Description

  The present invention relates to a pallet on which a load is placed, and a transport fork used with the pallet.

  Conventionally, a pallet as a loading platform has been used for transporting cargo. By placing a load on a pallet and transporting the pallet with a forklift or hand lift, a large number of loads can be transported at once. Therefore, for example, when transporting a load from a receiving place to an unloading place by a truck, the load placed on the pallet at the receiving place is put on the loading platform of the truck together with the pallet and arrives at the unloading place. If the pallet is unloaded from the pallet, it should be possible to transport the package in a short time with less labor.

  However, in the current logistics industry, the cargo placed on the pallet at the receiving site is transferred from the pallet to the truck loading platform, and when it arrives at the unloading site, it is further transferred to the pallet at the unloading site. The situation is often the case. This is because the pallet owner is different between the receiving place and the unloading place, and it is difficult to manage the pallet if the pallet carries the load.

  In general, a truck carrier manually performs the work of transferring the load from the pallet to the truck bed at the receiving place and the work of transferring the load from the truck bed to the pallet at the unloading place. For this reason, there has been a problem for the truck carrier that the work of changing the load at the receiving place and the unloading place is very hard and takes a long time.

  Also, in November 2017, the standard lorry transportation contract, which is a model of the contract between the trucking company and the shipper established by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, was revised, and the fare that is truly the price for transportation It was stipulated that there should be a clear distinction between the loading / unloading work and the waiting time due to the shipper's convenience. This seems to be a desirable amendment for truckers, but in fact, shippers who do not want to incur costs other than freight are asked to reduce the time required to load and unload packages. There is a risk of falling into a more severe situation.

  Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a pallet capable of reducing labor load and time required for transporting luggage even when the owner of the pallet is different between the receiving place and the unloading place, and the pallet. An object of the present invention is to provide a transport fork used together.

In order to solve the above problems, the pallet according to the present invention is
“The upper surface of the pallet body that has two pairs of side surfaces and is rectangular in plan view is a placement surface on which a load is placed,
A plurality of claw portion insertion grooves into which the claw portions of the transport fork are inserted are opened on the mounting surface.

  In the pallet of this configuration, the claw portion insertion groove is opened on the placement surface on which the load is placed, so that only the load is lifted and conveyed by the claw portion of the transport fork inserted into the claw portion insertion groove. Can do. As a result, it is possible to transport the cargo placed on the pallet at a time by the transport fork without transporting the entire pallet. Therefore, because the owner of the pallet is different between the receiving place and the unloading place, the labor load and time required for transporting the load are reduced compared to the conventional case where the load placed on the pallet is manually transferred. It can be greatly reduced.

Here, forklifts and handlifts (sometimes referred to as “hand forks” or “pallet jacks”) can be used as transport forks, but their pawls are in the pawl insertion grooves of the pallet of this configuration. It is a thing made to correspond. That is, the transport fork of the present invention used together with the pallet of the present configuration is
“A plurality of claw portions having a width smaller than the groove width of the claw portion insertion groove and a thickness smaller than the depth of the claw portion insertion groove are continuously provided at the same pitch as the claw portion insertion groove”. .

  If the claw portion insertion groove has a wide groove width, the posture may become unstable when the load placed on the placement surface is small. Therefore, the groove width is preferably 3 cm to 8 cm. It is more desirable to set it to -6 cm. Also, if the number of claw portions of the transport fork is small and the pitch of the claw portions is large, when a plurality of loads are placed side by side on the placement surface, the entire load is lifted by the transport fork. May be difficult. Therefore, the pitch of the claw part, that is, the pitch of the claw part insertion groove is preferably 8 cm to 20 cm, the number of claw parts is preferably 5 or more, and the width length of the plurality of claw parts as a whole is a pallet. It is desirable that the width is 70% or more.

The pallet according to the present invention has the above configuration,
“Having a second mounting surface on the opposite side of the mounting surface,
A plurality of second claw insertion grooves having the same size and pitch as the claw insertion grooves are opened on the second placement surface.

  The pallet of this structure has the advantage that it can be used upside down, that is, it can be used regardless of whether it is up or down. Also, with the load placed on the mounting surface, the claw portion of the transport fork is inserted into the claw portion insertion groove to lift only the load, and the claw portion of the transfer fork is moved to the second claw portion insertion groove. Both the insertion and the conveyance of lifting the load together with the pallet can be performed.

The pallet according to the present invention has the above configuration,
“It is further provided with a claw insertion hole that is open in the side surface and not in the mounting surface”.

  Forklifts and handlifts with two claw parts have been widely used. The claw portion insertion holes can be provided with a size and a pitch corresponding to the two claw portions provided in the conventional forklift or handlift. Thereby, it becomes a pallet which can perform both the conveyance by the conventional forklift or hand lift and the conveyance by the fork for conveyance of the present invention provided with the claw portion corresponding to the claw portion insertion groove. For example, it is possible to use a conventional forklift or hand lift when transporting a whole pallet, and using the transport fork of the present invention when transporting only a load from the pallet.

The pallet according to the present invention has the above configuration,
“It further includes an insertion piece having a width smaller than the groove width of the claw portion insertion groove and inserted into the claw portion insertion groove, and a luggage guard having a guard portion rising perpendicularly from the insertion piece” be able to.

  The luggage guard is used by inserting the insertion piece into the claw part insertion groove with the guard part facing above the insertion piece and bringing the guard part into contact with the lower part of the luggage. When transporting a load with the transport fork, the claw portion of the transport fork is inserted into the claw portion insertion groove below the insertion piece, and then the claw portion is raised. Since the lower part of the luggage is protected by the guard part, even when the claw part hits the lower part of the luggage when the claw part is inserted into the claw part insertion groove, the possibility that the luggage will be damaged is reduced.

  As described above, according to the present invention, even if the owner of the pallet is different between the receiving place and the unloading place, the pallet capable of reducing labor burden and time required for carrying the load, and the pallet A transport fork for use with can be provided.

It is a perspective view which shows the structure and usage method of a luggage guard.

  Hereinafter, pallets 1 to 5 and forks 50 and 60 for conveyance according to a specific embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9. First, the pallet 1 of 1st embodiment is demonstrated using FIG.

  The pallet 1 is a pallet body 10 in which a plurality of claw insertion grooves 21 are formed. The pallet main body 10 is a flat rectangular parallelepiped, and is a square with a side length of 100 cm to 120 cm and a height of 4 cm to 15 cm in plan view. The upper surface of the pallet main body 10 is a placement surface 11 on which a load is placed, and a plurality of claw portion insertion grooves 21 are open to the placement surface 11. The mounting surface 11 and the surface of the bottom surface 16 on the opposite side thereof are subjected to roughening with fine irregularities.

  Each of the plurality of claw insertion grooves 21 extends parallel to one side of the square in plan view and penetrates the pair of side surfaces 15. Each claw insertion groove 21 has the same size and shape, the cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is trapezoidal, the opening width L is 5 cm to 6 cm, the groove bottom width N is 4 cm to 5 cm, and the depth D Is 3 cm to 4 cm, and the pitch P is 10 cm to 12 cm. Here, a case where one pallet 1 includes nine claw insertion grooves 21 is illustrated.

  The transport fork used with the pallet 1 may be a transport fork 50 attached to the forklift as illustrated in FIG. 2 or a hand lift type transport fork 60 as illustrated in FIG. You can also. Each of the transporting forks 50 and 60 includes a plurality of claw portions 41 inserted into the claw portion insertion grooves 21 of the pallet 1.

  Each of the plurality of claw portions 41 has the same size and shape, the width is smaller than the width N of the groove bottom of the claw portion insertion groove 21, and the thickness is smaller than the depth D of the claw portion insertion groove 21. Although the upper surface of each claw part 41 is on the same plane, the tip side of each claw part 41 gradually decreases in thickness toward the tip, and can be easily inserted into the claw part insertion groove 21. The pitch of the claw portions 41 is the same as the pitch P of the claw portion insertion grooves 21. Further, the number of the claw portions 41 in one transport fork 50, 60 is equal to the number of the claw portion insertion grooves 21 in the pallet 1, and is nine here. Moreover, the width length W of the plurality of claw portions 41 as a whole is 80% to 85% of the width length of the pallet 1 (the length of one side of the square in plan view).

  Here, a normal forklift is provided with two claw parts, but the claw part is attached to the frame on the front of the forklift for the convenience of replacement when the claw part is worn or for replacement with an attachment other than the claw part. In general, it is removable. Since the transport fork 50 includes an arm 51 attached to the frame on the front surface of the forklift, it can be attached to the forklift in place of a conventional claw portion. In addition, although the fork 50 for conveyance of Fig.2 (a) is an example provided with the fork part 40 with which all the some nail | claw parts 41 were united by the base end side, as shown in FIG.2 (b). In addition, the fork portion 40 can be divided. In this case, at least one of the plurality of arms 51 is attached to each of the divided portions 40d. Thereby, the divided fork part 40 can be integrated by attaching the arm 51 to the frame of the forklift.

  On the other hand, the handlift type transport fork 60 includes a plurality of claw portions 41, a frame body 61 that supports the plurality of claw portions 41, wheels 62 and 63 that move the frame body 61, and a hydraulic cylinder 65 that moves the frame body 61 up and down. And a handle 67 are mainly provided. The claw portion 41 has the same size and shape as the claw portion 41 of the above-described transport fork 50, and the number and pitch of the claw portions 41 are also the same. The frame 61 is U-shaped in plan view, and the base ends of the plurality of claw portions 41 are fixed to the middle portion thereof.

  The hydraulic cylinder 65 is fixed to a base portion 66, and a steering wheel 62 is attached to the bottom portion of the base portion 66. By repeating the operation of rotating the handle 67 around the support shaft 67p, the hydraulic pressure of the cylinder portion 65a of the hydraulic cylinder 65 increases and the rod portion 65b rises. An intermediate portion of the frame body 61 is fixed to the rod portion 65b, and the claw portion 41 rises together with the frame body 61 as the rod portion 65b rises. When the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic cylinder 65 is released by operating the lever 68 provided on the handle 67, the rod portion 65b is lowered, and the claw portion 41 is lowered together with the frame body 61. Wheels 63 are respectively attached to the front ends of both external parts of the frame body 61. The rotation bar 64 that rotatably supports the rotation shaft 63p of the wheel 63 is fastened to the frame body 61 so as to be rotatable. Therefore, the grounding state of the wheel 63 is maintained regardless of the height of the frame body 61 by the rotation of the rotation bar 64 accompanying the raising and lowering of the frame body 61.

  Next, a method for using the pallet 1 will be described. The pallet 1 can be used with a conventional pallet 80 as shown in FIG. In the conventional pallet 80, claw portion insertion holes 81 for inserting two claw portions provided in a conventional forklift or hand lift are opened in two pairs of side surfaces 85, and the claw portions can be inserted from four directions. Is.

  When the pallet 1 is placed on the conventional pallet 80 and the load is placed on the placement surface 11 of the pallet 1, the two claw portions provided in the conventional forklift or handlift are inserted into the claw portion insertion holes 81. The pallet 1 can carry a package. Since the mounting surface 11 of the pallet 1 is roughened, slipping of the load with respect to the mounting surface 11 is suppressed. Further, since the bottom surface 16 of the pallet 1 is also roughened, the sliding of the pallet 1 on the conventional pallet 80 is suppressed.

  On the other hand, by inserting the claw portions 41 of the transport forks 50 and 60 into the claw portion insertion grooves 21 of the pallet 1, only the load can be lifted from the pallet 1 and conveyed. Since the claw portion insertion groove 21 has a small groove width, the posture of the load placed on the placement surface 11 does not become unstable even if the claw portion insertion groove 21 is opened on the placement surface 11. Further, since the pitch of the claw portions 41 is small corresponding to the pitch P of the claw portion insertion grooves 21 and the mounting surface 11 is entirely covered with the many claw portions 41, a small size is provided on the mounting surface 11. Even if a plurality of packages are placed in the lateral direction, all the packages can be transported at once by the transporting forks 50, 60. When a plurality of packages are placed on the placement surface 11, the plurality of packages may be integrated by, for example, winding a belt-like film around the outer periphery of the stacked packages.

  Taking as an example the case where the load 90 is transported by truck from the receiving place to the unloading place, the transfer of the load 90 by the pallet 1 will be described with reference to FIG. In the receiving place, the truck, and the unloading place, the pallet 1 is placed on a conventional pallet 80 owned by each trader. Since the pallet 1 can be manufactured at a low cost with a simple configuration, the economic burden of purchasing the pallet 1 in addition to the conventional pallet 80 owned by each pallet 1 is small.

  At the receiving place (see “site A” in FIG. 4), the load 90 is placed on the placement surface 11 of the pallet 1 placed on the conventional pallet 80 (see FIG. 4A). Inside the receiving area, the load 90 can be moved together with the pallets 80, 1 using a conventional forklift or handlift.

  When the load 90 is moved from the receiving place to the truck bed (see “site B” in FIG. 4), the claw portions 41 of the transport forks 50 and 60 are laterally inserted into the claw insertion grooves 21 of the pallet 1 of the receiving place. (See FIG. 4B), the claw portion 41 is raised and the load 90 is lifted (see FIG. 4C). Then, the claw portion 41 with the load 90 placed thereon is moved above the pallet 1 for the truck bed, and the claw portion 41 is lowered and inserted into the claw portion insertion groove 21 from above (FIG. 4D). reference). Thereafter, when the claw portion 41 is pulled out from the side of the pallet 1, the movement of the luggage 90 from “site A” to “site B” is completed (see FIG. 4E).

  After transporting the luggage 90 to the unloading place by the truck, the luggage 90 can be moved in the same manner as described above, with “site A” in FIG. 4 as the loading platform of the truck and “site B” as the unloading place. In this case, for example, a conventional forklift is used to unload the pallets 80 and 1 together with the pallets 80 and 1 from the truck bed, and the load 90 is placed on the pallet 1 at the receiving place with a handlift type transport fork 60. Can be changed. Inside the unloading place, the load 90 can be moved together with the pallets 80, 1 using a conventional forklift or hand lift.

  Next, the pallet 2 of 2nd embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. The pallet 2 has a second placement surface 12 in which a plurality of second claw portion insertion grooves 22 are open on the opposite side of the placement surface 11 in which a plurality of claw portion insertion grooves 21 are open. . The cross-sectional shape, size (opening width, groove bottom width, depth), number, and pitch of the claw insertion grooves 21 of the pallet 2 are the same as the claw insertion grooves 21 of the pallet 1 of the first embodiment. . The cross-sectional shape, size (opening width, groove bottom width, depth), number, and pitch of the second claw portion insertion groove 22 are the same as those of the claw portion insertion groove 21. The pallet 2 has a corrugated shape in which the claw portion insertion groove 21 and the second claw portion insertion groove 22 are arranged through a wall having a thickness of 5 mm to 10 mm. The thickness is 3 cm to 5 cm.

  Similarly to the pallet 1 of the first embodiment, the pallet 2 having such a configuration is also mounted on the conventional pallet 80 and used for conveyance to move only the cargo as in the method of use illustrated with reference to FIG. can do. The pallet 2 can be used in the same way even if it is turned upside down, and there is an advantage regardless of whether it is upside down.

  In addition, the pallet 2 can also move the luggage together with the pallet 2 in a state where the luggage is placed on the placement surface 11. For example, when a package is transported by a truck from a receiving place to an unloading place, the receiving place and the truck carrier own the pallet 2 in addition to the conventional pallet 80. Taking a case where only the conventional pallet 80 is owned as an example, a method of using the pallet 2 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In the receiving place (see “site C” in FIGS. 6 and 7), the load 90 is placed on the placement surface 11 of the pallet 2 placed on the conventional pallet 80. Inside the receiving area, the luggage 90 can be moved together with the pallets 80 and 2 using a conventional forklift or handlift. When the load 90 is moved from the receiving place to the truck bed (see “site D” in FIGS. 6 and 7), the claw portions 41 of the transport forks 50 and 60 are inserted into the claw insertion grooves 21 of the pallet 2 of the receiving place. Inserted from the side (see FIG. 6A), the claw portion 41 is raised to lift the load 90 (see FIG. 6B). Then, the claw portion 41 with the load 90 placed thereon is moved above the pallet 2 for the truck bed, and the claw portion 41 is lowered and inserted into the claw portion insertion groove 21 from above (FIG. 6C). reference). Thereafter, when the claw portion 41 is pulled out from the side of the pallet 2, the movement of the load 90 from “site C” to “site D” is completed (see FIG. 6D).

  After transporting the load 90 to the unloading place (see “site E” in FIGS. 6 and 7) by the truck, the claws of the transport forks 50 and 60 are inserted into the second pawl insertion groove 22 of the pallet 2 for the truck bed. The part 41 is inserted from the side (see FIG. 7A), and the claw part 41 is raised. Thereby, the load 90 is lifted together with the pallet 2 by the claw portion 41 (see FIG. 7B). Then, the claw portion 41 in a state where the load 90 is placed together with the pallet 2 is moved above the conventional pallet 80 at the unloading place, the claw portion 41 is lowered, and the second placement surface 12 is the upper surface of the pallet 80. The pallet 2 is placed on the pallet 80 so as to be in contact with (see FIG. 7C). Thereafter, when the claw portion 41 is pulled out from the side of the pallet 2, the movement of the load 90 from “site D” to “site E” is completed (see FIG. 7D).

  In the case of such conveyance, the pallet 2 moves from the “site D” vendor to the “site E” vendor, but the pallet 2 can be collected at another conveyance opportunity. Since the pallet 2 is a corrugated groove having a trapezoidal cross section (claw part insertion groove 21 and second claw part insertion groove 22) on both sides, it can be stacked and collected in a compact manner and collected. There is an advantage that it is not bulky when it is transported during storage or collection. Further, since the pallet 2 has a simpler configuration than the pallet 1 of the first embodiment, it is possible to select use so that it is not collected as a consumable item. The “site D” vendor does not own the pallet 2, and a method of using the pallet 2 from the “site C” vendor to the “site E” vendor is also possible. In this case, the claw portions 41 of the transport forks 50 and 60 are always inserted into the second claw portion insertion groove 22, and the load 90 is moved together with the pallet 2.

  In the above, the pallets 1 and 2 that can be used in addition to the conventional pallet 80 are illustrated, but the present invention can be applied to a pallet that is used in place of the conventional pallet 80. As shown in FIG. 8, the pallets 3, 4, and 5 of the third to fifth embodiments have two pairs of side surfaces 15 and the top surface of the pallet body 10 that is rectangular in plan view is loaded with a load. The mounting surface 11 includes a plurality of claw portion insertion grooves 21 that are opened in the mounting surface 11 and into which the claw portions 41 of the transporting forks 50 and 60 are inserted. The surface 11 is provided with a claw insertion hole 25 that is not open. The claw portion insertion holes 25 are opened in each of the two pairs of side surfaces 15, and the sizes and intervals thereof are set to sizes and intervals at which two claw portions of a conventional forklift or handlift can be inserted.

  More specifically, the configuration of the pallet 3 of the third embodiment corresponds to a configuration in which the pallet 1 of the first embodiment and the conventional pallet 80 are integrated as shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 8 (b-1) and 8 (b-2), the pallet 4 of the fourth embodiment is the third point in that the claw portion insertion hole 25 is open to the bottom surface 16 of the pallet body. It is different from the pallet 3 of the embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 8C-1 and 8C-2, the pallet 5 of the fifth embodiment has a second placement surface 12 on which a load is placed on the opposite side of the placement surface 11. It differs from the pallet 3 of the third embodiment in that a plurality of second claw portion insertion grooves 22 having the same size and pitch as the claw portion insertion grooves 21 are opened in the second placement surface 12. ing. The pallet 5 can be used upside down.

  Also by these pallets 3, 4 and 5, by inserting the claw portion 41 of the transport forks 50 and 60 into the claw portion insertion groove 21, only the parcels are transported at one time without moving the pallets 3, 4 and 5. Therefore, even if the pallet owner is different between the receiving place and the unloading place, the load can be reduced and the load can be transported.

  Further, since the pallets 3, 4, and 5 are provided with both the claw portion insertion grooves 21 and the claw portion insertion holes 25, the pallets 3, 4, and 5 are configured to transfer only the load using the transfer forks 50 and 60, Both forklifts and handlifts can be used to move the pallets 3, 4 and 5 together.

  The pallets 1 to 5 can be configured to further include a luggage guard 30. As shown in FIG. 9, the luggage guard 30 includes an insertion piece 31 having a width smaller than the groove width of the claw portion insertion groove 21 and a guard portion 32 that rises at a right angle from the insertion piece 31. One luggage guard 30 has a plurality of insertion pieces 31, and the pitch of the insertion pieces 31 is the same as the pitch P of the claw portion insertion grooves 21. The width of the insertion piece 31 is set slightly smaller than the opening width L of the claw portion insertion groove 21.

  The luggage guard 30 having such a configuration is used by inserting the insertion piece 31 into the claw portion insertion groove 21 in a direction in which the guard portion 32 is above the insertion piece 31. Since the width of the insertion piece 31 is slightly smaller than the opening width L of the claw insertion groove 21 and the cross-sectional shape of the claw insertion groove 21 is a trapezoid whose width N at the groove bottom is smaller than the opening width L, the claw insertion groove The luggage guard 30 in which the insertion piece 31 is inserted into 21 does not fall. And the guard part 32 which stood up from the insertion piece 31 at a right angle can be brought into contact with the lower surface of the load. When the claw portion 41 is inserted into the claw portion insertion groove 21 in order to transport the load with the transport forks 50 and 60, the claw portion 41 is naturally inserted into the claw portion insertion groove 21 below the insertion piece 31. Therefore, when the claw portion 41 is inserted into the claw portion insertion groove 21, the lower portion of the load is protected by the guard portion 32, and the possibility that the load will be damaged even if the claw portion 41 hits the load is reduced. Has been.

  In addition, in FIG. 9, although the case where the pallet 5 of the fifth embodiment includes the luggage guard 30 is illustrated, the pallets 1 to 4 of the other embodiments are similarly configured to include the luggage guard 30. Can do. In addition, in the pallets 2 and 5 having the second claw portion insertion groove 22, the load placed on the second placement surface 12 by inserting the insertion piece 31 of the load guard 30 into the second claw portion insertion groove 22. Can be protected by the guard portion 32.

  The present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention as described below. Design changes are possible.

  For example, in the above description, a method of using the conventional pallet 80 for the sheet-like pallets 1 and 2 that do not have the claw insertion holes 25 is illustrated, but the pallets 1 and 2 can be used without using the conventional pallet 80. Can also be used alone. In this case, the pallet 1 is suitable when it is not necessary to transport the package together with the pallet 1. On the other hand, the pallet 2 can carry the cargo together with the pallet 2 using only the forks 50 and 60 for transportation without using a conventional forklift or handlift, or can carry only the cargo.

  Further, different pallets among the pallets 1 to 5 can be used at a plurality of sites in one transport route for transporting the cargo from the receiving place to the unloading place. For example, when carrying a load from a receiving place to an unloading place by a truck, the truck carrier uses one of pallets 3, 4, and 5 that can be used in place of the conventional pallet 80, and receives the receiving place and the unloading place. Then, it is possible to use the pallet 1 or the pallet 2 in addition to the conventional pallet 80. In this case, both pallets may be different, for example, the pallet 1 is owned at the receiving place and the pallet 2 is owned at the unloading place. Thus, even if the pallets used for each site (each trader) are different, the pallets 1 to 5 share the claw portion insertion groove 21 into which the claw portions 41 of the conveying forks 50 and 60 having the same configuration can be inserted. Therefore, it is possible to carry luggage without any problem.
