Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vehicle for handling materials and earth moving.
  • This dashboard normally includes brackets for different elements, such as information displays, rear-view mirrors, push buttons, handles, electrical installations, etc.
  • the driver protection function of the dashboard is used to house a steering column and various commands for operating the vehicle.
  • the dashboard can also be used to house electronics inside or to support other devices.
  • these vehicles usually comprise plastic or metal tanks located at different positions on the machine, with a physical separation between the dashboard and the liquid storage.
  • a disadvantage of this type of vehicle currently known is that the number of parts and the difficulties of location have a direct impact on the cost of the vehicle, making it more expensive.
  • WO2007077793A1 discloses a tractor to provide an assist grip for facilitating worker's entry into and exit from an operation section.
  • the tractor comprises a dashboard disposed at a rear portion of a bonnet, and a fuel tank or the like is housed inside the dashboard.
  • an objective of the present invention is to provide a vehicle for handling materials and earthmoving with reduced cost, using the vehicle's dashboard for other functions.
  • the vehicle for handling materials and earthmoving comprises a dashboard including a liquid reservoir, which advantageously is formed in one piece with the rest of the dashboard.
  • the liquid reservoir comprises a cap that closes a filling orifice, a level sensor, and/or a filter.
  • the dashboard may also comprise a housing for electronic components, side handles, and/or one or more brackets for one or more mirrors.
  • the dashboard comprises an outer skin and an inner skin.
  • the empty volume of the interior of the dashboard is used to store any kind of liquid, giving an added value to the compactness of the vehicle.
  • FIG. 1 shows the vehicle for handling materials and earthmoving according to the present invention, comprising a dashboard, indicated in general by reference number 1.
  • This dashboard (1) is preferably used to provide protection for the driver of the vehicle.
  • the dashboard (1) comprises a liquid reservoir (2), shown in figure 2 , which is formed in one piece with the rest of the dashboard (1), i.e. the liquid reservoir (2) is integrated into the dashboard (1).
  • the liquid reservoir (2) is preferably located at a lower position of the dashboard (1).
  • the liquid reservoir (2) comprises a cap (3) which closes a filling orifice, the cap (3) being easily accessible from the outside.
  • the liquid reservoir (2) also preferably comprises a level sensor (4) to provide information about the liquid level inside the reservoir (2) and a filter (5) to prevent unwanted elements from accidentally entering the interior of the reservoir (2).
  • the dashboard (1) also comprises a housing (7) for electronic components, side handles (6), and one or more brackets (8) for one or more mirrors.
  • the dashboard (1) is mainly made up of a single piece that includes different functions.
  • This piece that forms the dashboard (1) is preferably developed with rotational molding technology and includes an external skin, where different metal inserts capable of holding other elements are made.
  • the part also includes an inner skin, with which it is possible to create volumes to contain the liquid. Thanks to the preferred manufacturing technology, this can be of complex shapes and make good use of all the gaps.
  • the fastening of the dashboard (1) to the rest of the vehicle is preferably done at the bottom, thus leaving the entire volume to the outside of the vehicle.
  • the geometry of the dashboard (1) has an aesthetic component, but mainly the shapes it develops are to make the most of the non-interference spaces between the different moving parts of the vehicle.
