MULTIFUNCTIONAL CONTROL SYSTEM FOR USE IN A TIPPER VEHICLE

摘要

A multifunctional control system in combination with a vehicle (1 ) having a frame (2), a subframe (3), a tipper body (4) with a plurality of walls (6, 7), which is connected to the subframe (3) via a plurality of spherical supports (5), adapted to be selectively locked by means of pins (14), a lift cylinder (17) for lifting the body (4), a brake (10), a power takeoff (11) and an underrun protection bar (18). The control system comprises a plurality of sensors (23- 29) respectively for detecting the position of the walls (6, 7), the pins (14) and the cylinder (17), the operation of the brake (10), the engagement of the power takeoff (11) and the position of the bar (18), a central control unit (22) with sensors (23-29) connected thereto, and a terminal (30) connected to the unit (22) and designed to be actuated by an operator. The terminal (30) is an electronic device of tablet type having a touch-operated graphical interface (31 ) which is configured to select the tasks of opening the walls (6, 7), tipping the body (4) and positioning the bar (18) only if the power takeoff (11) is engaged, and comprises a speed limiter (32) and/or an acoustic or visual alert device (33) which is configured to be automatically operated to reduce the rotation speed of the engine and/or warn the operator about faults and hazard conditions if the body (4) remains in the lifted state and at least one wall (6, 7) remains in the open position.
