Description

車体水冷装置Body water cooling system
　本発明は、車両の車体を水冷する技術に関する。 The present invention relates to a technique for water cooling a vehicle body of a vehicle.
　車両が夏期の炎天下に長時間駐車されると、日光を受け続けた車体が高温になる。これにより車室が高温状態となり、乗員が車室に入ったときに不快を覚える。このような事態を回避するべく、車体を冷却するための各種の技術が提案されている。 When the vehicle is parked for a long time under the summer sun, the body that has continued to receive sunlight gets hot. As a result, the passenger compartment becomes hot and feels uncomfortable when the occupant enters the passenger compartment. In order to avoid such a situation, various techniques for cooling the vehicle body have been proposed.
　例えば特許文献１には、車体の屋根に設置されるタンクから成る車体加熱防止冷却器が記載されている。このタンクは、その下面に小さな穴が形成されており、該タンクに水を貯留しておくと、タンク内の水が穴から流れ出て、車体が水冷されるようになっている。 For example, Patent Document 1 describes a vehicle body heat prevention cooler composed of a tank installed on the roof of the vehicle body. This tank has a small hole formed on its lower surface, and when water is stored in the tank, the water in the tank flows out of the hole and the vehicle body is water-cooled.
実開昭６３－３０２４６号公報Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 63-30246
　車体の全体をムラ無く十分に冷却するためには、車体の屋根の全面に満遍なく水を接触させることが必要である。そのためには、例えば、車体の屋根と同じ形状およびサイズのタンクを準備し、その下面に複数個の穴を均等に分布するように形成して、各穴から水を流出させればよい。ところが、車体の屋根の形状およびサイズは様々であり、各車体の屋根に合った形状およびサイズのタンクを製造しようとすると、多品種少量生産となるために製造コストを抑えることが難しくなる。 In order to sufficiently cool the entire vehicle body evenly, it is necessary to make the water uniformly contact the entire surface of the roof of the vehicle body. For that purpose, for example, a tank having the same shape and size as the roof of the vehicle body may be prepared, and a plurality of holes may be formed on the lower surface of the tank so as to be evenly distributed, and water may flow out from each hole. However, the shape and size of the roof of a vehicle body are various, and when it is going to manufacture the tank of the shape and size which fitted the roof of each vehicle body, it becomes difficult to hold down manufacturing cost, since it becomes a multi-product small amount production.
　本発明は、上記の課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、製造コストを抑えつつ、様々な形状およびサイズの車体を十分に冷却できる車体水冷装置を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle body water cooling device capable of sufficiently cooling a vehicle body of various shapes and sizes while suppressing the manufacturing cost.
　上記課題を解決するために成された本発明は、
　車体の屋根に設置される車体水冷装置であって、
　所定の単位形状であって、タンク貫通孔が形成された底板を有する、複数のユニットタンクと、
　前記複数のユニットタンクを、該複数のユニットタンクが前記屋根の形状およびサイズに対応する領域を占めるような配置で一体的に支持する支持部材と、
を備える。 The present invention made to solve the above problems is
A water cooling system installed on the roof of the vehicle body,
A plurality of unit tanks having a predetermined unit shape and having a bottom plate in which tank through holes are formed;
A support member integrally supporting the plurality of unit tanks in such an arrangement that the plurality of unit tanks occupy an area corresponding to the shape and size of the roof;
Equipped with
　上記の構成において「単位形状」とは、車体の屋根の形状およびサイズとは無関係に規定される一定の形状およびサイズである。「単位形状」として、複数種類の形状や複数種類のサイズが規定されてもよい。車体水冷装置が備える複数のユニットタンクは、全てが同じ単位形状であってもよいし、複数種類の単位形状が混在していてもよい。 In the above configuration, the “unit shape” is a constant shape and size defined independently of the shape and size of the roof of the vehicle body. A plurality of types of shapes or a plurality of types of sizes may be defined as the “unit shape”. The plurality of unit tanks provided in the vehicle body water cooling device may all have the same unit shape, or a plurality of unit shapes may be mixed.
　この車体水冷装置は、これが車体の屋根に設置されると、各ユニットタンクに充填された水がその底板に設けられたタンク貫通孔を通って車体の屋根に漏出し、これにより、車体が冷却される。ここでは、複数のユニットタンクが支持部材により一体的に支持された構成となっているので、ユニットタンクの配置態様（配置個数、配置のレイアウト）を変更するだけで、様々な形状およびサイズの車体に対応することができ、その屋根をほぼ均等に冷却することができる。ユニットタンクは、車体の屋根の形状およびサイズとは無関係に規定される所定の単位形状であるため大量生産することができ、製造コストを効果的に抑えることができる。 When the vehicle body water cooling device is installed on the roof of the vehicle body, the water filled in each unit tank leaks to the roof of the vehicle body through the tank through holes provided on the bottom plate, thereby cooling the vehicle body Be done. Here, since a plurality of unit tanks are integrally supported by the support member, vehicle bodies of various shapes and sizes can be obtained simply by changing the arrangement mode (number and arrangement of unit tanks). The roof can be cooled almost evenly. The unit tank can be mass-produced because it is a predetermined unit shape defined regardless of the shape and size of the roof of the vehicle body, and the manufacturing cost can be effectively suppressed.
　好ましくは、前記車体水冷装置において、
　前記支持部材が、複数のタンク配置領域と各タンク配置領域の所定位置に形成された外側貫通孔を有する平板を備え、
　前記平板上の前記タンク配置領域に前記ユニットタンクが配設される。 Preferably, in the vehicle water cooling system,
The support member includes a flat plate having a plurality of tank arrangement areas and an outer through hole formed at a predetermined position of each tank arrangement area.
The unit tank is disposed in the tank disposition area on the flat plate.
　この構成では、ユニットタンク内の水は、その底板に設けられたタンク貫通孔から漏出した後、平板の外側貫通孔を通過して車体の屋根に漏出する。この構成によると、支持部材の構成を簡易なものとすることができる。 In this configuration, the water in the unit tank leaks from the tank through hole provided in the bottom plate and then leaks to the roof of the vehicle body through the outer through hole of the flat plate. According to this configuration, the configuration of the support member can be simplified.
　好ましくは、前記車体水冷装置は、
　前記支持部材が、複数のタンク配置領域と各タンク配置領域の所定位置に形成された外側貫通孔を有する底板と、内部に流体を注入するための注入口を有する天板とを備えた、前記複数のユニットタンクが内部に収容される収容容器から構成され、
　前記複数のユニットタンクの各々が、
　内部に流体を流入させるためのユニットタンク側流入口、
を備える。 Preferably, the vehicle water cooling system
The support member includes a bottom plate having a plurality of tank arrangement areas and an outer through hole formed at a predetermined position of each tank arrangement area, and a top plate having an inlet for injecting a fluid therein. It is composed of a storage container in which a plurality of unit tanks are stored inside,
Each of the plurality of unit tanks is
Unit tank side inlet for fluid flow into the inside,
Equipped with
　この構成によると、収容容器に設けられた注入口から水を注入すると、その内部に収容された各ユニットタンクのユニットタンク側流入口から該ユニットタンクの内部に水が流入し、これにより各ユニットタンクに水が充填される。すなわち、複数のユニットタンクのそれぞれに対する水の注入が一度で済む。 According to this configuration, when water is injected from the inlet provided in the storage container, the water flows into the inside of the unit tank from the unit tank side inlet of each unit tank housed therein, whereby each unit The tank is filled with water. That is, only one injection of water is required for each of the plurality of unit tanks.
　好ましくは、前記車体水冷装置において、
　前記複数のユニットタンクの各々が、
　前記タンク貫通孔から水が漏出する状態と漏出しない状態を切り換える切換手段、
を備える。 Preferably, in the vehicle water cooling system,
Each of the plurality of unit tanks is
Switching means for switching between a state in which water leaks from the tank through hole and a state in which water does not leak from the tank through hole
Equipped with
　この構成によると、車体の水冷が不要なときは全てのユニットタンクからの水の漏出を停止することで、ユニットタンク内の水の無駄な消費を防止することができる。また、各ユニットタンクからの水の漏出／非漏出を独立に切り換えることができるので、車体を部分的に水冷する、といった使用態様が可能となる。 According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent wasteful consumption of water in the unit tank by stopping leakage of water from all unit tanks when water cooling of the vehicle body is unnecessary. Further, since the leakage / non-leakage of water from each unit tank can be switched independently, it is possible to use the vehicle in such a way as to partially cool the vehicle water.
　好ましくは、前記車体水冷装置において、
　前記切換手段が、
　前記ユニットタンクの内部を上下に仕切る、連通口が形成された仕切板と、
　前記連通口に設けられた開閉弁装置と、
を備える。 Preferably, in the vehicle water cooling system,
The switching means is
A partition plate having a communication port formed therein for dividing the inside of the unit tank into upper and lower parts;
An on-off valve device provided in the communication port;
Equipped with
　この構成によると、仕切板に形成された連通口の開閉を切り換えることで、ユニットタンクにおける仕切板の下方空間への水の流入／非流入（ひいては、底板に形成されたタンク貫通孔からの水の漏出／非漏出）を切り換えることができる。ここでは、仕切板の連通口を閉鎖した後、仕切板の下方空間に貯留されていた水がなくなるまでは、タンク貫通孔から水が漏出し続ける。仕切板を底板に近接して設けた場合、連通口を閉鎖するのとほぼ同時にタンク貫通孔からの水の漏出が停止する。一方、仕切板を底板から離して設けた場合、連通口を閉鎖した後も暫くはタンク貫通孔からの水の漏出が続行し、所定時間が経過した後にその漏出が停止する。つまり、ユニットタンク内における仕切板を配設する高さによって、連通口を閉鎖してからユニットタンクからの水の漏出が実際に停止するまでの応答時間を適宜に規定することができる。 According to this configuration, by switching the opening and closing of the communication port formed in the partition plate, the inflow / non-inflow of water into the lower space of the partition plate in the unit tank (thus, water from the tank through hole formed in the bottom plate) Leakage / non-leakage) can be switched. Here, after the communication port of the partition plate is closed, water continues to leak from the tank through hole until the water stored in the space below the partition plate is exhausted. When the partition plate is provided close to the bottom plate, the leakage of water from the tank through hole is stopped substantially at the same time as closing the communication port. On the other hand, when the partition plate is provided apart from the bottom plate, leakage of water from the tank through hole continues for a while after closing the communication port, and the leakage stops after a predetermined time has elapsed. That is, depending on the height at which the partition plate is disposed in the unit tank, it is possible to appropriately define the response time until the leakage of water from the unit tank is actually stopped after the communication port is closed.
　好ましくは、前記車体水冷装置において、
　前記開閉弁装置が、
　前記連通口に進入することにより該連通口を閉鎖する栓部材と、
　前記栓部材が前記連通口に進入した状態と該連通口から退出した状態を切り換える操作部材と、
を備える。 Preferably, in the vehicle water cooling system,
The on-off valve device is
A plug member for closing the communication port by entering the communication port;
An operation member that switches between a state in which the plug member is in the communication port and a state in which the plug member is out of the communication port;
Equipped with
　好ましくは、前記車体水冷装置において、
　前記連通口が円形状であり、
　前記栓部材がボール状であり、
　前記操作部材が、前記栓部材を支持するための円形の支持用貫通孔が形成された板部材であって、一端側が前記ユニットタンクの外側に配置され、前記ユニットタンクの壁面に形成されたスリット内を挿通されて他端側が前記仕切板の上方に配置されている。 Preferably, in the vehicle water cooling system,
The communication port is circular,
The plug member is ball-shaped,
The operation member is a plate member having a circular support through hole for supporting the plug member, one end of which is disposed outside the unit tank, and a slit formed on a wall surface of the unit tank The inside is penetrated and the other end side is arranged above the partition plate.
　この構成においては、操作部材が、これに形成されている支持用貫通孔が、仕切板に形成されている連通口と重なるような位置に配置されると、栓部材が連通口に進入した状態（すなわち、連通口が栓部材で塞がれた状態）となる。この状態から、使用者が、ユニットタンクの外側に突出している操作部材の一端を掴んでこれを引き出す（あるいは差し込む）と、支持用貫通孔およびその上に支持されている栓部材が連通口から外れた位置となる。すなわち、栓部材が、連通口から退出した状態（すなわち、連通口が開口した状態）となる。この構成によると、開閉弁装置を簡易な構成とすることができる。 In this configuration, when the operating member is disposed at a position where the supporting through hole formed in the operating member overlaps the communication port formed in the partition plate, the plug member enters the communication port In other words, the communication port is closed by the plug member. From this state, when the user grasps one end of the operation member projecting to the outside of the unit tank and pulls out (or inserts) it, the support through hole and the plug member supported thereon are connected from the communication port It becomes the position which deviated. That is, the plug member is in a state of being withdrawn from the communication port (that is, in a state in which the communication port is open). According to this configuration, the on-off valve device can be simplified.
　好ましくは、前記車体水冷装置において、
　前記タンク貫通孔が、下方にいくにつれて縮径する逆円錐台形状である。 Preferably, in the vehicle water cooling system,
The tank through hole has an inverted truncated cone shape whose diameter decreases as it goes downward.
　この構成によると、タンク貫通孔から漏出する水の流れを穏やかにすることが可能となり、ユニットタンク内の水を、時間をかけて少しずつ車体に供給することができる。 According to this configuration, it is possible to moderate the flow of water leaking from the tank through hole, and the water in the unit tank can be supplied to the vehicle body little by little over time.
　好ましくは、前記車体水冷装置において、
　前記ユニットタンクが、
　前記底板の下面側に設けられた保水部材、
をさらに備えることが好ましい。 Preferably, in the vehicle water cooling system,
The unit tank is
A water holding member provided on the lower surface side of the bottom plate,
It is preferable to further comprise
　この構成によると、貫通孔から漏出した水が、一旦、保水部材に保持され、ここで保持できなくなった余剰の水が車体へと漏出することになる。したがって、時間をかけて少しずつ車体に水を供給することができる。 According to this configuration, the water that has leaked from the through hole is temporarily held by the water holding member, and the excess water that can not be held here leaks to the vehicle body. Therefore, water can be supplied to the vehicle body little by little over time.
　また、本発明において、好ましくは、前記支持部材が、複数のタンク配置領域および各タンク配置領域の所定位置に形成された外側貫通孔を有する底板と、開口を有する天板とを備えた、前記複数のユニットタンクが内部に収容される収容容器から構成され、
　前記複数のユニットタンクの各々が、その内部に流体を注入するための注入口を備えており、
　前記複数のユニットタンクを前記収容容器の複数のタンク配置領域に配置したときに、該複数のユニットタンクの前記注入口が前記開口の下部に位置するように、前記注入口と前記開口が配置されている。 In the present invention, preferably, the support member includes a bottom plate having a plurality of tank arrangement areas and an outer through hole formed at a predetermined position of each tank arrangement area, and a top plate having an opening. It is composed of a storage container in which a plurality of unit tanks are stored inside,
Each of the plurality of unit tanks is provided with an inlet for injecting fluid therein;
The inlet and the opening are disposed such that when the plurality of unit tanks are disposed in the plurality of tank disposition areas of the storage container, the inlet of the plurality of unit tanks is positioned below the opening. ing.
　この構成では、ユニットタンクが収容容器内に収容されるため、ユニットタンクが日光や風雨にさらされることが無く、ユニットタンクの劣化を防止できる。また、収容容器が耐熱性を有する構成にすれば、ユニットタンクに貯留された水の温度が上昇することが防止されるため、車体の冷却効果が向上する。しかも、収容容器内に収容する構成であっても、収容容器の開口の下部にユニットタンクの注入口が位置するため、開口を通して注入口からユニットタンク内に容易に水を注入することができる。 In this configuration, since the unit tank is accommodated in the accommodation container, the unit tank is not exposed to sunlight or wind and rain, and deterioration of the unit tank can be prevented. In addition, when the container is configured to have heat resistance, the temperature of the water stored in the unit tank is prevented from rising, so that the cooling effect of the vehicle body is improved. And even if it is the structure accommodated in a storage container, since the inlet of a unit tank is located in the lower part of the opening of a storage container, water can be easily inject | poured into a unit tank from an inlet through an opening.
　上記構成においては、好ましくは、前記収容容器の前記開口に注入された水を、該収容容器内に収容されたユニットタンクの注入口に導く案内部材をさらに備える。
　この構成では、開口に注入した水を確実にユニットタンク内に流入させることができる。 In the above configuration, preferably, the apparatus further comprises a guide member for guiding the water injected into the opening of the container to the inlet of the unit tank housed in the container.
In this configuration, the water injected into the opening can reliably flow into the unit tank.
　この発明によると、複数のユニットタンクが支持部材により一体的に支持された構成となっているので、ユニットタンクの配置態様を変更するだけで、様々な形状およびサイズの車体に対応することができ、その屋根をほぼ均等に冷却することができる。また、ユニットタンクは、車体の屋根の形状およびサイズとは無関係に規定される所定の単位形状であるため大量生産することができ、製造コストを効果的に抑えることができる。 According to the present invention, since the plurality of unit tanks are integrally supported by the support member, it is possible to cope with vehicle bodies of various shapes and sizes only by changing the arrangement of the unit tanks. , The roof can be cooled almost evenly. In addition, since the unit tank is a predetermined unit shape which is defined irrespective of the shape and size of the roof of the vehicle body, it can be mass-produced, and the manufacturing cost can be effectively suppressed.

Here, a vehicle water cooling apparatus 100a mounted on a vehicle body 9a (see FIG. 1A) of a sedan type passenger car and a vehicle water cooling apparatus 100b mounted on a vehicle body 9b (see FIG. 1B) of a truck will be described as an example. Although both body water-cooling devices are different in shape and size, the basic configuration is common, so they will be described together. In the following description, the sides corresponding to the front, rear, left, and right of the vehicle body are defined as the front, rear, left, and right of the vehicle body water cooling devices 100a and 100b.
　図１Ａ、図１Ｂに示されるように、車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂは、車体９ａ，９ｂの屋根９１ａ，９１ｂに載置されて固定される。この固定はどのように成されてもよく、例えば、吸盤、シール等の粘着材、磁石による固定、ネジ止め、等を用いることができる。 As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the vehicle body water cooling devices 100a and 100b are placed and fixed on the roofs 91a and 91b of the vehicle bodies 9a and 9b. This fixing may be performed in any manner, and for example, an adhesive such as a suction cup or a seal, fixing by a magnet, screwing, or the like can be used.
　車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂは、複数のユニットタンク１と、これらを内部に収容する収容容器２ａ，２ｂを備える。ユニットタンク１は、乗用車やトラックなどの一般的な車体のサイズおよび形状に基づき設定された一定の形状およびサイズ（単位形状）とされており、具体的な車体９ａ，９ｂのサイズおよび形状とは無関係に規定される。つまり、ユニットタンク１は、サイズや形状が異なる様々な車体の車体９ａ，９ｂの各々に対応する車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂの間で共用される汎用部品である。一方、収容容器２ａ，２ｂは、車体９ａ，９ｂのサイズおよび形状に応じて規定される形状およびサイズとされており、各車体９ａ，９ｂに対応する車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂ毎に形成される専用部品である。 The vehicle body water cooling device 100a, 100b includes a plurality of unit tanks 1 and storage containers 2a, 2b for storing them inside. The unit tank 1 has a fixed shape and size (unit shape) set based on the size and shape of a general vehicle body such as a passenger car or a truck, and the specific size and shape of the vehicle body 9a, 9b It is defined irrelevantly. That is, the unit tank 1 is a general-purpose component shared between the vehicle water cooling devices 100a and 100b corresponding to the vehicle bodies 9a and 9b of various vehicle bodies having different sizes and shapes. On the other hand, the storage containers 2a and 2b have a shape and size defined in accordance with the size and shape of the vehicle bodies 9a and 9b, and are formed for each of the vehicle water cooling devices 100a and 100b corresponding to the vehicle bodies 9a and 9b. It is a dedicated part.
　＜１－１．ユニットタンク＞
　ユニットタンク１の構成について、図３を参照しながら説明する。図３は、ユニットタンク１を鉛直面で切断した断面図である。 <1-1. Unit tank>
The configuration of the unit tank 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the unit tank 1 cut along a vertical plane.
　ユニットタンク１は、筐体１０と、筐体１０からの流体（ここでは「水」。以下、水とする。）の漏出／非漏出を切り換える切換手段２０と、ユニットタンク１の下面側に設けられた保水部材３０と、を備える。 The unit tank 1 is provided on the lower surface side of the unit tank 1, a case 10, switching means 20 for switching leakage / non-leakage of fluid (herein, “water”, hereinafter referred to as water) from the case 10. And a water holding member 30.
　＜１－１－１．筐体＞
　筐体１０は、内部に水を入れておく直方体の容器であり、矩形状の天板１１、周壁１２、および、矩形状の底板１３が液密に接合されることにより構成されている。もっとも、筐体１０は、これら各部１１，１２，１３が一体的に成形されたものであってもよい。筐体１０の形成材料としては、合成樹脂等が好ましい。 <1-1-1. Case>
The housing 10 is a rectangular parallelepiped container for storing water inside, and is configured by liquid-tightly joining a rectangular top plate 11, a peripheral wall 12 and a rectangular bottom plate 13. However, the housing 10 may be one in which the respective portions 11, 12, 13 are integrally formed. As a forming material of the housing 10, a synthetic resin or the like is preferable.
　天板１１および周壁１２には、筐体１０の内部に水を流入させるための流入口１１１および４個の流入口１２１がそれぞれ設けられている。流入口１１１は、天板１１のほぼ中央に設けられている。流入口１２１は、周壁１２の４つの面の略中央にそれぞれ設けられている。また、周壁１２の所定の１つの面のうち流入口１２１よりも下部には、該面の幅方向に長いスリット１２２が形成されている。このスリット１２２には、後述する操作部材２２２が挿通される。 The top plate 11 and the peripheral wall 12 are provided with an inflow port 111 and four inflow ports 121 for allowing water to flow into the housing 10, respectively. The inlet 111 is provided substantially at the center of the top 11. The inlets 121 are provided substantially at the centers of the four surfaces of the peripheral wall 12. Further, a slit 122 which is long in the width direction of the peripheral wall 12 is formed in a lower part of the predetermined one surface of the peripheral wall 12 than the inflow port 121. An operation member 222 described later is inserted into the slit 122.
　底板１３には、筐体１０の内部から水を漏出させるための貫通孔（タンク貫通孔）１３１が形成されている。タンク貫通孔１３１は、下方にいくにつれて縮径する逆円錐台形状とされる。このタンク貫通孔１３１は、図示されるように、複数個形成されることが好ましい。また、複数のタンク貫通孔１３１は、底板１３の面内に均等に分布するように（例えば、マトリクス状に配置されて）形成されることが好ましい。 The bottom plate 13 is formed with a through hole (tank through hole) 131 for leaking water from the inside of the housing 10. The tank through-hole 131 has an inverted truncated cone shape whose diameter decreases as it goes downward. Preferably, a plurality of the tank through holes 131 are formed as illustrated. The plurality of tank through holes 131 are preferably formed (for example, arranged in a matrix) so as to be uniformly distributed in the plane of the bottom plate 13.
　＜１－１－２．切換手段＞
　切換手段２０は、タンク貫通孔１３１から水が漏出する状態と漏出しない状態を切り換える要素であり、仕切板２１と開閉弁装置２２を備える。 <1-1-2. Switching means>
The switching means 20 is an element that switches between a state in which water leaks from the tank through hole 131 and a state in which water does not leak from the tank through hole 131, and includes a partition plate 21 and an on-off valve device 22.
　仕切板２１は、ユニットタンク１の内部を上下に仕切る部材である。具体的には、仕切板２１は、ユニットタンク１の底板１３と略同一形状の板状部材であって、底板１３と平行な姿勢でユニットタンク１内に配置されて、仕切板２１の周縁部分の全体において周壁１２の内面に対して液密に固定される。ユニットタンク１内における仕切板２１を配設する高さは任意に規定することができるが、ここでは底板１３に非接触状態で近接して配置されるものとする。仕切板２１の形成材料としては、合成樹脂等が好ましい。仕切板２１には、その上方の空間（以下単に「上方空間」という）とその下方の空間（以下単に「下方空間」という）を連通させる開口（連通口２１１）が形成されている。 The partition plate 21 is a member that divides the inside of the unit tank 1 into upper and lower parts. Specifically, the partition plate 21 is a plate-like member having substantially the same shape as the bottom plate 13 of the unit tank 1 and disposed in the unit tank 1 in a posture parallel to the bottom plate 13. In the whole, it is liquid-tightly fixed with respect to the inner surface of the surrounding wall 12. The height at which the partition plate 21 is disposed in the unit tank 1 can be arbitrarily determined, but here, the height is assumed to be disposed close to the bottom plate 13 in a non-contact manner. As a forming material of the partition plate 21, a synthetic resin etc. are preferable. The partition plate 21 is formed with an opening (communication port 211) for communicating the upper space (hereinafter simply referred to as "upper space") with the space therebelow (hereinafter simply referred to as "lower space").
　開閉弁装置２２は、仕切板２１に形成された連通口２１１に設けられて、該連通口２１１を開状態と閉状態で切り換える要素であり、栓部材２２１と操作部材２２２を備える。 The on-off valve device 22 is provided at the communication port 211 formed in the partition plate 21 and switches the communication port 211 between the open state and the closed state, and includes the plug member 221 and the operation member 222.
　栓部材２２１は、連通口２１１に進入してこれを閉鎖する部材である。ここでは、連通口２１１は円形状であり、栓部材２２１は、連通口２１１の内直径よりも大きな寸法の直径を有するボール状の部材である。栓部材２２１は、例えばステンレス鋼等により形成される。 The plug member 221 is a member that enters the communication port 211 and closes it. Here, the communication port 211 is circular, and the plug member 221 is a ball-like member having a diameter larger than the inner diameter of the communication port 211. The plug member 221 is formed of, for example, stainless steel or the like.
　操作部材２２２は、栓部材２２１が連通口２１１に進入した状態と連通口２１１から退出した状態を切り換える部材である。具体的には、操作部材２２２は、ステンレス鋼等により形成される板状部材であり、その面内に、栓部材２２１を支持するための円形の支持用貫通孔２２２１が形成されている。支持用貫通孔２２２１の内直径は、栓部材２２１の外直径よりも小さく、かつ、連通口２１１の内直径よりも大きな寸法とされている。 The operation member 222 is a member that switches between a state in which the plug member 221 has entered the communication port 211 and a state in which the plug member 221 has exited from the communication port 211. Specifically, the operation member 222 is a plate-like member formed of stainless steel or the like, and a circular support through hole 2221 for supporting the plug member 221 is formed in the surface thereof. The inner diameter of the support through hole 2221 is smaller than the outer diameter of the plug member 221 and larger than the inner diameter of the communication port 211.
　操作部材２２２は、ユニットタンク１の周壁１２に形成されたスリット１２２内に挿通され、その一端側がユニットタンク１の外側に配置され、他端側がユニットタンク１内の仕切板２１の上方にこれと非接触状態で近接して配置される。使用者が、ユニットタンク１の外側から操作部材２２２の一端を把持して、これをユニットタンク１に対して抜き差しすることで、連通口２１１を開状態と閉状態で切り換えることができる。すなわち、操作部材２２２が、所定の長さだけユニットタンク１に差し込まれて、支持用貫通孔２２２１と連通口２１１が重なるような位置に配置されると、支持用貫通孔２２２１上に支持されている栓部材２２１が連通口２１１に進入した状態となり、連通口２１１が閉鎖される（図５Ａ）。この状態から、操作部材２２２が引き出されると、支持用貫通孔２２２１およびその上に支持されている栓部材２２１が連通口２１１から外れた位置となる。すなわち、栓部材２２１が連通口２１１から退出した状態となり、連通口２１１が開口する（図５Ｂ）。 The operation member 222 is inserted into the slit 122 formed in the peripheral wall 12 of the unit tank 1, one end side thereof is disposed outside the unit tank 1, and the other end side above the partition plate 21 in the unit tank 1 It is disposed close to each other in a noncontact manner. The user holds the one end of the operation member 222 from the outside of the unit tank 1 and inserts and removes the end from the unit tank 1 to switch the communication port 211 between the open state and the closed state. That is, when the operation member 222 is inserted into the unit tank 1 by a predetermined length and disposed at a position where the support through hole 2221 and the communication port 211 overlap, the support member 222 is supported on the support through hole 2221 The plug member 221 is in a state of entering the communication port 211, and the communication port 211 is closed (FIG. 5A). From this state, when the operation member 222 is pulled out, the support through hole 2221 and the plug member 221 supported thereon are at positions away from the communication port 211. That is, the plug member 221 is in a state of being withdrawn from the communication port 211, and the communication port 211 is opened (FIG. 5B).
　仕切板２１に設けられた連通口２１１が開状態とされると、上方空間から下方空間へ水が流入し、底板１３に形成されたタンク貫通孔１３１から水が漏出する。一方、仕切板２１に設けられた連通口２１１が閉状態とされると、上方空間から下方空間への水の流入が停止する。この実施形態では、仕切板２１は底板１３に近接して設けられており、下方空間の容積は小さい。したがって、連通口２１１が閉鎖されるのとほぼ同時にタンク貫通孔１３１からの水の漏出が停止されることになる。 When the communication port 211 provided in the partition plate 21 is opened, water flows from the upper space into the lower space, and the water leaks from the tank through hole 131 formed in the bottom plate 13. On the other hand, when the communication port 211 provided in the partition plate 21 is closed, the inflow of water from the upper space to the lower space is stopped. In this embodiment, the partition plate 21 is provided close to the bottom plate 13, and the volume of the lower space is small. Therefore, the leakage of water from the tank through hole 131 is stopped substantially at the same time as the communication port 211 is closed.
　なお、上記のとおり、操作部材２２２は仕切板２１に非接触状態で近接して配置されるため、連通口２１１を介してユニットタンク１の上方空間から下方空間へ水を速やかに流入させるためには、図５Ｂに示されるように、操作部材２２２が、連通口２１１の上方から完全に退避する位置まで引き出されることが好ましい。 Note that, as described above, the operation member 222 is disposed close to the partition plate 21 in a non-contact state, so that water is allowed to rapidly flow from the space above the unit tank 1 to the space below via the communication port 211. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 5B, the operating member 222 is pulled out from the upper side of the communication port 211 to a position where it is completely retracted.
　＜１－１－３．保水部材＞
　保水部材３０は、底板１３の下面側に、タンク貫通孔１３１の下端側の開口を塞ぐように設けられる。保水部材３０は水を保持することができる素材（具体的には例えば、織布、不織布、スポンジ、等）により形成されるものであり、タンク貫通孔１３１から漏出した水を吸収する。なお、保水部材３０は、図示されるように、底板１３の下面側を全体的に覆うものであってもよいし、各タンク貫通孔１３１の下端側の開口およびその周辺部分だけを覆うものであってもよい。 <1-1-3. Water holding member>
The water holding member 30 is provided on the lower surface side of the bottom plate 13 so as to close the opening on the lower end side of the tank through hole 131. The water holding member 30 is formed of a material (specifically, for example, a woven fabric, a non-woven fabric, a sponge, etc.) capable of holding water, and absorbs water leaked from the tank through hole 131. The water retaining member 30 may entirely cover the lower surface side of the bottom plate 13 as illustrated, or may cover only the opening on the lower end side of each tank through hole 131 and the peripheral portion thereof. It may be.
　＜１－２．収容容器＞
　収容容器２ａ，２ｂの構成について、図４Ａおよび図４Ｂを参照しながら説明する。図４Ａ、図４Ｂは、収容容器２ａ，２ｂを水平面で切断した断面図である。 <1-2. Containment container>
The configuration of the storage containers 2a and 2b will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B. FIGS. 4A and 4B are cross-sectional views of the storage containers 2a and 2b cut along a horizontal plane.
　収容容器２ａ，２ｂは、筐体４０を備える。筐体４０は、内部に水を入れておく直方体の容器であり、天板４１（図５Ａ参照）、周壁４２、および、底板４３が液密に接合されることにより構成される。筐体４０の形成材料としては、合成樹脂等が好ましい。 The storage containers 2a and 2b include a housing 40. The housing 40 is a rectangular parallelepiped container in which water is stored, and is configured by joining the top plate 41 (see FIG. 5A), the peripheral wall 42, and the bottom plate 43 in a liquid tight manner. As a forming material of the housing 40, a synthetic resin or the like is preferable.
　天板４１には、筐体４０の内部に水を注入するための注入口４１１が設けられている（図５Ａ参照）。注入口４１１は、キャップ４１２等で閉塞できるようになっている（図５Ａ参照）。 The top plate 41 is provided with an inlet 411 for injecting water into the housing 40 (see FIG. 5A). The inlet 411 can be closed with a cap 412 or the like (see FIG. 5A).
　周壁４２の所定位置には、ユニットタンク１の操作部材２２２を挿通させるためのスリット４２１が形成されている。スリット４２１の内側には、ここに操作部材２２２が挿通されたときにこれとスリット４２１の間から水が漏れ出ないようにシールするシール部材（例えばゴムパッキン）が設けられる。 At a predetermined position of the peripheral wall 42, a slit 421 for inserting the operation member 222 of the unit tank 1 is formed. Inside the slit 421, a seal member (for example, rubber packing) is provided to seal so that water does not leak from between the slit 421 and the slit 421 when the operation member 222 is inserted.
　底板４３は、車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂが設置される車体９ａ，９ｂの屋根９１ａ，９１ｂと略同一形状および略同一サイズの平板部材である。例えば屋根９１ａ，９１ｂにアンテナ等が設けられている場合、底板４３には、該アンテナ等と対応する位置に、これを収容する窪みなどが設けられることも好ましい。 The bottom plate 43 is a flat plate member having substantially the same shape and the same size as the roofs 91a and 91b of the vehicle bodies 9a and 9b on which the vehicle body water cooling devices 100a and 100b are installed. For example, when the roofs 91a and 91b are provided with an antenna or the like, it is also preferable that the bottom plate 43 be provided with a recess or the like at a position corresponding to the antenna or the like.
　底板４３には、ユニットタンク１が配置される複数の領域（タンク配置領域４３２）が設けられており、各領域４３２には１個以上（好ましくは、複数個）の貫通孔（容器貫通孔（本発明の外側貫通孔に相当））４３１が形成されている。底板４３に設けられるタンク配置領域４３２の個数、レイアウトは任意に規定することができる。例えば、乗用車のように、比較的大きな矩形状の屋根９１ａの場合、４個の直方体状のユニットタンク１がマトリクス状に配置されるように（図２Ａ）、底板４３には４個のタンク配置領域４３２が形成される。一方、トラックのように、比較的小さな矩形状の屋根９１ｂの場合、２個の直方体状のユニットタンク１が一列に並んで配置されるように（図２Ｂ）、底板４３には２個のタンク配置領域４３２が形成される。 The bottom plate 43 is provided with a plurality of regions (tank placement regions 432) in which the unit tank 1 is disposed, and each region 432 includes one or more (preferably, a plurality of) through holes (container through holes The outer through hole of the present invention) 431 is formed. The number and layout of the tank placement areas 432 provided on the bottom plate 43 can be arbitrarily defined. For example, as in a passenger car, in the case of a relatively large rectangular roof 91a, four tank arrangements are provided on the bottom plate 43 so that four rectangular unit tanks 1 are arranged in a matrix (FIG. 2A) Region 432 is formed. On the other hand, in the case of a relatively small rectangular roof 91b like a truck, two tanks are arranged on the bottom plate 43 so that two rectangular unit tanks 1 are arranged in a line (FIG. 2B). A placement area 432 is formed.
　複数のユニットタンク１は、底板４３のタンク配置領域４３２に配置されてネジ等を用いて固定される。これにより、底板４３には、複数のユニットタンク１が屋根９１ａ，９１ｂの形状およびサイズに対応する領域を占めるような配置で、載置される。 The plurality of unit tanks 1 are arranged in the tank arrangement area 432 of the bottom plate 43 and fixed using screws or the like. As a result, the plurality of unit tanks 1 are placed on the bottom plate 43 in an arrangement that occupies an area corresponding to the shape and size of the roofs 91a and 91b.
　底板４３のタンク配置領域４３２にユニットタンク１が固定されたとき、ユニットタンク１の底板１３のタンク貫通孔１３１と底板４３の容器貫通孔４３１は対向する。つまり、ユニットタンク１の底板１３のタンク貫通孔１３１と、収容容器２ａ、２ｂの底板４３の各タンク配置領域４３２に設けられた容器貫通孔４３１とは、その数と配置が同じとされている。 When the unit tank 1 is fixed to the tank arrangement area 432 of the bottom plate 43, the tank through hole 131 of the bottom plate 13 of the unit tank 1 and the container through hole 431 of the bottom plate 43 face each other. That is, the tank through holes 131 of the bottom plate 13 of the unit tank 1 and the container through holes 431 provided in the respective tank disposition areas 432 of the bottom plates 43 of the storage containers 2a and 2b are the same in number and arrangement. .
　＜２．製造態様＞
　車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂの製造態様について、図１Ａ～図４Ｂを参照しながら説明する。 <2. Production mode>
A production mode of the vehicle body water cooling apparatus 100a, 100b will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A to 4B.
　まず、複数個のユニットタンク１を製造する。ユニットタンク１は、車体９ａ，９ｂの屋根９１ａ，９１ｂの形状およびサイズとは無関係に規定される所定の単位形状であるため比較的安価に大量生産することができる。 First, a plurality of unit tanks 1 are manufactured. The unit tank 1 can be mass-produced relatively inexpensively because it has a predetermined unit shape defined regardless of the shapes and sizes of the roofs 91a and 91b of the vehicle bodies 9a and 9b.
　次に、車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂが設置される車体９ａ，９ｂの屋根９１ａ，９１ｂの形状およびサイズに応じた底板４３を準備する。この底板４３は、収容容器２ａ、２ｂに収容されるユニットタンク１の形状、サイズ、および配置に対応するタンク配置領域４３２を有し、各タンク配置領域４３２には容器貫通孔４３１が形成されている。そして、底板４３の各タンク配置領域４３２にユニットタンク１を配置し、各ユニットタンク１を底板４３に固定する。 Next, the bottom plate 43 is prepared according to the shape and size of the roofs 91a and 91b of the vehicle bodies 9a and 9b on which the vehicle body water cooling devices 100a and 100b are installed. The bottom plate 43 has a tank arrangement area 432 corresponding to the shape, size, and arrangement of the unit tank 1 accommodated in the accommodation containers 2a and 2b, and a container through hole 431 is formed in each tank arrangement area 432. There is. Then, the unit tank 1 is disposed in each tank disposition area 432 of the bottom plate 43, and each unit tank 1 is fixed to the bottom plate 43.
　続いて、底板４３に周壁４２を接合する。この際、各ユニットタンク１から突出する操作部材２２２が周壁４２に形成されたスリット４２１内を挿通した状態とする。その後、周壁４２に天板４１を接合する。これにより、複数のユニットタンク１を内部に収容した収容容器２ａ，２ｂが形成される。このとき、収容容器２ａ，２ｂ内の複数のユニットタンク１は、車体の屋根の形状およびサイズに対応する領域を占めるような配置で該収容容器２ａ，２ｂに支持される。
　以上で、車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂが完成する。 Subsequently, the peripheral wall 42 is joined to the bottom plate 43. At this time, the operating member 222 protruding from each unit tank 1 is inserted into the slit 421 formed in the peripheral wall 42. Thereafter, the top plate 41 is joined to the peripheral wall 42. Thus, the storage containers 2a and 2b in which the plurality of unit tanks 1 are stored are formed. At this time, the plurality of unit tanks 1 in the storage containers 2a and 2b are supported by the storage containers 2a and 2b in an arrangement that occupies an area corresponding to the shape and size of the roof of the vehicle body.
Thus, the vehicle body water cooling devices 100a and 100b are completed.
　ここでは、複数のユニットタンク１が底板４３に固定された構成となっているので、ユニットタンク１の配置態様（配置個数、配置のレイアウト）を変更するだけで、様々な形状およびサイズの車体９ａ，９ｂに対応する車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂを得ることができる。また、ユニットタンク１は、屋根９１ａ，９１ｂの形状およびサイズとは無関係に規定される所定の単位形状であるため、比較的安価に大量生産することができ、製造コストを効果的に抑えることができる。 Here, since the plurality of unit tanks 1 are fixed to the bottom plate 43, the vehicle bodies 9a of various shapes and sizes can be obtained simply by changing the arrangement mode (the number and arrangement layout of the unit tanks 1). , 9b can be obtained. Further, since the unit tank 1 is a predetermined unit shape defined regardless of the shapes and sizes of the roofs 91a and 91b, it can be mass-produced relatively inexpensively, and the manufacturing cost can be effectively suppressed. it can.
　＜３．使用態様＞
　車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂの使用態様について説明する。車体水冷装置１００ａの使用態様と車体水冷装置１００ｂの使用態様は同様であるので、ここでは車体水冷装置１００ａの使用態様を図５Ａおよび図５Ｂを参照しながら説明し、車体水冷装置１００ｂの使用態様の説明は省略する。 <3. Usage pattern>
The usage aspect of the vehicle body water cooling device 100a, 100b will be described. Since the usage of the vehicle water cooling apparatus 100a and the usage of the vehicle water cooling apparatus 100b are the same, the usage of the vehicle water cooling apparatus 100a will be described here with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B, and the usage of the vehicle water cooling apparatus 100b Description of is omitted.
　車体水冷装置１００ａを使用するにあたっては、これを車体９ａの屋根９１ａに載置して固定する。このとき、収容容器２ａの筐体４０から突出している４個の操作部材２２２が、車体９ａの前側又は後側に位置するような向きに、車体水冷装置１００ａを配置する。このような配置では、操作部材２２２が車両の乗降者の邪魔になることがない。ただし、収容容器２ａの筐体４０から突出する操作部材２２２の長さが十分に短い場合は、該操作部材２２２が車体の左側又は右側に位置するような向きに車体水冷装置が配置されるようにしても良い。 When using the vehicle body water cooling device 100a, it is mounted on the roof 91a of the vehicle body 9a and fixed. At this time, the vehicle body water cooling device 100a is disposed such that the four operation members 222 projecting from the housing 40 of the storage container 2a are positioned on the front side or the rear side of the vehicle body 9a. In such an arrangement, the operation member 222 does not get in the way of the passenger of the vehicle. However, when the length of the operation member 222 projecting from the housing 40 of the storage container 2a is sufficiently short, the vehicle water cooling apparatus is disposed so that the operation member 222 is positioned on the left side or the right side of the vehicle body. You may
　そして、操作部材２２２がユニットタンク１に差し込まれている状態で、収容容器２ａの筐体４０に設けられた注入口４１１から水を注入する。すると、筐体４０に注入された水が、その内部に配置されている複数のユニットタンク１の筐体１０の内部に、流入口１１１，１２１を介して流入する（図５Ａ）。つまり、ここでは、収容容器２ａに水を注入すると、複数のユニットタンク１内に一度に水が注入されるので、各ユニットタンク１に対する水の注入が一度で済む。 Then, in a state where the operation member 222 is inserted into the unit tank 1, water is injected from the injection port 411 provided in the housing 40 of the storage container 2 a. Then, the water injected into the case 40 flows into the insides of the cases 10 of the plurality of unit tanks 1 disposed therein via the inlets 111 and 121 (FIG. 5A). That is, here, when water is injected into the storage container 2a, the water is injected into the plurality of unit tanks 1 at a time, so that the water may be injected into each unit tank 1 only once.
　続いて、使用者が、ユニットタンク１に差し込まれている操作部材２２２を所定の長さだけ引き出すと、仕切板２１に形成された連通口２１１が開状態となり、タンク貫通孔１３１から水が漏出する（図５Ｂ）。タンク貫通孔１３１から漏出した水は、一旦、保水部材３０に保持され、ここで保持できなくなった余剰の水が容器貫通孔４３１から車体９ａへと漏出し、これにより車体９ａが水冷される。ここでは、複数のユニットタンク１が、屋根９１ａの形状およびサイズに対応する領域に配置されているので、屋根９１ａをほぼ均等に冷却することができる。また、タンク貫通孔１３１が、下方にいくにつれて縮径する逆円錐台形状であるので、タンク貫通孔１３１から漏出する水の流れを穏やかにすることが可能となり、時間をかけて少しずつ車体９ａに水を供給することができる。また、保水部材３０が設けられることにより、さらに時間をかけて少しずつ車体９ａに水を供給することができる。 Subsequently, when the user pulls out the operation member 222 inserted into the unit tank 1 by a predetermined length, the communication port 211 formed in the partition plate 21 is opened, and water leaks from the tank through hole 131 (FIG. 5B). The water leaking from the tank through hole 131 is temporarily held by the water holding member 30, and the excess water that can not be held here leaks from the container through hole 431 to the vehicle body 9a, whereby the vehicle body 9a is water cooled. Here, since the plurality of unit tanks 1 are disposed in the area corresponding to the shape and size of the roof 91a, the roof 91a can be cooled substantially equally. In addition, since the tank through hole 131 has an inverted truncated cone shape which decreases in diameter as it goes downward, the flow of water leaking from the tank through hole 131 can be made gentle, and the vehicle body 9a is gradually taken over time. Water can be supplied to Further, by providing the water retaining member 30, it is possible to supply water to the vehicle body 9a little by little over time.
　また、使用者が操作部材２２２を再び所定の長さだけユニットタンク１に差し込むと、仕切板２１に形成された連通口２１１が閉状態となり、タンク貫通孔１３１からの水の漏出が停止する（図５Ａ）。すなわち、車体９ａへの水の漏出が停止する。 In addition, when the user inserts the operation member 222 again into the unit tank 1 by a predetermined length, the communication port 211 formed in the partition plate 21 is closed, and water leakage from the tank through hole 131 is stopped ( Figure 5A). That is, the leakage of water to the vehicle body 9a stops.
　本実施形態では、車体水冷装置１００ａの各ユニットタンク１に切換手段２０が設けられているため、使用者は、車体水冷装置１００ａが備える各ユニットタンク１からの水の漏出／非漏出を独立して切り換えることができる。例えば、一部のユニットタンク１からだけ水を漏出させて車体９ａを部分的に水冷する、といった使用態様が可能となる。 In the present embodiment, since the switching means 20 is provided in each unit tank 1 of the vehicle water cooling apparatus 100a, the user independently separates leakage / non-leakage of water from each unit tank 1 provided in the vehicle water cooling apparatus 100a. Can be switched. For example, a mode of use in which water is leaked from only some unit tanks 1 to partially cool the vehicle body 9a can be used.
　＜第２実施形態＞
　本発明の第２実施形態に係る車体水冷装置について図６～図８を参照しながら説明する。ここでは、セダン型乗用車の車体に搭載される車体水冷装置を例に挙げて説明する。従って、図６～図８において、第１実施形態に係る車体水冷装置１００ａと同一又は対応する構成要素については、同一の符号を付し、適宜説明を省略する。 Second Embodiment
A vehicle coolant system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8. Here, a water cooling system mounted on a vehicle body of a sedan type passenger car will be described as an example. Therefore, in FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, the same or corresponding components as or to those of the water cooling system 100a according to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.
　車体水冷装置５００は、４個のユニットタンク５０１と、これらを内部に収容する収容容器５０２を備えている。 The vehicle body water cooling device 500 includes four unit tanks 501 and a container 502 for accommodating them inside.
　ユニットタンク５０１は、筐体５１０と、筐体５１０の底板１３に設けられたタンク貫通孔１３１からの水の漏出／非漏出を切り換える切換手段２０と、底板１３の下面側に設けられた保水部材３０と、を備える。 Unit tank 501 includes housing 510, switching means 20 for switching leakage / non-leakage of water from tank through hole 131 provided in bottom plate 13 of housing 510, and a water retaining member provided on the lower surface side of bottom plate 13. And 30.
　筐体５１０は、矩形状の天板５１１、周壁５１２、および、矩形状の底板１３が液密に接合されることにより構成された直方体の容器から成る。筐体５１０の形成材料としては、合成樹脂等が好ましい。 The housing 510 is a rectangular parallelepiped container formed by liquid-tightly connecting a rectangular top plate 511, a peripheral wall 512, and a rectangular bottom plate 13. As a forming material of the housing 510, a synthetic resin or the like is preferable.
　周壁５１２には、スリット１２２が形成されている。該スリット１２２には切換手段２０の操作部材２２２の一端側が挿通されている。スリット１２２の内側には、ここに操作部材２２２が挿通されたときにこれとスリット１２２の間から水が漏れ出ないようにシールするシール部材（図示せず）が設けられている。車体水冷装置５００が備える切換手段２０の構成は、第１実施形態の車体水冷装置１００ａが備えるそれの構成と同じである。一方、前記周壁５１２には、車体水冷装置１００ａのユニットタンク１に設けられた流入口１２１に相当する流入口が設けられていない。 In the peripheral wall 512, a slit 122 is formed. One end of the operation member 222 of the switching means 20 is inserted into the slit 122. Inside the slit 122, a seal member (not shown) is provided to seal so that water does not leak from between the slit 122 when the operation member 222 is inserted here. The configuration of the switching means 20 provided in the vehicle body water cooling device 500 is the same as that of the vehicle water cooling device 100 a of the first embodiment. On the other hand, the peripheral wall 512 is not provided with an inlet corresponding to the inlet 121 provided in the unit tank 1 of the water cooling system 100a.
　天板５１１には、ユニットタンク５０１の内部に水を注ぎ込むための注入口５１１１が設けられている。注入口５１１１は、矩形状の天板５１１の４辺のうち、周壁５１２にスリット１２２が形成されている側とは反対側に位置する辺の両側の角部のいずれかに配置されている。すなわち、本実施形態では、注入口５１１１の位置が異なる２種類のユニットタンク５０１（５０１Ｒ、５０１Ｌ（図８参照））が用意されている。 The top plate 511 is provided with an inlet 5111 for pouring water into the unit tank 501. The inlet 5111 is disposed at any one of corner portions on both sides of the side of the rectangular top plate 511 opposite to the side where the slits 122 are formed in the peripheral wall 512. That is, in the present embodiment, two types of unit tanks 501 (501R, 501L (see FIG. 8)) having different positions of the inlet 5111 are prepared.
　収容容器５０２は、筐体５４０とキャップ５４１２を備える。筐体５４０は、４個のユニットタンク５０１を収容可能な大きさを有しており、天板５４１、周壁５４２、および底板５４３を備えている。筐体５４０は、発泡プラスチックなどの断熱性を有する材料から形成されている。なお、車体水冷装置１００ａが備える収容容器２ａの筐体４０と異なり、筐体５４０は液密である必要はない。 The storage container 502 includes a housing 540 and a cap 5412. The housing 540 has a size capable of accommodating four unit tanks 501, and includes a top plate 541, a peripheral wall 542, and a bottom plate 543. The housing 540 is formed of a thermally insulating material such as foam plastic. Unlike the case 40 of the storage container 2a included in the vehicle body water cooling device 100a, the case 540 does not have to be liquid-tight.
　天板５４１のほぼ中央には、矩形状の開口５４１１が設けられている。開口５４１１は、前記キャップ５４１２で閉塞できるようになっている。本実施形態では、収容容器５０２の内部に、４個のユニットタンク５０１が、それぞれの注入口５１１１が収容容器５０２の中央付近に集まるように配置される（図８参照）。このような配置にある４個のユニットタンク５０１の注入口５１１１がいずれも開口５４１１の下部に位置するように、開口５４１１の形状、大きさ、および配置が設定されている。 A rectangular opening 5411 is provided substantially at the center of the top plate 541. The opening 5411 can be closed by the cap 5412. In the present embodiment, four unit tanks 501 are arranged in the storage container 502 so that the respective inlets 5111 are gathered near the center of the storage container 502 (see FIG. 8). The shape, size, and arrangement of the openings 5411 are set such that the inlets 5111 of the four unit tanks 501 in such an arrangement are all located below the openings 5411.
　このような構成により、車体の左側又は右側に立った使用者が、収容容器５０２の開口５４１１からユニットタンク５０１の注入口５１１１を視認することができる。このため、開口５４１１を通じてユニットタンク５０１内に容易に且つ確実に水を注入することができる。水を注入する方法としては、例えば、例えば水道の蛇口に繋がれたホースの口を収容容器５０２の開口５４１１を通してユニットタンク５０１の注入口５１１１に差し込み、水道の蛇口を開いて、ユニットタンク５０１に水を注入する方法を採ることができる。 With such a configuration, a user standing on the left side or the right side of the vehicle body can visually recognize the inlet 5111 of the unit tank 501 from the opening 5411 of the storage container 502. Therefore, water can be easily and reliably injected into the unit tank 501 through the opening 5411. As a method of injecting water, for example, the mouth of a hose connected to a tap of water tap is inserted into the inlet 5111 of the unit tank 501 through the opening 5411 of the storage container 502, the tap of water tap is opened, and the unit tank 501 is opened. It is possible to adopt a method of injecting water.
　また、本実施形態では、収容容器５０２を、断熱性を有する材料から形成したため、車体に搭載された車体水冷装置５００に日光が照射されて収容容器５０２が加熱されても、その熱が収容容器５０２内に伝わることがない。従って、ユニットタンク５０１内の水を冷たい状態で車体に排出することができるため、車体の冷却効果が向上する。 Further, in the present embodiment, since the storage container 502 is formed of a material having a heat insulating property, even if the vehicle water cooling device 500 mounted on the vehicle body is irradiated with sunlight and the storage container 502 is heated, the heat is stored in the storage container. It can not be transmitted within the 502. Therefore, since the water in the unit tank 501 can be discharged to the vehicle body in a cold state, the cooling effect of the vehicle body is improved.

　なお、上記車両水冷装置５００においては、収容容器５０２の開口５４１１を天板５４１の中央に設けたが、天板５４１４の左右両側の中央部に設けても良い。この構成では、４個のユニットタンク５０１は、それらの注入口５１１１が収容容器５０２の左右両側に位置するように、収容容器５０２内に配置する（図９参照）。この構成では、差体の左側又は右側に立った使用者から開口５４１１までの距離が小さくなるため、ユニットタンク５０１の注入口５１１１から容易に水を注入することができる。
In the vehicle water cooling apparatus 500, the opening 5411 of the container 502 is provided at the center of the top plate 541. However, the opening 5411 may be provided at the center of both the left and right sides of the top plate 5414. In this configuration, the four unit tanks 501 are disposed in the storage container 502 such that the inlets 5111 thereof are located on the left and right sides of the storage container 502 (see FIG. 9). In this configuration, since the distance from the user standing on the left side or the right side of the differential from the opening 5411 is reduced, water can be easily injected from the inlet 5111 of the unit tank 501.
　＜第３実施例＞
　図１０は本発明の第３実施形態に係る車両水冷装置で用いられる案内部材５５０を示している。この案内部材５５０は、上記の第２実施形態に係る車両水冷装置５００においては、収容容器５０２の開口５４１１に装着され、該開口５４１１に注入された水をユニットタンク５０１の注入口５１１１に導くためのものである。 Third Embodiment
FIG. 10 shows a guide member 550 used in a vehicle water cooling system according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In the vehicle water cooling apparatus 500 according to the second embodiment, the guide member 550 is mounted to the opening 5411 of the storage container 502 and guides the water injected into the opening 5411 to the inlet 5111 of the unit tank 501. belongs to.
　案内部材５５０は、開口５４１１の内形状に対応する外形状を有する矩形状の蓋板５５１と、該蓋板５５１に形成された４個の漏斗部５５２とから成る。蓋材５５１は、底板５５３とその周囲から立ち上がる枠部５５４を有している。底板５５３には４個の孔５５５が形成されており、底板５５３の下面のうち４個の孔５５５の周囲部に漏斗部５５２が取り付けられている。漏斗部５５２は下方に向かって縮径する逆円錐台状である。漏斗部５５２の長さおよび漏斗部５５２の下端部の開口の大きさは、案内部材５５０が収容容器５０２の開口５４１１に嵌め込まれたときに、漏斗部５５２２の下端部がユニットタンク５０１の注入口５１１１の直ぐ上に位置し、且つ、漏斗部５５２の下端部の開口が注入口５１１１と対向するように（図１１参照）、設定されている。 The guide member 550 includes a rectangular cover plate 551 having an outer shape corresponding to the inner shape of the opening 5411 and four funnel portions 552 formed on the cover plate 551. The lid member 551 has a bottom plate 553 and a frame portion 554 rising from the periphery thereof. Four holes 555 are formed in the bottom plate 553, and a funnel portion 552 is attached to the periphery of the four holes 555 in the lower surface of the bottom plate 553. The funnel portion 552 is in the shape of an inverted truncated cone whose diameter decreases downward. The length of the funnel portion 552 and the size of the opening of the lower end portion of the funnel portion 552 are such that the lower end portion of the funnel portion 5522 is an inlet of the unit tank 501 when the guide member 550 is fitted into the opening 5411 of the storage container 502. It is set so that it is located immediately above 5111 and the opening at the lower end of the funnel portion 552 faces the inlet 5111 (see FIG. 11).
　この構成によれば、開口５４１１に水を注入すると、その水は漏斗部５５２を通って各ユニットタンク５０１の注入口５１１１から該ユニットタンク５０１内に流入する。従って、ホースを使わなくてもユニットタンク５０１内に水を注入することができる。 According to this configuration, when water is injected into the opening 5411, the water flows into the unit tank 501 from the inlet 5111 of each unit tank 501 through the funnel portion 552. Therefore, water can be injected into the unit tank 501 without using a hose.
　＜第４実施形態＞
　図１２は、本発明の第４実施形態に係る車体水冷装置を上方から見た図である。本実施形態に係る車体水冷装置６００は、複数のユニットタンク５０１と、これらを一体的に支持する平板６４３とから構成されている。この平板６４３は、第２実施形態に係る車体水冷装置５００の収容容器５０２の底板４３と同じ構成を有している。この構成においては、各ユニットタンク５０１は、注入口５１１１を閉塞するためのキャップ（図示せず）を備えている。 Fourth Embodiment
FIG. 12 is a top view of a vehicle body water cooling apparatus according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. A vehicle cooling system 600 according to the present embodiment is composed of a plurality of unit tanks 501 and a flat plate 643 integrally supporting them. The flat plate 643 has the same configuration as the bottom plate 43 of the storage container 502 of the vehicle body water cooling apparatus 500 according to the second embodiment. In this configuration, each unit tank 501 is provided with a cap (not shown) for closing the inlet 5111.
　第４実施形態に係る車体水冷装置６００では、平板６４３だけでユニットタンク５０１を支持しているため、車体水冷装置６００を軽量化できる。なお、図１２では、注入口５１１１が平板６４３の中央付近に位置するようにユニットタンク５０１を配置したが、この配置は適宜変更が可能である。また、この実施形態では、天板の中央付近に注入口が形成されたユニットタンクを用いることも可能である。 In the vehicle water cooling system 600 according to the fourth embodiment, the unit tank 501 is supported only by the flat plate 643, so the weight of the vehicle water cooling system 600 can be reduced. In addition, in FIG. 12, the unit tank 501 is arrange | positioned so that the inlet 5111 may be located in the central region of the flat plate 643, but this arrangement can be changed suitably. Moreover, in this embodiment, it is also possible to use a unit tank in which an inlet is formed near the center of the top plate.
　＜第５実施形態＞
　図１３は、本発明の第５実施形態に係る車体水冷装置を上方から見た図である。本実施形態に係る車体水冷装置７００は、上述した平板６４３に代えて棒状部材を組み合わせて構成された支持枠６４５でユニットタンク５０１を支持している。この構成においては、支持枠６４５における棒状部分が、各ユニットタンク５０１の隙間に沿うように設けられて各ユニットタンク５０１と固定されることにより、複数のユニットタンク５０１が一体的に支持される。 Fifth Embodiment
FIG. 13 is a top view of a vehicle body water cooling apparatus according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. A vehicle body water cooling apparatus 700 according to the present embodiment supports a unit tank 501 with a support frame 645 configured by combining rod-like members instead of the flat plate 643 described above. In this configuration, the rod-like portions of the support frame 645 are provided along the gaps between the unit tanks 501 and fixed to the unit tanks 501, whereby the plurality of unit tanks 501 are integrally supported.
　第５実施形態に係る車体水冷装置７００では、支持枠６４５だけでユニットタンク５０１を支持しているため、車体水冷装置を軽量化できる。また、この構成では、ユニットタンク５０１の下面が支持枠６４５で覆われないため、支持枠６４５に、第２実施形態に係る車体水冷装置５００の収容容器５０２が備える容器貫通孔を形成する必要がない。なお、図１３では、注入口５１１１が支持枠６４５の中央付近に位置するようにユニットタンク５０１を配置したが、この配置は適宜変更が可能である。例えば、天板の中央付近に注入口が形成されたユニットタンクを用いることも可能である。また、支持枠６４５の形状は、支持するユニットタンク５０１の数に応じて適宜変更することができる。 In the vehicle body water cooling device 700 according to the fifth embodiment, since the unit tank 501 is supported only by the support frame 645, the weight of the vehicle body water cooling device can be reduced. Further, in this configuration, since the lower surface of the unit tank 501 is not covered by the support frame 645, the support frame 645 needs to be formed with the container through hole provided in the storage container 502 of the water cooling apparatus 500 according to the second embodiment. Absent. In FIG. 13, the unit tank 501 is disposed such that the inlet 5111 is positioned near the center of the support frame 645, but this arrangement can be changed as appropriate. For example, it is also possible to use a unit tank in which the inlet is formed near the center of the top plate. Further, the shape of the support frame 645 can be appropriately changed according to the number of unit tanks 501 to be supported.
　平板６４３や支持枠６４５でユニットタンク５０１を支持する構成では、ユニットタンク５０１が外部に露出するため、断熱性を有する材料からユニットタンク５０１が形成されていることが好ましい。また、ユニットタンク５０１の外周面を断熱性シート等で覆ってもよい。 In the configuration in which the unit tank 501 is supported by the flat plate 643 and the support frame 645, since the unit tank 501 is exposed to the outside, it is preferable that the unit tank 501 be formed of a heat insulating material. The outer peripheral surface of the unit tank 501 may be covered with a heat insulating sheet or the like.
　＜変形形態＞
　なお、本発明は上記した実施形態に限定されず、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で適宜の変更が可能である。
　例えば、第１および第２実施形態に係る車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂ，５００では、仕切板２１は底板１３に近接して設けられていたが、仕切板２１と底板１３の離間距離は適宜に規定することができる。上記の実施形態のように、該離間距離を比較的小さくすれば、開閉弁装置２２により連通口２１１が閉鎖されるのとほぼ同時にタンク貫通孔１３１からの水の漏出が停止する。一方、該離間距離を比較的大きくすれば、開閉弁装置２２により連通口２１１が閉鎖された後も暫くはタンク貫通孔１３１からの水の漏出が続行し、所定時間が経過した後にその漏出が停止する。つまり、ユニットタンク１、５０１内における仕切板２１を配設する高さによって、連通口２１１を閉鎖してからユニットタンク１、５０１からの水の漏出が実際に停止するまでの応答時間を適宜に規定することができる。 <Modified form>
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and appropriate modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, in the vehicle body water cooling apparatus 100a, 100b, 500 according to the first and second embodiments, the partition plate 21 is provided close to the bottom plate 13, but the separation distance between the partition plate 21 and the bottom plate 13 is appropriately defined. can do. As in the above embodiment, if the separation distance is made relatively small, the leakage of water from the tank through hole 131 is stopped almost simultaneously with the closing of the communication port 211 by the on-off valve device 22. On the other hand, if the separation distance is made relatively large, the leakage of water from the tank through hole 131 continues for a while after the communication port 211 is closed by the on-off valve device 22, and the leakage occurs after a predetermined time has elapsed. Stop. That is, depending on the height at which the partition plate 21 is disposed in the unit tank 1, 501, the response time from when the communication port 211 is closed to when water leakage from the unit tank 1, 501 actually stops is appropriately made. It can be defined.
　また、第１および第２実施形態に係る車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂ，５００において、ユニットタンク１、５０１は、車体９ａ，９ｂのサイズおよび形状とは無関係に規定される一定の形状およびサイズ（単位形状）であるとしたが、該単位形状として、サイズ（または／および形状）が異なる複数種類のものが規定されてもよい。例えば、大、中、小と、大きさが異なる３種類の直方体状のもの、三角柱状のもの、等が単位形状として規定されてもよい。この場合、車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂ，５００が備える複数のユニットタンク１は、全てが同じ単位形状であってもよいし、複数種類の単位形状が混在していてもよい。 Further, in the vehicle body water cooling device 100a, 100b, 500 according to the first and second embodiments, the unit tank 1, 501 has a predetermined shape and size (units defined regardless of the size and shape of the vehicle bodies 9a, 9b. Although it is described as shape), a plurality of types having different sizes (or / and shapes) may be defined as the unit shape. For example, three types of rectangular parallelepipeds having different sizes, such as large, medium, and small, and triangular prisms may be defined as unit shapes. In this case, the plurality of unit tanks 1 provided in the vehicle body water cooling device 100a, 100b, 500 may all have the same unit shape, or a plurality of types of unit shapes may be mixed.
　また、第１および第２実施形態に係る車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂ，５００において、切換手段２０は、仕切板２１に設けられた連通口２１１を開閉弁装置２２で開閉することで、タンク貫通孔１３１からの水の漏出／非両出を切り換えるものであったが、切換手段２０の構成はこれに限るものではない。例えば、切換手段２０は、各タンク貫通孔１３１を直接開閉するものであってもよい。 Further, in the vehicle body water cooling apparatus 100a, 100b, 500 according to the first and second embodiments, the switching means 20 opens and closes the communication port 211 provided in the partition plate 21 by the on-off valve device 22 to thereby form a tank through hole. Although the water leakage / non-water emission from the water 131 is switched, the configuration of the switching means 20 is not limited to this. For example, the switching means 20 may open and close each tank through hole 131 directly.
　また、第１および第２実施形態に係る車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂ、５００において、タンク貫通孔１３１は、下方にいくにつれて縮径する逆円錐台形状であるとしたが、これ以外の形状（例えばストレート形状）であってもよい。 Further, in the vehicle body water cooling device 100a, 100b, 500 according to the first and second embodiments, the tank through hole 131 is in the shape of an inverted truncated cone whose diameter decreases as it goes downward, but other shapes (for example, It may be straight).
　また、第１および第２実施形態に係る車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂ、５００においては、ユニットタンク１の下側に保水部材３０が設けられていたが、保水部材３０は必須の構成ではなく、これを省略してもよい。また、ユニットタンク１、５０１に設けられる保水部材３０に代えて（あるいはこれに加えて）、収容容器２ａ，２ｂ又は収容容器５０２の下側に保水部材が設けられてもよい。 Further, in the vehicle body water cooling apparatus 100a, 100b, 500 according to the first and second embodiments, the water retaining member 30 is provided below the unit tank 1, but the water retaining member 30 is not an essential component. May be omitted. Further, instead of (or in addition to) the water retaining member 30 provided in the unit tank 1, 501, a water retaining member may be provided below the containing container 2 a, 2 b or the containing container 502.
　また、上記の第１実施形態に係る車体水冷装置１００ａ，１００ｂにおいては、ユニットタンク１の周壁１２に設けられたスリット１２２の内側に、ここに操作部材２２２が挿通されたときにこれとスリット１２２の間から水が漏れ出ないようにシールするシール部材（例えばゴムパッキン）が設けられてもよい。
