Abstract

A dumper truck has a chassis on which the tipping mechanism raises and empties the hinged container. The chassis bears a fixed transverse U-shaped panel (12) onto which the container is lowered at the end of each cycle. The U-shaped panel also has a rubber base (14) and metal sidewalls (16, 18) which hold the lowered container.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Entleeren von Behältern in einen Sammelbehälter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for emptying containers into a collecting container according to the preamble of claim 1.

Beispielsweise aus der DE 10 24 009 C ist eine Kippvorrichtung für Müllbehälter bekannt, bei der eine Anlageplatte für die zu entleerenden Müllbehälter am freien Ende eines Schwenkarmes um eine zur Schwenkachse parallele Achse pendelnd gelagert ist. Um die Anlageplatte in ihrer mit der Längsachse des Schwenkarms etwa parallelen Betriebslage zu halten, ist sie zusätzlich an ihrem oberen Teil mittels eines Abscherbolzens am Schwenkarm befestigt. Dieser Abscherbolzen bildet zusammen mit der Pendelachse der Anlageplatte eine Sicherungseinrichtung gegen Stoßeinwirkung. Jedoch ist diese Sicherung nur bei solchen Stoßeinwirkungen wirksam, die geeignet sind, eine Pendelbewegung der Anlageplatte bezüglich des Schwenkarms hervorzurufen. Bei jeglicher anderer Stoßeinwirkung auf die Anlageplatte bleibt die Sicherungseinrichtung unwirksam. Der Anlageplatte bei dieser bekannten Vorrichtung fehlt jede Möglichkeit eines federnden Nachgebens oder Pufferns bei Stoßeinwirkung. For example from DE 10 24 009 C is a tilting device for waste containers known in the case of a contact plate for the garbage containers to be emptied outdoors End of a swivel arm oscillating about an axis parallel to the swivel axis is stored. Around the contact plate in its with the longitudinal axis of the swivel arm to keep approximately parallel operating position, it is also on its upper part by means of a shear pin attached to the swivel arm. This shear pin forms together with the pendulum axis of the contact plate, a safety device against Impact. However, this fuse is only in the case of such impacts effective, which are suitable for a pendulum movement of the contact plate with respect to the To cause swivel arms. With any other impact on the contact plate the security device remains ineffective. The contact plate in this known The device lacks any possibility of resilient yielding or buffering with impact.

Aus der DD 207 888 B5 ist eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung bekannt, bei der ein federndes Anlageelement aus einem starren Dübel und einem im Inneren dieses Bügels als Widerlagerelement freistehend angebrachten, sich in Flächenberührung an die Behälterwand legenden Anlagegurt besteht, der nur an seinen beiden Enden zu beiden Seiten des Schwenkarmes bzw. des Hubkipp-Gestells in größerem gegenseitigen Abstand als die Behälterbreite an den seitlichen Enden des starren Bügels befestigt ist, wobei die Befestigungsstellen des Anlagegurtes an den beiden Enden des starren Bügels in Art von gegenüber den Bügelschenkeln verdickten Stoßfängern ausgebildet sind. Zusätzlich ist das bügelförmige Anlageelement im mittleren Teil seines Bügels mittels einer zusätzlichen Stoßsicherungseinrichtung mit dem Schwenkarm verbunden. Durch diese Vorrichtung wird zwar bereits das als solches bereits bekannte Anlageelement dahingehend verbessert, daß eine wirksame Sicherung des Anlageelementes gegen Stoßeinwirkungen aus beliebigen Richtungen geschaffen wird und daß keine Stoßeinwirkungen vom Anlageelement auf die Wand des zu entleerenden Behälters ausgeübt werden. Das Anlageelement baut aber vergleichsweise aufwendig und der lose im Inneren des Bügels liegende Anlagegurt ist großen Verschleißkräften ausgesetzt.From DD 207 888 B5 a generic device is known in which a resilient contact element from a rigid dowel and one inside The bracket is mounted as a free-standing abutment element, in contact with the surface to the container wall laying belt that only at its two ends on both sides of the swivel arm or the lift and tilt frame in a larger mutual Distance as the container width at the lateral ends of the rigid bracket is attached, the attachment points of the belt on the two Ends of the rigid temple in the manner of thickened in relation to the temple legs Bumpers are formed. In addition, the bow-shaped contact element in the middle part of his bracket by means of an additional shock protection device connected to the swivel arm. This device already does that as such already known contact element improved in that a effective securing of the system element against impacts from any Directions is created and that no impact from the contact element be exerted on the wall of the container to be emptied. The investment element but builds comparatively complex and the loose lying inside the temple The belt is exposed to high wear forces.

Ausgehend von dieser Problematik liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung derart weiterzubilden, daß sie einfach baut und daß sie ein schonendes Anlegen des zu entleerenden Behälters am Schwenkarm sicherstellt.Based on this problem, the present invention has the task based on developing a generic device such that it is simple builds and that it gently creates the container to be emptied Ensures swivel arm.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Demnach weist die Vorrichtung zum Entleeren von Behältern in einen Sammelbehälter ein Anlageelement auf das aus einer Halteplatte besteht, in der ein U-förmiges elastisches Formteil gehalten ist. Diese erfindungsgemäße Ausführungsform des Anlageelementes stellt eine besonders einfach aufgebaute Lösung dar, mit der ein schonendes Anlegen des zu entleerenden Behälters sichergestellt werden kann. Die Halteplatte selbst kann als einfache Schweißkonstruktion ausgeführt werden. Das elastische Formteil, das gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung aus Gummi bestehen kann, paßt sich ideal an die Außenkontur des zu entleerenden Behälters an. Im Servicefall läßt sich das U-förmige elastische Formteil sehr einfach austauschen.According to the invention the object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Accordingly, the device for emptying containers into a collecting container a contact element on which consists of a holding plate in which a U-shaped elastic molded part is held. This embodiment of the invention of the contact element represents a particularly simple solution, with which a careful creation of the container to be emptied can be ensured can. The holding plate itself can be designed as a simple welded construction become. The elastic molded part, which according to a preferred embodiment Rubber can exist, adapts ideally to the outer contour of the to be emptied Container. In the case of servicing, the U-shaped elastic molded part can be very easily change.

Das in den Fig. 1 bis 3 dargestellte Anlageelement 10 besteht im wesentlichen aus einer Anlageplatte 12 und einem U-förmigen elastischen Formteil 14, das in der hier beschriebenen Ausführungsvariante aus Gummi besteht. In den Schenkeln 16 und 18 des U-förmigen Formteils sind Durchgangsbohrungen 20 und 22 vorgesehen. An der Halteplatte 12 sind jeweils Laschen 24, 26 und 28, 30 angeschweißt, zwischen die die jeweiligen Schenkel des U-förmigen Formteils ragen. Das U-förmige Formteil ist jeweils durch Schrauben 32 und 34, die durch die Durchgangsbohrungen 22 und 20 hindurchgesteckt sind, an der Halteplatte 12 befestigt, wie sich dies aus den Fig. 1 bis 3 ergibt. Über Schrauben 36 und 38 kann die Halteplatte 12 unmittelbar mit einem hier nicht näher dargestellten Schwenkarm einer Kippvorrichtung bzw. einer Hubkippvorrichtung eines Müllsammelfahrzeuges angeschraubt werden. Aufgrund der Federelastizität des U-förmigen elastischen Formteils erübrigt es sich, zwischen der Halteplatte 12 und dem Schwenkarm federnde Elemente vorzusehen.The contact element 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 consists essentially of a contact plate 12 and a U-shaped elastic molded part 14, which in the here Design variant described consists of rubber. In the legs 16 and 18 of the U-shaped molded part, through holes 20 and 22 are provided. On the holding plate 12 tabs 24, 26 and 28, 30 are welded between which protrude the respective legs of the U-shaped molded part. The U-shaped Molding is by screws 32 and 34, respectively, through the through holes 22 and 20 are inserted, attached to the holding plate 12, as is results from FIGS. 1 to 3. Via screws 36 and 38, the holding plate 12 can directly with a swivel arm of a tilting device, not shown here or a lifting and tipping device of a refuse collection vehicle become. Because of the spring elasticity of the U-shaped elastic molded part is unnecessary it, between the holding plate 12 and the swivel arm resilient elements to provide.
