Description

    Field of the invention
  • The invention relates to a vehicle provided with a device for emptying waste containers according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a vehicle is known from US-A-5833429 . The invention provides a vehicle with which waste containers can be emptied and cleaned, after which the collected waste can be dumped or separated, further processed and reused.
  • Background of the invention
  • It is known to collect waste by means of a vehicle provided with a device for emptying waste containers, for instance into a trough, and displacing waste, for instance by means of a pressing device, to a body forming a loading space for the collected waste. The vehicle can be provided with a crane for the purpose of lifting and displacing the waste containers. The emptied waste containers can also be cleaned here, for which purpose the device can comprise a sprayer and/or high-pressure sprayer for spraying cold or hot water.
  • For the purpose of driving the crane and the pressing device and cleaning the waste containers with water the device also comprises technical system components which can be of hydraulic, electrotechnical, pump-related and/or heating-related nature, for instance hydraulic cylinders and conduits, electric motors and electrical cables, a water pump and water conduits, burners for heating water and fans or air pumps for supplying combustion air to the burners, and generally also a control box. Said components are usually placed, at least for the greater part, on the front side of the device because there is no or only very little space available elsewhere for this purpose. Access to the components is hereby generally difficult, and the space between device and driver's cab is also limited. In many cases the device must therefore also be taken off the vehicle for maintenance, repair or testing, wherein hydraulic and electrical connections must usually also be disconnected and work must then take place with loose hoses and cables, which is not very practical, laborious and time-consuming.
  • There is therefore a need for a solution which does not have the stated drawbacks, or at least does so to lesser extent. The present invention now provides this.
  • Summary of the invention
  • The invention provides a vehicle of the type stated in the preamble, characterized in that:
    • the vehicle is provided with a crane for lifting, displacing and lowering the waste containers; that
    • the device further comprises cleaning means for cleaning an emptied waste container; and that
    • the trough narrows by at least 50 cm from its upper side to its underside on a side extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle,
    such that on a side of the device there is space for a chamber, adjacently of said side of the trough and a side of the receiving space connecting thereto, suitable for placing of the technical system components therein.
  • There is thus sufficient space for the technical system components. Furthermore, the components are in this way always readily accessible from the side of the device even when the device is placed on the vehicle.
  • It will be apparent that relative terms such as "upper side", "underside", "front side", "extending in" and "side" relate in all cases to a normal mode of use of the device wherein it is placed on the vehicle, wherein "front" and "rear" relate to respectively the front and rear side of the vehicle.
  • The trough can of course also narrow on the opposite side, wherein the central vertical plane of the receiving space is then offset in the opposite direction. The chamber for placing of technical system components therein is then located on the other side of the device, or the vehicle.
  • Brief description of the drawings
  • The invention is elucidated hereinbelow on the basis of non-limitative exemplary embodiments and accompanying drawings. In the drawings:
    • figure 1 is a first perspective view of a device of the vehicle according to the invention;
    • figure 2 is a second perspective view of the device;
    • figure 3 is a perspective view of the vehicle provided with the device;
    • figure 4 shows a longitudinal section of the device; and
    • figure 5 is a perspective view of a part of this device.
    Exemplary embodiments
  • The figures show a vehicle (2) according to the invention provided with a device (1). Vehicle (2) is provided with a crane (13) for lifting, displacing and lowering waste containers (14). Device (1) comprises a trough (4) for receiving and guiding waste (15) to a receiving space (3), and displacing means, in the shown embodiment a pressing device (6), for displacing waste from the receiving space to a loading space (5).
  • The device (1) comprises cleaning means (18) for cleaning an emptied waste container.
  • The central vertical plane (7) of receiving space (3) in the longitudinal direction of vehicle (2) is offset (V) at least 25 cm, in the shown embodiment 40 cm, relative to the central vertical plane (8) of loading space (5) in the longitudinal direction of vehicle (2). Trough (4) narrows (10) from its upper side to its underside by at least 50 cm, in the shown embodiment by 80 cm, on a side (9) extending in the longitudinal direction of vehicle (2). Space is thus created on a side of device (1) adjacent to said side (9) for a chamber (12) in which technical system components (11) can be placed, among others in the shown embodiment two burners (16) for heating water for cleaning waste containers (14) after emptying, and two fans (17) for supplying combustion air to burners (16).
  • The components (11) are of a hydraulic nature, for instance hydraulic cylinders and conduits, of electrotechnical nature, for instance electric motors and electrical cables, of pump-related nature, for instance a water pump and water conduits, and/or of heating-related nature, for instance burners for heating water, and fans or air pumps for supplying combustion air to burners, and may comprise a control box.
  • The technical system components (11) are always readily accessible from the side of vehicle (2) and device (1), even when device (1) is placed on vehicle (2). It is not necessary during maintenance, repair or testing to take device (1) off vehicle (2) and to also disconnect hydraulic and electrical connections and work with loose hoses and cables, which is much more practical, less laborious and less time-consuming.
  • It will be apparent that the vehicle with the device is not limited to the shown and described exemplary embodiments, but that diverse variants which will be obvious to a skilled person are possible within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
