Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for changing the attitude of an automobile body, which is capable of arbitrarily changing the attitude of an automobile body in order to facilitate a worker in the dismantling work of an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-152097, a plurality of holding members for holding a plurality of portions of an automobile body are attached, and the automobile body can be held so as to straddle the vehicle width direction. A vehicle body holding frame, and a support body that supports the vehicle body holding frame so as to be rotatable around an axis in the vehicle length direction of the vehicle body so that the vehicle body can be changed to a rollover posture by rotating the vehicle body holding frame. Although known devices are known, they are configured as stationary devices that place the support in place.

[0003]

When dismantling an automobile body, it is required to separate and collect various parts and materials for recycling. To this end, the dismantling location of the automobile body must be determined for each part and material. It is desirable to perform disassembly in order while moving the vehicle body to each location, but when using a stationary attitude change device as in the above-described conventional example, the attitude change device is provided for each location. It needs to be arranged, and the equipment cost increases.

[0004] In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for changing the attitude of an automobile body, which is suitable for dismantling work and has low equipment costs.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems,
The present invention provides a vehicle body holding frame having a plurality of gripping members for gripping a plurality of portions of a vehicle body, extending in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle body, and a body holding frame rotatable around an axis in a vehicle length direction of the vehicle body. A forklift provided in the forklift, and a detachable connecting portion is provided on the fork lift frame provided on the forklift.

According to the present invention, by connecting the connecting portion of the support to the fork lift frame of the forklift, the vehicle body can be moved to various places by the forklift and changed in posture while being held by the body holding frame. This eliminates the need to install a posture changing device for each location, and reduces equipment costs.

In addition, the vehicle body can be held on the vehicle body holding frame by raising and lowering the lifting frame for a forklift, and the vehicle body receiving operation can be easily performed, thereby improving workability.

The vehicle body holding frame may be formed so as to straddle the vehicle body in the vehicle width direction, or may be formed into a shape that can be inserted from the vehicle width direction below the floor of the vehicle body.

Heretofore, almost no window glass for automobiles has been recovered. However, since glass can be recycled as a heat insulating material for houses and the like, separate collection of window glass for automobiles is desired. In this case, if the vehicle body holding frame has a shape that straddles the vehicle body in the vehicle width direction, a hammer member that faces the window of the vehicle body can be provided on the vehicle body holding frame. According to this, the window glass is crushed by the hammer member, and the window glass can be collected safely and efficiently, which is advantageous.
