Definitions

  • the invention relates to a refuse collection vehicle according to the preamble of the claim 1.
  • the conveyor which also acts as a press, consists of a press die, which in the cross-sectional shape is adapted to the receiving space.
  • the recording room has a horizontal and therefore parallel to the chassis floor over which the Conveyor and press rams can be pushed using a toggle-piston-cylinder system is. If the press ram into one via the toggle-piston-cylinder system retracted position, the garbage can be poured into the recording room become. By pushing the conveyor and press ram, the garbage then conveyed into the receiving opening of the container and pressed at the same time.
  • This arrangement of the conveyor and press ram is maintenance-intensive and prone to failure. So it can, for example, for jamming the ram within the Recording room come. Remedial action must then be taken by the garbage collectors become.
  • the pouring opening is that on the refuse collection vehicle fixed container immediately above the ground. Becomes now collect bio waste with an appropriate waste collection vehicle and transported, it comes here due to the high water content of the compostable Waste to leakage of liquid from the container. Therefore the previously known refuse collection vehicle is not very suitable for those to be collected Garbage with high levels of liquids.
  • DE 42 43 112 A1 describes a refuse collection vehicle according to the preamble of Claim 1 known.
  • Other refuse collection vehicles are from GB-A-1256680 and EP 0 285 582 A2.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore a generic refuse collection vehicle to develop in such a way that it is insensitive to impact and that better conveyance of waste through the fill opening of the container is guaranteed is.
  • the solution is based on a generic refuse collection vehicle by the characterizing features of claim 1 solved.
  • the conveyor from a transmission link rotatable and translationally slidable slide formed and the bottom of the The receiving space initially falls from the pouring opening towards the container sloping downwards and finally going into a substantially horizontal Level above.
  • an inclined plane has already been created in the receiving space, via which the into the pouring opening spilled rubbish slips off.
  • the conveyor only has to still be supportive.
  • the transmission linkage which is a rotatable and translational displacement of the slide enables it is ensured that the slide along the inclined and horizontal plane up to the filling opening the container can be moved into it. So the slider is only a support here Element since the garbage is not pushed along a horizontal plane must be, as was still the case with the prior art.
  • the transmission linkage comprises two parallel swivel arms, between which at one end the slider is pivoted. At their parallel Swivel arms attack rotatably mounted holding arms with one end, the with its other end in turn rotatable on the vehicle, i.e. in the field of Pouring unit, are stored. At least one is also stationary on the vehicle pivoted angle lever is rotatable with a free end Swivel arms connected and with the other free end with an adjusting device.
  • the adjusting device can advantageously consist of a piston-cylinder unit, which is also pivoted in the dumping unit.
  • a particularly beneficial one Embodiment consists in that the floor of the receiving space is advanced so far is that he is docked into the opening of the garbage truck Containers reaches into it. This effectively prevents that the conveyed from the receiving space into the container Garbage falls between the dumping unit and the container and thereby the vehicle is contaminated.
  • Another advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in that the opening of the container via one on the container hinged lid hinged below the opening is in its open position perpendicular to the container protrudes and in this position in one in the refuse collection vehicle provided space below the recording space is recordable.
  • This arrangement of the pivotable lid has the Advantage that when setting down the container possibly from the fill opening falling garbage falls on the lid and conveyed back into the filling opening when the lid is closed becomes.
  • the container points below the fill opening a raised wall on which a leakage, for example water entering the container using compostable waste effectively prevented.
  • the garbage collection vehicle system shown in Fig. 1 in its entirety consists of a truck with a short wheelbase to the vehicle to give good maneuverability when collecting garbage.
  • the cab 10 is in front of the front axle 12 on the base frame 14 of the chassis attached low so that it is with its bottom edge to the area of the plane of the wheel axle or even lower protrudes and the driver has a good view of standing next to the road Garbage container granted.
  • On the chassis is with the vehicle frame 14 a pouring unit 16 connected such that this between the cab 10 and a container 18 is arranged and extends over the cab 10.
  • the lifting and tilting device 20 corresponds to that from EP 0 163 859 B1 described type and allows a or several gripping claws 22 garbage containers not shown here record and overhead up to the opening 24 of the To pivot pouring unit 16 in a known manner.
  • the pouring unit 16 essentially consists of a receiving space 26, in which the garbage is discharged via a pouring opening 24 the dumped waste container is emptied.
  • Fig. 1 is the bottom 28 of the receiving space 26 formed such that it falls down at an angle and then goes into a substantially horizontal plane. It is the recording room with its floor so dimensioned that the Bottom protrudes into a filling opening 30 in the container 18.
  • At the Recording space are also oblique side walls 32 so far pulled out that, as shown in Fig. 1, partially in the opening 30 of the container 18 protrude. This will ensures that no garbage pushed into the container between the container 18 and the garbage unit 16 falls.
  • the conveyor exists from a translatable via a transmission linkage 36 sliding slide 38.
  • the rotatable and translational Slidability of the slide 38 leads to the fact that this in is essentially movable along the bottom 28 and thereby the rubbish poured into the receiving space 26 towards the container 18 can promote.
  • the transmission linkage 36 consists essentially of two parallel pivot arms 40, at one end of the slide 38th is pivotally articulated.
  • the parallel pivot arms 40 rotatably mounted holding arms 42 articulated with their free other end stationary but rotatable on the vehicle in the area of Receiving room walls are stored.
  • Also on the swivel arms 40 engages a free end of at least one angle lever 44 on, which is also stationary about an axis 46 but rotatable on the vehicle is stored and with its other free end over one Piston-cylinder arrangement 48 is pivotable.
  • On the swivel arms 40 is also rotatable one end of a piston-cylinder unit 50 hinged, the other free end of the slide 38th is also pivoted.
  • FIGS. 2a to 2d The kinematics of the conveyor 34 is shown in FIGS. 2a to 2d based on characteristic positions of the slide shown.
  • 2a is the piston-cylinder unit 48 and the piston-cylinder unit 50 each retracted.
  • the slide 38 is folded in and the slide 38 is on its way from its extended and into the container 18th protruding position, as shown in Fig. 1, back in its starting position, in which it is inserting of garbage along floor 28 begins.
  • 2b is the piston-cylinder unit 50 still retracted while the piston-cylinder unit 48 is extended so that the swivel arms 40 together can be moved further back with the slider 38.
  • FIG. 3 A part of the container 18 is shown separately in FIG. 3.
  • the filling opening 30 of the container extends between two wall sections 52 and 54.
  • the wall section 54 from the floor 56 of the container pulled up, so that possibly collected in the container Liquid does not run out of it easily can.
  • a cover 62 is pivotably articulated about an axis 60, the one in its open position perpendicular to the container 18 protrudes and the opening 30 in its closed position covers.
  • the cover 62 downwards swings open, so that garbage, when removing the container 18th falls out of the vehicle from the opening 30, directly onto the Cover 62 falls, so that the garbage deposited thereon by folding up the lid by means of the linkage 58 back into the Container is promoted.
  • the cover 62 is pulled up at an angle Edge areas 64 provided. In its open position the cover 62 is in a space 66 below the receiving space 26 recorded in the refuse collection vehicle, as well as this is shown in Fig. 1.
