Description

  The present invention relates to a loading pallet storage method and storage apparatus, and a cargo handling pallet holding member used therefor, and more specifically, can be accommodated in an installation area corresponding to the number of cargo handling pallets accommodated and accommodated in a storage location. In addition, the present invention relates to a cargo handling pallet accommodation method and a storage device, and a cargo handling pallet holding member used therein.

  In general, a cargo handling pallet is formed in a rectangular plate shape with a predetermined thickness in plan view, and includes a wooden one and a synthetic resin one (see, for example, Patent Document 1). These cargo handling pallets are generally used with a width of about 110 cm and a thickness of about 13 cm, and a fork insertion hole is provided on the side surface. When these cargo handling pallets are used, a fork such as a forklift is inserted into the insertion hole and lifted with a large amount of cargo loaded on the upper surface, and the cargo is conveyed together with the cargo handling pallet.

JP 2002-265060 A

  When storing the above cargo handling pallet when not in use, it is usually stored in a predetermined storage location in a so-called flat state in which empty cargo handling pallets are stacked in a horizontal position on the floor surface. The For this reason, even in the case where the number of sheets is small, for example, one sheet, a large accommodation area equal to the projected area of the cargo handling pallet in plan view is required.

  Further, the above pallet for cargo handling is formed to be strong such as reinforced with a metal core so as not to bend due to the weight of the load, and the weight is as heavy as about 23 kg, for example. For this reason, when loading cargo handling pallets, when stacking on top of the stacked cargo handling pallets, the newly loaded cargo handling pallets must be lifted, especially when the number of stored cargo increases, Accordingly, it is necessary to lift it higher, and the housing operation is not easy. Furthermore, when taking out the cargo handling pallet from the above-mentioned storage place, it is necessary to take it out sequentially from the uppermost one of the cargo handling pallets that are stacked flatly. It is not easy to safely put it down on the mounting surface of a nearby cart.

  The technical problem of the present invention is to solve the above problems, and can be accommodated in an installation area corresponding to the number of cargo handling pallets accommodated, and can be easily accommodated in and taken out from the accommodating location. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pallet housing method, a housing apparatus, and a cargo handling pallet holding member used therefor.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention is described as follows, for example, based on FIGS. 1 to 4 showing an embodiment of the present invention.
That is, the present invention relates to a method for storing a cargo handling pallet, and supports a pallet receiving part (7) in which an empty cargo handling pallet (2) is stood and fixed to the pallet receiving part (7). The member (4) and the cargo handling pallet (2) accommodated adjacent to the member (4) are detachably connected by the connecting means (5), and the cargo handling pallets (7) adjacent to each other are accommodated. The pallets (2, 2) are detachably connected by a holding member (6).

  The present invention 2 also relates to a pallet accommodating device for cargo handling, a pallet accommodating portion (7) capable of accommodating an empty cargo handling pallet (2) in an upright state, and a support member (4) fixed to the pallet accommodating portion (7). ), A connecting means (5) for detachably connecting the support member (4) and the cargo handling pallet (2) accommodated in close proximity to the support member (4), and the pallet accommodating portion (7). A holding member (6) for detachably connecting adjacent cargo handling pallets (2, 2) is provided.

  The present invention 3 relates to a holding member for a cargo handling pallet, and includes a pair of claw portions (11) and a connection portion (12) for connecting both the claw portions (11, 11) to each other. The cargo handling pallet (2) arranged adjacent to each other can be removably inserted into each fork insertion hole (13).

  Since the above-mentioned cargo handling pallet is stored in the pallet storage section in an upright state, the installation area of one cargo handling pallet can be reduced as compared with the case where the pallet is stored in a horizontal posture. Housed in a small footprint. The cargo handling pallet accommodated in the pallet accommodating portion is supported by the support member by being connected by the connection means and the holding member, and is prevented from falling down. At this time, the weight of the cargo handling pallet is received by the lower pallet accommodating portion, and a large load due to the weight of the cargo handling pallet is not applied to the connecting means and the holding member.

  When the cargo handling pallet is accommodated in the pallet accommodating portion, the cargo handling pallet is carried in an upright state, or is brought into a standing state after being carried in a horizontal posture or the like. Next, when the cargo handling pallet is the first cargo handling pallet to be accommodated in the pallet accommodating portion, the cargo handling pallet is coupled to the support member by the coupling means. When another cargo handling pallet is already accommodated in the pallet accommodating portion, the newly loaded cargo handling pallet is accommodated adjacent to the accommodated cargo handling pallet, and both cargo handling pallets are accommodated by the holding member. They are connected to each other.

  When the above cargo handling pallets are taken out from the pallet housing part, the holding members are removed in order from the cargo handling pallet at the position farthest from the support member, and the cargo handling pallets are taken out one by one. Finally, the cargo handling pallet closest to the support member is taken out by removing the connecting means. Each of the cargo handling pallets thus taken out is placed in a standing posture or brought down to a horizontal posture, and placed, for example, on a placing surface of a carriage and carried out to a desired place.

  Said pallet accommodating part means the predetermined place where the pallet for cargo handling is accommodated, for example, the floor set arbitrarily may be sufficient. However, if this pallet accommodating part is constituted by the upper surface of the accommodating table placed on the floor surface, the pallet accommodating part can be easily provided at an arbitrary place by moving the accommodating table. This is preferable because the risk of damage to the cargo handling pallet and the floor surface can be reduced. The storage platform can be made of any material such as a stainless steel plate, and the size of the storage platform is not limited as long as a predetermined number of cargo handling pallets can be stood up. Of course, both ends of the cargo handling pallet may protrude from the storage table.

  In the present invention 1 or 2, the support member is not limited to a specific structure or arrangement as long as it can support the cargo handling pallet via the connecting means. For example, the support member may be directly fixed to the pallet housing part, or may be fixed to the pallet housing part via a nearby wall surface, that is, fixed to the wall surface near the pallet housing part. It may be what you did.

  The support member may be provided along the left and right side edges of the standing cargo handling pallet. In this case, the support member and the side edge of the cargo handling pallet are connected to each other by the connecting means. However, when the support member includes a support portion arranged along the upper edge portion of the cargo handling pallet in the upright state, the upper edge portion of the cargo handling pallet, the lower end portion of which is supported by the pallet accommodating portion, is provided. It is possible to support the cargo handling pallet stably and surely through the connecting means, which is preferable.

  The connecting means is not limited to a specific shape or structure as long as it can detachably connect the supporting means and the cargo handling pallet accommodated in the vicinity thereof. For example, the connecting means may be connected and fixed to the supporting means so as to be swingable, and its tip end portion may be locked to the cargo handling pallet. However, it is preferable to use this connecting means also as the above-mentioned holding member because the number of types of parts used can be reduced by using the common member, and the cost can be reduced.

  In the first invention and the second invention described above, the holding member is not limited to a specific shape or structure as long as it can removably connect the cargo handling pallets. It may be one that can be engaged with or disengaged from the site. However, when this holding member is configured as in the present invention 3 described above, for example, it can be implemented with a simple structure at low cost, and the both claws are adjacent to each other only by inserting them into the fork insertion holes of the cargo handling pallet. It is preferable because the cargo handling pallets are easily connected to each other.

  In the third aspect of the present invention, it is only necessary that the two claw portions are connected by the connection portion with a dimension that allows insertion into the respective fork insertion holes of the cargo handling pallets adjacent to each other. However, if this connection part connects the above-mentioned claws to each other with a dimension approximately twice the wall thickness of the peripheral wall of the fork insertion hole of the cargo handling pallet, the cargo handling pallets adjacent to each other are held together. It is preferable that the members can be connected without rattling.

  The above holding member only needs to be strong enough to hold the cargo handling pallet so that it does not fall over. Further, spring elasticity may be provided so as to sandwich a pair of cargo handling pallets adjacent to each other.

  The holding member may be mounted at an arbitrary position on the cargo handling pallet in an upright state. For example, the holding member may be used to connect the left and right side edges. However, this holding member is connected at the position farthest from the lower end supported by the pallet receiving portion when the upper edge of the cargo handling pallet in the standing state is connected, so that the cargo handling pallet can be held stably and reliably. preferable.

  Since the present invention is configured and operates as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

  (1) Since the pallet storage unit stores the cargo handling pallet in an upright state, the installation area of one cargo handling pallet can be reduced compared with the case where the cargo handling pallet is stored in a horizontal posture. It can be accommodated in a small installation area. For example, in the case of a cargo handling pallet having a vertical and horizontal width of 110 cm and a thickness of 13 cm, the installation area is 110 cm × 13 cm × the number of sheets to be accommodated. The installation area is smaller than the case of doing so.

  (2) Since the lower part of the cargo handling pallet is supported by the floor surface or in the vicinity of the pallet receiving part, the cargo handling pallet can be lifted from the loading surface of the transport cart without being lifted or lowered from a high position. It can be unloaded and stored in the storage location, or can be easily taken out from the storage location and placed on the mounting surface. Therefore, the cargo handling pallet can be safely stored and removed from the storage location with a simple operation.
