Definitions

  • the present application relates to refuse collection vehicles that are known as a rear loader, comprising a loading system for discharging waste.
  • Refuse collection vehicles are well known. When used for collection of domestic or commercial waste that is stored in refuse containers of standard dimensions such collection vehicles are typically of a rear loading type. As is known to those of ordinary skill, typically, a rear loader mechanism is provided on the tailgate of a truck having an enclosed body. Refuse is collected at each house or collection site in large containers which in recent times have become wheeled containers. The containers are moved to the rear of the collection vehicle where a lifting mechanism provided at the rear of the vehicle is used to lift the container and dump their contents into a hopper located in the tailgate assembly of the truck. The rear loader mechanism is usually operated by manual controls located adjacent the hopper opening. Periodically, a packing plate is then used to push the hopper contents into one or more silos defined within the volume of the vehicles.
  • each refuse collection vehicle was only used for collecting one type of waste and as such each vehicle had only one silo for retention of the collected waste prior to discharge at a waste discharge facility.
  • MDR mixed dry recycling
  • MMW mixed municipal waste
  • Standard sized larger commercial containers include the 1100 litre commercial bin with 4 wheels which conform with the EN840 standard.
  • this larger container is such that when presented to the hopper of the refuse collection vehicle, it occupies a large proportion of the available presentation width. At present, these 1100 litre collection bins can only be collected separately on a single compartment truck or what is known as a 70/30 divided truck.
  • a 70/30 divided truck there are provided two silos with a divider wall between the two.
  • these trucks are so named as the ratio of size of each silo to the total volume available for waste collection is 70/30.
  • the larger sized volume is used for collection of the expected larger volume waste and the smaller for the lower volume.
  • Each of the two silos have a lifting mechanism that is aligned with that silo such that appropriate lifting of waste by either a first lifter or a second lifter will present the collected waste from a container into either the 70 side silo or the 30 side silo.
  • each collection vehicle uses the double lifter at the rear of the refuse collection vehicle to lift the large refuse container where it is either then retained in the 70 side of the 70:30 vehicle or in a single silo vehicle is stored directly within the available volume.
  • To use dedicated vehicles for each type of waste that is collected from commercial users is not cost effective or efficient.
  • Document SE 519368 C2 discloses a rear loading collection vehicle comprising a first collection silo and a second collection silo in a 50:50 configuration.
  • the vehicle comprises a loading system configured to enable a discharge of waste from an 1100-litre refuse container into each of the first collection silo and the second collection silo.
  • the width of the 1100-litre refuse container is greater than the width of either the openings of the first collection silo or the second collection silo.
  • the loading system comprises:
  • the vehicle also comprises an additional cover plate for avoiding that refuse is fed in the wrong silo.
  • the invention provides a rear loading refuse collection vehicle as detailed in claim 1.
  • the application also provides a method as detailed in respective independent claim 12.
  • the vehicle of the invention comprises inter alia a loading system for a rear-loading refuse collection vehicle having a first collection silo and a second collection silo arranged within a 50:50 split body vehicle is provided.

  • the lifting mechanism is moveable relative to the frame chassis in a direction up-and-down relative to the rear of the refuse collection vehicle and configured to effect a lifting of a refuse container and a dumping of the contents of the refuse container into a respective one of the first collection silo or the second collection silo of the refuse collection vehicle.
  • a divider which is movable to selectively direct refuse dumped into the vehicle into either the first collection silo or the second collection silo of the refuse collection vehicle is provided.
  • an actuating mechanism configured to effect movement of each of the movable frame element and the divider, wherein the actuating mechanism is configured to effect a first loading configuration wherein the divider has a first orientation relative to a first location of the movable frame element relative to the frame chassis to effect a loading of the first collection silo of the refuse collection vehicle and a second loading configuration wherein the divider has a second orientation relative to a second location of the moveable frame element of the frame chassis to effect a loading of the second collection silo of the refuse collection vehicle, wherein the actuating mechanism is configured to effect concurrent movement of each of the divider and the movable frame element to adopt the first loading configuration or the second loading configuration and wherein movement of the divider to adopt each of the first orientation and the second orientation is operably opposite in direction to movement of the movable frame to adopt each of the first location and the second location respectively
  • the movable frame element is movable to adopt a third location relative to the frame chassis, the third location being between the first location and the second location.
  • the actuating mechanism may be configured to effect a third loading configuration, the third loading configuration effecting a movement of the divider to a third orientation coincident with adoption of the third location by the movable frame element.
  • the divider in the third loading configuration may be arranged to adopt a position between each of the first collection silo and the second collection silo that facilitates concurrent collection of waste to each of the first collection silo and the second collection silo of the refuse collection vehicle.
  • the divider is movable relative to the frame chassis to adopt the first orientation or the second orientation.
  • the system comprises a plurality of drive rams, the drive rams being coupled to and providing assisted movement to the divider flap and the movable frame respectively.
  • the drive rams are ideally, but not essentially, in communication with the actuating mechanism such that actuation of the actuating mechanism effects a corresponding movement of a respective drive ram.
  • the drive rams may be electrically or hydraulically actuated.
  • the divider is pivotable relative to the refuse collection vehicle, a pivoting movement of the divider operably allowing a selective loading of each of the first silo, the second silo or the first and second silo concurrently.
  • a sensing module configured to provide a sensing signal confirming movement of the movable frame element to the first location or the second location may be provided.
  • the sensing module is in electronic communication with the actuating mechanism, such that controlled movement of the movable frame to the first location or the second location is effected in response to a single user input to the actuating mechanism.

  • the lifting mechanism may comprise a first lifter and a second lifter, the first and second lifter being arranged to cooperate with one another to provide a double lifter wherein each of the first lifter and the second lifter concurrently lift the same refuse container.
  • Certain arrangements may comprise an electronic reader configured to interrogate a refuse collection container to identify a type of refuse collection container and to automatically effect a movement of the divider and movable frame element in response to the identified type of refuse collection container, wherein the electronic reader is a RFID reader configured to interrogate an RFID tag associated with the refuse collection container.
  • vehicle further comprises a packer plate, the packer plate being operable to move received waste from a hopper of the vehicle into a collection silo, wherein the packer plate is movable under the divider and operably passes under the divider when moving received waste into the collection silo.
  • the invention provides method of loading the rear loading refuse collection vehicle of claim 1, the method comprising:
  • Figures 1 to 12 show a loading system 100 for a rear-loading refuse collection vehicle 110 in accordance with teaching.
  • the vehicle 110 is an otherwise conventional vehicle and comprises a first collection silo 120 and a second collection silo 130.
  • the collection silos 120, 130 are arranged longitudinally within the vehicle and are separated by a dividing wall so as to ensure that waste that is received into the first collection silo does not contaminate waste that is collected in the second collection silo.
  • Such an arrangement for collection silos within a collection vehicle will be known to those of ordinary skill. For example it is known to have a 50:50 collection vehicle where the interior volume is divided into two equally sized collection silos. It is also known to provide a 70:30 collection vehicle where 70% of the collection volume is used for a first collection silo and 30% is used for a second collection silo. The segmentation necessary to achieve these standard configurations will be apparent and does not require further discussion here.
  • a 50:50 split body vehicle is useable to collect the two different waste streams (municipal waste (MMW) and mixed dry recycling (MDR)) at the one time.
  • a loading system 100 comprising a frame 200 mountable to the vehicle, the frame comprising a frame chassis 210 which is fixable to the vehicle and a movable frame element 220 which is operably movable on the frame chassis in a direction transverse to a longitudinal axis of the refuse collection vehicle.
  • the movable frame element is moveable side to side on the rear of the vehicle.
  • a protective shield component 180 that is coupled to the moveable frame element When extended to in its full extension either to the right hand side or the left hand side, a protective shield component 180 that is coupled to the moveable frame element will project beyond the normal side of the vehicle. In such an extended frame configuration, the vehicle should typically be maintained in a stationary position and only moved when the movable frame element is moved back to its central "normal" configuration.
  • a protective shield component 180 on each side of the movable frame component This is desirably fabricated from a resilient and flexible material such as rubber. An example of a suitable material is heavy duty EPA 500-3 conveyor rubber.
  • the shield component is fixed to the outer sides of the truck and to both sides of movable frame element. It folds up and extends naturally once the frame element is shifted from one side of the vehicle to the other and serves to prevent inadvertent access between the side of the vehicle and the moveable frame element.
  • the movable frame element 220 comprises a lifting mechanism 140 configured to effect a lifting of a refuse container 150 and a dumping of the contents of the refuse container into the refuse collection vehicle.
  • the lifting mechanism comprises a first lifter 140A and a second lifter 140B.
  • the first and second lifter are arranged to cooperate with one another, as shown in Figure 3 , to provide a double lifter wherein each of the first lifter and the second lifter concurrently lift the same refuse container 150 and facilitate the dumping of the content of that container into the refuse vehicle.
  • Such a dual lifter is required for large containers 150 such as those having four wheels and a volume of approximately 1100 litres such as shown in the Figures.
  • the width of the entrance area 160 is approximately the same as the width as of the refuse container such that only one container can be lifted and its content deposited into the refuse vehicle at any one time.
  • each of the first lifter and the second lifter are independently operable to allow a concurrent lifting of a first refuse container and a second refuse container and the depositing of their contents into the refuse container.
  • a divider 170 is provided to direct the material from the bin to the appropriate compartment. This divider moves in the opposite direction of the lifter.
  • the divider 170 is movable to selectively direct refuse dumped into the vehicle into either the first collection silo or the second collection silo of the refuse collection vehicle. Therefore and as explained above when the movable frame element is moved to the right side of the truck, the divider 170 moves to the left side. This allows a commercial 1100 Itr bin with waste type A to be tipped into silo compartment # 1. When the movable frame element is moved to the left side of the truck ( figure 6 ), the divider 170 moves to the right side. This allows a commercial 1100 Itr bin with waste type B to be tipped into silo compartment # 2.
  • the system comprises an actuating mechanism configured to effect movement of each of the movable frame element and the divider.
  • the actuating mechanism is configured to effect a first loading configuration wherein the divider has a first orientation relative to a first location of the movable frame element relative to the frame chassis to effect a loading of the first collection silo of the refuse collection vehicle ( Figure 6 ) and a second loading configuration wherein the divider has a second orientation relative to a second location of the moveable frame element of the frame chassis to effect a loading of the second collection silo of the refuse collection vehicle ( Figure 3 ).
  • the actuating mechanism is configured to effect concurrent movement of each of the divider and the movable frame element to adopt the first loading configuration or the second loading configuration.

  • the actuating mechanism can be configured to effect this third loading configuration, the third loading configuration effecting a movement of the divider to a third orientation coincident with adoption of the third location by the movable frame element.
  • Adoption of the third loading configuration facilitates concurrent collection of waste to each of the first collection silo and the second collection silo of the refuse collection vehicle. This will typically be used when the vehicle is used for collecting domestic waste which is presented in smaller collection bins.
  • Equally the third loading configuration centres the movable frame relative to the vehicle and is the normal configuration adopted during movement of the vehicle.
  • the divider 170 is movable relative to the frame chassis to adopt the first orientation or the second orientation or the third orientations. Movement of the divider to adopt each of the first orientation and the second orientation is operably opposite in direction to movement of the movable frame to adopt each of the first location and the second location respectively.
  • the divider is pivotably mounted to the vehicle itself such that it is fixed at one side to a mount 400 of the vehicle and pivots along a line 401-402 relative to that fixed mount. This fixed mount is typically coincident with the end of the divider wall that separates the two silos.
  • the fixed mount is desirably, in this configuration provided within the vehicle such that the free side of the divider (170B) is closer to the end of the vehicle.
  • the length of divider- i.e. the distance between the fixed side and the free side is chosen such that when the movable frame element moves to either the right hand side or the left hand side, the divider 170 extends fully from the silo dividing wall to the mouth of the collection vehicle so as to ensure that any waste that is presented into the collection vehicle cannot inadvertently be passed into the wrong silo.

  • the box section can be fitted in a number of different locations- for example it may be fitted under the frame chassis 210 for further protection.
  • the travel of the rams can be configured to suit the distance which the movable frame element needs to move to be in one of the three positions.
  • the divider can also be moved using the assist of drive rams. These are typically separate to the movable frame element rams but will also desirably include two rams which are arranged to gives its three positions. These divider rams are considerably smaller and have a shorter stroke when compared to the movable frame element rams.
