Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a device of such type is described in, for example, international patent specification WO 89/03794.
  • the sensing element and the first switch are part of a safety system for the drive means of the lifting arms and the pick-up frame. With the sensing element is checked whether the pick-up edge of the container is grasped by the pick-up element in the right way. If this is not the case the container is prevented from being lifted automatically by the lifting arms.
  • a disadvantage of the known device is that it has no provisions to guarantee a safe and reliable locking of the pick-up edge of the container on the pick-up frame during lifting and tipping of a container.
  • the object of the invention is to remove this disadvantage.
  • a device for emptying containers designed in this way comprises a safety mechanism which has two parts, a first part which becomes operative as soon as it is clear that the pick-up edge of a container has not been placed in the envisaged way over the pick-up element of the pick-up frame, and a second part which becomes operative when for one reason or another the locking of the container edge on the pick-up element has not been fully achieved or becomes ineffective.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically in side view the pick-up frame with lifting arms of a device according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a front view of the pick-up frame, of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a view on enlarged scale of a detail of Fig. 2.
  • Fig. 4 is a view along the line IV-IV in Fig. 2 of the detail of Fig. 3, on the same enlarged scale.
  • Fig. 5 shows the various positions of the lifting arms shown in Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 6 shows a container placed on the pick-up frame provided with a container lock comprising a suction cup.
  • the device for emptying containers comprises, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a pick-up frame 1 and lifting arms 2 which are carried by a vehicle 3.
  • the device is provided with a safety mechanism which comprises two parts, a first part 4 which operates when a container edge 5 does not grip properly on a pick-up element in the form of a comb 6, and a second part which operates when the container edge locking mechanism is not closed properly.
  • the first part 4 is situated, as Fig. 2 shows, in the second tooth from the left on the comb 6, but can be fitted, depending on the type of pick-up frame and container to be handled, at any point on the comb 6.
  • the container edge 5 with the comb 6 is also shown in Fig. 4.
  • the other end of the pin 8 is fixed to a switch arm 9.
  • a bearing plate 11 is welded to the frame 1.
  • the switch arm 9 is detachably connected to the bearing plate 11 by means of a round resilient rubber element 10, having a threaded end at both sides.
  • a guide 12 for the switch arm 9 On the frame is also mounted a guide 12 for the switch arm 9 and a mounting plate 13, on which a limit switch 14, which is a part of the control system for the lifting arms 2 and the pick-up frame 1, is adjustably fitted.
  • the switch arm 9 can interact with the limit swich 14.
  • the lifting movement can be divided into three parts A, B and C (see Fig. 5):
  • the limit switch 14 is not activated.
  • the switch arm 9 will start to rotate clockwise about the round resilient rubber element 10 (to the situation shown by dashed lines), thereby coming into the switch field of the limit switch 14, as a result of which the latter will switch, during part B of the lifting movement, and the lifting movement will be continued.
  • the limit switch 14 will not switch into part B of the lifting movement, as a result of which the lifting movement will be interrupted and will pass into a slow lowering movement. This is done for safety.
  • control system is designed in such a way that, if the pin 8 for some reason (e.g. jamming) remains pressed down after a container has been removed from the pick-up frame 1, the following lifting movement cannot be started.
  • the advantage of this safety mechanism is the operating reliability and the low sensitivity to soiling.
  • the first part of the safety mechanism can also be used for the recognition of certain types of containers, in order to influence the control of the device for emptying containers.
  • the second part of the safety mechanism is, as mentioned, operative when the container edge locking mechanism is not closed properly.
  • a part of the container edge 5 is still projecting above the comb 6.
  • a locking element 15 for the container edge locking which is here made up of an arm which is hingedly connected to the pick-up frame 1 and is provided with a flat part for locking the pick-up edge 5 of the container on the pick-up element 6 of the pick-up frame 1, cannot close properly. Said element 15 comes up against the container edge 5, instead of extending above the container edge.
  • a limit switch 16 which becomes active shortly after the start (time settable) of the container edge locking. If the locking element 15 for the container edge is not fully closed after the above-mentioned setting time (see position shown by dashed lines in Fig. 4), the arm of the locking element is still situated in the switch field of the limit switch 16. This will cause the lifting movement to stop and switch over to the slow lowering movement.
  • the second part of the safety mechanism which includes the locking element 15 and the limit swich 16 is also effective during the last part of the lifting tipping movement, as will be explained below.
  • a device for emptying containers is often provided with a mechanism for locking a container to the pick-up frame during the tipping movement.
  • a container locking mechanism may comprise (see Fig. 6) a vacuum operated suction cup 17 which can attach itself firmly to the side wall of a container 18. If this mechanism does not function properly, for example, due to a defect in the vacuum system connected to the suction cup 17 or a damaged suction cup of a damaged container, there is a risk that a container 18 placed on the pick-up frame 1 will start tipping relative to the pick-up frame 1 during the tipping movement of the pick-up frame, and particularly at the end thereof. This may cause the container to become loose from the comb 6 and to fall down.
  • the tipping movement of the container 18 relative to the pick-up frame 1 will cause the locking element 15 to rotate relative to the pick-up frame 1.
  • the arm of the locking element 15 will then operate the limit swich 16.
  • the control system for the drive means will then cause the automatic further movement of the lifting arms 2 and the pick-up frame 1 to stop.
  • a reset knob By manually operating a reset knob the pick-up frame 1 with container 18 can be tipped back and lowered at low speed.
