Definitions

  • the invention relates to a refuse collection vehicle with an upwardly open pouring opening of the pouring unit located between its driver's cab and its collecting container and with a lifting and tilting device which consists of at least one lifting arm which can be pivoted about a transverse axis of the pouring unit or the vehicle chassis and which has one at its free end parallel to the transverse axis carries arm, which is pivotable between its receiving area in front of the driver's cab and its dumping area above and behind the driver's cab and which is provided with a claw for driving into receiving bags of refuse containers and for gripping them.
  • the arm is designed as a rail on which a carrier provided with a drive is displaceably guided, on which a swivel arm is mounted which carries the claw at its free end.
  • the devices and drives for displacing the carrier as well as for pivoting the gripping arm mounted on it and the carrier and the gripping arm for tilting the refuse container must also be lifted, so that a considerable dead weight has to be moved. This not only means a loss of performance and energy, but also results in a slower way of working.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a refuse collection vehicle of the type specified at the outset, in which refuse containers coupled to the claw can be lifted while moving a lower dead weight and tilted for the purpose of emptying them.
  • this object is achieved in a refuse collection vehicle of the generic type in that a carrier which is displaceable transversely to its longitudinal axis and is provided with a drive is arranged below the arm on the refuse collection vehicle and carries at least two suction cups at its outer end and which lies between its outer position , in which the suction cups can detect waste containers standing to the side of the vehicle, and its inner position, in which the suction cups are located in front of the claws and the receiving pocket of a suctioned waste container above it.
  • the devices for detecting and transporting the refuse containers into a position from which they are lifted and tilted by the lifting and tipping device are separated from the lifting and tipping device itself in such a way that they are connected to the vehicle and the lifting and tipping device is separated therefrom the garbage containers taken and transferred to a transfer position.
  • the lifting and tipping device must therefore not only move the devices for detecting and transporting the refuse containers into their starting position for tilting as dead weight, but the drives, preferably hydraulic drives, of the device for detecting and transporting can be made simpler, since they are attached to the vehicle and no longer the swiveling lifting arms of the lifting and tipping device must be provided.
  • the hydraulic lines the hydraulic cylinders used as drives can therefore be installed stationary.
  • the carrier To move a waste container provided on the side of the refuse collection vehicle, the carrier is extended laterally until its suction cups suck the refuse container on a side wall.
  • Grippers made of suction cups for gripping waste containers are known from DE-A-25 58 466.
  • the suction cups can be arranged in pairs one above the other on an upstanding arm angled from the carrier.
  • a slide carrying the suction cups and provided with a drive can be guided in the leg in a longitudinally displaceable manner.
  • two lateral lifting arms are provided with freely projecting arms, each of which carries a receiving claw on its inner, mutually facing end regions, with two carriers which can be extended on opposite sides and are provided with suction cups .
  • This configuration makes it possible to detect and empty garbage containers provided on both sides of the garbage collection vehicle, the left and right-hand operation being independent of one another, so that the garbage collection capacity can be increased if operation is overlapping at the same time.
  • the two separately controllable lifting arms can also be locked or controlled in such a way that they can be raised and lowered synchronously. Will the lifting arms in this way locked, large containers can be emptied with two receiving pockets, in which case the lifting arms can also be connected to one another via the container itself and the locks provided on the lifting arms. Large containers with a capacity of more than 1m3 are expediently accommodated on the front without having been brought into their central tilt position by the laterally extendable suction cups.
  • the gripping claws expediently have the shape of a cone or pyramid section with a cutting surface parallel to the cone or pyramid axis.
  • the receiving pockets are expediently designed to be complementary. Gripping claws and receiving pockets of this type are described, for example, in DE-U-85 19 096.
  • the moving masses are lower because of the separation of the devices for gripping and tilting, so that shorter tilting times are possible in addition to a lower necessary output.
  • the lifting arms can work as a single bed for smaller waste containers and as a double bed for larger waste containers, and the coupling itself can be carried out in the simplest way.
  • a new waste container When working on the left and right-hand side, a new waste container can already be picked up from the roadside via the cross-movable gripping device and brought into its tilting position during the tipping process.
  • the garbage collection vehicle shown in the drawing consists of a truck with a short center distance in order to give the vehicle good maneuverability when collecting garbage.
  • the driver's cab 1 is fastened in front of the front axle 2 to the base frame of the chassis, so that it projects with its lower edge into the area of the plane of the wheel axles or even lower, and gives the driver a good view of waste containers standing next to the road.
  • the dump unit 4 is connected to the vehicle frame 3 on the chassis in such a way that it is arranged between the driver's cab 1 and the container 5 designed as a collecting container and extends beyond the driver's cab 1.
  • the lifting and tipping device consists of two U-shaped swivel arms 6, 6 'arranged on both sides of the driver's cab, the shorter legs of which are pivotally mounted about an axle 7 arranged behind the driver's cab 1 in the lower region of the dumping device 4 or on the chassis.
  • the triangular receiving claws 9,9 'in the region of their inner ends with upward pointing Bear tip which have substantially flat rear sides and whose front sides are spherically curved so that they center garbage bins, which are provided with corresponding complementary receiving pockets and are placed on them, in all directions.
  • the lifting arms 6,6 ' are in the example from EP-OS 163rd 859 known manner provided with these pivoting hydraulic cylinders.
  • transverse hydraulic cylinders 10 are arranged, which are provided with piston rods 11, 11' which can be extended towards both sides and end up wear angled legs 12,12 '.
  • piston rods 11, 11' which can be extended towards both sides and end up wear angled legs 12,12 '.
  • suction cups 13 On the upstanding legs 12,12 'vacuum suction cups 13 are attached, which serve the suction of laterally provided waste containers 14 after extending the piston rods.
  • the garbage containers 14 sucked in by the suction cups 13 are moved by retracting the piston rods 11, 11 ', which can also act telescopically, into a position shown in FIG the lifting arms 6,6 'can be removed by the gripping claws 9,9' from the suction cups 13 for the purpose of tilting them.
  • the gripping claws 9, 9' move into the receiving pockets 15 of the garbage containers 14 which are complementary to the gripping claws and are provided in the region of the upper edge of the garbage containers 14 in the manner shown in FIG.
  • a latch 16 additionally engages, which lies on the upper edge of the receiving pockets 15 and thereby fixes the waste containers 14 when they are tilted upside down.
