[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a rain shelter at a vehicle entrance / exit.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a rain shelter that forms an eave at the top of the door when the vehicle door is opened, an eave plate that can be stowed inside the body panel is added to the upper part of the door, and as shown in FIG. In addition to the one in which a bellows 23 as a foldable eave is interposed between the vehicle body 21 and the base end of the eave plate is rotatably connected to the upper part of the door in the vertical direction, and the eave plate is omitted. It is known that an actuator for rotating (opening and closing) between a horizontal use position and a substantially vertical storage position is provided (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-56490 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-110567). (Actual No. Sho 61-30526).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the eaves plate integrated with the door cannot be removed easily, it interferes with getting on and off when it is unnecessary, such as in sunny weather, and the foldable eaves may not be able to fold the bellows properly when the door is closed. However, there was a problem that the appearance was not good.

With the opening and closing type eaves plate linked to the actuator, such a problem can be solved as a matter of course, but if the opening of the door is not always structurally constant, that is, a hinge opening and closing type side door, etc. In the case of, there was a concern that the plate would interfere with the vehicle body. In addition, since the actuator and the eaves plate are attached to the inner surface of the door, the appearance of these movements can be seen from the inside of the door.

The present invention aims to solve such problems.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, in this invention, in a vehicle equipped with a wind deflector on a cab roof, an eaves plate that can be pulled out from the side surface to the side of the vehicle in the wind deflector, and the storage position in the wind deflector and the wind deflector side. An actuator that is moved to and from the use position and at least an operation switch that controls driving of the actuator are provided.

[0007]

[Action]

 When the eaves plate inside the wind deflector operates the main switch to the pull-out side, it receives the driving force from the actuator in the forward direction and moves from the side surface of the wind deflector to the side-use position of the vehicle, Form the eaves above the cab side door. If the main switch is operated to the storage side from this state, the eaves plate will be returned to the initial position inside the wind deflector again by the actuation of the actuator in the opposite direction.

In this case, since the space inside the wind deflector is effectively used as the storage space for the eaves plate, the eaves plate when not in use is completely hidden from the outside by the wind deflector, so that the appearance can be properly ensured. In addition, since the eaves plate projects to the side of the side surface of the wind deflector, it does not interfere with the entry and exit of the wind deflector when in use even from the height position.

[0009]

【Example】

 In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a wind deflector on the cab roof, and slits 3A, 3B are formed on both side surfaces 8A, 8B thereof to allow the eave plates 2A, 2B to move in and out in the horizontal direction. Each of the eaves plates 2A and 2B is formed in a fan shape that covers the opening range of the cab side doors 4A and 4B, and the pins 5A and 5A are freely pivotable in the horizontal direction in the vicinity of the front ends of the slits 3A and 3B inside the deflector 1. Supported by 5B. Inside the wind deflector 1, two actuators 6A and 6B (air cylinders) are pin-coupled at their base ends onto the cab roof so that they can swing freely in the horizontal direction, and at the tips of the piston rods 7A and 7B, respectively. One side of the plates 2A, 2B is also swingably connected.

When the piston rods 7A, 7B of the air cylinders 6A, 6B extend, the eaves plates 2A, 2B are horizontally extended from the side surfaces 8A, 8B of the wind deflector 1 to the sides of the vehicle through the slits 3A, 3B. When the piston rods 6A and 6B contract, the slits 3A and 3B of the side surfaces 8A and 8B return to the retracted position in the wind deflector 1.

Each of the air cylinders 6A, 6B is connected to the air tank 9 by piping as shown in FIG. 2, and solenoid valves 10A, 10B for selectively supplying air pressure and atmospheric pressure to the cylinders 6A, 6B are interposed in the middle of the piping. To be dressed. The actuating parts 11A, 11B (solenoids) of the solenoid valves 10A, 10B are connected to a power source via a main switch 12 and relays 13A, 13B in series therewith, and door switches 14A, 14B are connected to the excitation circuits of the relays 13A, 13B. (ON when the cab side doors 4A and 4B are open, and OFF when the cab side doors are closed), the controller 15 is inserted in series.

The controller 15 has internal contacts on the power supply side and the door switches 14A and 14B side, and based on an input signal from a raindrop sensor 16 that detects waterdrops such as rain on the wind deflector 1, when waterdrops are not detected. It opens the internal contact and also closes the internal contact when a water drop is detected.

In FIG. 2, since the drive circuits of the air cylinders 6A and 6B have the same configuration (however, the controller 15, the raindrop sensor 16 and the main switch 12 use a common one), the drive circuit on one side will be described for convenience. Omits drawing.

With such a configuration, the internal contact of the controller 15 is closed by the detection signal of the raindrop sensor 16 in case of rain, so that when the cab side doors 4A and 4B are opened with the main switch 12 turned on. When the door switches 14A and 14B are turned on, the relays 13A and 13B are closed and the solenoid valves 10A and 10B are operated. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the piston rods 7A, 7B of the air cylinders 6A, 6B are expanded by receiving the air pressure from the solenoid valves 10A, 10B, so that the eaves plates 2A, 2B in the wind deflector 1 are mounted on the vehicle. It is pulled out to the side in the shape of a horizontal wing, and forms an eave above the entrance / exit of the cab side doors 4A and 4B.

When the cab side doors 4A and 4B are closed from this state, the door switches 14A and 14B are turned off, so that the relays 13A and 13B are opened and the solenoid valves 10A and 10B are de-energized. Since the piston rods 7A and 7B of 6B contract while exhausting the air pressure from the solenoid valves 10A and 10B, the eaves plates 2A and 2B are located inside the wind deflector 1 from the slits 3A and 3B of the side surfaces 8A and 8B. Will be returned to.

On the other hand, when the raindrop sensor 16 does not detect a waterdrop, such as in fine weather, the internal contacts of the controller 15 remain open, so that even if the cab side doors 4A and 4B are opened and closed, the air cylinders 6A and 6B will be covered by the eaves plate 2A. , 2B are housed in the wind deflector 1 and held in a stopped state.

In this case, since the space inside the wind deflector 1 is effectively used as a storage space for the eaves plates 2A and 2B, the eaves plates 2A and 2B when not in use are completely hidden from the outside by the wind deflector 1. As a result, the appearance can be properly secured in a smart storage state. Further, since the eaves plates 2A and 2B are projected to the side surfaces 8A and 8B of the wind deflector 1, the eaves plates 2A and 2B are less likely to interfere with getting in and out of the wind deflector 1 from the height position.

Further, in addition to the door switches 14A and 14B, a raindrop sensor 16 or the like is provided so that the eave plates 2A and 2B in the wind deflector 1 automatically come in and go out only when necessary in rainy weather. When the cab side doors 4A, 4B are opened / closed when it is not necessary, such as in fine weather, the eaves plates 2A, 2B project above the door, and the air pressure in the air tank 9 is wasted. Can also be prevented.

The main switch 12 can also be used as an operation switch for the eaves plates 2A and 2B with the cab side doors 4A and 4B open, such as in the case of rain.

[Effect of device]

 In summary, according to the present invention, in a vehicle having a wind deflector on a cab roof, an eaves plate that can be pulled out from the side surface of the wind deflector to the side of the vehicle and a storage position in the wind deflector are provided. Since an actuator that moves the wind deflector to the side of the wind deflector and at least an operation switch that controls the drive of the actuator are provided, the eaves are automatically driven above the door from the side surface of the wind deflector by driving the actuator. Can be formed.

In addition, since the space inside the wind deflector is effectively used as a storage space for the eaves plate, in addition to the space advantage, the eaves plate when not in use is smartly stored, that is, it has a good appearance. You can secure it well. Moreover, since the eaves plate is projected to the side of the side surface of the wind deflector, it is possible to obtain the effect that it does not hinder the passengers getting on and off when in use even from the height position of the wind deflector.
