DE202005004144U1 - Dirt container for cleaning vehicle, has individual components e.g. water tank, that are predominantly connected by glue lines, each having width of fifty millimeters, where components are prefabricated - Google Patents

Abstract

The container (2) has individual components e.g. water tanks, that are predominantly connected by glue lines, each having a width of 50 millimeters, where the container is divided into functional areas. Each water tank (7) acts as a supporting unit. The components are prefabricated and are provided in the container as welded units. The components are painted and are provided with a door.

Description

The invention relates to a dirt container ( 2 ) for a cleaning vehicle ( 1 ), which are preferably used for cleaning operations in road, parking and rail cleaning and sweepers, refuse collection vehicles and any cleaning systems where - functionally necessary - larger dirt container are used.

to Production of containers or for joining sheet metal elements, the joining technique offers a size Number of ways like welding, screwing, Folding, soldering, Rivets etc.

The known joining method are not suitable in the same way for the different fields of application, Workshop and environmental conditions, manufacturing processes and for the zu connecting materials.

So is there, for example, welding and soldering usually only for metals suitable under certain conditions. When screwing or riveting is the visual impression by protruding screw or rivet heads impaired these being additional cause a risk of injury. By welding or Although soldering will be established firm connections, wherein the connection point as a rule not visually impaired is, however, the effort resulting from the work procedures and the necessary precautions not inconsiderable post-processing require, as the material very often warps, the surfaces impaired and only by big ones Effort to repair can be restored. Especially in surface-finished or coated sheets, the surface layer is exposed to heat destroyed or at least so impaired that one elaborate rework is required.

finishes, Plastic coatings, enamels, galvanizing or primers are at the welding or solder joint destroyed or have to even be removed beforehand. Thereafter, the junction must be ground and again with the desired Layer be provided. However, in this case, e.g. a rust protection layer no longer on internal surfaces, for example, in spot welding, be attached, which is often the cause of incipient corrosion.

In The literature already has several containers for sweepers, which are used for cleaning of roads or parking spaces or large areas are used, described. The container is acted upon by a fan unit with negative pressure and take that over Feeder brush or disc brushes together by means of dirt a suction element.

Around to ensure effective cleaning or dirt pick-up, will be during the Cleaning phase added to water, taken from an entrained water tank becomes. The water is here in the broom and possibly. Also sprayed in the front of the sweeper by water jets, causing a dust deposit is achieved.

Of the under the rubbish bin located water tank is from the rubbish bin through a common container wall separated. However, the idea underlying this publication lies in the water tank for self-picking sweepers to improve so that a individual design of the size of the water tank is possible and possibly necessary maintenance or repair work is minimized can be.

Of the water tank owns this additional reinforcing ribs and must be rigid accomplished become. about those cited by the inventor joining techniques There are no indications here.

at another known solution becomes a rubbish bin for self-absorbed Sweeper described where the easy accessibility the necessary tools as well as the simple emptying of the garbage container in the inventive center should stand. Hereby met the embodiment of the refuse container in conjunction with the Emptying flap several functions.

To the one serves to, the emptying opening of the garbage container at cover a mission trip and thus by the fan unit generated negative pressure in the rubbish container can act. Farther serves the emptying flap for holding implement carriers, on the one for one Mission and the resulting work required tools housed become. Ultimately, these devices should be protected against theft, damage as well as corrosion due to environmental influences. To solve this Requirements is the rear end of the implement chamber in several work areas divided, which are each provided with a chamber door. Notes on the concept of the dirt container according to the invention are also not to be found here.

The invention is based on the object of a joining seam for connecting prefabricated sheet metal elements for dirt container ( 2 ), in which the abutting surfaces, regardless of their angular position firmly, safely and tightly connected. No heat distortion and resulting dimensional inaccuracy as well Buckling effects occur, which require expensive reworking (bulging, filling, painting) and prevent corrosion on hard-to-reach inner surfaces. The execution of the joining work should be realized by workshop-usual coworkers waiving highly qualified welders.

These Task is inventively characterized solved, that the individual assemblies predominantly by means of adhesive seams are connected, wherein - based on the inventive method - Can use prefabricated single sheet metal assemblies and no longer the welded construction each in a total piece must manufacture.

advantageously, the individual assemblies are designed as edged or welded parts and are - to the Sewn - to one Unit glued.

This brings the advantage that the Water tank acts as a supporting unit, prefabricated from one piece is, inserted and glued to the entire component.

To an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the individual Assemblies, such as z. Front wall, bulkhead, water tank, rear frame, Side parts, covers, etc. at the associated contact or Touch surfaces together glued, wherein in an embodiment according to the invention the adhesive seam width 50 mm.

by virtue of a significant advantage of the solution according to the invention are the pre- and / or pre-painted Subassemblies without necessary post-processing, bulging or finishlacking together.

To a significant variant of the invention the entire system consists of stocked and non-end product related Parts and provides due to the adhesive connection air and water tightness for sure.

The Advantages of the invention this solution Ensure a strong cost reduction, as basically up the base is made of stocked items, with by the adhesive solution according to the invention a significant reduction of container vibrations is realized, which e.g. the use of cleaning systems also possible at night in residential areas.

By be the joining solution of the invention saved about 35% of the working time, as an afterthought Denting and filling for the production of a salable surface accounts. in addition comes the renouncement of expensive welding specialists as well as the omission problematic heat distortion in stainless steel containers.

Some solutions according to the invention are shown in the drawings. Show it:
