Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for the examination of garbage collected in a garbage container for metal components, in which the garbage container is scanned before emptying and pickup by a refuse collection vehicle by means of at least one metal probe, according to the preambles of claims 1 and 15.
- garbage container contents are automatically checked by means of metal probes immediately before emptying into a garbage truck for foreign and foreign matter, for example in the case of biowaste and waste paper.
- the known metal probes are usually arranged in the region of a lifting device of the refuse collection vehicle.
- the metal probes used hitherto are not suitable for each lifting device in terms of size and / or weight.
- the object of the present invention is to develop a method and a device which make it possible, when using a small metal probe, to examine the container contents of a refuse container effectively for metal components.
- this object is achieved by a method of type, wherein the refuse container is already scanned during the recording by a lifting device of the refuse collection vehicle to the complete hanging of the refuse container to a container receptacle
- a shortening of the metal probe would normally mean that the container contents to be tested would make up only a fraction of the test volume since then. Of course, such a reduction of the test volume is not desired by municipalities and composting companies.
- a similar test volume can be checked as before. It can be provided that the metal probe moves continuously from bottom to top along the container and at several times a measurement is performed. Alternatively it can be provided that the probe is moved stepwise from bottom to top along the container and a measurement is performed in the intervals between the steps. It may therefore be provided in particular to carry out several time-discrete measurements for each refuse container.
- the scanning is carried out until the trash container has been fully suspended from a container receptacle. As a result, the greatest possible test duration is achieved and a large container volume can be checked. In this case, the metal probe is moved together with the container receptacle for scanning along the refuse container. A separate operation for the scanning of the refuse container can thus be omitted.
- a compensation ie an automatic zero-point correction of the metal probes must take place. This prevents incorrect measured values due to temperature drift or vibrations.
- the compensation can preferably be triggered when lowering the container receptacle by a mechanical, electronic or optical sensor.
- the complete suspension of the container in particular mechanically, electronically or optically detected and terminated the scan with fully hinged container.
- the complete suspension of the container in particular mechanically, electronically or optically detected and terminated the scan with fully hinged container.
- a simple evaluation of the measured values can take place if the measured values recorded by the metal probe, in particular in tabular form, are stored.
- the measured values are sorted by time and there is a time-dependent evaluation of the measured values.
- an optimal measurement time must be found. This means that disturbing influences (eg manhole cover or metal axle of the refuse container) have to be recognized early. These interferences must be filtered out.
- the measurement period must not be too short in order to be able to check the largest possible part of the container. Since there are different speed lifting devices in garbage collection vehicles (both at the rear and on the side or the front) first several measurements per container recording, especially in a table of a computer of a detection system on the garbage truck, stored. These measured values are evaluated after completion of the measurement.
- the optimum number of measured values to be used depends on the speed of the lifting device. Therefore, advantageously, the number of measured values taken into account for the evaluation, as a function of the movement speed of the lifting device, is set.
- the number can be z. B. externally, supported by computer technology, can be influenced. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the pauses between the individual measurements can be set and thereby the resolution of the sampling can be influenced.
- metal probe In order to suppress disturbances of the metal probe by electromagnetic fields of other systems on the vehicle, as well as interference from unwanted eddy currents in the metal parts of the vehicle, on the other hand not disturb foreign systems on the vehicle as possible and to focus the field of view only on the container, the actual metal probe by a enclosed massive aluminum tub.
- the only free opening points to the container and is formed by a non-metallic lid.
- windings coil
- metal probe means both a transmitting / receiving coil arrangement and an arrangement consisting of shielding, coils arranged therein, associated circuit and non-metallic lid.
- an identification system for container identification and, where appropriate, a container weighing system are used on the refuse collection vehicle
- the use of a metal probe can lead to disruptions in the simultaneous use of an identification and optionally weighing system, in particular in the case of a low-frequency electronic identification and possibly weighing system. These are created by the measuring field of the metal probe.
- the measuring field can make the identification and optionally the weighing difficult or even impossible.
- the switching off and on of the measuring field can be effected as a function of a sensor signal.
- the sensor signal for switching off may be the same sensor signal, which signals the complete hanging of the refuse container and thus the end of a series of measurements.
- the scope of the invention also includes a refuse collection vehicle with a device for inspecting garbage collected in garbage containers for metal components, comprising at least one metal probe, wherein the metal probe travels at least in a section along a garbage container to be emptied, in particular continuously or stepwise, from below upwards is movably arranged.
- a refuse collection vehicle with a device for inspecting garbage collected in garbage containers for metal components, comprising at least one metal probe, wherein the metal probe travels at least in a section along a garbage container to be emptied, in particular continuously or stepwise, from below upwards is movably arranged.
- the metal probe is arranged in or on a container receptacle.
- the container receptacle is moved along the refuse container anyway, if this is to be absorbed by the container receptacle. This already performed hub -... can be exploited to simultaneously perform a metal detection.
- a sensor in particular a mechanical, electronic or optical sensor, be provided for detecting the complete hanging of the refuse container to the container receptacle.
- a signal can be emitted, which stops the measurement and shuts off the metal probe. Subsequently, an evaluation of the measured values and an identification of the refuse container can take place.
- An evaluation of the measured values can take place if a computing unit in contact with the metal probe is provided with allocated memory for storing the measured values of the metal probe.
- the arithmetic unit has a sorting device for sorting the measured values and the arithmetic unit comprises an evaluation device.
- An identification of the refuse containers can take place if a reading device is provided for detecting a coding of the refuse container.
- the reading device can be designed, for example, as a bar code reader or as a reading device for an electronic active or passive transponder.
- a refuse collection vehicle 1 which has an opening 2 through which the contents of refuse containers can be emptied into the interior of the refuse collection vehicle 1.
- the refuse collection vehicle 1 has lifting devices 3, 4, on which container receptacles 5, 6 for receiving in Fig. 1 Not shown garbage containers are arranged.
- the container receptacles 5, 6 carry out a movement in the direction of the arrow 7, that is, upwards.
- metal probes 8, 9 are moved from bottom to top.
- the metal probes 8, 9 have approximately the width of a refuse container. This will ensure that scanning across the entire width of the bin can be done.
- the container receptacles 5, 6 are formed as a receiving comb.
- container receptacle forms are conceivable, for example a triangular shape.
- the previously common triangular shape is divided into two parts, the lower, non-positive to the lifting device 3, 4 Part through which metal probe is formed.
- the triangular shape placed on the metal probe can be designed universally so that instead of the metal probe, a load cell or holder can also be used.
- the metal probe 8 is significantly shorter than the height of the refuse container 10.
- the container receptacle 5 is moved in the direction of arrow 7 until the container receptacle 5 under the edge 11th the refuse container 10 passes.
- the metal probe 8 is moved along the refuse container 10.
- metal detection can take place by measuring at several points in time.
- the metal probe 8 is connected to a computing unit 20.
- the measured values of the metal probe 8 are forwarded via the arithmetic unit 20 to a memory 21, where the measured values are stored.
- the measured values stored in the memory device 21 can be sorted, in particular temporally sorted, by a sorting device 22 before or after the storage.
- a sensor 23 As soon as the container receptacle 5 has completely received the refuse container 10, that is, the container receptacle 5 has come into engagement with the edge 11, this is detected by a sensor 23.
- the sensor 23 may be formed, for example, as an electrical or mechanical sensor.
- An evaluation device 24 can then perform an evaluation of the measured values stored in the memory device 21 in the arithmetic unit 20.

- a reading device 25 e.g. an external PC system
- a sensor 27 detects the lowering of the lifting device and outputs a signal that triggers a compensation of influences by temperature and vibration at the metal probe 8.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Untersuchung von in einem Müllbehälter gesammeltem Müll nach Metallbestandteilen, bei dem der Müllbehälter vor der Entleerung und Abholung durch ein Müllsammelfahrzeug mittels mindestens einer Metallsonde abgetastet wird, gemäß den Oberbegriffen der Ansprüche 1 und 15.The invention relates to a method and a device for the examination of garbage collected in a garbage container for metal components, in which the garbage container is scanned before emptying and pickup by a refuse collection vehicle by means of at least one metal probe, according to the preambles of claims 1 and 15.
Immer häufiger werden Müllbehälter-Inhalte unmittelbar vor der Entleerung in ein Müllsammelfahrzeug nach Fremd- und Störstoffen mithilfe von Metallsonden automatisch überprüft, beispielsweise bei Bio- und Altpapiertonnen. Die bekannten Metallsonden sind in der Regel im Bereich einer Hubeinrichtung des Müllsammelfahrzeugs angeordnet. Die bisher eingesetzten Metallsonden sind bezüglich Größe und/oder Gewicht nicht für jede Hubeinrichtung geeignet. Es gibt Hubeinrichtungen, die nur eine geringe Robustheit aufweisen, sodass sie durch das zusätzliche Metallsondengewicht, z. B. an den Lagern, schneller verschleißen.More and more frequently, garbage container contents are automatically checked by means of metal probes immediately before emptying into a garbage truck for foreign and foreign matter, for example in the case of biowaste and waste paper. The known metal probes are usually arranged in the region of a lifting device of the refuse collection vehicle. The metal probes used hitherto are not suitable for each lifting device in terms of size and / or weight. There are lifting devices that have only a low robustness, so that they by the additional metal probe weight, z. B. at the bearings wear faster.
Aus der
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren Art gelöst, wobei der Müllbehälter bereits während der Aufnahme durch eine Hubeinrichtung des Müllsammelfahrzeugs bis zum vollständigen Einhängen des Müllbehälters an einer Behälteraufnahme, abgetastet wirdAccording to the invention, this object is achieved by a method of type, wherein the refuse container is already scanned during the recording by a lifting device of the refuse collection vehicle to the complete hanging of the refuse container to a container receptacle
Durch diese Maßnahme ist es möglich, eine kleinere, insbesondere eine verkürzte Metallsonde zu verwenden. Eine Verkürzung der Metallsonde hätte normalerweise zur Folge, dass der zu prüfende Behälterinhalt nur noch einen Bruchteil des seitherigen Prüfvolumens ausmachen würde. Eine solche Reduzierung des Prüfvolumens ist von den Kommunen und Kompostwerken selbstverständlich nicht erwünscht. Durch das Entlangfahren einer kleineren Metallsonde an einem Behälter kann ein ähnliches Prüfvolumen überprüft werden wie bisher. Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Metallsonde kontinuierlich von unten nach oben entlang dem Behälter bewegt und zu mehreren Zeitpunkten eine Messung durchgeführt wird. Alternativ kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Sonde schrittweise von unten nach oben entlang dem Behälter bewegt und in den Pausen zwischen den Schritten eine Messung durchgeführt wird. Es kann also insbesondere vorgesehen sein, für jeden Müllbehälter mehrere zeitdiskrete Messungen durchzuführen.By this measure, it is possible to use a smaller, in particular a shortened metal probe. A shortening of the metal probe would normally mean that the container contents to be tested would make up only a fraction of the test volume since then. Of course, such a reduction of the test volume is not desired by municipalities and composting companies. By passing a smaller metal probe on a container, a similar test volume can be checked as before. It can be provided that the metal probe moves continuously from bottom to top along the container and at several times a measurement is performed. Alternatively it can be provided that the probe is moved stepwise from bottom to top along the container and a measurement is performed in the intervals between the steps. It may therefore be provided in particular to carry out several time-discrete measurements for each refuse container.
Der Abtastvorgang wird bis zum vollständigen Einhängen des Müllbehälters an einer Behälteraufnahme durchgeführt. Dadurch wird eine größtmögliche Prüfungsdauer erreicht und es kann ein großes Behältervolumen überprüft werden. Dabei wird die Metallsonde zum Abtasten zusammen mit der Behälteraufnahme entlang des Müllbehälters bewegt. Ein separater Arbeitsgang für die Abtastung des Müllbehälters kann somit entfallen.The scanning is carried out until the trash container has been fully suspended from a container receptacle. As a result, the greatest possible test duration is achieved and a large container volume can be checked. In this case, the metal probe is moved together with the container receptacle for scanning along the refuse container. A separate operation for the scanning of the refuse container can thus be omitted.
Bevor der Messvorgang der Metallsonden gestartet werden kann, muss eine Kompensation, d. h. eine automatische Nullpunkt-Korrektur der Metallsonden erfolgen. Dies verhindert falsche Messwerte durch Temperaturdrift oder Erschütterungen. Die Kompensation kann vorzugsweise beim Absenken der Behälteraufnahme durch einen mechanischen, elektronischen oder optischen Sensor ausgelöst werden.Before the measuring process of the metal probes can be started, a compensation, ie an automatic zero-point correction of the metal probes must take place. This prevents incorrect measured values due to temperature drift or vibrations. The compensation can preferably be triggered when lowering the container receptacle by a mechanical, electronic or optical sensor.
Vorzugsweise wird das vollständige Einhängen des Behälters, insbesondere mechanisch, elektronisch oder optisch festgestellt und die Abtastung bei vollständig eingehängtem Behälter beendet. Somit kann erkannt werden, wann eine Messreihe beendet ist und eine anschließende Auswertung erfolgen kann.Preferably, the complete suspension of the container, in particular mechanically, electronically or optically detected and terminated the scan with fully hinged container. Thus, it can be recognized when a measurement series has ended and a subsequent evaluation can take place.
Eine einfache Auswertung der Messwerte kann erfolgen, wenn die von der Metallsonde erfassten Messwerte, insbesondere in tabellarischer Form, gespeichert werden.A simple evaluation of the measured values can take place if the measured values recorded by the metal probe, in particular in tabular form, are stored.
Vorzugsweise werden die Messwerte zeitlich sortiert und es erfolgt eine zeitabhängige Auswertung der Messwerte. Um eine möglichst zuverlässige Metalldetektion sicherzustellen, muss eine optimale Messdauer gefunden werden. Dies bedeutet, dass Störeinflüsse (z. B. Kanaldeckel oder Metallachse des Müllbehälters) frühzeitig erkannt werden müssen. Diese Störeinflüsse müssen ausgefiltert werden. Andererseits darf die Messdauer nicht zu kurz sein, um einen möglichst großen Teil des Behälters überprüfen zu können. Da es unterschiedlich schnell arbeitende Hubeinrichtungen bei Müllsammelfahrzeugen gibt (sowohl am Heck als auch an der Seite oder der Front) werden zunächst mehrere Messwerte pro Behälteraufnahme, insbesondere in einer Tabelle eines Rechners eines Detektionssystems am Müllauto, gespeichert. Diese Messwerte werden nach Beendigung der Messung ausgewertet. Wenn die gespeicherten Messwerte nach der Reihenfolge ihres Eintreffens sortiert sind, kann eine zeitabhängige Auswertung der Messwerte von "jung" nach "alt" erfolgen. Somit können insbesondere Messwerte, die beispielsweise durch Radachsen der Müllbehälter oder Kanaldeckel verfälscht sind, ausgeschlossen werden.Preferably, the measured values are sorted by time and there is a time-dependent evaluation of the measured values. In order to ensure the most reliable metal detection, an optimal measurement time must be found. This means that disturbing influences (eg manhole cover or metal axle of the refuse container) have to be recognized early. These interferences must be filtered out. On the other hand, the measurement period must not be too short in order to be able to check the largest possible part of the container. Since there are different speed lifting devices in garbage collection vehicles (both at the rear and on the side or the front) first several measurements per container recording, especially in a table of a computer of a detection system on the garbage truck, stored. These measured values are evaluated after completion of the measurement. If the stored measured values are sorted according to the order of their arrival, a time-dependent evaluation of the measured values from "young" to done "old". Thus, in particular measured values, which are falsified, for example, by wheel axles of the refuse containers or manhole covers, can be excluded.
Die optimale Anzahl der zu verwendenden Messwerte ist abhängig von der Geschwindigkeit der Hubeinrichtung. Deshalb wird vorteilhafterweise die Anzahl der für die Auswertung berücksichtigten Messwerte, in Abhängigkeit von der Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit der Hubeinrichtung, eingestellt. Die Anzahl kann z. B. extern, unterstützt durch Computertechnik, beeinflusst werden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Pausen zwischen den einzelnen Messungen einstellbar sind und dadurch die Auflösung der Abtastung beeinflusst werden kann.The optimum number of measured values to be used depends on the speed of the lifting device. Therefore, advantageously, the number of measured values taken into account for the evaluation, as a function of the movement speed of the lifting device, is set. The number can be z. B. externally, supported by computer technology, can be influenced. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the pauses between the individual measurements can be set and thereby the resolution of the sampling can be influenced.
Um Störungen der Metallsonde durch elektromagnetische Felder fremder Systeme am Fahrzeug, sowie Störungen durch unerwünschte Wirbelströme in den Metallteilen des Fahrzeugs zu unterdrücken, andererseits fremde Systeme am Fahrzeug möglichst nicht zu stören und das Messfeld nur auf den Behälter zu konzentrieren, wird die eigentliche Metallsonde durch eine massive Aluminiumwanne umschlossen. Die einzige freie Öffnung zeigt zum Behälter und wird durch einen nichtmetallischen Deckel gebildet. In diesem befinden sich die Wicklungen (Spulen), welche das Messfeld erzeugen. Im Sinne der Erfindung wird unter Metallsonde sowohl eine Sende-/Empfangsspulenanordnung als auch eine Anordnung bestehend aus Abschirmung, darin angeordneten Spulen, zugehöriger Schaltung und nicht-metallischem Deckel verstanden.In order to suppress disturbances of the metal probe by electromagnetic fields of other systems on the vehicle, as well as interference from unwanted eddy currents in the metal parts of the vehicle, on the other hand not disturb foreign systems on the vehicle as possible and to focus the field of view only on the container, the actual metal probe by a enclosed massive aluminum tub. The only free opening points to the container and is formed by a non-metallic lid. In this are the windings (coils), which generate the measuring field. For the purposes of the invention, metal probe means both a transmitting / receiving coil arrangement and an arrangement consisting of shielding, coils arranged therein, associated circuit and non-metallic lid.
Insbesondere wenn ein Identifikationssystem zur Behälteridentifikation und gegebenenfalls ein Behälter-Wiegesystem am Müllsammelfahrzeug eingesetzt werden, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn bei vollständig eingehängtem Behälter das Messfeld der Metallsonde abgeschaltet wird. Der Einsatz einer Metallsonde kann beim gleichzeitigen Einsatz eines Identifikations-und gegebenenfalls Wiegesystems, insbesondere bei einem niederfrequenten elektronischen Identifikations- und gegebenenfalls Wiegesystem, zu Störungen führen. Diese entstehen durch das Messfeld der Metallsonde. Das Messfeld kann die Identifikation und gegebenenfalls die Verwiegung erschweren oder sogar unmöglich machen. Durch das Abschalten des Messfelds der Metallsonde nach dem vollständigen Einhängen des Behälters kann dies vermieden werden.In particular, when an identification system for container identification and, where appropriate, a container weighing system are used on the refuse collection vehicle, it is advantageous if, when fully suspended Container the measuring field of the metal probe is switched off. The use of a metal probe can lead to disruptions in the simultaneous use of an identification and optionally weighing system, in particular in the case of a low-frequency electronic identification and possibly weighing system. These are created by the measuring field of the metal probe. The measuring field can make the identification and optionally the weighing difficult or even impossible. By switching off the measuring field of the metal probe after the complete hanging of the container, this can be avoided.
Dabei kann das Aus- und Einschalten des Messfelds in Abhängigkeit von einem Sensorsignal erfolgt. Das Sensorsignal für das Ausschalten kann dabei dasselbe Sensorsignal sein, das das vollständige Einhängen des Müllbehälters und somit das Ende einer Messreihe signalisiert.The switching off and on of the measuring field can be effected as a function of a sensor signal. The sensor signal for switching off may be the same sensor signal, which signals the complete hanging of the refuse container and thus the end of a series of measurements.
In den Rahmen der Erfindung fällt außerdem ein Müllsammelfahrzeug mit einer Vorrichtung zur Untersuchung von in Müllbehältern gesammeltem Müll nach Metallbestandteilen, umfassend zumindest eine Metallsonde, wobei die Metallsonde zumindest in einem Abschnitt entlang eines zu entleerenden Müllbehälters, insbesondere kontinuierlich oder schrittweise, von unten nach oben entlang bewegbar angeordnet ist. Dadurch ist eine Metalldetektion bereits während der Aufnahme des Müllbehälters durch das Müllsammelfahrzeug möglich. Außerdem kann die Metallsonde deutlich kleiner gestaltet werden als dies bislang bekannt und praktikabel ist.The scope of the invention also includes a refuse collection vehicle with a device for inspecting garbage collected in garbage containers for metal components, comprising at least one metal probe, wherein the metal probe travels at least in a section along a garbage container to be emptied, in particular continuously or stepwise, from below upwards is movably arranged. As a result, metal detection is already possible during the reception of the refuse container by the refuse collection vehicle. In addition, the metal probe can be made significantly smaller than heretofore known and practicable.
Die Metallsonde ist in oder an einer Behälteraufnahme angeordnet. Die Behälteraufnahme wird ohnehin entlang des Müllbehälters bewegt, wenn dieser durch die Behälteraufnahme aufgenommen werden soll. Diese ohnehin durchgeführte Hub-... kann ausgenutzt werden, um gleichzeitig eine Metalldetektion durchzuführen.The metal probe is arranged in or on a container receptacle. The container receptacle is moved along the refuse container anyway, if this is to be absorbed by the container receptacle. This already performed hub -... can be exploited to simultaneously perform a metal detection.
Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann ein Sensor, insbesondere ein mechanischer, elektronischer oder optischer Sensor, zur Erfassung des vollständigen Einhängens des Müllbehälters an der Behälteraufnahme vorgesehen sein. Durch diesen Sensor kann ein Signal abgegeben werden, das die Messung beendet und die Metallsonde abschaltet. Anschließend können eine Auswertung der Messwerte und eine Identifikation des Müllbehälters erfolgen.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, a sensor, in particular a mechanical, electronic or optical sensor, be provided for detecting the complete hanging of the refuse container to the container receptacle. Through this sensor, a signal can be emitted, which stops the measurement and shuts off the metal probe. Subsequently, an evaluation of the measured values and an identification of the refuse container can take place.
Eine Auswertung der Messwerte kann erfolgen, wenn eine mit der Metallsonde in Kontakt stehende Recheneinheit mit zugeordnetem Speicher zum Speichern der Messwerte der Metallsonde vorgesehen ist. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es außerdem vorteilhaft, wenn die Recheneinheit eine Sortiereinrichtung zum Sortieren der Messwerte aufweist und die Recheneinheit eine Auswerteeinrichtung umfasst.An evaluation of the measured values can take place if a computing unit in contact with the metal probe is provided with allocated memory for storing the measured values of the metal probe. In this context, it is also advantageous if the arithmetic unit has a sorting device for sorting the measured values and the arithmetic unit comprises an evaluation device.
Eine Identifizierung der Müllbehälter kann erfolgen, wenn eine Leseeinrichtung zur Erfassung einer Codierung des Müllbehälters vorgesehen ist. Die Leseeinrichtung kann beispielsweise als Barcodeleser oder als Leseeinrichtung für einen elektronischen aktiven oder passiven Transponder ausgebildet sein.An identification of the refuse containers can take place if a reading device is provided for detecting a coding of the refuse container. The reading device can be designed, for example, as a bar code reader or as a reading device for an electronic active or passive transponder.
