[0011]

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a lifting storage device according to the present invention.
This will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 1 to FIG. 6 show a first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, a parallel link and a storage unit lifting / lowering support unit A mainly configured by a support structure for the parallel link support the storage unit C so that the storage unit C can be raised and lowered. Of the storage board B, which is higher than the total height of the storage board B, and the lower empty space is used as another storage section E of a non-elevating type. A partition wall 101 is provided between the storage unit C and the storage unit C.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the storage unit elevating and lowering support unit A connects the parallel links 1 and 2 on both sides for supporting the storage unit C between the free ends to the left and right mounting bases 3 and 4. The pivots 5, 6 which are individually pivotally supported and which oppose the opposed front links 1 a, 2 a of the parallel links 1, 2 on both sides and which rotate together with the same are integrally connected by a coupling shaft 17. .
As a result, the mounting bases 3 and 4 are integrated, and the parallel links 1 and 2 on both sides are interlocked.

Therefore, the parallel links 1 and 2 on both sides pivotally supported by the mounting bases 3 and 4 constitute a unitized storage unit elevating and lowering support unit A, which is handled as one unit. Mounting bases 3 and 4 for storage board B
Can be easily attached to the inner surfaces on both sides by screws 10 or the like without the need for a special alignment work between the two. When the pivots 7 and 8 of the rear links 1b and 2b are also connected and integrated, the rigidity of integration of the mounting bases 3 and 4 and the interlocking rigidity of the parallel links 1 and 2 on both sides can be further increased.

The parallel links 1 and 2 are provided between the free ends of the front and rear links 1a and 1b, and between the links 2a and 2b.
Between the free ends of the mounting seats 1c, 2c
In a state where the storage unit C is not supported by the connection unit c, a complete parallel link on the storage unit lift support unit A side is formed. Therefore, the parallel link 1,
In order to support the storage portion C between the two free ends, the mounting seats 1c and 2c may be mounted on both side plates 9 of the storage portion C with screws 10 or the like.

Due to such an assembling structure, the storage device according to the present embodiment, in which the storage unit lifting support unit A is stored in the storage board B and the storage unit C is supported so as to be able to move up and down, can be easily and quickly assembled with a small number of work steps. be able to. The storage section C supported by the storage section elevating and lowering support unit A in the storage board B is stored by the parallel links 1 and 2 on both sides being raised and lowered on the mounting bases 3 and 4 about the pivots 5 to 8. The storage board is moved up and down between a storage position located in the board B as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and a take-out position in which the storage board B is pulled out and lowered as shown in FIG.

Further, since the parallel links 1 and 2 on both sides cooperate with each other, there is no difference in the support and movement of the storage portion C between the parallel links 1 and 2 on both sides, and the parallel links 1 and 2 on both sides are free. Even if the storage portion B supported between the ends is a simple low-rigidity type such as the cage type shown in the drawing, the storage portion C exhibits sufficient support rigidity to prevent the storage portion C from being twisted or shaken. , Can be made light and small as a whole.

In short, in the present embodiment, the storage portion C is stored and supported between the free ends of the parallel links 1 and 2 pivotally supported on the inner surfaces on both sides of the storage board B so that the storage portion C can be moved up and down. The articles are easily taken in and out by pulling down from the storage position in the board B to the take-out position, and after being stored, by raising the articles to the storage position in the storage board B so that they can be stored in a good shape and not obstruct other things. can do.

In particular, the lifting and lowering storage unit including the parallel links 1 and 2 and the storage unit lifting / lowering support unit A which is a support structure for supporting the parallel links 1 and 2 on the storage board B, and the storage unit C supported by the parallel links 1 and 2 are provided. , Housed below the storage board B, which is higher than these total heights, while exhibiting the storage function,
Since the remaining space is a non-elevating storage unit E, various items such as storage objects that are frequently taken in and out, and storage objects that are not suitable for the storage unit that raises and lowers the weight by separately using the lifting storage unit. It is convenient for users on organizing.

In this embodiment, another storage portion E is provided on the lower side of the storage board B, and another storage portion E is provided on the upper side of the storage board B as in the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. Even when the portion E is provided, the same operation and effect can be exerted.

However, whether the other storage section E is located above or below the storage board B may be selected according to the user's preference and use. In this case, the storage unit elevating and lowering support unit A and the partition wall 101 can be mounted on the user side, and it is advantageous to use the mounting holes 36 provided on the inner surfaces on both sides of the storage board B in multiple stages.

The partition wall 101 provided on the other storage section E provided below the storage board B of the present embodiment is located just below the lowering up / down locus of the storage section C as shown by an arrow in FIG. To be located at Thereby, even if the other storage unit E is under the storage unit C which moves up and down, it is possible to prevent the article from being stored in the trajectory which interferes with the movement of the other storage unit E. Eliminate the inconvenience that must be experienced.

On the other hand, the pivots 7, 8 pivotally supporting the rear links 1b, 2b of the parallel links 1, 2 and rotating together with them.
Between the mounting bases 3 and 4, damper mechanisms 11 and 12 for operating the speed of lowering the storage portion C of the parallel links 1 and 2 to the take-out position are operated. This damper mechanism 1
Even if only one of the pivots 7, 8 works on one of the pivots 7, 8, the parallel links 1, 2 on both sides can work together. Even if the two damper mechanisms 11 and 12 are shared and operated, they can be equally applied to the parallel links 1 and 2 on both sides regardless of whether they are of the same type.

The damper mechanisms 11 and 12 are provided with mounting bases 3a having both ends of the mounting bases 3 and 4 bent outward.
It is accommodated and operated in the space between the spaces 4a and between the mounting seats 3a and between the mounting seats 4a.

The damper mechanisms 11 and 12 are operated by utilizing the rotation of the pivots 7 and 8, and are mounted on the support structure of the links 1a and 2b separated from the links 1a and 2b.
It can be provided compactly by utilizing the rotation operations of ~ 8.

More specifically, one damper mechanism 11 operates a spiral spring 21 and a rotary oil damper 22, and the other damper mechanism 12 operates only a spiral spring 31.

The helical spring 21 of the damper mechanism 11 is wound around a portion of the pivot 7 projecting inward from the mounting plate 20. As shown in FIGS.
A large diameter is received by a locking member 25 welded to the inner surface of the mounting plate 20, and the other end 21 b of the mounting plate 20 is rotatably mounted on the pivot 5 between the mounting plate 20 and the mounting base 3. And with a play S against the push pin 24 attached to any of the plurality of attachment holes 23 on the gear 26 of FIG.

As a result, when the gear 26 rotates in conjunction with the operation in which the parallel links 1 and 2 fall down in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. First, the end 21 of the spiral spring 21
b, but the play S disappears at a predetermined intermediate position where the inclination of the parallel links 1 and 2 increases and the weight of the storage section C increases the downward movement speed. The spiral spring 21 is gradually charged between the one end 21a which is pushed by the first member 21b and the one end 21a received by the locking member 25, and the weight of the storage portion C increases the descending speed. Even if the influence is caused as described above, the influence is reduced by the resistance at the time of the charging operation, so that the parallel links 1 and 2 can descend at a low speed.

The oil damper 22 is mounted on the inner surface of the mounting plate 20. The pinion gear 27 mounted on the rotary shaft 22a shown in FIG. 6 meshes with the gear 26, and the pivot shaft 7 when the parallel links 1 and 2 fall down. The rotation speed is increased and transmitted to the rotation shaft 22a.

Therefore, the rotating blade 22b attached to the rotating shaft 22a and the braking blade 22c in the oil damper 22
Is increased, and the rotational resistance of the rotary blade 22b by the oil sealed in the oil damper 22 is increased. Thus, the pulling speed from the position where the parallel links 1 and 2 start to fall down from the standing state to the position where the spiral spring 21 starts to work can be sufficiently limited with a small damper capacity.

The spiral spring 31 of the other damper mechanism 12
Is provided substantially in the same manner as the spiral spring 21 by the pivot 8 and the rotating disk 32 mounted on the pivot 8 instead of the gear 26. The difference from the case of the spiral spring 21 is that one end 31a of the spiral spring 31 is received by a locking bolt 33 screwed to the mounting plate 20.

By rotating the locking bolt 33, the locking bolt 33 advances to a position facing the end 31a,
It can be retracted from this facing position. By setting the locking bolt 33 to the retracted position, the other end 31 b of the spiral spring 31 is moved to the pushing pin 2 on the turntable 32.
4, the end bolt 31 does not receive the end 31a even if it is pushed toward the one end 31a, so that the spiral spring 31 is only idled around the pivot 8 and the parallel link 1 2, does not have a damper function. However, by setting the locking bolt 33 to the advanced position, the end 31b of the spiral spring 31 is moved by the pushing pin 24 to the end 31b.
a, the end 31a is fixed to the locking bolt 3
Since the spring 3 receives and does not escape, the spiral spring 31 is charged between both ends 31a and 31b, and exerts a damper function on the parallel links 1 and 2 like the spiral spring 21.

Thus, when the damper mechanism 12 is operated or not operated by moving the locking bolt 33 forward or backward, the damper function can be enhanced or weakened according to the weight of the object stored in the storage part C. . However, a plurality of such spiral springs can be mounted on the same pivot and selectively operated.

The gear 26 is provided with an arc-shaped long hole 26a through which a stopper pin 34 firmly mounted between the mounting base 3 and the mounting plate 20 passes.
At the position of the parallel links 1 and 2 where the storage section C descends to the removal position, the end of the elongated hole 26 a is
To prevent the parallel links 1 and 2 from rotating further downward. This prevents the storage section C from being excessively lowered beyond the predetermined take-out position.

The connecting shaft 17 connecting the pivots 5 and 6 is, for example, a pipe member as shown in the figure, and is screwed into the end portions 5a and 6a projecting from the mounting bases 3 and 4 of the pivots 5 and 6. The connection shaft 17 is fixed by 35 so that different lengths of the connection shaft 17 can be selectively used or replaced. Accordingly, it is possible to support the storage boards B having different lateral sizes and to support the storage section C having a size suitable for the storage boards B so as to be able to move up and down. Between the lower front portions of both side plates 9 of the storage section C, a handle 9a for elevating operation is provided.
Is installed.

On the inner surfaces on both sides of the storage board B, mounting holes 36 for mounting the mounting bases 3 and 4 are provided in multiple stages. When the height of the storage unit C is higher than the total height in a state where the storage unit C is supported, the mounting height of the storage unit lifting support unit A to the storage board B can be freely changed according to the height of the user. .

FIGS. 9A and 9B show a third embodiment of the present invention. A slit 102 for receiving the parallel links 1 and 2 is provided on the side wall 9 of the storage section C. The parallel links 1 and 2 are supported at their free ends so that they can be moved up and down.

Thus, the storage section C is received in the slit 102 provided in the side wall 9 of the storage section C to receive the parallel links 1 and 2, and is supported so that the free ends of the parallel links 1 and 2 can move up and down. Therefore, the inconvenience that the parallel links 1 and 2 are hidden in the side wall 9 of the storage section C and the user has to use it with care so as not to touch it is solved.

FIGS. 10 to 12 show a fourth embodiment of the present invention, in which mounting seats 1c, 2c provided at the free ends of the parallel links 1, 2 are fitted on the outer surface of the side wall 9 of the storage section C.
