Description

本発明は、ハニカム部材の梱包体に係り、さらに詳しくは、セラミックス製のハニカム部材を破損することなく梱包し輸送することができる梱包体に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a package of honeycomb members, and more particularly to a package capable of packing and transporting ceramic honeycomb members without damage.

自動車用排気ガス浄化システムに用いられる触媒担体用のセラミックハニカム構造体や、ディーゼルエンジン等の排気ガス中の微粒子を捕集するセラミックハニカムフィルタとして広く使用されているハニカム部材は、触媒活性を高めるため、あるいは、圧力損失を小さくするために、セル壁厚を薄く、セル壁に形成される細孔の気孔率を大きくすることが行われている。そのため、このようなハニカム部材を梱包し輸送する際に、衝撃や振動などにより、ハニカム部材が破損することが少なく、輸送効率が良く、また、環境問題の観点から繰り返し使用することが可能な梱包体を使用することが必要である。 A honeycomb member widely used as a ceramic honeycomb structure for a catalyst carrier used in an exhaust gas purification system for automobiles or a ceramic honeycomb filter for collecting fine particles in exhaust gas of a diesel engine or the like is used to enhance catalyst activity. Alternatively, in order to reduce the pressure loss, the cell wall thickness is reduced and the porosity of the pores formed in the cell wall is increased. Therefore, when packing and transporting such a honeycomb member, the honeycomb member is less likely to be damaged due to impact, vibration, etc., has good transport efficiency, and can be used repeatedly from the viewpoint of environmental problems. It is necessary to use the body.

特許文献１には、多段に積み重ねてゆくことのできる梱包体であって、梱包体の底部又は蓋部を形成する基台と、被梱包物を凸部で支持する緩衝シートとを基本単位とした組み合わせで構成されており、２枚の緩衝シートで被梱包物を挟持したものを、２枚の基台の間に挟み込んで保持する梱包体が記載されている。このような梱包体とすることで、多段積み時における安定性と被梱包物の保護性に優れるとしている。 Patent Document 1 is a packing body that can be stacked in multiple stages, and includes a base unit that forms a bottom part or a lid part of the packing body, and a buffer sheet that supports a packaged object with a convex part as a basic unit. A package body is described in which a product to be packed is sandwiched between two buffer sheets and held between two bases. By using such a packing body, it is said that it is excellent in the stability at the time of multistage stacking, and the protection property of a to-be-packaged object.

特許文献２には、底部と側部とを有し上部が開放された箱体、及び箱体の上面側に配設された蓋体とを備えた、一以上のハニカム状構造体を収納可能な、ハニカム状構造体用梱包体であって、互いに対向する蓋体の内面及び箱体の底部の内面の、ハニカム状構造体を収納したときにハニカム状構造体の両端面がそれぞれ配置される位置に対応する位置に、所定の厚さの保護部材が、ハニカム状構造体の両端面にそれぞれ接触するように配設されてなることを特徴とするハニカム状構造体用梱包体が記載されている。このような梱包体とすることで、ハニカム部材を梱包し輸送する際に、衝撃や振動が生じても、ハニカム部材の端面の外縁部が破損することを防止することができるとしている。 Patent Document 2 can store one or more honeycomb-like structures including a box having a bottom and sides and an open top, and a lid disposed on the upper surface of the box. Further, the packing body for the honeycomb-shaped structure body, in which both end faces of the honeycomb-shaped structure body are disposed when the honeycomb-shaped structure body is housed on the inner surface of the lid body and the inner surface of the bottom portion of the box body which face each other. A package for a honeycomb structure is described, wherein a protective member having a predetermined thickness is disposed at a position corresponding to the position so as to be in contact with both end faces of the honeycomb structure. Yes. By using such a package, it is possible to prevent the outer edge portion of the end face of the honeycomb member from being damaged even if an impact or vibration occurs when the honeycomb member is packed and transported.

特許文献３には、板状の基台と、基台上に配設された、貫通孔方向が水平になるように横置きされたハニカム構造体の側面部を支持する受台と、基台および受台の、下面および側面を包囲する５枚の剛性体パネルからなる直方体形状の箱体とを含むハニカム構造体の梱包体が記載されている。このような梱包体とすることで、多段積みが可能となり、従来に比して、製品を収納しても梱包高さはそれほど高くならず、輸送効率の悪化を防止することができるとしている。 Patent Document 3 discloses a plate-shaped base, a base disposed on the base and supporting a side surface portion of a honeycomb structure horizontally disposed so that the through-hole direction is horizontal, and a base And a package of a honeycomb structure including a rectangular parallelepiped box made of five rigid panels surrounding the lower surface and side surfaces of the cradle. By setting it as such a package, multistage stacking becomes possible, and even if it stores a product compared with the past, the height of packing does not become so high, and it can prevent the deterioration of transport efficiency.

しかしながら、特許文献１に記載の梱包体では、ハニカム部材を多段に積み重ねることで、輸送の効率は向上するが、下段に載置されたハニカム部材には、その上部に載置されたハニカム部材の荷重が全て負荷されるため、輸送の際の衝撃や振動で、ハニカム部材が破損することを避けることは難しかった。特に、ディーゼルエンジン等の排気ガス中の微粒子を捕集するセラミックハニカムフィルタとして使用されるハニカム部材は、外径が１５０ｍｍ以上と大きく、高気孔率で自重も大きいため、ハニカム部材を多段に積み重ねて輸送し、その際の衝撃や振動で下段に載置されたハニカム部材にはより大きな衝撃が生じるので、ハニカム部材の破損を防止することは難しかった。 However, in the package described in Patent Document 1, the efficiency of transportation is improved by stacking the honeycomb members in multiple stages. However, the honeycomb member placed on the lower stage has the honeycomb member placed on the upper part thereof. Since all the loads are applied, it has been difficult to avoid the honeycomb member from being damaged by an impact or vibration during transportation. In particular, a honeycomb member used as a ceramic honeycomb filter that collects particulates in exhaust gas of a diesel engine or the like has a large outer diameter of 150 mm or more, a high porosity, and a large self-weight, so the honeycomb members are stacked in multiple stages. Since a larger impact is generated on the honeycomb member that is transported and placed on the lower stage due to impact or vibration at that time, it is difficult to prevent the honeycomb member from being damaged.

また、特許文献２に記載の梱包体では、輸送の効率を向上させようと、梱包体を多段に積み重ねると、下段に載置された梱包体中のハニカム部材には、その上部に載置された梱包体の荷重が全て負荷されるため、輸送の際の衝撃や振動で、ハニカム部材が破損することを避けることは難しかった。特に、ディーゼルエンジン等の排気ガス中の微粒子を捕集するセラミックハニカムフィルタとして使用されるハニカム部材は、外径が１５０ｍｍ以上と大きく、高気孔率で自重も大きいため、ハニカム部材を収納した梱包体を多段に積み重ねて輸送すると、輸送時の衝撃や振動で、下段に載置された梱包体中のハニカム部材にはより大きな衝撃が生じるので、ハニカム部材の破損を防止することは難しかった。また、梱包体を多段に積み重ねた場合、輸送時の衝撃や振動で、上段の梱包体がずれて倒壊し梱包体中のハニカム部材が破損する場合があった。 Further, in the package described in Patent Document 2, when the packages are stacked in multiple stages in order to improve the transportation efficiency, the honeycomb member in the package placed on the lower stage is placed on the upper part thereof. Since all the loads of the package were loaded, it was difficult to avoid damaging the honeycomb member due to impact or vibration during transportation. In particular, a honeycomb member used as a ceramic honeycomb filter that collects particulates in exhaust gas of a diesel engine or the like has a large outer diameter of 150 mm or more, a high porosity, and a large dead weight. When the stacks are transported in multiple stages, it is difficult to prevent the honeycomb member from being damaged because a larger impact is generated on the honeycomb member in the package placed on the lower stage due to impact and vibration during transportation. Further, when the packing bodies are stacked in multiple stages, the upper packing body may be displaced and collapse due to impact or vibration during transportation, and the honeycomb member in the packing body may be damaged.

さらに、特許文献３に記載の梱包体では、ハニカム部材を貫通孔方向が水平になるように横置きして梱包するため、梱包高さが高くならず、多段積みが可能で輸送効率は向上する。しかしながら、ハニカム部材を横置きして積み重ねた場合、下段に載置されたハニカム部材には、その上部に載置されたハニカム部材の荷重が全て負荷されるうえ、輸送する際の衝撃や振動は、強度が弱い部位であるハニカム部材の貫通孔に垂直な方向に作用するので、ハニカム部材が破損することを防止することは難しかった。また、ハニカム部材を積み重ねない場合でも、ハニカム部材の固定が不十分となるので、輸送する際の衝撃や振動で、破損し易かった。特に、ディーゼルエンジン等の排気ガス中の微粒子を捕集するセラミックハニカムフィルタとして使用されるハニカム部材は、外径が１５０ｍｍ以上と大きく、高気孔率で自重も大きいため、ハニカム部材を多段に積み重ねて輸送すると、その際の衝撃や振動で、下段に載置されたハニカム部材にはより大きな衝撃が生じるので、ハニカム部材の破損を防止することは難しかった。 Furthermore, in the packing body described in Patent Document 3, since the honeycomb member is horizontally placed and packed so that the through-hole direction is horizontal, the packing height does not increase, and multi-stage stacking is possible and the transportation efficiency is improved. . However, when the honeycomb members are stacked horizontally and stacked, the honeycomb members placed on the lower stage are all loaded with the load of the honeycomb members placed on the top, and the impact and vibration during transportation are not Since it acts in the direction perpendicular to the through-holes of the honeycomb member, which is a weak strength part, it was difficult to prevent the honeycomb member from being damaged. Further, even when the honeycomb members are not stacked, the honeycomb members are not sufficiently fixed, so that the honeycomb members are easily damaged by an impact or vibration during transportation. In particular, a honeycomb member used as a ceramic honeycomb filter that collects particulates in exhaust gas of a diesel engine or the like has a large outer diameter of 150 mm or more, a high porosity, and a large self-weight, so the honeycomb members are stacked in multiple stages. When transported, a larger impact is generated on the honeycomb member placed in the lower stage due to the impact and vibration at that time, so it was difficult to prevent the honeycomb member from being damaged.

したがって、本発明は上記課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、ハニカム部材を梱包し、梱包体を多段に積み重ねても、輸送する際に衝撃や振動でハニカム部材が破損し難く、さらに、梱包体を多段に積み重ねても輸送時に梱包体がずれて倒壊し難く、一度の輸送で多くのハニカム部材を効率良く輸送することができるハニカム部材の梱包体を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and even if the honeycomb member is packaged and the package is stacked in multiple stages, the honeycomb member is not easily damaged by impact or vibration during transportation. It is an object of the present invention to provide a package of honeycomb members that can transport many honeycomb members efficiently by a single transport, even if the stacks are stacked in multiple stages, and the package is difficult to collapse during transport.

具体的に本発明は、外箱と前記外箱内に配置されたハニカム部材と前記ハニカム部材を保持する保持部材からなるハニカム部材の梱包体であって、前記保持部材は、その外周における外形形状が、前記外箱の内側形状と略一致し、前記ハニカム部材端部の外形形状と略一致する形状を有する窪み部を有し、前記ハニカム部材の両端部に前記保持部材の窪み部をそれぞれ嵌合させて前記外箱内に配置し、配置された前記保持部材と前記ハニカム部材との高さが前記外箱の深さと略一致し、前記外箱の上部に前記外箱の内側形状よりも大きい蓋体を有することを特徴とする。 Specifically, the present invention is a honeycomb member package comprising an outer box, a honeycomb member disposed in the outer box, and a holding member for holding the honeycomb member, wherein the holding member has an outer shape on an outer periphery thereof. Has a hollow portion that substantially matches the inner shape of the outer box and has a shape that substantially matches the outer shape of the end portion of the honeycomb member, and the hollow portions of the holding member are respectively fitted to both ends of the honeycomb member. Are arranged in the outer box, the height of the arranged holding member and the honeycomb member is substantially the same as the depth of the outer box, the upper portion of the outer box is more than the inner shape of the outer box It has a large lid.

本発明の梱包体において、前記蓋体の上面部に凸部を有し、かつ、前記外箱の下部に、前記外箱を前記蓋体に載置した際に、前記凸部と嵌合可能な凹部を有することが好ましい。 In the packing body of the present invention, the lid has a convex portion on the upper surface portion, and can be fitted to the convex portion when the outer box is placed on the lid at the lower portion of the outer box. It is preferable to have a concave portion.

本発明の梱包体において、前記凸部は、前記窪み部を前記窪み部の底面に垂直な方向に延長した箇所に位置しないように配置されていることが好ましい。 In the package of the present invention, it is preferable that the convex portion is disposed so as not to be located at a location where the concave portion extends in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the concave portion.

本発明の梱包体において、前記ハニカム部材の端部と前記窪み部との間に、シート状の介在物を有することが好ましい。 In the package of the present invention, it is preferable to have a sheet-like inclusion between the end of the honeycomb member and the recess.

本発明の梱包体において、前記介在物がフィルム、紙、布のいずれかからなることが好ましい。 In the package of the present invention, it is preferable that the inclusion is made of any one of a film, paper, and cloth.

次に、本発明の作用効果について説明する。 Next, the function and effect of the present invention will be described.

本発明のハニカム部材の梱包体10は、図1(a)、図２(a)に示すように、外箱2と前記外箱内に配置されたハニカム部材1と前記ハニカム部材を保持する保持部材3からなるハニカム部材の梱包体10であって、前記保持部材3は、その外周における外形形状が、前記外箱の内側形状と略一致し、前記ハニカム部材端部11、12の外形形状と略一致する形状を有する窪み部31を有し、前記ハニカム部材の両端部11、12に前記保持部材3の窪み部31をそれぞれ嵌合させて前記外箱2内に配置し、配置された前記保持部材と前記ハニカム部材との高さが前記外箱の内側形状の深さと略一致し、前記外箱の上部に前記外箱の内側形状よりも大きい蓋体4を有する。これにより次の作用効果を有する。つまり、上記構成とすることで、ハニカム部材1は、その両端部11、12で保持部材3を介して外箱2内に確実に固定されるので、輸送する際に、衝撃や振動が生じてもハニカム部材が破損し難くなる。さらに、図1(b)、図２(b)に示すように、梱包体10を多段に積み重ねた場合、蓋体4が外箱2の内側形状よりも大きいため、上段に載置された梱包体10bの荷重は、その下段の梱包体10aの蓋体4を経由して外箱2とハニカム部材1とに分散するため、下段に載置されたハニカム部材にかかる荷重が小さくなり、輸送の際の衝撃や振動でも、ハニカム部材が破損し難くなる。ここで、前記外箱の上部に前記外箱の内側形状よりも大きい蓋体4を有するとは、図１(a)に示すように、蓋体4の外形が、外箱2の内側形状と外側形状の間にあり、外箱2の上部に所定の高さを有する蓋体4が納まる嵌合部21を有する場合や、図2(a)に示すように、蓋体4の内側形状が、外箱2の外形形状よりも大きい場合を言う。 As shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 2 (a), the honeycomb member packing body 10 of the present invention holds an outer box 2, the honeycomb member 1 disposed in the outer box, and the honeycomb member. A honeycomb member packaging body 10 made of a member 3, wherein the holding member 3 has an outer shape substantially matching an inner shape of the outer box, and an outer shape of the honeycomb member end portions 11 and 12. It has a hollow portion 31 having a substantially matching shape, and is disposed in the outer box 2 by fitting the hollow portion 31 of the holding member 3 to both end portions 11 and 12 of the honeycomb member, and the disposed The height of the holding member and the honeycomb member is substantially the same as the depth of the inner shape of the outer box, and the lid 4 is larger in the upper portion of the outer box than the inner shape of the outer box. This has the following effects. That is, with the above configuration, the honeycomb member 1 is securely fixed in the outer box 2 via the holding member 3 at both end portions 11 and 12, so that impact and vibration are generated during transportation. However, the honeycomb member is hardly damaged. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 1 (b) and 2 (b), when the packaging body 10 is stacked in multiple stages, the lid 4 is larger than the inner shape of the outer box 2, so the packaging placed on the upper stage. Since the load of the body 10b is distributed to the outer box 2 and the honeycomb member 1 via the lid 4 of the lower packaging body 10a, the load applied to the honeycomb member placed on the lower stage is reduced, and transportation The honeycomb member is not easily damaged even by impact or vibration. Here, having the lid 4 larger than the inner shape of the outer box at the top of the outer box means that the outer shape of the lid 4 is the same as the inner shape of the outer box 2 as shown in FIG. When there is a fitting part 21 that is between the outer shapes and the lid 4 having a predetermined height is accommodated in the upper part of the outer box 2, or as shown in FIG.2 (a), the inner shape of the lid 4 is That is, the case is larger than the outer shape of the outer box 2.

前記外箱2は、輸送時の衝撃や振動に耐えることができ、繰り返し使用することが可能な材質であることが好ましく、鋼やアルミニウム合金等の金属、樹脂、ポリプロピレン樹脂、ポリエチレン樹脂、プラスチック、木材、ポリプロピレン樹脂製プラスチックダンボール等であることが好ましく、特に、図14に示すようにアルミニウム合金のフレーム22にポリプロピレン樹脂製のプラスチックダンボール23を組み付けた構成のものであると輸送時の強度が確保されるので好ましい。また、図3、図4に示すように、外箱2の下部に基台７を接合固定することで、輸送時の衝撃や振動の耐久性がより向上するので好ましい。外箱2の下部と基台７とは、ボルトやビス、接着、嵌合等で接合することができる。また、基台７は、輸送時の衝撃や振動に耐えることができ、繰り返し使用することが可能な材質であることが好ましく、鉄やアルミニウム合金等の金属、木材、樹脂、プラスチック等が好ましく、中でも、ポリプロピレン樹脂、ポリエチレン樹脂であることが好ましい。 The outer box 2 is preferably a material that can withstand impact and vibration during transportation and can be used repeatedly, such as metal such as steel and aluminum alloy, resin, polypropylene resin, polyethylene resin, plastic, Preference is given to wood and plastic resin cardboard made of polypropylene resin, etc. In particular, as shown in FIG. 14, a structure in which a plastic cardboard 23 made of polypropylene resin is assembled to an aluminum alloy frame 22 ensures strength during transportation. This is preferable. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, it is preferable to bond and fix the base 7 to the lower portion of the outer box 2 because the durability of impact and vibration during transportation is further improved. The lower portion of the outer box 2 and the base 7 can be joined by bolts, screws, adhesion, fitting, or the like. The base 7 is preferably made of a material that can withstand impact and vibration during transportation and can be used repeatedly, and is preferably a metal such as iron or aluminum alloy, wood, resin, plastic, etc. Among these, a polypropylene resin and a polyethylene resin are preferable.

また、前記蓋体4は、ハニカム部材の収納、取り出しのために、取り扱いが容易で、繰り返し使用が可能な軽量な材質であることが好ましく、プラスチック、樹脂等であることが好ましく、中でもポリプロピレン樹脂や、ポリプロピレン樹脂製のプラスチックダンボールであることが好ましい。 The lid 4 is preferably a lightweight material that is easy to handle and can be used repeatedly for storing and taking out the honeycomb member, and is preferably a plastic, a resin, etc. Or, it is preferably a plastic corrugated cardboard made of polypropylene resin.

また、前記保持部材3には、図11に示すように、ハニカム部材1の端部11、12の外形形状と略一致する形状を有する窪み部31を複数有することで、複数のハニカム部材を外箱内に収納し、効率よく輸送することができる。前記保持部材3の角部に切り欠き部35を1か所以上有していると、保持部材を外箱内に収納、もしくは取出す作業が容易になるので好ましい。保持部材の材質は、ハニカム部材への衝撃や振動を和らげ、繰り返し使用することが可能な材質であることが好ましく、発泡スチロール、軟質ウレタン、ポリウレタン、ウレタンフォーム、軟質ウレタンフォーム、プラスチック、ダンボール、スポンジ等が好ましく、なかでも、ハニカム部材への衝撃や振動を和らげる効果の大きい軟質ウレタンが好ましい。 Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the holding member 3 includes a plurality of hollow portions 31 having a shape substantially matching the outer shape of the end portions 11 and 12 of the honeycomb member 1, thereby removing the plurality of honeycomb members. It can be stored in a box and transported efficiently. It is preferable that the holding member 3 has one or more notches 35 at the corners because the holding member can be easily housed or taken out from the outer box. The material of the holding member is preferably a material that can be used repeatedly, relieving impact and vibration on the honeycomb member, such as polystyrene foam, flexible urethane, polyurethane, urethane foam, flexible urethane foam, plastic, cardboard, sponge, etc. Among them, soft urethane is preferable because it has a great effect of reducing the impact and vibration on the honeycomb member.

本発明のハニカム部材の梱包体において、前記蓋体の上面部に凸部を有し、かつ、前記外箱の下部に、前記外箱を前記蓋体に載置した際に、前記凸部と嵌合可能な凹部を有することが好ましいのは次の理由による。つまり、図5に示すように、蓋体4の上面部に凸部5を有し、かつ、外箱2の下部に、前記外箱2を前記蓋体4に載置した際に、前記凸部5と嵌合可能な凹部6を有することで、図6に示すように、梱包体10(10a、10b)を多段に積み重ねた場合、蓋体4の上面部に凸部5を有し、かつ、前記外箱2の下部に、外箱2を蓋体4の上に載置した際に、凸部5と嵌合可能な凹部6を有することで、下段の蓋体の上面部に形成された凸5が、上段に載置された梱包体の外箱の下部に形成された凹部6と嵌合するので、輸送する際に、衝撃や振動が生じても、上段に載置された梱包体がずれて倒壊し難く、ハニカム部材が破損し難くなるので好ましい。 In the honeycomb member packing body of the present invention, when the upper surface portion of the lid body has a convex portion, and the outer box is placed on the lid body at the lower portion of the outer box, the convex portion and The reason why it is preferable to have a recess that can be fitted is as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the convex portion 5 is provided on the upper surface portion of the lid body 4, and the convex portion 5 is placed when the outer box 2 is placed on the lid body 4 below the outer box 2. By having the recesses 6 that can be fitted with the parts 5, as shown in FIG. 6, when the packaging bodies 10 (10a, 10b) are stacked in multiple stages, the upper surface part of the lid body 4 has the protrusions 5, And, when the outer box 2 is placed on the lid body 4 at the lower part of the outer box 2, it has a concave part 6 that can be fitted with the convex part 5, thereby forming the upper part of the lower lid body. Since the raised protrusion 5 fits with the recessed portion 6 formed in the lower part of the outer box of the package placed on the upper stage, even if an impact or vibration occurs during transportation, it was placed on the upper stage. This is preferable because the packing body is displaced and hardly collapses and the honeycomb member is hardly damaged.

前記蓋体の上面部の凸部5は、蓋体4と一体に形成されても良く、また、蓋体とは別体で形成されても良い。蓋体と別体で形成される場合、凸部5は蓋体4に機械的に係止（ねじ、くぎ、ビス等）されても良く、接着されて形成されても良い。 The protrusion 5 on the upper surface of the lid may be formed integrally with the lid 4 or may be formed separately from the lid. In the case of being formed separately from the lid, the convex portion 5 may be mechanically locked (screw, nail, screw, etc.) to the lid 4 or may be formed by bonding.

前記外箱の下部の凹部6は、梱包体10を積み重ねた際に、下段の梱包体の凸部5がこの凹部6に嵌合する位置に配置されることが好ましい。この凹部6は、図5に示すように、外箱2の下部に形成されるが、図7に示すように、外箱2の下部に凹部6が形成されたパレット等の基台７をボルトやビス、接着、嵌合等で接合固定することでも形成することができる。基台７は、輸送時の衝撃や振動に耐えることができ、繰り返し使用することが可能な材質であることが好ましく、鋼やアルミニウム合金等の金属、木材、樹脂、プラスチック等が好ましく、中でも、ポリプロピレン樹脂、ポリエチレン樹脂であることが好ましい。 The recess 6 at the lower part of the outer box is preferably arranged at a position where the convex part 5 of the lower packaging body fits into the concave part 6 when the packaging body 10 is stacked. As shown in FIG. 5, the recess 6 is formed in the lower part of the outer box 2, but as shown in FIG. 7, a base 7 such as a pallet in which the recess 6 is formed in the lower part of the outer box 2 is bolted. It can also be formed by bonding and fixing with screws, bonding, fitting or the like. The base 7 is preferably a material that can withstand impacts and vibrations during transportation and can be used repeatedly, and is preferably a metal such as steel or aluminum alloy, wood, resin, plastic, etc. Polypropylene resin and polyethylene resin are preferable.

本発明のハニカム部材の梱包体において、前記凸部は、前記窪み部を前記窪み部の底面に垂直な方向に延長した箇所に位置しないように配置されていることが好ましいのは次の理由による。つまり、図9に示すように、前記凸部5が、前記窪み部31を前記窪み部の底面32に垂直な方向に延長した箇所に位置する場合、梱包体を多段に積み重ねる際に、蓋体4の上面部の凸部5に、上段の外箱2の下部、もしくは、基台7に形成された凹部6以外の箇所が当接し、その状態のまま輸送した場合、上段の梱包体の荷重が、凸部に集中して下段のハニカム部材に作用して、ハニカム部材が破損する恐れがある。しかし、図３に示すように、凸部5が保持部材3の窪み部の底面32に垂直な方向に延長した箇所に位置しなければ、凸部に集中した荷重は下段のハニカム部材に負荷されないので、ハニカム部材の破損を防ぐことができるので好ましい。ここで、凸部5が保持部材の窪み部の底面32に垂直な方向に延長した箇所に位置しない態様として、例えば、図7に示すように、凸部5や凹部6が梱包体の外周付近に位置していても良く、図10に示すように、凸部5や凹部6が梱包体の外周付近に位置していなくても良い。 In the honeycomb member packing body of the present invention, it is preferable that the convex portion is disposed so as not to be located at a location where the concave portion extends in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the concave portion. . That is, as shown in FIG. 9, when the convex portion 5 is located at a position where the hollow portion 31 extends in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface 32 of the hollow portion, the lid body is stacked when stacked in multiple stages. 4 When the lower part of the upper outer box 2 or a part other than the concave part 6 formed on the base 7 is in contact with the convex part 5 on the upper surface part 4 and transported in that state, the load on the upper packaging body However, there is a possibility that the honeycomb member may be damaged by concentrating on the convex portion and acting on the lower honeycomb member. However, as shown in FIG. 3, if the convex portion 5 is not located at a location extending in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface 32 of the hollow portion of the holding member 3, the load concentrated on the convex portion is not applied to the lower honeycomb member. Therefore, it is preferable because breakage of the honeycomb member can be prevented. Here, as an aspect in which the convex portion 5 is not located at a location extending in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface 32 of the hollow portion of the holding member, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the convex portion 5 or the concave portion 6 is near the outer periphery of the package body. As shown in FIG. 10, the convex part 5 and the concave part 6 do not have to be located near the outer periphery of the package.
