Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of packaging mechanisms, more specifically to the field of garbage packaging devices.
  • the invention relates to a packaging machine located inside the body of a garbage truck or in separate containers, comprising a conveyor belt that is attached to a press plate.
  • the garbage To fit as much garbage as possible into the packager of the garbage truck, the garbage must be pushed away from the inlet and compressed. Press plates that extend to varying lengths to compress the garbage in the packager are used; this allows for tighter packaging of the garbage and helps push out the garbage during the emptying phase.
  • Canadian Patent Application No. CA2533768 discloses the body of a garbage truck, wherein the body comprises a reversible parallel-moving garbage packager which compresses the garbage and extends to the outlet in order to push the garbage out.
  • German Patent Application No. DE4318560 discloses a rear loading garbage truck, wherein the body comprises a presser that moves from wall to wall.
  • German Utility Model No. DE20217320 discloses a garbage truck, wherein the press plate for compressing the garbage is located behind the cabin, and it rotates around a horizontal axis.
  • EP0577540 discloses a garbage truck, wherein the body comprises a garbage press that works only when the garbage loading has ended.
  • EP0405345 discloses a telescopic press plate inside the body of a garbage truck, wherein said press plate works by periodically packaging the garbage against the rear wall of the garbage truck's body.
  • a garbage truck with a FAUN SIDEPRESS C240 side loader was disclosed at the Environmental Trade Fair IFAT (2008).
  • the packaging mechanism of the FAUN SIDEPRESS C240 uses a packager with a press plate, wherein the press plate is connected with plates at the upper edge to prevent garbage from getting behind the press plate.
  • the packager does not extend far enough in the body to push out the garbage without tilting the body of the truck, and some of the garbage is left uncompressed as well.
  • the plates connected to the presser take up a lot of space in the body of the truck.
  • the invention provides a conveyor belt-based packaging mechanism for use in the body of side or front loading garbage trucks or in separate containers.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide a packaging mechanism that extends as far as possible inside the body of a garbage truck or a container without getting the garbage lodged behind the press.
  • the packaging mechanism can be used for economically packaging all types of household waste as compactly as possible.
  • the packaging mechanism comprises a press plate which is connected to the free edge of the conveyor belt, which is wound onto a drum, at the upper edge.
  • the conveyor belt covers the part behind the press plate so that the garbage stays on the conveyor belt and does not get lodged behind the press plate when in operation.
  • the conveyor belt is wound onto a rotatory drum and extends to the end of the body of the garbage truck or container along with the press plate - this allows the garbage to be packaged inside the body or container in its full length and pushed out without having to tilt the body of the garbage truck or the container.
  • the invention provides a garbage packaging machine for use in primarily side or front loading garbage trucks or separate stationary press containers.
  • Figures 1 to 4 show the preferred embodiment for use in a garbage truck.
  • the invention consists of a press plate 1, a conveyor belt 2, a drum 3, and push or telescopic cylinders 4.
  • the packaging machines comprises a traditional horizontally moving vertical press plate 1 with one or two push or telescopic cylinders 4, and a horizontally moving conveyor belt 2 which is connected to the upper edge of the press plate on one side and to a rotating drum 3 on the other side; the conveyor belt 2 is wound onto the drum 3.
  • the drum 3 is covered with a plate or separated by a wall 5, as shown in Figure 2 , to prevent the garbage 6 from getting lodged in between the conveyor belt 2 and drum 3.
  • the exit slit of the conveyor belt 2 is equipped with a seal-cleaner 7, as shown in Figure 2 , to prevent the garbage 6 from getting lodged in between the drum 3 and conveyor belt 2.
  • the seal-cleaner 7 is made of plastic or polyurethane which is gently pushed against the conveyor belt 2 if necessary.
  • the telescopic cylinders 4 has a double function: it is used to move the press plate 1 inside the body 8 of the garbage truck or the separate garbage container to compress or push out the garbage as well as return the press plate 1 to its original position.
  • the press plate 1 which is connected to the conveyor belt 2, moves along the bottom of the body of the garbage truck or separate container on a sliding surface.
  • the conveyor belt 2 is wound onto the drum 3 and the length of the belt 2 is determined by the length of the body 8 or garbage container so that the conveyor belt 2 reaches the end of the body 8 or garbage container when it is unwound.
  • the wound up conveyor belt 2 does not take up much space in the body 8 of the garbage truck or separate garbage container.
  • the extension of the press plate 1 is increased by unwinding the conveyor belt 2.
  • the conveyor belt 2 is made of reinforced rubber or PVC. Because the press plate 1 is positioned quite low in case of side loaders, the purpose of the belt 2 is to prevent garbage from falling behind the press plate 1 during compression.
  • the conveyor belt 2 covers the area behind the press plate 1 so that the garbage will not fall behind the press plate 2. Thus, it is also possible to load garbage 6 into the garbage truck when the press plate 1 is operational.
  • the bold dashed line in Figure 2 shows the extension of the conveyor belt 2 when the press plate 1 is operational; the bold line shows the position of the conveyor belt 2 when the press plate 1 is in its original position.
  • the width of the press plate 1 is determined by the internal width of the body 8 of the garbage truck or separate garbage container, and the lower edge of the press plate 1 runs against the bottom of the body of the garbage truck or separate garbage container.
  • the press plate 1 is flat and rectangular; in a more preferred embodiment of the invention, the press plate 1 is rectangular and has a zigzag profile (as shown in Figure 2 ).
  • the gap between the wall of the body 8 of the garbage truck or separate container and the press plate 1 is 5 to 10 mm.
  • the press plate 1 is made of metal, and in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the press plate 1 is made of steel.
  • the press plate 1 moves on sliding surfaces along the bottom and side walls of the body 8 of the garbage truck or separate garbage container.
  • sliders are provided on the edges of the press plate 1 (not shown in the figures) and guiding surfaces are provided on the sides of the body at the height of the upper edge of the press plate (not shown on the figures).
  • the sliders are made of plastic. There are four sliders in total: two at the top and two at the bottom.
  • the press plate 1 moves on rollers or wheels at the bottom of the body 8.
  • Garbage can be compressed throughout the length of the body 8, as shown in Figure 2 (position C) - as a result, a higher degree of compression and a larger quantity of collected garbage 6 is achieved.
  • the garbage can only be compressed with the press plate 1 until it moves into position B, as shown in Figure 2 , and when the press plate 1 moves to the end of the body 8, into position D, as shown in Figure 4 , the body 8 of the garbage truck or a separate container can be emptied of the garbage 6 by the press plate 1.
  • the drum 3 of the conveyor belt 2 is equipped with a hydraulic motor.
  • telescopic cylinders with unidirectional actuation are used, which means that the press plate 1 is pulled back by the conveyor belt 2.
  • traditional hydraulic cylinders can also be used in garbage trucks with a tilting body, e.g. single-stage hydraulic cylinders that can make the press plate 1 reach halfway to the end of the body 8, and package the garbage accordingly.
  • Garbage 6 is emptied from a garbage container using lifting equipment or, in case of smaller separate containers, by hand into the body 8 of the garbage truck where it falls to the bottom of the body in front of the press plate 1. If the press plate 1 is not in position A (as shown in Figure 3 ) during the garbage emptying, but further away in positions B and C, then the garbage will fall onto the conveyor belt 2. After the press plate 1 returns to position A, the garbage 6 will fall in front of the press plate 1, as shown in Figure 1 .
  • FIG. 1 there is a reversible partition wall 9 in the body 8, as shown in Figures 3 to 5 , so that bigger objects would not get stuck between the partition wall 9 and the press plate 1.
  • the dashed line in figures shows the movement of the partition wall 9 when pushing the garbage with the press plate 1; the continuous line shows represents the partition wall 9 when standing still.
  • the press plate 1 which is actuated with telescopic cylinders 4, extends to the end of the body 8 when in use, as shown in Figure 4 (position D). In this case, it is possible to empty out the body 8 by pushing out the garbage 6 with the press plate 1, which means that there is no need to tilt the body 8 of the garbage truck for emptying it. If necessary, the press plate 1 can move back and forth several times during the emptying phase until all of the garbage 6 has been pushed out of the body 8.
  • a press plate 1 with hydraulic cylinders may be used.
  • the garbage 6 is packaged only to position B, as shown in Figure 3 .
  • the body 8 of the garbage truck is emptied by tilting, as shown in Figure 5 .
