Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a radiator reserve tank, and more particularly to a radiator reserve tank attached to the cab of a cab-over type automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Prior Art Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 56-169223 discloses a radiator reserve tank attached to the cab of a cab-over type automobile. Conventional radiator reserve tanks are designed to be mounted on the cab of a cab-over type automobile even if the cab is in a horizontal position, and are designed assuming that the radiator reserve tank is mounted in a horizontal position. Level lines etc. have been decided. Therefore, the level line is set horizontally when the cab is horizontal, and the water injection port is optimal for water injection work when the cab is horizontal.
The direction and position are set.

[0003]

However, when a conventional radiator reserve tank is installed in a cab in a car to be cablated (for example, a truck), when the cab is level, the state shown in FIG. Is inclined as shown in FIG. 9, and the level lines 1 and 2 do not match the water level (arrow B). Further, the water injection port 4 also tilts, and the water injection workability when water is injected in the cavitated state is deteriorated. In order to deal with these problems, the conventional design of the reserve tank away from the cab causes the following problems. In other words, the radiator reserve tank will be installed far away from the radiator, the piping will be long, the mounting space will be greatly restricted, and the support bracket will have a complicated shape, resulting in high cost. . An object of the present invention is to provide a radiator reserve tank in which even if a radiator reserve tank is attached to a cab, the water level can be compared with the level line even when water is poured in a cavitated state, and the water filling workability is also improved.

[0004]

The radiator reserve tank of the present invention which achieves the above object comprises the following: (1) Radiator reserve tank installed in the cab of a cab-over type automobile with the level line tilted by the cab angle so that it is horizontal in the cabin state. (2) Radiator reserve tank installed in the cab of a cab-over type automobile with the water injection port tilted at the cab tilt angle so that it is facing straight up in the cab litter state. (3) Radiator reserve tank installed in the cab of a cab-over type automobile, which is provided with both a level line that is tilted by the cab tilt angle so that it is horizontal in the cab and a level line that is horizontal in the cab. (4) Radiator reserve tank attached to the cab of a cab-over type automobile, which has a tank shape such that the water injection port is at the highest position in the cavitated state.

[0005]

In the above (1) and (3), since the level line is tilted by the tilt angle, when water is poured into the radiator reserve tank with the cab tilted, the water level and the level line become parallel, It is possible to compare and confirm with the water level line. Therefore, the water injection work becomes easy. In the above (2), since the water injection port is tilted by the tilt angle, the water injection port faces right above while the cab is tilted, which facilitates the water injection work. In the above (4), since the water injection port is located at the highest position of the tank in the cavitating state, air cannot be accumulated in the tank when pouring water during the cavitating.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention. 2 and 4 show a cab-over type automobile (truck) having a tilt type cab 16,
2 shows the cab 16 in a horizontal state, and FIG. 4 shows the cab 16 in a tilted state. Cab 1
6, the radiator reserve tank 13 has a radiator reserve tank 13 as shown in FIG. 1 when the cab 16 is horizontal.
Is also mounted so that it is horizontal. Therefore, when the cab 16 is tilted, the radiator reserve tank 13 is also tilted as shown in FIG.

The radiator reserve tank 13 is made of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin container so that the level of water in it can be seen, and the side lines of the radiator reserve tank 13 are printed with or molded with level lines 11 and 12 (the level line 11 is FUL.
L and level lines 12 are LOW. The level lines 11 and 12 are, as shown in FIG.
It is formed by tilting from the horizontal by a tilt angle of 6 so that when the cab 16 is tilted by the designed tilt angle and the radiator reserve tank 13 is tilted from the horizontal, it is just horizontal as shown in FIG. is there.

The operation of the first embodiment is that the level line 11,
Since 12 is tilted, when the cab 16 is tilted and water is poured into the radiator reserve tank 13, the water level (B in FIG. 3) and the level lines 11 and 12 become parallel, and the water level can be confirmed. . A in FIG. 1 is a cab 1.
6 shows the water level when leveled, and intersects level lines 11 and 12 at an angle, but by not performing water injection and water level confirmation when the cab is horizontal, no problem occurs.

1 to 4 also show a second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the water injection port 14 is provided in the radiator reserve tank 13 so as to be tilted by a cavitating angle so as to face upward in the cavitating state. Therefore, when the cab 16 is horizontal,
As shown in FIG. 1, the water injection port 14 is tilted from the vertical state by a tilt angle. The operation of the second embodiment is that the water injection is performed with the cab 16 tilted, and the water is injected from the water injection port 14 facing upward, so that the water injection operation is facilitated.

FIG. 5, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7 are respectively the third embodiment of the present invention.
An example is shown. In the third embodiment, a radiator reserve tank 13 attached to a tilt type cab 16 of a cab-over type automobile is provided with a level line 11, which is tilted by a cabultant angle so as to be horizontal in a cabultant state.
12 (according to that of the first embodiment) and level lines 11 'and 12' (level line 11 'corresponds to FULL and level line 12' corresponds to LOW) that are horizontal in the cab horizontal state are provided. ing. Figure 5 shows Level Line 1
1 and 12 and level lines 11 'and 12' are bent and connected at the ends, and FIG. 6 shows level line 1
1 and 12 and the level lines 11 'and 12' intersect, and FIG. 7 shows the level lines 11 and 12 and the level lines 11 'and 12' separated from each other. The operation of the third embodiment can easily compare the water level with the level lines 11, 12, 11 ', 12' regardless of whether the cab 16 is in the horizontal state or in the tilted state, and facilitates the water injection work. Obtained in the state.

1 to 4 also show a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIG.
Is provided at the highest position 15 of the radiator reserve tank 13 (hereinafter, also referred to as a high place of the tank) in a cavitated state. The operation of the fourth embodiment is that when the cab 16 is tilted and water is poured into the radiator reserve tank 13, air cannot be collected in the high place 15 of the tank from the water injection port 14. This can prevent air from entering the engine cooling water system.

[0012]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the level line is set to be horizontal in the cavitated state, the water level can be confirmed even in the cavitated state. According to the second aspect, since the water injection port is set to face right above in the cavitated state, the water pouring work in the cavitated state becomes easy. According to the third aspect, since two kinds of level lines are set, that is, a level line that is horizontal in the cavitated state and a level line that is horizontal in the cab horizontal state, it is possible to confirm the water level in all states. According to the fourth aspect, since the water injection port is provided at the position which is high in the tilted state, it is possible to prevent the generation of the air pool.
