-Composition of small vehicle carrier-
1 to 6 show a small vehicle carrier 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The small vehicle carrier 1 includes a vehicle body 2 that can travel, a driver's cab 3 on the front side of the vehicle body 2, and a cargo bed 4 on the rear side. And.

  The loading platform 4 is a rectangular parallelepiped shape in which ultra-small mobility 5 as a plurality of electric vehicles is loaded side by side at a constant interval so that the vehicle width direction is the traveling direction (the front-rear direction of the small vehicle transport vehicle 1). The cargo compartment 6 is provided. A tailgate lifter 7 is provided at the rear part of the loading platform 4. The tailgate lifter 7 has a rectangular cradle 7b, and the cradle 7b is rotated rearward from the stowed state standing at the rear end of the cargo bed 4 by a position changing mechanism 7a having a hydraulic cylinder or the like. It is comprised so that raising / lowering is possible between the loading platform bottom parts 6a. The ultra-compact mobility 5 of the present embodiment is a vehicle for one or two persons that is more compact than a normal automobile, and is a vehicle having a total length smaller than, for example, 2500 mm, which is a vehicle width limit in Japan. In this embodiment, although the example which has the three wheels 5a is shown, it may have four wheels. Furthermore, even a vehicle having only two wheels such as a motorcycle can be stored if it can stand on its own by a stand or the like.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the state where the cradle 7b is erected and covers the rear end of the cargo bed 4, the space between the upper end of the cargo bed 4 and the upper end of the cradle 7b that stands is, for example, folded. It is covered with a hood member 8 that can be removed, turned up, and the like. The hood member 8 may be constituted by a shutter member that is slid up and down and accommodated in the upper part of the loading platform 4. The tailgate lifter 7 may be controlled by the control device 19 provided in the small vehicle transporter 1 by operating an operation button (not shown), for example.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 17 and the like, the loading platform bottom 6a is provided with a loading platform conveyor 9 on which a plurality of rollers having a rotation shaft with an endless belt extending in the vehicle width direction is hung. In the present embodiment, the cargo bed side conveyor 9 itself does not have a drive source, but a drive source may be provided in the cargo compartment 6.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, on the outside of the loading platform side conveyor 9 on both sides in the vehicle width direction of the loading platform bottom 6 a, the micro mobility 5 is in contact with the wheels 5 a of the micro mobility 5 and the loading chamber 6 (loading platform 4). A contact preventing member 10 is provided to prevent contact with the side wall 6b. The contact prevention member 10 is made of, for example, a metal pipe fixed to the cargo bed bottom 6a so as to extend in the front-rear direction. With this contact prevention member 10, it is possible to prevent the microminiature mobility 5 from contacting the side wall 6b during transportation on the cargo bed side conveyor 9 or during travel of the small vehicle transport vehicle 1. Although not shown in detail, the contact preventing member 10 may be provided with a plurality of engaging arms that press the wheel 5a of the micro-mobility 5 so as to be rotatable, and may serve as a securing means during traveling.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG.8 and FIG.9, the gate side conveyor 11 is provided in the upper surface of the receiving stand 7b. Although not shown in detail, the gate-side conveyor 11 is configured such that an endless belt is hung on a rotating shaft extending in the vehicle width direction, and the micro-mobility 5 mounted thereon can be conveyed in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, the gate conveyor 11 itself does not have a drive source, but a drive source may be provided inside.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the cradle 7 b is provided with a vehicle stop mechanism 12 that prevents the micro mobility 5 from falling by contacting the wheel 5 a of the micro mobility 5 on one side in the vehicle width direction. . The vehicle stop mechanism 12 includes a vehicle stop portion 12a having a substantially triangular cross section, for example, which a wheel 5a of the micro-mobility 5 abuts. The vehicle stop portion 12a is configured to be slidable by a four-bar linkage mechanism 12b. A contact roller 12c is provided at the lower end of the four-bar linkage mechanism 12b. When the cradle 7b is further lowered from the state shown in FIG. 11 (a), as shown in FIG. 11 (b), the contact roller 12c is pushed against the ground, and the vehicle stopper 12a is moved in the vehicle width direction by the four-bar linkage mechanism 12b. It is designed to move forward (to the micro-mobility 5 side). In this state, the car stopper 12a moves forward to the upper side of the gate-side conveyor 11, but in this state, the gate-side conveyor 11 is not driven, and thus no adverse effect is caused. Conversely, when the cradle 7b is raised from the state of FIG. 11 (b), as shown in FIG. 11 (a), the car stopper 12a gradually moves back and rises to the same height as the cargo bed bottom 6a. It moves most outward in the vehicle width direction so as not to hinder the movement of the gate-side conveyor 11. At this time, the vehicle stopper 12a is not in contact with the wheels 5a of the micro mobility 5, so that the movement of the micro mobility 5 moved by the gate-side conveyor 11 is not hindered. As described above, if the four-bar linkage mechanism 12b is used, the car stopper mechanism 12 can be surely operated with a simple configuration.

  As shown in FIG. 10, a foldable rectangular plate-like step board 13 is rotatably connected to the side of the cradle 7b opposite to the car stopper 12a. As shown in FIG. 1, the step board 13 is provided so as to have the same height as the slope 14 placed on the ground when the micro mobility 5 is loaded and unloaded. When the small vehicle transport vehicle 1 travels, the step board 13 may be erected and along the side wall 6b of the luggage compartment 6, for example, as shown in FIG. The step board 13 is not necessarily provided.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 10, a slope storage portion 15 capable of storing the slope 14 when the microminiature mobility 5 gets in is provided at a portion that becomes the rear end when the cradle 7 b is lowered. For example, the slope storage unit 15 may be formed of a recess and covered with a lid that can be freely opened and closed.

  Further, in the vicinity of the slope storage portion 15 of the cradle 7b, there is provided a fall prevention member 16 that prevents the micro mobility 5 from falling when the cradle 7b is rotated rearward and becomes horizontal. . The fall prevention member 16 is formed, for example, by bending a metal round pipe, and can be fixed in a pulled-out state by a pin (not shown) or the like, and can be accommodated within the thickness of the cradle 7b when not in use. It can be stored. Thus, storing the fall prevention member 16 makes it easy to store the cradle 7b, and prevents the micro mobility 5 from falling by pulling it up when the micro mobility 5 gets in.

  A connecting conveyor 17 that delivers the ultra-small mobility 5 is provided between the cargo bed side conveyor 9 and the gate side conveyor 11. As shown in FIG. 9, the connecting conveyor 17 includes rotating shaft support portions 17a on both sides in the width direction, and a belt driving portion 17b as a driving actuator disposed inside the rotating shaft supporting portions 17a. The belt driving portion 17b is connected to the connecting conveyor. A drive shaft 17 c for driving 17 is provided. As shown in FIG. 7, the connecting conveyor 17 is supported so as to be rotatable about a rotating shaft support portion 17 a. The drive source of the belt drive unit 17b is not particularly limited, such as hydraulic pressure or electricity. The connecting conveyor 17 is configured to come into contact with at least one of the carrier-side conveyor 9 and the gate-side conveyor 11 by tilting or the like, so that these can be driven in conjunction with each other. By appropriately controlling which conveyor is driven, the control device 19 can appropriately adjust the interval of the microminiature mobility 5 housed in the luggage compartment 6. As shown in FIG. 9, on both sides in the vehicle width direction of the connecting conveyor 17, a plurality of driven rollers 18 that can rotate around a rotation shaft extending in the vehicle width direction are provided. In the present embodiment, the driven roller 18 does not have a drive source, and plays a role of assisting the smooth movement of the wheels 5a of the micro-mobility 5 conveyed to the connecting conveyor 17 back and forth. As shown in FIG. 7, the connecting conveyor 17 is configured such that, for example, a part of the plurality of driven rollers 18 is raised on the cargo compartment 6 side when the cradle 7 b is raised and is stored compactly.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 12-18, the partition plate 20 which hold | maintains the some micro mobility 5 loaded in the luggage compartment 6 so that it may not fall down is provided in the upper side of the luggage compartment 6, respectively. In the present embodiment, the partition plate 20 has a rectangular plate shape, but the shape may be an uneven shape matched to the micro mobility 5 and can be held so that the micro mobility 5 does not fall down. What has moderate softness which does not damage 5 is good. At both ends in the width direction of the partition plate 20, a support roller 20 a that moves along the outer rail 21 provided on the side wall 6 b of the luggage compartment 6 and a partition plate driving mechanism 22 are driven and provided inside the outer rail 21. Further, a driving roller 20b that moves along the inner rail 22d is provided at each vertex of the frame member 24 that is triangular when viewed from the side. The outer rail 21 and the inner rail 22d are formed in a substantially U shape in which the rear side is continuous in two upper and lower stages in a side view, and plays a role of guiding the support roller 20a and the driving roller 20b, respectively. In particular, the outer rail 21 is not curved in an arc shape on the rear side like the inner rail 22d, and has an inflection point. As a result, as shown in FIG. The predetermined trajectory is shown. And as shown in FIG. 13, when the support roller 20a exists in the upper side of the outer side rail 21, it is comprised so that the partition plate 20 may incline and are accommodated by side view. The partition plate drive mechanism 22 includes, for example, an electric motor 22a, a drive shaft 22b, a driven shaft 22c, and a chain 22e (an inner rail in FIG. 12) that is hung between the sprocket of the drive shaft 22b and the sprocket of the driven shaft 22c. The partition plate 20 can be moved by driving the drive roller 20b connected to the chain 22e at a predetermined interval forward or backward. As will be described later, the control device 19 is configured to appropriately control the electric motor 22a and to move the partition plate 20 in conjunction with the movement timing of the loading platform side conveyor 9.

  For example, a buffer having a relatively soft material such as rubber or elastomer that prevents damage to the front end and the rear end of the micro mobility 5 is provided at the position where the micro mobility 5 is accommodated on the side wall 6b of the luggage compartment 6. The member 23 is affixed. In the present embodiment, the outer surface of the loading platform 4 where the buffer member 23 is attached is bulged, but it is not always necessary to bulge in this way.

-Loading procedure for ultra-compact mobility-
Next, a procedure for loading a plurality of micro mobility 5 on the small vehicle transport vehicle 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  First, as shown in FIG. 3, the hood member 8 is removed from the state where the cradle 7b stands up, and the cradle 7b is lowered. At this time, since the plurality of partition plates 20 are stored in an inclined state on the upper side of the luggage compartment 6, the height of the loading platform 4 can be suppressed, and the height of the small vehicle transport vehicle 1 can be suppressed. .

  And as shown in FIG. 1, the slope 14 is taken out from the slope accommodating part 15, and it arrange | positions in an appropriate position, It connects with the step board 13 of the receiving stand 7b rotated and leveled. In this manner, by storing the slope 14 for facilitating the entry of the ultra-small mobility 5 into the cradle 7b, it is possible to easily secure the storage location of the slope 14 and to prepare the slope 14 for each loading / unloading location. Disappear.

  And as shown in FIG. 10, it fixes in the state which pulled out the fall prevention member 16. As shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 (b), in the vehicle stop mechanism 12, the contact roller 12c is pushed against the ground, and the vehicle stop portion 12a moves forward most in the vehicle width direction by the four-bar linkage mechanism 12b.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the microminiature mobility 5 gets into the cradle 7b that has descended to the ground from the vehicle width direction of the small vehicle transporter 1. Since the gate-side conveyor 11 is not used when the ultra-small mobility 5 is boarded, the vehicle stopper mechanism 12 is moved to the inner side in the vehicle width direction to interfere with the gate-side conveyor 11 so that the micro-mobility 5 is reliably positioned and prevented from falling. be able to. In addition, since the fall prevention member 16 is provided, the micro mobility 5 is more difficult to fall from the cradle 7b. After the ultra-compact mobility 5 gets on the gate-side conveyor 11, the passenger gets off.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 13, the cradle 7b is raised. At this time, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), as the cradle 7b is lifted while the micro mobility 5 is stopped at that position, the car stopper 12a is moved outward in the vehicle width direction to move the gate side conveyor. 11 to avoid interference. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the car stopper mechanism 12 can be prevented from interfering with the movement of the gate-side conveyor 11.

  And the connection conveyor 17 is driven in the state which the receiving stand 7b rose. At this time, the connecting conveyor 17 is driven backward, brought into contact with the gate-side conveyor 11 and driven forward, and the micro mobility 5 is drawn. The drive of the electric motor 22a is started at an appropriate timing, and the support roller 20a of the first partition plate 20 is gradually moved from the upper outer rail 21 to the lower outer rail 21.

  First, the rear wheel 5a rides on the driven roller 18, and then the front wheel 5a rides. Thus, even if the connection conveyor 17 moves to the opposite side to the conveyance direction of the micro mobility 5, the connection conveyor 17 does not contact the bottom surface of the micro mobility 5, so that the front and rear wheels 5a are driven rollers. 18 can be moved smoothly to the cargo compartment 6 side.

  Next, the control device 19 stops the driving of the gate-side conveyor 11 by controlling the connecting conveyor 17 when the rear wheel 5a of the micro-mobility 5 is sufficiently on the carrier-side conveyor 9.

  Next, the control device 19 controls the connecting conveyor 17 to drive the loading platform side conveyor 9. That is, the driving force behind the connecting conveyor 17 is transmitted to drive the carrier-side conveyor 9 forward. In accordance with this, the electric motor 22a is driven, and the partition plate 20 is gradually moved so as not to hit the ultra-small mobility 5. In this way, by raising or tilting the connecting conveyor 17, it can be easily interlocked with the loading platform side conveyor 9 or the gate side conveyor 11, so it is only necessary to provide the drive unit only on the connecting conveyor 17 part, The structure becomes simple and the control becomes easy. Further, when the partition plate 20 is moved from the storage position on the upper side of the cargo compartment 6, even when the partition plate 20 protrudes from the rear end of the cargo compartment 6 as shown in FIG. 20 does not contact the rear end of the platform.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 15, the loading platform side conveyor 9 and the electric motor 22 a are interlocked and stopped at an appropriate position. In addition, the partition plate 20 may come to the front side of the first micro-mobility 5 or a cushioning material may be provided on the front side of the luggage compartment 6. As described above, the movement of the carrier-side conveyor 9 and the partition plate 20 is interlocked by the control device 19, whereby the rollover of the microminiature mobility 5 can be prevented at an appropriate position by the partition plate 20.

  During this time, as shown in FIG. 15, the second micro-mobility 5 is placed on the receiving base 7 b and similarly raised to the position of the connecting conveyor 17.

  Then, the gate-side conveyor 11 is driven to bring the second micro mobility 5 close to the first. At this time, since the first micro mobility 5 is stopped, an appropriate distance between them can be adjusted.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 16, when the second micro-mobility 5 is placed at an appropriate position on the carrier-side conveyor 9, the carrier-side conveyor 9 and the electric motor 22 a are driven again.

  And as shown in FIG. 17, the two micro mobility 5 is moved to an appropriate position, and the carrier-side conveyor 9 and the electric motor 22a are stopped.

  Similarly, the third micro-mobility 5 is raised and moved to the position shown in FIG.

  By repeating these operations, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, up to six ultra-small mobility 5 are mounted. When not reaching six, the last micro mobility 5 is stopped in a state where it has been moved to an appropriate position on the carrier-side conveyor 9.

  Finally, as shown in FIG. 7, the connecting conveyor 17 is raised and the cradle 7b is raised. If it does so, the connection conveyor 17 will be accommodated compactly. At this time, the connecting conveyor 17 may be erected at the same time with the power to erect the receiving base 7b. The hood member 8 covers the rear end of the loading platform 4.

  On the other hand, when the ultra-small mobility 5 is lowered, the reverse operation is performed.

  In this way, the control device 19 drives the connecting conveyor 17 to interlock the gate side conveyor 11 to draw the micro mobility 5 and adjust the timing to connect the connecting conveyor 17 and the loading platform side conveyor 9. The micro mobility 5 can be arranged in the luggage compartment 6 at an arbitrary interval.

  In addition, when the micro mobility 5 is arranged in the vehicle width direction perpendicular to the traveling direction of the small vehicle transport vehicle 1, the micro mobility 5 is likely to fall down as the small vehicle transport vehicle 1 travels. The partition plate 20 can effectively prevent rollover of the micro mobility 5.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, since the microminiature mobility 5 has only to get on the cradle 7b from the vehicle width direction of the small vehicle carrier 1, the rear space of the small vehicle carrier 1 is about the width of the cradle 7b. What is necessary is just to be able to load and unload the micro mobility 5 in a narrow parking space.

  Therefore, according to the small vehicle transport vehicle 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to easily load as many microminiature mobility 5 as possible even in a narrow parking space.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention may be configured as follows with respect to the above embodiment.

  That is, in the said embodiment, although the micro mobility 5 is arranged in the luggage compartment 6 so that the front-back direction may turn into the vehicle width direction of the small vehicle transport vehicle 1, the front-back direction is with respect to the vehicle width direction. You may arrange in the direction to incline.

  In the above embodiment, the control device 19 can control the tailgate lifter 7, the connection conveyor 17 and the electric motor 22a. However, the control device for the tailgate lifter 7 and the control device for the connection conveyor 17 and the electric motor 22a are separately provided. May be provided.

  In the above embodiment, the connecting conveyor 17 is provided. However, the connecting conveyor 17 is not provided, and a driving source is provided for each of the cargo bed side conveyor 9 and the gate side conveyor 11, and these are controlled separately by the control device 19. Thus, the ultra-small mobility 5 may be loaded.

  In the above-described embodiment, the small vehicle carrier 1 is a van type and the loading platform 4 has the load room 6 having the roof and the side wall 6b. However, the loading platform 4 is a flat body type and does not have the roof and the high side wall. But you can. In that case, the partition plate 20 may be movably supported by a frame instead of the side wall 6b.

  In addition, the above embodiment is an essentially preferable illustration, Comprising: It does not intend restrict | limiting the range of this invention, its application thing, or a use.

  As described above, the present invention is useful for a small vehicle transport vehicle that loads and transports a plurality of small vehicles such as micro mobility.
