Is retracted to an unused position on the side of the driver's seat 2 as indicated by the imaginary line, so that the conductor handles the collection of the fare.

[0003]

In such a configuration, in a non-one-man mode where the passenger carrying the bus handles the collection of a fare, the fare box is evacuated to an unused position near the driver's seat. Although it indicates that fare payment will not be handled, the fare box is a halfway evacuation position that is hidden depending on the passenger's boarding position, so it may be wondering where the passenger should pay the fare. Also, in one-man driving where the driver directly handles the collection of fares, the fare box is located far away from the driver's seat, so the driver has to stand in the driver's seat each time and move to the front of the fare box. However, there is a problem that it takes time to deal with passengers, and as a result, the operation time is extended.

[0004] Further, there is an operational burden of moving the heavy fare box between the use position and the retreat position every time the one-man and non-one-man operation is switched, and furthermore, a guide for moving the fare box. Since the rails are laid on the floor surface, irregularities occur on the floor surface, which makes it difficult to walk and makes cleaning difficult.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to clarify the handling of a fare box during one-man operation and non-one-man operation so that passengers will not be confused. It is an object of the present invention to provide a fare box partition structure for a one-man vehicle that can be recognized and that can easily switch between use and non-use of the fare box.

And a partition window that covers the fare input space above the partition door so as to be openable and closable. The opening and closing of the partition door and the partition window may be any of a pivot type such as a swing door and a slide type such as a sliding door, and the partition door and the partition window may be integrated or separate.

[0007] With this configuration, in a non-one-man operation in which the passenger carrying the vehicle collects the fare, the partition door and the partition window are moved to the closed position so that the partition door covers the passenger side of the fare box. In addition, the partition window covers the fare input space above the partition door, respectively, and separates between the fare box and the passenger compartment, so that the fare box cannot be used.

In a one-man operation in which the driver directly handles the collection of the fare, a partition door and a partition window are opened, so that the partition door is located on the side of the passenger compartment of the fare box, and the partition window is located above the partition door. Evacuate each of the fare input spaces,
The fare box is exposed to the passenger cabin, and the fare box can be used. The fare box is fixed in the vicinity of the driver's seat, so that the driver can perform a fare collection operation while sitting in the driver's seat.

[0009] As a specific configuration for slidingly opening and closing the partition window, an upper guide rail and a lower guide rail are provided in parallel on the partition window opening side of the fare input space, and the upper guide rail is positioned above the fare input space. It is possible to extend and slidably suspend the upper two portions of the partition window on the upper guide rail, and slidably support one lower side of the partition window on the lower guide rail. In this configuration, since the lower guide rail does not protrude toward the passenger side of the fare box, it is excellent in convenience and safety for passengers, and further contributes to reduction of material costs.
