Description

  The present invention relates to a gantry unit, an assembling gantry, and an assembling gantry with a pedestal. More specifically, the present invention relates to a gantry unit that can be assembled in a free configuration, and can additionally be provided with a structural member for placing, accommodating, or locking any article, and such a gantry. Using the unit, an assembly frame assembled in an optimal space configuration that matches the space design on the laboratory bench and any other location, and a pedestal structure with various functions and applications are integrated with the assembly frame. It is related with the assembly stand with a pedestal constructed in general.

  For example, a variety of laboratory instruments, laboratory equipment, measuring equipment, reagent containers, plumbing equipment, electrical wiring equipment and equipment, etc. are located on laboratories and laboratories in various technical fields. It is required to install the equipment in the optimal spatial position considering the safety and convenience of use.

  For this reason, various types of mounts, shelves, rack devices, and the like are conventionally provided on the experimental bench. FIG. 1 is a photograph showing an example of an existing typical experimental bench.

  Patent Document 1 below is a storage shelf in which a top plate and a shelf plate are attached so that the height position can be changed between the front, rear, left and right columns, and the front of the space on the shelf plate is closed to form a cabinet-shaped storage space. And an experimental bench provided with the same.

  The following Patent Document 2 discloses that the experimental equipment placed on the upper surface of the shelf member on the experimental table can be restrained by a belt, and the liquid overflowed from the liquid chromatograph analyzer in the event of an earthquake or the like Disclosed is a laboratory equipment mounting shelf apparatus provided with a leaked liquid treatment apparatus for protecting experimental equipment.

  The following Patent Document 3 can be used as a leg frame for an experimental table, a work table similar to it, a display table, etc., and a frame by simply and firmly connecting leg members, lateral members, and side plates each having a predetermined configuration.

Furthermore, the configuration of the internal space formed in the shelf device is also defined in advance.

  However, actual laboratories and laboratories have their own space layout circumstances based on the size of the room and the arrangement of fixed structures. For this reason, it is difficult to use shelves and racks whose overall spatial form and size are uniformly determined in advance. Also, the configuration of rack space is different because the types, dimensions, space layout requirements, etc. of the experimental instruments, experimental devices, and measuring devices used are completely different depending on the technical field related to the research purpose of the laboratory. It is difficult to use shelves or racks that are pre-defined.

  Furthermore, in the laboratory or laboratory field, it is convenient to install a pedestal structure consisting of pipes or bars vertically and horizontally so that it can have various functions and uses. is there. Moreover, it is extremely convenient if the pedestal structure is formed integrally with the shelf device. However, in the conventional storage shelves and the like including those disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3, such a shelf-equipped shelf device has not been proposed.

  Next, modes for carrying out the present invention (the first to ninth inventions) will be described including the best mode.

[Base unit]
The gantry unit according to the present invention is a polygonal cylindrical structure made of a hard material and having a certain depth width in the axial direction. The type of “hard material” is not limited. For example, steel or hard plastic can be used. However, considering lightness, chemical resistance, heat resistance, etc. Processed) is preferred.

  The size of the gantry unit is not limited, but the depth width is preferably, for example, about 10 cm to 50 cm, and the length (circumferential length) of the flat plate portion constituting each side of the polygon is preferably, for example, about 20 cm to 50 cm. . What is necessary is just to set the thickness of the wall part which comprises the cylindrical structure of a mount unit freely according to an intensity | strength design etc.

  The “polygon” in the cylindrical structure of the gantry unit may be a triangle, a quadrangle (square), or more, for example, a hexagon. In general, these polygons are preferably regular polygons, but if necessary, an irregular polygonal cylindrical gantry unit can be used. A particularly preferred gantry unit is a square cylindrical gantry unit 1 as illustrated in FIG. 2 (for the sake of convenience, the thickness of the wall portion of the cylindrical structure is ignored). Apart from this, there are cases where a rectangular cylindrical gantry unit having an arbitrary aspect ratio can be used.

  The flat plate portion constituting each side of the polygonal cylindrical gantry unit is configured so that it can be assembled or connected to another gantry unit as described above in the flat plate portion constituting all or part of the side. . In the gantry unit 1 shown in the upper part of FIG. 2, an example of forming the connection hole 2 as the connection means is illustrated. In the other gantry unit 1 in FIG. 2, the connection hole 2 is not shown. Moreover, illustration of the connection hole 2 may be omitted also in each figure after FIG. Such a connecting hole may be a simple through hole for connecting with a rivet, a pin or the like, or may be a screw hole for connecting with a screw. The connection hole is mainly used for mutual connection of the gantry unit, but it can also be used to connect the gantry unit (a gantry unit constituting a part of the assembly gantry described later) to the ceiling, side wall, column, etc. in the room. it can. Instead of the connection hole, as described above, each of the concave groove and the convex shape that can be fitted with the gantry unit may be formed on the joint surface of the adjacent gantry unit, and such a connecting means is formed. Alternatively, the above-described existing appropriate coupler can be used. Further, the gantry units can be simply assembled without being particularly connected.

  When the connection holes are used for the interconnection of the gantry units, as shown in FIG. 2, the gantry units adjacent in the left-right direction and the vertical direction pass through fasteners such as pins and screws through the linking holes, Can be linked directly. The gantry units adjacent to each other in the depth direction (the axial direction of the cylindrical gantry unit) can be connected by, for example, providing a stay metal fitting provided in a suitable part with a connecting hole for connection with the gantry unit in the depth direction. It is also possible to connect via a ring body or a plate-like body provided with flanges that can be fitted to the opening of the cylindrical gantry unit on both the front and back surfaces.

  Each corner of the polygonal gantry unit may be linearly bent, but it is particularly preferable to bend it into a circular arc (having a so-called “R”). The direct merit of having a round is to improve the workability and strength of the gantry unit as a polygonal cylindrical structure. However, as described later, a gap can be formed between the assembled gantry units. There is also an advantage that a pipe or the like can be passed through, wiring or piping can be performed.
