Auf dem Chassis des in Figur 1 dargestellten Müllsammelfahrzeugs befindet sich ein Sammelcontainer 1, der vom Fahrzeugchassis abgestossen oder abgehoben werden kann, um z. B. per Bahn oder per Schiff an seinen Bestimmungsort, z. B. eine Verbrennungsanlage, transportiert zu werden. Der Sammelcontainer 1 ist an seiner Rückseite offen und mit einem rahmenförmigen Adapter 2 verbunden. Dieser Adapter ist oben schwenkbar mit dem Container 1 verbunden und unten im dargestellten Betriebszustand lösbar mit dem Container verriegelt. Ist der Adapter 2 unten entriegelt, kann er um seine obere Schwenkachse von der Containeröffnung weggeschwenkt werden, wozu gegebenenfalls hydraulische Zylinder vorgesehen sein können. An Kupplungsbolzen 3 des Adapters 2 ist mittels Haken 4 eine Stopfvorrichtung 5 aushebbar und im Betriebszustand verriegelt eingehängt. Der Aufbau der Stopfvorrichtung entspricht weitgehend demjenigen gemäss EP-A-0 049 724 und wird nur soweit beschrieben, als es für das Verständnis erforderlich ist. Die Stopfvorrichtung 5 ist mit vier hydraulisch ausfahrbaren Stützen 6 versehen, die in Figur 1 eingezogen, in den Figuren 7A bis 7E ausgefahren dargestellt sind. Sie dienen sowohl zum Ausheben der Stopfvorrichtung 5 aus den Kupplungsbolzen 3 des Adapters 2, als auch zum Abstellen der vom Fahrzeug gelösten Stopfvorrichtung.On the chassis of the shown in Figure 1 A collection container 1 is located in the refuse collection vehicle, which are pushed off or lifted off the vehicle chassis can to z. B. by train or by ship to his Destination, e.g. B. an incinerator, to be transported. The collecting container 1 is on its back open and with a frame-shaped adapter 2 connected. This adapter can be swiveled with the Container 1 connected and shown below in Operating state releasably locked to the container. Is the adapter 2 unlocked below, it can move around its upper Pivot axis can be swung away from the container opening, for which purpose hydraulic cylinders may be provided can. Coupling pin 3 of the adapter 2 is by means of Hook 4 a stuffing device 5 can be lifted and in Operating state locked locked. The structure of the Darning device largely corresponds to that according to EP-A-0 049 724 and is only described as far as it is for understanding is required. The tamping device 5 is provided with four hydraulically extendable supports 6, those drawn in Figure 1, in Figures 7A to 7E are shown extended. They serve both for Lift the stuffing device 5 out of the coupling bolt 3 of the adapter 2, as well as for parking the vehicle loosened stuffing device.

Die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen teils schematisch die erfindungswesentlichen Teile der Stopfvorrichtung und des Adapters. Die Stopfvorrichtung weist einen um eine Schwenkachse 7 schwenkbaren Bügel 8 mit einem Querjoch 9 auf. Mit zwei seitlichen Laschen 10 des Bügels 8 sind Schwenkarme 11 um Achsen 12 schwenkbar verbunden. Die Schwenkarme 11 sind starr verbunden mit zwei Armen eines Halters 13, mit dem eine Stopfplatte 14 lösbar verbunden ist. Wie insbesondere auch die Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen, weist der Halter 13 an den Enden seiner beiden Arme Gabeln 15 auf, in die Kupplungsbolzen 16 der Stopfplatte 14 eingreifen. Im dargestellten Betriebszustand ist im übrigen die Stopfplatte 14 mittels eines ausrückbaren Bolzens 17 mit dem Halter 13 gekuppelt. Durch Ausrücken des Kupplungsbolzens 17 kann der Halter 13 von der Pressplatte 14 gelöst werden. Die oberen Kupplungsbolzen 16 dienen nicht nur der Verbindung der Stopfplatte 14 mit dem Halter 13 der Stopfvorrichtung sondern auch der Verriegelung der Stopfplatte im Adapter 2 als Abschlussorgan des Containers 1.Figures 2 and 3 partially show the essential parts of the invention the stuffing device and Adapters. The stuffing device has one Swivel axis 7 swivel bracket 8 with a transverse yoke 9 on. With two side tabs 10 of the bracket 8 are Swivel arms 11 pivotally connected about axes 12. The Swivel arms 11 are rigidly connected to two arms one Holder 13 with which a stuffing plate 14 is releasably connected is. As particularly shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the holder 13 has forks at the ends of its two arms 15, into the coupling bolt 16 of the stuffing plate 14 intervention. In the operating state shown is otherwise the stuffing plate 14 by means of a disengageable pin 17 coupled with the holder 13. By disengaging the Coupling bolt 17 can the holder 13 from the press plate 14 can be solved. The upper coupling bolts 16 serve not only the connection of the stuffing plate 14 with the holder 13 of the stuffing device but also the locking of the Darning plate in adapter 2 as the closing element of the container 1.

Die Figuren 3 und 4 zeigen die Stopfplatte 14 in ihrer Endstellung bzw. Verriegelungsstellung. Wie insbesondere Figur 4 zeigt, befinden sich im oberen Teil des Adapters 2 Verriegelungshebel 18, welche bei der Ausführung gemäss Fig. 4 mittels eines hydraulischen Zylinders 19 um eine Achse 20 aus einer strichpunktiert angedeuteten oberen Ruhestellung in die in Figur 4 gestrichelt dargestellte untere Betriebsstellung geschwenkt werden können. In dieser unteren Betriebsstellung bilden die Hebel 18 zusammen mit dem Joch 9 eine Tasche, in welche das obere Ende der Stopfplatte 14 eingreift, wenn sie die dargestellte Endstellung erreicht, womit diese Endstellung bzw. Verriegelungsstellung derart eindeutig bestimmt ist, dass auch die Verriegelungsbolzen 16 in seitliche Verriegelungsbuchsen des Adapters 2 von Hand oder hydraulisch eingeschoben werden können. Verriegelungshebel oder -Anschläge 18 befinden sich an beiden Enden der Achse 20, und sie sind mit seitlichen Flanschen 21 (Figur 4) versehen, welche auch die seitliche Position der Stopfplatte 14 in ihrer End- oder Verriegelungsstellung bestimmen. In Figur 5 ist angedeutet, dass die Verriegelungsbolzen 16 in der dargestellten äusseren Verriegelungsstellung durch Rastbolzen gehalten sind. Es ist damit eine sichere, störungsfreie Verriegelung der Stopfplatte 14 als Abschlusselement im Adapter 2 sichergestellt, denn auch die oberen Verriegelungsbolzen 16 sind auf einer Höhe angeordnet, in welcher normalerweise keine Kehrichtresten das Einführen der Verriegelungsbolzen in Verriegelungsbuchsen behindern. Figures 3 and 4 show the stuffing plate 14 in its End position or locking position. How in particular FIG. 4 shows are located in the upper part of the adapter 2 Locking lever 18, which according to the execution Fig. 4 by means of a hydraulic cylinder 19 Axis 20 from an upper dash-dotted line Rest position shown in dashed lines in Figure 4 lower operating position can be pivoted. In this lower operating position form the lever 18 together with the yoke 9 a pocket in which the upper end of the Darning plate 14 engages when shown End position reached, with which this end position or Locking position is so clearly determined that also the locking bolt 16 in lateral Locking bushes of the adapter 2 by hand or can be inserted hydraulically. Locking lever or stops 18 are at both ends of the axis 20, and they are with side flanges 21 (Figure 4) provided, which also the lateral position of the Darning plate 14 in its end or locking position determine. In Figure 5 it is indicated that the Locking bolt 16 in the outer shown Locked position are held by locking bolts. It is a safe, trouble-free locking of the Darning plate 14 as a terminating element in the adapter 2 ensured because the upper locking bolts 16 are arranged at a height in which normally no garbage residues when inserting the locking bolts hinder in locking bushings.

Figur 3 zeigt eine Ausführungsvariante mit manuell betätigbaren Verriegelungs- oder Anschlaghebeln 18. Diese Hebel 18 bzw. ihre Schwenkachse 20 sind gekuppelt mit einem Hebel 23 und einer Stange 24, mittels welcher die Hebel 18 aus der in Fig. 3 ausgezogen dargestellten, oberen Lage in die strichpunktiert dargestellte, untere Anschlagposition und umgekehrt verschwenkt werden können. Es ist damit möglich, Sammelcontainer ohne Hydraulik zu verwenden.Figure 3 shows an embodiment variant with manual actuable locking or stop levers 18. These Levers 18 and their pivot axis 20 are coupled with a Lever 23 and a rod 24, by means of which the lever 18th from the upper layer shown in solid line in FIG the lower stop position shown in broken lines and vice versa can be pivoted. It is with it possible to use collection containers without hydraulics.

Die Figuren 7A bis 7E veranschaulichen die Arbeitsweise bzw. die Bewegungsabläufe beim Sammeln von Kehricht und beim Verschliessen des Containers. Dabei sind in diesen Figuren nur die wesentlichsten Einrichtungsteile bezeichnet, und die hydraulischen Zylinder, die zwischen dem Gestell der Stopfvorrichtung 5 und dem Bügel 8 einerseits und zwischen diesem Bügel und den Armen 11 andererseits wirken, sind der Einfachheit halber nicht dargestellt. Es wird hierzu auf die oben erwähnte EP-A-0 049 724 verwiesen. Figur 7A zeigt eine Ausgangsposition, bei welcher die Stopfplatte 14 etwa horizontal über der Wanne 22 der Stopfvorrichtung liegt. Figur 7B zeigt, wie dann die Stopfplatte 14 hinter dem in der Wanne 22 befindlichen Kehricht abgesenkt wird, um den Kehricht zu erfassen. Figur 7C zeigt, wie sodann die Stopfplatte 14 angehoben wird, um den Kehricht anzuheben, und Figur 7D zeigt die Endstellung der Stopfplatte 14 zum Verdichten des Kehrichts im Container 1. Beim Sammeln von Kehricht wiederholen sich diese Abläufe nach Figuren 7A bis 7D bis der Container mit Kehricht gefüllt ist. Beim nächsten Bewegungszyklus werden nun die Anschlagshebel 18 (Figur 4) in die wirksame Stellung abgesenkt, so dass die Stopfplatte 14 gegen Ende des Bewegungszyklus gegen die Anschlaghebel 18 anschlägt, wie aus Figur 4 ersichtlich, und damit die Verriegelungsposition der Stopfplatte 14 gemäss Figur 7E bestimmt wird. Es kann dann die zusätzliche Verriegelung der Stopfplatte 14 im Adapter 2 in der beschriebenen Weise erfolgen. Sodann wird die Verriegelung zwischen der Stopfplatte 14 und ihrem Halter 13 gelöst und der Halter wird von der Stopfplatte entfernt. Sodann kann mittels der Stützen 6 die Stopfvorrichtung 5 angehoben und vom Adapter 2 entkuppelt werden. Das Fahrzeug mit dem Container 1 kann nun an seinen Bestimmungsort fahren, wo der Container 1 umgeladen wird. Da die Stopfplatte 14 keinen optimalen Abschluss der Containeröffnung gewährleistet, können an den Seiten des Adapters Schwenktüren angebracht sein, welche zum Transport des Containers 1 geschlossen werden können. Während des Sammelns von Kehricht können diese Türen an die Aussenseite der Stopfvorrichtung 5 geschwenkt und dort verriegelt sein.Figures 7A to 7E illustrate the operation or the movements when collecting garbage and when closing the container. Are in these Figures only the essential furnishings designated, and the hydraulic cylinders that between the frame of the stuffing device 5 and the bracket 8 on the one hand and between this bracket and the arms 11 on the other hand, are not for the sake of simplicity shown. It refers to the above-mentioned EP-A-0 049 724. FIG. 7A shows a starting position, in which the plug plate 14 approximately horizontally above the Trough 22 of the stuffing device is located. Figure 7B shows how then the stuffing plate 14 behind that in the tub 22nd located garbage is lowered to the garbage to capture. FIG. 7C shows how the stuffing plate 14 then is raised to raise the garbage, and Figure 7D shows the end position of the stuffing plate 14 for compressing the Garbage in the container 1. When collecting garbage these processes are repeated according to FIGS. 7A to 7D to the container is filled with rubbish. At the next Movement cycle, the stop lever 18 (Figure 4) lowered into the effective position so that the darning plate 14 towards the end of the movement cycle against the stop lever 18 strikes, as can be seen from Figure 4, and thus the Locking position of the stuffing plate 14 according to Figure 7E is determined. It can then do the additional locking the stuffing plate 14 in the adapter 2 in the manner described respectively. Then the interlock between the Darning plate 14 and its holder 13 released and the holder is removed from the packing plate. Then by means of Support 6 the tamping device 5 raised and from the adapter 2 be uncoupled. The vehicle with the container 1 can now drive to its destination, where container 1 is reloaded. Since the stuffing plate 14 is not optimal Completion of the container opening ensures that the Sides of the adapter swing doors are attached, which can be closed to transport the container 1. While collecting garbage, these doors can go to the Outside of the tamping device 5 pivoted and there be locked.

Beim Transport und insbesondere beim Umladen des Containers 1 wirkt es störend, dass der hydraulische Zylinder 19 zur Betätigung der Verriegelungshebel 18 am Container bzw. dessen Adapter angebracht ist, also beim Umladen hydraulische Leitungen vom Fahrzeug getrennt bzw. wieder angeschlossen werden müssen. Zudem können auf die in Anschlagposition befindlichen Verriegelungshebel 18 erhebliche Kräfte bzw. Drehmomente wirken, welche der Zylinder 19 (Fig. 4) bzw. das Gestänge 23, 24 (Fig. 3) aufnehmen muss.During transport and especially when reloading the container 1 it is disruptive that the hydraulic cylinder 19 for Actuation of the locking lever 18 on the container or whose adapter is attached, so when reloading hydraulic lines separated from the vehicle or again must be connected. In addition, the in Locking position 18 considerable forces or torques act which the Cylinder 19 (Fig. 4) or the linkage 23, 24 (Fig. 3) must record.

Die Figuren 8 und 9 zeigen eine Ausführungsvariante, bei welcher diese Nachteile vermieden sind. Entsprechende Teile sind in diesen Figuren gleich bezeichnet wie in den Figuren 3 und 4. Der Betätigungszylinder 19a für die Verriegelungshebel 18 ist in der Stopfvorrichtung 5 angeordnet und wirkt mit dem gerundeten Kolbenende seiner Kolbenstange 25 auf eine ebene Steuerfläche 26 eines auf der Schwenkachse 20 der Verriegelungshebel 18 befestigten Hebels 27. In Fig. 8 sind die Verriegelungshebel 18 in einer nach oben geschwenkten unwirksamen Stellung gehalten indem die Kolbenstange 25 gegen die Steuerfläche 26 drückt. Fig. 9 zeigt die Verriegelungshebel in eingerückter Stellung. Die Kolbenstange 25 ist zurückgezogen und hat die Verriegelungshebel unter ihrem Gewicht in eine untere Anschlagstellung fallen lassen, in welcher die Anschlagfläche 18a der Verriegelungshebel mit dem Joch 9 die erwähnten Taschen bilden, in welchen die Stopfplatte 14 in der gewünschten Stellung gehalten ist. Die Wirkungslinie von auf die Anschlagfläche 18a der Verriegelungshebel wirkenden Kräften geht hierbei praktisch durch die Achse der Schwenkachse 20 und belasten weder den ohnehin nicht gekoppelten Zylinder 19a noch ein eventuelles anstelle des Zylinders 19a vorgesehenes Gestänge zur Betätigung der Verriegelungshebel 18. Alle erforderlichen hydraulischen Zylinder befinden sich in der Stopfvorrichtung so dass der Container frei ist von hydraulischen Anschlüssen.Figures 8 and 9 show a variant, at which these disadvantages are avoided. Corresponding parts are denoted in these figures the same as in the figures 3 and 4. The actuating cylinder 19a for the Locking lever 18 is in the stuffing device 5 arranged and acts with the rounded piston end of it Piston rod 25 on a flat control surface 26 one the pivot axis 20 of the locking lever 18 attached Lever 27. In Fig. 8, the locking lever 18 in held in an ineffective position pivoted upwards by pressing the piston rod 25 against the control surface 26. Fig. 9 shows the locking lever in engaged Position. The piston rod 25 is retracted and has the Locking levers under their weight in a lower one Drop the stop position in which the Stop surface 18a of the locking lever with the yoke 9 form the mentioned pockets in which the stuffing plate 14 is held in the desired position. The line of action from the stop surface 18a of the locking lever acting forces go practically through the axis the pivot axis 20 and do not burden the anyway coupled cylinder 19a a possible one instead of the Cylinder 19a provided linkage for actuating the Locking lever 18. All necessary hydraulic Cylinders are in the stuffing device so that the Container is free from hydraulic connections.

Eine weitere Vereinfachung ist gemäss Figuren 10 bis 12 dadurch möglich, dass anstelle der drei Verbindungsstellen zwischen der Stopfplatte 14 und dem Halter 13 nur deren zwei vorgesehen werden, wobei der obere Arm des Halters wie gemäss Fig. 6 mit einer Gabel 15 mit dem Bolzen 16 gekuppelt ist (Figur 12), während der untere Arm des Halters 13 mittels hydraulisch betätigter Bolzen 16 a mit der Stopfplatte gekuppelt wird. Die mittlere Kupplungsstelle 17 gemäss Fig. 5 und 6 kann damit wegfallen.A further simplification is according to FIGS. 10 to 12 possible instead of the three connection points between the stuffing plate 14 and the holder 13 only their two are provided, with the upper arm of the holder like 6 with a fork 15 with the bolt 16 is coupled (Figure 12), while the lower arm of the Holder 13 by means of hydraulically operated bolts 16 a the darning plate is coupled. The middle Coupling point 17 according to FIGS. 5 and 6 can thus fall away.

Die Figuren 10 und 11 zeigen ausserdem eine zusätzliche Sicherung der Verriegelungsbolzen 16. Bei vom Träger 13 abgekuppelter Stopfplatte 14 gemäss Figur 10 greift ein Sicherungsschieber 28 hinter das innere Ende jedes Verriegelungsbolzens 16 und sichert denselben gegen Verschiebung aus seiner Verriegelungsposition. Beim späteren Ankoppeln des Halters 13 an die Stopfplatte 14 greift die Gabel 15 des Halters um den Bolzen 16 und eine Gabel 29a der Kolbenstange eines am Halter 13 befestigten Zylinders 29 ergreift einen Kopf 16b jedes Bolzens 16, um denselben aus der Verriegelung zurückzuziehen. Dabei schiebt die Gabel 29a den Sicherungsschieber 28 nach oben. Figures 10 and 11 also show an additional Securing the locking bolts 16. At the carrier 13 uncoupled tamping plate 14 according to FIG. 10 engages Safety slide 28 behind the inner end of each Locking bolt 16 and secures the same against Shift from its locked position. At the later coupling the holder 13 to the stuffing plate 14 grips the fork 15 of the holder around the bolt 16 and one Fork 29a of the piston rod one attached to the holder 13 Cylinder 29 engages a head 16b of each pin 16 to withdraw it from the lock. Here the fork 29a pushes the safety slide 28 upwards.

Beim erneuten Entkuppeln des Halters 13 von der Stopfplatte 14, nachdem die Verriegelungsbolzen 16 eingerückt sind, wird der Halter 13 weggeschwenkt und der Verriegelungsschieber 28 fällt in seine Sicherungsstellung nach Figur 10 zurück. Da auch der Zylinder 29 Teil der Stopfvorrichtung ist, benötigt auch bei dieser Ausführung der Sammelcontainer keine Hydraulik.When the holder 13 is uncoupled from the stuffing plate 14 after the locking bolts 16 are engaged, the holder 13 is pivoted away and the Locking slide 28 falls into its securing position back to Figure 10. Since the cylinder 29 is part of the Darning device is also required for this version the collecting container no hydraulics.

Figur 13 zeigt eine weitere Variante, die weitgehend derjenigen nach den Figuren 8 und 9 entspricht. Die Kolbenstange 25 des Zylinders 19a wirkt hierbei über einen Hebel 27 auf die Welle 20 mit den Verriegelungshebeln 18. Den beiden Verriegelungshebeln 18 sind fest angeordnete Anschlagbleche 18b zugeordnet, welche die Lage der Oberkante der Stopfplatte 14 auch dann eindeutig festlegen, wenn das Joch 9 bei entfernter Stopfvorrichtung, also beim Transport des Sammelcontainers 1, entfernt ist.Figure 13 shows a further variant, which is largely corresponds to that according to FIGS. 8 and 9. The Piston rod 25 of the cylinder 19a acts here via a Lever 27 on the shaft 20 with the locking levers 18th The two locking levers 18 are fixed Associated stop plates 18b, which the location of the Then clearly define the top edge of the stuffing plate 14, if the yoke 9 with the stuffing device removed, that is Transport of the collecting container 1 is removed.

Das Fahrzeug kann auch als übliches Kehrichtsammelfahrzeug verwendet werden, an welchem die Stopfvorrichtung 5 dauernd angekuppelt bleibt. Ist in diesem Falle der Sammelcontainer 1 mit einer Ausstossvorrichtung für den Kehricht versehen, sind hydraulische Zylinder vorgesehn, mittels welchen der Adapter 2 zusammen mit der Stopfvorrichtung 5 hochgeschwenkt werden kann, um den Kehricht nach hinten auszustossen. Wird der Kehricht durch Kippen des Sammelcontainers entleert, können die hydraulischen Zylinder zum Hochschwenken des Adapters wegfallen, indem dann beim Kippen des Containers der Adapter 2 mit oder ohne Stopfvorrichtung 5 von selbst von der Oeffnung des Sammelcontainers 1 weggeschwenkt wird.The vehicle can also be used as a regular waste collection vehicle are used, on which the stuffing device 5 continuously remains coupled. In this case it is the collective container 1 provided with an ejection device for the refuse, hydraulic cylinders are provided, by means of which the Adapter 2 together with the tamping device 5 can be swung up to the rubbish to the rear to expel. Is the garbage by tilting the Emptied collection container, the hydraulic Eliminate cylinder for swinging up the adapter by then when tilting the container the adapter 2 with or without Darning device 5 by itself from the opening of the Collection container 1 is pivoted away.
