Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle for transporting cargo, and more particularly, to an improved cargo mounting property in a vehicle such as a trailer or a truck that transports an air container.

  Air containers, that is, pallets and containers used for aircraft transportation are referred to as ULD (Unit Load Devices). Various ULDs have been developed with the introduction of large jets. Among the ULDs for air cargo, those that can be fixed directly to the aircraft cargo tensioning device include pallet nets, containers, and igloos, and some are used for integrated transportation.

  By the way, a pallet on which an air container is mounted has become a standard one called a 96-inch pallet. The 96-inch pallet is a common standard pallet for air cargo around the world with a pallet width of 96 inches (about 245 cm). Specifically, a 96 inch pallet has a base dimension of 318 × 244 cm (125 inches × 96 inches) and an inner dimension of 304 × 230 cm (120 inches × 91 inches). Of course, an air container having a plane size that can be mounted on a 96-inch pallet is also used as a standard. As long as the height dimension of the air container is only required to be able to be mounted on an aircraft, a height of 96 inches (about 245 cm) is also standard. This is referred to herein as a 96 inch container.

  FIG. 1 shows that a trailer 3 (including a truck) containing an air container 2 mounted on a 96-inch pallet 1 and a rear door 5 provided at the rearmost end of a roof 4 of the trailer 3 are opened for accommodation. It is a perspective view of a state. FIG. 2 is a side view of the air container 2 (or 96-inch pallet 1) fixed to the floor 7 of the trailer 3 with a stopper 6. FIG.

  Recently, as the size of the aircraft has increased, the ULD has also increased in size and the efficiency of transportation has been improved. For this reason, the number of 118-inch pallets that can be mounted on jumbo jets and the like is increasing. The 118-inch pallet has a height dimension of 118 inches (about 299 cm) corresponding to the height of 96 inches (about 245 cm) in the 96-inch pallet 1 described above, and the corresponding air container is 96 inches. Due to the same situation as the air container 2 for the pallet 1, the height is 118 inches. This is referred to herein as a 118 inch container.

However, the number of trailers or trucks (simply referred to as trailers in the present specification) that can carry such 118-inch containers is small because of the standard situation of 96-inch pallets as described above. Therefore, in order to mount the 118 inch container, as shown in FIG. 3, an open top type trailer 9 without a roof is used, and a hood sheet 10 is hung to protect the air container 2 and the like from wind and rain. The example shown in FIG. 3 shows an example in which a 96-inch container 2a and a 118-inch container 2b are mixedly loaded.

The illustrated trailer 20 is for transporting an air container mounted on a 96-inch pallet by opening the rear door 5 provided at the rear end of the vehicle body. Most of the structures are the same as in the previous embodiment, but the height of the canopy 22 is lower than in the previous embodiment. For this reason, since the gap between the canopy 22 and the rear door 5 is small, the rearmost reinforcing bar 31 is not attached with a blocking door, and the rear end side of the vehicle is covered only by the hood sheet 10. .

  17A is a rear view of the first embodiment, and FIG. 17B is a rear view of the second embodiment. The height of the floor 7 is the same and the height of the canopy 22 is in other words, the floor. 7 shows that there is a difference as shown in the height dimension of the cargo such as the air container 2 that can be mounted on the vehicle.

  That is, in any of the above-described embodiments, if the existing trailer is modified, the roof can be removed and the canopy 22 can be detachably attached to the side panel 21. The difference between the two embodiments is as follows. The first embodiment is taller and can accommodate either a 118-inch container or a 96-inch container, and the second embodiment is shorter and can accommodate only a 96-inch container. Since the structure is the same, the structure of either embodiment can be easily changed by replacing the canopy 22 by performing the above-described detaching operation. At this time, the hood sheet 10 also needs to be detached. However, since the rope 28 is only hooked and fixed to the hook 27 as described above, it is easy to completely remove it from the canopy 22 and apply it again. It is.

  FIG. 18 is a perspective view showing a third embodiment of the cargo transportation vehicle according to the present invention, and FIG. 19 is an enlarged side view thereof. The terminal awning bar 50 according to the present embodiment includes a pair of frames 51 and 51 having a substantially trapezoidal side shape with an open lower edge, and a crosspiece 52 that connects the uppermost rearmost ends of the frames 51. A blocking door 53 is attached to the crosspiece 52. The crosspiece 52 and the blocking door 53 may be integrated with each other using a panel material or the like.

  The frame 51 is pivotally supported on the side panel 21 at the lower end of the portion forming the slope on the front end side, and the frame 51 and the crosspiece 52 and the blocking door 53 are separated upward from the side panel 21 or The lower end portion of the rearmost end portion and the lower edge portion of the blocking door 53 are configured to be rotatable downward so as to ride on the side panel 21. Therefore, a cylinder 54 for driving up the terminal awning bar 50 and the blocking door 53 is provided at the upper edge of the side panel 21 inside the frame 51. Also, on the horizontal upper surface of the frame 51, a pipe connector 55 having the same structure as that of the pipe connector 30 used in the middle part in the previous embodiment is detachably attached with the same structure as in the previous embodiment. ing.

  Specifically, the terminal awning bar 50 of this embodiment is used to store the 96-inch container 2a in a state in which the lower end of the rearmost part of the frame 51 and the lower edge of the blocking door 53 are placed on the side panel 21. The height is slightly insufficient, and the height is configured to be significantly insufficient to accommodate the 118-inch container 2b. In accordance with the difference in height between the 96-inch container 2a and the 118-inch container 2b, two types of pipe coupling bodies 55 to be attached to the frame body 51 and two types of pipe coupling bodies 30 to be attached to the side panels 21 are prepared (in the drawing). The pipe connectors 30 and 55 are shown with a on the upper side and b on the lower side), and by attaching and detaching and replacing them in accordance with the container for storing them, the 96-inch container 2a can also be 118. The inch container 2b can also be stored. Of course, with the bottom end of the frame 51 and the lower edge of the blocking door 53 placed on the side panel 21, the height of the terminal awning bar 50 is just high enough to accommodate the 96 inch container 2a, The required pipe connection body 55 can also be made into one type.

  The reason why the shape of the frame body 51 is substantially trapezoidal is that when the end awning bar 50 is flipped up, there is a rotation angle at which the pipe coupling body 55 and the pipe coupling body 30 collide with each other and cannot be further rotated. This is to increase the angle as much as possible so that the 118-inch container 2b can be stored with some margin. In FIG. 19, the turning angle of the terminal awning bar 50 is about 90 degrees. Of course, various modifications can be considered for the shape of the frame 51, and the frame 51 is not limited to the illustrated example. Other configurations and operations are the same as those in the previous embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.
