Description

  The present invention relates to a pallet for transportation suitable for transportation of weight precision equipment such as an automatic teller machine (ATM) and a copying machine.

  Weight precision equipment such as ATMs and copiers are generally provided with moving casters at the four corners of the bottom. Conventionally, such weight precision equipment has been loaded and unloaded on a pallet using a forklift, but the fork cannot be inserted well depending on the position of the caster, or it is unstable even if it is inserted. The precision instrument could fall and be damaged. In addition, pressure is applied to the portion in contact with the fork, and the bottom surface of the weight precision device may be deformed or damaged. Furthermore, even on a pallet, the weight precision device is supported by a caster, so the stability is poor, and there is a risk of falling out of balance during transportation on a truck or loading / unloading a pallet onto a transportation truck.

  On the other hand, by attaching a slope to the pallet and using a heavy-duty caster to get on and off, the pallet can be loaded onto and unloaded from the pallet without using a forklift. A box pallet in which a high fence body is erected around the pallet has been proposed (Patent Documents 1 and 2). However, for example, ATM has about 300 kg, and when such a heavy article is manually moved on the slope, the track of the caster cannot be controlled, and there is a possibility that the balance is lost and the roll falls. Further, it is not easy to directly move the weight precision device from the slope to a stable position on the pallet or fine-tune the pallet. Furthermore, the box pallet is bulky and has a problem of increasing the space required for storage and recovery transportation in an empty pallet state.

It is an enlarged side view of the connection part of the mounting base and slope part of the embodiment. It is a figure which shows the step which introduces a weight precision apparatus into a slope part. It is a figure which shows the step which made the weight precision apparatus run on a mounting base, and was made to contact | abut to a stopper.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the conveyance pallet of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

  1-4 is a figure which shows embodiment of the pallet for conveyance of this invention. The transfer pallet 1 includes a mounting table 2 on which the weight precision device 20 is mounted and transported, and a slope portion 3 for loading and unloading on the mounting table 2 by casters 20 a provided on the bottom surface of the weight precision device 20.

  The mounting table 2 has a rectangular shape, and a mounting plate 2B is stacked on the leg 2A. A steel plate having a thickness of about 2.3 to 4.5 mm is used for the mounting plate 2B. Since a concentrated load is applied to the caster part of the weight precision device 20, it is better to make the mounting table 2B thicker from the viewpoint of preventing deformation. However, if it is too thick, the weight of the pallet becomes excessive, so both are taken into consideration. The optimum thickness may be selected. On the other hand, the leg portion 2A preferably includes a foamed plastic layer 22 in order to mitigate impact during transportation and loading / unloading and to prevent damage to internal mechanisms and the like. As the foamed plastic, hard foamed urethane, foamed polylactic acid or the like can be used, and the foamed plastic layer 22 is sandwiched between substrates 21 and 22 such as veneer boards. Further, the leg portion 2A is provided with an insertion port 8 for inserting and removing a handlift fork on the side surfaces of the stacking side edge 2a and the opposite edge 2b. The thickness of the leg 2A is better from the viewpoint of the buffering action, but in order to stably load and unload the weight precision equipment on the pallet, the thickness of the leg 2A is reduced and the slope 3 is inclined. Since it is better to make it gentle, it is set appropriately in consideration of both of these, and generally, it may be a height at which a fork of a low floor handlift can be inserted, that is, about 50 to 55 mm.

  Although the mounting table 2 and the slope portion 3 may be integrated or separated, in this embodiment, they are configured as separate bodies as shown in FIGS. In this manner, if the separate slope portion 3 is provided on the shipping side and the transport destination, only the mounting table 2 needs to be transported during transport, so that the space in the transport truck can be used effectively. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a state in which the mounting table 2 and the slope portion 3 are separated, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged side view of a connecting portion between the mounting table 2 and the slope portion 3. The slope portion 3 is formed of an iron plate having a thickness of about 3.2 to 4.5 mm, and a locking pin 10 is provided on the lower surface of the end edge portion 3b. On the other hand, a connecting member 9 is provided on the stacking side edge 2a of the mounting table 2, and a pin receiving hole 9a is formed in the connecting member 9, and a locking pin 10 is fitted into the pin receiving hole 9a from above. By combining, the mounting table 2 and the slope part 3 are connected. The edge portion 3b of the slope portion 3 is bent so as to be horizontal with the upper surface of the mounting table 2 in a connected state. The slope of the slope portion 3 is preferably a 5/100 to 10/100 gradient so that the weight precision device 20 can travel stably.

  The length of the inclined surface of the slope portion 3 is set slightly shorter than the wheel base value of the weight precision device 20. By setting the length as described above, the slope of the slope portion 3 is made gentle, and the load is distributed because the front and rear wheels of the caster are not applied to the slope portion 3 at the same time. The force required to push up to 2 can be reduced. Further, a reinforcing plate 6 made of a steel plate having a thickness of about 5 mm is provided on the lower surface of the slope portion 3 at a position where the caster passes (FIG. 3C).

  A pair of parallel guide rails 4 for guiding casters are provided on the upper surface of the mounting table 2 and the slope portion 3 so as to be connected to each other in a direction perpendicular to the stacking side edge 2a. The guide rail of the slope portion 3 is composed of an opening / closing portion 4a and a parallel portion 4b. The opening / closing portion 4a is fixed to the slope portion 3 by a bolt in the vicinity of the connecting portion with the parallel portion 4b, and can be opened and closed with this as a fulcrum. It has become. Further, the slope portion 3 is provided with a plurality of bolt receiving holes in a portion where the starting end of the opening / closing portion 4 a is movable, and the starting end is adjusted to a position corresponding to the interval of the casters 20 a of the weight precision device 20 and fixed by the bolt 11. be able to. The parallel portion 4b is equidistant from the center line in the direction orthogonal to the stacking side edge 3a in the slope portion 3, and the distance between the guide rails is substantially the same as the distance between the inner surfaces or outer surfaces of the casters 20a of the weight precision device 20. It arrange | positions so that it may become. The guide rails 4c of the mounting table are connected to the parallel part 4b of the slope part 3 and arranged in parallel at the same interval.

  In general, the weight precision device includes a height adjustment adjuster used for installation in addition to the moving caster. The height of the guide rail 4 is higher than the height from the bottom surface of the weight precision device 20 or the ground contact surface of the caster 20a to the lower end at the top dead center of the fixing height adjustment adjuster and the lower end of the caster bearing. It is set to be low so as not to come into contact with these, and for example, round steel having a diameter of 15 to 20 mm or a square bar having a diameter of 15 to 20 mm is used. The guide rail 4 may be fixed by welding. However, if the guide rail 4 is bolted so that the guide rail 4 can be translated in the width direction of the guide rail, it is possible to cope with models having different caster intervals.

  A stopper 5 is provided at the end of the guide rail 4 c on the mounting table 2. The height of the stopper 5 may be generally the same as that of the guide rail 4, and is fixed to the mounting plate 2B by fixing means such as welding or bolting using square steel or round steel having a height of about 15 to 20 mm. .

  Further, a reinforcing steel material 7 provided with a locking hook is provided at the edge of the upper surface of the mounting table 2 (the upper surface of the mounting plate 2B). At least one pair of the reinforcing steel members 7 is provided on the opposing edge portions 2a and 2b and 2c and 2d, respectively. A lashing rail (e.g., Parman E track rail) can be used as a reinforcing steel material with a locking hook. If this is cut to an appropriate length and fixed to the upper surface of the mounting table 2 by welding. Good. The lashing rail has a trapezoidal central portion, and has strength against bending. The weight precision device 20 is fixed on the mounting table 2 by attaching a lashing belt to the locking hooks of the reinforcing steel members 7 provided at the opposing edge portions.

  FIG. 4A is a diagram showing a stage of introducing the weight precision device 20 into the slope portion 3, and FIG. 4B is a diagram showing a stage of running the weight precision device 20 on the mounting table and contacting the stopper. As shown in FIG. 4 a, the distance between the start ends of the guide rails 4 is sufficiently narrower than the distance between the casters 20 a of the weight precision device 20, so that the two front casters 20 a pass outside the guide rails 4. It can be easily guided to part 3. Since the opening / closing portion 4a gradually increases in distance, as the weight precision device 20 travels, the movement of the two front casters 20a is gradually regulated, and the guide rail 4 becomes parallel (4b ), The inner surface of the caster 20a comes into sliding contact with the outer surface of the guide rail 4, so that the weight precision device 20 can travel stably. It slowly travels on the mounting table 2 along the guide rail, and as shown in FIG. 4b, the caster 20a is brought into contact with the stopper 5 and stopped. The opening / closing part 4a may be arranged so that the interval gradually increases toward the starting end. In this case, the caster 20a passes through the inside of the guide rail 4 and is guided to the slope portion 3, and in the parallel portion, the outer surface of the caster 20a is in sliding contact with the inner surface of the guide rail and the movement is restricted.

  After the weight precision device 20 is moved to the mounting table 2 in this way, the weight precision is obtained by attaching a lashing belt to the locking hooks of the reinforcing steel plates 7 provided at the opposite edge portions of the mounting table 2. The device 20 is fixed on the mounting table 2. After fixing, the locking pin 10 of the slope part 3 is removed, and the slope part 3 and the mounting table 2 are separated. A forklift fork is inserted into the fork insertion port 8 provided on the side of the leg 2A of the loading side edge 2a or the opposite edge 2b of the mounting table 2, and the weight precision device 20 is fixed to the truck. The table 2 is loaded. If the center of gravity of the weight precision device 20 on the mounting table 2 is deviated from the center in the direction perpendicular to the insertion direction of the fork, the guide rail 4 is disposed at an equal distance from the center. Therefore, the weight precision device 20 can be loaded at a stable position on the mounting table 2, and it is possible to prevent the balance from being lost and falling when being loaded onto the truck. After transporting by truck, unload the mounting table 2 in the same way at the transport destination, release the lashing belt, and then connect the slope part 3 provided at the transport destination to the mounting table 2 so that the weight precision device 20 travels slowly. Then, it is only necessary to unload from the mounting table 2.

(Preparation of pallet for conveyance)
A spacer (hard urethane foam piece) was inserted between a 10 mm thick plywood and a 3 mm thick plywood board, and an outer frame was provided in three directions with a 40 mm spacing. Foamed polyurethane was sprayed from this foaming nozzle into this space to obtain a laminate of foamed rigid polyurethane sandwich structure, which was cut into 1300 mm x 100 mm (2 pieces), 1300 mm x 360 mm to produce foamed rigid polyurethane legs. . A steel plate having a thickness of 3.2 mm and a size of 1300 mm × 1000 mm was used as a mounting plate, and a mounting table was prepared by attaching a leg portion having a width of 360 mm at the center and leg portions having a width of 100 mm at both ends. The guide rail was installed in the position of 210 mm from the center of the mounting board using the round steel of diameter 15mm, respectively. The total length of the guide rail was 1100 mm. As a stopper, an iron piece (height 15 mm × width 30 mm × length 40 mm) was installed at a position 1040 mm (outside the guide rail) from the mounting table side end and 990 mm (outside the guide rail) from the mounting table side end. The length of the lashing rail (E track rail, plate thickness: 3.4 mm, width: 87.6 mm, central convex height: 11 mm, locking hook hole length: 61 mm, locking hook hole pitch: 102 mm) It cut | disconnected to 1300 mm (2 pieces), 820 mm, and 305 mm, and was fixed to the edge part of the mounting base by welding. Further, a receiving plate having pin receiving holes was welded to the lower surface of the loading side edge of the mounting table.

(Production of slope part)
Using a steel plate with a thickness of 3.2 mm and a size of 1000 mm × 650 mm, the edge connected to the mounting table is slightly bent so that it is flush with the mounting plate, and the pin is fitted into the pin receiving hole of the receiving plate. It was provided by welding. A steel plate having a width of 100 mm, a length of 550 mm, and a thickness of 5 mm was welded to the lower surface of the slope through which the casters pass to form a reinforcing plate. In addition, the corner near the uphill entrance of the slope was machined diagonally so that the caster was smoothly placed on the slope. The guide rail of the slope portion was divided into two, upper and lower, and the upper (mounting table side) guide rail was fixed so as to be parallel to each other at the same interval as the guide rail of the above mounting table. On the other hand, the lower (loading side) guide rail is fixed with bolts in the vicinity of the connection with the upper guide rail, and the starting end is opened and closed left and right using this as a fulcrum. And a plurality of bolt receiving holes are provided in the slope portion, and the starting end of the guide rail is fixed with bolts at a desired position.

  The shape of the start end portion of the guide rail of the slope portion was formed in a “C” shape and connected to the conveyance pallet. When the ATM of the model A was pushed up from the slope part, it was able to be pushed up sufficiently by the pushing force by one person and easily moved to a predetermined position on the mounting table. The lower part of the fuselage and the adjuster did not come into contact with the guide rail or the stopper during the push-up on the slope part or the movement to the predetermined position on the mounting table. The adjuster was turned down to fix the ATM to the mounting plate surface. A protective material was applied to the tall part of the ATM, and lashing belts (belt loader RV384E, Perman Co., Ltd.) were hung and tightened at two places. Furthermore, the ATM was fixed by applying a lashing belt to the front and rear as well.

  Insert the fork of the hand lift (minimum loading platform (claw) height: 45 mm, loading platform (claw) width: 150 mm, left and right loading platform spacing: 385 mm, loading platform length: 1100 mm) into the transport pallet, and operate the handle Then, when it was lifted off the floor and moved, it was possible to hold the ATM stably. As described above, the transport pallet loaded with ATMs was loaded on a truck and transported for a long distance, but there was no problem of ATM failure due to vibration or the like.

  By changing the position of the start end of the guide rail of the slope section to make the shape of the guide rail "reverse C" and pushing up the ATM of model B, it can be pushed up easily and stopped and fixed at a predetermined position did it. By the same operation as described above, cargo handling by a hand lift and transportation by truck could be stably performed. From the above, it was confirmed that two types of ATM can be transported with the same transport pallet. In addition, a plurality of pallets for transportation could be stably stacked in an empty state, and these were fastened by a belt tightening machine, and the pallets could be transported without collapsing and without being bulky.
