Abstract
Description
以下、図1~図6に基づいて、本発明の実施形態1に係る台車10の説明を行う。本実施形態に係る台車10は、自動車等を構成する部品を荷台部11に載置し、進行方向に複数台連結された状態で図示しない牽引車両によって牽引されることで進行するいわゆる部品台車である。なお、図中の前後左右及び上下は、台車10の進行方向の一方を前方と定義し、その反対方向を後方と定義した場合の、前後左右及び上下に対応している。
本実施形態に係る台車10は、図1~図3に示すように、重量物を載置できるように構成されている荷台部11と、前記荷台部11の下面に取付けられている左右二組(4台)の自在キャスタ14(14f,14f及び14r,14r)と、同じく左右二組(4台)の固定キャスタ15(15f,15f及び15r,15r)とを備えている。台車10同士は、連結部13を介することで前後方向に複数台連結できるように構成されている(図1では2台連結した構造を図示している)。連結している複数台の台車10,10,10,……のうち、最前の台車10fの前端部と最後の台車10rの後端部とには、操作部12が設けられている。操作部12は、図示しない牽引車両と連結できるように構成されており、台車10は操作部12の位置で牽引されることで進行する。
自在キャスタ14は、図1,2に示すように、荷台部11の前端部と後端部とに、それぞれ2つずつ左右一組で並んで取付けられ、後記する固定キャスタ15を前後から挟むように配置されている。自在キャスタ14は、図3に示すように、車輪141と、前記車輪141を転動可能に支持する車輪中心146を有する車輪架台142とを備えている。車輪架台142の上面147には、回転中心軸144Aが上面147に対して直角に突出形成されている。そして、この回転中心軸144Aが取付け部143の傾斜面148に対して直角に通されることで、自在キャスタ14の車輪架台142の上面147が傾斜面148と面接触した状態で、取付け部143に対して取付けられている。取付け部143には、回転中心軸144Aに対する適宜の軸受け構造(図示しない)が設けられており、自在キャスタ14は、回転中心軸144Aの回転軸心144を中心に回転自在な状態となっている。即ち、回転軸心144は、図3に示すように、荷台部11に対して所定角度(例えば、10度)で傾斜している状態となっている。より具体的には、前側の自在キャスタ14fは、該前側の自在キャスタ14fの回転軸心144が荷台部11から下方に向かうにつれて前方(前方向下方)に傾斜した状態になるように、設けられている。一方、後側の自在キャスタ14rは、該後側の自在キャスタ14rの回転軸心144が荷台部11から下方に向かうにつれて後方(後方向下方)に傾斜した状態になるように、設けられている。自在キャスタ14の車輪架台142は、車輪中心146が回転軸心144よりも半径方向外側に位置するように偏心した状態になっている。したがって、自在キャスタ14の車輪141が走行面からの抵抗を受けて車輪架台142が向きを変える際、車輪架台142が回転軸心144を中心に回転すると、車輪架台142の上面147と取付け部143の傾斜面148とが摺動して、図3の実線と2点鎖線とで示すように、車輪架台142の姿勢が変更されて、車輪中心146の位置が上下方向に移動する。これにより、自在キャスタ14の車輪141の接地点145が高さ位置Hと高さ位置Lとの間で変動する。高さ位置Hは、後記する固定キャスタ15の車輪151の接地点155の高さ位置よりも高くなるように設定されており、高さ位置Lは、低くなるように設定されている。
固定キャスタ15は、図1~3に示すように、キャスタ固定部18の下面に対して取付けられている。固定キャスタ15は、図2に示すように、自在キャスタ14よりも左右方向外側の位置で、荷台部11の左端部と右端部とにそれぞれ進行方向に沿って前後に2つ並んだ状態で配置されている。このうち、前側の固定キャスタ15fは、図2,3に示すように、荷台部11の中央位置よりも前端部に近い位置に設けられており、後側の固定キャスタ15rは、荷台部11の中央位置よりも後端部に近い位置に設けられている。固定キャスタ15は、図3に示すように、車輪151と、前記車輪151を転動可能に支持する車輪中心156を有する車輪架台152とを備えており、取付け部153によって回転不能な状態に固定されている。
次に、本実施形態に係る台車10が進行するときの自在キャスタ14及び固定キャスタ15の動作について説明する。図1に示すように、前後方向に連結している状態の台車10のうち、最前の台車10fの操作部12を牽引して前進させると、台車10の前側の自在キャスタ14fが走行面Fからの摩擦力(抵抗)を受ける。これにより、自在キャスタ14fの車輪架台142は、車輪中心146が荷台部11の傾斜部品17に対して後方に移動するように向きを変える。即ち、前側の自在キャスタ14fの車輪架台142は、その車輪架台142の回転中心軸144Aの回転軸心144を中心に回転して姿勢が変わり、図3の実線で示すように、その車輪中心146が下方に移動する。これにより、前側の自在キャスタ14fの車輪141の走行面Fに対する接地点145は、固定キャスタ15の車輪151の接地点155よりも低い高さ位置Lとなり、図5に示すように、接地している状態になる。
本実施形態に係る台車10は、台車10が進行する際に、進行方向前側に設けられた自在キャスタ14の車輪141の走行面Fに対する接地点145が固定キャスタ15の車輪151の接地点155よりも低い状態(高さ位置L)になり、進行方向後側に設けられた自在キャスタ14の車輪141の走行面Fに対する接地点145が固定キャスタ15の車輪151の接地点155よりも高い状態(高さ位置H)になる。このため、どちらの方向に台車10を進行させたとしても、常に、進行方向前側では自在キャスタ14が接地している状態となり、進行方向後側では固定キャスタ15が接地している状態にすることができる。これにより、台車10の前進時、後進時の両方でカーブ走行ができるようになり、台車10の使い勝手が良くなる。よって、台車10の進行方向を前後逆転させた場合でも、使い勝手が悪くならない。また、自在キャスタ14の車輪架台142が回転して姿勢を変えることにより、車輪中心146が下方に移動する構成であるため、構造が簡単で信頼性が高い。また、特別な駆動源も不要になるため、コストが高くならない。また、先頭の台車10がカーブするように進行したときに、後続の台車10は荷台部11の進行方向端部の位置で舵が切れるようになる。これにより、先頭の台車10と後続の台車10との間でカーブ走行時に生じる内輪差を小さくすることができる。また、荷台部11にかかる荷重を進行方向前後に広い面積で支持できるようになる。
以下、図7~図9に基づいて、本発明の実施形態2に係る台車50の説明を行う。本実施形態に係る台車50は、実施形態1に係る台車10の固定キャスタ15を設置するための構造を改造したものであり、その他の構造については、実施形態1に係る台車10と同様である。このため、実施形態1に係る台車10と同一部材については同一番号を付して説明を省略する。
本発明の形態を上記構造を参照して説明したが、本発明の目的を逸脱せずに多くの交代、改良、変更が可能であることは当業者であれば明らかである。したがって本発明の形態は、添付された請求項の精神と目的を逸脱しない全ての交代、改良、変更を含み得る。例えば本発明の形態は、前記特別な構造に限定されず、下記のように変更が可能である。
