Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a tank car equipped with side panels.

For tank cars, for example,
As shown in Publication No. 16, various configurations have been devised, but tank vehicles, in which a tank body is generally fixed to a vehicle body member, are designed to be suitable for all usage conditions.

However, in the event of a vehicle overturning due to a collision with another vehicle, etc., it is necessary to have a structure that prevents the tank from being damaged and the cargo being spilled out.

Particularly if the cargo in the tank is fuel or a chemical liquid that must be handled with care, precautions must be taken to prevent the cargo from spilling out.

In order to prevent such problems from occurring, the present invention is to provide a side panel for protection and shock absorption on the side of the tank. A cross-sectional tank body is fixedly installed, and a side panel is erected almost perpendicularly to the side edge of the vehicle body member, and is bent inward at approximately the same height as the center of the tank body to extend horizontally. The end of the cap is connected to the side of the tank body.

Next, the detailed structure will be explained with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

In this tank car, the body of the tank body 1 has a circular or elliptical cross section.

The twisted vehicle body member 2b, from the upper surface 3a of the cross member 3 to the end surface 3b
It is formed by extending a floor 4 having ribs arranged in parallel in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body.

The bracket 5 welded to the lower side of the tank body 1 and the vehicle body member 2 are connected by a U-shaped mounting bracket 6.

The upper cover 1 provided on the upper part of the shredded tank body 1 is equipped with an inlet for tank cargo, an alarm, and a measuring device.
A transfer portion 2a is formed at the rear of the tank to receive the tank cargo.

Now, the lower edge 8a of the side panel 8 is fixed to the side edge 2b of the vehicle body member 2.

That is, the lower end 8a of the side panel 8 is fixed to the bent end 4a of the floor 4 stretched over the end surface 3b of the cross member 3 by means of mounting screws 9.

The side panel 8 extends upward from a lower edge 8a fixed to the side edge 2b of the vehicle body member 2 to form an almost vertical upright portion 8b, which is approximately the same as the center of the tank body 1 fixed to the vehicle body member 2. It is bent inward at a substantially right angle along a bent portion 8c at a height, and a horizontal portion 8d extends therefrom.

On the other hand, a bracket 10 is welded to a side portion of the tank body 1 at approximately the same height as the center portion, and a horizontal portion 8d of the side panel 8 is fixed to the bracket 10 with a mounting screw 11.

Therefore, when this tank car overturns due to a collision or the like, the side panel 8 comes into contact with the ground, but since the side panel 8 is supported by the tank body 1 and the vehicle body member 2, it protects the tank body 1 and absorbs the impact. It becomes a buffering member for the tank body 1, and does not damage the tank body 1.
There will be no leakage of the cargo in the tank.

Further, since the upper part of the side panel 8 forms a horizontal part 8d, a worker can ride on this horizontal part 8d when pouring cargo into the tank, and it is used effectively.

As mentioned above, in the present invention, a side panel is provided on the vehicle body member to cover the lateral lower half of the tank body, and serves as a protection and buffer member for the tank body when the vehicle rolls over. It is designed to serve as a workbench during injection.

Furthermore, since the side panel covers the lower half of the tank body, it has various features such as a sacell that improves the appearance of this tank vehicle despite its simple structure.
