Description

  The present invention relates to a bus, and more particularly to a shared bus such as a long-distance night bus.

As a long-distance night bus, a large bus with a high floor surface called a so-called high decker bus has recently been used. This high decker bus is a cross-sectional front view of the bus shown in FIG. 10, a right side view of the bus cabin shown in FIG. 11, and a plane for explaining the layout of the passages and seats of the bus cabin shown in FIG. Referring to the figure, for example, the height from floor surface 4 in guest room 1 is 1970 mm, the width is 2320 mm, the length is 11125 mm, and seats 2 are provided in three rows in guest room 1 so that the number of seats Is 29 seats (in FIG. 12, the space of the seat 2 is indicated by a square, and each seat is indicated by a number from 1 to 29 in the square). Reference numeral 5 is a chassis, and 6 is a wheel. Reference numeral 7 is a driver's seat, 8 is an entrance / exit, and 9 is a toilet.
However, in the case of the above-described current high decker bus, in order to arrange more seats 2 in the limited space of the cabin 1, the space of the passages 3 and 3 formed between the three rows is very narrow, 310 mm and 220 mm. Of course, it is difficult to pass between 3 and 3, and even in the wider passage 3, the walking itself cannot move unless it diagonally walks. In addition, when moving with luggage, it was difficult to move so as not to inconvenience other passengers who were already seated.
In terms of privacy, the space between the three rows of seats 2 is 310 mm and 220 mm, so that the space between the adjacent seats 2 and 2 is narrow. There was a problem that women's customers were shunned because they couldn't protect their privacy, such as seeing sleeping.
In addition, as the space of each seat 2, the space in the front-rear direction secured as a seat is 950 mm and the seat width is 460 mm. Of course, the seat width is narrow, even when the seat is brought into a reclining state, There is a problem that the leg cannot be fully extended in the reclining state, and there is also a problem that the seat behind the reclining state itself is not worrisome enough to be secured, and the cramped state is strong for a long time There was a problem of being.
In addition, in the case of a night bus, there is a rule of turning off at 22:00 from the viewpoint that it is a shared bus. However, for those who cannot sleep in a cramped space, there is a problem that they want to have free time for reading until a certain time.

Apart from the above-mentioned current long-distance night bus, as a prior art of this type of bus, there is a second-floor bus disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-131586. This second floor bus is provided with a passage floor surface (3) blown up to the ceiling in the center of the vehicle body, and two upper and lower two floors (4) and upper floor surface (5) on both sides of the passage floor surface (3). Stepped floors are provided to form a second floor bus, and seats (6) are arranged in a row on both the lower floor (4) and the upper floor (5) on both sides.
In this second-floor bus, it is possible to secure a sufficient passage space without reducing the number of seats compared to the case of a single-decker bus. In addition, it is possible to secure individual spaces in the individual seats (6) without reducing the number of seats.
Another prior art is a bus disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-98880. This bus forms two independent compartments (16) and (17) with the front half of the vehicle body as two stories in order to construct three independent compartments in the vehicle. In addition, the latter half of the vehicle body is a single storey and a further compartment (18) space is formed.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-131586 JP 2004-98880 A

However, the second-floor bus described in Patent Document 1 described above forms a part of the frame on the bus body (1), and welds the lower floor surface (4) and the upper floor surface (5) to the frame. Therefore, there is a problem that the cost of remodeling is high if the current bus is simply remodeled, regardless of whether it is manufactured as a new car. Also, in reality, the structure of the special specification is such that a part of the ceiling of the vehicle body (1) is raised. In addition, the seat configuration is merely a configuration in which the seats are simply mounted and arranged on the floors (4) and (5) in which the seats are arranged in two steps as in the conventional art.
In addition, the bus described in Patent Document 2 is a special two-story bus having a single-story part and a two-story part, and is manufactured according to a special specification. It was not something that could be modified and configured.

  Therefore, the present invention eliminates the disadvantages of the conventional buses such as long-distance night buses, and can be easily modified and configured even in conventional single deck buses used for high-decker buses and other long-distance night buses. It is possible to secure a sufficient aisle space without reducing the number of seats, and in particular, to provide a comfortable bus that can secure privacy by sufficiently separating individual seats from each other. .

In order to achieve the above object, the bus of the present invention is a bus in which seats are arranged in a cabin, and a passage is provided in the center of the cabin, and seat cells are arranged in two rows on each side of the passage. The first feature is that a combination of private room seats is formed.
In addition to the first feature described above, the bus of the present invention has a second feature that the upper seat cell and the lower seat cell are stacked in a state shifted by approximately half a cell in the front-rear direction. .
In addition to the first or second feature described above, the bus of the present invention has a seat cell that forms a private room and a seat, and has a ceiling in addition to the floor wall portion on which the seat is installed. It constitutes an independent body consisting of a wall part, both side wall parts, and a surrounding wall including front and rear wall parts, and the individual seat cells can be in contact with each other to form an aggregate in the front-rear direction and the vertical direction. The third feature is that it has an outer shape.
Further, in addition to any of the first to third features described above, the bus of the present invention has a seat cell with a constant lateral width and a reclining state as a whole, compared to the floor wall. A fourth feature is that the ceiling wall portion is shaped to be displaced rearward.
Further, in addition to any of the first to fourth features described above, the bus of the present invention has a fifth feature that the seat cell has an entrance to the private room opened at one of the side walls.

According to the bus of the first aspect, a private room seat group is configured in the guest room, and each seat is housed in an individual private room. Each individual room is composed of seat cells. Each seat cell is independent and accommodates an individual seat inside. Therefore, by using a plurality of the seat cells and arranging them in combination, a guest room in which a plurality of private room seats in which each seat is arranged in each individual room is efficiently arranged is configured.
Private room seat groups configured in the guest room are arranged in a row and in two rows on both sides of a passage provided in the center of the guest room. That is, since the single room seats are provided in one row on both sides of the central passage, it is possible to provide a sufficient space in the passage width as compared with a conventional high-decker bus or the like having three seats.
In addition to ensuring a sufficient passage width, the seat cells are combined in two stages, so the total number of rows in the upper and lower two stages is four, and the total number of seats compared to the number of seats in the conventional high-decker bus Sufficient seats can be secured without reducing the number of seats.

In addition, since a group of individual seats is configured in the cabin by combining a plurality of seat cells that constitute each individual room, the frame that constitutes the body of the bus and the frame that constitutes the cabin itself are remodeled. The private room seat group can be easily configured in the guest room by a relatively simple reform in the guest room without remodeling. Therefore, it can be easily applied to existing buses.
In addition, the configuration of a private room seat group using seat cells is possible by performing interior construction in the cabin, so there is no need to design and construct a new body structure even in the manufacture of new cars. It is possible to avoid the cost of design and construction, and the risk of building a new bus with a new body structure.
In addition, since each seat is housed in a seat cell, each seat can be visually and audibly isolated from the outside by the seat cell, so that the privacy in each individual seat is sufficient. It can be secured.
In addition, since a private room state is secured by the seat cell, it is possible to provide a comfortable riding environment by arranging video, music, other entertainment and communication facilities in each seat cell. The soundproofing of each private room can be easily done by providing soundproofing equipment on the seat cell walls.

According to the bus of the second aspect, in addition to the effect of the configuration of the first aspect, the upper seat cell and the lower seat cell are stacked in a state shifted by approximately half a cell in the front-rear direction. Thus, the upper and lower individual chambers can be arranged in a shifted state by half chambers. Accordingly, it is possible to provide an entrance to each individual room so that the entrances in the upper and lower private rooms do not overlap.
In addition, it is possible to increase the structural strength when stacking seat cells up and down.

  According to the bus described in claim 3, in addition to the effect of the configuration described in claim 1 or 2, the seat cell has a ceiling portion, both side wall portions, front and rear wall portions in addition to the floor wall portion. A separate room seat can be obtained by configuring an independent body composed of a surrounding wall and installing a seat inside. In addition, the individual seat cells are shaped so that the outer shapes formed by the surrounding walls are in contact with each other and can be aggregated in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction. It can be a row that touches the surface. Similarly, it is possible to form steps that are in close contact with each other in the vertical direction. Therefore, a group of private room seats using seat cells can be configured compactly in the front-rear direction and the vertical direction, and a plurality of private room seats can be arranged by efficiently using the cabin space.

  According to the bus described in claim 4, in addition to the effect of the configuration according to any one of claims 1 to 3, the seat cells are arranged side by side by making the width of the seat cells constant. In some cases, the row width can be made uniform, and the row can be made space-saving in securing a passage in the cabin. In addition, the shape of the ceiling wall is shifted rearward compared to the floor wall so that the internal space is in a reclining state as a whole, corresponding to the space occupied when the customer is seated in the seat. It is possible to secure a seating space that does not give a cramped feeling to the seated customer.

  Moreover, according to the bus of Claim 5, in addition to the effect by the structure in any one of Claims 1-4, since the entrance to the private room is opened in one of the side walls of the seat cell, By arranging the entrance / exit on the side of the passenger compartment, the passenger can easily enter and exit the private room formed by the seat cell from the passage.

First, referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the bus of the present embodiment has a body 10 having a top wall 11, a side wall 12, a front wall 13, a rear wall 14, and the like. The upper half of the side wall 12 and the front wall 13 is a window.
A cabin 20 is provided in the body 10 and is partitioned from the lower side by a floor 21. Below the floor 21, wheels 30 including front wheels 31 and rear wheels 32 and a drive mechanism (not shown) for driving the wheels 30 are arranged. Various mechanisms that have been used in the past can be employed as the mechanism for driving the bus.
A driver's seat 40 is provided in front of the cabin 20. An entrance / exit 50 is provided in the side wall 12 in front of the passenger seat 20.
A toilet 60 is provided at the rearmost part of the guest room 20.

The floor surface 21 of the cabin 20 is lower than the conventional high-decker bus by providing a floor surface 21 that bypasses the bus chassis 70, thereby lowering the floor surface 21 accordingly. The size from the floor surface 21 to the ceiling wall 11, that is, the height of the cabin of the cabin 20 is increased so that a sufficient space for stacking seat cells 80 to be described later can be secured.
Specifically, referring to FIG. 1, in the bus of this embodiment, the floor surface 21 is lowered, so that the height in the cabin 20 is 2170 mm, and the cabin height in a conventional high-decker bus of the same type is 1970 mm (see FIG. 1). 10 space), an extra 200 mm space can be used.

The cabin 20 has one passage 22 in the center thereof. And the seat cell 80 which comprises a private room on both sides of the channel | path 22 is arrange | positioned combining 1 row 2 steps | paragraphs, and the private room seat group is comprised. A seat 90 is accommodated and arranged in each seat cell 80.
Each of the upper and lower seat cells 80 in one row and two stages can enter and exit the upper and lower seat cells 80 from the passage 22 by making the side surfaces thereof face the passage 22.

In the bus of this embodiment, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, on the left side of the passage 22 (the side where the driver's seat is located), there are 7 individual seats in the lower row and 8 private seats in the upper row. ing. 3 and 5, on the right side of the passage 22, an eight-seat private room seat is arranged on the lower stage, and an eight-seat private room seat is also arranged on the upper stage.
Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 shows the seat space as a square, the lower seats are represented by numbers 1 to 15 in the square, and the upper seats are represented by numbers 16 to 31. The total number of the private room seats is 31, which is more than the seat number 29 of the conventional high-decker bus of the same type shown in FIG.
In the bus of this embodiment, the passage width is 720 mm, and a passage width having a margin more than double that of the passage widths 330 mm and 220 mm in the conventional bus can be secured.
In addition, the width and the front and rear dimensions of the individual room seats in the bus of this embodiment are 800 mm and 1600 mm, respectively, compared with the seat space width and the seat space front and rear dimensions of the same type conventional high decker bus shown in FIG. 12 being 460 mm and 950 mm. And sufficient private room space can be secured.

  The seat cells 80 exist as independent bodies. That is, it is not an integral part of the bus frame by welding or other means, but is an independent body that can be installed in the interior of the bus cabin 20 afterwards. .

With reference to FIGS. 6 to 9, the seat cell 80 is slightly different in shape between a seat cell 80a (FIGS. 8 and 9) arranged in the lower stage and a seat cell 80b arranged in the upper stage.
The seat cell 80 includes a floor wall portion 81, a ceiling wall portion 82, left and right side wall portions 83 and 83, a front wall portion 84, and a rear wall portion 85 in both the lower seat cell 80a and the upper seat cell 80b. It consists of a Go wall consisting of Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to distinguish the lower seat cell 80a and the upper seat cell 80b, the description will be made by omitting the suffixes a and b after the numerals. When it is necessary to distinguish between the lower seat cell 80a and the upper seat cell 80b, the lower seat cell 80a has a floor wall portion 81a, a ceiling wall portion 82a, and left and right side wall portions 83a. The front wall portion is 84a and the rear wall portion is 85a. In the upper seat cell 80b, the floor wall portion is 81b, the ceiling wall portion is 82b, the left and right side wall portions are 83b, the front wall portion is 84b, and the rear wall portion is 85b.
A seat 90 is installed on the floor wall portion 81. Of the left and right side wall parts 83, 83, one side wall part 83 facing the passage 22 of the cabin 20 is provided with an entrance 86 for a person to enter and exit, and the other side wall part 83 facing the window side of the cabin 20 is provided on the other side wall part 83. A window 87 is provided. The size and shape of the entrance / exit 86 and the window 87 can be freely designed.

  The seat cells 80 are combined in the front-rear direction, and at this time, at least a large gap is generated so that the rear wall portion 85 of the front seat cell 80 and the front wall portion 84 of the rear seat cell 80 are in close contact with each other. The rear wall 85 and the front wall 84 have an outer shape in which the concavo-convex shapes are adjusted to prevent mutual occurrence. When the front and rear seat cells 80 are in close contact with each other, the space in the front-rear direction in the cabin 20 can be used effectively. Moreover, the structural strength of the private room seat group can be improved by the front and rear seat cells 80 and 80 being in close contact with each other.

The seat cells 80 are combined so as to form a step in the vertical direction. In this case, the lower seat cell 80a and the upper seat cell 80b are in close contact with each other so that at least a large gap does not occur so that the lower seat cell 80a has a ceiling wall portion 82a and an upper seat. The floor wall portion 81b of the cell 80b has an outer shape in which the concave and convex shapes are mutually adjusted.
More specifically, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the seat cells 80a constituting the lower row and the seat cells 80b constituting the upper row are stacked in a state shifted by approximately half a cell from each other in the front-rear direction. It is matched. In other words, each seat cell 80b in the upper stage is arranged so as to be positioned exactly in the middle of the two front and rear seat cells 80a and 80a in the lower stage. In other words, the outer shape of the floor wall portion 81b of the upper seat cell 80b is such that the outer shape of the substantially front half is in close contact with the outer shape of the substantially rear half of the ceiling wall portion 82a of the lower seat cell 80a. In addition, the outer shape of the substantially second half portion of the floor wall portion 81b of the upper seat cell 80b is shaped to be in close contact with the outer shape of the substantially front half portion of the ceiling wall portion 82a of the lower seat cell 80a.
By shifting the position of the seat cell 80 back and forth by approximately half a cell in the upper and lower rows, the boundary portion (the front wall portion 84a and the rear wall portion 85a are joined together) of the two front and rear seat cells 80a in the lower row The seat cell 80b has a structure in which the vicinity of the center of the floor wall portion 81b is supported from the lower side, so that it becomes a kind of honeycomb structure, and the structural strength of the private room seat group can be improved.

Of course, by shifting the position of the seat cell 80 back and forth by approximately half a cell in the upper and lower rows, the entrance / exit 86a of each lower seat cell 80a and the entrance / exit 86b of each upper seat cell 80b can be moved back and forth. It can be positioned in a state shifted by half a cell. As a result, it is possible to prevent the entry / exit to the upper seat cells 80b from being adversely affected or given due to the passengers of the lower seat cells 80a.
Handles 88 are provided on both sides of the entrance / exit 86b of the upper seat cell 80b. Further, a step 89 following the entrance / exit 86b of the upper seat cell 80b is provided in the vicinity of the boundary between the lower seat cells 80a and 80a. Using this handle 88 and step 89, the customer can easily go in and out of the upper seat cell 80b.

The seat cell 80 according to the present embodiment is configured so that the internal space of the seat cell 80 is in a reclining state as a whole without forming a cube or a rectangular parallelepiped. That is, the seat cell 80 has a shape in which the floor wall portion 81 is displaced forward and the ceiling wall portion 82 is displaced backward.
By configuring the seat cell 80 itself in a reclining state, the diagonal length from the lower front to the upper rear in the seat cell 80 can be increased. As a result, the customer sitting on the seat 90 can bring the seat down to a sufficiently reclining state, and the customer sitting in the reclining state can sufficiently extend the toe forward.
However, the seat cell 80 does not have a parallelogram in its longitudinal section.
Referring to FIG. 7, specifically, at least the upper portion 841 of the front wall portion 84 and the upper portion 851 of the rear wall portion 85 of the seat cell 80, specifically, the backrest 91 of the seat 90 when the seat 90 is reclined. The portion above the wall position where the tip reaches is a vertical wall, not an inclined wall. As a result, the distance to the upper portion 841 of the front wall 84 at the tip of the line of sight of the customer sitting in the reclining state can be increased, and the feeling of pressure can be eliminated. When the front wall portion 84 and the rear wall portion 85 of the seat cell 80 are inclined rearward also at the upper portions 841 and 851, the front wall portion 84 ahead of the eyes of the customer sitting in the reclining state is close to the seat cell 80. It will be in a state of approaching, and give a sense of oppression to the customer.

The lower portion of the seat cell 80 excluding the upper portions 841 and 851 of the front wall portion 84 and the rear wall portion 85 is slightly different in shape between the lower seat cell 80a and the upper seat cell 80b. It is configured to advance forward in the downward direction. By adopting such a configuration, a space where a customer sitting on the seat 90 can sufficiently extend his / her legs is secured.

The difference in shape between the lower seat cell 80a and the upper seat cell 80b will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the floor cell portion 81a of the lower seat cell 80a is flat. This is adapted to the floor 21 of the guest room 20. Of course, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the entrance / exit 86 of the lower seat cell 80a is provided so as to bypass the chassis 70 of the vehicle body.
Further, the lower portion 843a of the front wall portion 84a of the lower seat cell 80a is a vertical wall so that the angle with the floor wall portion 81a is not too small, and a foot storage space is secured.
Further, the central portion 842a excluding the upper portion 841a and the lower portion 843a of the front wall portion 84 of the lower seat cell 80a is inclined to ensure the reclining state of the seat 90.

As shown in FIG. 7, the upper seat cell 80b has a flat ceiling wall portion 82b.
Further, the front wall portion 84b of the upper seat cell 80b has its upper portion 841b vertical so that the front wall portion 84b does not approach the front of the eyes of the seated customer as described above. We try not to give customers a sense of pressure. The center portion 842b to the lower portion 843b of the front wall portion 84b are inclined so as to meet the reclining state of the seat 90.
Further, the floor wall portion 81b of the upper seat cell 80b is configured such that a front portion 811b, which is a region where a foot is placed, is inclined so as to rise forward. This makes it easier to place your feet. In addition, the rear portion 813b is inclined so as to rise rearward. The central portion 812b is in a flat state.
Corresponding to the front part 811b of the floor wall part 81b of the upper seat cell 80b, the center part 822a of the ceiling wall part 82a of the lower seat cell 80a is inclined so as to rise forward. In correspondence with the rear portion 813b of the floor wall portion 81b of the upper seat cell 80b, the front portion 821a of the ceiling wall portion 82a of the lower seat cell 80a is inclined so as to be lowered forward. By configuring in this way, the space beyond the line of sight of the customer seated on the lower seat 90 becomes wider and deeper, and the feeling of pressure by the ceiling wall portion 82b for the customer can be reduced. The rear portion 823a of the ceiling wall portion 82a of the lower seat cell 80a is in a flat state corresponding to the central portion 812b of the floor wall portion 81b of the upper seat cell 80b.

  The bus of the present invention is a long-distance night bus, a private room bus with all seats as a private room, ensuring sufficient seating space and aisle space, ensuring a sufficient number of seats, and compared to conventional buses Since it can be used by refurbishing the interior of guest rooms, etc., it is very useful in the bus transport industry.
