Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle for carrying a small vehicle, a medium-sized vehicle, a motorcycle such as a motorcycle or a bicycle, a wheelchair including an electric motor.

  Although transporting a small vehicle or the like via a large vehicle is a routine practice, the biggest problem at this time is loading and unloading a large vehicle such as a small vehicle.

  A common practice in this work is to bridge the ladder rail between the ground and the loading platform, but it takes a lot of alignment and work, and there are problems with the transportation of the rail itself, and safety There were inconveniences such as remaining questions and taking time.

  When a wheelchair is mounted, a lift that moves horizontally up and down may be arranged at the rear end of the loading platform. However, there is a drawback in that the equipment cost is high and there is a risk.

  Various proposals for solving the above-described problems have been made as follows.

JP 2000-189173 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 20007-216753 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 20009-154561

  The invention “Patent Vehicle” of Patent Document 1 has a configuration in which a rear step board is pivotally supported at the rear end of the loading platform so that the vehicle can be raised and lowered. When the vehicle is loaded and unloaded, the rear step board is tilted and installed. Although it is easy to get on board and is stood up when not in use, there are problems such as extremely complicated structure, high equipment cost, and difficult operation.

In addition, the invention “Paper Loading Device” of Patent Document 2 is a configuration in which a movable loading platform on which a small vehicle or the like is mounted in a grounded state is moved up and down to the loading platform via a slope, which increases the complexity of the structure and the equipment cost. There are problems such as being dangerous and uneasy to operate, and the same as the invention of Patent Document 1.

Further, the invention “Patent bed part and transport vehicle having the same load bed part” of Patent Document 3 has the same drawback as described above in that the load bed part on which a small vehicle or the like is mounted is slid to the chassis of the transport vehicle. is there.

Therefore, the present invention is a vehicle transport vehicle developed to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, inconveniences and dissatisfactions of the above-mentioned prior art, and can be loaded and unloaded on a large vehicle such as a small vehicle safely and easily in a short time. The purpose is to be able to.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the vehicle transport vehicle according to the present invention pivotally attaches an elevating plate to the rear end of the loading platform in a direction that is substantially horizontal with the loading platform through an elastic material. In addition, an auxiliary tongue piece is suspended from the rear end of the elevating plate described above via a hinge.

In the above-described present invention, the lifting plate pivotally attached to the rear end of the loading platform normally maintains a rising posture that is substantially horizontal with the loading platform by the urging of the elastic material, and via the hinge at the rear end of the lifting plate. The auxiliary tongue piece hangs down so as to be dragged, and is almost in contact with the road surface.

Therefore, for example, when a small vehicle is moved forward from the rear with the transport vehicle stopped, the small vehicle first easily rides on an auxiliary tongue piece whose lower end is substantially in contact with the road surface, and the lifting plate is made of an elastic material. Against the bias, it is pulled down by the auxiliary tongue and tilts downward.

Therefore, a small vehicle that continues to travel forward can ride on the lifting plate from the auxiliary tongue piece, and can further be mounted on the loading platform as it is. If the small vehicle is completely mounted on the loading platform, the elastic material As the lift plate returns to its almost horizontal position by the urging force, the transport vehicle can safely transport the small vehicle if the small vehicle and the load platform are completely fixed by a car retaining or the like. .

  In order to lower the small vehicle on the loading platform, if the small vehicle is retracted and retracted to the lifting plate, the lifting plate is inclined downward against the bias of the elastic material by the weight of the small vehicle, and the auxiliary tongue piece is attached. After that, it reaches the road surface.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, there is no need for any mechanical operation work or equipment for loading and unloading of a small vehicle on the loading platform, and it can be achieved safely and smoothly, taking less time and effort, and reducing the equipment cost. There are many excellent effects such as being able to be suppressed.

1 is an overall perspective view showing an example of a vehicle carrying vehicle according to the present invention. 1 is a schematic front view of a place where a small vehicle is to be mounted. 1 is a schematic front view of a roller on which a small vehicle is mounted. It is the schematic of the principal part which shows the horizontal attitude | position of a raising / lowering plate. It is the schematic of the principal part which shows the downward inclination attitude | position of a raising / lowering plate.

  A vehicle carrying vehicle 1 of the present invention is connected to a tow vehicle 2 with a load carrier 3 of a vehicle having a relatively low vehicle height, and a lift plate 4 is pivotally attached to the rear end of the load carrier 3. The auxiliary tongue piece 5 is suspended.

The elevating plate 4 is lifted by being urged with respect to the loading platform 3 through a resilient material 6 in a direction substantially horizontal with the loading platform 3, and the auxiliary tongue 5 has a hinge 7 at the rear end of the lifting plate 4. It hangs down so as to be dragged through, and is almost in contact with the road surface.

  The towing vehicle 2 may have any form such as a normal cargo truck, a frontal part of a trailer, or a normal passenger car. In the illustrated embodiment, the towing vehicle 2 is a box-type truck, and the rear door 8 can be opened with a double door. .

  Although the loading platform 3 has a general structure in which a floor plate is assembled to a chassis, in view of safety during transportation of the small vehicle A, a fender or a roof may be further assembled into a box shape.

  The platform 3 and the lift plate 4 are pivotally connected by, for example, a shaft 9, and a coil spring-like elastic material 6 is wound around the shaft 9, one end thereof being the lower surface of the load platform 3, and the other end being the lift plate 4. A stopper (not shown) is arranged so that the elevating plate 4 is placed in a substantially horizontal posture with the loading platform 3 to the upper limit.

A small-diameter auxiliary wheel 10 is provided on the lower surface of the rear end portion of the steel plate elevating plate 4. The auxiliary wheel 10 is configured so that the rear end of the lifting plate 4 collides with the road surface when the lifting plate 4 descends against the urging force of the elastic material 6 due to vibration or the like when the vehicle 1 is traveling. This is to prevent the elevator plate 4 from being damaged, and to support the weight of the small vehicle A when it is moved up and down.

The auxiliary tongue piece 5 is formed of, for example, thick rubber or synthetic resin, so that the weight of the auxiliary tongue 5 hangs down to the level of the road surface by its own weight, and the road surface is not damaged even if it is dragged on the road surface when the vehicle 1 is traveling. In addition, the small vehicle A is elastically deformed when the small vehicle A is moved up and down, so that the small vehicle A can smoothly ride up.

A vehicle carrying vehicle 1 of the present invention carries a small vehicle, a medium-sized vehicle, a motorcycle such as a motorcycle or a bicycle, a wheelchair including an electric vehicle, etc., and the towing vehicle 2 is a box-type carrying cargo and a rear door. It would be possible to provide a place for exchanging cargo with the small vehicle A mounted rearward by opening 8.
