Abstract (en)

The refuse collection vehicle (100) comprises a sub-structure and a super-structure. The sub-structure comprises: a chassis frame (102), a driver's cab (103), a combustion engine (301), a fuel tank (106), a PTO (304) and a dynamo (302) both driven by the combustion engine, a chassis battery (303) charged by the dynamo, and a driving functions system (400) powered by the chassis battery. The super-structure comprises: a refuse collection body (104), a refuse compactor (311), a lifting device (101) for lifting refuse bins (202), and hydraulics. The hydraulics comprise a mechanical pump (305) mechanically driven by the PTO, an electrical pump (307) electrically driven by an electric motor powered by the chassis battery, a compactor actuator (310) actuating the compactor, a lift actuator system (201) actuating the lifting device, a compactor feedline (251) downstream attached to the compactor actuator and upstream connected with the mechanical pump, a hydraulic switch (309) having an outlet, a first and second inlet. The switch is switching between: a first condition in which the first inlet is connected with the outlet whilst the second inlet is closed, and a second condition in which the second inlet is connected with the outlet whilst the first inlet is closed. The hydraulics further comprise a lift feedline (352) downstream attached to the lift actuator system and upstream attached to the outlet of the hydraulic switch, a first switch feedline (354) downstream attached to the first inlet and an upstream connected to the mechanical pump, and a second switch feedline (353) downstream attached to the second inlet and upstream connected to the electrical pump.
