Description

  The present invention relates to a wheelchair rotation assist plate that assists the wheelchair in the vehicle in the horizontal direction, a vehicle floor carpet including the wheelchair rotation assist plate, and a wheelchair storage vehicle including the wheelchair.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, vehicles that can mount a wheelchair through a so-called back door at the rear of the vehicle are known as vehicles for mounting a wheelchair together with the occupant without folding the wheelchair. In such a wheelchair storage vehicle, it is necessary to provide a back door large enough to accommodate a wheelchair behind the vehicle. In addition, since a vehicle such as a taxi generally has a liquefied propane gas tank mounted at the rear of the vehicle, there is no sufficient space and it is difficult to store a wheelchair from behind.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a wheelchair storage vehicle is also known that enables a wheelchair passenger to be placed from the side of the vehicle without folding the wheelchair. Fig.9 (a) is the schematic diagram which looked at the conventional vehicle which can mount a wheelchair from the side of a vehicle from the side, FIG.9 (b) is a BB cross section of Fig.9 (a). It is typical sectional drawing. The conventional vehicle 100 can put the wheelchair 5 into the vehicle using the slope 16 from the opening portion 15 provided on the side of the vehicle. More specifically, one side of a slope 16 made of a flat plate made of resin, metal, or the like is hung on the lower end of the door 15 and a slope is formed between the ground and a floor 113 in the vehicle. The wheelchair 5 can be put in the car. Such a slope is disclosed in Patent Document 1. Or it is also possible to use the elevator for wheelchairs which has a raising / lowering means like the patent document 2 instead of the slope 16. FIG.

  By the way, when using such a vehicle, the wheelchair enters the vehicle with the vehicle facing sideways. FIG. 10 is a plan view schematically showing a first example of a conventional vehicle on which a wheelchair is placed. FIG. 11 is a plan view schematically showing the same second example. As shown in FIG. 10, it is difficult for the wheelchair 5 to turn in the horizontal direction and change its direction in a vehicle without sufficient space. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11, in the vehicle 110 in which the passenger seat 112 can be stored, the wheelchair 5 placed in the vehicle side is rotated in the horizontal direction while moving backward in the front of the vehicle. It is possible to turn to the rear of the vehicle by changing the direction. However, in either case of side-facing or rearward-facing storage, the comfort of the occupant of the wheelchair 5 when driving the vehicle is lacking.

  In addition, when the horizontal rotation operation as shown in FIG. 11 is performed, if an excessive rotation is attempted, the floor carpet material, which is the finished surface of the floor 113 in the vehicle, may be damaged or the carpet hair may fall down. And the appearance of the floor 113 is impaired. In addition, if the wheelchair 5 is forced to rotate in the opposite direction, that is, the wheelchair 5 faces forward, a strong force is applied to the floor of the wheelchair 5 in contact with the wheels 6, 7. The appearance of 113 is likely to be damaged. Therefore, it has been difficult for a conventional vehicle to make the wheelchair face the front of the vehicle.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, assisting the horizontal rotation of the wheelchair in the vehicle without impairing the appearance of the floor, the wheelchair is easy to rotate even in a relatively narrow vehicle, It aims at providing a wheelchair rotation auxiliary plate, a floor carpet for vehicles, and a wheelchair storage vehicle.

  In order to achieve the above object, the wheelchair rotation assist plate of the present invention is disposed on the floor of the vehicle, and the rotation assist surface for reducing frictional resistance when the wheelchair wheel rotates in the horizontal direction is provided on the upper surface. It is characterized by having.

  Such a wheelchair rotation assist plate may have a groove along the vehicle front-rear direction for positioning the wheelchair wheel on one side in the vehicle width direction. Furthermore, you may comprise a rotation assistance surface so that it may have the inclination which the said one side in a vehicle width direction may become low.

  Moreover, the vehicle floor carpet of the present invention has the wheelchair rotation assist plate at the center in the vehicle width direction.

  Furthermore, a wheelchair storage vehicle according to the present invention includes the vehicle floor carpet, a seat plate storage mechanism that stores a seat plate of a seat seat, and a slide mechanism that slides the seat seat in the vehicle front-rear direction. It is said.

  According to the wheelchair rotation assistance plate of the present invention, the horizontal rotation operation of the wheelchair can be easily performed. Further, when the wheel support wheel is configured to have a groove along the vehicle front-rear direction for positioning the wheelchair wheel on one side of the rotation assist surface in the vehicle width direction, the wheelchair can be easily positioned in the retracted state. Can do. Furthermore, when the rotation assist surface is configured to have an inclination such that one side in the vehicle width direction is lowered, the wheelchair can be positioned more easily.

  Moreover, according to the vehicle floor carpet of the present invention, the wheelchair can be rotated at a desired position in the vehicle. Furthermore, according to the wheelchair storage vehicle of the present invention, the wheelchair can be stored forward even in a vehicle having a relatively small front-rear width.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing a wheelchair rotation assist plate of the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows an AA cross section of the wheelchair rotation assist plate of the present invention shown in FIG. In the figure, Fr indicates the front of the vehicle, and Up indicates the upper side of the vehicle.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the wheelchair rotation assisting plate 1 of the present invention has a rotation assisting surface 3 having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view and inclined toward the left side in the vehicle width direction on the upper surface. The length in the front-rear direction and the side of the rotation assisting surface 3 is a length sufficient for performing a rotation operation of a wheelchair described later, and is about several tens of centimeters. As shown in FIG. 2, the floor 13 includes, in order from the vehicle lower side, a floor panel 13 c made of a structural member for giving strength to the floor surface, and a cushioning material 13 b for absorbing a shock and realizing a comfortable walking. The floor carpet 13a is used. The wheelchair rotation assisting plate 1 is welded to a portion where a part of the floor 13 is appropriately cut out by welding means or fixed by fixing means (not shown).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the rotation assisting surface 3 has an upper end portion 3a on the right side of the side edges and a lower end portion 3b on the left side. In addition, the vehicle has a side 3d at the front end and a side 3e at the rear end. That is, the rotation assisting surface 3 is defined by the upper end portion 3a, the side 3d, the lower end portion 3b, and the side 3e. As shown in the figure, the lower end 3b and the upper surface of the surrounding floor 13a have the same height. The rotation assist surface 3 is inclined so that the height gradually decreases from the upper end 3a to the lower end 3b, and the height difference H between the upper end 3a and the lower end 3b is about 5 millimeters. As will be described later, the rotation assisting surface 3 is a member having a frictional resistance so that the wheel of the wheelchair 5 can be easily rotated on the surface. It is formed of a member, specifically, a resin such as polypropylene, polyethylene, or polycarbonate. The surface of the rotation assist surface may be subjected to a process such as fine embossing. Further, a part of the rotation assist surface 3 prevents unnecessary side slip when the wheelchair 5 is placed from the side, and prevents the wheel from dropping from the wheelchair rotation assist plate 1 beyond the side 3d or 3e. A plurality of guides 3c formed by providing fine grooves in the lateral direction are provided.

  As shown in FIG.1 and FIG.2, the rotation assistance surface 3 has the groove | channel 3 along the vehicle front-back direction for the wheel of a wheelchair to be positioned in the position of the left side rather than the lower end part 3b. The groove 3 has a width D in the vehicle width direction of about several centimeters so that the wheel of the wheelchair, that is, the wheel can be easily stored. The bottom 2a of the groove 2 is lower than the lower end 3b of the rotation assisting surface 3. Is even lower by a few centimeters.

(Storing procedure)
Next, a procedure for storing the wheelchair in the vehicle using the vehicle floor carpet 13 having the wheelchair rotation assist plate 1 will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically illustrating a procedure for storing the wheelchair into the vehicle using the floor carpet according to the embodiment, in which (a) illustrates a state before the wheelchair is pushed from the side of the vehicle, and (b) illustrates The state after the wheelchair is pushed into the vehicle from the side of the vehicle, (c) shows the state where the wheelchair rotates, and (d) shows the state where the wheelchair is stored in the vehicle. In these drawings, the wheelchair 5 is shown in a simplified manner, and only the two wheels 6 and 7 and the foot portion 5a of the occupant of the wheelchair are shown.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, the floor carpet 13 is provided over the entire interior floor surface of the vehicle 10. Moreover, the wheelchair rotation assistance plate 1 is provided by cutting out a part thereof at the center in the vehicle width direction. In order to store the wheelchair 5 inside the vehicle, first, a slope 16 is laid between the door 15 on the side of the vehicle and the ground, and the wheelchair is pushed sideways through the door 15. And as shown in FIG.3 (b), the passenger | crew of the wheelchair 5 or the assistant (henceforth a storage worker) faces the wheelchair 5 slightly forward from the side (direction shown by arrow R1 in a figure). I will push it in. And when the wheel 6 comes to be located on the rotation assistance surface 3 of the wheelchair rotation assistance plate 1, the wheelchair 5 is once stopped.

  At this time, the storage operator does not need to consider in which position the wheelchair 5 should be finally stored through the rotation work, but simply the wheelchair rotation assist plate 1 provided on the floor 13 in the vehicle. While checking the position, it is confirmed that the wheel 6 is on the wheelchair rotation assist plate 1 and the position where the wheelchair 5 is pushed in may be determined. That is, if the wheelchair rotation assistance plate 1 of this invention is used, the position where the wheelchair 5 stops can be determined easily.

  Further, since the rotation assisting surface 3 of the wheelchair rotation assisting plate 1 is provided with an inclination, when the wheel 6 is placed on the rotation assisting surface 3, a force to push the wheelchair 5 backward is applied. . Therefore, if the storage operator stops the wheelchair when he feels the force to push back, the wheelchair 5 can be positioned more easily.

  As described above, a plurality of guides 3c formed by providing fine grooves in the lateral direction are provided. When the wheelchair wheel 6 slides laterally in the vehicle front-rear direction when the wheelchair 5 is placed in the lateral direction from the door 15, if the wheelchair wheel 6 contacts one of the guides 3 c, Further sliding can be prevented by friction between the bottom surface of the wheel 6 and the guide 3c. That is, by having the plurality of guides 3c, it is possible to prevent a side slip of a distance larger than the interval between the guides 3c. Further, it is possible to prevent the wheel 6 from coming off the rotation assisting surface 3 beyond the front and rear sides 3d, 3e. Due to the presence of the guide 3c, the wheelchair 5 can be easily stopped at a predetermined position.

  When the wheelchair 5 stops at the position shown in FIG. 3B, the wheel 6 on the right side of the wheelchair is on the rotation assisting surface 3 of the wheelchair rotation assisting plate 1. The rotation assist surface 3 contacts. Here, a portion of the wheel 6 that is in contact with the rotation assisting surface 3 is defined as a ground contact surface 6a.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3C, the wheelchair 5 is rotated in the horizontal direction so that the other wheel 7 draws an arc with the perpendicular line including the ground contact surface 6 a as the rotation axis Z. Try to face the front of the vehicle. The directions in which the foot portion 5a of the wheelchair occupant and the other wheel 7 move are indicated by arrows R2 and R3, respectively. At this time, the storing operator may perform the rotation operation while being aware that one wheel 6 is not separated from the rotation assisting surface 3, that is, the rotation axis Z does not move greatly. This is done by moving only the other wheel 7 and turning the wheelchair 5 while conscious that the vehicle body on the vehicle rear side of the wheelchair 5 does not move greatly.

  As described above, since the rotation assist surface 3 is formed of a member having a small frictional resistance, the operation of rotating the wheel 6 in the horizontal direction can be easily performed. Further, the rotation assisting surface 3 is formed of a material that does not deteriorate the appearance even when the rotation is performed, that is, a material that is not conspicuous even when the rubber of the wheelchair tire adheres due to friction during the rotation. Therefore, the appearance of the floor 13 is not impaired.

  In FIG. 3C, the rotation axis Z is generally located near the center of the rotation assist surface 3 in a state before the rotation operation, that is, a state indicated by a broken line in the drawing. As described above, the rotation assisting surface 3 is inclined so as to decrease in height toward the door 15 side, and the frictional resistance of the rotation assisting surface 3 is small. The moving shaft Z can be moved little by little toward the door opening 15 side. That is, while rotating, the ground contact surface 6a of the wheel 6 can be moved little by little toward the door opening 15 side. When the wheelchair is in a state of facing the front of the vehicle, that is, in a state indicated by a solid line in the drawing, the ground contact surface 6a and the rotation shaft Z can be brought close to the lower end 3b. That is, the wheel 6 can be brought close to the groove 2 and close to the groove 2 in a direction substantially parallel to the groove 2.

  For the storage operator, the rotation assist surface 3 is inclined toward the door 15 and the frictional resistance is small, so that the wheelchair can be easily rotated in the horizontal direction until the wheelchair faces approximately the front of the vehicle. Can do. Moreover, since the rotation assistance surface 3 inclines to the door opening part 15 side, the force pushed back by the wheelchair to the door opening part side works, and it can prevent moving forward from it. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wheelchair from accidentally colliding with the body opposite to the door opening part during the turning operation.

  Here, the groove 2 is a final storage position of the wheel 6. Therefore, the storage operator can easily determine the end position of the wheelchair rotation if he / she is aware that the wheel 6 is close to the groove 2 in parallel.

  Finally, the operation for storing the wheel 6 in the groove 2 will be described. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the lower end portion 6a of the wheel 6 is fitted in a groove 2 provided in accordance with the width of the wheel and faces the front of the vehicle. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3D, after the above-described rotation operation is performed, the wheels 6 are close to each other in a direction parallel to the grooves 2 as indicated by broken lines in the drawings. The bottom surface of the wheel 6 can be fitted into the groove 2 and stored only by sliding the wheel 6 slightly to the door opening side. That is, from the state where the ground contact surface 6a of the wheel is located near the lower end 3b of the rotation assisting surface 3, the ground contact surface 6a is moved to the groove 2 side, and the wheel 6 is guided to the bottom 2a of the groove 2. You can store with. The position of the wheelchair after storage is shown by a solid line in the figure. At this time, the storing operator may apply the force to the side so as to slightly move the entire wheelchair 5 toward the door 15 and fit the wheel 6 into the groove 2 and store it.

  FIG. 4 is a plan view schematically showing a state where the wheelchair is stored in a vehicle using the floor carpet according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, after the above-described storing operation, the wheelchair 5 is located at a position where the wheel 6 is fitted in the groove 2 of the wheelchair rotation assisting plate 1 and is behind the passenger seat 12 and from the back seat 17. Is also stored in the forward position facing the front of the vehicle. There is a driver seat 11 on the side of the passenger seat 12, and the driver can drive the vehicle 10 by operating the handle 11 c in the vehicle after the wheelchair 5 is stored.

  Here, the right and left wheels 6 and 7 of the wheelchair are respectively fixed to the floor 13 by lashing hooks 14. The lashing hook 14 is composed of a member such as a well-known belt or metal fitting so that when the wheelchair is stored, the two wheels 6 and 7 can be fixed one place at the front and rear positions of the wheelchair, respectively. Is arranged on the floor 13. The lashing hook 14 is configured to be housed inside the floor 13 during normal times, that is, when the wheelchair 5 is not stored. The wheelchair 5 is not easily moved back and forth and right and left because the wheel 6 is fitted in the groove 2, but by fixing both wheels by the lashing hook 14, the wheelchair 5 is more firmly fixed to the floor 13 and is more stable. .

  By the way, if the wheelchair rotation assistance plate 1 of the present invention is used, the storage position of the wheelchair is uniquely determined by the position of the groove 2 of the wheelchair rotation assistance plate 1, so that the two wheels 6 and 7 in the storage state are also included. Determined uniquely. Therefore, the position where the lashing hook 14 for fixing the wheels 6 and 7 is provided can be naturally limited.

  Therefore, as compared with the case where the wheelchair rotation assist plate 1 is not used, it is easy to determine the position where the lashing hook 14 is provided, and even if the movable range of the members such as belts and metal fittings is narrow. Well, the length can be shortened. Therefore, the lashing hook 14 can be made compact and inexpensive, and can have an efficient and economical configuration.

  Next, the wheelchair storage vehicle 20 using the wheelchair rotation assist plate 1 will be described. In the following description and drawings, the same members as those described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description of the same configuration will be omitted as appropriate. FIG. 5 is a plan view schematically showing the configuration of the wheelchair storage vehicle of the embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the wheelchair storage vehicle 20 of the present invention has a wheelchair rotation assisting plate 1 at a part of the floor 13 at the center in the vehicle width direction, and an opening portion on the side of the vehicle on the passenger seat 22 side. 15 In a normal state, the wheelchair rotation assist plate 1 is provided at a position behind the vehicle with respect to the driver seat 21 and the passenger seat 22 and at a position in front of the vehicle with respect to the back seat 27. Further, in normal times, the driver seat 21 is in a position where the wheelchair retractable vehicle 20 can be driven by grasping the handle 11c, and the passenger seat 22 is positioned on the door opening 15 side along with the driver seat 21. is there.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view schematically showing a state in which the seat plate 28 of the driver seat 21, the passenger seat 22, and the back seat 27 (hereinafter referred to as seats) is housed. As shown in FIG. 6, the seat is composed of a seat plate 28 and a backrest 29, and the seat plate 28 can be stored at any time so as to vertically overlap the backrest 29 with the rear end portion 28a as an axis. . Here, the width S1 (see FIG. 5) in the front-rear direction of the seat when the seat plate 28 is stored is shorter than the width S2 (see FIG. 7) of the seat in the state where the seat plate 28 is not stored.

  In a state where the seat plate 28 is stored, the driver's seat 21 can slide to a position in contact with the back seat 27 in a state where the seat plate 28 is stored toward the vehicle rear side. A sliding wheel 21 a is provided at the bottom of the driver seat 21. As shown in FIG. 5, on the floor surface 13, a driver seat slide rail 21 b is provided in the vehicle longitudinal direction from the bottom surface of the driver seat 21 in a normal state to a position in front of the back seat 27. The slide wheel 21a can move on the slide rail 21b for the driver's seat, and the driver's seat 21 can be slid to the position close to the back seat 27 toward the rear side of the vehicle with the seat plate 28 stored. .

  Further, the passenger seat 22 is slidable to a position in contact with the front body 23 toward the front side of the vehicle. A sliding wheel 22 a is provided at the bottom of the passenger seat 22. As shown in FIG. 5, on the floor surface 13, a passenger seat seat slide rail 22 b is provided in the vehicle longitudinal direction from the bottom surface of the passenger seat 22 in a normal state to a position in front of the front body 23. The wheel 22a for a slide can move on the slide rail 22b for passenger seats, and the passenger seat 22 can be slid to the position which touches the front body 23 to the vehicle front side. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the vehicle 20 is used without retracting the wheelchair 5, that is, a normal state.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram schematically illustrating a procedure for storing the wheelchair in the wheelchair storage vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7A illustrates a state before the wheelchair is pushed from the side of the vehicle, and FIG. The state after the wheelchair is pushed into the vehicle from the side of the vehicle, (c) shows the state where the wheelchair rotates, and (d) shows the state where the wheelchair is stored in the vehicle. For the sake of simplicity, the illustration of the slide rail 22a for the passenger seat and the slide rail 22b for the seat is omitted as appropriate.

  In each figure of FIG. 7, after the seats 28 of the driver seat 21, the passenger seat 22 and the back seat 27 are stored, the passenger seat 22 is moved to the position close to the back seat 27. 23 shows a state of sliding to a position close to 23. In the case of the vehicle 20 that can be slidable until the seat plate 28 of the seat can be stored and the driver seat 21 is close to the back seat 27 and the passenger seat 22 is close to the front body 23. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, even if there is not always enough space for storage, a space around the rotation axis Z on the wheelchair rotation assist plate 1 can be obtained by storing and sliding the seat. Can be secured widely. Therefore, even with a relatively small vehicle, the wheelchair 5 can be stored by providing a mechanism that can be stored and slid on the seat.

  Next, using the wheelchair rotation assist plate 1 provided in the wheelchair storage vehicle 20 having the driver seat 21, the passenger seat 22, and the back seat 27 that can be stored and slid in the vehicle, the wheelchair is used. A method of storing 5 in the vehicle will be described.

  The difference between the vehicle 10 described in the above embodiment and the wheelchair storage vehicle 20 is that the vehicle has a driver seat 21, a passenger seat 22, and a back seat 27 that can be stored and slidable in the vehicle. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, all seats are accommodated in a seat plate 28, and after the driver's seat 21 is brought close to the back seat 27 and the passenger seat 22 is brought close to the front body 23, the wheelchair rotation assist plate is placed. 1 is used to store the wheelchair 5. The wheelchair storage vehicle 20 can be realized even when the front-rear width of the vehicle is relatively short. Hereinafter, description of items common to the above description will be omitted.

  First, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the wheelchair 5 is pushed into the vehicle through the door 15 on the side of the vehicle, the driver's seat 21 is behind the wheelchair 5. In addition, the passenger seat 22 is located in front of the vehicle with respect to the wheelchair 5. With respect to the axle direction, the wheelchair rotation assist plate 2 is closer to the opening 15 than the driver seat 21. The passenger seat 22 is located closer to the door opening 15 than the wheelchair rotation assisting plate 1.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), the center of the ground contact surface 6a of the wheel 6 is set as the rotation axis Z, and the wheelchair 5 is rotated horizontally until the wheelchair 5 faces the front of the vehicle. To do. In the example shown in FIG. 7C, the wheelchair 5 rotates counterclockwise. Here, since the driver's seat 21 and the passenger seat 22 are housed and slid, the wheelchair 5 is not prevented from rotating.

  The wheelchair 5 is located behind the passenger seat 22 and ahead of the back seat 27. Thus, since the seat is stored, the wheelchair 5 can be completely rotated to a position where the wheelchair 5 faces the front of the vehicle 20 as shown in FIG. From this state, after the wheel 6 is fitted into the groove 2 as described above, the wheelchair 5 is fixed with a plurality of lashing hooks 14, and the storing operation is completed.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically illustrating a state of the vehicle in which the wheelchair is stored in the wheelchair storage vehicle according to the embodiment and is ready for driving. As shown in the figure, the wheel 6 is fitted in the groove 2, but the groove 2 is provided on the door opening side of the wheelchair rotation assist plate 1 provided in the center in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, the wheel 6 does not overlap with the slide locus of the driver seat 21. That is, even when the wheelchair 5 is stored, the driver's seat 21 can be slid back and forth. After the driver's seat 21 is slid again to the normal position and then the seat plate 28 is deployed, the vehicle 20 can be driven in the same manner as usual. Although not shown, the back seat 27 behind the driver seat 21 can be used by unfolding the seat plate 28 even after the wheelchair 5 is stored.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of the wheelchair rotation assistance plate 1 and embodiment of the wheelchair storage vehicle 20 provided with this were described, the scope of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the wheelchair rotation assist plate is not limited to a rectangular shape on the upper surface, and may be, for example, a semicircular shape. The rotation assist surface is not limited to a uniform inclination, and may be configured such that the inclination becomes gentle toward the lower end.

  Further, in the groove 2 of the wheelchair rotation assist plate, a slope may be provided between the bottom 2a, the floor 13, and the lower end surface 3b. In this case, when the wheelchair wheel is housed in the groove 2, it is possible to more reliably prevent an excessive shock from being applied to the wheelchair passenger and the wheelchair. In the case of a vehicle in which the above description and the position of the handle are reversed left and right, that is, a so-called left-hand drive vehicle, the wheelchair may be stored from the left and right open door. The wheelchair rotation assist plate of the present invention may be provided in a vehicle having three or more rows of seats.
