"Underground waste collection container"

The innovation relates to an underground waste collection container according to the generic term of the main claim:

Underground waste collection containers are known from DE 36 36 595 A1

known.

Furthermore, it is known from DE 297 21 195 U1 to provide devices for waste disposal consisting of a press and an associated, coupled swap container

as a collection container, whereby the pressing device can be decoupled from the collection container so that the collection container can be guided or driven to the emptying station on its own.

While the state-of-the-art underground waste collection containers must be emptied by, for example, vacuuming the container or lifting the entire container using a suitable crane vehicle, it is not possible for facilities that require a change

containers with a press, it is not known whether they can be used as underground waste collection containers.

Especially with underground waste collection containers, it is sensible to use so-called "press containers", which are designed for compaction.

ensure that loosely thrown-in waste is disposed of properly, so that the swap body can be emptied less frequently.

The innovation is based on the task of proposing an underground waste collection container that is designed as a press container.

which is, however, designed in such a way that contamination of the open receiving space in the ground is avoided.

This task underlying the innovation is carried out by the

Doctrine of the main claim resolved.

Advantageous embodiments are explained in the subclaims.

In other words, it is proposed to set up a known "press container" in a receiving space located in the ground. The container is set up on a tray so that any leaking liquid can be collected and not end up in the actual storage area.

The tub itself is also designed as a support element for the lifting device, i.e. when emptying, the lifting device lifts the tub with the attached "press container" so high that the entire arrangement comes above the ground surface and the swap body is removed.

and exchanged for another one. At the same time, the press is also lifted up so that any minor repairs or maintenance work on the press can be carried out very easily.

Of course, the receiving space is covered on its top by a plate, which allows the actual "press container" to work rainproof, whereby preferably according to the innovation the cover plate is combined with the tub in such a way that when the "press container" is lifted, the plate is also lifted with

is lifted, i.e., in alternating cases, the tub is in the

level with the ground and at the same time both the press and the container are protected against rain, as the cover plate always remains above the overall arrangement and is not completely removed.

The simplest lifting device for this arrangement is a scissor linkage, but hydraulic cylinders or chain lifts can also be used. The innovative arrangement ensures that, despite all the advantages of the known underground waste collection containers,

ter, while at the same time the collection container or swap container needs to be changed less frequently. This arrangement is particularly advantageous in very busy areas of a city due to the reduced maintenance work.

An example of the innovation is explained below using the drawing.

The drawing shows a surface worked out in the ground 1

receiving space 2, which can be designed as known in the prior art.

In this receiving space 2, a collecting container 4 is arranged, which consists of a press 6 and an interchangeable container 7.

, whereby a filling shaft 5 can be seen in the area of the press 6.

The overall arrangement of press and swap body consists of a base support 9, which in its upper part is designed as a trough

8 is formed. The lifting device is arranged in this floor support 9, for example a scissor lifting rod or hydraulic piston-cylinder arrangements or the like.

The receiving space 2 is covered by a cover plate 3,

which are designed to adapt to the surrounding area

and which is supported by supports 10 and 11 on the floor support 9 and on the tub 8. This ensures that
When the press container consisting of the press 6 and the swap body 7 is lifted, the cover plate 3 is also lifted so that the entire arrangement is protected against rain or the like even when lifted out.

As can be seen from the drawing, the plate 3 leads to drainage channels in the edge area, so that the penetration of
Water is not possible in this area of recording room 2.

Claims (3)

1. Underground waste collection container with a collection container ( 4 ) arranged in a receiving space ( 2 ) in the ground ( 1 ) which is open at the top, a plate ( 3 ) covering the receiving space ( 2 ) and one or more filling shafts ( 5 ) leading indirectly from above to the collection container ( 4 ), characterized in that a) the collecting container ( 4 ) is designed as a press container with a press ( 6 ) and a swap container ( 7 ) coupled thereto, b) the swap body ( 7 ) and the press ( 6 ) are arranged on a trough ( 8 ), c) the trough ( 8 ) can be raised above the ground surface. 2. Underground waste collection container according to claim 1, characterized in that the plate ( 3 ) is carried by the tub ( 8 ). 3.
