Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a van-type refrigerating vehicle capable of securing a rear view from a driver's seat through a rear window.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, refrigerated vehicles are increasingly used as home delivery vehicles. Among them, small-sized refrigerated trucks are used for small-scale home delivery, but the percentage of part-timers who engage in small-size home delivery is not a so-called professional driver but high. Therefore, there is a strong tendency to seek ease of driving. Specifically, this ease of driving means that the vehicle is small and easy to handle, and that the rear view is secured when the vehicle is backed up. Although it is sufficient to change the size of the vehicle to a smaller size, there is no way to solve this problem because the frozen vehicle cannot open windows that impair heat insulation due to the mounting of containers in terms of rear visibility. In addition, instead of conventional truck-type refrigerated vehicles,
Demand for van-type refrigerating vehicles is increasing for reasons such as good appearance and good handling.

In the case of a van-type refrigerator car, the arrangement of the condenser of the refrigerator and (in the case of the electric refrigerator, an outdoor unit in which the compressor, the condenser and the motor are integrated) pose a problem. In the case of a truck-type refrigerating vehicle, the condenser 100 and the like as shown in FIG.
2 or a side-under type in which the condenser 100 and the like are arranged below the luggage compartment 103 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the capacitor 100 or the like as shown in FIG.
Or a roof-mounted type that is mounted on a roof panel (not shown).

[0004]

However, in the front-under type, the condenser 105 for the air conditioner is arranged, so that the large condenser 1 for the refrigerator is limited in space.
It is difficult to provide 00 etc. Further, the radiator 106 is also very close to the radiator 106, which is not preferable in terms of heat damage such as overheating. On the other hand, if it is a roof mount type,
Although the condenser is most preferable in terms of heat dissipation, the roof of the vehicle is generally not strong enough to mount the condenser and the outdoor unit, so that it is impossible in terms of strength and rigidity. In this case, it is technically possible to reinforce the roof of the vehicle so that a condenser or outdoor unit can be installed.However, this involves significant capital investment and an increase in the number of work steps. Cannot be adopted.

[0005] The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and mounts a refrigeration system on a roof without significantly improving the vehicle.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a van-type refrigerating vehicle capable of securing a rear view from a driver's seat through a rear window.

[0006]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a container having a height enough to secure a rear view from a driver's seat through a rear window is mounted in a luggage compartment of a van type vehicle. An arch-shaped mount member extending toward the ceiling surface of the luggage compartment is mounted on the vehicle, and a refrigeration system that sends cool air to the container is mounted on a roof of the vehicle, and the refrigeration system is mounted on the roof member through the roof. It has been supported by.

3, a mounting hole 36 is formed in the front end surface 13a, and a net or a transparent plastic plate 33 is screwed to the mounting hole 36.

Next, the operation of the present invention having the above configuration will be described. In the van-type refrigerator car 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention,
A mounting hole 21 is formed in a roof panel 18 of a normal van type vehicle, and a cutout portion 20 is formed in a roof lining 19. Then, a container 9 as a freezer is mounted in the luggage compartment 4 of the van-type vehicle with the back door opened. The container 9 is assembled at a height at which a view from the driver's seat 3 through the rear window 8 can be secured. The refrigeration system mount member 13 attached to the container 9 is disposed on the rear side of the seat 10 in the driver's seat 3 along the roof panel 18. The refrigerating device mount bracket 15 attached to the refrigerating device mount member 13 is disposed so as to come into contact with an inner surface side 18 a of the roof panel 18 from a cutout portion 20 formed in the roof lining 19. The mounting holes 16 of the refrigeration system mount bracket 15
To fit into the mounting hole 21 of the roof panel 18,
The refrigeration unit mount stay 23 is attached to the refrigeration unit mount bracket 15 through the bolt 22 and the bolt 22 and the nut 22a. At this time, the lower flange portion 23a of the refrigerator mount stay 23 and the roof panel 1
8, a seal washer 25 is provided.

In this manner, a pair of refrigeration unit mount stays 23 is attached to the roof panel 18, and a refrigeration unit 30 for supplying cool air into the container 9 is mounted on the refrigeration unit mount stay 23. This refrigeration system mount stay 23
A vibration isolating rubber 27 and a bush 28 are previously mounted in the mounting hole 26. Then, a mounting bolt 29 is inserted into the mounting hole 26 of the refrigerator mount stay 23 and the mounting hole 32 formed in the case 31, and the nut 29 is inserted into the mounting bolt 29.
a is screwed to fix the refrigeration apparatus 30. Thus, the refrigeration apparatus 30 is mounted on the roof panel 18 of the van type vehicle,
Holes are made in the roof panel 18 near the refrigerating device 30 to provide refrigerant piping and electrical wiring. This hole is sealed with a grommet or the like.

As described above, the van-type refrigerating vehicle according to the above-described embodiment can be changed to a refrigerating vehicle by making a slight improvement to a normal van-type vehicle, so that it is economical and secures a rear view. Because it is possible, a person who is not used to driving can easily drive. Further, since the size of the container 9 can be arbitrarily changed, the container capacity can be easily changed according to the amount of the conveyed object. Further, since the refrigeration apparatus 30 can be mounted on the roof panel 18, there is no need to take up space in the luggage compartment 4.
Effective utilization in the luggage compartment 4 can be achieved. Further, since the refrigerating device 30 is supported by the refrigerating device mount member 13,
Because the heavy weight does not hang on the roof panel 18,
There is no need to reinforce the roof panel 18. When the refrigeration apparatus 30 is supported by the refrigeration apparatus mount member 13, the vibration of the refrigeration apparatus 30 is not easily transmitted to the vehicle body 2, so that the noise can be extremely reduced. Container 9
Since the height is kept low, the rear view from the driver's seat 3 can be secured, and the upper part of the container 9 can be used. Further, even when an object is placed on the upper portion of the container 9, the net or the transparent plastic plate 33 can prevent the container 9 from falling from the front.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. The net or the transparent plastic plate 31 may be made of any material as long as it is a shield having a good rear view. be able to.
Needless to say, the present invention can be appropriately changed and implemented without departing from the scope of the present invention.
