Abstract

The invention concerns a load body construction (10) for a vehicle. In the load body construction, the floor unit (13) and the roof unit (14) are connected to the wall units (11, 12) by making use of fastening profiles (17, 18) between the edges of the wall unit (11, 12) and the floor unit (13) as well as between the edges of the wall unit (11, 12) and the roof unit (14). In the construction, such a fastening profile (17, 18) that interconnects the units (11, 13; 11, 14; 12, 13; 12, 14) is used whose cross-sectional shape comprises cavities (29a, 29b...). The shape of the cavities (29a, 29b...) is such that the cavity (29a, 29b...) becomes wider from the mouth (E) of the cavity towards the interior of the cavity. The cavity forms a self-holding locking member, into which the layer (32) of reinforced plastic is already fitted in the stage of manufacture of the unit. Hardened and locked in the cavities, the reinforced plastic (32) fixes the fastening profile (17, 18) into the layer of reinforced plastic (32) and thereby to the rest of the unit construction (11, 12).

Description

Load body construction for a vehicle
The invention concerns a load body construction for a vehicle.
From prior art, load body solutions for vehicles are known in which a load body made of reinforced plastic or of synthetic materials has been assembled as a single unit by means of joint profiles of aluminium. In the joint profile solution, the joint profile includes a receiving provision for the unit to be connected to same. In the prior-art solutions, a wall of the load body of a vehicle, which is made of reinforced plastic or of a synthetic material, has first been cut into certain precise measures of length and width, whereupon the unit has been fitted into the provision in the joint profile and fixed to it by means of screws and an adhesive. Thus, in the formation of the construction in accordance with the invention, a number of different working steps have been necessary in the making of the load body. Some of the most demanding and time-consuming ones of these steps have been, for example, the sawing of the complete wall/floor/roof unit taken out of the mould to the specified measures and, at the stage of assembly of the load body, the joining of the joint profiles both with the wall unit and with the connected floor or roof unit.
In the present application, a novel construction of a load body of a vehicle is described, in which the drawbacks mentioned above have been avoided. In the present application, a novel load body construction is described, in which the wall unit and the floor unit, as well as the wall unit and the roof unit, respectively, of the load body are joined together by using a joint profile that is connected to the unit right in the stage of manufacture of the unit. Thus, in the solution in accordance with the invention, a finished wall construction is already obtained in the mould stage, which construction does not have to be brought to the correct measures by sawing the wall unit in the longitudinal and transverse directions. In the invention, it has been realized to use a joint profile that involves a cross-sectional shape which has a self-holding surface form in contact with the internal structures in the unit, such as a dovetail form. When a wall unit in accordance with the invention is manufactured, the joint profile is placed onto the bottom of the mould. The top layer in the unit will be a layer of reinforced plastic, which is made of polyester resin and fibreglass. Onto the bottom of the mould, a fastening profile is also placed, which comprises a self-holding fastening face in contact with the interior structures in the unit. The reinforced plastic is spread onto the mould face and onto the fastening profile, whereby it is also spread onto said fastening face, on which it sets and hardens. When the wall unit of the load body construction of a vehicle is formed in this way, the surface plane of the lining profile can also be made the same as the surface plane of the outer face of the reinforced plastic. In a unit in accordance with the invention, the self-holding fastening face of the unit operates as the fastening part for the fastening profile. Other fixtures, such as rivets or equivalent fixing means, are not needed.
The load body construction in accordance with the invention for a vehicle is mainly characterized in that, in the construction, such a fastening profile that interconnects the units is used as involves such a cross-sectional shape of the profile in which there are cavities, and that the shape of the cavities is such that the cavity becomes wider from the mouth of the cavity towards the interior of the cavity, whereby the cavity forms a self-holding locking member, into which the layer of reinforced plastic is already fitted in the stage of manufacture of the unit, whereby, hardened and locked in the cavities, the reinforced plastic fixes the fastening profile into the layer of reinforced plastic and thereby to the unit construction, whereby the con¬ struction requires no other fixtures between the fastening profile and the unit and whereby, in the construction, the fastening profile is already fixed to the unit permanently in the stage of manufacture of the unit.
In the following, the invention will be described with reference to some preferred embodiments of the invention illustrated in the figures in the drawing, the invention being, however, not supposed to be confined to said embodiments alone.
Figure 1 shows the load body of a vehicle as assembled. Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line I-I in Fig. 1.
Figure 3 A is an enlarged view of the area Bi in Fig. 2.
Figure 3B is an enlarged view of the fastening face shown in Fig. 3 A.
Figure 4 shows the area B2 in Fig. 2, and what is shown is a second preferred embodiment of the fastening profile, which has been used for connecting the floor unit with the wall units.
Fig. 1 shows a load body of a vehicle in accordance with the invention as as¬ sembled. The load body 10 comprises wall units 11 and 12, a floor unit 13, and a roof unit 14 as well as end units 15 and 16. The load body can be mounted on the frame A of a vehicle, such as a lorry.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line I-I in Fig. 1. The wall unit 11 is connected to the roof unit 14 by means of a fastening part or fastening profile 17. In a corresponding way, the other wall unit 12 is connected to the roof unit 14 by means of a similar fastening profile 17. The wall unit 11 is connected to the floor unit 13 by means of a fastening part or fastening profile 18, and, in a corresponding way, the other wall unit 12 is connected to the floor unit 13 by means of a similar fastening profile 18.
Fig. 3 A is an enlarged view of the joint area Bj shown in Fig. 2. The joint profile 17 is favourably an aluminium profile, being composed of two profile parts, a first profile part 17a and a second profile part 17b. The frame part 19 of the profile part 17a comprises a profile face T2 that is placed in the plane of the surface plane Ti of the wall unit. At one side, the frame part 19 includes a fastening face 20. In the end of the frame part 19, there is a receiving groove 21 for the second profile part 17b. The receiving groove 21 comprises walls 22a,22b, in which saw-blade shaped projections 23 are fitted to be inclined towards the bottom of the groove 21. Perpen¬ dicularly to the longitudinal axis Y of the frame part 19, a projection part 24 projects from the frame part 19, which projection part comprises grasping projec¬ tions 25 at both of its sides.
In the way shown in Fig. 3 A, the roof unit 14 is connected to the second profile part 17b by gluing. The profile part 17b comprises a frame portion 26, which is placed in compliance with the top face 14' of the roof unit 14, and a second frame portion 27, which is directed downwards perpendicularly to said first portion 26 and which comprises grasping projections 28 at both sides in its end. They are inclined in the direction opposite to the direction of inclination of the grasping projections 23 in the groove 21. The roof unit 14 is placed in the construction between the projection part 24 of the first profile part 17a of the connecting profile 17 and the first frame portion 26 of the second profile part 17b, being fixed to them by gluing. The roof unit 14 is glued first onto the face of the frame portion 26 of the profile part 17b, and said assembly is placed next into the profile part 17a so that the end of the frame portion 27 and its grasping projections 28 are placed in the receiving groove 21 in the profile part 17a. Said joint is secured by means of an adhesive.
Fig. 3B shows the fastening face 20 on an enlarged scale. According to the inven¬ tion, the fastening profile 17 comprises a fastening face 20 placed in its first profile part 17a and made in the same mould stage with the wall unit 11 itself. The fasten¬ ing 20 face comprises cavities 29, which are made so that they become wider towards the longitudinal axis Y of the frame part 19 of the lining plate. Then, the side walls 30,31 of the cavities 29a,29b... constitute a self-holding surface form, which locks the fastening profile 17 in a precise position in relation to the layer 32 of reinforced plastic and, thereby, in relation to the rest of the construction of the unit 11. No adhesives or other fixing means are needed. The reinforced plastic 32 consists of polyester resin and fibreglass. Onto the layer 32 of reinforced plastic, a layer F of polyurethane has been placed, and on its top, again, a layer 32 of rein¬ forced plastic has been placed, which is defined by the interior P of the vehicle.
The cross-sectional shape 29a,29b... of the cavities may also differ from that shown in Fig. 3B. The cavities 29a,29b... may be dovetail-shaped, or their shape may also be undetermined. It is essential that, when a cross-section is examined, the cavity 29a, 29b... becomes wider from the mouth E of the cavity towards the centre of the cavity and that the mouth opening E of the cavity shall have a width smaller than the width of the cavity somewhere in its middle area. In such a case, each cavity 29a,29b... forms a so-called locking cavity, in which the reinforced plastic 32 is fixed and locked. The same profile may also include cavities of different shapes. It is essential that there are several cavities 29a,29b... in the same fastening face 20. When the reinforced plastic 32 is placed into the cavities 29a,29b... in the mould filling stage, it hardens and is fixed in the interior of the cavities. The reinforced plastic 32 cannot come out of the cavity, but the walls 30,31 of the cavity have a self-holding effect and lock the fastening profile 17 in relation to the reinforced plastic 32 and, therefore, also in a precise position in relation to the rest of the unit construction 11. The reinforced plastic 32 is applied as a uniform mix, besides in the cavities 29a,29b..., also in the area G outside the cavities.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of the area B2 shown in Fig. 2. In the way shown in the figure, the fastening part or the fastening profile 18 is connected to the wall unit right in the stage of manufacture of the wall unit 11 by using a fastening profile 18 out of whose frame part 33 that is parallel to the wall a fastening face 20 projects in a way similar to that shown in Figs. 3 A and 3B. In the embodiment of Fig. 4, the fastening profile 18 is a single unified profile, which comprises a first edge part 34 projecting from the frame part 33 and a second edge part 35 projecting from the middle area of the frame part 33. At both of their sides, the edge parts 34 and 35 comprise saw-blade shaped grasping projections 36. Thus, the edge of the roof unit 14 or of the floor unit 13 can be placed in the receiving space remaining between the edge parts 34 and 35. Said joint is secured by gluing. The operation and construction of the fastening face 20 is the same as was described in connection with the descrip¬ tion of the fastening profile 17. The cavities 29a,29b... lock the profile 18 in the wall unit 11. The face 33';19' of the frame part 33,19 of the fastening profile 18 and 17 is in the same plane T2 as the face Ti of the layer 32 of reinforced plastic.
The fastening profile 18 is favourably an aluminium profile.
