  By the way, in conventional containers for transportation, packages are individually packed in a wooden frame or the like, and the packed packages are stacked and loaded in the container. However, recently, due to the growing awareness of the environment, it has been required to abolish the use of packaging materials such as wooden frames as much as possible and to load the packages as barely as possible.

  In the case of simplifying packing of a package, it becomes impossible to stack other packages on the package. However, simply placing the load on the floor inside the container reduces the load per container, which increases the transport amount per load. That is, it has been required to use the space effectively without stacking the packages in the container. In particular, in transportation of polished stones and the like, when stones come into contact with each other, scratches are generated and the value of the product is lowered.

  For this reason, the applicant considered providing a shelf in the container body, but when the shelf is provided and the inside of the container body is divided into upper and lower parts, the forklift cannot enter the container body. There is a problem of not being able to load luggage. In particular, heavy objects such as stone are problematic because they cannot be moved manually. Moreover, since the position of the top of the shelf is so high that the forklift operator cannot see the back, there is a possibility that the packages may collide with each other.

  In addition, since containers for transportation have standards such as height, length, and weight, even if shelves are provided in the container body, the strength of the container can be reduced without reducing the strength of the container. It is necessary to provide a shelf.

  The present invention has been devised in view of such a background, and an object of the present invention is to provide a container capable of efficiently loading a package in which packing is simplified, particularly a heavy package.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the container for transportation of the present invention can be fully opened on both sides of the container body so that the container body can be loaded and unloaded with a box-shaped container body that is long in the front and rear and the inside of the container body. Fixed to the front wall and the rear wall so as to connect the front wall and the rear wall of the container body along the front-rear direction; The main body is provided with a shelf that divides the main body into two.

According to such a configuration, since the opening portions are provided on both side surfaces which are long surfaces of the container, the container can be taken in and out from both side surfaces, and the container main body can be moved without moving the baggage from the opening portion to the back. Luggage can be loaded on the entire surface of the floor and shelves. In particular, since it is only necessary to load the luggage on the shelf at a high position only in the vicinity of the opening, it is easy to load and unload the luggage, and the risk of bringing the luggage into contact with each other is reduced.
Thus, according to the container of the present invention, it is easy to load and unload luggage, and space can be used effectively to reduce transportation costs.

And looking at the strength aspect of the container, the shelf is fixed to the front wall and the rear wall so that the front end portion and the rear end portion connect the front wall and the rear wall of the container main body. It becomes the structure which reinforces. For this reason, it is possible to withstand the loading of heavy objects such as stones by reinforcing the shelves with the demerits of strength reduction due to the openings on both the left and right sides.
In addition, since the number of shelves is one, an increase in the weight of the entire container (the weight excluding luggage) can be moderately suppressed, and a decrease in the loading amount due to the provision of the shelves can be minimized.

  The shelf preferably supports a substantially middle portion in the front-rear direction of the shelf on the floor of the container body via a support member. When the central portion of the shelf is supported by the support member, the strength of the shelf is substantially increased and the deflection at the central portion in the front-rear direction of the shelf is reduced, so that the thickness of the shelf can be reduced. And if a shelf is reduced in weight, the weight of a container will be reduced and the loading capacity can be increased.

  In addition, the floor surface is preferably formed of a striped steel plate in order to increase frictional force and prevent movement of the load during transportation. The striped steel plate is a steel plate in which a convex portion protruding from the surface of the steel plate is formed by a method such as partially extruding a part of the steel plate from the back side to the front side. In this way, when the floor surface is formed of a striped steel plate, a large frictional force is generated between the pallet, in particular, the wooden pallet and the convex part, and the frictional force suppresses the pallet displacement. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of the load collapse. Here, the frictional force means not only the frictional force between the pallet surface and the convex surface, but also a comprehensive one including the biting of the convex portion with respect to the pallet.

  It is preferable that the placement surface on which the luggage is placed is formed of a striped steel plate, like the floor. When the mounting surface of the shelf is formed of a striped steel plate, the load can be prevented from being shifted and the collapse of the load can be prevented as in the case where the floor is formed of the striped steel plate.

  Each of the doors is composed of a pair of door members that are pivotally supported via hinges on the edge of the front wall or the edge of the rear wall, and each door member is a container body. The folding door members are divided in the front-rear direction and connected to each other via a hinge so as to be foldable.

  If the entire left and right sides of the container are open, a large door is required. According to such a configuration, the inner folding door member is folded outward and then the entire door member is opened outside the opening. The part can be opened. When closing the door, the entire door member is closed inside the opening, and then the folding door member on the outside is folded inside. For this reason, the door can be opened and closed in a small space. When the door is opened, the door member is opened to the outside of the opening with the folding door member folded, so that the opening can be completely opened, and the loading and unloading work by the forklift can be made smooth. .

  According to the present invention, since there is a shelf, a large amount can be loaded even if the packing of the luggage is simplified. If the luggage is loaded only in the vicinity of the opening, the luggage can be loaded on the entire surface of the floor and the shelf, so that the luggage can be easily loaded and unloaded. Further, since the shelf is fixed to the front wall and the rear wall of the container main body, the shelf reinforces the container main body, so that the strength of the container can be maintained even if there are large openings on the left and right sides.

It is a perspective view which shows the state which open | released the opening part of the right-and-left both sides of the container concerning this invention. It is the perspective view which closed a part of door of the container concerning this invention. It is a figure which shows the securing state of a load. It is (a) top view and (b) side view which showed the mode when a cargo handling operation | work is performed with a forklift.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the container 1 is formed in a box shape that is long in the front-rear direction, and is transported to a destination while being fixed to a loading platform of a transport machine such as a vehicle or a freight car.
A container main body 2 of the container 1 includes a ceiling 3, a front wall 4, a rear wall 5, and a floor (floor board) 6.

The floor 6 is formed by, for example, fixing a floor plate to the upper surface of the base 11 of the container body 2 by welding or bolting.
A shelf 7 is provided above the floor 6. The shelf 7 extends along the front-rear direction, and the front and rear ends are fixed to the front wall 4 and the rear wall 5 so as to connect the front wall 4 and the rear wall 5 of the container body 2 forming a cargo compartment. The luggage compartment is divided into two vertically by the shelf 7. In the present embodiment, the shelf 7 has its front end and rear end engaged with an engagement portion (not shown) provided on the front wall 4 and the rear wall 5 of the container body 2. 4 and the rear wall 5 are fixed by welding and supported by them.

  The floor board which forms the surface of the floor 6 and the mounting surface of the shelf 7, in other words, the surface on which the luggage 12 is placed, is formed of a striped steel plate (checker plate). The striped steel plate generates a large frictional force between the pallet 9 for transfer placed on the floor 6 and the shelf 7, particularly a wooden pallet 9, and prevents the pallet 9 from being displaced during transportation.

A substantially middle portion of the shelf 7 in the front-rear direction, in the present embodiment, is supported by the floor 6 via a plurality of support members 10 that are spaced apart from each other on the left and right. The plurality of support members 10 are made of, for example, a steel material, preferably a square pipe, H steel, or the like. When the central portion of the shelf 7 is supported on the floor 6 via the support member 10, the bending stress at the central portion in the front-rear direction of the shelf 7 is reduced, and the deflection at the central portion is reduced. Thereby, a heavy object can be loaded also on the shelf 7.
Further, when the floor 6 is welded to the base 11 of the container main body 2 and the support member 10 is welded to the floor 6 and the shelf 7, higher strength can be obtained.

FIG. 3 shows a fixing device for fixing the pallet 9 and the luggage 12 to the floor 6 or the shelf 7. As shown in FIG. 3, the floor 6 or the shelf 7 is provided with hooks 14 at appropriate positions in order to secure the pallet 9 and the luggage 12 with ropes 13.
The hook 14 is made of a metal bar bent in a U-shape, and the two shaft portions 14a pass through the two holes 16 of the recess 15 provided by recessing the base 11 and the floor 6 (shelf 7). Yes. Further, the shaft portion 14a of the hook 14 has a shape in which a tip portion entering the hole 16 is bent outward. This prevents the hook 14 from coming off the floor 6.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the left and right doors are composed of a pair of door members 17 a that can be opened on both sides, and are held closed by a locking device.
One door member 17a on the front side is pivotally supported on the front wall 4 of the container main body 2, and the other door member 17a is pivotally supported on the rear wall 5. These door members 17a are each composed of a pair of folding door members 17b. Yes. The pair of folding door members 17b are pivotally supported with respect to each other via hinges 20, and the front and rear end portions are pivotally supported with the side edges of the front wall 4 or the rear wall 5 via hinges 19. These folding door members 17b are formed in a vertically long rectangle, and a window is provided as necessary.

  A method of using the container 1 configured as described above will be described. When loading and unloading the luggage 12, first, a pair of door members 17a are opened. At this time, since the door is formed by the pair of door members 17a, it is possible to arbitrarily select whether the opening 30 is fully open or half open. Moreover, since the opening part 30 is provided in the both sides of the container main body 2, it is possible to work using only one opening part 30 depending on the position of the unloading place and the scheduled time from the start to the end of the work. It is possible to select whether to work or to use both openings 30 at the same time. Therefore, the container 1 of the present embodiment having the opening portions 30 on both sides has a higher degree of freedom than a conventional container having only one opening portion on one side, and the work time for loading and unloading can be greatly shortened. it can. Since the pair of door members 17a is composed of two pairs of folding door members 17b, when the folding door members 17b are sequentially opened and folded outwardly, the container body 2 is opened with a minimum radius (surrounding space). Part 30 can be opened.

  When loading the cargo 12 with the forklift 31, as shown in FIG. 4, the fork 32 is inserted into the pallet 9, and the height of the pallet 9 is adjusted by moving the fork 32 up and down with the pallet 9 inserted. After adjusting the height of the pallet 9, the forklift 31 is moved back and forth and left and right to determine the pallet placement position and take-out position, and the cargo 12 is loaded and unloaded. The container 1 of the present embodiment has openings 30 on both sides of the container main body 2 and is fully open. Therefore, the right door member 17a can be opened in the right area of the container main body 2. The luggage 12 may be stacked from the opening 30 and the luggage 12 may be stacked in the left area from the opening 30 formed by opening the left door member 17a. For this reason, even if it is a heavy object such as stone, the luggage 12 can be easily loaded on the entire surface of the floor 6 and the shelf 7 by loading the luggage 12 only in the vicinity of the opening 30.

  After the load 12 is loaded on the floor 6 and the shelf 7, the rope 12 is entangled with the hook 14 to secure the load 12 as shown in FIG. When the baggage 12 is secured to be pressed against the floor 6 or the shelf 7 using the hook 14, a large frictional force is generated between the placing surface of the pallet 9 and the protruding portion of the striped steel plate of the floor 6, The load 12 is firmly fixed to the floor 6 or the shelf 7 by the binding force of the rope 13. Therefore, the load does not shift or collapse during transportation.

  As described above, according to the present invention, by providing the shelf 7 in the container 1, even if the packing of the luggage 12 is simplified, a large number of luggage 12 can be loaded. If the luggage 12 is loaded only in the vicinity of the opening 30, the luggage 12 can be loaded on the entire surface of the floor 6 and the shelf 7, so that the luggage 12 can be easily loaded and unloaded. Further, since the shelf 7 is fixed to the front wall 4 and the rear wall 5 of the container body 2, the shelf 7 reinforces the container body 2, so that even if there are large openings 30 on the left and right sides, the container 1 The strength of can be kept.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be implemented with appropriate modifications as long as it is not contrary to the spirit of the present invention.
For example, the door may be a shutter that is lifted upward instead of a folding door. Further, if the length of the container in the front-rear direction is not so long, the support member may not be provided.
