Description

Device for container collection, applicable to garbage trucks.

Object of the invention

Device for collecting containers, applicable to garbage trucks.

Background of the invention

Several types have been known for years of trucks for the collection of garbage and waste that it empties into the truck box containers that are distributed through the streets of cities and towns.

There are different devices for collection and container loading, generally consisting of a crossbar that laterally presents two arms provided with the means of collecting the containers.

To get the correct coupling of the means of collection to the container requires personnel to approach the containers and place them between these arms to achieve their hitching and subsequent lifting and turning for unloading in the box from the truck.

Summary of the invention

It is the object of this invention to improve these devices for collecting containers in order to get its correct coupling to the container for its hitch dispensing with the performance of personnel.

To achieve this coupling is characteristic of this device the fact that the side arms are installed in sliding assembly on the crossbar. The arms are solidarity of two supports that by bushings-bearing slide along planned guides on the crossbar, and are driven by respective cylinders. With this arrangement the arms approach the sides of the container facilitating its correct coupling.

Also characteristic of this device is the fact that the arms understand the articulated assembly of operating levers on the lids of the containers, and of side support pivot retaining triggers container, the lever and the trigger of each arm being operated by a common mechanism.

These and other features will come off better than the detailed description that follows, to facilitate which It is accompanied by a sheet of drawings in which it has been represented a case study that is cited only by way of non-limiting example of the scope of the present invention.

Figure 3 shows in side elevation, partially sectioned, one of the side arms showing the detail of the mounting of the actuation lever on the covers of the containers, and the retaining trigger of the support pivots sides of said containers.

Detailed description

According to the drawings this device for Garbage container collection includes a crossbar (1) which at their ends are coupled, in sliding assembly, both lateral arms (2) and (3).

For sliding side arms (2)  and (3) on the crossbar (1), said arms are fixed to each other brackets (4) and (5) comprising the assembly of upper (6) and lower (7) bearing bushings (figure 2) that run along the guides (8) installed on the edges upper and lower of said crossbar (1). The supports (4) and (5) they are displaced by the action of two cylinders (9) and (10).

The arms (2) and (3) comprise the assembly articulated of paths levers (11) and (12) of action on the container lids and two triggers (13) and (14) container side support pivot retainers, when said pivots are engaged in the fittings (15) of said arms provided at the end of a downward oblique plane (16).

The arms (2) and (3) are hollow forming paths boxes where the drive mechanisms of said levers (11) and (12) and of said triggers (13) and (14), whose mechanisms (figure 3) comprise sensors (17), (18) and (19), a cylinder (20), a gear (21) and a return spring (22), a cam (24) which is coupled to the shaft (23) of said gear acts on the support (25) of the trigger (13).

The invention, within its essentiality, can be put into practice in other embodiments that differ only in detail from that indicated solely by way of example, which will also achieve the protection that collect. This device can therefore be made for collection of containers, applicable to garbage trucks, with the most appropriate media and materials and with the most accessories convenient, being able to replace the component elements for other technically equivalent, for all that remains included within the spirit of the claims.

Claims (3)

1. Device for the collection of containers, applicable to garbage collection trucks, which comprises a crossbar that laterally has two arms provided with the means for collecting the container, characterized in that the lateral arms are coupled in sliding assembly on the crossbar. 2. Device for the collection of containers, applicable to garbage collection trucks, according to claim 1, characterized in that the arms are integral with two supports which, by means of bearing bushings, slide along guides provided on the crossbar, being driven by respective cylinders. 3. Device for collecting containers, applicable to garbage collection trucks, according to claim 1, characterized in that the arms comprise the articulated assembly of operating levers on the lids of the containers, and of retaining triggers of the lateral support pivots of the container, the lever and the trigger of each arm being operated by a common mechanism.
