A modular electric power take-off (E-PTO) system for a refuse vehicle includes a modular housing. The modular E-PTO also includes a motor, an inverter, a battery, and a hydraulic pump positioned within the modular housing. The modular housing is removably coupled with a front of a waste receptacle or a hopper of the waste receptacle of a refuse vehicle.

Modular electronic power take-off unit for a refuse vehicle with high voltage connection point

A refuse vehicle includes a body coupled at least one of the frame and the chassis, a battery configured to provide electrical power to a first motor, a vehicle body supported by the chassis and defining a receptacle for storing refuse therein, an electric power take-off system coupled to the vehicle body, the electric power take-off system including a second motor configured to convert electrical power received from the battery into hydraulic power, one or more microphones coupled to the body and configured to detect noise, one or more speakers coupled to the body configured to emit noise reducing sounds, and a controller configured to receive data related to the detected noise from the one or more microphones and cause the one or more speakers to emit the noise reducing sounds in response to the data received from the one or more microphones.

Refuse vehicle with sound management

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis having a chassis frame member, a refuse collection body having a body frame member, and a battery mounted to the chassis frame member, and a body tie-down assembly. The body tie-down assembly includes a chassis mounting member, a body mounting member, a spring assembly, and a retainer plate. The body mounting member has brackets that define a cavity and retaining slots. The top member of the chassis mounting member may be received within the cavity defined by the brackets. The spring assembly includes a spring, a bolt, and a nut. The retainer plate includes a slot. The bolt further extends through a top member of the chassis mounting member and the slot of the retainer plate and receives the nut. The bolt is received within the retaining slots during removal of the bolt to prohibit the bolt from coming in contact with the battery.

Body tie-down

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage device, a vehicle body, an electric power take-off system, and a hydraulic component. The energy storage device is supported by the chassis and is configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover. Activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle. The vehicle body is supported by the chassis, and includes an on-board receptacle for storing refuse therein. The electric power take-off system is positioned on the vehicle body, and includes an electric motor configured to drive a hydraulic pump to convert electrical power received from the energy storage device into hydraulic power. An amount of electrical power at least one of received by and provided to the electric motor is limited by a controller to control an output characteristic of the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic component is in fluid communication with the hydraulic pump and configured to operate using hydraulic power from the electric power take-off system.

Electric power take-off pump control system

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis supporting a plurality of wheels, a battery configured to provide electrical energy to drive at least one of the plurality of wheels, a vehicle body supported by the chassis and defining a receptacle for storing refuse therein, and an electric power take-off module removably coupled to the vehicle body, wherein the electric power take-off module includes an electric power take-off system including a motor configured to receive electrical energy from the battery and provide power to a hydraulic system in response to receiving the electrical energy from the battery.

Refuse vehicle with electric power take-off

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis supporting a plurality of wheels, a battery configured to provide electrical energy to drive at least one of the plurality of wheels, a vehicle body supported by the chassis and defining a receptacle for storing refuse therein, and an electric power take-off module removabley coupled to the vehicle body, wherein the electric power take-off module includes an electric power take-off system including a motor configured to receive electrical energy from the battery and provide power to a hydraulic system in response to receiving the electrical energy from the battery.

A refuse vehicle includes a battery configured to provide electrical energy to drive at least one of a plurality of wheels, a vehicle body supported by the chassis and defining a receptacle for storing refuse therein, and an electric power take-off system including a motor configured to power to a hydraulic system in response to receiving the electrical energy from the battery, an inverter configured to provide the electrical energy to the motor from the battery, a sensor configured to detect thermal energy within the inverter, and a controller configured to receive data from the sensor, wherein the controller is further configured to determine if the data from the sensor is greater than a critical operating condition and reduce a rate of electrical energy supplied to the motor in response to determining that the data from the sensor is greater than the critical operating condition.

System and method for electronic power take-off controls

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage device, a body, a first electric power take-off system, and a second electric power take-off system. The energy storage device is supported by the chassis and is configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover. Activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle. The body is supported by the chassis. The first electric power take-off system is coupled to at least one of the body and the chassis, and includes a first motor that is configured to drive a first hydraulic pump to convert electrical power received from the energy storage device into hydraulic power. The second electric power take-off system is coupled to at least one of the body and the chassis, and includes a second motor that is configured to drive a second hydraulic pump to convert electrical power received from the energy storage device into hydraulic power.

Control system for a refuse vehicle

An attachment system includes a lateral member and an attachment interface. The attachment interface is configured to selectively engage with an attachment to facilitate releasably coupling the attachment to a vehicle. The attachment interface includes a first connecting plate coupled to the lateral member proximate a first end of the lateral member and a second connecting plate coupled to the lateral member proximate an opposing second end of the lateral member. Each of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate includes (i) an upper interface positioned at an upper end thereof and (ii) a lower interface positioned at a lower end thereof. The upper interface of each of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate defines a first aperture. The lower interface of each of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate defines a second aperture.

Attachment system for vehicle

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage device, a body, an electric power take-off system, and a disconnect. The energy storage device is supported by the chassis and is configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover. Activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle. The body is supported by the chassis and defines a receptacle for storing refuse. The electric power take-off system is positioned on the refuse vehicle, and includes a motor that is configured to drive a hydraulic pump to convert electrical power received from the energy storage device into hydraulic power. The disconnect is positioned between the energy storage device and the electric power take-off system and is configured to selectively decouple the electric power take-off system from the energy storage device.

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a first energy storage device, a body, an electric power take-off system, and a subsystem coupled to the body and moveable using hydraulic power from the electric power take-off system. The first energy storage device (e.g., a battery) is supported by the chassis and is configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover. Activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle. The body is configured for storing refuse, and is supported by the chassis. The electric power take-off system is positioned on the body and includes an electric motor, a second energy storage device configured to provide electric power to the electric motor, and a hydraulic pump that is drive by the electric motor.
