Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a detachable container which can be detachably attached to an automobile equipped with a container attaching / detaching device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various types of containers have been proposed. Regarding loading / unloading, a method of loading / unloading from a double door type rear door is generally used. But,
The rear door is heavy, and the work of opening or closing the rear door when loading and unloading waste is severe. In addition, since the direction of loading and unloading is limited only to the rear, there is a problem in turning around in factories and warehouses and effective use of the surrounding space. Moreover, in order to make effective use of the space inside the container, it is necessary to push the packed things in order from the packed one, and that work inside the container is also necessary,
When unloading, it is necessary to lower the objects in order from the one near the door, and when it is desired to lower the things packed first, it is very troublesome.

[0003] Recently, in consideration of environmental issues, things are collected,
The technology to reuse is receiving attention. Recently, the handling of household electrical appliances for disposal has become especially important. However, the collection, transportation, and storage of large household electrical appliances, such as refrigerators and washing machines, are difficult, and bothers are concerned. I have. Along with this, the efficiency of waste transport is also required, and the role of containers has become very important. In particular, containers are required to have an efficient internal space to increase the effective volume and at the same time to be easily loaded and unloaded.

[0004] On the other hand, the conventional container has a drawback that it is easily exposed to wind and rain because its upper part is open. There is a structure in which the container is covered with a cover, but the opening and closing work is troublesome. Since the main loading / unloading is performed from the rear door or the cover door, the loading / unloading operation is complicated and inefficient.

[0005]

Therefore, it is possible to prevent wind and rain, to enable loading and unloading of goods not only from the rear but also from the side of the container, to reduce the burden of opening and closing the container, and to reduce the load during transportation. It is an object of the present invention to provide a container capable of preventing scatter and scattering.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, a detachable container according to claim 1 is provided with at least a roller and a hooking member and is configured to be detachably attached to a vehicle equipped with a container detaching device. A container body that includes a plate, a rear door, and a pair of side plates provided on both sides of the bottom plate so as to be openable and closable, and that can open and close the upper and side surfaces of the container body; A wing shaped like a letter, a wing support member formed along the center line in the longitudinal direction of the container body and supporting the wing, an elastic device for urging the wing by an elastic force in a direction to open the wing, and a lock. A fixing device for fixing the wing in a closed state and opening the wing by releasing the lock. Preferably removable containers characterized by. The side plate referred to here is preferably a so-called swing door that can be opened and closed by 180 degrees. The wing is preferably one that covers the entire upper part and most of the side surface of the container, such as a thin metal plate or a metal frame covered with a sheet that can prevent the penetration of wind and rain, such as water-impermeable, water-repellent, etc. Is preferred. The elastic device is preferably a gas spring or a coil spring, or another device. It is preferable that the fixing device is provided with a lock device which is fixed to the wing so as not to be opened by being pulled or pressed or the like.

[0007] Thereby, it is possible to load and unload the cargo from both sides and the rear of the container, and the wing is lightweight and is automatically pushed up when the fixing device is released due to the elasticity of an elastic device such as a gas spring. Therefore, the load of the opening and closing work is reduced, and the loading and unloading of goods becomes easy. In addition, by using the wings and side plates together to seal the sides, the wings are sealed during transportation and storage, preventing the entry of rain and wind and preventing the scattering of waste during transportation. There is also. Furthermore, if the object is taken down from the vehicle with the container detaching device and stored as it is, it can be used as a warehouse and has many other uses. Specifically, the loading and unloading of large home appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines, which were previously considered difficult to handle, has become easier. It has a tremendous effect on product transportation and recycling. In addition, the collected home electric appliances for disposal are loaded, and when they are collected, they are recycled for recycling. Of course, industrial waste generated at work sites, such as empty cans,
Needless to say, it can be used for bottles, plastics, etc.
It can be widely used according to applications and needs. Separating and loading waste in multiple boxes is also effective in sorting and collecting. As mentioned above,
Because it became easier to load and unload things while avoiding wind and rain,
It can be used for waste, household appliances, furniture and any other cargo. In short, it can be used not only for waste but also for collection, transportation, and storage of other things. For example, even when used when moving, it is very efficient because it facilitates the loading and unloading work of workers.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the removable container, the bottom plate includes a front leg and a rear leg with a roller, the height of the side plate is set lower than the height of the leg, and the wing is bent outward. The detachable container according to claim 1, wherein the wing covers the side plate from the outside when the wing is set shorter than the length of the portion and the wing is fixed by the fixing device. By making the height of the legs of the container higher than the normal height, the height of the side plate can be secured. Accordingly, even when the container is lowered from the vehicle with the container detaching device to the ground or the like, since the legs have a height, the side plate can be set at 180 degrees.
It can be opened up and down, and the side plate can be loaded and unloaded from the side without the side plate hitting the ground when loading and unloading. In addition, since the wing covers the side plate from the outside, invasion of wind and rain can be prevented.

Indicates a mounting state, (f) indicates a mounting completed state, and (g) indicates a dump state.

An example of the method of use and advantages of the container 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. For example, a trader who has been collecting household electrical appliances for disposal first has a wing lock device 22.
Is released, the wings 12, 13 on which the sheet 14 (see FIG. 8) is stretched are raised, and the side surfaces are opened. Next, the side plate locking device 15 is released, and the side plates 7 and 8 are opened. At this time,
The side plates 7, 8 can be opened 180 degrees by the height of the rear leg 19 and the front leg 20, so that the side surface of the container 1 is fully opened (see FIG. 8). Load household electrical appliances for disposal from the fully opened side. As described above, since the loading port can be widened, the work becomes very easy. In addition, since household electrical appliances for disposal can be loaded from both sides, there is no special need to push the previously loaded product all the way.

If the area around the container 1 is large,
It is sufficient to raise both left and right wings 12 and 13 to open both sides, and when working in a narrow place, it is also possible to raise one wing 12 or 13 and open only one side to load. When loading from the rear, the rear door 3 can be opened and loaded as in the related art. Further, the rear door 3 and the wings 12 and 13 may be simultaneously opened and loaded from three directions. As described above, since the cargo can be loaded from multiple directions, it is hardly affected by a place or a situation, and a range of usage forms is widened. When loading is completed, the side plates 7 and 8 are closed to lock the side plate lock device 15, the pull-down member 25 is pulled, and the wings 12 and 13 are manually pulled in to lock the wing lock device 22.

Further, since the container 1 is detachable from the automobile 100 with the container detaching device, the container 1 can be easily stored. In short, if household appliances for disposal are gradually loaded, they can be used as a warehouse as it is until the container 1 becomes full. When the container 1 becomes full, it is moved to the loading / unloading place.
Carry it to zero and carry it to the destination. When the container 1 is attached to or detached from the vehicle 100 with the container attaching / detaching device, the front legs 2
Fold or shrink 0 so that there is no problem.

When the container 1 arrives at the loading / unloading place, the container 1 is unloaded from the vehicle 100 equipped with a container attaching / detaching device in the same manner. At this time, the container 1 can be placed parallel to the ground by standing the front legs 20. In loading and unloading, as in loading, the wing lock device 22 is released, the wings 12 and 13 are raised, the side plate lock device 15 is released and the side plates 7 and 8 are opened, and the side surface of the container 1 is fully opened. Then, the electric appliances for disposal are removed from the fully opened side and recycled. As in the case of loading, home appliances for disposal can be lowered from both sides, and the rear door 3 can be opened and lowered from the rear, so that the work becomes very easy.

If the waste does not need to be handled with special care, the rear door is opened while the waste is placed on the automobile 100 with the container detaching device, and the dumped state shown in FIG. This may be inclined to drop and discharge the waste.

As described above, the side plates 7, 8 and the wing 1
The combination of 2 and 13 makes it possible to load and unload goods from the side of the container 1. Sheet 14
With the wings 12 and 13 having only the wings 12 (see FIG. 8), the strength of the side surfaces is weak, and there is a concern that the load may fall or scatter during transportation. However, the combination with the side plates 7 and 8 may cause the load to fall or scatter during transportation. Nothing to do. In such a case, there is no problem if a thin metal plate is attached to the wings 12 and 13. Further, since the wings 12 and 13 are lightweight and use the elasticity of the gas spring 21 and the like for opening and closing, the opening and closing work is easy. Furthermore, even if the container 1 is dropped from the vehicle 100 with the container detaching device, the rear legs 19 and the front legs 2
Since there is a height of 0, the side plates 7 and 8 can be opened by 180 degrees, so that the side plates 7 and 8 do not become a hindrance when loading and unloading articles.

Thus, it is possible to prevent wind and rain,
The loading and unloading of large home appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines, which were previously considered difficult to handle, has become easier.
While the handling of household electrical appliances for disposal is attracting attention, the recycling of these large household electrical appliances is also extremely effective. In addition, the collected home electric appliances for disposal are loaded, and when they are collected, they are recycled for recycling. Needless to say, it can be used widely for industrial waste generated in a work place or the like, for example, empty cans, bottles, plastics, and the like according to applications and needs. Furthermore, it can also be used for luggage other than waste. For example, even when used when moving, it is very efficient because it facilitates the loading and unloading work of workers.
