Definitions

  • the invention relates to a large settling container for waste transport according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Settling tanks are usually used for the intermediate transport of waste. They take the garbage from a collection point to which municipal waste vehicles are supplied, for example, and transport the garbage to a central collection facility, which can consist of a landfill, an incineration plant or other waste processing.
  • the large settling containers according to the invention are used in the first phase of the intermediate transport, namely when they are filled, to compact the waste in order to make a small transport volume from a large amount of unloaded waste. This is done with a garbage press that can be locked with the settling container for the duration of the filling and stuffs the garbage into the container with its active part.
  • This process can be carried out with the help of the push plate in such a way that first one or more subsets of the garbage are inserted and compacted over a fraction of the length of the container shell, whereupon another subset is inserted and in turn on the already compacted garbage with the same pressure as this is pressed together. As soon as the pressure applied causes the thrust shield to dodge, the already compressed garbage is displaced.
  • This process which is repeated when filling a large settling container, becomes a strong compaction of the waste, whereby the last part inserted into the container is also compressed, but can then only expand to such an extent after being relieved by the waste press that the filler ends up with the wall can be closed.
  • Such a large settling container must on the one hand withstand the considerable pressures which arise from the reaction forces of the compressed filling. On the other hand, however, it should have a low dead weight in order to be able to transport as much garbage as possible without exceeding the total weight specified for the vehicle.
  • this can be any type of vehicle, mainly road vehicles, in particular trailers and rail vehicles, the dimensions and total weights of which are specified. Since the permissible dimensions of the vehicle length and the vehicle clearance profile must not be exceeded, the amount of waste can only be increased via the waste compression.
  • the large settling containers for waste according to the invention are largely independent of the type of transport vehicle. They can therefore be transported with road vehicles, but also with rail vehicles or in ships.
  • the invention is based on known large settling containers of this type (DE-OS 31 31 544).
  • the jacket surrounding the compressed garbage column has a rectangular cross section, which offers the advantage of a relatively simple construction of flat longitudinal walls and flat floor and ceiling panels.
  • such a cross-section requires an extraordinary effort along the length of the waste container to absorb the buckling forces, which can lead to inadmissible deformations of the flat container disks under the influence of the waste press.
  • the push shield also finds a relatively high resistance in the corners of the jacket cross-section when pushing out the compressed garbage. This process in turn generates considerable reaction forces in the container jacket, which must be compensated for by a weight-increasing, complex construction.
  • correspondingly complex push-plate drives and high dead weights are obtained. Both reduce the payload accordingly and prevent the transportable amount of waste from increasing by increasing the compression pressure.
  • the invention has for its object to form a large settling container of the type presupposed as known such that it can withstand the necessary compression pressures with a light construction, which must be used for economical waste transport and enables trouble-free unloading of highly compressed waste columns.
  • the jacket cross-section formed from several basket arches with common edges has a very high degree of dimensional stability as a result of the curvatures which the side walls and the bottom and top of the container follow. Although such curved constructions are more complex to process than the known flat design, they have a weight-saving effect in absorbing the reaction forces of the compressed waste.
  • Corners ie sharp turning points of the outline, arise only in the longitudinal walls of the large-size container according to the invention, where, however, they do not have an inhibiting effect on the pushing movement of the shield, because the compressed material can dodge. However, they lead to a favorable longitudinal stiffening of the jacket cross section due to their angular shape.
  • the resulting mirror-symmetrical design of the container jacket permits a comparatively simple manufacture of the bottom and top of the container and the assembly of these sections, which at the same time contain the assigned parts of the container side walls.
  • the stiffening mentioned is realized in the container at the turning points of the jacket cross section in such a way that it can have a uniform effect on the sections of the side walls.
  • the heavier door constructions compared to the casing of the container can be used several times. They absorb not only the reaction forces of the container walls, but also the reaction forces of hoists and locks, which can interact with the vehicle body or with the frame of the garbage press, with which the garbage is filled and compressed.
  • the settling container 1 shown in the figures is intended for waste transport. It takes up a compressed garbage column, the length of which is enclosed on all sides by a jacket 2.
  • the arrow II of FIG. 1 points to the filling end of the container 1, which at the same time also represents the discharge end when the container 1 is emptied.
  • the arrow III points to the other end of the container 1, which is permanently closed with the push plate shown in FIG. 3.
  • the container consists of an upper section 3 and a lower section 4, which is attached to longitudinal beams 5 for stiffening.
  • the two sections are arranged mirror-symmetrically to the longitudinal center plane of the container 1.
  • the common longitudinal edges of the two sections 3, 4, one of which is shown at 6 in FIG. 1, run in the longitudinal center plane.
  • the parallel lines 7 and 8 of the upper sections 3 and 9 and 10 of the lower section 4 are used to represent outward curvatures of basket arch cross sections.
  • such a basket arch cross-section has a slightly curved section 11, which in the upper section 3 forms the ceiling 12 of the container, while in the lower section 4 it comprises the outline of the container bottom 13.
  • the subsequent outline sections are proportionately more curved and start at lines 7 to 10. They are formed by longitudinal wall sections 14 in section 3 and 15 in section 4.
  • a plurality of chucks 16 to 19 are arranged. These frames consist of rectangular tubes, which are welded to the sheets, which are curved according to the basket arch cross-sections described and form the container sections 3 and 4.
  • a gate frame 20 or 21 is located at the ends of the container jacket.
  • the gate frame 20 is connected to the last frame 16 of the container by means of two cross members 22, 23 arranged on each longitudinal wall of the container; the two pairs of trusses 22, 23 are stiffened with a half frame 24 and in turn, like the frames, consist of welded rectangular tubes.
  • the door frame 20 consists of frame members 25 to 28 which are rigidly connected to one another.
  • receptacles for container locks at 29 and 30 which are arranged, for example, on a vehicle frame.
  • receptacles for the hanger of a hoist which is used for receiving and depositing the container 1.
  • a flap-shaped cover 35 which receives a wall 36 which closes the container end assigned to the frame 20.
  • the area of the wall 36 is less than the opening of the container shell 2, but this is closed by the wall 36 and the lid 35.
  • the partial opening 37 closed by the wall 36 lies above the container bottom. It corresponds to the clear cross-section of the waste press location from which the waste is pressed into the container. After pulling the wall 36 out of the lid 35, the opening 37 is free. After completion of the filling process, the wall 36 is pushed back into its guide in the cover 35.
  • the gate frame 21 arranged at the opposite end of the container 1 is connected to the last frame 19 assigned to this container end by means of a bent sheet 38 which is arranged on each container side.
  • the structure of the goal frame 21 can be seen in particular from the illustration in FIG. 3.
  • this goal frame also consists of the frame members 39 to 41 which are connected at an angle-stiffly to one another.
  • receptacles 43, 44 which correspond to the receptacles 29 and 30 in structure and purpose, which are described in connection with FIG. 2. Accordingly, in the upper frame corners there are receptacles 45 and 46 for the described hoist with which the container 1 is manipulated.
  • the frame 21 has a bushing 47, 48 on each vertical frame member 40, 42 for guiding a bolt 49, 50.
  • a stop plate 51, 52 sits on the vertical frame members 40 and 42.
  • a push plate 53 can be inserted behind the frame 21 into the casing 2 of the container 1 by its upper section 54 is pivoted behind the stops 51, 52. After the push plate 53 has assumed its correct position, the bolts 49 and 50 are pushed inward, as a result of which the push plate 53 is prevented from getting out of the jacket 2 of the container 1.
  • An upper gusset 54 'and a lower gusset 55' are connected to the frame members and stiffen the frame.
  • the common basket arch edges are drawn at 6.
  • the thrust plate generally designated 53, has a support structure, which in turn consists of the frame members 59 to 62 which are rigidly connected to one another. Horizontal and vertical trusses 63 to 66 serve to stiffen the frame. The two vertical cross members 64 and 66 are in turn connected to a horizontal cross member 67, which forms a frame with the lower frame member 61, which, as shown at 68 and 69, is stiffened with parallel frame members. These frame members form a bushing for guiding a bolt, not shown, which connects the cylinder of a thrust piston transmission to the thrust shield 53. The cylinder serves as a drive for the push plate 53 and is located on the transport vehicle, which is not shown.
  • the two vertical cross members 64 and 66 are extended downward and connected to the lower frame member 61 via gusset plates. For their part, they are braced with a crossmember 70, which forms a sliding frame, for which rails 71 'and 72' are laid on the bottom of the container shell.
  • the bevels shown in dash-dot lines serve for the sliding surface, so that the sliding frame itself does not touch the floor panel.
  • the hinged to the frame 20 flap 35 can be locked with a catch hook 73, which interacts with a locking mechanism.
  • the locking mechanism consists of a gear 74.
  • the gear has a two-armed rocker 75, which engages with a round bolt 76 in the mouth of the catch hook 73 and is connected at its other end to a coupling 76, which in turn is at the lower apex angle of a triangular lever 77 is articulated.
  • This lever interacts with a folding hook 78, which is articulated on the frame 16 and finds a stop 79 for its hook mouth, which is arranged at the lower angle of the triangular lever 77.
  • This triangular lever 77 is held by a coil spring 79 'which is fastened to a bracket 80 of the frame 16.
  • the jacket 2 of the container 1 described consists of thin sheets of approximately 3 mm in thickness and is also designed in a welded construction.
