The motor vehicle with a self-supporting chassis or a longitudinal and transverse beam chassis is equipped with the kit to provide different spaces for passengers and transported objects.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of devices or equipment for vehicles designed to protect occupants or prevent them from injury in the event of an accident or other traffic hazard, in particular devices in the form of kits or separate structures that can be installed in existing vehicles. Background Art

[0002] Two types of chassis are generally used in motor vehicles: the self-supporting or monocoque chassis and the longitudinal and transverse beam chassis. In the former, the body forms a closed structure including the chassis, which is composed of a series of metal sections of different shapes, not distinguishing from such a chassis, but from the shell or shell that forms the structure of both the vehicle and its body, except for the final panels. In the case of the longitudinal and transverse beam chassis, however, there is a chassis on which the body, the engine and other elements are mounted. Whether it is a self-supporting chassis or a longitudinal and transverse beam chassis, the chassis consists of a pair of beams that extend longitudinally along the vehicle and are connected by one or more crosspieces to form the main structural elements of the vehicle.

[0003] Motor vehicles with a longitudinal and transverse beam chassis are typically industrial, off-road and racing vehicles and any other vehicle requiring a very rigid chassis that can be separated from the body, whereas passenger cars have a self-supporting chassis.

[0004] Thus, a motor vehicle with a longitudinal and transverse beam chassis allows the use of a common initial configuration to include different bodyworks according to specific needs: for example, a closed cabin with seats for transporting people, a closed cabin for people and a refrigerated box for transporting perishable products, a closed cabin for people and an open box for transporting objects of variable size, etc., forming the entire bodywork.

[0005] Taking into account the above configuration, a motor vehicle with a longitudinal and transverse beam chassis can also be repurposed with a different configuration after being built in a specific way simply by removing the body and replacing it with a new one (usually leaving the passenger compartment for people and replacing the box).

[0006] According to what is known so far, the safety cages that allow people and objects to be contained in the box, which are fitted to vehicles of this type, usually comprise two arches for each row of seats, forming an aisle between the rows. Thus, for two rows of seats, two aisles are formed, which means that the longitudinal dimensions are relatively large, while the safety requirements for the passengers make it necessary to place the rows of seats in the direction of travel and leave a safety space in case of collision, as required by current regulations.

[0007] There is a need for a safety cage kit for existing motor vehicles having both a self-supporting chassis and a longitudinal and transverse beam chassis which requires less space than existing chassis kits and also allows for the addition of other features once fitted in the vehicle, such as space for different objects. Summary of the invention

[0008] The present invention is defined and characterized in the independent claim, while the dependent claims describe further characteristics of the invention.

[0009] The object of the invention is a safety cage kit for a motor vehicle having both a self-supporting chassis and a longitudinal and transverse beam chassis and a vehicle comprising the safety cage kit. The technical problem to be solved is to configure the elements making up the kit and their arrangement in the vehicle in order to form various useful spaces for placing different objects.

[0010] In view of the above, the present invention is directed to a safety cage kit for a motor vehicle having both a self-supporting chassis and a longitudinal and transverse beam chassis, the safety cage kit comprising: four arches arranged in series, namely, a first arch, a second arch, a third arch and a fourth arch; - the first arch comprises: a first lateral section, followed by a first upper section, followed by a second lateral section; the second arch comprises: a third lateral section, followed by a second upper section, followed by a fourth lateral section; the third arch comprises: a fifth lateral section, followed by a third upper section, followed by a sixth lateral section; the fourth arch comprises: a seventh lateral section, followed by a fourth upper section, followed by an eighth lateral section; - a first upper longitudinal crossbar connects the first upper section and the second upper section; a second upper longitudinal crossbar connects the second upper section and the third upper section; a third upper longitudinal crossbar connects the third upper section and the fourth upper section; - a first transverse crossbar connects the first side section and the third side section; a second transverse crossbar connects the first side section and the third side section; a third transverse crossbar connects the second side section and the fourth side section; a fourth transverse crossbar connects the second side section and the fourth side section; - a fifth transverse crossbar connects the fifth side section and the seventh side section; a sixth transverse crossbar connects the fifth side section and the seventh side section; a seventh transverse crossbar connects the sixth side section and the eighth side section; an eighth transverse crossbar connects the sixth side section and the eighth side section; - a first intermediate section connects the first lateral section and the second lateral section; a second intermediate section connects the third lateral section and the fourth lateral section; - The third intermediate section connects the fifth lateral section and the sixth lateral section; the fourth intermediate section connects the seventh lateral section and the eighth lateral section.

[0011] These are the minimum elements required to form a sufficiently strong safety cage kit. This arrangement has the advantage of providing seats for passengers and providing aisles between the seats, as explained later in this article. Likewise, the layout of the elements allows certain spaces or gaps to be configured for different functions, as explained below.

[0012] The spatial terms "lateral", "upper", "lower", "longitudinal", "transverse" and similar terms are included to better understand and distinguish the words they accompany, which terms relate to the kit when it is in its final use position and also to the arrangement of some elements relative to other elements, without limiting the characteristics of the elements they accompany.

[0013] One advantage of the kit is that it uses simple structural elements to form a very strong structure which can be easily adapted to any spatial requirement by simply placing the elements making up the kit where required, thereby forming two spaces for seats and space for an aisle between the seats, wherein the distance requirements in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle are smaller than is known.

[0014] Likewise, the invention relates to a motor vehicle with a chassis (self-supporting chassis or longitudinal and transverse beam chassis), the motor vehicle comprising a chassis having a first crossbar extending parallel to a second crossbar, the first crossbar and the second crossbar both extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and being connected by the first transverse bar, the motor vehicle being characterized in that it comprises a safety cage kit as described, which is fixed to the first crossbar and the second crossbar.

[0015] A longitudinal-transverse beam chassis usually consists of two crossbars or beams, but there can be more if the vehicle requires more because it is larger or has very high drag requirements. Similarly, there is at least one transverse beam between the crossbars, but there are usually two or three, and more if necessary.

[0016] One advantage of such a vehicle is that it can be easily configured by simply attaching a safety cage kit to the chassis, thereby providing a sufficiently strong structure capable of accommodating two rows of seats and an aisle therebetween to form an overall longitudinal dimension that may be smaller than when using well-known kits.

[0022] Figure 1 A safety cage kit for a motor vehicle with a longitudinal and transverse beam chassis is shown in the embodiment shown, but it can also be a self-supporting chassis, which comprises: four closed arches, namely a first arch 1, a second arch 2, a third arch 3 and a fourth arch 4, which are arranged in succession, in particular in the embodiment shown, parallel to each other; - The first arch 1 comprises: a first lateral section 1.1, followed by a first upper section 1.2, followed by a second lateral section 1.3; the second arch 2 comprises: a third lateral section 2.1, followed by a second upper section 2.2, followed by a fourth lateral section 2.3; the third arch 3 comprises: a fifth lateral section 3.1, followed by a third upper section 3.2, followed by a sixth lateral section 3.3; the fourth arch 4 comprises: a seventh lateral section 4.1, followed by a fourth upper section 4.2, followed by an eighth lateral section 4.3.

[0023] Figure 1 The embodiment also shows that the first upper longitudinal crossbar 7 connects the first upper section 1.2 and the second upper section 2.2; the second upper longitudinal crossbar 8 connects the second upper section 2.2 and the third upper section 3.2; the third upper longitudinal crossbar 9 connects the third upper section 3.2 and the fourth upper section 4.2.

[0024] When the first upper longitudinal crossbar 7 connects the first upper section 1.2 and the second upper section 2.2, the first upper longitudinal crossbar can be connected at any point along the first upper section and the second upper section. The first upper longitudinal crossbar is usually located in one of the upper corners of the first arch 1, that is, at the junction between the first lateral section 1.1 and the first upper section 1.2 or at the junction between the second lateral section 1.3 and the first upper section 1.2, but the first upper longitudinal crossbar can also be positioned at a distance of up to 10 cm from these junctions or corners. The same can be said for the second upper longitudinal crossbar 8 and the third upper longitudinal crossbar 9. The embodiment shown includes the first three upper longitudinal crossbars 7, one for each upper corner of the first arch 1 and one in the middle, which are connected to their corresponding second upper longitudinal crossbars 8 and their corresponding third upper longitudinal crossbars 9 to form a continuous crossbar along the set.

[0025] Similarly, Figure 1 The embodiment of the present invention shows a first transverse crossbar 12 connecting the first lateral section 1.1 and the third lateral section 2.1, a second transverse crossbar 13 parallel to the first transverse crossbar 12 in the embodiment shown connecting the first lateral section 1.1 and the third lateral section 2.1; a third transverse crossbar 14 connecting the second lateral section 1.3 and the fourth lateral section 2.3; a fourth transverse crossbar 15 parallel to the third transverse crossbar 14 in the embodiment shown connecting the second lateral section 1.3 and the fourth lateral section 2.3; - A fifth transverse crossbar 16 connects the fifth lateral section 3.1 and the seventh lateral section 4.1; a sixth transverse crossbar 17, which in the embodiment shown is parallel to the fifth transverse crossbar 16, connects the fifth lateral section 3.1 and the seventh lateral section 4.1; a seventh transverse crossbar 18 connects the sixth lateral section 3.3 and the eighth lateral section 4.3; an eighth transverse crossbar 19, which in the embodiment shown is parallel to the seventh transverse crossbar 18, connects the sixth lateral section 3.3 and the eighth lateral section 4.3. These elements strengthen the kit and form a space that can be used in a practical way, such as allowing an opening or a window for an occupant when the kit is arranged in a vehicle, as explained below.

[0026] Additionally, Figure 1 The embodiment shows that the first intermediate section 20 connects the first lateral section 1.1 and the second lateral section 1.3; the second intermediate section 21 connects the third lateral section 2.1 and the fourth lateral section 2.3; the third intermediate section 22 connects the fifth lateral section 3.1 and the sixth lateral section 3.3; the fourth intermediate section 23 connects the seventh lateral section 4.1 and the eighth lateral section 4.3.

[0027] In the example shown, the four arches 1, 2, 3, 4 are closed, each arch comprising a first lower section 1.4, a second lower section 2.4, a third lower section 3.4 and a fourth lower section 4.4. This has the advantage of forming a closed structure that tends to be more robust. Likewise, the diagram shows an option in which the third arch 3 has a first connecting section 3.5 and a second connecting section 3.6, both of which extend from the third intermediate section 22 to the third lower section 3.4 so as to avoid the rear wheels of the vehicle. These options reflect the fact that the lower parts of the four arches 1, 2, 3, 4 are secondary and are configured according to the needs of each specific application.

[0028] Similarly, Figure 1 The embodiment in shows the possibility of a first lower longitudinal crossbar 5 at the bottom of the kit, which connects the second lower section 2.4, the third lower section 3.4 and the fourth lower section 4.4; in the embodiment shown, a second lower longitudinal crossbar 6 parallel to the first lower longitudinal crossbar 5 connects the second lower section 2.4, the third lower section 3.4 and the fourth lower section 4.4. These are not strictly necessary but can be useful depending on the specific application.

[0029] An advantageous option shown in the drawings that provides superior structural reinforcement is a fourth upper longitudinal beam 10 shown extending parallel to the second upper longitudinal beam 8, connecting the second upper section 2.2 and the third upper section 3.2. Similarly, a fifth upper longitudinal beam 11 shown extending parallel to the third upper longitudinal beam 9, connecting the third upper section 3.2 and the fourth upper section 4.2 can be added. In the embodiment shown, there are two fourth upper longitudinal crossbars 10 and two fifth upper longitudinal crossbars 11.

[0030] Figure 1 Another option shown is that when there are fourth upper longitudinal crossbars 10 and fifth upper longitudinal crossbars 11, both of the fourth upper longitudinal crossbars and the fifth upper longitudinal crossbars are aligned. In addition, the fourth upper longitudinal crossbars 10 and the fifth upper longitudinal crossbars 11 can be hollow and accessible from the fourth upper section 4.2, so that, as can be seen in Figure 3 As can be seen in the drawings, they can be used to accommodate elongated elements such as the handle of a shovel 700 or the like in a vehicle designed for transporting a fire brigade.

[0031] Similarly, another advantageous option for structural reinforcement of the lower part is mentioned below, although it has been mentioned above with respect to the closed arch, the minimum elements for such reinforcement are listed here: the second arch 2 also includes a second lower section 2.4 connecting the third lateral section 2.1 and the fourth lateral section 2.3; the fourth arch 4 also includes a fourth lower section 4.4 connecting the seventh lateral section 4.1 and the eighth lateral section 4.3; a first lower longitudinal crossbar 5 connects the second lower section 2.4 and the fourth lower section 4.4; a second lower longitudinal crossbar 6 connects the second lower section 2.4 and the fourth lower section 4.4 ( Figure 1 ). In addition, the first lower longitudinal crossbar 5 and / or the second lower longitudinal crossbar 6 is hollow and accessible from the fourth upper section 4.2, so that it can also be used to accommodate elongated elements not shown in the drawings. In fact, the first lower longitudinal crossbar 5 and / or the second lower longitudinal crossbar 6 can extend to the fifth arch 24 shown below; if the sixth arch 25 is the last arch towards the rear of the vehicle, it would be abnormal for the first lower longitudinal crossbar and / or the second lower longitudinal crossbar to extend to this sixth arch, because the objects that the first lower longitudinal crossbar and / or the second lower longitudinal crossbar can hold would extend beyond the rear, which would violate normal traffic regulations.

[0032] Optionally, the kit further comprises a fifth arch 24 ( Figure 2 and Figure 3 ) or even including the sixth arch 25 ( Figure 4 ). These additional arches, namely the fifth arch 24 and the sixth arch 25, can be connected to the other arches by means of crossbars or the like to form a structural part of the kit, or separated in a structural configuration to configure the storage and transportation space according to the requirements of the application. The fifth arch 24 and the sixth arch 25 are mentioned later in the description of the vehicle; the fifth arch 24 includes a ninth lateral section 24.1, followed by a fifth upper section 24.2, followed by a tenth lateral section 24.3, the option shown is to close this fifth arch, thus including a fifth lower section 24.4 ( Figure 2 ). This is suitable when the overall length of the vehicle, after fitting the minimum required safety cage kit as described above, leaves room at the rear for storage or other functions. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the arrangement of the fifth arch 24 is separated from the previous arches, so that an open space is formed between them, but the third upper longitudinal cross bar 9 can extend to the fifth arch 24, such as Figure 3 As shown, a more rigid structure is thus formed.

[0033] Some particularly advantageous measurements are of the arches, i.e., the height of the first arch 1, the second arch 2, the third arch 3 and the fourth arch 4 is between 1200 mm and 1600 mm, the width of the arch is between 1600 mm and 2200 mm, the distance between the first arch 1 and the second arch 2 is between 200 mm and 600 mm, the distance between the second arch 2 and the third arch 3 is between 450 mm and 800 mm, and the distance between the third arch 3 and the fourth arch 4 is between 200 mm and 600 mm.

[0034] Figures 2 to 4 A partial view of a motor vehicle with a longitudinal and transverse beam chassis is shown, the motor vehicle comprising a chassis 100 having a first crossbar 101 extending parallel to a second crossbar 102, both of which extend along the length of the vehicle and are connected by a first transverse beam 103 ( Figure 2 ), but it may include more transverse beams, such as the second transverse beam 104 shown, wherein the safety cage kit as mentioned is fixed to the first crossbar 101 and the second crossbar 102.

[0035] The kit can be fixed directly to the chassis, or using a Figure 2 Some other elements of the bracket (105) are shown, as well as being equipped with a "silent block" type shock absorber.

[0036] If you can Figure 2 and Figure 3 As can be seen in the figure, the first row of seats 200 is arranged to face the opposite direction of the vehicle's travel direction and is fixed or supported on the first cross bar 101 and the second cross bar 102 and / or the first middle section 20 and the fourth middle section 21, and a second row of seats 300 facing the vehicle's travel direction can be added thereto, and the second row of seats is also fixed or supported on the first cross bar 101 and the second cross bar 102 and / or the third middle section 22 and the fourth middle section 23.

[0037] If you can Figure 2 and Figure 3 As can be seen in FIG. 1 , the first panel 110 is placed between the first arch 1 and the second arch 2 and is fixed or supported on the first crossbar 101 and the second crossbar 102 so as to form a cavity for storing objects. Figure 3 In FIG. 4 , it can be seen that the fuel tank 400 has been installed, which is advantageous for storing hazardous materials, since the resulting cavity can be closed and made waterproof.

[0038] Additional panels can be added ( Figure 2), such as a second panel 120 extending between the second arch 2 and the third arch 3 and fixed or supported to the first cross bar 101 and the second cross bar 102, and a third panel 130 extending between the third arch 3 and the fourth arch 4 and fixed or supported on the first cross bar 101 and the second cross bar 102, to form a floor of the vehicle passenger compartment.

[0039] Another option is to include the fifth arch 24 in the kit ( Figures 2 to 4 ), the fifth arch comprises a ninth lateral section 24.1, followed by a fifth upper section 24.2 and a tenth lateral section 24.3, which may be optionally closed, as shown here, and thus comprises a fifth lower section 24.4 ( Figure 2 and Figure 4 ); This allows installation of a fourth panel 140 extending between the fourth arch 4 and the fifth arch 24 and secured to or supported by the first crossbar 101 and the second crossbar 102, as well as installation of an upright hinged door 170 ( Figure 2 and Figure 3 ), i.e., the upright hinged door is rotatably fixed to the ninth lateral section 24.1 and the tenth lateral section 24.3, or to the fifth lower section 24.4, with the hinges in the horizontal position. The upright folding door 170 is very practical, as it can be used as a horizontal work surface, optionally with clamps, and as a climbing platform.

[0040] If you can Figure 3 As can be seen in the figure, the space formed between the fourth arch 4 and the fifth arch 24 is a storage space suitable for various objects, such as tools or cans 600, or sprayers 800 filled with agricultural or fire retardant substances. In the lower part, as a safety measure, another panel can be added to the fourth panel 140, that is, the sixth panel 160, which faces the outside of the vehicle to hold dangerous materials, such as explosives 500.

[0041] Figure 4 Another option shown is that the chassis kit includes, in addition to the fifth arch 24, a sixth arch 25, which includes an eleventh lateral section 25.1, followed by a sixth upper section 25.2 and a twelfth lateral section 25.3, followed in this figure by an optional sixth lower section 25.4; this allows the fifth plate 150 ( Figure 4), which extends between the fifth arch 24 and the sixth arch 25 and is fixed or supported to the first crossbar 101 and the second crossbar 102, and a vertical hinged door (not shown in the figure) is placed; the vertical hinged door can be attached to the eleventh side section 25.1 and the twelfth side section 25.3 in a rotatable manner, or to the sixth lower section 25.4, which has the above-mentioned advantages, because the vertical hinged door can be used as a horizontal work surface, with clamps and as a climbing platform.
