Description

The present invention relates to containers used for storing and transporting crops, and in particular, folds for harvesting, drying and transporting crops, which are easily foldable and effective during harvesting and / or shipping and sorting operations. Regarding containers.

Harvested agricultural products are often wet with rain, dew, etc. If the crops are stored in a container and stored in a storage warehouse in a wet or damp state, the agricultural products may be damaged due to the growth of mold, the growth of microorganisms and bacteria, and the like. In addition, the quality of the harvested agricultural products may deteriorate due to further putrefaction of the damaged agricultural products. As a result, the value of agricultural products as commodities may decrease.

Therefore, in order to efficiently transport and dry the crops harvested in the field, iron containers for agriculture have been developed. However, in order to improve the efficiency of transporting and drying such agricultural products, increasing the size of the iron container causes a decrease in the drying efficiency, which tends to cause uneven drying. In order to solve such a problem, a shielding plate is provided on the side panel as described in Patent Document 1, the position of the hinge is improved, and a plurality of containers are arranged as close as possible during the drying operation. , An iron container with high efficiency has been developed (Patent Document 1).

There is a bottom plate 13 on the gantry 2, and the front panel 8, the rear panel 10, and the side panel 11 are fixed upright on the gantry 2. The front panel 8 and the rear panel 10 are configured to stand upright on the gantry 2 by the left and right side panel 11s and the connecting mechanisms 14A, 14B and 14C. The connecting mechanism 14 is arranged at each corner formed by the front panel 8 or the rear panel 11 and the side panel 11 at right angles, that is, at the four corners of the gantry. In this embodiment, 14A and 14B are provided on the front panel 8 and the side panel 11, and 14C is provided on the columns 5 and the front panel 8 or the rear panel 10 arranged at the four corners of the gantry 2. As will be described later, the coupling mechanism 14 can be independently locked and released. When released, the front panel 8 or the rear panel 10 is released from the upright state on the gantry 2. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, these connecting mechanisms 14A, 14B, and 14C are in a locked state, respectively.

In this embodiment, the front panel 8 and the rear panel 10 are divided into an upper panel portion and a lower panel portion, respectively, and these are connected by a hinge 70. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, both panel portions are connected by hinges of a plurality of coaxially provided locations between the upper panel portion and the lower panel portion, and four locations in FIG. 1. Then, in FIG. 1, when the coupling mechanism 14A and other coupling mechanisms corresponding thereto are released, the upper panel portion rotates around the axis of each hinge and falls outward as shown in FIG. In addition, in this specification, "corresponding" means the other three connecting mechanisms located horizontally with respect to 14A, 14B, or 14C. In the state of FIG. 2, it becomes easy for the worker to produce crops. Further, when the connecting mechanism 14C and the corresponding connecting mechanism are released, the lower panel also rotates around the axis of the hinge and jumps up from the outside as shown in FIG. If the lower panel portion is fixed in this state as described in detail below, it becomes easier to produce crops from the lower side of the container. In this embodiment, the front panel 8 and the rear panel 10 are divided into two parts, but the front panel 8 and the rear panel 10 may be divided into more parts in consideration of the shape of the crop to be stored, the work content, and the like.

Next, in the aspect of FIG. 2, the aspect in which the upper panel portions of the front and rear panels (8, 10) of the folding container for agricultural products of the present invention are tilted outward will be described in more detail.

Can be done. In this embodiment, the arm portion 141 can be fastened by the arm stopper 148A.

Next, in the aspect of FIG. 3, a state in which the lower panel portions on the front surface and the rear surface of the folding container for agricultural products of the present invention are raised is shown. When the coupling mechanism 14C in FIG. 1, that is, the coupling mechanism arranged at the bottom of the support column 5 among the coupling mechanisms 14A, 14B, and 14C and the other coupling mechanism corresponding thereto is released, the lower portion is fixed by the hinge 70. The panel portion rises toward the upper panel by rotating around the hinge axis, and the rotated lower panel portion can be fixed in a state of being overlapped with the upper panel portion by the locking mechanism 90 described later. Such a state in which the lower panel portion is raised is suitable for work such as manually scraping out agricultural products.

Next, with reference to FIG. 4, a folding container for agricultural products according to the present invention, in which the front panel 8 is removed, will be described. By releasing the connecting mechanism of 14A, 14B, 14C in FIG. 1 and the corresponding front panel 8, the front panel can be separated from the gantry. Similarly, the rear panel can be removed. As a result, the folding container for agricultural products according to the present invention is suitable for work such as scraping agricultural products from either the front panel side or the rear panel side.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, a connecting mechanism for connecting the front panel 8 or the rear panel 10 and the side panel 11 of the folding container for agricultural products of the present invention will be described. In FIG. 5, the arm portion includes a hook portion 141A. The hook 141A of the arm portion 141 rotatably provided on the side panel around the axis is configured to fit into the connecting holes 142 provided in the front panel and the rear panel, respectively. Then, the operator can release the fitted state and refit it by such a simple operation of operating the arm. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a released state. Further, FIGS. 7 to 14 show other embodiments of such a connecting mechanism. In this embodiment, the communication shaft 144 penetrating the communication hole on the side panel side and the communication shaft thereof are slid inside the frame 147 provided on the front panel 8 and the rear panel 10 to form the communication shaft. A handle 145 for fitting the communication hole is provided. Then, the operator can release the fitted state or refit it by such a simple operation of operating the handle. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the connecting arm 141 is fitted with the connecting hole 143 in the above embodiment. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the arm portion 141 is raised and the fitting is released. FIG. 7 shows a state in which the communication shaft 144 penetrates the communication hole 143 provided on the side panel side via the support column 5 and the handle 145 is raised in the other embodiment. In this embodiment, a stopper 146 is further provided, and the stopper 146 fixes the hook portion 148B of the tip of the communication shaft 144, that is, the tip opposite to the tip fitted in the communication hole 142. The stopper 146 is provided on the frame 147 of the communication mechanism so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. Then, by sliding upward, the lock between the hook portion of the communication shaft 144 and the stopper 146 can be released. When the lock is released in this way, the handle 145 is released as shown in FIG. 8, and the handle 145 can be tilted forward as shown in FIG. By operating the handle 145 as it is, the communication shaft 144 can be pulled out from the communication hole 143 by sliding the communication shaft in the horizontal plane (FIG. 10).
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the connecting mechanism provided in the upper part and the central part in the vertical direction is based on one embodiment, while the connecting mechanism provided in the lower part is based on another embodiment. It is a thing.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12, another aspect of the connecting mechanism according to the other embodiment of the folding container for agricultural products of the present invention will be described. A magnet 149 is installed between the frame 147 of the communication mechanism and the hook 148 of the communication shaft 144. In this case, the hook portion 148 preferably has a flat portion facing the magnet (FIG. 13). In this embodiment, since the communication shaft 144 is fixed by the magnetic force, it is not necessary to slide the slide stopper by hand, and the fitting / releasing between the connecting shaft 144 and the connecting hole 143 can be performed more easily. .. The magnet 149 can be firmly fixed to the communication frame 147 by providing a cover (149B) on the magnet body 149A and mounting the magnet 149 (FIG. 14).

Next, with reference to FIG. 15, a mode in which the folding container for agricultural products according to the present invention is assembled and stacked will be described. Efficient use of space is desired in the transportation, drying process, and storage of agricultural products. However, if the containers are left stacked for storage or the like in the assembled state, especially with the agricultural products inside, there is a concern that the containers may be displaced due to lateral slippage. Such inconvenience can be eliminated by a fixing method from the outside, but in the present invention, by adopting a simple configuration as an alternative to such means, the folding container for agricultural products is made excellent. There is.

In FIG. 15, a misalignment prevention mechanism during assembly is provided at the upper end of the side panel 11. Specifically, a locking small piece 50 of about several centimeters is provided on the upper portion of the side panel 11 in the long side direction. The corresponding pedestal 2 of the container to be stacked is provided with a hole or the like for fitting with the locking piece 50 (the hole in FIG. 16 is not shown). Alternatively, it is also possible to configure the member under the gantry with a width that complements the width of the locking piece 50 with respect to the width of the upper part of the side panel 11 and fix the locking piece 50 on the side panel (. 17, FIG. 18 and FIG. 19).

Next, with reference to FIG. 20, a state in which a plurality of folding containers for agricultural products of the present invention are arranged in the front-rear direction and two in the illustrated example will be described. Containers containing agricultural products are arranged in the front-back direction and further in the left-right direction as shown in this figure, and are used in the drying process. The smaller the gap between the containers, the better the drying efficiency. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 21, in the folding container for agricultural products of the present invention, it is conceivable to shift the position of the hinge metal fitting portion 700 including the hinge 70 in the vertical direction between the containers. Depending on the specifications of the upper panel portion or the lower panel portion of the front panel 8 or the rear panel 10, the position of the hinge 70 in the vertical direction cannot be arbitrarily set, and the hinge may interfere with the parts. In that case, it is conceivable to shift the position of the hinge of each container in the horizontal direction. As a result, it is possible to suppress the interference of the hinge parts as much as possible and maintain high drying efficiency.

Next, with reference to FIG. 22, a mode in which the folding container for agricultural products of the present invention is stacked in a folded state will be described. Even when the containers according to the present invention are stacked in the folded state, there is a concern that lateral displacement may occur. In the present invention, locking pins 80 for fixing are provided at the four corners of the folded container, that is, upward from the support column 5. In the corresponding gantry 2, a mechanism for fixing such a locking pin is configured. As one embodiment, FIG. 23 shows a locking pin hole 81 into which the locking pin 80 is inserted.

Next, as described above, the container according to the present invention can be stacked more than the conventional container in a stable state as described above (FIG. 24). This also contributes to the safety of transportation of the container itself and the safety of workers at the storage location. By releasing the 14A, 14B, 14C and the corresponding front panel and rear panel connecting mechanisms in FIG. 1, the front panel 8 and the rear panel 10 can be separated from the gantry 2. Then, these can be superposed on the bottom plate 13. Further, by connecting the lower side of the side panel 11 to the gantry 2, the side panels are further tilted so as to be superimposed on the previously tilted front panel and the rear panel, so that each panel is laminated and fixed. Can be folded and stacked containers. By stacking them in this way, transportation and storage can be performed efficiently. According to the present invention, 124-150 units can be stably loaded in a marine container and 20 stages can be stably loaded in a warehouse.

Next, referring to FIG. 25, when the lower panel portion of the front panel 8 or the rear panel 10 of the folding container for agricultural products of the present invention is rotated upward, it is in a state of being overlapped with the upper panel portion. A locking mechanism for fixing will be described. When the lower panel portion is lifted from the lower side, the lower panel portion can be fixed by the locking mechanism 90 attached to the side surface of the upper panel portion. The locking mechanism 90 includes a hook 91 that can rotate around a rotation shaft 91A installed on the side surface side of the upper panel portion, and a protrusion 91B provided on the side surface side of the lower panel portion. Then, by locking the hook 91 to the protrusion 91B, the upper panel portion and the lower panel portion are fixed in an overlapping state (FIG. 26). As a result, the lower panel portion can be easily fixed by human hands, and the agricultural products in the container can be safely taken out. The hook 91 may be provided on the side surface side of the lower panel portion.

Next, with reference to FIG. 27, another aspect of the folding container for agricultural products of the present invention is shown. By forming the front panel 8, the rear panel 10, and the side panel 11 into a mesh structure as shown in this figure, weight reduction can be achieved. Further, by making the bottom plate 13 a corrugated plate, it is possible to further reduce the weight and protect the agricultural products. It should be noted that the structure using a mesh does not have to be made for all panels, and is determined in consideration of the request for weight reduction and the contents of the crops to be stored.

Next, with reference to FIG. 28, the mechanism for connecting the front or rear panel and the side panel in this embodiment is shown. For example, the connecting mechanism 14 may be able to be locked by a magnet (FIG. 29). In this embodiment, the front or rear panel in the front of the figure can be folded in four stages by hinges, coils, or the like.

Next, with reference to FIG. 30, the locking structure of the side panel of this embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, the locking piece 61 is provided outside the U-leg 60 and the U-leg receiving 62 so that the side panel 11 can be held in an inclined state at a constant angle. If the locking piece 61 is inserted on the side panel side of the U leg, it can be held upright. The presence of the S-leg 63 (FIG. 30) makes it possible to stably fix the U-leg and to stably stack the folded container while securing a gap when the U-leg has been stepped. Specifically, the downward S-leg of 63 can lock 62 when the container according to the present embodiment is folded, so that it can be stably stacked.
