  By the way, in the case of a delivery vehicle such as a home delivery vehicle, a foldable handcart is used at all times to deliver a delivery load to each delivery place, and this foldable handcart is located above the ground of the delivery vehicle. It was located and loaded on the rear loading platform, and loading and unloading this folding wheelbarrow from the loading platform was extremely bad.

  In addition, when transporting relatively long loads such as ski equipment, the height of the ceiling of the cover is regulated from the loading platform, and it will be stacked horizontally on the loading platform. It was necessary to select the order of loading and unloading.

  Furthermore, in a delivery vehicle such as a delivery vehicle, it may run up to the loading platform, so it is preferable that the step is large, but the rear overhang length is regulated by 2/3 of the wheelbase. Since the installation of the rear underrun protector is also legally restricted, the width and depth dimensions of the step are limited, and even if an attempt is made to improve the step of a commercial vehicle, the step cannot be made sufficiently large. Further, since the step is located behind the loading platform and exposed outside the vehicle, it was slippery when loading / unloading the loading platform due to rain, snow, etc.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to form a rear cargo bed capable of loading a load by expanding the step to a step height position at the rear of the carrier bed of the delivery vehicle. It is to provide a delivery vehicle having a structure that can be installed.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a floor plate on a pair of side members constituting a chassis frame to form a cargo bed, and forms a loading / unloading port at the rear end in the traveling direction of the cargo bed, and also in the traveling direction. In a delivery vehicle having a rear underrun protector at the rear end, side members extending rearward from the rear wheels of the delivery vehicle are cut by a predetermined length and shortened, and the rear underrun protector is placed at the rear end of these side members. A vertical frame that extends downward toward the height position is attached, an extension frame that extends toward the rear underrun protector at the rear in the running direction is attached to the lower ends of these vertical frames, and a floor plate is provided on the extension frame to Forming a rear cargo bed having a lower floor portion than a floor surface of the cargo bed formed on the side member, and the rear cargo bed at the rear end in the traveling direction; It is obtained by forming a inlet and outlet.

  The inventors of the present invention have found that a delivery vehicle is provided with a rear underrun protector positioned rearward in the traveling direction, and the rear underrun protector is at the lowest level of the loading platform allowed from the ground height. This has led to the creation of the present invention.

  A cross member extending in the vehicle width direction may be attached to the extension frame, and a floor plate may be provided on the cross member and the extension frame to form a rear cargo bed.

  According to the present invention, the step can be made sufficiently large and the step can be installed in the vehicle.

  Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the delivery vehicle 1 has a driver's cab 2 at the front in the traveling direction and a modification to a commercial truck having a container-like cargo bay 3 adjacent to the rear thereof. A rear cargo bed 19 having a low floor portion 4 is formed at the rear of the cargo compartment 3.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the chassis frame 5 of the truck serving as the base of the delivery vehicle 1 includes a pair of left and right side members 6 and a plurality of cross members 7 provided between the side members 6. Is done. A loading platform 8 is provided on the side member 6. The loading platform 8 is formed by providing a floor plate 9 on the side member 6. A rear wheel 11 is provided at the rear of the side member 6 via a suspension device 10.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the rear cargo bed 19 shortens the side members 6 extending rearward from the rear wheels 11 of the delivery vehicle 1 by cutting them to a predetermined length L, and rear end portions of these side members 6. A vertical frame 12 that extends vertically downward is attached, an extension frame 13 that extends rearward in the running direction is attached to the lower ends of these vertical frames 12, and a floor plate 14 is provided on the extension frame 13.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the vertical frame 12 and the extension frame 13 are each made of channel steel having the same strength as the side member 6, and the U-shaped opening is arranged toward the center in the vehicle width direction. The vertical frame 12 is attached by welding its upper end surface to the lower surface of the rear end of the side member 6. The extension frame 13 is attached by welding the upper surface of the front end to the lower end surface of the vertical frame 12. Further, a gusset 15 having a U-shaped cross section extending vertically is attached to the side member 6, the vertical frame 12, and the extension frame 13 on the outer surface in the vehicle width direction so as to span the side member 6, the vertical frame 12, and The connection of the extension frame 13 is reinforced. Specifically, the gusset 15 is fastened to each of the side member 6, the vertical frame 12, and the extension frame 13 with rivets (not shown).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, a rear cargo cross member 16 that extends in the vehicle width direction and forms a rear underrun protector is attached to the extension frame 13. The rear carrier cross member 16 is attached to the front portion of the extension frame 13 so as to extend on both sides in the vehicle width direction, and extends to both sides in the vehicle width direction on the rearmost end portion of the extension frame 13. The second cross member 18 is attached in this manner. On the first cross member 17, the second cross member 18, and the extension frame 13, a floor plate 14 constituting a rear cargo bed 19 is provided. Thereby, the support structure of the floor board 14 is strengthened, and the rear cargo bed 19 becomes strong. Furthermore, a reinforcing frame 20 extending in the traveling direction is provided between the front ends of the first cross member 17 and the second cross member 18 that are spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction, and the rear cargo bed 19 is further reinforced. A bracket 22 having a triangular shape in plan view is provided on each connection portion 21 where the extension frame 13, the first cross member 17, the second cross member 18, and the reinforcing frame 20 are connected to each other.

  The floor board 14 functions as a load placement surface and also as a step, and has an anti-slip unevenness (not shown) on the upper surface.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a rear side wall portion 24 formed by extending a side wall 23 of the cargo compartment 3 rearward is provided on both the left and right sides of the rear cargo platform 19, and the cargo compartment 3 is provided at the rear end of the rear cargo platform 19. A loading / unloading port 25 is formed. As a result, the cargo compartment 3 is formed to extend on the rear cargo bed 19. The loading / unloading port 25 is formed in a width dimension close to the vehicle width dimension so that the rear end of the rear cargo bed 19 can be fully opened. In addition, a pair of left and right doors 26 are provided at the loading / unloading port 25 so as to open and close in a double door manner, and the loading / unloading port 25 can be fully opened when loading / unloading a load.
