The collection container shown in the drawing is within the limits of a rectangular body with Standard dimensions, so that it is transported on a truck 1 (Fig. 1o) developed for the transport of so-called containers can be.

The collecting container has a collecting space 2 which extends over most of the length of the container (FIG. 1 and 2) and consists of three thin walls 3 which are reinforced at intervals by stiffening rings 4. Of the Collection space 2 has a pivoting door 5, which forms the rear wall of the container and with three hinges 6 on the rear end edge of the left side wall of the container is hinged. A locking device 7 holds the swing door 5 in the closed position with the rear end edge of the right side wall of the container.

The front part of the container is occupied by a compression chamber 8, which essentially consists of a funnel 9 and an underneath, longitudinally movable press slide Io.

Since the movable press slide 1o advances the waste to be pressed in the direction of the collecting space 2 , it is determined that the front end of the compression chamber 8 is the one to which the collecting space 2 adjoins.

As can be seen, the length of the compression chamber 8 is quite small in relation to the length of the collecting space 2.

The funnel 9 has three inclined walls, namely an inclined rear wall 11 and two inclined side walls 12, the connect to the vertical front wall of the collecting space 2 which is provided with an opening below the funnel. the Upper edges of the walls 11, 12 are approximately halfway up the container.

The press slide 1o shown in detail in Figures 4 to 7 and 9 consists of a hollow body 13 and a Apron 14. The hollow body 13 is rectangular and open to the rear. Its side walls are with Guide grooves 15 are provided, by means of which the press slide 1o along two guide rails 16 of the same cross section is performed, which are anchored to the solid side walls of the container. The front wall 17 of the press slide 1o, the the actual compression process takes place, runs essentially vertically, with between the front wall 17 of the press slide 1o and the front wall 19 of the collecting container, two power cylinders 18 by means of pivot pins 2o, are hinged. The pivot pins 2o are located near the side edges of the front wall 19 of the container, while the Hinge pins 21 are arranged in such a way in the central region of the front wall 17 of the press slide 1o that the power cylinders, viewed from above, cross, which of course means that they are in different horizontal planes.

The planar apron 14 is connected to the rear edge of the upper wall 23 of the hollow body by means of a hinge 22 13 connected. The free rear edge of the skirt 14 carries two guide rollers 24 which run in guide channels 25, which are attached to the side walls of the container. As can be seen, contain the guide channels 25 approximately in the Center holes 26 through which the axes for the rollers 24 through this and further into the assembly Apron 14 can be introduced.

By simultaneous actuation of the two power cylinders, the press slide 1o can switch between that shown in FIG retracted position and the advanced position shown in Fig. 7, being the position shown in Fig. The intermediate position shown passes through. In the withdrawn

Position of the press slide 1o, the skirt 14 extends from the hollow body 13 upwards and is in the immediate vicinity The vicinity of the front wall 19 of the container (Fig. 5), the power cylinders 18 being completely received by the hollow body 13. In the advanced position of the press slide 1o (Fig. 7), the skirt 14 extends in an extension of the upper wall 2 3 of the hollow body 13 to the rear, while the active front wall 17 of the hollow body 13 stands directly in front of the already mentioned opening of the collecting space 2.

As indicated in FIG. 8, a vertical protective sheet 9a can be provided on at least one side of the funnel 9 which is formed by an extension of the side wall of the collecting space 2.

The collecting container contains in the upper area at the front end of the collecting space 2 a hydraulic unit 27, which mainly from an oil tank 28, an electrically controlled distributor 29, an electric motor 3o for driving a non designated oil pump, various pressure relief or overflow valves and a distribution box 31 exists which switch boxes 32 located on both sides of the funnel 9 are connected. Each control box 32 contains:

- an on-button 33 with ignition lock,

- an emergency stop button 34,

- a signal lamp 35 to indicate that the collecting container is full,

- A socket 36 for connecting a power cord and

- a voltage control lamp 37.

Furthermore, the collecting container is on its outside with all necessary fittings for loading and unloading on the transport vehicle 1 (Fig. 1o) provided, for which purpose it has an eyelet 38 (Fig. 2) on its front wall, by means of which the container can be detected by the heel 4o of a lifting arm 41, with the

Help the container can be loaded in a known manner on the transport vehicle.

The mode of operation of the above-described collecting container is as follows:

The collecting container is automatic insofar as it is used to carry out the pressing process in the compression chamber 8 no transport vehicle required. The collecting container can Rather, be set up at any location, and only an electrical power supply is required from which a cable connection to the socket 36 is made.

In the rest state, the press slide 1o is in the retracted position. In this position, the User of the collecting container, the waste into the compression chamber 8 through the funnel 9 from behind or, if none Protective plate 9a is present, unload from the side.

Pressing the button 33 triggers a complete compaction cycle the end. As can be seen, the angle between the longitudinal axis of the collecting container and the power cylinders decreases 18 in the course of the forward movement of the press slide 1o, with the result that in the final phase of the forward movement the effect of the power cylinder is best exploited. In this phase of the work process, the most energy needed.

In the front end position of the press slide 1o, the skirt 14 and the top wall 23 of the hollow body 13 prevent a Falling of garbage into the area below the lower edge of the funnel 9. When the press slide moved back, the skirt 14 slides under the rear wall 11 of the hopper, and the compression chamber 8 becomes released again.

M 3596 / 04.1o.1979

030017/0731

Pressing the emergency stop button 34 immediately interrupts any further movement of the press slide 1o.

When the sanunel room 2 is full, the back pressure of the waste becomes against the front wall 17 of the press slide 1o so great that the hydraulic pressure in the actuating lines of the Power cylinder 18 exceeds the permissible limit value and thus automatically triggers the following processes:

- stopping the electric motor 3o,

- the indicator lamp 35 lights up.

When the collection container is full, it can be removed from a transport vehicle 1 can be picked up and emptied, which is done by opening the door 5 and following the collection container is tilted backwards.

The collecting container can be at the level of the funnel 9 with a Be equipped with a device that allows the emptying of standardized small containers into the funnel 9. This device can be supplied with power by means of the sockets 16.

The collecting container described above has the following advantages:

- The press slide 1o takes in the retracted position very little space away, which benefits the usable length of the collecting space 3. This allows the according to standard dimensions The collection bins produced collect more rubbish overall, and the load distribution on the transport vehicle is better because the center of gravity of the collecting container moves more towards the longitudinal center of the container;

- The use of intersecting standard power cylinders 18 allows a reduction in the space required without the need to use expensive telescopic cylinders;
