Definitions

  • This invention relates to a refuse vehicle of the type in which dust bins, ash, garbage or the like cans or are automatically emptied.
  • This type is generally provided with a hydraulic device for lifting and tilting the dust bins.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a mechanical device for emptying the bins thus avoiding the drawbacks of hydraulic apparatus.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a refuse vehicle comprising means for compressing the refuse in a hopper, said means, however, not being of the screw type, which requires considerable power and evidences considerable wear and tear at low efiiciency.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide apparatus for readily and automatically emptying dust bins.
  • Figure 1 is a side elevation seen from the right of the rear part of an embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a side elevation seen from the left of the hopper shown in Figure 1 with a device for lifting and tilting dust bins the lifted and tilted bin position being shown in dotted lines;
  • Figure 3 is a rear view of a vehicle according to Figure 1 with two devices for lifting and tilting dust bins;
  • Figure 4 is a side elevation seen from the left on a larger scale of a device for engaging and disengaging the driving gear of a bin holder;
  • Figure 5 is a horizontal section of a detail in Figure 4 along the line V-V on still arlarger scale;
  • Figure 6 is a side elevation of a part of the driving mechanism behind the side wall shown in Figure 1;
  • Figure '7 is a section taken along line VIIVII in Figure 6.
  • v a I The vehicle comprises a receptacle I, the rear wall of which is formed by a receiving hopper 2.
  • the hopper and the device for lifting and tilting dust bin are of the duplex type, in the following descriptiongenerally a single hopper and a single device cooperating therewith will be described.
  • the wall of the hopper 2 is shaped as part of a cylinderand fits below to the bottom of'the receptacle I, whereas the upper edge 2a of the hopper is at a somewhat higher level than the horizontal plane through the cylinder axis.
  • a horizontal shaft 3 is rotatably mounted'in the hopper.
  • a pressure plate 4 is secured to said, shaft.
  • the hopper communicates with the receptacle I by means of an aperture 5.
  • the engine for driving the vehicle (not shown) drives a shaft 6, which by means of a universal joint I drives a bevel pinion 8.
  • This pinion is in mesh with a bevel wheel 9 on a shaft I0 carrying a small tooth wheel II.
  • This wheel is in mesh with a larger gear I2 (see also Figure 6), which drives a chain wheel I3.
  • An endless chain I5 is mounted on chain wheels I3 and I4. The outer and the inner run of said chain are guided on part circular tracks I6 and H.
  • An arm I8 is secured to the shaft 3 of the pressure plate 4.
  • Said arm I8 is provided with a slot I9 in which a sliding member 20 can be displaced.
  • Said member 20 is connected to the chain I5 (see Figure 7). Consequently if the chain wheel I3 is driven in the direction of the arrow the member 20 follows the inner run along the track ll. Then arm I8 is raised and via shaft 3 the pressure plate 4 is moved. When the member 20 passes the upper chain wheel I4, it is shifted in the slot IS in the direction of the shaft and subsequently it follows the outer run of the chain along the track I6, such that the arm I8 rotates the shaft 3 in opposite direction and the pressure plate 4 is lowered.
  • can swing about shaft 3. This member is provided with an aperture 22 (see Figure 3).
  • a bin holder 24 adapted to support a bin 25 is pivotally mounted with respect to the rocking member 2
  • An arm 26 (see Figure 2) is secured to the shaft 23 and connected with a push rod 21 pivoted at 28 to the side wall of the hopper 2.
  • a bevel wheel 9 is mounted between two shafts [0. At both sides of the bevel wheel 9 a friction coupling 33, 34 respectively has been provided. These couplings can be disengaged by actuating levers so that the corresponding tooth wheels I l are driven.
  • a control handle 33 having a rearward extension 33a can be swung about a pivot 40 which is carried by the forked end 55 of a shaft 56 journalled in a box-shaped projection 21) of the hopper casing 2.
  • An arm 51 is fixed on the shaft 56 by means of a pin 58.
  • the free end of said arm 51 is connected with the corresponding coupling 33 (or 34) by means of a rod 59.
  • the handle 39 is pulled down thus raising the free end of the arm 5'! and the coupling is engaged against the action of a spring (not shown) which tends to maintain the coupling disengaged.
  • the driving arm i8 is provided with a cam 35 which is mounted on a pivot 35a in such a way, that when the arm I8 is moving downwards, said cam is pushed back by coming into contact with a stop 36 fixed on a rod 31 (of square or other non-round section) which is slidable, but not rotatable in the box 21). If, however, the arm l8 moves upwards, a bevel on the cam 35 pushes the stop 36 aside, thus sliding the rod 31 against the action of a spring 38 which returns the rod 31 to its original position as soon as the cam 35 has passed the stop 35.
  • of the lid 33 is engaged by a hook 24a of the bin holder.
  • said stud 43 urges a rod 44 down against the action of a spring 45 so that a lever 46 is lowered.
  • This lever is connected by a link 60 with a sliding member 4i which is urged in upward direction by a spring GI and which is slidabl'e in the forked guide 41.
  • the upper end of. the sliding member 4i is adapted to move not only up and down but also in lateral direction between the legs of the forked guide 4?.
  • the handle 39 is pulled down again and swung laterally to lock it by the shoulder 42. If it is desired to disengage the drive, the handle 33 is swung laterally so that its rearward extension 39a is freed from the shoulder 42 and is no longer locked thereon.
  • a cam disk 48 (see Figure 2) comprising two cams is secured to the shaft of the upper chain wheel I4.
  • An arm 49 of a bell crank lever 50 lies against said cam disk.
  • the other arm of said lever 50 is provided with a surface 5
  • the device works in a dust free manner because the bin 25 practically closes the opening 22 in the rocking member and the latter member in its upper position i. e. the emptying position of the bin forms a seal for the discharge opening 32.
  • the pressure plate 4 is also lowered so that the room for refuse inthe hopper 2 is sealed from the atmosphere by the pressure plate 4.
