Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lifting and tipping device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Smaller garbage bins with a capacity of up to 240 liters can be emptied easily with conventional lifting and tipping devices without having to provide special opening devices for their lids.
  • the lids of such smaller garbage bins swing freely without fear of bumping the lids on internals of the garbage collection vehicle or on parts of the feeder device emptying the pouring opening.
  • special opening devices for the hinged lids of waste containers may be required in order to ensure that they open adequately during tilting and to prevent strikes against internals or parts of the feeder device, which could result in damage to the containers.
  • the mechanism for opening the lid of large-volume garbage containers consists of two articulated links, of which the inner is articulated to the side wall of the pouring opening and the outer with which Flap closing flap is connected, which is guided on rollers on arcuate guide strips which are attached to the side walls of the pouring opening.
  • Angle levers are pivoted freely on the flap, the lower legs of which carry hooks which, when the waste containers are tilted, engage in eyelets arranged on the tops of their lids.
  • the upper, longer legs abut the lid and are pivoted by it in a counterclockwise direction, so that the hooks of the other legs engage behind cross bars of the eyelets, while when tilted further, the lid hinge of the waste container against the free end of the outer handlebar which is extended beyond the flap bumps and pushes the flap along the guide rails in front of you, so that the lid is opened immediately according to the course of the guide rails while opening the pouring opening.
  • the container takes the flap back into its closed position via the lock with the lid, until the lid lifts off the upper leg of the double lever and this falls back under the action of gravity into its starting position, in which the lock is released.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a control device for a bed according to the preamble of claim 1, which allows a full opening of the lid during tilting, without the risk that they will bump into internals or rotating press plates or the like.
  • a corresponding arrangement of the articulation points of the four-bar system and a corresponding length and shape of the handlebars allow the front opening edge of the lid to be opened along a curve when the waste containers are tilted, which curve in the gap-shaped space above the orbit of the press plates and below the upper internals of the Bulk or the collecting vehicle runs.
  • the lever carrying the hook forms a quadrilateral joint with the handlebars, which causes the pivoting radius and the angular velocity of the lever to increase as the tilting angle increases as the pivoting center moves.
  • the lifting and tipping device in addition to the large-volume hinged-lid waste containers, conventional household waste containers with sizes of 120 or 240 liters can also be emptied, the hinged lid of which can open when tilted without interfering with the built-in and superstructures of the refuse collection vehicle.
  • the device according to the invention thus fulfills the Demand for efficient garbage disposal to be able to tilt and empty garbage bins of different sizes with the same lifting and tipping device.
  • a lifting and tipping device is known with a bow-shaped lever which is pivotably mounted in the upper region of the frame of the bed and which is essentially vertical in its rest position, which hooks and opens with a hook-shaped projection of the lid during the tilting of the large-volume waste container .
  • this known lifting and tilting device only waste containers with cylindrically curved sliding lids can be opened, which are complex to manufacture and uncomfortable to handle while being filled with waste.
  • Levers provided with hooks for opening cylindrically curved sliding covers of large-volume waste containers are also known, for example, from DE-PS 15 06 839 and 17 56 608.
  • lid opening mechanisms which can be combined with, for example, DE-AS 21 46 653 lifting and tilting devices which are not the subject of the invention and are therefore not described in more detail.
  • the lifting and tipping devices can have claws which grip under the upper front edges of the refuse containers and consist of a comb-like strip on which the refuse containers of different sizes can be placed. Furthermore, a locking bar is provided, which prevents the containers from sliding when tilted away from the claws.
  • the large-volume waste containers 1 shown only partially in FIGS. 1 to 3 are tilted about a shaft of the lifting and tilting device arranged below their opening edges, which shaft does not change its position relative to the frame of the lid opening mechanism.
  • the frame of the lid opening mechanism is formed by the frame 2 of the filling opening of the refuse collection vehicle, not shown. 1 to 3, only the right side wall 3 of the frame is shown with the opening mechanism mounted thereon.
  • the outer link 7 and the inner link 8 are pivotally mounted in the joints 5, 6 about hinge bolts or the like.
  • the upper end of the lever 9 is articulated in the joint 10.
  • the lever 9 is articulated at the upper end of the link 8 in the joint 11, so that the link 7, 8 with the Lever 9 form a four-bar system with joints 5, 6 and 10, 11.
  • the levers 9, 9 'carrying the hooks 16 are connected to one another by a cross member 70 which is arranged at a height such that it can serve as a stop bar for smaller-volume waste containers.
  • Raising stop plates 71 for the hinges of the large-volume hinged-lid waste containers are provided on the cross member.
  • the upper end of the outer link 7 is angled inwards, while the upper end of the lever 9 has a curved part between the joints 10, 11.
  • the upper end of the link 8 is extended beyond the joint 11 and has at its upper end a stop 12 consisting of an angle.
  • the joints 10, 11 lie in the region of the longitudinal axis of the lever 9.
  • one end of a tension spring 14 is attached to the handlebar 8 at point 13, the other end of which is attached to the bearing plate 4 at point 15.
  • the tension spring 14 acts on the handlebars 7, 8 and the lever 9 in the direction of the rest position, which is secured by a stop.
  • the lever 9 In the rest position, the lever 9 is in an approximately vertical position.
  • the lever 9 has an outwardly curved hook 16 at its lower end.
  • the garbage container 1 is provided with a pivotable about the hinge pin 17 hinged lid 18, which approximately in the region of its prede - ren is provided with third lateral pins 19, which project beyond the container receptacle 20 of the refuse container laterally. If the garbage container is in its position shown in FIG. 1, pivoted by about 90 ° by the lifting and tilting device, not shown tilted, the waste container 1 abuts in the region of its hinge pin 17 against the stop plates 71 fastened on the cross member 70, whereby the inward pivoting of the levers 9, 9 'is initiated. The pins 19 run close above the hook 6 against the levers 9, 9 'and pivot them inward when the waste container 1 is tilted further. When swiveling the.
  • Levers 9, 9 ' run inwards the pins 19 into the hooks 16 of the levers 9, 9' and take them along in the manner shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the kinematics of the four-bar system is selected by the length of the links 7, 8 and the distance between the articulation points, such that the hinged cover 18, starting from the position shown in FIG. 1 and tilted by 90 °, initially little and then increasingly with it enlarging pivot radius of the lever 9 is opened. Because of this kinematics, the front region of the hinged cover 18 is pivoted on a gently rising curve, which lies in the gap-shaped region between the circumferential press plates and the upper frame parts of the internals.
  • the front edge of the hinged lid 18 does not exceed the height of the upper container edge shown in FIG. 1, or only insignificantly, so that the hinged lid on the one hand is fully opened when the waste container 1 is tilted, but on the other hand does not collide with upper built-in parts or the pressing plates which pass under it can.
  • the lever 9 runs against the upper stop 12 of the handlebar 8, so that the largest swivel angle cannot be exceeded.
  • the container 1 In the tilted position, the container 1 abuts in the lower region of its front wall against the stop bar 21, which is formed by part of the frame.
  • opening mechanisms are arranged on both side walls 3, 3 'of the frame, which are arranged through the hinged cover 18 on both sides Pins 19 are pivoted to the controlled hinged lid opening.
  • the opening mechanism shown in FIG. 4 basically corresponds in its kinematics to that described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • the only difference is that the front link 22 is provided with a support 23 standing at right angles on it, via which it is mounted in the joint 5 'on the reinforcing plate 4'.
  • the front link 22 is extended so far in the manner shown that even cylindrical sliding covers 25 of large-volume garbage containers 24 of the type known from DE-PS 12 68 539 or from DE-AS 21 46 653 can be opened when the sliding cover are provided with lateral pins 26 projecting beyond the container trough.
  • FIG. 4 the garbage container 24 with a cylindrically curved sliding lid and the opening mechanism is shown in solid lines in a position in which the pins 26 run straight up to the front handlebar 22 after tilting the garbage container by about 90 °, and in dashed lines in one Position in which the sliding cover is partially open.
  • FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment of the opening mechanism in solid lines in the rest position and in dash-dotted lines in a position which corresponds to the maximum opening of the hinged cover 18.
  • the link 29 is articulated in the joint 28, to which in the the upper region in the joint 30 of the lever 31 is articulated.
  • Both the handlebar 29 and the lever 31 are extended beyond their common articulated connection 30 and provided with angled support pieces 32, 33, the ends of which are connected to one another by a tension spring 34.
  • the coupling 36 is articulated to it in the joint 35, at the lower end of which the link 37 is articulated in the joint 38.
  • the link 37 is articulated in the hinge 39 on the side wall 3 of the frame.
  • the handlebar 37 and the coupling rod 36 in the illustrated rest position of the opening mechanism form an acute angle with one another.
  • the handlebar 37 is extended upwards beyond its articulated connection 39 with the side wall 3.
  • one end of a tension spring 40 is attached, the other end of which is attached to a cantilevered support piece 41 of the frame.
  • the tension springs 34 and 40 are arranged such that they try to pivot the opening mechanism in the direction of its rest position.
  • the pivot points, the length of the handlebars and levers and the force of the springs are chosen so that the front edge of the cover 18 is pivoted on the desired flat curve.
  • the coupling rod 36 and the link 37 together form a toggle lever system which, with increasing extension, pivots the link 29 inwards and thus acts in the sense of increasing the pivoting radius of the hook 16 of the lever 31.
  • FIG. 7 shows a fourth embodiment of an opening mechanism in solid lines in the rest position and in dash-dotted lines in a position which corresponds to the complete opening of the hinged cover 18.
  • an upwardly projecting link 44 is articulated in the joint 43 and the lever 46 is mounted on the upper end in the joint 45.
  • the lever 46 is with a bent part 49 extends beyond its joint 45 upwards and carries at its upper end a sliding block or a sliding roller 47 which is guided in a guide curve 48 fixed to the frame.
  • One end of a tension spring 51 is fastened to the handlebar 44 above its joint 43 at points 50, the other end of which is fixed at points 52 to the reinforcing plate 42. The tension spring 51 again tries to pivot the handlebar 44 and thus also the lever 46 into its rest position.
  • the lever 53 provided with a hook 16 is articulated at its upper end in the articulation 54 to the lower end of the link 55, the upper end of which is articulated in the articulation 56 on the upper cross member 57 of the frame.
  • the lever 53 is extended with an angled upper end 58 beyond its articulated connection 54 to the handlebar 55.
  • At the end of the extension part 58 engages the lower end of a tension spring 59, the upper end of which is fixed at a distance from the articulated connection 56 to the upper cross member 57 at points 60.
  • the center line of the tension spring 59 forms an acute angle with the center line of the link 55.
  • the center line of the tension spring 59 is aligned with the center line of the part 58 which extends the lever 53.
  • the transverse rod 61 of an eyelet arranged on the hinged lid 18, which is arranged only at a short distance from the hinge axis 17 of the hinged lid 18, runs against the lever 53 and in the further tilting into the hook 16.
  • the hinge of the hinged cover 18 abuts the lever 53 and pushes it forward.
  • the force of the tension spring 59 is overcome and the lever 53 forms a cover with the handlebar 55 during further pivoting opening tension element.
  • two opening mechanisms consisting of the links 55 and the levers 53 are provided next to one another, so that containers with split hinged lids can also be opened if necessary.
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 A final opening mechanism can be seen in FIGS. 10 and 11.
  • the opening mechanism is shown in solid lines in its rest position and in dash-dotted lines in a position which corresponds to the opening of the hinged lid 18.
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 differs from that according to FIGS. 8 and 9 essentially only in that the link 55 is not articulated on the frame, but in the joint 62 on a crossbar 63 which the ends of links 64 , 64 'connects the lower ends of which are pivotally mounted on the side walls 3, 3' of the frame.
  • the springs 64, 64 ' are acted upon by tension springs 65 in the direction of their rest position.
  • the spring 59 is fastened to the handlebar 64 on an angled support piece 67 which extends beyond it, so that the effective lever arm formed by the end 58 which extends the lever 53 increases with the pivoting out of the lever 53 and the handlebar 55 relative to the handlebar 64 and an increasingly larger restoring force is exerted on the lever 53.
  • the strengths of the springs 59, 65 are to be coordinated with one another in accordance with the desired cover opening curve.
