Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a cover device for a charger mounted on the vehicle body of a battery-powered vehicle such as a battery-powered forklift.

[Conventional technology]

In the case of a battery type vehicle such as a battery type forklift, a battery charger is mounted on the vehicle body along with the battery so that the battery can be easily charged.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a bracket 4 is provided on a vertical frame 3 that forms a storage chamber 2 for a battery 1, a charger 5 is attached to this bracket 4, a cover 6 is attached to the bracket 4, and a charger 5 is attached.
The lower portion of the hinge 8 of the bonnet 7 in the hood 7 covers the diode 9, for example, to prevent water that has entered through the hinge 8 from scattering onto the diode 9 of the charger 5.

In other words, when charging the battery, harmful gas is generated from the battery 1 and heat is also generated from the charger 5, so the bonnet 7 is opened to release the harmful gas and heat from the charger 5 to the atmosphere. A hinge 8 of the bonnet 7 is located above the charger 5, and a cover 6 is provided to prevent rainwater from entering through the hinge 8 and scattering onto the charger 5 when the bonnet 7 is closed.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In such a cover device for a charger, the cover 6 always covers a part of the charger 5, which impairs the heat dissipation of the heat generated by the diode 9 etc. during charging, and also reduces the space for installing the cover 6. Must be installed on the vehicle body side.

Therefore, this invention is a battery-type vehicle that can prevent rainwater from splashing on the charger, smoothly dissipate the heat generated by the charger, and does not require space for a cover on the vehicle body side. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a charger cover device.

[Means and actions for solving problems]

A cover made of a flexible material is attached to the hinge of the bonnet in such a way that when the bonnet is closed, it maintains watertightness between the top of the charger and the vehicle body, and when the bonnet is opened, the top of the charger is opened. This can sometimes prevent rainwater that has entered through the hinge from splashing onto the charger, and when charging with the bonnet open, the top of the charger can be opened to dissipate heat generated from the charger, and the cover can be placed on the side of the vehicle. This eliminates the need to install it on the

〔Example〕

A charger 14 is installed via a bracket 13 on a vertical frame 12 constituting a storage chamber 11 for storing a battery 10, and a counterweight 15 constituting a vehicle body is provided at the rear of the charger 14.

A bonnet 16 is attached to the upper part of the counterweight 15 with a hinge 17 so that it can be opened and closed in the vertical direction so that the upper part of the storage chamber 11 and the charger 14 can be opened and closed. A mounting piece 18 is fixed to the mounting piece 18, and a cover 19 made of a flexible material such as a rubber plate is fixed to the mounting piece 18 with a fastener 20. When the bonnet 16 is closed, the cover 19 is attached to the side surface 15a of the counterweight 15. the top of the charger 14 in contact with,
For example, it is possible to maintain watertightness between the diode 21 and the vehicle body, such as the counterweight 15, to prevent rainwater that has entered through the hinge 17 from scattering onto the charger 14, and also to prevent rainwater from splashing onto the charger 14, as shown in FIG.
When the cover 19 is rotated upward and opened, the cover 19 moves upward together with the bonnet 16, so that the heat generated by the charger 14, particularly the heat generated by the diode 21, can be smoothly dissipated.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, if the mounting piece 18 is attached to the bonnet 16 via a plurality of connecting pieces 22 and a gap 23 is formed between the mounting piece 18 and the bonnet 16, the mounting piece 18 can be attached as shown in FIG. bonnet 16
The heat generated by the charger 14 when it is opened is radiated more smoothly through the gap 23.

[Effect of the invention]

When the bonnet 16 is closed, the cover 19 seals between the top of the charger 14 and the vehicle body to ensure watertightness. When the charger 14 is opened, the cover 19 moves upward together with the bonnet 16 to open the upper part of the charger 14, allowing the heat generated by the charger 14 to be smoothly dissipated.

Furthermore, since the cover 19 is attached to the bonnet 16, no space is required for attaching the cover to the vehicle body.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A cover 19 made of a flexible material is placed near the hinge 17 of the bonnet 16, which opens and closes the battery 10 and the charger 14 and can move up and down. When the bonnet 16 is closed, it maintains watertightness between the top of the charger 14 and the vehicle body. A battery charger cover device for a battery type vehicle, characterized in that the cover device is attached so as to open the upper part of the charger 14 when opened.
