Description
本発明は、運転者一人が乗って運転（乗車）する小型４輪車両に関し、特に交通事故などで車両に何かが衝突する際の衝撃を効率良く吸収し、運転者を損傷や落命から守る安全機構を有する車両の構造に関する。
The present invention relates to a small four-wheeled vehicle in which one driver rides (rides), and in particular, efficiently absorbs the impact when something collides with the vehicle in a traffic accident or the like, and protects the driver from damage or death. Regarding the structure of a vehicle having a safety mechanism.
近年、小型の一人乗り自動車が実用化されつつある。また、一人乗りのドローンなども開発されつつある。これらの小型乗物は利便性を追求するため、構造はシンプルで、軽量である。そのため、何かに衝突した場合や、何かが衝突した際に車両が大きく破損し、運転者（乗員）が大けがを負うとか、落命する可能性が高いという欠点があった。特に、一人乗り自動車の場合、横方向からの衝突で、より大きな損傷を受ける可能性があった。
In recent years, small single-seater cars are being put into practical use. In addition, single-seater drones are being developed. For convenience, these small vehicles have a simple structure and are lightweight. Therefore, there is a drawback that the vehicle is severely damaged when it collides with something, and the driver (occupant) is likely to be seriously injured or lose his or her life. In particular, in the case of a single-seater vehicle, a lateral collision could cause greater damage.
小型の一人乗り自動車として小型４輪車両があり、特開２０００－８５５０２号公報（特許文献１）には、乗降性を犠牲にせず、乗員の安定支持構造を得る小型４輪車両が開示されているが、衝突時の補強についての開示はない。
There is a small four-wheeled vehicle as a small one-seater vehicle, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-85502 (Patent Document 1) discloses a small four-wheeled vehicle that obtains a stable support structure for occupants without sacrificing boarding / alighting performance. However, there is no disclosure about reinforcement in the event of a collision.
また、特開２０１１－１６８１２９号公報（特許文献２）には、車両の衝撃吸収構造が開示されているが、２つの衝撃吸収体が必要であり、構造が複雑になる問題がある。
Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-168129 (Patent Document 2) discloses a shock absorbing structure of a vehicle, but there is a problem that two shock absorbers are required and the structure becomes complicated.
本発明は上述のような事情よりなされたものであり、本発明の目的は、シンプルで軽量、かつ衝撃に強い構造で、事故の際に運転者の生命を守り、損傷を抑制する小型４輪車両を提供することにある。
The present invention has been made due to the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is a small four-wheeled vehicle having a simple, lightweight, and impact-resistant structure that protects the life of the driver and suppresses damage in the event of an accident. To provide a vehicle.
本発明は、４輪車両に車両ボディに支持されて左右各１対ずつの前輪及び後輪を設けられると共に、前記車両ボディ内に、前記前輪を操舵する運転席が設けられている一人乗りの小型４輪車両に関し、本発明の上記目的は、前記車両ボディの内面に沿い、かつ前記運転席の周りを平面楕円形状の楕円状パイプで水平に囲んだ構造を持つこと、或いは前記車両ボディの内面に沿い、かつ前記運転席の周りを平面楕円形状の第１の楕円状パイプで水平に囲んだ構造を持つと共に、前記運転席の背もたれの後面に、前記背もたれよりも外形が大きな平面楕円形状の第２の楕円状パイプが配設された構造を持つことにより達成される。
The present invention is a single-seater vehicle in which a four-wheeled vehicle is supported by a vehicle body and is provided with a pair of front and rear wheels on each side, and a driver's seat for steering the front wheels is provided in the vehicle body. With respect to a small four-wheeled vehicle, the above object of the present invention is to have a structure along the inner surface of the vehicle body and horizontally surrounding the driver's seat with an elliptical pipe having a plane elliptical shape, or to have a structure of the vehicle body. It has a structure along the inner surface and horizontally surrounded by a first elliptical pipe having a planar elliptical shape, and has a planar elliptical shape having a larger outer shape than the backrest on the rear surface of the backrest of the driver's seat. This is achieved by having a structure in which the second elliptical pipe of the above is arranged.
本発明に係る小型４輪車両によれば、車両の前部や後部又は側部に衝撃を受けた場合、楕円形状のパイプがその衝撃を楕円形状の円周方向に逃がすため、運転者（乗員）が外力を直接受けることはなく、極めて安全性が高い。楕円状パイプは中空であるため、軽量であり、小型乗物の利便性を損なうことはない。また、楕円状パイプの短軸に補強用の棒状パイプを配設した場合、更に大きな外力を吸収することができる。このため、大きな衝撃を受けても車両は潰れることは稀で、運転者の損傷を最小限にすることができる。
According to the small four-wheeled vehicle according to the present invention, when an impact is applied to the front, rear or side of the vehicle, the elliptical pipe releases the impact in the circumferential direction of the ellipse, so that the driver (occupant) ) Is not directly exposed to external force and is extremely safe. Since the elliptical pipe is hollow, it is lightweight and does not impair the convenience of small vehicles. Further, when a reinforcing rod-shaped pipe is arranged on the short axis of the elliptical pipe, a larger external force can be absorbed. Therefore, the vehicle rarely collapses even if it receives a large impact, and the damage to the driver can be minimized.
本発明に係る小型４輪車両（一人乗り車両）は、車両ボディに支持され、左右各１対ずつの前輪及び後輪を設けられると共に、車両ボディ内に、前輪を操舵する運転席が設けられている。運転席に乗車した運転者はハンドルで操舵して、車両を運転する。本発明では運転席の周りに水平に楕円状パイプを配設すること、或いは運転席の背もたれの後面に楕円状パイプを配設することによって、衝突等による車両の衝撃に対する安全性を高めている。また、楕円状パイプの短軸に補強用の棒状パイプを取り付けることにより、一層の効果を上げることができる。楕円状パイプは中空の円筒形構造をしており、軽量であるが、加えられた衝撃力を円周方向に逃がすため、変形しにくいと言う形状的な特性を持つ。
The small four-wheeled vehicle (single-seater vehicle) according to the present invention is supported by the vehicle body and is provided with a pair of front and rear wheels on each side, and a driver's seat for steering the front wheels is provided in the vehicle body. ing. The driver in the driver's seat steers with the steering wheel to drive the vehicle. In the present invention, by arranging the elliptical pipe horizontally around the driver's seat or by arranging the elliptical pipe on the rear surface of the backrest of the driver's seat, the safety against the impact of the vehicle due to a collision or the like is enhanced. .. Further, by attaching a reinforcing rod-shaped pipe to the short axis of the elliptical pipe, the effect can be further improved. The elliptical pipe has a hollow cylindrical structure and is lightweight, but it has a shape characteristic that it is hard to be deformed because the applied impact force is released in the circumferential direction.
図１は本発明の第１実施形態を示しており、車両ボディ１０の下方前部には、前輪車軸２２を介して左右前輪２０ＦＬ及び２０ＦＲが設けられており、下方後部には、後輪車軸２３を介して左右後輪２１ＲＬ及び２１ＲＲが設けられている。車両ボディ１０と一体のフレーム１１には制御機器収納部１２が設けられると共に、車両後方にも制御機器収納部１３が設けられている。また、車両中央部には、運転者が座って運転するための運転席３０が設けられており、運転席３０は座席３１と背もたれ３２で構成され、運転者はハンドル４０で操舵装置４１を介して車両を操舵する。
FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention, in which left and right front wheels 20FL and 20FR are provided on a lower front portion of a vehicle body 10 via a front wheel axle 22, and a rear wheel axle is provided on a lower rear portion. Left and right rear wheels 21RL and 21RR are provided via 23. The frame 11 integrated with the vehicle body 10 is provided with a control device storage unit 12, and a control device storage unit 13 is also provided at the rear of the vehicle. Further, in the central part of the vehicle, a driver's seat 30 for the driver to sit and drive is provided, the driver's seat 30 is composed of a seat 31 and a backrest 32, and the driver uses a steering wheel 40 via a steering device 41. Steer the vehicle.
そして、本発明では、車両ボディ１０内の内面に沿って、運転席３０の周りに水平に、平面楕円形状の楕円状パイプ１００を配設している。楕円形パイプ１００は、車両ボディ１０やフレーム１１などの構造物に、溶接等の公知の取り付け手段によって取り付けられている。また、運転席３０の後方位置で、楕円状パイプ１００の短軸に補強用の棒状パイプ１１０を溶接等、公知の連結手段で連結している。この場合、楕円状パイプ１００が、運転者の乗降を妨げないことが必要であるが、ハンドル４０をフロントガラス方向に折り曲げ、運転席３０背もたれ３２をリクライニングさせ、水平方向に９０度回転しながら足を楕円状パイプ１００の上まで持ち上げる機構を取り付けることにより、容易な乗降が可能となる。
Then, in the present invention, the elliptical pipe 100 having a plane elliptical shape is arranged horizontally around the driver's seat 30 along the inner surface of the vehicle body 10. The elliptical pipe 100 is attached to a structure such as a vehicle body 10 or a frame 11 by a known attachment means such as welding. Further, at the rear position of the driver's seat 30, a reinforcing rod-shaped pipe 110 is connected to the short shaft of the elliptical pipe 100 by a known connecting means such as welding. In this case, it is necessary that the elliptical pipe 100 does not prevent the driver from getting on and off, but the handle 40 is bent toward the windshield, the driver's seat 30 backrest 32 is reclined, and the foot is rotated 90 degrees in the horizontal direction. By attaching a mechanism for lifting the wheel up to the top of the elliptical pipe 100, it is possible to easily get on and off.
楕円状パイプ１００には、車両（乗用車）の構造用として規格化され、実績のある炭素鋼鋼管が適している。重さ６００Ｋｇの車両が、時速４０Ｋｍ／ｈで壁に激突して0.1秒で止まった場合、衝撃力は、６６，０００Ｎであるが、耐力の最も大きいＳＴＡＭ５４０Ｈ鋼管を使用した場合、耐力は４８０Ｎ／ｍｍ２であり、パイプ外径をＤとし、厚さをｔとすると、衝撃力を上回るためには、下記数１の関係でなければならない。

When a vehicle weighing 600 kg collides with a wall at a speed of 40 km / h and stops in 0.1 seconds, the impact force is 66,000 N, but when the STAM540H steel pipe with the highest yield strength is used, the yield strength is 480 N / h. Assuming that the diameter is mm 2 , the outer diameter of the pipe is D, and the thickness is t, the relationship of the following equation 1 must be satisfied in order to exceed the impact force.

Further, assuming that the safety factor as a steel material is "2", the relationship between the outer diameter D and the thickness t is
