Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Greifarm nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie ein Entsorgungsfahrzeug umfassend einen solchen Greifarm nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 4.The invention relates to a gripper arm according to the preamble of claim 1 and a disposal vehicle comprising such a gripper arm according to the preamble of claim 4.

Bei der Entsorgung von Hausmüll, Industriemüll, Reststoffen, die eine Wertstoffsortieranlage durchlaufen haben, Schlacken oder anderen Zuschlagstoffen oder ähnlichen in Behältern bereitgestellten Materialien ist zunehmend eine automatisierte Entsorgung der diese Stoffe aufnehmenden Behälter mit möglichst minimiertem Personal- und Zeiteinsatz gewünscht.When disposing of household waste, industrial waste, residues that have passed through a recyclable material sorting system, slag or other additives or similar materials provided in containers, automated disposal of the containers containing these substances with the least possible use of personnel and time is increasingly desired.

Hierfür werden etwa von Müllverursachern Behälter an die Straße gestellt, damit sie dort vom Greifarm eines Entsorgungsfahrzeugs erfaßt und in dieses entleert werden können. Bei Vorsehen eines beispielsweise seitlich ausgreifenden Arms können die Behälter automatisiert angehoben und entleert werden, ohne daß neben dem Fahrer weiteres Personal erforderlich wäre. Zur Zeitersparnis kann der Greifarm mit mehreren nebeneinander liegenden Behältertragmitteln ausgestattet sein, die in der Lage sind, gleichzeitig mehrere Behälter zu greifen und zu entleeren.For this purpose, containers are placed on the street by garbage producers so that they can be grasped by the gripper arm of a disposal vehicle and emptied into it. With the provision of an arm that extends laterally, for example, the containers can be automatically lifted and emptied without the need for additional personnel in addition to the driver. In order to save time, the gripping arm can be equipped with several juxtaposed container carrying means, which are able to grasp and empty several containers at the same time.

Da verschieden große Behälter entleert werden sollen, werden häufig sogenannte Diamond-Keile mit jeweils von einer nach oben weisenden Spitze sich zu den Seiten und nach hinten abwärts verbreiternden Abgleitschrägen verwendet, die einen Kragen oder ähnlichen vorspringenden Bereich eines Behälters hintergreifen und sich dabei selbst zentrieren können. Damit können etwa ohne Anpassung der Tragmittel Behälter von 240 oder 120 Liter Fassungsvermögen aufgenommen werden.Since containers of different sizes are to be emptied, so-called diamond wedges are often used, each with an upward-pointing tip widening to the sides and downward to the rear, which grip behind a collar or similar protruding area of a container and can thereby center itself . This means that containers with a capacity of 240 or 120 liters can be accommodated without having to adjust the suspension equipment.

Es ergibt sich jedoch häufig das Erfordernis - beispielsweise vor Häusern mit mehreren Wohn- oder Gewerbeeinheiten -, neben diesen genannten Behältern auch Großbehälter mit 1,1 Kubikmetern Inhalt oder andere Behälter zu entsorgen. Hierfür ist der Einsatz weiterer Fahrzeuge mit entsprechend gestalteten Greifarmen erforderlich, was einen erheblichen personellen und materiellen Zusatzaufwand bedingt.However, there is often the need - for example in front of houses with several residential or commercial units - to dispose of large containers with a capacity of 1.1 cubic meters or other containers in addition to these containers. For this, the use of further vehicles with appropriately designed gripping arms is necessary, which requires considerable additional personnel and material expenditure.

Die WO-A-02/088 001 zeigt einen Greifarm eines Entsorgungsfahrzeugs gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, mit einer Aufnahme für Abfallbehälter, wobei die Aufnahme seitlich einfassende Arme und eine zusätzliche Kammleiste als weiteres Tragmittel aufweist, die mit einem Niederhalter zusammenwirkt. Um diese Tragleiste in Eingriff zu bringen, müssen zunächst die Arme in eine Ruhestellung verschwenkt werden, erst dann kann die selbst nicht auswärts bewegliche Tragleiste zum Eingriff kommen. Der Eingriff dieser Kammleiste ist jedoch dadurch erschwert, daß für ihr Einfädeln an den Behälter der gesamte auswärts weisende Kopfbereich mit dem ersten Tragmittel und der Kammleiste bewegt werden muß, was angesichts des hohen Gewichts und der ein hohes Trägheitsmoment bewirkenden Lage diesen Kopfbereichs am äußersten Ende erschwert ist.The WO-A-02/088 001 shows a gripping arm of a disposal vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1, with a receptacle for waste containers, the receptacle having laterally bordering arms and an additional comb strip as further support means which interacts with a hold-down device. In order to bring this support bar into engagement, the arms must first be pivoted into a rest position, only then can the support bar, which itself cannot move outward, come into engagement. The engagement of this comb bar is made more difficult by the fact that the entire outward-facing head area with the first support means and the comb bar must be moved in order to thread it into the container, which in view of the high weight and the position causing a high moment of inertia makes this head area difficult at the extreme end is.

Die EP-A-0 691 288 zeigt eine Hub-Kipp-Vorrichtung für einen Hecklader mit einem Behältertragmittel und mit einem weiteren, als Kammleiste ausgebildeten Tragmittel, wobei das weitere Tragmittel mit einer auswärts weisenden Komponente in eine Ebene nahe der äußersten Erstreckungsebene des Behältertragmittels verlagerbar ist. Ein Niederhalter für den Behälter ist dort aber nicht offenbart, so daß ein Greifarm, der den Behälter erst greift, unter Umständen auch heranzieht, dann mehrere Meter hoch anhebt und erst dann über Kopf verschwenkt, wie dies bei einem Seitenlader der Fall ist, auf diese Weise nicht ausgebildet werden kann.The EP-A-0 691 288 shows a lifting and tilting device for a rear loader with a container support means and with a further support means designed as a comb strip, the further support means with an outwardly pointing component being displaceable in a plane close to the outermost plane of extent of the container support means. A hold-down device for the container is not disclosed there, so that a gripper arm that first grips the container may also pull it, then lift it several meters high and only then pivot it overhead, as is the case with a side loader, onto it Way can not be trained.

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, die insbesondere automatisierte Aufnahme und Rückführung von Behältern verschiedener Größen zu verbessern.The invention is based on the problem of improving the particularly automated reception and return of containers of various sizes.

Die Erfindung löst dieses Problem durch einen Greifarm mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und ein Entsorgunsfahezeug mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 4. Hinsichtlich vorteilhafter Ausgestaltungen wird auf die weiteren Ansprüche 2, 3 und 5 bis 13 verwiesen.The invention solves this problem by a gripper arm with the features of claim 1 and a disposal vehicle with the features of claim 4. With regard to advantageous embodiments, reference is made to the further claims 2, 3 and 5 to 13.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Greifarm bzw. Entsorgungsfahrzeug wird es möglich, verschiedenartigste Behälter greifen zu können, ohne daß eine Umrüstung des Entsorgungsfahrzeugs oder auch nur des Greifarms durchgeführt werden müßte. Dadurch, daß das weitere Tragmittel in und außer Eingriffsstellung verlagerbar ist, kann je nach aufzunehmendem Behälter entweder dieses oder die Behältertragmittel zum Einsatz kommen. Die Verlagerung läßt sich vorteilhaft von der Fahrerkabine fernsteuern.With the gripping arm or disposal vehicle according to the invention, it is possible to be able to grip a wide variety of containers without having to convert the disposal vehicle or even just the gripping arm. Because the further support means can be moved into and out of the engagement position, either this or the container support means can be used depending on the container to be received. The relocation can advantageously be remotely controlled from the driver's cab.

Dadurch, daß das weitere Tragmittel mit einer auswärts, in Richtung des aufzunehmenden Behälters weisenden Komponente in eine Ebene nahe der äußersten Erstreckungsebene des oder der Behältertragmittel in Eingriffsstellung verlagerbar ist, kann es durch dieses Ausfahren in eine zur Anlage an den Behälter geeignete Stellung kommen, wohingegen es ansonsten die Aufnahme von Behältern durch die bereits vorhandenen Behältertragmittel, die hier unterhalb des weiteren Tragmittels gelegen sind, was nicht zwingend ist, nicht stört. Der zumindest eine Abschnitt ist als Kammleiste mit mehreren nach oben ragenden Eingriffszinken ausgebildet, die mit einem oberhalb von ihr angeordneten beweglichen Niederhalter zusammenwirkt. Dadurch können etwa die üblichen gewerblichen 1.1-Behälter von dieser Kammleiste aufgenommen werden.The fact that the further support means can be displaced into the engagement position with a component pointing outwards in the direction of the container to be picked up in a plane near the outermost plane of extent of the container support means (s), this extension can bring it into a position suitable for resting on the container, whereas otherwise it does not interfere with the reception of containers by the container support means that are already present, which are located below the further support means here, which is not mandatory. The at least one section is designed as a comb bar with a plurality of engaging prongs which protrude upward and which interacts with a movable hold-down device arranged above it. As a result, the usual commercial 1.1 containers can be accommodated by this comb strip.

Mit der Möglichkeit, der Verriegelungsbewegung des Niederhalters insbesondere bei fest und in Eingriff stehendem Tragmittel oder weiterem Tragmittel durchzuführen, braucht der Behälter nicht angeliftet zu werden, um gegen einen Niederhalter bewegt zu werden. Dies stellt einen besonderen Vorteil der Erfindung dar, da diese dann auch für solche Greifarme gut verwendbar ist, die weit außerhalb einer Fahrzeugkontur stehende Behälter greifen und heranbewegen, weil hiermit bereits von Anfang an während der Heranbewegung eine Verriegelung des Behälters erreicht ist und dieser nicht erst gegen einen festen oder beweglichen Niederhalter am Fahrzeug bewegt werden muß.With the possibility of carrying out the locking movement of the hold-down device, in particular when the support means or other support means are fixed and engaged, the container does not need to be lifted in order to be moved against a hold-down device. This represents a particular advantage of the invention, since it can then also be used well for those gripping arms that grip and move containers that are far outside of a vehicle contour, because this locks the container from the start during the approach, and not the latter must be moved against a fixed or movable hold-down device on the vehicle.

Wenn insbesondere der Niederhalter zur Verriegelung der Tragstellung des Behälters um eine horizontale Achse schwenkbar ist und deren Abstand zu dem in Eingriff stehenden Tragmittel oder weiterem Tragmittel fest ist, kann zunächst die "Zange" aus Tragmittel oder weiterem Tragmittel einerseits und Niederhalter andererseits sicher geschlossen werden, ehe eine Heranzieh- und/oder Anhebebewegung des Behälters an das Fahrzeug durchgeführt wird.If, in particular, the hold-down device for locking the carrying position of the container can be pivoted about a horizontal axis and the latter Distance to the engaged suspension element or other suspension element is fixed, the "pliers" consisting of suspension element or additional suspension element on the one hand and hold-down device on the other hand can be securely closed before the container is pulled up and / or raised against the vehicle.

Dabei kann oder können das oder die weiteren Tragmittel insbesondere um eine unterhalb des Eingriffskontakts gelegene Achse auswärts schwenkbar sein, so daß sich der aufgenommene Behälter auf der Schwenkachse abstützt und darüber seine Gewichtskraft abgefangen wird.In this case, the further support means (s) can in particular be pivotable outwards about an axis located below the engagement contact, so that the receptacle received is supported on the pivot axis and its weight is absorbed by it.

Die Antriebsorgane für das Schwenken können dann im wesentlichen horizontal liegen und müssen selbst die Gewichtskraft nicht tragen, so daß sie relativ klein dimensioniert werden und geschützt hinter einer äußeren Tragplatte liegen können.The drive elements for pivoting can then be essentially horizontal and do not have to bear the weight of the force themselves, so that they are relatively small in size and can be protected behind an outer support plate.

Insbesondere können an der Tragplatte sowohl der Niederhalter als auch das oder die Tragmittel und das oder die weiteren Tragmittel angeordnet und somit eine modulare Auswechselbarkeit der gesamten Tragplatte ermöglicht sein, ohne daß ein separat am Fahrzeug angeordneter Niederhalter erforderlich wäre.In particular, both the hold-down device and the support means (s) and the further support means (s) can be arranged on the support plate, thus making modular exchangeability of the entire support plate possible without a hold-down device separately arranged on the vehicle being required.

Die Tragmittel können mit den oben erwähnten Vorteilen als sog. Diamond-Keile mit jeweils von einer nach oben weisenden Spitze sich abwärts verbreiternden Abgleitschrägen ausgebildet sein.With the advantages mentioned above, the suspension elements can be designed as so-called diamond wedges, each with sliding bevels widening downwards from an upwardly pointing tip.

Dabei ist es räumlich günstig, an dem Greifarm nebeneinander zwei Behältertragmittel und zwischen sowie oberhalb von diesen raumsparend einen Abschnitt des weiteren Tragmittels anzuordnen.It is spatially advantageous to arrange two container support means next to one another on the gripping arm and a section of the further support means between and above these in a space-saving manner.

Die Aufnahmefähigkeit für große Behälter kann wesentlich dadurch beeinflußt werden, daß seitlich neben und mit Abstand zu dem zwischen den Behältertragmitteln angeordneten Abschnitt des Tragmittels weitere Tragmittelabschnitte angeordnet sein können, die mit dem zwischen den Behältertragmitteln angeordneten Tragmittelabschnitt zur Aufnahme von Großbehältern gemeinsam wirksam sein können.The capacity for large containers can be significantly influenced by the fact that further suspension element sections can be arranged laterally next to and at a distance from the section of the suspension element arranged between the container carrier elements, which can be effective together with the support means section arranged between the container support means for receiving large containers.

Besonders vorteilhaft für den variablen Einsatz des Entsorgungsfahrzeugs ist weiterhin zumindest ein Behältertragmittel entlang einer gedachten Verbindungslinie zwischen den Behältertragmitteln verschieblich. Dadurch können auch dicht nebeneinanderstehende Behälter angehoben und wieder abgesetzt werden, ohne daß diese beim Anheben und Zentrieren quer verschoben und somit leicht seitlich versetzt wieder abgestellt werden müßten. Somit wird es auch möglich, zwei Behälter, die eng in einer Reihe mit weiteren stehen, zu greifen und an derselben Stelle wieder abzusetzen - unabhängig von der Behältergröße. Damit kann beispielsweise der Abstand zwischen den Spitzen der Diamond-Keile an Maße von Normbehältern von 120 Litern oder 240 Litern Inhalt, bei denen idealerweise der Abstand der Keilspitzen in einem Fall 490 Millimeter und im anderen Fall 600 Millimeter betragen soll, vorwählbar angepaßt werden.Particularly advantageous for the variable use of the disposal vehicle is furthermore at least one container support means that can be displaced along an imaginary connecting line between the container support means. As a result, containers that are close to one another can also be lifted and put down again, without these having to be displaced transversely during lifting and centering and thus having to be set down again slightly offset to the side. This also makes it possible to grab two containers that are closely lined up with others and put them down again at the same place - regardless of the container size. This means, for example, that the distance between the tips of the diamond wedges can be adjusted in advance to the dimensions of standard containers of 120 liters or 240 liters, in which the distance between the wedge tips should ideally be 490 millimeters in one case and 600 millimeters in the other.

Das in Fig. 1 gezeigte Entsorgungsfahrzeug 1 ist als Selbstfahrer ausgebildet. Auch ein gezogenes Fahrzeug kommt in Betracht. Es umfaßt in jedem Fall zumindest einen Greifarm 2, der zur Aufnahme von unterschiedlichen Behältern 3, 4 dient und diese anheben sowie auch heranziehen und - hier über Kopf - einer Entleerung in einen Einfüllbereich 6 des Fahrzeugs 1 zuführen kann. Dem Einfüllbereich 6 kann eine Preßeinrichtung zugeordnet sein, die die eingefüllten Stoffe in beispielsweise einen Wechselbehälter einschiebt und verdichtet.This in Fig. 1 The disposal vehicle 1 shown is designed as a self-propelled vehicle. A pulled vehicle can also be considered. In any case, it comprises at least one gripping arm 2, which is used to pick up different containers 3, 4 and can lift and pull them up and - here overhead - can empty them into a filling area 6 of vehicle 1. A pressing device can be assigned to the filling area 6, which pushes the filled substances into, for example, an interchangeable container and compresses them.

Die Behälter 3, 4 können etwa zur Entsorgung von einzufüllenden Reststoffen, Wertstoffen, Schutt, Schlacken oder ähnliche Stoffen dienen. Die hier gezeigten Behälter 3 sind übliche genormte und in Draufsicht im wesentlichen quadratische Haushaltsmülleimer, der Behälter 4 ist ein in Draufsicht rechteckiger 1.1-cbm-Behälter, wie er häufig in Gewerbeeinheiten Verwendung findet.The containers 3, 4 can be used, for example, to dispose of residual materials to be filled, valuable materials, debris, slag or similar materials. The containers 3 shown here are the usual standardized household rubbish bins which are essentially square in plan view, the container 4 is a 1.1 cbm container which is rectangular in plan view, as is often used in commercial units.

Der Greifarm 2 ist um mehrere Gelenke 7, 8, 9 beweglich und umfaßt an seinem ausgreifenden Endbereich 10 im gezeichneten Ausführungsbeispiel als Behältertragmittel 11 zwei parallel nebeneinander an einer modularen Tragplatte T angeordnete sog. Diamond-Keile. Bei diesen erstrecken sich jeweils von einer nach oben weisenden Spitze 12 aus Abgleitschrägen 13 abwärts verbreiternd, was eine Selbstzentrierung an Behältern 3 unterschiedlicher Breite ermöglicht.The gripping arm 2 is movable around several joints 7, 8, 9 and comprises two so-called diamond wedges arranged parallel next to one another on a modular support plate T at its extending end region 10 in the illustrated embodiment as container support means 11. These each extend from an upwardly pointing tip 12 of sliding bevels 13, widening downwards, which enables self-centering on containers 3 of different widths.

Neben den hier keilförmigen Behältertragmitteln 11 ist als weiteres Tragmittel 14 eine ebenfalls an der Tragplatte T abgestützte Kammleiste vorgesehen, die eine Reihe von aufwärts weisenden Tragzinken aufweist. Sie kann, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist, über ihre gesamte Länge, die die Breite der Behältertragmittel 11 überragen kann, als durchgehende Leiste 14a ausgebildet sein oder einen separaten mittleren Abschnitt 14b umfassen (Fig. 4, Fig. 5), der eventuell mit weiter außen liegenden und ebenfalls separaten Abschnitten (nicht gezeichnet) zusammenwirken kann. Für die Anordnung separater Teile können insbesondere enge räumliche Gegebenheiten sprechen. Bei der Verlagerung in Eingriffsstellung (Übergang von Fig. 4a zu Fig. 4b) können die Abschnitte dann beidseits der als Keile ausgebildeten Behältertragmittel 11 mit einer auswärts weisenden Komponente K ausgeschoben oder insbesondere um eine unterhalb ihrer Kontaktlinie mit dem Behälter 4 liegenden und daher abstützenden Schwenkachse ausgeschwenkt werden, ohne mit den Diamondkeilen 11 zu kollidieren, selbst wenn die Leiste der weiteren Tragmittel 14 nur dicht oberhalb der als Keile ausgebildeten Behältertragmittel 11 angeordnet ist. Bei einer durchgehenden Leiste 14a (Fig. 3) können dann im Bereich der Rückseiten der Behältertragmittel 11 Ausnehmungen erforderlich sein. Bei einem Verschwenken um eine abstützende Achse können die Antriebsorgane hierfür geschützt weiter innen im wesentlichen hinter der Tragplatte liegen und brauchen nur wenig Kraft aufzubringen, so daß sie relativ klein dimensioniert sein können.In addition to the here wedge-shaped container support means 11, a comb ledge, which is also supported on the support plate T and has a number of upwardly pointing support prongs, is provided as further support means 14. It can, as in Fig. 3 is shown, over its entire length, which can extend beyond the width of the container support means 11, be designed as a continuous strip 14a or comprise a separate middle section 14b ( Fig. 4 , Fig. 5 ), which can possibly interact with further outlying and also separate sections (not shown). In particular, tight spatial conditions can speak for the arrangement of separate parts. When shifting into engagement position (transition from Figure 4a to Figure 4b ) the sections can then be pushed out on both sides of the container support means 11 designed as wedges with an outwardly pointing component K or, in particular, swiveled out about a pivot axis lying below its contact line with the container 4 and therefore supporting it without colliding with the diamond wedges 11, even if the bar the further support means 14 is arranged just above the container support means 11, which are designed as wedges. With a continuous strip 14a ( Fig. 3 ) 11 recesses may then be required in the area of the rear sides of the container support means. When pivoting about a supporting axis, the drive members can be protected further inside, essentially behind the support plate, and need only apply little force, so that they can be relatively small.

In jedem Fall ist die durchgehende oder unterbrochene Kammleiste des weiteren Tragmittels 14 gegenüber dem Greifarm 2 mit einer horizontalen Komponente K zwischen einer Eingriffsstellung zum Tragen der Behälter 3, 4 (Fig. 4b, 5b) und einer passiven Nichteingriffsstellung (Fig. 4a, 5a) beweglich. In der Nichteingriffsstellung können die Behältertragmittel 11 mit ihren Spitzen 12 und den daran anschließenden Abgleitschrägen 13 in Eingriff mit dem Behälter 3 gelangen.In any case, the continuous or interrupted comb strip of the further support means 14 is opposite the gripping arm 2 with a horizontal component K between an engagement position for carrying the containers 3, 4 ( Figure 4b , 5b ) and a passive non-intervention position ( Figure 4a , 5a ) movable. In the non-engagement position, the container support means 11 can come into engagement with the container 3 with their tips 12 and the sliding bevels 13 adjoining them.

In Eingriffsstellung des als Kammleiste ausgebildeten weiteren Tragmittels 14 dienen Tragzinken zur Aufnahme der Behälter 3 oder 4. Sofern die Leiste des Tragmittels 14 als durchgehende lange Leiste 14a ausgebildet ist oder neben dem mittleren Abschnitt 14b noch weitere Seitenabschnitte umfaßt, können auch insbesondere 1.1-cbm-Großbehälter (Fig. 1) mit der das weitere Tragmittel 14 bildenden Kammleiste erfaßt und dadurch entleert werden. Eine zusätzliche Schwenkhalterung dient im geschlossenen Zustand als Niederhalter 15 für Tonnen.In the engagement position of the further suspension element 14 designed as a comb bar, support prongs serve to receive the container 3 or 4. If the bar of the suspension element 14 is designed as a continuous long bar 14a or next to the middle one Section 14b also includes further side sections, in particular 1.1 cbm large containers ( Fig. 1 ) are detected with the comb strip forming the further suspension element 14 and thereby emptied. An additional swivel bracket serves as a hold-down 15 for barrels when closed.

Sie kann sowohl bei Eingriff der Behältertragmittel 11 als auch der Tragmittel 14 als Widerlager über dem Behälterkragen 19 um eine Achse N geschlossen werden, so daß die als Keile ausgebildeten Behältertragmittel 11 bzw. die Tragzinken der Kammleiste des weiteren Tragmittels 14 und die Schwenkhalterung des Niederhalters 15 nach Art einer Zange zusammenwirken können. Dabei muß weder ein Behältertragmittel 11 noch ein weiteres Tragmittel 14 angehoben werden, um die Zange mit dem Niederhalter 15 zu schließen. Der Niederhalter 15 ist vielmehr bei fest in Eingriff stehendem Behältertragmittel 11 oder weiterem Tragmittel 14 in Schließrichtung bewegbar, so daß vor der ersten Behälterbewegung dieser fest gegriffen werden kann. Dabei verhindert der Niederhalter 15 auch, daß Stoffe aus dem Behälter 3, 4 beim Entleeren neben den als Öffnung ausgebildeten Einfüllbereich 6 fallen.It can be closed around an axis N when the container support means 11 and the support means 14 are engaged as an abutment above the container collar 19, so that the container support means 11, which is designed as wedges, or the support prongs of the comb ledge of the further support means 14 and the swivel bracket of the hold-down device 15 can work together like a pair of pliers. Neither a container support means 11 nor a further support means 14 need to be raised in order to close the pliers with the hold-down device 15. Rather, the hold-down device 15 can be moved in the closing direction when the container support means 11 or other support means 14 are firmly engaged, so that it can be firmly gripped before the first container movement. The hold-down device 15 also prevents substances from falling out of the container 3, 4 during emptying next to the filling area 6 designed as an opening.

Zum Ein- und Ausfahren der das weitere Tragmittel 14 bildenden Kammleiste können beispielsweise Hydraulikzylinder dienen. Die Bewegung der Kammleiste kann eine reine Translationsbewegung oder eine Schwenkbewegung oder eine überlagerte Bewegung mit einem Verlagerungsweg von deutlich über 100 Millimetern sein. Insbesondere ist eine Schwenkbewegung um die oben geschilderte tief liegende und an der Tragplatte T angeordnete abstützende Achse günstig, wobei die Hydraulikzylinder horizontal liegen können und wenig Kraft aufzubringen haben. Im ausgefahrenen Zustand (Fig. 4b) befindet sich die Kammleiste des weiteren Tragmittels 14 im Nahbereich der von den Außenflächen der hier als Keile ausgebildeten Behältertragmittel 11 aufgespannten Vertikalebene. Wenn der Endbereich 10 einen Behälter 3 greift, gelangen daher zunächst die Tragzinken der Kammleiste in Eingriff mit dem Kragen 19 dieser Behälter 3, der darauf aufsetzt, so daß die Diamondkeile ausbildenden Behältertragmittel 11 nicht mehr in Eingriff gelangen können. Sie können jedoch mit ihren Vorderflächen 18 eine Abstützung für die Vorderseite 3a der Behälter 3 bilden und deren Kippen um die Tragzinken verhindern.Hydraulic cylinders, for example, can be used to extend and retract the comb strip forming the further suspension element 14. The movement of the comb bar can be a pure translational movement or a pivoting movement or a superimposed movement with a displacement path of well over 100 millimeters. In particular, a pivoting movement about the above-described low-lying supporting axis arranged on the support plate T is favorable, with the hydraulic cylinders being able to lie horizontally and having to apply little force. When extended ( Figure 4b ) the comb ledge of the further suspension element 14 is in the vicinity of the outer surfaces of the here designed as wedges container support means 11 spanned vertical plane. When the end region 10 grips a container 3, the carrier prongs of the comb strip first come into engagement with the collar 19 of this container 3, which sits thereon so that the container carrier means 11 forming diamond wedges can no longer engage. However, you can form a support for the front side 3a of the container 3 with their front surfaces 18 and prevent their tilting around the support prongs.

Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel ist es alternativ (Fig. 6, 7) ist es auch möglich, die Kammleiste des weiteren Tragmittels 14 - wiederum in einzelnen Abschnitten oder insbesondere als durchgehende Leiste 14c - auf dem üblicherweise als Tonnenniederhalter dienenden Niederhalter 15 anzuordnen und dadurch die Verlagerung zwischen der Eingriffs- und der Nichteingriffsstellung der Kammleiste 14 als reine Schwenkbewegung ausführen zu können. Der Schwenkmechanismus hierfür ist ohnehin vorhanden, so daß der mechanische Zusatzaufwand darauf beschränkt ist, einen weiteren als Schwenkhalterung ausgebildeten Niederhalter 16 als dann wirksamen Tonnenniederhalter oberhalb der ursprünglich als Niederhalter 15 dienenden Schwenkhalterung vorzusehen. Der Umrüstaufwand etwa eines herkömmlichen Endbereichs 10 des Greifarms ist dadurch minimiert.According to a further exemplary embodiment, it is alternatively ( Figures 6, 7 ) it is also possible to arrange the comb ledge of the further suspension element 14 - again in individual sections or in particular as a continuous ledge 14c - on the hold-down device 15, which is usually used as a barrel hold-down device, and thereby the displacement between the engagement and the non-engagement position of the comb ledge 14 as a pure pivoting movement to be able to perform. The swivel mechanism for this is present anyway, so that the additional mechanical effort is limited to providing a further hold-down device 16, designed as a swivel mount, as a barrel hold-down device above the swivel mount originally used as hold-down device 15. The conversion outlay for a conventional end region 10 of the gripping arm, for example, is minimized as a result.

Um die Flexibilität weiter zu erhöhen, können die als Keile ausgebildeten Behältertragmittel 11 an einer gemeinsamen horizontalen Tragschiene beweglich gegenüber dieser abgestützt und parallel zur Schiene entlang einer gedachten Verbindungslinie miteinander über einen Antrieb, zum Beispiel einen Hydraulikzylinder, verbunden sein. Dieser ist vom Fahrer aus fernbedienbar, insbesondere derart, daß dieser nur den Typ der aufzunehmenden Behälter 3 (z. B. 120 Liter) eingibt und ein Steuerrechner daraus automatisch den passenden Abstand von 490 Millimetern zwischen den Spitzen 12 der hier Keile bildenden Behältertragmittel 11 ermittelt und das Antriebsorgan entsprechend einstellt. Die Keile können dann zwei Behälter 3 dieser Größe greifen, ohne sie beim Zentrieren seitlich verlagern zu müssen.In order to further increase the flexibility, the container support means 11 designed as wedges can be movably supported on a common horizontal support rail and connected to each other parallel to the rail along an imaginary connecting line via a drive, for example a hydraulic cylinder. This can be remotely controlled by the driver, in particular in such a way that he only enters and enters the type of container 3 to be picked up (e.g. 120 liters) From this, the control computer automatically determines the appropriate distance of 490 millimeters between the tips 12 of the container support means 11 forming wedges here and adjusts the drive element accordingly. The wedges can then grip two containers 3 of this size without having to move them laterally when centering.

Sofern zwei größere Behälter 3 angehoben werden sollen, kann der Antrieb auf den größeren Typ der aufzunehmenden Behälter 3 (z. B. 240 Liter) eingestellt werden, wobei dann der Rechner daraus den Abstand von 600 Millimetern zwischen den Spitzen 12 der hier als Keile ausgebildeten Behältertragmittel 11 ermittelt und das Antriebsorgan etwas ausfährt, so daß beide Behältertragmittel 11 auf der Schiene auswärts verlagert werden. Der Kragen 19 eines Behälters 3 kann damit auch hier mittig angesteuert werden, so daß die Behälter 3 ohne Seitwärtsverlagerung angehoben und wieder abgestellt werden können.If two larger containers 3 are to be lifted, the drive can be set to the larger type of container 3 to be accommodated (e.g. 240 liters), the computer then calculating the distance of 600 millimeters between the tips 12 of the wedges here Detected container support means 11 and the drive member extends somewhat, so that both container support means 11 are shifted outward on the rail. The collar 19 of a container 3 can thus also be controlled centrally here so that the container 3 can be raised and put down again without shifting sideways.

Bei üblichen Behältern 3, die als Normbehälter ausgebildet sind, ist sowohl der Einsatz der als Keile ausgebildeten Behältertragmittel 11 als auch der ausgefahrenen weiteren Tragmittel 14, hier der Kammleiste, (Fig. 4b) möglich. Insbesondere bei einer lang durchgehenden Kammleiste 14a, 14c können auch mehrere dieser Behälter gleichzeitig erfaßt werden.In the case of conventional containers 3, which are designed as standard containers, both the container support means 11 designed as wedges and the extended further support means 14, here the comb strip, ( Figure 4b ) possible. In particular in the case of a long, continuous comb strip 14a, 14c, several of these containers can also be detected at the same time.

Der erfindungsgemäße Greifarm 2 kann modular ausgebildet sein und etwa einen auswechselbaren Endbereich 10 mit der Tragplatte T und dem daran angeordneten Niederhalter 15, 16 umfassen, so daß je nach Bedarf die passenden Behältertragmittel 11, 14 mit zugehöriger Tragplatte T angesetzt werden können.The gripping arm 2 according to the invention can be of modular design and comprise, for example, an exchangeable end region 10 with the support plate T and the hold-down device 15, 16 arranged thereon, so that the appropriate container support means 11, 14 with the associated support plate T can be attached as required.
