Description

  The present invention relates to a traffic-regulated vehicle suitable for carrying out, for example, transportation, installation and removal of road signs and cones.

  When road construction is carried out for the purpose of repair, etc., it is common to install a road sign for traffic regulation and a cone (rubber cone) for lane regulation to ensure work space and safety. And cones are often transported on truck beds.

  By the way, conventionally, a set of road signs is collected and stacked on the truck bedside in a lying state, so it may be impossible for the worker to immediately take out the necessary road signs from the bed, and it may take a lot of effort to remove it. . Furthermore, the vibration applied to the traveling truck may cause the road sign to come into contact with other road signs and the loading platform and be damaged.

  In addition, when installing corn over many kilometers, such as when lane control is performed on an expressway, an operator gets out of the loading platform of a low-speed truck and installs and removes the cone manually. Although this may be done one by one, such a method is very dangerous.

  Therefore, it is conceivable to use a cone installation / removal vehicle in which a device for automatically installing and removing the cone is mounted on a truck. However, in this case, since the loading platform of the cone installation / removal vehicle does not have enough room for loading a set of road signs, as shown in FIG. Separately, a truck 51 for transporting the road sign 1 is required.

  Also, when installing a cone with a cone installation / removal vehicle, if the cone installation / removal vehicle travels forward at a constant speed, the cone can be paid out on the road surface at regular intervals, and its operation is relatively simple. . However, when removing (collecting) the cone on the road surface, it is necessary to make the cone installation / removal vehicle run backward so that the cone is placed in the hand of the cone installation / removal device while checking the position of the cone with the side mirror. The difficulty of operation is high and skill is required.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned matters. The purpose of the present invention is to make it possible to load a plurality of road signs and cones into one unit, to easily take out each road sign and to damage the road sign during transportation. The object is to provide a traffic-regulated vehicle that can prevent the corn and can easily install and remove the cone.

  In order to achieve the above object, a traffic control vehicle according to the present invention includes a holding device that holds a plurality of road signs aligned in the width direction of the vehicle body, and a cone installation / removal device that is used to install and remove the cone. The holding device has a holding unit that holds the plurality of road signs, a state in which the plurality of road signs held by the holding unit take a standing posture at the rear position of the loading platform, and a recumbent posture at the upper position of the loading platform. And a rotating part that rotates the holding part so that it can be changed to a state to be taken.

  In the traffic regulation vehicle, the cone installation / removal device has a loading space for the cone installed and removed by the cone installation / removal device from a rear part to a front part of the cargo bed, and the upper position of the cargo bed is It may be located above the loading space (claim 2).

  Furthermore, the traffic control vehicle has a hand unit imaging means for imaging a vehicle rear region including a movable region of the hand unit of the cone installation / removal device that grips the cone at the time of installation and removal of the cone, A rear imaging means for imaging an area behind the vehicle with respect to an imaging target of the hand imaging means; a display means capable of displaying an image obtained by the hand imaging means and an image obtained by the rear imaging means; (Claim 3).

  In the devices according to claims 1 to 3, it is possible to load a plurality of road signs and cones into one unit, and it is easy to take out each road sign and prevent damage to the road signs during transportation, and installation and removal of the cones. A traffic-restricted vehicle that can be easily operated is also obtained.

  That is, in the traffic regulation vehicle of the invention according to claims 1 to 3, since it is possible to load both the road sign and the corn installation / removal device on the loading platform, the road sign and the corn installation / removal device are separated by a separate truck. Compared to transportation, it is possible to reduce vehicle maintenance costs, fuel costs, and environmental burdens.

  In addition, in the traffic control vehicle of the present invention, the holding device can hold a plurality of road signs in a listable state, so that any road sign can be found immediately, and there are other road signs to be taken out. Since there is no such thing as an underlay of any road sign, any road sign can be easily taken out.

  In addition, if the worker has to load and unload road signs on the side of the traffic-regulated vehicle, it may be at risk from other vehicles traveling beside the traffic-regulated vehicle. In this embodiment, such loading and unloading work can be performed behind the traffic regulation vehicle, and the safety is thus improved.

  In the traffic control vehicle of the invention according to claim 2, the space on the loading platform is effectively utilized, and a plurality of road signs are kept above the loading platform in a state separated from the loading platform and the cone installation and removal device while being separated from each other. Therefore, there is no risk that the road sign will be damaged by vibrations applied to the traffic-regulated vehicle that is running.

  In the traffic control vehicle of the invention according to claim 3, the driver confirms the image displayed on the display means, so that the traffic control vehicle can be safely moved backward while removing the cone disposed on the road surface ( (Recovery) can also be performed smoothly.

It is explanatory drawing which shows roughly the structure of the traffic control vehicle which concerns on one embodiment of this invention. (A) And (B) is the front view and top view which show the structure of the said traffic control vehicle roughly. (A) And (B) is the right view and left view which show the structure of the said traffic control vehicle roughly. It is explanatory drawing which shows roughly the structure of the cone installation removal vehicle and truck currently used conventionally.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a traffic regulation vehicle according to the present embodiment includes a holding device 2 that holds a road sign 1 and a cone installation / removal device that is used to install and remove a cone (rubber cone) 3. 4 is provided in the loading platform 5.

  The holding device 2 holds a plurality (one set) of road signs 1 so as to be separated from each other in the width direction of the vehicle body by the holding part 6, and the holding part 6 holds the upper end of each road sign 1. Part 6a, lower end holding part 6b for holding the lower end, and intermediate holding part 6c for holding the intermediate part of pipe-shaped main shaft part 1a (see FIG. 2A) of the road sign (FIG. 2B) reference). A locking metal fitting (not shown) is detachably attached to the intermediate holding part 6c, and the road sign 1 from the holding part 6 is reliably prevented from falling in the attached state. In addition, the holding | maintenance part 6 of this example is comprised so that the maximum 16 road signs 1 can be hold | maintained.

  Further, the holding device 2 is held so that the plurality of road signs 1 held by the holding unit 6 can be changed between a state in which the road sign 1 takes a standing posture at the loading platform rear position P1 and a state in which a lying posture is taken at the loading platform upper position P2. A rotating part 7 for rotating the part 6 is provided (see FIG. 2A). In addition, for the drive of this rotation part 7, suitable means, such as a drive motor and a hydraulic cylinder, are employable, for example.

  Thus, in this embodiment, since the set of road signs 1 can be held in a listable state by the holding unit 6, any road sign 1 can be found immediately, and the road sign 1 to be taken out can be found. Since there is no such thing as an underlay of another road sign 1, any road sign 1 can be easily taken out.

  Furthermore, if the worker has to load and unload the road sign 1 on the side of the traffic-restricted vehicle, the vehicle may be exposed to danger by another vehicle that runs beside the traffic-restricted vehicle. However, in the present embodiment, such loading and unloading work can be performed behind the traffic regulation vehicle, and the safety is thus improved. Further, when loading the road sign 1, it is not necessary to lift the heavy road sign 1 above the loading platform 5, and the burden on the operator is reduced accordingly.

  The cone installation / removal device 4 has a loading space for the cone 3 installed and removed by the cone installation / removal device 4 from the rear part to the front part of the loading platform 5, as shown in FIGS. The loading platform upper position P2 is located above the loading space.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, since the plurality of road signs 1 are held apart from the loading platform 5 and the cone installation / removal device 4 while being separated from each other, the road sign 1 is caused by vibration applied to the traffic-regulating vehicle that is running. There is no risk of damage.

  The cone installation / removal device 4 has a hand portion 8 that moves while gripping the cone 3 when the cone 3 is installed and removed. As such a cone installation / removal device 4, a device having a known configuration can be used. For example, a road sign installation / recovery device described in JP-A-5-65709 can be used.

  At the rear part of the loading platform 5, a hand unit imaging unit (not shown) whose imaging target is a vehicle rear region including the movable region of the hand unit 8, and a region behind the vehicle with respect to the imaging target of the hand unit imaging unit And a rear image pickup means (not shown) for picking up images, and a monitor or the like capable of displaying a zoom image obtained by the hand image pickup means and a normal image obtained by the rear image pickup means in the driver's seat Display means (not shown) are provided. This display means is configured to be able to switch between a normal image and a zoom image by a one-touch operation.

  Therefore, the driver of the traffic regulation vehicle can smoothly remove (recover) the cone 3 disposed on the road surface while switching the traffic displayed on the road surface safely by switching the image displayed on the display means as appropriate. Can be done.

  Further, the display means (not shown) such as a second monitor in the driver's seat includes the state of the holding device 2 (whether the holding unit 6 is at the loading platform rear position P1 or the loading platform upper position P2), the cone A screen showing the state of the installation / removal device 4 (stopped state, whether the cone 3 is installed (dispensed) or removed (collected)), the speed of the traffic regulation vehicle, etc. is displayed in a switchable manner. .

  Therefore, the driver can drive the traffic-restricting vehicle while checking the state of the holding device 2, the state of the cone installation / removal device 4, and the vehicle speed by the second display means. It is necessary to keep the holding unit 6 of the holding device 2 lifted to the loading platform upper position P2 when installing or removing, but immediately detect an abnormality such as that and stop the traffic-regulated vehicle that is running Or it is possible to easily confirm whether or not traveling at a certain speed or less required when the cone 3 is installed and removed. The second display means may be provided with a function of notifying the absence of the cone 3 or an abnormality such as overspeed by color or voice.

  In the traffic regulation vehicle of this embodiment, the road sign 1 can be lifted above the cone installation / removal device 4, so that both the road sign 1 and the cone installation / removal device 4 can be loaded on the loading platform 5. Therefore, compared with the case where the road sign 1 and the cone installation / removal device are transported by different trucks, the maintenance cost of the vehicle, the fuel cost and the environmental load can be reduced.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be variously modified and implemented without departing from the gist of the present invention.
