The rear gate 23 is supported by a connecting belt 41e so as to be flush with the placement surface 24.

[0055] Next, a procedure for assembling the vehicle 1 with living space will be described.

[0056] First, the main box 40 is lifted using a crane or the like, and as can be seen from Figure 10, the jack side locking portions 122, 123 of each jack member 120 are inserted into the first locking holes 65, 75 and the second locking holes 66, 76 of the wall portions 55, 56, so that each jack member 120 supports the main box 40 of the living cabin 3 (jack locking process).

[0057] At this time, the main body box 40 of this embodiment has four jack members 120 attached to the four corners of the main body region 97, and is supported in the air by the four jack members 120.

[0058] If necessary, as shown in FIG. 11, the height adjustment parts 125 of the jack members 120 are operated by means of a screw rod (not shown) to raise the main box 40 (jack raising step).

[0059] At this time, the bottom wall portion 51 of the main body box 40 after being raised is parallel to the ground 200, with a space 110 being formed between the bottom wall portion 51 and the ground 200.

[0060] 12, the loading platform 10 of the freight vehicle 2 is moved into the space 110 between the main box 40 and the ground 200, and a part of the main box 40 is positioned above the loading platform 10 (arrangement step).

[0061] At this time, the freight vehicle 2 is driven backward into the space 110 so that most of the main body area 97 of the main body box 40 is positioned on the placement surface 24 .

[0062] Next, as shown in Figure 13, the rear gate 23 is tilted down, and the height adjustment unit 125 is operated to lower the main box 40, and the main box 40 is placed on the placement surface 24 of the floor portion 20 of the cargo bed portion 10 between the pair of side gates 21, 22 (placement process).

[0063] At this time, the rear gate section 23 is suspended from the floor section 20 via the hinge. Further, most of the main body area 97 of the main box 40 is placed on the placement surface 24, and the remaining part of the main body area 97 of the main box 40 protrudes rearward from the placement surface 24 of the floor portion 20.

[0064] Next, the jack side locking portions 122, 123 are removed from the first locking holes 65, 75 and the second locking holes 66, 76 of the wall portions 55, 56 (jack removal step).

[0065] At this time, the first locking holes 65, 75 and the second locking holes 66, 76 of the wall portions 55, 56 are exposed to the outside.

[0066] 1 and 14, the main box 40 is fixed to the bed portion 10 of the cargo vehicle 2 by the connecting belts 41a to 41e (fixing step). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, on the left side of the main box 40, the first hook portions 101, 101 of the connecting belts 41a, 41b are engaged with the first engagement holes 65a, 65b of the left side wall portion 55, and the second hook portions 102, 102 are engaged with the lower rope hook portions 25, 25 of the cargo bed portion 10. Also, as shown in Figure 14, on the right side of the main box 40, the first hook portions 101, 101 of the connecting belts 41c, 41d are engaged with the first engagement holes 75a, 75b of the right side wall portion 56, and the second hook portions 102, 102 are engaged with the lower rope hook portions 25, 25 of the cargo bed portion 10. Furthermore, at the rear side of the main box 40, the rear flap portion 23 is raised to be flush with the mounting surface 24, the first hook portion 101 of the connecting belt 41e is engaged with the second engagement hole 66b of the left side wall portion 55, the belt main body 100 is passed under the rear flap portion 23, and the second hook portion 102 is engaged with the second engagement hole 76b of the right side wall portion 56.

[0067] At this time, in each of the connecting belts 41a to 41e, the tension of the belt main body 100 is adjusted by the tension adjusting section 103 so that a certain level of tension or more is constantly applied to the belt main body 100. Further, due to the tension of the belt main body 100, a portion of the first hook portion 101 of each of the connecting belts 41a to 41e abuts against the hook receiving portions 67a to 67c, 77a, and 77b, and a portion of the second hook portion 102 of the connecting belt 41e abuts against the hook receiving portion 77c.

[0068] Next, a procedure for disassembling the vehicle 1 with accommodation space will be described.

[0069] First, the tension applied to the belt main body 100 is reduced by the tension adjusting parts 103 of the connecting belts 41a to 41e, and the connecting belts 41a to 41e are removed from the loading platform 10 and the main box 40 (belt removal process).

[0070] Next, the jack side locking portions 122, 123 of the jack member 120 are inserted into the first locking holes 65, 75 and the second locking holes 66, 76 of the wall portions 55, 56, and the height adjustment portions 125 of each jack member 120 are operated using a screw rod not shown in the figure to raise the main box 40 of the living cabin 3 (second jack raising process).

[0071] At this time, a space is created between the bottom wall portion 51 of the main box 40 after it has been raised and the placement surface 24 of the loading platform portion 10, and the main box 40 is supported only by the jack members 120.

[0072] Next, the freight vehicle 2 is caused to travel forward, and is moved from below the bottom wall portion 51 of the main body box 40 (vehicle moving step).

[0073] According to the living cabin 3 of this embodiment, the living cabin 3 can be fixed to the freight car 2 by disposing a part of the main box 40 between the pair of side gates 21, 22, engaging the first hook portion 101 with the first locking holes 65, 75, and engaging the second hook portion 102 with the lower rope hook portion 25, so that the living cabin 3 can be easily installed on an existing freight car 2 without modifying the existing freight car 2. Also, since modification of the freight car 2 is not required, a vehicle 1 with a living space can be constructed at a lower cost than before.

[0074] According to the living cabin 3 of this embodiment, the first hook portion 101 of each of the connecting belts 41a to 41e abuts against the hook receiving portions 67a to 67c, 77a, and 77b, and the second hook portion 102 of the connecting belt 41e abuts against the hook receiving portion 77c. As a result, the movement of each of the connecting belts 41a to 41e is restricted, so that the connecting belts can be stably fixed to the cargo vehicle 2.

[0075] According to the living cabin 3 of this embodiment, the first locking holes 65, 75 serve both to engage with the first hook portions 101 of the connecting belts 41a to 41d and to engage with the jack side locking portion 122 of the jack member 120. Therefore, there is no need to provide a separate structure for engaging with the jack side locking portion 122, which allows for cost reduction.

[0076] According to the living space 3 of this embodiment, the first hook portions 101, 101 of the connecting belts 41a, 41c (front connecting belts) are engaged with the front first locking holes 65a, 75a (front locking holes), and the first hook portions 101, 101 of the connecting belts 41b, 41d (rear connecting belts) are engaged with the rear first locking holes 65b, 75b (rear locking holes) to be fixed to the bed 10 of the cargo vehicle 2. Therefore, the cabin 3 is well balanced in the front-rear direction (the traveling direction of the cargo vehicle 2) and can be stably fixed to the cargo vehicle 2.

[0077] According to the living cabin 3 of this embodiment, first locking holes 65a, 75a (first locking holes 65b, 75b) are provided in a pair of side wall portions 55, 56 facing each other across the living space 50, and the first hook portions 101, 101 of the connecting belts 41a, 41b are engaged with the first locking holes 65a, 65b on the left side, and the first hook portions 101, 101 of the connecting belts 41c, 41d are engaged with the first locking holes 75a, 75b on the right side to be fixed to the bed portion 10 of the cargo vehicle 2. Therefore, the balance is good in the width direction (left-right direction) of the cargo vehicle 2, and the cargo vehicle 2 can be stably fixed.

[0078] According to the living cabin 3 of this embodiment, the first engagement holes 65, 75 of the pair of side wall portions 55, 56 are provided at a position higher than 1 / 2 of the total height of the main box 40, so that the main box 40 is less likely to tip over and the posture of the main box 40 is stable when the cargo vehicle 2 is traveling.

[0079] According to the vehicle 1 with living space of the present embodiment, the main box 40 is placed across the rear tailgate 23 and the placement surface 24. Therefore, the living space 50 of the main box 40 can be made large.

[0080] In the above embodiment, the second hook portion 102 is engaged with the lower rope hook portion 25, but the present invention is not limited to this. The second hook portion 102 may be engaged with the upper rope hook portion 26.

[0081] In the above embodiment, a pantograph jack is used as the height adjustment unit 125 of the jack member 120, but the present invention is not limited to this. Other jack mechanisms may be used as the height adjustment unit 125 to adjust the height.

[0082] In the above embodiment, the main box 40 is supported in a floating state in the air by four jack members 120, but the present invention is not limited to this. The main box 40 may be supported in a floating state in the air by less than three jack members 120, or the main box 40 may be supported in a floating state in the air by five or more jack members 120.
