drawings given solely by way of example and in which:
  • FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of an underground storage unit according to the invention comprising in this case four pits or a four-part pit for four tanks,
  • FIG. 2 is a view comparable to that of FIG. 1, showing one of the raised tanks with, beneath it, a protective railing in the active position, erected,

  • and FIG. 6 is another alternative embodiment in which the means have been added retractable, fixed walls arranged like a cross between the pits.

Sur la figure 1 tout d'abord, on voit illustrée schématiquement, et repérée dans son ensemble 1, une unité de réception de déchets (papiers, métaux, plastique, ...) à stockage souterrain implantée à l'endroit d'une zone de terrain 2.In FIG. 1 first of all, we see schematically illustrated, and identified as a whole 1, a waste reception unit (paper, metal, plastic, ...) with underground storage located at the location of an area of land 2.

L'unité 1 comporte en l'espèce quatre sous-ensembles constitués chacun par une cuve 4 (apparaissant plus clairement sur les figures 2 et 4) vidable par son fond à trappe 5 ouvrante, ici articulée en rotation à l'endroit de charnières 7. Chaque cuve est propre à être logée dans une fosse 6 creusée dans le sol, chaque cuve étant individuellement associée à une colonne de collecte 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d dressée au-dessus du sol lorsque la cuve est disposée à l'intérieur de sa fosse, les colonnes étant ici réunies vers la partie centrale 9 de l'unité .Unit 1 in this case comprises four sub-assemblies each consisting of a tank 4 (appearing more clearly in FIGS. 2 and 4) emptying by its opening hatch bottom 5, here articulated in rotation at the place of hinges 7 Each tank is suitable for being housed in a pit 6 dug into the ground, each tank being individually associated with a collection column 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d erected above the ground when the tank is placed inside its pit, the columns being here joined towards the central part 9 of the unit.

En l'espèce, chaque colonne 8a, ... 8d est reliée fixement, en décalé, (par exemple par vissage) à la cuve 4 correspondante, à l'endroit d'un pied élargi 10 surmontant une paroi transversale supérieure 4a de la cuve (voir figure 4) s'étendant, en position normale sensiblement verticale de la cuve, dans un plan essentiellement horizontal. La paroi supérieure 4a sera très avantageusement telle qu'elle puisse supporter le poids non seulement des passants mais également de véhicules, sans que ceux-ci endommagent la partie sous-jacente de la cuve, cette paroi 4a pouvant se prolonger périphériquement par un épaulement ou un rebord d'appui 4a' adapté pour venir porter sur le bord extérieur 11 de la fosse (figure 4).In this case, each column 8a, ... 8d is fixedly connected, offset, (for example by screwing) to the corresponding tank 4, at the location of an enlarged foot 10 surmounting an upper transverse wall 4a of the tank (see Figure 4) extending, in the normal substantially vertical position of the tank, in an essentially horizontal plane. The upper wall 4a will very advantageously be such that it can support the weight not only of passers-by but also of vehicles, without the latter damaging the underlying part of the tank, this wall 4a being able to be extended peripherally by a shoulder or a support rim 4a ′ adapted to come to bear on the outer edge 11 of the pit (FIG. 4).

Pour le remplissage des cuves, chaque colonne de collecte 8a, ... 8d présente un orifice 14 permettant aux utilisateurs de jeter leurs déchets, cet orifice se raccordant, à l'intérieur de la colonne, à un conduit intérieur 16 communiquant à sa base, et par des orifices appropriés, avec l'intérieur de la cuve associée (voir flèche 18 de la figure 1).For filling the tanks, each collection column 8a,... 8d has an orifice 14 allowing users to throw away their waste, this orifice connecting, inside the column, to an interior conduit 16 communicating at its base. , and through holes appropriate, with the inside of the associated tank (see arrow 18 in Figure 1).

Pour la manoeuvre de la cuve, en montée ou en descente, celle-ci est adaptée pour pouvoir être soulevée au bout d'un câble 20, tel qu'un câble de grue, accroché en partie inférieure à une plaque d'accrochage 22 fixée à la cuve, ici suivant son axe (axe 24 pour la cuve à colonne 8b sur la figure 1).For the operation of the tank, up or down, it is adapted to be able to be lifted at the end of a cable 20, such as a crane cable, hooked at the bottom to a fixed hooking plate 22 to the tank, here along its axis (axis 24 for the column tank 8b in Figure 1).

Tout particulièrement sur les figures 2 et 5, on remarquera que, pour assurer la sécurité dans l'environnement de l'unité 1, et également pour favoriser la protection notamment des colonnes ainsi que des cuves elles-mêmes, des moyens de protection mécanique escamotables pouvant être favorables au guidage des cuves, et repérés respectivement dans leur ensemble 26 ou 26' (figures 2 et 4) et 28 (figure 5), ont été adjoints.In particular in FIGS. 2 and 5, it will be noted that, to ensure safety in the environment of the unit 1, and also to promote the protection in particular of the columns as well as of the tanks themselves, retractable mechanical protection means which may be favorable to guiding the tanks, and identified respectively as a whole 26 or 26 '(Figures 2 and 4) and 28 (Figure 5), have been added.

Sur les figures 2 et 3, le moyen escamotable en question consiste en un garde-fou se présentant comme une cage à barreaux 29 dressée à partir d'un socle 30 formant une sorte de collerette extérieure horizontale, l'intérieur de la structure 26 étant bien entendu creux pour laisser le passage à la cuve 4. Compte tenu de la section rectangulaire ici retenue des fosses, la barrière 29 est de même section. On remarquera en outre, en comparant les figures 1, 2 et 3, que sa hauteur s'élève à mesure qu'on s'approche de l'angle intérieur 31 le plus proche de la zone centrale 9 de l'unité qu'entourent les bornes creuses 8a, ... 8d. En l'espèce, cette élévation locale de parois est telle que les deux parois concernées 29a, 29b de la barrière, contiguës à l'angle 31, se terminent en partie supérieure par une forme surélevée, éventuellement inclinée et en l'espèce triangulaire,culminant dans l'angle, favorisant le positionnement de la cuve pour la présenter au mieux en regard de la fosse, tout en protégeant sur pratiquement l'essentiel de leur hauteur les colonnes alentour.In FIGS. 2 and 3, the retractable means in question consists of a railing in the form of a cage with bars 29 erected from a base 30 forming a sort of horizontal external flange, the interior of the structure 26 being of course hollow to allow passage to the tank 4. Taking into account the rectangular section here retained from the pits, the barrier 29 is of the same section. It will also be noted, by comparing FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, that its height rises as one approaches the interior angle 31 closest to the central zone 9 of the unit which surrounds the hollow terminals 8a, ... 8d. In this case, this local elevation of walls is such that the two walls concerned 29a, 29b of the barrier, contiguous to the angle 31, terminate in the upper part by a raised shape, possibly inclined and in this case triangular, culminating in the corner, favoring the positioning of the tank to present it as well as possible facing the pit, while protecting the surrounding columns over practically most of their height.

Pour réaliser l'escamotage du garde-fou, on aurait bien entendu pu imaginer de dissocier dans leurs angles chacune des quatres parois dressées 29, en les articulant en outre à leur base via des charnières portées également par le socle 30, lequel pourrait alors occuper une position fixe sur le sol, au droit des fosses, chaque paroi du garde-fou pouvant être ainsi couchée (par exemple hors de la fosse) ou redressée, en prévenant notamment toute chute dans la fosse considérée, dès que besoin est.To achieve the retraction of the railing, it could of course have been imagined to dissociate in their angles each of the four erected walls 29, by also articulating them at their base via hinges also carried by the base 30, which could then occupy a fixed position on the ground, in line with the pits, each wall of the railing can thus be laid down (for example outside the pit) or straightened, in particular preventing any fall into the pit considered, as soon as necessary.

Un autre principe d'escamotage a toutefois été retenu sur la figure 4, pour le garde-fou représenté .Another retraction principle has however been retained in FIG. 4, for the railing shown.

Dans ce cas, le garde-fou 26' qui est en l'espèce constitué par une simple cage à quatre parois verticales, sans socle, est monté glissant à l'intérieur de la fosse, le long des murs 6a qui la définissent latéralement, un espace suffisant e devant être réservé entre le garde-fou et la cuve pour autoriser le passage de cette dernière à travers la cage.In this case, the railing 26 ′ which is in this case constituted by a simple cage with four vertical walls, without base, is mounted sliding inside the pit, along the walls 6a which define it laterally, e sufficient space to be reserved between the railing and the tank to allow the passage of the latter through the cage.

Pour la manoeuvre de montée ou de descente, sensiblement suivant l'axe vertical 24a de la fosse considérée, la cage 26' est associée à des moyens de manoeuvre repérés dans leur ensemble 32. Ces moyens 32 à poulie 33 consistent ici en deux unités de commande, opposées, comprenant chacune un câble 34 fixé, d'un côté, en partie inférieure du garde-fou, en 36a, et de l'autre, à l'extérieur de la paroi 6a, à un contrepoids 38 pouvant coulisser dans un espace adapté.For the raising or lowering maneuver, substantially along the vertical axis 24a of the pit in question, the cage 26 ′ is associated with maneuvering means identified as a whole 32. These pulley means 32 consist here of two units of control, opposite, each comprising a cable 34 fixed, on one side, at the bottom of the railing, at 36a, and on the other, outside the wall 6a, to a counterweight 38 which can slide in a adapted space.

Lorsque la cuve est installée dans sa fosse (à droite sur la figure 4), elle bloque en position basse escamotée la cage 26', en l'espèce par appui sur elle de la paroi supérieure 4a de la cuve (à droite sur la figure), tandis que lorsque cette même cuve est soulevée, la cage 26' est entraînée elle-même en translation vers le haut, de par les deux contrepoids 38 qui descendent en même temps que la cage monte, jusqu'à ce que celle-ci parvienne dans sa position haute dressée (à gauche sur la figure 4), une butée ou tout moyen équivalent arrêtant la cage (ou ses moyens de manoeuvre) lorsque la position haute est atteinte.When the tank is installed in its pit (on the right in FIG. 4), it blocks the cage 26 ′ in the low retracted position, in this case by pressing it on the upper wall 4a of the tank (on the right in the figure ), while when this same tank is raised, the cage 26 'is itself driven in upward translation, by the two counterweights 38 which descend at the same time as the cage rises, until the latter reaches its high upright position (on the left in Figure 4), a stop or any equivalent means stopping the cage (or its operating means) when the high position is reached.

Le même principe de manoeuvre, en montée ou en descente, pourrait être retenu dans le cadre de la variante de réalisation de la figure 5, pour manoeuvrer (en complément ou en substitution du garde-fou) la montée ou la descente dans la fosse d'une plaque, ou plateau, 28 prévu(e) pour pouvoir être placé(e) par ses dits moyens de manoeuvre associés, sensiblement au niveau du sol lorsque sa cuve correspondante est soulevée, tout en pouvant descendre avec la cuve lorsque celle-ci est replacée dans la fosse, en glissant alors le long des parois de cette dernière, sous la cuve.The same principle of maneuver, uphill or downhill, could be retained in the context of the variant embodiment of FIG. 5, to maneuver (in addition to or in substitution for the railing) the ascent or descent into the pit of '' a plate, or tray, 28 provided to be placed by its said associated operating means, substantially at ground level when its corresponding tank is raised, while being able to descend with the tank when the latter is replaced in the pit, then sliding along the walls of the latter, under the tank.

Sur la figure 5, on remarquera que la plaque 28 est donc ici dans sa position haute dans laquelle elle s'étend sensiblement au niveau du sol, en formant une sorte de couvercle au-dessus de la fosse considérée, en évitant qu'une personne puisse ainsi y tomber. En outre, pour favoriser la protection des autres colonnes (en l'espèce 8b, 8c, 8d), la plaque 28 est liée localement, près de sa bordure et en l'espèce à proximité de l'un de ses angles (ici à proximité de son angle "intérieur" 42 le plus proche des colonnes précitées), à une paroi dressée triangulaire 44 pouvant avoir une forme sensiblement de cornière, à la manière de la surélévation d'angle 31 du garde-fou 26. Ainsi, par exemple lors de la présentation de la cuve pour sa descente dans la fosse, l'un des angles de la cuve pourra être positionné dans l'angle intérieur de la cornière 44, la descente du plancher 28 avec son excroissance de guidage associée, en même temps que la cuve, maintenant ce positionnement optimum. Pour favoriser un bon glissement du plateau 28, celui-ci pourra être guidé en translation dans sa fosse par un système classique à crémaillère (roues dentées + chaînes).In FIG. 5, it will be noted that the plate 28 is therefore here in its high position in which it extends substantially at ground level, forming a sort of cover above the pit considered, avoiding that a person may thus fall into it. In addition, to promote the protection of the other columns (in this case 8b, 8c, 8d), the plate 28 is linked locally, near its border and in this case near one of its angles (here at proximity of its "inside" angle 42 closest to the aforementioned columns), to a triangular upright wall 44 which may have a substantially angle-shaped shape, in the manner of the angle elevation 31 of the railing 26. Thus, for example during the presentation of the tank for its descent into the pit, one of the angles of the tank can be positioned in the interior corner of the angle iron 44, the descent of the floor 28 with its associated guide projection, at the same time than the tank, maintaining this optimum positioning. To promote good sliding of the plate 28, it can be guided in translation in its pit by a conventional rack system (toothed wheels + chains).

Sur la figure 6, en substitution ou en complément des éléments de protection escamotables déjà décrits, est illustrée une variante de réalisation de l'unité 1 dans laquelle des murets séparateurs 46 s'élèvent pour séparer deux à deux les fosses. En l'espèce, les murets 46 sont constitués en une croix à quatre branches réunies en partie centrale 9 de l'unité et ayant une hauteur qui s'élève au fur et à mesure que l'on s'approche de cette zone d'intersection, la disposition desdits murets étant bien entendu telle qu'ils n'empêchent en rien la manoeuvre en soulèvement ou en descente de chaque cuve avec sa colonne, la forme en cornière de deux tronçons de murets adjacents constituant une surface de positionnement vis-à-vis de la fosse, pour chacune des cuves.In FIG. 6, in substitution or in in addition to the retractable protective elements already described, an alternative embodiment of the unit 1 is illustrated in which separating walls 46 rise to separate the pits two by two. In this case, the walls 46 consist of a cross with four branches joined in the central part 9 of the unit and having a height which rises as one approaches this area of intersection, the arrangement of said walls being of course such that they in no way prevent the maneuver in lifting or lowering of each tank with its column, the angle form of two sections of adjacent walls constituting a positioning surface vis-à-vis - screw of the pit, for each of the tanks.

Dans le cadre des variantes de réalisation, on pourrait par ailleurs bien entendu imaginer de rendre la commande des moyens de protection escamotables indépendante des déplacements de la cuve. Ainsi, on pourrait par exemple prévoir, avant de sortir une cuve, de commander la montée du garde-fou 26' en position sortie (à gauche sur la figure 4), puis de soulever la cuve, un passage approprié ménagé à travers la paroi 4a pouvant permettre cela, le même principe pouvant être retenu pour la descente.In the context of alternative embodiments, one could of course also imagine making the control of the retractable protection means independent of the movements of the tank. Thus, one could for example provide, before removing a tank, to control the rise of the railing 26 'in the extended position (on the left in FIG. 4), then to lift the tank, an appropriate passage formed through the wall 4a can allow this, the same principle can be retained for the descent.
