DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a truck storage structure and a panel member set.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Trucks are usually provided with a storage section separate from a loading bed. For example, a seat table installed above a cab for storing a seat (hood), a below-floor storage box installed below the floor on a side of the loading table for storing a long baggage holder or tools. .

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above-mentioned conventional storage section is
It is common to adopt a structure in which a frame is formed from a shaped steel bar or a steel bar and a steel plate is stretched on the frame, and there has been a problem that it is heavy and easily rusted. By the way, in recent years, a panel member made of an aluminum (also simply referred to as aluminum) alloy is often used for a swing and a wing of a truck. For this reason, there are differences in materials and surface treatments between the tilting and the like and the storage section, which has been a factor that hinders the improvement of the design of the entire truck. Since the tilt and the like constitute a flat surface as a whole, the corners of the storage section cannot be beautifully finished even if the above-mentioned panel member, which is a constituent material thereof, is used as it is.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to enable a wall and a corner of a storage section to be formed by a connection structure mainly composed of a panel member.

[0005]

To this end, the following truck storage structure has been created. That is, according to the present invention, in a storage portion of a truck having a wall formed by connecting a plurality of long panel members in the width direction of the panel member, a side edge of the panel member is connected to an adjacent panel member. A mating engagement portion and an insertion groove for inserting a connecting member applied to both panel members adjacent to each other into the panel member are formed, and at least one of the panel members is The panel member is characterized in that it is bent so that a corner portion can be formed by holding the panel members connected to both sides of the panel member at a predetermined angular position so that the panel surfaces intersect. In addition, the wall body mentioned here may constitute not only the peripheral wall of a storage part but the bottom.

In the above-mentioned storage portion structure, when a plurality of panel members are connected in the width direction to form a wall, a corner portion (for example, a corner formed by a bottom surface and a side surface) is incorporated by incorporating a bent panel member. ) Can be treated with good appearance, and the wall (that is, the portion forming the bottom surface or side surface) can be set to a desired size by adjusting the number of connected flat panel members. . As described above, since the same member as that used for the tilt and wing can be used for the panel member, the design is unified and the appearance is improved. Further, since these members are usually made of aluminum, they can contribute to weight reduction.

A panel member set according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a flat panel member having a substantially flat panel surface and formed to be connectable to each other, and forming a corner portion by connecting to the flat panel member. And a connecting member for connecting the respective panel members to each other. A side edge of each of the panel members has an engaging portion for engaging with an adjacent panel member, and an engaging portion for engaging with the adjacent panel member. An insertion groove for inserting the connecting member applied to the panel member over substantially the entire length of the panel member is formed.

In the above-mentioned panel member set, the corner portions of the bent wall (panel) can be formed simply and with good appearance by interposing the corner panel members between the flat panel members, and the panel members can be formed with good appearance. By adjusting the number of connections, the flat portion of the wall can be easily set to a desired size.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.
A description will be given based on FIG. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a truck including a storage unit according to the embodiment. In the truck 1 shown in the figure, a seat table 2 as a storage section is provided above a cab 1a, and a storage box 20 as a storage section is also provided below the floor of a loading platform 1b. This seat table 2 is for storing sheets to be covered on a load, and is a support section 1 of a torii 1c provided at the front end of the load table 1b.
d so as to overhang above the cab 1a. The other storage box 20 is used to store long luggage holders and tools.

First, the seat table 2 according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the seat base 2, and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the seat base 2. As shown in both figures, the seat base 2 is composed of left and right supports 3 and 4 fixed to the support portion 1d of the torii 1c, and a wall 5 supported by the supports 3 and 4.

The support 3 is formed by welding an equilateral angle steel (so-called angle material) 3a, 3b, 3c and a flat steel (so-called flat bar) 3d to a shape shown by welding, and a light metal such as an aluminum alloy. A side plate 3e is attached with rivets 3f, and the base end of the frame is fixed to the support portion 1d by an appropriate means such as a bolt. The support 4 is opposite to the support 3 (symmetrical shape).
Therefore, the description is omitted only by assigning the numbers of the constituent members. The supports 3 and 4 can use a light metal material instead of a steel material.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the wall 5 is formed by connecting long panel members 5A to 5E formed by extruding a light metal material such as an aluminum alloy into a hollow block shape via a connecting member 6. It is configured to be connected in the width direction. Among them, the panel members 5A, 5C, 5D, 5E (also referred to as flat panel members) are flat panel surfaces (face walls).
On the other hand, the panel member 5B (also called a corner panel member) has a shape in which the panel surface is bent,
The connection structures for connecting mutually adjacent panel members are all the same. In the case of this example, as described in detail below,
Engaging portions 7A, 7B for allowing the panel members to engage with each other are provided on the side edges of the panel members 5B, 5C, 5D.
And insertion grooves 8A and 8B into which the connecting member 6 applied to the panel member can be inserted approximately half each. The panel member 5A used at one end of the connection is provided with the engaging portion 7B and the insertion groove 8B only at one side edge, and the panel member 5E used at the other end of the connection is provided at one side edge. Only the portion is provided with an engagement portion 7A and an insertion groove 8A.

First, the engaging portions 7A and 7B will be described by taking a panel member 5D as an example. As shown in FIG. 5, the panel member 5D has a shape in which face walls 5a and 5b are connected to side walls 5c and 5d by connecting ribs 5e. Protrusion 7 on one side wall 5c
a is provided, and a groove 7b having a shape into which the ridge 7a can be fitted is recessed in the other side wall 5d. Also,
At the corner formed by the face wall 5b and the side wall 5c, a projection 7c and a recess 7d are formed in a shape that is uneven in the direction perpendicular to the face wall 5b (the thickness direction of the panel member 5D), and the corner formed by the face wall 5b and the side wall 5d. A protrusion 7e and a recess 7f are formed in the portion so as to be uneven in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the surface wall 5b.
That is, the engaging portion 7A is configured by the ridge 7a, the protruding portion 7c, and the concave portion 7d, and the engaging portion 7B is configured by the groove 7b, the protruding portion 7e, and the concave portion 7f. The engaging portions 7A and 7B can be engaged with each other. Note that a groove 5f is formed on the side wall 5c to make it easier to place the adhesive.

Next, the insertion grooves 8A and 8B will be described. The insertion groove 8A has a contact surface 8a parallel to the surface wall 5a near a corner formed by the surface wall 5a and the side wall 5c, and a projection 8b formed into a shape uneven in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the surface wall 5a. , A concave portion 8c, and a protrusion 8d and a concave portion 8e formed in a shape uneven in the direction along the surface of the face wall 5a. On the other hand, the insertion groove 8B is formed so that the projection 8h and the recess 8i are uneven in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the face wall 5a, and the projection 8j and the recess 8k are formed in the same shape as the projection 8d and the recess 8e in reverse. This is a configuration formed in the orientation. 8f is a groove for facilitating the mounting of the adhesive.

By the way, as can be seen from FIG. 4, the panel member 5C has a shape in which the width of the panel member 5D is reduced. The panel members 5A and 5E are used at the end of the connection, and are provided with one of the engaging portions 7A and 7B,
One of the insertion grooves 8A and 8B is formed. And the panel member 5B is shown in FIGS. 4 and 6,
The face walls 5h and 5i are bent in a V shape. In this case, the panel member on the other side is raised by about 45 ° with respect to the panel member connected to one side of the panel member 5B so that the panel surfaces intersect. The opening angle of both edges of the panel member 5B is set to 135 °. In addition, 5k in the figure is a connecting portion for reinforcing the bent portion, and the engaging portions 7A and 7B described above.
And insertion grooves 8A and 8B.

Next, the connecting member 6 to be inserted into the insertion grooves 8A and 8B will be described. The connecting member 6 is formed by molding a light metal such as an aluminum alloy into an elongated shape as shown in FIG. 7, and is adapted to be simultaneously fitted into the insertion grooves 8A and 8B of the adjacent panel members. That is, a contact portion 6a that contacts the contact surface 8a (see FIG. 5) of the panel member extends in the longitudinal direction of the connecting member 6, and a concave portion 6b and a protrusion are provided on both sides of the contact portion 6a. 6c and 6d and the stepped portion 6e are formed symmetrically. On one side of the connecting member 6 (approximately half of the right side in FIG. 7), the projection 8b of the panel member fits into the recess 6b, and the projection 6c fits into the recess 8c.
The protrusion 6d fits into the recess 8e, and the stepped portion 6e engages with the protrusion 8d. On the other hand, on the other side (substantially half of the left side in FIG. 7), the projection 8h of the panel member fits into the recess 6b,
c fits into the recess 8i, the protrusion 6d fits into the recess 8k,
The stepped portion 6e is adapted to engage with the projection 8j. The outer groove 6f has a height at which the head of the rivet described below is just hidden, so that the head of the rivet does not protrude, which is convenient.

Next, the connection of the panel members 5A to 5E will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 8, panel members to be connected (here, 5C and 5B) are arranged, and an appropriate amount of the adhesive 9 is placed in the groove 5f so as to be raised.
A and 7B are engaged. At this time, the adhesive 9 is provided in the groove 5f.
Since the protruding portion is sandwiched between the side walls 5c and 5d and pushed out, not only does the bonding prevent rattling of the connecting portion to increase rigidity, but also functions as a sealing material for preventing rainwater or the like from entering. I do. Thus, both panel members 5C and 5B
When the engaging portions 7A and 7B of the
Since the positions of A and 8B are determined, the connecting member 6 can be easily inserted over the entire length of the panel member.
The connection state at this time is shown in FIG. This connecting member 6
Can be inserted and removed in the longitudinal direction, but firmly connects the panel members, and does not come off even when subjected to an external force perpendicular to the panel surface. Before the connecting member 6 is inserted, an appropriate amount of the adhesive 9 may be placed in the groove 8f (see FIG. 5) so as to be raised to prevent rattling. After insertion, appropriate retaining means are taken. In this example, the connecting member 6 is fixed by hitting the rivets 10 at intervals of 1 m to 2 m. The wall body 5 formed by connecting the panel members 5A to 5E in this manner is mounted on the supports 3 and 4 with reference to FIG. 3, and then fixed with appropriate fastening means, for example, rivets 3h.

As described above, the flat panel members 5A,
A wall member 5 is formed by a panel member set including 5C, 5D, 5E, a corner panel member 5B, and a connecting member 6, and the wall member 5 forms a bottom portion and a front wall portion of the seat base 2. Then, the corner portion is processed with good appearance by the corner panel member 5B, and the desired size can be easily formed by appropriately adjusting the number of connections of the flat panel members 5A, 5C, 5D, 5E. You can do it. This seat base 2
Has a shape in which one corner of the seat base is greatly chamfered by connecting the corner panel member 5B to two places, so that the wind received on the front surface of the seat base 2 during traveling easily flows backward.

By the way, the explanation of the tilt provided in the loading platform 1b is omitted, but the flat panel member can be used for the constituent members of the tilt and wing, so that the cost can be reduced by the common use of the members and the cost can be reduced. Thus, the design is unified, and the design of the truck 1 is improved. Also, since the panel member is made of aluminum,
The weight can be reduced as compared with the conventional steel-made one.

Next, a storage box 20 according to a second embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 10, the storage box 20 includes left and right supports 21 and 22 fixed to the chassis of the truck 1 and a wall 23 supported by the supports 21 and 22. This storage box 20 is obtained by adding a rear wall 24 of the box to the above-mentioned seat table 2.
Other configurations are almost the same. That is, the support 2
The rear wall portion 24 is smaller than the support members 3 and 4 described above.
The rear support members 21a and 22a for fixing the wall member are added (see FIG. 10), and the wall body 23 is configured by adding the rear wall part 24 to the above-described wall body 5 as shown in FIG. It has become. In this example, the rear wall portion 24 is formed by two panel members 5D, but the above-described panel members 5A to 5A are used.
E can be used in appropriate combination.

Therefore, the storage box 20 has the same function and effect as the above-mentioned seat table 2, and the design of the truck 1 can be further enhanced. In addition, it is needless to say that the present invention can be carried out in modes in which various changes are made based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art, in addition to the above embodiments.

[0022]

As described above in detail, in the truck storage section structure and the panel member set according to the present invention, the flat panel member and the bent panel member are connected in the width direction to form the corner portion. The formed wall can be formed simply and with good appearance. In addition, since it becomes possible to use the same member as that used for tilting and wings for a flat panel member, it is possible to improve the design of the truck by unifying the design.
