Abstract

Figure 1 is an example of a structure to dump vehicles composed of circular rings (1), transverse uprights (2) and longitudinal uprights (3), joined together forming a cylindrical volume that adapts to the body and / or chassis of the vehicle , to make it easily tip over by moving movement and keeping in contact with the ground at all times. The objective of this invention is to be able to convert any vehicle into a didactic tool that allows training for the rescue of victims in overturned vehicles, without the risk of falls from a height for the participants in the maneuver, without the need of an electric motor or power supply for dump the vehicle and keeping the access and exits of the vehicle practicable to be able to perform rescue maneuvers without elements that interfere with them.

DESCRIPTION

Structure to dump vehicles.

Technical sector

The present invention relates to a structure that can be attached to a vehicle so that it can easily be overturned and overturned in order to use it for teaching in the field of emergencies, rescue and rescue.

Background of the invention

There are metal structures that contain a tourism vehicle keeping it raised from the ground, held by the front and rear on an axis that rotates by electric motor. These structures allow to overturn and overturn a vehicle to reproduce the rollover situation and are used in driving schools to transmit feelings of overturning to the occupants of the vehicle or to solve the maneuver of self rescue in overturned vehicle. These models are not supported directly on the ground, are not suitable for simulation of rescue of victims trapped in an overturned vehicle, the distance from the vehicle to the ground removes realism to the simulation and poses a risk of fall for participants in the maneuver. In addition, the same structure invades the space of the maneuver, distorting and hindering the extraction of victims and the access of rescuers.

Explanation of the invention.

In order to achieve the objectives and solve the aforementioned inconveniences, this invention consists of a light and resistant structure, composed of rings and uprights joined together and fixed to the body and / or chassis of the vehicle, configuring a cylindrical volume with dimensions enough to contain a vehicle inside. The cylindrical shape of the structure allows the rotation of the structure on itself, making the vehicle housed inside rotate in solidarity with the structure, making the vehicle-structure assembly a translation turn on the ground being at all times in contact with this . To dump and unload the vehicle-structure assembly, no motor or power supply is necessary, since it can be done manually, being pushed by the participants in the rescue maneuver. This structure allows us to reproduce the situation of overturning of a vehicle in different positions: left side tipping, right side tipping, and full tipping over the roof of the vehicle; In addition to allowing intermediate dump positions to those mentioned. Once the desired tipping position has been achieved to perform the maneuvers, the structure must be immobilized by means of failures so that the maneuvers can be carried out safely, avoiding uncontrolled movements of the vehicle-structure assembly that may cause damage to the participants in the maneuvers

The measures of the structure will be adjusted to the measures of the vehicle that we want to accommodate inside, contemplating the possibility of accommodating vehicles in a square, two-seater, cars; SUVs and minivans of four, five, six or seven seats; minibuses, buses or even the cab of a truck.

In all cases, the vehicle must be fixed to the structure so that the vehicle-structure assembly moves in solidarity. The rings and uprights will be fixed to each other and attached to the body and / or chassis of the vehicle by welding, screwing, using straps, ratchets or chains, or the combination of these.

This structure allows us to stage with great realism the overturning of a vehicle without this entailing a risk of falling for the participants in the maneuver (occupant victims of the vehicle and rescuers) and without the structure interfering with the access and exits of the vehicle. The resolution of accidents involving vehicles overturned with occupants is complex and to learn how to solve them it is necessary to reproduce the scene reliably to reality, so that learning can be transferred to the resolution efficiently in real accidents with vehicles overturned, minimizing thus the damages in the victims during the rescue.

The practice and learning of the dump vehicle escape maneuver is intended for all drivers in general. Rescue and rescue maneuvers are intended for training and learning for security forces (firefighters, police and out-of-hospital health personnel).

Brief description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical implementation thereof, a set of figures is attached as an integral part of said description. where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the structure to dump vehicles.

Figure 2 shows a side view of the structure set for dump and vehicles.

Figure 3 shows a front view of the structure set for dump and vehicles.

Figure 4 shows a front view of the structure structure for overturning and vehicles in lateral overturning on the right side of the vehicle.

Figure 5 shows a front view of the structure assembly to dump vehicles and vehicle in lateral overturning on the left side of the vehicle.

Figure 6 shows a front view of the structure assembly to dump vehicles and vehicle in complete overturning on the roof of the vehicle.

Below is a list of the different elements represented in the figures that make up the invention:

1 = Circular ring.

2 = Cross stile.

3 = Longitudinal stile.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

The structure for overturning vehicles as can be seen in Figure 1 consists of circular rings (1) arranged in parallel and joined by transverse uprights (2) and longitudinal uprights (3), in order to achieve a cylindrical volume structure. The interior volume of this cylinder will have the appropriate dimensions to accommodate inside the vehicle that we want to tip over. The measure and number of

Circular rings, transverse uprights and longitudinal uprights must be adapted to contain each type of vehicle that we want to accommodate inside the structure.

The structure for overturning vehicles figure 1 is an example of this type of structure in which the measurement and arrangement of the circular rings (1), the measurement and arrangement of the transverse (2) and longitudinal (3) uprights are configured to Contain a small car with five doors. We also contemplate the possibility of manufacturing this structure to dump vehicles with extensible longitudinal uprights (3) so that it can adapt to any vehicle in its range with similar morphology and volume. In this case, the crossbars (2) must also be adapted in terms of position, size and quantity, considering the possibility of adding or removing crossbars (2) in order to achieve adequate vehicle-structure cohesion.

The number of rings will depend on the dimensions of the vehicle we want to overturn, at least two circular rings (1) will be necessary. The number of transverse (2) and longitudinal (3) uprights can also vary depending on the dimensions and morphology of the vehicle to tip over.

The material of the circular rings (1) and uprights (2 and 3) of the structure can be metallic, plastic or other synthetic materials that meet the appropriate characteristics to give lightness, rigidity and resistance to the structure for overturning vehicles. The whole structure can also be formed by the combination of the aforementioned materials.

The assembly of the circular rings (1) and uprights (2 and 3) of the structure will be done differently depending on the materials used. Mainly the assembly will be by welding and / or screwing. All the uprights (2 and 3) of the structure that are in contact with the chassis and / or body of the vehicle, can be fixed to it by welding and / or screwed it in order to give greater cohesion to the structure-vehicle assembly.

The circular rings (1) and uprights (2 and 3) may be of one piece, or be made up of joined and removable pieces, with the objective of reducing the size of the structure once disassembled, thus facilitating its transport.
