Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for underground waste collection, comprising a container which is closed in peripheral direction and can be sunk into the ground and which is provided with at least one bottom part which is movable to provide a discharge opening and with a cover part with an inlet opening.
- Such a device is generally known for collecting domestic refuse tendered in plastic sacks, but also for collecting for instance glass or used clothing.
- the container of the known device is usually placed in a concrete holder which is buried in the ground.
- the device is provided with a lifting eye which is arranged under the cover in the centre thereof and which is accessible via a hatch in the cover, and with operating means for an openable bottom assembled from two parts, which operating means are likewise accessible via said hatch.
- waste is thrown into the container via an opening in a column standing on the cover above the inlet opening, an inlet channel through the column and the inlet opening in the cover.
- the container is emptied in due time using a hoisting device intended for this purpose which is coupled to the lifting eye under the hatch and to the operating means for the bottom, wherein the container is successively lifted out of the concrete holder and placed above the loading platform of a truck and the bottom is opened by activating the operating means.
- the drawback associated with the known waste collection device is that the position of the lifting eye and the operating means for the openable bottom above the centre of the container renders impossible the provision of an inlet opening in the cover above the centre of the container.
- the column with the inlet channel debouching above the inlet opening stands on the edge of the cover, as a result of which waste deposited in the container accumulates outside the centre of the container, which can cause the container to hang askew when it is hoisted out of the concrete holder and which in any case results in a relatively low degree of filling of the container.
- the object of the invention is to provide a waste collection device which can be sunk, wherein the volume of the container can be optimally utilized, so that the container requires less frequent emptying than a container with a corresponding volume of the known device.

Because it is not necessary to open the cover of the container or a hatch therein in order to hoist the container, it is exceptionally simple to provide the container with a watertight cover so that no water can leak into the container.
- one operating element suffices to operate the at least one movable bottom part, for structural reasons it is often advantageous in practical embodiments if an operating element is provided in both standing tubes of the fixed frame.
- the cover part in the device according to the invention bears a column for providing an inlet channel above the level of the ground surface which debouches above the inlet opening.
- the container comprises a movable frame guided in a direction perpendicularly of the plane of the cover and the operating element comprises a pull rod guided through this frame and provided with a carrier element for this frame, which movable frame is coupled to the pull rod and the at least one movable bottom part in a manner such that a highest position of the movable frame corresponds with a closed situation of the movable bottom part, irrespective of the position of the carrier element relative to the movable frame, and a lowest position of the movable frame corresponds with an opened situation of the movable bottom part, wherein the movable frame is supported by the carrier element.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a device for underground waste collection, comprising a container which is closed in peripheral direction and can be sunk into the ground and which is provided with at least one bottom part which is movable to provide a discharge opening and with a cover part with an inlet opening.
- Such a device is generally known for collecting domestic refuse tendered in plastic sacks, but also for collecting for instance glass or used clothing.
- The container of the known device is usually placed in a concrete holder which is buried in the ground. The device is provided with a lifting eye which is arranged under the cover in the centre thereof and which is accessible via a hatch in the cover, and with operating means for an openable bottom assembled from two parts, which operating means are likewise accessible via said hatch. In the known waste collection device, waste is thrown into the container via an opening in a column standing on the cover above the inlet opening, an inlet channel through the column and the inlet opening in the cover. The container is emptied in due time using a hoisting device intended for this purpose which is coupled to the lifting eye under the hatch and to the operating means for the bottom, wherein the container is successively lifted out of the concrete holder and placed above the loading platform of a truck and the bottom is opened by activating the operating means.
- The waste collections described above are e.g. reflected in the German Gebrauchsmuster G 91 05 976 and the
French patent application 2 713 610. - The drawback associated with the known waste collection device is that the position of the lifting eye and the operating means for the openable bottom above the centre of the container renders impossible the provision of an inlet opening in the cover above the centre of the container. In the known device the column with the inlet channel debouching above the inlet opening stands on the edge of the cover, as a result of which waste deposited in the container accumulates outside the centre of the container, which can cause the container to hang askew when it is hoisted out of the concrete holder and which in any case results in a relatively low degree of filling of the container. Because in the known device waste is deposited into the container from an inlet opening on the edge of the container, the top of the heap of deposited waste reaches the inlet opening relatively quickly, while the deposited waste along an opposite side still lies relatively far beneath the level of this opening. Once the top of the heap of deposited waste has reached the inlet opening, further depositing of waste into the container is no longer possible and a large part of the volume of the container remains unutilized, as a consequence of which the container must be emptied more often than may be anticipated on the basis of the total volume thereof.
- Another drawback of the known device is the chance of water penetrating along the edges of the hatch in the cover.
- The object of the invention is to provide a waste collection device which can be sunk, wherein the volume of the container can be optimally utilized, so that the container requires less frequent emptying than a container with a corresponding volume of the known device.
- Another object is to provide a waste collection device which does not hang askew when it is lifted up.
- A further object is to provide a waste collection device wherein no water collects in the sunken container.
- These objectives are realized, and other advantages achieved, with a waste collection device of the type stated in the preamble of
claim 1 which according to the invention comprises a frame which is fixedly connected to the container and which is formed by two tubes standing perpendicularly from the cover on either side of the inlet opening and extending through the cover on their underside, which tubes are connected at their top by a transverse element, wherein an operating element for the at least one movable bottom part extends through at least one of said tubes, the inlet opening being formed substantially in the centre of the cover between the standing tubes. - Such a waste collection device offers the advantage that the operating element for the at least one movable bottom part does not occupy any space above the centre of the container, so that an inlet opening can be provided in the cover above this centre and the container can be filled from the centre, and thus evenly. Using a hoisting device the filled container can be lifted out of a ground holder, for instance on the transverse element or on a lifting eye fixed thereto, without the container coming to hang askew in the hoisting device. Because it is not necessary to open the cover of the container or a hatch therein in order to hoist the container, it is exceptionally simple to provide the container with a watertight cover so that no water can leak into the container. Although in principle one operating element suffices to operate the at least one movable bottom part, for structural reasons it is often advantageous in practical embodiments if an operating element is provided in both standing tubes of the fixed frame.
- Preferably the cover part in the device according to the invention bears a column for providing an inlet channel above the level of the ground surface which debouches above the inlet opening.
- In an embodiment of this device the container comprises a movable frame guided in a direction perpendicularly of the plane of the cover and the operating element comprises a pull rod guided through this frame and provided with a carrier element for this frame, which movable frame is coupled to the pull rod and the at least one movable bottom part in a manner such that a highest position of the movable frame corresponds with a closed situation of the movable bottom part, irrespective of the position of the carrier element relative to the movable frame, and a lowest position of the movable frame corresponds with an opened situation of the movable bottom part, wherein the movable frame is supported by the carrier element.
- In an advantageous embodiment of the device according to the invention the container comprises a movable frame guided in a direction perpendicularly of the plane of the cover and the operating element comprises a telescopic element, which movable frame is coupled to the telescopic element and the at least one movable bottom part in a manner such that a highest position of the movable frame corresponds with a closed situation of the movable bottom part, irrespective of the situation of the telescopic element, and a lowest position of the movable frame corresponds with an opened situation of the movable bottom part and an extended situation of the telescopic element, wherein the movable frame is supported by the telescopic element.
- The coupling between the movable frame and the movable bottom part in these embodiments is realized for instance with chains, preferably with cables, more preferably with rods which in preference are positioned along side walls of the container.
- In a very advantageous embodiment of a waste collection device with an inlet channel in a column on the cover, the inlet channel comprises a closing flap on the column and a tiltable drum open on one side which is coupled to the closing flap in a manner such that when the flap is opened the open side of the drum is directed toward the opening left clear by the flap and when the flap is closed the open side is directed toward the inlet opening in the cover of the container.
- In a further embodiment of the invention the container is for instance a rectangle or a square in horizontal cross-section and the inlet opening is formed above the intersection of the diagonals of this rectangle respectively this square.
- The invention will be elucidated in the following on the basis of embodiments and with reference to the annexed drawings, in which corresponding components are designated with the same reference numerals.

Not shown are a column on the cover of the container overtubes 5,transverse element 6 and liftingeyes container 2. In the shown position thedevice 1 rests on a horizontal ground surface so thatbottom parts 3 are in a closed situation, as a result of which themovable frame 10 is pressed against fixedframe 4 byrods 11, and pullrods 7 hang in their lowest position. During emptying of a filledcontainer 2, thepull rods 7 are first pulled upward on liftingeyes 8 so thatmovable frame 10 is pressed bycarrier elements 9 againstfixed frame 4 andbottom parts 3 remain suspended in a closed position onrods 11, so that thewhole device 1 can be raised on liftingeye 13 and manoeuvred above a loading platform. Above the loading platform thepull rods 7 are moved downward again, as a result of which themovable frame 10 resting oncarrier elements 9 and therods 11 coupled toframe 10 are moved downward so thatbottom parts 3 fold open onpivot axes 12 and the contents ofcontainer 2 drop into said loading platform. After emptying ofcontainer 2 the liftingeyes 8 are pulled upward once again so thatbottom parts 3 fold shut and the device can be re-placed on the original position, whereinpull rods 7 can again drop downward andmovable frame 10 is again pressed againstfixed frame 4 byrods 11. - Fig. 2 shows a front view of a second embodiment of a
