Abstract

1. Automatically collecting street sweeper with a driver's cab (2) installed at the front on a vehicle chassis (1) and a dirt container located therebehind, whereof the discharge opening is closed by a container lid (8) which can be removed or can be opened, characterised in that an intermediate frame (10) without a base and lid is provided, which can be connected to the discharge opening and enlarges the dirt container (5), to which intermediate frame the container lid (8) is connected and that the connecting members (12) of the intermediate frame (10) correspond to those of the container lid (8) on the container side and those of the dirt container (5) on the lid side.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine selbstaufnehmende Kehrmaschine mit vorne auf einem Fahrzeugrahmen aufgebautem Fahrerhaus und dahinter angeordnetem Schmutzbehälter, dessen Entleerungsöffnung durch einen abnehmbaren bzw. zu öffnenden Behälterdeckel verschlossen ist.The invention relates to a self-picking sweeper with a driver's cab built on the front of a vehicle frame and a dirt container arranged behind it, the emptying opening of which is closed by a removable or openable container lid.

Derartige Kehrmaschinen werden insbesondere von Kommunen in großer Zahl zum Säubern von Verkehrsflächen eingesetzt. Dabei ergibt sich im Herbst beim Kehren von Laub das besondere Problem, daß der Schmutzbehälter gefüllt ist, obwohl das zulässige Füllgewicht noch längst nicht erreicht ist. Öfter als notwendig muß die Kehrmaschine daher zum Entleeren des Schmutzbehälters in die Deponie fahren.Such sweepers are used in large numbers by municipalities in particular to clean traffic areas. The particular problem that arises when sweeping leaves in autumn is that the dirt container is filled, although the permissible filling weight is far from being reached. The sweeper must therefore drive to the landfill more often than necessary to empty the dirt container.

Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Kehrmaschine der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbesseren, daß sich ihr Einsatz in der "Laubzeit" wirtschaftlich günstiger gestaltet. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist neuerungsgemäß ein an die Entleerungsöffnung anschließbarer, den Schmutzbehälter vergrößernder boden- und deckelloser Zwischenrahmen vorgesehen, an welchem der Behälterdeckel angeschlossen ist, wobei die Anschlußelemente des Zwischenrahmens behälterseitig jenen des Behälterdeckels deckelseitig jenen des Schmutzbehälters entsprechen.In contrast, the invention has for its object to improve a sweeper of the type mentioned so that its use in the "leafy season" is economically more favorable. To solve this problem, a connectable to the emptying opening, the dirt container enlarging bottomless and lidless intermediate frame is provided, to which the container lid is connected, the connecting elements of the intermediate frame on the container side correspond to those of the container lid on the lid side of those of the dirt container.

Dieser Lösung liegt die Überlegung zugrunde, daß sich der Schmutzbehälter auf einfache Weise dadurch vergrößern läßt, daß man an seiner Entleerungsöffnung einen Zwischenrahmen anbringt, wobei die gleichen Anschlußelemente verwendet werden, die bei einer Kehrmaschine ohne Zwischenrahmen zum Befestigen des Behälterdeckels vorhanden sind. Dementsprechend sitzt der Behälterdeckel auf der dem Schmutzbehälter gegenüberliegenden Öffnung des Zwischenrahmens. Indem man den Zwischenrahmen mit Anschlußelementen versieht, die jenen des Behälterdeckels entsprechen, besteht die Möglichkeit, ohne Änderungen am Schmutzbehälter oder am Behälterdeckel den Zwischenrahmen bei Bedarf, also vorwiegend bei der herbstlichen Straßenreinigung, anzubringen. Bei nach oben weisender, horizontaler Entleerungsöffnung des Schmutzbehälters ergibt sich dabei eine Vergrößerung des Kehrmaschinenaufbaus in der Höhe; bei nach hinten weisender, vertikaler Entleerungsöffnung in der Länge des Fahrzeugs. Der Einbau bzw. Ausbau des Zwischenrahmens ist in etwa ein bis zwei Stunden problemlos durchführbar. Zweckmäßig ist eine Vergrößerung des Schmutzbehältervolumens um 30 bis 50%. Das bedeutet bei Kehrmaschinen mit einem Schmutzbehältervolumen von etwa 1 m3 den Anbau eines Zwischenrahmens mit einer Höhe von etwa 300 mm.This solution is based on the consideration that the dirt container can be enlarged in a simple manner by attaching an intermediate frame to its emptying opening, the same connecting elements being used that are present in a sweeper without an intermediate frame for fastening the container lid. Accordingly, the container lid sits on the opening of the intermediate frame opposite the dirt container. By providing the intermediate frame with connection elements that correspond to those of the container lid, there is the possibility of attaching the intermediate frame if necessary, that is, primarily during autumn street cleaning, without changes to the dirt container or the container lid. If the dirt container's horizontal emptying opening points upwards, this increases the height of the sweeper structure; with a vertical discharge opening pointing to the rear along the length of the vehicle. The installation or removal of the intermediate frame can be easily carried out in about one to two hours. It is advisable to increase the volume of the dirt container by 30 to 50%. In sweepers with a dirt container volume of approximately 1 m 3, this means the attachment of an intermediate frame with a height of approximately 300 mm.

Bei einer Kehrmaschine, deren Schmutzbehälter in einem Gehäuse versenkt angeordnet und aus diesem zum Entleeren nach oben auskippbar ist, kann der Zwischenrahmen so ausgeführt sein, daß er über das Gehäuse übersteht, wobei die Rahmenseiten etwa in Verlängerung der Gehäuseseiten ausgebildet sind. Der Schmutzbehälter läßt sich dabei zum Entleeren wie bisher über die rückwärtige Oberkante des Gehäuses nach hinten kippen, wobei selbstverständlich vorher der Behälterdeckel entfernt werden oder um seine vordere, in der gekippten Lage des Schmutzbehälters obere, quer zur Fahrzeuglängsachse verlaufende Kante gegenüber der Entleerungsöffnung des Zwischenrahmens aufgeklappt werden muß.In a sweeper whose dirt container is sunk in a housing and can be tipped out of it for emptying, the intermediate frame can be designed so that it protrudes beyond the housing, the frame sides being formed approximately as an extension of the housing sides. The dirt container can be tilted backwards for emptying as before via the rear upper edge of the housing, with the container lid of course being removed beforehand or opened around its front edge in the tilted position of the dirt container, transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, relative to the emptying opening of the intermediate frame must become.

Im folgenden wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung beschrieben.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the drawing.

Die auf der Zeichnung dargestellte selbstaufnehmende Kehrmaschine ist auf einem Fahrgestell mit dem Fahrzeugrahmen 1 aufgebaut. Vorne befindet sich das Fahrerhaus 2, von wo aus auch die frontseitigen Tellerbesen 3 betätigbar sind. Der Schmutz wird über einen Saugmund 4 aufgenommen und über eine nicht dargestellte Saugleitung in einen Schmutzbehälter 5 gefördert, welcher im Inneren eines Gehäuses 6 um eine horizontale Achse 7 in Richtung des Pfeiles P nach hinten kippbar angeordnet ist.The self-picking sweeper shown in the drawing is built on a chassis with the vehicle frame 1. The driver's cab 2 is located at the front, from where the front plate brushes 3 can also be actuated. The dirt is picked up via a suction mouth 4 and conveyed via a suction line (not shown) into a dirt container 5 which is arranged in the interior of a housing 6 and can be tilted rearward about a horizontal axis 7 in the direction of the arrow P.

In der bekannten Normalausführung einer derartigen selbstaufnehmenden Kehrmaschine sitzt ein Behälterdekkel 8 unmittelbar auf dem Schmutzbehälter 5, wie mit der strichlierten Linie 9 angedeutet. In der gezeichneten Ausführungsform ist der Behälterdeckel 8 vom Schmutzbehälter abgenommen; anstelle des Behälterdekkels 8 ist auf den Schmutzbehälter 5 ein Zwischenrahmen 10 aufgesetzt, welcher den Schmutzbehälter 5 nach oben vergrößert. Der Zwischenrahmen 10 ist sowohl zum Schmutzbehälter 5 hin als auch zu dem auf dem Zwischenrahmen aufgesetzten Behälterdeckel 8 hin offen.In the known normal design of such a self-picking sweeper, a container lid 8 sits directly on the dirt container 5, as indicated by the broken line 9. In the illustrated embodiment, the container lid 8 is removed from the dirt container; instead of the container cover 8, an intermediate frame 10 is placed on the dirt container 5, which enlarges the dirt container 5 upwards. The intermediate frame 10 is open both towards the dirt container 5 and towards the container lid 8 placed on the intermediate frame.

Sein oberer bzw. unterer Öffnungsrand ist jeweils staubdicht am Behälterdeckel 8 bzw. am Schmutzbehälter 5 befestigt. Die Befestigung erfolgt mittels der gleichen Anschlußelemente, wie sie bei der unmittelbaren Befestigung des Behälterdeckels 8 auf dem Schmutzbehälter 5, also ohne Verwendung des Zwischenrahmens 10 vorgesehen sind. Somit kann jede bekannte Kehrmaschine mittels eines einfachen Zwischenrahmens 10 in ihrer Aufnahmekapazität vergrößert werden, d.h. das Volumen des Schmutzbehälters 5 vergrößert sich um den Rauminhalt des Zwischenrahmens 10.Its upper or lower opening edge is attached in a dust-tight manner to the container lid 8 or to the dirt container 5. The attachment is carried out by means of the same connection elements as are provided for the immediate attachment of the container lid 8 to the dirt container 5, that is to say without the use of the intermediate frame 10. Thus, any known sweeper can be increased in its capacity by means of a simple intermediate frame 10, i.e. the volume of the dirt container 5 increases by the volume of the intermediate frame 10.

Da sich bei Anbringung des Zwischenrahmens 10 die Fahrzeugabmessungen insgesamt vergrößern, ist es zweckmässig, diesen Zwischenrahmen nur im Bedarfsfall, d.h. im Herbst beim Aufnehmen von Laub zu montieren. Während der übrigen Zeit des Jahres sollte ohne diesen Zwischenrahmen gearbeitet werden. Da das Gebläse 11 im Behälterdeckel 8 aufgenommen ist, vergrößert sich zwar bei Einsatz des Zwischenrahmens 10 die Saughöhe; in der Praxis wirkt sich dies jedoch nicht nachteilig aus, da das Gewicht des Laubes niedrig anzusetzen ist.Since the overall vehicle dimensions increase when the intermediate frame 10 is attached, it is expedient to use this intermediate frame only when necessary, i.e. to be mounted in autumn when picking up leaves. During the rest of the year, you should work without this intermediate frame. Since the blower 11 is accommodated in the container lid 8, the suction height increases when the intermediate frame 10 is used; in practice, however, this does not have a disadvantage since the weight of the foliage is low.

Die Anschlußelemente für den Zwischenrahmen sind lediglich mit kurzen strichpunktierten Linien 12 angedeutet.The connection elements for the intermediate frame are only indicated with short dash-dotted lines 12.
