Abstract
The present invention relates to a dustbin hoist arrangement (6) used in a refuse collection vehicle (1). Such a dustbin hoist (6) comprises a dustbin holder (7), regulated with a lifting mechanism (8). The dustbin holder comprising a frame (9) and a comb (10) fitted thereto and being provided with protruding gripping units (11). The innovative dustbin hoist (6) also features at least one widening unit (13), which can be manoeuvred between a transport position beside the frame of the dustbin holder and a lifting position in a vertical place defined by the comb and the gripping units thereof. This widening unit comprises secondary gripping units (16) that are arranged, in the widening unit's lifting position, to be in line with the comb's (10) gripping units (11).
Description
- The present invention pertains to a dustbin hoist in a refuse collection vehicle, in particular a side-loading refuse collection vehicle, according to the preamble in
patent claim 1. - With increased environmental awareness and a more versatile collection of household waste the task is subject to new requirements. One of the problems encountered in this new situation, is increased variation in the size of vessels to be handled during collection.
- The current dustbin hoists assume that both small and large vessels are balanced in a dustbin hoist dimensioned to handle the dustbin with the narrowest construction. The load on both the dustbin hoists and the dustbin is therefore substantial, which may lead to damage in either or both. Alternatively, it is conceivable that different dustbins could be emptied with different dustbin hoists in different positions around the collection container of the refuse collection vehicle. Apart from the fact that a solution with several dustbin hoists would be expensive, it is also work-intensive to coordinate the mutual positions of the refuse collection vehicle and the dustbins.
- With the present invention, the problems with which prior art solutions are associated can be substantially avoided. The task of the invention is to provide a simple and easy-to-use dustbin hoist arrangement, which offers considerable reliability and durability.
- This task is solved in accordance with the invention by way of a dustbin hoist arrangement according to the invention given the characteristics specified in the
patent claim 1. The subsequent dependent patent claims specify suitable developments and variants, respectively, of the invention, which further improve its function. - With the arrangement described in the present invention, several significant advantages are achieved in relation to prior art. Thus, it is possible to handle dustbins of various sizes more flexibly.
- Since it is foldable, the mechanism according to the present invention only takes up the smallest space possible and thereby it does not affect any other construction of the refuse collection vehicle. Therefore, it is even possible to fit the arrangement on existing dustbin hoists in active operation.
- A dustbin hoist according to the present invention also facilitates collection and gripping of dustbins in narrow spaces with the dustbin hoist's widening units in their transport position.
- Additional advantages and details in the invention are set out in more detail in the description below.
- The invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawing, where
-
figure 1 shows a refuse collection vehicle and a dustbin, -
figure 2 shows the dustbin on the way to be lifted towards the refuse collection vehicle's emptying container, -
figure 3 shows the dustbin emptied in the refuse collection vehicle's emptying container, -

Herewith, the respective constructive parts displayed in the figures and marked with reference numbers correspond to the construction solutions presented in the description below and also simultaneously specified with a reference number.
-
Figures 1 and 2 show a schematic illustration of arefuse collection vehicle 1, comprising a not-displayed chassis and adriver cabin 2. The figure also shows a part of thecollection container 3, in which the refuse is transported from the collection place to a treatment facility. The collection container may be divided into one or several chambers with partition walls. The collection container also has anfeed opening 4 in which the contents of adustbin 5 to be emptied is tipped. - In order to feed the emptied refuse in the
collection container 3 therefuse collection vehicle 1 is equipped with at least one compactor. The collection container is equipped with an emptying container, for each of the chambers in the collection container. Each of the collection container, the emptying container and the compactor have a conventional structure, and for this reason they are not described in more detail in this context. - To supply the
collection container 3 with refuse, therefuse collection vehicle 1 is provided with adustbin hoist 6 with whichdustbins 5 can be tipped in the emptying container. Such a dustbin hoist comprises adustbin holder 7 advantageously connected to the refuse collection vehicle's collection container. See for examplefigures 2 and3 . - As illustrated in
figures 2 ,3 and 4 , thedustbin hoist 6 is arranged next to therefuse collection vehicle 1. The dustbin hoist can thus be moved outwards in the vehicle's side directions as well as away from the vehicle through a lifting mechanism 8 provided by the dustbin hoist, the lifting mechanism being arranged between therefuse collection vehicle 1 and thedustbin holder 7. - The
dustbin holder 7 herewith comprises aframe 9 on which acomb 10 is fitted. The comb will lie in a substantially vertical position in the refuse collection vehicle's operational position. The comb is equipped withgripping units 11 protruding therefrom in a substantially vertical direction. With these gripping units, the dustbin holder is arranged to interact with lifting fittings provided by thedustbin 5 brought next to therefuse collection vehicle 1. When the gripping units have been manoeuvred in the lifting fittings, the dustbin may be lifted and/or swayed with the lifting mechanism in relation to thecollection container 3 in a substantially vertical direction and subsequently emptied in the respective emptying container. Herewith, the lifting mechanism is manoeuvred with at least one shiftingdevice 12, which may comprise a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder, for example. - To be able to handle different sizes of
dustbins 5 thepresent dustbin hoist 6 is provided with at least one wideningunit 13, advantageously articulately mounted to thedustbin holder 7 via at least one joint arranged in between. In one embodiment according tofigure 5 , the dustbin holder features twojoints 14 and 15 arranged above each other. To these joints, the wideningunit 13 is fitted so that it is rotatable between a transport position next to the frame of the dustbin holder and a lifting position in a vertical plane substantially defined by the comb and its gripping units. The transport position and the lifting position are displayed for example atfigure 5 andfigure 8 , respectively. The widening unit comprisessecondary gripping units 16, which in the lifting position of the widening unit will be in line with thegripping units 11 of the comb. - As illustrated by
figures 8 and 9 , for example, thedustbin holder 7 may be equipped with two wideningunits 13 that are articulately fitted thereto, one on each side of thecomb 10. Thus, the second wideningunit 13 is articulately fitted to thedustbin holder 7 via twojoints 17nd 18 arranged above each other. -
Figures 6 and8 show that the widening units are manoeuvred between their respective transport- and lifting positions, with at least one shiftingdevice 12, which may consist of a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder, for example. - The above description and the figures referred to therein are only intended to illustrate the present solution for the construction of a dustbin hoist arrangement. Thus, the solution is not limited only to the above embodiment or those described in the enclosed patent claims, but numerous variations or alternative embodiments are possible within the idea described in the enclosed patent claims.
