Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hubkipp- oder Kippvorrichtung zum Entleeren von Behältern in einen Sammelbehälter eines Müllfahrzeuges mit einem am Müllfahrzeug angeordneten Ausleger, an dessen freien Ende ein mit einer Aufnahmeeinrichtung zum Aufnehmen des Behälters versehener Aufnahmerahmen angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a lifting and tipping device for emptying containers into a collecting container of a garbage truck with a boom arranged on the garbage truck, at the free end of which a receiving frame provided with a receiving device for receiving the container is arranged.

Beim Entleeren von Behältern, insbesondere Müllbehältern, tritt das Problem auf, daß relativ viel Bedienungspersonal für Nebenarbeiten erforderlich ist, um die zu entleerenden Behälter von ihrem Standplatz zu holen, diese dann der am Sammelbehälter angebrachten Entleervorrichtung zu übergeben und den entleerten Behälter wieder zurückzubringen.When emptying containers, in particular garbage containers, the problem arises that a relatively large number of operating personnel is required for secondary work in order to get the containers to be emptied from their position, then to hand them over to the emptying device attached to the collecting container and to bring the emptied container back again.

Die Entleervorrichtungen können am Heck des Müllfahrzeugs oder an dessen Seitenwand angebracht sein. Im letzteren Fall spricht man von Seitenladern, bei denen der Fahrer des Müllfahrzeugs über eine entsprechende Steuerung die Hubkippvorrichtung an den am Straßenrand abgestellten Müllbehälter heranführt und diesen erfaßt. Hierbei muß mit großer Sorgfalt vorgegangen werden, damit beim Ausfahren der Hubkippvorrichtung der Behälter nicht umgestoßen wird. Außerdem setzt das problemlose Erfassen des Behälters voraus, daß der Behälter weitgehend parallel zum Fahrzeug ausgerichtet ist. Um auch nicht exakt ausgerichtete Behälter sicher erfassen zu können, wurde gemäß der EP 0 173 180 eine Aufnahmeeinrichtung geschaffen, die ein Pendeln, Drehen, Neigen und eine Seitenbewegung relativ zu dem sie tragenden Hubkipprahmen ermöglicht, um so das Greifen und Aufnehmen der Behälter zu erleichtern.The emptying devices can be attached to the rear of the garbage truck or to its side wall. In the latter case, one speaks of side loaders in which the driver of the refuse vehicle uses a corresponding control to bring the lifting and tipping device to the refuse container parked on the side of the road and detects it. Great care must be taken to ensure that the container is not knocked over when the lifting and tipping device is extended. In addition, the problem-free detection of the container requires that the container is aligned largely parallel to the vehicle. In order to be able to reliably detect containers that are not exactly aligned, a pick-up device has been created in accordance with EP 0 173 180, which enables oscillation, rotation, inclination and a lateral movement relative to the lifting and tilting frame, in order to facilitate gripping and picking up the containers .

Diese aus der EP 0 173 180 bekannte Vorrichtung, von der die vorliegende Erfindung ausgeht, weist an einer Seite des Müllfahrzeugs einen Ausleger auf, der zwei gelenkig miteinander verbundene Arme aufweist. Der untere Arm ist um eine zur Fahrtrichtung des Müllfahrzeugs parallele Achse schwenkbar am Fahrzeugrahmen angebracht und mit einer Zylinderkolbenanordnung verbunden, mittels derer der Arm aufwärts und abwärts schwenkbar ist. Der obere Arm ist um eine zur Fahrtrichtung des Müllfahrzeugs parallele Achse gelenkig am freien Ende des unteren Armes angebracht. Der obere Arm trägt an seinem freien Ende ein etwa rechtwinklig abgewinkeltes Endstück, an dessen freiem Ende ein Kipprahmen angeordnet ist, der auf der Oberseite eine Anbringungseinrichtung für Aufnahmeeinrichtungen sowie für Widerlagereinrichtungen aufweist. Die Anbringungs- und Einstelleinrichtung weist ein Aufnahme- und Widerlagereinrichtung tragendes Universalgelenk mit dem Hubkipprahmen oder Kipprahmen verbindende Seitenführung auf, die das Universalgelenk federnd in Mittelstellung hält. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß die Aufnahme- und Widerlagereinrichtungen sich nachgiebig an dem zu entleerenden Behälter anschmiegen können, wenn dieser Behälter in der einen oder anderen Richtung etwas schräg oder auch seitlich versetzt mit den Aufnahme- und Widerlagereinrichtungen der Hubkipp- oder Kippvorrichtung zusammengeführt wird. Durch die Beweglichkeit der Aufnahme- und Widerlagereinrichtungen bezüglich des Hubkipp- oder Kipprahmens kommt es auch bei etwas schräger oder etwas seitlich versetzter Zusammenführung zu einem sicheren Ineinandergreifen der am Behälter und an der Aufnahmeeinrichtung der Hubkippvorrichtung enthaltenen Elemente.This device known from EP 0 173 180, from which the present invention is based, has a boom on one side of the garbage truck, which has two articulated arms. The lower arm is pivotally attached to the vehicle frame about an axis parallel to the direction of travel of the refuse collection vehicle and is connected to a cylinder piston arrangement by means of which the arm can be pivoted upwards and downwards. The upper arm is articulated around an axis parallel to the direction of travel of the garbage truck at the free end of the lower arm. The upper arm carries at its free end an approximately right-angled end piece, at the free end of which a tilting frame is arranged, which has an attachment device for receiving devices and for abutment devices on the top. The attachment and setting device has a universal joint carrying a support and abutment device and a lateral guide connecting the lifting and tilting frame or tilting frame, which resiliently holds the universal joint in the central position. It is thereby achieved that the receiving and abutment devices can resiliently nestle against the container to be emptied if this container is merged somewhat obliquely in one direction or the other or offset laterally with the receiving and abutment devices of the lifting and tipping or tilting device. Due to the mobility of the receiving and abutment devices with respect to the lifting and tipping frame, there is a secure interlocking of the elements contained on the container and on the receiving device of the lifting and tilting device even in the case of a slightly oblique or slightly laterally offset merging.

Mit dieser bekannten Einrichtung können jedoch beliebig abgestellte Müllbehälter nicht an die Aufnahmeeinrichtung herangeholt werden und dort sicher fixiert werden. Bei leichten Behältern besteht bei dieser bekannten Vorrichtung das Problem, daß sie über die Räder weggeschoben werden und damit aus dem Wirkungsbereich der Aufnahme kommen.With this known device, however, any waste containers that have been parked cannot be brought up to the receiving device and can be securely fixed there. In the case of light containers, the problem with this known device is that they are pushed away over the wheels and thus come out of the effective range of the receptacle.

Aus der US 3,016,157 ist ein zusätzlicher Schwenkarm zum Beiholen des Müllbehälters bekannt, der um eine vertikale Achse schwenkbar ist. Der Schwenkarm weist eine Klammer auf, die in Haken am Bodenbereich des Behälters eingehängt werden muß. Hierzu muß der Schwenkarm durch Hochfahren bzw. Absenken der gesamten Aufnahme bewegt werden, damit die Klammer über die nach oben gerichteten Haken geführt werden kann. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, daß die Behälter zusätzliche Bauteile aufweisen müssen, um den Behälter erfassen zu können.From US 3,016,157 an additional swivel arm for catching up the garbage container is known, which is pivotable about a vertical axis. The swivel arm has a bracket that must be hooked into hooks on the bottom of the container. For this purpose, the swivel arm must be moved by raising or lowering the entire receptacle so that the clamp can be guided over the hooks pointing upwards. Another disadvantage is that the containers must have additional components in order to be able to grip the container.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Hubkippvorrichtung so weiterzuentwickeln, daß beliebig am Straßenrand abgestellte Behälter erfaßt und entleert werden kann.It is therefore an object of the invention to further develop a lifting and tipping device in such a way that containers parked at the side of the road can be detected and emptied.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen gemäß Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved with the features according to claim 1. Advantageous refinements are the subject of the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, daß im Bereich der Aufnahmeeinrichtung mindestens ein um eine horizontale Achse beweglicher Greifer zum Beiholen des zu entleerenden Behälters angeordnet ist.According to the invention, it is provided that at least one gripper movable about a horizontal axis is arranged in the region of the receiving device to bring the container to be emptied.

Hierbei kann der Greifer derart gelagert sein, daß sein freies Ende eine im wesentlichen kreisförmige Bewegung ausführt. Beim Ausfahren des Greifers wird das freie Ende auf einer kreisförmigen Bahn von der Aufnahmeeinrichtung weg nach unten bewegt, so daß der Greifer vorzugsweise unter dem Behälterrand zu liegen kommt. Ggf. kann die kreisförmige Bewegung mit einer vertikalen Bewegung zum leichteren Erfassen des Behälterrandes kombiniert sein. Beim Zurückbewegen wird der Behälter aufgrund der kreisförmigen Bewegung nicht nur beigezogen sondern auch geringfügig angehoben, wobei der Greifer so weit beigezogen wird, daß er vorzugsweise hinter die Aufnahmeeinrichtung schwenkbar ist, so daß er sich in seiner eingefahrenen Position hinter und über der Aufnahmeeinrichtung befindet. Damit ist es möglich, den Behälterrand über die Aufnahmeeinrichtung zu bewegen und den Behälterrand auf der Aufnahmeeinrichtung abzusetzen.The gripper can be mounted in such a way that its free end executes an essentially circular movement. When the gripper is extended, the free end is moved downwards in a circular path from the receiving device, so that the gripper preferably comes to rest under the container edge. Possibly. The circular movement can be combined with a vertical movement to make it easier to grasp the edge of the container. When moving back, the container is not only pulled in due to the circular movement but also slightly raised, the gripper being pulled in so far that it can preferably be pivoted behind the receiving device so that it is in its retracted position behind and above the receiving device located. It is thus possible to move the container edge over the receiving device and to set the container edge down on the receiving device.

Der Greifer ist vorzugsweise auf der dem Ausleger abgewandten Seite der Aufnahmeeinrichtung angeordnet. Die Bewegung des Greifers ist unabhängig von der Bewegung der Aufnahmeeinrichtung bzw. der gesamten Hubkippvorrichtung. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß der Greifer eine eigene Antriebseinrichtung aufweist, mit der er auf den Behälter zubewegt werden kann, um diesen an die Aufnahmeeinrichtung heranzuholen.The gripper is preferably arranged on the side of the receiving device facing away from the boom. The movement of the gripper is independent of the movement of the receiving device or the entire lifting and tipping device. This is achieved in that the gripper has its own drive device with which it can be moved towards the container in order to bring it to the receiving device.

Vorzugsweise ist der Greifer zum Erfassen des Randes des Müllbehälters ausgebildet. In der Regel ist der Behälterrand nach unten umgebogen und von der Unterseite her offen, so daß er mit diesem Rand auf die Aufnahmeeinrichtung, die vorzugsweise eine Kammschiene ist, aufgesetzt werden kann. Es bietet sich daher an, den Greifer auch am Behälterrand angreifen zu lassen, wozu er vorzugsweise mindestens einen nach oben ragenden Finger aufweist, der unter den Behälterrand greift. Der Greifer kann auch an anderen Bauteilen des Behälters angreifen, wenn diese sich zum Erfassen eignen.The gripper is preferably designed to grasp the edge of the refuse container. As a rule, the edge of the container is bent downwards and is open from the underside, so that it can be placed with this edge onto the receiving device, which is preferably a comb rail. It is therefore advisable to have the gripper also grasp the edge of the container, for which purpose it preferably has at least one finger that projects upwards and grips under the edge of the container. The gripper can also attack other components of the container if these are suitable for gripping.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann der Finger auch als kugelförmiges Element ausgebildet sein, was insbesondere dann von Vorteil ist, wenn der Behälter extrem schräg zur Aufnahmeeinrichtung ausgerichtet ist. Der Greifer greift mit dem Finger, bzw. dem kugelförmigen Element unter den Behälterrand, wobei vorzugsweise der Behälterrand und damit der gesamte Behälter geringfügig angehoben wird, so daß der Behälter nicht mehr auf dem Boden aufsitzt. Das Beiziehen des Behälters wird auf diese Weise erleichtert, insbesondere dann, wenn der Behälter mit Rollen versehen ist.According to a further embodiment, the finger can also be designed as a spherical element, which is particularly advantageous if the container is oriented extremely obliquely to the receiving device. The gripper grips with the finger or the spherical element under the container edge, preferably the container edge and thus the entire container being raised slightly so that the container is no longer seated on the floor. This makes it easier to draw in the container, particularly if the container is provided with rollers.

Anstelle eines oder mehrerer Finger, bzw. eines oder mehrerer kugelförmiger Elemente zum Untergreifen des Behälterrandes kann auch eine Greifzange vorgesehen sein, mit der der Behälterrand oder ein anderes Bauteil des Behälters ergriffen werden kann. Welche Ausgestaltung des Greifers gewählt wird, hängt von der Bauform der zu entleerenden Behälter ab.Instead of one or more fingers or one or more spherical elements for gripping under the container edge, gripping pliers can also be provided with which the container edge or another component of the container can be gripped. The design of the gripper depends on the design of the containers to be emptied.

Der Greifer kann entweder am Aufnahmerahmen angeordnet sein oder gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform am Schwenkarm, der zwischen dem Ausleger und der Aufnahmeeinrichtung der Hubkippvorrichtung angeordnet ist. Diese Ausführungsform des Greifers wird dann gewählt, wenn vorzugsweise die Aufnahmeeinrichtung höhenverstellbar an dem Schwenkarm angebracht ist.The gripper can either be arranged on the receiving frame or, according to a further embodiment, on the swivel arm, which is arranged between the boom and the receiving device of the lifting and tilting device. This embodiment of the gripper is selected when the receiving device is preferably attached to the swivel arm in a height-adjustable manner.

Damit die Aufnahmeeinrichtung die Bewegung des Greifers nicht behindert, ist diese vorzugsweise zweigeteilt ausgeführt. Wenn beispielsweise die Aufnahmeeinrichtung als Kammschiene ausgebildet ist, so besitzt diese zwei mit einem Zwischenraum nebeneinander angeordnete Elemente. Der Zwischenraum ist so groß gewählt, daß durch diesen Zwischenraum der Greifer in Richtung des Auslegers hindurchgreifen kann.So that the receiving device does not hinder the movement of the gripper, it is preferably designed in two parts. If, for example, the receiving device is designed as a comb rail, it has two elements arranged next to one another with a space. The space is chosen so large that the gripper can reach through this space in the direction of the boom.

Anstelle einer kreisförmigen Bewegung oder in Kombination mit einer kreisförmigen Bewegung kann der Greifer auch in horizontaler und/oder vertikaler Richtung bewegbar sein. Welcher Bewegungsablauf für das Heranholen des Behälters am günstigsten ist, hängt wiederum von der Bauform der zu entleerenden Behälter ab und ist an diese anzupassen.Instead of a circular movement or in combination with a circular movement, the gripper can also be movable in the horizontal and / or vertical direction. Which movement sequence is the cheapest for bringing the container in again depends on the design of the container to be emptied and must be adapted to this.

Damit der Greifer beim Heranführen an den zu entleerenden Behälter diesen nicht umwirft, ist der Greifer vorzugsweise in Schwenkrichtung federnd gelagert.So that the gripper does not knock it over when the container to be emptied is brought up, the gripper is preferably spring-mounted in the pivoting direction.

Der Greifer kann gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform auch in vertikaler Richtung federnd gelagert sein. Diese Ausführungsform ist insbesondere dann empfehlenswert, wenn der Greifer am Aufnahmerahmen befestigt ist. Wenn der Behälter vom Greifer beigeholt worden ist, wird zum Aufsetzen des Behälterrandes auf der Aufnahmeeinrichtung diese nach oben gefahren, wobei unter dem Gewicht des Behälters der Greifer gegenüber der Aufnahmeeinrichtung und gegen die Kraft der Feder nach unten gedrückt wird. Wenn der Greifer nicht am Aufnahmerahmen, sondern an dem Schwenkarm angeordnet ist, kann auf diese federnde Lagerung verzichtet werden, weil beim Hochfahren der Aufnahmeeinrichtung und während des Untergreifens des Behälterrandes der Greifer nicht mit nach oben bewegt wird.According to a further embodiment, the gripper can also be spring-mounted in the vertical direction. This embodiment is particularly then recommended if the gripper is attached to the mounting frame. When the container has been picked up by the gripper, the container edge is placed on the receiving device in order to set it up, the gripper being pressed down against the receiving device and against the force of the spring under the weight of the container. If the gripper is not arranged on the receiving frame but on the swivel arm, this resilient mounting can be dispensed with because the gripper is not moved upwards when the receiving device is raised and when the container edge is reached under it.

Beispielhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung werden nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnungen naher erläutert.Exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

In der Figur 1 ist ein Müllfahrzeug 2 mit einer Fahrerkabine 3 und einem Sammelbehälter 6 in Seitenansicht dargestellt. Hinter der Fahrerkabine 3 ist die als Seitenlader ausgebildete Hubkippvorrichtung 10 angeordnet, über der sich die Einschüttöffnung 6 des Sammelbehälters 4 befindet. Die Hubkippvorrichtung 10 ist an einem Ausleger 12 (s. Figur 3) befestigt, der in Form eines in horizontaler Richtung aus dem Fahrzeug 2 herausfahrbaren Armes ausgebildet ist. In der Figur 3 ist lediglich der Fahrzeugrahmen 8 als Bauteil des Fahrzeuges 2 eingezeichnet.1 shows a side view of a refuse collection vehicle 2 with a driver's cab 3 and a collecting container 6. Behind the driver's cab 3 there is arranged the lift-and-tilt device 10, which is designed as a side loader and above which the pouring opening 6 of the collecting container 4 is located. The lifting and tilting device 10 is fastened to a boom 12 (see FIG. 3) which is designed in the form of an arm which can be moved out of the vehicle 2 in the horizontal direction. In Figure 3, only the vehicle frame 8 is shown as a component of the vehicle 2.

Am freien Ende des Auslegers 12 befindet sich die Hubkippvorrichtung 10, die im oberen Bereich zwei Kippdruckmittelzylinder 22 aufweist. Diese Kippdruckmittelzylinder 22 sind an einem Schwenkarm 38 angelenkt, der im wesentlichen zwei vertikal ausgerichtete Führungsstangen 15 aufweist, auf denen Gleitbuchsen 17 verschiebbar gelagert sind. An diesen Gleitbuchsen 17 ist ein Aufnahmerahmen 16 befestigt, der mittels Hubdruckmittelzylinder 14 in vertikaler Richtung verschoben werden kann. Am Aufnahmerahmen 16 ist die Aufnahmeeinrichtung 18 in Form einer zweigeteilten Kammschiene 18a, b angeordnet. Zwischen den beiden Elementen 18a, b der Aufnahmeeinrichtung ist ein Zwischenraum 19 vorgesehen, in dem sich der Greifer 24 in seiner Ruhestellung befindet. Unterhalb der Aufnahmerichtung und des Greifers 24 ist noch ein Widerlager 20 am Aufnahmerahmen 16 angeordnet.At the free end of the boom 12 is the lifting and tilting device 10, which has two tilting pressure medium cylinders 22 in the upper region. These tilting pressure medium cylinders 22 are articulated on a swivel arm 38, which essentially has two vertically aligned guide rods 15, on which sliding bushes 17 are displaceably mounted. A mounting frame 16 is fastened to these sliding bushes 17 and can be displaced in the vertical direction by means of a stroke pressure medium cylinder 14. The receiving device 18 is arranged on the receiving frame 16 in the form of a two-part comb rail 18a, b. An intermediate space 19 is provided between the two elements 18a, b of the receiving device, in which the gripper 24 is in its rest position. An abutment 20 is arranged on the receiving frame 16 below the receiving direction and the gripper 24.

Unterhalb der Kippdruckmittelzylinder 22 ist eine Verriegelungsleiste 9 angeordnet, die mit der Aufnahmeeinrichtung nach dem Hochfahren der Aufnahmeeinrichtung zum Fixieren des aufgenommenen Behälters 1 zusammenwirkt.A locking bar 9 is arranged below the tilting pressure medium cylinder 22 and interacts with the receiving device after the receiving device has been raised to fix the received container 1.

Der Greifer 24 ist - wie in den Figuren 2 und 3 ersichtlich ist - um eine horizontale Schwenkachse 28 schwenkbar gelagert, so daß er von der Aufnahmeeinrichtung aus seiner in der Figur 2 gezeigten Ruheposition weggeschwenkt werden kann, um einen zu entleerenden Behälter 1 an die Aufnahmeeinrichtung heranzuholen. An der Schwenkachse 28 ist eine Feder 36 vorgesehen, die ein begrenztes Zurückschwenken des Greifers 24 in seiner ausgefahrenen Position beim Anstoßen an einen zu entleerenden Behälter ermöglicht.The gripper 24 is - as can be seen in Figures 2 and 3 - pivoted about a horizontal pivot axis 28 so that it can be pivoted away from the rest position shown in Figure 2 from the receiving device to a container 1 to be emptied to the receiving device fetch up. A spring 36 is provided on the pivot axis 28, which allows the gripper 24 to pivot back in its extended position when it hits a container to be emptied.

Wie in der Figur 3 zu sehen ist, besteht der Greifer 24 in der hier gezeigten Ausführungsform aus einem Hebel, der einen kurzen Schenkel 32 und einen langen Schenkel 34 aufweist. Hierbei ist der lange Schenkel 34 unter einem bestimmten Winkel abgeknickt und trägt an seinem freien Ende einen Finger 26 zum Untergreifen des Behälterrandes 5 (s. Figur 4). Der kurze Schenkel 32 ist an seinem freien Ende an einer Antriebseinrichtung 30 in Form eines Druckmittelmotors angelenkt. Durch das Aus- und Einfahren des Druckmittelmotors 30 wird der Greifer 24 um seine horizontal angeordnete Schwenkachse 28 verschwenkt, wobei der Finger 26 eine kreisförmige Bewegung ausführt, wie dies in den Figuren 5a und 5b schematisch dargestellt ist. In der Figur 3 sind die beiden Endstellungen (ausgefahrene Position und Ruheposition) des Greifers 24 dargestellt. In seiner Ruheposition befindet sich der Greifer in der hier gezeigten Ausführungsform mit seinem langen Schenkel 34 hinter der Aufnahmeeinrichtung 18, wobei der Finger 26 sich geringfügig oberhalb der Aufnahmeeinrichtung 18 befindet.As can be seen in FIG. 3, the gripper 24 in the embodiment shown here consists of a lever which has a short leg 32 and a long leg 34. Here, the long leg 34 is bent at a certain angle and carries a finger 26 at its free end for reaching under the container edge 5 (see FIG. 4). The short leg 32 is articulated at its free end to a drive device 30 in the form of a pressure medium motor. By extending and retracting the pressure medium motor 30, the gripper 24 is pivoted about its horizontally arranged pivot axis 28, the finger 26 executing a circular movement, as is shown schematically in FIGS. 5a and 5b. In Figure 3, the two end positions (extended position and rest position) of the gripper 24 are shown. In the rest position, the gripper in the embodiment shown here is located with its long leg 34 behind the receiving device 18, the finger 26 being located slightly above the receiving device 18.

Die Funktion des Greifers 24 ist in der Figur 4 gezeigt. In seiner ausgefahrenen Position erfaßt der Greifer 24 mit seinem Finger 26 den Rand 5 des zu entleerenden Behälters 1. Aufgrund seiner Schwenkbewegung wird der Behälter geringfügig angehoben und liegt nur noch mit seinen Rädern 40 auf dem Erdboden auf. Aufgrund der kreisförmigen Bewegung des Greifers 24 wird der Rand 5 über die Aufnahmeeeinrichtung 18 angehoben, was durch die gestrichelte Darstellung des Behälters 1 angedeutet ist. Wenn der Greifer 24, wie hier in der Figur 4 gezeigt ist, am Aufnahmerahmen 16 schwenkbar gelagert ist, sollte er vorzugsweise im Bereich der Schwenkachse 28, wie in der Figur 5b gezeigt ist, in vertikaler Richtung federnd gelagert sein. Beim Hochfahren des Hubrahmens 16 drückt der Behälter den Greifer 24 dann nämlich so weit nach unten, bis die Aufnahmeeinrichtung 18 den Behälterrand 5 vollständig untergriffen hat.The function of the gripper 24 is shown in FIG. 4. In its extended position, the gripper 24 grips the edge 5 of the container 1 to be emptied with its finger 26. Because of its pivoting movement, the container is raised slightly and only has its wheels 40 on the ground. Due to the circular movement of the gripper 24 the edge 5 is raised above the receiving device 18, which is indicated by the broken line of the container 1. If, as shown here in FIG. 4, the gripper 24 is pivotably mounted on the receiving frame 16, it should preferably be spring-mounted in the vertical direction in the region of the pivot axis 28, as shown in FIG. 5b. When the lifting frame 16 is raised, the container then presses the gripper 24 downwards until the receiving device 18 has completely reached under the container edge 5.

In der Figur 5a und in der Figur 5b ist die Bewegung des Greifers 24 schematisch dargestellt. Der Finger 26 am freien Ende des Greifers 24 bewegt sich auf einer Kreisbahn K, wobei diese Kreisbahn so gewählt ist, daß der Finger 26 beim Zurückschwenken sich oberhalb der Aufnahmeeinrichtung 18 befindet, damit der Behälterrand über die Aufnahmeeinrichtung 18 gezogen werden kann. Wie bereits im Zusammenhang mit der Figur 4 erläutert wurde, ist die Schwenkachse 28 in der Figur 5b in vertikaler Richtung federnd gelagert, so daß beim Hochfahren des Hubrahmens 16 der Greifer 24 unter der Last des gefüllten zu entleerenden Behälters nach unten ausweichen kann, wobei der Finger 26 die Kreisbahn K verläßt.The movement of the gripper 24 is shown schematically in FIG. 5a and in FIG. 5b. The finger 26 at the free end of the gripper 24 moves on a circular path K, this circular path being selected such that the finger 26 is above the receiving device 18 when pivoting back so that the container edge can be pulled over the receiving device 18. As has already been explained in connection with Figure 4, the pivot axis 28 in Figure 5b is resiliently mounted in the vertical direction, so that when the lifting frame 16 is raised, the gripper 24 can move downward under the load of the filled container to be emptied, the Finger 26 leaves the circular path K.

In der Figur 6 ist die Einkippstellung des Behälter 1 dargestellt. Hierbei wird der Behälter 1 von der Aufnahmeeinrichtung 18 im Zusammenwirken mit der Verriegelungsleiste 9 gehalten. Während des Entleervorgangs befindet sich der Greifer 24 in dem Zwischenraum 19 zwischen den beiden Elementen der Aufnahmeeinrichtung 18a, 18b.FIG. 6 shows the tipping position of the container 1. Here, the container 1 is held by the receiving device 18 in cooperation with the locking bar 9. During the emptying process, the gripper 24 is located in the intermediate space 19 between the two elements of the receiving device 18a, 18b.
