Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

  The present invention relates to a generator transfer vehicle for dynamically transferring an internal combustion engine drive generator to a target location in an emergency such as a disaster.

Technical background

  In the event of a power failure in a decentralized village due to an earthquake, wind and snow damage, etc., there is an increasing demand for emergency response in which the emergency generator is flexibly transferred to an intended location for emergency response.

  Conventionally, the emergency generators deployed in disaster prevention warehouses such as local governments are generally moved by trucks, etc., as a means of transporting them to their destinations. Therefore, it was difficult to move the generator flexibly. In addition, specialized power supply vehicles have been deployed at the bases, making it difficult to respond to the demand for emergency and distributed emergency generators.

  On the other hand, although it is not intended for emergency use, a technology related to a self-propelled generator that self-propelledly moves a generator as an auxiliary power source for light work is known (for example, Patent Documents). 1).

According to this prior art, it is a unicycle mechanism for carrying a load or assisting a person's walk for the purpose of local limited use in a field in a mountainous area, and is steered by a person's walk. Because it is a unicycle, the load capacity is limited and the capacity of the generator to be mounted is of course small.
JP-A-5-85362

  The prior art self-propelled generator is not intended to transfer an emergency power generator in an emergency, and from the technical configuration limited to the unicycle, it is a normal propulsion vehicle. It is difficult to transfer the generator to a place that exceeds the walking range, and the capacity of the installed generator is limited to a small one, and there is a great restriction on the use as a power source in the event of an emergency. It was.

  In view of the problems of the conventional invention, the inventor of the present invention invented a generator transfer vehicle that dynamically transfers a generator driven by an internal combustion engine of approximately 3 KVA or more that supplies electricity of 100 V / 200 V in the event of an emergency. It came to do.

  That is, the invention of claim 1 of the present application includes a vehicle frame 10 that can be mounted with an internal combustion engine-driven generator 00 that supplies 100V / 200V AC electricity as a power source, an electric motor 20 mounted on the vehicle frame 10, and an electric motor 20 A generator transfer vehicle comprising two or more wheels 30 driven by electric power, a fuel tank 40, an inverter control device 50, a steering mechanism 60, and a seat portion 70. The generator 00 for transfer is a vehicle frame. 10 is connected to the fuel supply pipe from the fuel tank 40 and electrically connected to the electric motor 20 via the inverter control device 50. The electric motor 20 supplies driving force to the wheels 30 to generate power. When the machine 00 is started, it is possible for a driver who is on the seat 70 to move by the inverter control device 50 and the steering mechanism 60. The machine is a transfer for the vehicle.

  As described above, the generator transfer vehicle according to the present invention allows the emergency generator to move flexibly to the target location by the electric power using the power of the generator, regardless of the freight vehicle for transportation. A generator transfer vehicle that can be transferred can be provided.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing the basic configuration of the invention of claim 1 of the present application.
The emergency generator is driven by an internal combustion engine to generate power and can be used as a 100V / 200V AC power source. In practice, it is desirable that the generator has a capacity of 3 KVA or more.

  The vehicle frame 10 is preinstalled with an electric motor 20, wheels 30 that are driven by electric power of the electric motor 20, a fuel tank 40, an inverter control device 50, a steering mechanism 60, and a seat portion 70. 00, the fuel supply pipe from the fuel tank 40 is connected, and the motor 20 and the inverter control device 50 are electrically connected to form a generator transfer vehicle.

  When the generator 00 is an existing product on the market, most of the generator 00 includes a fuel tank 40, an inverter control device 50, and a peripheral device such as an exhaust gas silencer for an internal combustion engine that drives the generator 00. In this case, the size of the casing is often large.

  Therefore, in the invention of claim 1 of the present application, the internal combustion engine that drives the fuel tank 40, the inverter control device 50, or the generator 00 to the vehicle frame 10 within a range that does not impair the components required as the generator 00. Peripheral devices such as the exhaust gas silencer can be arbitrarily arranged more compactly.

  The inverter control device 50 disposed in the vicinity of the steering mechanism 60 mounted on the vehicle frame 10, for example, the handle grip portion, etc., adjusts the voltage of the generator 00 and supplies it to the motor 20. The vehicle frame 10 can be propelled by driving two or more wheels 30 suspended on the vehicle frame. The electric motor 20 can be a direct current type or an alternating current type. When the direct current type is used, the alternating current electricity of the generator 00 is rectified and supplied to direct current electricity by the inverter control device 50.

  When the generator 00 is started, the operator gets on the seat section 70, operates with the inverter control device 50 and the steering mechanism 60, and moves to the target location with the vehicle frame 10 on which the generator 00 is mounted. Can do. In the generator transfer vehicle of the present application, since the driving control of the wheels 30 by the steering mechanism 60 and the inverter control device 50 becomes simpler and easier, the two-wheeled vehicle is allowed as long as the scale of the generator 00 for transfer is allowed. It is desirable that

  As a method of driving the wheel 30 by the electric motor 20, the electric motor 20 is attached to the axle portion of the wheel 30 in addition to a method of driving the wheel 30 by a chain drive method or a belt drive method, or a method of driving the wheel 30 by a shaft drive method. Arbitrary driving methods such as a method of arranging and driving by a direct motor method can be selected.

  The wheels 30 are suspended directly on the vehicle frame 10 or via the steering mechanism 60, and it is desirable that the suspension mechanism is naturally provided with a vibration damping mechanism for traveling on the road. However, the method is not limited to the method in which the suspension mechanism of the wheel 30 is provided with the vibration damping mechanism, and a method in which the vibration damping mechanism is provided in the seat portion 70 or the mounting portion of the generator 00 is also selected.

  The generator transfer vehicle of the present application should be provided as a vehicle traveling on a public road or the like, or a vibration damping mechanism, a braking mechanism (brake), an exhaust / silencer mechanism of an internal combustion engine, lighting / security, etc. Peripheral mechanisms such as equipment are not unnecessary, but because the main purpose is to transfer the generator in an emergency, etc., it is desirable to have a simpler mechanical mechanism configuration, as long as it is allowed as a whole It is desirable to select a simple one.

The present invention is not limited to the above description, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention described in the claims, and they are also included in the scope of the present invention. Not too long.
