Description

  The present invention relates to a broken material transport container used for transporting a broken material such as a raw egg and a support unit for the broken material transport container.

  Traditionally, broken eggs, such as raw eggs, creative raw confectionery, and peaches, that are easily broken or damaged by external impact or pressure, are stored in plastic or paper storage containers to protect them from impact. It is handled.

  For example, in the case of a raw egg, it was formed of a transparent synthetic resin sheet such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or a paper mold in units of 4, 6, 10 It is handled in a state of being stored in a storage container. This storage container is usually composed of a lower tray and an upper lid, and is provided with a plurality of storage chambers capable of storing each raw egg.

  Here, when delivering a storage container storing a plurality of broken items such as raw eggs to a store or the like, it is performed by arranging the plurality of storage containers in a transport container and carrying the transport container. For example, a transport container in which a plurality of storage containers are stored is carried on a truck or a carriage.

  On the other hand, in recent years, direct reproduction by telephone order or order via the Internet has attracted attention, and broken products such as raw eggs are delivered directly to consumers from producers. In this case, it is common to store a storage container in which broken objects such as raw eggs are stored in a transport box formed of cardboard and deliver the transport box to consumers.

  However, if a storage container that contains broken items such as raw eggs is directly stored in the transport box, when an external force is applied to the transport box, the broken objects such as raw eggs in the storage container are damaged or cracked together with the storage container. May be a problem. In particular, when a storage container containing broken items such as raw eggs is stored in a transport box and delivered directly to consumers, it is handled in the same way as other delivery products by the delivery company, and the transport box is shocked. Is easy to add.

  That is, in the case of direct delivery to the consumer described above, there is a higher possibility that the transport box will be swung compared to the case of delivery to a store or the like. Along with this, the storage container may collide with the inner surface of the transport box, and the storage container and broken objects such as raw eggs in the storage container may be broken.

  As a method of mitigating such impact during transportation, for example, when an electrical appliance or the like is delivered, a buffer member formed of foamed polystyrene is disposed between the transportation box and the electrical appliance. Thereby, even if an external force is applied to the transport box, the external force is absorbed by the buffer member, and the external force is suppressed from acting on the electrical appliance or the like.

  In view of this, when a storage container in which broken objects such as raw eggs are stored is stored in a transport box and delivered to a consumer, it is conceivable to use a polystyrene foam cushioning member. Specifically, as the foam cushioning member made of polystyrene, the surface on the side that comes into contact with the storage container is shaped along the outer shape of the storage container (uneven shape formed by a plurality of storage chambers), and the side that comes into contact with the transport box It is conceivable that the surface is shaped along the inner surface of the transport box. That is, the storage container does not move in the transport box by bringing the buffer member into contact with the storage container and the transport box in the state where the storage container and the buffer member storing the broken material such as raw eggs are stored in the transport box. It can be constituted as follows.

  However, when transporting broken objects such as raw eggs, the cushioning effect may still be insufficient with a foamed cushioning member. Furthermore, when a foamed polystyrene cushioning member is used, the post-treatment of the cushioning member becomes cumbersome when the storage container in which broken objects such as raw eggs are stored is taken out of the transport box. That is, the foamed cushioning member is bulky and must be treated as noncombustible waste, which is not preferable in the environment.

  Moreover, since impacts from the outside may be applied to the upper and lower surfaces and four side surfaces (mainly the side surfaces) of the transport box, broken objects such as raw eggs are stored from the six surfaces (mainly the four side surfaces) of the transport box. A foamed cushioning member must be arranged so as to cover the storage container. In this case, the amount or number of polystyrene foam cushioning members increases, and the above-described problem becomes significant.

  Further, when a foamed polystyrene cushioning member is used, if a temporary external force is applied to the transport box, the cushioning member can absorb the external force, but the cushioning member is greatly deformed. When an external force is applied, or when an external force is continuously applied, the storage container and broken objects such as raw eggs in the storage container are damaged by the deformation of the buffer member.

  That is, as described above, since the foamed cushioning member is in contact with the storage container and the transport box, the temporary external force is absorbed by the buffering member and does not reach the storage container, but cannot be absorbed by the buffering member. When an external force is applied, the external force reaches the storage container through deformation of the buffer member. As described above, the storage container is formed of a synthetic resin sheet or the like and can be easily deformed. Therefore, if an external force is transmitted to the storage container, the external force acts on a broken object such as a raw egg in the storage container, and the broken object is cracked. It will also end up.

  Furthermore, as described above, the storage container in which broken objects such as raw eggs are stored and the transport box in which the foamed cushioning member is stored may be greatly swung at the stage of sorting and delivery. Then, broken objects such as raw eggs move around in the storage container.

  In this case, since the storage container is covered with the foamed cushioning member as described above, it is possible that a broken object such as a raw egg collides with the foamed cushioning member via the storage container. In this case, the raw egg may be broken only by colliding with the polystyrene foam cushioning member.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention supports a storage container for storing a broken object with a simple configuration, and can efficiently suppress / relieve external force acting on the broken object such as a raw egg. It is an object of the present invention to provide a transport container and a support unit for a broken object storage container used for the transport container.

  The fragile material transport container of the present invention includes a storage container having a plurality of storage chambers capable of storing each of the plurality of fragile materials, a connecting portion connecting the storage chambers adjacent to each other, and a support for supporting the storage container. A container and an outer container in which the storage container and the support member are stored. The support member extends in a direction substantially orthogonal to the bottom surface of the outer container, and is connected by two connecting portions and a connecting portion of the storage container. It has the contact part which contact | abuts to the side wall of a storage chamber at the front end side.

  The support unit for a fragile material transport container of the present invention supports and stores a storage container having a plurality of storage chambers capable of storing each of a plurality of fragile materials and a connecting portion that connects storage chambers adjacent to each other among these storage chambers. A support member housed in the outer container together with the container, the support member extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the bottom surface of the outer container, and a side wall of the two storage chambers connected by the connecting portion and the connecting portion of the storage container It has the contact part which contact | abuts in the front end side.

  Here, the bottom surface of the outer container is deformed by receiving an external force by supporting the storage container at a position away from at least the bottom surface (the other side surface) of the outer container by the contact between the abutting portion and the connecting portion. However, it can suppress striking a storage container. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the storage container and the broken object in the storage container from being broken.

  Further, by bringing the front end side of the contact portion into contact with the side walls of the two storage chambers, the movement of the storage container in the direction in which the storage chambers are arranged can be suppressed with a simple configuration.

  A receiving member for receiving the storage container can be further provided, and the receiving member can be formed with a hole portion through which the abutting portion passes and which can abut against at least a part of the abutting portion. Thereby, a contact part will contact | abut to the side wall of a storage chamber, and the hole part of a receiving member, and it can suppress more effectively the shaking in the exterior container of a storage container by these contact.

  By configuring the receiving member to cover at least the upper and lower surfaces of the storage container, it is possible to display information relating to the broken objects stored in the storage container in a region covering the upper and lower surfaces. Moreover, a hole part can be formed in each of the area | region which covers an up-and-down surface, and it also becomes possible to support a storage container from the upper and lower sides with a supporting member.

  By making the hole part a shape corresponding to the shape (for example, horizontal cross-sectional shape) in the longitudinal orthogonal plane in the contact part, the strength of the contact state of the hole part and the contact part can be improved. The shaking of the storage container via the receiving member due to the contact between the portion and the contact portion can be effectively suppressed.

  A plurality of storage chambers are arranged side by side in a first direction and a second direction different from (for example, substantially orthogonal to) the first direction, and the connecting portion is formed to extend in the first and second directions. Thereby, it can suppress that a storage container shakes in a 1st and 2nd direction in an exterior container. In addition, by suppressing the shaking in the first and second directions, the shaking of the storage container in the plane including the first and second directions can also be suppressed.

  In this case, the contact portion can be constituted by a first contact portion that extends in the first direction and a second contact portion that extends in the second direction. Thereby, the 1st contact part and the 2nd contact part can be made to contact to the side wall of all the storage chambers, the shake for every storage room can be controlled, and the shake of the whole storage container is also controlled efficiently. be able to.

  By providing a plurality of second contact portions and crossing the second contact portions with the first contact portions, the strength of the first contact portions and the second contact portions can be improved.

  The position of the storage container supported by the support member can be fixed in the exterior container by bringing the support member into contact with the inner surface of the exterior container and positioning the support member in the exterior container.

  In the fragile material transport container of the present invention, as described above, the shaking of the storage container in the exterior container can be efficiently suppressed, and therefore, among the fragile materials, raw eggs that are particularly fragile can be stored in the storage container.

  According to the present invention, the storage container is supported at a position away from the bottom surface of the exterior container by the front end side of the contact portion extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the bottom surface of the exterior container contacting the connection portion of the storage container. be able to. In addition, since the contact portion abuts against the side walls of the two storage chambers connected by the connecting portion, the movement of the storage container in the direction in which the storage chambers are arranged can be suppressed.

  As a result, even when an external force is applied to the outer container, the external force can be prevented from acting on the storage container, and the storage container can be prevented from colliding with the inner wall of the outer container even if the outer container is swung. Moreover, the storage container can be supported with a simple configuration.

  In particular, in the case of direct delivery from a producer to a consumer, the use of the fragile material transport container of the present invention is effective in that the above-described effects can be obtained.

  Examples of the present invention will be described below.

  Next, the structure of the storage container in the broken material transport container of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. 4 is a front view of the storage container, and FIG. 5 is an external perspective view of the storage container.

  The storage container 300 includes a first storage member 301 and a second storage member 302, and the first storage member 301 and the second storage member 302 are connected to each other at one side portion in the longitudinal direction (X direction). Has been.

  The storage chambers 30a to 30e and the storage chambers 30f to 30j formed in the first storage member 301 are arranged side by side in the X direction as shown in FIG. In addition, two storage chambers (for example, the storage chambers 30a and 30f and the storage chambers 30b and 30g) among the storage chambers 30a to 30j are arranged side by side in the Y direction. In other words, the storage chambers 30a to 30e are arranged in a matrix in the X direction and the Y direction. Each storage room 30a-30j is formed in the shape which can store one raw egg.

  In the storage container 300 of the present embodiment, a total of 10 raw eggs can be stored. In addition, the number of storage rooms and the way of arrangement can be set as appropriate. For example, a plurality of storage chambers can be provided so as to line up in a row in the X direction (or Y direction), or storage chambers can be provided so as to have the same number of rows in the X direction and the Y direction.

  Among the plurality of storage chambers 30a to 30j, storage chambers adjacent to each other in the X direction and the Y direction (for example, the storage chambers 30b and 30c and the storage chambers 30b and 30g) are rib portions 31 (regions indicated by hatching in FIG. 4). Are connected by And the storage chambers 30a-30j and the rib part 31 are integrally formed. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the rib portion 31 extends in the X direction and the Y direction.

  The second storage member 302 has storage chambers corresponding to the storage chambers 30a to 30j of the first storage member 301, and the storage chamber has a flat bottom surface.

  When a plurality of raw eggs are stored in the storage container 300 having the above-described configuration, a plurality of storage chambers formed in the first storage member 301 in a state where the first storage member 301 and the second storage member 302 are opened. Raw eggs are placed in each of 30a to 30j. Then, the first storage member 301 and the second storage member 302 are closed and fixed to each other. As a result, the plurality of raw eggs are stored in the storage container 300 in a state of being partitioned from each other.

  Next, the structure of the receiving member 400 which covers the storage container 300 mentioned above is demonstrated using FIG.6 and FIG.7. Here, FIG. 6 is an external perspective view of the receiving member, and FIG. 7 is a view showing the bottom surface of the receiving member.

  The receiving member 400 has a shape that covers the upper surface, the bottom surface, and the side surface in the longitudinal direction of the storage container 300, and receiving portions 401 are formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction. The receiving portion 401 is formed to prevent the storage container 300 stored in the receiving member 400 from coming out of the openings formed at both ends of the receiving member 400.

  That is, in a state where the storage container 300 is stored in the receiving member 400, the storage container 300 can be stored in the receiving member 400 by bending the receiving portion 401 as shown in FIG.

  In addition, on the surface of the receiving member 400, information on the raw egg such as the producer of the raw egg, the date of manufacture, and the expiration date is displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a groove 402 extending in the X direction and the Y direction is formed on the bottom surface of the receiving member 400. That is, the groove portion 402 includes one groove portion 402a that extends in the X direction and four groove portions 402b that intersect the groove portion 402a and extend in the Y direction.

  In the present embodiment, the receiving member 400 has a shape that covers the upper and lower surfaces and the two side surfaces of the storage container 300, but is not limited thereto. For example, it can be set as the shape which hold | maintains only the 1st storage member 301 among the storage containers 300. FIG.

  In the above-described configuration of the breakage container of the present embodiment, the first flange portion 22 of the support member 100 penetrates the groove portion 402a of the receiving member 400, and the first arm portion 12 of the support member 100 passes through the groove portion 402b. To penetrate.

  Here, the groove part 402 (402a, 402b) is formed in a shape corresponding to the horizontal cross-sectional shape (the cross-sectional shape in the XY plane of FIG. 3) of the first flange part 22 and the first arm part 12, In a state where the first flange portion 22 and the first arm portion 12 are penetrated, the side surfaces of the first flange portion 22 and the first arm portion 12 are brought into contact with each other.

  The first arm portion 12 and the first flange portion 22 penetrating the groove portion 402 abut on the rib portion 31 formed on the first storage member 301 of the storage container 300 at the tip. That is, the horizontal cross-sectional shapes of the first arm portion 12 and the first flange portion 22 are set so as to correspond to the shape of the rib portion 31 of the storage container 300.

  As described above, the first arm portion 12 and the first flange portion 22 extend in a direction substantially orthogonal to the bottom surface of the transport box 200, but this length is the length of each storage chamber in the first storage member 301. It is longer than the length in the Z direction. The Z direction is a direction orthogonal to the X direction and the Y direction, and is a direction substantially orthogonal to the bottom surface of the transport box 200. With the above-described configuration, the first arm portion 12 and the first flange portion 22 abut against the rib portion 31 of the storage container 300, thereby supporting the storage container 300 at a position away from the bottom surface of the transport box 200. be able to.

  Further, in a state where the support member 100 is disposed in the transport box 200, the first arm portion 12 and the first flange portion 22 are positioned such that the storage container 300 and the receiving member 400 do not contact the inner side surface of the transport box 200. Is provided. That is, the support member 100 supports the storage container 300 to which the receiving member 400 is attached at a position away from the inner surface of the transport box 200.

  As described above, by supporting the storage container 300 (including the receiving member 400) at a position away from the bottom surface and the side surface of the transport box 200, even if an external force is applied to the bottom surface and the side surface of the transport box 200, This external force can be prevented from acting on the storage container 300.

  Here, the position of the storage container 300 with respect to the bottom surface or side surface of the transport box 200 can be set as appropriate. Note that if the distance between the bottom and side surfaces of the transport box 200 and the storage container 300 is too long, the transport box 200 is enlarged, and if the distance is too short, the transport box 200 deformed by external force is deformed. A part hits the storage container 300. For this reason, it is preferable to set the distance between the bottom surface and the side surface of the transport box 200 and the storage container 300 in consideration of the external force that can be applied to the transport box 200, the degree of deformation of the transport box 200, and the like.

  On the other hand, the 1st arm part 12 which penetrated the groove part 402b contact | abuts the side wall of the storage chambers (for example, storage chamber 30a, 30b) adjacent to each other in the X direction. Thereby, the storage container 300 is prevented from moving in the X direction in the transport box 200.

  Further, the first flange portion 22 penetrating the groove portion 402a comes into contact with the side walls of storage chambers (for example, storage chambers 30a and 30f) adjacent to each other in the Y direction. Thereby, the storage container 300 is prevented from moving in the Y direction in the transport box 200.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, in each of the storage chambers in the storage container 300 (first storage chamber 301), an area that can contact the first arm portion 12 and the first flange portion 22 ( The region on the side of the connecting portion 31 is a surface substantially parallel to the surface (XZ plane or YZ plane) of the first arm 12 or the first flange 22. Thereby, the contact state with the 1st arm part 12 or the 1st flange part 22, and each storage chamber can be maintained, and the shake of the X direction of a storage container 300 or a Y direction can be suppressed efficiently.

  As described above, by preventing the storage container 300 from swinging in the X and Y directions by the first arm portion 12 and the first flange portion 22, in other words, in the XY plane, in other words, the first arm portion 12 and the first arm portion 12. The shaking of the storage container 300 in the longitudinal orthogonal plane of the flange portion 22 can be prevented. Thereby, even if the transport box 200 in which the storage container 300 is stored is swung around at the stage of sorting or delivery, the storage container 300 can be prevented from colliding with the inner surface of the transport box 200.

  Moreover, the excellent effects described above can be obtained with a simple configuration in which the first arm 12 and the first flange 22 are brought into contact with the side wall of the storage chamber in the storage container 300.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the receiving member 400 that covers the storage container 300 is formed with the groove portions 402 (402a, 402b) through which the first arm portion 12 and the first flange portion 22 penetrate. For this reason, when the 1st arm part 12 and the 1st flange part 22, and the groove part 402 contact | abut, the shaking in the XY plane of the storage container 300 can be prevented via the receiving member 400. FIG. That is, by using the receiving member 400, the shaking of the storage container 300 in the transport box 200 can be more effectively prevented as compared to the case where the receiving member 400 is not used.

  Here, in this embodiment, the groove portion 402 of the receiving member 400 has a shape corresponding to the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the first arm portion 12 and the first flange portion 22, but is not limited thereto. For example, a hole as shown by a dotted line in FIG. In this case, the hole portion can contact both ends of the first arm portion 12 in the Y direction, so that the swing of the receiving member 400 in the Y direction can be suppressed and the X direction of the first flange portion 22 can be suppressed. The contact member 400 can be prevented from shaking in the X direction by coming into contact with both end portions.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the first arm portion 12 and the first flange portion 22 are configured to intersect, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, any configuration may be used as long as it abuts on the rib portion 31 of the storage container 300 and abuts on the side walls of the storage chambers adjacent to each other in the storage container 300.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the first protrusion 50 for suppressing the Y-direction swing of the storage container 300 in the transport box 200 and the second protrusion for suppressing the X-direction swing of the storage container 300. The part 51 can also be provided separately.

  Here, FIG. 10 is a view showing a modification of the present embodiment, and is a top view showing an outline when the support member having the first protrusion and the second protrusion described above is housed in the transport box 200. It is.

  The first protrusion 50 has a function similar to that of the first flange 22 described above, and penetrates the receiving member and contacts the side wall of the storage chamber (storage chamber adjacent in the Y direction) in the storage container 300. . Further, the second protrusion 51 has the same function as the first arm 12 described above, and penetrates the receiving member to the side wall of the storage chamber (storage chamber adjacent in the X direction) in the storage container 300. Abut.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the first arm portion 12 and the first flange portion 22 are substantially orthogonal in the XY plane, but this is not restrictive. For example, the first arm portion 12 and the first flange portion 22 can be crossed with a predetermined angle. In this case, the four regions partitioned by the first arm portion 12 and the first flange portion 22 have regions of different sizes, but the storage chambers (broken objects) having different sizes in these regions. ) May be arranged.

  In this embodiment, the support member 100 (the first support member 10 and the second support member 20) can be formed of any material. For example, it can be formed of a synthetic resin such as plastic. In this case, the first support member 10 and the second support member 20 can be integrally formed.

  If the support member 100 is formed of corrugated paper, the support member 100 can be easily processed after the storage container 300 is taken out of the transport box 200.

  That is, when the support member 100 is formed of corrugated paper, it can be processed together with the transport box 200 formed of corrugated paper, and by disassembling, it can be compacted without being bulky. For this reason, it is preferable in terms of post-treatment and environment as compared with a conventional polystyrene foam cushioning member.

  It is also possible to form a support member having at least the first arm portion 12 and the first flange portion 22 from a piece of corrugated paper. For example, the first arm portion 12 and the first flange portion 22 can be configured by punching out a piece of corrugated paper and bending a part thereof. In this case, it can be disassembled into a sheet of corrugated paper, and post-processing becomes easy.
