That is, the work vehicle has a power supply unit on which a generator, a compressor, and an air tank are fixed on a pallet, and a tire changing work unit on which a tire changing device and a wheel balancer are fixed on a pallet. The structure was such that it was mounted on the flat loading surface of a general-purpose vehicle.

Utility model registration No. 3208113

The work vehicle described in Patent Document 1 is popular because it can be mounted on a general-purpose vehicle, drive over a wide area, and quickly perform tasks such as changing tires on the vehicle.
However, after that, the inventor realized that the following problem remained.
In other words, if a power supply unit removed from a vehicle is installed on the work (fixed) floor of a vehicle maintenance shop or tire repair shop and used on the ground, (i) the noise is too loud and the work environment (ii) Machines such as generators and air compressors are exposed in full view due to exposure to wind and rain outdoors, causing discomfort and physical injury to visitors. There is also a danger.

Therefore, the present invention stores a generator, an air compressor, an air tank, and an air dryer inside a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped housing having a ceiling wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, a left wall, and a right wall. It can be selectively installed on either a fixed loading surface or a movable vehicle loading platform; A shutter that opens and closes vertically is provided on the left side wall of the casing; A single door is provided on the other right wall of the body; the control box that controls the generator, air compressor, air tank, and air dryer housed inside the housing is guided vertically by the shutter. It is arranged near one of the left and right edges of the guided shutter opening/closing opening.

In addition, a generator, an air compressor, an air tank, and an air dryer are housed inside a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped housing having a ceiling wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, a left wall, and a right wall. The front wall surface faces the front of the vehicle when installed on the vehicle loading surface; and the left side wall surface is provided with a shutter that can be opened and closed vertically and faces the left side of the vehicle; the control box that controls the generator, air compressor, air tank, and air dryer housed inside the housing is located behind the shutter. is arranged near one of the left and right edges of the shutter opening/closing opening that is vertically guided.

According to the present invention, if it is installed on a fixed mounting surface, it can be used in a vehicle maintenance shop, a tire repair shop, etc. When a vehicle failure or the like occurs, the casing can be easily and quickly mounted on the floor of the vehicle platform and moved to the vehicle failure site. Electricity, compressed air, etc. (power) can then be supplied to a tire changing device or the like.
Furthermore, when used in the vehicle maintenance shop, tire repair shop, etc., noise is low (because it is surrounded by a housing), and a good working environment can be maintained. Additionally, the casing protects the device even in heavy wind and rain, extending the lifespan of the internal machinery. In addition, since the generator, air compressor, air dryer, etc. are enclosed in a housing, they are less likely to cause discomfort to visitors, eliminate the risk of injury, and are highly safe, providing a sense of security. .

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, when the housing 10 is installed (mounted) on the vehicle loading platform floor Pv, the front wall surface 3 faces toward the front F of the vehicle. Moreover, the front wall surface 3 of the housing 10 is made to correspond to the vicinity of the back surface (rear surface) 21B of the cab 21 on which the driver rides. In other words, the front wall surface 3 faces forward F of the vehicle.

The left side wall surface 5 is provided with a shutter 15 that can be opened and closed vertically (as shown in FIG. 2(A)). It is installed on the loading platform floor Pv.
In the embodiment of FIG. 1, a vehicle 25 including a box-shaped van body 22 is illustrated. The front wall surface 3 of the casing 10 is brought close to the front panel (front wall portion) 22A of the van body 22, and the casing 10 is mounted thereon.

Although not shown, a side door is provided on the side panel of the van body 22 so that it can be opened and closed. When this side door is opened, the entire left wall surface 5 (shutter 15 thereof) of the housing 10 shown in FIG. 2 is exposed to the left side of the vehicle.
Moreover, it is desirable that the outer surface of the shutter 15 on the left side wall surface 5 of the housing 10 be arranged inside the outer surface of the side panel of the van body 22 of the vehicle 25 by a minute dimension.

Alternatively, the configuration may be as follows. That is, a window portion approximately equivalent to the vertical height and width dimensions of the left side wall surface 5 of the housing 10 shown in FIGS. ) The shutter 15 is always exposed in substantially the same vertical plane as the outer surface of the side panel of the van body 22 by forming a notch and placing the left side wall surface 5 close to or fitted into the window.
A control box 26 for controlling the generator 7, air compressor 8, air tank 9, and air dryer 11 housed inside the housing 10 has a shutter opening/closing opening 14 through which the shutter 15 is vertically guided. (See FIG. 2(B)).

The power supply casing structure Y according to the present invention can be installed by selecting between the movable vehicle loading platform floor Pv shown in FIG. 1 and the fixed installation surface Pf as shown in FIG. .
It is desirable that the fixed mounting surface Pf be a flat surface, but in some cases, as illustrated in FIGS. The row receiving portion may be formed by protruding from the ground or floor.

Note that the fork insertion recess 28 into which the fork of the forklift is inserted is formed using two parallel channel members as illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 5, or a square pipe or an I-shaped member (not shown). There is.
As shown in FIG. 7, the power supply housing structure Y of the present invention can be installed on a fixed mounting surface Pf other than a movable vehicle loading platform floor Pv at a vehicle repair shop, a tire shop, a tire shop, This is a work surface 20 at a repair shop, vehicle dealership, or event venue.

In FIG. 1, a tire changing device 36 and a wheel balancer 37 are placed on a platform floor Pv via a pallet 40 as a tire changing unit 32. Note that the pallet 40 is formed with a fork insertion recess 42 into which a fork of a forklift can be inserted. Then, power such as compressed air or electricity is supplied from the power supply casing structure Y. As shown in FIG. 7, tire changing units 32 such as a tire changing device 36 and a wheel balancer 37 are also installed in vehicle maintenance shops, tire stores, tire repair and replacement shops, and the like. If desired, the tire replacement work unit 32 installed at a maintenance shop or the like in FIG. 7 can be mounted on a vehicle 25 as shown in FIG. 1 and quickly moved to the site of a tire failure.

In addition, in FIG. 1 (although the plan view is omitted), the tire changing unit 32 has a tire changing device 36 and a wheel balancer 37 separated on the left and right sides of the pallet 40 in consideration of the left and right weight balance. It is arranged as follows. That is, the tire changing unit 32 has its entire center of gravity located near the center of gravity of the pallet 40. The tire changing device 36 and the wheel balancer 37 are fixed to the upper surface of the pallet 40 with bolts. A walk-through space is provided between the tire changing device 36 and the wheel balancer 37 for a worker to pass through when changing the tire, and a slippery space is provided on the top surface of the pallet 40 to prevent the worker from slipping. A working tread surface is provided with a stopper treatment.

Desirably, the power supply casing structure Y and the tire changing unit 32 can be mounted on the platform floor Pv of the general-purpose vehicle 25 without using any fixed parts. A wooden spacer member is provided to prevent the power supply housing structure Y and the tire changing unit 32 from shifting in the left and right direction. The spacer member is in contact with the side surface of the power supply housing structure Y and the tire changing unit 32, and is interposed between the power supply housing structure Y and the tire changing unit 32 (not shown). .
Note that the power supply housing structure Y has a relatively large height dimension, so the power supply housing structure Y is placed closer to the front of the loading platform floor Pv, and the tire changing unit 32 is placed closer to the rear of the loading platform floor Pv. It is preferable to arrange the

The design of the present invention can be changed; for example, the wheel balancer 37 may be omitted from the tire changing unit 32, and only the tire changing device 36 may be fixed to the upper surface of the pallet 40. In this case, the tire changing device 36 is disposed at a central position above the center of gravity of the pallet 40, taking into account the left and right weight balance of the tire changing unit 32.

Although the vehicle 25 having the van body 22 is shown as an example in FIG. 1, it is also possible to use a vehicle without the van body 22. That is, in the present invention, since the casing 10 of the power supply casing structure Y covers (encloses) the internal machinery, it is also possible to create a vehicle without the van body 22. In particular, the internal machinery is surrounded by the casing 10, so it can withstand even slight wind and rain and can be used satisfactorily.

From the vehicle mounted state shown in FIG. 1, only the power supply housing structure Y or this housing structure Y and the tire changing unit 32 are lowered to the ground and placed on a fixed mounting surface as shown in FIG. It can be installed in Pf etc. and used at vehicle maintenance shops, vehicle dealers, etc. In this way, there is an advantage that usage (operation) efficiency can be improved.
In particular, since the generator 7, air compressor 8, air tank 9, air dryer 11, etc. are housed inside the casing 10, it can withstand wind and rain and improves usage (operation) efficiency. It is also equipped with an air dryer 11, which can sufficiently remove moisture from compressed air.

In addition, a shutter 15 that can be opened and closed vertically is provided only on the left side wall 5 of the four surrounding walls, and because it faces the left side of the vehicle, the vehicle 25 can be moved to the left shoulder of the road when performing work. This allows you to avoid getting in the way of other passing vehicles. The shutter 15 does not require any space when opening or closing, and can be said to be suitable for work on the road.
Furthermore, if the doors 16, 18, 18, 19, and 19 provided on the other three sides are closed during work, noise can be significantly reduced. Note that the shutter 15 may be closed or opened during work, depending on the situation.

As described above, the present invention includes: a generator 7 inside a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped housing 10 having a ceiling wall 1, a bottom wall 2, a front wall 3, a rear wall 4, a left wall 5, and a right wall 6; It houses an air compressor 8, an air tank 9, and an air dryer 11; it can be selectively installed on a fixed mounting surface Pf or a movable vehicle loading surface Pv, so it is free from wind, rain, wind, snow, etc. It can be used even under bad weather conditions. In addition, since it can be installed on the floor surface Pv of a vehicle's loading platform and the fixed mounting surface Pf of a vehicle store, etc., it is possible to quickly respond to situations such as locations where tire repair or replacement is required. For example, the vehicle 25 is normally operated at a vehicle dealership or a vehicle maintenance factory, and in the event of an emergency such as a vehicle breakdown occurring on the road, the vehicle 25 can be run to the scene of the breakdown to quickly respond to the problem. In addition to the generator 7, air compressor 8, air tank 9, and air dryer 11, there is also an air filling machine 23 (computer-controlled) inside the housing 10, as shown in FIG. 2(B). It is also desirable to store the air hose reel 24, etc.

Furthermore, a shutter 15 that opens and closes vertically is provided on the left side wall 5 of the case 10, and a single door 16 is provided on the other right side wall 6 of the case 10. A shutter 15 is provided on the left wall surface 5 so that it can be opened and closed vertically, so that it does not take up extra space (horizontally outward) like the doors 16, 18, and 19. Therefore, when a tire blowout or breakdown occurs on the road, the vehicle can be moved to the left side of the road and tasks such as tire replacement can be quickly performed. Moreover, it does not obstruct the passage of other vehicles. Further, the single-swing door 16 on the right side wall surface 6 facilitates maintenance of internal equipment, and the door 16 has excellent soundproofing properties.

Further, since double doors 18 and 19 are provided on the front wall surface 3 and rear wall surface 4, maintenance of the equipment inside the housing 10 is easy from the front and rear. Furthermore, by closing these doors 18 and 19, the noise from internal equipment can be significantly reduced.

Further, a support frame 12 is attached that divides the inside of the housing 10 into an upper stage U and a lower stage D; the generator 7 and the air compressor 8 are housed in the lower stage D of the support frame 12. ;The air tank 9 and the air dryer 11 were stored in the upper U of the support frame 12, so the ones stored in the lower part were heavy, and the ones stored in the upper part were lightweight, so the size of the housing 10 was reduced. It has high stability and can prevent the vehicle 25 from falling over while driving.

In addition, when the front wall surface 3 is installed on the floor Pv of the vehicle, the front wall surface 3 faces the front F of the vehicle; the left wall surface 5 is provided with a shutter 15 that can be opened and closed vertically, and the shutter 15 faces the left side of the vehicle. Therefore, when a tire blowout or breakdown occurs on the road, the vehicle can be moved to the left or right side of the road and tasks such as tire replacement can be easily and quickly performed. Moreover, it does not obstruct the passage of other vehicles.

Further, a control box 26 that controls the generator 7, air compressor 8, air tank 9, and air dryer 11 housed inside the housing 10 is connected to the shutter opening 14 through which the shutter 15 is vertically guided. Since it is disposed near one of the left and right edges 14L and 14R, the operator can control each device most easily and accurately. In particular, the operator can centrally control the generator 7, air compressor 8, air tank 9, and air dryer 11 housed inside the housing 10 by inserting his hand through the shutter opening 14. It can be done easily. Furthermore, it is also desirable to arrange the air filling machine 23, air hose reel 24, etc. near the shutter opening 14 so that it can be easily reached by the operator.

Further, the above-mentioned fixed mounting surface Pf is a working floor surface 20 in a vehicle maintenance shop, tire shop, tire repair shop, vehicle shop, or event venue, and the power supply casing structure Y of the present invention is It can be installed at a wide variety of work sites (during normal times), and when a vehicle breakdown occurs on the road, it can be moved by being placed on the floor Pv of the vehicle's loading platform. In this way, they can be used together.
