Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] A dust collection truck is often used as a vehicle for collecting and transporting general waste discharged from households and food waste discharged from restaurants. The dust collection truck has a loading device, and the loading device pushes and compresses the dust into the dust storage box. Therefore, if large iron scraps are mixed in the garbage, the garbage cannot be compressed, and the loading device will be damaged. Therefore, it is desirable to put large iron scraps and the like in a separate box and transport them. In addition, it is desirable that the box is externally attached to the vehicle body in consideration of workability. For other special equipment vehicles and flat-bed trucks, it is also desirable to place frequently used tools, jigs, etc. in externally attached boxes for transportation. The present invention meets this requirement and provides a vehicle with a storage member such as a box externally attached.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0005] An aspect for solving the above problems is a vehicle having a vehicle body structure provided with a gantry, a mounted object provided on the gantry, and a storage member attached to the side surface of the vehicle body via a bracket, wherein the bracket is formed by bending a single plate, a mounting side is formed by bending the central portion of the plate substantially vertically and fixed to the vehicle body side, and a support side extending substantially perpendicular to the mounting side is formed, and further, a side portion of the mounting side is bent to form a mounting side reinforcing portion, and a side portion of the support side is bent to form a support side reinforcing portion.

[0006] The vehicle of this aspect has a truck-type vehicle body structure, has a gantry, and has a high vehicle height. The vehicle of this aspect has a mounted object provided on the gantry. The vehicle of this aspect has a storage member attached to the side surface of the vehicle body via a bracket. The object to which the bracket is attached may be the gantry or a part of the mounted object. In the vehicle of this aspect, the storage member is externally attached, which is convenient to use. Moreover, the bracket adopted in the vehicle of this aspect is formed by bending a single plate, has a simple structure, and is easy to manufacture. If the members constituting the mounting side and the members constituting the support side are individually molded and then joined by welding or the like, it is necessary to perform angle determination and positioning of the two, which is troublesome. In contrast, the bracket adopted in the vehicle of this aspect is molded into the final shape by bending, so alignment is not required. Also, according to this aspect, the opening angle between the mounting side and the support side can be determined only by adjusting the bending angle. In addition, since the bracket adopted in this embodiment has a reinforcing portion on the mounting side, the mounting side has the necessary rigidity. Similarly, since the bracket adopted in this embodiment has a reinforcing portion on the support side, the support side also has the necessary rigidity. Since the bracket adopted in this embodiment is also formed by bending for the reinforcing portion on the mounting side and the reinforcing portion on the support side, it is easy to manufacture.

[0007] In the above-described aspect, the reinforcing portion on the mounting side and the reinforcing portion on the support side are formed by bending the sides on the same side of the plate body, and it is desirable that the bending directions of the reinforcing portion on the mounting side and the reinforcing portion on the support side are different.

[0008] According to this aspect, the reinforcing portion on the mounting side can be provided in a direction that does not interfere with the vehicle body, and the reinforcing portion on the support side can be provided in a direction that does not interfere with the storage member.

[0009] In each of the above-described aspects, it is desirable that a part of the reinforcing portion on the mounting side and a part of the reinforcing portion on the support side overlap, and a part of the reinforcing portion on the mounting side and a part of the reinforcing portion on the support side are joined at the overlapping portion.

[0010] According to this aspect, the rigidity in the opening direction of the support side can be ensured.

[0011] In each of the above-described aspects, it is desirable that the portion of the reinforcing portion on the mounting side near the reinforcing portion on the support side has a wide width.

[0012] According to this aspect, the rigidity in the opening direction of the support side can be ensured.

[0013] In each of the above-described aspects, the plate body has a mounting side region where the mounting side is formed and a support side region where the support side is formed, and it is desirable that a notch is provided between the mounting side region and the support side region of the plate body.

[0014] According to this aspect, the plate body is easy to bend during molding.

[0015] In each of the above-described aspects, it is desirable that the plate body has a reinforcing portion region where the mounting-side reinforcing portion and the support-side reinforcing portion are provided, and the notch is provided in the reinforcing portion region.

[0016] According to this aspect, the plate body is easily bent during molding.

[0019] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. The dust collection vehicle (vehicle) 1 of the present embodiment is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a vehicle in which a dust collection device (mounted object) 10 as a special device is mounted on a truck vehicle (vehicle body) 2.

[0020] The truck vehicle 2 and the dust collection device 10 are well-known and will be described first.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the truck vehicle 2 has a cab portion 5 and a chassis portion 6 in the same manner as known ones, and has traveling wheels 7, and rotates the traveling wheels 7 to run by itself. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the truck vehicle 2 is provided with a chassis 8. The chassis 8 is also referred to as a main frame or a chassis frame. The chassis 8 has a pair of first longitudinal members 11a and 11b arranged in parallel as shown in FIG. 3. The first longitudinal members 11a and 11b extend in the longitudinal direction of the truck vehicle 2 respectively. The body structure of the garbage collection vehicle (vehicle) 1 is of a truck type, and the axles of the traveling wheels 7 are under the chassis 8. Therefore, the garbage collection vehicle (vehicle) 1 has a higher vehicle height than a passenger car.

[0022] Next, the garbage collection device (mounting) 10 will be described. The garbage collection device 10 is composed of a main body device 15 that exhibits a function of collecting garbage and the like, and a deck frame 16 as shown in FIG. 3.

[0023] The main body device 15 is composed of a garbage storage box 20 that stores garbage and a garbage input box 21 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. The garbage storage box 20 is a box with a garbage discharge port (not shown) opened on the rear end side. The garbage input box 21 is located at a position covering the opening portion of the garbage storage box 20. An loading device (not shown) for pushing garbage into the garbage storage box 20 is built in the garbage input box 21.

[0024] The deck frame 16 functions as a fixing portion fixed to the chassis 8 of the truck vehicle 2, and is a frame made of steel.

[0025] The main body device 15 is fixed on the chassis 8. That is, in this embodiment, the deck frame 16 of the garbage collection device 10 is placed on the chassis 8 of the truck vehicle (vehicle body) 2, and further, the main body device 15 of the garbage collection device 10 is placed on the deck frame 16.

[0026] The dust collection vehicle (vehicle) 1 of the present embodiment has a shelf 30 provided on the side surface of the vehicle body. Here, the vehicle body is a truck vehicle (vehicle main body) 2 on which the dust collection device 10 is mounted, and is the main body part of the dust collection vehicle (vehicle) 1. The shelf 30 is in a position protected by the side bumper 31 as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3. In the present embodiment, a cage 32 (storage member) is placed on the shelf 30. The cage (storage member) 32 is formed by stretching a wire mesh over a frame made of a steel member.

[0027] The shelf 30 is composed of a pair of brackets 35, 36 and connecting metal fittings 37, 38 that connect the brackets 35, 36 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the two brackets 35, 36 are in a palm-to-palm shape. Hereinafter, the outer shape of one bracket 35 will be described with reference to FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 6, the bracket 35 has an outer shape that is substantially "L" shaped. That is, the bracket 35 has two sides: a mounting side 40 fixed to the vehicle body side and a support side 41 that supports the cage (storage member) 32. The opening angle between the mounting side 40 and the support side 41 is 90 degrees, and the support side 41 extends substantially perpendicular to the mounting side 40.

[0028] The cross-sectional shape of the mounting side 40 itself is substantially "L" shaped. That is, with reference to the state where the pair of brackets 35, 36 are attached to the vehicle body side, there is a rectangular flat plate portion 42 that contacts the gantry 8 or the deck frame 16, and on one side of the flat plate portion 42, there is a mounting side reinforcing portion 45 that stands vertically. The mounting side reinforcing portion 45 is on the outer side in the front-rear direction of the truck vehicle 2 and protrudes toward the side surface of the truck vehicle 2 with reference to the state of being attached to the vehicle body side. As shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6, about two-thirds of the region of the mounting side reinforcing portion 45 from the top is a substantially rectangular parallel region 46, and the left and right sides 50, 51 are substantially parallel. On the other hand, the lower part of the mounting side reinforcing portion 45 becomes wider as it goes downward. That is, the lower part of the mounting side reinforcing portion 45 is a wide region 47, which is substantially trapezoidal or triangular, and the outer side 50 is inclined.

[0029] The mounting side reinforcing portion 45 has an extension region 52. The extension region 52 is the lowermost region of the mounting side reinforcing portion 45 and bulges toward the support side 41 as a whole. That is, at the lower end of the mounting side reinforcing portion 45, the side 51 on the vehicle body side is inclined, and a missing portion 55 is formed at the lower end of the mounting side reinforcing portion 45. On the other hand, the outer side 50 of the mounting side reinforcing portion 45 has a horizontal extending side 56 extending outward in a substantially vertical direction, and the tip thereof is bent downward and connected to the side 51 on the vehicle body side.

[0030] Also, the cross-sectional shape of the support side 41 itself is substantially "L" shaped. A support side reinforcing portion 60 is also provided on the support side 41. Based on the state where a pair of brackets 35, 36 are attached to the vehicle body side on the support side 41, there is a rectangular flat plate portion 48 extending horizontally and contacting the bottom surface of the cage 32 (storage member), and on one side of the flat plate portion 48, there is a support side reinforcing portion 60 standing vertically downward. The support side reinforcing portion 60 is on the outer side in the front-rear direction of the truck vehicle 2 and protrudes downward toward the truck vehicle 2 based on the state of being attached to the vehicle body side. The support side reinforcing portion 60 is substantially rectangular, but the width in the height direction becomes slightly narrower toward the free end side.

[0031] As described above, the bracket 35 has an outer shape that is substantially "L" shaped. As described above, the lower end of the mounting side reinforcing portion 45 has an extension region 52, and the extension region 52 bulges toward the support side 41 as a whole. The extension region 52 of the mounting side reinforcing portion 45 extends over the support side 41, and the extension region 52 of the mounting side reinforcing portion 45 is overlapped on the support side reinforcing portion 60. And at the overlapped portion, the extension region 52 of the mounting side reinforcing portion 45 and the support side reinforcing portion 60 are welded and joined. Mounting holes 65 are provided in the flat plate portion 42 of the mounting side 40. Also, mounting holes 66 are provided in the flat plate portion 48 of the support side 41.

[0032] The brackets 35, 36 of the present embodiment have a bent structure and are made by bending a single plate body 70. Hereinafter, while referring to FIG. 7, the structure of the bracket 35 will be described. FIG. 7(a) is a perspective view showing the plate body 70 before bending. The plate body 70 is obtained by cutting out a flat plate material into a predetermined shape. That is, the plate body 70 has a rectangular main body portion 71, and has a peninsula-shaped protruding portion 72 and a curved notch portion 73 on one side thereof. The peninsula-shaped protruding portion 72 is a portion that finally becomes the wide region 47 and the extension region 52 of the mounting side reinforcing portion 45.

[0033] In the main body portion 71, there are a mounting side region 75 where a mounting side 40 is formed in the longitudinal direction, and a support side region 76 where a support side 41 is formed, and the above-described notch portion 73 is between them. Also, in the vicinity of the boundary between the mounting side region 75 and the support side region 76, and at a position on the mounting side region 75 side, there is the above-described peninsula-shaped protruding portion 72.

[0034] Also, in the main body portion 71, there are a main body region 77 and a reinforcing portion region 78 in the width direction. The main body region 77 is a portion that finally becomes the flat plate portion 42 of the mounting side 40 and the flat plate portion 48 of the support side 41. The reinforcing portion region 78 is a portion that finally becomes the mounting side reinforcing portion 45 of the mounting side 40 and the support side reinforcing portion 60 of the support side 41. The above-described peninsula-shaped protruding portion 72 is provided in the reinforcing portion region 78. Also, most of the above-described notch portion 73 is provided in the reinforcing portion region 78.

[0035] In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7(b), in the reinforcing portion region 78, the portion belonging to the mounting side region 75 is bent in one direction, and in the reinforcing portion region 78, the portion belonging to the support side region 76 is bent in the other direction. Specifically, in the reinforcing portion region 78, the portion belonging to the mounting side region 75 is mountain-folded, and in the reinforcing portion region 78, the portion belonging to the support side region 76 is valley-folded. And as shown in FIG. 7(c), the main body portion 71 of the plate body 70 is bent 90 degrees as a whole from the central portion. Specifically, the mounting side region 75 is bent substantially perpendicular to the support side region 76. By bending the main body portion 71 of the plate body 70 from the central portion, the extension region 52 of the mounting side reinforcing portion 45 overlaps the support side reinforcing portion 60. And at the overlapped portion, the extension region 52 of the mounting side reinforcing portion 45 and the support side reinforcing portion 60 are welded and joined.

[0036] In this way, the bracket 35 is formed by bending a single plate body 70. The central portion of the plate body 70 is bent substantially vertically to form a mounting side 40 fixed to the vehicle body side and a support side 41 extending substantially perpendicular to the mounting side 40. Also, the side portion of the mounting side 40 is bent to form a mounting side reinforcing portion 45, and the side portion of the support side 41 is bent to form a support side reinforcing portion 60.

[0037] The shelf 30 has a pair of brackets 35, 36 arranged opposite to each other as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and the space between them is joined and integrated by connecting metal fittings 37, 38. The shelf 30 is attached to the side surface of the vehicle body by screws (not shown). Specifically, the mounting sides 40 of the brackets 35, 36 are screwed to the side surface of the frame 8 of the truck vehicle 2 or the deck frame 16 of the dust collecting device (mounted object) 10.

[0038] The frame 8 of the truck vehicle 2 and the deck frame 16 of the dust collecting device (mounted object) 10 are at a relatively high position. Also, the width of the main body device 15 of the dust collecting device (mounted object) 10 is wider than the width of the frame 8 and the deck frame 16. Therefore, the dust collecting device (mounted object) 10 projects from the frame 8 and the deck frame 16, and there is a considerable space below the projecting portion.

[0039] The shelf 30 of the present embodiment is installed below the projecting portion of the dust collecting device (mounted object) 10. And a cage 32 (storage member) is placed on the shelf 30. Therefore, the operator can throw iron scraps, tools, etc. into the cage 32 (storage member), and the workability is high.

[0040] The brackets 35 and 36 of this embodiment are formed by bending a single plate body 70, and the mounting side 40 and the support side 41 are connected from the beginning. Therefore, it is easy to position and adjust the angle of the mounting side 40 and the support side 41, and it is easy to manufacture. Also, the brackets 35 and 36 of this embodiment have a reinforcing portion area 78. There is a notch 73 at the boundary portion between the mounting side area 75 formed by the mounting side 40 and the support side area 76 formed by the support side 41. Therefore, it is easy to bend and easy to manufacture.

[0041] The brackets 35 and 36 employed in this embodiment have a wide area 47 of the mounting side reinforcing portion 45 at the boundary portion between the mounting side 40 and the support side 41. Also, there is a semi-circular protruding portion 72 on the mounting side 40 side, and the protruding portion 72 is welded to the support side 41 side. Therefore, the brackets 35 and 36 employed in this embodiment have high rigidity against the load applied to the support side 41. That is, in this embodiment, the bending moment applied to the root portion of the support side 41 due to the load received by the support side 41 can be held by the tensile force of the wide area 47. In the above-described embodiment, the semi-circular protruding portion 72 is provided on the mounting side 40 side, but a bulging portion on the support side 41 side may be provided.
