Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention relates to a rain gutter installed in the head guard of an industrial vehicle such as a forklift, and particularly relates to a device for preventing clogging of the drain part of the rain gutter. It is something.

[Prior Art] In an industrial vehicle, for example, a forklift 1 as shown in FIG. 3, a head guard 2 is provided to enable outdoor work in rainy weather. Rain sheet 4
This prevents rain from directly hitting the driver. In addition, the overhead frame body part 3
A rain gutter 6 is welded to the front side edge and the rear side edge, respectively, so that rainwater on the rainscreen sheet 4 flows into the rain gutter 6. As clearly shown in FIG. 4, a drain port 7 is bored in one corner of the bottom of each rain gutter 6, and a head guard pillar 5 is attached to a steel drain pipe 8 that is welded to the drain port 7 and extends downward. By connecting a flexible drain hose 9 extending through the rain gutter 6, rainwater in the rain gutter 6 can be discharged to the outside of the vehicle body.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in the case of industrial vehicles, dirt, stones, fallen leaves, and other debris tend to accumulate in the rain gutters installed in the head guards, and the conventional technology described above There was a problem in that dirt could flow into the drain port, drain pipe, or drain hose, causing the drain section to become clogged.

This invention aims to solve these problems.

[Means for solving the problem] This invention consists of a bracket that is installed across the top of the drain opening of the rain gutter and has a hole drilled coaxially with the drain opening, and a bracket that can be detached from the top surface of the bracket. It consists of a mounting plate that is attached to the mounting plate, and a filter member whose upper end is fixed to the lower surface of the mounting plate and a filter is formed at the lower end.When the mounting plate is attached to the bracket by passing the filter member through the hole in the bracket, the filter member This device features a gutter clogging prevention device for industrial vehicles in which the lower end surrounds the drain opening to block debris.

[Function] In the rain gutter drain part clogging prevention device according to this invention described above, the filter member prevents dirt from flowing into the drain part, and since the filter member is easy to attach and detach, cleaning of the filter member is also easy. It's becoming easier to do.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the rain gutter drain clogging prevention device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Note that the same or equivalent parts as in the conventional configuration will be described using the same reference numerals.

FIG. 1 shows the area around the drain opening 7 of the rain gutter 6. As shown, legs 11 are provided at both ends.
A steel bracket 10 having a bracket 10 formed thereon is welded onto the bottom surface of the rain gutter 6 so as to straddle the drain port 7. A hole 13 having a diameter larger than the diameter of the drain port 7 is provided coaxially with the drain port 7 in a horizontal portion 12 of the bracket 10 extending above the drain port 7.

A mounting plate 14 to which a cylindrical filter member 16 is welded is removably mounted on the upper surface of the horizontal portion 12 of the bracket 10. The mounting plate 14 is made of spring steel and is mounted along each side edge of the bracket 10 by engaging the side edge of the bracket 10, as shown clearly in FIG. An engagement piece 15 for fixing the plate 14 is formed. This engaging piece 15 has a substantially S-shape in which the upper part is curved outward and the lower part is curved inward. When the mounting plate 14 is pressed from above the bracket 10, the inside of the lower part of the engaging piece 15 When the curved portion touches the side edge of the bracket 10 and is pushed out, and the mounting plate 14 is pushed further, the upper outward curved portion of the engagement piece 15 engages and grips the side edge of the bracket 10. It's becoming like that. Conversely, the mounting plate 1 attached to the bracket 10
When 4 is pulled up with a certain force or more, engaging piece 1
5 can be pushed apart from side to side, making it possible to remove it. The engagement piece 15 that allows the attachment plate 14 to be easily attached to and detached from the bracket 10 is
It goes without saying that there are various types other than the illustrated embodiment.

The filter member 16 welded to approximately the center of the lower surface of the mounting plate 14 has an inner diameter larger than the diameter of the drain port 7 and an outer diameter larger than the diameter of the bracket 10.
The diameter of the hole 13 is smaller than that of the hole 13. Further, a plurality of notches 17 smaller than the drain port 7 are formed in the lower part of the filter member 16. This filter member 16 is arranged so as to pass through the hole 13 of the bracket 10 and surround the drain port 7 when the mounting plate 14 is attached to the bracket 10 (FIG. 2). At this time, the lower end surface of the filter member 16 may be slightly separated from the bottom surface of the rain gutter 6 as shown, but it may also be in contact with the bottom surface. In addition, in this embodiment, the notch 17 is provided as a filter, but a filter with many small holes,
Various configurations are possible, such as a configuration in which a net is stretched over the notch or hole.

In the rain gutter drain clogging prevention device according to this invention, rainwater and relatively small debris are trapped in the notch 1 of the filter member 16.
7, and is discharged to the outside of the vehicle body through a drain port 7, a drain pipe 8, and a drain hose 9. On the other hand, large debris is dammed up by a filter member 16.

Furthermore, if dirt has adhered around the filter member 16 and cleaning is required, the filter member 16 can be removed from the rain gutter 6 by removing the mounting plate 14 from the bracket 10 and removed from the vehicle body. Cleaning can be done at a distance. After cleaning, to install the filter member 16 in a predetermined position, pass the filter member 16 through the hole 13 of the bracket 10, press the mounting plate 14 against the bracket 10, and press the engaging piece 15 into the bracket 1.
It is only necessary to engage 0.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, according to this invention, not only can clogging of rain gutters be prevented, but also maintenance is easy because the filter member can be easily attached and detached, and the filter member can be easily removed by using the bracket. Since it is protected, there is less risk of damage even if it is hit by stones or transported materials.
