Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an automobile repair shop system that enables effective use of space in a workshop.

Conventionally, in the workshop of an automobile repair shop, a lift for lifting cars is fixed to the floor, and a box containing work tools, etc. is placed on the floor near the lift, and a worker lifts it with the lift. Generally, workers work on a damaged car by taking out tools from a nearby box. However, in this conventional workshop, lifts and the like are installed and fixed at predetermined positions, making it inconvenient to use for purposes other than servicing automobiles.

The present invention eliminates these inconveniences and makes it possible to utilize the space as effectively as possible by allowing the workshop to be used for other purposes other than automobile maintenance, such as an exhibition hall, in situations where land is difficult to secure, such as in Japan. The object of the present invention is to provide an automobile repair shop system as described above, and its characteristics include, in a workshop having a face wall, a rail extending forward from the face wall is provided on the floor or ceiling of the workshop; A vehicle body lift device and a work platform containing work tools, etc., are movably provided on these rails, and when not in use, these lift devices and work platforms are stored close to the surface wall, and the lift device and work platform are installed directly in front of the lift device and work platform. A shielding material was placed over the area, and most of the workshop was turned into an exhibition space.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1
is a workshop, 2 is a front wall or rear wall of the workshop, grooves extending forward from the rear wall 2 are formed on the floor 1a of the workshop 1, and rails 3...3 are laid in these grooves, and Rails 4...4 were installed near the ceiling of 1, extending forward from the rear wall 2 and directly above the rails 3...3, respectively. Reference numeral 5 indicates a gate-type lift device, and the lift device 5 has wheels that engage with the rails 3, 3 pivotally attached to the lower ends of both side supports 5a, 5a, and these supports 5a, 5a.
Guide pieces 5b, 5b that engage with the rails 4, 4 are protrudingly provided at the upper end of a.

Reference numeral 6 indicates a workbench, and the workbench 6 consists of a stand 6a for storing maintenance tools and a head 6b fixed to the upper end of a column erected thereon. A lubrication gun, an air chuck, etc. are suspended from the base portion 6a, and a wheel that engages with the rail 3 is pivotally mounted on the lower surface of the base portion 6a, and a guide piece 6 that engages with the rail 4 is attached to the upper surface of the head portion 6b.
c was installed protrudingly. Reference numeral 7 indicates a parts washing stand installed with its back surface in contact with the rear wall 2, and 5c...5c indicate vehicle body supporting arms that move up and down along the pillars 5a, 5a of the lift device 5.

Thus, when performing actual maintenance on automobiles in the workshop 1, the gate-type lift device 5 is used as shown in the first figure.
Then, the workbench 6 is moved to the center of the workspace 1, the car is lifted by the lift device 5, necessary tools and the like are taken out from the workbench 6, and predetermined maintenance work is performed.
In addition, when the workshop 1 is used for purposes other than automobile maintenance, for example as an exhibition hall, the gate-type lift device 5 is moved as shown in the second figure, and the rear wall 2 is stacked on the outside of the peripheral side of the parts washing table 7. Further, the workbench 6 is also moved to be brought closer to the rear wall 2 at a side position of the peripheral surface of the parts washing table 7. If a shielding member such as a curtain or a screen is placed just in front of the lift device 5 and workbench 6 near the rear wall 2, most of the workspace 1 will become a display area for automobiles and the like.

In the above embodiment, the rails were provided on the floor and above and below near the ceiling, but the rails may be provided only on the floor and the lift device and workbench may be moved on the rails. It may be constructed near the ceiling, and the lift device and workbench may be suspended and moved from the rail.

As described above, according to the present invention, rails are provided on the floor or ceiling of the workshop and extend forward from the face wall, and a lift device and a workbench are movably provided on these rails, and a shielding member is installed just in front of the lift device and the workbench. Because of this structure, the lift equipment and workbench can be easily stored close to the wall when not working on car maintenance, making most of the work area a large space with no standing structures, and the shielding member A beautiful space is created, and the workshop can be used for exhibitions and other various events, which has the effect of making effective use of the space.
