Specifically, the U-shaped tip of the insertion panel 3 is fitted into a spiral space formed at the end of the side sleeve 2, and the side sleeve is inserted into the U-shaped space of the insertion panel 3. The tip of the spiral shape of 2 is fitted. Thus, all the side surfaces of the hot water storage type hot water heater 100 are covered by connecting independent members such as the side sleeves 2a and 2b and the insertion panels 3a and 3b. Since the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel 3 are fitted and fixed to each other, they can stand on their own without any manual support.

  Here, convex support devices 7 a, 7 b, 7 c, and 7 d (hereinafter may be collectively referred to as the convex support device 7) are formed at the connecting portion between the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel 3. In other words, by fitting the U-shaped end portion of the insertion panel 3 to the spiral end portion of the side sleeve 2, the convex portion formed by stacking the paper cardboards on the multiple layers is formed into a convex support device. 7. The convex support device 7 protrudes toward the outside of the insertion panel 3 and is formed at substantially the same height as the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel 3 along the self-standing direction of the hot water storage water heater 100. Is made.

  An impact buffering gap 8a is formed between the convex support device 7a and the convex support device 7b, and an impact buffering gap 8b is formed between the convex support device 7c and the convex support device 7d. (Hereinafter, the shock buffering gaps 8a and 8b may be collectively referred to as the shock buffering gap 8). The impact buffering gap 8 absorbs an impact that is transmitted from the outside to the hot water storage type hot water heater 100 during transportation, storage, and handling.

The upper lateral fastening band 9 a fastens near the upper part of the hot water storage type hot water heater 100, and the lower lateral fastening band 9 b fastens near the lower part of the hot water storage type hot water heater 100.

A packing method using the packing apparatus 1 configured as described above will be described.
First, the hot water storage type water heater 100 is mounted on the gantry 5, and the installation leg 100 a of the hot water storage type water heater 100 is fixed to the gantry 5 with a fixing tool such as a bolt and a nut (not shown). And the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel 3 which stood up cover the side surface of the hot water storage type water heater 100, and the edge part of the side sleeve 2 and the edge part of the insertion panel 3 are fitted and connected. In this state, due to the spiral shape formed by bending the end portion of the side sleeve 2 and the U-shape formed by bending the end portion of the insertion panel 3, the hot water storage water heater 100 is self-supporting while projecting outward. A convex support device 7 extending in the direction is formed. Further, as described above, an impact buffering gap 8 is formed outside the insertion panel 3 adjacent to the convex support device 7.

  Then, the top cap 4 is placed on the top surface of the hot water storage water heater 100 so as to accommodate the upper ends of the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel 3. Subsequently, the top cap 4 and the mount 5 are wound around the vertical fastening band 6 in a substantially vertical direction and fastened and fixed. At this time, the vertical fastening band 6 is wound around the convex support device 7. Further, the lateral fastening band 9a is wound in the vicinity of the top cap 4 and the lateral fastening band 9b is wound in the vicinity of the mount 5 in a substantially horizontal direction to be fastened and fixed.

  Next, the handling operation of the hot water storage hot water heater 100 packaged by the packing device 1 will be described. During transportation, storage, and handling of cargo, most of the impact transmitted from the outside to the hot water storage type hot water heater 100 is absorbed by the convex support device 7. For this reason, the impact transmitted to the hot water storage type hot water heater 100 can be reduced, and deformation and damage of the hot water storage type hot water heater 100 can be prevented.

  In the down-loading operation when unloading from a transport vehicle or the like, either the surface provided with the convex support devices 7a, 7b or the surface provided with the convex support devices 7c, 7d should be on the lower side. Defeat and slide down. That is, the convex support device 7 having a rail shape serves as a sliding surface in the sliding operation. Since the convex support device 7 serves as a sliding down surface and comes into contact with a loading platform such as a transport vehicle, friction generated between the packed hot water storage hot water heater 100 and the loading platform can be reduced. For this reason, the deformation | transformation and damage of the hot water storage type water heater 100 which arise by the friction in a sliding down operation | work can be prevented. Further, by using the convex support device 7 arranged in a rail shape as a sliding surface, the sliding operation can be easily performed.

  As described above, according to the packaging device 1 according to the first embodiment, the convex support device protrudes toward the outside of the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel 3 that are exterior members and extends in the self-standing direction of the packaged body. 7 is provided, for example, during transportation, storage, and handling, the impact transmitted from the outside to the hot water storage water heater 100 can be reduced, and deformation and damage of the hot water storage water heater 100 due to the impact can be prevented. it can.

  Moreover, the exterior member which covers the outer periphery of the hot water storage type water heater 100 by connecting the pair of side sleeves 2 and the pair of insertion panels 3 was configured. Therefore, in the state where the hot water storage type water heater 100 is not packaged, the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel 3 are plate-shaped and can be stored and transported in a compact manner. For this reason, the cost required for storage and transportation of the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel 3 can be reduced. Further, when either the side sleeve 2 or the insertion panel 3 is damaged, only the damaged one needs to be replaced.

  Further, since the convex support device 7 is formed by bending the end portions of the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel 3, no new member is required. For this reason, it can be constituted comparatively simply and does not increase the cost required for the member. Furthermore, although the convex support device 7 is also a connecting portion between the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel 3, since the connection is performed by fitting the both, the work is easy and the packing workability may be deteriorated. Absent.

  Further, since the convex support device 7 is formed by bending the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel 3, the convex support device 7 itself has an elastic force and is transmitted to the hot water storage type water heater 100 via the packing device 1. Impact can be reduced.

  Further, an impact buffering gap 8a is formed between the convex support device 7a and the convex support device 7b, and an impact buffering gap 8b is formed between the convex support device 7c and the convex support device 7d. did. Accordingly, the shock buffering gap 8 can absorb an impact that is transmitted from the outside to the hot water storage hot water heater 100 during transportation, storage, and handling of the load, and the hot water storage hot water heater 100 is deformed or damaged due to the impact. Can be prevented.

  The vertical fastening band 6 was fastened and fixed in a substantially vertical direction by winding the top cap 4 and the gantry 5 at a position overlapping the convex support device 7. For this reason, the connection part of the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel 3 can be pressed down by the vertical fastening band 6, and it can prevent that the fitting of the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel 3 is released.

  The upper lateral fastening band 9 a fastened near the upper part of the hot water storage type hot water heater 100, and the lower lateral fastening band 9 b fastened near the lower part of the hot water storage type hot water heater 100. For this reason, it can prevent that the upper end part and lower end part of the side sleeve 2 fitted with the edge part of the insertion panel 3 float. Since the side sleeve 2 and the plug-in panel 3 are connected by fitting each other's bending structure, for example, when another article collides with this connecting portion, the bending structure of the side sleeve 2 is lifted. As a result, the connection between the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel 3 may be broken. However, the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the side sleeve 2 can be appropriately pressed by fastening the lateral fastening bands 9a and 9b as described above.

  In the first embodiment, the pair of side sleeves 2 and the pair of insertion panels 3 cover the outer periphery of the hot water storage water heater 100 that is a packaged body. The number is not limited to this. For example, any number of side sleeves and insertion panels may be combined in accordance with the outer peripheral shape of the packaged body. Moreover, in this Embodiment 1, although the case where the front surface, back surface, or side surface of the hot-water storage type water heater 100 was each covered with the one side sleeve 2 or the insertion panel 3 was demonstrated as an example, One surface may be covered with a plurality of side sleeves or plug-in panels.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the second embodiment, a convex support device having another configuration will be described. FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the convex support device 17 according to the second embodiment. In FIG. 3, only the convex support devices 17a and 17b corresponding to the convex support devices 7a and 7b in the first embodiment are illustrated, but the convex support devices 17c and 17d may have the same configuration. it can.

  In FIG. 3, the end of the side sleeve 2 is bent five times at a substantially right angle, and the cross section of the bent portion forms a spiral shape. Further, the end portion of the plug-in panel 3a is bent twice at a substantially right angle in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and the cross section of the bent portion has a U shape. Convex-type support devices 17a and 17b are formed at a connecting portion between the side sleeve 2a and the insertion panel 3a. An impact buffering gap 18a is formed between the convex support device 7a and the convex support device 7b.

  With such a configuration, the convex support device 17 can be configured, and the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained. Moreover, since the frequency | count of bending the edge part of the side sleeve 2 was increased rather than above-mentioned Embodiment 1, the protrusion height of the convex-type support apparatus 17 can be made high. For this reason, the elastic force of the convex support device 17 itself increases, and the impact transmitted to the hot water storage hot water heater 100 via the packing device can be further reduced.

  In addition, when the frequency | count of bending of the edge part of the side sleeve 2 is increased, depending on the material to be used, it may be considered that the fitting of the connecting portion between the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel 3 is deteriorated. However, it is possible to suppress useless swelling of the convex support device 17 (the connecting portion between the side sleeve 2 and the plug-in panel 3) by winding and fastening the convex support device 17 on the vertical fastening band 6. Because it can, there is no hindrance to packing and handling. Further, the number of times of bending the end portion of the side sleeve 2 is not limited to the above. By changing the number of times the end of the side sleeve 2 is bent, the protruding height of the convex support device 17 (depth of the shock buffering gap 18a) can be changed in accordance with the magnitude of the impact received during the handling operation. it can.

  In the first and second embodiments, the case where the end portion of the side sleeve 2 is folded into a spiral shape and the end portion of the insertion panel 3 is folded into a U-shaped cross section has been described as an example. It is not limited to. The protrusion height required for the convex support device varies depending on the transport environment of the package, so that the protrusion height of the convex support device suitable for the transport environment can be obtained, and the connection between the side sleeve and the plug-in panel can be achieved. A folding structure that cannot be easily solved can be arbitrarily selected. Further, for example, only the side sleeve 2 can be bent, and the insertion panel 3 can be fitted into a space formed by the bending.

  In the above description, an example in which the side sleeve 2 and the insertion panel are formed of paper cardboard has been described. However, the material is not limited to paper cardboard. For example, you may comprise with a plastic corrugated cardboard, a board | plate material, a resin sheet.

It is a disassembled perspective view of the packing apparatus 1 which shows Embodiment 1 of this invention. It is the side view and sectional drawing of the packing apparatus 1 which show Embodiment 1 of this invention. It is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the convex support apparatus which shows Embodiment 2 of this invention.
