Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus according to the pre-characterizing part of claim 1.
  • a refuse lorry carrying such an apparatus is known from FR-A 2 336 320.
  • both the receiving container and the trough are divided into three compartments by means of two vertical partitions.
  • the rear loader has two filling openings one above the other. Upright partitions in the rear loader are spaced at such a distance apart and from the side walls of the rear loader that the filling openings are in each case subdivided into three partial openings.
  • the refuse containers to be handled are sub-divided into three chambers by means of two partitions.
  • the cross-sectional area of the openings of these chambers are adapted to the cross-sectional areas of the partial filling openings of the rear loader.
  • the known apparatus has a number of disadvantages. Due to the vertical partitions in the receiving container and the difference in specific mass and supplied amounts of the different types of refuse the centre of gravity of the total load of the refuse lorry will be off centre, resulting in a uneven load on the chassis and a bad road-holding of the refuse lorry. With a specific sub-division of the filling opening of the rear loader into partial openings only, due to the fact that for emptying the refuse containers the chambers of the refuse containers must correspond in shape and position with the partial filling openings of the rear loader, only one type of refuse container can be handled. When other types of refuse containers are to be handled, the sub-division of the filling openings and also the position of the partitions in the rear loader must be changed. Moreover, the refuse collecting capacity is relatively low as it is almost impossible to handle two refuse containers simultaneously.
  • DE-A 3 537 546 shows a refuse lorry with an apparatus for collecting refuse comprising a refuse receiving container which is divided into several compartments lying above one another by means of horizontal partitions, and loading device mounted on the receiving container.
  • the loading device is mounted at the side of the receiving container near the front end thereof.
  • the loading device is designed for top loading of the receiving container.
  • the invention also relates to a refuse lorry provided with an apparatus according to the invention, mounted on the chassis of the refuse lorry.
  • a container 2 is provided on the chassis 1. Said container is provided with one or more horizontal partitions 3, dividing the container into a number of comparments 4 and 5 lying above one another.
  • the compartment 4 for the heaviest refuse (fruit, vegetable and garden refuse) is at the bottom of the container 2.
  • the position of the horizontal partitions 3 can be adjusted depending on the specific weight of the various refuse materials.
  • the refuse lorry shown in Fig. 1 has a container 2 which is divided by means of one horizontal partition 3 into two compartments 4 and 5. Each compartment 4, 5 is provided with a filling opening at the rear.
  • the container 2 is provided at the rear with a rear loader 6, having a filling opening 7 and a compacting mechanism 8, by means of which different types of refuse separated from each other, can be deposited each in one of the compartment 4, 5 of the container 2.
  • the compacting mechanism 8 comprises a rotary vertical shaft 11, on which a packing blade 12, 13 is fixed for each compartment 4, 5. As can be seen from Fig. 2, a lever 14 is fixed on the top side of the rotary shaft 11.
  • the piston rods of two cylinders 17 and 18 are hingedly connected to the lever 14 at points 15 and 16 of said lever 14.
  • the cylinders 17 and 18 are hingedly connected to the rear loader 6 at points 19 and 20.
  • the arrangement of these cylinders 17 and 18 is such that (see Fig. 2a-2d):
  • Each packing blade 12, 13 makes the same rotary movement and moves in a trough 21 which is in the shape of a semi-circular vertical cylinder whose vertical end edges connect to the container 2.
  • This trough 21 is also divided by means of a number of horizontal partitions 22 (one partition 22 in the embodiment illustrated) into compartments 23 and 24, corresponding to the compartments 4 and 5 of the container 2.
  • the compartments 23 and 24 of the trough 21 connect via slide plates 25, 26 to the filling opening 7 of the rear loader 6.
  • a loading device 27 is fixed on the rear loader 6.
  • Two refuse containers 28 (so-called mini-containers) can be handled simultaneously and indepently of each other with this loading device.
  • the loading device 27 comprises two container cradles 29. With each container cradle 29 a refuse container 28 to be handled can first be lifted vertically along a guide frame which is not shown here, or via an arched track by lifting arms not shown here, by means of a known drive.
  • the loading device 27 has also a tilting mechanism, not shown here, with which a lifted container cradle 29 with refuse container 28 can be tilted from the position indicated by 30 into the position indicated by 31 in Fig. 1 above the filling opening 7.
  • the loading device 27 shown here is designed for the handling of refuse containers 28 which are divided into compartments by means of a partition 32.
  • the loading device is for that purpose provided with a dividing wall 33 against which the partition 32 of such a refuse container 28 rests when it is lifted to the top position by the container cradle 29.
  • the dividing wall 33 is disposed in such a way that during the tilting movement of the container cradle 29 with refuse container 28 the dividing wall 33 remains in contact with the partition 32 of the refuse container 28 and tilts along with the refuse container 28. At the end of the tilting movement the dividing wall 33 connects to the slide plate 26. In this way the refuse which is separate in the container 28 will also go separately into the two compartments 23 and 24 of the rear loader 6, and will go from there through the appropriate packing blade 12, 13 into the appropriate compartment 4, 5 of the container 2.
  • the dividing wall 33 is transverse to the lengthwise direction of the container 2. It is, however, also possible to turn the dividing wall 90 degrees, so that it ends up in the lengthwise direction of the container.
  • the slide plates in the rear loader will have to be adapted accordingly.
  • This modified embodiment of a loading device is suitable for handling refuse containers in which the partition is turned 90 degrees relative to the partition 32 in the refuse containers 28 shown in Fig. 1.
  • Each container cradle 29 can be provided with known pick up elements 35 which can grasp under the downward flanged top rim of a refuse container 28 (Fig. 3).
  • Each container cradle 29 can also be provided with a vacuum operated suction cup 36, with which the refuse container 28 is held during the tilting movement.
  • a suction cup has the advantage that catch arms catching the refuse container during the last part of the tilting movement are not necessary. When refuse containers without a proximity division are used, said refuse containers being emptied on different levels, the application of catch arm would entail great technical difficulties.
  • Another advantage of the application of a vacuum operated suction cup is that the use of a much more complicated locking mechanism normally associated with pick up elements of the type shown in Fig. 3 is no longer necessary.
  • the movements of the pusher blades 9 and 10, the compacting mechanism 8, the rear loader 6 and the loading device 27 are carried out by means of a hydraulic system via cylinders.
  • a chamber 34 is available at the bottom of the rear loader for collection of chemical waste such as oil, paint, and large and small batteries.
