Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lifting-tilting device for refuse collection vehicles according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • US-A-5 711 565 shows a lift-and-tilt device for refuse collection vehicles of the type in question with gripping arms of extruded aluminum in a single extrusion for gripping a refuse container.
  • the gripping arms are attached to plates, which in turn are rigidly secured to pivot pins.
  • FR-A-0 988-541 proposes, for weight minimization, to make support bars as light as possible, for example of composite material or perforated metal or of a light alloy.
  • DE-B-1 128 802 discloses a pivotal plate made of aluminum, to which steel suspension hooks for garbage cans are attached.
  • a lift-tilt device for refuse collection vehicles form such that it has a lower weight and a weaker hydraulic system than can be used by the prior art.
  • weight heavy structural parts and weldments are avoided.
  • the weight of the Hup-tilting device is substantially reduced, the assembly effort is reduced, and the energy required to move the individual parts of the lift-and-tilt device is reduced.
  • the power to drive the device is normally taken from the traction drive motor.
  • the seamless one-piece shaping of the construction parts, the production is much easier and cheaper.
  • the lift-tilt device according to the invention can be arranged at the front, on one longitudinal side or on the back of refuse collection vehicles, depending on whether the refuse collection vehicle is a front loader, side loader or rear loader.
  • the lifting and tilting devices according to the invention shown in Fig.1 and Fig.2 serve for receiving and emptying of at least one refuse container in a refuse collection vehicle. It contains construction parts for the detection, lifting and tilting of at least one refuse container, which will be described in more detail below. Furthermore, it contains a hydraulic system controlled by an electric control device for moving at least some of these structural parts relative to each other. Of the hydraulic system, since it is well known, only individual hydraulic cylinders are shown.
  • At least one pivot arm and a rotatably connected together with this pivot shaft are integrally formed seamlessly from a material whose weight, in particular its specific gravity, is lower than the weight, in particular the specific gravity of iron.
  • Such structural members may be made of an alloy or of a composite of a plurality of materials blended together to form a one-piece, seamlessly-shaped body.
  • the specific gravity used is the mean value of those used Materials, so that a certain volume of this mixed material or alloy has a smaller weight than an equal size body of iron, which has the same volume (material content).
  • the material is a material from the following group of materials: aluminum, aluminum alloy, plastic, plastic composite material, carbon fibers, carbon fiber composite material, fiber reinforced plastic material, in particular carbon fiber reinforced plastic material.
  • These structural parts are preferably produced in one piece by injection molding.
  • Other suitable methods may include non-cutting shaping methods, e.g. Sintering process, and be cutting processes.
  • At least one pivot arm preferably two pivot arms 2 and 4 are provided, which are pivotally connected to a base body 6 about a horizontal pivot axis 8.
  • the pivot arms 2 and 4 each consist of an integrally seamless molded part of a material or material mixture or alloy with lower weight than iron.
  • the pivot axis 8 is defined by a pivot shaft or pivot pin 10, which is rotatably connected to the pivot arm 2 and 4 and together with this is a one-piece seamlessly shaped part of a material with a lower weight than iron.
  • the pivot shaft 10 may be a passing through both pivot arms 2 and 4 shaft or a split shaft according to the drawings.
  • the base body 6 is in the form of a frame or housing and is preferably also an integrally seamless molded part of a lower weight material than iron.
  • a lift truck 12 is connected in a frame 13 by the hydraulic system, of which only pressure cylinder 14 are shown, hydraulically vertically movable with the pivot arms 2, 4 at a location remote from the pivot axis 8 point.
  • the lift truck 12 is preferably an integrally seamless molded part of a lower weight material than iron.
  • a container receiving means in the form of a receiving comb 16 is provided, which has upwardly projecting comb fingers 18. These can intervene by lifting the lift truck 12 from bottom to top in a holding device of a refuse container and lift the bin.
  • a terminal block or a terminal block comb 20 is provided for locking the holding device of the refuse container between this terminal block and the receiving comb 16.
  • the receiving comb 16 on the one hand and the terminal block 20 on the other hand preferably each consist of a seamless integrally molded part of a material with a lower weight than iron ,
  • the lift-tilt device of Figure 1 is preferably designed for the simultaneous recording and emptying of two garbage containers. Accordingly, it has not one, but two container support plates 22 and 24 on the truck 12, on which the refuse containers can rest during the tilting movement. These container support plates 22, 24 also preferably consist of a seamless integrally molded part of a lower weight material than iron.
  • the support arms 26 and 28 are each integrally seamlessly molded from a lower weight material than iron.
  • the two support arms 26 and 28 serve to receive refuse containers, which are substantially larger than the refuse containers, which are portable by the receiving comb 16.
  • the support arms 26 and 28 may be fixed to the lift truck 12 according to FIG. 1 rigidly or according to FIG. 2 pivotably about a hinge axis.
  • Figure 2 The difference of Figure 2 compared to Figure 1 is that in Figure 2 two pallet trucks 12-1 and 12-2 arranged side by side, which are each pivotally connected via articulated arms 36 with pivot arms 2 and 4 by joints 38, the Parallelogrammlenker form. Thereby, the two trucks 12-1 and 12-2 can optionally be raised together or separately vertically by at least one hydraulic cylinder 40 of the hydraulic system, and then individually or separately pivoted upwards for tilting garbage containers, depending on the embodiment of the hydraulic system and the electrical control device (Not shown).
  • a separate receiving comb 16-1 or 16-2 is provided for each lift truck 12-1 and 12-2.
  • both support arms 26 and 28 are attached to a pallet truck 12-1 and the other on the other pallet truck 12-2.
  • the attachment is preferably not rigid, but pivotable by a hinge 42, preferably about a vertical pivot axis.
  • they can be folded in a mutually directed vehicle driving position or in a from the two trucks 12-1 and 12-2 outwardly projecting position for receiving a refuse container, which is larger than a refuse container, which is portable by one of the two receiving combs 16-1 or 16-2.
  • both trucks 12-1 and 12-2 must be raised together first vertically and then tilted together upwards.
  • terminal strips 20-1 and 20-2 are provided instead of a single terminal strip two successively arranged in longitudinal directions terminal strips 20-1 and 20-2 are provided.
  • both trucks 12-1 and 12-2 can be raised and tilted simultaneously for the simultaneous emptying of garbage containers.
  • container retention elements 44-1 and 44-2 can be fastened at the top in the tipping area of the containers, which prevent or brake the bins from swirling through.
  • Figures 4-6 show a lift-tilt device 50 according to the invention on a refuse collection vehicle 52 and just a refuse container 54.
