Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a feeding arrangement according to the preamble of
patent claim 1. - The present invention also relates to a waste-feeding method using said arrangement according to the preamble of
patent claim 9. - The use of top-fed collection containers when emptying waste containers or bins is already known. However, in recent times, problems have arisen when compacting the waste from these containers. Problems particularly arise when the waste contains large cardboard packaging that easily gets jammed in the compacting compartment.
- Solutions such as that in patent publication
US 5,015,144 are already known. Said publication describes a waste collection container where a compactor is arranged to move waste from a compacting compartment to a container. The problem with the solution is as described above. Sticky waste collects on the compactor's pendulum device and eventually results in the compactor becoming blocked. Similar solutions are also shown in patent publicationsCN 104890279 ,EP 2 524 879US 2007/0122258 andNL 7805936 - Using the present invention, the problems afflicting known solutions may essentially be avoided. Thus the invention is to provide an easy-to-handle and operationally reliable feeding arrangement.
- This role is fulfilled in the invention by a feeding arrangement according to the invention being given the characteristics stated in
patent claim 1. Furthermore, this feeding arrangement is used in accordance with a method that, according to the invention, is given the characteristics stated inpatent claim 9. The subsequent, dependent patent claims set out appropriate, further developments and variants of the invention that further improve its functionality. - With the arrangement and method described in the present invention, a plurality of significant advantages are achieved over the prior art. For example, rapid and safe handling of all forms of waste can be ensured. This makes waste collection more predictable and thus contributes to a streamlining of collection logistics.
- Further advantages and details of the invention are set out more closely in the description below.
- In the following, the invention is described more closely with reference to the drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 shows, from the side, a refuse collection vehicle with a compactor arranged next to a collection container for waste. -
Figure 2 schematically shows the function of a compactor that uses prior art technology. -
Figure 3 schematically shows the function of a compactor furnished with a feeding arrangement according to the present invention, the feeding arrangement being in its rest position. -
Figure 4 shows a compactor, according tofigure 3 , with the feeding arrangement in the extended position. -
Figure 5 shows a compactor, according tofigure 3 , with the feeding arrangement at the start of an interaction. -
Figure 6 shows a compactor, according tofigure 3 , with the feeding arrangement at the end of an interaction. -
Figure 7 shows a compactor, according tofigure 3 , with the feeding arrangement on the way to its rest position. -
Figure 8 shows, in a front view, the feeding arrangement in its rest position. -
Figure 9 shows, in a rear view, the feeding arrangement in its extended position. -
Figure 10 shows, from the side, an alternative refuse collection vehicle with a compactor arranged in front of a collection container for waste. -
Figure 11 shows, from the side, a second alternative refuse collection vehicle with a compactor arranged in front of a collection container for waste. -
Figure 12 shows, from the rear, a refuse collection vehicle as perfigure 11 . - The above-mentioned figures are not a to-scale depiction of the feeding arrangement. Their sole purpose is to illustrate the preferred embodiments' construction solutions and the embodiments' function. In this connection, the individual design elements that are each shown and labelled with a reference number in the figures correspond to the design solutions presented in the description given below (in which said elements are also cited with a reference number).
- In the following, the present feeding arrangement and its function are described in use with a top-fed refuse collection vehicle. However, this does not limit use of the feeding arrangement to only this embodiment. The feeding arrangement can be used in various waste handling solutions, mobile and stationary alike.
- Thus,
figure 1 is a schematic depiction of arefuse collection vehicle 1 comprising achassis 2 and a driver'scab 3. The figure also shows acollection container 4 for carrying waste from a collection point to a processing plant. To feed the waste into the collection container, the refuse collection vehicle is furnished with a compactor 5 - seefigure 2 . This compactor has a compacting compartment (6), into which the waste is fed via afeeding aperture 7. - To feed waste into the
collection container 4, therefuse collection vehicle 1 has acrane 8 with which awaste container 9 can be lifted above, and emptied via, the feeding aperture. The waste that drops from said container into the compacting compartment then moves along a track to abottom part 10 of the compacting compartment. - The
compactor 5 also has apendulum device 11 that, with the help of one ormore operating devices 12, executes a pendulum movement to move the waste from the compactingcompartment 6 to thecollection container 4.Figure 2 illustrates the pendulum device's movement more closely. Solid lines show the pendulum device swung, with an anticlockwise movement, to its upper position, this simultaneously freeing the compacting compartment's bottom. In a subsequent swinging movement, the pendulum device is moved clockwise to its lower compacting and rest position. At the same time, it moves the dropped waste, via a compactingaperture 13, from the compacting compartment into the collection container (where the waste is stored). This pendulum movement continues until the waste in the compacting compartment has essentially been moved into the container. - Both the collection container and the compactor are of a conventional design and are thus not described more closely in this context.
- As problems sometimes arise with the waste not dropping as fully and quickly as desired to the
bottom 10 of the compactingcompartment 6, thepresent compactor 5 has been furnished with aspecial feeding arrangement 14. This is shown more closely infigures 8 and 9 . Such a feeding arrangement is advantageously arranged in the compacting compartment so that it is essentially opposite the waste track. The feeding arrangement's design includes aswing arm 15 that is telescopically extendable. This swing arm is arranged so that, in use, it can move back and forth in what is, in use, an essentially vertical plane. In this way, thetip 16 of the swing arm can also adopt a rotational movement in the same vertical plane. To effect this, the swing arm is turned around at least oneshaft 17 that, in use, is essentially horizontal and is arranged perpendicularly to the working direction of thependulum device 11 of thecompactor 5. Seefigures 3 - 7 . - By allowing the
tip 16 of theswing arm 15 to be displaceable relative to saidshaft 17, the tip can be manoeuvred towards the waste track. Here, the tip can be further manoeuvred in a movement back towards theshaft 17 while, at the same time, the tip essentially follows the track. Through this movement, the tip will interact with at least a part of the waste that is still on the track and move it towards the bottom 10 of thecompacting compartment 6. This movement along the track is advantageously executed while thependulum device 11 is in its upper position. To further improve the interaction between the waste and the tip, the latter can be furnished with one or more scraper orshovel devices 18 that can be brought into contact with the waste track - cf.figures 8 and 9 . -
Figures 8 and 9 show an advantageous embodiment of thefeeding arrangement 14. Its swing arm is (e.g. as perfigure 3 ) arranged, via abody 20, on apartition 19 that separates thecollection container 4 and thecompactor 5 from each other. Aprimary arm 21 is arranged to the body so that, via theshaft 17, it can be turned in relation to this body. Asecondary arm 22 is mounted telescopically displaceable to the primary arm, the secondary arm's movement being regulated by an operating device built into the swing arm. Infigure 8 , the swing arm's scraper orshovel devices 18 can be seen on the front of the secondary arm. Here, thetip 16 of the swing arm is furnished with a scraping device that is wider than said tip. The turning of the primary arm is regulated by acontrol device 23, e.g. a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder mounted between the body and the primary arm (well-protected at the primary arm's base). To stabilise the swing arm's movements and prevent waste jamming or collecting between the partition and the swing arm, the swing arm is advantageously furnished with anangle stay 24 mounted between the body and the primary arm. - The
present compactor 5, with afeeding arrangement 14 mounted therein, works in the following way (cf.figures 3 - 7 ). The feeding arrangement is arranged on apartition 19 that separates thecollection container 4 and thecompactor 5. Said arrangement is thus in thecompacting compartment 6, essentially opposite the track for the waste that drops into the compacting compartment. The feeding arrangement's swing arm can move back and forth in a plane that, in use, is essentially vertical. Thereby, thetip 16 of the swing arm can also adopt a rotational movement in the same vertical plane, said rotation being executed around an essentially horizontal axis arranged perpendicularly to the working direction of the pendulum device. - When waste is emptied from a
container 9 into thecompacting compartment 6, it drops towards the bottom 10 - seefigure 3 . To free the compactingaperture 13, thependulum device 11 is manoeuvred anticlockwise to its upper position. From its upper position, the pendulum device is swung clockwise towards the compacting aperture so as to compact the waste and move it into the collection container 4 - seefigures 4 to 7 . - While the
pendulum device 11 is moved to its upper position, the feeding arrangement's secondary arm is displaced to its outermost position and the swing arm takes up its furthest position with itstip 16 maximally extended away from the shaft 17 - seefigure 4 . Simultaneously with the pendulum device being moved to its uppermost position, the swing arm is manoeuvred rotationally around theshaft 17 to take up, while the pendulum device is reaching its uppermost position, a position next to the track - seefigure 5 . While the pendulum device is in this uppermost position, thesecondary arm 22 drags. This results in thetip 16 of the swing arm, and any scraper orshovel devices 18, being displaced along the track to here interact with at least a part of the waste that is still on the track and move it towards the bottom 10 of the compacting compartment 6 - seefigure 6 . When the secondary arm reaches its bottom position, the swing arm is turned free from the track (seefigure 7 ) to return to its rest position (as perfigure 3 ). The pendulum device can now execute its next compaction cycle. The interaction between the feeding arrangement and the pendulum device continues until the waste has essentially been moved into the collection container. - The description above and the figures cited therein are solely intended to give an overview of the present solution for the design of a feeding arrangement. Thus, the solution is not limited solely to the embodiment described above or in the attached patent claims. Indeed, within the idea described in the attached patent claims, several variations or alternative embodiments are possible.
- Thus, the
refuse collection vehicle 1 could, for example, be furnished with acompactor 5 located between the driver'scab 3 and the collection container (as perfigure 10 ). Like the embodiment that is described above and infigures 3 - 7 , this compactor has acompacting compartment 6 into which the waste is fed via afeeding aperture 7. - To feed waste into the
collection container 4, this alternativerefuse collection vehicle 1 has a liftingfork 25 with which awaste container 9 can be lifted above, and emptied via, the feedingaperture 7. The waste that drops from said container into the compacting compartment then moves along a track to abottom part 10 of the compacting compartment. - In a second alternative embodiment the
refuse collection vehicle 1 is furnished with acompactor 5 between the driver'scab 3 and the collection container (as perfigure 11 ). Like the embodiments that are described above and infigures 3 - 7 , this compactor has acompacting compartment 6 into which, via afeeding aperture 7, the waste is fed (as perfigure 12 ). - To feed waste into the
collection container 4, this alternativerefuse collection vehicle 1 has a liftingarm 26 with which awaste container 9 can be lifted above, and emptied via, the feeding aperture. The waste that drops from said container into the compacting compartment then moves along a track to abottom part 10 of the compacting compartment. - Like the preferred embodiment described above, the
compactor 5 in these alternative solutions also has apendulum device 11 that, with the help of one ormore operating devices 12, executes a pendulum movement to move the waste from thecompacting compartment 6 to thecollection container 4. These solutions are also furnished with thespecial feeding arrangement 14. This latter is shown more closely infigures 8 and 9 and its function is described with references tofigures 3 - 7 .
