Next, operation | movement of the load receiving table raising / lowering apparatus 1 comprised in this way is demonstrated.
[0040]
As shown in FIG. 2, in a state where the load receiving platform 5 is disposed at the storage position A, the operator first pulls the load receiving platform 5 to the rear of the load box 2. Thereby, in the load receiving platform 5, the second guide roller provided at the base end of the base end side load receiving member 51 moves along the slide rail 21, and the first guide roller 42 moves along the guide groove 55a. Thus, it is arranged at the work position B protruding rearward of the packing box 2.
[0041]
When the load receiving platform 5 is slid from the storage position A to the working position B in this manner, both sides of the load receiving platform 5 are moved against the guide rail 21 by the action of the two sets of tuning wires 11 and 12 constituting the tuning mechanism 10. It slides in synchronization with the left and right without shifting back and forth. Thereby, the load receiving stand 5 can be smoothly slid through the first guide roller 42 and the second guide roller.
[0042]
Next, the front end side load receiving member 52 of the load receiving platform 5 folded at the work position B is rotated rearward so that the proximal end side load receiving member 51 and the front end side load receiving member 52 are deployed horizontally. Thereafter, the lifting cylinder 7 is expanded and contracted, and the slider 4 is moved up and down along the support column 3 through the wire 6, so that the load receiving platform 5 connected to the slider 4 is placed between the ground and the floor surface of the packing box 2. Thus, the cargo is loaded and unloaded between the ground and the cargo box 2 through the cargo receiving platform 5.
[0043]
When the cargo loading / unloading operation is completed, the cargo receiving platform 5 is folded by the operation reverse to the above-described operation, and the bag is placed in the storage position A by being pushed downward from the rear of the cargo box 2. Also at this time, the receiving mechanism 5 can be smoothly slid through the first guide roller 42 and the second guide roller and placed in the storage position A by the synchronization mechanism 10.
[0044]
By storing the load receiving platform 5 in the front and rear two in the folded state in the front and rear in this manner, the storage space before and after the rear lower portion of the load box 2 for storing the load receiving platform 5 is stored. 5 can be reduced by the amount of folding. For this reason, due to the reduction of the storage space, it is possible to mount on a small truck that could not be mounted due to space limitations.
[0045]
Further, since the tail lamp 91 and the number plate 92 are embedded in the rear surface of the cross member 8 and the height positions of the tail lamp 91 and the number plate 92 are increased, the load receiving base 5 is folded by this amount. Even when the vertical width is increased, this thickness can be absorbed, and thereby the ground height of the load receiving platform 5 at the time of storage can be ensured more than before.
[0046]
Although the present embodiment has been described with reference to a case in which the load receiving platform 5 is configured to be folded in two, the load receiving platform 5 is not limited to being folded in two, and may be configured to be folded in three or more.
[0047]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the load receiving table lifting apparatus of the present invention, the load receiving stand is configured to be foldable at least two in the front and rear, and is stored in the state that the load receiving stand is folded and horizontally moved under the load box. With this configuration, the front and rear storage spaces below the rear part of the packing box for storing the load receiving table can be reduced by the amount of folding of the load receiving table. For this reason, due to the reduction of the storage space, it is possible to mount on a small truck that could not be mounted due to space limitations.
[0048]
In addition, the tail lamp and number plate are embedded in the rear surface of the cross member disposed between the pair of left and right columns, so that the rear lower part of the cargo box is lower than that provided under the cross member as in the past. It is possible to increase the ground height of the receiving stand that is stored in the container.
