Abstract

The invention seeks to provide a cement distributing vehicle, which permits greatly reducing labor, time and cost require for packed cement distribution, permits manufacturing a compact vehicle without sacrifice in the great tank capacity, and permits efficient distribution even to bad distribution condition destinations. In a cement distributing vehicle 1 which comprises a powdery cement accommodating tank 2, an automatic packing machine 3 for packing a predetermined quantity of powdery cement from the power cement accommodating tank, and a flywheel PTO shaft for taking out the engine torque to the outside, and in which the vehicle personnel packs and distributes a required quantity of cement by using the automatic packing means according to an order of a person desiring purchase of packed cement, a generator is connected to the flywheel PTO shaft for power supply from it to vehicle-mounted component devices such as the automatic packing machine.

Claims

1. A cement distributing vehicle comprising a powdery cement accommodation tank, an automatic packing means for packing a predetermined quantity of powdery cement in the powdery cement tank, and a power generator coupled to its engine torque take-out means for supplying power to vehicle-mounted component devices such as the automatic packing means or packing the required quantity of powder cement.

2. The cement distributing vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the power generator includes a means for distributing the torque output of the engine torque take-out means, a first power generator for generating AC 200 V power mainly for driving motors of various component devices, and a second power generator for generating AC 100 V power for a controller for controlling the motors.

3. The cement distributing vehicle according to claim 1, which further comprises a separable clutch means disposed between the engine torque take-out means and the generator for driving the generator with the torque output of the engine torque take-out means when and only when the generator is used.
