請求項1に記載の本発明の構成によれば、各架台から側パネルを取り外し、連結部材の両端を架台からそれぞれ取り外すことにより、長尺棒状の連結部材と、移動用車輪を備えた一対の架台と、平らに積み重ねることができる2枚の側パネルに分割することができるので、搬送台車そのものを輸送する場合や倉庫などに格納する場合に上記のように搬送台車を分割することにより、平面形状がH形の大きな台車部がそのままで残る従来のものと比較して、取り扱う部品単位のサイズが小さくなると共にその部品単位の形状もシンプルなものとなり、限られた空間内に多数台分を容易に積載又は収納することができ、輸送コストや保管コストの削減に役立つ。
According to the configuration of the present invention described in claim 1, by removing the side panel from each pedestal and removing both ends of the linking member from the pedestal respectively, a pair of long rod-shaped coupling members and a pair of moving wheels are provided. Since it can be divided into a base and two side panels that can be stacked flat, when transporting the carriage itself or storing it in a warehouse, etc. Compared to the conventional one where the large trolley part remains as it is, the size of the parts to be handled becomes smaller and the shape of the parts becomes simpler. It can be easily loaded or stowed, which helps reduce transportation and storage costs.
尚、側パネルの取付け用支柱が抜き差し自在に差し込まれる筒状体を架台側に固着しておくか又は架台に対して着脱自在に取り付けておくこともできるが、請求項2に記載の構成によれば、架台に対する着脱部品の点数が減り、分解組立て時の作業が能率良く行なえる。又、連結部材を取り外した後の架台には筒状体が突起状態で残らないので、架台の積み重ねも容易になると共に積み重ね時の占有スペースも小さくできる。
In addition, although the cylindrical body by which the support | pillar for attachment of a side panel is detachably inserted can be fixed to the mount frame side, or it can also be attached detachably with respect to a mount frame, The structure of Claim 2 According to this, the number of detachable parts with respect to the gantry is reduced, and the work at the time of disassembly and assembly can be performed efficiently. Further, since the cylindrical body does not remain in the protruding state after the connecting member is removed, it is easy to stack the mounts and the space occupied when stacking can be reduced.
又、請求項3に記載の構成によれば、架台に対する連結部材の取り付け位置が確定し、ボルト止め作業が容易になるだけでなく、架台と連結部材との間に水平方向の外力が作用したときも、その外力を架台と連結部材とを結合するボルトやボルト孔に作用させないで済み、耐久性の向上やコストダウンを図り易くなる。
Moreover, according to the structure of Claim 3, the attachment position of the connection member with respect to a mount frame is decided, and not only the bolting work becomes easy, but the horizontal external force acted between the mount frame and the connection member. Sometimes, it is not necessary to apply the external force to the bolts and bolt holes that connect the gantry and the connecting member, and it becomes easy to improve durability and reduce costs.
連結部材の両端に側パネルの取付け用支柱が抜き差し自在に差し込まれる筒状体を固着一体化する場合、特に請求項4に記載の構成によれば、架台に対する当該筒状体の取り付け位置が確定し、その筒状体のボルト止め作業が容易になるだけでなく、架台と筒状体との間に水平方向の外力が作用したときも、その外力を架台と筒状体とを結合するボルトやボルト孔に作用させないで済み、耐久性の向上やコストダウンを図り易くなる。尚、この請求項4に記載の構成を採用する場合、前記筒状体を連結部材の一部と見做して、当該筒状体のボルト止めのみで連結部材を架台に取り付けることもできるし、連結部材そのものも架台にボルト止めすることができる。
In the case where the cylindrical body into which the side panel mounting columns are removably inserted at both ends of the connecting member is fixed and integrated, particularly according to the configuration of claim 4, the mounting position of the cylindrical body with respect to the gantry is determined. In addition to facilitating the bolting operation of the cylindrical body, when a horizontal external force acts between the gantry and the cylindrical body, the bolt that couples the external force to the gantry and the cylindrical body It is not necessary to act on the bolt holes, and it is easy to improve durability and reduce costs. In addition, when adopting the configuration according to claim 4, the cylindrical member can be regarded as a part of the connecting member, and the connecting member can be attached to the mount only by bolting the cylindrical member. The connecting member itself can also be bolted to the mount.
架台は、その全体が金属製のものであっても良いが、請求項5に記載の構成によれば、全体を金属製とする場合と比較して、合成樹脂製外装体の存在により、架台全体の軽量化が可能、架台表面の塗装が不要、架台表面の発錆がない、などの点で優れているだけでなく、移動用車輪や連結部材は金属製本体に取り付けられるので、合成樹脂製外装体の肉厚を薄くして一層の軽量化とコストダウンを図っても、台車全体としては必要な強度を確保することができる。この場合、請求項6や7に記載の構成によれば、連結部材の取付け座や筒状体の下端水平板部を直接金属製本体の表面に当接させて直にボルト止めすることができるので、ボルト止めされる両者間に合成樹脂製外装体が介在される構成と比較して、連結部材や筒状体の取付け強度を高めることができる。しかも、金属製本体の下側から上向きにボルトを挿通して連結部材や筒状体側のネジ孔に螺締結するだけで良いので、ナットを配置併用しなければならない場合と比較して、取付け作業も容易且つ能率的に行なえる。
The whole frame may be made of metal, but according to the configuration of claim 5, the frame is made by the presence of the synthetic resin exterior body as compared with the case where the whole is made of metal. Not only is the overall weight reduction possible, there is no need to paint the surface of the gantry, and there is no rusting on the surface of the gantry, but the moving wheels and connecting members are attached to the metal body, so synthetic resin Even if the thickness of the outer casing is reduced to further reduce the weight and cost, it is possible to ensure the necessary strength for the entire carriage. In this case, according to the structure of Claim 6 or 7, the attachment seat of a connection member and the lower end horizontal plate part of a cylindrical body can be directly abutted on the surface of a metal main body, and can be bolted directly. Therefore, the attachment strength of the connecting member and the cylindrical body can be increased as compared with the configuration in which the synthetic resin exterior body is interposed between the both bolted parts. Moreover, it is only necessary to insert a bolt upward from the lower side of the metal main body and screw it into the screw hole on the connecting member or the cylindrical body side, so that the installation work is compared to the case where a nut must be used together. Is easy and efficient.
この種の搬送台車は、荷台を取り外すか又は一方の側パネルに沿わせるように起立保持させた状態で平面形状H形の台車部を水平方向にネスティングすることができるように構成することができるものである。この場合、架台の上側面と連結部材の下側面との間に段差を設けて、ネスティング時に一方の搬送台車の架台上側面と他方の搬送台車の連結部材下側面とが互いに摺接しないように構成する必要がある。この構成を本発明の搬送台車に適用する場合、請求項8に記載の構成によれば、金属製本体と連結部材の取付け座との間に合成樹脂製外装体を挟み込まなくとも、金属製本体(これにボルト止めされた連結部材)に対する合成樹脂製外装体の浮き上がりを連結部材の下側面で阻止させることができる。従って、金属製本体に対する合成樹脂製外装体の取付けを簡略化してコストダウンを図っても、この合成樹脂製外装体が建物の壁面などに衝突したときに、当該合成樹脂製外装体が浮き上がるように移動する恐れが解消する。
This type of transport cart can be configured such that the cart shape of the planar shape H can be nested in the horizontal direction in a state where the loading platform is removed or held upright along one side panel. Is. In this case, a step is provided between the upper side surface of the gantry and the lower side surface of the connecting member so that the upper side surface of the gantry of one transport cart and the lower side surface of the connecting member of the other transport cart are not in sliding contact with each other during nesting.

When this configuration is applied to the transport carriage of the present invention, according to the configuration of claim 8, the metal main body can be obtained without sandwiching the synthetic resin exterior body between the metal main body and the mounting seat of the connecting member. It is possible to prevent the synthetic resin exterior body from being lifted with respect to (the connecting member bolted thereto) on the lower surface of the connecting member. Therefore, even if the mounting of the synthetic resin outer casing to the metal main body is simplified and the cost is reduced, the synthetic resin outer casing is lifted when the synthetic resin outer casing collides with the wall surface of the building. The fear of moving to is resolved.
上記のように本発明の搬送台車を従来のこの種の搬送台車と同様にネスティング可能に構成する場合で、架台が金属製本体と合成樹脂製外装の二層構造に構成される場合、又は架台の全体を合成樹脂製とする場合には、請求項9及び請求項15に記載の構成を採用することにより、ネスティング時に一方の搬送台車の筒状体と他方の搬送台車の連結部材とが直接衝突して、異音を発したり、当該筒状体が損傷を受けるようなことを、これら筒状体の側面をカバーしている合成樹脂製の垂直壁部の存在により防止することができる。しかもこの緩衝部材となる合成樹脂製の垂直壁部を別部材から構成して、架台の上側面や筒状体の側面に取り付けなければならない場合と比較して、組立てコストの削減につなげることができる。又、請求項11及び請求項16に記載の構成を採用することにより、ネスティング方向を規制する突起部を架台と一体成形することができ、別部品を架台表面に取り付ける構成と比較して、組立てコストの削減につなげることができる。

The presence of a synthetic resin vertical wall covering the side surfaces of the cylindrical bodies can be prevented from colliding and generating abnormal noise or damage to the cylindrical bodies. In addition, it is possible to reduce the assembly cost as compared with the case where the synthetic resin vertical wall portion serving as the buffer member is formed from a separate member and must be attached to the upper surface of the gantry or the side surface of the cylindrical body. it can. In addition, by adopting the configuration according to claim 11 and claim 16, the protrusion for regulating the nesting direction can be integrally formed with the gantry, and the assembly is compared with the configuration in which another part is attached to the gantry surface. This can lead to cost reduction.
又、上記請求項9に記載の構成を採用する場合、請求項10に記載の構成によれば、荷台に積載される荷や当該荷の積み下ろし時に干渉しないように、筒状体に対する側パネル取付け用支柱の固定のためのボルトナットを左右横方向向きとしても、当該ボルトナットの端部(ボルト頭部又はナット若しくはナットから突出するボルト軸端)が前記合成樹脂製の垂直壁部から突出して、ネスティング時に相手側の搬送台車に衝突してしまう、というような不都合も回避できる。
Further, when the configuration described in claim 9 is adopted, according to the configuration described in claim 10, the side panel is attached to the cylindrical body so as not to interfere with the load loaded on the loading platform or when the load is unloaded. Even if the bolt nut for fixing the support post is oriented in the lateral direction, the end of the bolt nut (the bolt head or the nut or the bolt shaft end protruding from the nut) protrudes from the synthetic resin vertical wall. Inconveniences such as collision with the other transport cart during nesting can also be avoided.
架台の全体を合成樹脂製として、全体の軽量化や、表面が金属ではなく合成樹脂であることによるメリットを期待することは可能であるが、この場合、請求項12に記載の構成によれば、補強板の組み込みにより架台全体の強度不足を補わせることができる。しかも当該補強板は、組立て時に下側から補強板挿入溝部に挿入した後、移動用車輪の取付けと補強板のボルト止め作業を行なうだけで、仮にそのボルト止めが1個所であったとしても、補強板を架台内の所定位置に確実に固定することができる。特に請求項13に記載の構成によれば、架台側の副凹部に挿入された前記筒状体を架台に固定するためのボルトを前記補強板の固定ボルトに兼用することができ、部品点数と組立て工数を削減することができる。更に、請求項14に記載の構成によれば、補強板自体を、筒状体を架台に固定するためのボルトに対する板ナットとして利用することになり、部品点数の一層の削減を図ることができる。
It is possible to expect the overall weight of the pedestal to be made of synthetic resin, and to reduce the overall weight and to benefit from the fact that the surface is not a metal but a synthetic resin. In this case, according to the configuration of claim 12 Incorporation of a reinforcing plate can compensate for the lack of strength of the entire base. Moreover, after the reinforcing plate is inserted into the reinforcing plate insertion groove from the lower side at the time of assembling, only the mounting of the moving wheel and the bolting operation of the reinforcing plate are performed. The reinforcing plate can be securely fixed at a predetermined position in the gantry.

Similarly, the tubular body 6B fixed to the other end of the connecting member 3 is fitted into the vertical side wall portion 26 and the tubular body mounting sub-recess 25 of the gantry 1B, and is located inside the tubular body 6B. The mounting seat 40 is fitted into the connecting member mounting main recess 23 of the gantry 1B, and is detachably attached to the gantry 1B side by bolts 38 and 42, respectively.
上記作業により組み立てられた平面形状がH形の台車部に対して、一対の側パネル4A,4Bを各架台1A,1Bに取り付ける。即ち、各側パネル4A,4Bの取付け用支柱5を各架台1A,1B上に取り付けられている連結部材3の両端の筒状体6A,6Bに差し込む。このとき、取付け用支柱5の横断面形状と各筒状体6A,6Bの横断面形状により、側パネル4A,4Bの幅方向が各架台1A,1Bの長さ方向と平行向きに規制される。そしてこの筒状体6A,6Bに対する取付け用支柱5の差し込み深さは、当該筒状体6A,6Bの上端に側パネル4A,4Bの下側辺が当接して支持されることにより一定になり、このとき、前記垂直側壁部26側の取付け孔29と筒状体6A,6B側の取付け孔37に対して同心状に重なるように、取付け用支柱5の下端部に水平に貫通する取付け孔45が設けられている。従って、垂直側壁部26の取付け孔29、筒状体6A,6Bの取付け孔37、及び取付け用支柱5の取付け孔45にわたって片側からボルト46を挿通し、反対側に突出したボルト46にナット47を螺合締結することにより、側パネル4A,4Bを、連結部材3の両端に固着された筒状体6A,6Bを介して架台1A,1B上に着脱自在に立設させることができる。尚、上記のように各側パネル4A,4Bの取付け用支柱5を各架台1A,1B側の筒状体6A,6Bに差し込んでボルトナット46,47により固定したとき、筒状体6A,6Bの上端近傍に設けられている支軸挿通孔43aと同心状に重なる支軸挿通孔43bが取付け用支柱5に設けられている。
A pair of side panels 4A and 4B are attached to each of the gantry 1A and 1B with respect to the trolley part having a planar shape assembled by the above operation. That is, the support columns 5 for the side panels 4A and 4B are inserted into the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B at both ends of the connecting member 3 mounted on the mounts 1A and 1B. At this time, the width direction of the side panels 4A and 4B is regulated in parallel with the length direction of the gantry 1A and 1B by the cross-sectional shape of the mounting column 5 and the cross-sectional shape of the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B. . The insertion depth of the mounting column 5 with respect to the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B becomes constant when the lower sides of the side panels 4A and 4B are in contact with and supported by the upper ends of the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B. At this time, the mounting hole that horizontally penetrates the lower end portion of the mounting column 5 so as to concentrically overlap the mounting hole 29 on the vertical side wall portion 26 side and the mounting hole 37 on the cylindrical body 6A, 6B side. 45 is provided. Accordingly, the bolt 46 is inserted from one side through the mounting hole 29 of the vertical side wall portion 26, the mounting hole 37 of the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B, and the mounting hole 45 of the mounting column 5, and the nut 47 is inserted into the bolt 46 protruding to the opposite side. As a result, the side panels 4A and 4B can be detachably installed on the gantry 1A and 1B via the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B fixed to both ends of the connecting member 3, respectively. When the mounting columns 5 for the side panels 4A and 4B are inserted into the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B on the side of the mounts 1A and 1B and fixed with the bolt nuts 46 and 47 as described above, the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B are attached. A supporting shaft insertion hole 43 b concentrically overlapping with a supporting shaft insertion hole 43 a provided in the vicinity of the upper end is provided in the mounting column 5.
側パネル4A,4Bを筒状体6A,6Bに取り付けるボルトナット46,47は、筒状体6A,6Bの下端を架台1A,1B(金属製本体11)に固定するボルト38と共に、垂直側壁部26を介して当該筒状体6A,6Bを架台1A,1B(合成樹脂製外装体12)に取り付けるのにも役立っている。而して当該ボルトナット46,47は、垂直側壁部26の両側壁部26a,26bにおける突条27間の凹部28内を貫通することになるので、ボルト頭部46aや、ナット47及び当該ナット47から突出するボルト軸端46bが凹部28内から突出しないように前記突条27の高さを高くすることができるのであるが、この実施例では、図6及び図9に示すように、凹部28の深さをボルト頭部46aが丁度納まる程度に構成している。
Bolt nuts 46 and 47 for attaching the side panels 4A and 4B to the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B are vertical side walls together with bolts 38 for fixing the lower ends of the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B to the mounts 1A and 1B (metal body 11). 26 also serves to attach the cylindrical bodies 6A, 6B to the gantry 1A, 1B (synthetic resin exterior body 12) via the H.26. Thus, the bolt nuts 46 and 47 pass through the recesses 28 between the protrusions 27 in the side wall portions 26a and 26b of the vertical side wall portion 26, so that the bolt head portion 46a, the nut 47 and the nut The height of the protrusion 27 can be increased so that the bolt shaft end 46b protruding from 47 does not protrude from the inside of the recess 28. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. The depth of 28 is set to such an extent that the bolt head 46a just fits.
従って、図5に示すように、この搬送台車をネスティング方向規制用突起部10で阻止されない正規の向きでネスティングしたときに、隣接する搬送台車の連結部材3が当接する側壁部26a、即ち、ネスティング方向規制用突起部10のある側とは反対側の側壁部26aの凹部28内にボルト頭部46aが嵌合する向きでボルトナット46,47を使用して側パネル4A,4Bを筒状体6A,6Bに取り付けることにより、反対側の側壁部26の凹部28内からボルト軸端46bが突出しても、ネスティング時に搬送台車の連結部材3がボルト軸端46bに当接して損傷を受ける恐れを無くすことができる。換言すれば、ネスティング時には、一方の搬送台車の架台1A上の垂直側壁部26における前記側壁部26aの突条27を他方の搬送台車の連結部材3に当接させると共に、他方の搬送台車の架台1B上の垂直側壁部26における前記側壁部26aの突条27を一方の搬送台車の連結部材3に当接させて、隣接する搬送台車間でのネスティング方向の衝突による衝撃も緩和させることができる。勿論、ボルトナット46,47の向きを考慮しなくとも良いように、前記垂直側壁部26における両側壁部26a,26bの突条27を十分に高くして、ナット47側のボルト軸端46bも常に凹部28内に納まるように構成することも可能である。
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, when this transport carriage is nested in a normal direction that is not blocked by the nesting direction restricting projection 10, the side wall 26a with which the connecting member 3 of the adjacent transport carriage comes into contact, that is, the nesting, The side panels 4A and 4B are tubular bodies using bolt nuts 46 and 47 in a direction in which the bolt heads 46a are fitted in the recesses 28 of the side wall 26a opposite to the side on which the direction regulating projections 10 are provided. By attaching to 6A and 6B, even if the bolt shaft end 46b protrudes from the inside of the recess 28 of the opposite side wall portion 26, there is a risk that the connecting member 3 of the transport carriage will come into contact with the bolt shaft end 46b and be damaged during nesting. It can be lost. In other words, at the time of nesting, the protrusion 27 of the side wall portion 26a in the vertical side wall portion 26 on the gantry 1A of one transport carriage is brought into contact with the connecting member 3 of the other transport carriage and the gantry of the other transport carriage The protrusion 27 of the side wall part 26a in the vertical side wall part 26 on 1B can be brought into contact with the connecting member 3 of one of the transport carriages, so that the impact caused by the collision in the nesting direction between the adjacent transport carriages can be reduced. . Of course, in order not to consider the direction of the bolt nuts 46, 47, the protrusions 27 of the side wall portions 26a, 26b in the vertical side wall portion 26 are made sufficiently high so that the bolt shaft end 46b on the nut 47 side is also provided. It is also possible to configure so that it always fits in the recess 28.
一対の側パネル4A,4Bを取り付けたならば、荷台7を取り付ける。この合成樹脂製の荷台7には、図1、図8、図9、及び図11に示すように、その一側辺の中央位置に一対の軸受け用突出片44が、筒状体6A,6Bを間に挟むことができる間隔で一体成形により突設されている。この一対の軸受け用突出片44を、この実施例では、荷台7の係止具9を備えている側の側パネル4Aを取り付けている架台1A上の筒状体6Aに対して、図9に示すように外嵌させ、当該筒状体6A側の支軸挿通孔43a、当該筒状体6Aに挿入されてボルトナット46,47により固定されている側パネル4Aの取付け用支柱5の支軸挿通孔43b、及び軸受け用突出片44の軸孔44aにわたって水平支軸8を挿通させ、当該水平支軸8の周りで上下揺動自在に荷台7を取り付ける。而して当該荷台7は、前記水平支軸8の周りで水平に倒伏させることにより、凹溝部7bにおいて連結部材3上に嵌合すると共に、その長さ方向の両端の左右両側にある被支持面7cにおいて両架台1A,1Bの合成樹脂製外装体12上で支持されることになる。
When the pair of side panels 4A and 4B are attached, the loading platform 7 is attached. As shown in FIGS. 1, 8, 9, and 11, the synthetic resin carrier 7 has a pair of bearing protruding pieces 44 at the center of one side thereof, and the cylindrical bodies 6 </ b> A and 6 </ b> B. Are formed by integral molding at intervals that can be sandwiched between them. In this embodiment, the pair of bearing projecting pieces 44 is shown in FIG. 9 with respect to the cylindrical body 6A on the gantry 1A to which the side panel 4A on the side having the anchor 9 of the loading platform 7 is attached. As shown, the support shaft insertion hole 43a on the cylindrical body 6A side, the support shaft of the support column 5 for mounting the side panel 4A inserted into the cylindrical body 6A and fixed by bolt nuts 46, 47 The horizontal support shaft 8 is inserted through the insertion hole 43 b and the shaft hole 44 a of the bearing projecting piece 44, and the loading platform 7 is attached to the horizontal support shaft 8 so as to be swingable up and down. Thus, the loading platform 7 is fitted on the connecting member 3 in the recessed groove portion 7b by being horizontally inclined around the horizontal support shaft 8, and is supported on both the left and right sides at both ends in the length direction. The surface 7c is supported on the synthetic resin exterior body 12 of the two racks 1A and 1B.
尚、この実施例に使用した水平支軸8は、金属製の丸棒の一端に頭部8aを備え、他端には、抜け止め用突条8bを周方向複数箇所に軸方向に沿って一体に突設したものであって、割りピンやβピンなどの抜け止め部品を併用しなくとも、前記抜け止め用突条8bを合成樹脂製の軸受け用突出片44の軸孔44aに圧入貫通させることにより、軸孔44aから突出した抜け止め用突条8bが水平支軸8を抜け止めするように構成している。勿論、金属製となる筒状体6A側の支軸挿通孔43aと、同様に金属製となる取付け用支柱5の支軸挿通孔43bとに対しては、抜け止め用突条8bに影響されずに水平支軸8を円滑に挿通できるように構成されている。
The horizontal support shaft 8 used in this embodiment is provided with a head portion 8a at one end of a metal round bar, and at the other end, retaining protrusions 8b along the axial direction at a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction. The protrusions 8b are integrally protruded and press-fitted into the shaft hole 44a of the protruding piece 44 for bearing made of synthetic resin without using a retaining member such as a split pin or a β pin. By doing so, the retaining protrusion 8b protruding from the shaft hole 44a is configured to prevent the horizontal support shaft 8 from slipping out. Of course, the supporting shaft insertion hole 43a on the cylindrical body 6A side made of metal and the supporting shaft insertion hole 43b of the mounting support column 5 made of metal are also affected by the retaining protrusion 8b. It is comprised so that the horizontal spindle 8 can be smoothly inserted without.
使用しない搬送台車をネスティングするときには、先に説明したように、両架台1A,1B上に突設されているネスティング方向規制用突起部10によって、ネスティング方向を統一することができると共に、隣接する搬送台車間における連結部材3と筒状体6A,6Bとの衝突による衝撃を、当該筒状体6A,6Bを囲むように合成樹脂製外装体12から一体に突設された合成樹脂製の垂直側壁部26、それも突条27によって効果的に緩和させることができる。勿論、搬送台車として使用しているときには、架台1A,1Bの周囲表面を形成している合成樹脂製外装体12の周囲側壁部12b、それも金属製本体11との間に空間を形成する突条部12cの存在により、他物との衝突時の確実なバンパー効果を得ることができ、別部品のバンパーを取り付ける必要がない。
When nesting transport carts that are not used, as described above, the nesting direction regulating projections 10 projecting on the two racks 1A and 1B can unify the nesting directions, and the adjacent transport carts. Synthetic resin vertical sidewalls integrally projecting from the synthetic resin exterior body 12 so as to surround the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B with respect to the impact caused by the collision between the connecting member 3 and the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B between the carriages The portion 26, which can also be effectively relaxed by the protrusion 27. Of course, when it is used as a transport carriage, the peripheral side wall portion 12b of the synthetic resin exterior body 12 forming the peripheral surface of the gantry 1A, 1B, and the protrusion that also forms a space between the metal main body 11 and the peripheral side wall portion 12b. Due to the presence of the strip portion 12c, a reliable bumper effect at the time of collision with another object can be obtained, and there is no need to attach a bumper as a separate part.
更に、各架台1A,1Bの上側面レベルに対して連結部材3の下側面レベルを高くしているので、ネスティング時に一方の搬送台車の連結部材3の下側に他方の搬送台車の架台1A,1Bを進入させる際に摩擦抵抗を受ける恐れがなく、容易且つ円滑にネスティングすることができるのであるが、架台1A,1Bの上面と連結部材3の下側面との間に空隙があると、架台1A,1Bの合成樹脂製外装体12を金属製本体11と連結部材3との間で挟み付ける構造でないことと、金属製本体11と合成樹脂製外装体12とを各架台1A,1Bの互いに対向する内側面側と外側面側の両方でブラインドリベット21などにより結合するのではなく、外側面側でのみブラインドリベット21により結合する構造であることにより、架台1A,1Bの外側面側が他物に衝突したとき、架台1A,1Bの内側面側で金属製本体11に対し合成樹脂製外装体12が浮き上がるように傾動する恐れがある。しかしながら上記実施例によれば、合成樹脂製外装体12に連結部材3の下側面に当接する連結部材支持用第一突出部22及び第二突出部24が一体成形されているので、このような不都合も生じない。
Furthermore, since the lower side level of the connecting member 3 is made higher than the upper side level of the respective bases 1A and 1B, the base 1A of the other transport carriage is placed below the connection member 3 of one transport base during nesting. There is no risk of receiving frictional resistance when entering 1B, and nesting can be performed easily and smoothly. However, if there is a gap between the upper surface of the gantry 1A, 1B and the lower surface of the connecting member 3, the gantry The synthetic resin outer body 12 of 1A, 1B is not structured to be sandwiched between the metal main body 11 and the connecting member 3, and the metal main body 11 and the synthetic resin outer body 12 are connected to each other of the mounts 1A, 1B. It is not connected by the blind rivet 21 or the like on both the inner surface side and the outer surface side facing each other, but is connected by the blind rivet 21 only on the outer surface side. When the side surface collides with another object, pedestal 1A, there is a risk of tilting as synthetic resin sheathing body 12 floats relative to the metallic body 11 at the inner surface side of 1B. However, according to the above-described embodiment, the first protrusion 22 and the second protrusion 24 for supporting the connecting member, which are in contact with the lower surface of the connecting member 3, are integrally formed on the synthetic resin exterior body 12. There is no inconvenience.
又、例えば販売までの流通過程にある多数台の搬送台車を輸送するときや倉庫で保管するような場合には、水平支軸8を抜いて荷台7を取り外し、一対の側パネル4A,4Bは、ボルトナット46,47を取り外して架台1A,1B側の筒状体6A,6Bから引き抜き、両架台1A,1Bからボルト38,42を外して、両端の筒状体6A,6Bと共に連結部材3を両架台1A,1Bから取り外すことにより、長さ方向の両端部下側に移動用車輪2(これも必要に応じてボルト34の取り外しにより架台1A,1Bから取り外すことができる)を備えた2つの架台1A,1Bと、両端に筒状体6A,6Bを備えた連結部材3と、互いに偏平状に重ねることができる2枚の側パネル4A,4B及び荷台7に分割することができ、両架台1A,1Bと連結部材3を、両架台1A,1Bが連結部材3で一体化された平面形状H形の台車部として取り扱わなければならない場合と比較して、限られた積載空間又は格納空間内に多数台の搬送台車を効率よく詰め込むことが容易になる。
For example, when transporting a large number of transport carts in the distribution process until sale or when storing them in a warehouse, the horizontal support shaft 8 is pulled out and the loading platform 7 is removed, and the pair of side panels 4A and 4B are Then, the bolt nuts 46 and 47 are removed and pulled out from the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B on the gantry 1A and 1B side, the bolts 38 and 42 are removed from both the gantry 1A and 1B, and the connecting member 3 together with the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B at both ends.

上記補強板51を架台1A,1Bの合成樹脂製本体50の補強板挿入溝部61に下側から差し込んだ状態で、合成樹脂製本体50の両端部下側に移動用車輪2の取付け座31を、各取付け孔60を上下方向に貫通するボルトナット63,64で取り付けることにより、補強板51が内蔵され且つ両端部下側に移動用車輪2を備えた架台1A,1Bが組み立てられる。尚、この実施例では、各取付け孔60の上端開口部にナット64が回り止め状態で嵌合するナット嵌合凹部60aが形成されており、このナット嵌合凹部60aに嵌合させたナット64に対してボルト63を螺合締結させるように構成され、ナット64やボルト63の軸端が架台1A,1B(合成樹脂製本体50)の上面から突出しないように構成している。
In a state where the reinforcing plate 51 is inserted into the reinforcing plate insertion groove 61 of the synthetic resin main body 50 of the gantry 1A, 1B from below, the mounting seats 31 of the moving wheels 2 are placed below both ends of the synthetic resin main body 50. By attaching each mounting hole 60 with bolt nuts 63 and 64 penetrating in the vertical direction, the pedestals 1A and 1B having the reinforcing plate 51 and having the moving wheels 2 on the lower sides of both ends are assembled. In this embodiment, a nut fitting recess 60a in which the nut 64 is fitted in a non-rotating state is formed in the upper end opening of each mounting hole 60, and the nut 64 fitted in the nut fitting recess 60a. The nut 63 and the bolt 63 are configured so that the shaft ends of the nut 64 and the bolt 63 do not protrude from the upper surface of the gantry 1A, 1B (synthetic resin main body 50).
この後、連結部材3の両端の筒状体6A,6Bを垂直側壁部26内から筒状体取付け用副凹部57内に挿入すると共に、連結部材3の両端下側の取付け座52の下半部を連結部材取付け用主凹部56内に嵌合させる。連結部材取付け用主凹部56への筒状体6A,6Bの挿入深さは、連結部材取付け用主凹部56に対する取付け座52の嵌合により決まり、この結果、筒状体取付け用副凹部57を形成している角筒状壁部50cの取付け孔59、筒状体6A,6Bの架台1A,1Bへの取付け孔55、及び補強板51の貫通ネジ孔62が同心状に重なるので、架台1A,1Bの外側面側からボルト65を取付け孔55,59に挿通させると共に補強板51の貫通ネジ孔62に螺合締結することにより、補強板51をボルト65に対する板ナットとして、筒状体6A,6Bを架台1A,1B(合成樹脂製本体50及び補強板51)に固定することができる。尚、架台1A,1Bの外側面、即ち、合成樹脂製本体50の外側面を形成する周囲側壁部50bには、筒状体6A,6Bを固定するためのボルト65の頭部が嵌合する上下方向の凹溝部50gが形成されている。
Thereafter, the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B at both ends of the connecting member 3 are inserted from the vertical side wall portion 26 into the sub-recess portion 57 for mounting the cylindrical body, and the lower half of the mounting seat 52 below both ends of the connecting member 3. The portion is fitted into the connecting member mounting main recess 56. The insertion depth of the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B into the connecting member mounting main recess 56 is determined by the fitting of the mounting seat 52 to the connecting member mounting main recess 56. As a result, the cylindrical body mounting sub recess 57 is formed. Since the mounting hole 59 of the formed rectangular tubular wall portion 50c, the mounting holes 55 of the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B to the mounts 1A and 1B, and the through screw holes 62 of the reinforcing plate 51 overlap concentrically, the mount 1A , 1B, the bolt 65 is inserted into the mounting holes 55, 59 and screwed into the through screw hole 62 of the reinforcing plate 51, whereby the reinforcing plate 51 is used as a plate nut for the bolt 65 to form the cylindrical body 6A. , 6B can be fixed to the gantry 1A, 1B (the synthetic resin main body 50 and the reinforcing plate 51). The heads of bolts 65 for fixing the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B are fitted to the outer side surfaces of the mounts 1A and 1B, that is, the peripheral side wall portions 50b that form the outer surface of the synthetic resin main body 50. A vertical groove 50g is formed.
一方、連結部材取付け用主凹部56内に連結部材3の両端下側の取付け座52を嵌合させることにより、取付け座52側のナット(貫通ネジ孔)54a,54bと架台1A,1B(合成樹脂製本体50)側の2つの取付け孔58a,58bとが同心状に重なるので、当該取付け孔58a,58bの下側から挿入したボルト66a,66bを取付け座52側のナット(貫通ネジ孔)54a,54bに螺合締結することにより、連結部材3の両端下側の取付け座52を架台1A,1B(合成樹脂製本体50)の連結部材取付け用主凹部56内に固定することができる。この連結部材3の取付け状態において、当該連結部材3の下側面レベルが架台1A,1Bの上側面レベルより所定高さだけ高くなるように、取付け座52の高さを設定している。
On the other hand, by fitting the mounting seats 52 on both lower sides of the connecting member 3 into the connecting member mounting main recess 56, nuts (through screw holes) 54a and 54b on the mounting seat 52 side and the bases 1A and 1B (composite) Since the two mounting holes 58a and 58b on the resin main body 50) side are concentrically overlapped, the bolts 66a and 66b inserted from below the mounting holes 58a and 58b are nuts (through screw holes) on the mounting seat 52 side. By screwing and fastening to 54a and 54b, the mounting seats 52 at the lower ends of both ends of the connecting member 3 can be fixed in the connecting member mounting main recesses 56 of the mounts 1A and 1B (the synthetic resin main body 50). In the mounted state of the connecting member 3, the height of the mounting seat 52 is set so that the lower surface level of the connecting member 3 is higher than the upper surface level of the mounts 1A and 1B by a predetermined height.
尚、この実施例では、先の実施例に示した側パネル固定用の取付け孔37を筒状体6A,6Bに設けていない。従って、側パネル4A,4Bの取付け用支柱5には、側パネル4A,4Bの下辺が筒状体6A,6Bの上端で支持される深さまで当該筒状体6A,6Bに挿入したときに筒状体6A,6B側の支軸挿通孔43aと同心状に重なる支軸挿通孔43bのみを設け、荷台7を軸支する側の側パネル4Aは、これら支軸挿通孔43a,43bと荷台7側の軸受け用突出片44の軸孔44aにわたって支軸8を挿通して荷台7を軸支することにより、前記支軸8を介して筒状体6Aに対し抜け止め状態に取り付けることができ、他方の側パネル4Bは、支軸8に代わる専用の結合ピン又はボルトナットを支軸挿通孔43a,43bに挿通することにより、筒状体6Bに取り付けることができる。
In this embodiment, the mounting holes 37 for fixing the side panel shown in the previous embodiment are not provided in the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B. Therefore, the column 5 for mounting the side panels 4A and 4B has a cylindrical shape when it is inserted into the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B to such a depth that the lower sides of the side panels 4A and 4B are supported by the upper ends of the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B. Only the support shaft insertion hole 43b concentrically overlapping the support shaft insertion hole 43a on the side of the rods 6A and 6B is provided, and the side panel 4A on the side of supporting the loading platform 7 has the support shaft insertion holes 43a and 43b and the loading platform 7. By inserting the support shaft 8 through the shaft hole 44a of the bearing protrusion piece 44 on the side and supporting the loading platform 7, it can be attached to the cylindrical body 6A via the support shaft 8 in a retaining state. The other side panel 4B can be attached to the cylindrical body 6B by inserting a dedicated coupling pin or bolt and nut instead of the support shaft 8 into the support shaft insertion holes 43a and 43b.
勿論、支軸8が取付け用支柱5を貫通しない側の側パネル4Bの取付け用支柱5の長さを長くして、筒状体6Bと架台1Bとを連結するボルト65を当該取付け用支柱5の下端部に貫通させ、当該ボルト65で側パネル4Bの取付け用支柱5を筒状体6Bに取り付けるように構成することもできる。勿論、この側パネル4B側の取り付け構造を側パネル4A側にも採用することができる。何れにしても、先の実施例のように、側パネル4A,4Bの取付け用支柱5を筒状体6A,6Bに固定するためのボルトナット46,47は不要になり、当該筒状体6A,6Bをカバーする垂直側壁部26の両側壁部26a,26bは、ネスティング時の緩衝部材としてのみ機能することになるので、両側壁部26a,26bに突条27を設ける場合も、当該突条27は、緩衝効果だけを考慮して、任意の高さのものを任意の間隔で任意の本数(図示例は3本)だけ配設することができる。
Of course, the length of the mounting column 5 of the side panel 4B on the side where the support shaft 8 does not penetrate the mounting column 5 is lengthened, and the bolt 65 connecting the cylindrical body 6B and the gantry 1B is attached to the mounting column 5. It is also possible to configure the mounting column 5 to be attached to the cylindrical body 6B with the bolt 65. Of course, the mounting structure on the side panel 4B side can also be employed on the side panel 4A side. In any case, as in the previous embodiment, the bolt nuts 46 and 47 for fixing the support columns 5 for attaching the side panels 4A and 4B to the cylindrical bodies 6A and 6B are not necessary, and the cylindrical body 6A. , 6B, both side wall portions 26a, 26b of the vertical side wall portion 26 function only as a cushioning member during nesting. Therefore, even when the protrusions 27 are provided on both side wall portions 26a, 26b, the protrusions In consideration of only the buffering effect 27, an arbitrary number (three in the illustrated example) of an arbitrary height can be arranged at an arbitrary interval.
