Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a truck storage box structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional truck storage box structure, for example, there is one as shown in FIG.

To explain this, a storage box 31 for storing tools and the like is provided below a loading platform 32 of a truck.
A side member 33 extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle is connected via a bracket 34.

By arranging the storage box 31 in a space below the cargo bed 32 of the truck, the vehicle space can be effectively utilized.

As for the mounting structure of the storage box, there is one disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-54325.

[0006]

However, in such a conventional truck storage box structure, the storage box 1 is used.
Is connected to the side member 33, the mounting position of the storage box 31 is lowered and the side portion 35 of the vehicle is
Away from the inside of the storage box 31 and the operator is forced to bend down when putting things in or out of the storage box 31,
The problem is that work efficiency is poor.

In view of the above problems, the present invention has an object to provide a storage box structure for a truck in which articles can be easily taken in and out.

[0008]

The invention according to claim 1 is
In a storage box structure of a truck that includes a plurality of horizontal joists that support a cargo bed and extends in the lateral direction, and has a storage box below the cargo bed, the storage boxes are arranged between adjacent lateral joists.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a truck storage box structure.
In the invention according to claim 1, a floor frame arranged around the floor plate of the cargo bed is provided, and the front plate of the storage box is overlapped with the floor frame.

A storage box structure for a truck according to claim 3 is
In the invention according to claim 1 or 2, a joint flange for the lateral joist is formed on an upper portion of the side plate of the storage box.

[0011]

In the truck storage box structure according to claim 1, since the storage boxes are arranged between the adjacent lateral joists, the work can be carried out when the articles are put in or taken out from the storage box without lowering the mounting position of the storage box. A person can insert his or her hand into the storage box by slightly bending the upper body without being forced to bend down, which improves work efficiency.

A storage box structure for a truck according to claim 2 is
By overlapping the front plate of the storage box with the floor frame, the opening of the storage box can be arranged directly below the floor frame of the luggage carrier, and the height of the opening of the storage box can be maximized. In addition, it is possible to secure the maximum depth of the storage box.

A storage box structure for a truck according to claim 3 is
By forming the joint flange for the lateral joist on the side plate of the storage box, it is possible to use the lower surface of the floor plate of the cargo box as the ceiling portion of the storage box and reduce the number of parts. Further, the length of the storage box in the vehicle front-rear direction can be maximized between the adjacent lateral joists.

[0014]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a storage box 1 for storing tools and the like is provided below a cargo bed 2 of a truck, and is arranged between adjacent lateral joists 5. In the figure, 6 is a floor plate of the loading platform 2, 7
Is a floor frame (floor rail).

As shown in FIG. 2, the left and right side members 3 provided in the ladder frame of the vehicle extend in the front-rear direction, and the left and right vertical joists 4 are provided in parallel with the side members 3 on the upper side of each side member 3. A plurality of horizontal joists 5 that extend in the lateral direction of the vehicle orthogonal to the vertical joists 4 are provided above the respective vertical joists 4.
Is provided, and the truck bed 2 is provided above the horizontal joist 5. The lateral joists 5 are provided at predetermined intervals in the front-rear direction of the vehicle and support the luggage carrier 2.

As shown in FIG. 3, the storage box 1 is formed in a box shape having an upper opening. That is, the storage box 1 has a quadrangular bottom plate 11, a front plate 12 standing upward from the bottom plate 11, a back plate 13, and front and rear side plates 14.

A joint flange 15 for the lateral joist 5 is formed on the upper portion of each side plate 14. The joint flanges 15 are bent orthogonally and joined to the lower surface of the lateral joist 5.

Around the storage box 1, four bolts 8 penetrating the lateral joist 5 are provided. The joint flange 15 of the storage box 1 is formed with a mounting hole 17 through which each bolt 7 penetrates. The storage box 1 is fastened to the lateral joists 5 via nuts 9 screwed onto the bolts 8.

In this manner, with the storage box 1 connected to the horizontal joist 5, the upper end of the back plate 13 is joined to the lower surface of the floor plate 6 of the luggage carrier 2, and the upper part of the front plate 12 is the floor frame 7 of the luggage carrier 2. And a closed space is defined inside the storage box 1.

The front plate 12 of the storage box 1 is provided with an opening 19 and a lid 20 for opening and closing the opening 19. The lower end of the lid 20 is rotatably connected to the front plate 12.

With the above construction, the operation will be described.

Since the storage boxes 1 are arranged between the adjacent lateral joists 5, the mounting position of the storage boxes 1 does not become low,
Moreover, the opening 19 of the storage box 1 is arranged immediately below the floor frame 7 of the luggage carrier 2. As a result, when putting an article in or out of the storage box 31, the worker can insert his or her hand into the storage box 1 by slightly bending the upper body without being forced to bend down and the work efficiency can be improved. Is improved.

Due to the structure in which the upper part of the front plate 12 overlaps the floor frame 7 of the luggage carrier 2, the opening of the accommodation box 1 is arranged directly below the floor frame 7 of the luggage carrier 2 and the opening 19 of the accommodation box 1 is arranged. The height of can be maximized.

By the structure in which the upper end of the back plate 13 is joined to the lower surface of the floor plate 6 of the luggage carrier 2, and the joining flange 15 formed on the upper portion of the side plate 14 is joined to the lateral joist 5, the floor plate 6 of the luggage carrier 2 is joined.
It is possible to use the lower surface of the above as the ceiling part of the storage box 1 and reduce the number of parts.

Further, the storage box 1 has a structure in which the joint flange 15 formed on the upper portion of the side plate 14 is joined to the lateral joist 5.
The width in the vehicle front-rear direction can be secured to the maximum between the adjacent lateral joists 5.

By stacking the front plate 12 of the storage box 1 on the floor frame 7 of the luggage carrier 2, it is possible to maximize the depth of the storage box 1 regulated by the side members 3. .

Next, in another embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the storage box 21 is formed into a closed box shape having a ceiling plate 26. It should be noted that the same reference numerals are used for the portions corresponding to those in FIGS. 1 and 2.

The four L-shaped joint flanges 25 are formed separately, and each joint flange 25 is joined to the front and rear side plates 24 of the storage box 21 by welding or the like. Each joint flange 25 is fastened to the lateral joist 5 through a bolt and a nut passing through the joint flange 25.

In this case, the hermeticity of the storage box 21 can be improved by forming the storage box 21 into a closed box shape in advance.
