Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] A. Industrial applications This invention protects the sides of large transportation vehicles and prevents accidents from getting caught in the wheels. This invention relates to a protective cover for protecting the side of a car.

B. Summary of the idea The present invention provides a cover member to cover the side surface of a transportation vehicle. The cover member can be moved up and down to prevent accidents from getting caught in the wheels from the side of the car. It is something.

C. Conventional technology Large transportation vehicles have large wheels and are high in height, and there is a gap between the front and rear wheels. Because the opening is wide open, for example, people or cars may come in from the side while the car is running. If they do come into contact with each other, they may get caught in the rear wheels and go under the vehicle, causing an accident. There was a problem.

Therefore, in a truck E as shown in FIG. 6(a) and a dump truck F as shown in FIG. 6(b), a pipe made of pipe has been conventionally installed between the front wheel _T1 and the rear wheel _T2 on the side of the vehicle. Providing guards 50, 51, etc. is practiced.

D. The problem that the idea aims to solve However, the conventional pipe guard 50 as shown in FIGS. 6(a) and (b) above , 51, etc., consisting of one or two pipes mounted at a large distance apart. In Do 50 and 51, it is the opposite of hitting people and bicycles that hit this pipe. There were many cases where they were involved.

In particular, the cards 50 and 51 cannot be mounted at a position sufficiently close to the road surface, and the distance _h0 between the lower end of the guard and the road surface is wide open. This is because when driving on a rough road with a heavy load loaded, the guards 50 and 51 may hit the ground and damage the underside of the vehicle depending on the bounce while driving, or even the driver may take the steering wheel and the vehicle may not function properly. This is because there is a risk that you will not be able to drive. Therefore, in the conventional cards 50 and 51, the lower end of the guard opens wide as described above, making it easy for people, bicycles, etc. who hit the lower part of the card to get caught in the lower surface of the vehicle.

In this case, the above-mentioned guards 50 and 51 have sufficient safety as side covers for large vehicles. It cannot be said that sex is guaranteed.

Therefore, this invention covers the side of the car with a cover, and the cover can be moved up and down. By making it flexible, objects that hit the side of the car will not get caught in the rear wheels. It has a sufficient function as a car side protection cover, and protects the car. The aim is to ensure safe driving.

E. Means to solve problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has been developed to cover the side surface of a transportation vehicle. A cover member is provided, and this cover member can be moved up and down.

F. action This invention covers the sides of the transportation vehicle, so it does not get caught in the rear wheels from the side. It is possible to reliably prevent accidents. Additionally, the above cover can be moved up and down. Therefore, the position of the protective cover must be determined by considering various conditions such as road conditions and loading capacity. can be determined.

G. Example Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, as a first example, we will introduce a full-cover type vehicle side that completely covers the side of the vehicle. The face protection cover will be explained.

Figure 1(a) shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a large truck-type transportation vehicle A. FIG. 1(b) is a diagram showing an example of use in a dump truck type vehicle B.

The present invention is a side protection cover 1 for the truck A and dump truck B mentioned above. Ru.

This side protection cover 1 is constructed by connecting multiple pipes P made of iron, stainless steel, etc. This cover part 2 is connected and supported to the side of the vehicle so that it can move up and down. It consists of a connecting support part 3. Note that this cover part 2 is formed by connecting pipes P. It is not limited to the case in which it is made, and it may be formed from a plate or a square body made of stainless steel, etc. .

The cover section 2 has a length extending from the front section _N1 to the rear section _N2 of the cargo platform N on the side of the vehicle, and is designed to cover the side surface.

The connection support part 3 is composed of a connection pipe P1 arranged in a direction perpendicular to the pipe P constituting the cover part ₂ , and is provided at least at both ends of the pipe P constituting the cover part 2. I support 2. In addition, in this embodiment, it is also provided approximately at the center of the pipe P. The upper end side of the connection support part 3 is connected and supported by a protective cover drive part 4 provided on the side of the vehicle corresponding to the connection support part 3.

This protective cover drive section 4 is mounted on the connection support section 3 as shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b). A support body 5 formed protruding from the side of the vehicle at the side part is guided so as to be movable up and down. A guide rail section 7 that supports the support body 5, an actuator 8 that drives the support body 5 up and down, and Consisting of This actuator 8 guides the support 5 using hydraulic or pneumatic pressure. It is made to move up and down within the rail section 7. In addition, the protective cover drive unit 4 The vertical movement drive mechanism is not limited to this example, and can easily move the cover part 2 upward. It may be of any type as long as it can be moved downward, and may be manually moved up and down.

Next, as a second embodiment, a half-cover type automobile side protection cover 6 that covers the front sides _N1 to _N3 of the side of the automobile will be described.

Figure 3(a) shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a large truck-type transportation vehicle C. 3(b) is a diagram showing an example of use in a dump truck type vehicle D.

In this second embodiment, the cover section 2 is partially attached below the cargo platform N on the side of the vehicle. In this case, by covering the front portion of the rear wheel _T2 , foreign matter is reliably prevented from getting caught in the rear wheel _T2 . Note that the protective cover drive unit 4 may be the same as that in the first embodiment.

As described above, by covering the side of the vehicle with the protective covers 1 and 6 according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably prevent a foreign object from getting caught in the rear wheel _T2 when it hits the side of the vehicle.

In other words, when the load is small and the speed is most likely to be increased, as shown in Fig. 4 (a), for example, the air in the pneumatic actuator is removed and the cover part 2 is lowered to the lowest end to reduce the distance h to the road surface. By driving with a smaller value of ₁ , it is possible to reliably prevent foreign objects from getting caught in the rear wheel _T2 from the side of the vehicle, thereby ensuring the safest driving.

In addition, when the load is large, as shown in Figure 4(b), air is gradually introduced into the pneumatic actuator to raise the cover part 2 to the intermediate position _h2 depending on how the vehicle height is lowered. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the lower end of the cover portion 2 from interfering with running. Note that even when the load is large, it is considered that there is not much danger in driving on roads with well-maintained surfaces, such as expressways, even if the cover portion 2 is set at the lower end.

On the other hand, when driving on a rough road in a workplace or the like, if the air is completely injected into the pneumatic actuator to raise the cover part 2 to the upper end and maintain the distance _h3 from the road surface, this cover part 2 This can prevent the vehicle from interfering with driving while driving on rough roads. In this case, the side of the car is exposed, so there is some danger from foreign objects entering from the side, but the road is rough and the driver should be careful and drive slowly. This is a case where it is advantageous to stop in order to guarantee safe and reliable operation.

In addition, in case the automobile side protection covers 1 and 6 according to the present invention are raised, , if the conventional guards 50 and 51 are provided on the inside, some protection can be achieved. It will be done.

In addition, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2(a), the protective cover drive section 4, which is a means for lifting and lowering the cover section 2, is attached to the side of the vehicle loading platform, but the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it may be attached to the lower part of the loading platform or to a conventional guard as long as it does not interfere with the rotation of the wheels T. If the protective cover driving section 4 is installed at this location, the loading platform side plate _N4 forming the loading platform side surface can be opened and closed as shown by the broken line in FIG.

In this way, in the present invention, the cover part 2 can be moved up and down. Therefore, the position of the protective cover should be determined by considering various conditions such as the quality of the road and the load capacity. Therefore, the cover part 2 does not interfere with driving, and the vehicle can be reliably driven. It is possible to protect the side of the vehicle.

H. Effect of invention As mentioned above, according to the present invention, since the side surface of the vehicle is covered, the side surface of the vehicle is covered. It is possible to reliably prevent an accident in which the front wheel gets caught in the rear wheel.

In addition, in this invention, the cover part is movable up and down, so it can be easily moved on the road. The position of the protective cover can be determined taking into consideration various conditions such as condition and loading capacity. .

Therefore, when the car is running, it can be raised to the lowest position where it does not interfere with the movement of the car. The protective cover can be lowered and the vehicle can be used under the safest driving conditions. It can protect the lower part of the face.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the driving safety of large transportation vehicles. You can aim for the top.
