1 has a shape as shown in FIG.
The shape of the fitting main body 93 other than the shape structure of the hinge cylinder 89 and the guide groove 91 is appropriately selected in consideration of strength and workability. The A surface of the fitting member 75 corresponds to the AA surface connected to the mounting portion 87 of the fitting member 75 of FIG. 3, and the B surface of FIG. 5A corresponds to the BB surface of FIG. The plane C in FIG. 5A corresponds to the plane CC in FIG.

Hinge pin 8 of the hinge pin base member 73
1 and the guide groove 83 have a shape as shown in FIG. The shape of the base body 95 other than the shape structure of the hinge pin 81 and the guide groove 83 is appropriately selected in consideration of strength and workability. This hinge pin base member 73
A surface of the mounting portion 79 of the hinge pin base member 73 of FIG.
5 corresponds to the aa surface, the b surface in FIG. 5B corresponds to the bb surface in FIG. 3, and the c surface in FIG. 5B corresponds to the cc surface in FIG.

Therefore, the guide rail 41 is arranged so that
When the fitting member 75 is connected to the hinge pin base member 73 to be closed (returned), the c-plane of FIG. 5B faces upward, and the B-plane of FIG. 5A. 5B, the b-side of FIG. 5B first approaches the C-side of FIG. 5A. In this case, the plane B of FIG. 5A and the plane c of FIG. 5B are maintained in a parallel state with a slight gap.

Then, the hinge tube 89 is moved to the position b in FIG. 5 (B).
It enters into the guide groove 83 from the surface. When the hinge cylinder 89 enters the guide groove 83, the hinge pin 81 first reaches the C surface of FIG. 5A and enters the guide groove 91. Further, when the approach continues, the opening 97 of the hinge cylinder 89 reaches the hinge pin 81, and when the hinge pin 81 reaches the innermost part 99 of the hinge cylinder 89, the connection between the fitting member 75 and the hinge pin base member 73 is completed. To do. A state in which this connection is completed is shown in FIG.

As a result, the hinge pin 81 is located at the center, and there is a hinge cylinder 89 that fits it outside, and the hinge cylinder 89 is further fitted into the innermost part 101 of the guide groove 91. Therefore, the hinge pin 81, the hinge cylinder 89, and the innermost part 101 are combined to form a rotation shaft having the center of the hinge pin 81 as the center of rotation.

In the state of FIG. 6A, the guide rail 41 is closed (returned) to the lifting tube main body 5. From this state, when the left side of the guide rail 41 is pulled in the direction away from the lifting tube main body 5, the guide rail 41 opens rightward with the hinge pin 81 shown in FIG. 6 (A) as the center of rotation. Detachable hinges 65, 67
Is released from the connected state. This will be described with reference to the detachable hinge 67 of FIG. 6A as an example.
This is performed by opening the fitting member 107, which has almost the same structure as the fitting member 75 connected to the hinge pin base member 105, in the arrow YRO direction. This includes the fitting member 75 and the hinge pin base member 7 described above.
Since the operation is the reverse of the state in which 3 and 3 are connected, detailed description will be omitted.

3 and 111 have a shape that follows the movement path of opening and closing of the guide rail 41, so that the fitting member 75 can be smoothly inserted.
In addition to having a function of attaching / detaching to / from the hinge pin base member 73, the distance between the guide grooves 83, 111 becomes narrower toward the outlet, so that the left and right ends of the guide rail 41 are separated from the lifting tube main body 5 at the same time. When pulled, the distance between the guide grooves 83, 111 is narrower than the distance between the hinge cylinders 89, 115, and has a function of preventing the hinge cylinders 89, 115 from being separated at the same time.

As a result, there is an excellent effect that the guide rail 41 can be opened and closed smoothly and the guide rail 41 can be prevented from being accidentally detached from the lifting tube main body 5. Thus, the guide rail 41 that can be opened and closed on the left and right has a sufficient function for opening and closing the guide rail 41, but as shown in FIG. , Clean surface 4 of guide rail 41
5 does not have a holding force for maintaining a predetermined distance between the conveyor belt 11 and the conveying belt 11 of the lifting surface 33.

Next, the locking mechanism 12 that provides this holding force.
