DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a collective packaging apparatus for stacking a plurality of trays on which small electronic components and the like are placed and collectively binding them.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional collective packaging apparatus of this type will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 7 denotes a flat plate made of a veneer plate or the like, 8 denotes a pallet, 9 denotes a band, and electronic components (not shown) such as speakers are placed on the flat plate 7, and the flat plates 7 are stacked in a plurality of stages. It is mounted on a pallet 8 and bound using a band 9 or wound around a film and bound for packaging.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, the flat plate 7 becomes considerably large when electronic parts such as speakers are mounted, and cannot be used when the work space is narrow, and cannot be used. However, it is also difficult to place the electronic components on the flat plate 7 and the workability is poor.

In addition, since the configuration is such that electronic components are merely mounted on the flat plate 7, the fixing state is poor, and there is also a quality problem that it cannot be used when distribution conditions such as handling and transport distance are poor. .

[0005] It is an object of the present invention to solve such a problem and to provide a collective packaging apparatus with improved handling, workability and reliability.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a collective packaging apparatus according to the present invention comprises a plate-shaped main body having a peripheral portion having an inverted concave cross section thicker than a central portion, and a central portion of the main body. A plurality of storage portions provided, a handle portion provided by notching a part of the peripheral portion, a coupling concave portion provided by notching a portion of the peripheral portion, and a portion of the peripheral portion A tray provided with a projection for engaging with the coupling recess and having a lower end of the projection protruding from a lower end of the peripheral portion; and a tray for coupling the tray. The pallet includes a pallet provided with a connection hole into which the projection at the lower end of the projection fits. The tray is engaged with the pallet, and the product is stored in a storage portion provided on the tray.

[0007]

With this configuration, the electronic components can be securely fixed by providing the tray with the storage sections for individually storing the electronic components, and the reliability can be improved.

[0008] Further, by providing a connection concave portion and a connection convex portion that fits in the peripheral portion of the tray, the work is performed in a state where the tray is segmented. Can be easily connected to each other to form a large form, and the handling and workability can be improved.

[0009]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 (a), 1 (b) and 1 (c) are a plan view, a front view and a side view, respectively, showing a tray according to the embodiment. In FIG. The formed tray main body, 2 is a storage portion for storing electronic components, and 3a to 3d are handle portions formed by cutting out a part of a peripheral edge portion for handling of lifting the tray, 4a.
Reference numerals 4a to 4d denote connection recesses provided by cutting out a part of the peripheral edge, and reference numerals 5a to 5d denote connection projections provided similarly protruding from a part of the peripheral edge, and cut the connection recesses 4a to 4d. It is formed so that the part protruding in the notch shape fits and fits.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the two trays shown in FIG. 1 are connected, and connection recesses 4a, 4b and connection protrusions 5b, 5a provided on the peripheral edge of the tray are respectively related. And two trays are integrated with each other, and thus the connecting recesses 4a to 4
The number of trays can be easily increased or decreased by using d and the connecting protrusions 5a to 5d, and a tray of any size can be easily prepared.

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a pallet 6 for mounting the tray described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The pallet 6 has connecting projections 5a to 5d provided on the tray.
A connecting hole 6a into which the lower end of the tray fits is provided at a predetermined position. In FIG. 3, the connecting tray 6 is formed to have a size in which the four trays are connected to each other, and the loaded tray is inserted into the connecting hole 6a. The lower ends of the connecting projections 5a to 5d of the tray are fitted and connected to be connected.

In the collective packaging apparatus of the present invention configured as described above, first, electronic components are stored in the storage portion 2 of the tray, and the electronic components are placed at predetermined positions on the pallet 6 with the handle portions 3a to 3d of the tray. At the same time, the lower ends of the connection projections 5a to 5d of the tray are fitted into the connection holes 6a of the pallet 6 for connection.
At this time, since the handle portions 3a to 3d of the tray are formed by cutting out a part of the peripheral portion formed thicker than the thickness of the tray body 1, it is easy to insert a finger, and the workability is good.

Next, another tray is prepared and electronic components are stored in the storage section 2, and this tray is placed on the pallet 6 in the same manner as described above.
And the connecting concave portions 4a to 4d and the connecting convex portions 5a to 5c of the tray already connected to the pallet 6.
Connecting recesses 4a to 4d of the tray to be connected to 5d
In addition, the engaging portions of the connecting projections 5a to 5d are respectively fitted and connected.

Thereafter, the above operation is repeated to combine a predetermined number of trays containing electronic components on the pallet 6 and, if necessary, to stack and combine similar trays thereon, finally forming a desired tray. When the state is reached, it is assembled and bound using a band or film (not shown).

[0015]

As described above, the collective packaging apparatus according to the present invention is excellent in handling and workability, and not only ensures the trays or the connection between the trays and the pallets, but also provides the tray with a storage section. The components can be reliably protected and reliability can be improved.

Further, since the tray has a shape close to a flat plate, it can be easily stacked and does not take up space, so that the tray can be used together with a pallet, thereby contributing to a reduction in the total cost of distribution. .
