Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hubkipp- oder Kippvorrichtung zum Entleeren von Müllbehältern in einen Sammelbehälter mit einer Greifschiene zum Erfassen des Müllbehälters an seiner Mitnahmeeinrichtung.The invention relates to a lifting and tipping device for emptying garbage containers into a collecting container with a gripping rail for gripping the garbage container at its entrainment device.

Aus der DE-PS 21 46 653 ist eine Entleervorrichtung mit einer kammartig ausgebildeten Greifschiene bekannt, die die Behälter unter ihrem vorderen Rand erfaßt, wobei die Länge der Greifschiene in etwa die Breit der Einschüttöffnung des Sammelbehälters entspricht. Mit dieser Vorrichtung können wahlweise große und kleine Behälter in beliebiger Reihenfolge entleert werden. Voraussetzung hierfür ist allerdings, daß die zu entleerenden Behälter eine zur Greifschiene passende Mitnahmeeinrichtung aufweisen, die für alle Behälter gleichartig sein muß.From DE-PS 21 46 653 an emptying device with a comb-shaped gripping rail is known, which detects the container under its front edge, the length of the gripping rail corresponds approximately to the width of the pouring opening of the collecting container. With this device, large and small containers can be emptied in any order. The prerequisite for this, however, is that the containers to be emptied have a driving device which is suitable for the gripping rail and which must be the same for all containers.

Zur sicheren Entleerung werden die Behälter während des Einkippvorganges verriegelt, um das Herausfallen zu verhindern und die Müllwerker nicht zu gefährden. Behälter, die mit einer solchen kammartig ausgebildeten Greifschiene entleert werden, werden am Ende des Hubweges vor Beginn der Kippbewegung gegen eine Verriegelungsleiste gefahren, die auf dem Rand des Behälters an dessen Oberseite angreift und den Behälter zwischen der Aufnahme und der Verriegelungsleiste mit wenig Spielraum einklemmt. Mit dieser Vorrichtung bzw. mit der Aufnahme können zwar Behälter unterschiedlicher Größe entleert werden, sie müssen jedoch zum System der Behälterfamilie passen.For safe emptying, the containers are locked during the tipping process to prevent them from falling out and not to endanger the garbage workers. Containers that are emptied with such a comb-shaped gripping rail are moved at the end of the stroke before the start of the tilting movement against a locking bar that engages the top of the container and clamps the container between the receptacle and the locking bar with little clearance. Containers of different sizes can be emptied with this device or with the receptacle, but they must match the system of the container family.

Andererseits sind aus der EP-A-20 23 57 84 Behälter bekannt, die an ihrer Vorderseite eine Aufnahmetasche besitzen. Zum Entleeren dieser Behälter muß die Hubkippvorrichtung eine entsprechende Aufnahmeeinrichtung aufweisen, die aus einem Aufnahmekörper mit einer dreieckförmigen Aufnahmeklaue besteht. Derartige Behälter mit einer taschenförmigen Mitnahmeeinrichtung können allerdings nicht an solchen Hubkipp- oder Kippvorrichtungen entleert werden, die eine Greifschiene aufweisen.On the other hand, containers are known from EP-A-20 23 57 84 which have a receiving pocket on their front side. To empty these containers, the lifting and tilting device must have a corresponding receiving device, which consists of a receiving body with a triangular receiving claw. Such containers with a pocket-shaped entrainment device, however, cannot be emptied on such lift-and-tilt or tilting devices that have a gripping rail.

Die nachveröffentlichte DE-OS 4315054 A1 beschreibt eine Greifvorrichtung, die mit mindestens zwei unterschiedlichen Aufnahmen für die Behälter ausgestattet ist, wobei als Aufnahmen eine Kammleiste und ein Aufnahmekörper vorgesehen sind. Die Greifvorrichtung ist jedoch ein integrales Bauteil, wobei die Kammleiste ein Teil des Aufnahmekörpers ist. Kammleiste und Aufnahmekörper sind nicht unabhängig voneinander bewegbar oder austauschbar. Das integrierte Bauteil wild um eine senkrecht zur Kammleiste angeordnete Achse geschwenkt, wenn von der Kammleiste auf den dreieckförmigen Aufnahmekörper gewechselt werden soll und umgekehrt.The post-published DE-OS 4315054 A1 describes a gripping device which is equipped with at least two different receptacles for the containers, a comb strip and a receptacle body being provided as receptacles. However, the gripping device is an integral component, the comb strip being part of the receiving body. Comb strip and receiving body cannot be moved or exchanged independently of one another. The integrated component is pivoted wildly about an axis arranged perpendicular to the comb strip when changing from the comb strip to the triangular receiving body and vice versa.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Hubkippvorrichtung zu schaffen, mit der wahlweise Behälter mit unterschiedlichen Mitnahmeeinrichtungen entleert werden können, ohne aufwendige Umrüstmaßnahmen vornehmen zu müssen.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a lifting and tipping device with which containers with different entrainment devices can optionally be emptied without having to carry out complex conversion measures.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Hubkipp- oder Kippvorrichtung gelöst, bei der die Greifschiene von einer Aufnahmestellung A um eine horizontale Achse in Richtung Sammelbehälter in eine Ruhestellung R und umgekehrt schwenkbar am Hubrahmen befestigt ist und bei der am Hubrahmen zusätzlich ein Aufnahmekörper mit einer dreieckförmigen Aufnahmeklaue starr oder in vertikaler Richtung von einer unteren Ruhestellung R in eine obere Aufnahmestellung A und umgekehrt verschiebbar angeordnet ist.This object is achieved with a lifting and tipping device in which the gripping rail is pivotally attached to the lifting frame from a receiving position A about a horizontal axis in the direction of the collecting container into a rest position R and vice versa, and in which a receiving body with a triangular receiving claw is rigidly attached to the lifting frame or in the vertical direction from a lower rest position R to an upper receiving position A and vice versa.

Der Aufnahmekörper kann fest in der Position am Hubrahmen befestigt sein, die für die Aufnahme von Müllbehältern mit taschenförmiger Mitnahmeeinrichtung vorgesehen ist. In diesem Fall wird die Greifschiene vorzugsweise in Richtung Sammelbehälter weggeschwenkt, so daß diese die Aufnahme des Behälters nicht behindert. Das Wegschwenken der Greifschiene erfolgt vorzugsweise um eine horizontale, parallel zur Greifschiene angeordnete Achse. Wenn Behälter anderer Art mittels der Greifschiene erfaßt werden sollen, wird diese in ihre Aufnahmeposition geschwenkt, wobei der Aufnahmekörper mit der dreieckförmigen Aufnahmeklaue in seiner Position verbleibt. Damit der Aufnahmekörper die Aufnahme des Behälters mittels der Greifschiene nicht behindert, können je nach Ausgestaltung des Behälters am Aufnahmekörper Ausnehmungen vorgesehen sein, in die beispielsweise am Behälter angebrachte Versteifungsrippen eingreifen können. Der Aufnahmekörper dient somit in vorteilhafter Weise zusätzlich zur Fixierung des zu entleerenden Müllbehälters, so daß auf die üblicherweise vorhandene untere Abstützeinrichtung verzichtet werden kann, an der der zu entleerende Behälter mit seiner Vorderwand abstützend anliegt. Die erforderlichen Umrüstarbeiten beschränken sich lediglich auf das Verschwenken der Greifschiene, so daß innerhalb kurzer Zeit von einem Behältertyp auf einen anderen Behältertyp umgestellt werden kann.The receiving body can be fixed in the position on the lifting frame which is provided for receiving garbage containers with a pocket-shaped driving device. In this case, the gripping rail is preferably pivoted away in the direction of the collecting container so that it does not hinder the reception of the container. The gripping rail is preferably pivoted away about a horizontal axis arranged parallel to the gripping rail. If containers of a different type are to be gripped by means of the gripping rail, this is pivoted into its receiving position, the receiving body with the triangular receiving claw remaining in its position. So that the receiving body does not hinder the receiving of the container by means of the gripping rail, depending on the configuration of the container, recesses can be provided on the receiving body, into which, for example, stiffening ribs attached to the container can engage. The receiving body thus advantageously serves in addition to fix the garbage container to be emptied, so that it is possible to dispense with the lower support device, which is usually present, on which the container to be emptied is supported with its front wall. The necessary retrofitting work is limited to the pivoting of the gripping rail, so that it is possible to switch from one type of container to another type of container within a short time.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist der Aufnahmekörper in vertikaler Richtung von einer unteren Ruhestellung in eine obere Aufnahmestellung und umgekehrt verschiebbar am Hubrahmen angeordnet. Der Aufnahmekörper kann dann, wenn Behälter mittels der Greifschiene entleert werden sollen, aus dem Aufnahmebereich heraus in eine Ruhestellung verschoben werden, so daß er das Aufnehmen des Behälters nicht behindert. Diese Ausführungsform hat den Vorteil, daß keine spezielle Anpassung des Aufnahmekörpers an die äußere Gestaltung der mittels der Greifschiene zu entleerenden Behälter vorgenommen werden muß. Ausnehmungen oder dergleichen sind am Aufnahmekörper somit nicht vorzusehen. Es wird dadurch eine größere Flexibilität erzielt, weil unterschiedlich geformte Behälter entleert werden können. Auch bei dieser Ausführungsform kann der Aufnahmekörper als Abstützeinrichtung für den zu entleerenden Behälter dienen, wobei das Verschieben des Aufnahmekörpers in Ruhestellung den zusätzlichen Vorteil mit sich bringt, daß der Aufnahmekörper den zu entleerenden Behälter im unteren Bereich abstützt.According to a further embodiment, the receiving body is arranged on the lifting frame so as to be displaceable in the vertical direction from a lower rest position into an upper receiving position and vice versa. When the container is to be emptied by means of the gripping rail, the receiving body can be moved out of the receiving region into a rest position so that it does not hinder the receiving of the container. This embodiment has the advantage that no special adaptation of the receiving body to the external design of the containers to be emptied by means of the gripping rail has to be carried out. Recesses or the like are therefore not to be provided on the receiving body. It becomes a bigger one Flexibility achieved because containers of different shapes can be emptied. In this embodiment, too, the receiving body can serve as a supporting device for the container to be emptied, the displacement of the receiving body in the rest position having the additional advantage that the receiving body supports the container to be emptied in the lower region.

Das Verschwenken der Greifschiene und das Verschieben des Aufnahmekörpers kann unabhängig voneinander erfolgen. Da jedoch entweder nur die Greifschiene oder nur der Aufnahmekörper zum Erfassen des Müllbehälters eingesetzt werden kann, ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Bewegung der Greifschiene und des Aufnahmekörpers korreliert ist. Zum Betätigen von Aufnahmekörper und Greifschiene ist vorzugsweise mindestens eine gemeinsame Zylinderkolbeneinheit vorgesehen, die derart angeordnet ist, daß sich beim Betätigen der Zylinderkolbeneinheit der Aufnahmekamm in Aufnahmestellung und der Aufnahmekörper in Ruhestellung und umgekehrt bewegt. Dadurch wird auf einfache Weise erreicht, daß sich eine Aufnahme in Aufnahmeposition und die jeweils andere Aufnahme in Ruheposition befindet.The pivoting of the gripping rail and the displacement of the receiving body can take place independently of one another. However, since either only the gripping rail or only the receiving body can be used for gripping the refuse container, it is advantageous if the movement of the gripping rail and the receiving body is correlated. For actuating the receiving body and gripping rail, at least one common cylinder-piston unit is preferably provided, which is arranged such that when the cylinder-piston unit is actuated the receiving comb moves into the receiving position and the receiving body moves into the rest position and vice versa. It is thereby achieved in a simple manner that one receptacle is in the receptacle position and the other receptacle is in the rest position.

Vorzugsweise ist die Greifschiene an einem Hebelarm befestigt, der um eine horizontale Achse schwenkbar ist und an dessen freien Ende die Zylinderkolbeneinheit angreift. Der Aufnahmekörper ist vorzugsweise in einer am Hubrahmen befestigten Schiene geführt und besitzt an der dem Hubrahmen zugewandten Seite einen Betätigungshebel, an dessen freien Ende ebenfalls die Zylinderkolbeneinheit angreift. Die Anordnung der einzelnen Bauteile ist so gewählt, daß dann, wenn die Zylinderkolbeneinheit auseinanderfährt, gleichzeitig der Aufnahmekörper in Ruhestellung verschoben und die Greifschiene in Aufnahmeposition geschwenkt wird. Wenn die Zylinderkolbeneinheit zusammengefahren wird, wird gleichzeitig der Aufnahmekörper in die Aufnahmeposition und die Greifschiene in ihre Ruheposition geschwenkt.The gripping rail is preferably fastened to a lever arm which can be pivoted about a horizontal axis and on whose free end the cylinder piston unit engages. The receiving body is preferably guided in a rail fastened to the lifting frame and has an actuating lever on the side facing the lifting frame, the free end of which likewise engages the cylinder piston unit. The arrangement of the individual components is chosen so that when the cylinder-piston unit moves apart, the receiving body is simultaneously moved into the rest position and the gripping rail is pivoted into the receiving position. When the cylinder-piston unit is moved together, the receiving body is simultaneously pivoted into the receiving position and the gripping rail into its rest position.

Die Zylinderkolbeneinheit kann in Abhängigkeit von der Art der zu entleerenden Behälter ansteuerbar sein, so daß vor dem Entleervorgang sich automatisch die gewünschte Aufnahme in der Aufnahmepositon befindet. Hierzu kann die Hubkipp- oder Kippvorrichtung mit einer Leseeinrichtung ausgestattet sein, die ein am Behälter angebrachtes Identifikationsmerkmal erfaßt und ein Signal an eine entsprechende Steuereinheit abgibt, die die Zylinderkolbeneinheit entsprechend der Art des zu entleerenden Behälters ansteuert.The cylinder-piston unit can be controlled depending on the type of container to be emptied, so that the desired receptacle is automatically in the receptacle position before the emptying process. For this purpose, the lifting and tilting device can be equipped with a reading device which detects an identification feature attached to the container and emits a signal to a corresponding control unit which controls the cylinder piston unit in accordance with the type of container to be emptied.

Da die Greifschiene und der Aufnahmekörper einzelne, nicht integrierte Bauteile sind, und somit unterschiedliche Bewegungen ausführen können, ist eine weitaus bessere Anpassung an unterschiedliche Behälter möglich, ohne daß eine oder beide Aufnahmeeinrichtungen ausgetauscht werden müssen. Wenn zur Anpassung an andere Behälter doch ein Austausch einer der Aufnahmeeinrichtungen vorgenommen werden muß, so braucht lediglich nur diese eine Aufnahmerichtung und nicht wie gemäß der DE-OS 4315054 A1 beide Aufnahmeeineinrichtungen entfernt zu werden.Since the gripping rail and the receiving body are individual, non-integrated components and can therefore carry out different movements, a much better adaptation to different containers is possible without having to replace one or both receiving devices. If, in order to adapt to other containers, an exchange of one of the receiving devices has to be carried out, then only this one receiving direction needs to be removed and not both receiving devices as in DE-OS 4315054 A1.

Beispielhafte Ausführungsformen werden nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert.Exemplary embodiments are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

In der Figur 1 ist eine Hubkippvorrichtung 1 in Seitenansicht schematisch dargestellt, wobei lediglich der obere Lenker 3 und der untere Lenker 4 mit dem Hubrahmen 2 zu sehen ist. An der Vorderseite des Hubrahmens 2 ist ein Aufnahmekörper 11 in einer Schiene 14 in vertikaler Richtung verschiebbar angeordnet, der am oberen Ende eine dreieckförmige Aufnahmeklaue 12 aufweist. In Figur 1 befindet sich der Aufnahmekörper 11 in seiner unteren Ruhestellung R. An der dem Hubrahmen 2 zugewandten Seite weist der Aufnahmekörper 11 einen Betätigungshebel 15 auf, der sich durch den Hubrahmen 2 hindurch erstreckt und gegenüber der Rückseite 6 des Hubrahmens 2 vorsteht. Am freien Ende 16 dieses Betätigungshebel 15 ist eine Zylinderkolbeneinheit 17 angelenkt, die am anderen Ende an einem Hebelarm 8 angreift, der die Greifschiene 7 trägt. An der Greifschiene 7, die sich in der in Figur 1 gezeigten Darstellung in Aufnahmeposition A befindet, ist ein Behälter 18 mit seinem Mitnahmerand 19 eingehängt.In Figure 1, a lifting and tipping device 1 is shown schematically in side view, only the upper link 3 and the lower link 4 with the lifting frame 2 can be seen. On the front of the lifting frame 2, a receiving body 11 is slidably arranged in a rail 14 in the vertical direction, which has a triangular receiving claw 12 at the upper end. In Figure 1, the receiving body 11 is in its lower rest position R. On the side facing the lifting frame 2, the receiving body 11 has an actuating lever 15 which extends through the lifting frame 2 and protrudes from the rear 6 of the lifting frame 2. At the free end 16 of this actuating lever 15, a cylinder piston unit 17 is articulated, which engages at the other end on a lever arm 8 which carries the gripping rail 7. A container 18 with its driving edge 19 is suspended on the gripping rail 7, which is located in the receiving position A in the illustration shown in FIG. 1.

Die Greifschiene 7 kann als kammartige Greifschiene ausgebildet sein, was in der hier gezeigten Darstellung allerdings nicht zu sehen ist. In Aufnahmeposition A liegt der Hebelarm 8, der um die horizontale Achse 9 schwenkbar ist, auf einem Anschlagelement 22 auf, das am Hubrahmen 2 befestigt ist. In der Figur 1 ist zu sehen, daß der Behälter 18 mit seiner Behälterwand am Aufnahmekörper 11 anliegt, die somit zusätzlich als Abstützeinrichtung dient.The gripping rail 7 can be designed as a comb-like gripping rail, which, however, cannot be seen in the illustration shown here. In the receiving position A, the lever arm 8, which is pivotable about the horizontal axis 9, rests on a stop element 22 which is fastened to the lifting frame 2. In Figure 1 it can be seen that the container 18 rests with its container wall on the receiving body 11, which thus also serves as a support device.

Wenn die Zylinder-Kolbeneinheit 17, die in Figur 1 im ausgefahrenem Zustand dargestellt ist, zusammengefahren wird, wird - wie in der Figur 2 gezeigt ist - der Aufnahmekörper 11 in seine Aufnahmeposition A nach oben verschoben und gleichzeitig wird die Greifschiene 7 um die horizontale Achse 9 in ihre Ruheposition R geschwenkt. In der Ruheposition R befindet sich die Greifschiene hinter der Rückseite 6 des Hubrahmens 2. Der zu entleerende Behälter 20 besitzt als Mitnahmeeinrichtung eine Aufnahmetasche 21, in die der Aufnahmekörper 11 mit seiner Aufnahmeklaue 12 eingreift.When the cylinder-piston unit 17, which is shown in the extended state in FIG. 1, is moved together, as shown in FIG. 2, the receiving body 11 is shifted upward into its receiving position A and at the same time the gripping rail 7 becomes about the horizontal axis 9 pivoted into its rest position R. In the rest position R, the gripping rail is located behind the rear side 6 of the lifting frame 2. The container 20 to be emptied has a receiving pocket 21 as a driving device, into which the receiving body 11 engages with its receiving claw 12.

In der Figur 3 sind zwei der Hubkippvorrichtungen 1 am Heck eines Müllfahrzeuges dargestellt, wobei die Aufnahmekörper 11 fest am Hubrahmen 2 befestigt sind. Lediglich die Greifschiene 7 ist, wie zuvor beschrieben, schwenkbar am Hubrahmen 2 angeordnet. Im rechten Teil befindet sich die Greifschiene 7 in Aufnahmeposition und im linken Teil in Ruheposition. Damit der Aufnahmekörper 11 die Aufnahme der Behälter 18, die auf der Greifschiene 7 aufliegen, nicht behindert, sind in der hier gezeigten Ausführungsform Ausnehmungen 13 vorgesehen, in die Versteifungsrippen des Müllbehälters eingreifen können.
