Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a structure of a radiator grill in a cab-over type vehicle such as a so-called one-box car.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in a cab-over type vehicle B in which an engine is arranged in a lower part of a driver's cab such as a one-box car or a small bus, as shown in FIG. 4, a radiator reservoir tank (hereinafter also simply referred to as a tank) 1 is also used. It is generally installed under the cab.

Therefore, when injecting water or inspecting the tank 1, open the engine service cover (part of the floor panel) 20 that shields the engine room, or in the case of a one-box car, the seat cushion part of the seat in the passenger compartment. After opening the engine room by removing, etc., the worker went into the passenger compartment.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, since the cab is small, workability is poor and
Water injection and inspection work on the tank were painful.

In addition, when pouring water, floor carpets and the like in the driver's cabin were often soiled.

The present invention proposes a structure of a radiator grille that solves the above-mentioned conventional problems and that can easily perform water injection and inspection work on a tank and can perform water injection work without polluting the vehicle interior.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention divides a radiator grill to form a main grill portion and a split grill portion, and supports the split grill to the main grill in an openable and closable manner. The radiator tank for the radiator is removably attached to the engine room through appropriate mounting means so that the reservoir tank can be taken out of the vehicle and stored in a predetermined position in the engine room when the split grill is opened and closed. It depends on the structure of the grill.

[Action]

According to the present invention, the split grill portion is opened at the time of water injection and inspection work of the tank, and the tank mounted inside the split grill is pulled out to the outside of the vehicle body to perform the same work outside the vehicle. When not working, the split grill is closed and the tank acts to be stored at a predetermined position in the engine room.

〔Example〕

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 shows a front portion of a cab-over type vehicle B, such as a one-box car or a truck, to which a radiator grill A according to the present invention is attached.

 Further, FIG. 2 shows a detailed view of a portion II of FIG.

The radiator grill A is divided into a main grill 7 and a split grill 2.

As shown in FIG. 3, the split grill 2 is divided within a range in which an opening 10 through which the reservoir tank 1 of the radiator can be drawn out is formed, and a biasing spring rotatably outwardly of the vehicle B (see FIG. The main grill 7 side is openably and closably supported by a hinge member 4 having an interior (not shown).

A lock member 6 capable of closing the split grill 2 is provided on the side opposite to the support side (left side in the drawing).

The lock member 6 includes a locking claw 12 attached to the split grill 2 side and a main body 14 attached to the vehicle body panel side (for example, the headlamp cover 8).
Has a lock piece 14a that can be engaged with and disengaged from the locking pawl 12, and the lock piece 14a is spring-biased toward the lock side and resists the spring-biased force from the driver seat side through the connecting wire 9. It is configured to be unlockable.

Further, at the lower end of the split grill 2, a plate-shaped mounting base 5 extending inside the vehicle B (engine side) is formed. A radiator reservoir tank 1 is mounted on the mount 5.

The reservoir tank 1 is mounted on a mounting plate 5 and is removably mounted on the engine room side of the split grill 2 by mounting means such as a mounting band 15.

Further, the reservoir tank 1 is connected to the radiator by pipe connection 3 in order to replenish the cooling water in the radiator (not shown).

With the above configuration, the split grill 2 is supported so as to be openable and closable, the state is held by the lock member 6 when the split grill 2 is closed, and when the lock is released, the split grill 2 is opened by the spring biasing force of the hinge member 4, Accordingly, the tank 1 is taken out of the vehicle from a predetermined position in the engine room.

Therefore, the split grill 2 is closed at all times (when the water is not poured into the tank 1 and the inspection work is not performed), and the tank 1 is stored at a predetermined position in the engine room. During the above work, the lock is released from the driver's seat side and the split grill 2 2 is opened, and accordingly, the tank 1 attached to this split grill 2
Can be taken out of the vehicle B to perform water injection and inspection work.

After the work is completed, the operator closes the split grill 2 against the spring biasing force of the hinge member 4 and locks the locking claw 12 to the lock piece 14a against the spring biasing force of the lock member 6. When locked, the tank 1 is stored and held at a predetermined position in the engine room.

The mounting means of the tank 1 is not limited to the one described above, and the tank 1 may be mounted only by the mounting band 15 without being placed on the mounting base 5, and further by the mounting band 15
Not limited to this, it may be attached by attaching a mounting screw or a predetermined hook to the tank 1 and hooking it.

[Effect of device]

According to the present invention, with the above configuration, the radiator reservoir tank can be taken out of the vehicle, and the operator can perform water injection and inspection work on the tank outside the vehicle. For this reason, the same work can be performed easily, and the interior of the vehicle will not be contaminated when water is injected as in the conventional case.
