Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 This invention reduces the quality of bagged rice (rice), barley, grain and other crops such as seeds, and powdered and granular fertilizers (these are collectively referred to as “granules” in this specification). It relates to a container for safe transportation and storage without any damage.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, agricultural crops such as raw paddy are generally packed in air-permeable cloth bags (large bags accommodating about 1 to 2 tons) made of hemp, cotton, chemical fiber, etc., transported, and stored. Often. This is because there are advantages such as being able to handle a fixed amount as one unit, preventing the quality of the stored items from being reduced due to the air permeability of the bags, and being able to store empty bags in a folded state.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned bag filling method has the following problems. That is, since the bag itself is flexible, even if paddy or the like is packed therein, its shape is not necessarily constant. Therefore, it is difficult to use a forklift for moving and transporting, and usually a special transporter lifts and transports a string for closing the mouth of the bag. In addition, when storing in a warehouse or the like, bags are often stacked in three or four tiers in order to make effective use of the space in the warehouse, but the stacking is unstable and there is a risk of collapse. Further, when a large number of bags are stacked in the vertical direction, the lower bags become heavy and lose air permeability, and the quality of the granular materials therein, especially agricultural products such as paddy, is impaired.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems when moving, transporting, and storing a bag packed with granular materials as it is. Specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide a container for storing and transporting bags packed with granular materials and for safely storing the granular materials in the bags without deteriorating the quality of the bags. .

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The gist of the present invention resides in a bagged granular container having the following features.

[0006] A rectangular (cubic) or rectangular parallelepiped structure in which the four circumferences are composed of grid-like panels and the upper part (ceiling) is open.

[0007] The floor is a cage structure made of a shaped steel. It is desirable that the section steel that composes the pen is a hat-shaped section steel.

The lower part of the floor has a structure in which at least a forklift claw can be inserted between the ground and the floor when the container is grounded.

[0009] The panel and the floor are individually manufactured and can be assembled and dismantled freely.

[0010]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the container of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing preferred embodiments of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the container of the present invention. As shown, this container comprises four panels 1 to 3 and a floor 4. Here, for convenience, 1 of the four panels is referred to as a front panel, 2 is referred to as a rear panel, and 3 is referred to as a side panel. Each of these panels has a lattice structure consisting of vertical and horizontal bars made of steel. This is to ensure the air permeability of the packed granular material.

In order to increase the strength of the container, the vertical bars of the front panel 1 and the rear panel 2 are made of a wide steel material (a wide hat-shaped steel having a cross section shown in FIG. 2D) as shown in the figure. It is desirable to do.

FIG. 2A is a front view of the front panel 1 (a view as viewed from the outside front, but partially cut away). FIG. 3B is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 3A, and FIG. 3C is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG.

As shown in the figure, the panel 1 has a vertical beam 2-4 and a horizontal beam 2-4 in a frame composed of left and right columns 2-1 and an upper beam 2-2 and a lower beam 2-3. 5 is a lattice structure. These pillars and bars may be made of any steel material such as shaped steel, steel plate, and molded products.However, in order to ensure the strength of the container, especially the vertical bar 2-4 shows an enlarged cross section in (d). It is desirable to use such a wide hat-shaped steel material. In addition, 2-8 is a reinforcing plate (gusset) to prevent distortion of the container.

A pin receiver 2-6 is provided at an upper corner of the front panel 1, and an appropriate number of hooks 2-7 are attached to the lower beam 2-3. These roles will be described later.

The structure of the rear panel 2 is the same as the structure of the front panel, and a description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 3A is a front view of the side panel 3 (view from the outside side). FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC of FIG. 2A, and FIG. 2C is a cross-sectional view taken along line DD of FIG. The structure of this side panel is also the same as that of the front panel, but a pin 3-4 that fits into the above-described pin receiver 2-6 is attached to the upper end of the pillar 3-1. The lower beam 3-3 is provided with an engaging member 3-5 for attaching to the floor 1-4.

FIG. 4A is a plan view of the floor 4, FIG. 4B is a sectional view taken along line EE of FIG. 4A, and FIG. 4C is a front view of FIG. As shown in the figure, the floor is composed of a number of crossbars 4-4 in the shape of a cage. The reason why the floor is made to have a submersible structure with a gap is to secure air permeability. It is desirable that the cross section 4-4 is a section steel whose cross section is formed in a hat shape as shown in an enlarged cross section in FIG. 4 (d). It is strong enough to withstand the weight of a container packed with two or more granules (as described above, one bag weighing more than one ton) and not to bend. This is to ensure.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 (c), a guide 5 is provided at the lower portion of the floor 4 of the container so that a forklift claw can be inserted. Even if it is not such a guide, any structure may be used as long as the space for the claw of the forklift can be inserted when the container is grounded. With such a structure, loading and unloading of containers into trucks, etc., and movement and stacking in a warehouse can be easily performed using ordinary forklifts. In addition, air permeability with the ground (warehouse floor) can be secured, and moisture can be prevented.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the panel and the floor are combined and assembled. The procedure for assembling is as follows.

First, the hook 2-7 attached to the lower beam 2-3 of the front panel 1 is engaged with the horizontal beam 4-2 of the floor 4, and the front panel 1 stands upright with respect to the floor 4. Next, the pins 3-4 attached to the pillars 3-1 of the side panel 3 are fitted into the pin receivers 2-6 provided at the upper corners of the front panel 1. This fitting is performed by inserting the pin 3-4 into the large opening of the pin receiver 2-6 and dropping the pin 3-4 into the small opening. Thereby, the front panel 1 and the side panel 3 are connected. Finally, turn the lever 3-6 of the engaging member 3-5 attached to the lower beam 3-3 of the side panel in the direction of the arrow so that the hook 3-7 is fitted into the hole 4-5 of the floor 4. Thereby, the side panel 3 and the floor 4 are connected. The same applies to the connection of the rear panel 2 to the side panel 3 and the floor 4.

According to the above coupling method, the disassembly and disassembly of the container can be performed in a short time. When the container is not in use, it can be disassembled and stored and transported in a compact state, and in the event of partial panel and floor damage, only the damaged item can be replaced.

[0023]

[Effect of the invention]

 The container according to the present invention is easy to assemble and disassemble, and can be safely stacked vertically (for example, five levels) in the assembled state. Therefore, if a bag packed with agricultural products and the like is stored in this container, a large amount of agricultural products and the like can be safely stored on the same floor area as compared with the conventional case where bags are packed and stored. Even if multiple containers are stacked, the weight of the inner bag does not increase because the container itself supports the weight of the container stacked on top. Further, since the container has a lattice structure, the permeability of the stored agricultural products and the like does not deteriorate, and therefore, there is no risk of deterioration in quality even when stored for a long time.

The container of the present invention is also useful for streamlining the transportation of granular materials such as crops. In other words, a dedicated device was required for moving the bag and loading it into a truck, etc., while using the container of the present invention, the container can be moved and transported with a normal forklift. The present invention greatly contributes to the storage, transportation and quality maintenance of bagged crops and other granular materials.
