Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an entrance/exit device for a vehicle, particularly a vehicle, and more particularly to a vehicle entrance/exit device for a broadcast relay van or a bus.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in entrance/exit devices for vehicles such as broadcasting relay vans, buses, etc., the doors are usually folded in two and vertically divided into two parts, a right door wall and a left door wall. The walls are interconnected with hinges, the other side of one door wall is connected to the vehicle body with a hinge, and the door is folded inward to open the doorway.

Such a conventional vehicle entrance/exit device will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. FIG. 5 is a left side view of a broadcast relay vehicle equipped with the above-mentioned conventional vehicle entrance/exit device. In FIG. 5, 1 is the vehicle body, and 2 is the door of the vehicle entrance/exit device.

FIG. 6 is a partially transparent perspective view of the entrance/exit device equipped with the door 2 shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view with the door in a folded state. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the door 2 in such a conventional vehicle entrance/exit device has the following structure:
Normally, the left door wall 2' and the right door wall 2'' are vertically divided into two parts and connected to each other by a hinge (not shown). Push inwards or
By pulling it inward, the vehicle body 1 is folded inward into two pieces as shown by the arrow in FIG. 6, and the entrance is opened. In FIGS. 6 and 7, 3 and 3' are steps used when going up and down, and 4 is the floor of the vehicle.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional vehicle entrance/exit device described above, due to the opening/closing mechanism of the door 2, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7,
When opening the entrance/exit, in order to allow the movement of the door 2, the floor area must be reduced by steps 3 and 3' between the floor 4 and the door 2, reducing the effective floor area. The problem was that I couldn't get it.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an entrance/exit device for a vehicle that eliminates such conventional problems, eliminates the above-mentioned reduction in the effective floor area of a vehicle, and makes it possible to utilize a wide range of floor space with a simple configuration and operation. It is about providing.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a vehicle entrance/exit device including a door hinged to the vehicle body.
The door is made to open outward, and a storage box is provided under the vehicle floor below the entrance/exit door.The wall facing the outside of the vehicle is used as a cover plate of the storage box, and the lower edge of this cover plate is connected to the storage box or This is an entrance/exit device for a vehicle that is hinged to the vehicle body and doubles as a step for going up and down.

According to the invention, the above-mentioned door is vertically divided into a plurality of light walls, preferably into a left door wall and a right door wall, and each light wall is connected to each other by a hinge so that the door can be opened. Make sure it is open.

[Function 1] By having the above-described configuration of the vehicle entrance/exit device of the present invention, when opening the entrance/exit, the door can be opened outward, thereby eliminating the need for the inside of the vehicle, which was conventionally required to open the door. It can be widely used by preventing a reduction in the occupied floor area, that is, the effective floor area, and can also be used as a step for lifting and lowering, such as a cover plate for a storage box installed under the floor, and the storage box itself can be used for storing items. can.

[Example] The present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 with regard to an example.

FIG. 1 is a left side view of a broadcast relay vehicle equipped with an entrance/exit device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the door of the entrance/exit device in a closed state, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view with the door open. , FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which it can be raised and lowered, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 3.

1 to 4, 1 is a vehicle body, 2 is a door of an entrance/exit device, and 3 is a lid plate and lifting step for a storage box 5 (described later). As shown in FIG. 2, n2 is vertically divided into a left door wall 2' and a right door wall 2'', and both door walls 2' and 2'' are interconnected by a hinge (not shown). The other side of the left door wall portion 2' is connected to the vehicle body 1 by a hinge 6. 7 is a door handle that serves as a lock opening/closing device provided on the right door wall 2''; 8
is a handle of a lock opening/closing device provided on the step 3 which also serves as a lid plate of the storage box 5. When the door 2 is opened and moved up and down, the door 2 is folded in two and moved to the side where the hinge 6 is left, as shown in FIGS. It is tilted forward by a hinge 9 connected to the lower edge of the vehicle body 1 and held horizontally by a stay 10 such as a chain or cylinder. Reference numeral 5 denotes a storage box used as a container for various things, as described above, and this storage box 5 is provided under the floor 4 of the vehicle main body 1. At this time, the storage box 5 may be provided with a clay wall 5' as shown in FIG. 3, but this may be omitted and the floor 4 may be replaced with this upper wall 5'. Further, the above-described step 3 which also serves as a cover plate is an outer wall of the vehicle main body 1 for this reason. Note that 11 is a handrail for getting on and off the vehicle.

Next, the operation of the vehicle entrance/exit device of the above embodiment will be explained. In the above embodiment, when a person wants to go up or down the vehicle, he or she first unlocks the door using the door handle 7 provided on the right door wall 2'' and pulls it toward the front, that is, toward the outside with respect to the vehicle body 1. As shown in Figure 3, the door 2 is folded into two pieces and folded to the left side of the figure to open the entrance/exit.Next, the handle 8 of the lock opening/closing device provided on the cover plate/step 3
By releasing the lock and pulling it forward in the same way, the stay 10 is pulled down until it is fully extended and protrudes.In this way, the cover plate acts as a step, allowing a person to go up and down.

When moving the vehicle, the above operation may be reversed to close the door 2 and the step 3 which also serves as a cover plate. 3-1 is a embedding step, in which when the handle 7 cannot be reached, one foot is placed here so that the handle 7 can be reached.

In the above embodiment, door 2 is the left door wall? ' and right door wall 2
'', but this may be divided into three or more if necessary.

Further, in the above embodiment, the vehicle is exemplified as an entrance/exit device for a broadcast relay vehicle, but it is clear that this can also be applied to a bus.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above embodiments, since the entrance is folded to open outward, it is safe for people who are outside the vehicle because the protruding door can be made smaller. Furthermore, unlike conventional entrance/exit devices, the effective floor area within the vehicle can be expanded. Furthermore, since the storage box is provided under the floor, shoes, slippers, and other small items can be stored here, and the lid of this storage box can be used as a step for going up and down.
