- control means prefferably designed in such a manner that the entire loading cycle has to be controlled manually, in which case the detection member only gives a signal to stop the movement of the lifting arm when it signals the presence of a refuse container 9 and checks whether the refuse container 9 has been gripped correctly.
- the detection member may also have these functions if the control means are designed in such a manner that the entire loading cycle takes place automatically, in which case the refuse collection vehicle is equipped with a container recognition system, with the aid of which the gripping device is automatically guided towards a refuse container 9 which is to be emptied.
- the detection member may therefore have four functions:
- the detection member may be any detection member which is suitable for the purpose, but is preferably a detection member which operates contactlessly, such as an infrared or ultrasonic detection member or a detection member which contains a laser.
- a contactlessly operating detection member has the advantage that when the loading device approaches a refuse container which is to be emptied, the loading device is prevented from coming into contact with the refuse container and pushing it away or over, in which latter case the refuse container can no longer be picked up and, in addition, refuse may fall out of the container, resulting in environmental pollution.
- the detection member is arranged on the gripping device in such a manner that it is ensured that the arms always engage around the container when the presence of a refuse container to be emptied is signalled. Also, the position of the detection member is such that good signalling is ensured even in the event of any inclined position of a refuse container which is to be emptied (cf. Fig. 6).
- the control means preferably also comprise a safety knob (so-called “hold-to-run” knob), which has to be operated by the driver 19 in order for it to be possible for automatic control of the side loader to operate.
- a safety knob so-called "hold-to-run” knob
- the driver 19 detects a possible hazardous situation on the monitor 18 in the working area of the side loader which is monitored by the camera 17 or faults in the operation of the side loader, he can immediately stop the loading device by releasing the safety knob.
- a detection member for signalling the presence of a refuse container in the working area of a gripper member may, of course, also be used on side loaders with a different type of gripping device, and if appropriate on a different type of loading device, such as for example a crane jib with gripping device.

lifting arm 10 and second drive means (not shown) for moving thegripper arms - The control means preferably comprise a television camera 17 which is arranged on the
compression device 5 and is designed in such a manner that it covers the entire working area of the side loader, as shown in the drawing. The picture which is taken in this way is transmitted via connecting cables or the like (not shown) to amonitor 18 which is arranged in thecab 3 in the field of view of thedriver 19 of the vehicle. Thedriver 19 in thecab 3 can thus survey the entire working area of theside loader 8 on themonitor 18. The cab furthermore contains a so-calledjoystick 20, which thedriver 19 can use to manually control theside loader 8. - In the refuse collection vehicle according to the invention, the

sensors 25 and 26 which are each mounted on L-shaped arms support part 12 and extend on either side of thesupport part 12. The twosensors 25 and 26 are in this case directed towards one another. However, it is also possible to use only onesensor 25 or 26. If appropriate, this onesensor 25 or 26 may be combined with a mirror which is arranged in place of the other sensor. - Apart from the position of the detection member, the gripping devices shown in Figs. 2 and 3, Figs. 4 and 5 and Fig. 6 are of identical design. The structure of these gripping devices, which varies slightly from that shown in Fig. 1 will be explained in more detail below with reference to Fig. 2.
- Each of the two
flexible belts outer arm part inner arm parts - The gripping devices comprise two hydraulic cylinders (indicated by dot-
dashed lines gripper arms cylinders support part 12 atpivot points inner arm parts pivot points pivot points pivot points inner arm parts - Furthermore,
coupling rods support part 12 and theouter arm parts inner arm parts coupling rods outer arm parts - The drive mechanism of the
gripper arms hydraulic cylinders coupling rods gripper arms outer arm parts gripper arms - The control means may be designed in such a manner that, in order to grip, pick up, empty into the
loading container 5 and put back down arefuse container 9, thegripping device 11 first has to be moved towards therefuse container 9 which is to be emptied by manual control by thedriver 19, and when the detection member signals the presence of thecorresponding refuse container 9, the movement of thelifting arm 10 is stopped, thegripper arms refuse container 9, and the further movements of thelifting arm 10 for picking up, emptying and putting back down therefuse container 9 proceed automatically. - The control means may also be designed in such a manner that, after the
driver 19 has moved thegripping device 11 towards therefuse container 9 which is to be emptied by manual control and the detection member has signalled the presence of therefuse container 9 and the movement of thelifting arm 10 has stopped, thedriver 19 has to move thegripper arms refuse container 9 has been gripped correctly and gives a signal for the rest of the loading cycle to take place automatically. - It is also possible for the control means to be designed in such a manner that the entire loading cycle has to be controlled manually, in which case the detection member only gives a signal to stop the movement of the lifting arm when it signals the presence of a
refuse container 9 and checks whether therefuse container 9 has been gripped correctly. - The detection member may also have these functions if the control means are designed in such a manner that the entire loading cycle takes place automatically, in which case the refuse collection vehicle is equipped with a container recognition system, with the aid of which the gripping device is automatically guided towards a
refuse container 9 which is to be emptied. - The detection member may therefore have four functions:
- 1.Giving a signal to start that part of the loading cycle which takes place automatically (change from manual control to automatic control).
- 2.Giving a signal to stop the movement of the lifting arm to prevent the possibility of the refuse container which is to be emptied being pushed over.
- 3.Checking whether the refuse container which is to be emptied has been gripped correctly by the gripping device.
- 4.Checking the correct position of the gripper arms if the detection member is designed with a transmitter and a receiver on the gripper arms (for example in the embodiments shown in Figs. 4 and 5).
-
- The detection member may be any detection member which is suitable for the purpose, but is preferably a detection member which operates contactlessly, such as an infrared or ultrasonic detection member or a detection member which contains a laser. A contactlessly operating detection member has the advantage that when the loading device approaches a refuse container which is to be emptied, the loading device is prevented from coming into contact with the refuse container and pushing it away or over, in which latter case the refuse container can no longer be picked up and, in addition, refuse may fall out of the container, resulting in environmental pollution.
- Furthermore, the detection member is arranged on the gripping device in such a manner that it is ensured that the arms always engage around the container when the presence of a refuse container to be emptied is signalled. Also, the position of the detection member is such that good signalling is ensured even in the event of any inclined position of a refuse container which is to be emptied (cf. Fig. 6).
- The control means preferably also comprise a safety knob (so-called "hold-to-run" knob), which has to be operated by the
driver 19 in order for it to be possible for automatic control of the side loader to operate. As soon as thedriver 19 detects a possible hazardous situation on themonitor 18 in the working area of the side loader which is monitored by the camera 17 or faults in the operation of the side loader, he can immediately stop the loading device by releasing the safety knob. - In the preceding text, the invention has been described with reference to a side loader with a specific type of gripping device.
- A detection member for signalling the presence of a refuse container in the working area of a gripper member may, of course, also be used on side loaders with a different type of gripping device, and if appropriate on a different type of loading device, such as for example a crane jib with gripping device.
