Description

Lift for repair of vehicle

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle maintenance lift having a pair of left and right boards having a dimension shorter than that between the front and rear tires of a vehicle, and a lifting device that moves the boards up and down.

(Conventional technology)

The vehicle maintenance lift is formed by supporting a pair of left and right drive-on plates on which a vehicle can be lifted by a lifting device composed of an X-type link mechanism and a hydraulic cylinder in a pit made by digging into the ground. The drive-on plate is lifted up by the operation of the elevating device from the lower limit position where the upper surface of the plate coincides with the ground, enabling inspection of the vehicle undercarriage system and oil change.

In addition, the drive-on plate is provided with a board having a shorter dimension than the tires before and after the vehicle, and a free wheel lift composed of an X-type link mechanism and a second lifting device by a hydraulic cylinder, and is mounted on the drive-on plate. It is known to lift up the body of a lost vehicle, freeing the wheels, and performing work such as maintenance of the lower body system.

In the case of such a freewheel type, in a case of a box-shaped body such as a passenger car, a rubber pad can be attached to the lift point to lift up the board, but in a vehicle having a frame structure such as an RV car or a truck, the frame is high. Since the left and right widths are also narrow, a pair of swing arms are provided on the outside of each board so as to be pivotable, and the vehicle can be supported inside the board. However, since the swing arm is pivoted on the upper surface of the board, when the drive-on plate is lowered to the lower limit position, the swing arm protrudes from the upper surface, which hinders the movement of the vehicle and the work. Therefore, the swing arm is detachably provided from the arm bracket outside the board, and when the swing arm is not in use, the swing arm can be detached (see Patent Document 1), or the air cylinder for raising and lowering the swing arm from the outside of the board is provided. The invention which protrudes from the upper surface of a board at the time of use, and lowers so that it may become the same surface as the upper surface of a board at the time of nonuse (refer patent document 2) is employ | adopted.

(Patent Document 2) Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-272891

However, it is cumbersome to install or detach the swing arm one by one every time it is used, and employing the swing arm lifting mechanism increases the price. In addition, even if the swing arm can be attached or detached or lifted, the arm bracket of the swing arm is still needed on the outer side of the board, so that the width of the lift increases and the distance between the operator and the vehicle located outside Bad workability. In addition, it is necessary to widen the pit to accommodate the arm bracket or the swing arm at the lower limit position, thereby increasing the useless construction.

Therefore, the invention described in claims 1 and 3 enables a lift up of a vehicle corresponding to a wide range of vehicles without a swing arm on the outside of the board, and is advantageous in price and workability. It is an object to provide a vehicle maintenance lift.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiment of this invention is described based on drawing.

(Embodiment 1)

First, embodiment corresponding to 1st invention is described. 1 is an overall view showing an example of a vehicle maintenance lift, in which the vehicle maintenance lift 1 includes a pair of bases 2 and a pair of left and right drives located above the bases 2. The on-plate 3 is provided, and the X-type link mechanism 4 is provided between each base 2 and the drive-on plate 3, respectively. Each X-type link mechanism 4 pivotally pivots one end of each link 4a, 4b to the base 2 and the drive-on plate 3, and is provided with a roller at the other end. (5) is slidably connected to the guide rail 6 provided in the base 2 and the drive-on plate 3, the pivoting side end of one link 4a, and the other link 4b. The portion near the rotation center on the pivoting side of is connected to the cylinder 7. Therefore, the X-type link mechanism 4 opens and closes by allowing the left and right cylinders 7 to expand and contract, and the drive-on plate 3 can be raised and lowered in a horizontal position.

In addition, the base 2 is provided in the pit 8 made by digging in the floor F, and each cylinder 7 is so that the upper surface of the drive-on plate 3 may correspond to the floor F in a lower limit position. Controlled. Reference numeral 9 denotes a wheel stop provided at the front and rear ends of each drive-on plate 3 in the longitudinal direction, and is in an inclined position at an elevated position of the drive-on plate 3 and interferes with the tire of the vehicle that has climbed on the drive-on plate 3. When the drive-on plate 3 is at the lower limit position corresponding to the floor F, the drive-on plate 3 is brought into a horizontal position in contact with the floor F, thereby allowing the vehicle to move up and down to the drive-on plate 3.

In the center of each of the drive-on plates 3, free wheel lifts (hereinafter referred to as "small lifts") 10 having a shorter dimension in the longitudinal direction (the direction in which the vehicle rides) than the drive-on plate 3 are provided, respectively. do. Hereinafter, since the left and right small lifts 10 have the same structure, only one side will be described.

Similar to the drive-on plate 3, the small lift 10 includes an X-type link mechanism 11 composed of links 11a and 11b, one of which is rotated at one end and the other at the slide end, and the X-type link mechanism ( 11) and having a board 12 having a dimension shorter than that between the front and rear tires of the vehicle, and a cylinder 13 connecting the links 11a and 11b to each other. The link mechanism 11 is opened and closed to synchronize the board 12 from side to side while maintaining the horizontal position. In addition, at the lower limit position of the board 12, it fits in the opening 14 formed in the center of the drive-on plate 3, and the upper surface of the board 12 is substantially coincident with the upper surface of the drive-on plate 3. .

And the front and rear ends of the long side direction in the board 12 are each equipped with the movable stand 15 which can be taken out and received arbitrarily. The detail of this movable stand 15 is shown in FIG. 2 and FIG.

First, at the end of the board 12, a hollow housing portion 16 is formed in which a short side of the board 12, a part of the inner long side continuous to the short side, and a part of the upper surface continuous to both sides are opened. The movable supporter 15 is accommodated in this accommodating part 16. The movable base 15 is a box-shaped slide body 18 which is axially pivotable by the point pin 17 on the outside of the board 12 and can be pulled out from the storage portion 16 to the extension side of the board 12. And a slide arm 19 that is accommodated in the slide body 18 and that can be pulled out at an arbitrary length. In the upper surface of the slide body 18, the convex surface part 20 which enters the opening of the upper side of the accommodating part 16, and whose upper surface corresponds substantially to the upper surface of the board 12 is formed, and the long side of the slide body 18 is formed. The surface is provided with a perforation 21 to which a finger or the like can be hooked to facilitate the withdrawal and storage of the slide body 18.

Further, the slide arm 19 is a rod-shaped body having a rectangular cross section that is slidably accommodated in the receiving portion 22 formed in parallel with the long side side in the slide body 18, and is stored in the receiving portion 22. In the outermost surface, the outermost surface is roughly coincident with the short side surface of the slide body 18, and a user pulls a finger or the like into the perforation 23 provided on the outermost surface to be able to withdraw to an arbitrary length that is prevented from falling out by a stopper (not shown). It is. Moreover, the wide protrusion 24 is formed in the upper surface of the slide arm 19 along the longitudinal direction of the slide arm 19, and is fitted with the notch 25 formed in the upper surface of the slide body 18, The action of the slide arm 19 withdrawal guide and the stopper at the time of storing is obtained. Reference numeral 26 is a mounting hole formed on the protrusion 24 of the slide arm 19 before and after the long side direction, and the attachment 27 can be attached to the mounting hole 26. In addition, the attachment 27 can be inserted into the mounting hole 26, and can adjust the height by turning in the sleeve 28 which formed the flange in the upper end, and the screw hole in the center, respectively, and the sleeve 28. It is made of a support bracket (29).

When using the vehicle maintenance lift 1 comprised as mentioned above, first, the drive-on plate 3 is floored in the state which lowered the board 12 which accommodated the movable pedestal 15 at both ends to the lower limit position. It lowers to (F), and makes the vehicle get on the predetermined position on the drive-on plate 3. When the drive-on plate 3 is raised to a predetermined height, the inspection of the vehicle lower system, oil change, and the like are possible.

On the other hand, when performing maintenance of the lower body system, etc., the small lift 10 is used. That is, when the drive-on plate 3 is in the lower limit position, or after the drive-on plate 3 is raised to a predetermined height, the board 12 is raised to support and lift up the body of the vehicle. can do. Here, when the vehicle C is a small and medium-sized passenger car of a box-shaped body, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the board 12 including the movable stand 15 is accommodated while the movable stand 15 is accommodated. It is sufficient to set the rubber pads 30 at the lift points of the vehicle on the upper surface of the vehicle, and raise the board 12.

On the other hand, when the vehicle is a large passenger car of a box-shaped body, since the total length of the vehicle is long, as shown in FIG. 5, each slide body 18 is moved from the movable pedestals 15 at each end of each board 12. After drawing out a predetermined angle and protruding to the extension side of the board 12, the rubber pad 30 is set at each lift point of the vehicle on the upper surface of each slide body 18, and when the board 12 is raised, the vehicle ( C) can be lifted up.

In the case where the vehicle is an RV car or a light truck having a frame structure, the frame is located inside the boards 12, and as shown in Figs. 3 and 6, the movable pedestals at both ends of the boards 12 are shown. When the slide body 18 protrudes to the extension side of the board 12 at 15, and the slide arm 19 is withdrawn from each slide body 18 to the side between both boards 12, the slide arm The support bracket 29 of the attachment 27 provided in any one of the mounting holes 26 of (19) can be located in the lift point below the frame 31 of the vehicle C. As shown in FIG. Therefore, when the board 12 is raised in this state, the vehicle can be lifted up.

Thus, according to the vehicle maintenance lift 1 of the said Embodiment 1, even if a swing arm is not provided in the outer side of a board, it is possible to lift up a vehicle corresponding to a wide range of vehicle models. Therefore, there is no problem of detachment work and cost up related to the adoption of the swing arm. Moreover, since the part which protrudes to the outer side of a board by eliminating a swing arm disappears, the width | variety of the whole lift becomes small, and the distance between the operator located in the outer side and a vehicle becomes close, and workability improves. Also, the pit ends in a minimum width.

In particular, in the first embodiment, since the movable pedestal is formed of a slide body and a slide arm accommodated in the slide body, the movable pedestal of the present invention can be formed in a reduced space.

(Embodiment 2)

Next, another embodiment of the first invention will be described. In addition, since the structure other than a movable stand is the same as that of Embodiment 1, the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted and only a structure of a movable stand is mainly demonstrated. This also applies to Embodiments 3 and 4 described later.

FIG. 7 shows a slide 18a in the movable pedestal 15 so as to be slidable with respect to the long side direction of the board 12. In the case of accommodating the storage portion 16, the convex surface portion 20 is formed of a board ( It becomes the same surface as the upper surface of 12), and forms part of the board 12, and it can extend | stretch as much as needed by the stopper which is not shown at the time of taking out. In addition, the slide arm 19 is similarly provided in this slide body 18a, but this structure is the same as the slide arm demonstrated by FIG. 2, FIG.

Thus, also in this Embodiment 2, in the small-sized car, only the slide body 18a of the movable stand 15 is board | board 12 in the large passenger car in the state which accommodated the movable stand 15 like FIG.7 (A). In the state where it protruded to the extension side of (), in the case of RV difference etc., when the slide body 18a and the slide arm 19 were taken out like the figure (B), and used in the state which protruded between the boards 12, respectively, The support bracket 29 of the rubber pad 30 or the attachment 27 can be lifted up at the lift point of the vehicle model.

Therefore, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained in which the detachable work related to the adoption of the swing arm, the problem of price increase, and the improvement of the workability and the pit minimization by the width of the entire lift are reduced. Moreover, the compact structure by employ | adopting a slide body and a slide arm is also the same as that of Embodiment 1.

(Embodiment 3)

Next, embodiments corresponding to the second invention will be described as Embodiments 3 and 4.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the structure in which the slide body 18b of the movable pedestal 15 slides in the long side direction of the board 12 is the same as in FIG. 7, but instead of the slide arm, the auxiliary arm 32 is provided here. It is provided detachably. That is, the slide body 18b is inserted into the mounting sleeve 33 provided near the outer side of the board 12 from the upper surface of the slide body 18b by protruding the pin 34 protruding downward from the base end of the auxiliary arm 32. The auxiliary arm 32 is rotatably mounted to the second arm, and the auxiliary arm 32 is a second arm that can be attached to the first arm 35 from which the pin 34 protrudes, and the attachment 27 can be attached to the tip. It has a telescopic structure in which the arm 36 is slidably inserted. On the other hand, the upper surface of the board 12 is provided with a notch 37 into which the mounting sleeve 33 can enter at the time of storing the slide body 18b, and the auxiliary arm 32 is also received when the slide body 18b is accommodated. I enable wearing.

Thus, also in this Embodiment 3, in the small-sized passenger car, the slide body 18b of the movable stand 15 is boarded in the board | substrate in the state which accommodated the slide body 18b of the movable stand 15 in the board 12. In the state which protruded to the extension side of (12), in the RV car etc., when the slide body 18b is taken out, the auxiliary arm 32 is attached, and it is used in the state which protruded to the side between both boards 12, respectively, The support pad 29 of the rubber pad 30 or the attachment 27 can be lifted up at the lift point. Therefore, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained in which the problem of cost up related to the adoption of the swing arm on the outside of the board is solved, and the workability is improved and the pit is minimized by the width of the entire lift being reduced.

(Embodiment 4)

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, although the slide body 18b and the detachable auxiliary arm 38 used in the movable pedestal 15 are the same as those in FIG. 8, the mounting position of the auxiliary arm 38 (mounting sleeve ( Position) is set near the inside of the board 12. Therefore, the auxiliary arm 38 is also of a type that does not stretch because the lift point of each vehicle can be covered with short dimensions.

As described above, even in the fourth embodiment, the slide body 18b of the movable pedestal 15 is extended by the board 12 in the large passenger car in a state where the slide body 18b of the movable pedestal 15 is accommodated in the small and medium-sized passenger car. In the state where it protrudes to the side, in the RV difference or the like, when the slide body 18b is pulled out and the auxiliary arm 38 is used to protrude to the side between the two boards 12, respectively, the rubber pad 30 is applied to the lift point of each vehicle model. Alternatively, the support bracket 29 of the attachment 27 may be positioned to lift up. Therefore, the same effects as those in Embodiment 1 can be obtained, such as eliminating the problem of price increase associated with the adoption of the swing arm from the outside of the board, and improving workability and minimizing the pit by reducing the width of the entire lift.

As a modification of each of the other embodiments, the slide arm 19 described in FIGS. 1 to 3 is provided near the long side surface of the slide body 18 to further reduce the width of the slide body 18 or vice versa. By increasing the width of the arm 19, it is conceivable that the slide body and the slide arm have a structure close to the outline of a telescope type. Moreover, the position of the point pin 17 which condensed the slide body 18 may be provided near the inside of the board 12 reversely, and the turning range of the slide body 18 may be set large.

In addition, the structure of a slide arm is not limited to the said embodiment, For example, the slide arm is prescribed | regulated in the maximum protrusion position from a slide body by the structure of the pin provided in the base end of a slide arm, and the stopper of the slide body side. It is possible to change the design such that the angle horizontal swing can be enabled, or a plurality of slide arms are stored in the slide body. Conversely, not a linear slide like this, but similarly to the slide body of the first embodiment, a structure in which the slide arm is condensed so as to be able to pivot horizontally with respect to the slide body and stored in the slide body is also conceivable.

The movable pedestal is not limited to a structure that is accommodated at the front and rear ends of the boarding direction, and as shown in FIG. 10, the point pins 17 are provided on both inner ends of each board 12 to be condensed. The arm-shaped movable pedestal 15a is housed in a storage portion 16a formed on the inside of the board 12, and as shown by the two-dot chain lines therefrom, between the boards 12 and the board ( It may be possible to turn to the extension side of 12), respectively. In this case, the slide arm similar to Embodiment 1 may be accommodated, or the movable stand 15a itself may be a telescope structure so that the movable stand 15a can be expanded and contracted at the extraction position.

Moreover, in each said embodiment, although it is a structure which accommodates one part or all part of a movable stand inside a board, if there is a space in the lower surface side of a board, a part or all of movable stands, such as a slide body, may be provided in the lower surface side of a board. It may be housed in a provided storage section (which may be formed by a hollow box-like body such as a board or a pair of cross-section U-shaped rails or the like).

On the other hand, in the said embodiment, although the X-type link mechanism is used for support of a drive-on plate, it is not limited to this, It consists of a long arm, a short arm, and a push rod, and connects the lower end of a long arm and the upper end of a short arm. Other link mechanisms, such as a so-called λ-type link mechanism which is driven up and down by expansion and contraction operation of the cylinder, and a pantograph type in which the X-type link mechanism is connected in two stages above and below can also be employed.

Moreover, embodiment which connects a drive-on plate to the upper end of one or several cylinders embedded perpendicularly to the floor may not be limited to such a link mechanism. Of course, the change of these support structures is similarly possible with a small lift.

And in the said embodiment, although it is provided in the pit made by digging on the floor, it is not limited to this, Even if it is a vehicle maintenance lift provided with a free wheel lift on a drive-on plate, even if it is a floor installation type which does not dig a pit, this invention By employing the movable pedestal, the same effect can be obtained.

In addition, although the said embodiment demonstrates as a vehicle maintenance lift provided with the free wheel lift which consists of a board and a lifting device in a drive-on plate, it is not such a two-stage type but is equipped with only a board with a short dimension, and elevates to a lifting device. The present invention is also applicable to other types of vehicle maintenance lifts such as a free wheel lift.

In addition, in the said embodiment, although each movable base is a structure which can protrude on both sides of the board | substrate extension side and the board | substrate between both board | substrates, even if it makes it possible to protrude only on the board | substrate side or between both board | substrates. Since the width of the vehicle that can be lifted up becomes wider, for example, in Embodiments 1 and 2, the slide arm is omitted and only the slide body is provided on the board. Can be. Similarly, in the third and fourth embodiments, the auxiliary arm can be omitted.

According to the invention of Claims 1 and 3, even if a swing arm is not provided outside the board, the vehicle can be lifted up corresponding to a wide range of vehicle models. Therefore, the problem of detachable work and a price increase with respect to adoption of a swing arm does not arise. Moreover, since the part which protrudes to the outer side of a board by eliminating a swing arm disappears, the width | variety of the whole lift becomes small, and the distance between the operator located in the outer side and a vehicle becomes close, and workability improves. Feet also end in minimum width.

According to the invention as set forth in claim 2, in addition to the effect of claim 1, the movable pedestal is formed of a slide body and a slide arm, whereby the movable pedestal can be formed in a compact space.
