Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle (vehicle) lift. The present invention relates to a vehicle lift for preventing the lower part of a vehicle in which a vehicle has been moved from being shaded when the vehicle is moved up and down in a maintenance shop or the like prior to vehicle maintenance work, etc., thereby reducing workability. .

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, when a vehicle lift is used for maintenance of a vehicle, etc., it is necessary to move the vehicle into a predetermined position where the lift is installed and move the tip of the lift arm of the lift to fit it below the jack point of the vehicle. A vehicle receiver is installed on the lift arm of the lift below the jack point of the vehicle, and the vehicle receiver or the tip of the lift arm is used to support a predetermined location (jack point) of the vehicle and lift the vehicle. I am doing it.

[0003] However, usually, a place where a vehicle lift is installed, such as a vehicle maintenance shop, is provided with lighting on a ceiling and is illuminated from above. Will be. Therefore, the lower part of the car is difficult to see, so a flashlight etc. is held in one hand, the tip of the lifting arm is aligned with the jack point, and a vehicle receiver is installed between the lifting arm and the jack point. Therefore, there is a problem that since such an operation is one-handed, a large amount of labor is required. In addition, there is a problem that a plurality of people may be required in the above-mentioned alignment work, such as one person holding lighting such as an electric light and another person performing the above-described alignment work. Was.

[0004] In particular, it is of course possible to hang a light bulb or the like below the raised vehicle to illuminate the bottom of the vehicle so that the bottom of the vehicle can be seen. Therefore, adjusting the position of the vehicle receiver to the jack point would have been a bit dark.

[0005] Incidentally, the support portion of the lift, such as a vehicle receiver, which is adapted to the jack point of the vehicle in which the vehicle has entered is, of course, a movable portion and a portion that moves up and down together with the lift. Providing an electric light such as a light bulb to illuminate has a problem in that wiring is extremely difficult, and fixing the electric light to this portion impedes the work, and is also dangerous if the light is damaged during the work.

At the places where vehicle lifts are used, thorough safety measures manuals have been prepared to prevent accidents as much as possible. Nevertheless, after the work is completed, However, accidents such as hitting the head with the lift cannot be completely avoided without lowering the lift based on the principle that the worker falls into the pit or descends after the work.

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle lift that can illuminate necessary parts without using electric wiring, facilitates work, and ensures safety. It was done.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes a technical measure in which a luminous material layer 30 is applied to a vehicle receiving portion 10 such as a vehicle receiving member 11 of a lift body 20.

Therefore, the vehicle lift according to the present invention lowers the lift and puts the vehicle in that part. Then, it is a matter of course that the lower part of the car in which the vehicle has entered is shaded, but at this time, the light energy stored in the phosphorescent material layer 30 when the car is not in the upper part is radiated, and the light energy is radiated to the surroundings. The effect of irradiating is shown.

Next, in the invention of claim 2, the phosphorescent material layer 30 is applied to the vehicle receiving portion 10 such as the vehicle receiving member 11 of the lift body 20 and the end of the lifting arm 21 of the lift body 20. It has taken technical measures.

Therefore, in the vehicle lift according to the present invention, in addition to the function of the above-mentioned claim 1, since the luminous material layer 30 is also applied to the end of the lifting arm 21, the lift is lowered after the operation is completed. Even if there is no such function, it is possible to easily confirm the end of the lifting arm 21 even in a dark place.

Next, the invention of claim 3 provides a vehicle receiving portion 10 such as a vehicle receiving member 11 of the lift body 20, an end of the lifting arm 21 of the lift body 20, and an edge floor of the lift storage pit 40. This is a technical measure in which a phosphorescent material layer 30 is applied to both sides.

Therefore, in the vehicle lift of the present invention, in addition to the function of the second aspect, the luminous material layer 30 is also applied to the floor at the edge of the lift storage pit 40. The present invention has an effect that the position of the pit 40 can be confirmed even in a dark place.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 20 denotes a lift body. As the lift body 20, conventionally known types can be used. In the lift body 20 of the example shown in FIG. 1, a lift arm 21 having a substantially H-shaped plane is fixed to the upper end of a lift plunger 20a. At four ends of the lifting arm 21, vehicle receivers 11 (the upper surface is usually made of rubber for a passenger car) for supporting jack points of an automobile are attached.

The lifting body 20 shown in FIG. 2 has a pair of lifting / lowering plungers 20a provided in parallel, and the upper ends of both lifting / lowering plungers 20a, 20a are provided with horizontal plate-like lifting arms 21, 21, respectively. The bases of a pair of pull-out loading arms 23, 23 are pivotally fixed on the vertical axis to the lifting arms 21, 21, respectively. A vehicle receiver 11 is attached to the tip of each pull-out loading arm 23, respectively. ing.

The lift body 20 shown in FIG. 3 is provided with a fixed lifting / lowering plunger 20a on the left side of the figure and a movable lifting / lowering plunger 20b on the right side of the figure. The distance from the fixed lifting / lowering plunger 20a can be changed by a drive source (not shown) provided in a pit 40 provided below the floor. This type of one-sided mobile vehicle lift is used for large vehicles such as trucks, and mainly uses the axle of the vehicle as a jack point. The vehicle receiver 11 is made of a plate material and the axle of the vehicle is on the upper side. A concave portion 11a to be engaged is provided, and concave portions 11b, 11b for engaging the parallel standing plate portions 21a, 21a of the elevating arm 21 fixed to the upper ends of the elevating plungers 20a, 20b are provided on the lower side.

In the present invention, the luminous material layer 30 is applied to the vehicle receiving portion 10 such as the vehicle receiving member 11 of the lift body 20. As the phosphorescent material, a conventionally known material that stores the energy of the irradiated (received) light and emits a fluorescent color when the amount of irradiated light decreases can be used. Usually, the material is commercially available in the form of a paint. As shown in FIG. 4 ", it may be applied to the vehicle receiving portion 10 such as the vehicle receiving member 11, but it is a matter of course that a transparent resin layer or the like may be further laminated thereon for surface protection. is there.

In the above description, the vehicle receiver 10 such as the vehicle receiver 11 is not limited to the upper surface of the vehicle receiver 11 but also includes the vicinity thereof. In this case, the phosphorescent material layer 30 is applied over a wide area not only to the upper surface of the vehicle receiver 11 but also to the upper surface of the loading arm 23 to which the vehicle receiver 11 is attached. do it.

Since the light emitted from the light storage material layer 30 cannot be irradiated over a long distance with a fluorescent color, if the light is emitted over a large area, the light emitted from the light storage material layer 30 becomes slightly brighter to a position about 10 to 20 cm away. Since the work of adjusting the position of the vehicle receiver 11 to the jack point is usually performed at a distance of several centimeters up and down, the hand is bright enough and there is sufficient illumination to see the alignment part. It is obtained. Although not shown in FIG. 3, a phosphorescent material layer 30 is applied to the entire surface of the vehicle receiver 11.

Next, according to the invention of claim 2, the phosphorescent material layer 30 is applied to the vehicle receiving portion 10 such as the vehicle receiving member 11 of the lift body 20 and the end of the lifting arm 21 of the lift body 20. That is, in addition to the configuration of the first aspect, the phosphorescent material layer 30 is also applied to the end of the lifting arm 21 of the lift body 20.

The luminous material layer 30 at the end of the lifting arm 21 is not intended for illumination as described in claim 1 but is intended for security. It is sufficient if it can be confirmed. Therefore, the light storage material layer 30 does not need to have a large area, and it is more effective to use a design that can draw attention. The light storage material layers 30, 30,... At the end of the pull-out loading arm 23 and at the end of the lifting arm 21 other than the vehicle receiver 11 shown in FIG.

Next, the invention of claim 3 relates to a vehicle receiving portion 10 such as a vehicle receiving member 11 of the lift body 20, an end of the lifting arm 21 of the lift body 20, and an edge floor of the lift storage pit 40. A light-storing material layer 30 coated on the surface of the lift storage pit 40, that is, a light-storing material layer 30 coated on the edge floor surface of the lift storage pit 40 in addition to the configuration of claim 2. It is.

The luminous material layer 30 is also provided for security, and a lid is provided on the lift storage pit 40, and there is no danger of falling even if it is put on the pit. It is a rule that no one other than the people concerned can enter the area, as it may interfere with the operation of the lift and injure the lifted lift. In particular, immediately after turning off the lighting after work, it is not always the case that tools that were forgotten to be cleared are not dropped on the floor (on the lid of the pit). It is required. The floor F in FIG. 1 is also coated with a luminous material layer 30 for security. The location where there is a danger and attention must be paid not only to the edge of the pit 40 but also to the luminous material layer 30 Needless to say, it is acceptable to apply a.
