Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtung für Müllsammelfahrzeuge gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a lifting-tilting device for refuse collection vehicles according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die Konstruktionsteile bekannter Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtungen bestehen üblicher Weise aus Eisen und zusammengeschweißten Eisenteilen. Solche Eisenteile und zusammengeschweißte Teileinheiten sind teuer in der Herstellung, haben ein hohen Gewicht und sind wegen des hohen Gewichtes schwer zu montieren, und benötigen ebenfalls wegen des hohen Gewichtes große Hydraulikdruckzylinder und große Hydraulikdrücke und dadurch auch viel Betätigungsenergie.The construction parts of known lift-and-tilt devices conventionally consist of iron and welded iron parts. Such iron parts and welded-together subunits are expensive to manufacture, have a high weight and are difficult to assemble because of their heavy weight, and because of their heavy weight they also require large hydraulic pressure cylinders and large hydraulic pressures, and thus also a lot of actuation energy.

Die US-A-5 711 565 zeigt eine Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtung für Müllsammelfahrzeuge der in Rede stehanden art mit Greifarmen aus in einer einzigen Extrusion extrudiertem Aluminium zum Umgreifen eines Müllbehälters. Die Greifarme sind an Platten befestigt, die ihrerseits an Schwenkbolzen starr befestigt sind. Die FR-A-0 988-541 schlägt zur Gewichtsminimierung vor, Trägerstangen so leicht wie möglich zu machen, beispielsweise aus Verbundmaterial oder durchbrochenem Metall oder aus einer leichten Legierung. Die DE-B-1 128 802 offenbart eine schwenkbare Platte aus Aluminium, an welcher Aufhängehaken aus Stahl für Mülltonnen befestigt sind.US-A-5 711 565 shows a lift-and-tilt device for refuse collection vehicles of the type in question with gripping arms of extruded aluminum in a single extrusion for gripping a refuse container. The gripping arms are attached to plates, which in turn are rigidly secured to pivot pins. FR-A-0 988-541 proposes, for weight minimization, to make support bars as light as possible, for example of composite material or perforated metal or of a light alloy. DE-B-1 128 802 discloses a pivotal plate made of aluminum, to which steel suspension hooks for garbage cans are attached.

Durch die Erfindung soll die Aufgabe gelöst werden, eine Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtung für Müllsammelfahrzeuge derart auszubilden, dass sie ein niedrigeres Gewicht hat und eine schwächere Hydraulikanlage als vom Stand der Technik verwendet werden kann.By the invention, the object to be solved, a lift-tilt device for refuse collection vehicles form such that it has a lower weight and a weaker hydraulic system than can be used by the prior art.

Dadurch wird das Gewicht der Hup-Kipp-Vorrichtung wesentlich reduziert, der Montageaufwand wird verringert, und die zum Bewegen der einzelnen Teile der Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtung erforderliches Energie wird reduziert. Die Energie zum Antrieb der Vorrichtung wird normalerweise dem Fahrantriebmotor entnommen. Durch die nahtlos einstückige Formung der Konstruktionsteile wird die Herstellung wesentlich vereinfacht und verbilligt.By the invention weight heavy structural parts and weldments are avoided. As a result, the weight of the Hup-tilting device is substantially reduced, the assembly effort is reduced, and the energy required to move the individual parts of the lift-and-tilt device is reduced. The power to drive the device is normally taken from the traction drive motor. The seamless one-piece shaping of the construction parts, the production is much easier and cheaper.

Die Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtung nach der Erfindung kann bei Müllsammelfahrzeugen frontseitig, auf einer Längsseite oder auf der Rückseite angeordnet werden, je nach dem ob das Müllsammelfahrzeug ein Frontlader, Seitenlader oder Hecklader ist.The lift-tilt device according to the invention can be arranged at the front, on one longitudinal side or on the back of refuse collection vehicles, depending on whether the refuse collection vehicle is a front loader, side loader or rear loader.

Solche Konstruktionsteile können aus einer Legierung oder aus einer Zusammensetzung von mehreren Materialien bestehen, die zu einem einstückigen nahtlos geformten Körper ineinander vermischt sind. Bei solchen Misch-Körpern gilt als spezifisches Gewicht der Mittelwert der verwendeten Materialien, so daß ein bestimmtes Volumen dieses Misch-Materials oder dieser Legierung ein kleineres Gewicht hat als ein gleich großer Körper aus Eisen, der das gleiche Volumen hat (Materialinhalt).At least one pivot arm and a rotatably connected together with this pivot shaft are integrally formed seamlessly from a material whose weight, in particular its specific gravity, is lower than the weight, in particular the specific gravity of iron. Such structural members may be made of an alloy or of a composite of a plurality of materials blended together to form a one-piece, seamlessly-shaped body. In such mixed bodies, the specific gravity used is the mean value of those used Materials, so that a certain volume of this mixed material or alloy has a smaller weight than an equal size body of iron, which has the same volume (material content).

Gemäß bevorzugten Ausführungsformen der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß das Material ein Material aus der folgenden Gruppe von Materialien ist: Aluminium, Aluminiumlegierung, Kunststoff, Kunststoff-Verbundmaterial, Kohlefasern, Kohlefasern-Verbundmaterial, faserverstärktes Kunststoffmaterial, insbesondere kohlefasernverstärktes Kunststoffmaterial.

These structural parts are preferably produced in one piece by injection molding. Other suitable methods may include non-cutting shaping methods, e.g. Sintering process, and be cutting processes.

Bei beiden Ausführungsformen nach der Erfindung ist mindestens ein Schwenkarm, vorzugsweise zwei Schwenkarme 2 und 4 vorgesehen, die mit einem Grundkörper 6 um eine horizontale Schwenkachse 8 schwenkbar verbunden sind. Die Schwenkarme 2 und 4 bestehen je aus einem einstückig nahtlos geformten Teil aus einem Material oder Materialgemisch oder Legierung mit niedrigerem Gewicht als Eisen.In both embodiments according to the invention, at least one pivot arm, preferably two pivot arms 2 and 4 are provided, which are pivotally connected to a base body 6 about a horizontal pivot axis 8. The pivot arms 2 and 4 each consist of an integrally seamless molded part of a material or material mixture or alloy with lower weight than iron.

Die Schwenkachse 8 ist durch eine Schwenkwelle oder Schwenkzapfen 10 definiert, welche mit dem Schwenkarm 2 bzw. 4 drehfest verbunden ist und zusammen mit diesem ein einstückig nahtlos geformtes Teil aus einem Material mit niedrigerem Gewicht als Eisen ist.The pivot axis 8 is defined by a pivot shaft or pivot pin 10, which is rotatably connected to the pivot arm 2 and 4 and together with this is a one-piece seamlessly shaped part of a material with a lower weight than iron.

Die Schwenkwelle 10 kann eine durch beide Schwenkarme 2 und 4 hindurchgehende Welle sein oder eine geteilte Welle entsprechend den Zeichnungen.The pivot shaft 10 may be a passing through both pivot arms 2 and 4 shaft or a split shaft according to the drawings.

Der Grundkörper 6 hat die Form eines Rahmens oder Gehäuses und ist vorzugsweise ebenfalls ein einstückig nahtlos geformtes Teil aus einem Material mit niedrigerem Gewicht als Eisen.The base body 6 is in the form of a frame or housing and is preferably also an integrally seamless molded part of a lower weight material than iron.

Ein Hubwagen 12 ist in einem Rahmen 13 durch die Hydraulikanlage, von welcher nur Druckzylinder 14 gezeigt sind, hydraulisch vertikal bewegbar mit den Schwenkarmen 2, 4 an einer von deren Schwenkachse 8 entfernten Stelle verbunden.A lift truck 12 is connected in a frame 13 by the hydraulic system, of which only pressure cylinder 14 are shown, hydraulically vertically movable with the pivot arms 2, 4 at a location remote from the pivot axis 8 point.

Der Hubwagen 12 ist vorzugsweise ein einstückig nahtlos geformtes Teil aus einem Material mit niedrigerem Gewicht als Eisen.The lift truck 12 is preferably an integrally seamless molded part of a lower weight material than iron.

Am Hubwagen 12 ist ein Behälteraufnahmemittel in Form eines Aufnahmekammes 16 vorgesehen, der nach oben ragende Kammfinger 18 aufweist. Diese können durch Anheben des Hubwagens 12 von unten nach oben in eine Haltevorrichtung eines Müllbehälters eingreifen und den Müllbehälter anheben. Vorzugsweise ist auch eine Klemmleiste oder ein Klemmleistenkamm 20 vorgesehen zum Verriegeln der Haltevorrichtung des Müllbehälters zwischen dieser Klemmleiste und dem Aufnahmekamm 16. Der Aufnahmekamm 16 einerseits und die Klemmleiste 20 andererseits bestehen vorzugsweise je aus einem nahtlos einstückig geformten Teil aus einem Material mit niedrigerem Gewicht als Eisen.On lifting truck 12, a container receiving means in the form of a receiving comb 16 is provided, which has upwardly projecting comb fingers 18. These can intervene by lifting the lift truck 12 from bottom to top in a holding device of a refuse container and lift the bin. Preferably, a terminal block or a terminal block comb 20 is provided for locking the holding device of the refuse container between this terminal block and the receiving comb 16. The receiving comb 16 on the one hand and the terminal block 20 on the other hand preferably each consist of a seamless integrally molded part of a material with a lower weight than iron ,

Die Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtung von Fig.1 ist vorzugsweise für die gleichzeitige Aufnahme und Entleerung von zwei Müllbehältern ausgebildet. Entsprechend hat sie nicht nur eine, sondern zwei Behälterauflageplatten 22 und 24 am Hubwagen 12, auf welchen die Müllbehälter aufliegen können während der Kippbewegung. Diese Behälterauflageplatten 22, 24 bestehen vorzugsweise ebenfalls aus einem nahtlos einstückig geformten Teil aus einem Material mit niedrigerem Gewicht als Eisen.The lift-tilt device of Figure 1 is preferably designed for the simultaneous recording and emptying of two garbage containers. Accordingly, it has not one, but two container support plates 22 and 24 on the truck 12, on which the refuse containers can rest during the tilting movement. These container support plates 22, 24 also preferably consist of a seamless integrally molded part of a lower weight material than iron.

Am Hubwagen 12 ist beidseitig des Aufnahmekammes 16 je ein Tragarm 26 bzw. 28 starr befestigt, welcher von dem Hubwagen 12 nach außen wegragt und an seinem vom Hubwagen 12 entfernten Ende als Aufnahmeklaue 30 zur Aufnahme der Haltevorrichtung von Müllbehältern ausgebildet ist. Die Tragarme 26 und 28 sind jeweils einstückig nahtlos geformte Teile aus einem Material mit niedrigerem Gewicht als Eisen. Die beiden Tragarme 26 und 28 dienen zur Aufnahme von Müllbehältern, welche wesentlich größer sind als die Müllbehälter, welche von dem Aufnahmekamm 16 tragbar sind. Die Tragarme 26 und 28 können an dem Hubwagen12 entsprechend Fig.1 starr oder entsprechend Fig.2 um eine Gelenkachse schwenkbar befestigt sein.On lifting truck 12 is on both sides of the receiving comb 16 each have a support arm 26 and 28 rigidly mounted, which protrudes from the truck 12 to the outside and is formed at its end remote from the truck 12 as a receiving claw 30 for receiving the holding device of refuse containers. The support arms 26 and 28 are each integrally seamlessly molded from a lower weight material than iron. The two support arms 26 and 28 serve to receive refuse containers, which are substantially larger than the refuse containers, which are portable by the receiving comb 16. The support arms 26 and 28 may be fixed to the lift truck 12 according to FIG. 1 rigidly or according to FIG. 2 pivotably about a hinge axis.

Der Unterschied von Fig.2 gegenüber von Fig.1 besteht darin, daß in Fig.2 zwei Hubwagen 12-1 und 12-2 nebeneinander angeordnet, die je über Gelenkarme 36 mit Schwenkarmen 2 und 4 durch Gelenke 38 schwenkbar verbunden sind, die Parallelogrammlenker bilden. Dadurch können die beiden Hubwagen 12-1 und 12-2 wahlweise gemeinsam oder getrennt vertikal angehoben werden durch mindestens einen Hydraulikzylinder 40 der Hydraulikanlage, und dann einzeln oder getrennt nach oben geschwenkt werden zum Kippen von Müllbehältern, je nach Ausführungsform der Hydraulikanlage und der elektrischen Steuereinrichtung (nicht gezeigt).The difference of Figure 2 compared to Figure 1 is that in Figure 2 two pallet trucks 12-1 and 12-2 arranged side by side, which are each pivotally connected via articulated arms 36 with pivot arms 2 and 4 by joints 38, the Parallelogrammlenker form. Thereby, the two trucks 12-1 and 12-2 can optionally be raised together or separately vertically by at least one hydraulic cylinder 40 of the hydraulic system, and then individually or separately pivoted upwards for tilting garbage containers, depending on the embodiment of the hydraulic system and the electrical control device (Not shown).

Demgemäß ist für jeden Hubwagen 12-1 und 12-2 ein eigener Aufnahmekamm 16-1 bzw. 16-2 vorgesehen.Accordingly, a separate receiving comb 16-1 or 16-2 is provided for each lift truck 12-1 and 12-2.

Von den beiden Tragarmen 26 und 28 ist je einer am einen Hubwagen 12-1 und der andere am anderen Hubwagen 12-2 befestigt. Die Befestigung ist vorzugsweise nicht starr, sondern durch ein Gelenk 42 schwenkbar, vorzugsweise um eine vertikale Schwenkachse. Damit können sie in eine gegeneinander gerichtete Fahrzeug-Fahrstellung geklappt werden oder in eine von den beiden Hubwagen 12-1 und 12-2 nach außen wegragende Stellung zur Aufnahme eines Müllbehälters, welcher größer ist als ein Müllbehälter, der von einem der beiden Aufnahmekämme 16-1 oder 16-2 tragbar ist. Zum Anheben und Kippen eines großen Müllbehälters für dessen Entleerung durch die Tragarme 16 und 28 (Kipparme) müssen beide Hubwagen 12-1 und 12-2 gemeinsam zuerst vertikal angehoben und dann gemeinsam nach oben gekippt werden.Of the two support arms 26 and 28, one is attached to a pallet truck 12-1 and the other on the other pallet truck 12-2. The attachment is preferably not rigid, but pivotable by a hinge 42, preferably about a vertical pivot axis. Thus, they can be folded in a mutually directed vehicle driving position or in a from the two trucks 12-1 and 12-2 outwardly projecting position for receiving a refuse container, which is larger than a refuse container, which is portable by one of the two receiving combs 16-1 or 16-2. For lifting and tilting a large refuse container for its emptying by the support arms 16 and 28 (Kipparme) both trucks 12-1 and 12-2 must be raised together first vertically and then tilted together upwards.

Anstelle einer einzigen Klemmleiste sind zwei in Längsrichtungen nacheinander angeordnete Klemmleisten 20-1 und 20-2 vorgesehen.Instead of a single terminal strip two successively arranged in longitudinal directions terminal strips 20-1 and 20-2 are provided.

Auch in Fig.2 können beide Hubwagen 12-1 und 12-2 gleichzeitig angehoben und gekippt werden zur gleichzeitigen Entleerung von Müllbehältern.Also in Figure 2 both trucks 12-1 and 12-2 can be raised and tilted simultaneously for the simultaneous emptying of garbage containers.

In dem als Rahmen oder Gehäuse ausgebildeten Grundkörper 6 können oben im Einkippbereich der Behälter Behälterrückhalteelemente 44-1 und 44-2 befestigt sein, die ein Hindurchpendeln der Müllbehälter verhindern oder bremsen.In the base body 6 designed as a frame or housing, container retention elements 44-1 and 44-2 can be fastened at the top in the tipping area of the containers, which prevent or brake the bins from swirling through.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 sind einander entsprechende Teile mit gleichen Bezugszahlen versehen, wobei sie in Fig.2 mit einer Zusatzzahl "-1" bzw."-2" versehen sind, wenn in Fig.2 Teile doppelt vorhanden sind gegenüber Fig.1In Figures 1 and 2 corresponding parts are provided with the same reference numerals, wherein they are provided in Figure 2 with an additional number "-1" or "- 2", if in Figure 2 parts are double compared to Fig.1

Die Figuren 4-6 zeigen eine Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtung 50 gemäß der Erfindung an einem Müllsammelfahrzeug 52 und deneben einen Müllbehälter 54.Figures 4-6 show a lift-tilt device 50 according to the invention on a refuse collection vehicle 52 and just a refuse container 54.
