Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] When lifting up a vehicle with a vehicle maintenance lift, it is usually done to use a receiver formed of synthetic rubber, synthetic resin, or other materials between the table of the vehicle maintenance lift and the lift point at the lower part of the vehicle. The lift point is usually provided on a part of the side sill of the vehicle, and the receiver has a shape that fits with the above lift point.

[0005] There are many types of vehicles to be lifted by a vehicle maintenance lift. For example, when lifting up a vehicle with a high ground clearance such as an SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle), a receiver with a certain height is used. On the other hand, when lifting up a sports car or other vehicle with a low ground clearance, a receiver with a low height is used. Having a plurality of receivers depending on the ground clearance of the vehicle to be maintained has been a burden on maintenance factories and the like.

[0006] In addition, the receiving tool is a component that supports the vehicle weight, and there has been a demand for a receiving tool that can be installed more safely from the perspective of preventing accidents during maintenance work.

[0007] In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle maintenance lift that can safely and efficiently lift various vehicles.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] The receiving tool for a vehicle maintenance lift according to the present invention, which has been made to solve the above problems, is a receiving tool for a vehicle maintenance lift formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and on the first surface, a first groove portion extending in the long side direction, a pair of first mounting portions provided on both ends in the width direction of the first groove portion, and a first fixing portion provided on either one of the pair of first mounting portions are provided. The second surface adjacent to the first surface on the short side is provided with a second groove portion continuous with the first groove portion, a pair of second mounting portions provided on both ends in the width direction of the second groove portion, and a second fixing portion provided on the second mounting portion on the opposite side of the pair of second mounting portions from the first fixing portion. The receiving tool for the vehicle maintenance lift is fixed to the vehicle by the magnetic force generated by the magnet portions provided in the first and second fixing portions, and is characterized in that the weights on both ends in the width direction of the first and second groove portions are substantially the same.

[0009] In the receiving tool for a vehicle maintenance lift according to the present invention, the first fixing portion may include a first hole portion provided near the edge on the first mounting portion side of the surface adjacent to either one of the pair of first mounting portions, a first magnet portion inserted into the first hole portion, and a first sealing portion for sealing the first magnet portion. The second fixing portion may include a second hole portion provided near the edge on the second mounting portion side of the surface adjacent to the second mounting portion, which is on the opposite side of the pair of second mounting portions from the first fixing portion, a second magnet portion inserted into the second hole portion, and a second sealing portion for sealing the second magnet portion.

[0010] The receiver for a vehicle maintenance lift according to the present invention may be configured such that the vehicle is placed with the first fixing portion or the second fixing portion located outside the lift point provided in the vehicle, and the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion function as marks for aligning the positions of the vehicle and the receiver for the vehicle maintenance lift.

Effects of the Invention

[0011] According to the configuration of the present invention, since the first surface of the receiver for the vehicle maintenance lift is provided with the first groove portion and the pair of first placement portions, and the second surface is provided with the second groove portion and the pair of second placement portions, various vehicles can be efficiently lifted up using the first surface or the second surface. Further, since the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are installed in directions opposite to each other, and the weights on both end sides in the width direction of the first groove portion and the second groove portion can be made substantially the same, it is possible to prevent tilting when installing at the lift point of the vehicle, and the vehicle can be safely lifted up.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a receiver 1 for a vehicle maintenance lift in an example of the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of the receiver 1 for a vehicle maintenance lift in an example of the present embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in an example of the present embodiment, the receiver 1 for a vehicle maintenance lift is configured such that the first surface 12 of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped main body 11 is composed of a first groove portion 12a and a pair of first placement portions 12b and 12c, and the second surface 13 is composed of a second groove portion 13a and a pair of second placement portions 13b and 13c.

[0014] The receiver 1 for a vehicle maintenance lift in an example of the present embodiment is a member installed between a vehicle and a vehicle maintenance lift when lifting up a vehicle to be maintained by a vehicle maintenance lift. The main body 11 of the receiver 1 for a vehicle maintenance lift may be made of synthetic rubber, synthetic resin, or other materials. In an example of the present embodiment, the main body 11 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape with a width of approximately 88 mm, a height of approximately 135 mm, and a depth of approximately 90 mm using a polypropylene glycol-based urethane resin having a Shore A hardness of approximately 91, a tensile strength of approximately 27.1 MPa, a tear strength of approximately 84.5 N / mm, an elongation rate of approximately 490%, and a resilience rate of approximately 51%. Further, in an example of the present embodiment, the main body 11 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape with a volume of approximately 1016 cubic centimeters and a weight of approximately 1077 grams.

[0015] Also, regarding the specific method of forming the main body 11, a well-known method may be arbitrarily selected. For example, a block-shaped material may be cut, an injection molding, a casting molding, or other molding methods may be used, a method of laminating using a 3D printer may be used, or a plurality of methods may be combined to form the main body 11.

[0016] In an example of this embodiment, the first surface 12 is a surface of the front side of the main body 11 with a width of approximately 88 mm and a height of approximately 135 mm, and is composed of a first groove portion 12a and a pair of first placement portions 12b and 12c. The first groove portion 12a is a groove with a width of approximately 15 mm and a depth of approximately 30 mm extending in the long side direction of the first surface 12. The first groove portion 12a is provided near the center in the width direction of the first surface 12, and on both ends in the width direction of the first groove portion 12a, the first placement portions 12b and 12c are formed by a pair of surfaces obtained by dividing the first surface 12 by the first groove portion 12a. In an example of this embodiment, the front side surface of the main body 11 is defined as the first surface 12, but any surface can be arbitrarily selected as the first surface 12. For example, the right side surface 14 of the main body 11 may be defined as the first surface 12. Also, the vehicle maintenance lift receiver 1 in an example of this embodiment is configured such that the weights on both ends in the width direction of the first groove portion 12a, that is, on the side of the first placement portion 12b and the side of the first placement portion 12c, are substantially the same.

[0017] Among the pair of first placement portions 12b and 12c, a first fixing portion 21 for fixing the vehicle maintenance lift receiver 1 to the vehicle is provided on the first placement portion 12c located on the outer side of the vehicle. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional plan view of the first fixing portion 21 in an example of this embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the first fixing portion 21 includes a first hole portion 21a with a diameter of approximately 20.5 mm and a depth of approximately 35.5 mm provided near the edge of the first placement portion 12c on the right side surface 14 which is a surface adjacent to the first placement portion 12c, a first magnet portion 21b inserted into the first hole portion 21a, and a first sealing portion 21c for sealing the first magnet portion 21b.

[0018] The magnet used as the first magnet portion 21b may be arbitrarily selected. However, in an example of the present embodiment, a neodymium magnet with a surface magnetic flux density of approximately 4942 gauss and a weight of approximately 35.3 grams is used. The first magnet portion 21b is a member for fixing the first placement portion 12c to the lift point of the vehicle as will be described later. As described above, in an example of the present embodiment, the vehicle maintenance lift receiver 1 is configured such that the weights on both ends in the width direction of the first groove portion 12a are substantially the same. In this configuration, the first magnet portion 21b is also used as a weight for making the above weights substantially the same together with the second magnet portion 22b described later. The magnet used as the first magnet portion 21 may be changed to any magnet within the range where the above weights are substantially the same, for example, using a lighter magnet when the first placement portion 21c side is heavier.

[0019] As described above, the first sealing portion 21c seals the first magnet portion 21b in the first hole portion 21a. The material used for the first sealing portion 21c and the specific method of sealing may be arbitrarily selected. However, in an example of the present embodiment, after inserting the first magnet portion 21b into the first hole portion 21a, it is sealed by filling with a polypropylene glycol-based urethane resin, which is the same material as the main body portion 11. Further, the first sealing portion 21c of the first fixing portion 21 also functions as a mark when installing the first surface 12 at the lift point of the vehicle as will be described later.

[0020] In an example of this embodiment, the second surface 13 is a substantially rectangular surface with a width of approximately 88 mm and a length of approximately 90 mm, located on the upper surface side of the main body 11. The second surface 13 is a surface adjacent to the short side of the aforementioned first surface 12, and is composed of a second groove portion 13a and a pair of second placement portions 13b and 13c. The second groove portion 13a is a groove formed with a width of approximately 15 mm and a depth of approximately 30 mm, similar to the aforementioned first groove portion 12a, and is provided continuously with the first groove portion 12a. On both ends in the width direction of the second groove portion 13a, the second placement portions 13b and 13c are formed by a pair of surfaces obtained by dividing the second surface 13 by the second groove portion 13a. In an example of this embodiment, the surface on the upper surface side of the main body 11 is defined as the second surface 13, but the second surface 13 only needs to be adjacent to the first surface 12 on the short side. For example, the surface on the bottom surface side may be defined as the second surface 13. Further, the vehicle maintenance lift receiver 1 in an example of this embodiment is configured such that the weights on both ends in the width direction of the second groove portion 13a, that is, on the side of the second placement portion 13b and the side of the second placement portion 13c, are substantially the same.

[0021] Of the pair of second placement portions 13b and 13c, on the side located outside the vehicle and opposite to the first placement portion 12c where the aforementioned first fixing portion 21 is provided, a second fixing portion 22 for fixing the vehicle maintenance lift receiver 1 to the vehicle is provided on the second placement portion 13b. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional plan view of the second fixing portion 22 in an example of this embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the second fixing portion 22 includes a second hole portion 22a with a diameter of approximately 20.5 mm and a depth of approximately 35.5 mm provided near the edge on the second placement portion 13b side of the left side surface 15, which is a surface adjacent to the second placement portion 13b, a second magnet portion 22b inserted into the second hole portion 22a, and a second sealing portion 22c for sealing the second magnet portion 22b.

[0022] The magnet used as the second magnet portion 22b may be arbitrarily selected. In an example of this embodiment, a neodymium magnet with a surface magnetic flux density of approximately 4942 gauss and a weight of approximately 35.3 grams is used, similar to the first magnet portion 21b. The second magnet portion 22b is a member for fixing the second mounting portion 13b to the lift point of the vehicle, as will be described later. As described above, in an example of this embodiment, the vehicle maintenance lift receiver 1 is configured such that the weights on both ends in the width direction of the second groove portion 13a are substantially the same. In this configuration, the second magnet portion 22b is also used as a weight for making the above weight substantially the same as that of the first magnet portion 21b described above. Similar to the first magnet portion 21b, the magnet used for the second magnet portion 22b may be arbitrarily changed within the range of making the above weight substantially the same.

[0023] As described above, the second sealing portion 22c seals the second magnet portion 22b in the second hole portion 22a. The material used for the first sealing portion 21c described above and the specific method of sealing may be arbitrarily selected in the same manner as the first sealing portion 22c described above. In an example of this embodiment, similar to the first sealing portion 21c described above, after inserting the second magnet portion 22b into the second hole portion 22a, it is filled and sealed with a polypropylene glycol-based urethane resin, which is the same material as the main body portion 11. Further, the second sealing portion 22c of the second fixing portion 22 also functions as a mark when installing the second surface 13 at the lift point of the vehicle, as will be described later.

[0024] In the receiver 1 for a vehicle maintenance lift according to an example of the present embodiment, a through-hole portion 3 penetrating the right side surface 14 and the back surface 16 of the main body portion 11 is provided. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional plan view of the through-hole portion 3 according to an example of the present embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2 and FIG. 5, the through-hole portion 3 is configured in a shape in which a hole having a diameter of approximately 11 mm provided in the right side surface 14 and a hole having a diameter of approximately 30 mm provided in the back surface 16 communicate with each other. By inserting a strap or the like through the through-hole portion 3, it can be attached to the receiver 1 for a vehicle maintenance lift. Since the through-hole portion 3 is provided on the right side surface 14 side of the main body portion 11, when there is a difference in weight between both ends in the width direction of the first groove portion 12a and / or the second groove portion 13a of the main body portion 11, the magnet used for the first magnet portion 21b and / or the second magnet portion 22b may be changed to a lighter or heavier magnet, etc., so that the weights of both ends of the receiver 1 for a vehicle maintenance lift are substantially the same.

[0025] In the receiver 1 for a vehicle maintenance lift according to an example of the present embodiment, a first groove portion 12a and a pair of first placement portions 12b and 12c are provided on the first surface 12 on the front side, and a second groove portion 13a and a pair of second placement portions 13b and 13c are provided on the second surface 13 on the upper surface side. As described above, the main body portion 11 of the receiver 1 for a vehicle maintenance lift according to an example of the present embodiment is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped member having a width of approximately 88 mm, a height of approximately 135 mm, and a depth of approximately 90 mm. When placing a vehicle on the first placement portions 12b and 12c, the receiver 1 for a vehicle maintenance lift can be used as a low-height receiver having a height of approximately 90 mm. Further, when placing a vehicle on the second placement portions 13b and 13c, the receiver 1 for a vehicle maintenance lift can be used as a high-height receiver having a height of approximately 135 mm. Characters 41 indicating the position of the second surface 13 on which the vehicle is placed when the receiver 1 for a vehicle maintenance lift is used as a high-height receiver are described on the first placement portion 12c on the first surface 12 and on the second surface 13 side of the back surface 16. Further, characters 42 indicating the position of the first surface 12 on which the vehicle is placed when the receiver 1 for a vehicle maintenance lift is used as a low-height receiver are described on the first surface 12 side of the left and right side surfaces 15 and 14.

[0026] The configuration of the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift in an example of this embodiment is as above. Next, the lift-up of the vehicle using the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift in an example of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a bottom view showing an example of the lift points 52 of the vehicle 5 to be lifted up using the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift in an example of this embodiment, and FIG. 7 is a diagram schematically showing the positional relationship among the vehicle 5, the vehicle maintenance lift 6, and the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift in an example of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, side sills 51 extending in the front-rear direction are provided on both side surfaces of the vehicle 5, and lift points 52 are provided on the front and rear end sides of the side sills 51. As shown in FIG. 7, in an example of this embodiment, the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift is installed at the lift point 52 of the vehicle 5, and the mounting plate or the like of the vehicle maintenance lift 6 is raised to lift up the vehicle 5 via the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift.

[0027] In an example of this embodiment, first, the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift is installed at the lift point 52 of the vehicle 5, and then the vehicle maintenance lift 6 is raised to lift up the vehicle 5. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the state where the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift is installed at the lift point of the vehicle 5 in an example of this embodiment, and FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the state where the vehicle 5 is lifted up in an example of this embodiment. Note that FIGS. 7 to 9 show the state where the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift is used as the above-mentioned low-height receiver. Also, in the states shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a pair of receivers 1 for vehicle maintenance lift installed at the lift points 52 provided before and after one side sill 51 are connected by a strap 7.

[0028] As described above, the lift points 52 of the vehicle 5 are provided on the front and rear end sides of the side sills 51 provided on both side surfaces of the vehicle 5. The side sill 51 is usually a hollow columnar member composed of a plurality of iron plates, and ribs 51a formed by overlapping and connecting the plurality of iron plates by welding or the like are provided on the lower end side of the side sill 51, and it is formed in a convex cross-sectional shape.

[0029] On the other hand, the first surface 12 of the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift in an example of the present embodiment is composed of a first groove portion 12a and a pair of first placement portions 12b and 12c, and is formed in a concave shape when viewed from above or from below. When installing the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift at the lift point 52 of the vehicle 5, the aforementioned rib 51a is dropped into the first groove portion 12a, and the first placement portions 12b and 12c are brought into contact with the lift point 52, and the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift is installed so as to be fitted to the lift point 52 of the vehicle 5.

[0030] In an example of the present embodiment, as described above, a first fixing portion 21 is provided on the first placement portion 12c, which is one of the first placement portions 12b and 12c, and the first fixing portion 21 includes a first magnet portion 21b. As described above, when the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift is installed at the lift point 52 of the vehicle 5, the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift is fixed to the lift point 52 of the vehicle 5 by the magnetic force generated by the first magnet portion 21b.

[0031] As described above, the side sill 51 of the vehicle 5 is a member composed of a plurality of iron plates, and the plurality of iron plates are overlapped by the ribs 51a on the lower end side and are connected by spot welding or other methods. The rib 51a is a member that can be visually recognized from the outside. While a smooth surface is formed by one iron plate or the like on the outside of the rib 51a, it is usually not formed into a smooth surface by the joints of the plurality of iron plates on the inside of the rib 51a. In the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift in an example of the present embodiment, when used as a low-height receiver, the first placement portion 21c provided with the first fixing portion 21, and when used as a high-height receiver, the second placement portion 22b provided with the second fixing portion 22 are installed at the lift point 52 of the vehicle 5 so as to be on the outside of the vehicle, so that the first magnet portion 21b or the second magnet portion 22b is brought close to the smooth surface outside the rib 51a, and the receiver 1 for vehicle maintenance lift can be reliably fixed to the lift point 52 of the vehicle 5 by the magnetic force.

[0032] As described above, the first fixing portion 21 has a configuration in which the first magnet portion 21b is inserted into the first hole portion 21a and sealed with the first sealing portion 21c. Similarly, the second fixing portion 22 has a configuration in which the second magnet portion 22b is inserted into the second hole portion 22a and sealed with the second sealing portion 22c. In an example of the present embodiment, the vehicle maintenance lift receiver 1 can be installed at the lift point 52 of the vehicle 5 using the first sealing portion 21c or the second sealing portion 22c as a mark.

[0033] After the vehicle maintenance lift receiver 1 is installed at each of the lift points 52 of the vehicle 5, the vehicle 5 is lifted up via the vehicle maintenance lift receiver 1 by raising the vehicle maintenance lift 6. The vehicle maintenance lift receiver 1 is fixed to the lift point 52 of the vehicle 5 until it contacts the vehicle maintenance lift 6, and is in a state of being suspended in the air, so to speak. Here, in an example of the present embodiment, the vehicle maintenance lift receiver 1 is provided such that the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22 are on opposite sides of each other, and is configured such that the weights on both ends in the width direction of the first groove portion 12a and the second groove portion 13a are substantially the same, effectively preventing the vehicle maintenance lift receiver 1 from tilting in the above-described suspended state. If the vehicle maintenance lift 6 is raised with the receiver tilted, there is a possibility of an accident such as the receiver receiving the weight of the vehicle 5 falling over. However, in an example of the present embodiment, by configuring the weights on both ends to be substantially the same, the vehicle 5 can be safely lifted up.

[0034] The description of an example of this embodiment is as above. Note that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this. For example, in an example of this embodiment, the first magnet portion 21b and the second magnet portion 22b use magnets of the same weight. However, as described above, when there is a difference in weight between both end sides in the width direction of the first groove portion 12a and the second groove portion 13a in the main body portion 11, the difference may be absorbed so that the weights of both end sides in the entire vehicle maintenance lift receiver 1 become substantially the same, and the weight of the magnet used in each of the first magnet portion 21b and the second magnet portion 22b may be changed. Further, each of the first sealing portion 21c and the second sealing portion 22c in an example of this embodiment has a configuration in which after inserting the first magnet portion 21b and the second magnet portion 22b into the first hole portion 21a and the second hole portion 22a, a urethane resin of the same material as the main body 11 is filled. However, the urethane resin may be formed into a columnar shape having substantially the same diameter as each of the first hole portion 21a and the second hole portion 22a, and may be inserted into the first hole portion 21a and the second hole portion 22a into which the first magnet portion 21b and the second magnet portion 22b are inserted. Further, in this case, the first sealing portion 21c and the second sealing portion 22c may be adhered to the first hole portion 21a, the second hole portion 22a, or the first magnet portion 21b and the second magnet portion 22b using an adhesive.

[0035] Other specific configurations are not limited to this embodiment, and various changes are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
