Definitions

  • the invention relates to a baler for compacting loose material, preferably of cardboard, in which the filling shaft is filled in so-called rear feed, or a lifting / tilting unit for a baler.
  • baler eg a channel baler after the EP 2 292 417 A2 , according to the preamble of claim 1, charged from the side, in the other from the so-called rear of the baler.
  • balers in particular of balers with horizontally operating pressing member, which are also referred to as horizontal balers
  • the feed should be at least semi-automatic, but if possible fully automatic, that is to say with less personnel expenditure, as well as less investment costs and / or reduced consumption costs.
  • a garbage collection vehicle is known, with a device for temporary locking and automated panning of refuse collection containers for their emptying into the garbage collection vehicle into it, but this device is not readily usable on balers.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to develop balers, mainly horizontal design, so that the material-technical effort for the production of a baler with rear feed is further reduced, also should as possible also the operating and consumption costs, such as the operation and / or the area required to be lowered, in particular by an improved lifting / tilting unit for a baler.
  • the insertion holder has two fork-shaped parallel opposing holding parts, which are fixed to the frame connected to a rotatably mounted about the pivot axis pivoting part.
  • the container is provided with retaining elements which correspond to the geometry of the holding parts on the insertion support, in such a way that the container is guided during insertion and removal by means of the holding parts and held during the pivoting of the holding parts.
  • the holding parts are advantageously positioned so that the insertion opening for the container is spatially located next to the operating device for the baler, said operating device also includes the controls for the lifting / tilting unit.
  • the insertion of the container into the insertion opening of the insertion bracket is thus carried out here of one of the side areas of the balers and not - as in known devices - from the rear of the baler ago.
  • the pivoting part and the pivot drive are arranged on the side facing away from the insertion opening and the operating device side of the baler.
  • a mechanism for checking the presence of the container in the insert holder comprises distance measuring or testing means which allow the evaluation of the actual distance between the container and a reference position in the pivoting part.
  • a proximity sensor is provided and coupled to the operating device so that the triggering of the pivoting movement is possible only in the presence and correct positioning of the container in the insertion holder.
  • the baler is preferably designed for use in connection with containers in the form of lattice cars.
  • This new balers is characterized in particular by the fact that the inventive lifting / tilting unit is suitable due to the orthogonal orientation of the pivot axis relative to the feed direction for the bale and the direction of gravity for a Heckbeschickung and also configured such that a loading of the baler by lattice wagon, such they are common in wholesale markets, can take place.
  • the presence of the bin by distance gauge or proximity switch during swing is additionally monitored. This also ensures that the lifting / tilting unit can only be operated and operated when the container is docked.
  • 1a shows this baler 1 in a side view
  • 1b shows ) in a plan view.
  • the lifting / tilting unit 4 of the new baler 1 is designed for pivoting the container 5 about a pivot axis A, which is aligned both perpendicular to the direction of gravity S and perpendicular to the feed direction V.
  • a pivot axis A which is aligned both perpendicular to the direction of gravity S and perpendicular to the feed direction V.
  • insert holder 7 For coupling and uncoupling of the container 5 to the lifting / tilting unit 4 is a (indicated by a dimensioned by arrows Drawing area extending) insert holder 7 is present, which via a pivot member 8 with a hydraulic cylinder 6 (see. Fig. 3 to Fig. 6 ) is connected as a pivot drive.
  • the insert holder 7 has two parallel holding parts 9, which are arranged fixed to the frame on the pivot member 8.
  • the holding parts 9 form with a partial section of the pivoting part 8 a fork shape.
  • the container 5 is provided with holding elements 10 which correspond to the geometry of the holding parts 9 so that the container 5 is guided during insertion and removal by means of the holding parts 9 and held and supported by the holding parts 9 during pivoting.
  • the design can also be chosen so that the holding parts 9 are adapted to the geometry of the holding elements 10.
  • the filled container 5 is inserted manually in the direction R1, that is from the side, in the insertion holder 7 and after pivoting upward in the emptying position and back swinging into the coupling position by manually pushing in the direction R2 from the insertion bracket 7 and thus decoupled from the baler 1.
  • the hydraulic cylinder 6 is connected via a drive circuit, not shown in the drawing, to an operating device 11.
  • the operating device 11 preferably comprises in addition to the Controls for the entire baler 1 and the controls for the lifting / tilting unit. 4
  • a particular advantage of the arrangement according to the invention results from the fact that the opening for the insertion of the container 5 is positioned on the insertion support 7 spatially at a short distance next to the operating device 11.
  • the baler 1 is thus ergonomically advantageous.
  • the pivoting part 8 and its drive, the hydraulic cylinder 6, are arranged on the insertion bracket 7 and the operating device 11 side facing away from the baler 1, which is in terms of ergonomics and especially in terms of occupational safety advantage.
  • the lifting / tilting unit 4 is equipped with a control mechanism either in the form of a distance measuring device which measures the distance between the container 5 and the pivoting part 8 during insertion of the Container 5 in the insertion bracket 7 qualitatively assessed in terms of reaching a given as a prerequisite for pivoting concrete distance measure, or in the form of a test agent that quantitatively assesses this distance in the sense of the mere presence of the container 5 in the position, as a prerequisite for Panning is given.
  • a proximity sensor 12 is provided and coupled to the operating device 11 and the control for the hydraulic cylinder 6 so that the commissioning of the lifting / tilting unit 4 is possible only in the presence of the container 5 in the insertion holder 7.
  • a mechanism for locking the container 5 in the insertion bracket 7 can be controlled.
  • a locking mechanism for example, electromagnetic coupling elements 13, which are coupled to the operating device 11 and the control for the hydraulic cylinder 6 so that the commissioning of the lifting / tilting unit 4 only in the presence of the container 5 in the insertion bracket 7 and turned lock is possible.
  • Fig. 2 shows a concretely executed lifting / tilting unit 4 of the baler 1 according to the invention as a single module.
  • a container 5 On the Representation of a container 5 has been omitted here for reasons of clarity, whereby the design of the insertion holder 7 is clearly visible.
  • Fig. 2 As well as in the following figures for the same components always the same reference numerals according to the reference numerals used, so that a description of the relevant modules for each figure is not required again.
  • Fig. 3 shows the lifting / tilting unit 4 with docked container 5, wherein the container 5, for example in the form of a lattice carriage, is in the coupling position.
  • Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 show the lifting / tilting unit 4 in moment depictions during pivoting of a docked container 5 in various constellations and perspectives.
  • Fig. 6 shows the constellation of the lifting / tilting unit 4 on reaching the emptying position of the container 5 above the feed tube after its pivoting.
  • Fig. 8 shows the insertion bracket 7 with already partially inserted container 5. In this situation, the correct position of the container 5 in the insertion bracket 7 is not yet reached.
  • the proximity sensor 12 consequently blocks the operation of the locking mechanism and also the start-up of the lifting / tilting unit 4.
  • Fig. 9 the container 5 is completely inserted into the insertion holder 7.
  • the proximity sensor 12 confirms the presence of the container 5 in the rack 7, the container 5 is then locked, and the readiness to start the lifting / tilting unit 4 is signaled to either the operator or automatically initiated.
  • an embodiment of the baler 1 and the lifting / tilting unit 4 in the context of the invention in which the holding parts 9 indeed also parallel as already described and record the container 5 on two opposite sides of its circumference leadership, the pivoting part. 8 However, is formed so that a portion of the pivoting member 8 engages under the container 5 so that it is raised during lifting and tilting of the under-engaging pivot portion and supported during pivoting, while the holding parts 9 and the holding elements 10 have only holding and guiding function.
  • a further embodiment consists in the fact that the two holding parts 9 of the insertion holder 7 are designed to have different lengths. As a result, the insertion of a container 5 is further facilitated.
