A tilting type canopy including connecting members 6 and 7 for mounting the frame 1 so as to be tiltable around the lower ends of the legs when required.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a tilting canopy, and more particularly to a tilting canopy that protects operators such as vehicle construction machines, industrial vehicles, and agricultural machines from sunlight and rainfall.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a canopy of a construction machine such as a power shovel is a fixed type in which a roof 14 is fixed to an upper end of a frame 13 as shown in Fig. 5, and a lower end of a frame 13 is usually attached to a vehicle body 4 behind a driver's seat 3. It is fixed by a bolt (not shown).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 With such a fixed canopy structure, when transporting the body of a power shovel or the like by truck, it is necessary to remove the canopy and package it separately or use a low-floor truck with high freight due to height restrictions. There is a problem that transportation costs increase. In addition, the height of the canopy roof should be as high as possible in order to secure the operator's upward visibility, but it is desirable that it be lower in the work area where there are obstacles above, such as orchards and landscaping. Further, if the roof is high, there is a drawback that the operator and the instrument panel located in front of the driver's seat are easily wet with rain. The present invention aims to solve such problems.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To achieve the above object, a tilting canopy according to the present invention comprises a bracket 5 mounted on a vehicle body 4, a frame 1 tiltably attached to the bracket 5, and a roof 2 mounted on the frame 1. In a tilting canopy consisting of: a bracket 5 disposed only behind the driver's seat 3 of the vehicle body 4 and substantially in the center of the vehicle body 4, a roof portion and a rear portion of the vehicle body 4 with respect to the roof portion. The frame 1 is composed of a leg portion that is bent downward and is integrally connected, and the lower end portion of the leg portion of the frame 1 is fixed to the bracket 5, and when necessary, the frame 1 is rotated around the lower end portion of the leg portion. It is characterized by comprising connecting members 6 and 7 which are mounted so as to be tiltable.

[0005]

[Action]

 The tilting type canopy having the above-described structure operates as follows. If the lower ends of the legs of the frame 1 are fixed to the bracket 5 by the connecting members 6, they can be used as a canopy during normal operation. Also, if necessary, loosen the connecting members 6 and 7 that fix the lower end of the leg of the frame 1 and the bracket 5 and tilt the frame 1 around the lower end of the leg to the front and lower sides of the vehicle body 4. For example, the height of the roof 2 can be lowered without removing the tilting canopy from the vehicle body 4, which is more advantageous when passing an obstacle above the vehicle body 4 and the roof 2 can be moved forward. -Because it tilts downward, it is possible to protect the instrument panel etc. located in front of the operator from rain.

[0006]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. 1 to 4 relate to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a front view of a canopy portion, and FIG. 2 is a side view thereof. The frame 1, which is made of pipe and also serves as a support, is composed of a roof portion and a leg portion which is bent and bent downward toward the roof portion of the vehicle body 4 and is integrally connected to the roof portion. The roof 2 is bolted to the seat. A pair of opposing plates 1a attached to the lower portion of the frame 1 sandwich a bracket 5 arranged on a vehicle body 4 behind the driver's seat 3 and penetrate the plate 1a and the bracket 5 in a normal working state. It is fixed to the bracket 5 by two bolts 6 and a nut 7.

In such a structure, when the upper side of the two bolts 6 and nuts 7 for fixing the canopy to the bracket 5 is removed and the lower nut 7 is loosened, the frame 1 and the roof 2 are shown in phantom lines in FIG. Tilt forward and downward as indicated by. On the other hand, a receiving seat 8 is attached to the lower surface of the front end portion of the roof 2, and when the roof 2 falls forward and downward, the concave portion of the receiving seat 8 is seated on the guard 9 of the vehicle body 4 which also serves as a supporting point. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the two hooks 10 provided at the positions facing each other around the recess of the receiving seat 8 have a ring-shaped elastic body 11 as shown in FIG. A perforated plate-like elastic body 12 such as) holds the guard 9 and is locked.

[0008]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, in the machine equipped with the canopy of the present invention, the height of the roof 2 can be lowered without removing the canopy from the vehicle body 4 even when transporting by truck in an area having a height restriction. Since there is no need to remove the canopy and a general-purpose truck can be used to transport the canopy mounting machine, the transportation cost can be reduced. Further, when the canopy is tilted forward and downward of the vehicle body 4, the front edge of the roof 2 is lowered, which is more advantageous when passing through a place having an obstacle above, and the roof 2 is forward and downward. Since it moves downward, the instrument panel etc. arranged in front of the operator can be protected from rain.
