Definitions

  • the invention relates to a motor-driven refuse collection vehicle with containers designed as interchangeable containers with detachable couplings for receiving the refuse, with a bulk space provided with a pouring opening, with a lifting device for receiving the refuse containers to be emptied, for transporting them in their emptying position above the pouring opening and for depositing them and with a conveying and pressing device for transporting the garbage emptied into the filling opening into the container through its filling opening provided with a closing device.
  • a refuse collection vehicle of this type known from the unpublished DE-OS 34 20 058 is provided with a lifting and tipping device which has a lifting arm which can be pivoted about a transverse axis of the chassis and which carries at its free end a base rail which is parallel to the transverse axis and approximately between its receiving area is pivotable below and in front of the driver's cab and its dumping area above and behind the driver's cab and is provided with extendable and / or pivotable devices for gripping or coupling to the provided waste containers.
  • This known refuse collection vehicle common household refuse containers or even larger 1.1 m 3 refuse containers can be detected and emptied overhead by pivoting them over the driver's cab into the pouring opening. With the well-known refuse collection vehicle, household waste disposal can thus be simplified and rationalized considerably.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a refuse collection vehicle of the type specified at the outset, with which the large refuse containers provided can be easily emptied into the pouring opening and set down again.
  • this object is achieved in that above or in the area of the pouring opening provided with claws, pegs or the like are movable to the closed position, is provided and that each bottom half with a coupling part for positive engagement of the claws, pins or the like. is provided, which is displaceably guided on the support frame and is provided with a drive in such a way that it forcibly gives the opening and closing movements to the bottom halves.
  • this forms a particularly advantageous system for the collection of large amounts of waste accumulated in large waste containers and for the rational removal of this waste by emptying into container-provided waste collection vehicles with the waste container adapted to this.
  • the refuse collection vehicle according to the invention with the adapted large waste container extends the economical waste collection system known from DE-OS 34 20 058 to large waste containers, that is to say upwards.
  • the refuse collection vehicle according to the invention can also be designed such that the driver can automatically pick up, empty and set down the large waste container provided with the gripping or coupling device of the lifting device, so that one-man operation is also possible with the refuse collection vehicle according to the invention.
  • the large container for which independent protection is claimed regardless of the special design of the refuse collection vehicle, preferably consists of two shell or trough-shaped container halves which are pivotably mounted on their upper, inner edge regions around a common transverse axis lying in their vertical central plane, at least one of which Half of the container is provided with extensions of its side walls that overlap the side wall of the other half of the container in such a way that there is essentially no gap between the side walls when the opening movement is opened, with at least one filler lid closing at least one half of the container at the top being mounted on the transverse axis and with springs or unlockable means are provided which hold the container halves in their closed position.
  • the filling opening usually also serves for emptying, so that they have to be kept very large and closed with large lids that are difficult and cumbersome for the user to handle.
  • the large waste container according to the invention takes into account the fact that handling is made easier for the user if only smaller filling openings which are closed by lighter hinged lids are present, and yet it is ensured that this can be quickly and safely emptied with a large opening cross section, since the emptying opening is significantly larger than the filler opening.
  • the bottom plates or bottom plates closing the container halves run obliquely towards one another in the closed position, forming an inner obtuse angle, angled support brackets being connected to the container halves, the lower legs of which in the closed position form the support feet.
  • the floor panels running at an angle to one another ensure that when the shell-shaped container halves are opened, the garbage can escape quickly and easily without additional shaking movements, because the floor panels form oblique slides.
  • the forced opening and closing of the container halves can be effected in a simple manner in that pins are guided on the support frame and engage in corresponding bores in the support feet formed by the legs.
  • the filler opening of the collecting vehicle is expediently bordered on the sides by plates, so that even during emptying it is ensured that rubbish cannot be spread by blowing under the influence of the wind.
  • the claws, pins or the like expediently move on a circular path which is determined by their pivoting radius around the transverse axis of the container.
  • the Claws or pins the container even during the emptying process, without the transverse axis coupled to the lifting device executing a movement.
  • the lifting device consists of a rotatably mounted crane-like boom with gripping bracket, which is provided with a control device such that the lifting and placement movements on the claws, pins or the like, at least after coupling the large waste container. and the subsequent weaning movement is carried out automatically.
  • the automatic system can have a computer as a control unit, in which the coordinates of the gripping or coupling device of the lifting device are stored in such a way that, after the large waste container has been coupled, the lifting and placement movement on the filling opening and the subsequent lowering movement are automatically controlled without the driver's intervention.
  • the refuse collection vehicle of the swap body refuse collection system consists of a truck chassis with a short wheelbase to give the vehicle good maneuverability when collecting refuse.
  • the driver's cab 1 is fastened in front of the front axle 2 to the base frame 3 of the chassis, so that it projects with its lower edge into the area of the plane of the wheel axles or even lower and gives the driver a good view of waste containers standing next to the road.
  • the truck chassis expediently has two steered front axles in order to obtain an optimal axle load distribution.
  • the dumping unit 4 is arranged on the chassis with the vehicle frame 3 such that it is arranged between the driver's cab 1 and the container 5.
  • the pouring unit 4 consists of the pouring chamber 4A with the pouring opening 6 located above it and the conveying and pressing device 7.
  • the containers 5 can be locked to the chassis, and the chassis can additionally be provided with a tilting frame in order to accommodate the containers which are a rear hinged lid can be provided, if necessary, can also be emptied by tilting.
  • the containers On their front side, the containers have filler openings which can be closed by slides or flaps and are located at the level of the bulk space 5. The one in the Rubble 4A emptied garbage is conveyed and compressed through the filling opening into the container 5 by means of the conveying and pressing device 7.
  • a support structure 8 for the large waste containers 9 placed thereon is mounted above the pouring opening 6.
  • the large garbage containers consist of two bowl-shaped or trough-shaped container halves 10, 11 which are pivotally mounted on their upper inner edges on the transverse axis 12, which is located at the top in the vertical central plane.
  • the transverse axis 12 has three functions: it is the axis of rotation for the two container halves, as is the common axis of rotation for the two lids 13 and 13A. In addition, it serves as a container receptacle for the gripping claws 21.
  • the side walls 14 of the bowl-shaped container halves are provided with approximately triangular projections 15 beyond the central plane, each of which overlaps the side walls 14 of the other container half in such a way that even when the container halves are unfolded between them form essentially no openings or gaps from which rubbish could escape in an undesirable manner.
  • the bottom plates 16 of the container halves 10 run obliquely towards one another and form an inner obtuse angle with one another in the closed state.
  • support brackets 17 are fastened, the legs of which are at an obtuse angle to one another.
  • the lower legs 18 lie in a horizontal plane and form the support feet for the latter.
  • the upper edge of the bowl-shaped container halves is formed by stiffening frames 19, on which the lids 13 and 13A rest in the closed state.
  • the upper transverse axis 12 is provided with projecting axle journals 20 for coupling the gripping claws 21 of the support bracket 22 of the lifting device 23.
  • bushings 24 are welded into bores, which form the receptacles for driving pins 25 onto which the large waste containers 9 are placed by the lifting device 13 for emptying them.
  • the pins 25 are protrudingly attached to carriages or guide bodies 26, which are displaceably guided in guides 27 of the supporting structure 8.
  • the carriages or guide bodies 26 are provided with drives which are coupled to one another and which move them symmetrically to the vertical longitudinal plane 28 of the refuse collection vehicle from one another and towards one another.
  • the guideways 27 are curved with the corresponding radius of the container halves 10, 11 about the upper transverse axis 12 in such a way that the upper transverse axis 12 does not perform any relative movement to the refuse collection vehicle during the opening and closing movement.
  • Fig. 2 the container placed on the pin 25 is shown in two positions, with solid contours in its closed position and with dashed contours in its open position.
  • the lifting and tilting device 23 consists of two articulated cantilever arms 30, 31 which are fastened on a turntable-like stage 32, which is arranged on the frame 34 above the driver's cab 1 so that it can rotate about a vertical axis.
  • the front boom part 31 is additionally provided with a telescopic part 33.
  • the rotation of the lifting and tilting device is carried out in the usual way by a hydraulic motor, while Swiveling and extending the boom hydraulic piston-cylinder units are provided.
  • Fig. 1 the lifting device is shown in three positions, namely after coupling it to a large waste container standing in front of the refuse collection vehicle, in a position in which the waste container is placed on the support structure opening above it and finally in its inactive, above position of the bulk room during the process of the refuse collection vehicle.
