Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a vehicle carrier, and more particularly to a vehicle carrier capable of keeping the total height of a vehicle loaded state low.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as shown, for example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-2651, a lower deck provided on a chassis and an upper deck that is vertically driven on the lower deck are provided. A vehicle carrier in which a plurality of vehicles are mounted on a deck is generally known.

By the way, in the conventional vehicle carrier of this type, when loading a vehicle on the upper deck, a method is adopted in which the upper deck is inclined downward toward the rear end and the vehicle is run to load the vehicle.

FIG. 7 shows a conventional upper deck on which vehicles are loaded by such a loading method. The upper deck is a rectangular frame-shaped frame 101 and is arranged in the width direction in the frame 101. A horizontal member 102 and a reinforcing member 103 that reinforces the running portion of the vehicle are provided, and an expanded metal 104 for a passage is installed on the upper surface side of the reinforcing member 103.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the above-mentioned conventional vehicle carrier, since the method of running the vehicle on the upper deck to load the vehicle is adopted, a member not required during transportation of the vehicle, for example, expanded metal 104.
Is required, and the weight of the vehicle increases accordingly, and maintenance work such as rust prevention is not easy, and if this is neglected,
Rust may drip from the rainwater and stain the vehicle on the lower deck.

Further, since it is necessary to support the weight of the traveling vehicle, it is necessary to reinforce the entire area of the frame 101 of the upper deck with the cross members 102, and the space between them with the reinforcing member 103. There is no choice but to raise the upper deck installation position due to interference with the vehicle above. Because of this, about 50-60
There is a problem that the transportation efficiency deteriorates because it is not possible to clear the domestic law of 3.8 m or less in height, it is not possible to stack in two stages, or the number of vehicles loaded on the upper deck is reduced by a slight difference of about mm. There is.

In addition, the vehicle that was run and loaded on the upper deck,
Since it is necessary to hold it stably during transportation, it is necessary to provide a tire stopper of an up-down type or a detachable type and to tie the vehicle with a wire, which causes a problem that the work is not easy.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and can simplify the structure of the upper deck to reduce the weight and maintenance work, and the loading work of the vehicle on the upper deck is easy, It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle carrier whose overall height can be kept low.

[Constitution of device]

(Means for Solving the Problem) As a means for achieving the above-mentioned object, the present invention has an upper deck having a lower surface shape that follows the upper surface shape of the lower deck,
A rectangular frame-shaped frame that is closely placed on the lower deck when loading a vehicle, a cross member installed in the frame according to the position of each wheel of the mounted vehicle, and between the front and rear cross members or between the cross member and the frame And a concave portion into which at least one of the front and rear wheels of the mounted vehicle is dropped when the upper deck is raised.

(Operation) In the vehicle carrier according to the present invention, when the vehicle is loaded on the upper deck, the upper deck is first lowered, and the upper deck is closely arranged. Then, the vehicles are stacked on the upper deck with the lower deck as the passageway. Therefore, even if the cross members are arranged only at the respective wheel positions of the vehicle, the vehicle can be loaded onto the upper deck, and the wheels do not fall into the recess. Moreover, the structure of the upper deck is simplified, and the weight and maintenance work are reduced.

If the upper deck is lifted after the vehicle is loaded on the upper deck, the wheels of the mounted vehicle are dropped into the recesses and stably held without using any other fixing means.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example of a vehicle carrier according to the present invention. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 is a chassis of the vehicle carrier, and a rear portion of the chassis 1 is supported by wheels 2 and a front portion thereof. Is connected to the tractor 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, a lower deck 4 on which _two vehicles C ₁ and C ₂ are mounted is provided on the upper surface of the chassis 1, and both sides of the chassis 1 in the width direction are provided with Lower deck 4
A support frame 6 is installed upright to guide the upper deck 5 that moves up and down. As shown in FIG. 2, two vehicles C ₃ and C ₄ are mounted on the upper deck 5 as in the lower deck 4.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the upper deck 5 has a rectangular frame-shaped frame 7 having a lower surface shape imitating the upper surface shape of the lower deck 4 and wheel positions of the vehicles C ₃ and C _4. For example, 7 horizontal members 5b installed together in the frame 7
And a reinforcing member 5c for reinforcing the horizontal member 5b,
Front and rear wheel mounting portions 7a and 7b of each vehicle C ₃ and C ₄ are formed in the portion surrounded by the frame 5a, the cross member 5b and the reinforcing member 5c, as shown by the mesh in FIG. Has been done. As shown in FIG. 2, each front wheel mounting portion 7a has a hole shape so that the front wheel can be dropped when the upper deck 5 is raised.

In FIG. 2, reference numerals 8 and 9 are hydraulic cylinders for moving the upper deck 5 up and down along the support frame 6, and reference numerals
Reference numeral 10 denotes a road board used when loading and unloading the vehicles C ₁ , C ₂ , C ₃ , and C ₄ .

 Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

When loading the vehicles C ₁ , C ₂ , C ₃ , C ₄ , first, as shown in FIG. 4, the road plate 10 is pulled out to form a slope, and the upper deck 5 is lowered to be placed on the lower deck 4. Place them closely. At this time, since the lower surface of the upper deck 5 has a shape that follows the upper surface shape of the lower deck 4, if the upper deck 5 is placed in close contact with the lower deck 4, the opening of the upper deck 5 will be opened from the lower surface side by the lower deck 4. The door is closed, and it is as if the upper deck 5 is provided with expanded metal for passages.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the vehicles C ₃ and C ₄ are run and loaded on the upper deck 5 in this state. At this time, as described above, the hole-shaped front wheel mounting portion 7a is also closed from the lower surface side by the lower deck 4, so that the wheel may drop deeply into the front wheel mounting portion 7a when traveling and loading. Absent.

When the vehicles C ₃ and C ₄ are loaded on the upper deck 5, the upper deck 5 is raised. Then, the front wheels of the vehicles C ₃ and C ₄ are dropped into the front wheel mounting portion 7a, and the vehicles C ₃ and C ₄ can be fixed on the upper deck 5 without using a special fixing means.

If the upper deck 5 is raised to a predetermined position,
As shown in the figure, the vehicles C ₁ and C ₂ are stacked on the lower deck 4 and fixed with wires or the like. At this time, the upper deck 5 should be raised higher than the position at the time of transportation to lower the lower deck 4.
A wide vertical gap may be formed between the vehicle and C, and the vehicle C ₁ and C ₂ may be lowered to the regular position after being loaded on the lower deck 4.

Since the upper deck 5 has the horizontal members 5b arranged only in the portions corresponding to the wheels of the vehicles C ₃ and C ₄ , the structure is simplified and the weight can be reduced, and the rust prevention and the like can be achieved. Easy to maintain and no need to use expensive stainless steel.

Further, since the vehicles C ₃ and C ₄ are stacked on the upper deck 5 while being closely arranged on the lower deck 4, there is no problem even if the upper deck 5 is not provided with an expanded metal for passage.

Further, since the cross member 5b is arranged only at the portion corresponding to the wheels of the vehicles C ₃ and C ₄ , unlike the conventional upper deck shown in FIG. 7, the cross member 5b is provided at the position indicated by the symbol CM in FIG. Disappears,
Since there is no danger of interfering with the vehicles C ₁ and C ₂ , the upper deck 5 can be lowered to that extent, and the domestic regulations of 3.8 m or less in total height can be cleared without reducing the number of mounted vehicles.

Further, since the front wheels of the vehicles C ₃ and C _{4 on} the upper deck 5 are dropped into the front wheel mounting portion 7a, there is no need to fasten them with a wire or the like, the work is easy, and the total height of the dropped vehicles is high. Can be kept low.

In addition, although the case where the position of the cross member 5b of the upper deck 5 is fixed has been described in the above-mentioned embodiment, the position may be adjusted according to the wheel base of the vehicles C ₃ and C ₄ . Also,
The rear wheel mounting portion 7b may also be formed in a hole shape so that both the front and rear wheels can be dropped.
