Description

  The present invention relates to a fire-fighting pump-equipped vehicle in which a fire-fighting pump is installed on a carrier.

  Such fire-fighting pump-carrying vehicles (hereinafter referred to as “pump-carrying vehicles”) are vehicles intended to perform fire extinguishing activities at the fire site when a fire breaks out. In addition, it is desirable to provide a pump-equipped vehicle that can support activities after a disaster. For example, there is a demand for a pump-equipped vehicle that can be equipped with equipment necessary for lifesaving and communication means using a satellite. As a result, a pump-carrying vehicle capable of supporting activities requires a storage space that can store more equipment than before. In particular, a fire-fighting pump-equipped vehicle with a water tank mounted on the cargo bed stores water in the water tank at the time of or after a disaster and uses this water as fire-fighting water or domestic water. Since the size of the storage space is limited, it is difficult to expand the storage space.

  FIG. 4 (side view) shows a pump-mounted vehicle 80 equipped with this water tank. As shown in the figure, the pump-equipped vehicle 80 has a water tank in which a water tank is installed on the rear side from the front side of the body 11 of the loading platform 11 that extends from the operation cabin 7 disposed on the front side of the body 3 to the rear side of the vehicle body. A space 41, a piping space 26 for installing piping facilities, a pump space 23 for installing a fire fighting pump, and a storage space 51 are arranged. The storage space 51 is arranged at the rearmost part of the loading platform 11 in order to facilitate the operation of putting in and out the equipment.

  Here, the fire pump can be operated directly on the operation panel provided on the side surface of the piping facility, while being directly operable. When operating the fire pump directly, with the pump installed with the operation switch etc. on the pump facing the rear side of the vehicle, it was extended across the storage space from the rear side of the vehicle to the front side. An operation switch or the like is operated by an operator's hand. For this reason, if many equipments are stored in the storage space, it becomes difficult to operate the operation switch and the like, and therefore only limited equipment can be stored in the storage space. For this reason, there arises a problem that it is difficult to effectively use the storage space.

  Therefore, if the fire pump is installed on the cargo bed so that the operation switch faces the side of the vehicle, the operator's hand will not cross the storage space when operating the operation switch, etc. Equipment can be accommodated. However, when the equipment is stored in the storage space in a stacked state, if the vehicle body shakes in the front-rear direction when the vehicle is running or stopped, the stacked equipment may collapse in the front-rear direction and be damaged. Therefore, a partition plate may be provided between the fire pump and the storage space. However, if a partition plate is provided, the limited storage space becomes narrower, and there is a need for an inexpensive pump-equipped vehicle that increases vehicle costs. It will be contrary to.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and in a pump-loading vehicle equipped with a water tank, a fire-fighting pump-loading vehicle capable of effectively using a storage space for equipment without increasing the vehicle cost. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to solve such a problem, the present invention is a fire-fighting pump-equipped vehicle in which a fire-fighting pump is installed on a cargo bed that extends to the rear side of the vehicle body from an operating cabin disposed on the front side of the vehicle body.

Partitioned by the rear side of the drained aquarium. For this reason, a storage space and a pump space can be partitioned without providing a special partition, and an increase in vehicle cost can be prevented. Also, even if the equipment is mounted in the storage space, the equipment is restricted from moving to the front of the vehicle by the rear side of the water tank, so there is no risk that the equipment will collapse to the front of the vehicle. Damage to the equipment due to collapse to the front side can be prevented in advance. Furthermore, since the storage space is partitioned by the rear side surface of the water tank, the storage space forms a space independent of the water tank space. For this reason, the equipment can be freely stored in the space of the storage space without being affected by the water tank space, and the storage space can be effectively used.

  In the present invention, the piping facility includes a flow path (for example, the pipe 33 in the embodiment) for sending water absorbed by the fire fighting pump installed in the pump space to the water tank installed in the discharge port or the water tank space. The flow path is provided with a switching valve for supplying the water sucked by the fire fighting pump to the water tank or the discharge port, and shutting off the water supply to the water tank and the discharge port, and the switching valve is a valve body provided with a valve body. And an operation part (for example, the operation lever 36 in the embodiment) that transmits a rotation operation to the valve main body part via a transmission mechanism part that transmits power, and according to the turning operation of the operation part. A switching operation is performed.

  According to this invention, the piping facility includes a flow path for sending the absorbed water to the discharge port or the water tank, and the switching valve is provided in the flow path, and the switching valve is rotated via the valve main body portion and the transmission mechanism portion. And an operation unit that transmits a dynamic operation to the valve body, and the switching operation is performed according to the turning operation of the operation unit, so that the operation unit can be installed at a position away from the valve body. For this reason, regardless of the installation position of the valve main body, the operation section can be installed in a vacant space in the panel portion of the piping facility in which the water suction port, the discharge port, the operation panel and the like are arranged. That is, in the panel unit, the degree of freedom in arranging the peripheral mechanism unit such as the operation panel and the operation unit can be increased. For this reason, the front-rear length of the panel portion can be shortened, and as a result, the storage space can be expanded.

  According to the present invention, a storage box having a lateral opening is provided on the side of the vehicle body below the loading platform. The storage box has a plate member that is swingable up and down. In the extended state, the opening is covered to become a lid, and in the extended state, the downward swing is restricted to form a step.

  According to the present invention, the storage box having an opening formed on the side of the vehicle body below the loading platform is provided, and the plate member provided so as to be swingable up and down serves as a lid when covering the opening, and extends in the lateral direction. In this case, the downward swinging is restricted to be a step, so that the storage space for the equipment can be further expanded, and the raising and lowering operation to the vehicle can be facilitated in an emergency of fire fighting activities.

  According to the fire-fighting pump-carrying vehicle according to the present invention, the pump space, the piping space, the water tank space and the storage space are arranged from the front side to the rear side of the cargo bed, and the storage space is arranged at the rearmost part of the cargo bed. It is possible to provide a fire-fighting pump-equipped vehicle capable of effectively using the equipment storage space without increasing costs.

  A preferred embodiment of a fire-fighting pump-equipped vehicle according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1 (side view) and FIG. 2 (back view), the fire pump loaded vehicle 1 includes a vehicle body 3 that can travel, a driving cabin 7 disposed on the front side of the vehicle body 3, and a driving cabin 7.

The driving cabin 7 is mounted on the vehicle body 3 so as to extend from the front end portion of the vehicle body 3 to an intermediate position between the front wheels 4 and the rear wheels 5. The loading platform 11 extends so as to protrude rearward from the rear wheel 5.

  The storage box 20 is installed to extend from the front end portion of the loading platform 11 to the substantially rear end portion of the rear wheel 5, and has a first storage portion 21 that has substantially the same width as the left and right direction of the loading platform 11 and extends rearward. The second housing portion 25 is connected to the rear portion of the first housing portion 21 and extends rearward and is narrower than the width of the loading platform 11. The second housing part 25 is disposed on the inner side in the left-right direction of the first housing part 21. For this reason, the left and right sides of the second housing part 25 are formed with the space 13 surrounded by the rear side surface 21 a of the first housing part 21, the left or right side panel 25 a of the second housing part 25, and the loading platform 11. Yes. The space 13 is accommodated with one end of the water supply hose 14 extending. A fire pump 22 is accommodated in the first accommodating portion 21, and piping equipment is accommodated in the second accommodating portion 25. That is, the internal space of the 1st accommodating part 21 becomes the pump space 23 which installs the fire fighting pump 22, and the internal space of the 2nd accommodating part 25 forms the piping space 26 which installs piping equipment.

  On the loading platform 11 on the rear side of the storage box 20, a water tank space 41 for installing the water tank 40 and a storage space 51 for storing equipment are provided from the front side to the rear side of the vehicle body. Although the details will be described later, the storage space 51 is formed by the rear frame 50. Thus, the loading platform 11 is provided with the pump space 23, the piping space 26, the water tank space 41, and the storage space 51 from the front side to the rear side of the vehicle body.

  Shutters 28 that are movable in the vertical direction are provided on both left and right side surfaces of the first housing portion 21 that forms the pump space 23. When the shutter 28 is pulled up, the fire pump 22 installed in the first housing portion 21. Can be exposed. A drive operation unit (not shown) is provided on the side surface of the fire fighting pump 22, and when the shutter 28 on the side where the drive operation unit is provided is lifted, the operator can directly operate the drive operation unit.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 (side view), the piping facility 30 installed in the second housing part 25 includes a discharge port 31 and a water suction port 32 attached to the side panel 25a of the second housing part 25. A pipe 33 connected to the fire pump 22 and the water tank 40 and a switching valve 34 provided in the pipe 33 are configured. The switching valve 34 includes a valve body 35 having a valve body (not shown), an operation lever 36 that moves the valve body, and a transmission mechanism 37 that transmits the turning operation of the operation lever 36 to the valve body 35.

  Here, the side panel 25a has an electronic water meter (not shown) for displaying the amount of water stored in the water tank 40 in addition to the operation panel 38 capable of remotely controlling the fire pump 22 and the discharge port 31 and the water suction port 32 described above. However, the operation lever 36 is disposed in a surplus space of the side panel 25a where the peripheral mechanism such as the operation panel is not disposed. More specifically, the operation lever 36 is conventionally directly attached to the valve main body 35, and the attachment position of the operation lever 36 to the side panel 25a is determined by the position of the switching valve attached to the pipe. That is, there is a restriction on the mounting position of the operation lever 36. In order to avoid interference between the operation range of the operation lever 36 and the peripheral mechanism portion, it is necessary to enlarge the side panel 25a. However, although the installation position of the valve main body portion 35 of the switching valve 34 of the present application is restricted in relation to the piping 33, the operation lever 36 is transmitted through the transmission mechanism portion 37, so that the turning operation is transmitted to the valve 33. The installation position can be determined. For this reason, the operation lever 36 can be disposed at a position where the operation lever 36 does not interfere with the peripheral mechanism portion in the remaining space of the side panel 25a. As a result, the length of the side panel 25a in the front-rear direction can be shortened, and the storage space 51 described later can be enlarged. Although the details of the transmission mechanism 37 will be described later, the design can be easily changed according to the positional relationship between the operation lever 36 and the valve main body 35. For this reason, there is no restriction | limiting by the transmission mechanism part 37 when installing the operation lever 36 in the desired position of the side panel 25a.

  The valve body 35 communicates the water suction port 32 with the water tank 40 or the discharge port 31 according to the turning operation of the operation lever 36, the communication between the water suction port 32 and the water tank 40, and the communication between the water suction port 32 and the discharge port 31.

For this reason, the transmission mechanism part 37 which can transmit the turning operation | movement of the operation lever 36 only by preparing the chain 37b which has the length according to the installation position to the side panel 25a of the operation lever 36 can be provided. The transmission mechanism unit 37 may be a belt transmission mechanism using a belt and a pulley, or a shaft transmission mechanism using a gear and a transmission shaft.

  The water tank 40 installed in the water tank space 41 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, has a volume capable of storing a predetermined amount of water, for example, 1t of water, and the front side surface 40a and the rear side surface 40b extend in the left-right direction of the vehicle. And the right side surface is extended along the side surface corresponding to each of the 2nd accommodating part 25. As shown in FIG. The upper surface of the water tank 40 extends substantially horizontally at a position substantially the same height as that of the storage box 20. The rear side surface 40b of the aquarium 40 is arranged in a state where the front side of the storage space 51 is erected, and partitions the boundary between the storage space 51 and the aquarium space 41. That is, the boundary between the storage space 51 and the water tank space 41 is partitioned by the rear side surface 40 b of the water tank 40 without providing a special partition plate or the like between the storage space 51 and the water tank space 41. At the bottom of the water tank 40, a discharge pipe 42 for discharging the water in the water tank 40 when water stored in the water tank 40 is used as drinking water is attached. The discharge pipe 42 is disposed at a lower position of the loading platform 11, extends rearward along the loading platform 11, and includes a valve 43 shown in FIG. When the valve 43 is opened, the water in the water tank 40 flows through the discharge pipe 42 and is discharged to the outside.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the rear frame 50 provided on the rear side of the water tank 40 is formed in a substantially inverted U shape, and is connected to a pair of left and right side plate portions 50 a and 50 b and upper portions thereof. 50c. A region surrounded by the pair of side plate portions 50 a and 50 b and the top plate portion 50 c is a storage space 51. A shutter 52 that is movable in the vertical direction is provided on the rear end side of the rear frame body 50, and when the shutter 52 is moved upward, the opening formed at the rear end portion of the rear frame body 50 is greatly opened. Thus, it is possible to easily put in and take out equipment not shown. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the storage space 51 is partitioned on the front side by a rear side surface 40 b of the water tank 40 to form a space independent of the water tank 40. For this reason, there is no influence from the aquarium space 41, the equipment can be freely stored in the storage space 51, and the storage space 51 can be effectively used. The pair of side plate portions 50 a and 50 b of the rear frame body 50 extend rearward along the left and right side plates of the corresponding water tank 40. For this reason, the space part 13 formed outside the second housing part 25 extends to the rear end part of the vehicle, and can accommodate the water supply hose 14 itself.

  A storage box 60 having an opening 61 formed on the outer side in the left-right direction of the vehicle body is attached below the loading platform 11 and behind the pair of rear wheels 5. The storage box 60 extends in the front-rear direction and has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. A plate member 63 is provided in a lower part of the opening 61 via a hinge part 62 so as to be swingable up and down. The plate member 63 is rectangular and has a size that covers the opening 61. At both front and rear ends of the plate member 63, there are provided chains 64 whose upper ends are connected to the storage box 60 and whose lower ends are connected to the ends of the plate member 63. When the plate member 63 extends in a substantially horizontal direction, the chain 64 becomes fully extended and restricts the downward swing of the plate member 63. That is, the plate member 63 covers the opening 61 in a state of extending vertically and becomes a lid, and in a state of extending in the lateral direction, swinging downward is regulated and becomes a step. Thus, by providing the storage box 60 at the lower position of the loading platform 11, the storage space for the equipment can be further expanded, and the raising and lowering operation to the vehicle can be facilitated in an emergency of fire fighting activities. .

  The water supply hose 14 provided in the space 13 is used with the distal end side placed in a water source when the proximal end side is attached to the water inlet 32. At this time, a filter 15 is attached to the tip of the water supply hose 14 to purify the sucked water. The sucked water flows into the fire pump 22 through the water supply hose 14 and the water inlet 32, and is supplied from the fire pump 22 to the pipe 33 shown in FIG. On the other hand, when water is discharged from the discharge port 31, the water supply hose 14 is attached to the discharge port 31, and the tube tip 16 is attached to the tip of the water supply hose 14 to perform a fire extinguishing activity or the like.

  An illuminating lamp 70 is provided in the upper part of the storage box 20. The illuminating lamp 70 is configured by attaching a light source 72 to a distal end portion of a support portion 71 that is swingably mounted in the vertical direction, and the support portion 71 can be expanded and contracted. The illuminating lamp 70 is tilted forward and stored in a state along the upper surface of the storage box 20, and is used in a state of extending in the vertical direction.

  Thus, since the front side of the storage space 51 is partitioned by the rear side surface 40b of the water tank 40 by arranging the water tank space 41 on the front side of the storage space 51, it is not necessary to provide a new partition plate. For this reason, increase in vehicle cost can be prevented. Moreover, even if the equipment is mounted in the storage space 51 in a stacked state, there is no risk that these equipment will collapse to the front side of the vehicle, and damage to the equipment due to collapse to the front side of the vehicle can be prevented.
