Abstract

In a cuboid container which is preferably suitable for receiving refuse and which has an orifice located on one end face, preferably serving for introducing the refuse and closable by means of a flap or lid, it will be possible to move this lid between an opening and a closing position with only a small amount of space required. For this, articulated on the lateral edges of the lid (4) are the outer ends of parallel links (5', 6'), the inner ends of which are mounted on bolts (8, 11) or pins connected to the container side walls (7), and an actuating device for pivoting the lid (4) between its closing position and opening position and a lock for locking the lid (4) in the closing position are provided. The lid is guided by the parallel links at four points, so that, in its closing position with appropriate locking, it can advantageously absorb high forces exerted on it from inside by the filling material. There is no possibility that the container lid will open automatically, for example as a result of forces acting on it during braking and acceleration while the container is being transported. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen quaderförmigen Container, vorzugs­weise zur Aufnahme von Müll, mit einer an einer Stirnseite angeordneten, vorzugsweise dem Einfüllen dienenden Öffnung, die durch eine Klappe oder einen Deckel verschließbar ist.The invention relates to a cuboid container, preferably for holding garbage, with an opening arranged on one end face, preferably serving for filling, which can be closed by a flap or a lid.

Aus der europäischen Patentveröffentlichung Nr. 163 859 ist ein Müllsammelfahrzeug bekannt, das mit einem als Wechselbehälter ausgebildeten und durch lösbare Kupplungen mit dem Chassis ver­riegelten Container der eingangs angegebenen Art zur Aufnahme von Müll und mit einer mit diesem fest verbundenen Schütteinheit und mit einer Förder- und Presseinrichtung zum Transportieren des in die Einschüttöffnung der Schütteinheit entleerten Mülls in den Container durch dessen Einfüllöffnung versehen ist. Bei diesem bekannten Container ist die Öffnung durch einen Schieber verschließbar, der durch eine mit entsprechenden Klinken bzw. Kupplungseinrichtungen versehenen Hydraulikzylinder bewegbar ist, der Teil der Schütteinheit ist. Der bekannte Schieber­verschluß kann verkanten oder sich durch in den Führungen des Schiebers festsetzende Gegenstände verklemmen. Weiterhin kann der Schieberverschluß nicht zur Anwendung kommen, wenn die Einschüttöffnung überragende Teile, wie beispielsweise vor­stehende Befestigungslaschen, oder mit der Stirnwandung des Behälters verbundene Ösen zum Ankuppeln des Behälters o.dgl. vorhanden sind, die in dem Verschiebeweg des Verschlußschiebers liegen.From European patent publication No. 163 859 a refuse collection vehicle is known, which has a container designed as a swap body and locked by releasable couplings to the chassis of the type specified at the outset for receiving refuse and with a discharge unit firmly connected to it and with a conveyor and Pressing device for transporting the garbage emptied into the pouring opening of the pouring unit into the container is provided through its filling opening. In this known container, the opening can be closed by a slide which can be moved by a hydraulic cylinder provided with corresponding pawls or coupling devices and which is part of the dumping unit. The known slide lock can tilt or jam due to objects stuck in the guides of the slide. Furthermore, the slide closure can not be used when the pouring opening protruding parts, such as protruding mounting tabs, or with the front wall of the Container-connected eyelets for coupling the container or the like. are present, which are in the displacement of the slide gate.

Aus der europäischen Patentveröffentlichung 235 824 ist ein Con­tainer der eingangs angegebenen Art bekannt, bei dem die dessen Einfüllöffnung verschließende Verschlußklappe um eine Schwenk­welle zwischen ihrer Öffnungs- und Verschlußstellung schwenkbar ist. Bei diesem bekannten Container muß jedoch verhältnismäßig viel Raum zum Betätigen der Verschlußklappe vorhanden sein, der möglicherweise insbesondere dann nicht immer zur Verfügung steht, wenn die Einfüllöffnung bei auf dem Müllsammelfahrzeug befindlichem Container geöffnet oder verschlossen werden soll.From the European patent publication 235 824 a container of the type specified is known, in which the closure flap closing its fill opening can be pivoted about a pivot shaft between its open and closed positions. In this known container, however, there must be a relatively large amount of space for actuating the closure flap, which may not always be available in particular if the filling opening is to be opened or closed when the container is on the refuse collection vehicle.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Container der eingangs angegebenen Art zu schaffen, dessen Deckel sich bei geringem Raumbedarf zwischen seiner Öffnungs- und Verschlußstellung bewegen läßt.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a container of the type specified, the lid of which can be moved between its open and closed positions in a small space.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einem Container der gattungsgemäßen Art dadurch gelöst, daß an den seitlichen Rändern des Deckels die äußeren Enden von Parallelenkern ange­lenkt sind, deren inneren Enden auf mit den Behälterseitenwänden verbundenen Bolzen oder Zapfen gelagert sind, und daß eine Betä­tigungseinrichtung zum Verschwenken des Deckels zwischen seiner Verschluß- und Offenstellung und eine Verriegelungseinrichtung zum Verriegeln des Deckels in der Schließstellung vorgesehen sind. Die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehenen Parallellenker, deren zueinander parallelen durch die zugehörigen Gelenkpunkte gezogenen Linien schräg zur Längsmittelebene des Behälters verlaufen, definieren mit dem Deckel ein Viergelenksystem, in dem sich der Deckel in seinen jeweiligen Endlagen entweder in der Öffnungs- oder in der Verschlußstellung befindet. Durch die Parallellenker ist der Deckel an vier Punkten geführt, so daß er in seiner Verschlußstellung bei entsprechender Verriegelung große von innen her durch das Füllgut auf diesen wirkende Kräfte aufzunehmen vermag. Ein selbsttätiges Öffnen des Container­deckels beispielsweise infolge von während des Container­transports beim Bremsen und Beschleunigen auf diesen wirkenden Kräften ist ausgeschlossen.According to the invention this object is achieved in a container of the generic type in that the outer ends of parallel lids are articulated on the lateral edges of the lid, the inner ends of which are mounted on bolts or pins connected to the container side walls, and in that an actuating device for pivoting the lid between its closed and open position and a locking device for locking the lid in the closed position are provided. The parallel links provided according to the invention, whose parallel lines drawn through the associated articulation points run obliquely to the longitudinal center plane of the container, define with the lid a four-bar system in which the lid is in its respective end positions either in the open or in the closed position. Through the parallel link, the cover is guided at four points, so that it in its closed position, with appropriate locking, is able to absorb large forces acting on the contents from the inside. An automatic opening of the container lid, for example as a result of forces acting on these during braking and acceleration during container transport, is excluded.

Weiterhin wird der Container durch die Verriegelung vollständig abgedichtet.Furthermore, the container is completely sealed by the lock.

Weiterhin ist der Deckel zwischen seiner Verschluß- und Öffnungs­stellung aus der Ebene der Stirnwandung des Containers abgehoben, so daß er über aus der Behälteröffnung herausragende Einbauten und Einrichtungen, die sich auf der Behälterstirnseite befinden, hinweggehoben wird.Furthermore, the lid is lifted out of the plane of the end wall of the container between its closed and open positions, so that it is lifted over internals and devices which are located on the front side of the container and protrude from the container opening.

Die Verriegelungseinrichtungen für den Deckel können beliebiger Art sein. Diese können unmittelbar an dem Behälterdeckel oder aber auch an den Parallellenkern angreifen. In einfachster Form können die Verriegelungseinrichtungen aus einem Verriegelungs­bolzen bestehen, der durch der Verriegelung dienende Ösen oder Bohrungen greift.The locking devices for the lid can be of any type. These can attack directly on the container lid or on the parallel core. In the simplest form, the locking devices can consist of a locking bolt which engages through the locking eyelets or holes.

Die Betätigungseinrichtung zum Öffnen und Schließen kann beispielsweise aus einem einen der Lenker über den behälter­seitigen Zapfen hinaus verlängernden Arm bestehen.The actuating device for opening and closing can consist, for example, of an arm which extends one of the handlebars beyond the pin on the container side.

Die Lenker können aus Winkelhebeln bestehen, wobei zweckmäßiger­weise die inneren Parallellenker äußere Teile aufweisen, die in der Schließstellung parallel zu dem Rand des Deckels verlaufen.The handlebars can consist of angle levers, the inner parallel links expediently having outer parts which, in the closed position, run parallel to the edge of the cover.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Deckel mit einer haubenartigen Ausbuchtung versehen ist, die in der Schließstellung die Behälteröffnung überragende Einbauteile, z.B. vorstehende Befestigungslaschen, überdeckt.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the cover is provided with a hood-like bulge which, in the closed position, has built-in parts which project beyond the container opening eg protruding fastening tabs, covered.

Ist der Behälter oberhalb des in seiner Verschlußstellung befind­lichen Deckels mit Laschen oder Ösen zum Ankuppeln versehen, weist der Deckel in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung eine haubenartige Ausbuchtung auf, die sich in der Öffnungsstellung über diese Laschen oder Ösen legt.If the container is provided with tabs or eyelets for coupling above the lid in its closed position, in a further embodiment of the invention the lid has a hood-like bulge which lies in the open position over these tabs or eyelets.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. In dieser zeigt

Fig.1 zeigt die linke Seite eines quaderförmigen Containers 1, der als Wechselbehälter für Müllsammelfahrzeuge der Aufnahme von Müll dient. Die linke Stirnseite 2 des Behälters 1 ist mit einer in Fig.2 gestrichelt eingezeichneten Einfüllöffnung 3 versehen, die sich im unteren Teil der Stirnseite 2 befindet. Diese Einfüllöffnung 3 ist durch einen in Draufsicht rechteckigen Deckel 4 verschließbar. Dieser Deckel 4 ist durch Parallellenker 5,6,5′,6′ mit den Seitenwänden des Behälters gelenkig verbunden. Der Lenker 5 ist in seinem inneren Endbereich auf einem mit der Behälterseitenwandung 7 verschweißten Bolzen 8 schwenkbar gelagert. Der äußere Endbereich des Lenkers 5 ist auf einem Bolzen 9 schwenkbar gelagert, der im mittleren Bereich mit dem seitlichen Randprofil 10 des Behälterdeckels 4 verschweißt ist. Entsprechend ist der innere Teil des Lenkers 6 auf dem Bolzen 11 gelagert, der mit der Behälterseitenwandung 7 verschweißt ist. während der äußere Endbereich auf einem Bolzen 12 gelagert ist, der sich im Bereich des unteren oder äußeren Endes des seitlichen Randprofils 10 des Deckels 4 befindet.1 shows the left side of a cuboid container 1, which serves as an interchangeable container for refuse collection vehicles for receiving refuse. The left end face 2 of the container 1 is provided with a filling opening 3 shown in broken lines in FIG. 2, which is located in the lower part of the end face 2. This filling opening 3 can be closed by a cover 4 which is rectangular in plan view. This lid 4 is articulated by parallel links 5,6,5 ', 6' with the side walls of the container. The handlebar 5 is pivotally mounted in its inner end region on a bolt 8 welded to the container side wall 7. The outer end portion of the handlebar 5 is on one Bolt 9 pivotally mounted, which is welded in the central area to the side edge profile 10 of the container lid 4. Accordingly, the inner part of the handlebar 6 is mounted on the bolt 11 which is welded to the container side wall 7. while the outer end region is mounted on a bolt 12 which is located in the region of the lower or outer end of the lateral edge profile 10 of the cover 4.

Die Lenker 5,5′ sind abgewinkelt, wobei die äußeren Enden der Lenker 5,5′ in der aus Fig.1 ersichtlichen Weise in der Verschlußstellung parallel zu dem Randprofil 10 des Deckels 4 verlaufen. Auch die äußeren Arme der Lenker 6, 6′ sind in der aus Fig. 1 ersichtlichen Weise abgewinkelt. Die Abwinkelungen der Lenker 5, 5′ und 6, 6′ sind vorgesehen, damit diese nicht mit den auf die Seitenwandungen des Containers aufgesetzten Schienen 22 kollidieren können. Sowohl in der Öffnungs- als auch in der Schließstellung greifen die Lenker 5, 5′ und 6, 6′ auf­grund ihrer Abwinkelungen um die Schienen 22 herum.The handlebars 5.5 'are angled, the outer ends of the handlebars 5.5' in the manner shown in FIG. 1 running parallel to the edge profile 10 of the cover 4 in the closed position. The outer arms of the handlebars 6, 6 'are angled in the manner shown in Fig. 1. The bends of the handlebars 5, 5 'and 6, 6' are provided so that they cannot collide with the rails 22 placed on the side walls of the container. Both in the open and in the closed position the handlebars 5, 5 'and 6, 6' due to their bends around the rails 22 around.

Der Lenker 6 ist mit einem diesen über den Gelenkbolzen 11 hinaus verlängernden Arm 13 versehen, der als Betätigungs­einrichtung zum Öffnen und Schließen des Behälters 1 dient.The handlebar 6 is provided with an arm 13 which extends the joint pin 11 and serves as an actuating device for opening and closing the container 1.

Im übrigen sind Verriegelungseinrichtungen vorgesehen, die den Behälterdeckel 4 in der aus den Fig. 1 und 2 ersichtlichen Ver­schlußstellung verriegeln.In addition, locking devices are provided which lock the container lid 4 in the closed position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Zur Parallelführung des Deckels 4 während seiner Bewegung zwischen der Öffnungs- und Verschlußstellung weisen die Bolzen 8,11 einerseits und die Bolzen 9,12 andererseits gleiche Abstände voneinander auf. Die durch die Gelenkbolzen verbundenen Verbindungslinien sind derart zur Mittelebene des Containers 1 geneigt, daß der Deckel 4 während seiner Verschwenkung zwischen seiner Schließ- und Öffnungsstellung in der gewünschten Weise abgehoben und einen genügend großen Schwenkweg zurücklegt.For parallel guidance of the cover 4 during its movement between the open and closed positions, the bolts 8, 11 on the one hand and the bolts 9, 12 on the other hand have the same distances from one another. The connecting lines connected by the hinge pins are inclined to the center plane of the container 1 in such a way that the cover 4 in the desired manner during its pivoting between its closed and open positions lifted off and covered a sufficiently large swivel path.

Das Seitenprofil 14 der Verschlußöffnung 3 ist in seinen oberen seitlichen Bereichen mit ösenförmigen Laschen 15 versehen, in die in der Verriegelungsstellung des Containers 1 auf einem Müll­sammelfahrzeug Haken oder Riegel greifen, die den Container 1 mit der Schütt- und Presseinrichtung verriegeln. Der Deckel 4 ist mit zwei im Querschnitt trapezförmigen Ausbuchtungen 16 versehen, die diese Verschlußlaschen 15 in der Schließstellung des Deckels 4 übergreifen. Durch das der Verriegelung und Verschwenkung dienende Viergelenksystem wird beim Öffnen des Deckels 4 dieser so weit von den der Verriegelung dienenden Laschen 15 abgehoben, daß er behinderungsfrei von diesen freikommt.The side profile 14 of the closure opening 3 is provided in its upper lateral areas with eyelet-shaped tabs 15, in which hooks or bolts engage in the locked position of the container 1 on a refuse collection vehicle and lock the container 1 with the pouring and pressing device. The cover 4 is provided with two bulges 16 which are trapezoidal in cross section and overlap these closure tabs 15 in the closed position of the cover 4. Due to the four-joint system used for locking and pivoting, when the cover 4 is opened, it is lifted so far from the locking tabs 15 that it is released from them without obstruction.

Im oberen Teil der Stirnwandung 2 des Containers 1 befindet sich eine Öse 17, die aus einem Bolzen 18 besteht, der in Aufnahme­bohrungen von gabelförmig angeordneten Laschen 19,20 einge­schweißt ist, die mit einem Verstärkungsprofil der Stirnseite 2 verschweißt sind. Die Öse 17 dient als Schleppöse der Handhabung des Containers, beispielsweise zur Verladung auf spezielle Trans­portfahrzeuge.In the upper part of the end wall 2 of the container 1 there is an eyelet 17 which consists of a bolt 18 which is welded into receiving bores of fork-shaped tabs 19, 20 which are welded to a reinforcing profile of the end face 2. The eyelet 17 serves as a towing eye for handling the container, for example for loading onto special transport vehicles.

Der Deckel 4 ist mit einer weiteren mittleren im Querschnitt trapezförmigen Ausbuchtung 21 versehen, die in der Fig.1 gestrichelt eingezeichneten Öffnungsstellung des Deckels die Öse 17 überdeckt.The cover 4 is provided with a further central bulge 21 which is trapezoidal in cross section and which covers the eyelet 17 in the open position of the cover shown in broken lines in FIG.

Wie aus Fig.3 ersichtlich ist, ist das äußere Ende des Lenkers 5 auf dem Zapfen 9 schwenkbar gelagert, der mit dem Randprofil des Behälterdeckels 4 verschweißt ist. Zur Sicherung der Lagerung ist auf den Bolzen 9 eine Scheibe 24 aufgesetzt, die durch einen Splint 25 festgelegt ist.As can be seen from Figure 3, the outer end of the handlebar 5 is pivotally mounted on the pin 9 which is welded to the edge profile of the container lid 4. To secure the bearing, a washer 24 is placed on the bolt 9 and is fixed by a split pin 25.

Entsprechend ist das innere Ende des Lenkers 6 auf dem mit der Behälterseitenwandung verschweißten Bolzen 11 festgelegt, der ebenfalls auf diesem durch eine Schweibe 25 und einen Splint 26 gesichert ist.Accordingly, the inner end of the handlebar 6 is fixed on the bolt 11 welded to the side wall of the container, which is also secured thereon by a washer 25 and a split pin 26.
