Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Entsorgungsfahrzeug nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie einen Greifarm nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 9. Ein solches Fahrzeug und ein solcher Greiferarm sind aus DE 8 906 456 U bekannt.The invention relates to a disposal vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 and a gripping arm according to the preamble of claim 9. Such a vehicle and such a gripper arm are made DE 8 906 456 U known.

Bei der Entsorgung von Hausmüll, Industriemüll, Reststoffen, die eine Wertstoffsortieranlage durchlaufen haben, Schlacken oder anderen Zuschlagstoffen oder ähnlichen in Behältern bereitgestellten Materialien ist zunehmend eine automatisierte Entsorgung der diese Stoffe aufnehmenden Behälter mit möglichst minimiertem Personal- und Zeiteinsatz gewünscht.In the disposal of household waste, industrial waste, residues that have passed through a recycling plant, slags or other aggregates or similar materials provided in containers is increasingly desired automated disposal of these substances receiving containers with minimized staff and time.

Hierfür werden etwa von Müllverursachern Behälter nebeneinander an die Straße gestellt, damit sie dort vom Greifarm eines Entsorgungsfahrzeugs gegriffen werden können. Bei Vorsehen eines beispielsweise seitlich ausgreifenden Arms können die Behälter automatisiert angehoben und in das Fahrzeug entleert werden, ohne daß neben dem Fahrer weiteres Personal erforderlich wäre. Eine besondere Zeitersparnis ergibt sich dabei, wenn der Greifarm mit mehreren nebeneinander liegenden Tragmitteln ausgestattet ist, die in der Lage sind, gleichzeitig mehrere Behälter zu greifen und zu entleeren.For this purpose, containers are placed side by side next to each other on the street by waste producers, so that they can be gripped by the gripper arm of a disposal vehicle there. By providing a laterally extending arm, for example, the containers can be lifted automatically and emptied into the vehicle without additional personnel being required next to the driver. A special time saving results when the gripper arm is equipped with several adjacent support means, which are able to grip and empty several containers at the same time.

Da verschieden große Behälter entleert werden sollen, werden häufig sogenannte sog. Diamond-Keile mit jeweils von einer nach oben weisenden Spitze sich zu den Seiten und nach hinten abwärts verbreiternden Abgleitschrägen verwendet, die einen Kragen oder ähnlichen vorspringenden Bereich eines Behälters hintergreifen und sich dabei selbst zentrieren können. Damit können etwa ohne Anpassung der Tragmittel Behälter von 240 oder 120 Liter Fassungsvermögen aufgenommen werden. Häufig ist allerdings eine Reihe von einigen Behältern ohne Zwischenabstand unmittelbar nebeneinander aufgestellt - beispielsweise vor Häusern mit mehreren Wohn- oder Gewerbeeinheiten. Da die üblichen genormten Entsorgungsbehälter eine in Draufsicht nahezu quadratischen Außenkontur haben, erscheint eine derartige aufgereihte und einander kontaktierende Anordnung der Behälter den Benutzern auch logisch und akkurat geordnet.Since containers of different sizes are to be emptied, so-called diamond wedges are frequently used, each with an upwardly pointing tip which tapers to the sides and backwards and downwards and which engages behind a collar or similar protruding area of a container can center. Thus, for example, without adaptation of the support means containers of 240 or 120 liters capacity can be added. Often, however, a number of some containers are placed directly next to each other without an intermediate distance - for example, in front of houses with several residential or commercial units. Since the usual standardized disposal containers have an almost square in plan view outer contour, such a lined up and contacting each other arrangement of the container also appears to the users logically and accurately.

Wenn jedoch beispielsweise jeweils zwei Behälter gleichzeitig aufgenommen werden und dabei an den Abgleitschrägen der Diamond-Keile seitlich zu ihrer zentrierten Halterung einige Zentimeter verlagert werden, ist eine automatisierte Rückeinordnung der Behälter in die Reihe erschwert, häufig sogar unmöglich. Die so verschobenen Behälter müssen dann beispielsweise ganz am Ende der Reihe abgestellt werden, wozu das Fahrzeug verfahren werden muß; dies funktioniert zudem nur, wenn dort überhaupt Stellfläche zur Verfügung steht, was angesichts von parkenden Autos häufig nicht der Fall ist; oder der Fahrer muß aussteigen und die Behälter manuell von dem Greifarm nehmen und zurückstellen, was einen erheblichen Mehraufwand bedeutet.However, if, for example, two containers are picked up at the same time and a few centimeters are displaced laterally from the sliding wedges of the diamond wedges to their centered holder, an automated rearrangement of the containers in the row is made difficult, often even impossible. The so shifted containers must then be parked, for example, at the very end of the row, what the vehicle must be moved; this works only if there is even space available, which is often not the case in the face of parked cars; or the driver must get out and manually remove the containers from the gripper arm and reset them, which means a considerable extra effort.

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, die automatisierte Aufnahme und Rückführung von Behältern verschiedener Größen zu verbessern.The invention is based on the problem to improve the automated recording and recycling of containers of different sizes.

Die Erfindung löst dieses Problem durch ein Entsorgungsfahrzeug mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und einen Greifarm mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 9. Hinsichtlich vorteilhafter Ausgestaltungen wird auf die abhängigen Ansprüche 2 bis 8 verwiesen.The invention solves this problem by a disposal vehicle with the features of claim 1 and a gripping arm with the features of claim 9. With regard to advantageous embodiments, reference is made to the dependent claims 2 to 8.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es durch die Verschiebbarkeit von zumindest einem Tragmittel für die Aufnahme auch verschieden breiter Behälter nicht mehr erforderlich, die Behälters durch Abgleiten an den Tragmitteln zu zentrieren, sondern die Behälter können ohne seitliche Verlagerung angehoben und in der gleichen Position wieder abgesetzt werden. Somit wird es auch möglich, zwei Behälter, die eng in einer Reihe mit weiteren stehen, zu greifen und an derselben Stelle wieder abzusetzen - unabhängig von der Behältergröße. Damit kann beispielsweise der Abstand zwischen den Spitzen der Diamond-Keile an Maße von Normbehältern von 120 Litern oder 240 Litern Inhalt, bei denen idealerweise der Abstand der Keilspitzen in einem Fall 490 Millimeter und im anderen Fall 600 Millimeter betragen soll, angepaßt werden.According to the invention, it is no longer necessary by the displaceability of at least one support means for receiving differently wide container to center the container by sliding on the support means, but the container can be lifted without lateral displacement and placed in the same position again. Thus, it is also possible to grab two containers, which are closely in line with others, and settle in the same place again - regardless of the container size. Thus, for example, the distance between the tips of the Diamond wedges to dimensions of standard containers of 120 liters or 240 liters content, in which ideally the distance of the wedge tips in one case should be 490 millimeters and in the other case 600 millimeters, adapted.

Der vorspringende Bereich, insbesondere Kragen, eines Behälters ist an nur einer Behälterseite angeordnet, die zur Entleerung dem Greifarm zugewandt ist. Ein seitliches Umfassen des Behälters ist nicht erforderlich, so daß diese dicht nebeneinander stehen können und durch die Erfindung gleichzeitig parallel angehoben und mit der Verschiebbarkeit zumindest eines Tragmittels entlang einer gedachten Verbindungslinie zwischen den Tragmitteln in Anpassung an die Breite von mehreren derart stehenden Behältern punktgenau wieder abgesetzt werden können.The protruding region, in particular collar, of a container is arranged on only one side of the container, which faces the gripping arm for emptying. A lateral embracing of the container is not required, so that they can stand close together and at the same time raised parallel by the invention and with the displaceability of at least one support means along an imaginary connecting line between the support means in adaptation to the width of several such standing containers punctually deposed again can be.

Insbesondere ist es dabei vorteilhaft, wenn der Abstand der nebeneinander an dem Greifarm angeordneten Tragmittel stufenweise in Anpassung an die Breite von aufzunehmenden Behältern vorwählbar ist, beispielsweise dadurch, daß in der Fahrerkabine ein Schaltpanel mit verschiedenen Behältervolumina angeordnet ist, so daß der Fahrer nur das Volumen der Normbehälter auswählen muß und die Abstände automatisch danach eingestellt werden.In particular, it is advantageous if the distance of side by side arranged on the gripping arm support means is gradually preselected in adaptation to the width of male containers, for example, characterized in that a switch panel with different container volumes is arranged in the driver's cab, so that the driver only the volume the standard container must be selected and the distances are set automatically afterwards.

Wenn alle Tragmittel an einer gemeinsamen, diese abstützenden Schiene des Greifarms angeordnet sind - etwa mit einer die Schiene umgreifenden Klammer -, können sie an dieser Schiene gleichzeitig gehalten und verschieblich sein. Der Zusatzaufwand für die Installation der Verschiebbarkeit ist damit minimiert.If all support means are arranged on a common, this supporting rail of the gripper arm - such as with a rail encompassing the bracket - they can be held on this rail simultaneously and displaced. The additional effort for the installation of the displacement is thus minimized.

Insbesondere können alle Tragmittel an dem Greifarm entlang der Verbindungslinie schwimmend gelagert sind, wobei zur Einstellung ihres Abstands zueinander ein einziger Antrieb, etwa ein Hydraulikzylinder, ein prieumatischer Antrieb, eine Spindel oder ähnliches, ausreichend sein kann.In particular, all support means on the gripping arm along the connecting line are floatingly mounted, to adjust their distance from each other, a single drive, such as a hydraulic cylinder, a prieumatic drive, a spindle or the like may be sufficient.

Sofern als Tragmittel weiterhin Diamond-Keile mit jeweils von einer nach oben weisenden Spitze sich abwärts verbreiternden Abgleitschrägen verwendet werden, müssen in jedem Fall - auch bei einzeln stehenden Behältern - keine höhere Anforderungen als bisher an die Behälterausrichtung gestellt werden.Unless diamond wedges are used, each with an upwardly pointing tip widening downwards Abgleitschrägen as support means, in any case, no higher requirements than before have been placed on the container orientation - even with individual containers.

Eine große Eignung zur Aufnahme verschiedenster Behälter ergibt sich, wenn der Greifarm neben den Diamond-Keilen zumindest einen Abschnitt einer in und außer Eingriffsstellung verlagerbaren Kammleiste als weiteres Tragmittel umfaßt. Mit dieser können dann auch z. B. Großbehälter mit 1,1 Kubikmeter Inhalt entleert werden.A great suitability for receiving a variety of containers results when the gripping arm in addition to the diamond wedges at least a portion of a displaceable in and out of engagement position comb strip as another support means. With this can then z. B. Large containers are emptied with 1.1 cubic meters of content.

Das in Fig. 1 gezeigte Entsorgungsfahrzeug 1 ist als Selbstfahrer ausgebildet. Auch ein gezogenes Fahrzeug kommt in Betracht. Es umfaßt in jedem Fall zumindest einen Greifarm 2, der zur Aufnahme von Behältern 3, 4, 5 dient und diese anheben und - hier über Kopf - einer Entleerung in einen Einfüllbereich 6 des Fahrzeugs 1 zuführen kann. Dem Einfüllbereich 6 kann eine Preßeinrichtung zugeordnet sein, die die eingefüllten Stoffe in beispielsweise einen Wechselbehälter einschiebt und verdichtet.This in Fig. 1 Disposal vehicle 1 shown is designed as a self-propelled. Even a towed vehicle comes into consideration. It comprises in each case at least one gripper arm 2, which serves to receive containers 3, 4, 5 and lift them and - here over head - a draining into a filling area 6 of the vehicle 1 can perform. The filling area 6 may be associated with a pressing device, which inserts the filled substances into, for example, a swap body and compacted.

Die Behälter 3, 4, 5 können etwa zur Entsorgung von einzufüllenden Reststoffen, Wertstoffen, Schutt, Schlacken oder ähnliche Stoffen dienen. Die hier gezeigten Behälter 3 und 4 sind übliche genormte und in Draufsicht im wesentlichen quadratische Haushaltsmülleimer, der Behälter 5 ist ein in Draufsicht rechteckiger 1.1 cbm-Behälter, wie er häufig in Gewerbeeinheiten Verwendung findet.The containers 3, 4, 5 can be used, for example, for the disposal of residues, valuable materials, debris, slags or similar substances to be filled in. The containers 3 and 4 shown here are conventional standard and in plan view substantially square household trash, the container 5 is a rectangular in plan view 1.1 cbm container, as he often finds in commercial use.

Der Greifarm 2 ist um mehrere Gelenke 7, 8, 9 beweglich und umfaßt an seinem ausgreifenden Endbereich 10 zumindest zwei parallel nebeneinander angeordnete Tragteile 11a, die hier als sog. Diamond-Keile ausgebildet sind, bei denen sich von einer nach oben weisenden Spitze 12 aus Abgleitschrägen 13 abwärts verbreiternd erstrecken. Diese Keile 11a sind an einer gemeinsamen horizontalen Tragschiene 14 beweglich gegenüber dieser abgestützt. Hierfür sind die Keile 11a an Profilabschnitten 15 gehalten, die die Schiene 14 übergreifen und rückseitig mit Gleit- oder Wälzkörpern 16, die hinter die Schiene 14 greifen, verbunden sind. Beide Keile 11a sind dadurch an der Schiene 14 schwimmend gelagert.The gripping arm 2 is movable about a plurality of joints 7, 8, 9 and comprises at its outreaching end portion 10 at least two parallel juxtaposed support members 11a, which are designed here as so-called. Diamond wedges, in which extending from an upwardly facing tip 12 Sliding bevels 13 extending downward. These wedges 11a are supported on a common horizontal support rail 14 movable relative to this. For this purpose, the wedges 11 a are held on profile sections 15, which are the Rail 14 overlap and back with sliding or rolling elements 16 which engage behind the rail 14, are connected. Both wedges 11a are thereby floating on the rail 14.

Sie sind zudem parallel zur Schiene 14 entlang einer gedachten Verbindungslinie 17 miteinander über einen Antrieb 18, hier einen Hydraulikzylinder, verbunden. Dieser greift an den Profilabschnitten 15 an, an denen die Keile 11a oder sonstigen parallel nebeneinander angeordneten Tragmittel gehalten sind. Alternativ wäre auch möglich, daß nur ein Keil 11a verschieblich und der Antrieb 18 einseitig fest gelagert ist.They are also connected to the rail 14 along an imaginary connecting line 17 with each other via a drive 18, here a hydraulic cylinder connected. This engages the profile sections 15, on which the wedges 11a or other support means arranged parallel to one another are held. Alternatively, it would also be possible that only one wedge 11a displaceable and the drive 18 is fixedly mounted on one side.

Der Antrieb 18 ist vom Fahrer aus fernbedienbar, insbesondere derart, daß dieser nur den Typ der aufzunehmenden Behälter (z. B. 120 Liter) eingibt und ein Steuerrechner daraus automatisch den passenden Abstand von 490 Millimetern zwischen den Spitzen 12 der Keile 11a ermittelt und das Antriebsorgan 18 entsprechend einstellt. Die Keile 11a können dann, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt, zwei Behälter 3 dieser Größe greifen, ohne sie beim Zentrieren seitlich verlagern zu müssen.The drive 18 is remotely operable by the driver, in particular such that it inputs only the type of container to be picked up (eg 120 liters) and a control computer automatically determines the appropriate distance of 490 millimeters between the tips 12 of the wedges 11a and Drive member 18 sets accordingly. The wedges 11a can then, as in Fig. 3 represented, two containers 3 of this size grab, without having to relocate them laterally during centering.

Sofern, wie in Fig. 4 dargestellt, zwei größere Behälter 4 angehoben werden sollen, kann der Antrieb 18 wiederum vom Fahrer aus auf den größeren Typ der aufzunehmenden Behälter 4 (z. B. 240 Liter) eingestellt werden, wobei dann der Rechner daraus den Abstand von 600 Millimetern zwischen den Spitzen 12 der Keile 11a ermittelt und das Antriebsorgan etwas ausfährt, so daß beide Keile 11a auf der Schiene 14 auswärts verlagert werden. Der Kragen 19 eines Behälters 4 (Fig. 9) kann damit auch hier mittig angesteuert werden, so daß die Behälter 4 ohne Seitwärtsverlagerung angehoben und wieder abgestellt werden können.Unless, as in Fig. 4 4, two larger containers 4 are to be lifted, the drive 18 can in turn be adjusted by the driver to the larger type of container 4 to be accommodated (eg 240 liters), the computer then determining the distance of 600 millimeters between the tips 12 of the wedges 11a determined and the drive member extends slightly, so that both wedges 11a are displaced on the rail 14 away. The collar 19 of a container 4 (FIG. Fig. 9 ) can thus be controlled here in the middle, so that the container 4 can be raised without sideways shifting and turned off again.

Wenn die Behälter 3, 4 nicht, wie in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellt, unmittelbar nebeneinander stehen, kann das Antriebsorgan 18 natürlich auch weiter ausfahren, um einen Zwischenabstand zumindest teilweise überbrücken zu können. Zudem schadet es dann nicht, wenn die Keile 11a nicht mittig in die Ausnehmungen 20 (Fig. 9) der Behälterkragen 19 eingreifen, da der Abstand d3 (z. B. 200 mm) in diesem Fall für eine Zentrierung unproblematisch genutzt werden kann. Es ist in dieser Situation unschädlich, wenn die Behälter 3, 4 in ihrer Absetzposition nicht in der zueinander weit beabstandeten Position landen, wo sie aufgenommen wurden, sondern durch die Zentrierung einige Zentimeter seitlich zueinander versetzt werden.If the containers 3, 4 not, as in the Figures 3 and 4 shown, can stand next to each other, that can Propulsion member 18 of course continue to extend to bridge an intermediate distance at least partially. In addition, it does not hurt if the wedges 11a are not centered in the recesses 20 (FIG. Fig. 9 ) engage the container collar 19, since the distance d3 (eg., 200 mm) in this case can be used without problems for centering. It is harmless in this situation, when the containers 3, 4 do not land in their Absetzposition in the mutually widely spaced position where they were taken, but are offset by the centering a few centimeters laterally to each other.

Um die Flexibilität weiter zu erhöhen, kann (Fig. 5a, Fig. 5b) neben den parallel nebeneinander angeordneten Tragmitteln 11a als weiteres Tragmittel 11 zumindest eine ein- und ausfahrbare Kammleiste 11b zusätzlichan dem Greifarm 2 angeordnet sein, s o daß Behälter 3, 4 auch mit dieser gegriffen werden können (Fig. 5b) und insbesondere auch 1.1 cbm-Großbehälter (Fig. 1) mit der Kammleiste 11b erfaßt und dadurch entleert werden kann. Die Kammleiste 11b ist dabei zwischen der in Fig. 5a gezeigten passiven, eingefahrenen Stellung, in der die Keile 11a in Eingriff gebracht werden können, und der in Fig. 5b gezeigten aktiven Stellung, in der die Kammleiste 11b in Eingriff mit Behältern 3, 4, 5 gebracht werden kann, verlagerbar. Die Schwenkklappe 21 kann sowohl bei Eingriff der Tragmittel 11a als auch der Tragmittel 11b als Widerlager über dem Behälterkragen 19 geschlossen werden.To further increase flexibility, ( Fig. 5a, Fig. 5b ) in addition to the parallel juxtaposed support means 11a as further support means 11 at least one retractable and extendable comb strip 11b nebenan be arranged on the gripping arm 2, so that container 3, 4 can be used with this ( Fig. 5b ) and in particular 1.1 cbm large containers ( Fig. 1 ) can be detected with the comb strip 11b and thereby emptied. The comb strip 11b is between the in Fig. 5a shown passive, retracted position in which the wedges 11a can be engaged, and the in Fig. 5b shown active position in which the comb strip 11b can be brought into engagement with containers 3, 4, 5, displaced. The pivoting flap 21 can be closed both on engagement of the support means 11a and the support means 11b as an abutment on the container collar 19.

Der erfindungsgemäße Greifarm 2 kann modular ausgebildet sein und etwa einen auswechselbaren Endbereich 10 umfassen, so daß je nach Bedarf die passenden Tragmittel 11a, 11b angesetzt werden können.The gripper arm 2 according to the invention may be of modular design and comprise approximately an exchangeable end region 10, so that the appropriate support means 11a, 11b can be attached as required.
