Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a motorcycle container, and more specifically, a motorcycle in a completed state.
The present invention relates to a motorcycle container that can be accommodated one by one.

<Problems to be solved by the conventional technology and the invention> Conventionally, when transporting a motorcycle, a 20-foot container, a 40-foot container, etc. conforming to ISO standards, etc., are used in one large container. It has become common to greatly reduce the risk of damage by accommodating a large number of motorcycles.

By the way, when a motorcycle is housed in a large container, a packing rack configured by appropriately framing wood has been used in order to prevent contact, overturning, etc. for each motorcycle. In addition to the fact that it is necessary to apply a large number of lashings for positioning and fixing to the packing rack, the motorcycle is a two-wheeled vehicle, and the stability is very poor as it is, Since it is bulky, the two wheels, handlebars, brake system, etc. of the motorcycle once completed on the production line are removed, and the removed various parts are packed separately, and housed in the packing rack together with the motorcycle body, Because it is fixed, it takes time from the completion of the motorcycle to packaging. Great deal of personnel in order to carry out the packing, and there is a problem that it requires the space.
Furthermore, since the parts of the completed motorcycle are once removed and packed, the assembly work must be performed again at the transport destination, and it is necessary to carry out duplication of work that would otherwise be unnecessary. In addition to being uneconomical, when assembling at the destination, insufficient bolt tightening, forgetting to tighten bolts, and poor brake adjustment may result. However, there is a problem that defective products are provided to the user.

In order to solve such a problem, the present inventor has
There has been proposed a motorcycle packing rack that can be accommodated without removing any part of the completed motorcycle (see Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-6790).

Describing this motorcycle packing rack,
Four pillars are erected at predetermined positions on the periphery of a wooden lower frame member provided with a belt for supporting front wheels and a belt for supporting rear wheels,
The upper parts of the column members are connected to each other by connecting rods, and the column members are connected in an X-shape by lashing to ensure sufficient strength of the column members.
One motorcycle is housed in the packing rack configured as described above, and lashing is performed with a minimum required.

Therefore, the time, personnel and space required for packing the motorcycle can be greatly reduced, and at the transportation destination, it is only necessary to remove the motorcycle from the packing rack, and it is inspected on the production line and the initial performance is reduced. It is possible to provide the user only with the guaranteed motor cycle having the above.

However, the transportation of the motorcycle is usually one-way transportation, and as the above-mentioned packing rack, only the original function is exhibited in a state where the motorcycle is housed,
If the packing racks are to be collected at the destination, only the extremely bulky packing racks must be transported in the opposite direction, and there is a problem that the space utilization efficiency during transportation is significantly reduced. Further, in order to solve such a problem, it is conceivable to disassemble the packaging rack once assembled to make only the rod-shaped body and the lashing member, thereby performing the reverse transportation while reducing the bulk. However, even if it is relatively easy to disassemble the wooden packing rack, when reassembling, the wood itself is distorted due to the influence of temperature, humidity, etc., or
It is very difficult for an assembler to be assemble or to assemble the initial shape accurately, and if the shape is uneven, there is a problem that the motorcycle cannot be stably accommodated. . Another problem is that the time and space required for reassembling are increased. Furthermore, since the packing rack is mainly made of wood, when transporting for a long time in the state of being housed in a sealed large container, the moisture contained in the wood is released and the sweat damper is released. This may cause rust in various parts of the motorcycle as it is, so that there is a problem that it is necessary to store a large amount of desiccant in a large container.

<Object of the Invention> The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to stably and individually store the motorcycles one by one in a completed state, and to easily disassemble and assemble the motorcycles. And reliably,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a motorcycle container that can be reduced in bulk in a disassembled state.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, a motorcycle container according to the present invention includes a front wheel holding portion, a rear wheel holding portion for supporting a front wheel, a rear wheel, and an engine portion of a motorcycle. And a lower frame member having an engine portion holding portion, and having a forklift insertion portion in a state exposed to the outside, and a reinforcing frame provided integrally around a plate material, and at a lower end portion. A front frame member, a rear frame member, and a pair of side frame members detachably connected to the lower frame member, and a reinforcing frame integrally provided around a plate material whose central portion is bulged upward. In addition, an upper frame member removably connected to the front frame member, the rear frame member, and the side frame member at the peripheral portion.

However, the front wheel holding portion holds the front wheel at substantially the same height as the rear wheel, and a portion corresponding to the rear wheel side of the motorcycle in the central portion of the upper frame member is substantially equal to the reinforcing frame. It may be formed at a height and the remaining bulging height may be increased, or the front wheel holding portion holds the front wheel at a lower height than the rear wheel, and A portion of the center portion of the member corresponding to the rear wheel side of the motorcycle may be formed at a height substantially equal to that of the reinforcing frame, and the remaining bulging height may be reduced.

Further, it is preferable that the rear wheel holding portion is mounted on the lower frame member so as to be position-adjustable.

Further, it is preferable that the upper bulging portion of the upper frame member has a shape that can be engaged with a lower frame member of another motorcycle container, and a forklift insertion portion of another motorcycle container is provided at a predetermined position. It is even more preferred to have a coupling recess.

Further, it is preferable that the plate material constituting each of the frame members is a corrugated shape, and each of the frame members may be removably connected by bolts or removably connected by tapping screws. Alternatively, they may be detachably connected by wedges.

<Operation> With the motorcycle container having the above-described configuration, the front frame member, the rear frame member, and the pair of side frame members are connected to the lower frame member, and the front frame member and the rear frame member are further connected. By connecting the upper frame member to the upper portions of the pair of side frame members, the motorcycle housing space in a completed state can be formed. Therefore, in the motorcycle housing space, the motorcycle can be stably held by the front wheel holding section, the rear wheel holding section, and the engine section holding section. By inserting the forklift pawl into the forklift insertion portion, the motorcycle container accommodating the motorcycle can be transported to the inside of the large container or to the motorcycle container base. A heavy state can easily appear.

In addition, when taking out the transported motorcycle, the above-mentioned frame members may be removed from each other, and the motorcycle housed therein can be easily taken out,
By making the taken-out frame members pile up with each other, it is possible to greatly reduce the bulk.

However, the front wheel holding portion holds the front wheel at substantially the same height as the rear wheel, and a portion corresponding to the rear wheel side of the motorcycle in the central portion of the upper frame member is substantially equal to the reinforcing frame. If it is formed at the height and the remaining bulging height is increased, the front wheel does not protrude below the lower frame member. Can be kept. Conversely, the front wheel holding portion holds the front wheel at a lower height than the rear wheel, and a portion of the center portion of the upper frame member corresponding to the rear wheel side of the motorcycle is substantially equal to the reinforcing frame. It is formed at the height, and when the remaining bulging height is reduced, the front wheel is projected below the lower frame member, so the front wheel is allowed to project downward, for example, By installing on the motorcycle container of the embodiment, the height from the lower frame member to the upper frame member can be reduced, and by reducing the overall height in the stacked state, This has the advantage that a stacked state inside a large container can be tolerated.

Further, when the rear wheel holding portion is mounted on the lower frame member so as to be position-adjustable, by adjusting the position of the rear wheel holding portion even if the type of the motorcycle is slightly different, A stable storage state inside the container can be reliably achieved.

Further, when the upper bulging portion of the upper frame member has a shape capable of engaging with the lower frame member of another motorcycle container, the overall height of the motorcycle container in a stacked state is reduced. In the case where there is a recess at a predetermined position for engaging with a forklift insertion portion of another motorcycle container, displacement in a stacked state can be prevented, and a reliable stacking can be achieved. A secure state can be achieved.

Furthermore, when the plate material constituting each of the frame members is in a corrogate shape, the mechanical strength of each of the frame members can be further increased, and thus the mechanical strength of the entire motorcycle container also increases. Can be enhanced.

And even if each frame member is detachably connected by a bolt, or even if it is detachably connected by a tapping screw, or it is detachable by a wedge. Even when they are connected, the same operation as described above can be achieved, and assembly and disassembly can be easily performed.

a) is formed.

The accommodation of the motorcycle in the motorcycle container having the above configuration and the assembly of the motorcycle container are performed as shown in FIG.

First, as shown in FIG. 2A, the motorcycle (7) is positioned with respect to the lower frame member (1). In particular,
The front wheel (71) of the motorcycle (7) is supported on the belt (15a), and the front wheel (71) is held by the rod (15b) in a sandwiching state.
By supporting the rear wheel (72) with the rod (15d) and holding the engine (73) of the motorcycle (7) on the support (14a). The positioning of the motorcycle (7) with respect to the lower frame member (1) can be performed. In this case, the holding state of the motorcycle (7) is such that the rear wheel (72) is held parallel to the container length direction and the front wheel (71) is bent in any direction. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2B, the front wheel (71) is inclined by about 4 degrees toward the bent side, and the entire protruding state of the steering wheel, the muffler, the direction indicator, etc., as shown in FIG. Cover and minimum length,
A state in which only the space of the width and the height is occupied can be set. Of course, a minimum lashing may be applied if necessary.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 2C, the front frame member (2),
The lower frames (22a), (32a) and (42a) of the rear frame member (3) and the pair of side frame members (4) are engaged with the upper edge of the rectangular frame (11), and the front frame member ( 2) and by engaging the groove (22b) of the rear frame member (3) with the engaging ridge (42b) of the side frame member (4), the accurate relative position with respect to the lower frame member (1) can be determined. Set. Then, a bolt insertion hole (11a) and a bolt insertion hole (22c) (32
c) By screwing the bolt (6) into (42c), a physically strong connection state can be ensured.

Finally, as shown in FIG. 2D, the upper frames (22a), (32a), and (42a) of the front frame member (2), the rear frame member (3), and the pair of side frame members (4). , Upper frame member (5) reinforcement frame (5
1) is engaged and the holes for bolt insertion (22c) (32c) (42
c) and by screwing the bolt (6) into the bolt insertion hole (51a), the upper part can be closed and a physically strong connection state can be ensured.

Therefore, in this state, the forklift claw (8) is inserted into the forklift insertion portion (15) as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Cycle containers can be transported.

When the motorcycle (7) is to be taken out, the operation reverse to the above-mentioned operation may be performed, and the motorcycle (7) transported in a state completely protected from the external environment and the like is taken out, and the motorcycle (7) is taken out. Since the disassembly of the frame members constituting the container for use can be achieved at the same time, by stacking the frame members after disassembly, it is possible to significantly reduce the volume (see FIG. 3). Therefore, compared to the state in which the motorcycle (7) is housed, the bulk in the state where the frame members are stacked can be reduced, and a large amount of container frame members can be transported in a small transport space. Furthermore, even when reassembling,
The relative positional relationship between the frame members can be easily and reliably set, and the workability of disassembly and assembly can be significantly improved.

Further, the motorcycle container having the above configuration is
It is not necessary to obtain mechanical strength for holding the motorcycle (7) only by the lower frame member (1), and the front frame member (2), the rear frame member (3), and the pair of side frame members (4) , And the overall mechanical strength in the framework state of the upper frame member (5) and the motorcycle (7) may be maintained, so that the strength required for each frame member need not be increased so much. Thus, the weight of the motorcycle container as a whole can be reduced.

FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing another embodiment of the motorcycle container. The difference from the embodiment of FIG. 1 is that a belt (7) for supporting the front wheel (71) of the motorcycle (7) is used. As 15a), use a belt longer than the belt (15c) for supporting the rear wheel (72), and use the front wheel (71)
Is supported at a position lower than the rear wheel (72),
And the shape of the upper plate (52) constituting the upper frame member (5)
Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the handle is prevented from protruding upward, and the front wheel (71) is used instead. ) Can be considerably depressed, and the other points are the same in the configuration, the assembling method, and the disassembly method. Simple and reliable accommodation of the motorcycle (7), In addition, it is possible to achieve a low-bulk stacking state of each frame member after taking out the motorcycle.

FIG. 6 shows the motorcycle container of FIG. 1 and FIG.
FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a state in which the motorcycle containers are alternately stacked, FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view (however, FIG. A is a transparent side view, FIG. B is a transparent rear view, and FIG. C is a transparent view). Front view)
The motorcycle container shown in FIG. 1 is the lower stage, and the motorcycle container shown in FIG. 4 is the upper stage, and the required number of stages are stacked in this order. However, the stacking directions of both motorcycle containers are set opposite to each other.

Therefore, the height as a whole can be significantly reduced as compared with the case where only the motorcycle container having the configuration shown in FIG. 1 is stacked, and the motor can be accommodated inside a large container such as the ISO standard. By increasing the number of cycle containers, space utilization efficiency can be significantly improved.

More specifically, when the motorcycle (7) is housed in the motorcycle container shown in FIG. 1, the front wheel (71) and the rear wheel (72) are held at the same height. Therefore, the height on the side where the handle exists, that is, on the front wheel (71) side is significantly lower than the height on the rear wheel (72) side. A large step is formed on the upper plate (52) of the upper frame member (5) corresponding to the difference in height as described above. On the other hand, when the motorcycle (7) of the motorcycle container having the structure shown in FIG. 4 is housed, the front wheel (71) is held at a height lower than the rear wheel (72) by the height corresponding to the step. Therefore, the side of the front wheel (71) having a higher overall height is connected to the rear wheel (7) of the motorcycle (7) housed in the other motorcycle container.
The state of 2), that is, the state where the entire height is stacked on the lower side, and the total height in the state of being stacked in two stages is the same as the case where the motorcycle (7) is stacked in two stages in the same direction. It can be lower in comparison.

More specifically, by stacking as described above, it can be accommodated in the internal space of an ISO standard 20-foot container, 40-foot container, etc., thereby significantly improving the space utilization efficiency in container transportation. In addition to the fact that the entire motorcycle container is made of metal, even when transporting containers for a long period of time, it is possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of sweat dummer and transport the motorcycle to the destination without deteriorating the state of the motorcycle. can do.

The positioning of the lower motorcycle container and the upper motorcycle container is performed by positioning the rectangular frame (11) of the lower frame member (1) and the upper plate (52) of the upper frame member (5).
Is automatically secured by the engagement of the forklift insertion portion (15) and the recess (52a) of the upper frame member (5) while engaging with the bulging portion of the forklift. The stacked state can be reliably achieved without using any members. Furthermore, when storing in a warehouse, etc., 2
Stacking of more than one step can be performed.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, instead of forming the recess (52a) in the upper frame member (5), the corner of the lower frame member (1) and the upper frame It is possible to provide recesses and protrusions that engage with each other at the corners of the member (5), and it is possible to use tapping screws, wedges, and tapping bolts instead of the bolts (6). Furthermore, by allowing the fixing position of the belt (15c) to be changed with respect to the rod (15d), even if the type of the motor cycle (7) changes, a secure accommodation state is ensured. Various design changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, the present invention can accommodate a motorcycle in a low bulk state in a completed state, and can stack the motorcycle in a low volume, greatly reducing the labor for packing the motorcycle. In addition to being able to reduce the number of vehicles, it is possible to ensure the protection during transportation, and to improve the space utilization efficiency in the case of reverse transportation of containers alone, and to reduce the repeated use of motorcycle containers. In this case, a special effect is obtained in that it can be easily performed.
