摘要:
A two piece molded roof structure is provided for enclosing the cab of a work vehicle. The roof structure has an upper roof member mounted to a lower roof member. The lower roof member has a plurality of contours and apertures for receiving the components of an HVAC system, and for defining air passages. When the upper and lower roof members are joined discrete air passages are formed between the roof members. The roof structure includes fresh and recirculated air intakes communicating via an uncirculated air duct and with an HVAC core chamber housing an HVAC core. Filters are mounted in the air intakes. One or more blowers communicate between the core chamber and a conditioned air duct which has vents communicating with the cab interior. Air is thus drawn in through the intakes and directed through the unconditioned air duct to the HVAC core and then the blower expels the air into the conditioned air duct and into the vehicle cab.

A method is provided for producing dimensionally stable rotationally molded parts from semi-crystalline materials. A test mold is constructed having dimensions closely approximating the desired dimensions of the final part. A test part is then molded in the test mold using conventional rotational molding techniques. After the test part has partially cooled, it is removed from the mold, allowed to cool to ambient temperature, measured and annealed in an oven. During annealing, the part is heated to the crystallization temperature, midway between the glass transition temperature and the crystalline melting temperature. After annealing, the part is allowed to cool to ambient temperature and measured again. The post annealing dimensions are then compared with the dimensions determined before annealing to determine the amount of shrinkage. A production mold is then constructed to take into account the amount of shrinkage calculated. Production parts may then be molded in the production mold and annealed at the crystallization temperature to attain parts having a small dimensional tolerance and high tensile strength.
