  By the way, in the prior art currently disclosed by patent documents 1-4, the function required for the storage tray and storage case for storing and conveying a superprecision metal component etc. is not fully provided. For example, the tray disclosed in Patent Document 1 prevents the positional deviation in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction by pushing and holding the storage component into the gap between the recesses of the tray. However, in the case of an ultra-precise metal part, there is a concern about plastic deformation due to external stress, and the housing part cannot be pushed into the gap between the recesses of the tray. Moreover, since the tray of patent document 1 is premised on stacking and storing a plurality of trays, it is adopted when used individually for storing and transporting individual parts for each storage tray. Can not.

  Moreover, the tray currently disclosed by patent document 2 laminates | stacks several trays and pinches | interposes storage components between two upper and lower trays. However, in this case, in a state where the upper tray serving as a lid is removed, the support of the storage component becomes unstable. Further, since the storage components are in direct contact with the structural members of the two upper and lower trays, there is a risk of damage due to friction with the structural members, which is not suitable as a storage tray for ultra-precision metal components.

  Moreover, the tray currently disclosed by patent document 3 can prevent intrusion of dust by mounting a storage part in the recessed part of a tray, preventing the position shift to a horizontal direction, and laminating | stacking several trays. It is. However, in this case, since the storage component is simply placed in the concave portion of the tray, it is not possible to prevent displacement due to vertical vibration during transportation by the vehicle and generation of impact force due to vibration. Further, since the storage component is in direct contact with the structural member of the tray, there is a risk of damage due to friction with the structural member, which is not suitable as a storage tray for ultra-precise metal parts.

In addition, the pellicle storage structure disclosed in Patent Document 4 has a pellicle used for preventing foreign matter from adhering to a photomask or a reticle used in a lithography process when manufacturing an LSI or the like. And a case made of a lid.
The feature of the invention according to Patent Document 4 is that when the pellicle is restrained by bringing the tray and the lid into contact with the protective film provided on the frame of the pellicle, and the pellicle is transported in this state, vibration during transportation and It is intended to prevent the pellicle from being rubbed and damaged by impact, or dust generated by strong rubbing and being attached to the pellicle. However, since the Pectel film is in a state of being bonded to a rigid frame, it is possible to make a non-contact structure to the tray or lid, but in the case of ultra-precision metal parts, it can be bonded to the frame. Therefore, the structure of Patent Document 4 cannot be adopted.

  On the other hand, storage trays that store parts with special surface treatment that easily peel off and parts that need to avoid adhesion of foreign substances to the surface during storage and transportation are not only stored, It is desirable to have an excellent protection function that covers and protects and prevents local stress from being applied to the housed parts. The storage tray is preferably a storage case with a lid because it can be used for storing and transporting individual parts independently for each storage tray in common in the parts processing and assembly process.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and can be used in common in processing and assembling processes of parts that require extremely delicate handling, and has excellent protection during storage and transportation of individual parts. It is an object to provide a storage case having a function.

  In order to achieve the above object, a storage case of the present invention is a storage case for storing a plate-shaped component, and a tray body provided with a first support member on a surface on which the plate-shaped component is mounted; A lid body closed in a shell-like manner with respect to the tray body, and a lid body provided with a second support member at a position corresponding to the first support member on the surface facing the tray body; And a connection ear provided with a through-hole extends on one side of the outer periphery of the tray body and one side of the outer periphery of the lid body. The lid body and the tray body are connected so as to be openable and closable through the through hole of the lid body and the through hole of the lid body. One support member and the second support member support both surfaces of the plate-like component.

  In the above storage case, the first support member and the second support member may be made of a plate-shaped cushion material.

  In the above storage case, the plate-like component is provided with a through hole, and the tray body includes a column body through which the through-hole can be inserted, and the plate-like component is supported by the tray body as a first support. While mounting on a member, you may insert the said column through the said through-hole.

  In the above storage case, the tray body has an opening / closing ear portion and a rimming ear portion that form a part of a plan view outline, and the opening / closing ear portion and the rimming ear portion are adjacent to each other. And the lid body has an opening / closing ear part and a rimming ear part forming a part of a plan view outer shape, and the opening / closing ear part and the rimming ear part are arranged adjacent to each other, With the lid closed in a shell-like manner with respect to the tray body, the opening / closing ear portion of the tray body faces the opening / closing ear portion of the lid body, and the opening / closing ear portion of the tray body The lid may have a portion that does not overlap the opening / closing ear.

  In the storage case, the tray body has a storage recess for storing the plate-like component, the first support member is provided on a bottom surface of the storage recess, and the lid body is the tray body. In contrast, a lid convex portion that enters the storage concave portion of the tray body by being closed in a shell-like manner may be provided, and the second support member may be provided on a lower surface of the lid convex portion. .

  In the storage case, the first support member is disposed with a gap at the periphery of the bottom surface of the storage recess, and the second support member is provided with a clearance at the periphery of the lower surface of the lid protrusion. The plate-like component is sandwiched between the tray body and the lid body, and the plate-like part is floated between the first support member and the second support member. It may support both sides of the part.

  In the storage case, a grip allowance for gripping and taking out at least one portion of the plate-like component may be provided on the outer peripheral portion of the storage recess.

  In the above storage case, the plate-like component may be an ultra-precision metal thin plate.

  In the above storage case, the plate-like component may be a fuel cell metal separator.

  In the storage case of the present invention, the first support member is provided on the surface of the tray body on which the plate-like component is mounted, and the second support member is provided on the surface of the lid body facing the tray body. Further, in the storage case of the present invention, the tray body and the lid body are connected by a coupling tool, the plate-like component is stored in the tray body, and the lid body is closed to the tray body in a shell-like manner, The plate-like component is supported while being sandwiched between the first support member and the second support member. That is, by preventing the plate-like component from vibrating in the thickness direction (vertical direction), the fixing position of the plate-like component can be prevented from shifting.

  In addition, on the surface of the plate-like component, the portion that is in contact with and covered with the first support member or the second support member does not adhere to foreign matters such as dust, and the performance deteriorates due to the attachment of foreign matter. In addition, problems such as damage can be suppressed.

  The storage case of the present invention stores the plate-like component in the tray body and closes the lid body in a shell-like manner with respect to the tray body so that the plate-like component is attached to the first support member and the second support member. The support member can be sandwiched and supported. For this reason, the region other than the portion supported by the first support member and the second support member of the plate-like component does not directly contact the structural member of the storage case. Therefore, if there is an extremely delicate part in a part of the plate-shaped part that is not in direct contact with the structural member of the storage case and may be scratched by friction with the structural member, such a region is used. It is possible to support the plate-like part while avoiding the above.

  In addition, the region of the plate-like component other than the portions supported by the first support member and the second support member is in a state of being supported with a gap between the tray body and the lid body. Therefore, the storage case of the present invention can also be used in common for a semi-assembled product in which other components are assembled on the surface and / or the lower surface of the plate-shaped component.

  Further, the storage case of the present invention is connected to the tray body by a connector so that the lid body can be closed like a shell. Therefore, the tray body and the lid body are not separated, and the storage management of the lid body becomes easy. Compared to a structure in which the tray body and lid are integrated and the hinge is folded to close the lid, the storage case of the present invention has a separate tray and lid, so the hinge is folded. As compared with the case of deforming, the repulsive stress is not generated, so that the operation of closing the lid is extremely easy.

  In addition, the storage case of the present invention stores the plate-like parts in the tray body, and closes the lid body in a shell-like manner with respect to the tray body, so that the individual plate-like parts are placed between the tray body and the lid body. Fully enclosed and stored. Therefore, it is possible to suppress foreign matters such as dust from adhering to individual plate-like components without overlapping a plurality of tray bodies as in the prior art.

FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the storage case 1 in which the plate-like component 2 is stored. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along an arrow along a straight line (A-A line in FIG. 3) crossing the fitting concave portion 120 and the fitting convex portion 220 of the storage case 1.
The operation of the storage case 1 that stores the plate-like component 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The storage case 1 stores the plate-like component 2 in the storage concave portion 110 of the tray body 100 and overlaps (closes) the lid 200 from above, so that the plate-like component 2 has the first support member 160 and the second support member. It is sandwiched between the member 260. Since the gap 103 is provided around the first support member 160 and the gap 203 is provided around the second support member 260, the first support member 160 and the second support member 260 are provided. Can support the inner side of the peripheral part 2c so as to avoid the peripheral part 2c of the plate-like component 2. Other members are assembled to the peripheral edge 2c of the plate-like component 2, and the thickness is larger than that of the main surface 2a. By disposing the first support member 160 and the second support member 260 so as to avoid the peripheral edge portion 2c, the plate-like component 2 can be supported with the peripheral edge portion 2c floating.

  Both the first support member 160 and the second support member 260 are made of a cushion material. By using the first support member 160 and the second support member 260 as cushion materials, the plate-like component 2 is held in the state of being stored in the storage case 1 and is subjected to vibration due to transportation by a vehicle or the like. However, it is difficult for an impact to be transmitted to the plate-like component 2, and displacement due to vibration and damage due to vibration friction are less likely to occur.

In the case where the first support member 160 and the second support member 260 are cushion materials, the first support member 160 and the second support member are stored in a state in which the plate-like component 2 is stored and the storage case 1 is closed. It is preferable to support the plate-like component 2 in a state where 260 is compressed. Further, even when the first support member 160 and the second support member 260 are in the most compressed state, a sufficient gap is formed between the peripheral edge portion 2 c and the tray body 100 and the lid body 200. It is preferable to make it thick.
Note that the thickness of the first support member 160 and the thickness of the second support member 260 are not necessarily the same. Depending on the thickness of the peripheral component 2d to be stacked on the peripheral portion 2c and the stacking direction of the plate-shaped component 2, the thickness of one support member is increased so that the peripheral component 2d has the structure of the tray body 100 and the lid 200. It is preferable that the member is configured not to contact the member.

  Since the first support member 160 and the second support member 260 are cushion materials, the first support member 160 and the second support member 260 are pressed against the plate-like component 2 and Deform along the surface shape. As a result, the first support member 160 and the second support member 260 and the plate-like component 2 are less likely to slip, and the plate-like component 2 in the sandwiched state is less likely to be displaced even when subjected to vibration or the like. Therefore, even when it is subjected to vertical vibration during transportation by a vehicle or the like, the plate-like component 2 is prevented from colliding with the wall portion 112 of the storage recess 110, and the plate-like component 2 is caused by external stress. It can be protected from plastic deformation.

As shown in FIG. 4, the plate-like component 2 stored in the storage case 1 has a first support member 160 in the vicinity of the central portion (more specifically, the special plating portion 2 b shown in FIG. 1). The second support member 260 is sandwiched and supported. Therefore, the peripheral edge portion 2 c of the plate-like component 2 is in a state of floating in a hollow state without contacting the tray body 100 and the lid body 200. When the peripheral edge 2c is a delicate part that may be damaged when brought into contact with the tray body 100 and the lid 200, it is possible to prevent the peripheral edge 2c from being damaged.
In addition, the storage case 1 supports the tray body 100 and the lid body 200 in which the peripheral edge portion 2c of the plate-like component 2 overlaps in a vertical direction with a constant gap in the thickness direction. Therefore, the storage case 1 can also be used in common for a semi-assembled product in which other parts (peripheral part 2d) are laminated on the peripheral part 2c of the plate-like part 2.

  Further, the storage case 1 of the present embodiment includes a column body 161 provided in the storage recess 110 of the tray body 100 corresponding to the position of the through hole 2 e of the plate-like component 2. The column 161 is formed with a smaller diameter than the through hole 2e. Thus, by storing the plate-shaped component 2 in the storage recess 110 of the tray body 100, the column body 161 is inserted through the through hole 2 e, and the plate-shaped component 2 is stored in the storage recess 110. Part of the outer periphery of the column body 161 abuts on the inner periphery of the through hole 2e, and the plate-like component 2 can be prevented from moving in the surface direction.

  The thickness of the column 161 is preferably larger than the thickness of the first support member 160. Thus, by mounting the plate-like component 2 on the first support member 160, the column body 161 can be inserted into the through hole 2 e of the plate-like component 2. Therefore, even in the state where the storage case 1 is opened, the movement in the surface direction of the plate-like component 2 mounted on the tray body 100 can be suppressed.

The column 161 is preferably made of a cushion material, and the same material as the first support member 160 and the second support member 260 can be used.
By using a cushion material as the column 161, when a part of the outer periphery of the column 161 abuts on the inner periphery of the through hole 2e of the plate-like component 2, the plate-like component 2 is not damaged.

Although the details of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, the lid convex portion 210 of the lid body 200 may not be fitted into the storage concave portion 110 and may simply be inserted into the storage concave portion 110.
Further, the second support member 260 may be provided directly on the main surface 250 without forming the lid convex portion 210 on the lid 200.
