Bin for a rubbish collection vehicle with improved compaction

A rubbish collection vehicle, comprising:

• a caisson to store the rubbish, the caisson having a front wall;
• a system to compact the rubbish stored in the caisson, the system having:
• a frame formed by the caisson;
• a carrier to be moved in forwardly and rearwardly directions relative to the frame;
• at a top and at a bottom of the carrier, at least one bearing shoe, and at least one lateral guide shoe fixed to the carrier, and which is to cooperate with the frame in order to guide the carrier in its movement;
• an upper scoop pivotably mounted to the carrier about a first horizontal axis, and having an upper face to mill the rubbish, the upper face having a first projection, the upper scoop being moveable to take a downwardly deployed position when the upper face is facing the front wall;
• and
• a lower scoop pivotably mounted to the upper scoop about a second horizontal axis, and having a lower face to mill the rubbish, the lower face having a second projection, the lower scoop being moveable to take a downwardly deployed position when the lower face is facing the front wall such that the first projection, in a transverse plane relative to the forwardly and rearwardly directions, has a surface greater than or equal to the second projection in the transverse plane,
• wherein the carrier is moveable in the forwardly direction when the upper scoop and the lower scoop is respectively in the deployed position, in such a way as to compact the rubbish between the upper and lower faces and the front wall.

A system for compacting rubbish, comprising:

• a frame having a front wall;
• a carrier to be moved in forwardly and rearwardly directions relative to the frame;
• at least one first cylinder to actuate the carrier, and having a rear end fixed to a rear of the carrier and a front end to be fixed to the frame in front of the carrier;
• an upper scoop pivotably mounted to the carrier about a first horizontal axis, and having an upper face to mill the rubbish, the upper face having a first projection, the upper scoop being moveable to take a downwardly deployed position when the upper face is facing the front wall;
• at least one second cylinder to actuate the upper scoop, and having a front end pivotably mounted to the carrier about a third horizontal axis spatially higher than the first horizontal axis, and a rear end pivotably mounted to the upper scoop about a fourth horizontal axis spatially higher than the second horizontal axis;
• a lower scoop pivotably mounted to the upper scoop about a second horizontal axis, and having a lower face to mill the rubbish, the lower face having a second projection, the lower scoop being moveable to take a downwardly deployed position when the lower face is facing the front wall such that the first projection, in a transverse plane relative to the forwardly and rearwardly directions, has a surface greater than or equal to the second projection in the transverse plane;
• and
• at least one third cylinder to actuate the lower scoop, and having a front end pivotably mounted to the upper scoop about a fifth horizontal axis spatially higher than the second horizontal axis and located in front of the fourth horizontal axis, and a rear end pivotably mounted to the lower scoop about a sixth horizontal axis,
• wherein the carrier is moveable in the forwardly direction when the upper scoop and the lower scoop is respectively in the deployed position, in such a way as to compact the rubbish between the upper and lower faces and the front wall.
