Definitions

  • the invention relates to a receiving device for refuse collection vehicles with a carriage that can be moved on a guide rail, the guide rail being pivotable via pivotable arms and with a gripping device articulated on the carriage.
  • Such a receiving device is already known from EP 0235784 B by the same applicant.
  • refuse containers can be picked up from the refuse collection vehicle and emptied into a pouring opening of a collecting container or into a receiving space provided with conveying and pressing devices.
  • the known pick-up device can be moved to one side of the refuse collection vehicle, so that garbage containers or refuse containers standing next to the refuse collection vehicle can be picked up.
  • it is very labor-intensive to pick up garbage containers with this known pick-up device, which are on both sides of the road and thus on both sides of the garbage collection vehicle. In this case, either the garbage containers must be transported to the side of the street to which the receiving device can be moved, or the vehicle has to drive on the road twice - each in the opposite direction.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to further develop a generic pick-up device such that it can receive garbage containers on both sides of the refuse collection vehicle, the pick-up device being designed to be comparatively simple and robust.
  • this object is achieved in that the carriage can be moved in both directions on the guide rail and that the gripping device is mounted in the carriage so that it can be swung out laterally on both sides. Accordingly, the laterally movable receiving device in the front area of the refuse collection vehicle can be moved both to the right and to the left. The refuse collection container is picked up in each case with the same container pick-up device, so that a change of the pick-up side does not require any additional constructional effort and also does not result in any significant loss of time.
  • the Receiving device designed in such a way that a first swivel arm is connected at one end via a bolt to the slide and at the other end via a bolt to an end of a parallel second swivel arm.
  • the second end of the second swivel arm is connected via a bolt to one end of a parallel third swivel arm and the other end of the third swivel arm is in turn connected to the slide via a bolt.
  • a first piston-cylinder arrangement is articulated on the carriage and on the first swivel arm, while a second piston-cylinder arrangement is articulated on the carriage and the third swivel arm.
  • the gripping device can be fastened or supported on the second swivel arm.
  • the carriage can be moved along the guide rail via motor-driven traction elements.
  • the receiving device according to the invention can be equipped with different gripping devices known per se.
  • the gripping device can be designed as a pick-up comb.
  • a pick-up comb is known for example from DE 3238810 A. It should be noted here that the pick-up comb does not allow automatic centering and cannot be used automatically.
  • the gripping device is designed as a pick-up claw, as is known, for example, from DE 3902177 C, so that the refuse container is automatically centered.
  • a pick-up claw has one upwards Pointing tip, which is inserted into receiving pockets on the waste bin that are open at the bottom. The centering is done by a convex spherically curved front and the essentially flat rear wall on the receiving claw.
  • a gripping device actuated by a piston cylinder can be used as the gripping device, where two opposite articulated gripping arms are able to grasp a refuse container. It is advantageous here that different container sizes can be accommodated with such a device.
  • Fork arms can also serve as the gripping device, which engage in holding elements provided for this purpose.
  • Such fork arms are already known from DE 2547877 A. However, they require that the refuse collection vehicle hits the refuse container head-on.
  • a triangular coupling claw with straight boundary surfaces can also be used as the gripping device, which engages in a complementary receiving pocket on the waste container.
  • Coupling claws of this type are already known from US Pat. No. 4,726,726.
  • FIGs 1 and 3 the refuse collection vehicle is only partially shown with 1.
  • the front area of the cab is shown here.
  • a slide 4 is movably mounted on this guide rail.
  • this embodiment corresponds to the structure and the mode of operation of the receiving device described in EP 0235784 B.
  • the carriage 4 comprises the guide rail 3 claw-like.
  • the carriage 4 can be moved on both sides of the guide rail by a suitable drive.
  • This drive is gem.
  • the present embodiment is formed by a motor-operated chain or a motor-driven belt 6.
  • the belt 6 is fastened to the slide by means of two holders 13 and 13 'and is deflected twice. A deflection takes place on the deflection roller 12 and a further deflection takes place on the drive motor 5.
  • the motor 5 is, for example, hydraulic, pneumatic or electrical powered engine. If the belt 6 is driven by the motor 5, it changes its length ratio to the holders 13 and 13 'on the carriage 4. Since the deflection roller 12 and the motor 5 are fixedly mounted on the guide rail 3, the carriage 4 moves, depending on Direction of rotation of the motor 5, along the guide rail 3 to the right or left.
  • FIGS. 1 and 3 Three swivel arms 7, 10 and 11 are articulated on the slide 4. It can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 3 that the swivel arm 11 either in combination with the swivel arm 7 or in combination with the swivel arm 10 both around the bearing point 19 (see FIG. 1) and around the bearing point 18 (see FIG. 3) is pivotable.
  • the piston-cylinder unit 9 arranged between the slide 4 and the swivel arm 10 is extended.
  • the piston-cylinder assembly 8 which runs between the carriage and the pivot arm 7, extended.
  • the cylinders can be operated hydraulically or pneumatically.
  • first pivot arm 7 is connected at one end via a bolt 18 b to the carriage and at the other end via a bolt 19 a with one end of the parallel second pivot arm 11.
  • the second end of the second swivel arm 11 is connected via a bolt 18 c to one end of a parallel third swivel arm 10 and the other end of the third swivel arm is in turn connected to the carriage 4 via a bolt 19 d.
  • the pivot arm 11 is formed at its ends on one side in a c-shape upwards and on the other side in a c-shape downwards, as can be seen in FIG. 9.
  • a major advantage of the receiving device according to the invention consists in that when the receiving device is pivoted to one side in each case by one of the pressurized hydraulic cylinders 8 or 9, the pivot arm 11 rests either in the bearing point 18 or 19.
  • FIGS. 4-8 different container holding devices can be mounted on the swivel arms. These container receptacles are each screwed to the swivel arm 11 via corresponding strips 20 a.
  • two mounting combs 20 arranged parallel to one another are arranged on the mounting strip 20 a shown.
  • the structure of such a pick-up comb is known, for example, from DE 3238810 A and need not be explained in more detail here.
  • two holding claws 21 arranged next to one another are fastened to the holding device via the mounting bar 20 a.
  • These pick-up claws are already known as such from DE 3902177 C.
  • a piston-cylinder-operated gripping device 22 as is known from DE 3620610 A.
  • Fig. 7 shows as a gripping device two on the mounting rail 20 a arranged holder elements 23, which are described in their structure in DE 2547877 A.
  • FIG. 8 an embodiment is shown in which two triangular coupling claws 24 are arranged side by side on the mounting rail 20 a, which as such are already known from US 4726726.
  • Both piston-cylinder arrangements 8 and 9 are retracted for driving the refuse collection vehicle 1.
  • the swivel arms are locked or unlocked via an automatically actuable lock, which is not shown in the figures.
