Wenn die Schwenkarme 44, 45 in die in Figur 4 gezeigte Stellung hochgeschwenkt werden, wird dies vom Drehwinkelgeber 13b, der im Drehpunkt 46 des unteren Schwenkarmes 45 angeordnet ist, entsprechend detektiert, so daß über die Betätigungseinrichtung 8b (s. Figur 5a - c) zunächst das Abstützelement 4b in Arbeitsstellung gebracht wird und nach der Aufnahme des Behälters 2b das Verriegelungselement in Schließstellung gefahren wird.In FIG. 3, as in FIG. 1, the driving position of the garbage truck 30 shown, in which the support element 4b in the folded state, that is is in the rest position and the locking element 5b is in the open position. When the swivel arms 44, 45 swiveled up into the position shown in FIG. 4 , this is from the angle encoder 13b, which is located at the fulcrum 46 of the lower swivel arm 45 is arranged, detected accordingly, so that First the support element via the actuating device 8b (see FIGS. 5a-c) 4b is brought into the working position and after receiving the container 2b the locking element is moved into the closed position.

Die Funktionsweise wird nachfolgend anhand der Figuren 5a bis 5c erläutert. In diesen Darstellungen ist das Verriegelungselement 5b als Wippe mit den Schenkeln 40 und 41 dargestellt. Die Wippe ist um den Drehpunkt 6b schwenkbar am Verbindungselement 43 gelagert. Der erste Schenkel 40 wirkt mit der Behälteraufnahme 18b zusammen, an der der Rand des aufgenommenen Behälters (in den Figuren 5a - 5c nicht dargestellt) zwischen dem Schenkel 40 und der Aufnahme 18b eingeklemmt wird. Am zweiten Schenkel 41 ist im Drehpunkt 42 die Zylinderkolbeneinheit 8b angelenkt, die am unteren Ende im Gelenkpunkt 39b an dem Hebelarm 37b des Abstützelementes 4b angreift. Am freien Ende des Hebelarmes 37b ist das Anlageelement 36b dargestellt, das beispielsweise aus einer Gummiauflage bestehen kann, mit der das Abstützelement 4b an der Behälterwand anliegt. Der Hebelarm 37b ist um den Drehpunkt 15b am Verbindungselement 43 schwenkbar gelagert. Am rückwärtigen Ende des Hebelarmes 37b ist eine Nase 38 angeformt, die in Arbeitsstellung des Abstützelementes 4b (s. Figuren 5b und 5c) am Anschlag 9b anliegt. In dieser Stellung wird der Positionsmelder 10b aktiviert. Dem Schenkel 41 ist der Positionsmelder 12b zugeordnet, der die Offenstellung des Verriegelungselementes 5b überwacht.The mode of operation is explained below with reference to FIGS. 5a to 5c. In these representations, the locking element 5b is a rocker with the Legs 40 and 41 shown. The rocker is pivotable about the pivot point 6b mounted on the connecting element 43. The first leg 40 interacts with the Container receptacle 18b together, at the edge of the container received (not shown in Figures 5a - 5c) between the legs 40 and the receptacle 18b is clamped. On the second leg 41 is in the pivot point 42 articulated the cylinder piston unit 8b, which at the lower end in Pivot point 39b engages lever arm 37b of support element 4b. At the free end of the lever arm 37b, the contact element 36b is shown, the For example, can consist of a rubber pad with which the support element 4b rests on the container wall. The lever arm 37b is about the fulcrum 15b pivotally mounted on the connecting element 43. At the back At the end of the lever arm 37b, a nose 38 is formed, which is in the working position of the support element 4b (see FIGS. 5b and 5c) abuts the stop 9b. In position detector 10b is activated in this position. The leg 41 is the position indicator 12b assigned to the open position of the locking element 5b monitors.

Aus der in Figur 5a gezeigten Fahrstellung mit geöffnetem Verriegelungselement 5b und sich in Ruhestellung befindlichem Abstützelement 4b wird nach dem Hochfahren der Entleervorrichtung 1b in die Aufnahmeposition für den Behälter 2b (s. Figur 4) bei Erreichen der Aufnahmeposition durch den Drehwinkelgeber 13b ein Signal an die Steuereinheit 11 zum Öffnen der Magnetventile 14 gegeben. Das Abstützelement 4b wird durch sein Eigengewicht und den Druck der Zylinderkolbeneinheit 8b abgesenkt, bis die Arbeitsstellung erreicht ist, die in der Figur 5b dargestellt ist. Mit der Nase 38 liegt der Hebelarm 37b am Anschlag 9b an. Das Verriegelungselement 5b ist noch offen, weil das Abstützelement 4b durch das gegenüber dem Verriegelungselement 5b größere Gewicht als erstes Element der Kombination nach unten ausfährt. Bevor die Zylinderkolbeneinheit 8b Druck auf das Verriegelungselement 5b ausüben kann, gibt der Positionsmelder 10b den Befehl zum Schließen der Magnetventile 14, so daß das Verriegelungselement 5b in der Offenstellung verbleibt. Die Offenstellung des Verriegelungselementes wird durch den Positionsmelder 12b überwacht.From the driving position shown in FIG. 5a with the locking element open 5b and the rest element 4b which is in the rest position is after the raising of the emptying device 1b into the receiving position for the Container 2b (see FIG. 4) when the pickup position is reached by the rotary encoder 13b a signal to the control unit 11 for opening the solenoid valves 14 given. The support element 4b is by its own weight and the pressure of the cylinder-piston unit 8b is reduced until the working position is reached, which is shown in Figure 5b. The lever arm lies with the nose 38 37b at stop 9b. The locking element 5b is still open, because the support element 4b by the opposite of the locking element 5b greater weight as the first element of the combination extends downwards. Before the cylinder-piston unit 8b presses the locking element 5b can exercise, the position sensor 10b gives the command to close the Solenoid valves 14, so that the locking element 5b in the open position remains. The open position of the locking element is determined by the position detector 12b monitors.

Nachdem der Behälter 2b aufgenommen ist, wird die Entleervorrichtung weiter hochgeschwenkt in die Entleerungsposition. Auf diesem Wege wird bei Erreichen eines vorgegebenen Schwenkwinkels durch den Drehwinkelgeber 13b ein Signal an die Steuereinheit 11 zum Öffnen der Magnetventile 14 gegeben, wodurch das Verriegelungselement 5b geschlossen wird, um den Behälter 2b sicher zu entleeren. Die Zylinderkolbeneinheit 8b stützt sich dabei am Hebelarm 37b aufgrund des Anliegens am Anschlag 9b ab. Die geschlossene Stellung wird über den Drehwinkelgeber 13b oder einem eventuell weiteren Positionsmelder (nicht dargestellt) signalisiert und die Druckmittelzufuhr zur Zylinderkolbeneinheit 8b wird unterbrochen. In der Zylinderkolbeneinheit 8b bleibt der aufgebaute Druck erhalten, um damit die sichere Verriegelung des Behälters zu gewährleisten. Es ist auch möglich, die hydraulische Verriegelung durch geeignete mechanische Elemente zu sichern.After the container 2b is received, the emptying device continues pivoted up into the emptying position. This way, when reached a predetermined pivot angle by the rotary encoder 13b Given a signal to the control unit 11 for opening the solenoid valves 14, whereby the locking element 5b is closed to the container 2b safe to empty. The cylinder-piston unit 8b is supported on the lever arm 37b due to the abutment on the stop 9b. The closed position is via the angle encoder 13b or a possibly further position detector (not shown) signals and the pressure medium supply to the cylinder piston unit 8b is interrupted. Remains in the cylinder piston unit 8b The pressure built up is maintained to ensure the secure locking of the container to ensure. It is also possible to use hydraulic locking secure with suitable mechanical elements.

Beim Absenken der in Figur 4 gezeigten Entleervorrichtung 1b wird bei Erreichen des vorgegebenen Schwenkwinkels das Verriegelungselement 5b wieder in Offenstellung gebracht. In dieser geöffneten Stellung werden die Magnetventile 14 durch den Positionsmelder 12b geschlossen. Hierbei ergibt sich die umgekehrte Wirkungsweise gegenüber dem Absenken des Abtützelementes dadurch, daß das größere Gewicht des an dem Abstützelement ruhenden Behälters das Hochschwenken des Abstützelementes 4b verhindert und zunächst das Verriegelungselement 5b in Offenstellung gebracht werden kann. Der Positionsmelder 12b schaltet dann das Magnetventil 14 ab, bevor Kraft auf das Abstützelement 4b ausgeübt werden kann.When the emptying device 1b shown in FIG. 4 is lowered, when it is reached the predetermined pivot angle, the locking element 5b again brought into open position. The solenoid valves are in this open position 14 closed by the position indicator 12b. This results in the reverse mode of action compared to lowering the support element in that the greater weight of the container resting on the support element the pivoting of the support element 4b prevented and initially that Locking element 5b can be brought into the open position. The position detector 12b then turns off the solenoid valve 14 before force on the Support element 4b can be exercised.

Dem Bestreben des Abstützelementes 4b beim Öffnen des Verriegelungselementes 5b ebenfalls nach oben zu fahren, wirkt einerseits das Eigengewicht des Abstützelementes 4b und andererseits das Gewicht des aufgenommenen Behälters 2b entgegen.The effort of the support element 4b when opening the locking element 5b also driving upwards, on the one hand, the dead weight of the Support element 4b and on the other hand the weight of the container received 2b counter.

Wenn die Entleervorrichtung 1b die in Figur 3 dargestellte untere Stellung erreicht hat, gibt der Drehwinkelgeber ein Signal an die Steuereinheit 11 zum Öffnen der Magnetventile 14 und damit zum Anheben des Abstützelementes 4b. Dieser über dem Drehwinkelgeber 13b und die Steuereinheit 11 ablaufende Vorgang kann auch manuell über einen Wahlschalter ausgeführt werden. If the emptying device 1b the lower position shown in Figure 3 has reached, the rotary encoder sends a signal to the control unit 11 for Open the solenoid valves 14 and thus to raise the support element 4b. This one running over the angle encoder 13b and the control unit 11 The process can also be carried out manually using a selector switch.

Das Abstützelement 4b bzw. das Verriegelungselement 5b kann mit einer oder mehreren Zylinderkolbeneinheiten 8b im Sinne der Erfindung zusammenwirken. Dies hängt von der jeweiligen Breite der Entleervorrichtung ab. Die Kombination Abstützelement/Verriegelungselement kann an beliebigen Hubkipp-Vorrichtungen oder Kippvorrichtungen Verwendung finden.The support element 4b or the locking element 5b can be equipped with one or several cylinder piston units 8b cooperate in the sense of the invention. This depends on the width of the emptying device. The Combination support element / locking element can be used on any lifting and tipping devices or tilting devices are used.
