Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Garbage collection vehicle The invention is arranged behind the operating station, in particular behind the driver's cab of a motor vehicle. The present invention relates to a type of waste collection vehicle including a collection container. Collection container can be released from the vehicle preferably with a filling opening located in the upper region and an opening for emptying. and at least one wall portion that can be released. Types of waste collection to which the invention relates The vehicle also has means for compacting the waste filling the collection container.

A waste collection vehicle of the above type was developed by George Earl Dempster. Dempster R., U.S. Pat. No. 3,202.305. Ku A collection container is connected to a collection container from the ground of the vehicle ahead of the driver's seat. It is picked up by the rotating arm. Then, make sure the waste container is high above the driver's seat. The waste container is rotated and placed in the filling opening of the collection container located behind the driver's cab. It can be emptied by turning it over. This is known as an "overhead loader" A significant defect in these vehicles is that the waste container must be rotated to open the filling opening at the top of the collection container. During operation, the normal clearance profile of such vehicles is considerably exceeded.

As used here, the term "gap profile" refers to the most Means the height of the vehicle at its highest point.

Additionally, Georg Schaffler's U.S. Patent 4 ．． 096.959, the receiving hopper was connected to the driver's cab, vehicle and release. A waste collection vehicle is disclosed that is located on a chassis between a collection container. Kuzuyo Place the waste container into this receiving hopper using an overhead loader. It is emptied by a pair of rotating arms that flip it over. Then, the scraps were shoveled. from the receiving hopper to the filling opening in the top of the collection container. collection It is not possible to compact the waste inside the container, so optimal loading cannot be achieved. overhead lo Apart from the above-mentioned defect in the driver, this vehicle also has a The placement of the loading hopper may significantly reduce the volume available for the collection container. There is another flaw.

Barbie C. Partridge U.S. Pat. No. 3,643,824 discloses that a receiving hopper is located between the cab and the collection container. A waste collection vehicle is located where this collection container is fixed to the chassis but can be tilted. Both are disclosed. The receiver is put in and the potsupah is manually removed from the ground using a small waste container. It can be loaded manually or by suitable charging equipment. Then, put the receiver in the pot. The waste placed in the par is placed by the pusher in the bottom area of the front wall of the collection container. is pushed into the collection container through the opened opening and is packed substantially tightly.

I can't open a large trash container.

Summary of the invention The object of the invention is to take advantage of the advantages known to overhead loaders, namely that the operator The above system takes advantage of the fact that it can be operated from the driver's cab with hand-to-eye contact. Empty small volume waste containers, such as household metal waste bins, while avoiding system defects. It is an object of the present invention to provide a waste collection vehicle of the above type, which can be used to collect waste.

This, according to the invention, includes at least one intermediate container in the front area of the driver's cab. This is accomplished by arranging it to receive waste from a waste container.

This intermediate container is equipped with a reservoir for emptying the contents of the intermediate container into the filling opening at the top of the collection container. It communicates with the steps. The intermediate container has its filling opening and a separate discharge opening.

At least during the emptying process, the discharge opening of the intermediate container is in communication with the filling opening of the collection container. There is.

According to another advantageous feature of the invention, the discharge opening of the intermediate container and/or the collection container The filling opening is closable. In this way, the intermediate container is removed except for the opening mentioned above. It can have a closed profile. Place such an intermediate container in the area in front of the driver's cab. By placing the space behind the driver's cab, virtually its entire length is the largest possible size. It has the advantage that it can be used to accommodate collection containers that can be used in various ways. present invention The term "forward area" in the sense of This includes the space in front of the table.

Another advantage of the vehicle according to the invention compared to conventional waste collection vehicles is that its weight distribution is even better. This is because it is necessary to operate waste bins and intermediate bins. This is because the weight of the essential components is absorbed by the front axle of the vehicle. Therefore, the rear car The area of the shaft is maximized to accommodate the load imposed by the filled collection container. Available up to a range. This further improves the load distribution.

Another advantage of the waste collection vehicle formed according to the invention is that the intermediate container is located at the top of the collection container. with a compaction device such as a pusher. , an optimal filling of the collection container is possible. Filling from the top is due to over compaction. This is particularly important. Because the intermediate container accepts the filling opening of the collection container The amount of scraps that have been removed is pushed together against the opposite end walls and packed tightly under the ceiling of the container. This is because it will be done. The compaction device is configured to cover substantially the entire container cross section. Preferably.

Sufficient space for maneuvering the vehicle must always be available in the direction of movement. , such that sufficient space is provided for operating the waste container and that the driver and operator Eye contact can be easily established between commercial crew members. For example, once the worker is on top of the vehicle Once up, you can give a signal to proceed to the next pick-up station.

The waste collection vehicle according to the invention has special advantages because it is based on a mass-produced chassis. It is designed so that it can be configured in any way. Garbage collection vehicles leave small gaps above the ground. It can also be configured as a special vehicle with a so-called drop frame design. Wear. This makes it possible to avoid a low cab and/or a low chassis. This allows for relatively large heights without exceeding the maximum permissible height during clearance. are available for intermediate containers and collection containers. This allows a large amount of capacity to be utilized. become able to.

According to a preferred feature of the invention, the intermediate container handles the waste container to be emptied into it. The device is in communication with at least one device in the reservoir. The shape of the intermediate container and/or Depending on the arrangement, the device for manipulating the waste container may be a conventional rotatable waste container. container holder mechanisms, in which case they have a volume between 50 and 240 liters. For the operation of household metal waste bins and/or with a capacity of 1 to 2 m3 Also used for handling large containers. Theoretically, the intermediate container can be formed as an open container. However, it may require a closable filling opening that can be opened by a holder mechanism, for example. It is advisable to have a closed structure with a mouth. Only a single intermediate container is provided. If the Both containers can be emptied at the same time.

The intermediate container can be subdivided into at least two container parts, with each volume The vessel part has an associated discharge opening fj. This allows the present invention to similarly 84) The sorted waste is then placed inside for subsequent transfer to the collection container. It can be drained into an intermediate container. Place each container part of the intermediate container into a metal waste container. It can be coupled with its own holder mechanism.

It is also possible to provide separate intermediate containers for -m-); Embodiments with evacuation devices for are particularly advantageous. In this case (-1 answer intermediate container has its own associated displacement device and can be moved independently of other intermediate containers. I can do it.

If the collection container is subdivided, at least some of the container parts should be separated from each other. Can be releasably coupled. This includes, for example, one of the collected waste loads. : Household waste that forms the essential ingredients is used as a support body for the releasable container part. It has the advantage of being able to be dumped into a large basic container. Or is it? In addition, special scraps can be separately dropped into the container section and divided into 19 parts. for example , large hospitals or far-flung processing facilities with just one waste removal transfer. can be used against At that time, the part of the container containing the special waste shall not be reloaded in any way. can be separated from ordinary waste without the need for The glass is paper. If it has been suitably presorted and made available, it can be used as household waste. They can also be transported in a selective manner. Where an intermediate container is provided If this is the case, suitable control features of the displacement device according to the invention allow the intermediate container to be removed directly from it. , can be moved toward the individual container portion of the collection container into which it is emptied. Wear.

Furthermore, according to a preferred feature of the invention, the discharge opening of the intermediate container and/or the collection The filling opening of the container has at least one opening in each other when the intermediate container is emptied. An extension is provided that projects into the opening. This applies in particular to intermediate containers and collection containers. The invention is advantageous for waste collection vehicles that can be separated from each other. Because a suitable sheet A hole is provided between two associated openings to allow debris to escape to the outside. Because I can't. Additionally, by such extensions entering each other opening , the transition area can be sealed.

As an advantageous feature of the invention, it is further provided that the collection container has a at least one wall portion of the container is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the container and is displaceable; It communicates with an action mechanism (preferably hydraulically actuated) acting on the part. wall part The part may be the container wall, but it is a suppressor plate or button that is in contact with the container wall. You can also do that. It is best to attach the pusher to the end of the collection container facing the driver's cab. It's advantageous. This is because the working mechanism for the pusher can be placed on the vehicle and the hydraulic Components do not need to be placed in a collection container to be tightly packed with waste, reducing capacity. This is because considerable weight savings can be obtained for the vessel. Therefore, the entire hydraulic system can be fixed and attached to the vehicle. Form the collection container so that it can be released. If the releasable coupling is a displaceable wall portion of the collection container (or nested hydraulic units). During operation, action The cut provides the mf forward and return motion necessary for compaction via a releasable joint. . In addition, it involves relatively small waste collection vehicles that can move through narrow street streets. There are advantages that can be used. Especially for this use, the arrangement of the intermediate container and Filling the intermediate container via the filling opening in the lateral area of the vehicle has its good operability Therefore, it is advantageous. Then, remove the filled collection container until it is still in its assigned location. can be placed by a waste collection vehicle while in a cleared area, and empty a new container. By accepting waste containers as replacements, waste collection vehicles and their operating crews can You only need to move the range. Then, the filled collection container contains several such Other facilities that allow collection containers to be transported by road or by rail to more distant depots Can be transported by vehicle. It is important that no reloading of waste is necessary . On the contrary, full collection containers are only cent-downed in one location. and then picked up again for further transport. their size Depending on the A trailer filled with collection containers can be used.

Advantageously, the collection container is provided with an extendable ground support. This allows you to collect Conventional use operably equipped with so-called exchangeable bodies for the aforementioned transport of containers A truck chassis can be used.

Both full and empty collection containers designed for pure road traffic Can be transported by vehicle.

For example, when waste is being driven to a waste incineration system, a full collection container is It can now be placed on a tilting device, emptied and then transported again by a transport vehicle. can be picked up.

In one embodiment of the waste collection vehicle according to the invention, the intermediate container is arranged above the driver's cab. and a rotatable holder machine for operating the waste container or dumping device. constructed as a structure and equipped with a lifting or lifting mechanism for the waste receptacle to be emptied. and such lifting mechanism then extends to the bottom area in front of the driver's cab. . This arrangement has the advantage that an intermediate container of relatively large capacity can be used. There is.

By providing two or more such dumping devices, several waste bins can be made independent. and can be operated simultaneously. When the intermediate container can be approached from the front , to ensure that the slope of the waste container caused by the drop does not substantially exceed the gap contour. You can do it like this. The driver's field of vision is unobstructed during operation. above the driver's seat The arrangement of the intermediate container allows the driver to have a second seating bench for the working crew. The platform can be used for relatively long transfers between stops, e.g. In residential areas, the crew may enter the vehicle from the front, i.e. within the driver's field of vision. can.

Another feature of the invention is that the intermediate container above the driver's cab is located in a forward position along the guide. It may be movable back and forth from the collection container to the vacated position. This arrangement is In particular, if the collection container and/or intermediate container is divided into several parts It is advantageous. The intermediate container is then directly adjacent to the associated filling quantity "1" of the collecting container. can be created. The guide is arranged so that one part of the guide is located "second" from the driver's cab. one part of the guide is fixed to the chassis and the other part of the guide is formed to be fixed to the collection container. can. This advantage also applies when two independently movable intermediate containers are used. exist.

Another preferred embodiment of the waste collection vehicle according to the invention provides a A displacement device moves the intermediate container beyond the driver's cab onto or near the ground in front of the driver's cab. the vehicle and move the collection container from the full filling position to the emptying position of the intermediate container. connected. This arrangement requires, among other things, that the dimensions of the intermediate container span almost the entire width of the vehicle. Extends across and almost the length of the cab, allowing for a large intermediate volume There is an advantage that a container can be used. In the filling position, place this intermediate container into a waste bag. It can also be filled manually using a small waste container. However, the intermediate container Conventional waste containers can also be emptied using an associated suitable holder mechanism. child A special advantage is that you do little work to empty the waste container into the collection container. This is not necessary, so that the waste container can be emptied more quickly. Intermediate container by displacement device The hoistway connected to this can be brought closer to the ground, so the hoistway connected to it can be shortened. This simplifies the design of the holder mechanism. As soon as the intermediate container is completely filled It can also be raised to the height of the roof of the driver's cab using a displacement device.

The intermediate container is then moved to the filling opening of the collection container behind the driver's cab and there It can be vacated using that vacating method. Make sure the intermediate container is still in its empty position. However, the waste collection vehicle can proceed to the next pick-up location. Then, the middle The container can be returned to its pick-up position near the ground by means of a displacement device. intermediate volume In an arrangement where the containers can be moved independently of each other, each intermediate container has an associated It has a positioning device.

A displacement device for the intermediate container is located in front of the driver's cab for a virtually vertical upward movement. a lifting mechanism arranged in a substantially horizontal (and preferably and a drive for longitudinal) movement. This arrangement requires The movement of the intervening vessel has only a substantially vertical upward component and a substantially horizontal in-plane motion component. It has the advantage of being composed of The large pivot arm of the prior art overhead loader and is significantly different and exceeds the defined gap contour at any time during the movement of the intermediate container. do not have. This allows for covered entrances, under overhead tram contact lines or under trees. He is able to perform all his functions without any hindrance. For example, the elevating mechanism This carriage can be moved by a lifting drive or by moving an intermediate container horizontally. The driver's cab is lifted by a suitably placed pivot lever that raises it only to the level of the plane of motion. It can be moved vertically up and down in front. In this regard, the basics of carriage Provide a carriage guide for target movement, and take into account the minimum clearance with the ground. It is also advisable to perform the final movement while lowering the container to the ground area by means of a pivoting lever. It is. Movements in the horizontal plane center the intermediate container on its vertical axis above the driver's cab. It may be a pivoting motion that causes the user to move directly to the vacated position. If necessary, The intermediate container can be pushed after rotation or extended into the area of the filling opening of the collection container. The intermediate container can be moved following the upward movement by a horizontal pushing movement along the guide. I can do it.

Another advantageous feature of the invention is that the intermediate container is moved along the guide to the empty position of the collection container. Drive means are provided for moving it to and back again. An intermediate container is recommended for this arrangement. Despite its relative mobility along the interior, the intermediate container is It has the advantage that it can be fixed in the direction of movement of the vehicle and remains connected to the collection vehicle. . The drive means may be, for example, a horizontally acting hydraulic cylinder, a rotating endless chino, or Alternatively, it may have a driven carriage for receiving an intermediate container. The bottom of the intermediate container is , can be guided while resting on a guide, or can be connected to an intermediate container via a suitable connection means. can be suspended from the guide on its upper side or on its side.

A particularly advantageous configuration of the arrangement with an open intermediate container is such that the intermediate container is in the raised position. The pressure plate can be displaced along a horizontal guide to close the opening of the intermediate vessel when It is. This includes, for example, loading the intermediate container with bulky waste or waste bags. If the intermediate container is closed due to the horizontal movement following the upward movement and is therefore bulky. It is said that the part protruding from the waste or waste bag cannot interfere with its movement. There are some advantages. A pressure plate carries the intermediate container by means of a releasable connection and is therefore actuated. Pressure is applied to form a carriage in communication with dynamic “means, e.g. a hydraulic cylinder. You can place the board.

Unheard of:-! I! η [Σri features a lock on the IT opening 11 of the intermediate container. d-, +iJ-capable lid can be provided. The means of action for opening the lock is , located on the guide in the area of the emptying position in the filling opening of the collection container. intermediate container If the container is subdivided into several container parts, each container part has an associated collection container. Provide a suitable lid that can only be opened with a continuous filling opening.

The discharge opening of the intermediate container may be located at its rear end; An ejection device movable towards the mouth is provided in the intermediate container as a means for emptying 7 . This shape of the intermediate container allows the intermediate container to be fixedly placed in one unit rather than one in operation. or an intermediate container that is movable by a displacement device.

Depending on the shape of the intermediate container, the ejector may be partially packed with waste into the intermediate container. It can also be used to hold. Then the ejection device ejects the debris to empty Push through the opening into the filling opening in the -L region of the collection container. Ejection device in the sense of the invention with a movable push plate and rolling or scraper floor of the intermediate container. It may also be a so-called push rod floor. Important factors in this regard The amount of debris falling into the intermediate container is moved towards its discharge opening. That is.

An alternative to this is a secondary arrangement of the discharge opening at the bottom of the intermediate container.

In this arrangement, an intermediate container is present in close proximity to -F of the filling opening in the ceiling of the collection container. There is the advantage that the displacement device can bring the intermediate container into position. The lid is After being released, the debris can fall directly from the intermediate container into the collection container. This arrangement Particularly useful for intermediate containers subdivided into container parts and/or for subdivided collection containers. It is advantageous.

This is because the intermediate container must be placed above the collecting container until it reaches the associated filling opening. This is because it can be moved to Apply a suitable sealing means to the lower edge of the intermediate container. and/or placed on the edge of the filling opening of the collection container, e.g. in the form of a continuous rubber bead. By doing so, a good seal can be obtained.

A further advantageous feature of the invention provides that the evacuation device can be mounted on a supporting frame connected to the vehicle chassis. can be placed in the frame. The support frame carries and transports the lifting mechanism at the front. The area above the turntable carries the guide and drive means for the intermediate container. to this arrangement The displacement device is said to form its own closed system releasably connected to the vehicle. There are some advantages. Therefore, after the displacement device has been removed, the vehicle cannot be used for other transport purposes. can also be used.

According to a preferred feature of the invention, at one end of the support frame, preferably in front of the driver's cab. The ends are supported on the chassis at at least two forward fastening points. At the other end, preferably At least preferably a support frame is provided at the end located behind the driver's cab. or supported by one rear fastening point located in the longitudinal center iV plane of the vehicle. Ru. The support frame is inherently rigid and this arrangement prevents chassis distortion during operation. The support frame can be fastened in such a way that rotation can occur without adverse effects. child Another advantage of the placement is that the supporting frame is easily accessible in front of the chassis end. can be fastened to the area and the supporting frame is customary for connecting additional assemblies. It is said that it will be formed into a special track.

Preferably, the rear fastening point is formed by a joint with at least two degrees of freedom. Delicious. For example, the fitting may be a universal joint, a ball joint, or a flexible rubber joint. stomach.

Another feature of the invention provides that the rear fastening points are releasable, allowing the support frame to Can be mounted for rotation about a horizontal axis at its forward fastening point . According to this arrangement, the drive motor is partially located inside the driver's cabin and the driver's cab is A so-called forward control vehicle that can be pivoted forward for repair purposes. It can be used as a collection vehicle. If engine repair is required, the driver's cab can be rotated. The engine can be repaired by rotating the support frame forward so that the

The support frame has a controllable rotary drive, preferably at least one hydraulic series. It is especially advisable to have a In this way, the support frame can be moved completely forward. In addition, the driving platform can be tilted. Additionally, the supporting frame Rotating the container just a small amount is enough to change the You can use free space. This assumes the collection container fill opening is at the top and the filling opening of the vehicle-mounted collection container when the support frame is lowered. The additional advantage is that it is tightly sealed against the outside of the support frame in the area of the transfer point. It becomes a point. In this regard, the support frame is releasably coupled to the chassis. It's a good idea.

Another advantageous feature of the invention provides that at least the area extending above the driver's cab is In the area, the support frame has an inlet opening for the intermediate container and a filling opening for the collection container. It has a guide enclosed on all sides except for the connectable transfer opening. This arrangement includes Once the upward movement is completed, the intermediate container appears encapsulated to the outside. It has the advantage of being guided over that horizontal path. Virtually no dust towards the outside There is an unattended seal, especially in the position where the filling opening of the collection container leaves space for an intermediate container. It is sealed, so that the intermediate container can be emptied without adversely affecting the environment.

According to another advantageous feature of the invention, the cover can be placed on the guide, and then The cover covers the space in front of the driver's cab between the guide and the opening container at its full height above the ground. At least partially surrounded by The length of this cover accommodates the upward movement of the intermediate container It is variable as follows. This includes, for intermediate containers open at the top, The advantage is that the waste container can be emptied while the waste container is virtually shielded from the outside world. be.

The front area of the cover is such that the waste container cannot be moved by the retention device during dropping. but preferably formed as a strip curtain or similar. Delicious. The strip curtain is attached to the guide by a hoisting device, so Its length can be shortened in response to the F-raising motion. The lateral and rear areas of the cover It can also be formed by a rollable curtain. however, a tongue which encloses the lateral and rear areas in a tightly sealed manner and has an approximately C-shaped cross section; It is preferable to use a At that time, look up the free opening oriented in front of C. It can be closed with the strip curtain shown below.

An advantageous additional feature allows the top edge of the cover to be shaped like a carriage along the guide. is fastened to a pressure plate which can be moved back and forth, and its lower end is fastened to an intermediate container.

This arrangement requires that the cover be attached only to the movable component and that the pressure plate be attached to the intermediate volume. This has the advantage that the vessel can be carried stationary through the guide.

Another feature of the invention allows the intermediate container to be exchangeably connected to the displacement device.

In this arrangement, such intermediate containers may be used, for example, for special types of waste or bulky items. It has the advantage that it can be used as a large volume waste container for waste materials.

The waste collection vehicle simply picks up the unloaded intermediate bin and empties it into the vehicle's collection bin. , and then lower it back to the pick-up position.

According to another feature of the invention, the displacement device can be used as a grinding device or a and/or a pressing device. With this arrangement, the waste collection vehicle according to the present invention Both can be used to pick up bulky waste. Therefore, the releasable collection capacity The advantages of waste collection vehicles with containers can be used to advantage for collecting bulky waste. You can also.

Another feature of the invention is that the intermediate container is moved substantially horizontally over the driver's cab. According to the arrangement of the intermediate container, which cooperates with the displacement device, which can operate the waste container the device in the form of a controllable pick-up and emptying device located in the area in front of the driver's cab; It can be provided in Such equipment is similar to that used in industrial manufacturing. Although it can be configured in the form of a so-called robot arm, it is difficult to operate a waste collection vehicle. You can simplify your work. This is because all functions are controlled by the vehicle driver. This is especially true because the second worker can control these movements so that they do not overlap. Ru.

It is moved back and forth across the area by the action mechanism 9 to keep the area clean.

In the embodiments of Figures 1.2.3.4 and 5, the collection container (e.g. No. 2A) has a closing flap in its filling opening (e.g. reference numeral 118 in FIG. 1). (not shown), this closure flap ensures that the collection container is removed from the vehicle when filling is complete. As soon as it is released from both sides, it will be tightly closed.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is subdivided into two parts 33 and 33' by a partition 64. 2F, which is provided with two filling openings on its upper side. It is. The guide 65 has a rear part 58, for example in the form of a rail, which Tightly connect the collection container 2F so that the collection container 2F can be releasably connected to the chassis 1 has been done. Alternatively, the collection container could be formed according to Figure 3 (all i.e., so that the intermediate container 12F can be moved through the opening into the collection container).

The walls at both ends of the collection container 12F can be opened by rotating the respective walls 4. I can do it. The container portion 33 can be filled tightly with the butcher 30. and fill the container portion 33' tightly with the butcher 30'. Can be done. A pusher connected to the partition 64 by a hydraulic cylinder (not shown) The bins 30 and 30' are filled with tightly packed waste after their respective walls 4 are opened. It can also be used to push out. In the collection container 2F, waste that has been sorted in advance is Can be collected in a single vehicle. Of course, collection containers can be partitioned in a variety of different ways. Can be done. If there are two or more horizontal partitions, place the collection container on each side wall. can be opened through the opening. Also, the collection container can be partitioned in the direction of the first child. can. In this case, the intermediate container must be provided with an appropriately associated discharge opening. No. If the partition is longitudinal, the collection container can be divided into several parallel independent It can be emptied by a guideable pusher and its filling is tightly packed. It will be done. The container portion may form a closed unit as shown. child Alternatively, the container parts may be connected to the chassis 1 in such a way that they can be released individually. Can be formed as separate containers. Here, each container part is its own The body can be equipped with a pusher, and the pusher's hydraulic cylinder can be plugged into the If necessary, it can be connected to the vehicle's hydraulic supply.

FIG. 12 is a schematic plan view of such a longitudinally segmented collection container and Figure 13 is a cross-sectional view thereof, and this collection container is identified using the reference numeral 2G. . Each of the container portions are identified herein as buttons 66, 67 and 68. Each press device has a pusher with a pusher. Improves weight distribution In order to ensure can be placed. A single longitudinally partitioned collection container such as container 2G instead of separate elongated collections that can be releasably connected to each other and to the foundation frame A container (not shown) can be used.

FIG. 7 is a schematic plan view of a collection container 2H having a basic container 2a'; 2a' at the same time contains the capacity provided by the individual containers 2b', 2c' and 2d'. Constitutes a base or support frame for the vessel part. Individual containers 2b', 2c ' and 2d' are releasably connectable with the base container 28'. Basic container 28 ’ and the individual containers are provided with filling openings (not shown) through which the The sorted waste can be moved on the guide rail 58 (see Figure 6). It can be dropped from the intermediate container 2F. Depending on the special case, the container part may contain , for example, each side wall is provided with a filling amount L that can be loaded independently of the intermediate container 2H. can be done. For example, paper can be placed in individual containers 2b' and stored in a hospital, for example. These special waste materials could be filled into individual containers 20' and 2d'. that From, individual containers are for emptying;: ilV Hayabusa container? From here again:: Heavy car Both can be released and transported without reloading, and the basic container 2a ’ is dropped as normal.

Returning to FIG. 6, the F dumping device 35 operates the waste container 16 to enter the intermediate container 12F. It is provided in the form of a robot type A 1 to open the space. The dropping device 35 is coupled to the vehicle or further for rotation about a vertical axis 36; If J is accurate, it will be connected to the guide 65. The dropping device 35 uses a hydraulic cylinder. Arm section 37 whose length can be varied horizontally as well as whose length can also be varied. It has an arm section 38 that can be rotated.

Arm section 38 is pivotally connected to arm section 37. In the case of the throwing device 35, the vehicle (i.e., the normal height of the vehicle) between the waste container 16 and the intermediate container 12F. cannot be exceeded much during operation. The gripping mechanism 39 (shown only schematically) is an arm section 38 and around at least one coordinate axis to the arm section 3H. On the other hand, since it is itself rotatable, virtually any type of waste container can be used on the road. Pick up from the edge and place the grinding machine (not shown) in the lifting frame 24 in the intermediate container. position in front of the container 12F, and rotate the gripping mechanism 39 to Empty it into the container 12F and use it again. The gripping mechanism 39 is An operating stage located from the turntable or on the side of the vehicle (not shown in Figure 6) It can be operated from (not shown). The gripping mechanism 39 holds the waste container during the emptying process. Means (not shown) for opening and holding the 16 covers is provided. Appropriately shaped If configured, the gripping device will be able to pick up trash bags and relatively small, unwieldy junk. Can also be done. If the gripping device can rotate around all three coordinate axes, it can be attached to the edge of the road. This is advantageous in that it is possible to pick up a waste container that is standing at an angle.

In all embodiments, the intermediate container can be completely closed (no matter how many lids there are) (although it is not shown in the drawing). For example, flap 28 as shown in Figure 4. Alternatively, the discharge opening can be closed using a flap 29 as shown in FIG. During ~ The storage container may also be provided with a closable filling opening for the waste container to be emptied. and such openings are opened only while emptying the waste container. This is the filling aperture This can be achieved by using one or more cover flaps (not shown) for Wear. The filling opening of the intermediate container may extend almost the entire length of the container ceiling. good.

Returning to the embodiment of FIG. 4, the holder mechanism 26 is replaced.

can do. If the intermediate container 12D is formed appropriately (a container that is open at the top) (not shown in Figure 4), although such waste collection vehicles are difficult to handle. It can also be used to collect junk. Implementation shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 The example shows that after the rotation process the intermediate container 121 is collected in a manner similar to that shown in FIG. It can also be modified with respect to a horizontal displacement movement, such that it is pushed against the container 2I. difference In addition, drive means (not shown) for driving according to FIG. 7 are provided.

The intermediate container 12J has an open top as its filling opening. Displacement device 19″ is a lifting mechanism 72 for the intermediate container 12.1 (this is not shown in FIG. (described later with reference to FIG. 9). Vertically extending lobe guide 2 for lifting mechanism 72 3' is tightly connected to a guide 71 having a shielding part 73 and an open part 74. Ru. The open portion 74 of the guide 71 extends forward of the guide 23'. Shielding guide 71 The portion 73 is formed in the form of a rectangular channel closed on all four sides; The channel extends from the guide 23' to the top of the filling volume rI]lIJ of the collecting container 2J. It extends to the feeding area 40. The transfer area 40 is collected at its bottom by an intermediate seal 41 It is tightly connected to the filling opening 11J of the container 2J. Drive means (not shown), e.g. For example, by using an endless rotating chain drive mechanism extending horizontally within the guide 71, The intermediate container 12J is moved along the guide 71 by a carriage 42 formed as a cover plate. You can move it back and forth. Alternatively, the drive means may be implemented as shown in FIG. It can be a hydraulic cylinder corresponding to the hydraulic cylinder 27 in the example, but with the proviso that the cylinder The cylinder is fixed to the rear end of the guide 71 together with the carrier, the jig 42, and the piston rono F. except that it is a good idea to At the same time, at the empty position, which is the drive position, When the piston/cylinder unit will be pushed together. Water in intermediate container 12J Planar motion can be achieved by other drive systems, such as an oil motor (not shown) or an electric motor (not shown). It can also be done by of the rectangular channel formed by the shielding portion 73. The width is such that it can accommodate the intermediate container 12J together with the other carriage-like cover plate 42. 6. The rear wall 40' is closed.

The support frame 70 of the displacement device 19'' is mounted at two fastening points 43 at the front end of the vehicle chassis. It is pivoted. Further, the support frame 70 is constructed so as to provide point E support. It is supported by a fastening point 44 on an abutment 75 for the service mechanism 9. The fastening point 44 is Both chassis 1 can be freely bent relative to the originally rigid support frame 70. It is formed as a joint so that the The fastening points 44 are attached to the support frame 70. It can be a universal joint that allows lateral displacement of the abutment portion 75.

Hydraulic cylinders 45 are coupled to each side of support frame 70. hydraulic cylinder 4 5 raises the support frame 70 by a small amount from the horizontal position (action position) shown. so that the filling opening 11J is exposed and the collection container 2J is separated from the vehicle. can be done. The hydraulic cylinder 45 is located at the position 1 where the displacement device 19'' is indicated by the dashed line. It is dimensioned so that it can also be pivoted forward into the loaf. This makes luck Since the turntable 6 can be rotated to the position shown by the dashed line as usual, Repair or maintenance work can be performed on the vehicle's engine.

The mode of operation of the displacement device 19'' of FIG. 8 is otherwise described in connection with FIG. This corresponds to the displacement device described above and the operation method of the displacement device 19' described in connection with FIG. . The waste container (not shown in Figure 8) is attached to the holder mechanism (not shown in Figure 8). ), the intermediate container 1 shown in FIG. It will be vacated in 2J. Then, the intermediate container 1 is moved by the lifting mechanism 72 (see FIG. 9). 2J is raised until it abuts the carriage 42 and is locked thereto. After that, the plan A driving means (not shown) provided in the interior 71 moves the carriage 42 to the intermediate container 12J. Both move from the lifting mechanism to the shielding part 73 of the guide 71 and then empty the position. Move to. Here, a closing flap (see FIG. 8) forming the rear wall of the intermediate container 12J is used. (not shown) is opened, and the waste contained in the intermediate container 12J is discharged from the ejector 1. 7 (which can be driven, for example, by a hydraulic cylinder as shown) in the transfer area. 40 and falls through the filling opening 11J into the collection container 2J. . Inside the collection container 2J, the butcher 7 pushes the waste to the rear part of the collection container 2J. . The pusher 7 is advanced by an action mechanism 9 (such as a hydraulic cylinder) until finally below the filling opening 11J in the part of the collection vessel 12J that has a relatively low ceiling. Scrape over the area.

Due to the relatively low ceiling, the front part of collection container 2J is smaller than the rest of collection container 2J. The container has a small cross section.

The waste is pushed from the area of the smaller vessel cross-section to the area of the larger vessel cross-section until the final During the filling stage, the structure of the waste almost completely occupies a relatively large cross-sectional area of the collection container 12J. It fills up completely.

The shielding portion 73 of the guide 71 protects the intermediate container 12J from the transfer area during its horizontal range of movement. It surrounds all the way to area 40. This allows the waste to be released from the intermediate container 12J. This prevents it from blowing out through the top. In any case, the intermediate container 12 J is closed by the carriage 42 during horizontal movement. Lifting as shown in Figure 9 The mechanism 72 is used to shield the intermediate container 12J from the outside during vertical upward movement. You can also be there.

Like the elevating mechanism 22 in FIG. 4, the elevating mechanism 72 shown in FIG. It has an elevating frame 24 mounted to move up and down on it. elevator The structure 72 also has a lifting drive, which is not shown in FIG. 8 for clarity. stomach. The lifting drive 25 described in conjunction with FIG. 4 can be used. Different from Figure 4 The lifting mechanism 72 also has a cover 46 of variable length. The cover 46 is basically has a bellows 47 with a C-shaped cross section, which covers the lifting area on the side. And it surrounds the driver's seat 6. The bellows 47 moves toward the front. We are open regarding.

This opening is closed by a strip curtain 48. Bottom end of bellows 47 The upper end is fastened to the intermediate container 12J and the top end is fastened to the carriage 42.

After being completely filled, the intermediate container 12J is raised by the lifting frame 24 and placed in the cage. The ridges 42 are pressed together, and while this happens, the roses 47 are pressed together. be partially received by four parts of the carriage 42; ・Removably firmly grasp the bottom end of 18 or the top of intermediate container 12J. The handle 76 can be tightened. The top end is attached to the carriage 42. It is attached to a connected winding mechanism 50. The front area of the cover 46 is small. The waste container to be emptied (shown in Figure 9) can be opened at least partially. using the holder mechanism 26 to remove a significant amount of dust or waste. Items can be emptied into the open intermediate container 12J without missing anything. middle As soon as container 12J is locked to carriage 42, the entire system including cover 46 is removed. It can be moved to the vacant position shown in Figure 8. The elevating frame 24 is in the elevated position remains in place.

In the filling position of the intermediate container 12J near the ground shown in FIG. It obstructs the view of drivers heading to the department. However, dirt is generally not a problem. . This is because the elevating mechanism 72 of the displacement device 19 is connected to the intermediate container 12J and the elevating frame J- 24 can be raised quickly so the driver can see again. Ru.

When emptying small waste bins at various stops along a relatively long route, intermediate container 12J so that the vehicle can continue moving before it is completely filled. I had to move it up several times to get it to work.

On the other hand, if a single-occupancy container has to be emptied, for example in a multi-family residence. or when a large number of relatively small waste containers are arranged next to each other, When intermediate container 12J is almost completely filled at one pick-up station, During the horizontal movement and emptying process the vehicle moves to the next wide lifting station. The intermediate container can be emptied into the vehicle.

If a bag (not shown) is used for the waste instead of the waste container, and If you drop a bag like this into the open top of the 1.2J intermediate container without emptying it, The cartridge 42 is in a raised position so that the intermediate container 12J compresses its contents. It may be desirable to include a pressure plate which is sometimes applied. Such a pressure plate is the intermediate vessel 12 J is carried by the carriage 42 during horizontal movement, and finally the intermediate container 12J is collected. The emptying position on the container 2J is reached. However, instead of a separate pressure plate In contrast, the filling scale at the top of the intermediate container 12J is attached to the flat plate fastened to the intermediate container 12J. can be closed with a push button (not shown). In embodiments without cover 46, the folding Such a flap, which can be folded open, surrounds the filling opening on three sides and keeps the debris out. While emptying the container into the intermediate container 2J, a protective shield against drafts is formed.

As can be seen from Figure 8, the space behind the driver's cab 6 and between the collection container 2J 111 between the walls and outside the abutment 75 for the action mechanism 9. this sky between two relatively distant pick-up locations for the waste container. is sufficient for a protected worker station where the operator can wait while on the move.

A ladder 5I is provided to allow convenient access to the upper area of the vehicle. , attached by a hinge (not shown) on one side and a stop (not shown) on the other side. (not shown). This allows the ladder 51 to be locked to the worker station. It can also serve as a safety door to prevent workers from being thrown out of the worker station. Ensure that there are no Although not shown to avoid obscuring the drawing Also, walls are installed at the top and three sides of the worker station to prevent workers from staying in this position. It can also protect workers from the weather while they are in use. At the same time, the worker crashes into the vehicle. Even if you are forced to apply the brakes, you will have a safe position while moving. .

], Figures 4A to 14G are shown in Figures 8 and 9 for better understanding. The sequence of individual actions is shown for the general type of vehicle shown in the figure. As shown in Figures 8 and 9. Some of the elements shown in Figures 14A-1 have been removed to avoid obscuring the drawings. 4G and the holder mechanism 26' and ladder of FIGS. 14A to 14G. 51' is a modified version of the holder 26 and ladder 51 of FIGS. 8 and 9. addition Therefore, the vehicle shown in Figs. 14A to 14G has a vertical hydraulic cylinder shown in Fig. 8. Horizontal hydraulic cylinder 45' for rotating the support frame instead of the cylinder 45 has.

Figure 14A shows emptying a large combustible container into the intermediate container 12J located near the ground. This shows the work to be done. The space above the intermediate container 12J is provided with a waste container 16' with a strip cover. It is surrounded by a cover 46 so that it can be rotated into this range through the It is.

Figure 14B shows the rising process.

FIG. 14C shows how the intermediate container 12J is channeled until it reaches the empty position. The work of displacing the inside of the guide 71 is shown. The lifting frame 24 is held in the raised position. There is.

Figure 140 shows the operation of emptying the intermediate container 12J into the collection container 2J, during which the intermediate container 12J is emptied into the collection container 2J; The rear closing flap 77 of the container 12J opens the discharge opening of the intermediate container 12J. .

Figures 14E and 14F illustrate the return movement of intermediate container 12J. Figure 14F shows Also shown is the operation of pushing the waste by the pusher 7 into the rear region of the collection container 2J.

14G, the displacement device 19' is rotated slightly forward and the ground support 18 is retracted. Showing the vehicle extended from collection container 2J, open for interchangeable bodies. By lowering the vehicle relative to the collection container 2J in the manner described above, the vehicle is lowered into the collection container 2J. You can be released from 2J and move forward. Now we have a new empty collection container. You can also pick up the items in the reverse order. Maintenance and/or repair work is If necessary, the displacement is shown in Figure 8. can be moved.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 148 to 14G, the fixed end of the hydraulic cylinder 45' It is pivotally attached to the L portion of the contact portion 75. This includes, among other things, the arrangement shown in Figure 8. Comparatively, more space is available for a worker station behind ladder 51'. It has the advantage of being able to

The vehicle can only be driven if the intermediate container is raised. not shown However, this can be achieved with additional safety measures. This safety measure can, for example, release the brake only if the intermediate container is towed. It is connected to a control for the displacement device in the form of a so-called interlock.

Figure 15 shows the r selection as already mentioned in connection with Figures 12 and 13. When collecting waste, it can be used with the vehicle according to Figure 8 instead of the collection container 2J. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the collection container 2 used. Collection container 2 has container parts 78, 79 and and 80 are formed by longitudinally extending partitions. It can be formed as Collection container 2 also consists of three narrow individual containers. However, these containers may be secured by releasable locking means (not shown). They are connected together to form a compact unit that can be placed on top of the vehicle. can be placed and released from the vehicle again. At that time, it is full The individual containers can be moved separately to various drop positions.

The filling amount m-]11K of container parts 78, 79 and 80 is calculated once the container is removed from the vehicle. Once released, it can be closed by means of a separate closing flap 81. moreover , the rear wall of the collection container is divided into three pivotable parts 4'. Therefore, three The container portions can be filled and emptied separately. Not shown in Figure 8 However, when using the collection container 2K, the transfer area 40 can be separated by a corresponding metal partition.
