Description

DESCRIPTION

Expandable truck compartment

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention, as the title establishes, is an extendable compartment for trucks, which allows the space of the vehicle cabin to be enlarged. It is an innovation that within current techniques provides advantages unknown until now.

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention belongs to the vehicle sector, specifically to vehicles with at least four or more wheels, which are used to transport large loads.

The present invention refers to an extensible compartment for trucks, which allows the space of the cabin of the vehicle itself to be enlarged.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although there are systems and elements to expand the interior space of a vehicle, such as motorhomes, at least by the applicant, the existence of none with technical characteristics is unknown. structural and constitutive equal or similar to those presented by the one claimed here.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The strenuous days behind the wheel of truck drivers are combined with loneliness, lack of privacy, lack of cleanliness or even proper nutrition and after spending hours behind the wheel the lucky ones can rest in their own cabin, however this results in a very small, uncomfortable and barely habitable space.

There is a need to be able to expand this space without increasing the dimensions of the vehicle itself, for this it is common to have a gap between the cab of the truck and the trailer, which facilitates the turning of the trailer in curves, however once parked it can be taken advantage of.

For this reason, the object of the present invention is an extensible compartment for trucks, which allows the space of the vehicle cabin to be expanded by means of a plurality of mechanisms that allow the rear part of the cabin to be extended as far as possible without colliding with the trailer while it is parked. .

This compartment provides more interior space so that the driver can rest comfortably, allowing the installation of several amenities, such as a larger bed, kitchen utensils and appliances for cooking, as well as even a small toilet that the driver can use to wash up as a small shower. or toilet.

It is also envisioned that the vehicle cabin moves forward on the traction carriage while the space at the rear of the cabin is extended.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures, a preferred embodiment is described below, although not limiting the proposed invention, which consists of an extendable compartment for trucks. As can be seen in the figures, the extensible compartment for trucks comprises a compartment (1) located inside the cabin (2), preferably located at the rear of said cabin (2), which is configured so that when the vehicle is parked or at rest, it allows, by means of extension means (3), to move the passenger compartment (1) out of the cabin (2) automatically.

By means of guiding means (4) the passenger compartment (1) slides inside the cabin (2), until it is exposed to the outside. In other embodiments, the passenger compartment (1) slides outside the cabin (2).

The extensible compartment for trucks comprises at least one sensor (5) that is configured to detect the maximum permitted extension distance of the passenger compartment (1) without colliding with the trailer (6) of the vehicle or other elements.

In other embodiments, displacement means (7) are included that are configured to move the entire cabin (2) of the vehicle on the traction carriage (8) towards the front, leaving sufficient space between the rear of the cabin (2) and the trailer (6), which allows the passenger compartment (1) to be extended without colliding with the trailer (6).

Additionally, depending on the embodiment, the extensible compartment for trucks comprises support means (9) that are configured to support the passenger compartment (1) so that it rests on the vehicle, or on the surrounding ground.

Claims (4)

1. Extendable compartment for trucks, characterized by comprising a compartment (1) preferably located at the rear of the cabin (2) of a vehicle with at least four or more wheels, which are used to transport large loads, is configured so that With the vehicle parked or at rest, it allows, by means of extension means (3), to move the passenger compartment (1) towards the outside of the cabin (2) and guide means (4), enlarging the interior space of the cabin ( two). 2. Extendable compartment for trucks according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises at least one sensor (5) that is configured to detect the maximum permitted extension distance of the passenger compartment (1) without colliding with the trailer (6) of the vehicle or other elements. 3. Extendable compartment for trucks according to claims 1 and 2, characterized in that it comprises movement means (7) that are configured to move the entire cabin (2) of the vehicle on the traction carriage (8) towards the front, leaving enough space between the rear of the cabin (2) and the trailer (6) to allow the passenger compartment (1) to extend without colliding with the trailer (6). 4. Extendable compartment for trucks according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that it comprises support means (9) that are configured to support the compartment (1) so that it rests on the vehicle, or on the surrounding ground.
