Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a lid device for an oil reservoir tank.

Conventionally, a reservoir tank for brake oil is installed in the empty space behind the instrument panel in the interior of a car, especially a truck. It is set at the end of the seat side. When refueling, this was done by opening and closing a lid provided on the instrument panel corresponding to the reservoir tank. However, since an air blowing grill that communicates with a duct from an air conditioner or ventilator that improves the so-called air conditioning performance in the truck cabin was installed separately from the lid on the instrument panel near the lid, the lid and The size of the air blowing grill is limited, and as a result, there are disadvantages in that it becomes difficult to refuel the reservoir tank or that the ventilation area of the air blowing grill is insufficient.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional device, and includes an oil reservoir tank and a duct for conducting hot or cold air or outside air in the space on the back of the instrument panel. In the instrument panel, the lid is provided with a lid that can be opened and closed when refueling, and the lid is provided with an air blowing grill that can communicate with the duct, and when the lid is closed, the grille is The gist of the invention is a lid device for an oil reservoir tank, which communicates with a duct, but is configured such that when the lid is opened, the grill moves in conjunction with the lid so that it can separate from the duct and supply oil to the oil reservoir tank. It is something. The present invention will be explained based on an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. 1 is an instrument panel (hereinafter referred to as the panel) in the interior of a truck; 2 is a speedometer provided at the end of the panel on the driver's seat side; 3 is a duct arranged in a space on the back of the panel and connected to a ventilation mechanism or air conditioner (not shown), 4 is a reservoir tank, and 5 is axially installed on the panel 1 near the reservoir tank 4 via a hinge 6. It's a lid. Reference numeral 7 indicates an air blowing grill (hereinafter referred to as grill) provided on the lid 5, 8 indicates a first fin axially installed in the grill duct 7, which is a constituent member of the grill 7, and 9 indicates an air blowing grill provided at the rear of the first fin 8. The second fin 9 is provided on a shaft, and the direction of the second fin 9 can be changed by means of an operating lever 10. Reference numeral 11 denotes a gasket provided at the open end of the duct 3, which comes into contact with the grill duct 7' when the lid 5 is in the closed state as shown by the solid line in FIG. It is formed to communicate. In addition,
Reference numeral 12 denotes a locking mechanism known per se that is used when opening and closing the lid 5.

Since this embodiment has the above configuration, when oil is not being supplied, the lid 5 can be closed as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, and the air in the duct 3 can be discharged from the grille 7 into the passenger compartment. When refueling, the lid 5 and the grill 7 can be moved to the state shown by the two-dot chain line. Therefore, oil can be replenished into the reservoir tank 4.

According to this embodiment, it is possible to smoothly refuel the reservoir tank 4, and when not refueling, air can be discharged into the vehicle interior from the grille 7 provided on the lid 5, which has an effect.

In the above embodiment, the lid 5 is rotatable by the hinge 6, but a structure in which the lid 5 having the grille 7 can be removed is also possible.
