  The tailgate opening and closing device for a dump truck as described in Patent Document 1 is configured to press the lower side of the tailgate, and the pair of lock bars 58 holds the dump body in a standing posture. At the time of discharge, the arrangement is exposed to the discharge path through which the load is discharged.

  For this reason, when discharging the load, the discharged load may collide with the pair of exposed lock bars 58 and damage the pair of lock bars 58. Further, if the dump body or tailgate is deformed due to aging, the lock mechanism may not operate normally.

  In the dump truck rear gate automatic opening / closing mechanism described in Patent Document 2, if the dump body or tailgate is deformed due to aging, the automatic opening / closing mechanism may not operate normally, and the lock opening / closing may not be possible. is there.

  In addition, in the tailgate locking device described in Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2, if the dump truck travels with the locked state being incomplete, the load will be scattered on the traveling road surface, resulting in an accident. There is a risk of being connected. Furthermore, in order to maintain the function of the locking device, periodic inspection and adjustment work are required.

  The present invention does not use a locking mechanism having an engaging portion or an opening / closing mechanism that automatically opens and closes the tailgate as a locking mechanism of the tailgate, and does not fall into an incomplete locking state, thereby causing a risk of failure. A tailgate locking device that can be configured at low cost, requires no periodic inspection work, and can be used for a long time in a maintenance-free state, and a tailgate structure equipped with the same It is intended to provide.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a tail body for opening and closing the rear opening of the dump body in a dump body of a dump truck provided so as to be rotatable up and down around a rotation axis between a standing posture and a lying posture. A locking device,
The tailgate is provided so as to be rotatable up and down with respect to the dump body with the upper end portion side of the tailgate as a rotation center, and between the vertical plates on both sides of the dump gate of the tailgate, It is most important that the projecting member projecting inward is provided on the inner surface of the tailgate, and the projecting member is provided with a pressure receiving surface capable of receiving the weight of a part of the load loaded in the dump body. It has a special feature.

In the invention of the present application, the main feature is that the protruding member is provided at a lower end side of the tailgate.
Further, in the present invention, the protruding member has a shape extending in the vehicle width direction of the dump body, and can be inserted between the inner surfaces of the vertical plates on both sides of the dump body, and on the inner surface of the bottom surface of the dump body. The main feature is to have a bottom portion that is in sliding contact.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, the main feature is that the projecting member also has a reinforcing rib for the tailgate.

Further, in the present invention, a tailgate structure that opens and closes the rear opening of the dump body in the dump body of the dump truck that rotates up and down around the rotation axis between the standing posture and the lying posture,
Arm portions having holes that are rotatably coupled to the dump body are arranged at both left and right ends of the upper portion of the tailgate, and projecting members arranged in the left-right width direction of the tailgate are arranged at the lower portion of the tailgate. The most important feature is that it is provided on the inner surface.

  In the present invention, a protruding member is provided so as to protrude from the inner surface side of the tailgate on the inner surface side of the tailgate. The projecting member is provided with a pressure receiving surface, and the pressure receiving surface is configured as a surface that receives the effect of the weight of a part of the load loaded in the dump body. By receiving the weight of the load on the pressure receiving surface, the tailgate can be rotated in the direction of closing the rear opening of the dump body.

  With this configuration, the tailgate closes the rear opening of the dump body by its own weight in the state where the dump body is in the lying posture, and the weight of a part of the load loaded in the dump body acting on the pressure receiving surface of the protruding member. Thus, the turning power for closing the rear opening of the dump body is energized. Moreover, the rear opening of the dump body is configured so that the rear opening of the dump body shows a downward slope toward the rear side of the dump body when the dump body is in the lying posture, so that the rear opening of the dump body is firmly secured by the tailgate.

  In addition, the load acting on the pressure receiving surface of the projecting member is a part of the load loaded in the dump body, and the height position of the load is located above the pressure receiving surface of the projecting member. For this reason, in a state where the dump body is in the lying posture, the pressing force from the load located above the pressure receiving surface acts on the pressure receiving surface of the protruding member.

  Therefore, in this state, it is almost impossible to rotate the tailgate in the direction to open the rear opening of the dump body. In this way, in the state where the dump body is in the lying position, even if the dump truck is driven, the tailgate opens the rear opening of the dump body due to vibrations etc. generated during traveling, and the load is spilled off Can be completely prevented.

  In addition, when the dump body is shifted from the lying position to the standing state, the tailgate that is substantially vertical and the rear opening of the dump body that is standing and away from the tailgate are separated from the state in which they are in contact with each other. Therefore, the rear opening of the dump body is opened. Then, the load loaded in the dump body can be discharged from the opened rear opening.

  Thus, in the present invention, the tailgate closes the rear opening of the dump body by effectively utilizing its own weight and the weight of the load acting on the pressure receiving surface of the protruding member without using a special locking mechanism. I can keep it.

  In addition, since the protruding member has a simple configuration provided on the inner surface side of the tailgate, there is almost no risk of failure. In addition, the protruding member can be provided at low cost, and can be used for a long time in a maintenance-free state.

  In addition, since the tailgate makes effective use of its own weight and the weight of the load acting on the pressure receiving surface of the protruding member, the tailgate opens the rear opening of the dump body due to vibrations, etc. that occur during the running of the dump truck. Thus, it is possible to reliably prevent the load from spilling out.

  In the present invention, the protruding member can be protruded to the lower end portion side of the tailgate, so that the rear opening of the dump body caused by the weight of the load acting on the pressure receiving surface of the protruding member is closed. It has a configuration that easily accepts the rotational moment. Moreover, the position of the pressure receiving surface of the projecting member can be configured at a position where the rotational radius from the pivot shaft of the tailgate becomes large, so the magnitude of the rotational moment in the direction to close the rear opening of the dump body Can be increased.

  Therefore, the tailgate is strongly maintained in a state in which the rear opening of the dump body is closed, and even if vibration or the like occurs during traveling of the dump truck, the tailgate causes the rear portion of the dump body to be By opening the opening, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the load is spilled down.

  Moreover, in this invention, it has the shape extended in the vehicle width direction of the dump body as a structure of a protrusion member, and it is slidably contacted with the lateral width which can be inserted between the inner surfaces of the both-sides vertical board of a dump body, and the inner surface in the bottom face of a dump body. It can be set as the structure which has a bottom part. By configuring in this way, when the dump body is returned from the standing state to the lying posture, the load attached to the rear opening periphery of the dump body can be moved to the inside of the dump body by the protruding member. it can. The periphery of the rear opening of the dump body can be cleaned with the tail gate, and the rear opening of the dump body can be reliably closed by the tail gate.

  The projecting member may be configured to have a pressure receiving surface continuously extending in the vehicle width direction of the dump truck, or may be configured to have a pressure receiving surface intermittently arranged in the vehicle width direction of the dump truck. .

  Furthermore, in this invention, a protrusion member can also be comprised as a rib for reinforcement of a tailgate. With this configuration, the reinforcing rib of the tailgate can be substituted by the protruding member without separately providing the reinforcing rib.

  Further, in the tailgate structure according to the present invention, the tailgate can be rotatably attached to the dump body through the hole portion formed in the arm portion. In addition, the bottom inner surface of the tailgate can be provided with protruding members arranged in the width direction of the tailgate so that after loading the tailgate on the dump body, It is possible to prevent the weight of the load from acting on the protruding member and the tailgate from rotating in the opening direction.

  If the dump body is rotated from the lying position to the standing position, the tailgate can be rotated relative to the dump body around the hole formed in the arm portion, and the rear opening of the dump body can be opened. The closed tailgate is separated from the rear opening of the dump body. And a load can be discharged | emitted from the rear part opening of a dump body.
