Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for emptying Garbage bins into a garbage collection vehicle.
  • the device includes, for example, a receiving device on the lifting and tipping device of a refuse collection vehicle, those for picking up and transporting one or more also different sized containers in the refuse collection vehicle is trained into it.
  • a receiving device on the lifting and tipping device of a refuse collection vehicle those for picking up and transporting one or more also different sized containers in the refuse collection vehicle is trained into it.
  • the respective different Position of the lifting and tipping device with respect to a Garbage collection vehicle are so-called rear, front or Sideloader distinguished.
  • the cradle must each constructively adapted to empty garbage containers be. This means that the device next to the cradle accordingly adapted to the lifting and tipping device Containers on the garbage container must contain.
  • From DE-PS 21 46 653 is a device of the aforementioned Kind known.
  • the cradle on the garbage truck arranged tilting device has several after claws protruding at the top and recesses in between, which are alternately attached to a mounting bar.
  • This mounting strip engages in a cross-section from below essentially designed as a downwardly open U-profile strip Carrier bar.
  • This take-out bar is on garbage containers to be emptied along a side wall on or protruding outwards near its opening edge. The Claws of the cradle can then take this bar underscore.
  • All of these known devices have the receiving devices next to the claws on which the container or containers can be attached, lower support devices to support the respective body hulls.
  • the claws are firmly attached to the Positioning device positioned.
  • the claws When immersing bottom up in the respective U-profile strip of the waste bin pull the garbage container towards you if the Garbage container with its U-profile strip not exactly above the claws should be positioned. Since the claws roughly plate-shaped, with approximately vertically oriented outer surfaces are formed, the lateral relative movement between Container and claw used to immerse the claw in the U-shaped profile should be required extremely low. Thereby is the load on the outer wall of the U-profile strip, when the claw is positioned off-center on the U-shaped profile can occur not very large.
  • the receiving claw This allows the receiving claw to pass through from below corresponding more or less swing out respectively Extend the swivel arm so that it fits into the receiving pocket.
  • the claw itself has the shape of a parallel to aligned with the container wall carrying the receiving pocket isosceles, triangular plate, the top two Triangular edges on the side facing away from the waste container Form sloping gripping edges sloping towards the inside.
  • the receiving pocket has corresponding undercuts Surface areas. These areas are in one reinforcing the edge area of the opening side of the waste container Profile provided.
  • the Invention Based on this prior art, the Invention, the object of an improved device for emptying garbage containers with which the load on the carrier bar of the waste container as low as possible is, with a problem-free reception of garbage containers on the lifting and tipping device of a refuse collection vehicle should be possible.
  • the device according to the invention includes constructive measures on the lifting and tipping device and requires one with its take-out bar accordingly customized garbage can.
  • the device according to the invention is based on that in the prior art Technically known, with several claws carrier bar and is characterized in that the individual Claw from a stationary attached to the cradle Lower part and a movably attached to the lower part Top is assembled.
  • the top can be both towards the lower part as well as at right angles to it Move directions.
  • the top can be in from the bottom distant positions relative to the base towards move freely towards and away from the container while it in its other minimally distant from the lower part extreme position relative to the lower part is not movable. There is only a single minimally distant position between Upper part and lower part available.
  • the claw can be said to be self-centering in the downward-open carrier bar of a garbage container be introduced.
  • Upper part introduced self-centering.
  • the lower part remains in its longitudinal axis, for example off-center position. This means that when the Claw the bottom of a carry bin in a garbage can Claw not positioned exactly below the carrier bar needs to be. It only has to be ensured that the Top reaches the mouth area of the driving bar.
  • the upper part can move in Direction towards the container or away from the container move so that it floats freely over the entire surface Take-in bar can dip.
  • the device according to the invention thus allows Gentle reception of waste containers to be emptied with a as it were self-centering recording device, wherein nevertheless, the exact alignment of the waste container with the lifting and tipping device during which the stroke-tilt movement is present.
  • the upper part can be transverse to the longitudinal extent of the receiving bar or also in the longitudinal direction of the receiving bar, i.e. at Tipping device positioned at the rear of the refuse collection vehicle in the transverse direction of the refuse collection vehicle, relative to Lower part can be designed to be movable.
  • the pocket can therefore in the longitudinal direction of the drive bar as one essentially continuous groove may be formed or in the longitudinal direction with several pocket-like arranged in a row Be depressions. In both cases a system of rubbish bins offset along the receiving bar possible. This also allows different widths Waste bins can be attached to the mounting bar as required. In addition, a rubbish bin can be placed on the claws of two juxtaposed mounting strips can be attached.
  • comb strips 12 are schematic shown in Fig. 1. Collar 12 from each comb bar her teeth referred to below as claws 14 upwards out. Recesses 15 are provided between adjacent claws 14 the comb strip 12 is formed. On two or more of these Claws 14 are the garbage container to be emptied with hung up on his take-out bar. Except the comb strip 12 is a lower support on the receiving device 10 with which the garbage container hanging on the comb bar 12 is supported in its lower area.
  • Each claw 14 consists of a fixedly attached to the comb strip 12 Lower part 16.
  • the lower part has an upward side cantilevered support walls 20, 22 which taper upwards Cross-section and in this context one after inner wall 24 running obliquely outwards on each Have support wall 20, 22.
  • the inner walls 24 are through at the bottom a flat base surface 26 with one another in the present case connected.
  • This upper part 44 has a circumferential side and top Surface 46, which is formed as a truncated cone in cross section is.
  • This cross section is in parallel planes, along the Comb bar 12, the same size for a claw 14 and for all Claws 14 present in the same way.
  • the surface 46 radially symmetrical and thus for example to be conical.
  • the inner surface the carrier bar is shaped so that the claws 14 over the entire surface with their surfaces 46 in the driving bar immerse and there on corresponding inner walls of the Driving bar and / or end faces of cross bars, which in the carrier bar are present.
  • a molded part 60 attached, which is a clamping part with which the ball head 40 on the central surface 42 can be held pressed. Relative to ball head 40 the upper part 44 can be pivoted.
  • Coil spring 64 positioned the molded part 60 and thus the upper part 44 from the base 26 and thus from the lower part pushes upwards.
  • the situation of the upper part 44 shown in FIG. 2 represents represents the unloaded state of the claw 14.
  • the lower part 16 and thus the comb strip 12 from below into the down open carrier bar of a garbage container must the comb bar 12 is positioned only as far below the carrier bar be that the upper part 44 with its upper region 65 can dip into the carrier bar.
  • the further Starting up the lower part 16 can be the case with respect to the lower part 16 by the dimension 62 freely movable upper part 44 of the respective Position of the waste container and thus the existing one Adjust the position of its carrier bar.
  • the upper part 44 can so full and unencumbered, without constraints on the take-out bar exercise, immerse in it.
  • the upper part takes 44 the drive bar fully seated on it and thus the corresponding garbage container with movement.
  • the on The garbage container can be exerted by the drive bar be well received since the upper part 44 is full sits in the carrier bar and accordingly for power transmission large contact surfaces between the waste container and the upper part 44 are available.
  • Existing garbage containers can therefore act on them Take up the load non-destructively.
  • the between top 44 and lower part 16 occurring forces act only on one small area. However, these forces can generally made of sufficiently resistant material, such as metal, manufactured claws and comb strip 12 can be easily recorded.
  • the side walls 50 are over a rubber mat or other flexible mat 70 on the lower part, for example Screw connections 72, 74 connected. That’s through the distance 52 predetermined gap 76 between the upper part 44 and Lower part 16 covered dust-tight.
