Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a radiator shutter operating device.

Conventionally, for example, in an automobile radiator, a radiator shutter is attached to the front of the radiator in order to prevent the cooling water from becoming supercooled in cold weather, thereby reducing heating performance and engine life.

An example of the operation of putting in and taking out the shutter curtain is shown in FIG.

Attach the curtain winder 3 to the front of the heat tank 2 of the radiator 1, and then install the shutter curtain 4.
A rope member (wire in this case) 5 attached to the edge of the lower tank 6 is pulled out by an appropriate amount, and then the wire 5 is wrapped around a hook 7 attached to the lower front surface of the lower tank 6 and hung there.

However, as shown in FIG. 2, for example, in a cab-over type automobile, due to the arrangement of the radiator, it is necessary to go outside the driver's cab 8 in order to operate the shutter curtain 4 using the wire 5.
Furthermore, even if the operation inside the driver's cab 8 is possible by another means, it is troublesome to have to go outside the driver's cab 8 in order to check how far the shutter curtain 4 is pulled out. and shutter curtain 4
Radiator shutters were not used effectively because the relationship with the amount of drawer was not clearly defined.

The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems.The purpose of this invention is to enable the operation of putting in and taking out the shutter curtain using a rope member in the driver's cabin, and to make it possible to operate the shutter curtain by the amount of drawout of the shutter curtain corresponding to the outside temperature. The object of the present invention is to improve the operability of the radiator shutter by attaching a sign indicating the radiator shutter, and to provide a radiator shutter operating device with a simple structure that can be used effectively.

Embodiments will be described below based on the drawings. In FIGS. 2 to 4, the same or equivalent parts as in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, for example, in a cab-over type automobile, the radiator 1 is disposed below the floor panel 9 of the driver's cab 8 and in front of the engine 10.

The curtain winder 3 of the radiator shutter is disposed in front of the top tank 2 of the radiator 1, and is always urged to roll up the shutter curtain 4 by means not shown, so that the shutter curtain 4 is not pulled down. A wire 5, which is a cable member, is attached to the side edge.

As shown in detail in FIGS. 3 and 4, the wire 5 extends half a circle around a pulley 11 provided at the lower front of the lower tank 6, faces upward, and connects to a guide 12 extending forward from the upper surface of the upper tank 2. It is adapted to be hung on a hook 14 through a ring portion 13 located at the upper front of the curtain winder 3.

A sign 15 is attached to the wire 5 at a fixed position (for example, at the intersection with the ring portion 13 of the hook) indicating the appropriate amount of drawout of the shutter curtain corresponding to the outside temperature during steady operation of the automobile. A ring 16 is attached to the end of the wire 5 for hanging the wire 5 on the hook 14 when the amount of the shutter curtain is zero.

The above-mentioned sign may be colored, for example, in red at 5°C, orange at 0°C, blue at -5°C, etc.
Alternatively, other methods may be used.

On the other hand, the wire 5 is connected to the floor panel 9 facing the hook 14 by operating the wire 5 from inside the driver's cab 8.
An inspection port 17 is provided for checking the sign 15, and a removable inspection lid 18 is attached to the inspection port 17.

With this structure, when the driver uses the radiator shutter at a certain outside temperature, he does not have to go outside the driver's cab 8, but connects the wire 5 from the inspection port 17 to the radiator shutter according to the outside temperature. pulling the marker 15 to the fixed position;
It is only necessary to wrap the end of the wire 5 around the hook 14 and hang it there. When the radiator shutter is stopped from being used, the wire 5 is loosened, and the shutter curtain 4 is rolled up by the urging force of the curtain winding device 3 in the winding direction.

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to operate the shutter curtain in and out from the driver's cab using the cable member, and the cable member is provided with a sign indicating the amount of the shutter curtain to be pulled out according to the outside temperature. This has the effect of improving the operability of the radiator shutter and making it more effective to use.
