2. description of Related Art

Conventionally, for example the packing of carboard and so on are used for packing, transport and send various article and product.These conventional packing take that packing back is preserved by the user apart or processed as waste product N/R the time the user.

Recently, in order to economize on resources, also require the packing that are used for various article and product are carried out recycling.Yet conventional packing for example carboard have lower durability, are unsuitable for repeated traffic or storage products.

Also have by resin or metal recirculation packing.Yet, the packing that these are conventional or other material, for example carboard must be prepared to the difformity and the size that adapt to different product model or type.This make packing design and manage cumbersomely, and cost is increased.

Therefore, considering and use a kind of chassis with castor, is that the Japanese patent application of 2002-264815 is described like that as publication number, various products of loading and transport and send these products on chassis.This chassis with castor is recycling, and can load the equipment or the product of difformity and size.Yet, simply being loaded onto on the chassis as fruit product, its stability is low, and has the impaired problem of product between the delivery period.

In order to prevent that shipping products or similar articles are damaged, and product or similar articles loaded and pack more firmly, publication number be 2001-315777 Japanese Patent Application Publication a kind of shelf.This shelf is mainly used in packing, transports and sends imaging device, for example duplicator, chopping machine or facsimile apparatus, and can recycling.After product had been sent, shelf can be broken and be taken away, and is stored effectively.

Yet, publication number be the problem that conventional shelf had described in the Japanese patent application of 2001-315777 be can load and the packaged products kind limited, so different products can not be handled or be used for to this shelf.

Therefore, a target of the present invention is exactly the problem that solves in the conventional packing device, and provide a kind of can packing device recycling, that can be used for different product and a kind of localization method.

And for example the packing of carboard and so on are used for packing, transport and send various article and product.These conventional packing take that packing back is preserved by the user apart or processed as waste product N/R the time the user.

Recently, in order to economize on resources, also require the packing that are used for various article and product are carried out recycling.Yet conventional packing for example carboard have lower durability, are unsuitable for repeated traffic or storage products.Therefore, but publication number is the Japanese patent application of 2001-122378 and publication number is the packing that 3289083 Japanese Patent has proposed recycling.

And, but as be used for the recirculation packing of the imaging device of duplicator, chopping machine, facsimile apparatus and so on for example, having proposed by publication number is that imaging device is packed, transports and sent to disclosed shelf in the Japanese patent application of 2001-315777.

At publication number is that the Japanese patent application of 2001-315777, Japanese patent application that publication number is 2001-122378 and the patent No. are in 328908 the Japanese Patent, packing proposed structure package member or a part of parts can be piled up or packing device connected to one another, so that can become compact when being collected or storing.

Yet, but in the packing of the recycling of routine, for example, in the such product of for example imaging device, not just single product and the selectable unit (SU) or the consumptive material that are used for product also usually can be sent with product together.For such mode of sending, conventional packing and shelf can not transport and send selectable unit (SU) and consumptive material with product.

If use the shelf of describing in the Japanese patent application of publication number as 2001-315777, also can consider selectable unit (SU) and consumptive material are loaded on the lid (top board) of shelf.Yet do not approve usually selectable unit (SU) and consumptive material are loaded on the lid, thereby lid is understood the upper surface of bending conflict product like this, thereby damage product.

And, increase to prevent because lid that the lid bending causes and the mutual conflict between the product will increase wasted space the space when therefore having increased transportation as the distance between fruit product upper surface and the lid.This can cause the decline of operating efficiency.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the problems referred to above in the conventional packing device, and provide a kind of packing device and a kind of localization method, this packing device can be sent selectable unit (SU) and consumptive material with product, even and if still can prevent that by this localization method product is damaged and can increase volume necessarily under said circumstances.

Therefore, considering and use a kind of chassis with castor, is that the Japanese patent application of 2002-264815 is described like that as publication number, various products of loading and transport and send these products on chassis.This chassis with castor can utilize again, and can load the equipment or the product of difformity and size.Yet, simply being loaded onto on the chassis as fruit product, its stability is low, and has the impaired problem of product between the delivery period.

Yet, deliver and be delivered to customer's the process from production plant or warehouse at various products and article, commonly product betransported with all kinds vehicle, is handled upside down for example by truck or by railway carriage, and by various different portage methods.When product and article betransported and carry with these types of vehicle, vibration or bump may take place in product and article.Especially, in the precision machinery of similar imaging device, excessively clashed into if between transportation and delivery period, install, just may damage equipment.

Yet; in the chassis and shelf of routine, the tray of chassis or shelf are not protected the structure that alleviates impact of cargo-carring product or article, just have such problem; that is, because the vibration between transportation and delivery period or clash into packaged product or similarly article can break or damage.

Another object of the present invention is the problem that solves in the conventional packing device, and a kind of packing device and localization method are provided, and can load various types of products or article, thus and during transportation buffering vibration and bump protection loading stocks or article.

Packing by resin or metal recycling are also arranged.Yet, the packing that these are conventional or other material, for example carboard must be prepared to the difformity and the size that adapt to different product model or type.This make packing design and manage cumbersomely, and cost is increased.

For product or the similar articles that prevent to transport are damaged, and product or similar articles loaded and pack more firmly, publication number be 2001-315777 Japanese Patent Application Publication a kind of shelf.This shelf is mainly used in packing, transports and sends imaging device, for example duplicator, chopping machine or facsimile apparatus, and can recycling.After product had been sent, shelf can be broken and be taken away, and is stored effectively.

At publication number is in the Japanese patent application of 2001-315777 in the disclosed shelf, has described article and has been placed on tray (article mounting base 3) by article holders 9 and goes up (see this application the 0036th, 0098 to 0100 section, and Fig. 1 and Figure 24).

Yet,, need to increase the mounting hole on the tray in order to keep the intensity of article holders 9.And, for the installation site that makes article holders 9 is fit to the size of each product, need on tray, provide more mounting hole.Therefore, when various article directly are loaded on the tray, rubber legs or castor can with the mounting hole mutual interference mutually on the tray, and fall into wherein.

The assembly opening 48 that much is used to assemble article holders 9 is formed on tray (article mounting base 3) (seeing the 0100th section), in case unload article holders, is difficult to find article holders 9 to need to cooperate those assembly openings 48.

The specific embodiment

At length explain exemplary embodiment of the present invention below with reference to accompanying drawing.

The transparent view of Fig. 1 shows, according to a state that the example product is packaged of in one embodiment of the invention a kind of packing device.Fig. 2 is the decomposition view of the schematic structure of packing device.

As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, a kind of packing device 101 according to the embodiment of the invention comprises: tray 102, this tray are that product 100 is installed to mounting base on it; Four pillars 103 are assembled to four corners of tray 102 and are provided with in upright mode; Top board (lid) 104 is installed on each pillar 103; With panel 107, be placed between each pillar 103.

Be formed from a resin according to embodiments of the invention tray 102, forked element jack 102a is arranged on the forked element that is used for inserting the fork-shaped elevator in the tray.And, reserve the periphery of tray upper surface by the upper surface of depressing tray, recessed portion 102b is formed at the upper surface of tray, damper element 108 is arranged among the recessed portion 102b.Liner plate 106 is from the top assembling of damper element 108, so that when assembling liner plate 106, do not have diff-H between the upper surface of liner plate 106 and the upper surface of tray (peripheral upper surface).Therefore, thereby form the plane because the height of the height of the peripheral upper surface of tray and liner plate 106 upper surfaces matches each other, product can move and practicality also can improve easily when loading the product with castor.The assembled portion 102c that is used for fixing pillar 103 is arranged on the place, four angles of tray periphery.

The shape of liner plate 106 covers the recessed portion 102b on the tray upper surface, and the upper surface of liner plate (product installation surface) forms the aspect that does not have uneven part.On the other hand, the rib (not shown) is arranged on the back of the liner plate opposite with the article installation surface with the state that protrudes, so that liner plate can not break, keeps predetermined amount of deflection with respect to the weight that is installed in the article on the liner plate 106 simultaneously.Has the intersection that forms along diagonal line in the shape of the rib of liner plate back in the place of the shank that product is installed (castor or similarly position), be used to the intensity that provides higher, product as shown in FIG. 1 is the same, a kind of imaging device is packaged in the chest, yet the shape of rib is parallel to four sides of liner plate periphery so that amount of deflection to be provided in other place.Because because the stress concentration that the bending of liner plate causes is at core, the stretched portion (not shown) is arranged on the core of liner plate 106 to meet with stresses.Stretched portion is configured to make the thickness of slab of the thickness of slab of stretched portion greater than other parts (peripheral part).In this example, tray 102 and liner plate 106 are made by identical materials (this material is a resin according to the present invention).When terminated the service life of tray 102 and liner plate 106, tray 102 melted with liner plate 106 together, and utilizes once more as regrown material.

Damper element 108 in the recess 102b of tray 102 arranged according to the present invention is formed by foamed materials, utilizes two types material, i.e. the material (high bubble content damper element) of material of low foam ratio (low bubble content damper element) and high foam ratio.Low foam damper element is arranged on the part by the product shank that will install (castor or similar position) weight, and high bubble content damper element is arranged on other parts.Therefore, vertical vibrating during about transportation, the weight that is applied on the liner plate 106 corresponding to the shank of product is absorbed by low bubble content damper element, and corresponding to the part between the product shank be applied to liner plate 106 weight since the bending of liner plate 106 absorbed by high bubble content damper element.Therefore, being delivered to the bump that is mounted product is weakened.

Top board 104 is installed on the pillar 103, is installed in the top of the product on the liner plate 106 with covering.Top board 104 and corresponding pillar 103 removably are engaged with each other by the bonding part.As shown in Figure 3, the core 104a of top board is arranged to the state that projects upwards from peripheral part 104b, and core 104a is connected by hypotenuse 104c with peripheral part 104b.Because the core 104a of top board projects upwards from peripheral part 104b, therefore to compare with the situation that top board has a simple plane shape, intensity further is improved.

Packing device 101 according to the present invention is constructed such that tray 102 can be stacked on the top board 104, therefore packing device 101 can pile up each other, and the shank 102d of tray 102 can pile up the peripheral part 104b that also can be installed in top board 104 and go up (Fig. 3 and Figure 12).The positioning unit (not shown) is arranged on the top board surface all around, with location tray 102 when tray 102 is installed to top board 104.Top board 104 also can be stacked on each other and go up.At this moment, because top board has in the outstanding shape of core, so the top board of downside can be put into the top board of upside, even top board 104 multistage piling up, top board 104 can not collapse yet.

Pillar 103 comprises that cross-sectional plane is roughly L shaped first parts (upper supporting column) 103a and second parts (lower supporting rod) 103b, and pillar is formed and makes by with upper supporting column 103a and the lower supporting rod 103b length of regulating stacked on top of each other.Shown in Fig. 4 A, for each pillar among upper supporting column 103a and the lower supporting rod 103b is provided with a plurality of conjugate foramens 131, pillar 103 is (shown in Fig. 4 B) that form like this, promptly, the conjugate foramen 131 of two pillars is put together so that pillar 103 has predetermined altitude (length) and block 133 is fixed on the conjugate foramen 131, and block 133 is fixed cells.According to the present invention, four conjugate foramens 131 are set in upper supporting column 103a, three conjugate foramens 131 are set in lower supporting rod 103b.

Fig. 5 shows the section drawing of pillar 103, and block 133 is fixed to the state of pillar 103.Fig. 6 is the planar view of block 133.The transparent view of Fig. 7 shows the state that block 133 is fixed in pillar 103.

Shown in Fig. 5,6 and 7, block 133 comprises two arms (pillar insertion unit) 133a and 133b.Bonding part 133c is arranged on the end of the arm 133a of a side, and this bonding part 133c engages with pillar in case stop block 133 comes off.Bonding part 133c is formed by the slit 133e of the end of the arm 133a of a side, and because of the elasticity of these parts can be crooked.The outer end of bonding part 133c hypotenuse outstanding (direction to another side arm 133b is outstanding) forms claw 133d.When block 133 inserted the conjugate foramen 131 of pillar 103, the hypotenuse of bonding part 133c was pushed down by pillar and bonding part 133c curves inwardly (towards arm 133a side).When bonding part 133c when the inside of lower supporting rod 103b is outstanding, the compressing that is produced by pillar is disengaged, thus and claw 133d engages with the inside face of lower supporting rod 103b and prevents that stop block 133 comes off.That is to say that bonding part 133c is driven on locking direction by the elasticity of block 133, and when block 133 is fixed on the pillar 103, can prevent reliably that stop block 133 comes off.

The scheme drawing of Fig. 8 A and 8B has been explained the secure/separate operation of block.

The cylindrical shape that the arm 133a of

block

133 and 133b have hollow, the cylindrical space of arm is opened (as shown in Fig. 8 B) to the outer end face of block 133, thereby forms grip portion 133f.When pillar 103 is pulled down block 133, finger is placed on grip portion 133f goes up between finger, to arrest block 133, pull out block 133 from pillar, simultaneously with finger inwardly (direction that court unlocks) crimping close part 133c.Can be selectively, be used for the upside of joint 133g of connecting

arm

133a and 133b and downside (being left side and right side) thereby can be controlled pulling it by finger at Fig. 8 B.The inside of joint 133g has rib structure, and rib structure is arranged to cross rib herein, so the weight saving of parts and guaranteed enough intensity.

On the other hand, corresponding to the arm 133a and the 133b of block 133, upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b conjugate foramen 131 separately forms pair of engaging

hole

131a and 131b, and being used for cross-sectional plane roughly is L shaped every lateral brace.Block 133 is inserted in the conjugate foramen 131 that is formed by

hole

131a and 131b, and upper supporting column 103a and the lower supporting rod 103b with stack fixes and pins with block 133, thereby forms a pillar 103.

According to present embodiment, the hole 131a and the 131b that form conjugate foramen 131 separately spend on the limit that is arranged on separately with 45 respectively, with cross-sectional plane roughly is that L shaped upper supporting column 103a and each bight of lower supporting rod 103b are placed on therebetween, the arm 133a of

block

133 and 133b are assembled to respectively in the

hole

131a and 131b on the corresponding edge, thereby upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b are locked to each other.

As shown in Figure 5,

projection

134a and 134b (hereinafter 134a and 134b are collectively referred to as 134) are formed on the outside face of upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b, and recessed portion 135a and 135b (hereinafter 135a and 135b are collectively referred to as 135) are formed on the inside face of upper supporting column and lower supporting rod.Projection 134 and recessed portion 135 be along the longitudinal extension of pillar 103, and be equipped with a plurality of with suitable spacing on the cross-sectional direction of pillar.According to present embodiment, roughly be on the long limit of L shaped pillar three projections 134 to be set at cross-sectional plane, a projection 134 is set on minor face.Also on cross-sectional plane roughly is L shaped long limit, three recessed portions 135 are set, a recessed portion 135 is set on minor face.Because the cooresponding projection 134 of lower supporting rod 103b will be assembled to the cooresponding recessed portion 135 of upper supporting column 103a, so upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b just form integral body in the vertical slidably, thereby length (height of pillar) becomes adjustable.In other words, projection 134 and recessed portion 135 play the effect of slide rail.

In the projection 134 and recessed portion 135 that on upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b, is provided with, three projections 134 on L shaped long limit and the projection 134a and the recessed portion 135a at recessed portion 135 centers, and projection 134a on L shaped minor face and recessed portion 135a, have the shape of dovetail.Therefore, when two projections and recessed portion assembled each other, these parts can not come off.Therefore, the upper supporting column 103a and the lower supporting rod 103b of stack assemble each other, therefore can slide in the vertical, but can be from not coming off each other.

As shown in Figure 4, the base portion 132 that inserts and be assembled to assembled portion 102c is arranged on the lower end of lower supporting rod 103b, wherein assembled portion 102c is arranged on four bights of tray.Pillar locking piece 124 is configured among the assembled portion 102c of tray, and the assembly opening (not shown) is arranged on the bight of the base portion 132 on the lower supporting rod 103b, and the pillar locking piece inserts in this assembly opening.

Fig. 9 and Figure 10 are partial enlarged drawings, show in detail the assembled portion 102c at place, 102 4 angles of tray.As shown in Figures 9 and 10, assembled portion 102c has roughly L shaped shape, roughly has L shaped pillar 103 corresponding to cross-sectional plane.On the wall of assembled portion 102c, two pairs of ribs 121 are arranged on the L shaped long limit of assembled portion 102c with outstanding state, and a pair of rib 121 is arranged on the minor face of assembled portion 102c.When pillar 103 (lower supporting rod 103b) is assembled to assembled portion 102c and is provided with in vertical mode, rib 121 nestles against the wall of the base portion 132 of lower supporting rod 103b from the outside, so that lower supporting rod 103b closely cooperates with assembled portion 102c and supported by assembled portion 102c.Assembled shaft 122 is provided with from the bottom with the bight of vertical mode at assembled portion 102c.Assembled shaft 122 is inserted in the assembly space 136 (Fig. 5) that lower supporting rod 103b bight forms, thereby lower supporting rod 103b closely is assembled among the assembled portion 102c and by assembled portion 102c and supports.Lower supporting rod 103b installs to assembled portion 102c reliably by rib 121 and assembled shaft 122, thereby pillar 103 is arranged in the tray 102 in vertical mode securely.

Pillar locking piece 124 is assembled to retaining part 123 and is held in place in the outside in assembled portion 102c bight.Pillar locking piece 124 comprises lock pin 124a, and can slide in retaining part 123.The hole (not shown) is formed on the inwall of retaining part 123, and lock pin 124a can stretch out from this hole.As shown in Figure 9, when pillar locking piece 124 was shifted to the outside, lock pin 124a was drawn out of from retaining part 123, thereby the locking between lower supporting rod 103b and the assembled portion 102c is disengaged.As shown in figure 10, when pillar locking piece 124 is shifted to the inboard, lock pin 124a extend among the assembled portion 102c, and puts in the assembly opening (not shown) on the base portion 132 be arranged on lower supporting rod 103b, thereby lower supporting rod 103b is assembled part 102c locking (on tray 102).

Figure 11 is the mounting portion between pillar 103 and top board 104 and the cutaway view of lockout mechanism.As shown in figure 11, sliding part 111, promptly the pillar locking piece is held in place also and can be slided on left and right directions by top board 104.Lock pin 111a (left side) and 111a (right side) are arranged on the opposite side of sliding part 111 in outstanding mode, so that lock pin 111a (left side) can extend in the pillar assembled portion that is arranged in the top board 104.

On the other hand, the jack 137 of the lock pin 111a (left side) of sliding part 111 insertion is arranged on the last inwall of upper supporting column 103a.As shown in figure 11, after top board 104 being installed to that pillar 103 (upper supporting column 103a) is gone up and sliding part 111 being slid into the position shown in Figure 11, just lock pin 111a (left side) can be put in the assembly opening 137 on the upper supporting column 103a, and top board 104 just is locked into the top of pillar.

As shown in Figure 5, panel retaining part 138 keeps panel to protect the side of the product that will install by inserting panel, and panel retaining part 138 is respectively formed at upper supporting column 103a and the opposed end of lower supporting rod 103b on cross-sectional direction.When pillar 103 is arranged on the tray 102 in the setting mode, insert panel 107 between the corresponding pillar and fixed panel just can be installed in side, front or the back of the product on the tray 102 by panel protection.Figure 12 shows panel and is inserted between the pillar 103 by the fixing state of block 107a.In Figure 12, show the state that two packing devices 101 pile up.In this case, the tray of last packing device 101 102 is installed and is installed to down the top board 104 of packing device 101 and be positioned, therefore on packing device can not move.

The swing of left and right directions is alleviated by pillar 103 and panel 107 in Figure 12.When top board 104 was installed on the pillar 103 that is assembled to tray 102, if do not use panel, because the weight of pillar 103a, center-of-gravity position can be shifted to the outside.Therefore, the position at the top of pillar is not fixed, and is difficult to make pillar to engage with the bonding part of top board.Like this, panel 107 just is inserted between the pillar can be with the location, top of pillar, thereby can make between pillar and top board 104 bonding parts and engage easily.

In the packing device 101 of this embodiment, because used two pillars 103, that is, and upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b, the length of pillar 103 (highly) is adjustable, and the length of pillar 103 can and highly be set corresponding to the size of packaged and the product installed.Therefore, this packing device can be used for different products.

Because the length of pillar 103 (highly) can be regulated in a plurality of steps and block 133 can lock-out state, so when the length (highly) of pillar changed, the adjusting length (highly) of pillar can keep reliably.

Therefore because block 133 has two stop pins (

arm

133a and 133b), the stopping power in stop pin increases, and upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b can be locked reliably.

In the conjugate foramen 131 on the pillar side of block 133 assemblings, on the hole 131a of the arm 133a of retainer (latch memeber) and 133b and respective side that 131b is separately positioned on pillar, thereby can roughly be that place therebetween in the bight of L shaped pillar with cross-sectional plane.Therefore, the arm 133a of retainer and 133b be respectively with respect to respective side locking, thereby roughly be that place therebetween in the bight of L shaped pillar 103 (103a and 103b) with cross-sectional plane.Therefore, even if the external force of applying (particularly transverse force) pillar and retainer also are difficult to move, and the connection power (stopping power) between pillar 103 and the block 133 also is held forcefully.Like this, the joint (stack) between upper supporting column 103a and the lower supporting rod 103b can be kept forcefully.

Because anti-stop block 133 is arranged on the block 133 from the bonding part 133c that pillar 103 comes off, the connection power (engaging force) between pillar 103 and the block 133 can make things convenient for and obtain reliably.And, because can on locking direction, drive bonding part 133c, so can prevent reliably that stop block 133 comes off from pillar 103 by the elasticity of utilizing block 133.On the other hand, remove the position because can make bonding part 133c move (displacement) to engaging by the elasticity of utilizing block 133, so during the length of adjustable fixing 103, the operator is pressed onto bonding part 133c and engage removes the position and hold grip portion 133f or junction 133 and pulling it, and just can remove this joint easily.

In recycling and on-cycle packing device, need after being delivered to the user, collect product this device.During collection, in packing device 101 according to the present invention, the length of pillar 103 (highly) can reduce.In other words, when sending product, the pillar of two corbelings can be adjusted to the length corresponding to the product height.By removing block 133, the upper supporting column 103a and the lower supporting rod 103b that form pillar 103 just can relative to each other slide, and the length of pillar 103 just can be reduced to the length that is substantially equal to a pillar among upper supporting column 103a and the lower supporting rod 103b.And, according to present embodiment, because be assembled to the corresponding recessed portion 135 of upper supporting column 103a by corresponding projection 134 with lower supporting rod 103b, upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b just can slide over each other, so its length can reduce, upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b collection are fitted together simultaneously, are easy to carrying, have therefore reduced transport space and storage space.In addition, upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b do not disconnect, and whole pillar 103 can be stored reliably.If fixed block 133, under the situation of the contraction in length of upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b, not only pillar can remain on the state of shortening, and can prevent the wearing and tearing of stop block 133.

As shown in Figure 1, in the packing device 101 according to present embodiment, separator 114 is fixed on the pillar 103 suitably, and pillar 103 and the space of installing between the product are sealed to prevent shaking or moving of product.Separator 114 can be fixed on upper supporting column 103a or the lower supporting rod 103b.

Figure 13 illustrates the separator 114 that is fixed in pillar 103 (lower supporting rod 103b) of looking later from pillar 103.Figure 14 is the scheme drawing of the separator fixed part of looking from above.Shown in Figure 13 and 14, separator 114 comprises base portion 115 and liner 116.Installation column 115a (Figure 16) is arranged on the back of base portion 115 with outstanding state, the recessed portion 135a that column 115 is assembled to pillar 103 (upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b) is installed, thus one of pillar suitable position fixing separator.It is the major diameter part that column 115a place is installed, and this large-diameter portion branch is assembled to the dovetail shape recessed portion 135a (Fig. 5) of the recessed portion 135 of pillar 103 (upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b), thereby prevents that separator 114 from coming off.As shown in figure 15, separator 114 can fix by change of direction.Figure 15 shows along the state of the separator 114 of pillar 103 placements.

Figure 16 is the back view of base portion 115.As shown in figure 16, column 115a is arranged on base portion 115 with outstanding form back is installed.Two

knock hole

115b and 115c that are used to locate liner 116 are formed on base portion 115.Knock hole 115b has the shape of keyhole.As shown in enlarged view, another knock hole 115c has at the summit of two semicircle intersections 115d and square opening 115e.

Figure 17 A, 17B and 17C are three lateral plans of liner 116., can stretch to shown in Figure 17 C as Figure 17 A thereby the main body 116a of liner 116 forms collapsed shape.Two lock pin 116b are arranged on the back (the installation surface side of base portion 115) of main body 116a with outstanding state.Lock pin 116b comprises substantial cylindrical part 116c and flat 116d.The end side of flat 116d is to giving prominence to and form the part 116e that prevents to come off.Insert a mouthful 116f and be arranged among the substantial cylindrical part 116c, insert a mouthful 116f be used for damper element for example pearl (beads) inject or insert in the main body 116a.Inserting a mouthful 116f is the vent window that is used to alleviate the bump on the product.

As reference Figure 16 explained, knock hole 115b and 115c were formed on the base portion 115 of separator 114.When liner 116 was installed on the base portion 115, as shown in figure 18, liner 116 tilted a little with respect to base portion 115, and the part 116e that comes off of preventing of a lock pin 116b (right side among Figure 18) is inserted into the knock hole 115b of base portion 115 on the liner 116.To outstanding, the part 116e that prevents to come off can be assembled to the rear side of base portion from the right-hand member of knock hole 115b to part 116e from the end side of flat 116d because prevent to come off.Therefore, the lock pin 116b of liner 116 opposite sides (left side among Figure 18) can be inserted into the recess 115e (with reference to the enlarged view among Figure 16) of another knock hole 115c on the bottom 115.In this state, liner 116 is pressing base portion 115, therefore the lock pin 116b on the liner 116 is assembled to knock hole 115b and 115c on the base portion 115.As shown in figure 19, thereby rotate when becoming parallel to each other when base portion 115 and liner 116, be formed on the part 116e that comes off of preventing on another lock pin 116b on the liner 116 (left side among Figure 19) and pinned by the bonding part 115f (Figure 18) of base portion 115.At this moment, Figure 19 right side is formed on the part 116e that comes off of preventing on the lock pin 116b and is also pinned by the back of base portion.Therefore, thus liner 116 is installed on the base portion 115 and forms separator 114.

Shown in the enlarged view among Figure 16, because the summit 115d of two semicircle intersections is arranged among another knock hole 115c on the base portion, when liner 116 is installed on the base portion 115 and the substantial cylindrical part 116c of lock pin 116b is assembled to below semicircle among Figure 19 on the liner 116, because the existence of summit 115d, do not move (can not come off) on substantial cylindrical part 116c does not understand, therefore prevent that liner 116 from coming off from base portion 115 unintentionally.According to present embodiment, and, because lock pin 116b end separately constitutes the part 116e and engage with the back of base portion of preventing to come off on the liner 116, and can prevent reliably that liner 116 from coming off.

The inside of retaining liner 116 be hollow the time, by filling for example pearl of damper element, can push down product effectively.Especially, be applied on the liner 116 as fruit product load, the distortion of liner can advantageously be suppressed.In liner 116, the left side forms the adjacent surface (product pressure surface) on the product among Figure 17 C.

Figure 20 is the transparent view of another kind of separator example.Separator 114B shown in Figure 20 comprises base portion 117 and liner 118.Liner 118 is folding, and liner 118 can launch, and shown in left figure, can fold, as shown at right.Separator according to the product size adjustment can be realized by folding or expansion liner 118, with the product coupling that will install.That part of structure that liner 118 will be installed on the base portion 117 is identical with that part of structure of separator 114.Damper element for example pearl can be filled in the liner 118.

Figure 21 A, 21B and 21C are three lateral plans of another separator example, are respectively lateral plan, planar view and back view by from top to bottom order.Figure 21 A comprises base portion 115C and liner 116C to the separator 114C shown in the 21C.Liner 116C is made by polypropylene according to present embodiment, as shown in back view, will insert the bonding part 116g of the assembly opening on the

base portion

115C and 116h is arranged on liner with outstanding state back.By bonding part 116g and 116h being assembled to the assembly opening on the base portion 115C, just liner 116C can be snapped onto among the base portion 115C.Separator 114C in this example and the separator 114B among Figure 20 can form that separator 114 is such as explained above, can be supported rotationally with respect to pillar 103.

The liner 116 of the separator of explaining referring to figs. 13 through Figure 19 114 comprises folded part, therefore has very big damping characteristics and good absorption of vibrations.Yet on the other hand, when buffering, the thickness of liner can be easy to just change.When packing device rocked because of vibration in when transportation, be applied on the liner 116 from the power (by rocking the horizontal force that causes) that product is installed.Therefore, the thickness with liner 116 of good vibration absorption changes, and exists the possibility that product roughly moves in the horizontal direction is installed.Especially, when packing device piled up as reference Figure 12 explains, as the fruit product parallel motion, stability will variation.Therefore, preferably use the separator 114C shown in Figure 21 A, 21B and the 21C as the separator of pushing down the lower part of product.

In the separator 114C of this example, liner is hard relatively parts, and because it does not have folded part, distortion is very little when absorbing vibration.Therefore, in order to suppress moving of product, separator 114C shown in Figure 21 A, 21B and the 21C is arranged on the lower position of product, and the separator with comfort cushioning characteristic 114 shown in Figure 14 is arranged on the top of product, therefore can locate product reliably when transportation and can suppress product because vibrate moving of causing.Especially, for example, in Fig. 2, two separators 114 are separately fixed at the position, above and below (though the separator 114 of back lower position is because panel 107 blocks and can not see) of pillar 103.Below separator 114 need be replaced by separator 114C in this example.

Because the separator 114C in this example is hard a little parts, preferably make separator 114C abut the installation product and have high-intensity part, reduce to minimum with the influence that will transport time bump.For example, when imaging equipment is mounted as product, preferably make separator 114C abut the surface of shell inner structure framework or metal sheet framework.

Figure 22 A comprises that liner 116 is used to push down the planar view of the stay of product.Figure 22 B comprises that liner 116 is used to push down the front elevation of the stay of product.As shown in Figure 22 A and 22B, liner 116 can be installed on the stay 105.Liner 116 is with identical to that liner that 17C explained with reference to figure 17A.The liner mounting portion 151 that is used to assemble liner 116 according to present embodiment is arranged on four places of stay 151.In 17C, liner 116 is installed in respectively on two liner mounting portions 151 of left end and right-hand member at Figure 17 A.Liner mounting portion 151 forms the recessed portion that is absorbed in from the side of stay, and the heart has with outstanding cylindricality be in pillar 152 that outstanding state is provided with and the projection 154 that forms on the opposite side of liner mounting portion 151 therein.The fixed guide portion 153 of Pear-Shaped or abdomen cydariform is formed on the middle position of pillar 152.Projection 154 is stretched out (being suspended in the outside) by the recessed portion of side in liner mounting portion 151 from stay and is formed.

When liner 116 was assembled to liner mounting portion 151, liner 116 tilted a little and presses to stay 105, so that the lock pin 116b on the liner 116 shown in Figure 17 A and the 17B is inserted in the recessed portion on the opposite side of mounting portion pillar 152.Then, the part 116e that comes off of preventing of a side chain pin 116b end is hooked to the inside of a lateral process.Rotate liner 116 then and make the part 116e that comes off of preventing of opposite side lock pin 116b end be hooked to the inboard of opposite side projection 154, make liner 116 be parallel to stay 105.Therefore, the substantial cylindrical part 116c of lock pin 116b engages with the center of fixed guide portion 153 on the liner 116, fixed guide portion 153 is arranged on the relative both sides of pillar 152, and the part 116e that comes off of preventing of lock pin 116b pushes down by the projection on the opposite side of mounting portion 154, thereby liner 116 is installed on the liner mounting portion 151.

At this moment, the fixed guide portion 153 of mounting portion is placed between the opposite face of substantial cylindrical part 116c of lock pin 116b on the liner 116, so liner 116 is fixed by stay 105 and kept.Simultaneously, the preventing of the liner 116 part 116e that comes off is pushed down from the outside by the projection 154 of stay, thereby prevents that liner 116 from coming off.

When liner 116 from the liner mounting portion 151 whens dismounting, can be from the mounting portion 151 pull down liner 116 by rotating liner 116.In Figure 22 A and 22B, liner 116 is assembled to four liner mounting portions 151 in two positions of relative end.Yet liner 116 can assemble optional liner mounting portion 151.

Shown in Figure 23 A, the bond post 155 that is used for stay 105 is assembled to pillar 103 is arranged on the surface of stay 105 opposite ends with outstanding form.Kayser part (click clockportion) 155a is arranged to two side-prominent from bond post 155 upper and lowers.Bond post 155 is assembled to the recessed portion 135a (Fig. 5) of the pillar 103 (upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b) with dovetail shape respectively.At this moment, because be provided with kayser part 155a, stay 105 is fixed to pillar 103 with being stabilized, so stay 105 is difficult to come off from pillar.

The pin-and-hole 156 that framework lock pin 157 shown in Figure 24 is inserted is formed on the center between the upper and lower sides bond post 155.Framework lock pin 157 comprises a head 157a and an axle 157b, and is fixing and can be in Figure 24 move between the latched position shown in the latch-release position shown in the solid line and the dotted line by pin-and-hole 156.Two major diameter parts 158 and 159 are formed on the centre portion of a 157b.The major diameter part 159 of head side prevents that as block lock pin from coming off from stay 105.The major diameter part 158 of most advanced and sophisticated side (point side) is assembled to the dovetail of the recessed portion 135a of pillar 103, so that stay 105 is locked into pillar 103.Though do not illustrate, the assembly opening of most advanced and sophisticated insertion point of the axle 157b of framework lock pin 157 is arranged on the correct position among the recessed portion 135a of pillar 103.The tip of the axle 157b of lock pin is assembled to assembly opening, and major diameter part 158 is assembled to the dovetail of recessed portion 135a, so that stay 105 is fixed on pillar 103 and is locked into pillar 103.

Figure 25 is the part birds-eye view, show stay 105 and be fixed in pillar 103, and the liner 116 that is assembled to stay 105 is pushed down the state of the side of product 100 with fixed product.By Figure 25, can recognize, thereby the tip of framework lock pin 157 is assembled to the inner space that reaches pillar in the assembly opening that is arranged on pillar 103 recessed portion 135a, the major diameter part 158 of most advanced and sophisticated side is assembled to the dovetail of recessed portion 135a, so that stay 105 is fixed on the pillar 103 and is locked into pillar 103.Thereby the side that also will be appreciated that liner 116 abuts the side of product 100 and pushes down product.

Like this, when product was pushed down by the stay that is equipped with liner 116, the vibration meeting with respect to product during transportation was absorbed by liner 116 effectively.Yet,, wish that the distortion (distortion during weight application) of stay 105 is little from the angle that prevents that product from moving or excessively rocking.Equally, in each separator 114,114B and the 114C of above explanation, wish that also the base portion of liner assembling has small deformation when buffering.

Explain according to present embodiment by the packing of 101 pairs of product/article of packing device and the operation of unpacking with reference to Figure 26 and 27.Figure 26 is a planar view and Figure 27 is the lateral plan of packing device 101.

When packaging product/article, remove the pillar 103 and the top board 104 of packing device from tray 102.Then product/article are installed on the tray 102.Length (this length can be conditioned in advance) corresponding to the height adjustment pillar 103 that product will be installed, four pillars 103 are assembled to the assembled portion 102c at place, four angles of tray, thereby pillar is arranged on the tray, panel 107 inserts between the pillars, thereby and the upper end of each pillar engage with the bonding part of top board 104 top board 104 be assembled on the pillar.Pillar 103 and tray 102 and pillar 103 and top board 104 are pinned by lockout mechanism separately.Separator 114 is fixed on pillar 103 suitably and installs between the product to prevent rocking or moving of product.Stay 105 is placed between the pillar 103.Liner 116 is assembled to stay 105 to prevent rocking or moving of product.Product can be stamped plastic bag and be used for protection or similar purpose.Basic packaging operation is finished like this.When heavy product or article are installed,, can use the fork-shaped elevator because the forked element jack is arranged in the tray 102.Thereby can regulate length because pillar 103 is made of upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b, therefore can install and pack different product/article.

For the operation of unpacking, the locking between releasing top board 104 and the cooresponding pillar 103 is to remove top board 104, then from removing panel 107 between the pillar from pillar.And, remove the locking between pillar 103 and the tray 102, thereby remove pillar 103, to finish the basic operation of unpacking to pull out pillar 103 from assembled portion 102c.The removal of stay 105 or similar operation can be carried out in the suitable stage.After unpacking, separator 114 is placed in the pillar 103, shortens the length of pillar 103, thereby has reduced carrying work and reduced the space during storage when the collecting packing device in the warehouse.And the pillar 103 with two-part construction is integrally fixed, and can prevent that therefore upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b disconnect.

Though by the explaination instance interpretation the present invention, the present invention is not limited to this.

The shape of pillar (strut member) and retainer (latch member) (block), structure etc. can change suitably.For example, projection 134 and recessed portion 135 can be formed on upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b on the two.Yet, can be that projection 134 only is set on a side, and recessed portion 135 only is set on opposite side.In the example of being explained, projection is formed on the outside face of upper supporting column 103a and lower supporting rod 103b, and recessed portion 135 is formed on the inside face, but also may be opposite situation.Projection 134 can be arranged on the identical surface with recessed portion 135.

And the length adjustment of pillar (strut member) and the number of times or the number of stages of width adjusting are chosen wantonly.The shape and the number that are used for assembling slidably the structure of two-piece type pillar (projection 134 and recessed portion 135 in this example) are also chosen wantonly.Suitable material can be used for each parts.The top plate can have gap or space, for example, can make the mesh that is made of resin.Between pillar and the top plate and the lockout mechanism between pillar and the tray be not limited to the example of being explained.Article by the packing device packing are not limited to imaging device, can be any article that can be installed on the mounting base (tray).

In example illustrated in figures 1 and 2, panel 107 is installed between the pillar 103.Yet panel 107 can not installed, shown in Fig. 2 B.

Be used for the arm 133a of block 133 of adjustable fixing 103 length and the cylindrical shape that 133b (Fig. 4 is to Fig. 8) has hollow.Yet strengthening rib 133h can be arranged on the inside of

arm

133a and 133b suitably, as shown in figure 29, thereby guarantee to insert or the intensity when pulling out arm, and the bump that produces by vibration when bearing transportation.

Like this, the packing device that addresses the above problem comprises: mounting base, article are installed on this pedestal; The top plate, it is configured to be arranged on the described article that are installed on the described mounting base; And strut member, it supports described top plate; Wherein said strut member comprises first parts and second parts, and described first parts and described second parts cooperate each other slidably, so that the adjustable length of described strut member.

In the packing device according to present embodiment, the strut member of support, top plate comprises first parts and second parts, and first parts and second parts cooperate each other slidably, so that the adjustable length of described strut member.Therefore, different products can be installed and pack to the length (highly) that can regulate strut member corresponding to the size (highly) of the product that will install therefore.

Because strut member has the roughly shape of L on cross-sectional plane, the intensity of strut member can improve.

First parts and second parts are mounted slidably the simple structure of the formula of being integral, and therefore reduce the parts expense.

Because a plurality of projections and recessed portion correspondingly are arranged on first parts and second parts, first parts and second parts can accurately be worked in coordination, thereby can slide.

Because at least a portion projection of a plurality of projections and recessed portion and recessed portion form the dovetail shape, first parts and second parts can prevent to come off, and first parts and second parts are fixing slidably simultaneously.

And, because be provided with the fixed cell that first parts and second parts is fixed on the desired location, so the length of strut member (highly) can be set to Len req.

The length of strut member (highly) can adjusted stepwise, and the operator can regulate length at an easy rate.

Because fixed cell comprises that two are inserted arm, and the assembly opening that the insertion arm inserts respectively is separately positioned on first parts and second parts, fixes reliably so first parts and second parts are inserted arms by two.

And, because two of fixed cell insert arms and insert respectively and be assembled on the L shaped respective side, the intersection point of the L shaped dual-side of first and second parts is placed therebetween, so first parts and second parts are fixed reliably.Especially, even from side or from the bevelled direction application of force during to strut member, fixed cell also is difficult to move, and is difficult to come off.In addition, cross-sectional plane is that the first and second L shaped parts are difficult to distortion (this distortion makes L shaped opening).

Because the bonding part of fixed cell and first or second part bonding are so fixed cell is prevented from coming off from strut member.Guaranteed that enough intensity has reduced the weight of fixed cell simultaneously again.Can guarantee that also fixed cell inserts the intensity of arm.

Because be provided with the grip portion (hplding part) that is used for when pulling out fixed cell, controlling fixed cell, so fixed cell is pulled out easily.

And lockout mechanism locks onto mounting base with strut member, and strut member can be prevented from coming off/deviating from from mounting base.

Strut member can closely be arranged on the mounting base in vertical mode.

Because panel is fixed in vertical mode and is arranged between a plurality of strut members of mounting base,, the side of product can be protected by panel so being installed.

Be fixed on strut member because be used to push down the article casting die (separator) of the product that is installed on the mounting base, thus rocking or moving of product be prevented from, thereby prevent to damage product.

And, because the product that causes of vibration moves and can be suppressed reliably, can realize the location of high universalizable during transportation, and no matter the size of product how.Product can be prevented from impaired.Corresponding to product, rotate the article casting die and be located in place.

And when collection or storage package device, the article casting die can be stored in the inboard of strut member outer wall, so the article casting die does not constitute burden.

Because the article casting die is to be made of base portion and the liner that is installed on the base portion, liner can be pushed down product and can not damage product.

Stay is fixed between the strut member pushing down the installation product, thereby prevents rocking or moving of product, therefore prevents that product is impaired.The liner that is installed on the stay can be pushed down product and not damage product.

Because a plurality of liners mounting portion is arranged on the stay, liner can be installed in place and go up.

Because liner can be installed in the optional position of liner mounting portion, so liner can be installed in place corresponding to the product that will install.

Because liner is collapsible (retractable), therefore, can push down product corresponding to the product of different size.

Because liner can fold or launch, so the size of liner (thickness) is easy to change to adapt to different products.

Because liner can be dismantled from base portion or stay, change so work as damaged pads or be easy to when breaking.

Prevent that liner from preventing the part that comes off from what base portion or stay came off because be provided with, liner can be owing to coming off because of carelessness.

Because damper element is filled in the liner, so liner can be pushed down product effectively, even product is very heavy.

Moving of the product that produces owing to vibration during transportation can be suppressed, thereby can locate reliably.

Because the bonding part that is used to make stay and support engages is provided, so stay is easy to be assembled to strut member.

Because the lock part branch that engages with dovetail on being arranged on strut member is formed in the bonding part of stay, so thereby stay is easy to be fixed to strut member to be positioned, and stay is difficult to come off.

Because be provided with the stay fixed part that is used for stay is fixed to strut member, the stay fixed part is prevented from coming off from strut member.

And the stay fixed part is easy to be fixed to strut member, and the stay fixed part can be prevented from coming off.

Explain an alternative embodiment of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The transparent view of Figure 30 shows, and according to a state that product is packaged of in one embodiment of the invention a kind of packing device, Figure 31 is the decomposition view of the structure of packing device.

As Figure 30 and shown in Figure 31, comprise according to a kind of packing device 201 of the embodiment of the invention: tray 202, this tray are the mounting bases that product 100 is installed on it; Four pillars 203, they are assembled to four corners of tray 202; Top board (lid) 104, it is installed on each pillar 203.Pillar 203 is strut members of roof supporting 204.

According to embodiments of the invention, tray 202 is formed from a resin, and forked element jack 202a is arranged among the tray, is used for inserting the forked element of fork-shaped elevator.And, reserve the periphery of tray upper surface by the upper surface of depressing tray, just make recessed portion 202b be formed on the upper surface of tray, damper element 205 is arranged among the recessed portion 202b.Liner plate 206 is from the top assembling of damper element 205, so that when assembling liner plate 206, do not have diff-H between the upper surface of liner plate 206 and the upper surface of tray (peripheral upper surface).Therefore, thereby form the plane, but product can move easily and workability also can improve when loading the product with castor because the height of the height of the peripheral upper surface of tray and tray 206 upper surfaces matches each other.The assembled portion 202c that is used for fixing pillar 203 is arranged on the place, four angles of tray periphery.

The shape that liner plate 206 has covers the recessed portion 202b on the tray upper surface, and the upper surface of liner plate (product installation surface) forms the aspect that does not have uneven part.On the other hand, the rib (not shown) is arranged on the back of the liner plate opposite with the article installation surface with the state that protrudes, and keeps predetermined amount of deflection with respect to the weight that is installed in the article on the liner plate 206 simultaneously so that liner plate can not break.Has the intersection that forms along diagonal line in the shape of the rib of liner plate back in the place of the shank of the product that will install (castor or similarly position), higher intensity is provided, product as shown in Figure 30 is the same, a kind of imaging device is packaged in the chest, yet the shape of rib is parallel to four sides of liner plate periphery so that amount of deflection to be provided in other place.Because because the stress concentration that the bending of liner plate causes is at core, the stretched portion (not shown) is arranged on the core of liner plate 206 to meet with stresses.Stretched portion is set so that the thickness of slab of stretched portion greater than the thickness of slab of other parts (peripheral part).In this example, tray 202 and liner plate 206 are made by identical materials (this material is a resin according to the present invention).When terminated the service life of tray 202 and liner plate 206, tray 202 melted with liner plate 206 together, and utilizes once more as regrown material.

Damper element 205 in the recess 202b of tray 202 arranged according to the present invention is formed by foamed materials, utilizes two types material, i.e. the material (high bubble content damper element) of material of low foam ratio (low bubble content damper element) and high foam ratio.Low foam damper element is arranged on the part by the product shank that will install (castor or similar position) weight, and high bubble content damper element is arranged on other parts.Therefore, vertical vibrating during about transportation, the weight that is applied on the liner plate 206 corresponding to the shank of product is absorbed by low bubble content damper element, and corresponding to the part between the product shank be applied to liner plate 206 weight since the bending of liner plate 206 absorbed by high bubble content damper element.Therefore, being delivered to the vibration that is mounted product is weakened.

In the tray of routine, because the article that are packaged individually in the cardboard box are packed simply, only be provided with thick installation surface and bear the weight of article, when the such product of imaging device for example is installed, the weight of product is concentrated the shank that is applied to product, and this structure is not taken the collision of product into account.Therefore, when transporting and sending the such product of imaging device for example, need to strengthen product structure or provide pooling feature, this vertical vibrating when bearing transportation to product self with conventional tray.Yet this product structure or pooling feature be not worth aspect the use of product after transportation, therefore need a useless cost.On the other hand, in the packing device 201 according to present embodiment, product can betransported and send, and prevents that simultaneously product is damaged, and needn't strengthen its structure.

Pillar 203 comprises that cross-sectional plane is roughly L shaped first parts (upper supporting column) 203a and second parts (lower supporting rod) 203b, and pillar forms like this so that by with upper supporting column 203a and the lower supporting rod 203b length of regulating stacked on top of each other.Promptly, for each pillar among upper supporting column 203a and the lower supporting rod 203b is provided with a plurality of conjugate foramen (not shown), the height of pillar 203 can be regulated like this, that is, the conjugate foramen with two pillars combines so that pillar 203 has predetermined height (length) and the retainer (not shown) is assembled to these conjugate foramens.Each pillar 203 is assembled to the assembled portion 202c of the upper surface corner that is arranged on tray 202, and is provided with in vertical mode on tray.

Top board 204 is installed on the pillar 203, is installed in the top of the product on the liner plate 206 with covering.Top board 204 and corresponding pillar 203 removably are engaged with each other by the bonding part.Shown in figure 32, the core 204a of top board is arranged to the state that projects upwards from peripheral part 204b, and core 204a is connected by hypotenuse 204c with peripheral part 204b.Because the core 204a of top board projects upwards from peripheral part 204b, therefore to compare with the chest that top board has a simple plane shape, intensity further is improved.

Packing device 201 according to the present invention is constructed such that tray 202 can be stacked on the top board 204, so packing device 201 can pile up each other, and the shank 202d of tray 202 can pile up and can be installed on the peripheral part 204b of top board 204.Positioning unit (204b, the back will be explained) is arranged on the top board surface, with location tray 202 when tray 202 is installed to top board 204.Top board 204 also can be stacked on each other and go up.At this moment, because top board has the shape of stretching, so the top board of downside may be fitted to the top board of upside, even top board 204 can multistage piling up and top board 204 can not collapse.

Figure 33 is the birds-eye view of top board 204.Figure 34 is the upward view of top board 204.Shown in Figure 33 and 34, a plurality of strengthening groove 205a, 205b and 205c are formed on the upper surface of top board 204.Top board 204 according to present embodiment is formed from a resin, and has 4 millimeters thickness, and each strengthening groove 205a, 205b and 205c have 20 millimeters the degree of depth.Four sides that strengthening groove 205a is parallel to top board extend (hereinafter referred to as " parallel slot "), and strengthening groove 205b connects four angles (hereinafter referred to as " skewed slot ") of top board with the diagonal way setting.Strengthening groove 205c is arranged on the peripheral part 204b (hereinafter referred to as " circumferential groove ") of top board.About the parallel slot 205a according to present embodiment, 5 parallel slots extend to the left and right, and 5 parallel slots extend at vertical direction, are provided with 10 parallel slots altogether.About skewed slot 205b, four angles that two grooves connect top board are set altogether.Circumferential groove 205c is arranged on each peripheral part 204b of top board, is provided with 4 circumferential groove altogether.Top board 204 according to present embodiment is formed from a resin, and as shown in figure 34, each strengthening groove 205a, 205b and 205c are formed by resin molding system, makes that the groove (recessed portion) on the cover top surface protrudes (thereby forming projection) to the rear surface of top board.

Parallel slot 205a is set up as explained above.About its arrangement, if the width of the core 204a of supposition top board 204 is 100%, the end of the position distance center part 204a of each parallel slot 205a setting is 12.5%, 27% and 50% so.Therefore, horizontal parallel groove 205a and vertical parallel slot 205a are separately positioned on center (at 50% place of core 204a width), and one is horizontal one is vertical direction, and intersects each other with the right angle in the center of top board 204.Other 8 parallel slots are arranged on the outside of center parallel slot with good balance.If top board 204 is square or rectangle, two skewed slot 205b that connect 204 4 angles of top board must intersect each other in the center of top board, and intersect at center and two parallel slot 205a of top board.Parallel slot 205a and circumferential groove 205c act on the warpage of top board outer rim and the bending of core effectively, and two skewed slot 205b act on the distortion of whole top board effectively, therefore prevent the distortion and the bending of top board.

Reinforcing section 206 is arranged on the place that each strengthening groove 205a, 205b and 205c intersect each other.Reinforcing section 206 is arranged to the projection in the strengthening groove 205.Yet as shown in figure 34, reinforcing section 206 forms the recessed portion of sagging in the strengthening groove 205, thereby forms the projection of being seen from behind.The upper surface of reinforcing section 206 (surface upper surface) forms the surface co-planar with the core 204a of top board 204.If strengthening groove 205a, 205b and the 205c place of intersecting each other that part of remains a groove, the intensity of intersection just reduces so.Yet,,, just can prevent strength retrogression in the intersection because reinforcing section 206 is arranged on the part that strengthening groove 205a, 205b and 205c intersect each other according to present embodiment.The reinforcing section that is arranged on the top board center that four strengthening grooves (two parallel slot 205a and two skewed slot 205b) intersect each other is bigger than other reinforcing section.Reinforced wall 207 is set, its middle part between the reinforcing section 206 of each strengthening groove 205a, 205b and 205c.Yet, because in peripheral part 205c, do not intersect, thus reinforcing section 206 is not set, and reinforced wall 207 is arranged in the groove with suitable spacing.The intensity of groove increases because of reinforced wall 207.

A plurality of strengthening ribs 208 are arranged on the back of top board with suitable spacing.Strengthening rib 208 is provided with to the sloping portion 204c of top board from outermost parallel slot 205a.A plurality of strengthening ribs 209 also are arranged on the peripheral part 204b of top board with suitable spacing.

In the packing device 201 according to present embodiment, because strengthening

groove

205a, 205b and 205c are set to the reinforcing section of top board 204, the intensity of top board 204 is compared with conventional packing device greatly to be increased.Because strengthening

groove

205a, 205b and 205c as reinforcing section form from the groove of the outside of top board 204 recessed (protruding in the back), the cross-sectional area of top board increases, and top board has the intensity higher than the intensity of the straight rib of routine.And, because be provided with a plurality of reinforcing sections, for example: as 10 parallel slot 205a of strengthening groove, 2 skewed slot 205b and 4 circumferential groove 205c; Be arranged on the reinforcing section 206 of strengthening groove infall; Be arranged on the reinforced wall 207 in the strengthening groove; With the strengthening

rib

208 and 209 that is arranged on the top board back, packing device 201 has high strength.

In the palletizing device of routine, do not imagine at lid (top board) and go up the installation article, so the intensity of lid is little.Therefore, when on the lid at the packing device of routine article being installed, thereby lid can conflict by upper surface crooked and product, so product may damage or break.Yet, in packing device 201 according to present embodiment, because the intensity of top board 204 is enough high, for example, when the packaged device 201 of imaging equipment is packed and is transported and sends, selectable unit and consumptive material with product can be installed on the top board 204, so selectable unit and consumptive material can transport and send with product.

In addition, because the intensity of top board 204 is enough high, big gap (the in the vertical direction vibratory magnitude only needs the gap that forms during corresponding to the product jerk value, corresponding to transportation) need not arranged between the upper surface of the product on being installed in tray 202 and top board, volume when therefore having reduced transportation and storage, and improved transportation, send and efficiency of storage.

And because the intensity of top board 204 is enough high, therefore the packing device 201 according to present embodiment can be with piling up that product is mounted in stable conditionly.Therefore, packing device 201 is used to reduce the storage area in warehouse etc. and improves conveying efficiency useful.

As shown in figure 34, the pillar bonding part 210 that is used for form brace 203 is formed on the place, four angles of top board 204 back.Be assembled to pillar bonding part 210 by the upper end with pillar 203, its back from top board is seen as recessed portion, and top board 204 just is installed on the pillar 203.According to present embodiment, be provided with the fixed mechanism that is used for fixing pillar 203 and top board 204.In this fixed mechanism, the every end of sliding part 211 two circumferential groove 205c opposite ends that is arranged on top board 204 sides is provided with one (being provided with four sliding parts altogether), and these two circumferential groove 205c are arranged on two among four circumferential groove 205c among the top board 204 peripheral part 204b.Sliding part 211 is slidably disposed on the longitudinal direction of the groove side of circumferential groove 205c, is positioned at the opposite end of circumferential groove 205c, and preventing of preventing that sliding part from coming off from the groove part (not shown) that comes off is formed on circumferential groove 205c side.According to present embodiment, the opposite end of circumferential groove 205c of being arranged to reinforcing section is used for the sliding part 211 of fixation locking mechanism slidably also as shell.

Whole circumferential groove 205c or circumferential groove 205c have tapered cross-section or semi-circular section (shape that top (open surfaces) is wideer than the bottom) in the shape of that part of formation that sliding part 211 places are set, and the cross-sectional plane of sliding part 211 preferably forms tapered cross-section or semi-circular section.Therefore, when sliding part 211 is arranged on circumferential groove 205c, be convenient to insert sliding part 211, thereby improved workability.

Figure 35 is the mounting portion between pillar and the top board and the section-drawing of lockout mechanism.Figure 36 is the partial enlarged view of the upper surface of top board 204, shows the parts of latch-up structure top board side.Shown in Figure 35 and 36, in sliding part 211, cylindrical part 211a (L) and 211a (R) are arranged on the opposite end of case shape part 211b with outstanding form, and the case shape partly is roughly rectangular shape and its upper surface has opening.Bonding part 211c is arranged on the core of case shape part 211b at longitudinal direction, and is outwards outstanding with the opposite side from case shape part 211b.

On the other hand, in the circumferential groove 205c that is provided with sliding part 211, on the wall of the longitudinal direction of its outer end and on the surface of reinforced wall 207 opening being set, so that cylindrical part 211a (L and R) can stretch out.Lock pin 212 is configured to the semicircle form outstanding from vertical wall of circumferential groove 205c, corresponding to the bonding part 211c of sliding part 211.Sliding part according to present embodiment is formed from a resin.Therefore, when along circumferential groove 205c vertically suppress sliding part 211 time, bonding part 211c engages and is pushed down with lock pin 212, has the case shape part 211b elastic deformation of the upper surface of opening, bonding part 211c also shifts to opposite side through lock pin 212.

When in the circumferential groove 205c of sliding part 211 at Figure 35 during sway, shown in Figure 35 and 36, when sliding part 211 has moved on to the left end of circumferential groove 205c, the left-interface of bonding part 211c and lock pin 212 rather than with its center partial engagement, sliding part 211 remains on latched position, and wherein the left cylindrical part 211a (L) among Figure 35 protrudes from the wall of circumferential groove 205c.When sliding part 211 moves on to the right side of circumferential groove 205c, bonding part 211c engage with the right side of lock pin 212 rather than with its center partial engagement, sliding part 211 remains on the latch-release position, and in this latch-release position, the right cylindrical part 211a (R) among Figure 35 stretches out from reinforced wall 207.In this latch-release position, the left cylindrical part 211a (L) among Figure 35 is in the state that is pulled in the circumferential groove 205c.

Because the every end of sliding part 211 in circumferential groove 205c opposite end is provided with one, Figure 35 with 36 in the structure of opposite side (right side) be identical with operation, though about relation opposite.Therefore, make sliding part 211 be maintained at latched position or latch-release position (, sliding part 211 being set) by mobile sliding part 211 in circumferential groove 205c in the outermost of circumferential groove 205c.

As shown in figure 35, the patchhole that the cylindrical part 211a of sliding part 211 inserts (not having the Reference numeral indication) is arranged on the inwall on pillar 203 tops, when sliding part 211 moves on to latched position, cylindrical part 211a is inserted in the patchhole of pillar 203, therefore can prevent that top board 204 from coming off on the top of pillar 203.On the contrary, sliding part 211 is moved on to the latch-release position, cylindrical part 211a pulls out from the patchhole of pillar 203, therefore top board 204 is removed from pillar 203.The display unit 213 that is used to refer to the direction that locks with sliding part 211 releasing top boards is arranged among the peripheral part 204b of top board 204, and top board 204 is positioned at the outside of circumferential groove 205c, and sliding part 211 is arranged among the circumferential groove 205c.

Figure 37 is arranged on the enlarged view of the strengthening rib of top board 204 peripheral inboards.As shown in figure 37, horizontal component 209a and wall 209b are formed in the strengthening rib 209.When top board 204 is stacked on when going up each other, or when top board 204 is stacked on the tray 202 in storage or similarly the time, the horizontal component 209a and the wall 209b that are arranged in the strengthening rib 209 become the bonding part, engage with bight on top board 204 upper surfaces or the bight on tray 202 upper surfaces.Because horizontal component 209a and wall 209b are provided with as the bonding part, when top board 204 is stacked on when going up each other or top board 204 when being stacked on the mounting base, two parts can closely pile up.

As shown in figure 38, engage projection 217 and be arranged on the rear surface of top board 204, to engage the strengthening groove 205a of top board 204.When top board is stacked on when going up each other, no problem during the collecting packing device in transit if it is little to pile up number, as long as the sloping portion (Figure 34) of the strengthening rib 208 by lip-deep sloping portion 204c of top board (Figure 32) and top board back positions.Yet when piling up number when increasing as shown in figure 39, position that might the opposite end is because adding up of little skew (a) and skew (na) too much between the lowermost level and the superlative degree between the plate of top.If the horizontal vibration when transportation is big, uppermost top board wigwag motion very big (na+na) concentrates on the normality position, and therefore the top board that piles up can cave in.

Yet, the joint projection 217 that is arranged on top board 204 rear surfaces is assembled to strengthening groove 205a, even when big horizontal vibration takes place, multistagely be stacked on the caving in of top board 204 of going up each other and just can be prevented reliably.Even the departing from greatly of amplitude peak 2na (displacement) as shown in Figure 39 takes place in the top board that piles up, top board can be fixed by bonding part and the strengthening groove 205a that joint projection 217 forms, and therefore, coming off of uppermost top board just can be prevented from.

Engaging projection 217 is configured to from the strengthening groove bottom of strengthening groove 205a opposite end outstanding.In its opposite end the strengthening groove 205a that engages projection 217 places is set and is placed in lateral middle among Figure 40 A, the joint projection 217 that is arranged on strengthening groove 205a opposite end, middle part is set at the front-end and back-end of top board among Figure 33.Therefore, engage strengthening groove 205a that projection 217 is assembled to place the horizontal middle part of Figure 33 and before and after extend (vertical direction of Figure 33).Engage the bonding part 218 that projection 217 is assembled to middle part strengthening groove 205a, a short part on another strengthening groove 205a that this bonding part is separated by two side direction strengthening groove 205a in nearside and distally, described another strengthening groove 205a is in the transversely extension of Figure 33.

It is the outermost edge (opposite end, front and back among Figure 33 and the opposite end, the left and right sides among Figure 38) of top board 204 middle part 204a (Figure 32) that the position that engages projection 217 is set.Because the jerk value of the installation product that vibration causes, the position that engages projection 217 be set be the position that projection herein can not disturb or conflict product according to when transportation.Therefore, for example, when the product that is installed on the packing device is the imaging device of duplicator and so on, automatic document feeder (ADF) places the topmost of imaging device, be arranged in the position that is lower than ADF by engaging projection 217, be about to engage rear portion (part of drive system or similar system normally is set) that projection 217 is arranged on imaging device the place ahead operating panel, imaging device or two sides print unit on the imaging device side and manual pallet part on the position, can prevent to disturb the product of installation.

Engaging projection 217 comprises, shown in Figure 40 B, the first lock pin 217a that departs from corresponding to left and right directions (with the restriction displacement of top board 204 on left and right directions) in the drawings, with the second lock pin 217b (with the displacement of restriction top board 204 on fore-and-aft direction) that (fore-and-aft direction among Figure 33) is arranged on the first lock pin 217a both sides that departs from corresponding to vertical direction among the figure, second lock pin is arranged on the opposite side of the first lock pin 217a.

Because can causing on the first lock pin 217a, side to side vibrations applies power, shown in Figure 40 B, so thereby reinforcing section 217c is set prevents that to connect the first lock pin 217a in its both sides first lock pin from being decreased.Therefore, from the rear surface of top board, engage the shape that projection 217 forms roughly " H ".

When top board 204 piles up on each other, above the lower surface of top board periphery contact with the upper surface of the periphery 204b of top board (Figure 32) and mounted thereto.From the end of the core 204a of top board to the set tiny irregular part of the upper surface of sloping portion 204c and peripheral part 204b as deviation preventing part 219 (illustrating with thick line Figure 38).As shown in Figure 41, deviation preventing part 219 (illustrating with hatching) is around the periphery setting of top board 204.Deviation preventing part 219 can have great friction coefficient by sticking, and (for example, rubber) parts form, thereby replace tiny irregular part.By this deviation preventing part 219 is set, can prevent top board 204 departing from when over each other piling up, therefore prevent that top board from departing from the horizontal direction each other greatly.

Shown in the top view of tray as shown in Figure 55 like that, the liner plate 506 that is encased among the recessed portion 502b (Figure 51) is placed on the upper surface of tray 502, pillar assembled portion 502c is separately positioned on the place, four angles of tray periphery.Assembly opening 527A, 527B, 527C and 527D are arranged on the correct position of liner plate 506 upper surfaces, be used to assemble detouchable locations 526, this locations is pushed down product or the similar article that are installed on the liner plate 506, thus location and fixed product or similar article.Figure 56 shows the state that detouchable locations 526 is assembled to assembly opening 527.Each assembly opening 527B of assembly opening 527 is formed by many apertures respectively to 527D, thereby can regulate the rigging position of detachable locations 526.In Figure 55, the front surface of tray has been indicated in the left side, that is, and and the front surface among Figure 51 and 55.The assembling projection 525 that departs from when being used for preventing to pile up tray 502 is arranged on four positions of the upper surface of tray 502 left sides and right side (upside of Figure 55 and downside) periphery with outstanding form.Be used to be assembled to the bottom surface that the assembly opening (not shown) that assembles projection 525 is arranged on the tray shank.Therefore, can pile up a plurality of trays 502.

Figure 57 A is the side cross-sectional view of liner plate 506.Figure 57 B is the back view of liner plate 506.Shown in Figure 57 A and 57B, the upper surface of liner plate 506 (product installation surface) forms the aspect that does not have uneven part.On the other hand, a plurality of ribs 528 are arranged on the rear surface of the liner plate relative with the product installation surface with outstanding form.Form rib 528 so that liner plate can be not impaired, keep simultaneously with respect to being installed in the predefined curved of product weight on the liner plate 506.Rib 528 on the liner plate rear surface be included in cross rib 528a that transversely (among Figure 57 B vertical on) of tray extend, perpendicular to cross rib 528a in back the place ahead of tray upwards (left and right directions among Figure 57 B) vertical rib 528b of extending, with respect to cross rib 528a and vertical rib 528b bevelled diagonal rib 528c and be arranged to peripheral rib 528d around liner plate.Cross rib 528a and vertical rib 528b are arranged to be parallel to four sides (cross rib 528a is parallel to the front side and the rear side of tray, and vertically rib 528b is parallel to the left side and the right side of tray) of tray periphery, and diagonal rib 528c is arranged to tilt with respect to the periphery of tray.As shown in Figure 57 A, the height of diagonal rib 528c is higher than cross rib 528a and vertical rib 528b.

The adjacent domain of supposing 506 4 bights of liner plate is first reinforcing section 531 (by single-point long and short dash line area surrounded) that combines cross rib 528a and diagonal rib 528c, and the space between each first reinforcing section 531 is second reinforcing section 532 (by two point long and short dash line area surrounded) that combines cross rib 528a and vertical rib 528b.The rib density that first reinforcing section 531 has is higher than the rib density of second reinforcing section 532, therefore is the part that intensity increases.

First reinforcing section 531 of four positions is corresponding to the shank of article or those parts of castor installation place, as imaging device as the packaged situation of product.The intensity of these parts is gained in strength by first reinforcing section 531 with diagonal rib, and other parts are corresponding to second reinforcing section 532 that is made of the parallel rib with respect to four sides around the liner plate, thereby presents bending a little.

Because the weight of product is not applied to the core of liner plate, so can omit rib.Therefore, recessed portion is arranged on the core of liner plate 506 as stretched portion 529.As shown in Figure 57 A, can see the thickness of slab thickening of stretched portion 529.According to present embodiment, tray 502 and liner plate 506 are made (is resin according to present embodiment) by identical materials.When the useful life longevity of tray 502 and liner plate 506 stopped, tray 502 and liner plate 506 can be melted together and utilize once more as regrown material.

Figure 58 is a top view of removing the tray of liner plate 506, shows the damper element under the liner plate 506 that is arranged in tray.In Figure 51, the damper element that is arranged among the recessed portion 502b schematically is shown damper element 505.Yet, as among Figure 58 in more detail shown in, for example first damper element 551 and second damper element 552 are arranged among the recessed portion 502b of tray 502 according to the damper element of two types of present embodiments.Form by foamed materials according to first damper element 551 of present embodiment and second damper element 552, first damper element 551 forms (low bubble content damper element) by the material with low foam ratio, and second damper element 552 forms (high bubble content damper element) by the material with high foam ratio.Low bubble content damper element (first damper element 551) is arranged in the part by shank that article will be installed or similar partial weight-bearing, and high bubble content damper element (second damper element 552) is arranged in the other parts.Therefore, when transportation with respect to vertical vibrating, the weight that is applied to liner plate 506 corresponding to the article shank is absorbed by the damper element (first damper element 551) of low bubble content, because the bending of liner plate 506, absorbed by the damper element of high bubble content (second damper element 552) corresponding to the weight that is applied to liner plate 506 of the part between the shank of product.Therefore, being delivered to the bump that article are installed is alleviated.

Explained rib on liner plate 506 rear surfaces with reference to figure 57A and 57B.Yet, the power that is produced by vibration during transportation concentrates on the part corresponding to first reinforcing section 531, it is the place that is mounted to picture device legs or similar position herein, if foam is than high, the distortion of damper element increases, thereby only has first reinforcing section 531 to sink in the recessed portion 502b of tray.Therefore, might be because of second reinforcing section 532, the bottom surface of the article of installation rather than shank or castor bump liner plate.Therefore, for first damper element 551 in being arranged in liner plate first reinforcing section 531, use the damper element of low bubble content, so that product of installing or article do not break or do not damage with damping characteristics.

Figure 59 is the planar view of the basic configuration of first damper element 551 (low bubble content damper element).As shown in Figure 59, first damper element 551 that is formed by foamed materials is included in

projection

553a, 553b, 553c and the 553d on the base portion 559.Each

projection

553a and 553b are assembled between diagonal rib 528c in first reinforcing section 531 on liner plate 506 rear surfaces and the cross rib 528a and engage, thereby have

buffer action.Projection

553c and 553d are used to make second damper element 552 to engage with first damper element 551, and it highly is lower than the height of

projection

553a and 553b, and are disposed under liner plate 506 rear surface cross rib 528a and the vertical rib 528b.Be used for arranging that the recessed portion (not shown) of first damper element 551 is formed on the recessed portion 502b of tray.Because first damper element 551 places recessed portion, and

projection

553a and 553b are assembled between diagonal rib 528c and the cross rib 528a, so even when transportation tray 502 vibrations or rock also can prevent 551 displacements of first damper element.In first damper element 551, according to the orientation is set, the quantity of each projection 553 and layout can change, and therefore change the size and the shape of damper element.
