Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Müllbehälter mit einem Klappdeckel und mit einer mit der Behälterwanne verbundenen Aufnahmevorrichtung für eine Aufnahmeklaue einer Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtung.The invention relates to a refuse container with a hinged lid and with a receiving device connected to the container trough for a receiving claw of a lifting and tilting device.

Es ist bekannt, taschenförmige Aufnahmevorrichtungen, die im wesentlichen komplementär zu den Aufnahmeklauen sind, am oder im oberen verstärkten Behälterrand oder in Form von besonderen Aufnahmetaschen vorzusehen. Bekannte Müllbehälter lassen sich jedoch grundsätzlich nur dann verkippen, wenn deren Aufnahmevorrichtungen der besonderen Form der Aufnahmeklaue der Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtung angepaßt sind. Häufig sind aber unterschiedliche Systeme im Einsatz, so daß die Kompatibilität von Aufnahmevorrichtungen und Aufnahmeklauen nicht gegeben ist.It is known to provide pocket-shaped receiving devices, which are essentially complementary to the receiving claws, on or in the upper reinforced container edge or in the form of special receiving pockets. Known refuse containers can, however, only be tilted in principle if their receiving devices are adapted to the special shape of the receiving claw of the lifting and tilting device. However, different systems are often in use, so that the compatibility of receiving devices and receiving claws is not given.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine einfach ausgestaltete Aufnahmevorrichtung für einen Müllbehälter der eingangs angegebenen Art zu schaffen, die sich gegebenenfalls auch in einfacher Weise unterschiedlichen Formen von Aufnahmeklauen anpassen läßt.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a simply designed receiving device for a refuse container of the type mentioned at the outset, which can also be adapted in a simple manner to different forms of receiving claws.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einem Müllbehälter der gattungsgemäßen Art dadurch gelöst, daß mit den einander gegenüberliegenden Bereichen der Seitenwandungen der Behälterwanne die Endbereiche der Schenkel eines im wesentlichen U-förmigen Bügels verbunden sind, dessen die Schenkel verbindender Stegteil mit der vorderen Wandung der Behälterwanne einen Spalt begrenzt. Besteht die Aufnahmeklaue aus einer üblichen sogenannten Kammaufnahme, kann diese zur Aufnahme des Müllbehälters in den Spalt zwischen der Vorderwand des Müllbehälters und dem Stegteil eingreifen, wobei eine geeignete Spaltbreite vorzusehen ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in a refuse container of the generic type in that with the opposite regions of the side walls of the container trough the end regions of the legs of an essentially U-shaped bracket are connected, the web part connecting the legs delimiting a gap with the front wall of the container trough. If the pick-up claw consists of a conventional so-called comb pick-up, it can engage the pick-up container in the gap between the front wall of the waste container and the web part, a suitable gap width being provided.

Kommen andere Formen von Aufnahmeklauen einer Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtung zum Einsatz, läßt sich der stegteil in einfacher Weise diesen Formen anpassen, wobei der Stegteil auch so ausgebildet werden kann, daß der Behälter mit unterschiedlich ausgestalteten Aufnahmeklauen ergriffen werden kann.If other forms of receiving claws of a lifting and tilting device are used, the web part can be adapted to these shapes in a simple manner, wherein the web part can also be designed such that the container can be gripped with differently designed receiving claws.

Bei einem aus EP-A 235 784 bekannten Müllbehälter dieser Art besteht die Aufnahmevorrichtung aus einer etwa dreieckigen Aufnahmetasche mit mittiger nach oben weisender abgerundeter Spitze, deren den Müllbehälter zugewandte Vorderwand, die durch die Wandung des Müllbehälters selbst gebildet sein kann, im wesentlichen eben ist und deren Rückwand keilförmig schräg oder kalottenartig abgerundet nach außen verläuft. Bei dem bekannten Müllbehälter bildet die Aufnahmetasche gleichsam ein trichterförmiges Aufnahmestück, das auf der entsprechend komplementär geformten Greifklaue, die etwa die Form eines Kegel- oder Pyramidenabschnitts mit zu der Kegel- oder Pyramidenachse parallele Schnittfläche aufweist, sicher zentriert ist. Bei dem bekannten Müllbehälter braucht vor dem Ankuppeln der Aufnahmeklaue diese lediglich in den Bereich unterhalb der Aufnahmetasche in der Weise geführt zu werden, daß deren Spitze von der Öffnung der Aufnahmetasche überdeckt ist. Wird nun die Greifklaue durch die Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtung nach oben gefahren, zentriert sich diese von selbst in der Aufnahmetasche und bewirkt deren Kupplung mit dem Müllbehälter.In a waste container of this type known from EP-A 235 784, the receiving device consists of an approximately triangular receiving pocket with a rounded upward-pointing tip, whose front wall facing the waste container, which can be formed by the wall of the waste container itself, is essentially flat and the back wall of which is wedge-shaped, obliquely or rounded like a dome. In the known garbage container, the receiving pocket forms, as it were, a funnel-shaped receiving piece which is securely centered on the correspondingly complementarily shaped gripping claw, which has approximately the shape of a cone or pyramid section with a cutting surface parallel to the cone or pyramid axis. In the known garbage container, the coupling claw only needs to be guided into the area below the pocket in such a way that its tip is covered by the opening of the pocket. If the gripping claw is now moved upwards by the lifting and tilting device, it centers itself in the receiving pocket and couples it with the waste container.

Der erfindungsgemäße Bügel kann nach einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung die bekannte Aufnahmetasche in einfacher Weise dadurch ersetzen, daß der die Schenkel verbindende und im Abstand vor der vorderen Wandung der Behälterwanne liegende Stegteil in Seitenansicht des Behälters aufwärts in Richtung auf den Rand der Behälterwanne abgebogen und in Vorderansicht mit einer mittleren bogenförmigen Krümmung mit zum Rand weisendem Scheitel versehen ist. Diese erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des die Aufnahmevorrichtung bildenden Bügels läßt sich als ein linien- oder streifenförmiger Ausschnitt der Vorderwandung der Aufnahmetasche des bekannten Müllbehälters auffassen. Der entsprechend sphärisch gekrümmte Bügel ützt sich auf der sphärisch gekrümmten Vorderseite der Aufnahmeklaue ab, so daß er grundsätzlich die gleiche Haltefunktion zu übernehmen vermag wie die bekannte Aufnahmetasche. Dabei stützt sich der sphärisch gekrümmte Stegteil des Bügels auf der Vorderseite der sphärisch gekrümmten Aufnahmeklaue ab, während der hintere ebene Teil der Aufnahmeklaue an der Wandung des Müllbehälters anliegt.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bracket according to the invention can replace the known receiving pocket in a simple manner in that the web part connecting the legs and lying at a distance from the front wall of the container trough is bent upwards in the side view of the container towards the edge of the container trough and in Front view is provided with a central arcuate curvature with a vertex facing the edge. This configuration according to the invention of the bracket forming the receiving device can be understood as a line or strip-shaped section of the front wall of the receiving pocket of the known refuse container. The correspondingly spherically curved bracket is supported on the spherically curved front of the receiving claw, so that it can basically perform the same holding function as the known receiving pocket. The spherically curved web part of the bracket is supported on the front of the spherically curved receiving claw, while the rear flat part of the receiving claw rests against the wall of the waste container.

Darüber hinaus vermag der erfindungsgemäße die Aufnahmevorrichtung bildende Bügel in ähnlicher Weise wie die bekannte Aufnahmetasche beim Ankuppeln der Aufnahmeklaue zentrierend zu wirken. Denn die Aufnahmeklaue braucht nur in der Weise unterhalb des Bügels verfahren zu werden, daß er sich in dessen senkrechter Projektionsfläche befindet. Beim Hochfahren der Aufnahmeklaue stößt diese auf den Bügel oder Bügelteile und rutscht dabei auf dem Stegteil des Bügels ab, bis dieser die Aufnahmeklaue in zentrierter Form formschlüssig einfaßt.In addition, the bracket according to the invention, which forms the receiving device, can act in a similar manner to the known receiving pocket when coupling the receiving claw centering. This is because the receiving claw only has to be moved below the bracket in such a way that it is located in its vertical projection surface. When the receiving claw is raised, it bumps onto the bracket or bracket parts and slips on the web part of the bracket until it positively engages the receiving claw in a centered form.

Zweckmäßigerweise verläuft der Stegteil zwischen der mittleren Krümmung und den Schenkeln bogenförmig.The web part expediently runs in an arcuate manner between the central curvature and the legs.

Die bogenförmig verlaufenden Teile können in zwei sich kreuzen denen Ebenen gekrümmt sein. Durch diese sphärischen Krümmungen sind sie in guter Weise der sphärischen Krümmung der Aufnahmeklaue angepaßt.The arcuate parts can cross in two whose planes are curved. Due to these spherical curvatures, they are well adapted to the spherical curvature of the receiving claw.

Weiterhin sind die bogenförmig gekrümmten Teile des Stegteils und die Schenkel des Bügels symmetrisch zu der durch den Scheitel verlaufenden Mittelebene.Furthermore, the arcuately curved parts of the web part and the legs of the bracket are symmetrical to the central plane running through the apex.

Nach einer erfinderischen Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, daß die Schenkel des Bügels schwenkbar und in unterschiedlichen Schwenkstellungen arretierbar an den Seitenwandungen befestigt sind. Durch diese Ausgestaltung läßt sich der jeweilige Spalt zwischen der Vorderwand de Müllbehälters und dem Stegteil einstellen und auf unterschiedliche Kammaufnahmen oder Aufnahmeklauen anpassen.According to an inventive development, it is provided that the legs of the bracket are pivotally attached and lockable in different pivot positions on the side walls. With this configuration, the respective gap between the front wall of the refuse container and the web part can be adjusted and adapted to different comb receptacles or receiving claws.

Weiterhin kann es zum Abstellen der Müllbehälter in übliche Sichtschutzkästen erforderlich sein, das Aufnahmeprofil niederzuschwenken. Auch dies läßt sich mit dem erfindungsgemäßen schwenkbaren Bügel in einfacher Weise bewerkstelligen.Furthermore, it may be necessary to swivel the mounting profile down in order to put the waste containers in conventional privacy boxes. This can also be accomplished in a simple manner with the pivotable bracket according to the invention.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Bügel zwischen der oberen umlaufenden Behälterkante und seiner Anlage an der unteren Vorderwand der Behälterwanne in seiner unteren Stellung schwenkbar.The bracket is expediently pivotable in its lower position between the upper peripheral edge of the container and its abutment on the lower front wall of the container trough.

Der in der Zeichnung dargestellte Müllbehälter weist eine Behälterwanne 1 mit etwa rechteckigem Querschnitt auf und ist in dem hinteren Bereich seines Bodens in eingezogenen Radkästen mit Laufrädern 2 versehen. Der obere Rand der Behälterwanne 1 ist durch ein umlaufendes Randprofil 3 ausgesteift. Der Müllbehälter ist durch einen Klappdeckel 4 geschlossen, dessen Gelenk 5 auf der Behälterrückseite liegt.The garbage container shown in the drawing has a container trough 1 with an approximately rectangular cross section and is provided in the rear region of its base in retracted wheel arches with running wheels 2. The upper edge of the container trough 1 is stiffened by a peripheral edge profile 3. The garbage container is closed by a hinged lid 4, the joint 5 of which lies on the back of the container.

Der Müllbehälter ist mit einer Aufnahmevorrichtung für eine sphärisch gekrümmte dreieckige Aufnahmeklaue 6 einer Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtung 7 eines Müllfahrzeugs 8 versehen, die aus einem sphärisch gekrümmten Bügel 9 besteht. Dieser sphärisch gekrümmte Bügel 9 ist in Draufsicht auf den Müllbehälter etwa U-förmig. Die seitlichen geraden Endbereiche 10 der Schenkel des Bügels 9 sind an Halteteilen 11 befestigt, die mit den Seitenwandungen 12 des Müllbehälters verschraubt oder in sonstiger Weise verbunden sind. Ausgehend von den geraden Endteilen 10 der Schenkel ist das mittlere Stegteil 13 des Schenkels in der Seitenansicht des Behälters nach oben in Richtung auf den Behälterrand 3 gekrümmt. In der Vorderansicht weist das Stegteil 13 des Bügels 9 die Form von in einem stumpfen Winkel miteinander verbundener Schenkel auf, wobei der Winkelbereich durch einen bogenförmig gekrümmten Teil gebildet ist, dessen konvexer Scheitel gegen den Behälterrand 4 gerichtet ist. Ausgehend von dem Scheitel 14 des bogenförmig gekrümmten mittleren Teils verlaufen die anschließenden Teile des mittleren Stegteils und der sphärischer Krümmung zu den geraden Endbereichen 10 der Schenkel. Der Bügel 9 ist zu einer durch den Scheitel 14 des mittleren bogenförmigen Teils verlaufenden Mittelebene symmetrisch ausgebildet.The garbage container is provided with a receiving device for a spherically curved triangular receiving claw 6 of a lifting and tilting device 7 of a garbage truck 8, which consists of a spherically curved bracket 9. This spherically curved bracket 9 is approximately U-shaped in plan view of the waste container. The lateral straight end regions 10 of the legs of the bracket 9 are fastened to holding parts 11 which are screwed to the side walls 12 of the refuse container or are connected in some other way. Starting from the straight end parts 10 of the legs, the middle web part 13 of the legs is curved upwards in the side view of the container in the direction of the container edge 3. In the front view, the web part 13 of the bracket 9 has the shape of legs joined together at an obtuse angle, the angular region being formed by an arcuately curved part, the convex apex of which is directed towards the container edge 4. Starting from the apex 14 of the arch curved middle part, the adjoining parts of the middle web part and the spherical curvature run to the straight end regions 10 of the legs. The bracket 9 is formed symmetrically to a central plane extending through the apex 14 of the central arcuate part.

Der Bügel 9 besteht zweckmäßigerweise aus einem entsprechend gekrümmten Metallrohr.The bracket 9 expediently consists of a correspondingly curved metal tube.

Die Aufnahmeklaue 6 besteht aus einem etwa dreieckförmigen Keil, dessen durch die seitlichen Schenkel gebildeten Kanten ausgehend von der im wesentlichen ebenen Vorderseite keilförmig abgeschrägt oder sphärisch gekrümmt sind. Zum Heben und Ankuppeln der Behälter ist es lediglich erforderlich, die Aufnahmeklaue 6 in der gestrichelten Weise unter den Stegteil des Bügels 9 zu verfahren und anschließend in vertikaler Richtung anzuheben, so daß er sich an dem Bügel 9 zentrierend ausrichtet.The receiving claw 6 consists of an approximately triangular wedge, the edges of which are formed by the lateral legs, starting from the essentially flat front, are chamfered in a wedge shape or spherically curved. To lift and couple the containers, it is only necessary to move the receiving claw 6 in the dashed manner under the web part of the bracket 9 and then to lift it in the vertical direction so that it aligns itself with the bracket 9.

Weisen die Müllbehälter eine im Querschnitt runde Behälterwanne auf, weist die Aufnahmeklaue zweckmäßigerweise eine entsprechend abgerundete Vorderseite auf.If the waste containers have a container trough which is round in cross section, the receiving claw expediently has a correspondingly rounded front.

Die Müllbehälter können aus Kunststoff oder aber auch aus Blech bestehen.The garbage containers can be made of plastic or sheet metal.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 3 und 4 sind die Schenkel 16 des Bügels 9 an mit den Seitenwandungen 12 verbundenen Verstärkungsplatten 17 schwenkbar und in unterschiedlichen Schwenkstellungen arretierbar gelagert. Auf die mit den Seitenwandungen verschraubten Verstärkungsplatten 17 sind endseitig verzahnte buchsenartige Rohrstücke 18 aufgeschweißt, deren Zähne 19 arretierend in Zähne 21 eines buchsenförmigen Rohrstücks 20 eingreifen können, das als Gegenkupplungsstück in der dargestellten Weise an die Enden der Schenkel 16 des Bügels 9 angeschweißt ist. Die Rohrstücke 18, 20 und die Enden der Schenkel 16 sind mit einer fluchtenden Bohrung versehen, die der Gewindebolzen 22 durchsetzt, der mit der Seitenwandung oder der Verstärkungsplatte 17 verbunden ist. Zwischen den beiden verzahnten rohrförmigen Kupplungsteilen 18, 20 ist eine Druckfeder 23 eingespannt, die auf den Bolzen 22 aufgeschoben ist. Auf den die Bohrungen durchsetzenden Gewindebolzen 22 läßt sich die Flügelmutter 24 aufschrauben. Zur Arretierung des Bügels in einer gewünschten Winkellage wird die Flügelmutter 24 nach Einstellung der Winkellage auf den Bolzen 22 aufgeschraubt, bis die Verzahnungen 19, 21 der Kupplungsstücke in Eingriff miteinander geraten. Durch Lösen der Flügelschraube, Verschwenken des Bügels und erneutes Festziehen lassen sich schnell unterschiedliche Winkelstellungen einstellen. Das durch den Bügel 9 gebildete Aufnahmeprofil läßt sich in Richtung der Pfeile A und B verschwenken und in unterschiedlichen Schwenklagen fixieren.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4, the legs 16 of the bracket 9 are pivotably mounted on reinforcing plates 17 connected to the side walls 12 and can be locked in different pivoting positions. On the reinforcement plates 17 screwed to the side walls, end-toothed socket-like pipe pieces 18 are welded, the teeth 19 of which can interlock in teeth 21 of a socket-shaped pipe piece 20, which acts as a counter-coupling piece in the manner shown on the ends of the legs 16 of the bracket 9 is welded. The pipe sections 18, 20 and the ends of the legs 16 are provided with an aligned bore through which the threaded bolt 22 passes, which is connected to the side wall or the reinforcing plate 17. A compression spring 23, which is pushed onto the bolt 22, is clamped between the two toothed tubular coupling parts 18, 20. The wing nut 24 can be screwed onto the threaded bolt 22 passing through the bores. To lock the bracket in a desired angular position, the wing nut 24 is screwed onto the bolt 22 after the angular position has been adjusted until the teeth 19, 21 of the coupling pieces come into engagement with one another. By loosening the wing screw, swiveling the bracket and tightening it again, you can quickly set different angular positions. The receiving profile formed by the bracket 9 can be pivoted in the direction of arrows A and B and fixed in different pivot positions.
