Definitions

  • the invention relates to a refuse collection vehicle with a side-mounted tilting device for receiving a waste container via a receiving device, wherein the lifting and tipping device with the receiving device away from the vehicle is extendable (X-direction), can be raised against the vehicle (Y-direction) and can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle (Z direction).
  • the refuse collection vehicle should drive as close as possible to the refuse container be so that the lifting and tipping device is in front of the waste container. Subsequently the driver pushes the joystick to the right to the dumping device approx. 15-25 cm to the waste bin. The joystick must then move pulled at the rear to raise the lift and tilt device. If the Receiving device on the lifting and tipping device approaches the edge of the waste container, can the lift and tilt device via a corresponding toggle switch that on the joystick is centered. If the lifting and tipping device Has picked up the waste container, the joystick is held in the reverse position until the Garbage container is raised from the ground to retract the lifting and tipping device without making contact with the ground.
  • the joystick is then pushed to the left, to retract the dumping device with the waste container. At the same time the pouring device is moved in the middle position to the hopper. Of the The joystick is then pulled back to raise and into the bin to empty the funnel. The joystick is then pushed forward to lower the waste bin just before the floor. The funnel area be carefully observed to ensure that the waste bin is complete is emptied. The joystick must then be pushed to the right to the lift and tilt device extend and thus transport the garbage container back. The joystick is then pushed forward to place the waste bin on the Lower ground. Finally, the joystick is pushed to the left to the pouring device retract.
  • This manual control of the lifting and tipping device is comparatively complex and requires a high level of attentiveness and skill on the part of the operator. It is therefore desirable in a garbage collection vehicle of the generic type Way to automate the picking up, emptying and setting down of the waste container.
  • EP 388 618 A2 there is already a system for determining the position of a Garbage container known with the help of a video optical sensor. With this arrangement the location of a waste container should already be detected so that it automatically be picked up via an appropriate lifting and tipping device can. To do this, the garbage containers had to be retroreflective Brands are provided. This requires special equipment for the waste containers. In addition, the corresponding retroreflective brands pollute and thereby become inoperable.
  • the object of the invention is therefore a refuse collection vehicle of the generic type Art in such a way that it correspondingly via a lifting and tipping device can collect, empty and set down emptying waste bins, the Garbage containers do not require any special adjustment.
  • this task is based on a refuse collection vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 by the additional characterizing Features of claim 1 solved.
  • a first sensor is arranged in the area of the receiving device, positioning by means of an emitted bundled sensor beam a garbage can in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle by scanning the outer edge of the container is detectable and that a second sensor in the area of the receiving device is arranged, via which the distance of the refuse container can be determined.
  • the Garbage collection vehicle according to the invention is the collection of the garbage container significantly relieved.
  • the driver of the refuse collection vehicle drives using conventional Methods, for example by estimating or starting with a camera Mark the waste container to be emptied in the longitudinal direction to the vehicle (Z direction) indicates that it is in the detection range of the lifting and tipping device is coming.
  • the core of the control and the automatic is the combined sensor system according to the invention, which i.e. especially the outer edges of the waste container, initially with a bundled one Scans the beam and after corresponding detection of the outer edge with a second sensor scans the front of the trash can to determine the distance ascertain.
  • the sensors are preferably in the area of the receiving device even arranged directly on the receiving device of the lifting and tipping device.
  • the signals from the sensors are processed and controlled by control units the three axes, i.e. controlled the X, Y and Z axes, until the receiving device, for example a receiving comb into the corresponding one Threads the receiving bag of the waste container.
  • control units the three axes, i.e. controlled the X, Y and Z axes, until the receiving device, for example a receiving comb into the corresponding one Threads the receiving bag of the waste container.
  • the receiving device for example a receiving comb into the corresponding one Threads the receiving bag of the waste container.
  • the function of lifting the lifting and tipping device is usually done via a circular path due to the kinematics. With oversteer at the same time the "retract boom" function moves the comb vertically upwards with little Distance to the front wall of the waste container in the receiving pockets of the waste container. Then the waste container is locked, the boom is retracted, Lifting the lifting and tipping device to the tilting position, emptying the waste container, Swinging the garbage container back and setting it down in a known manner.
  • the first sensor can be a bundled optical sensor, preferably an infrared sensor be.
  • This bundled optical sensor is particularly inexpensive grasp the edge of the waste container to be picked up. Building this bundled optical sensor is known per se in the prior art.
  • the second sensor is a wide-spread ultrasonic sensor for recording the distance.
  • a comb receptacle can preferably be provided as the receiving device be in a fixed distance ratio to the scanned outer edge of the Garbage container is arranged on the lifting and tipping device. This allows through appropriate detection of the outer edge of the comb in a simple manner and Drive into the corresponding storage pocket of the waste container.
  • the measuring system can be an evaluation device include the initial distance of the second sensor to the waste container (X direction) can evaluate.
  • a third sensor can also be provided the distance of the receiving device (Z direction) that is traveled in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle measures, here also an evaluation device is to be provided, this can evaluate recorded distance.
  • the waste bin can be returned to its original receiving position be discontinued without the elaborate collection vehicle
  • Position sensors can be attached externally or internally in the hydraulic cylinders have to.
  • the lifting and tipping device 10 is, as shown in FIG. 1, on the side of a refuse collection vehicle 12 arranged. It is in the X direction via a boom 18 from Garbage collection vehicle 12 can be extended laterally. On the boom 18 is the lift and tilt device 10 with its swivel arm 20 and the receiving device arranged thereon 12 fixed. Serves as the receiving device 12 in the present case Example of a comb holder in a corresponding pocket 14 of a waste container 16 can intervene.
  • the structure of the lifting and tipping device corresponds for example that according to EP 700 840 A1, on the content of which is here can be referred.
  • the swivel arm 20 of the lifting and tilting device can be in the Y direction be moved.
  • 2 shows where the combined sensor system consisting of the first and second sensor in the area of the receiving device is arranged.
  • the cradle here from the crest 12 exists, is on the swivel arm 20 in the manner shown here and known per se and arranged way.
  • the combined sensors 22 are arranged, on the one hand, the position of the waste container in the Z direction.
  • the second sensor is also arranged here, via which the Distance is recordable.
