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;

at least one power generator coupled to the vehicle engine for supplying power to vehicle-mounted component devices including the automatic packing means for packing the predetermined quantity of powdery cement; and

a torque take-out means for connecting the least one power generator to the vehicle engine.

2. The cement distributing vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the at least one power generator includes a means for distributing the torque output of the 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 at least one power generator for driving the at least one power generator with the torque output of the engine torque take-out means when and only when the at least one power generator is used.
