Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tilting or lifting and tilting device for emptying containers in collecting containers, preferably garbage containers in the collecting container of a garbage truck, which has a tilting or lifting and tilting frame with attached gripping devices and abutment devices for the containers and guide devices to be emptied, and drive devices for Generating the movements of the tilting or tilting required for tilting or lifting and tilting.

  • the driver of a mobile collecting container usually has to leave the driver's cab after bumping into the container to be emptied in order to attach gripping devices of the emptying device to the container to be emptied.
  • emptying devices for emptying containers into collecting containers have become known, for example in the form of lifting and tipping devices and tipping devices.
  • the most common emptying devices are equipped with a tipping device or lifting and tipping device which detects, lifts and tilts a container which has been brought in to be emptied until the contents of the container fall into the interior of the collecting container and then the emptying container is put down again it is known to provide rear wall loading, side loading or overhead loading on the collecting container.
  • the known emptying devices make considerable additional work necessary for bringing and transferring the containers to be emptied to the tilting device or lifting and tilting device and for removing the emptied containers from the working area of the emptying device. It is necessary that the transfer of the container to be emptied to the tilting device or lifting and tilting device is carried out with care.
  • the object of the invention is to significantly improve tipping or lifting and tipping devices for emptying containers with regard to the safe accommodation of the containers to be emptied, so that the transfer of the containers to be emptied to the tipping device or lifting and tipping device is made considerably easier and safer is and there is also the possibility to move the tilting device or lifting and tilting device to a container to be emptied and to pick up the container to be emptied with the tilting device or lifting and tilting device, without first precisely touching the container to the gripping devices of the Tilting device or lifting tilting device to have to attach.
  • the gre i fine directions and possibly also the abutment devices on the tilting or lifting-tilting device can nestle more or less resiliently on the container to be emptied if this container is in one direction or the other somewhat obliquely or laterally offset with the gripping devices and possibly the abutment devices of the tilting or lifting-tilting device. Due to the mobility of the gripping devices and possibly also the abutment devices with respect to the tilting or lifting-tilting frame, there is a secure interlocking of the on the container and in the gripping devices of the tilting or lifting-tilting device even when the inclination is somewhat oblique or offset to the side contained elements. In this way, is the mutual intervention of tipping or.
  • the container can be easily lifted from its stand, and it is then easily possible to align the gripping devices and possibly also the abutment devices with respect to the tilting or lifting-tilting frame Bring the container into the normal position desired or required for its emptying with respect to the tilting or lifting / tilting frame.
  • a fixing or locking of the gripping devices and the abutment devices on the tilting or lifting-tilting frame can be carried out according to the invention, whereby the same conditions are created for the sequence of the emptying process as is carried out with the highest precision, precise placement and transfer of the container to the tipping or. Lift-tilt device.
  • the number and type of degrees of freedom to be provided for the relative mobility of the gripping devices and, if appropriate, also of the abutment devices with respect to the tilting or lifting-tilting frame can be selected .
  • the Anbringungsein devices for the gripping devices and possibly also for the abutment devices to allow a limited, parallel to the tilt axis of the tilting or lifting and tilting frame lateral displacement of the gripping devices and possibly also the abutment devices with respect to the tilting or lifting and tilting frame be formed in the receiving position for the container to be emptied.
  • the gripping devices and possibly also the abutment devices can be adjusted by slightly shifting them sideways relative to the tilting or lifting-tilting frame precisely relative to the corresponding parts of the container to be grasped and then - if the container is slightly lifted from its position - for carry out the necessary exact lateral alignment with respect to the tilting or lifting / tilting frame.
  • Another degree of freedom, within the scope of the invention, for limited mobility of the gripping devices and possibly also the abutment devices then exists. that the attachment devices for the gripping devices and possibly also the abutment devices for allowing a limited pivoting of the gripping devices and possibly also the abutment devices are designed around a substantially vertical central axis in the receiving position of the tilting or lifting-tilting frame.
  • This degree of freedom of limited mobility is of particular importance in connection with strip-shaped gripping devices and abutment devices such as are to be provided for holding relatively wide containers. Due to the limited pivotability of the gripping devices and possibly also the abutment devices about a vertical axis in the receiving position of the tilting or lifting and tilting frame, the gripping devices and possibly also the abutment devices can be opposite to the container when it strikes an emptied container Tipping or Swivel the lift-and-tilt frame until the gripping devices have taken a sufficiently good parallel position to the parts of the container to be grasped, in order to ensure secure interlocking and to lift the container to be emptied from its position by lifting the tilting or lifting / tilting frame. When this is done, the container to be emptied can then be pivoted into the correct normal position for the emptying process with respect to the tilting or lifting / tilting frame.
  • Another degree of freedom of limited mobility is that the attachment devices for the gripping devices and possibly also for the abutment devices for allowing a limited pendulum movement of the gripping devices and possibly also the abutment devices in a substantially in the receiving position of the tilt or lift-tilt frame vertical and parallel to the tilt axis of the tilt or lift-tilt frame is formed.
  • This limited mobility of the gripping devices and possibly also the abutment devices with respect to the tilting or lifting-tilting frame allows the gripping device, in particular strip-shaped gripping devices for wide containers, to move over their entire length at the beginning of the lifting movement of the tilting or lifting-tilting frame Align the length or over the entire width of the container to be emptied in the vertical position with respect to the elements of the container to be detected and establish a secure engagement over the entire width of the container. Once the safe engagement has been established across the entire width of the container, the container to be emptied is lifted from its position when the tilting or lifting / tilting frame is raised or tilted further. The correct normal position of the gripping devices and possibly also of the abutment devices and thus of the container to be emptied with respect to the tilting or. Lift-tilt frame are manufactured.
  • a degree of mobility of the gripping devices and possibly also the abutment devices with respect to the tilting or lifting-tilting frame is that the attachment devices for the gripping devices and possibly also the abutment devices for permitting a limited inclination movement of the gripping device and possibly also of the abutment devices is formed in a normal plane (ie a plane lying at right angles on all sides) to the tilt axis of the tilt or lift-tilt frame.
  • the gripping devices and the abutment devices for the containers to be emptied are mounted on a container carrier which extends substantially vertically in the receiving position of the tilting or lifting and tilting frame, this container carrier being used by means of the limited mobility of the gripping devices and the Attachment devices allowing abutment devices is connected to the tilting or lifting-tilting frame.
  • the container carrier creates a unit which is adjustable in the sense of limited mobility in accordance with the selected degree of freedom or degrees of freedom in relation to the tilting or lifting and tilting frame and which is adjustable in relation to the container to be emptied.
  • the container carrier can be attached at its upper end region by means of an articulated connection to the tilting or lifting / tilting frame, and a movement limiting device which is effective between the container carrier and the tilting or lifting / tilting frame can be provided below this articulated connection.
  • this joint connection can be designed as a universal joint in the form of a bearing bush arrangement or a ball-shell joint.
  • the one with one Devices for aligning and fixing the container carrier with respect to the devices to be used in relation to the tilting or lifting / tilting frame can be designed, for example, in the manner of a pair of guide rails, between which a mandrel attached to the container carrier is guided. The distance between the guide rails determines the degree of mobility of the container carrier with respect to the tilting or lifting and tilting frame.
  • Another possibility to create a limited mobility of the container carrier with respect to the tilting or lifting-tilting frame is that the container carrier develops at its upper end region by means of a restoring force that automatically moves out of its normal position and thus at the same time the devices for aligning the Gripping devices and the hinge-forming articulation is attached to the tilt or lift-tilt frame.
  • a particularly simple possibility of this design is to use the articulated connection as a rubber-metal arrangement that is movable within itself, e.g. to train in the form of a universal joint.
  • Such a joint connection developing from the normal position restoring force has the advantage that it automatically and immediately initiates the alignment of the received container with respect to the tilting or lifting / tilting frame as soon as the container is lifted from its position.
  • a device of this type only needs a locking device to fix the trailer carrier in the normal position on the tilting or lifting and tilting frame.
  • a locking device can then, for example, have pivotally attached locking claws to the tilting or lifting / tilting frame and controllable into a closed position which grips the container carrier.
