Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a container device, and particularly to a container device that improves storage efficiency during use.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, there has been a tendency for so-called containers to be used to transport cargo, and there are various proposals for container devices for this purpose, such as the one disclosed in Publication No. 44591/1983. In all such container devices, the container body has a top plate,
It is composed of a bottom plate, a front plate, a rear plate, and a pair of side plates, and the front plate serves as a so-called double door to form the entrance and exit for the contents inside the container body, and the top surface of the bottom plate is arranged as a flat surface. It is formed so that stored items can be stacked.

In particular, in the proposal related to the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-44591, when storing the contents inside the container body using the above-mentioned entrance or exit, or transporting the contents to the outside, the transportation of the contents is In order to make it easier to use, rollers are installed on the bottom plate.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the conventional container device described above, when storing objects in the container body, it is possible to efficiently utilize the inside of the container body if the objects can be stacked. However, if the stored items cannot be stacked, a large amount of space will be left inside the container body, resulting in extremely poor storage efficiency.

Furthermore, when loading and unloading the contents by using a forklift, the proposal in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-44591 requires that the contents be moved pallet by pallet using rollers inside the container body. However, when the container body is transported by vehicle, the pallet moves on rollers, causing the contents to shift inside the container body, and the pallets to be pulled out. There is a risk that problems such as damage due to collision between objects may easily occur. Furthermore, even when using the above-mentioned pallets, if the stored items cannot be stacked, the above-described poor storage efficiency due to the remaining space cannot be solved.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention has been developed to improve the storage efficiency of the contents within the container body, and to create a new container device that is optimal for making it possible to load and unload the contents on a pallet basis using a forklift. The purpose is to provide

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the structure of the present invention consists of a top plate, a bottom plate, a front plate, a rear plate, and a pair of side plates, and a plurality of pillars are installed on the opposing inner wall surfaces of the pair of side plates. The brackets are arranged vertically at intervals, and a bracket is disposed on any one of the plurality of pillars to be detachably attached via an engagement groove provided in the pillar, and the bracket is formed so as to be able to lock the bracket. In the container device, the bracket includes an engaging protrusion formed on the back side of the main body, a horizontal arm part provided on the front side of the main body, and a horizontal arm part provided on the upper part of the main body and connected to the upper surface of the arm part. The pallet is characterized by having a guide portion having a tapered surface, and placing the pallet on the upper surface of the arm portion along the guide portion.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the illustrated embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 1, a container device according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed so that an arbitrary number of pallets can be housed within the container body. The container body includes a top plate 1, a bottom plate 2,
It consists of a front plate 3, a rear plate 4, and a pair of side plates 5, 6, and the space formed by the top plate 1, the bottom plate 2, and the pair of side plates 5, 6 is the so-called inside of the container. The front plate 3 and the rear plate 4 are openable and closable so that contents can be taken in and out of the container, i.e.,
It is designed to allow pallets to be taken in and out.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the front plate 3 is installed along the lower surface of the top plate 1, and the rear plate 4 is installed along the upper surface of the bottom plate 2 (the first (See the virtual line diagram in the figure). Further, in this embodiment, both the front plate 3 and the rear plate 4 are formed to be openable and closable, but instead of this, the front plate 3 Also, only one of the rear plates 4 may be formed so as to be openable and closable.

An engagement member 7 that allows engagement of a chain or the like (not shown) is provided at the top corner of the top plate 1, and is configured to enable the container body to be lifted by a crane or the like. It is formed.

The upper surface of the bottom plate 2 is a flat surface, which allows pallets and the like to be placed directly on the top surface of the bottom plate 2, and also permits the direct placement of luggage and the like as appropriate.

A plurality of pillars 8 are erected at appropriate intervals on the opposing inner wall surfaces of the pair of side plates 5 and 6. In this embodiment, the pillar material 8 also serves as a reinforcing material for the side plates 5 and 6, and has a T-shaped engagement on the front thereof, as shown in FIG. Matching grooves 8a are formed at appropriate intervals in the vertical direction.

A bracket 9 formed as shown in FIG. 2 is detachably attached to the engagement groove 8a of the pillar member 8.

That is, the bracket 9 has a planar T-shaped engagement protrusion 9a formed on the back surface of the main body extending downward, and a handle-shaped engagement protrusion 9a in this embodiment on the upper surface of the arm portion 9b on the front side of the main body. A protrusion 9c is formed. The engagement protrusion 9a is inserted into the wide portion of the engagement groove 8a of the pillar member 8, and is also inserted into the narrow portion to prevent it from being pulled out. Further, the bracket 9 has a guide portion 9b at the upper part of the main body, and this arm portion 9
A tapered surface continuous to the upper surface of the arm portion 9b is formed on the front side of the arm portion 9b.

As shown in FIG. 3, the bracket 9 includes:
The pallet is locked. At this time, care is taken to ensure that the handle-shaped protrusion 9c of the bracket 9 is inserted into the hole 10, which is a fitting portion formed on the lower surface of the pallet, and the pallet does not move horizontally on the bracket 9. has been done. Furthermore, when a pallet is secured to the bracket 9, the pallet that is positioned above the bracket 9 and lowered by a forklift or the like, for example, can be reliably placed on the arm portion 9b of the bracket 9. As such, the guide portion 9d functions as a guide portion. That is, there is no problem when the pallet is placed directly on the arm part 9b, but when the pallet is placed on a forklift or the like, there is some misalignment from side to side and the pallet cannot be placed directly on the upper surface of the arm part 9b. In this case, the end of the pallet descends along the tapered surface of the guide part 9d,
The pallet is always automatically moved and placed on the arm portion 9b, and positional deviations are corrected.

In the present invention, the pallet has a fitting portion on its lower surface as described above, and the following considerations have also been made.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the pallet of the present invention allows desired cargo A, etc. to be placed on the upper surface, and prevents the accumulated cargo A from slipping off the upper surface of the pallet. A stopper 11 is erected at the corner, and hooks 12 are appropriately arranged around the periphery to allow the end of a rope B or the like to be tied to the load A to be fastened. The stopper 11 is formed to have a height that projects from the upper surface of the pallet, but the stopper 11 is formed with a height that projects from the upper surface of the pallet.
is formed to have a height that does not protrude from the upper surface of the pallet.

Note that the pallet is formed with a horizontal hole 13 through which a fork (not shown) of a forklift is inserted.

The functions of the container device according to the present invention formed as described above will be briefly explained.

First, the container body consists of a front plate 3 and a rear plate 4.
Both can be opened and closed, and contents can be carried in and out of the container body from either the front side or the rear side of the container body.

Next, on the opposing inner wall surfaces of the pair of side plates 5 and 6 constituting the container body, pillars 8 that allow the brackets 9 to be attached and detached are appropriately arranged. The engagement grooves 8a of the brackets 9 are appropriately arranged in the vertical direction of the pillar material 8, so by selecting these engagement grooves 8a and engaging the brackets 9, the pallet can be moved into the container body. It becomes possible to lock at any height position and form a so-called shelf with multiple stages.

The bracket 9 has a protrusion 9c on its arm portion 9b, and a hole 10 into which the protrusion 9c fits is formed in the pallet, so that the pallet is stably fixed on the bracket 9. becomes possible.

The pallet also has a stopper at its corner.
1 is formed, and a hook 12 is formed on the periphery.
, it is possible to easily prevent the cargo A accumulated on the upper surface of the pallet from slipping off the pallet or collapsing.

In the above description, a case has been described in which the container body is formed in a so-called fixed manner, but instead of this, the container body may be formed in a so-called foldable manner as shown in FIG.

That is, FIG. 5 shows a container device according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which a pair of side plates 5 and 6 constituting the container body can be folded inward around the center in the vertical direction. It is designed to do so. In this embodiment, the front plate 3 is formed into a so-called shutter, and is adapted to be rolled up on the top plate 1 side to form a so-called opening. And again, the rear plate 4
is formed to be placed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 2 with its lower end as the center of rotation.

Note that even in this embodiment, the pair of side plates 5, 6
A plurality of pillars 8 are erected on the inner wall surface of the
Of course, the pillar 8 is formed so that the bracket 9 can be removably locked therein, but in this embodiment, the pillar 8 is formed into two parts, an upper and a lower part. It is said that

In this embodiment, the container body is formed to have a planar area large enough to accommodate one pallet, and, for example, two containers can be placed in parallel on the loading platform of a large truck. It is designed so that the container bodies can be placed on it, and when the two container bodies are placed on a loading platform, etc., the front plate 3 side formed with a shutter faces the side of the loading platform, etc. By doing so, consideration has been given to making it easy to store and carry out cargo inside the container body.

In addition, in this embodiment, if the hook 14 is formed on the top surface of the top plate 1, the folding or forming of the foldable container body can be carried out safely by using a forklift. Moreover, it becomes possible to easily achieve the purpose.

Further, in each of the embodiments described above, the handle-shaped projection 9 formed on the upper surface of the arm portion 9b of the bracket 9
It goes without saying that c may have any other arbitrary shape such as a truncated conical shape or a hemispherical shape instead of this, and when it is a truncated conical shape or a hemispherical shape, the fitting between the projection 9c and the pallet is There is an advantage that the fitting with the mating portion can be carried out extremely smoothly.

Further, in each embodiment, the protrusion 9c is said to be integrally formed with the arm portion 9b of the bracket 9, but instead of this, the protrusion 9c
may be formed such that it can be attached to and detached from the arm portion 9b.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to store pallets so as to form a so-called shelf within the container body, thereby greatly improving the storage efficiency of stored items within the container body. This has the advantage of being possible.

According to the present invention, pallets can be easily and stably positioned via brackets placed at arbitrary heights within the container body, so each pallet can be easily and stably positioned using a forklift. There is an advantage that the stored items can be stored and taken out extremely easily.

Furthermore, when trying to place a pallet on a horizontal arm of the bracket using a forklift, etc., even if the pallet is slightly misaligned with the arm, the pallet will be guided toward the upper surface of the arm along the tapered surface of the guide. The pallet is placed on the upper surface of the arm portion, and its placed position is stabilized, thereby preventing displacement.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, when not only the front plate but also the rear plate can be opened and closed, there is an advantage that the contents can be quickly stored and taken out of the container body.

Furthermore, when the container body is formed to be so-called foldable, space can also be saved when storing the container body itself when the container body is not in use.
