Abstract
A bin-deposited-refuse collection vehicle (1) presenting a body (5) in turn presenting a loading opening (6); and a loading device (8) for moving the bin (2) to and from the loading opening (6), and in turn presenting a connecting member (11) for automatically engaging the bin (2); the loading device (8) being located at a longitudinal end of the body (5); and the connecting member (11) being movable, in relation to the body (5), between two limit lateral loading positions on opposite sides of the vertical plane through the longitudinal axis (4) of the vehicle (1).
Description
- The present invention relates to a bin-deposited-refuse collection vehicle.
- More specifically, the present invention relates to a vehicle comprising a body; a frame supporting the body; and a loading device for automatically picking up the full bins at a loading area and moving them to and from an opening in the body.
- As described, for example, in Italian Patent Application n. TO91A000223 filed on 29 March, 1991, the loading device comprises a preferably telescopic arm, one end of which is connected to the frame so as to rotate in relation to the body, and the opposite end of which is fitted with a gripping member movable in relation to the arm and which automatically engages the bin.
- On known vehicles, the arm is connected to a substantially mid portion of the frame so as to rotate about a vertical axis, and projects from a longitudinal lateral wall of the body.
- Known vehicles of the above type present several drawbacks, all due to the location of the automatic loading device in relation to the body. Despite the arm rotating about a vertical axis, and presenting a telescopic portion enabling pickup over a relatively long distance from the vehicle, the arm provides solely for picking up the bins on one side of the body. To pick up those located, for example, on the opposite side of the body, the vehicle must be maneuvered and reversed accordingly, which is not only impossible in many cases, but invariably involves a good deal of difficulty, especially when operating in confined spaces, as in city centers.
- Other vehicles are known in which the loading device comprises an arm connected to the frame so as to rotate about a horizontal axis; and the free end of the arm is fitted with a gripping member rotatable in relation to the arm into a number of loading positions between two limit positions at substantially 90° to each other: a front loading position, i.e. facing the front surface of the vehicle cab; and a lateral loading position facing a lateral surface of the vehicle cab.
- Though widely used, devices of the above type only provide for picking up the bins facing the front surface and one lateral surface of the cab, and not those facing the opposite lateral surface of the cab.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a refuse collection vehicle designed to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks in a straightforward and, at the same time, low-cost manner.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a bin-deposited-refuse collection vehicle presenting a longitudinal axis, and comprising a body with a loading opening; and a loading device for moving the bin to and from the loading opening, and in turn comprising a connecting member for positively engaging the bin; characterized in that said connecting member is movable in relation to the body between two limit lateral loading positions on opposite sides of the vertical plane through said longitudinal axis.
- The body of the above vehicle is preferably defined laterally by two longitudinal surfaces on opposite sides of said longitudinal axis; and said two limit loading positions are located on opposite sides of the vehicle and substantially outwards of the respective planes of said longitudinal surfaces of the body.
- A number of non-limiting embodiments of the present invention will be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 shows a side view of a first preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the present invention;
- Figure 2 shows a top plan view of the Figure 1 vehicle;
- Figures 3 and 4 show side views of a Figure 1 detail in two different operating positions;
- Figures 5 to 7 show plan views of the Figure 3 and 4 detail in three different operating positions;
- Figure 8 shows a side view of a second preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the present invention;
- Figure 9 shows a top plan view of the Figure 8 vehicle;
- Figure 10 shows a side view of a third preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the present invention;
- Figure 11 shows a front view of the Figure 10 vehicle.
-
Number 1 in Figures 1 and 2 indicates a vehicle for collecting solid urban refuse deposited inbins 2. -
Vehicle 1 comprises anelongated frame 3 with alongitudinal axis 4 coincident with the longitudinal axis of the vehicle; and abody 5 supported by and connected releasably toframe 3, and in turn comprising a top loading opening 6 (Figure 2), and twolongitudinal walls 5a located on either side ofaxis 4 and defined outwardly by respective substantiallyflat surfaces 5b parallel to each other. -
Vehicle 1 also comprises acab 7; and a knownloading device 8 connected toframe 3, and which provides for positively and automatically engagingbin 2 and moving it to and from opening 6. - More specifically, loading device 8 - described in Italian Patent Application n. TO91A000223 filed on 29 March, 1991, and to which full reference is made herein in the interest of full disclosure - comprises a
telescopic arm 9, and afork 11 fitted to one end ofarm 9. In actual use,fork 11 provides for enclosingbin 2, and comprises twoarms 12, each terminating with a respective known connectingassembly 13 which, again in actual use, provides for positively and automatically engaging a respective known connecting element (not shown) onbin 2.Arms 12 are operated by a knowndrive assembly 14 for varying the distance betweenarms 12, and also the angular position ofarms 12 in relation toarm 9 and about an axis perpendicular toarms 12. - As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the opposite end of
arm 9 to that fitted withfork 11 is hinged to an upright 15 in relation to which it rotates about a horizontal axis. - Upright 15 is located at the opposite longitudinal end of
body 5 tocab 7, and forms part ofdevice 8, which also comprises a first and secondelongated body Body 16 presents one end connected integral with upright 15, and the opposite end hinged to one end ofbody 17 by a vertical hinge pin presenting anaxis 18. - The end portion of
body 17 opposite that hinged tobody 16 defines aslide 17a fitted in axially-sliding manner to aguide 19 connected integral with therear end portion 20 offrame 3 alongaxis 4.Slide 17a is movable in relation toguide 19 between a withdrawn position (shown in Figures 1 to 4) wherein upright 15 is maintained facing the rear wall ofbody 5, and a forward position (shown in Figure 5 and 6) permitting upright 15 to be rotated aboutaxis 18 into a position facing a longitudinal lateral wall of body 5 (Figures 6 and 7). - In actual use, with
slide 17a in the forward position, and by rotating upright 15 aboutaxis 18 and varying the length ofarm 9,fork 11 may be set to a number of pickup positions within a circular sector with its center ataxis 18 and located symmetrically in relation to the vertical plane throughaxis 4. In other words, in actual use,fork 11 may be set to a number of loading positions between two limit lateral loading positions separated by an angle of substantially 180°, and located on either side of the vertical plane throughaxis 4 and, more specifically, outwards of respective, in this case vertical, planes P, each containing arespective surface 5b. As such, anybins 2 about the rear portion ofvehicle 1 may be picked up without moving the vehicle. - When
fork 11 is set to either one of the limit lateral positions,slide 17a may be restored to the withdrawn position, to movedevice 8 away from the rear end ofbody 5, and enablebody 5 to be engaged and detached in known manner fromframe 3. - The Figure 8 and 9 embodiment relates to a
vehicle 22 similar tovehicle 1, and the component parts of which are indicated wherever possible using the same numbering system. -
Vehicle 22 differs fromvehicle 1 by comprising a low-mountedcab 23; and abody 24 presenting anarrower front portion 25 projecting partly overcab 23 and in turn presenting atop loading opening 26. -
Vehicle 22 also differs fromvehicle 1 by comprising aloading device 27 connected to aportion 20a offrame 3 located betweenportion 25 ofbody 24 andcab 23, and which differs fromloading device 8 by comprising an upright 28 extending upwards fromframe 3, substantially from the same supporting surface asbody 24, and hinged directly toframe 3 by a knownhinge assembly 29 enabling upright 28 to rotate in relation tobody 24 about avertical axis 30. Thetelescopic arm 9 ofdevice 27 is hinged to one end of abeam 31 extending above the roof ofcab 23, and the opposite end of which is connected integral with upright 28. - In actual use, by rotating upright 28 about
axis 30,fork 11 may be set to a number of loading positions between two limit lateral loading positions (not shown) separated by an angle of over 180°, and each located outwards of a respective plane P; and the particular design ofbody 24 enablesfork 11 to be set, in addition to a front unloading position, also to two different lateral unloading positions facing each other (Figure 9). - The Figure 10 and 11 embodiment relates to a
vehicle 32 similar tovehicle 22, and the component parts of which are indicated wherever possible using the same numbering system. -
Vehicle 32 differs fromvehicle 22 by comprising a low-mountedcab 33 of such a width as to extend entirely on one side of the vertical plane throughaxis 4; by comprising a body similar tobody 5; and by upright 28 being located adjacent tocab 33, and more specifically on the opposite side of said vertical plane tocab 33, and being hinged toframe 3 so as to rotate, in relation toframe 3, about avertical axis 34. In this embodiment also, in actual use,fork 11 is movable between two limit lateral loading positions, each outwards of a respective plane P. - The design of
loading devices respective bodies bins 2, by enabling all the bins along the route of the vehicle to be picked up, regardless of whether they are on one side or the other of the vehicle. - Unlike known solutions, therefore,
bins 2 may be engaged and lifted with no need for reversing or complicated maneuvering of the vehicle, and may be emptied into the body with very little maneuvering of the fork and, hence, the bin itself. - Clearly, changes may be made to
vehicles
