Detailed ways

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that, in the present invention, "above" means vertically above, and "below" means vertically below.

(first embodiment)

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a plate-shaped object storage container 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

The plate-shaped object storage container 100 has a plate-shaped object mounting member 10, a base 20, a support 30, a movement restricting member 40, and an advancing and retreating mechanism 50. The glass plate used for mounting.

The plate-shaped object mounting member 10 has a box shape (substantially a rectangular parallelepiped shape), and the plate-shaped objects G are stacked and mounted on the upper surface (on the upper plate 12 ). The plate-shaped object mounting member 10 has side plates 11 and an upper plate 12 . As will be described later, the side plate 11 has through-holes 15 and 16 respectively corresponding to the engaging member 60 and the rod-shaped member 71 of the movement restricting member 40 .

The base 20 has a box shape (substantially a rectangular parallelepiped shape), and the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 is placed and held on the upper surface thereof. The base 20 may be constituted by a grid-shaped frame body, which is produced by assembling a plurality of frame materials such as rod-shaped prisms, square pipes, or section steel vertically and horizontally.

The base 20 has pillar receivers 25 fitted to the front ends of the pillars 30 at the four corners of the lower surface thereof.

A shock-absorbing shock-absorbing member may be arranged between the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 and the base 20 as needed.

The pillars 30 are arranged at the four corners of the upper surface of the base 20 . As already described, the front end of the support column 30 has a shape that can be fitted to the support column receiver 25 of the base 20 . By this fitting, a plurality of plate-shaped object storage containers 100 can be stacked. That is, by aligning the four-corner pillar receivers 25 of the upper plate-shaped object container 100 above the four-corner pillars 30 of the lower plate-shaped object container 100, and stacking a plurality of plate-shaped object containers 100, it is possible to Effectively accommodate plate-shaped objects.

The movement restricting members 40 are used to restrict the movement of the plate-shaped object G on the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 , and two are disposed on each of the four side surfaces of the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 .

The movement restricting member 40 has a movement restricting member side plate 41 and a movement restricting member upper plate 42 . The movement restricting member side plate 41 prevents the plate-shaped object from falling from the upper surface of the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 . The movement restricting member upper plate 42 can be used to press the upper surface of the laminated plate-like body G. As shown in FIG.

The movement restricting member 40 is connected to the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 by an engaging member 60 described later.

The advance and retreat mechanism 50 advances and retreats an engaging member 60 described later with respect to the side plate 11 of the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 . In addition, the detail is mentioned below.

2 and 3 are partial cross-sectional views and exploded perspective views showing the connection state between the movement restricting member 40 and the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 .

In addition, in order to facilitate understanding, in FIG. 2, illustration of the rod 53 of the advance-backward mechanism 50 mentioned later is abbreviate|omitted. In addition, in FIG. 3 , the illustration of the eccentric cam 52 and the rod 53 of the forward and backward mechanism 50 on the left side is omitted.

The side plate 11 of the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 has through-holes 15 and 16 . The opening of the through-hole 15 has a vertically elongated shape and is divided into a first opening area A1 and a second opening area A2 which are arranged vertically in communication.

The first opening area A1 has a shape capable of passing a head portion 62 of an engaging member 60 described later, for example, a substantially circular shape. The second opening area A2 has a shape through which a shaft portion 61 of an engaging member 60 described later can pass, for example, a vertically elongated shape obtained by combining a substantially rectangular shape and a substantially semicircular shape. The reason why the second opening area A2 has a vertically elongated shape is to enable the shaft portion 61 to move up and down within the second opening area A2.

The width d1 of the first opening area A1 is greater than the width d2 of the second opening area A2. As a result, the head portion 62 of the coupling mechanism 60 cannot pass through the second opening area A2. That is, only the shaft portion 61 of the coupling mechanism 60 can pass through the second opening area A2. On the other hand, both the shaft portion 61 and the head portion 62 of the coupling mechanism 60 can pass through the first opening area A1.

The width d1 of the first opening area A1 and the width d2 of the second opening area A2 are defined as the width of the shaft portion 61 in a direction perpendicular to the movable direction (vertical direction).

The engaging member 60 and the rod-shaped member 71 are attached to the movement restricting member side plate 41 .

The engaging member 60 has a shaft portion 61 and a head portion 62 , and is connected to the forward and backward mechanism 50 . The shaft portion 61 has a substantially cylindrical shape, passes through the through hole 45 of the side plate 41 of the movement restricting member, and has one end fixed to the forward/backward mechanism 50 . The shaft portion 61 can pass through both the first opening area A1 and the second opening area A2. The head portion 62 has a substantially cylindrical shape and is fixed to the other end of the shaft portion 61 . The diameter of the head portion 62 is larger than that of the shaft portion 61, and can pass through the first opening area A1, but cannot pass through the second opening area A2.

The rod member 71 has a substantially cylindrical shape and can pass through the opening of the through hole 16 . Also, the length of the rod-shaped member 71 is longer than the length by which the engaging member 60 protrudes from the movement restricting member side plate 41 . Furthermore, the rod-shaped member 71 is arranged as follows corresponding to the engaging member 60 . That is, when the rod member 71 passes through the through hole 16 and the rod member 71 is locked at the upper end of the through hole 16 , the head 62 of the engaging mechanism 60 is disposed at a position corresponding to the first opening area A1 of the through hole 15 .

In this manner, the rod member 71 is combined with the through hole 16 and functions as a guide for aligning the head portion 62 of the engaging member 60 with the first opening area A1 of the through hole 15 .

The advancing and retreating mechanism 50 advances and retreats the engaging member 60 with respect to the side plate 11 of the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 (changes the amount of protrusion of the engaging member 60 from the side plate 41 of the movement limiting member), and has a support shaft 51, a pair of Eccentric cam 52, rod 53. The combination of the advance and retreat mechanism 50 and the engagement member 60 functions as a connection mechanism that can detachably connect the movement restricting member 40 to the side plate 11 of the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 and is capable of advancing and retreating.

The support shaft 51 has a substantially cylindrical shape, rotatably supports the eccentric cam 52 with its center axis C as a rotation axis, and is connected to the shaft portion 61 of the engagement member 60 .

The eccentric cam 52 has a substantially cylindrical shape and is attached to the shaft portion 61 via the support shaft 51 . The eccentric cam 52 rotates with respect to the shaft portion 61 and the support shaft 51 with a rotation axis in a direction different from the axial direction of the engaging member 60 .

This rotation is an eccentric rotation. That is, the rotation axis of the eccentric cam 52 (the central axis C of the support shaft 51 ) is set at a position shifted (displaced) from the central axis of the eccentric cam 52 itself. As a result, the distance between the movement limiting member side plate 41 and the support shaft 51 can be varied by the rotation of the eccentric cam 52 . The variation of this distance can change the protrusion amount of the engagement member 60 from the movement restriction member side plate 41 and the distance between the movement restriction member side plate 41 and the head 62 .

The lever 53 is connected to the eccentric cam 52 and is manually operated to apply a force for rotation to the eccentric cam 52 .

(Installation of movement restricting member 40)

The movement restricting member 40 is attached to the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 as follows. At this time, the eccentric cam 52 (rod 53 ) of the forward and backward mechanism 50 faces the direction in which the engaging member 60 is in the most protruding state.

(1) Insertion of the rod-shaped member 71 into the through-hole 16

The rod-shaped member 71 is passed through the through hole 16 . At this time, the engaging member 60 does not pass through the through hole 15 . Since the rod-shaped member 71 is longer than the engaging member 60 , only the rod-shaped member 71 can pass through the through hole 16 .

(2) Positioning of the engagement member 60

The rod member 71 is locked to the upper end of the through hole 16 . When the movement restricting member 40 is lifted upward, the side surface of the rod-shaped member 71 comes into contact with the inner wall at the upper end of the through hole 16 to be locked. At this time, the head portion 62 of the engaging member 60 is arranged at a position corresponding to the first opening area A1 of the through hole 15 .

(3) Insertion of engaging member 60 into through hole 15

The head portion 62 of the engaging member 60 is passed through the first opening area A1 of the through hole 15 . The head 62 has a shape corresponding to the first opening area A1, and by bringing the distance between the movement limiting member 40 and the side plate 11 of the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 close to and in contact with, the head 62 passes through the first opening area A1, and passes through the first opening area A1. Holes 15 protrude. That is, the shaft portion 61 is arranged in the through hole 15 .

(4) Locking of the engagement member 60

The movement regulating member 40 is moved downward in a state where the movement regulating member 40 is in contact with the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 . As a result, the shaft portion 61 of the engaging member 60 moves from the opening area A1 to the opening area A2. That is, the side surface of the shaft portion 61 of the engagement member 60 contacts the inner wall of the lower end of the through hole 15 to be locked. Then, the shaft portion 61 of the engaging member 60 is maintained in a state held by the lower end of the through hole 15 due to the own weight of the movement restricting member 40 . Since the head portion 62 of the engaging member 60 cannot pass through the opening area A2, the movement restricting member 40 does not come off from the plate-shaped object mounting member 10. As shown in FIG.

(5) Fixation based on the advancing and retreating mechanism 50

The connection between the movement restricting member 40 and the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 is strengthened by operating the advancing and retreating mechanism 50 to advance and retreat the engaging member 60 . That is, the lever 53 is operated to rotate the eccentric cam 52 to reduce the distance between the movement limiting member side plate 41 and the head portion 62 of the engagement member 60 . As a result, the head 62 comes into contact with the side plate 11 and is firmly fixed.

Through the above steps (1) to (5), the movement restricting member 40 can be easily attached to the plate-like body mounting member 10 . Moreover, the movement restricting member 40 can be easily removed from the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 by performing steps (1)-(5) in reverse.

In this embodiment, the connection mechanism 60 having the shaft portion 61 and the head portion 62, and the through-hole 15 having the first opening area and the second opening area respectively corresponding to the head portion 62 and the shaft portion 61 can be easily used. The movement restricting member 40 is attached to and detached from the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 . Furthermore, by using the combination of the rod member 71 and the through hole 15 as a guide, the head 62 can be aligned with the first opening area A1 , and the movement restricting member 40 can be easily attached to the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 .

The engaging member 60 advances and retreats with respect to the side plate 11 of the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 by the advancing and retreating mechanism 50, and it becomes easy to fix and release the movement restricting member 40. As shown in FIG.

In addition, the engaging member 60 can advance and retreat by the advancing and retreating mechanism 50 , thereby mitigating the impact on the movement limiting member 40 and preventing damage to the engaging member 60 and the through hole 15 . For example, the plate-shaped object G may move on the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 and collide with the movement restricting member 40 due to vibration during transportation or the like. In this case, the force generated by the collision is applied to the engaging member 60 , and the eccentric cam 52 is rotated by the force, and the protrusion amount of the engaging member 60 is changed, thereby alleviating the impact.

(second embodiment)

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a plate-shaped object storage container 200 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

The plate-shaped object storage container 200 has the plate-shaped object mounting member 10a, the base 20, the support|pillar 30, the movement restricting member 40a, and the advancing-back mechanism 50a.

5 and 6 are partial cross-sectional views and exploded perspective views showing the connection state between the movement restricting member 40a and the plate-shaped object mounting member 10a.

The engaging member 60 passes through the through-hole 17 of the side plate 11a of the plate-shaped body mounting member 10a, and the end part of the shaft part 61 is connected with the advancing-back mechanism 50a. And the rod-shaped member 71 is being fixed to the through-hole 17 of the side plate 11a of the plate-shaped object mounting member 10a.

The advancing and retreating mechanism 50a is arranged inside the plate-shaped object mounting member 10a, and electrically or mechanically advances and retreats the engaging member 60 (changes the protrusion amount of the engaging member 60). For example, the engagement member 60 can be moved forward and backward by various methods such as electric motor, air pressure, and hydraulic pressure.

When the engaging member 60 passes through the through-hole 45 , the advancing and retreating mechanism 50 a is operated to advance and retreat the engaging member 60 , so that the head 62 can be brought into contact with and fixed to the movement restricting member 40 a.

The engaging member 60 can be moved forward and backward by the advancing and retreating mechanism 50 a, thereby mitigating the impact caused by the collision of the plate-like body G against the movement restricting member 40 a , and preventing damage to the engaging member 60 and the through hole 45 . For example, the advancing and retreating mechanism 50 a advances and retreats the engagement member 60 using elastic force. Specifically, it is conceivable that the engagement member 60 advances and retreats via an elastic member or by using air. In this case, the force generated by the impact on the movement limiting member 40a is relieved by the elastic member or air (the amount of protrusion of the engaging member 60 changes due to the impact).

The combination of the advancing and retreating mechanism 50a and the engaging member 60 functions as a connection mechanism capable of advancing and retreating by detachably connecting the movement restricting member 40a to the side plate 11a of the plate-shaped object mounting member 10a.

In the plate-shaped object storage container 100 , the side plate 11 of the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 has through holes 15 and 16 , and the engaging member 60 and the rod-shaped member 71 are attached to the movement restricting member 40 . In contrast, in the plate-shaped object storage container 200, the engaging member 60 and the rod-shaped member 71 are attached to the side plate 11 of the plate-shaped object mounting member 10a, and the movement restricting member side plate 41a of the movement restricting member 40a has a penetrating hole. Holes 45,46. That is, the arrangement of the engaging member 60 and the through hole 45 is opposite to that of the plate-shaped object storage container 100 .

In addition, the arrangement of the first area A1 and the second area A2 of the through-hole 45 is vertically reversed in the case of the plate-shaped object storage container 100 . This is because the through-hole 45 is disposed on the side of the movement restricting member 40 a and the locking of the engaging member 60 can be stabilized by placing the first region A1 downward.

(third embodiment)

7 and 8 are partial cross-sectional views and exploded perspective views showing the connection state between the movement restricting member 40 and the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 in the plate-shaped object storage container 300 according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

The overall perspective view of the plate-shaped object storage container 300 is based on FIG. 1 , and illustration is omitted. That is, in FIG. 1 , a perspective view of the entire plate-shaped object storage container 300 is shown by disposing the switching mechanism 80 instead of the advancing and retreating mechanism 50 .

It should be noted that, for ease of understanding, in FIG. 8 , the illustration of the elastic member 82 of the switching mechanism 80 on the left is omitted. Moreover, in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , the direction of the locking member 81 is different.

The plate-shaped object storage container 300 has a plate-shaped object mounting member 10 a , a base 20 , a support 30 , a movement restricting member 40 , an engaging member 60 b , and a switching mechanism 80 .

The engagement member 60 b has a shaft portion 61 b , a head portion 62 , and a nut 63 .

In order to fit with the nut 63, the end part of the shaft part 61b is screwed.

The nut 63 is screwed into the shaft portion 61b to prevent the engagement member 60b from falling off and to adjust the protrusion amount of the engagement member 60b. As the nut 63 , a nut that is easy to tighten by hand, such as a wing nut, can be used.

The switching mechanism 80 has a locking member 81 and an elastic member 82 , and switches the extension and contraction of the engaging member 60 b to the side plate 11 .

The locking member 81 engages with the elastic member 82 in a predetermined direction, and has a base 81 , a through hole 812 , and a protrusion 813 .

The base body 811 has an elongated shape such as a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. When the base body 811 (locking member 81) faces the first direction (here, the Z direction in FIG. 8 ) in its longitudinal direction, it passes through the opening 821 of the elastic member 82 to be described later, and moves toward the second direction perpendicular to the first direction. In both directions (here, the X direction in FIG. 8 ), it cannot pass through the opening 821 .

The shaft portion 61b of the engagement member 60b passes through the through hole 812, and the locking member 81 can rotate or move in the axial direction with respect to the shaft portion 61b.

The protruding portion 812 has a shape (has a ridgeline facing the Z direction) stretched along the first direction (here, the Z direction in FIG. 8 ), and engages with a groove portion 824 of the elastic member 82 described later in a predetermined direction. combine.

The elastic member 82 has an opening 821 , a holding portion 822 , a protrusion 823 , and a groove 824 , and is formed of an elastic plate-shaped member.

The opening 821 has different widths (has a shape long in the Z direction) in the first and second directions (here, the Z direction and the X direction in FIG. 8 , respectively). As already described, the locking member 81 passes through the opening 821 when its longitudinal direction is the first direction (Z direction in FIG. 8 ), and does not pass through the opening when its longitudinal direction is the second direction (X direction in FIG. 8 ). 821.

The holding portion 822 is a portion that contacts and holds on the movement restricting member 40 .

The protruding portion 823 and the groove portion 824 can be formed by bending a plate-shaped member.

The protruding portion 823 protrudes from the holding portion 822 to be away from the movement restricting member 40 .

The groove portion 824 has grooves arranged along the second direction (here, the X direction in FIG. 8 ). When the direction of the groove of the groove portion 824 coincides with the direction of the ridge line of the protrusion 813 of the locking member 81 , the locking member 81 is locked to the groove portion 824 of the elastic member 82 .

The combination of the switching mechanism 80 and the engaging member 60b functions as a connection mechanism that detachably connects the movement restricting member 40 to the side plate 11 of the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 and is capable of advancing and retreating.

(Installation of movement restricting member 40)

The movement restricting member 40 is attached to the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 as follows. At this time, the switching mechanism 80 is adjusted so that the engaging member 60b is in the most protruding state. That is, the locking member 81 (base body 811 ) is disposed in the opening 821 so that the longitudinal direction of the locking member 81 (base body 811 ) coincides with the longitudinal direction of the opening 821 of the elastic member 82 . At this time, the locking member 81 is in the most protruding state.

(1) Insertion of the rod-shaped member 71 into the through-hole 16

The rod-shaped member 71 is passed through the through hole 16 . At this time, the engaging member 60 b does not pass through the through hole 15 . Since the length of the rod-shaped member 71 is longer than the length of the engagement member 60 b (the amount of protrusion from the movement restricting member side plate 41 ), only the rod-shaped member 71 can pass through the through-hole 16 .

(2) Positioning of the engaging member 60b

The rod member 71 is locked to the upper end of the through hole 16 . When the movement restricting member 40 is lifted upward, the side surface of the rod-shaped member 71 comes into contact with the inner wall at the upper end of the through hole 16 to be locked. At this time, the head portion 62 of the engaging member 60 b is arranged at a position corresponding to the first opening area A1 of the through hole 15 .

(3) Insertion of engaging member 60 b into through hole 15

The head portion 62 of the engaging member 60b is passed through the first opening area A1 of the through hole 15 . The head portion 62 has a shape corresponding to the first opening area A1, and by bringing the distance between the movement limiting member 40 and the side plate 11 of the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 close to and in contact with, the head portion 62 passes through the first opening area A1, from which The through hole 15 protrudes. That is, the shaft portion 61 is arranged in the through hole 15 .

(4) Locking of the engagement member 60b

The movement regulating member 40 is moved downward in a state where the movement regulating member 40 is in contact with the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 . As a result, the shaft portion 61 of the engaging member 60b moves from the opening area A1 to the opening area A2. That is, the side surface of the shaft portion 61 of the engagement member 60 b contacts and locks with the inner wall of the lower end of the through hole 15 . Then, the shaft portion 61 b of the engaging member 60 b is maintained in a state held by the lower end of the through hole 15 due to the own weight of the movement restricting member 40 . Since the head portion 62 of the engaging member 60 b cannot pass through the opening area A2 , the movement restricting member 40 does not come off from the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 .

(5) Fixation by switching mechanism 80

By operating the switching mechanism 80 , the connection between the movement restricting member 40 and the plate-shaped object mounting member 10 is strengthened by the engaging member 60 b. That is, the locking member 81 is rotated so that the direction of the ridge line of the protrusion 813 of the locking member 81 coincides with the groove direction of the groove portion 824 of the elastic member 82 , and the locking member 81 is locked to the elastic member 82 . At this time, due to the elastic force of the elastic member 82, the protrusion amount of the engaging member 60b decreases, and the distance between the side plate 41 of the movement limiting member and the head portion 62 of the engaging member 60b decreases. As a result, the head 62 comes into contact with the side plate 11 and is firmly fixed.

By the switching mechanism 80, the impact etc. which arise when the plate-shaped object G collides with the movement restriction member 40 can be alleviated, and damage to the engaging member 60b and the through-hole 15 can be prevented. That is, since the elastic member 82 of the switching mechanism 80 is elastically deformed, the force of the impact on the movement restricting member 40 is relaxed (the amount of protrusion of the engagement member 60 b changes due to the impact).
