Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Abfall-Sammelfahrzeug mit einem Einschütttrichter und einer Presse oberhalb und hinter einem Fahrerhaus des Fahrzeuges mit einem einer Entleeröffnung des Einschütttrichters zuordenbaren, auf dem Fahrzeug hinter dem Fahrerhaus abstellbaren Wechselcontainer und mit einer Frontladeeinrichtung zum Bewegen mindestens eines vor bzw. neben dem Fahrzeug abgestellten Müllbehälters in den Bereich des Einfülltrichters, wobei die Frontladeeinrichtung an jeder Fahrzeugseite jeweils mindestens einen drehbar gelagerten Arm aufweist und beide Arme mit einem in Müllbehälter-Aufnahmestellung vor dem Fahrerhaus angeordneten Querbalken verbunden sind, welche mindestens eine Halteeinrichtung für den Müllbehälter lagern.The invention relates to a waste collection vehicle a hopper and a press above and behind a cab of the vehicle with an emptying opening of the hopper, on the vehicle behind interchangeable container in the cab and with a Front loading device for moving at least one in front or next to the vehicle parked waste bin in the area of the hopper, with the front loading device on each Vehicle side at least one rotatably mounted arm has and both arms with one in the bin position Crossbars arranged in front of the cab are connected are which have at least one holding device for the waste container to store.

Zum allgemeinen Stand der Technik zählen sog. Front- oder Seitenladegeräte an Abfall-Sammelfahrzeugen mit Wechselcontainer. Während der gefüllte Container zum Weitertransport in einen leeren Container zur Fortsetzung der Sammeltour ausgetauscht werden kann, bleibt im Allgemeinen die Befülleinrichtung mit Front- oder Seiten-Ladegerät und Presse fest am Fahrzeug installiert. Im Gegensatz zu den weit verbreiteten sog. Heckladern mit festen Aufbauten, bei welchen sich das Ladegerät am Fahrzeugheck befindet, stellen die Müllwerker bei den üblichen Frontladern die Müllbehälter lediglich vor dem Fahrerhaus an das Ladegerät, welches dann diese Müllbehälter über das Fahrerhaus hebt und in den dahinter liegenden Einfülltrichter kippt.The general state of the art includes so-called front or Side chargers on waste collection vehicles with swap bodies. While the filled container for further transport in exchanged an empty container to continue the collecting tour generally remains the filling device with front or side charger and press firmly on the vehicle Installed. In contrast to the widespread so-called Rear loaders with fixed bodies, in which the charger located at the rear of the vehicle, the garbage collectors at the usual front loaders, the garbage can only in front of the cab to the charger, which is then used for this waste container the cab lifts up and into the hopper behind it tilts.

Das übliche Seiten-Ladegerät, welches sich bei Rechtsverkehr im Allgemeinen an der rechten Fahrzeugseite hinter dem Fahrerhaus befindet, wird neuerdings bevorzugt für den Ein-Mann-Betrieb eingesetzt. Dabei ist der Fahrer zugleich Müllwerker. Er fährt mit dem Fahrzeug jeden Müllbehälter so weit an, dass sich das Seiten-Ladegerät gegenüber dem auf der rechten Seite möglichst sorgfältig abgestellten Müllbehälter befindet.The usual side charger, which is used in right-hand traffic generally on the right side of the vehicle behind the cab is now preferred for one-man operation used. The driver is also a garbage collector. He drives every waste container with the vehicle so far that the side charger is opposite the one on the right wherever possible, the waste container is parked with care.

Der Aufnahmeteil (z.B. ein Kamm) des Seiten-Ladegerätes wird rechtwinklig zur Fahrzeugseite ausgefahren und der Müllbehälter mit Hilfe feinfühliger Steuerorgane, welche der Fahrer unter Beobachtung der Aufnahmeeinrichtung bedient, aufgenommen und in den Einfülltrichter hinter dem Fahrerhaus entleert.The receiving part (e.g. a comb) of the side charger is extended at right angles to the side of the vehicle and the waste container with the help of sensitive controls, which the driver operated under observation of the recording device, recorded and emptied into the hopper behind the cab.

Dieses bekannte Verfahren hat folgende Nachteile:

  • Die Müllbehälter können in einer Fahrtrichtung nur von einer Straßenseite eingesammelt werden. Für die andere Straßenseite ist eine Rückfahrt erforderlich, was zusätzlichen Brennstoff und höheren Zeitaufwand kostet.
  • Jeder Müllbehälter muss im Stop-and-Go-Betrieb des Fahrzeugs angefahren werden. Die häufigen Beschleunigungen und Verzögerungen der gesamten Fahrzeugmasse erhöhen ebenfalls den Brennstoffverbrauch.
  • Wegen der ständig nach rückwärts gedrehten Kopf- und Oberkörperhaltung bei der Bedienung der Steuerorgane für das Seitenladegerät ist die körperliche Anstrengung für den Fahrer sehr groß. Es liegt eine ergonomisch ungünstige Situation vor. Eine eingebaute Kamera ist wegen der optischen Raumverzerrung und der ebenen Darstellung erheblich gewöhnungsbedürftig.
  • Die genormten Müllbehälter (MGB) müssen mit ihren Kammleisten sorgfältig parallel zum Straßenrand ausgerichtet werden. Ist dies nicht der Fall, muss der Fahrer aussteigen und nachkorrigieren.
This known method has the following disadvantages:
  • The rubbish bins can only be collected from one side of the street in one direction. A return trip is required for the other side of the road, which costs additional fuel and more time.
  • Every waste bin must be started while the vehicle is in stop-and-go mode. The frequent accelerations and decelerations of the entire vehicle mass also increase fuel consumption.
  • Because the head and upper body are constantly turned backwards when operating the controls for the side charger, the physical effort for the driver is very great. There is an ergonomically unfavorable situation. A built-in camera takes a lot of getting used to because of the optical space distortion and the flat display.
  • The standardized rubbish bins (MGB) must be carefully aligned with their comb strips parallel to the roadside. If this is not the case, the driver has to get out and correct it.

Als Stand der Technik, welcher einige der vorgenannten Nachteile beseitigt, ist eine Seitenladereinrichtung insbesondere bei Müllsammelfahrzeugen bekannt (DE 296 10 795 U2). Durch Ausfahren der Müllbehälteraufnahme des Seiten-Ladegerätes schräg nach vorn befindet sich dieses überwiegend seitlich neben dem Fahrer, so dass sich dieser beim Beobachten des Aufnahmevorganges nicht so weit verdrehen muss.As prior art, which has some of the aforementioned drawbacks eliminated, a side loader device is in particular known in refuse collection vehicles (DE 296 10 795 U2). By Extending the garbage container holder of the side charger This is predominantly to the side at an angle next to the driver, so that the driver Does not have to twist the recording process so far.

Weiterer Stand der Technik ist ein motorgetriebenes Müllsammelfahrzeug mit einem als Wechselbehälter ausgebildeten Container (EP 0 163 859 B1). Hierbei ist ein vorderer Querbalken des Frontladers als Schiene ausgeführt, auf welcher die Behälter-Aufnahmeeinrichtung an einer Seite über die Breite des Fahrzeuges hinaus ausgefahren wird. Da der Fahrer bei der Aufnahme des Müllbehälters auf natürliche Weise schräg nach vorn und zur Seite blickt, ergibt sich eine verbesserte ergonomische Situation. Weiterhin entfällt die genaue Justierung von Müllbehältern, da spezielle technische Vorkehrungen getroffen wurden. Hierdurch wird bewirkt, dass beim Anheben des Müllbehälters sich dieser selbsttätig ausrichtet.Another state of the art is a motor-driven refuse collection vehicle with a container designed as a swap body (EP 0 163 859 B1). Here is a front crossbar of the front loader is designed as a rail on which the container receiving device on one side across the width of the Vehicle is extended. Since the driver at the Natural inclination of the garbage container Looking ahead and to the side results in an improved ergonomic Situation. Furthermore, the exact adjustment is not necessary of garbage containers as special technical precautions have been taken were. This has the effect that when lifting the Garbage container aligns itself.

Ausgehend von dieser bekannten Konstruktion besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, ein Abfall-Sammelfahrzeug zu schaffen, welches die eingangs genannten Nachteile vermeidet und bei verbesserter Bedienbarkeit einen vergrößerten Anwendungsbereich besitzt.The task is based on this known construction of the present invention therein, a waste collection vehicle to create, which the disadvantages mentioned above avoids and with improved usability an enlarged Owns scope.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1. Durch diesen Gelenkarm wird im Zusammenwirken mit der Aufnahmeeinrichtung eine Einheit geschaffen, welche in der Lage ist, einen großen Bereich auf jeder der beiden Fahrzeugseiten zu überdecken, so dass eine genaue Abstellposition des jeweiligen Müllbehälters nicht erforderlich ist. Weiterhin liegen für den Fahrer ergonomisch günstige Bedingungen bei der Bedienung der einzelnen Elemente vor.This object is achieved with the features in the characterizing part of claim 1. This articulated arm works together created a unit with the receiving device, which in is able to create a large area on either side of the vehicle cover so that an exact parking position of the respective waste container is not required. Farther are ergonomically favorable conditions for the driver Operation of the individual elements.

Die Bewegung des mit dem Gelenkarm versehenen Querbalkens von einem Aufnahmebereich unterhalb und vor dem Fahrerhaus und ihrem Schüttbereich oberhalb und hinter diesem Fahrerhaus zählt in diesem Zusammenhang bereits zum allgemein bekannten Stand der Technik (US-PS 2,824,655).The movement of the crossbar provided with the articulated arm a recording area below and in front of the cab and their dumping area above and behind this cab already belongs to the well-known in this context State of the art (US Pat. No. 2,824,655).

Der Gelenkarm besteht aus mehreren, durch Drehgelenke miteinander verbundenen Hebelarmen. Beispielsweise kann der Gelenkarm aus einem Einfachhebel mit beidseitig daran angeordneten Doppelhebeln gestaltet sein, wobei der eine, länger ausgebildete Doppelhebel über ein Drehgelenk mit dem Querbalken und der andere, kürzer ausgebildete Doppelhebel über ein Drehgelenk mit der Aufnahmeeinrichtung verbunden ist. Die Drehgelenke sind jeweils um eine vertikale Drehachse drehbar und mit einem Drehantrieb ausgestattet.The articulated arm consists of several lever arms connected by swivel joints. For example, the articulated arm can be made from a single lever designed with double levers on both sides be, the one, longer trained double lever over a Swivel with the crossbar and the other, shorter one Double lever via a swivel joint with the mounting device connected is. The swivel joints are each one vertical axis of rotation rotatable and equipped with a rotary drive.

Vorteilhafterweise können die Drehantriebe als Schwenkmotoren ausgebildet sein. Die Aufnahmeeinrichtung kann mit mindestens einem Eingriffselement für den Müllbehälter versehen sein, wobei dieses Eingriffselement beispielsweise als in der Kammleiste des Müllbehälters eingreifbarer Kamm ausgebildet ist.The rotary drives can advantageously be used as Swivel motors can be formed. The receiving device can with at least one engagement element for the waste container be provided, this engaging element for example as a comb that can be engaged in the comb strip of the waste container is trained.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous further developments result from the subclaims.

Furthermore, a front loading device 3 for Move at least one parked in front of or next to the vehicle 1 Garbage container 6 in the area of the hopper 38 provided.

Die Frontladeeinrichtung 3 weist insbesondere nach Fig. 2 an jeder Fahrzeugseite jeweils mindestens einen um eine Achse 10 drehbar gelagerten Arm 9 bzw. 9' auf. Die beiden Arme 9 und 9' sind mit einem in Müllbehälter-Aufnahmestellung vor dem Fahrerhaus 35 angeordneten Querbalken 7 verbunden. Die Verbindung zwischen den Armen 9 und 9' und dem Querbalken 7 erfolgt über Gelenkhebel 12 und 12' sowie Drehgelenke 8.The front loading device 3 instructs in particular according to FIG. 2 at least one on each side of the vehicle about an axis 10 rotatably mounted arm 9 or 9 '. The two arms 9 and 9 ' are in a waste container position in front of the cab 35 arranged crossbar 7 connected. The connection between the arms 9 and 9 'and the crossbar 7 takes place over Articulated levers 12 and 12 'and swivel joints 8.

An den Gelenkhebeln 12 und 12' sind über Drehgelenke 29 zwei parallelliegende Kolbenzylindereinheiten 11 und 11' angelenkt, welche die Schwenkbewegung des Querbalkens 7 bewirken können. Der Drehantrieb zum Schwenken der Arme 9 und 9' der Frontladeeinrichtung 3 ist nicht dargestellt.There are two on the articulated levers 12 and 12 'via rotary joints 29 parallel piston cylinder units 11 and 11 'articulated, which can cause the pivoting movement of the crossbar 7. The rotary drive for pivoting the arms 9 and 9 'of the front loading device 3 is not shown.

Der Querbalken 7 verläuft parallel zur Welle 10. In Fahrzeugmitte des Querbalkens 7 ist ein Gelenkarm 4 um eine vertikale Achse 23 drehbar gelagert. Am äußeren Ende dieses Gelenkarms 4, welcher Teil einer Halteeinrichtung für den Müllbehälter ist, befindet sich eine Aufnahmeeinrichtung 5 zur Aufnahme des jeweiligen Müllbehälters 6.The crossbar 7 runs parallel to the shaft 10. In the middle of the vehicle the crossbar 7 is an articulated arm 4 around a vertical Axis 23 rotatably mounted. At the outer end of this articulated arm 4, which part of a holding device for the garbage container is a receiving device 5 for receiving the respective waste container 6.

Der Gelenkarm 4 besteht z.B. aus einem Doppelhebel 13, aus einem Einfachhebel 14 und einem Doppelhebel 15. Hierbei kann der Doppelhebel 13 länger ausgebildet sein als der Doppelhebel 15.The articulated arm 4 is e.g. from a double lever 13, from a single lever 14 and a double lever 15. Here the double lever 13 may be longer than the double lever 15.

Die drei vorgenannten Hebel 13, 14 und 15 sind durch Drehgelenke mit vertikalen Achsen 24 und 25 verbunden und um diese schwenkbar.The three aforementioned levers 13, 14 and 15 are by swivel joints connected to and around vertical axes 24 and 25 swiveling.

Am äußeren Ende des Gelenkarms 4, d.h. am freien Ende des kürzeren Doppelhebels 15, ist die Aufnahmeeinrichtung 5 über ein Drehgelenk mit vertikaler Achse 26 angelenkt und um diese schwenkbar.At the outer end of the articulated arm 4, i.e. at the free end of the shorter double lever 15, the receiving device 5 is over a hinge with a vertical axis 26 and articulated about this swiveling.

Die Aufnahmeeinrichtung 5 enthält beispielsweise einen an einem U-förmigen Tragteil 16 angeordneten, um eine horizontale Achse 17 drehbaren Kamm 18, welcher in der Lage ist, in eine entsprechende Kammleiste des Müllbehälters 6 einzugreifen.The receiving device 5 contains, for example a U-shaped support member 16 arranged to a horizontal Axis 17 rotatable comb 18, which is able to in a appropriate comb strip of the waste container 6 to intervene.

Der Kamm 18 mit dem Drehgelenk um die horizontale Achse 17 ist um einen geringen Winkelbetrag, z.B. α = ± 15°, schwenkbar. Hierdurch besteht die Möglichkeit, dass sich der Kamm 18 auch bei beispielsweise schräg aufgestelltem Müllbehälter 6 selbsttätig der betreffenden Kammleiste anpassen kann, beispielsweise dann, wenn der Müllbehälter 6 auf Schnee oder einem Hindernis schief steht, wie in Fig. 1 angedeutet.The comb 18 with the hinge about the horizontal axis 17 is by a small angular amount, e.g. α = ± 15 °, swiveling. As a result, there is the possibility that the comb 18 also automatically, for example, at an inclined waste container 6 can adjust the comb in question, for example then when the garbage container 6 on snow or one Obstacle is crooked, as indicated in Fig. 1.

Das Drehgelenk mit der Achse 17 für den Kamm 18 befindet sich andererseits z.B. an einem Gleitschuh in einer vertikalen Führung am U-förmigen Tragteil 16. Dieser Gleitschuh mit dem Drehgelenk lässt sich in vertikaler Richtung z.B. mit einer nicht näher dargestellten Kolbenzylindereinheit feinfühlig zum Einfädeln des Kamms 18 in die betreffende Kammleiste des Müllbehälters 6 verfahren.The swivel joint with the axis 17 for the comb 18 is located on the other hand e.g. on a sliding shoe in a vertical Guide on the U-shaped support part 16. This slide shoe with the The swivel joint can be adjusted vertically e.g. with a Piston cylinder unit, not shown in detail, for Threading the comb 18 into the comb strip of the waste container in question 6 procedure.

Alle Drehgelenke des Gelenkarms 4 mit den vertikalen Drehachsen 23, 24, 25 und 26 sind mit entsprechenden Drehantrieben 19, 20, 21 und 22 nach Fig. 1 und 2 versehen. Damit können zwischen den entsprechenden Hebeln 13, 14 und 15 gezielt gesteuerte Schwenkbewegungen ausgeführt werden: Beispielsweise führt der Drehantrieb 19 die Schwenkbewegung des Doppelhebels 13 gegenüber dem Querbalken 7 durch, der Drehantrieb 20 die Schwenkbewegung des Einfachhebels 14 gegenüber dem Doppelhebel 13, der Drehantrieb 21 die Schwenkbewegung des kürzer ausgebildeten Doppelhebels 15 gegenüber dem Einfachhebel und der Drehantrieb 22 die Schwenkbewegung des U-förmigen Tragteils 16 mit dem Kamm 18 gegenüber dem kürzer ausgebildeten Doppelhebel 15 aus. Die vorgenannten Drehantriebe können wegen der kompakten Bauweise vorzugsweise Schwenkmotoren sein.All swivel joints of the articulated arm 4 with the vertical axes of rotation 23, 24, 25 and 26 are with corresponding rotary drives 19, 20, 21 and 22 according to FIGS. 1 and 2. So that can specifically controlled between the corresponding levers 13, 14 and 15 Swiveling movements are carried out: For example the rotary drive 19 performs the pivoting movement of the double lever 13 with respect to the crossbar 7, the rotary drive 20 Pivotal movement of the single lever 14 relative to the double lever 13, the rotary drive 21, the pivoting movement of the shorter one Double lever 15 compared to the single lever and Rotary drive 22, the pivoting movement of the U-shaped support part 16 with the comb 18 compared to the shorter double lever 15 out. The aforementioned rotary drives can because of the compact Construction preferably be swing motors.

Der Drehantrieb 21 wird zweckmäßigerweise nur in drei Feststellungen gefahren, und zwar mit einer gestreckten Mittelstellung, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, welche sich zwischen zwei Einklappstellungen des Gelenkarms 4 befindet. Die beiden Einklappstellungen sind nach Fig. 2 um 180° versetzt, wobei zur Verdeutlichung lediglich eine Einklappstellung strichliert dargestellt wurde.The rotary drive 21 is expediently only in three determinations driven, with an extended middle position, as shown in Fig. 2, which is between two Folding positions of the articulated arm 4 is located. The two folding positions 2 are offset by 180 ° according to FIG Clarification only a collapsed position was shown.

Den Drehantrieb 22 steuert der Fahrer so, dass der Kamm 18 nach Anfahren an den Müllbehälter 6 parallel zu dessen Kammleiste steht. Da sich der Kamm 18 um 180° um die vertikale Achse 26 schwenken lässt, werden vorteilhafterweise an die Aufstellgenauigkeit des Müllbehälters 6 keine besonderen Anforderungen gestellt. Die Kammleisten sollten nur in irgendeiner Position zur Straße weisen, damit sie der Fahrer sehen kann.The driver controls the rotary drive 22 such that the comb 18 after approaching the garbage container 6 parallel to the comb strip stands. Since the comb 18 is 180 ° around the vertical Axis 26 can be pivoted, advantageously to the Installation accuracy of the garbage container 6 no special requirements posed. The comb strips should only be in any Point to the road so that the driver can see it can.

Die Drehantriebe 19 und 20 arbeiten vorzugsweise abhängig voneinander. Der Fahrer gibt mit einem Bedienungselement (z.B. einem Joystick) lediglich die Annäherung und die Annäherungsgeschwindigkeit des Gelenkarmes mit der Aufnahmeeinrichtung vor.The rotary drives 19 and 20 preferably work dependent from each other. The driver uses a control element (e.g. a joystick) only the approach and the approach speed of the articulated arm with the receiving device in front.

Für die grobe Höheneinstellung der Aufnahmeeinrichtung 5 an unterschiedliche Müllbehältergrößen und zum Abheben der Behälter vom Boden wird die Frontladeeinrichtung 3 betätigt. Dabei werden die Kolbenzylindereinheiten 11 und 11' in Abhängigkeit vom Schwenkantrieb für die Arme 9 und 9' so gesteuert, dass der Gelenkarm in einem weiten Höhenbereich parallel, d.h. horizontal bleibt. Der vorstehend beschriebene Einklappvorgang der Hebel 13, 14 und 15, also das Anlegen des Müllbehälters 6 an die Frontladeeinrichtung 3, erfolgt über Totmann-Schaltung automatisch. Der Entleerungsvorgang mit Heben des Müllbehälters 6 über das Fahrerhaus 35 und Kippen in den Einschütttrichter 1 läuft in an sich bekannter Weise ab.For the rough height adjustment of the receiving device 5 different garbage container sizes and for lifting the containers the front loading device 3 is actuated from the floor. there the piston-cylinder units 11 and 11 'are dependent controlled by the swivel drive for the arms 9 and 9 'so that the articulated arm is parallel over a wide range of heights, i.e. stays horizontal. The folding process described above the levers 13, 14 and 15, i.e. the creation of the garbage container 6 to the front loading device 3, via dead man's circuit automatically. The emptying process with lifting the garbage container 6 over the cab 35 and tipping into the hopper 1 runs in a manner known per se.

Die erfindungsgemäße Frontladeeinrichtung 3 arbeitet symmetrisch nach beiden Seiten und nach vorn. Beispielsweise lässt sich auf der rechten Fahrzeugseite nach Fig. 2 ein Bereich B abdecken, in welchem sich der betreffende Müllbehälter 6 befinden kann. Das Abfall-Sammelfahrzeug 1 kann damit in einer Fahrtrichtung nach Heranfahren an die rechte oder linke Straßenseite die an beiden Straßenseiten abgestellten Müllbehälter im Ein-Mann-Betrieb entleeren. Ebenso können die am Kopf einer Sackgasse abgestellten Müllbehälter aufgenommen werden.The front loading device 3 according to the invention works symmetrically to both sides and forward. For example, lets an area B on the right-hand side of the vehicle according to FIG. 2 cover in which the relevant waste container 6 are located can. The waste collection vehicle 1 can thus in one Direction of travel after driving up to the right or left side of the road the rubbish bins parked on both sides of the street empty in a one-man operation. Likewise, the head of one Dead end parked garbage can be included.

Aus Fig. 2 geht hervor, dass der Fahrerplatz 27 in der Mitte des Fahrerhauses 35 zwischen beiden Beifahrersitzen 28 und 28' angeordnet ist. Hierdurch hat der Fahrer vorteilhafterweise nach beiden Seiten einen guten Überblick. Die links und rechts davon eingerichteten Beifahrersitze 28 und 28' sind vorteilhafterweise etwas zurückgesetzt, damit der Fahrer nicht behindert und ihm das Ein- und Aussteigen erleichtert wird.2 shows that the driver's seat 27 is in the middle of the cab 35 between the two passenger seats 28 and 28 ' is arranged. As a result, the driver advantageously has a good overview on both sides. The left and right Passenger seats 28 and 28 'of which are arranged are advantageously reset a bit so that the driver is not hindered and it is easier for him to get on and off.
