Definitions

  • the present invention relates to container identification systems, and in particular to container identification systems on side loading refuse vehicles with gripper arms.
  • Container identification systems for identifying waste containers have been used for some time in order to enable billing of garbage disposal fees depending on the weight or the frequency of emptying of a waste container equipped with a transponder.
  • Container identification systems of this type serve to store the data transmitted by the transponder, ie, for example, an identification number that is assigned to the respective household that is to be charged with the corresponding garbage fees, in a data acquisition unit or data processing unit that is accommodated with the container identification system in the side loading refuse vehicle , record and process.
  • a transceiver assigned to the side-loading waste vehicle activates the transponder on the waste container.
  • the transponder emits an information code stored in the transponder, which the transceiver detects, stores and / or processes on the side of the refuse vehicle.
  • the garbage weight can be stored together with the identification number identifying the household or processed further.
  • the garbage container is usually identified in such a way that a defined spatial assignment of the transponder antenna is required during the emptying process.
  • the position of the transponder in relation to the antenna must be selected such that a reading or recognition area between the antenna and the transponder that is as secure as possible is achieved, ie the data stored in the transponder can be detected by means of the antenna of the container identification system.
  • the waste container may only be attached to the gripping arm of the side loading refuse vehicle in a defined position via a so-called comb strip or via holding arms for container pins.
  • the refuse container can assume any position with respect to an antenna attached to the side-loading refuse vehicle due to a rotation about its vertical axis, reliable and reliable identification of the refuse containers with a transponder attached to the refuse container is necessary, taking into account the free assignment the transponder to the gripper arm is not possible.
  • the electromagnetic fields of the antennas do not have a spherical radiation behavior, so that the known attachment of the antennas in the vicinity of the refuse containers does not enable them to be reliably identified.
  • the reading or detection areas of the container identification systems with the currently possible transmission powers are not sufficient to enable the identification of the transponders attached to the refuse containers, which can be detected with gripping arms in any position.
  • the present invention is based on the object of creating an improved container identification system for a side-loading refuse vehicle. fen to ensure reliable and secure identification of a trash container equipped with a transponder regardless of its location in the gripper arm of a side-loading refuse vehicle.
  • the object of the present invention is achieved by a container identification system for a side loading refuse vehicle according to claim 1.
  • the invention is based on the finding that a refuse container equipped with a transponder can be identified reliably and reliably regardless of its position in the gripping arm of a side-loading refuse vehicle by means of the arrangement of an antenna in the detection area of the transponder.
  • a hydraulically or mechanically movable antenna is arranged on the gripping arm such that the antenna is arranged in the reading or detection area of the transponder attached to the refuse container after the refuse container has been gripped by the receiving and tilting device , or comes to rest on the lid of the waste container.
  • a very early and reliable detection and identification of the respective waste container is thus achieved, which makes it possible to terminate the emptying process of the waste container in good time if the identification shows that the waste container has no authorization for emptying.
  • the early identification of the waste container and the early availability of the transponder data make it possible to control the side loader gripper arm in such a way that the container content can be emptied into a multi-chamber vehicle body of a side loader waste vehicle depending on the fraction.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a container identification system for a side loading refuse vehicle.
  • a sensor 4 and an actuating device 6 with a folding or swiveling device are arranged, which can be moved according to the dashed arrow 8 in FIG. 1 and one Antenna arrangement 10 is moved into the reading or detection area of a refuse container 12 equipped with a transponder.
  • the refuse container 12 equipped with a transponder is located in any vertical position, which is represented by the dashed circular line 14 in FIG. 1, in the gripping arm 2 of the pick-up and tilting device of the side-loading refuse vehicle.
  • a transceiver 16 is electrically connected both to the antenna arrangement 10 and to a control device 18, the control device 18 also being electrically connected to the sensor 4 and the actuating device 6.
  • the sensor 4 attached to the gripper arm 2 detects whether there is a waste container 12 in the gripper arm 2 of the pick-up and tilting device of the side loading refuse vehicle, and forwards this to the control unit 18. If a waste container 12 is located in the gripper arm 2 of the pick-up and tilting device of the side loading refuse vehicle, the antenna arrangement 10 is moved into the reading or by means of the swiveling or folding device of the actuating device 6, which is arranged on the pick-up arm 2 of the pick-up and tilting device Detection area of the transponder arranged on the waste container 12 is moved, ie pivoted or folded, or comes to rest over the lid of the waste container 12 to be identified.
