Description

Detailed description of the invention [Industrial application field] The invention relates to a one-box type passenger car.

[Technical background]

In general, a passenger car called a one-box car has no significant difference in planar size as compared with a sedan-type passenger car, but has a larger indoor volume, and therefore can have more passengers than a sedan type. Things.

On the other hand, this one-box car has a large number of passengers but a high floor, so steps are provided at the entrance and exit,
The width of the entrance is also limited to the width of the step, so that it is narrow, so that it is difficult for elderly people, children, etc. to get on and off, and there is a problem that the seat is high and the riding comfort is poor.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Under such circumstances, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-161274 discloses a technique for lowering the floor surface. However, since this propeller shaft (propulsion shaft) passes through the passenger compartment, it does not have a low floor like a sedan type because it needs to cover the shaft, and requires steps.

In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to make it easy and easy to get in and out of a vehicle while having the size of a normal one-box car.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to solve the above-described problem, the present invention is a one-box passenger car having three rows of seats, a driver's cab at the front and a passenger compartment at the middle rear, and an engine provided under the front floor. Is a front wheel drive, when the engine is provided under the rear floor, it is rear wheel drive, the floor between the front wheel axle and the rear wheel axle is lower than the two axles, and the front seat is provided in the cab, A central seat is provided between the front and rear axles of the cabin, and a rear seat is provided on the rear axle of the cabin. A door for getting on and off is provided between the front and rear axles of the cabin, and one or more doors for getting on and off are provided on each side. And the luggage compartment is provided at the ceiling of the cabin, and the luggage compartment is formed with an entrance on the cabin side, or the roof of the cabin is slightly lower than the roof of the driver's cab. A handrail is provided around it to prevent the baggage from falling. It was an adult.

[Action]

With this configuration, the propeller shaft is eliminated from the cabin as a front wheel or rear wheel drive at the engine installation position, so the cabin has a flat floor and a low floor like a sedan. Become. If the door of this low-floor cabin is opened, the entrance is wide open, the cabin floor is low and no steps are required, so that elderly people and children can easily get on and off.

In addition, since the floor in the guest room has a low floor like a sedan, the ceiling of the guest room is higher than that of the conventional one. For this reason, even if a luggage room is provided on the ceiling of the guest room, the feeling of oppression is small, and a long object or the like can be stored in the luggage room, so that it can be conveniently taken in and out of the guest room. In addition, the roof of the cabin is lowered one step and a handrail is provided around it, so luggage can be carried on the roof and transported, and since the loading platform is lower than the cab roof, less wind pressure is applied to luggage during traveling Is good.

〔Example〕

In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a body of a passenger car generally called a one-box car.

As shown in FIG. 2, a driver's cab 2 having a driver's seat and a passenger's seat and a passenger cabin 3 are provided in the vehicle body 1, and the driver's cab 2 has the same height as a normal one-box car. Numeral 4 is approximately the same height as the floor of a normal sedan type passenger car, that is, lower than the height of the axle.

There are conventional open doors 5 on both sides of the cab 2, but at least on the entry / exit side of the vehicle body 1, that is, on the left side, open / close doors 6 and 7 similar to those of a sedan type passenger car are provided in front and back. The lower end of the mouth is made equal to the height of the floor surface 4, and the rear end of the vehicle body 1 is provided with a loading port 9 for luggage having an outward opening door 8 as shown in FIG.

If the driving means is front engine, rear wheel drive,
Since the propeller shaft passes under the floor, the center of the floor must be raised.

Therefore, the engine is mounted under the front floor to drive the front wheels, or the engine is mounted under the rear floor to drive the rear wheels. In this case, since the propeller shaft does not pass under the floor, the floor surface 4 of the passenger room 3 can be made flat (flat) even if the floor surface 4 is lower than the height of the axle.

The front opening doors 6 and 7 may be provided on both sides of the vehicle body 1 like a sedan type passenger car.

A luggage room 10 is provided on the ceiling of the guest room 3. This luggage room 10
The luggage doorway is provided on the cabin 3 side, but it can also be made externally by opening and closing lids provided on both sides of the roof.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show a second embodiment, similar to the above-described embodiment, where 1 is a body of a passenger car generally called a one-box car.

As shown in FIG. 4, a driver's cab 2 having a driver's seat and a passenger's seat and a passenger cabin 3 are provided in the body of the car body 1, and the driver's cab 2 has the same height as a normal one-box car. Numeral 4 is approximately the same height as the floor of a normal sedan type passenger car, that is, lower than the height of the axle.

There are conventional open doors 5 on both sides of the cab 2, but at least on the entry / exit side of the vehicle body 1, that is, on the left side, open / close doors 6 and 7 similar to those of a sedan type passenger car are provided in front and back. The lower end of the mouth is made equal to the height of the floor surface 4, and further, at the rear end of the vehicle body 1, there is provided a loading port 9 for luggage having an opening door 8 as shown in FIG.

The height of the roof 12 of the cabin 3 is slightly lower than the height of the roof 11 of the driver's cab 2, and a handrail 13 is provided around the roof to prevent the load from dropping.

 Other points are the same as those of the above embodiment.

[Effects of the invention] This invention is configured as described above, and while taking advantage of the fact that one-box car has a large number of passengers,
Since the cabin floor is as low as a sedan type passenger car and one or more doors for getting on and off are open-doors, there is no step like a conventional one-box car, and the width of the entrance is wider, Since the height from the ground to the floor is low, elderly people and children can easily get on and off, and can easily get on and off the wheelchair using the auxiliary slope.

In addition, the floor surface of the cabin is lowered, the cabin is also lowered, and the center of gravity of the vehicle body is also lowered, and the vehicle is similar to a general sedan type passenger car.

Since the floor of the guest room is low, the cabin height (ceiling height) of the guest room is higher than that of a conventional one-box car. Therefore,
Compared to a conventional one-box car, the feeling of oppression is reduced, the livability is improved, and it becomes possible to stand and walk in the car for nursing elderly and sick people. In addition, by partitioning between the driver's cab and the passenger compartment, it can be changed to a reception-like use, and in the case of business use, there is a security effect.

In addition, it is easy to get on and off, so it is easy to get out in case of emergency, but if front and rear doors are provided on both sides of the cabin, it will be very easy to combine There are effects such as easier escape at the time.

In addition, by installing a luggage room on the ceiling of the cabin where long objects can enter, and by making this entrance inside the cabin, luggage can be prevented from being stolen, dropped, and degraded due to external exposure. The appearance is not impaired.

In addition, the roof of the cabin is slightly lower than the roof of the driver's cab, and a handrail is installed around it to prevent luggage from falling down. Since it is lower than the roof of the driver's cab, the wind pressure applied to the luggage during traveling is small and the traveling property is good.
