    The present invention relates to a device for weighing an amount of garbage according to the preamble of claim 1.
    Devices for weighing an amount of garbage are known from the prior art in order to be able to determine how much garbage can be placed in a container by one or more users. The container can be, for example, a garbage compactor.
    Known devices include a weighing means which measures the weight exerted by the amount of waste on the weighing means. This weight depends on the angle of the contact surface of the garbage to the force of gravity. In the prior art, there are devices that take into account a possible inclined position of the weighing means and still enable a correct weighing process. EP 0 638 787 A1 and US 2005/0186063 A1 each describe a calibration of the weighing means.
    In contrast, the present invention is based on the object of creating a device which, with less effort, enables a quantity of garbage to be weighed on a surface whose normal vector does not run parallel to the force of gravity. In addition, a system is to be created from such a device and a garbage compactor.
    This object is achieved by a device according to claim 1 and by a system according to claim 9. Embodiments of the invention are given in the dependent claims.
    The device comprises a rotating means, a weighing means, a drive means, a control means and a detection means. The means of rotation is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation and can, for example, be designed like a drum. The weighing means is non-rotatably connected to the rotating means and is designed to weigh the amount of waste. The weighing means can, for example, comprise a trough-shaped container for receiving the amount of waste. In addition, the weighing means can comprise a force measuring element which is designed to measure the weight exerted by the amount of waste. In the context of this description, a rotationally fixed connection is understood to mean that the weighing means is also rotated when the rotating means is rotated about the axis of rotation, so that no relative movement occurs between the rotating means and the weighing means during such a rotation.
    The drive means is designed to rotate the rotation means about the axis of rotation. The control means is designed to receive an electrical signal from the detection means and to trigger a rotation of the rotation means about the axis of rotation. The detection means is designed to detect an inclination of the weighing means relative to a geometric plane, the normal vector of which runs parallel to the gravitational force of the earth. The electrical signal output by the detection means to the control means includes an indication of the detected inclination. If the device is set up on sloping terrain, for example, the geometric plane does not run parallel to the terrain on which the device is set up. The inclination detected by the detection means therefore always relates to the geometric plane, the normal vector of which runs parallel to the gravitational force.
    Since information about the detected inclination of the weighing means is transmitted to the control means, the control means can be designed to adjust the inclination of the weighing means by rotating the rotating means. The control means preferably sets the lowest possible inclination so that the amount of waste can be weighed as precisely as possible. The amount of waste can thus be weighed with little effort and without calibration, even if the device is arranged on a surface whose normal vector does not run parallel to the force of gravity.
    According to one embodiment of the invention, the control means can be designed to trigger a rotation of the rotation means about the axis of rotation until the inclination is less than 5 °, in particular less than 1 °. The inclination is preferably continuously reduced by the rotation.
    According to one embodiment of the invention, the weighing means can be designed to weigh the amount of waste after the rotation triggered by the control means has been completed. In this state, particularly accurate weighing can be carried out.
    According to one embodiment of the invention, the detection means can be attached to the weighing means. In this way, the actual inclination of the weighing means can be inferred from the detected inclination in a particularly reliable manner.
    According to one embodiment of the invention, the weighing means can comprise a trough-shaped container which is designed to receive the amount of waste.
    According to one embodiment of the invention, the detection means can comprise an inclination sensor. Inclination sensors are particularly inexpensive and can be manufactured with little effort for the detection of inclinations.
    According to one embodiment of the invention, the control means can be designed to trigger a rotation of the rotation means about the axis of rotation after the amount of waste has been weighed, so that the amount of waste is transported from the weighing means.
    According to one embodiment of the invention, the amount of garbage can be transported from the weighing means due to gravity.
    It is also possible that the rotating means has an opening, wherein in a first position of the rotating means, the amount of waste can be introduced into the device from the outside. In a second position of the rotating means, the amount of waste can be weighed. In a third position, the amount of waste can be transported from the weighing means.
    The rotation means can be rotated from the first to the second and from the second to the third position by the drive means. This rotation can also be triggered by the control means. The rotation from the first position into the second position is preferably carried out in such a way that the opening visible from outside the device is moved upwards in the position of use of the device. In this way, the risk of objects becoming trapped between the rotating means and a wall of the device is reduced.
    Further features and advantages of the present invention will become clear on the basis of the following description of preferred exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying figures. The same reference numerals are used for the same components and for components with the same functions. 1 shows a schematic sectional view of a device according to an embodiment of the invention in a first position; FIG. 2 shows a schematic sectional view of the device from FIG. 1 in a second position; and FIG. 3 shows a schematic sectional view of the device from FIG. 1 in a third position.
    The device comprises a drum-shaped rotation means 100 on which a weighing means is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner. The weighing means comprises a trough-shaped container 101, which is non-rotatably connected to the rotating means 100, and a force measuring element 102. In addition, the device comprises a detection means 103 and a proximity sensor 105.
    In Figure 1, the device is shown in the first position. In this position, an opening 104 is visible from outside the device, through which a user can bring garbage into the container 101. When the user has dumped his garbage, the rotation means 100 is rotated into the second position shown in FIG. For this purpose, the device comprises a drive means and a control means, which are not shown in the figures for reasons of clarity. The drive means can set the rotation means 100 in rotation. The control means receives electrical signals from the detection means 103 and controls the drive means.
    The control means causes a rotation of the rotation means 100 until the detection means 103 outputs an electrical signal to the control means, which includes information about a particularly low inclination of the force measuring element 102 relative to a geometric plane whose normal vector runs parallel to the gravitational force. This is the case in the second position shown in FIG. In the second position, the opening 104 from FIG. 1 is closed. It should be noted that the opening was closed from bottom to top. This is particularly advantageous since it reduces the risk of objects becoming trapped between the means of rotation 100 and the wall of the device. If one or more objects are nevertheless moved by the rotating means 100 during the rotational movement from the first position to the second position in the direction of the wall of the device, this is detected by the proximity sensor 105, which can output an electrical signal to the control means so that the Rotation may be stopped.
    In the second position, the amount of waste is weighed by the force measuring element 102, in that the weight exerted by the amount of waste on the force measuring element 102 is measured. The measured value can be transmitted, for example, to a billing system that carries out billing based on the amount of waste thrown in by the user.
    When the weighing process has ended, the control means causes the rotation means 100 to rotate into the third position shown in FIG. In this position, the garbage is transported downwards out of the device by gravity. A garbage compactor, for example, which presses the garbage, can be arranged below the device. The rotating means 100 can then be moved back into the first position so that further waste can be introduced into the device through the opening 104.
