Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vehicle for collecting waste, hereinafter referred to as waste collection vehicle, which has a collection container, preferably detachably arranged behind an operating platform, in particular behind the driver's cab of a motor vehicle, which has a filling arranged in the upper region and at least one wall part which can be opened for emptying, preferably an end wall , and which is provided with means for compacting the waste filled in the collecting container.
  • waste collection vehicle which has a collection container, preferably detachably arranged behind an operating platform, in particular behind the driver's cab of a motor vehicle, which has a filling arranged in the upper region and at least one wall part which can be opened for emptying, preferably an end wall , and which is provided with means for compacting the waste filled in the collecting container.
  • a waste collection vehicle is also known in which a hopper is arranged on the chassis between the driver's cab and the collection container detachably connected to the vehicle.
  • the waste collection containers are emptied into this hopper via a pair of swivel arms in the manner of an overhead loader.
  • the waste is then transferred from this hopper through a scoop device into the filler opening at the top of the collecting container. It is not possible to compact the waste in the collection container, so that an optimal loading cannot be achieved.
  • this vehicle has the further disadvantage that the arrangement of the hopper between the collecting container and the driver's cab greatly reduces the volume available for the collecting container.
  • a waste collection vehicle is known from US Pat. No. 3,643,824, in which a hopper is arranged between the driver's cab and the collection container which is fixedly but tiltably connected to the chassis and which is loaded from the ground with small waste collection containers by hand or by means of a corresponding pouring device can.
  • the waste lying in the hopper is then pushed into the collecting container via a slide through an opening arranged in the bottom area in the end wall of the collecting container. Since the waste in the bottom area is pushed into the collecting container, it is not possible to fill the collecting container completely and thus to fully utilize the available volume of the collecting container. Compressing the garbage is also not possible with this arrangement.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a refuse collection vehicle of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages of the above-described systems, and in particular, the advantages of the overhead loader known, namely that the garbage workers can work in front of the cab in line of sight with the driver Use for emptying small-volume waste collection containers, in particular household waste collection containers.
  • At least one intermediate container for receiving the waste from waste collection containers is arranged in the front area of the driver's cab, which is connected to means for emptying its contents into the overhead filling of the collecting container, and that a moving device is connected to the vehicle for the intermediate container, which moves it from its filling position in the floor area in front of the driver's cab to at least one level above the driver's cab.
  • the arrangement of such an intermediate container in the front area of the driver's cab has the advantage that the space behind the driver's cab is practically its entire length available for accommodating the collecting container, so that the largest possible collecting containers can be used.
  • the term front area in the sense of the invention covers both the space in front of the cab and the space above the cab.
  • Another advantage of the vehicle according to the invention over conventional refuse collection vehicles is a better weight distribution, since the components required for handling the refuse collection vessels, including the intermediate container, are absorbed by the vehicle front axle with their weight, so that the rear axle area is fully accommodated by the filled one Collection container defined load is available. This results in a better load distribution.
  • Another advantage of the refuse collection vehicle designed according to the invention is that the The intermediate container is emptied through an opening at the top of the collecting container, so that an optimal filling of the collecting container is possible in connection with a compression device. Filling from above is particularly important for the compression process, since here the amounts of waste given via the intermediate container are pushed together from the filling opening of the collecting container towards the end of the container onto the opposite end wall and in each case compacted to below the container ceiling.
  • the arrangement of such a moving device offers the advantage, among other things, that the dimensions of the intermediate container can extend almost over the entire width of the vehicle and at least over the length of the cab, so that an intermediate container with a large capacity can be designed here. In the filling position close to the ground, this intermediate container can then be filled by hand with waste bags and small waste containers. However, the usual waste collection containers can also be emptied via a corresponding pouring device assigned to the intermediate container will.
  • the particular advantage here is that only little lifting work has to be done for the waste collection containers to be emptied and, accordingly, their emptying takes place more quickly. Since the intermediate container can be brought close to the ground by means of the moving device, the shortening of the stroke distance associated therewith also simplifies the design of the pouring device. As soon as the intermediate container is completely filled, it is raised to the height of the cab roof with the help of the moving device and its contents are conveyed through the emptying means into the collecting container behind the cab and filled there. If the intermediate container is still in its emptying position, the refuse collection vehicle can already drive to the next pick-up location, where the intermediate container is then moved back into its pick-up position close to the ground via the moving device.
  • a movement device is assigned to each.
  • the overall arrangement is such that the prescribed clearance profile of the vehicle is not exceeded when the intermediate container is raised, so that the vehicle can be driven in normal road traffic with the intermediate container raised.
  • the intermediate container is connected to at least one device for handling the waste collection containers to be emptied therein.
  • conventional pouring devices can be used, such as those used for handling household collection vessels with a volume between 50 and 240 l and / or for handling large collection vessels with a capacity of 1 up to 2m3 can be used.
  • the intermediate container is expedient to construct the intermediate container in a closed construction with a filler opening that can be opened via the pouring device execution. If only one intermediate container is arranged, this can also be connected to two or more pouring devices, so that several waste collection containers can be emptied at the same time.
  • the intermediate container has a discharge opening which is separate from the filling opening and which is connected to the filling opening of the collecting container at least during the emptying process and that the intermediate container has a discharge device acting in the direction of the discharge opening.
  • the bottom is preferably designed as a means for emptying in the form of a discharge device. This leads to a compact design and an easily controllable material flow during discharge.
  • the discharge device forming the bottom is formed by at least one drivable horizontal conveyor. In one configuration, this can be carried out in the form of at least one endless conveyor belt. In another embodiment, this can be done by a moving floor conveyor.
  • the discharge device as a whole that is to say the bottom of the intermediate container, is slidably mounted on the intermediate container from a rest position into a working position. In the rest position, the discharge device can be pressed tightly against the side walls of the intermediate container. For the emptying process, the discharge device is then moved at a short distance from the intermediate container and then moved in the direction of the collecting container.
  • the intermediate container In the rest position, the intermediate container can be moved freely at a short distance from the moving device during the lift to the height of the cab roof. By moving it against the collection container at the start of the emptying process, the discharge and discharge conditions become clear when the waste to be emptied is handed over an intermediate conveyor or directly into the collection container cheaper.
  • the emptying opening of the intermediate container and / or the filling opening of the collecting container can be closed. This makes it possible to form the intermediate container closed except for the openings mentioned.
  • the intermediate container is subdivided into at least two partial intermediate containers and that each partial intermediate container is assigned an emptying opening.
  • each intermediate container can be connected to its own pouring device for the waste collection containers.
  • Each sub-intermediate container is then assigned its own moving device so that each sub-intermediate container can be moved independently of the other.
  • At least a part of the partial containers is detachably connected to one another when the collecting container is divided.
  • This has the advantage that, for example, household waste, which form the main part, is thrown into a larger basic container, which can also form the supporting body for the detachable partial containers.
  • Hazardous waste can then be disposed of in the sub-bins.
  • a large hospital or a remote health clinic can be served with just one disposal trip.
  • the sub-containers with the special waste can then be disposed of separately from normal waste without any reloading.
  • glass or paper can also be sorted away with the household waste be provided if it is provided in a pre-sorted manner.
  • the intermediate container can then move to the individual sub-containers of the collecting container in a targeted manner by means of a corresponding control for emptying.
  • At least one wall part oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis of the collecting container is designed to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the container and is connected to a preferably hydraulically actuated pressing device which acts on the displaceable wall part.
  • the wall part can be formed by a container wall, but also by a press plate which bears against a container wall.
  • a separable coupling is to be provided in the case of a detachable design of the collecting container, which in operation provides the forward and return stroke required for compression Front wall allowed.
  • This also has the advantage that relatively small refuse collection vehicles can be used, which can also be moved in narrow streets.
  • the arrangement of the intermediate container and its filling via the front area of the vehicle is advantageous because of the better monitoring.
  • the filled collection containers can then still be parked by the waste collection vehicle within its area of use and replaced by a new, empty container, so that only the disposal area can be traveled by for the waste collection vehicle with its operating team is.
  • the filled collection containers can then be transported off the road by other vehicles which are also capable of transporting several such collection containers, or else can be carried out via the rail network to more distant landfills. It is important that the waste does not have to be reloaded, but that the filled containers are only put down and then taken up again for transport.
  • the transport vehicles can then not only transport one or more such collection containers, but can also be driven with a trailer that can be loaded with collection containers.
  • the arrangement can also be designed so that the pressing device is arranged in or on the collecting container, so that only one coupling is to be provided for the pressure supply. It is expedient if the collecting container is provided with extendable floor supports. This makes it possible to use conventional trucks, which are set up for operation with so-called interchangeable bodies, for the transport of the collection containers described above, with the connection elements on the collection container being configured accordingly. This has the advantage that vehicles designed for the transport of the filled and emptied collection containers can be used for pure road traffic. If the waste is driven to a waste incineration plant, for example, the collecting container can be placed there on a tipping device, emptied and picked up again by the transport vehicle.
  • the moving device for the intermediate container is formed by a lifting device arranged in the front area of the driver's cab for an essentially vertical lifting movement and that at least one conveying means is arranged above the driver's cab, which extends into the area of the filling opening extends of the collecting container and in the raised position of the intermediate container from the discharge device with the filling material to be discharged is beatable.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that only a vertical movement is required for emptying the intermediate container and that for emptying the distance between the intermediate container, which is still in the raised position in front of the driver's cab, and the filling opening of the collecting container behind the driver's cab for the emptying process in a simple manner is bridged.
  • the funding above the cab can be formed, for example, by a so-called moving floor conveyor, which should only be provided, however, because of the overall dimensions, in particular the height of the cab roof, in relation to the filling opening of the collecting container, a horizontal orientation or downward inclination of the moving floor conveyor towards the collecting container is possible is.
  • the conveying means is formed by at least one drivable endless conveyor belt.
  • Such an endless conveyor belt which can also be subdivided into several parallel individual conveyor belts lying next to one another and which, according to the dimensions of the discharge device of the intermediate container, extends essentially over the width of the driver's cab, in contrast to a moving floor conveyor, also permits increasing conveyance.
  • This has the advantage that the intermediate container with the discharge end of its discharge device only needs to be raised approximately to the upper edge of the driver's cab and that the remaining height difference is bridged up to the filling opening of the collecting container by the endless conveyor belt arranged above the driver's cab. Since waste also contains rolling components, it is expedient here if the conveying surface of the conveyor belt is provided with projections, knobs or webs.
  • the conveying means is connected to the vehicle so as to be displaceable and lockable.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that, on the one hand, the stroke is completely free during the lifting movement of the intermediate container and that, after the end of the stroke, the receiving means can then be pushed with its receiving end under the discharge end of the discharge device of the intermediate container. This results in a large overlap of the discharge end of the discharge device and the receiving end of the conveying means, so that a perfect transfer of the waste discharged from the intermediate container to the conveying means is ensured.
  • the conveying means is shifted again against the collecting container above the driver's cab, so that the lifting path for the intermediate container is free again.
  • the conveying means can be moved forward so that the space required for changing a collecting container is available.
  • a conveying means extending over the width of the intermediate container is provided, preferably in the form of an endless conveyor belt, the conveying section of which, according to the division of the intermediate container, is provided with at least one separating web running in the conveying direction that extends beyond the end of the throw.
  • the conveying means is provided with a cover which extends on the feed side at least to the region of the intermediate container and on the discharge side to at least the filling opening of the collecting container.
  • the collecting container has the filling opening in the upper region on its front side facing the driver's cab and that the conveying means projects through this filling opening.
  • This configuration allows the use of particularly large collecting containers, the height of which extends to the upper limit of the permissible clearance profile, so that full use of the available space is possible.
  • the arrangement of a low-lying driver's cab in conjunction with a conveying means oriented obliquely from bottom to top against the filling opening of the collecting container also provides the possibility of providing large-volume intermediate containers in terms of height.
  • the wall part designed as a sliding plate has a window-like opening which corresponds to the filling opening and which is provided with a closure flap which can be swiveled inwards.
  • This arrangement makes it possible either to design the end face itself as a thrust plate or to provide the thrust plate as a separate component in the container, which can then extend over the entire container height and the entire container width.
  • the closure flap can either be raised by the end of the conveying means inserted into the opening or else by its own drive means. During the pressing process, the closure flap then automatically lies down in front of the window-like opening.
  • the collecting container has at the end facing the driver's cab in the ceiling area the filling opening which is provided with a flap which can be swiveled up towards the rear end of the container and that the conveying means with the end of its cover on the ejection side has the filling opening with the swung up Flap covered.
  • This configuration represents a particularly simple construction for both the collecting container and the conveying means. This configuration is particularly advantageous when a longitudinally divided collecting container is used for collecting sorted waste.
  • the conveyance arranged above the driver's cab does not have to be introduced into the individual chambers of the collecting container, but the waste can fall into the individual chambers of the collecting container from above through the filling opening, this offers the possibility of using only one conveyor belt as the means of conveyance Conveying area is only divided by appropriate dividers.
  • the cover is designed so that it can be swiveled up with its end covering the collecting container for a change of the collecting container.
  • the moving device for the intermediate container is formed by a lifting device arranged in the front area of the driver's cab for a substantially vertical lifting movement and a drive device for a substantially horizontal movement, preferably a longitudinal movement, above the driver's cab. by means of which the intermediate container can be moved back and forth above the driver's cab from its raised front position by means of a guide into an emptying position on the collecting container.
  • the guide can be designed in such a way that one section is arranged above the driver's cab and firmly connected to the chassis and the other section is firmly connected to the collecting container. This advantage also exists if the intermediate container is subdivided into at least two partial intermediate containers which can be moved independently of one another.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the movement of the intermediate container is composed only of a substantially vertically extending lifting component and a movement component extending in a substantially horizontal plane, so that, in contrast to the swivel arms of the known overhead loader, at no time during the movement of the intermediate container the prescribed clearance profile is exceeded.
  • the lifting device can be formed, for example, by a carriage that can be moved up and down essentially vertically in front of the driver's cab with the aid of a lifting drive, or else by means of correspondingly arranged swivel levers that raise the intermediate container only up to the level of the horizontal movement plane.
  • a slide design for the basic movement of the lifting device and, with regard to the greatest possible ground clearance, to carry out the final movement when the intermediate container is lowered in the floor area by means of swivel levers.
  • the movement in the horizontal plane can be carried out by a swiveling movement, by means of which the intermediate container is swiveled about a vertical axis directly into its emptying position, possibly even shifted after swiveling, or by one to the Subsequent sliding movement to the emptying position.
  • drive means are provided which move the intermediate container on the guide into the emptying position on the collecting container and back into the raised position.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that despite the relative mobility of the intermediate container on the guide of the latter via the drive means, for example horizontally acting hydraulic cylinders, revolving endless chains or a driven carriage receiving the intermediate container, it remains detectably connected to the refuse collection vehicle in the direction of movement.
  • the intermediate container can be guided with its underside resting on the guides or, with corresponding connecting means, with its top or hanging laterally on the guides.
  • the emptying opening of the intermediate container is provided with a lockable closure flap, and that actuating means for releasing the locking and / or opening the closure flap are arranged on the guide in the region of the emptying position at the associated filling opening of the collecting container.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that the actuating means, preferably hydraulic cylinders, can be arranged on the fixed parts of the guide, so that no energy supply lines can be brought to the intermediate container.
  • the intermediate container can be replaced in a simple manner for maintenance purposes, for example for maintenance of the closure formed, for example, by flaps, without pressure lines having to be released here.
  • each partial container has a corresponding closure which can only be opened at the associated filling opening of the collecting container.
  • the emptying opening of the intermediate container is arranged at the rear end thereof and that a discharge device movable against the emptying opening is arranged in the intermediate container as a means for emptying.
  • This configuration of the intermediate container can be provided both in the case of an intermediate container which can only be raised to the height of the driver's cab and which is emptied onto the conveying means, and also in the case of an intermediate container which can be moved via the moving device up to the collecting container.
  • the discharge device can also be used to partially compact the waste in the intermediate container. For emptying, the waste is then pushed out through the discharge opening through the discharge device.
  • the discharge device in the sense of the invention is both a movable push plate, as well as a rolling or scraper floor or a so-called push rod floor in the intermediate container. It is primarily important that the waste quantities falling into the intermediate container are moved to its emptying opening.
  • the intermediate container is exchangeably connected to the moving device.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that intermediate containers of this type can also be used as large-volume waste collection containers, for example for hazardous or bulky waste, so that the waste collection vehicle only picks up the parked intermediate container, empties it into the collecting container of the vehicle and sets it down again at the receiving point.

Since the arrangement of the conveying means 21 between the intermediate container 13 and the collecting container 2 largely leaves freedom with regard to the length dimensions for the driver's cab, a further advantage of such an embodiment is shown here. On longer journeys, such as occur in scattered settlements, the driver's cab can be equipped with a second bench so that the operating personnel can get into the driver's cab.
  • FIG. 3 shows a somewhat simpler construction for the collecting container 2.
  • the arrangement and actuation of the intermediate container 13 essentially corresponds to the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the arrangement and function of the conveyor 21 are shown in the emptying position.
  • the filling opening 11 of the collecting container 2 is arranged in the ceiling area thereof, so that the waste can be thrown into the collecting container 2 from above by the conveying means 21, as shown.
  • the filling opening 11 can be closed with a closure flap 27.
  • the cover 25 of the conveyor 21 is designed so that it extends over the filler opening 11 with its flap 27 and covers it upwards.
  • the cover is divided here so that the one above the filling opening 11 of the collecting container 2 lying part 25 'can be pivoted up when setting down or receiving a collecting container 2, so that here the necessary free space for the movements are available.
  • the intermediate container 13 is also connected in a sealed manner to the cover hood 25.
  • a collecting container 2 is shown, which is divided either by the dash-dotted walls 28 in the longitudinal direction into three chambers, in each of which a separate press plate 7 is moved.
  • a container by partitions 28 into three chambers it is also possible to provide three correspondingly narrow partial containers that can be detached from one another.
  • the intermediate container 13 is then likewise divided into three partial containers by intermediate walls and provided with three fillings, so that the various types of waste can be dropped into the partial intermediate containers.
  • a discharge device in the form of an endless belt extending over the entire width of the intermediate container can be provided, since the different types of waste remain separated by the intermediate walls.
  • the conveying means 21 can also, as can be seen from FIG. 4, be formed by a wide endless conveyor belt.
  • the intermediate webs 30 must protrude accordingly far, so that in each case during the transfer from the discharge device 19 to the conveying means 21 or from the conveying means 21 into the partial containers 2a, 2b and 2c, the pre-sorted waste is not mixed again.
  • Fig. 3 can also be used without further ado with an undivided collecting container and undivided intermediate container, ie only for one type of waste or for unsorted waste.
  • Fig. 5 is a side view compared to the embodiment according.
  • Fig. 2 shows a modified design.
  • the lifting device 12 ' consists essentially of an approximately centrally arranged in front of the vehicle lifting column 14'; the intermediate container 13 is connected to the lifting column 14 'in such a way that it can first be raised in the manner described above with its floor level up over the roof of the cab 1'. In this position the intermediate container 13 can then be pivoted about the vertical axis of the lifting column against the collecting container 2, as can be seen from FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the intermediate container 13 is designed so that it is accessible from the roadside, which is indicated by the arrows and the schematically shown pouring devices.
  • the emptying opening 16 is located on the end face (based on the filling position near the ground), so that after the intermediate container 13 has been raised and pivoted, it is turned towards a filling opening 11 arranged on the collecting container 2.
  • the bottom of the intermediate container 13 is formed as a horizontally displaceable discharge device 19, for example in the form of a Endless conveyor belt, then after the pivoting of the intermediate container, the discharge device with its discharge end 24 can be inserted into the filling opening of the collecting container, so that the filling material can be introduced directly from the intermediate container into the collecting container.
  • the discharge device 19 can be designed so that it has two lateral boundary webs 19 ', which encompass the intermediate container 13 on the outside, so that when the intermediate container 13 is emptied, no filling material can fall down laterally.
  • the discharge device 19 forming the bottom of the intermediate container 13 can, however, also be firmly connected to the container in this embodiment.
  • Fig. 1 or Fig. 3 above the roof of the cab 1 'to provide an additional, horizontally displaceable funding that causes the transfer of the product emerging from the intermediate container 13 into the collecting container 2.
  • Fig. 7 a modification is shown in which the intermediate container 13 is releasably held on a lifting frame 31 and can be moved via drive means, not shown, via a guide 32 above the cab 1 'and arranged on the collecting container 2 guides 33.
  • the collecting container 2 is again divided into partial containers by transverse walls 34, which can be emptied via corresponding side flaps, bottom flaps or the like.
  • the filling openings 11 'of the partial container are closed on the top with flaps 35 which can be opened, for example, by actuating means which are connected to the movable intermediate container 13.
  • the subdivision of the collecting container 2, which is only shown schematically here, is expediently carried out in such a way that, based on experience, the smaller quantities of waste are thrown into the front, smaller partial containers the while the main amount, usually household waste, is thrown into the larger part of the container at the end of the container, so that it can be emptied via an openable rear wall 4 as before.
  • the intermediate container 13 is also subdivided into partial containers in accordance with the intended fractions of the pre-sorting, but each of which must be assigned a separate discharge device 19 with its own drive, so that when the assigned partial container is reached, the associated intermediate intermediate container is also targeted can be emptied.
  • a cover 25 ' can extend substantially over the entire length of the vehicle.
  • the guides for the intermediate container can also be attached to the cover.
  • a movable cover plate 26 is arranged on the guides, against which the intermediate container is pressed in its upper position by the lifting device. This is particularly advantageous for intermediate containers that are completely open at the top. These are then closed by the cover plate for the travel process.
  • the cover plate also serves as a moving device for the horizontal movement and is accordingly provided with releasable coupling means for coupling and uncoupling the intermediate container in the area of the lifting device.
  • the transfer area can be closed in a practically dust-tight manner.
  • the filling opening 15 on the intermediate container 13 can be provided in a known manner with a flap which can be actuated by the pouring device 18, the intermediate container being otherwise closed.
  • the cover 25 even when the intermediate container is emptied when the waste is transferred to the Funding 21 the escape of dust can be practically avoided.
  • This also applies to the connection of the cover to the filling opening 11 of the collecting container 2.
  • the cover 25 is expediently tubular, so that the underside of the conveying means 21 (FIGS. 1 to 3) or the guides 32 (FIG. 7) is also enclosed.
  • Both the discharge device 19 forming the bottom of the intermediate container 13 and the conveying means 21 are expediently closed on the underside of the tub and provided with a drain so that mostly small amounts of liquid emerging from the waste can be collected and disposed of.
  • the trough-like end is designed so that it engages around the side walls on the outside. This also makes subsequent cleaning easier.
  • the trough-like closure of the underside is suitable for an endless conveyor belt as well as for a moving floor or pendulum floor conveyor, which has several beam-shaped floor segments aligned in the direction of conveyance, all of which are advanced to the discharge opening during the conveying process, and are withdrawn one after the other in partial groups for the return phase.
  • a moving floor or pendulum floor conveyor which has several beam-shaped floor segments aligned in the direction of conveyance, all of which are advanced to the discharge opening during the conveying process, and are withdrawn one after the other in partial groups for the return phase.
  • the same effect can also be achieved if, alternatively, part of the base segments is raised slightly and moved in the discharge direction while the other part is withdrawn. At the next working stroke, the process is reversed.
  • a lifting device as is known from forklifts.
  • a lifting device has at least one hydraulic cylinder 38, in which a roller 40 is arranged at the free end of the piston rod 39.
  • a link chain 41 is guided, which is fastened with one end 42 in the lower region of the vehicle and with its other end 43 to the intermediate container 13, so that when the piston rod is extended, the intermediate container moves vertically upward from the filling position in the bottom region into the upper position becomes as shown in Fig. 2.
  • Fig. 8 only the substructure of the intermediate container is indicated schematically.
