EP2085330A1 - Waste disposal vehicle with at least a storage container and a loading device - Google Patents

Abstract

The vehicle has a supply device (3) for over-head discharging of a waste container (2) or for accommodating a sack, a cardboard or bulk goods. A pipe for the accommodated goods is formed in a direction of a receiving container, and a movable guiding flap (22) is attached to a side filled by the supply device. Goods collected by the supply device are collected with motion components assigned with a container interior space. The guiding flap is pivotable around a horizontal vehicle axis (23), and forms a closure of the container in an intermediate position, where the vehicle is self-propelled.

Description

The invention relates to a disposal vehicle with a receptacle and a feed device for substances in this container according to the preamble of claim 1.

In the collection of household waste, industrial waste, residues that have passed through a recycling plant, slags or other aggregates or similar provided in solid containers or bags materials as well as loose bulky bulky waste disposal vehicles is increasingly in demand for efficiency disposal, where the possibility It is necessary to be able to transport the ingested substances over a long distance, with the least possible personnel and time, for example to a landfill or incinerator.

For this it would be a hindrance to travel with the disposal vehicles long distances to the landfill or incinerator, as these vehicles during the long transfer journey for their actual function failed and also incurred by the high staffing of vehicles high costs.

There are therefore disposal vehicles with exchangeable receptacles known in which a rear part with a feed device for the aforementioned substances can be folded down and placed on the ground, to then remove the receptacle located further forward and to be able to transport separately from the collection vehicle. In this case, however, possibly still located in the rear part wastes or the like scattered during storage on the floor. In addition, the sealing of the interchangeable container at the interface to the rear part is difficult because on the one hand the opening of the container for effective conveying - especially in a rear loader and waiving a separate plunger, as in a side loader - should be large, this opening on the other hand, however, also tight must be closed, especially if a transport of filled swap bodies is provided via water.

The invention is based on the problem to provide an improvement at the interface between the receptacle and the feed device.

The invention solves this problem by a disposal vehicle having the features of claim 1 and a receptacle having the features of claim 15. With regard to advantageous embodiments, reference is made to the further claims 2 to 14.

With the invention, a disposal vehicle is provided which, despite its possible design as a rear loader, on the one hand, have no end face of the receiving container which is open over its surface must, on the other hand, but also does not require from the outside in a small partial opening promoting plunger.

As a result of the inventive allocation of a movable guide flap, the receptacle can be separated together with this guide flap from the feed device, for example a rear part, and thus transported separately.

Insofar as the material can be conveyed from the guide flap with an upward force component into the container and can be compressed against an upper wall of the receiving container, a front movable shield in the receptacle can be dispensed with. This is then available over its entire length to Gutaufnahme. In addition, the weight of the receptacle without the dozer blade is significantly reduced.

Particularly easy can be pivoted about the horizontal axis of the vehicle for the above-mentioned introduction and compression of the guide flap, thereby enabling the upward component of the promotion and compression during conveying. The pivot axis can pass through in the region of a container end face and thereby not adversely affect the outer dimensions of the receptacle.

Furthermore, it is particularly favorable for a swap body when the guide flap not only forms a conveying member, but in a double function in an intermediate position, a closure of the receptacle.

In this case, advantageously, the guide flap can be substantially flush with an end-side outer wall of the receptacle and in particular be fixable by a closable from the outside fuse. This backup can easily be done by one of include externally plug-in pin, which is held captive even in its non-required position outside of the vehicle.

Further, it is favorable for always running in the same way without tilting functional sequence when the deflector is in the promotional sense only up to a stop limit movable, in particular the stop limit laterally outside the interior of the receptacle - and thus outside of a conveyed Gutstroms - located. A risk that the attacks dirty and thus can not be used in the desired manner, is thus prevented.

If from the baffle in the container interior, a trajectory can be painted, emanating from a water edge in the container interior, the movement path can serve as a lower boundary of an inlet channel and be cleared by the movement of the guide flap thoroughly. The sweeping of the longitudinal segment of a segment-shaped path of movement can be very dense, so that there thorough cleaning of the inlet channel is guaranteed at all times. In addition, the front end of this trajectory of a high water edge, for example 500 or 600 mm, be formed, which also reliably prevents a return of particular liquid.

The baffle may cooperate with a conventionally shaped press plate of the feeder. A thorough and delay-free forwarding of the absorbed by the feeder Guts arises here, if the press plate, a lower case space of the recorded Guts, for example, in the tail section is combed and the press plate at the end of this movement in its raised and angled standing position of the guide flap in dense Distance is paintable. This is a simultaneous clearing of the press plate and a promotion allows the Guts in the receptacle by only one pivotal movement of the guide flap.

Further, it is particularly advantageous if a hydraulic drive for pivoting the guide flap is arranged on the outside of the feed device and releasably connectable with an abutment for acting on the guide flap. Due to the outside position of the at least one drive this is free of contamination by the recorded Good. By the solubility of the drive, a movement may be made possible in which the supply device from the receptacle detachable and so rearward displaced that in this position, the receptacle is removable from the vehicle and replaced by another, so that an advantageous collective transport of receptacles independently Can take place from the vehicle.

In particular, the receptacle is formed free of an inner plow blade, so that the container interior can be formed in the closed position of the guide flap over its entire volume as a receiving space for conveyed Good. This significantly increases the transport volume. At the same time, the weight of the vehicle is lowered by dispensing with the plow blade and its drive.

In a swap body despite the changeability of the receptacle, the feed device is particularly advantageous parallel to the vehicle in a release position displaced so that it maintains its distance from the ground and their orientation in the release position in which the receptacle is removable from the vehicle. Due to the parallel displacement, the feed device is released from the receptacle. Thus, even when returning to the functional position a full Realigned by several axes and thus the tightness of the system to the container can be significantly improved. This tightness is particularly important because the individual transport of the receptacle whose the feed device facing side forms an open outside. Dirt on this side can then be released during single transport, for example over water, and should therefore be avoided. By dispensing with a downward pivoting of the feeding device also their weight is not shifted so far backward. The need for counterweights is thereby reduced, so that the vehicle weight can be lowered overall.

Since the supply device maintains its orientation even in the release position and thus the torque is reduced by a vehicle transverse axis compared to a pivoting, the supply device can remain supported both in functional position and in the release position exclusively on the vehicle side, without needing their own support against the ground. This means further weight savings.

Next can be particularly advantageous by moving the feeding device into its functional position of the receptacle from this into a lock in slidably, d. h., That also the receptacle, which also retains its initial orientation for removal, by pulling the feeder - without a separate drive - is moved longitudinally and thereby automatically reach the vehicle-side front mandrels in captive and aligning engagement with the receptacle. Further alignment measures for the receptacle are then not required.

Such a receptacle with its own baffle is claimed here in addition to himself.

Further advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from partially illustrated in the drawings and described below embodiments of the subject invention.

This in Fig. 1 Disposal vehicle 1 shown is designed as a self-propelled. Even a towed vehicle as a trailer or semitrailer comes into consideration. In any case, it comprises at least one receptacle 2 for residues or recyclables, for example household waste, Industrial waste, residual materials that have passed through a recycling plant, paper, slag or other aggregates or similar materials provided in solid containers or bags as well as for loose bulky bulky goods.

Furthermore, the vehicle 1 comprises at least one feeding device 3 for these substances, the feeding device 3 being designed for emptying refuse containers or for receiving sacks, cartons or bulky goods and for forwarding the picked goods in the direction of the receiving container 2. The good is inventively taken over by a movable, container-side guide flap 22 of the receptacle 2 and transported by this through an end-side inlet channel 15 into the receptacle.

According to the drawing, a rear loader is provided as the vehicle 1, so that the feed device 3 is surrounded by a rear part 4. It is in a functional position for good intake and supply of the absorbed Guts in the receptacle 2 directly or indirectly to this, such. In FIG. 1 and Fig. 2 is shown. The rear part 4 is locked to the receptacle 2 and / or the vehicle chassis, as described in more detail below.

In order to provide the receptacle 2 as a swap body and remove from the vehicle chassis and thereby be able to transport separately, after unlocking the rear part 4 with the feeding device 3 along the vehicle 1 - here opposite to the direction of travel F - parallel displaceable in a release position. In this case, no pivoting of the rear part 4 is required, but this is in accordance with the transition to Fig. 4 purely translationally displaced parallel to longitudinal members of the chassis'. The shift is typically over a few tens of centimeters to about a meter.

In this release position, the receptacle 2 is removable from the vehicle (1) ( Fig. 5 ), for example, upwards, laterally or in a combination movement heraushebbar. For this purpose, for example, a crane or a laterally approaching forklift can be used which engages under the swap body 2. Advantageously, at the upper and / or lower corners - or in oblique position of a rear wall near the corners - container fittings may be provided on the receptacles 2, so that they are movable with the transport units usual for container transport and are stackable in each other securable. In particular, standard dimensions can be provided as in conventional containers.

A foreign support of the feeding device 3, for example by storage or support against the ground, is required neither in functional position nor in the release position or any intermediate position. In these positions and during the displacement in between, rather, the feeding device is supported on the vehicle chassis exclusively on the vehicle side. By eliminating downshifting, the rearward shift of weight is minimized. As a result, no or only low front counterweights must be provided. The vehicle weight can be significantly reduced compared to the prior art.

• anderen Aufnahmebehälter 2 des gleichen Typs. Damit ist dann das Fahrzeug 1 sofort wieder einsatzbereit, während der Weitertransport des befüllten Aufnahmebehälters 2 durchgeführt werden kann, etwa auch in einem wenig personalaufwendigen Sammeltransport per Schiff.

In the release position of the feed device 3 is not only a removal of - in particular filled - receptacle 2 is possible, but also its replacement against - in particular empty

• other receptacle 2 of the same type. Thus, then the vehicle 1 is immediately ready for use again, while the further transport of the filled receptacle 2 can be performed, such as in a little labor-intensive collective transport by ship.

In order to enable a rapid change of the receptacle 2 and a good seal with the then approaching feeder 3, by the movement of the feeder 3 forward back into the functional position of the receptacle 2 of the supply device 3 in a front latch 5, formed here by two vehicle-side, side and rear facing mandrels, which engage in pockets of the receptacle 2, be slidable into it. Thus takes place solely by pushing the container 2 through the rear part 4 with the feeding device 3, a first centering of the attached receptacle 2 instead.

In order to achieve a reliable sealing of the rear part 4 against the newly placed receptacle 2, 4 at least one centering device is provided at the interface between these parts 2, 4, by aligning each of the feeders 3 to the receptacle 2 each of their transverse sides 7 individually can be acted upon. Thus, not only a correct longitudinal and transverse alignment of the rear part 4 is achieved, but this is possibly also about a longitudinal axis 8, which is parallel to the direction of travel F, pivoted so far that it is always in the same orientation with respect to this axis 8 against the Receptacle 2 is pushed.

The centering device 6 comprises two upper, in the transverse direction and ausschiebbare ausschiebbare conically shaped mandrels for connecting receptacle 2 and feeding device 3. The mandrels are inserted in the closed position in a transverse sleeve 13 on a frame portal 14 of the receptacle 2. By this insertion of both mandrels in the transverse sleeves 13 on the one hand, the rear part 4 with the feeding device 3 is pivotally aligned about the longitudinal axis 8, on the other hand, it is in the vehicle longitudinal direction in the final closed position to the Receiving container 2 used, so that a filling shaft 15 circumferential seal undergoes a defined pressure through the rear part 4 and always the same sealing of the transition from receptacle 2 and rear part 4 is reached. It is important that not only the gap in the longitudinal direction between the parts 2 and 4 has a reproducible size, but also the alignment of the rear part 4 takes place about the axis 8 for the defined compression of the seal.

In addition to the above-described upper locking elements through the mandrels, lower locking elements are additionally provided as further parts of the centering device with which the rear part 4 on the receptacle 2 or the vehicle chassis can be secured. Here are in the bottom region of the rear part 4 on its front frame further mandrels arranged, which are pushed out transversely and engage in complementary recesses 13 on the rear frame 14 of the receptacle 2. In addition, lateral clamping screws 17 are provided here, in Fig. 1 on the one hand in its releasing, to the transverse axis 20 fallen down position (there provided with parenthesized reference numeral) and in its closed position, in which they engage behind an abutment of the receptacle 2 and thereby align the rear part 4 in the longitudinal direction and secure. These clamping screws 17 are manually operated and can be closed only with the correct orientation of the rear part 4 relative to the receptacle 2. At the same time, manual operation forms a check of the correct and sealing alignment.

A good handling and sealing of the receptacle 2 with low weight is made possible in particular by the fact that this at its fillable side - here rear side - a feed hopper 15 associated with it and forward with a component upwardly compressing baffle 22 (in detail in Fig. 9 shown). This is movable about a pivot axis 23 and forms in addition to a conveying and compression function ( Fig. 7 ) in a Rest position (see eg. Fig. 8 ) a rear-side container closure of the feed tube 15 from. This can additionally by an externally aufzusetzendes sealing plate 16 (FIG. Fig. 12 ) are manually sealed. The sealing plate 16 can be laterally protected in the functional position of the rear part 4 and simply removed from the outside to be held on the receptacle 2.

In order to secure the rest position of the guide flap 22 occluding the filling shaft 15, a fixation can take place by means of a lock which can be closed from the outside, for example a manually insertable pin 24, into a lateral pivoting arm 23 held firmly against the guide flap and causing its movement. The bolt 24 may be held captive on the vehicle 1 in the releasing position. The container 2 closing rest position of the guide flap 22 provides an intermediate position between their in Fig. 6 shown extreme positions of the movement about the pivot axis 23.

In the rear extreme position ( Fig. 7 ) Gutzuführung take place in that a pivotable press plate 25 first combs through the lower portion of the rear part 4, while swiveling forward and pulled in a known manner from a support plate 34 obliquely upward.

In the rear extreme position ( Fig. 7 ) Gutzuführung done by the pivotable press plate 25 of the rear part 4 by the manner in the manner of a dozer blade, the guide flap 22 sweeps in its forward pivoting about the axis 23 of the support plate 34 raised and tilted forward press plate 25 and thereby clears. The guide flap 22 can cooperate in this movement from the rear extreme position out to Guteinförderung in the receptacle 2 in a forcibly tuned timing with the rear press plate 25 ( Fig. 6 ). This first goes through the lower one Area of the rear part 4, it pivots about its transverse axis to the front and is pulled in a known manner by a support plate 34 obliquely upward. Then the Gutdurchleitung by the inlet channel 15 as described by the fact that the guide flap 22, which is during this movement in its rear extremal position, like a dozer blade in its forward pivoting about the axis 23 of the carrier plate 34 raised and swung forward pressing plate 25 sweeps, thereby clears and the recorded material through the channel 15 into the receptacle 2 promotes. By this process, the so-called press plate 25 itself has no pressing function, but serves only as a lifting and feeding blade for the promotional and compressive baffle 22. This cooperates with the press plate in a forced sequence control, so that a malfunction is excluded.

The inlet channel 15 in this case comprises a semi-circular in the side view lower boundary track 35. By pivoting the guide flap 22 from the rear to the front extreme position ( Fig. 6 ) the cleared material is conveyed through the filling shaft 15 into the receptacle 2. The lower boundary track 35 terminates at the front on a high water edge 36, for example of 500 or 600 millimeters in height, which prevents a return into the feed tube 15.

During its forward movement, the guide flap 22 compresses the material forward and upwards against an upper wall 26 of the receiving container 2 (schematically by the hatched flow of material in FIG Fig. 7 shown). This can be available in full length and width for the male good. A protruding into the interior and the front end wall 27 associated shield against which would have to be worked, is completely unnecessary. As a result, the vehicle length can be reduced or with the same vehicle length, a higher recording volume can be created. Because of not anymore required movement mechanism for such a shield, which was previously arranged in front of the container, the container can also continue to move forward to the driver's cab and thus cause a shift of emphasis forward. This also contributes to the dispensability of the front counterweights. The waiver of the said parts also causes a weight savings and a gain in space, so that with the same vehicle size more space for male good is available.

For moving, pivoting here, the guide flap 22, lateral hydraulic drives 28 are provided, which are arranged on the outside of the vehicle - and thus outside the burden of the flow of material. These actuators 28 engage in functional position on the likewise outer levers of the pivot arms 29 and are detachable from them. For this purpose, quick releases 30 are provided in the transition from Fig. 2 to Fig. 3 are solved manually. The hydraulic cylinder 28 are then stored with their piston rod ends on side brackets 31 and movable rearwardly with the rear part 4.

The return transfer to functional position after changing the receptacle 2 is carried out automatically by ejecting the drives 28 and engaging in the quick release 30th

For supplying the hydraulic drives 28 and centering devices 6, a flexible movable duct 37 is provided which can compensate for the distance difference between the rear part 4 and the chassis. Towards the front, the receptacle can be emptied by a laterally and / or upwardly swingable door.

With the invention, conventional rear parts can be provided with only minimal effort for use in interchangeable containers according to the invention. The changes relate primarily on the laterally outer drive members 28. In particular, a conventional support plate 34 and a conventional press plate 25 continue to find use.

In particular, by the promotional and compacting function of the guide flap 22, a front plow blade in the receptacle 2 dispensable, which is associated with considerable space gain and weight savings. Nevertheless, the receptacle forms a self-sufficient unit that requires no externally mounted press for compaction, such as a punch on the side loader. In particular, the additional closure function of the guide flap 22 also contributes to self-sufficient mobility.
