Description

  The present invention relates to an article protection buffer device, an article buffer mounting device, and an article packaging device used for transporting an article such as an image forming apparatus.

Carrying items that require handling during transportation, such as products such as image forming devices such as copiers, printers, and facsimile machines, without breaking them from the production plant to the user's location As a manufacturer, it ’s one of the big concerns, trucks, railway wagons,
It is very common for packaging designs to be made on the assumption that they will be transported using many transportation means such as ships. In particular, on the premise that transshipment, temporary storage, etc. during transportation are performed, it is important to design so as not to damage articles during transportation.

  In the current physical distribution environment, when shipping manufactured goods and commodities from a factory, there are roughly two types of transportation routes. The first is a case where it is once stored in a warehouse and then delivered to the user, and the second is a case where it is delivered directly from the manufacturer to the user. In any case, it is an important issue to protect the goods from various external impacts and the transportation environment that are received in the process of being delivered to the user and install them, and to deliver them to the user without degrading the quality of the goods. is there. In other words, in the physical distribution process of manufactured products, external hazards (inertia due to movement) that occur during vibrations and shocks that occur during transportation of trucks and other transportation facilities, transshipment performed at each warehouse base, work point, cargo handling work during storage, etc. For example, it is desired to provide a packaging form that maintains the quality of manufactured products and has an effective function for transportability and cargo handling workability. Therefore, the article is placed in the article packaging apparatus shown in FIG. This article wrapping apparatus includes a base 2 serving as a mounting body for the article 1, four struts 5 as an enclosure 4 surrounding the four sides of the article 1 mounted on the base 2 leaving a gap 3; It consists of four side wall bodies 6. The structure containing the canopy body 7 which covers the top part of the surrounding body 4 may be sufficient. An appropriate cushioning material is inserted in the gap 3 between the surrounding body 4 and the outer peripheral surface of the article 1 to prevent the article from being damaged.

  In addition, as a general packaging method for articles, one using a cardboard outer box and a buffer such as EPS (expanded polystyrene) can be cited. However, it is not preferable to discharge waste every time the goods are transported due to the growing interest in environmental problems in recent years. Changing the type of exterior box / buffer body for each type of article or each time the detailed shape of the article changes is wasteful in terms of cost and development effort, and development of a packaging method that can be packed regardless of the size and shape of the article Is desired.

  As such a packaging method independent of the article size and shape, there is the one shown in FIG. This is for fixing an article using a belt equivalent to a seat belt for automobiles. That is, the belts 110 and 120 are stretched over the article 1 mounted on the base 102 which is the mounting body of the article 1, and the belts 110 and 120 are provided with a length adjusting mechanism, so that a certain range of article sizes and shapes can be obtained. The article 1 is fixed. In the drawing, 111 and 121 are buckles which are adjustment mechanisms, 103 and 104 are long holes formed in the base 102, and the belts 110 and 120 are attached to the back side of the base 102 through the long holes 103 and 104. It has been.

  However, if the fixing positions 103 and 104 of the belts 110 and 120 to the base are away from the bottom edge of the article 1, the article may become unstable. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 13, it is conceivable that the fixing position of the belt is directly below the article 1 (indicated by the long holes 203 and 204 in FIG. 13).

  For this reason, in general, packing is performed by configuring a buffer body that matches the shape of the article to be transported, and each article requires cost and time for equipment investment and design work for the packaging material. Currently. In addition, since such design and management are performed, the types of parts are increased, which complicates parts management.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. In the following, a number of embodiments will be described, but description of the configuration and operation common to the preceding embodiments may be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the article protection shock absorber according to this example surrounds the base 2 serving as a mounting body for the article 1 and the gap 3 between the four sides of the article 1 mounted on the base 2. It consists of four columns 5 as the enclosure 4 and four side walls 6. The structure containing the canopy body 7 which covers the top part of the surrounding body 4 may be sufficient. And the buffer body 10 which concerns on this example is arrange | positioned in the clearance gap 3 between the surrounding body 4 and the outer peripheral surface of the articles | goods 1. FIG.

  The buffer body 10 is arranged in the gap 3 between the article 1 and the side wall body 6 by arranging two buffer body members 11 formed in a curved manner. The buffer member 11 may be arranged in a curved state as compared with the case of a flat plate. When the buffer member is bent and disposed in the gap 3, a predetermined stopper is disposed on the base 2 or the side wall body 6.

  The buffer member 11 according to this example is formed of a homogeneous material in a single layer, and a portion that contacts the article is formed of a material having a hardness lower than the hardness of the article 1. The buffer member 11 is formed of a material that is previously curved, such as a resin. When the buffer member 11 is deformed and curved, the buffer member 11 is made of a flat plate material made of a resin having elasticity (or flexibility and resilience), for example, corrugated plastic called a corrugated plastic, and the like. From the standpoint of preventing scratches, it is preferable to use a material having a lower hardness or a softer material than the outer peripheral surface of the article 1. The material of the buffer is preferably a material that does not affect the material constituting the outer peripheral surface of the article 1 such as migration. This is because even if the buffer member 11 is left in contact with the article 1 for a long period of time, deterioration due to transfer or the like can be avoided.

  Further, in this embodiment, the buffer body 10 that can be bent is used on the outer peripheral portion of the article 1, so that it can adapt to the difference in the size of the appearance shape of the article 1, and the buffer function by the bending is fixed to the side shock absorption and fixation. It can have both functions. In other words, after placing the canopy on the state shown in the figure, and then mounting it on a truck or the like in the form of a package covered with a simple plastic bag, the article 1 tries to move in the enclosure 4 during transportation. Or even if it moves, the impact to a side surface is added by the buffer 8, and the damage by it can be prevented.

  In addition, after the article 1 is carried into the user's required place, etc. and unpacked, the buffer body 10 returns to a simple flat plate material, so it can be easily carried out by reducing the volume by bundling with string or tape material. It is possible to keep almost no waste garbage when unpacking. Such packaging is environmentally friendly and can be used repeatedly. In particular, in this embodiment, since the member can be simplified as compared with the conventional integrated buffer member, the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Moreover, in this example, since the buffer member is composed of a plurality of sheets, they can be overlapped at the time of collection, and the size can be reduced, so that the collection and transportation cost can be reduced.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the height of the shock absorber 10 is the same as or substantially the same as the height of the surrounding body 4 so that the entire side surface of the article 1 can be kept in non-contact with the surrounding body 4. However, depending on the article to be packed, the height may be lower than that of the enclosure 4. The buffer body 10 may be configured to be attached to an arbitrary position in the height direction of the surrounding body 4. Moreover, although the support | pillar 5 has a cross-sectional shape of a curved surface on both the inner and outer peripheral surfaces, it may of course have an angular cross-sectional shape. Moreover, although the side wall body 6 uses the type divided into the upper and lower parts (shown as 6a and 6b in the figure), of course, the type that is not divided or the one that is divided into three or more is also used. Can do. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the canopy body 7 does not have to have a lid shape as illustrated. Furthermore, the base 2 is in the form of a pallet that can use a so-called forklift, but is not limited to this.

  In addition, since the buffer member 11 is flat, it can be formed by processing a general material supplied by a material manufacturer into a required shape. It is not necessary and can be obtained at low cost. In long-term use, it may be necessary to provide a functional check such as a buffer function and a degree of damage according to the number of times of use. However, as in the illustrated embodiment, the buffer body 10 should be fixed to the minimum necessary. Therefore, even long-term use can be avoided. In the illustrated embodiment, the shock absorber 10 is completely fixed, so that the shock absorber can be easily replaced and repaired. Currently, it is unavoidable that shocks and vibrations occur on trucks during transportation of goods 1 and the buffer body is inevitably damaged by this, and regular maintenance of the buffer body is long-termed for this reason. However, in the apparatus of the present embodiment, maintenance such as repair and replacement, and the time and workability for that purpose can be facilitated and efficient even if damage occurs.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the buffer member 21 constituting the buffer body 20 is formed by bonding two overlapping curved members 22 and 23 together. The bending members 22 and 23 of this example are made of the same material as the buffer member 11 according to the first embodiment described above.
According to this example, the elasticity of the buffer member is increased and the impact resistance is improved. Further, the material characteristics of the plurality of bending members can be equal. For example, it is possible to superimpose materials having the same elasticity (if the plastic stage has the same basis weight). If it does in this way, the same material will be used and an inexpensive buffer body can be provided.

  Furthermore, the material characteristics of the plurality of bending members can be different. For example, the bending member can have a structure in which materials having different elasticity (if the plastic stage has a different basis weight) are superimposed. By superposing materials having different elasticity, it is possible to provide a shock absorber having elasticity suitable for an article to be packed.

  Further, when changing the material properties of the bending member, the bending material 22 facing the article can be made of a material softer than the exterior material of the article, and the bending member 23 not facing the article 1 can be made of a relatively hard material. According to the present embodiment, the material of the bending member 23 that does not face the article is hardened to improve the impact resistance, and at the same time, the bending member 22 that faces the article is softened, thereby preventing the article from being damaged. Can do.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the buffer member 31 constituting the buffer body 30 joins the end edges of the two curved members 22 and 23 having different curvatures, and both curves. A gap 34 is provided between the members 22 and 23. In addition, the bending members 32 and 33 of this example are comprised with the raw material same as the buffer member 11 which concerns on the 1st Example mentioned above. According to this example, the elasticity of the buffer member is increased and the impact resistance is improved. In addition, the self-supporting property of the buffer member alone increases, and the workability during the packing operation is improved.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the buffer body 40 is constituted by three buffer body members 41, 41, and 42. The two buffer members 41 disposed on both sides are configured by bonding two curved members 45 and 46, and the buffer member 42 disposed in the center is configured by a single curved member. According to the present embodiment, the shock absorbing member 41 disposed at the end of the article can be configured to receive a large impact, and the behavior of the article at the time of impact absorption is stabilized. Further, the buffer member 42 can act as a positioning spacer for the buffer member 41.

  FIG. 6 shows a fifth embodiment of the article protection shock absorber according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the article protection shock absorber article is a surrounding body 4 that surrounds the base 2 as a mounting body for the article 1 and the four side surfaces of the article 1 mounted on the base 2 leaving a gap 3 therebetween. It consists of four struts 5 and four side wall bodies 6. The structure containing the canopy body 7 which covers the top part of the surrounding body 4 may be sufficient. And the buffer body 50 which concerns on this example is arrange | positioned in the clearance gap 3 between the surrounding body 4 and the outer peripheral surface of the articles | goods 1. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the shock absorber 50 according to this example is a member in which a plurality of rib members 52 are arranged in the same direction between two plate members 51 and 51 to form a hollow portion 53. It is formed by. The buffer 50 is a flat plate made of a resin having elasticity (or flexibility and resilience) that can be bent, such as corrugated plastic called corrugated plastic. From the viewpoint of preventing scratches, it is preferable to use a material having a lower hardness or a softer material than the outer peripheral surface of the article 1 to be buffered. The material of the buffer body 8 is preferably a material that does not affect the material constituting the outer peripheral surface of the article 1 such as migration. This is because even if the buffer body 50 is left in contact with the article 1 for a long period of time, deterioration due to transfer or the like can be avoided.

  FIG. 8 shows a sixth embodiment of the article protection shock absorber according to the present invention. In this example, the shock absorber 60 is disposed on the article side and is formed of a shock absorber member 61 formed by bending the stepped plastic as a whole. The shock absorber 60 is disposed on the outer side of the side wall body 6 and has two inner edges formed by bending. It consists of deformed buffer members 62 and 63. In this example, the deformed buffer member 62 is arranged so that its curved portion is attached, and an end portion thereof coincides with the outer edge portion of the buffer member 61. Further, the forming direction of the rib material 64 of the buffer member 61 is a horizontal direction in the figure, and the forming direction of the rib material 66 of the deformed buffer members 62 and 63 is the same vertical direction.

  According to the present embodiment, the flat plate-shaped step plate is bent to form the buffer member 61 and fit between the inner corners of the side wall body 6, and the deformed buffer members 62 and 63 are disposed in the internal space accompanying the curve. Therefore, even if the weight of the article 1 and the article strength are different, the shock applied to the article can be efficiently reduced by the combination of the cushion member 61 and the deformed cushion members 62 and 63.

  FIG. 9 shows a seventh embodiment of the article protection shock absorber according to the present invention. In this example, as the buffer body 70, two curved members 71 and 72 having the same shape are joined. In this example, the rib members 73 and 74 of the step plastic constituting the bending member 71 and the bending member 72 are configured in the same direction, that is, the rib members 73 and 74 are in the horizontal direction in the drawing. In this example, two bending members are used and the same material is used. However, two or more bending members may be used, and the materials and characteristics thereof may be different.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10, two curved members 81 and 82 having the same shape are joined as the buffer body 80, and the rib members 83 and 84 of both the curved members 81 and 82 are orthogonal, that is, the rib member 83 is illustrated. In the horizontal direction, the rib member 84 may be configured to extend in the vertical direction in the drawing.

  In the present embodiment, by appropriately overlapping the curved members that are the buffer members, it is possible to provide a buffer characteristic that matches the strength of the article.

  Next, an embodiment of the article fixing device according to the present invention will be described. In each of the following examples, as shown in FIG. 11, a base 202 such as a pallet is fixed to the article 1 using a belt equivalent to an automobile seat belt. That is, the belts 210 and 220 are stretched over the article 1 mounted on the base 202 serving as a mounting body for the article 1, and the belts 210 and 220 are provided with a length adjusting mechanism so that a certain range of article sizes and shapes can be obtained. The article 1 is fixed.

  In the figure, reference numerals 211 and 221 denote buckles that are adjustment mechanisms, and 203 and 204 denote long holes formed in the base 202, through which the belts 210 and 220 pass and are fixed on the back surface of the base 202. In this example, the long holes 203 and 204 are provided on the base 202 and within the installation range of the article 1. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, the belts 210 and 220 have the belt end portion 211 disposed at the portion (reference numeral 7 in FIG. 12) through which the caster 8 passes when the article 1 is unloaded. In this embodiment, the string-like members 231, 232, 233, and 234 are attached to the buckle 212 provided at the belt end 211, and the string-like members 231, 232, 233, and 234 are pulled, thereby 212 is retracted inside the passage area 9 of the caster 8.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, a finger hooking member 260 for an operator to hang a finger on the tip of the string-like members 231, 232, 233, 234 and pull the string-like members 231, 232, 233, 234. Is provided. Further, the base 202 has a guide member 240 for changing the direction of the string-like members 231 and 232 attached to the back buckle 212 in FIG. 11, and a string-like member 233 attached to the front buckle 212 in FIG. , 234, and a guide member 250 for guiding the string-like members 231 and 232 are disposed.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 13, the finger hooking member 260 has an annular shape, and four string-like members 311 (231, 232, 233, 234) pass through the hole portion and bend back. Fixed. In addition, the shape of this finger hook member and the structure of the caulking material are not limited to this example, and may have any shape and form. In the above example, the string-like members 231, 232, 233, and 234 have been described as being attached to the buckle 212, but the buckle 212 may be moved together with the attachment belt end 211 to the belt end 211.

  In such an apparatus, when the finger hook member 260 at the tip of the string-like member is pulled, the string-like members 231, 232, 233, 234 connect the belt end 211 and the buckle 212 to the inside of the article 1 via the guide members 240, 250. Pulling in the direction, the belt end 211 and the buckle 212 are moved to the lower part of the article 1.
