Description

35

The invention relates to a garbage container with a device for compacting garbage, which one between side walls of a pn of the filling opening attached dropping funnel comprises movable press plate by hydraulic cylinder, which between a Filling position and a pressing position can be moved back and forth and for emptying the garbage container can be pivoted together with the side cheeks around the upper edge of the filling opening into the emptying position.

A known device (DE-AS 19 27 800) has a transport container with an outwardly foldable rear wall to the content, in which the rear wall as Stuffing wall is used for garbage that has fallen into the transport container. To empty the container is on the top of which an opening is provided which is closed by a separate cover.

A known device of the type mentioned (DE-AS 22 16 056) has a complicated one Construction by having a separate press plate for pressing the garbage filled into the container Provides closing flap for closing the container. In order to bring the device into the filling position the press plate by means of a hydraulic cylinder around the upper edge of the filling opening out of the press position pivoted and finally the hinged to the press plate by further hydraulic cylinders Closing flap folded outwards to form a drop-in funnel. For operating the press plate and the closing flap as well as for emptying separate 1 hydraulic cylinders are required.

The object of the invention is to provide an embodiment that is structurally greatly simplified in comparison create, which manages in particular with a considerably smaller number of hydraulic cylinders

This object is achieved according to the invention in that that the press plate can be articulated to the filling opening by means of a locking device in such a way that the Press plate with only one pair of hydraulic cylinders slidable and / or optionally around their upper or Lower edge can be pivoted According to the proposal of the invention, there is now a pair of hydraulic cylinders required to bring the garbage container into its filling position or pressing position. The pressing device including the drive can be arranged on the container or independently of the container. In the case the arrangement of the pressing device on the container causes the removal of the container on so-called Dump trucks the possibility of separating the container from the pressure medium source for the hydraulic fluid to empty the through the pressure plate closed container, the pressure medium source of the skip truck is then connected.

In an expedient embodiment, the locking device comprises lower and upper latches. Here can by loosening the lower latch, the insertion funnel can be lifted off in its entirety or swiveled upwards. By releasing the top latch the press plate can be moved from its pressing position into a throw-in position in which it is with the Side cheeks forming a hopper This movement can be a tilting movement around the lower edge the pressure plate or a sliding movement perpendicular to the surface of the filling opening of the container, or be a superposition of both movements.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the According to the invention, the bolts are connected to one another via a linkage and can be actuated by means of a common drive. It goes without saying that the In this case, the latch is expediently 2-fold in each case, i.e. H. provided on opposite sides of the container are. In a further advantageous embodiment, the press plate is perpendicular between the side walls slidably guided to the filling opening.

Embodiments of the garbage container according to the invention are shown below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 described.

According to FIG. 1, the container 1 is connected to the hopper 2. The hopper 2 consists of opposite side walls 3; it is limited at the bottom by the press plate 4. The press plate 4 is in the throw-in position I, in the locking or pressing position II and in the emptying position III drawn. The press plate 4 is hinged with its lower edge at 5 on the side walls 3 So that the Press plate 4 between the throw-in position I and the press position II by the on each of its sides at 6 The hinged hydraulic cylinder 7 can be moved back and forth, the bolt 8 attached to the container I gives their upper edge free. The upper bolt 8 is actuated by a hydraulic cylinder 9, he approximately in a middle width of the container 1 is arranged and via a cross connection, not shown, the two opposite sides of the container 1 provided latch 8 actuated. The hydraulic cylinder 7 takes the shortened position when the pressing plate 4 assumes the pressing position H. By extending the piston 10 of the hydraulic cylinder 7 pivots the press plate 4 to which each hydraulic cylinder is hinged laterally is, in the throw-in position I. In this position, Jie press plate 4 strikes with its upper edge at U against one

the side cheeks 3 fixed stop (not shown).

To empty the container 11, a lower latch 12 on each side of the container 1 is released so that the hopper comes free from the bottom of the container. That Loosening takes place by stretching the hydraulic cylinder 9, whereby the upper bolt 8 is closed. Included the upper bolt 8 pivots about sei.cn pivot point 13 which is fixed to the container; at the same time the top latch 8 and the lower bolt 12 connecting rod 14 is raised and the lower bolt 12 around its Articulation point 15 pivoted counterclockwise on the container. In this one, opposite the one drawn Position opposite position of the lower bolt 12 and the upper bolt 8 pivots Insertion shaft 2 when the hydraulic cylinder 7 is extended into the emptying position of the HI Press plate upwards, while the pressure on the press plate causes the side cheeks 3 to move upwards panned.

As already stated, the lower edge 5 of the press plate is hinged to the side cheeks; their Upper edge 16 is in the emptying position IH the upper latch 8 held.

Different from Fig. 1 shows the FIG. 2 one Ausfühningsform in which an upper latch 17 and a lower latch 18 are each hinged to the hopper 2 The hopper 2 with the Side cheeks 3 also has a bottom 21, which in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 does not necessarily have to be present.

The press plate 4 is in the emptying position III according to the extended upper pivot position of the lateral hydraulic cylinder 7 drawn. Furthermore, the throw-in position I and the pressing position II are the Press plate 4 drawn in dashed lines.

Another difference to the embodiment according to FIG. 1 is that the lower edge 5 and the upper edge 16 of the press plate 4 in a corresponding lower edge 16 of the press plate 4 in a corresponding lower guide 22 and an upper guide 23 on the inner sides of the side walls 3 are performed, so that the press plate 4 from the pressing position H into the throw-in position I by partial Tilt around the lower edge 5 and move the entire press plate in the direction of arrow P.

The upper bolt 17 and the lower bolt 18 are actuated together by the hydraulic cylinder 24, the is drawn in the extended position In this position, the upper bolt 17 engages with its front Claw 25 around the upper edge 16 of the press plate, so that the «ε with respect to the hopper 2 is fixed. Of the The lower bar defines the lower edge 5 of the press plate 4 with its front claw 26.

In the other locking position, not shown, d. H. when the hydraulic cylinder 24 is shortened, the upper edge becomes the press plate 4 unlocked so that the press plate between the throw-in position I and the press position II can be moved back and forth; at the same time the lower bolt 18 is about the linkage connection 30 its pivot point 27 pivoted counterclockwise downwards; the one that protrudes downwards engages Claw 28 of the bolt 18 over a locking piece 29 in the area of the lower edge of the filling opening of the container 1, whereby the hopper 2 is attached to the container 1.

As in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 is also in the embodiment according to FIG. 2 the hopper 2 with its upper edge facing the container 1 on the container 1 about a horizontal axis pivoted articulated.
