Description

  The present invention relates to a variable capacity transport cart for manually transporting a transported article.

Conventionally, as a loading platform in this type of transport cart 10, for example, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the flat area of the bottom plate 1 serving as a loading platform is constant and fixed (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2).
JP-A-7-215217 Japanese Patent No. 3314024

  However, in the conventional transport cart, the flat area of the bottom plate 1 serving as a loading platform is constant, and the flat area of the bottom plate 1 cannot be changed according to the amount of the transported material 9, and each has a size corresponding to the transported amount. There was a problem that several types of carts were necessary.

  The present invention is intended to solve the above-described problems, and can provide a transport cart that can change the transport capacity to an optimal cart with one type of transport cart even if the amount of transported material changes.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration.

  The invention according to claim 1 of the present invention has, in particular, a bottom plate serving as a loading platform, and a horizontal plate that can be folded in a lateral direction before becoming a loading platform. The effect that the carrying capacity can be changed optimally is obtained.

  The invention described in claim 2 of the present invention particularly has a protrusion serving as a transported article fall prevention means at the end of the loading platform, thereby obtaining an effect of preventing slipping of the transported article. . The protrusion can be set from the horizontal by causing folding or the like.

  The invention according to claim 3 of the present invention further has a sliding portion that serves as a sliding means on the loading platform, whereby the effect of being able to slide and move a heavy load on the loading platform with ease.

  The invention according to claim 4 of the present invention has a regulating projection part serving as a guide means at the end part of the carriage, thereby obtaining an effect that the carriage can be aligned and regulated in a certain direction or position.

  The invention according to claim 5 of the present invention has an information section that serves as means for holding or displaying information on the transport cart, and thereby, the effect of being able to hold or display the contents of the transported goods of the transport cart. Is obtained.

  As described above, according to the variable capacity transport cart according to the present invention, it is possible to change the transport cart to an optimum transport cart according to the amount of transported goods with one type of transport cart, and there is an effect that the transport capacity is variable.

  Hereinafter, the first aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the first embodiment.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a variable capacity transport cart 15 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  The variable-capacity transport cart 15 of the present invention reduces the bottom plate 1 that serves as a loading platform on which a product is loaded, the folding horizontal plate 2 that also serves as a loading platform, the handle 3 that can easily push the transport cart, and the resistance during transportation. A caster 4, a projecting portion 20 that serves as a transportation fall prevention means having a function of preventing fall from the cargo platform, a sliding section 30 that serves as a sliding means for easily transferring the transportation material to the carriage, and a carriage It becomes a means for holding or displaying information for holding and displaying information such as a regulation protrusion 40 serving as a guide means for aligning and regulating the position in a certain direction, and information such as the product number and quantity of the transported goods and the destination. It is comprised with the information part 50. FIG.

  This form is an example of a state in which the foldable horizontal plate 2 of the variable capacity transport cart 15 can be opened on the front and side surfaces, and the maximum load can be loaded with the maximum loading area. The opening / closing hinge 5 has a function of opening and closing by connecting two flat plates of the bottom plate 1 and the folding horizontal plate 2. The flat plates serving as the loading platform are respectively connected by the open / close hinge 5. The open / close hinge 5 can easily open and close each flat plate of the foldable horizontal plate 2. Further, the flattening fixing portion 6 has a function of fixing the flat plate to the flat surface, and has an action of fixing the flat plate of the open folding lateral plate 2 to the flat surface by the flattening fixing portion 6.

  Thus, the folding horizontal plate 2 can be opened or closed forward or sideways, and the plane area of the loading platform can be varied.

  Next, in the foldable horizontal plate 2 that becomes the loading platform, the protruding portion 20 is set by bending or the like, and has an action of preventing slipping and falling during transportation of the transported article. Similarly, in the bottom plate 1 or the foldable horizontal plate 2 serving as a loading platform, a material having a small friction coefficient can be attached to the surface, or a sliding portion 30 serving as a sliding means such as a roller can be set to easily transfer a transported item. It has an action.

  Finally, by setting an information section 50 which is a means for holding or displaying information such as display Kanban, IC memory, etc. on a part of the transport cart, for example, the handle 3, the product number, quantity, destination, etc. It has the function to make the transport cart intelligent (information function) to hold or display this information.

  FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the lower part of the transport carriage, and is an example showing the relationship between the regulation protrusion 40 serving as guide means and the regulation guide ground fixing part 45. The control projections 40 are set at the left and right ends of the variable capacity transport cart 15, and the cart can be aligned and regulated at a certain position. The regulating protrusion 40 can be retracted by making the protrusion into a protrusion or retracting it by sliding or the like.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the variable capacity transport cart 15 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which the foldable horizontal plate 2 is completely closed, whereas the embodiment 1 is a state in which the foldable horizontal plate 2 is fully opened forward or sideways.

  That is, the transportable and loadable capacity is in a state where the foldable horizontal plate 2 is fully folded.

  By this form, since the folding horizontal plate 2 is tall, it has a feature that the function of preventing the collapse of the load is particularly improved.

  In FIG. 3, it has the effect | action which folds and fixes the foldable horizontal board 2 with the foldable fastener part 7. FIG. The foldable horizontal plate 2 can be coupled to the side surface by the foldable fastener portion 7.

  In addition, for a wheel that is not used for the foldable horizontal plate 2 that also becomes the lower surface of the loading platform, for example, the foldable caster 4b that can be folded in a flat surface is provided, and a recess is provided in the flat plate to accommodate the caster therein. , The convex part can be eliminated.

(Embodiment 3)
Next, FIG. 4 shows an example of a state in which the foldable horizontal plate 2 of the variable capacity transport cart 15 in Embodiment 3 of the present invention is opened to the left and right.

  In FIG. 4, the front plate fixing portion 8 is set to the left and right of the carriage, and the front plate of the foldable horizontal plate 2 is fixed at a certain angle. The angle of the front plate fixing portion 8 has a function that can be varied from 0 to 180 degrees, whereby the front plate of the foldable horizontal plate 2 can be set obliquely or horizontally. With this configuration, a horizontally-long transported object can be loaded on the variable capacity transport cart.

  The variable-capacity transport cart according to the present invention has an effect that it can be changed to an optimal transport cart according to the amount of transported goods with one kind of transport cart, and is used as a transport cart for manually transporting transported materials. Useful.
