JP2001088775A - Support device for liftable deck on automobile carrier - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a support device for a liftable deck capable of receiving a load on a surface by a stopper to support the liftable deck and reducing vibration and noise even in the case when the liftable deck is deflected by the load on the liftable deck of an automobile carrier. SOLUTION: This support device is a support device of a liftable deck on an automobile carrier and is devised to support the liftable deck through an elastic material by installing the elastic material such as rubber on an upper surface of a stopper to support the liftable deck.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for supporting a liftable deck in a car carrier.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Car carriers are equipped with liftable decks whose deck spacing can be adjusted according to the application. For example, when loading passenger cars, the deck spacing,
The ceiling may be low, but when loading trucks and buses, the ceiling must be high. For this reason, some decks are configured as liftable decks that can be moved up and down by lifters, jacks, etc. along fixed pillars.

FIG. 3 is a view showing the concept of a liftable deck, wherein 1 is a fixed pillar made of I-shaped steel or the like, 2 is a liftable deck, and a lower stopper fixed to a lower portion of the fixed pillar 1. 3 or by a lifter car or jack (not shown) and supported by a foldable upper stopper 4 mounted on the upper part of the fixed pillar 1.

However, the liftable deck 2 bends when an automobile is mounted. FIG. 4 shows this bent state. For example, FIG. 4A shows a state where no automobile is mounted, and FIG. 4B shows a state where an automobile is mounted. When the vehicle is bent on the liftable deck 2 as described above, the stoppers 3 and 4 come into line contact, and the load of the vehicle loaded on the liftable deck 2 is received by the line.

As described above, if the load is received not by a surface but by a line, a load larger than the design load is intensively applied to the upper surfaces of the stoppers 3 and 4, and there is a problem in strength. Was. Further, since the materials of the liftable deck 2 and the stoppers 3 and 4 are metal materials, there is an inconvenience that noise is generated when the liftable deck 2 vibrates minutely.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a lifter for a car carrier so that a stopper supporting the liftable deck receives a load on its surface even when the liftable deck is bent by a load. To do,
Another object of the present invention is to provide a liftable deck support device capable of reducing vibration and noise.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a support device for a liftable deck in a car carrier. Added support for double decks.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. The same parts as those of the conventional type shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the detailed description is omitted. FIG. 1 is a side view of a liftable deck supporting apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view of the same.

The fixed pillar 1, the liftable deck 2, and the upper stopper 4 are the same as the conventional one shown in FIGS. Reference numeral 5 denotes a rubber material attached to the upper surface of the upper stopper 4. The rubber material 5 may be adhered to the upper surface of the stopper 4 or may be covered with a cap so as to cover the upper surface of the stopper 4. Although not shown, a rubber material is similarly attached to the upper surface of the lower stopper 3.

As described above, since the liftable deck 2 is supported via the rubber material 5, even when the liftable deck 2 is bent by mounting an automobile as shown in FIG. The rubber material 5 is deformed by the load, and the stopper 4 receives the load on the surface. FIG. 1A shows a state where no automobile is mounted. Also, for example, even if vibration occurs in the liftable deck 2, the vibration is absorbed by the rubber material 5, and the metal materials do not come into contact with each other, thereby suppressing noise.

[0011]

According to the present invention, since the liftable deck is supported by the stopper via the elastic material, even if the load is applied and the liftable deck is bent, the load applied to the stopper due to the deformation of the elastic material is reduced. Can be received at Thereby, the surface pressure of the stopper can be kept low.
Further, since the liftable deck and the stopper are in contact with each other via the elastic material, the vibrations of both can be absorbed, and the noise generated by the contact between the two can be reduced.
