Description

[0001] A MOBILE SERVICE VEHICLE

[0002] Technical Field

[0003] The present invention relates to a mobile service vehicle which tows a trailer; wherein repair tools and equipment, assemblies -particularly that will be used for electric vehicles- are included in the trailer it tows; and the power required for its operation is supplied by the power obtained from the solar panels located on the trailer.

[0004] Background of the Invention

[0005] Due to workload and rush of daily life, vehicle users are unable to take their vehicles for maintenance, thus maintenance is delayed and failures with an increasing financial aspect occur in vehicles. Therefore, today there is a need for solutions which enables both the failures occurring in vehicles to be repaired and the routine maintenance of vehicles to be carried out by means of mobile devices as if in a fixed workshop.

[0006] The Chinese patent document no. CN109849768A, an application in the state of the art, discloses a mobile vehicle maintenance workshop. The invention relates to an intelligent mobile maintenance workshop including a track disposed in a vehicle in the width direction of the maintenance vehicle corresponding to the position of a vehicle side door, a moving seat is arranged on the track, a hydraulic cylinder for driving. There is a moving seat out between the moving seat and the maintenance vehicle. A vehicle lifting mechanism for lifting a vehicle to be maintained is located on the moving seat. A telescopic protective cloth mechanism is located on the maintenance vehicle in the width direction of the maintenance vehicle. The maintenance vehicle and the telescopic protective cloth mechanism cooperate and a maintenance workshop is arranged on the side of the maintenance vehicle. The intelligent mobile maintenance workshop has the advantages that the vehicle lifting mechanism and the telescopic protective cloth mechanism can protrude from the side surface of the maintenance vehicle, the expansion and contraction of the telescopic protective cloth mechanism and the vehicle lifting mechanism are intelligently controlled, a better maintenance is provided. A working environment is provided for maintenance personnel. The entire system occupies a small area. Occupying of the driving passageway of the community is avoided. The applicability is strong.

[0007] Summary of the Invention

[0008] An objective of the present invention is to realize a mobile service vehicle which tows a trailer; wherein repair, maintenance tools and equipment, assemblies - particularly that will be used for electric vehicles- are included in the trailer it tows; and the power required for its operation is supplied by the power obtained from the solar panels located on the trailer.

[0009] Detailed Description of the Invention

[0010] “A Mobile Service Vehicle” realized to fulfil the objective of the present invention is shown in the figure attached, in which:

[0011] Figure 1 is a perspective view of the inventive a mobile service vehicle.

[0012] The components illustrated in the figure are individually numbered, where the numbers refer to the following:

[0013] 1. Vehicle

[0014] 2. Trailer

[0015] 3. Power supply 4. Solar panel

[0016] The inventive mobile service vehicle (1) for carrying out maintenance, repair services and test transactions of vehicles by means of the power obtained over solar panels comprises: at least one trailer (2) which has an enclosed volume and contains at least one lift for lifting vehicles, at least one test equipment for finding vehicle failures, tools and equipment required for part replacement of vehicles, at least one wheel alignment machine used for carrying out the wheel alignment of vehicles, at least one tire balancing machine used for carrying out the balance of vehicle tires, at least one compressor providing the air to be used for changing vehicle wheels, at least one nutrunner operating by the compressed air obtained by the compressor and allowing to remove the wheel nuts; at least one suspension testing device used for controlling the condition of the shock absorbers of vehicles, at least one power supply (3); and a plurality of solar panels (4) which will enable the power required for the said devices to be supplied by feeding the power supply (3).

[0017] The trailer (2) included in the inventive mobile service vehicle (1) comprises a plurality of solar panels (4) with a folding structure on its upper surface. The solar panels (4) enable the batteries (3) located on the trailer (2) to be charged. The trailer (2) also comprises two doors that will enable the tools and equipment, devices included inside its rear part to be moved out; a staircase that will be used for entry and exit on its side surface; and a side door that opens to the staircase. The volume of the trailer (2) is preferably divided into two sections and one of the sections is used for office purposes and the other one is used for service purposes. There is also a computer hardware for providing software service inside the trailer (2).

[0018] There are equipment storage areas such as a plurality of shelves, cabinets inside the trailer (2). Thereby, the equipment is prevented from being scattered while the vehicle is in motion. The trailer (2) also comprises at least one air conditioning unit to adjust the interior volume to the desired temperature.

[0019] The lift is included in the section where the rear door of the trailer (2) is located, in a folding structure. Upon the lift is opened, serviceability reaches the ready position particularly for electric vehicles, and the vehicle can be lifted up and down vertically. Thereby, all operations carried out at a fixed repair and maintenance workshop can be realized by the power obtained by means of solar panels. Thus, the inventive mobile service vehicle (1) can reach the vehicle to be serviced or repaired without the need for vehicle users to go to the service. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the mobile service vehicle (1) is a truck.

[0020] Within these basic concepts; it is possible to develop various embodiments of the inventive “Mobile Service Vehicle (1)”; the invention cannot be limited to examples disclosed herein and it is essentially according to claims.
