Plus précisément, ce système comprend un bras principal destiné à être monté sur un châssis de manière pivotante autour d'un premier axe droite-gauche (appelé ici A1 ), destiné à prendre une position basse et une position haute par rapport à une direction bas-haut, une armature montée sur le bras principal de manière pivotante autour d'un deuxième axe droite-gauche (appelé ici A2), une chaise montée sur l'armature et destinée à recevoir un conteneur pour le soulever, un bras auxiliaire destiné à être monté sur le châssis de manière pivotante autour d'un troisième axe droite-gauche (appelé ici A3), et monté sur l'armature de manière pivotante autour d'un quatrième axe droite-gauche (appelé ici A4). Dans ce système, la distance entre les axes A2 et A4 est presqu'égale à la distance entre les axes A1 et A3. En outre, la distance entre les axes A1 et A2 est presqu'égale à la distance entre les axes A3 et A4. Ainsi, ce lève-conteneurs forme presque un parallélogramme, ce qui permet à l'armature - et donc également à la chaise - de rester toujours vertical. Cela présente l'inconvénient qu'il peut être difficile de monter un conteneur sur la chaise lorsque le sol est en pente vers l'arrière et que le haut du conteneur est en retrait vers l'arrière par rapport au bas du conteneur. En effet, le conteneur est souvent attaché à la chaise par le haut. Il est alors nécessaire au ripeur de soulever le conteneur pour l'emboiter sur la chaise. En outre, comme l'armature reste verticale en position haute des bras principaux, il est nécessaire de prévoir un fort pivotement de la chaise par rapport à l'armature, très supérieur à 90°. Cela nécessite des efforts importants et prend du temps. European patent application EP 0 512 469 A1 (Waste Hoists) describes a compact hoist for vertical rise of the container, then a tilting. It has two arms that lift the container to its highest position, followed by a mechanical swing. More specifically, this system comprises a main arm intended to be mounted on a frame pivotally about a first right-left axis (here called A1), intended to take a low position and a high position relative to a low direction -High, a frame mounted on the main arm pivotally about a second right-left axis (here called A2), a chair mounted on the frame for receiving a container for lifting, an auxiliary arm for pivotally mounted to the frame about a third right-to-left axis (here called A3), and mounted on the armature pivotally around a fourth right-left axis (here called A4). In this system, the distance between axes A2 and A4 is almost equal to the distance between axes A1 and A3. In addition, the distance between the axes A1 and A2 is almost equal to the distance between the axes A3 and A4. Thus, this lifter forms almost a parallelogram, which allows the frame - and therefore also the chair - to remain always vertical. This has the disadvantage that it can be difficult to mount a container on the chair when the floor is sloping rearward and the top of the container is set backward relative to the bottom of the container. Indeed, the container is often attached to the chair from above. It is then necessary for the rider to lift the container to nest on the chair. In addition, since the armature remains vertical in the upper position of the main arms, it is necessary to provide a strong pivoting of the chair relative to the frame, much greater than 90 °. This requires significant effort and takes time.

En particulier, les systèmes de lève-conteneurs selon l'état de la technique ne sont pas bien adaptés pour équiper des BCD à chargement arrière de petite taille. En effet, à côté des BCD de grande taille, il existe un réel besoin pour des BCD de taille plus réduite. Ce besoin existe notamment pour des petites municipalités, ou dans des municipalités présentant des rues étroites et/ou en pente, par exemple dans des villages de montagne. Pour diminuer l'encombrement de ces véhicules et pour les adapter au fonctionnement dans des endroits exigus, on souhaite diminuer la zone fonctionnelle du lève-conteneurs. En particulier, on souhaite que la projection de la zone fonctionnelle sur l'horizontale soit petite, afin de ne pas déstabiliser la BCD lors du levage de conteneurs très lourds, et afin de réduire son encombrement en fonctionnement. Par ailleurs, un tel système de lève- conteneurs devra pourvoir saisir des bacs à déchets de tailles très différentes. Et finalement, il doit être construction simple, légère et robuste. Et enfin, il serait avantageux qu'il puisse être monté, sans subir des modifications constructives, sur le côté du véhicule et non pas à l'arrière, car il existe également un besoin de BCD de petite taille à chargement latéral. In particular, the prior art container lifter systems are not well suited to equip small size rear load BCDs. In fact, alongside large BCDs, there is a real need for smaller BCDs. This need exists especially for small municipalities, or in municipalities with narrow and / or sloping streets, for example in mountain villages. To reduce the size of these vehicles and to adapt them to the operation in tight spaces, it is desired to reduce the functional area of the lifter. In particular, it is desired that the projection of the functional area on the horizontal is small, so as not to destabilize the BCD when lifting very heavy containers, and to reduce its size in operation. Moreover, such a hoist system will have to be able to grab waste bins of very different sizes. And finally, it must be simple, lightweight and robust construction. And finally, it would be advantageous that it can be mounted, without undergoing constructive modifications, on the side of the vehicle and not in the rear, because there is also a need for small BCD side loading.
Afin de remédier au moins en partie aux inconvénients des lève-conteneurs connus, il est proposé un lève-conteneurs pour BCD à chargement arrière, amélioré par une géométrie particulière. Ce lève-conteneurs convient également à une BCD à chargement latérale. Objets de l'invention In order to remedy at least in part the disadvantages of known container lifts, it is proposed a rear loading BCD container lifter, improved by a particular geometry. This container lifter is also suitable for a side loading BCD. Objects of the invention
Un premier but de l'invention est de proposer un lève-conteneurs pour BCD à chargement arrière qui présente un encombrement en fonctionnement réduit. A first object of the invention is to provide a rear loading BCD container hoist which has a small footprint in reduced operation.
Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un lève-conteneurs pour BCD à chargement arrière qui convient aux BCD de petite taille, et qui présente un haut niveau de maniabilité. Another object of the invention is to provide a rear loading BCD container hoist which is suitable for small BCDs, and which has a high level of maneuverability.
Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un lève-conteneurs pour BCD à chargement arrière qui convient aux BCD de petite taille, et qui présente un haut niveau de sécurité pour les ripeurs. En particulier, on souhaite éviter deux risques : l'écrasement du ripeur derrière le conteneur qui se lève (ce risque est accru dans le cas des BCD de petite taille vouées à opérer dans des ruelles à espace latéral et/ou arrière réduit), et le risque lié aux conteneurs qui se renversent à la descente, notamment lorsque le système de préhension libère le conteneur alors que ce dernier n'est pas encore dans une position fixe sur le sol. D'une manière générale, on souhaite que le système de lève-conteneurs repose le conteneur exactement à l'endroit où il l'a saisi, et sans risque de renversement du conteneur. Another object of the invention is to provide a rear loading BCD container hoist which is suitable for small BCDs, and which has a high level of safety for the rippers. In particular, it is desired to avoid two risks: the crushing of the ripper behind the container that rises (this risk is increased in the case of small BCDs dedicated to operating in lanes with reduced lateral and / or rear space), and the risk associated with the containers that fall on the descent, especially when the gripping system releases the container while the latter is not yet in a fixed position on the ground. In general, it is desired that the container lifter system rests the container exactly where it seized, and without risk of overturning the container.
Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un lève-conteneurs pour BCD à chargement arrière qui soit rapide, léger, et robuste, pouvant fonctionner avec des vérins de petite taille, et peu consommateur d'énergie. Encore un autre but est de proposer un lève-conteneurs qui peut être utilisé dans une BDC en mode chargement arrière ou en mode chargement latéral. Another object of the invention is to provide a rear loading BCD container hoist that is fast, lightweight, and robust, can operate with small cylinders, and low energy consumption. Yet another goal is to provide a container lifter that can be used in a BDC in rear load mode or side load mode.
Ces buts sont atteints par un lève-conteneurs pour benne de collecte de déchets à chargement arrière comportant : These goals are achieved by a rear-loading garbage collection container lifter comprising:
- au moins un bras principal destiné à être monté sur un châssis de manière pivotante autour d'un premier axe droite-gauche, appelé axe A1 1 , destiné à prendre une position basse et une position haute par rapport à une direction bas- haut, at least one main arm intended to be pivotally mounted on a frame around a first right-left axis, called axis A1 1, intended to assume a low position and a high position relative to a low-high direction,
- une armature montée sur ledit bras principal de manière pivotante autour d'un deuxième axe droite-gauche, appelé axe A12, - une chaise montée sur l'armature et destinée à recevoir un conteneur pour le soulever, - au moins un bras auxiliaire destiné à être monté sur le châssis de manière pivotante autour d'un troisième axe droite-gauche, appelé axe A13, et monté sur l'armature de manière pivotante autour d'un quatrième axe droite-gauche, appelé axe A14, caractérisé en ce que la distance entre les axes A12 et A14 (D24) est supérieure à la distance entre les axes A1 1 et A13 (D13). a frame pivotally mounted on said main arm about a second right-to-left axis, called axis A12; a chair mounted on the frame and intended to receive a container for lifting it; at least one auxiliary arm intended to be pivotally mounted on the frame around a third right-to-left axis, called axis A13, and mounted on the frame pivotally about a fourth right-left axis, called axis A14, characterized in that the distance between the axes A12 and A14 (D24) is greater than the distance between the axes A1 1 and A13 (D13).
Ce système de lève-conteneurs, qui constitue le premier objet de l'invention, présente les avantages suivants : lorsque le bras principal est levé, le haut de la chaise bascule vers l'avant par rapport au bas de la chaise, cela amorce le déversage, et lorsque le bras principal est baissé, le haut de la chaise bascule vers l'arrière par rapport au bas de la chaise, ce qui permet un engagement plus facile du peigne. Par ailleurs, le levage s'effectue près de la paroi arrière de la BCD. This system of lifting containers, which is the first object of the invention, has the following advantages: when the main arm is raised, the top of the chair tilts forward relative to the bottom of the chair, it starts the spill, and when the main arm is lowered, the top of the chair tilts backwards relative to the bottom of the chair, which allows easier engagement of the comb. In addition, the lift is carried out near the back wall of the BCD.

Advantageously, the distance between the axes A12 and A14 (D24) is at least 10% greater than the distance between the axes A1 1 and A13 (D13), preferably at least 20%, and more preferably from at least 30%.
Le système de lève-conteneurs 3 selon l'invention comporte trois types de vérin : au moins un vérin de levée du système de levage (non représenté sur les figures) qui permet de lever le bras principal 63,64, un vérin 70 pour actionner la pince 67, et au moins un vérin 71 ,72 de rotation. The lifting device system 3 according to the invention comprises three types of jack: at least one lifting jack of the lifting system (not shown in the figures) which makes it possible to lift the main arm 63,64, a jack 70 to actuate the clamp 67, and at least one cylinder 71, 72 of rotation.
Nous décrivons ici en détail la cinématique du lève-conteneurs selon l'invention, en référence à la figure 5. Le cycle de vidage du conteneur à déchets comprend deux phases distinctes de montée et de basculement. Dans une première phase, le bras principal se lève dans une première étape (figure 5a), ce qui permet d'accrocher éventuellement un bac de petite taille au peigne. Dans une seconde étape, (figure 5b), le bras principal se lève davantage, ce qui permet d'accrocher alternativement un bac de grande taille au peigne. Dans une troisième étape (figure 5c), le bras principal se lève davantage pour soulever le bac jusqu'au début de la fermeture de la pince. Dans une quatrième étape, on ferme la pince (figure 5d) sur le bord supérieur du bac ; cette étape peut être exécutée en continu au cours du levage. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le début de la fermeture de la pince est déclenché par une position de butée du vérin de levée. Dans une seconde phase, qui ne peut être déclenchée par l'automatisme que lorsque la première phase est terminée, on début la rotation du bac (figure 5e) puis on achève la rotation du bac (figure 5f) à l'aide d'un vérin additionnel. Ce mouvement de rotation par vérin additionnel est séquencé : cette rotation ne démarre que quand le bras principal est en position d'arrêt, cette position d'arrêt déclenchant automatiquement la rotation par le vérin 71 additionnel. Here we describe in detail the kinematics of the container hoist according to the invention, with reference to Figure 5. The emptying cycle of the waste container comprises two distinct phases of rise and tilt. In a first phase, the main arm is lifted in a first step (Figure 5a), which can possibly hang a small tray to the comb. In a second step, (Figure 5b), the main arm rises further, which allows to hang alternatively a large tray comb. In a third step (Figure 5c), the main arm rises further to lift the tray until the beginning of closing the clamp. In a fourth step, the clip is closed (FIG. 5d) on the upper edge of the tray; this step can be performed continuously during lifting. In another embodiment, the beginning of the closure of the clamp is triggered by an abutment position of the lift cylinder. In a second phase, which can only be triggered by the automation when the first phase is completed, we begin the rotation of the tray (Figure 5e) and then completes the rotation of the tray (Figure 5f) using a additional cylinder. This rotation movement by additional cylinder is sequenced: this rotation starts only when the main arm is in the off position, this stop position automatically triggering the rotation by the additional cylinder 71.
L'angle de basculement au cours de cette deuxième phase (entre les positions des figures 5e et 5f) est d'environ 90° (voir l'angle entre la ligne pointillée sur la figure 5e et celle sur la figure 5f) pour atteindre un angle d'inclinaison au vidage d'environ 42° (voir l'angle ω (oméga) sur la figure 5f). Cet angle est significativement plus faible que dans la plupart des systèmes existant ; il permet un basculement plus aisé, plus rapide, avec moins d'usure, et est particulièrement adapté aux bacs lourds. Cet angle de basculement plus faible de 90° est obtenu grâce à un système de levage qui assure une montée qui n'est pas totalement verticale, mais qui présente néanmoins un encombrement (zone fonctionnelle) réduit. Le cycle de vidage du conteneur à déchets est ensuite complété par le basculement inverse et la descente du conteneur (non montrées sur les figures) ; le conteneur est posé sur le sol au même endroit où il avait été appréhendé par le peigne. La dépose du conteneur se fait « à plat », sur toute sa surface destinée à être en contact avec le sol, sans risque de basculement. Dans le lève-conteneurs selon l'invention, le ou les bras auxiliaires 65,66 sont destinés à régler l'inclinaison de l'armature autour de l'axe A2 de manière que la perpendiculaire aux axes A2 et A4 fasse un angle (a24) compris entre -15° et -10° par rapport à la verticale lorsque le ou les bras principaux sont en position basse, et de manière que la perpendiculaire aux axes A2 et A4 fasse un angle (a24) compris entre 20° et 25° lorsque le ou les bras principaux sont en position haute. Cet angle est négatif lorsque A14 est devant A12 (voir figure 5a) et positif lorsque A14 est derrière A12 (voir figure 5f). The tilt angle during this second phase (between the positions of Figures 5e and 5f) is about 90 ° (see the angle between the dotted line in Figure 5e and that in Figure 5f) to achieve a dump angle at about 42 ° dump (see ω (omega) angle in Figure 5f). This angle is significantly lower than in most existing systems; it allows easier, faster tilting, with less wear, and is particularly suitable for heavy bins. This lower tilting angle of 90 ° is achieved through a lifting system that ensures a rise that is not completely vertical, but which nevertheless has a footprint (functional area) reduced. The emptying cycle of the waste container is then completed by the reverse tilting and descent of the container (not shown in the figures); the container is placed on the ground at the same place where it was apprehended by the comb. The removal of the container is "flat" over its entire surface intended to be in contact with the ground, without risk of tipping. In the lifter according to the invention, the auxiliary arm or arms 65, 66 are intended to adjust the inclination of the armature about the axis A2 so that the perpendicular to the axes A2 and A4 makes an angle (a24 ) between -15 ° and -10 ° from the vertical when the main arm (s) are in the low position, and so that the perpendicular to the A2 and A4 axes makes an angle (a24) between 20 ° and 25 ° when the main arm or arms are in the up position. This angle is negative when A14 is in front of A12 (see figure 5a) and positive when A14 is behind A12 (see figure 5f).
La figure 6 donne une autre description de la cinématique du lève-conteneurs selon l'invention. La figure 6a correspond à la figure 5a. La figure 6b correspond à la figure 5b. La figure 6c correspond à la figure 5e ; elle montre le système en position de levage du bras principal 64, le peigne 68 soulevant le bord supérieur du bac. La figure 6d correspond à la figure 5f. FIG. 6 gives another description of the kinematics of the lifter according to the invention. Figure 6a corresponds to Figure 5a. Figure 6b corresponds to Figure 5b. Figure 6c corresponds to Figure 5e; it shows the system in the lifting position of the main arm 64, the comb 68 lifting the upper edge of the tray. Figure 6d corresponds to Figure 5f.
La figure 6c montre la ligne que décrit le bord arrière 181 du bac 180 loirs de son levage : on note que sa montée est quasiment verticale. C'est un aspect important qui évite le risque d'écrasement du ripeur contre un obstacle situé derrière la BCD. Cependant, elle n'est pas totalement verticale, et cela est avantageux, comme il sera expliqué ci-dessous. Figure 6c shows the line that describes the rear edge 181 of the tray 180 rows of lifting: we note that its rise is almost vertical. This is an important aspect that avoids the risk of crushing the ripper against an obstacle behind the BCD. However, it is not totally vertical, and this is advantageous, as will be explained below.
La hauteur du point haut du bac en position de basculement est typiquement comprise entre 170 et 200 cm par rapport à la surface du sol 190, de préférence entre de 180 cm et 190 cm, alors qu'elle est de l'ordre de 120 à 130 dans la plupart des systèmes utilisés. La hauteur du peigne en position de saisie d'un bac normalisé est toujours comprise entre 80 cm et 1 10 cm. The height of the high point of the tray in tilted position is typically between 170 and 200 cm with respect to the surface of the ground 190, preferably between 180 cm and 190 cm, while it is of the order of 120 to 130 in most systems used. The height of the comb in the input position of a standardized tray is always between 80 cm and 1 10 cm.
La figure 7 donne encore une autre description de la cinématique du lève-conteneurs selon l'invention. La figure 7a correspond à la figure 5a. La figure 7b correspond à la figure 5b. La figure 7c correspond à la figure 5e. La figure 7d correspond à la figure 5f. Le bras auxiliaire 65 définit l'angle de la chaise par rapport au sol 190. Selon l'invention, en position d'engagement du système de préhension du conteneur (figures 7a et 7b), l'angle o3 est compris entre -5° et +5°. Cela assure une montée quasi-verticale du lève- conteneurs jusqu'à la hauteur de préhension du conteneur, permettant une préhension sûre (par un système de préhension à peigne, comme sur les figures, ou par un autre système) et une dépose sûre du conteneur après son vidage. Plus particulièrement, en position de préhension basse (figure 7a), l'angle o3 est avantageusement compris entre 0 et -5°, et en position de préhension haute (figure 7b) entre 0° et +5°. Figure 7 gives yet another description of the kinematics of the container lifter according to the invention. Figure 7a corresponds to Figure 5a. Figure 7b corresponds to Figure 5b. Figure 7c corresponds to Figure 5e. Figure 7d corresponds to Figure 5f. The auxiliary arm 65 defines the angle of the chair relative to the ground 190. According to the invention, in the engagement position of the container gripping system (FIGS. 7a and 7b), the angle o3 is between -5 ° and + 5 °. This ensures a virtually vertical rise of the container lifter up to the gripping height of the container, allowing a secure grip (by a comb gripping system, as in the figures, or by another system) and a safe removal of the container. container after emptying. More particularly, in the low gripping position (FIG. 7a), the angle o 3 is advantageously between 0 and -5 °, and in the high grasping position (FIG. 7b) between 0 ° and + 5 °.
On voit que le système de lève-conteneurs selon l'invention permet une montée quasi- verticale et un basculement proche de la paroi arrière du caisson 2 (ici : proche du portillon 45). Cela présente un avantage à la montée (la montée initiale presque verticale facilite la préhension de conteneurs de différente taille) et à la descente (la dépose du conteneur se fait à plat, pour les grands conteneurs sur les quatre roues, ce qui exclue tout risque de basculement du conteneur). Cependant, la montée n'est pas totalement verticale, et cela présente l'avantage que le conteneur est déjà dans une position inclinée (figure 7c) lorsque le mouvement de basculement final se déclenche (figure 7d). Grâce à l'invention, il est donc possible de configurer le lève-conteneurs de manière qu'en position basse du ou des bras principaux, l'armature - et donc la chaise soit inclinée de sorte que le haut de la chaise se trouve en arrière du bas de la chaise. Ainsi, le haut de la chaise peut s'emboiter plus facilement avec le haut du conteneur. En outre, grâce à l'invention, il est possible de configurer le lève-conteneurs de manière qu'en position haute du ou des bras principaux, l'armature soit inclinée de sorte que le haut de l'armature soit avancé par rapport à son bas, amorçant ainsi la bascule du conteneur. Ainsi, le pivotement de la chaise par rapport à l'armature peut être réduit à environ 90°. It can be seen that the system of lifting containers according to the invention allows a quasi-vertical rise and a tilting close to the rear wall of the box 2 (here: near the gate 45). This has an advantage to the climb (the initial climb almost vertical facilitates the gripping of containers of different sizes) and the descent (the removal of the container is done flat, for large containers on the four wheels, which excludes any risk tipping the container). However, the rise is not totally vertical, and this has the advantage that the container is already in an inclined position (FIG. 7c) when the final tilting movement is triggered (FIG. 7d). Thanks to the invention, it is therefore possible to configure the container lifter so that in the lower position of the main arm or arms, the frame - and thus the chair is inclined so that the top of the chair is in back of the bottom of the chair. Thus, the top of the chair can nest more easily with the top of the container. In addition, thanks to the invention, it is possible to configure the container hoist so that in the high position of the main arm or arms, the armature is inclined so that the top of the armature is advanced relative to its bottom, thus priming the tipping of the container. Thus, the pivoting of the chair relative to the frame can be reduced to about 90 °.
Ce système de lève-conteneurs permet de réduire la taille de la zone fonctionnelle, et il permet d'alléger le système de basculement pour des conteneurs lourds. Lorsque le conteneur atteint sa position haute, il est très proche de la zone de vidage, et il est inutile de le rapprocher de la benne avant de le basculer. This system lifts containers to reduce the size of the functional area, and it lighten the tipping system for heavy containers. When the container reaches its high position, it is very close to the emptying area, and it is useless to bring it closer to the bucket before tipping it.
Comme illustré sur la figure 8, le lève-conteneurs 3 selon l'invention peut être utilisé aussi bien dans la partie arrière de la benne (banne à chargement arrière) que sur le côté de la benne (benne à chargement latéral, appelée aussi par l'homme du métier une benne de type « side loader »), sans modification de la conception du lève-conteneurs 3 ; cela augmente sa polyvalence. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the container hoist 3 according to the invention can be used both in the rear part of the bucket (rear-loading apron) and on the side of the bucket (side-loading bucket, also called by the skilled person a side loader dump), without modification of the design of the lifter 3; this increases its versatility.
Comme illustré sur la figure 9, et cela s'applique aussi bien à son montage arrière qu'à son montage latéral, le lève-conteneurs selon l'invention peut être monté sur des châssis de véhicules utilitaires de gamme standard ayant, dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, typiquement une hauteur de la face supérieure des longerons de châssis d'environ 800 mm par rapport au sol 190. As illustrated in FIG. 9, and this applies as well to its rear mounting as to its lateral mounting, the hoist according to the invention can be mounted on standard commercial vehicle chassis having, in a advantageous embodiment, typically a height of the upper face of the chassis side members of about 800 mm from the ground 190.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, qui se prête en particulier au montage latéral, on dimensionne le lève-conteneurs de manière à permettre de vider le conteneur 180 à une hauteur minimum de 2200 mm (paramètres H3) tout en étant compact dans sa position basse (position rangée lorsque le véhicule de déplace) puisque son point haut est au plus de 1400 mm (paramètre H2). In a particular embodiment, which is particularly suitable for lateral mounting, the container lifter is dimensioned so as to allow emptying the container 180 to a minimum height of 2200 mm (parameters H3) while being compact in its low position. (stowed position when the vehicle moves) since its high point is at most 1400 mm (parameter H2).
D'une manière générale, le lève-conteneurs est avantageusement dimensionné de façon à garder un espace sous le lève-conteneurs 3, appelé « garde-au-sol » (paramètre H1 illustré sur la figure 9) suffisant pour assurer un roulage en toute sécurité (H1 compris entre 280 mm et 320 mm et de préférence entre 280 mm et 300 mm). (Il convient de noter que sur la figure 9, les pneumatiques du véhicule ne sont pas représentés.) Cela est obtenu par un agencement géométrique dans lequel l'axe de rotation A15 se situe au- dessus des axes A12 et A14. De plus, lorsqu'il est en position rangée (position la plus basse), la profondeur du lève-conteneurs selon l'invention est inférieure à 600 mm, et de préférence inférieure à 580 mm ; typiquement elle est comprise entre 550 mm à 600 mm. Cela permet de loger le lève-conteneurs 3 derrière le véhicule ou sur le flanc du véhicule sans dépasser du gabarit du véhicule. In general, the container lifter is advantageously dimensioned so as to keep a space under the lifter 3, called "ground clearance" (parameter H1 illustrated in FIG. 9), sufficient to ensure a smooth running of the vehicle. security (H1 between 280 mm and 320 mm and preferably between 280 mm and 300 mm). (It should be noted that in Figure 9, the tires of the vehicle are not shown.) This is obtained by a geometric arrangement in which the axis of rotation A15 is above the axes A12 and A14. In addition, when in the stowed position (lowest position), the depth of the hoist according to the invention is less than 600 mm, and preferably less than 580 mm; typically it is between 550 mm to 600 mm. This allows the container hoist 3 to be housed behind the vehicle or on the side of the vehicle without exceeding the size of the vehicle.
Employé dans une benne à chargement arrière, le lève-conteneurs 3 selon l'invention permet à la fois le chargement manuel par le portillon 52 à une hauteur d'environ 1400 mm à 1500 mm du sol 190, de minimiser le porte-à-faux arrière du véhicule et de faciliter le vidage par gravité du caisson 2 sans interférence avec le lève-conteneurs 3. Used in a rear-loading body, the container hoist 3 according to the invention allows both the manual loading by the gate 52 at a height of about 1400 mm to 1500 mm from the floor 190, to minimize the door-to-door false rear of the vehicle and facilitate the emptying of the box 2 by gravity without interference with the lifter 3.
