Description

  The present invention relates to a tray used for transporting a substantially cylindrical workpiece and the like and a workpiece storage structure using the tray.

  Conventionally, it is known to use a tray capable of storing a plurality of workpieces when the plurality of workpieces are transported efficiently and safely. For example, as a tray for storing a substantially cylindrical workpiece having a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion, holes into which the small diameter portion of the workpiece can be inserted are formed in a matrix, and the small diameter portion is inserted into the hole to form a large diameter portion. What supports the lower surface side is known. In addition, in order to pack and accommodate a substantially cylindrical workpiece more closely with respect to the tray, a straight hole for supporting the large diameter portion of the workpiece at the surface position of the tray and the large diameter portion of the workpiece from the surface position of the tray There is a technique of alternately arranging stepped holes for supporting at an immersed position (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this case, the distance between adjacent workpieces can be reduced as much as possible in plan view.

JP 2010-105672 A

  However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, since the height position of the large-diameter portion of the workpiece is shifted, the height positions of the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the workpiece are also shifted, and the workpiece is stored. There is a concern that an extra space is required for the tray including the workpiece in the vertical direction. Furthermore, since there is nothing that supports the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion for the workpiece in which the small-diameter portion is inserted into the straight hole and the lower surface of the large-diameter portion is supported on the surface of the tray, the small-diameter portion is inserted into the stepped hole. Therefore, the stability in the housed state is lacking as compared with the work in which the lower surface and the outer peripheral surface of the large diameter portion are supported. Therefore, when the workpieces are installed as much as possible, there is a concern that adjacent workpieces may collide with each other due to vibrations during transportation.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems and the like, and an object thereof is to provide a tray capable of efficiently and stably transporting and storing a substantially cylindrical workpiece, and a tray. An object of the present invention is to provide a storage structure for a work using a slab.

  In the following, each means suitable for solving the above-described problems will be described in terms of items. In addition, the effect etc. peculiar to the means to respond | correspond as needed are added.

Means 1. A large-diameter portion and a tray in which a plurality of installation portions capable of installing a substantially cylindrical workpiece having a small-diameter portion having the same central axis as the large-diameter portion are formed in a matrix,
Each installation part is
A support hole having a circular shape in plan view in which a small diameter portion of the workpiece can be inserted;
A support receiving portion capable of supporting the lower surface side of the large-diameter portion of the work in which the small-diameter portion is inserted into the support hole;
A support protrusion capable of supporting the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion of the workpiece having the small-diameter portion inserted into the support hole;
While the height positions of the support receiving parts of all the installation parts are unified,
Each of the support protrusions is erected in a state of being separated from each other ,
The outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion of each workpiece can be supported by the plurality of support protrusions,
The tray is characterized in that each of the support protrusions is configured to come into contact with an outer peripheral surface of a large-diameter portion of a plurality of workpieces in which small-diameter portions are inserted into the support holes adjacent to each other.

  According to the means 1, the support protrusion capable of supporting the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion of the workpiece is provided, and not only the lateral displacement of the small-diameter portion is prevented by the inner peripheral surface of the support hole, but also the support The protrusion can prevent the large-diameter portion from shifting in the lateral direction. Therefore, it is possible to improve the stability of the installation state of the workpieces stored in the tray.

  Furthermore, the height positions of the support receiving parts of all the installation parts are unified, and the large-diameter part is supported at the same height position regardless of the installation part. Thereby, the height position of the upper end part and lower end part of the workpiece | work accommodated in the tray can also be arrange | equalized. Therefore, for example, there is a concern that an extra installation space for the tray including the workpiece in the state in which the workpiece is stored is required in the vertical direction as in the case where the height positions of the workpieces stored in the tray are not aligned. As a result, it is possible to improve the transport efficiency, storage efficiency, and the like of the work transported / stored using the tray.

  In addition, since the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter part of the workpiece is supported by the surrounding support protrusions, a wall that surrounds the entire outer periphery of the large-diameter part is provided (the large-diameter part can be inserted). Compared to the case where the areas where the large-diameter portions are installed are completely separated from each other by arranging parallel cylindrical portions or holes where large-diameter portions can be inserted. The large diameter parts of the workpieces installed in the installation part to be arranged can be arranged closer to each other. Furthermore, since each support protrusion is configured to be able to contact the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion of a plurality of workpieces, the number of support protrusions can be reduced, and the work can be used as a work installation space. Therefore, the number of works that can be installed per unit area can be increased as much as possible, and as a result, the works can be efficiently stored.

  It can also be expressed as “the outer peripheral surfaces of the large-diameter portion of the work in which the small-diameter portion is inserted into the support holes adjacent to each other face each other”.

Mean 2. When transporting and storing workpieces with small-diameter portions protruding from both axial ends of the large-diameter portion,
Two trays described in the above means 1 are used,
A pair of the trays are vertically arranged opposite to each other so that the tips of the support protrusions abut each other (overlap),
While inserting the upper and lower small diameter portions of the workpiece in the state where the axial direction extends in the vertical direction, respectively, into the support holes of the pair of upper and lower trays,
A workpiece storage structure in which a large-diameter portion of a workpiece is accommodated in a space surrounded by the plurality of support protrusions.

  According to the means 2, the pair of upper and lower small diameter portions of the work projecting the small diameter portion from the both axial ends of the large diameter portion can be positioned by being inserted into the support holes of the pair of upper and lower trays, respectively. For this reason, the sense of stability of the work stored in the tray can be further enhanced.

  Further, the large-diameter portion of the workpiece is accommodated in a space surrounded by the support receiving portion and the support protrusion of the lower tray and the support receiving portion and the support protrusion of the upper tray. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent a situation in which the workpiece jumps up from the tray due to vibration or the like when the workpiece is transported, and the workpiece is damaged or the workpiece is dropped from the tray. Can do.

  Further, by sandwiching the workpiece between the upper and lower trays, the workpiece can be turned upside down relatively easily and safely. Therefore, for example, for the manufacture and inspection of workpieces, it is relatively speedy to handle such as turning over so that the target part of the workpiece is exposed on the upper side, and turning over so that the workpiece is in a more stable orientation for shipping. This can be performed accurately, and the efficiency in manufacturing, inspection, shipping, etc. can be increased.

  It should be noted that the pair of trays that are opposed to each other in the vertical direction (stacked facing up and down) do not have to be exactly the same tray. What is necessary is just to be able to arrange oppositely. For example, one tray is provided with legs that protrude downward from the vicinity of the four corners of the lower surface, and the upper tray and the lower tray have different diameters of support holes and heights of the parts constituting the support holes. It may be.

  “The tray includes an engaging portion and an engaged portion, and when the pair of trays are vertically disposed opposite to each other, the engaging portion of one of the trays is It is good also as engaging with a to-be-engaged part. In this case, it is possible to more reliably prevent the positional deviation between the pair of trays arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction. For example, a situation in which the pair of upper and lower trays are displaced from side to side to adversely affect the workpiece. Can be reliably avoided. In particular, when it is necessary to turn the workpiece upside down in order to perform some work or processing, the stability of the workpiece installation state at that time can be dramatically improved.

Means 3. A pair of upper and lower trays arranged to face each other so that the tips of the support protrusions are abutted with each other, and a container capable of accommodating a work housed between the pair of upper and lower trays;
The tray, and a lid capable of closing the opening of the container containing the workpiece,
The work storage structure according to claim 2, further comprising a tray support portion that supports a lower surface of a lower tray of the pair of upper and lower trays at a position spaced from the bottom surface of the container.

  According to the means 3, the workpiece can be transported and stored more safely. Moreover, even if the work accommodated (held) in the tray protrudes from the tray, the work can be separated so that the work does not contact the bottom surface of the container. Therefore, the shape of the tray itself is complicated, such as thickening the tray or forming legs on the tray so that the workpiece that protrudes from the tray does not come into contact with other members (for example, not to ground). Can be avoided. As a result, tray weight reduction, resource saving, versatility, productivity improvement, cost reduction, and the like can be achieved. In addition, by covering the container, it is possible to carry and store the containers in a state where the work and the tray are accommodated in the vertical direction.

The support protrusion 14 is configured to substantially abut against and support the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion 52 of the workpiece 51 in which the portion 54 is inserted.

  The installation unit 11 will be described more specifically. A plurality of cylindrical bodies 15 (see FIG. 5 and the like) penetrating vertically are arranged in a matrix along the longitudinal direction and the short direction of the tray 2. The outer peripheral surfaces are connected to each other. As shown in FIG. 12 and the like, the inner diameter of the cylindrical body 15 is larger than the diameter of the first small diameter portion 53 and the diameter of the second small diameter portion 54. In the present embodiment, the “support hole 12” is configured by the hole formed inside the cylindrical body 15, and the first small diameter portion 53 and the second small diameter portion 54 of the work 51 are inserted into the support hole 12. It has become so.

  The inner diameter of the cylindrical body 15 is smaller than that of the large diameter portion 52. In the present embodiment, the “support receiving portion 13” is configured by the upper surface of the cylindrical body 15, and the lower surface of the large-diameter portion 52 of the work 51 (the first small-diameter portion 53 or the support hole 12) with respect to the support receiving portion 13.

Furthermore, the height positions of the upper end portion and the lower end portion of all the cylindrical bodies 15 constituting the tray 2 are unified. For this reason, when the workpiece 51 having the same shape is installed in the installation unit 11 in the same direction, the height position of the large-diameter portion 52 of the workpiece 51 installed in any installation unit 11, and thus the upper end of the workpiece 51. And the height position of the lower end is also unified. Further, the outer diameter of the cylindrical body 15 is the same as or slightly larger than that of the large diameter portion 52. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11 and the like, the work 51 in which the first small diameter portion 53 or the second small diameter portion 54 is inserted into the support hole 12 and the large diameter portion 52 is supported by the support receiving portion 13 may be severely inclined. If there is not, it is comprised so that the workpiece | work 51 installed in the mutually adjacent installation part 11 may not contact.

  As shown in FIG. 6 and the like, the cylindrical body 15 of the present embodiment is a straight line connecting the center portions of the four cylindrical bodies 15 arranged two by two along the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the tray 2. Are arranged so that squares are drawn. Further, the support protrusion 14 of the present embodiment is provided so as to protrude upward from an area surrounded by the four cylindrical bodies 15, and is supported by being inserted into the four cylindrical bodies 15. It is configured to be able to contact the outer peripheral surface of the work 51. The support protrusion 14 is housed in a region surrounded by the four cylindrical bodies 15 in a plan view and does not enter the inner peripheral side of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 15. Further, the plurality of support protrusions 14 are separated from each other so that the outer peripheral surfaces of the large-diameter portion 52 of the work 51 installed in the installation portions 11 adjacent to each other face each other. In addition, among the workpieces 52 in which the first small-diameter portion 53 or the second small-diameter portion 54 is inserted into the support hole 12, four large-diameter portions 52 supported by the support receiving portion 13 surround the large-diameter portion 52. It is comprised so that it may not contact | abut all the support protrusions 14 simultaneously. In the present embodiment, basically, if the work 51 does not tilt, the large diameter portion 52 can be in a relative position where it does not contact any of the support protrusions 14.

  As shown in FIGS. 4, 5, etc., the tray 2 includes a substantially rectangular frame-shaped frame portion 16, and the plurality of cylindrical bodies 15 arranged in the above matrix form are arranged on the inner periphery of the frame portion 16. It is provided to fill the side. The frame portion 16 includes an upper wall portion 17 extending in the horizontal direction so that the upper surface thereof is at the same height as the upper surface of the support protrusion 14, and a lower portion of the upper wall portion 17 from the edge on the outer peripheral side of the tray 2. The outer wall 18 extends so that the lower edge is at the same height as the lower edge of the cylindrical body 15. Moreover, the connecting wall which connects between the cylindrical body 15 arrange | positioned most at the outer peripheral side of the tray 2 and the upper wall part 17 of the frame part 16 among the some cylindrical bodies 15 arrange | positioned at matrix form. A part 19 is provided. However, the connecting wall portion 19 is not connected to the upper surface of the cylindrical body 15 but is connected to the outer surface of the cylindrical body 15, and the upper surface of the cylindrical body 15, that is, the support is supported by the connecting wall portion 19. It is comprised so that the receiving part 13 may not be crushed.

  Even if the tray 2 is a single unit, it is possible to install the workpieces 51 in the respective installation units 11 and transport the plurality of workpieces 51 together. However, in the present embodiment, FIG. 1, FIG. 8, FIG. As shown in Fig. 2, two trays 2 are used, and the trays 2 are stacked in the vertical direction so that the upper surfaces (installation surfaces) of the trays 2 face each other, and the workpiece 51 is transported in a state of being stored so as to be sandwiched in the vertical direction. It can be done. In this way, in the state where the work 51 is stored in the pair of upper and lower trays 2, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the tips of the support protrusions 14 of the pair of upper and lower trays 2 are abutted to each other. The diameter portion 52 is accommodated in a space surrounded by the plurality of support protrusions 14, and the upper and lower small diameter portions 53 and 54 of the work 51 are respectively inserted into the support holes 12 of the pair of upper and lower trays 2. ing. In this embodiment, the large-diameter portion 52 of the work 51 is surrounded by the space surrounded by the support protrusions 14 of the lower tray 2 and the support protrusions 14 of the upper tray 2 among the pair of upper and lower trays 2. Are accommodated so as to exist in both of the spaces (substantially using both spaces), and the positional deviation is caused by both the support protrusion 14 of the lower tray 2 and the support protrusion 14 of the upper tray 2. It is to be prevented.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the vicinity of the four corners of the upper surface of the tray 2, an engagement protrusion 21 as an engagement portion protruding upward from the upper wall portion 17 of the frame portion 16, and the upper wall portion 17 An engagement hole 22 is provided as an engaged portion that penetrates through. More specifically, the engagement protrusion 21 is provided corresponding to the left corner when the short side portion of the tray 2 is viewed from the outer peripheral side of the tray 2 to the front, and the engagement hole 22 is provided corresponding to the right corner. It has been. And it is comprised so that the engagement protrusion 21 of one tray 2 may fit in the engagement hole 22 of the other tray 2 by overlapping a pair of tray 2 up and down facing each other. Thereby, the position shift between the trays 2 stacked vertically is prevented, and the state in which the tips of the support protrusions 14 of the pair of upper and lower trays 2 are held together is maintained.

  As shown in FIG. 8 and the like, the container 3 has a box shape that opens upward, and as shown in FIG. 7, a pair of upper and lower trays arranged to face each other so that the tips of the support protrusions 14 abut each other. 2 and the workpiece 51 accommodated between the pair of upper and lower trays 2 are configured to be accommodated. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 8, a tray support portion that supports the lower surface of the lower tray 2 of the pair of upper and lower trays 2 at a position separated from the bottom surface of the container 3 is provided inside the container 3. The support rib 31 is formed.

  In the present embodiment, the vertical width of the cylindrical body 15 of the tray 2 is configured to be shorter than the lengths of the first small diameter portion 53 and the second small diameter portion 54 of the work 51. For this reason, the first small diameter portion 53 and the second small diameter portion 54 of the work 51 accommodated in the tray 2 protrude downward from the lower surface of the lower tray 2 and protrude upward from the upper surface of the upper tray 2. It will be. In this regard, the tray 2 accommodated in the container 3 is supported by the support ribs 31, so that the lower end portion of the work 51 accommodated in the tray 2 (the distal end portion of the first small diameter portion 53 or the second small diameter portion 54, FIG. 3, the tip end portion of the first small diameter portion 53 is separated from the bottom surface of the container 3 so as not to contact.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the lid 4 is configured to be able to close the opening of the container 3 containing the pair of upper and lower trays 2 and the work 51. In particular, in the present embodiment, the lid 4 covers the container 3. The lid 4 and the work 51 accommodated in the container 3 are configured not to contact each other. In addition, on the lower surface side of the lid 4, a fitting portion 41 is provided along the outer peripheral edge of the lid 4 so that the upper side portion of the container 3 can be inserted inward. It is to be prevented. Further, on the upper surface side of the lid 4, a positioning convex portion 42 that protrudes upward along the outer peripheral edge is provided, and when the container 3 is placed above the lid 4, Thus, the positioning convex portion 42 is disposed opposite to the horizontal direction. Thereby, when the tray 2 containing the workpieces 51 is accommodated and the containers 3 with the lids 4 are stacked up and down, the positional deviation of the containers 3 is prevented.

  As shown in FIGS. 4, 8, and the like, a recess 24 that is recessed toward the inner peripheral side of the tray 2 is formed at the center of the pair of short sides of the tray 2. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 7, in the state where the tray 2 is accommodated in the container 3, a hand can be inserted into the lower surface side of the tray 2 through the concave portion 24. Therefore, the tray 2 can be taken in and out relatively easily with respect to the container 3.

  As described above in detail, according to the present embodiment, the tray 2 that stores the work 51 is provided with the support protrusions 14 that can support the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion 52 of the work 51. In addition to preventing the first small-diameter portion 53 or the second small-diameter portion 54 from shifting in the lateral direction by the inner peripheral surface, the support protrusion 14 also prevents the large-diameter portion 52 from moving in the lateral direction. Can do. Therefore, the stability of the installation state of the work 51 accommodated in the tray 2 can be enhanced.

  Furthermore, the height positions of the support receiving portions 13 of all the installation portions 11 are unified, and the large diameter portion 52 is supported at the same height position when the workpiece 51 is installed in any installation portion 11. It becomes. Thereby, the height positions of the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the work 51 accommodated in the tray 2 can also be aligned. Therefore, for example, as in the case where the height positions of the workpieces 51 accommodated in the tray 2 are not aligned, extra installation space for the tray 2 including the workpieces 51 in the state in which the workpieces 51 are accommodated is required in the vertical direction. As a result, the transport efficiency and storage efficiency of the work 51 transported and stored using the tray 2 can be improved.

  Further, since the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion 52 of the work 51 is supported by the support protrusions 14 around the workpiece 51, a wall portion surrounding the entire outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion 52 is provided (large-diameter The area where the large-diameter part 52 is installed is completely isolated for each installation part 11 by arranging the cylindrical part into which the part 52 can be inserted side by side or by arranging the hole part through which the large-diameter part 52 can be inserted side by side. The large-diameter portions 52 of the workpieces 51 installed in the installation portions 11 adjacent to each other can be arranged closer to each other than in the case of (if). Furthermore, since each support protrusion 14 is configured to be able to contact the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion 52 of the plurality of workpieces 51, the number of the support protrusions 14 is reduced and used as the installation space for the work 51 accordingly. Can do. Therefore, the number of workpieces 51 that can be installed per unit area can be increased as much as possible, and as a result, the workpieces 51 can be efficiently stored.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first small-diameter portion 53 and the second small-diameter portion of the work 51 are stacked by using the two trays 2 and stacking the tray 2 up and down so that the front ends of the support protrusions 14 abut each other. The portions 54 can be positioned by being inserted into the support holes 12 of the pair of upper and lower trays 2. For this reason, the sense of stability of the work 51 stored in the tray 2 can be further enhanced.

  The large diameter portion 52 of the workpiece 51 is accommodated in a space surrounded by the support receiving portion 13 and the support protrusion 14 of the lower tray 2 and the support receiving portion 13 and the support protrusion 14 of the upper tray 2. It will be. As a result, the work 51 jumps up from the tray 2 due to vibration or the like when the work 51 is transported, and the work 51 is damaged or the work 51 is dropped from the tray 2. Can be reliably prevented.

  Further, by sandwiching the workpiece 51 up and down by the pair of upper and lower trays 2, the workpiece 51 can be turned upside down relatively easily and safely. Therefore, for example, for the manufacture / inspection of the workpiece 51, the comparison is made such that the target part of the workpiece 51 is turned over so as to be exposed upward, and the shipment is turned over so that the workpiece 51 has a more stable orientation for shipping. Speedy and accurate, and can increase efficiency in manufacturing, inspection, shipping, and the like.

  In addition, by preparing two identical trays 2 and stacking them facing each other up and down, for example, when the shapes of the pair of upper and lower trays 2 are different from each other, there is a risk of assembly errors. It is possible to avoid situations such as requiring space or two molds, improving workability when storing the work 51, reducing storage space, reducing manufacturing costs, etc. it can.

  In addition, the tray 2 includes an engagement protrusion 21 and an engagement hole 22, and when the pair of trays 2 are vertically opposed to each other, the engagement protrusion 21 of one tray 2 is engaged with the other tray 2. It is adapted to be engaged with the joint hole 22. For this reason, it is possible to more reliably prevent the positional deviation between the pair of trays 2 arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction. For example, the workpiece 51 is adversely affected by the positional deviation of the pair of upper and lower trays 2 from side to side. It is possible to reliably avoid such a situation. In particular, when it is necessary to turn the workpiece 51 upside down in order to perform some work or processing, the stability of the installation state of the workpiece 51 at that time can be dramatically improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the pair of upper and lower trays 2 and the work 51 accommodated between the pair of upper and lower trays 2 are accommodated in the container 3, and the work 51 is transported in a state where the lid 4 is further attached. It is configured to be able to. For this reason, the work 51 can be transported and stored more safely. Further, by providing the support rib 31 that supports the tray 2 accommodated in the container 3 at a position separated from the bottom surface of the container 3, the work 51 accommodated (held) in the tray 2 protruded from the tray 2. However, the workpiece 51 can be separated so as not to contact the bottom surface of the container 3. Accordingly, the tray 2 itself is made thicker or the legs are formed on the tray 2 so that the workpiece 51 protruding from the tray 2 does not come into contact with other members (for example, so as not to ground). It is possible to avoid complicating the shape. As a result, the tray 2 can be reduced in weight, resource saving, versatility, productivity improvement, cost reduction, and the like. In addition, by covering the lid 4, the container 3 in a state where the work 51 and the tray 2 are accommodated can be stacked and transported / stored.

  In addition, it is not limited to the description content of the said embodiment, For example, you may implement as follows. Of course, other application examples and modification examples not illustrated below are also possible.

  (A) In the said embodiment, the workpiece | work 51 accommodated in the tray 2 is not specifically limited, Comprising: It comprises a large diameter part and a small diameter part smaller in diameter than a large diameter part, It is sufficient that one end portion is a small diameter portion. Moreover, the workpiece | work 51 does not necessarily need to be provided with the large diameter part and the small diameter part as a product, for example, the cyclic | annular member used as a large diameter part with respect to a columnar product (for conveyance etc.). The attached one may be a workpiece.

  In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the tray 2 is combined in a pair of upper and lower sides, and further, the pair of upper and lower trays 2 is accommodated in the container 3 and is transported in a state where the lid 4 is covered. However, it is not particularly limited to such a configuration. For example, a plurality of trays 2 can be installed in a plurality of stages above and below (a plurality of rails extending in the front-rear direction that can support both sides of the lower surface of the tray 2 are provided vertically), both sides of the lower surface of the tray 2 It is also possible to transport the tray 2 using a belt conveyor or the like that can support the section. Moreover, even if the tray 2 is used in a set, for example, a pair of trays 2 are accommodated inside a carry-back or the like and the tray 2 is in a standing state, the workpiece 51 is transported relatively safely. -It may be stored. In addition, the pair of trays 2 that face each other up and down may not be the same tray 2, and when they face each other, they can be arranged to face each other so that the tips of the support protrusions 14 face each other. It only has to be like this. For example, one tray is provided with leg portions that protrude downward from the vicinity of the four corners of the lower surface, the upper tray and the lower tray have different heights and inner diameters, or the support protrusions 14. May be different (there is also a support protrusion 14 having no pair that is abutted up and down).

  Regarding the arrangement of the installation portions 11 (support holes 12), for example, the support holes 12 are arranged in a straight line in the longitudinal direction of the tray 2, and the predetermined rows of the support holes 12 extending in the longitudinal direction of the tray 2 are arranged. With respect to the row of support holes 12 adjacent to each other in the short direction of the tray 2, the formation position of the support holes 12 is about a half pitch with one center between the centers of the support holes 12 in the longitudinal direction of the tray 2. Although it may be configured to be shifted, from the viewpoint of storing and transporting as many workpieces 51 as possible in the substantially rectangular tray 2, as in the above embodiment, the longitudinal direction and the short side of the tray 2 are used. In either direction, it is desirable that the rows of the support holes 12 extend in a straight line.

  (B) In the above embodiment, when the work 51 is stored in the pair of upper and lower trays 2, the large-diameter portion 52 of the work 51 is surrounded by the support protrusions 14 of the lower tray 2 among the trays 2 stacked vertically. And the space surrounded by the support protrusions 14 of the upper tray 2, for example, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the support protrusions 14 of the lower tray 2 A configuration in which the large-diameter portion 52 is substantially contained in the enclosed space (the height of the support protrusion 14 is substantially the same as the length of the large-diameter portion 52 in the axial direction) may be employed.

  (C) In the above embodiment, the engagement protrusion 21 and the engagement hole 22 are provided in the tray 2, and the engagement protrusion 21 of one tray 2 is overlapped with the other by overlapping the pair of trays 2. The engagement holes 22 of the trays 2 are configured to be engaged with each other. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and the positional deviation between the pair of trays 2 can be reduced by another structure or method. It may be prevented. For example, it may be locked by a locking piece having a locking claw, tightened by a bolt or a screw, or bound by a belt, a buckle or the like. The engaging protrusion 21 and the engaging hole 22 can be omitted.

  (D) In the above embodiment, the support ribs 31 are integrally formed in the container 3 as the tray support part that supports the lower surface of the tray 2, but the shape and arrangement of the tray support part are particularly limited. Instead, for example, a flange-like protrusion protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the container 3 may be used. Further, the tray support portion may be configured to be exchangeable as a separate body from the container 3 or the like. When configured as a separate body, it is possible to respond flexibly when there is a change in the workpiece 51 or the like (for example, the formation position of the large-diameter portion 52 in the longitudinal direction of the workpiece 51 to be stored is different). .

  In the above embodiment, “a lower end abuts on the upper surface of the upper tray 2 out of the pair of upper and lower trays 2 accommodated in the container 3, and a spacer is provided on which the upper end abuts on the lower surface of the lid 4. 3, the pair of upper and lower trays 2 may be sandwiched between the tray support portion and the spacer ”. In this case, vibrations during transportation of the tray 2 and by extension, the workpiece 51 can be suppressed, and the workpiece 51 can be transported more safely.

  Furthermore, a “locking member that locks between the container 3 and the lid 4 covered on the container 3” may be provided. In this case, the effect of sandwiching the tray 2 between the container 3 and the lid 4 is more reliably achieved. In addition, “the tray support portion (and spacer) may be provided on the bottom surface of the container 3 via an elastic body (spring, elastic piece, rubber, etc.)”. In this case, the effect of sandwiching the tray 2 can be further enhanced, the effect of absorbing vibrations outside the container 3 and the like can be expected, and the case where the thickness of the tray 2 is changed can be dealt with. In addition, when employ | adopting the said structure, it is desirable to comprise a tray support part and a spacer so that a shape and a magnitude | size can be changed so that attachment or detachment is possible.

  (E) In the above embodiment, the tray 2, the container 3, and the lid 4 are made of polypropylene, but may be made of other materials such as polyethylene, PET, polyamide, and the like. Moreover, it is not necessary to unify the materials and colors of the tray 2, the container 3, and the lid 4, and can be selected as appropriate. For example, a part of the container 3 may be made transparent so that the inside can be confirmed.
