Definitions
- the invention relates to a truck provided with a device for taking up a garbage container and emptying it into the collecting container positioned on the chassis of the truck, said device comprising a rotatably mounted gripping member being able to grip the garbage container, bring it up and tilt it over, so that the garbage present therein falls out into the collecting container.
- the collecting container With the known trucks for collecting household garbage, the collecting container has been fixedly mounted to the chassis of the truck and the device for taking up a garbage container is generally at the back of the collecting container. Consequently, for operating the device, there will always have to be a person present at the back of the truck. When the collecting container is full, the truck first has to be driven to a place where the container can be emptied before the further collection can be proceeded.
- a further difficulty of the known system lies in the fact, that when the truck has been used for collecting vegetable, fruit and garden garbage, or other household garbage by which the collecting container has become dirty, the truck has to be cleaned first in order to make it suitable for collecting wastepaper, for example.
- the invention seeks to remove these difficulties and to that end provides for a truck with a chassis suitable for taking up an interchangeable collecting container, in which at the side facing the cabin of the truck, this collecting container has been provided with a receiving member coupled to a compacting member for compacting garbage deposited in the receiving member into the container, with the device for taking up a garbage container and emptying it being situated between the receiving member and the cabin, said device comprising an arm composed of a number of portions with the gripping member at its end, such that a garbage container placed at some distance from the device and at the side of the truck can be gripped, picked up and be rotated backward in order to be brought over the receiving member in order to be emptied into the receiving member.
- the collecting container when the collecting container is full, it can be immediately replaced by an empty one, as a result of which the standstill period of the truck can be limited.
- the full container can be discharged in order to be emptied at a suitable moment.
- a truck intended excusively for container transport for the discharge, one could also use a truck intended excusively for container transport.
- the truck When the truck is not required for collecting garbage every day of the week, it can also be used for transport of containers of other companies, so that the truck can be used more effectively.
- the device for taking up a garbage container is situated between the cabin and the collecting container. In practice, the distance between the cabin and the collecting container need only be about 600 mm.
- the receiving member with the compacting member results in the garbage being compressed well and a container being optimally filled. Since the aperture of the receiving member can be at a considerably lesser height than the upper wall of the collecting container, the height across which the garbage container is to be rotated will be limited. As a result of this, the time required for emptying a garbage container can be shortened.
- the arm of the device for taking up a garbage container will consist of at least two portions telescopically slidable in one another, a first rotating arm portion being pivotably connected to the free end of the outer slidable portion, such that said rotating arm portion is rotatable in relation to the telescopically slidable portion in a plane going through the axis of the slidable portions, a second rotating arm portion being pivotably connected to the other end of the first rotating arm portion and being rotatable in a plane square to the plane in which the first rotating arm portion is rotatable, said second rotating arm portion having its other end provided with the gripping member for gripping a garbage container, said gripping member being rotatable in relation to the rotating arm portion according to axes being square in relation to each other, means having been provided for sliding and rotating the various parts of the device in relation to one another.
- the gripping member being at the extremity of the arm can be brought to a container to be picked up and be coupled therewith. If desired, this can be facilitated by small rotations of the rotating arm portions.
- the device can also pick up a garbage container not being placed in the correct position. This is the case e.g. when the pivot shaft of the lid of the garbage container is directed more or less square to the axis of the truck.
- the gripping member is composed of a frame connected to the second rotating arm portion in such a way, that in relation to this portion it is rotatable about two axes being square to each other, a take up member being rotatable about an almost horizontal axis in relation to the frame and having a hook-shaped portion being able to grip underneath the edge of a garbage container and having been provided with at least one leg directed downwards in the position in which a garbage container is taken up and being provided with a cross beam at its lower end, for supporting the lower end of a container, and a clamping member rotatably connected to the take up member, said clamping member comprising two spaced apart legs which, after bringing the hook-shaped portion underneath the edge of the garbage container, are clamped onto the edge of the container, next to its lid, by rotation of the clamping member, at which the rotation of the clamping member in relation to the take up member is obtained, in that the clamping member has been coupled to at least one operating arm operated by a portion of the frame
- pressurized medium cylinders For sliding and rotating the portions of the device in relation to each other, one will particularly use pressurized medium cylinders, the valves for supply and discharge of pressurized medium of which are electrically operated from the driver's cabin.
- the gripping member can be brought to a garbage container by means of a joystick, for coupling the gripping member to the container and lifting the container slightly, after which by operating a single button, the complete process of taking up, rotating, emptying and returning the garbage container to its initial position is performed automatically and the garbage container is put down on its original place again with the help of the joystick.
- the truck shown in the drawing comprises the chassis 1, provided with the wheels 2, the driver's cabine 3, and additionally parts not indicated, such as an engine and the like.
- an interchangeable collecting container 4 being provided with a door or doors 5 at the back, for emptying the container.
- the receiving member 6 At the front of the container is the receiving member 6 from which the garbage thrown therein can be brought into the container 4 by means of a compacting member 7 - not shown in detail - being situated near the bottom of the container 4 and of the receiving member 6.
- This compacting member 7 can be operated by pressurized medium cylinders, for example.
- the device 1 by which a garbage container 9 can be taken up and be emptied is positioned on the chassis 1.
- the device comprises a base 10 having rods 11, which in pairs serve for guiding beams 12 connected to an inner arm portion 13, in which an arm portion 14 has been slidably received.
- the arm portion 14 is connected to the first rotating arm portion 17 by means of the vertical axis 16, said portion being connected to the second rotating arm portion 19 by means of the horizontal axis 18.
- This rotating arm portion 19 is in turn connected to the gripping member 20.
- the gripping member 20 comprises a frame 21 being rotatable about a horizontal axis 22 and about a vertical axis 23 in relation to the portion 19. Further, the gripping member 20 comprises the take up member 24 being rotatably connected to the frame 21 by means of the axis 25.
- the take up member 24 has a U-shaped portion 26, an upwardly directed leg 27 of which being provided with recesses 28 so that this leg can be brought underneath the edge of containers of various dimensions.
- the take up member 24 has been provided with legs 29, the lower ends of which being provided with a cross beam 30 for supporting the lower end of a container 9.
- a clamping member 31 has been rotatably connected to the take up member 24, in such a way that its legs 32 can be pressed onto the upper edges 33 of the garbage container 9, next to its lid 34.
- the clamping member 31 has been connected to operating arms 35, the other end of which having been provided with a pin 36 accommodated in a slot 37 in a portion of the frame 21. Owing to this, with rotating the take up member 24 in relation to the frame 21, the clamping member will clamp the container on emptying the container, as shown in particular in Fig. 3.
- pressurized medium cylinders being mounted between the various parts.
- the pressurized medium cylinders have been connected to lines in which electrically operable valves are situated. None of these parts have been further indicated in the drawing.
