Definitions

DE-A-2558433 describes a motor vehicle for urban refuses comprising a chassis, a collection bin on said chassis divided in at least two chambers separated from each other by a longitudinal wall, said chambers being opened at their rear ends and comprising discharging devices to unload the refuses, a common rear movable door closing simultaneosly the openings of said chambers, said door being provided with pushing means positioned at each chamber for pushing the collected refuses.
EP-A-257422 describes a motor vehicle for urban refuse collection comprising a bin divided in at least two different chambers for collecting different kinds of refuse.
the bin comprises a longitudinal separating wall dividing it into two chambers. More particularly it refers to a device to lift and rotate (and overturn) refuse containers even those divided into two collecting sections separated by a common wall.
An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a motor vehicle for urban refuse collection which enables the refuse to be sorted in a simple and reliable manner during its collection and to be kept separated even during its discharge.
Said figures show a motor vehicle 1 for urban refuse collection.
Said vehicle 1 is provided with a collection bin 2 divided longitudinally into two chambers 3 and 4.
Said chambers 3 and 4 are separated from each other by a wall 5 and are each provided with a usual expulsion cylinder 6.
Said chambers 3 and 4 can have identical or different volumes.
each chamber 3 and 4 is provided with its own door 3A and 4A respectively, the dimensions of which (in terms of width) correspond to those of said chambers.
one (3A) of the two doors 3A and 4A is shown in its open position for the discharge of the refuse collected in the chamber 3, while in Figures 2 and 3 said doors 3A and 4A are shown in their closed position.
hydraulic lifting devices 7 comprising cylinders 8 hinged to fixed parts 9 rigid with an upper part 10 of the collection bin 2, in each of which a piston 11 moves.
Each piston 11 is hinged at one end 12 to one end 13 of an arm which is hinged at its other end 15 to a fixed part 16 rigid with the doors 3A and 4A.
said fixed parts 9 and 16 are formed respectively from parallel flanges 17 and 18 connected together by pins 19 and 20.
said cylinders 8 can rotate about the pins 19 of the flanges 17 of the fixed parts 9, and the arms 14 can rotate about the pins 20 of the flanges 18 of the fixed parts 16 during the opening of the doors 3A and 4A.
two hydraulic lifting devices 7 are provided for the larger-dimension door 3A, whereas only one device 7 is provided for the smaller-dimension door 4A. This however is not binding for the purposes of the invention, as the number (one or two) of lifting devices 7 associated with the doors 3A and 4A can vary as the dimensions of these latter vary.
each door 3A and 4A there is also associated a loading and compacting member 21 of known type driven by hydraulic cylinder-piston systems.
hydraulic locking devices 23 comprising cylinders rigid with the bin 2 or with other fixed parts of the vehicle and housing movable pins which when the doors 3A and 4A are closed cooperate with elements of suitable shape (eg. of sleeve or eyelet form) rigid with the doors.
All the hydraulic devices provided on the vehicle form part of a hydraulic circuit comprising known members such as pumps and valves, together with bypass lines to enable the devices associated with each chamber 3 and 4 to be operated at different times, and in particular enable the two doors 3A and 4A to be opened (or closed) independently.
two parallel hydraulic circuits can be provided, acting on each group of devices (door raising-closing; expulsion cylinder; locking device) associated with each chamber 3 and 4 of the bin 2.
the door 3A is firstly opened to discharge the chamber 3. This is done by operating a suitable control such as a lever, which acts on the hydraulic circuit to release the pressure of the fluid present in the locking device 23 securing the door 3A to the bin 2, so making it possible to open it.
the lifting devices 7 associated with the door 3A in question now begin to operate, this operation being such as to initially lift the arms 14 so rotating them about the pins 20 of the fixed parts 16.
the pistons 11 of the devices 7 then begin to retract into their respective cylinders 8 to exert a pulling action on the door 3A, which rises from the bin 2 by rotating about the hinges 19A by which the door 3A is fixed to the upper ends 20A of the bin.
the chamber 4 of the bin 2 is discharged in the same manner after opening the door 4A, this discharge taking place either automatically following the first discharge or on receipt of a manual command.
expulsion cylinders 6 can be controlled manually, to allow possible compacting.
the refuse collection operator When the refuse has been totally discharged in its sorted batches, the refuse collection operator reoperates the pumps of the hydraulic circuit to return the expulsion cylinders to their rest state and reclose the doors 3A and 4A. At this point, by means of known devices provided in the hydraulic circuit, the pressure is discharged from the lifting devices 7 and cylinders 6 towards the locking devices 23 for the doors 3A and 4A, which now operate to secure these latter to the bin 2.
a refuse collection vehicle constructed in accordance with the present invention enables refuse to be stored during said collection and to be kept separated during discharge.
