Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of devices and techniques for recycling waste throughout the collection and treatment of glass, and in particular to a process for collecting and treating hollow glass (such as bottles, containers or packages) typically made of glass.

Background

By "glass collection" in the context of waste management, it is intended a set of strategies and methods aimed at recovering glass from waste in order to reuse it, rather than throwing it to disposal in a landfill.

Drinking bottles were first recycled after 1800 years, in great britain and ireland by a certain beverage producer, especially the well-known brand Schweppes, by means of a storage that could be compensated. An official recycling system with a replenishable storage of bottles and jars was established in sweden in 1884.

The recycling of glass, along with paper and metal, contributes to considerable energy savings in the creation of new materials.

Glass reclamation is a key concept in modern waste disposal and an essential component in the most accurate high-grade waste management, and is also a solid potential business source for investors in the field.

In addition, more generally, upstream of recycling and individual waste collection, the subject of waste prevention, social responsibility with the producer, and a set of laws aimed at reducing packaging also play an important role.

It is known that recovery is more complicated than simple disposal in dumps or incinerators-they are not replaced, but rather their use is limited. By "recovery system" is meant the entire production process, not just the final step; this involves the use of recyclable materials such as glass, thereby avoiding more difficult or impossible to recycle materials.

Disclosure of Invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a device for the volume reduction of glass packages obtained by means of the use of dedicated glass crushers, first for the use of the horea industry, where glass packages are most used, in order then to be distributed in ecological disposal areas, apartments, hospitals, boats, … ….

A further object of the present invention is to provide a machine with reduced bulk and provided with orienting wheels. Its appearance may have many versions and/or variations that configure its multiple applications; in the present case, the machine will be housed, entirely and/or partially, in various types of pre-molded forms, for example depicting various types of bottles, bottles of small calipers and/or such similar products so that they can be used in public places. Such a version is provided with a plurality of containers mounted on a "carousel" so as to make more space available for glass storage, and a remote control connected to the SIM for the management of the machine will inform the collection station so that it provides over time the replacement of the filled trash bin.

With respect to one aspect of the survey findings, questions regarding the transmission of geographic location data of a plurality of client units acting in a recycling system in which provision is made for detections to be automatically collected by a central server are analyzed. When the central server unit of the neighborhood map of the site where the glass collection is performed, having relative paths, receives, these are then retransmitted as geographical location data towards a further plurality of client units (i.e. trucks loaded with the collection).

In fact, problems with transport networks are known regarding delays that occur based on travel route selection. Among the most important problems, for which solutions the graphical representation is exploited, there is the problem of searching for routes having predetermined characteristics.

For example, if a transport network is given four junctions and five road segments, weighted on the road with corresponding weights, then a trip requires one time unit (e.g., 10 minutes) on each road segment, and more than one trip on each road segment may be performed in each time unit; the weights are then established corresponding to the time necessary for the path to be followed: a verification is usually required to establish whether any one good can be transferred from junction 1 to junction 4 of the network within a certain number of time units.

The network is said to be minimal if the route connecting all the junctions has the smallest possible length. Once the set of points is fixed in a plane, the network connecting them is any graph containing these points between their junction points. It is also an object of the present invention to establish a technique capable of minimizing such paths that each truck responsible for collection must follow-then finding the so-called minimum travel based on a series of predetermined characteristics. Among these characteristics, the possibility of following an optimized path for collecting glass with specific characteristics (colour, grain size, … …) must be emphasized.

The above object is achieved by means of a new automated selection process as claimed in claim 1.

FIGS. 2 and 3 are schematic representations of queues for implementing priority criteria in glass collection;

Detailed Description

With reference to fig. 1, the computer network system and architecture of a machine for breaking glass 2 based on an online connection is generally reported, since it is provided with a SIM 4 card for communication through a public telephone network 6; furthermore, a truck 12 for collection is connected online, such truck being followed by satellite detection 7.

The machine 2 is equipped with sensors 5, the sensors 5 being connected to an electronic circuit board that counts the number of bottles resting in each bucket 3 by means of dedicated detectors. By storing the accounting of the n full buckets that the machine 2 generates from its operation, information is obtained for the central server 1 as to which machines must be unloaded. An "App" for providing all information through a remote device is configured. In fact, the remote control of the management of the machine 2 is connected to the SIM 4, the SIM 4 informing the collection station 1 so that it promptly provides the replacement of the full trash container 3.

The device 2 is provided with a sensor-activated automatic start control which it can place on the bottle insertion door. In addition, the machine is provided with a screen that determines the maximum particle size that is desired to be obtained from the grinding of the glass, which simplifies the handling of the sand. The screen is divided into three sections mounted on the same main user openable hinge to facilitate maintenance and cleaning thereof. It may in fact happen that the wrong grinding causes the hammer to block, unblocking taking place through the opening of the screen, which makes it possible for the material that may be stuck to exit and the operation to resume. The inverter manages the operation of the electric machine in the opposite sense according to the commands, so as to make it possible to control the machine more conveniently.

The machine 2 has, depending on the version and its intended field of use, an optical reader which recognizes the colour of the glass introduced and aims the ground glass to different containers 3 by means of a "carousel" device located below the grinding chamberⁱIn (1). Products are given increased value with various applications in the market by color differentiation and have their greatest applications in ecological disposal areas, in medium-sized companies and/or factories.

As mentioned above, the machine 2 is provided with a load cell system 3 which determines the weight of the treated glass (for example, 25Kg, according to law), automatically blocking the introduction of a new glass box while waiting for the collection barrel to be replaced.

The machine 2 has a calibration system of each Kg of product on a tub 3 made of transparent PVC, identified with a bar code ID to which the origin is to be added. In this way, at any time, the control center 1 knows the amount of glass processed by each single user, which allows the administrator to better determine the attribution of costs for managing the individual treatment collections and the rewards associated therewith, and also creates a basis for market analysis aimed at achieving the use of glass. The apparatus is placed on a truck 12 dedicated to road collection and the operator, once the vehicle is stopped, can continue to reduce the volume of the collected glass package by making a manual and/or automatic selection by color through a slit placed on the perimeter of the device. The device has, depending on its size, an area dedicated to emptying the buckets 3 from the door-to-door collection into the tank. Such devices 12, in fact, due to their versatility and the type of material transported, contribute to reducing the acoustic pollution caused by current compactors.

The glass sand thus collected is sent to a dedicated plant 8, where it is subjected to the screening and cleaning treatments previously described in the plant 8. It should be stated that such plants do not exist in italy today, since several plants producing glass sand use waste material obtained from the pre-treatment of glass fragments in authorized platforms; such waste also contains a variable percentage of porcelain and crystals, and such sand is micronized by means of a mill, which determines the single maximum particle size to be reused in the glass article. The described investigations found the originality in the different particle sizes obtained with the apparatus upstream of each industrial process, such particle size diversity ensuring that in its industrial separation process sieves of the size desired to be obtained are applied in order to direct the product to different fields of application, and depending on their uniqueness they can be further treated with flushing systems and/or thermal systems to reduce the COD level well below the reference parameters until a product is obtained that is completely free of bacterial agents.

The sand is unloaded by truck 12 at company 8 on a vibrating belt, which, at low speed, brings the material into a hopper; this pre-loading step serves to visually inspect the contents of the unloaded drum to verify that the collection-unrelated body is not found inside it, and in the event that glass-unrelated material is detected, it can be traced back to the waste producer by means of the barcode reported on the drum. The material is sent by conveyor belts to a ferrous material selector and a non-ferrous material selector, which, through a suction-deashing system of hot air introduction and elimination of residual moisture and paper fraction of labels, crosses the vibrating fluid bed, where the material is then made to undergo vibratory filtration with different sections in which the selection of the desired particle size takes place. The latter step is the treatment of the already separated material in order to reduce the COD, said step being carried out by flushing if the material does not require special attention and/or heat treatment by means of a calcining device which ensures the absence of bacteria in the final product by bringing the temperature up to 700 ℃. The latter step is the packing of sand, which can be put on the market in large bags and/or pockets of various sizes.

Such a solution generally facilitates the application of new technologies suitable to support and replace, where possible, the current supply chain of individual glass collection. In this embodiment, the profit optimization by the extended robotized of the system is not considered-i.e. a compactor with an automated system for the collection and emptying of roadside containers, which is complex and rather costly-instead, the redistribution of the districts of individual uniqueness by the user of the machine is considered. Said equipment, in fact, thanks to its malleable characteristics, can be widely circulated both in the horea industry and in the private sector by operators assigned to collect, possibly even having italian B driving licenses, since the collection can be carried out with medium-capacity trucks 12 (even in particular ecological vehicles), especially in metropolitan centres, and in such a way that the operators increase, the relative pollution due to the use of heavy vehicles is reduced, as presently envisaged, acoustic pollution elimination due to glass spillage is eliminated, the time for glass collection is extended, since the minimum volume of the barrels makes it possible to stack them at the production site.

In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the problem associated with multiple glass collection points 2 is solvedⁱSince from these the detections are automatically collected by the central server 1 and then, upon the central server unit 1 receiving a given update request for a single booth 3 of the filling plant 2, are directed as geographical location data towards a further plurality of trucks 12 of medium capacityⁱAnd (6) retransmitting. In practice, the control center 1 periodically sends a screen of 9/13 inch format (since this is the most common video format) to the individual trucks 12 to update them with regard to the distribution of the glass to be collected throughout the district.

Essentially, a broad transmission of information about the filling of the basket 3 is created. In fact, it is clear that the central server 1 carries out the task of automatically sending said information about the filling of the basket, by means of the App, towards a display arranged on the truck or a display arranged on a smartphone owned by the driver.

In more detail, transmitting a plurality of apparatuses 2 is performed by means of a user interface consisting of portable electronic devicesⁱAnd associated collecting basket 3^mOf the geographic location data. The sending request step is automatically generated by the central server unit 1, said geographical server unit receiving the update data regarding the collection of the operated place for the neighbouring map 10The location data is retransmitted on the map 10 towards multiple viewers.

On the other hand, all the information about the filling of the basket is used to manage the classification of the various business partners and also to detect "rewards". Indeed, since the amount of glass processed by each individual user can be known, it will be ensured that the administrator can best determine the cause of the cost of the individual collected management and the rewards associated therewith, thus creating a basis for market analysis also aimed at achieving the use of glass.

In respect of another aspect, the system is seen as an infrastructure comprising the following components:

n places 2', 2 ", … 2 where collection is performedⁿ；

Q trucks 12', 12 "… 12^q；

A central control system 1 with an associated database 14 of recipient clients/plants; and

p plants 8 that require a supply of glass with specific specifications, such as different particle sizes, different colours of cullet, etc.

This is configured as a self-regulating system that generates a series of feedbacks on the collected readiness information of the type of glass in real time based on the time most requested by the recipient factory 8.

At the same time, the central system 1 can take into account the individual barrels (3', 3 ", … 3)^m) To establish a priority emptying of the buckets.

Essentially all network architectures operate on the queuing system 9. In particular, it is based on the queue base front 20-back 21 as reported in fig. 2.

According to a first operating solution, the queue front 20 has priority over the queue in the background 21, in which background 21 the unloading that has to be performed when it has the specific glass characteristic to be detected is inserted. In other words, the unloading process of the queue background 21 is accepted only when the queue foreground 20 is empty.

More often, as in fig. 3, which constitutes a generalization of the solution just described, an implementation of the multi-level feedback type is considered.

The queue 20 of level 1 corresponds to the queue foreground and has the largest priority accepted. Then there are other processes that fall within other lower priority queues that receive lower priority as reported in fig. 3.

If the processing included in the queue having the maximum priority 20 is completed, the processing of the queue 21 ', then the processing of 21 ", then the processing of 21'", and so on are accepted.

The first priority queue 20 is a queue that generates a path that favors a place where the universal inter-cell 3 is filled. The established path then takes into account the specific request of the individual recipient factory 8, which may require some type of glass (e.g., from the point of view of particle size 21' and/or color 21 "… …), and no other type. Thus, for example, truck 12 first only reaches those locations 2 where it is certain that such types of cullet may be detected based on the availability of a series of full lotsⁱ。

In practice, if the request to provide green glass to the factory 8 has become prioritized, the ID of the machine 2 at which the cell 3 responsible for green glass collection is (or is about to be) filled will be moved to the queue front. Depending on the priority, even those singleton IDs that are not the requested color at the moment, even if full, can be moved into the queue background. In fact, as mentioned above, the machine 2 is provided with a load cell system 3 which determines the weight of the treated glass (for example, 25Kg, according to the law), automatically blocking the introduction of a new glass box while waiting for the collection barrel to be replaced.

Obviously, such virtualization of paths and usage queues can be repeated on multiple levels (fig. 3), which is still within the basic principles of management of virtual queues.

It is also evident that the operating conditions are extremely efficient from the point of view of the time of carrying out the unloading of the single cells 3.

The transmission of the weight/number of bottles in each cell 3 of the plant 2 by means of the public telephone network 6 ensures that the control centre 1 is instantaneously aware of each machine distributed in the whole area of the districtEach cell 3 of the device 2¹、3²、……3^pOf the unloaded glass.

At the same time, the truck 12¹,12²…12^qThe GPS detection of the current location of the glass ensures that the best path can be generated based on the most recent request from the plant 8 requiring a single supply of glass.

Further possibilities for management of different priority types are provided by a multi-column table organization of the type reported in FIG. 4, which may be accessed by secondary keywords-e.g., glass color.in the first column of Table 30, there is a weight between individual sheets, in the second column, there is a number of sheets associated with a certain weight between the sheets, Table 32 represents a primary archive. in Table 31, three color types XXX, YY and ZZZ are also reported, with relative pointers at the head of the list

In a further embodiment of the invention, the glass collection management and control server 1 operates by also considering in real time the pick-up consisting of vitreous material at the moment when the loading from the single booth 3 to the truck 12 takes place. For this purpose, weight sensors 5 are provided which are arranged at two positions: a weight sensor 5 placed at each bucket 3-at each section of the collecting machine 2, a weight sensor 5 is provided-as well as an on-board weight sensor 5 placed on the truck 12 responsible for the collection. In essence, when loaded on a truck, the central system 1 records a set of collection baskets 3 in computer mode-simultaneouslyⁱAnd simultaneously an increase Δ p in the load on the truck 12. From a strictly manufacturing point of view, the SIM or SIMs 4 at the collection site 2 are connected to means for detecting the weight of the single basket 3 or the number of bottles that have been inserted in the single containing device/basket 2, 3. In fact, at the central system 1The database 14 of various users and associated containers/baskets 2, 3 stores in real time how much glass has been loaded in each barrel 3. So that a picture is available about the glass load distribution on a particular tube region.

Upon passage of the truck 12, the basket is unloaded and then the weight sensor 5 itself is set to detect the emptying and transmit it to the central system 1. A system for detecting weight is also present on the truck 12 (e.g., by means of estimating different degrees of damping of the shock absorber against oscillations due to increased/decreased load). In this case, on the one hand the following possibilities exist:

checking the actual unloading of the tub 3 on the truck 12;

simultaneously monitoring the unloading from the truck 12 to the final recipient 8 of the product to be delivered.

If, on the one hand, the same central server 1 supplies graphs on the path to be followed for glass loading, it is important that human factors are also taken into account, so that each time a certain graph is configured, the same driver of the truck 12 inserts an indication of his/her path preferred at the moment, although a "target" classification exists based on the information compiled on the central server 1 on the loading of the basket 3.

The driver of the truck 12, his/her own attention, from among the various locations, selects those locations that are most convenient beyond the classification made by the central server 1. In this way, he/she manages the geographical map 10 of interest with the earliest place of use highlighted. In substance, he/she can for example discard the basket 3ⁱAnd lower priority sites in the classification are considered for his/her own reasons for presence (temporary unavailability, car accidents, parades/counseling, municipal street cleaning and refusal to handle vehicles or trucks … traffic thus slowing down). The user can then create a map or physical geographical map 10 as required, starting from the classification recommended by the information about the filling of the basket 3, he/she can therefore modify the same geographical map 10 on the screen as required. Importantly, such paths-and facies on the map 10Off change-is sent to the server 1 in real time to prevent two trucks from driving to the same site 2.

In general, each driver receives a map 10 having a pre-established path, either periodically or upon request. The same driver then has sufficient freedom in selection, such a driver having in any case an important role for the manipulation of the different indicators with regard to emptying the collecting basket 3 at each crushing device 1. It is therefore preferable to maintain the same level of automation in order to have the possibility of the driver to intervene in a flexible way.

In other words, in addition to the above-described technique of automatic detection of the map model, the invention provides a low degree of automation and the possibility of this type of estimation being performed directly at the client. In particular, the basic principle of the invention is that of a limited degree of automation when using an application SW that will provide the described optimized path to be followed.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a dedicated display/map is generated. Specifically, the prescribed map may be constituted by a translucent upper paper layer. On which a geographical map of the place is reported, and below such an upper level, a matrix of micro LEDs is provided which illuminate in relation to the path which the vehicle has completed.

The App can provide information so that an optimized route can be defined that is illuminated and that the driver can follow.

The result of the overview of the information about the filling of the basket 3 at the place 2 where the glass of a given colour is found is then indicated with a flashing light on the map itself, which is then controlled by the App itself. In other words, a series of commercial enterprises (or more generally entities) falling within a specific procedure for managing information about glass loading baskets 3 with a given color or a given particle size are indicated on the map device by LED lighting, as is known in addition to the various cartographic services provided on the web. It is highly advantageous to dynamically provide a message on the availability of a place to find a particular color of glass. In fact, if, for example, a glass load of a given colour has been unloaded at a particular location, this is indicated in real time by means of a flashing light activity, based on information about the recorded filling of the basket.

Advantages found by investigation and industrial applicability

The machine described allows the operator to reduce the treated volumes to one tenth and to collect them, store them by means of PVC containers with a capacity of 25 Kg. Product areas where various particle sizes will be dedicated in various types of heat treatment and other treatments will be the following: construction, painting, water filtration, sporadic repair, production of embankment life bags, production of sand, as non-limiting examples, for beach maintenance, avoiding harmful dredging and/or quarrying works.

In addition to the above, in order to emphasize that the system ensures that the glass is not contaminated as it currently happens, the glass is still confined in a closed vat until it is emptied at a dedicated processing site. The factory processing of the glass, its re-use in channels other than the channels of the foundry, ensures that high quality secondary raw materials can be created, which contributes to benign and ethical induced activities on the entire supply chain.

An advantageous solution to the problems associated with glass transportation networks is evident in terms of delays that occur based on routing. The definition of the minimum network at a time based on the selections made by the user may be made by providing means for connecting the sites with the machine 2 with the smallest possible lengthⁱTo be acquired in real time. Indeed, investigations have found that it is possible to establish techniques that enable the path to be minimized, thereby finding a so-called minimum travel based on any one series of predetermined characteristics.
