Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

The present invention relates to a two-layer bicycle-dedicated loading unit box that can be attached to or loaded from a truck body, and a bicycle-dedicated transport vehicle integrated with a work table and a loading ramp.

  Conventionally, when a large number of bicycles are transported, they are transported by truck, but only one layer can be loaded on the vehicle body, and the loading and unloading work method has taken a means for raising and lowering the bicycle manually.

Problems to be solved by the invention

  However, for example, in order to secure a large number of bicycles for loading and unloading in a short time under limited conditions such as in front of the station and the number of loaded vehicles, there is a limit in terms of securing a safe work space and working efficiency in the conventional method. .

  In addition, since the preceding multi-layer bicycle-dedicated transport vehicle is premised on manufacturing a vehicle exclusively for it, there is a problem that it is costly and there is a concern that it may be put to practical use.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a structure that can be used as a bicycle-dedicated transport vehicle by installing a two-layer bicycle-dedicated loading unit box on a vehicle body portion of a hand-held truck.

Means to solve the problem

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, for example, the inside of the one-box unit of the present invention that can be attached to the vehicle body of a hand-held truck is provided with a partition floor plate that is divided into two layers. The other side is a structure and device that can be moved up and down by a hoisting device.

  Then, lay a plurality of rails in the vertical direction on the floor surface of the single layer part and the double layer part, and place a U-shaped frame cart that fits the front and rear wheels of the bicycle on the rail, to prevent the bicycle from falling over A device incorporating a fence and a carriage and a stopper for maintaining the distance between the carriages integrates and stores the device that moves on the rail in the unit box.

  In addition, a part of the bicycle loading / unloading side wall of the unit has an inclined road plate for loading and unloading bicycles, a work table plate for loading / unloading work, and all devices and structures that can be assembled as eaves. Provided is a two-layer bicycle-dedicated loading unit box that can be installed on a vehicle body or installed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an example of an implementation in which the two-layer bicycle loading unit box of the present invention is attached to a truck body and modified as a bicycle transport vehicle. Other than the example, this unit can be simply installed on the truck bed.

  Further, FIG. 1 shows that the bicycle transport vehicle modified in this way is stopped at the bicycle loading site for loading work, and a part of the side wall, which is the structure of the unit, is used for the bicycle loading / unloading ramp and work table. In the embodiment of the embodiment, it is assembled as a roof that can be used as a roof, packed in two layers in the unit, lifted the semi-movable floor, loaded on one part of the space that has been raised, and waiting to be loaded in the remaining space It is a schematic perspective view.

  In FIG. 1, the ramp is assembled on the driver's seat side, but the ramp and the work table portion linked to the ramp can be rearranged so that it can be lifted from either the driver's seat side or the opposite side. Yes, it can be assembled and used as an awning that avoids rain by opening and closing the upper part of the wall surface to improve work efficiency.

  By providing this integrated ramp using the unit side wall and a workbench, all the problems associated with the conventional work of lifting and loading the entire bicycle, etc., can be solved.

  This makes it possible to carry in a short time in a limited area such as in front of the station, improve the safety work and improve the efficiency of workers with insufficient power. The column at the bottom of the workbench has a structure that can be adjusted in height according to the ground level.

  In addition, the ramp and the work table require a safety protection fence, and these materials are preferably lightweight materials such as mesh steel plates, aluminum plates, or wood. Further, the method for assembling the wall surface and the ramp and the workbench includes a power method and a manual method, but is not particularly limited.

  FIG. 2 is a view of the entire unit box as viewed from the rear. It should be noted that the outer dimensions of the box shown in this figure and the vehicle height after installation on the truck, the length of the vehicle body, and the vehicle width must be within the ranges defined by the relevant laws.

  FIG. 2 is a view of the state in which the movable floor is lowered to one layer and the bicycle is loaded in the space of the two layers as viewed from the rear of the truck. It seems to be loaded onto a bicycle cart on the rail.

  The structure of the carriage for placing the bicycle has an upward cono-shaped groove for fixing the tire, and when the bicycle's front and rear wheels are placed along the groove, the bicycle can be easily fixed so that it does not move. And there is a simple device that can be unlocked when lowering the bicycle, and a bicycle fall prevention fence is provided. The structure of these devices is not particularly limited.

  The upper part of the box in this figure is equipped with a simple lift that raises and lowers the movable part of the floor that supports a part of the side after the bicycle is fully loaded, but these are manual, electric, hydraulic, etc. The means is not limited. It is assumed that a movable floor fixing device that secures safety by fixing the raised movable floor is attached, and a complete emergency stop device and alarm device are provided during the lift operation.

  FIG. 3 is a view of the state when the bicycle is fully loaded in the single layer portion and the double layer portion as seen from the rear of the track. As shown in the figure, the bicycle entry / exit side is a movable floor, which is raised and lowered using the lift described above, and the opposite floor is a fulcrum on the wall side. In addition, it is safer and the apparatus is simpler than a method in which the entire floor of the second layer is moved up and down by a method in which one side is movable.

  The floor has a structure in which a bicycle is loaded and moves up and down at a certain angle, and is a view of an example in which the bicycle is fully loaded in the unit that can secure a first-cycle bicycle loading space as viewed from the rear of the truck body.

  Fig. 4 shows two rails on the movable floor, and a U-shaped movable bicycle carriage that puts both bicycle tires on the rail to secure the bicycle. The bicycle is placed on the carriage, This is an example of sliding on the rail and sequentially packing from the back.

  Moreover, in order to perform loading work quickly, it is the Example which is made to wait in the work-table part in order to load the next bicycle. This integrated wall-use ramp and work table will improve work efficiency for carrying in and out bicycles.

  Furthermore, the carriage is combined with a stopper that can be set and released with a single touch, and is easily operated to maintain the distance between the front and the back of the carriage.

  As can be understood from the figure, by alternating the direction of the bicycle in both the first layer and the second layer, the handles of adjacent bicycles do not interfere with each other, and the number of loaded vehicles can be secured.

The invention's effect

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

  By adopting a unit type in which all devices are accommodated, it can be easily mounted on a vehicle body such as an existing truck or a new truck, and the existing truck can be used effectively.

    Since it is a unit type that can be attached to the car body, it is possible to secure a bicycle load capacity by deferring a unit within the legal range according to the remodeling standards even if the truck bed is short.

  Even if the body width is narrow so that the bicycle cannot be stacked sideways, it may be possible to use it as a transport truck that can be stacked horizontally by deferring units within the legal range of the modification standards.

  The number of bicycles can be greatly increased by using a partly movable movable floor, and the number of bicycles required can be reduced compared to the method of moving up and down the entire two-layer floor. Manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  Since one side is fixed, the entire floor will not drop even if an operation error occurs, ensuring safety in terms of structure.

  By combining the rails and the bicycle carriage and sliding them, you can load them regularly in the loading space without waste, and you can work safely and comfortably even in narrow spaces where people cannot work.

  Since the shape of the carriage is a cono-shaped frame, placing the bicycle tires in the frame to embed them will keep the orientation of the loaded bicycle constant, so the bicycle will not fall down without standing the bicycle stand. Efficient loading work.

  By securing the wall-integrated ramp and work table, it is not necessary to lift the bicycle body when loading and unloading the bicycle, so that work efficiency and safety can be improved. Also, during loading and unloading work, you can work without getting in the way of passersby.

  By installing eaves, measures can be taken when it rains.
