Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a battery cover for an electric vehicle such as a battery type forklift truck.

Conventionally, batteries installed in this type of vehicle are housed in a case with a battery cover that can be opened and closed upwards, but as vehicles become larger, battery capacity increases, and the batteries themselves become larger.
As a result, the battery cover became large and difficult to open and close, and since the cover could not be opened completely from above the battery, it was difficult to inspect the battery.

This idea was made with the purpose of eliminating such drawbacks, and the battery cover was divided into multiple parts, each part was hinged, and the battery cover was electrically operated so that it could be opened and closed by sliding the slider provided on the open end side. To provide a battery cover for a vehicle so that the cover can be easily opened and closed.

This invention will be described in detail below with reference to an illustrated embodiment. In the figure, 1 indicates a battery case provided in an electric vehicle (not shown), and 2 indicates a battery housed in the case 1. The battery case 1 has an opening 1a on the upper surface, and a guide rail 8 is provided along the longitudinal direction of the battery case 1 at the edge of the opening.
is formed, and one end side of the guide rail 8 is sloped low. Reference numeral 3 denotes a battery cover main body, which is formed in a size that can cover the opening 1a of the battery case 1, and includes members 3a and 3 from approximately the center.
It is divided into two parts b. Each member 3a, 3b is hinged by a hinge 4, and one end side of one member 3a is hinged by a hinge 5 to the frame 1b on the opposite side to the inclined portion 8a of the guide rail 8. Further, a handle 6 for opening and closing is provided on the upper surface of the member 3a, and a slider 7 such as a round bar or a roller is provided on the open end side of the member 3b to slide against the guide rail 8 when the cover body 3 is opened and closed. is installed.

Since this invention has been described in detail above, when opening the cover body 3 for inspection of the battery 2, etc., it is sufficient to grasp the handle 6 and lift it in the direction of the arrow a shown in FIG. Each member 3
Each member 3a and 3b is bent into a dogleg shape from the hinge 4 between a and 3b, and the slider 7 provided on the open end side of the member 3b slides on the guide rail 8 and is drawn toward the hinge 5. Therefore, the cover body 3 can be opened and closed with less force than the conventional method in which the entire cover body 3 is pulled up. In addition, the opened cover body 3 is folded as shown in the imaginary line b in FIG. You will be able to do this.
