Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a mounting structure for a mud flap that is attached to the rear side of a front tire of a so-called tilted cabin vehicle that tilts the cabin forward.

Conventionally, when installing a mud flap on a tail-cabin car, the upper end of the mud flap was fixed to the rear end of the cabin with bolts, or the sides of the mud flap were fixed to the vehicle frame with bolts, etc. However, with these mounting structures, when inspecting or servicing the engine with the cabin tilted, the mat flap attached to the bottom of the cabin hits the worker's head, causing metal plates, etc. It is particularly dangerous and has poor workability when it is shaped like

In addition, the latter also had a mud flap on the side of the frame of the car body, making it difficult for workers to access the engine and having to climb onto the frame to work, making the work extremely difficult.

Incidentally, conventionally, there has been known a mud flap in which the upper end is rotatably and replaceably attached to a vehicle body side fixing member.

(Refer to Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 47-6531.) In this conventional structure, since the mud flap rotates in the front-rear direction when the vehicle is running, there is a concern that it may come into contact with the wheels and generate noise.

This idea was made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology, and the upper end of the mud flap is attached at a variable angle at the lower part of the rear end on both sides of the cabin, and the upper end of the mud flap is mounted below the mounting part of the mud flap and in front of the mud flap. By connecting the rear frame from the center of the tail with a connecting member and tilting the mud flap below the floor of the cab during the tail, the workability during the tail is improved.

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described in detail based on FIGS. 1 to 3.

Reference numeral 1 designates a frame of the vehicle body. A cabin 3 is attached to the front end of the frame 1 via a hinge member 2 so as to be tiltable forward, and a front tire 4 is attached to the rear side of the cabin 3 at the lower rear end of the cabin 3. The upper end of the positioned mud flap 5 is attached to the hinge member 6 so as to be able to change its angle.

This mud flap 5 is formed of a steel plate 5a on the upper side and an elastic material 5b such as rubber or synthetic resin on the lower side, and is bent and fixed with bolts 7 to form a substantially doglegged shape. ing.

On the other hand, a pin 9 is provided on the frame 1 side of the bent portion 8 of the mud flap 5, and one end 10a of a rod-shaped link member 10 is pivotally attached to the pin 9.

The other end 10b of this link member 10 is attached to a pin 11 protruding from the outer side surface of the frame 1 at a position forward of the mud flap 5 and rearward of the tail center (hinge member 2) of the cabin 3. It is pivoted.

The mud flap 5 installed as described above hangs down behind the front tires 4 when the vehicle is running, and prevents mud, muddy water, etc. thrown up by the front tires 4 from scattering rearward. ing.

On the other hand, when the cabin 3 is tilted to inspect or maintain the engine, the mud flap 5 is lifted upward as the cabin 3 is tilted forward by the hinge member 2, as shown in FIG. .

Further, since the bent portion 8' of the mud flap 5 and the frame 1 are connected by the link member 10, the mud flap 5 moves around the cabin 3 around the hinge member 6 in conjunction with the cabin 3 being lifted upward. It is rotated and moved below the floor 3a of the engine, so that it does not get in the way of workers during engine inspection, maintenance, etc.

As described above, the present invention mounts the upper end of the mud flap at a variable angle at the lower rear end of the cabin, and connects the frame below the mounting part of the mud flap and in front of the mud flap and behind the center of the tail. This is because they are connected by a connecting member and the mud flap is tilted below the floor of the cabin when tilted.
This has the excellent effect of improving work efficiency, since the mud flap no longer obstructs the operator during inspection and maintenance of the engine during tail I.
