Definitions

  • This invention relates to a latching mechanism and more especially to a latching mechanism for securing a container to a compactor.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved latching mechanism which utilizes a latch arm which can function not only to hold the container against the compactor in a reliable manner but also to take care of any fine alignment necessary of the container with the compactor.
  • the movable structure is a ship's latch and the latching mechanism is a latch battening device which can rely upon gravity during uncoupling due to the vertical arrangement of the latch and the fact that the mechanism is used only infrequently, at the beginning and end of each voyage, such that any stuck latches can be released manually.
  • the present invention requires the latch to be moved in a horizontal plane and to be able to exert a substantial force against the side of a container for alignment purposes.
  • the present invention is characterised in that the stationary structure is a compactor adapted to have a container latched thereto as the movable structure, in that the inward movement of the latch arm is limited by the provision of a second cam surface thereon engageable with the body, in that said second cam surface is effective to pivot said latch arm outwardly away from the container upon advancing movement of the latch arm and in that the first cam surface is cooperable with the body to limit outward movement of the latch arm upon advancing movement of the the latch arm.
  • the cam surfaces are provided on both sides of the latch arm so as positively to move the latch arm during both inward and outward movement with the movement of the latch arm itself being between limits as defined by the cam surfaces so that it will be properly positioned to receive the container substantially, but not accurately, aligned with its final required position.
  • the linkage may comprise first and second links, the first link being pivotally mounted intermediate at its ends to the body, having one end connected to a reciprocable motor and having its other end connected to one end of the second link, the other end of which is connected to said pivot.
  • the operation of the motor when the latch arm is in its extended position causes the latch arm initially to swing from an outwardly disposed position towards the container so as to engage the container if it is misaligned and align it with the compactor outlet, subsequent completion of movement of the latch causing the latch hook to engage a keeper member on the container and draw the container into tight engagement with the compactor.
  • the motor means is fluid powered and may conveniently be a hydraulic jack.
  • a particularly simple linkage is provided in the preferred construction in which the links are each bell- cranks with the over-centre arrangement being provided by the axes pivotally connecting the ends of the second link being positioned nearer the base of the body to be secured to a compactor than the axis of the pivotal connection between the first link and the body in the retracted position of the latch arm, and being arranged to pass through an aligned position upon initial movement of the motor means to advance the latch arm from its retracted position.
  • a compactor comprising a ram assembly 50 associated with a chamber 51 on opposite sides of which are mounted backing mechanisms 53.
  • the latching mechanism is mounted approximately mid-way up the side of the compactor chamber for association with fixed height type containers.
  • the latching mechanism as shown in Figs. 3 and 4 comprises a body formed of a base 25 provided with upstanding pairs of flanges 26 and 27.
  • the latching mechanism comprises a latching hook arm 21 which is shown in the full line illustrations of Figs. 3 and 4 in its retracted position in which the hooked portion of the arm engages over a keeper member 23 attached to the container 22.
  • the edge of the container is drawn into engagement with a resilient buffer 24 around the periphery of the opening from the compactor chamber 51.
  • a hydraulic jack 28 Pivotally mounted to the flanges or lugs 26 is a hydraulic jack 28 provided with a piston 29 the end of which is connected by a pivot pin 30 to one end of each of two links 31 which are in the form of bell cranks pivoted by a pin 33 at a mid point thereof to the flanges 27.
  • the other ends of the links 31 are connected by pins 32 to one end of each of a pair of second bell crank links 34 the other end of which is connected to a pivot pin 35 connected to the rear end of the latch arm 21 and guided for movement longitudinally of the latch body by being received in guide slots 36 in the flanges 27.
  • the linkage is arranged such that the pivot pin 32 is in a position B such that the line between the axes of the pivot pin 32 in the position B and the pivot pin 35 in a position C are nearer the base 25 than the pivot pin 33 at position A.
  • the pin 30 will be drawn back causing the bell crank link 31 to pivot in a clockwise direction so that the pin 32 passes from the position B through a central position aligned with the pivot pin 35 to cause the pin 35 to be moved forwardly along the guide slots 36 to advance the bell crank on 21 towards the position 21' in order to disengage the keeper 23 on the container.
  • the innermost cam surface 60 engages a wear plate 41 secured via plate 42 to a mounting channel 19.
  • the other outwardly facing cam surface 61 engages a roller or pin 44 supported by the flanges 27.
  • the weight of the latch arm 21 is supported by a wear plate 40 mounted to the body.
  • one such latching mechanism is mounted on either side of the compactor.
  • the latch arms When the latch arms are in their advanced and outwardly swung and disengaged position 2111 a container is moved adjacent to the compactor exit.
  • the hydraulic rams 28 of each latch are then actuated and forced outwardly to cause the latch arm to be retracted by the pin 35 being drawn back along the guides 36.
  • Initial retraction of each latch arm causes it to be swung inwardly, pivoting about the retracting pivot 35 due to the action of the cam surface 61.
  • the latching mechanism shown in Figs. 3 and 4 as applied to the fixed height body container of Fig. 2 is mounted approximately at the mid point of the height of the container and comprises the single base plate 25.
  • the latching mechanism is mounted near the bottom of the compactor chamber rather than half way up its sides.
  • the mechanism instead of the latching mechanism having a single base plate 25 which is secured to the side of the compactor chamber, the mechanism comprises a series of shorter base plates which are welded between the grooves between vertical uprights on the outside of the compactor chamber as shown in Fig. 1.
