Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vehicle for transporting waste materials according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the collection container is now moved, be it by completely setting it down or by swiveling it up to tip over, then the springback pushes some of the waste material out of the filling opening of the collection container, which then falls onto the vehicle frame and onto the floor, so that additional Cleaning work is required.
  • the invention is based on the object of designing a vehicle of the generic type in such a way that "clean" operation is ensured.
  • This object is achieved with the means of the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • This arrangement offers the possibility of transporting the collection container completely closed, both empty and filled.
  • the empty collecting container is picked up from behind by the vehicle or the vehicle travels under the collecting container, which is raised on legs, so that the filling opening is docked onto the opening with simultaneous sealing. This ensures that when inserting the Waste from the press in the collecting container nothing can come out.
  • the filled collection container is released from the vehicle in reverse order.
  • a movement device is arranged on the vehicle, which is connected to a drive and by means of which the collecting container can be moved essentially horizontally when it is picked up and set down, at least over part of the way to dock with the sealing means.
  • Such a movement device has the advantage that the collection container is guided in relation to the sealing means at least for the part of the pick-up and settling movement and thus a defined system with a movement that can be limited independently of the vehicle movement is ensured.
  • the movement device can be formed by a carriage which can be displaced in the longitudinal direction on the vehicle and which is provided with vertically aligned pins which can engage in corresponding recesses in the collecting container, so that the collecting container is placed on the vehicle via lifting devices or the like and then moved to its final position for docking.
  • This system is particularly suitable for those cases in which the receptacles to be picked up and put down are on legs, so that they can be driven under by the vehicle and then picked up or put down via corresponding in-vehicle devices for changing the vehicle height.
  • this movement device can be formed via a gate-like angle arm with a hook, which is arranged around the filling opening and can be pivoted and / or moved longitudinally on the vehicle.
  • the particular advantage of the hook lift is that the collection container can also be emptied by tilting it if it is locked at the rear end.
  • the recording process is designed in such a way that the last part of the movement of the sensor and the first part of the movement when settling is caused by a displacement in the vehicle's longitudinal direction takes place, so that a perfect docking or loosening of the filling opening of the container to the discharge opening of the hopper is ensured.
  • the discharge opening of the hopper on the vehicle is assigned a functional device which is provided with a drive and has driver means which can be connected to a corresponding catch of a closure door for the filling opening which is guided vertically on the collecting container.
  • the particular advantage of this arrangement is that no drive devices are required on the collecting container itself, but that they are connected to the vehicle and can be driven via the energy supply of the vehicle.
  • the drive can be formed here, for example, by a piston-cylinder unit connected to the driver or also by a circulation chain connected to the driver, which can be driven by a hydraulic motor.
  • Appropriate drivable actuation elements are expediently also provided on the functional device, via which actuation and / or closure means of a locking plate on a channel-like protective cover in the collecting container can be acted on. With a corresponding coupling of the controls, a fully automatic operating sequence can be achieved in which the functional sequences are linked together.
  • the functional device is connected to the movement device.
  • the discharge opening has a tubular extension which extends through the filling opening arranged in the lower region of the end wall of the collecting container into the collecting container, and that sealing means are provided which extend over at least part of the circumference of the tubular container Extension.
  • a channel-like protective cover in the interior of the collecting container, in particular if it is provided with a preferably pivotable locking plate, as specified in different configurations in claims 8 to 11, it is possible to achieve a problem-free detachment of the collecting container from the vehicle without something can fall out of the container.
  • the collecting container is pulled off a piece of the press, but only to the extent that the tube-like extension is still with its free end in the filling opening.
  • the locking plate is swiveled in. This can be done from above, from below or through two partial locking plates arranged in the manner of a door wing on the side walls of the protective cover.
  • the locking plate can also be designed to be releasably connectable to the front surface of the press ram on the one hand and to the channel-like protective cover on the other. The locking plate remains connected to the press ram during filling. After completion of the filling, the locking plate is inserted into the channel-like protective cover, locked there and at the same time released from the ram and the latter moved back again. The lock door can then also be closed.
  • locking means are provided on the carrier for fixed coupling of the collecting container.
  • Such locking means which can be formed, for example, by pins and / or hooks arranged on the carrier, which engage in corresponding recesses in the front region of the collecting container, is achieved in that the carrier on the one hand and the collecting container on the other hand form an essentially rigid unit, so that practically no, at least no disruptive relative movements between the collecting container and the discharge opening of the hopper connected to it can occur and thus a perfect contact of the sealant is ensured.
  • the locking means are expediently provided with actuating means, for example in the form of hydraulic cylinders or the like. Furthermore, the weight of the coupled collecting container absorbs part of the tilting moment in the area of the articulated fastening point, which relieves the load on the vehicle chassis in this area.
  • the drive means for the press of the hopper are also mounted on the carrier and the press ram is guided. Since the carrier must be designed as a practically rigid unit anyway, this measure results in a tilt-free guidance of the press ram.
  • the carrier is designed as a box construction, the hopper and the side walls being part of the supporting carrier construction.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that, while saving weight, a rigid construction is created which can absorb both the load during the operation of the swivel arm pair and the load when the press is actuated.
  • the hopper runs upward into side walls which extend essentially beyond the driver's cab to the front area.
  • a cross-member for supporting, guiding and locking the collecting container is arranged, which is pivotably mounted about a pivot axis running in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, preferably the pivot axis with the articulation axis of the third Attachment point of the carrier is aligned.
  • the collecting container is thus also connected to the vehicle chassis in a three-point support, the two front support points being formed by the fixed support points of the carrier on the vehicle chassis, while the third support point is formed by the swivel bearing of the crossbar. That is the crossbar supporting joint can also be formed by a ball joint.
  • At least one positioning spring element which is effective between the crossbeam and the vehicle chassis is provided. This ensures that in the unloaded state, the crossbar, which is provided with guide rollers and / or locking elements for the collecting container, is aligned horizontally with respect to the vehicle chassis, so that when the container is picked up or driven under, its bottom rails can engage precisely in the guide rollers .
  • the vehicle shown in Fig. 1 for receiving and transporting waste materials is provided with a lowered driver's cab 1, so that a larger free space is available above the driver's cab.
  • a collecting container 2 is also releasably arranged on the vehicle and is fastened by means of pins or closures 3.
  • the container 2 can be removed from the vehicle in different ways after loosening the closures 3. This can either be done in that the collecting container 2 has extendable downward supports, shown in more detail in FIG. 8, so that the vehicle, which is equipped with a device for lowering, can drive away from the raised collecting container after lowering.
  • the recording then takes place in reverse order, as will be explained with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11.
  • hook lift through which a collected container is first moved horizontally a short distance backwards and then pushed further back by pivoting the lift hook so that the vehicle, as soon as the The collecting container touches the ground with its rear edge, can move forward with further swiveling of the lift hook and can place the collecting container on the ground. An empty collection container is picked up in the same way.
  • hook lift constructions are known and their construction need not be explained in more detail here.
  • the arm carrying the hook must, however, be designed in the form of a gate so that it engages around the discharge opening of the hopper.
  • Another possibility is to provide the vehicle with a so-called tipping bridge, which is equipped with a cable winch, so that after releasing the lock and again moving the collecting container in the horizontal direction to the rear, the tipping bridge is pivoted up and the collecting container is used with the aid of Cable winch can be lowered over the inclined tipping bridge until the rear edge of the collecting container touches the ground again and the vehicle can drive forward while lowering until the collecting container finally rests on the ground. The recording is done in reverse.
  • a tipping bridge makes it possible, if a hydraulic lifting device is provided instead of a cable winch, to place the collecting container vertically on its rear face instead of when it is set down on its bottom surface. For this it is only necessary, when swiveling up and simultaneously lowering the collecting container, to pivot the tipping bridge into the 90 ° position as soon as the lower rear edge of the collecting container stands on the floor. The vehicle then reverses accordingly. The recording takes place in reverse order.
  • the rear end wall 4 of the collecting container 2 is designed in the usual way as a lockable flap, so that the contents of the collecting container can be emptied by tipping over after opening the lock.
  • the collecting container can also be designed so that the front end wall 5 is designed as an emptying flap and can be folded up completely for emptying.
  • a filling opening 6 is provided on the front end wall 5 in the lower region, which can be closed via a door 7 attached to its outside, for example a vertically displaceable and lockable sliding door.
  • a press is arranged in the space between the driver's cab 1 and the end wall 5 of the collecting container 2, which has a hydraulic press cylinder 8 and a press ram 9, which is shown here in dashed lines in the press position.
  • the press also has a hopper 10, the discharge opening is formed by a tubular extension 11 which is dimensioned such that it protrudes through the filler opening 6 of the collecting container 2. If waste is now thrown into the hopper 10 when the ram 9 is retracted, it can be pushed into the collecting container 2 via the ram 9 through the tubular extension 11 of the discharge opening of the hopper 10.
  • the tubular extension is assigned a channel-like protective cover 66 in the collecting container, around which the edge of the filling opening, into which the extension 11 is inserted.
  • This allows not only the arrangement of seals that seal the gap between the extension 11 and the protective cover 66 at least over part of the circumference, but also the arrangement of an additional locking flap inside the collecting container, in order to release part of the container contents when the collecting container 2 is released to prevent.
  • a swiveling flap 12 extending over the width of the filling opening can also be arranged above the filling opening 6 and is dimensioned such that it rests on this when the extension 11 is inserted. If the collection container 2 is now withdrawn, the flap 12 pivots down and covers the upper area of the filling opening 6 and secures it against falling out of the container contents until the door 7 is closed.
  • the hopper 10 runs upwards into side walls 13 which extend essentially beyond the driver's cab 1 into the front area.
  • the front side wall is not shown to simplify the illustration.
  • the upper edges 14 of both side walls are provided with a guide for a sliding and preferably windable cover 15, so that the space above the cab and the press can be completely closed during driving. Via a sliding drive 16, for example a winding device, this space can then be opened by pulling back the cover 15.
  • the end 17 of the guides 14 which is adjacent to the winding device 16 is expediently designed in such a way that it can be pivoted up when the cover is withdrawn, as shown in broken lines.
  • this increases the free space required for the swiveling and pouring process, as described in more detail below, and on the other hand, however, covers the opening of the hopper 10 to a certain extent, so that, for example, the entry of rain largely into the hopper during rainy weather is prevented. If the cover 15 is withdrawn completely, an additional cover plate must be provided for shielding.
  • the vehicle described with reference to FIG. 1 is now designed for changing the collecting container 2 in such a way that the collecting container 2 is provided with downwardly extendable supports, not shown here, the vehicle itself for releasing the container after the closures 3 have been opened can be lowered by a small amount and can thus move out from under the container.
  • the vehicle has a slide 18 provided with a hydraulic cylinder as a drive, which on the vehicle has a displacement path of approximately 50 to 100 cm is slidably mounted, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the carriage 18 carries the front closure 3, which is designed as a driver.
  • the vehicle can travel below it in a lowered state in order to receive an elevated collecting container 2 until the front closing element on the collecting container 2 is approximately over the closure 3 of the carriage 18 is. Then the vehicle is raised so that the closure 3 engages in the closure element on the collecting container 2 and the closure 3 is closed. Now the carriage 18 is moved forward so that the tubular extension 11 can enter the filling opening 6 when the door 7 is open. This process is shown in its sequence in FIGS. 8 to 11.
  • a functional device 19 is now provided on the vehicle, for example in the form of an endless chain or a toothed belt 20, which is provided with a driver 21.
  • the chain 20 can be driven via a drive 22, for example a hydraulic motor.
  • the functional device 19 with the slide 18 represents a structural unit, so that when a collecting container is received in the manner described above, the catch of the door 7 already engages in the driver 21, even if the closure 3 connected to the carriage 18 is locked. The door 7 can then be opened before the collection container 2 is moved by the carriage in the direction of the tubular extension 11 of the press.
  • Corresponding actuatable and drivable actuating elements for the actuating and closing means of a locking plate arranged in the collecting container can also be arranged on the functional device.
  • the structural component usual for such a system for horizontal displacement until final locking replaces the slide 18 described above.
  • the lift hook is correspondingly frame-shaped, so that the tubular extension 11 of the press 7 is encompassed on its outside in the operating state.
  • the functional device can be in the angled, i.e. part of the lift hook pointing upward in the operating state.
  • a device 23 for receiving and emptying a waste container 24 is now shown and described in connection with the vehicle described above. All elements which have been explained in detail above and are not necessary for the explanation of the function of the device 23 have been omitted in FIG. 3 for reasons of simpler illustration.
  • the device 23 is formed by a pair of swivel arms 25, the swivel arms of which are arranged parallel to one another and at a distance from one another which corresponds approximately to the width of the driver's cab 1.
  • the pair of swivel arms 25 is arranged on a support 27 with a swivel bearing 26 in the front area above the cab 1.
  • the pair of swivel arms 25 is provided with a swivel drive which is designed such that the swivel arm can be swiveled over an angle of approximately 180 ° from the lower receiving position shown into the broken upper rest position 25 '.
  • the swivel drive can, for example, by one or more hydraulic piston-cylinder units are formed, the required pivoting angle being able to be achieved via corresponding lever arrangements. This will be shown in more detail in FIGS. 4 to 6. It is also expedient to design the swivel drive in the form of a so-called hydraulic swivel motor.
  • two telescopically nested shaft-piston elements with wide helical teeth are hydraulically axially displaced. The axial movement is converted into a rotary movement by means of an internal toothing which is fixed to the housing and which interacts with the toothing of the shaft.
  • the pair of swivel arms 25 is now connected to a guide means 28 which carries a receiving and tilting device 29 for the waste container 24.
  • the guide means 28 is designed in such a way that the waste container 24 remains aligned approximately vertically during the pivoting path extending beyond the driver's cab 1, namely until the pair of pivot arms has been pivoted up into the fully extended emptying position 25 ′′.
  • the receiving and tilting device carrying the waste container 24 is pivoted into its emptying position via its own tilting drive, not shown here in greater detail, for example a hydraulic piston-cylinder arrangement mounted on the guide means, so that the container content is poured into the hopper 10 Press 7 can occur.
  • the representation of the device 23 in three different positions of its swivel path reveals that the waste container 24 is swiveled with its guide means between the pair of swivel arms already when it is picked up and over the entire swivel path, so that the necessary free space is practically over the free end 30 of the two swivel arms is limited, so this area is not significantly exceeded at any time neither by the swivel arm pair nor by the container.
  • the representation in FIG. 3 also shows that the free space required by the device 23 during operation only slightly exceeds the height predetermined by the upper edge of the collecting container 2, so that a clearance profile of less than 4.3 m can be maintained.
  • Fig. 3 also shows that in the rest position 25 'shown in dashed lines, the device 23 can be pivoted overall within the space specified by the side walls 13 above the cab 1. This makes it possible, as already described above with reference to FIG. 1, for the pure driving operation to completely cover the device 23 after the cover 15 has been closed.

  • the carriage 18 is displaced via a piston-cylinder unit 57 fastened horizontally to the vehicle.
  • 11 shows the vehicle which is ready for driving and ready for use, the device 23 for receiving and emptying waste containers being indicated only by the pivot bearing 26 for the sake of simplicity.
  • waste containers 24 of various designs and sizes can be accommodated. It is also possible to hang several small waste containers next to one another on the receiving device and then empty them at the same time.
  • the vehicle also allows use in so-called bag removal.
  • a large-volume receptacle is then attached to the receptacle here, into which the bags are then dropped.
  • Short distances can also be covered with the pair of swivel arms removed, as the driver's view is not blocked.
  • a vehicle designed in this way has the further advantage that the collecting container 2 is a bare steel structure and that no drives are arranged on the collecting container 2 itself. Therefore, no connection means for an energy supply are to be provided here. All actuation means including their associated energy supply are connected to the vehicle. This reduces the costs and the susceptibility to repairs for the collecting container and also allows the handling on the landfill, in particular the dumping, to be carried out with a special landfill vehicle. The collection containers can thus be parked without supervision.
  • FIG. 12 schematically shows an embodiment of a locking plate 67 with which a closure, preferably an additional closure, of the filling opening 6 is possible.
  • a channel-like protective cover 66 is provided in the interior of the collecting container 2, which protrudes into the interior as an extension of the filling opening 6.
  • the locking plate 67 is preferably pivotably pivoted downwards.
  • the locking plate 67 is provided with actuating and / or locking means 68 which can be actuated from the outside of the container, for example via the functional device 19.
  • the locking plate 67 is also pivoted up when the closure door is opened, as shown in FIG. 12.
  • a lock is released via the functional device 19 when the ram 9 is withdrawn. so that the locking plate 67 folds down.
  • the locking plate 67 is then pressed into its end position. Residual amounts of waste are pressed out of the channel-like protective cover 66 into the collecting container.
  • the ram 9 is then withdrawn so that the collecting container can be moved back without any residual waste quantities falling out before the door 7 is closed; this is shown in broken lines in FIG.
  • the locking plate 67 can also be divided into two parts and can be designed to be pivotable about a vertical axis from the side walls of the protective cover 66 into the opening cross section. With a corresponding design of the locking plate, in particular with sufficient sealing, the arrangement of the locking plate for closing the filling opening can also be sufficient, so that the arrangement of the closing door 7 described in FIG. 2 on the collecting container can be dispensed with.
  • the protective cover 66 is provided, at least with the final length of its bottom surface, with a slight inclination falling into the interior of the collecting container.
  • the free space 69 under the protective cover can serve as a collecting space for leachate. If the front end wall 5 is also designed as an emptying flap for the collection container, no residues can accumulate in this area.
  • the embodiments according to the invention of coupling the discharge opening of the press with the collecting container to be filled can be used for all vehicles which are provided with a refuse compacting device which is assigned a collecting container which can be detached from the vehicle.
