Definitions
- the present invention concerns a device for handling and emptying the contents of containers for waste collection.
- the means already known for lifting the container consist of a guiding frame associated to a wall of the vehicle, made of two parallel guides on which slides a carriage associated to the coupling means of the container.
- the guides are substantially hinged to the upper section of the vehicle body; a carriage slides between the guides bearing a device with arms for the coupling of the container.
- the emptying of the container occurs substantially with the container projecting over the upper edge of the body of the vehicle used for waste collection; therefore, the handling and emptying of a container is not possible when the latter is positioned, for instance, in places where there is an obstruction in the height, such as a balcony or recess, or the branches of a tree jutting out over the vehicle body.
- longer arms are used for reducing the guide length.
- the greater length of the gripping arms does not allow the structure to couple the containers placed too near the side edge of the vehicle, a very important operation in order to prevent the vehicle from moving too near the centre-line of the road.
- due to the length of the gripping arms, especially when these arms have gripped the container high flexure moments are caused due to the distance between the load supported overhanging by the carriage and the rotation axis of the gripping arms, which can be bucked by manufacturing the device with a sturdy complex frame.
- the guide frame hinged on the upper end to an oscillating element articulated with the vehicle. Even if the emptying height of the container is reduced with this method, the emptying height of the container remains anyway such, that during the emptying operation, the container will largely exceed the upper bulk of the vehicle. Moreover, the emptying height is not a consistent one but as a function of the inclination of the guiding frame, according to the position of the container with respect to the vehicle.
- the known guiding frames solely exert the function of approaching the gripping arms to the container and sliding carriage for the translation of the container. It is the aim of the present invention to provide a device for handling and emptying the contents of containers for waste collection, which has not the drawbacks of the known state of art, but has operating advantages, is easy to use and has limited costs.
- a further aim of the present invention is to provide a device for handling and emptying the contents of containers for waste collection, in which the size of the container during the emptying stage remains substantially within the vehicle height.
- a further aim of the present invention is to provide a device for handling and emptying the contents of containers for waste collection, in which the guides for lifting and emptying the container can be made of such a length to reach the containers far away from the vehicle without increasing the fixed length of the guiding frame.
- reference 1 indicates a vehicle for refuse collection comprising a body 2, inside which the contents of waste containers C is emptied, a device 3 for handling the container C associated to a side wall 4 of the vehicle 1.
- the body 2 has an opening 5 for emptying the contents of the waste containers inside it.
- the device 3 comprises a first guiding frame 6, which is obtained by two parallel uprights integral to each other, indicated with reference 7, said frame being hinged to a supporting structure 8 fastened to the side wall 4 of the body 2.
- a second guiding frame 9 is provided, which is also obtained by two parallel uprights integral to each other, indicated with reference 10, which can slide between the uprights 7 of said first guiding frame 6, from a first position where it is inserted into the first guiding frame 6 and a second position where it is substantially fully projecting outside the latter.
- the second guiding frame 9 may also take any position between the previous two, as a function of the position of the waste container C.
- Reference 11 indicates a sliding carriage between the uprights 10 of the second guide 9.
- Reference 12 indicates a coupling device of the container C associated to the carriage 11.
- the coupling device has two gripping arms 13, which can rotate by means of hydraulic actuators around an axis perpendicular to the displacing axis of the carriage 11.
- the distance between the two arms 13, placed each one at an end of the device 12, is regulated automatically in function of the width of the container C to be coupled.
- the gripping arms 13 in their rest stage i.e. when the guide 6 is positioned adjacent to the vehicle and the latter shifts for the gripping and emptying of another container, are vertically positioned in parallel to the guiding frame 6 facing downwards, and the second guiding frame 9 is partially inserted in the first guiding frame 6, so that the lower end of the gripping arms 13 is substantially positioned at the lower level of the body 2 (see Fig. 2).
- Reference 14 indicates two hydraulic actuators articulated to an end to the supporting structure 8 fastened to the side wall 4 of the body 2, in a different location from the one in which the upper end of the first guiding frame 6 is articulated, and on the other end they are articulated sideways each one on a lower end of the uprights 7 of it.
- Partial activation of the actuators 14 determines an inclination towards the external part of the vehicle of the lower end of the first guiding frame 6 in order to approach it to the container C.
- the inclination provided by the actuators 14 to the first guiding frame 6 corresponds to one same inclination of the second guiding frame 9 sliding inside the first one.
- Reference 15 indicates two hydraulic actuators articulated on one end to the first guiding frame 6, and articulated sideways on the other end each one to a lower end of the uprights 10 of the second guiding frame 9.
- Activation of the actuators 15 determines a sliding movement of the second guiding frame 9 in the first guiding frame 6, and a translation of the carriage 11 in the second guiding frame 9.
- the carriage 11 is handled by means of a mechanical transmission consisting of wheels and chains, not shown in the figure as commonly known as such, which is connected to the first guiding frame 6 and carriage 11, so that any displacement imparted by the actuators 15 to the second guiding frame 9 corresponds to a displacement in the same direction of the carriage 11, the length of which is about double the path of the second guiding frame 9, with respect to the first guiding frame 6.
- the carriage 11 In the emptying position of the container C, the carriage 11 is positioned in the upper section of the second guiding frame 9, whereas the lower end of the latter is about aligned to the lower end of the first guiding frame 6.
- the carriage 11 In the position of maximum extension of the second guiding frame 9, exiting the first guiding frame 6, the carriage 11 is substantially positioned on the lower end of the second guiding frame 9.
- the vehicle In order to operate the device, the vehicle is placed near the container, with respect to the driving direction.
- the vehicle shall be positioned with respect to the container to be emptied by means of common systems, such as a telecamera located on the vehicle.
- this is obtained for example by means of ultrasound sensors.
- the first guiding frame 6 is inclined by means of the actuators 14 outside the vehicle in order to approach and address its lower end towards the container C, while at the same time the actuators 15 are activated for shifting the second guiding frame 9 sliding in the first guiding frame 6.
- the container is then grabbed by the coupling device 12 by means of the arms 13.
- the actuators 15 are activated again in the opposite direction, so as to cause the second guiding frame 9 slide back in the first guiding frame 6.
- the carriage 11 is substantially positioned on the upper end of the second guiding frame 9, even if its path is longer than the one of the latter for the reasons previously indicated, i.e. due to the connecting and transmission method between the carriage 11, first guiding frame 6 and second guiding frame 9, it covers a substantially double path than the one covered by the second guiding frame 9.
- the actuators 14 are subsequently activated for transmitting a rotating movement upwards to the first guiding frame 6 around the hinging fulcrum of the latter to the supporting structure 8 fastened to the side wall 4 of the body 2.
- This rotating movement is transmitted to the second guiding frame 9, which is associated in a sliding way to the first frame and consequently to the carriage 11 associated in a sliding way to the second guiding frame 9, and to the coupling device 12 of the container C associated to the carriage 11, so as to obtain a rotation of the container C itself for emptying it into the body 2 of the vehicle 1, as shown by the dotted lines in the Figs. 3, 4 and 5.
- the arms 13 shall obviously be fitted with known means for the sealing of the container when it is tilted and for the opening of the container cover.
- the coupling device shall be suitable for the type of container to be picked up.
- a reverse operation is then carried out for repositioning the container on the ground.
- the container is illustrated as if it were positioned in a recess R, R1 and R2, respectively, whose upper section T projects over the body 2 of the vehicle 1.
- Reference V indicates the profile of the path covered by the container C during the shifting stage for emptying its contents in the body of the vehicle.
- the container C can be handled, i.e. coupled, lifted, emptied and positioned back on the ground, without interfering with the upper side of the recess, which takes a space over the body 2.
- the configuration of the guiding frame 6, as a function of the distance where the container C is located with respect to the vehicle 1, will remain substantially constant for the whole coupling/uncoupling, lifting/descent operation of the container C, whereas the emptying of its contents into the body 2 and its positioning back on the ground shall be executed right through a rotation of the guiding frame 6, as previously described.
- the container C may interfere with the lower end of the first guiding frame 6, the container C should be inclined by means of the arms 13. This would entail the risk of dropping some of the contents of the container C before it will reach its emptying position.
- the inclination of the first guiding frame 6 is reduced up to a position such to avoid a possible interference with the container C.
- This system detects the positioning parameters of the vehicle in the driving direction with respect to the container, the distance between the vehicle and the container and the positioning of the coupling device on the container.
- the device for handling and emptying the contents of containers for waste collection is obtained in a simple and economical way.
- the bulk of the first guiding frame 6 when rotating during the emptying stage of the container is smaller then the bulk of the container itself during rotation; this is due to the fact that during the emptying stage of the container the second guiding frame is inserted in the first frame and does not take any space during rotation. Therefore, this allows an emptying stage of the container with a minimum bulk both in the height of the container with respect to the vehicle and in the rotation of the first guiding frame for bringing the container in its emptying position.
