Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention is a pallet for placing and transporting heavy articles, and more specifically, the present invention is a pallet for placing and transporting heavy articles, and more specifically, it is possible to move the placed articles at least back and forth and/or left and right on a base member. This invention relates to a pallet in which the position of articles can be adjusted without changing the position of the base member.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as a method of transporting a coiled article made by winding a wide unprocessed long sheet of paper, metal sheet, metal foil, etc. into a roll shape, to a processing machine,
Usually, coiled articles are placed on a pallet, a conveying device equipped with forks that can be inserted into the bottom space of the pallet is operated, the forks of the conveying device are inserted into the bottom space of the pallet, and then lifted up and the articles are removed together with the pallet. A commonly used method is to transport the workpiece to the operating range of the support arm of the processing machine, and then transfer it to the support arm of the processing machine.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, since the position of the support arm of the processing machine or the range of movement of the support arm is restricted, when transferring the coiled article, it is necessary to Even a slight misalignment of the coil article has a great effect on workability, and since the coil article is quite heavy, it requires a great deal of effort and time to correct its position.

The present invention provides a pallet having a function that allows smooth adjustment of the position of a heavy article as described above with little effort.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention includes a plurality of rollers or steel balls rotatably disposed on the upper surface side of a base member having a fork insertion space on the lower surface, and a plurality of rollers or steel balls placed on the base member. A table having a planar shape slightly larger than that of the base member is placed so as to be movable at least in the front-back direction, and the four edges of the table are integrally provided with hanging walls that can come into contact with the four opposite end surfaces of the base member. The position of the article placed on the table can be adjusted on the base member.

(Function) The pallet consisting of the base member and the table has the function of transporting the articles placed on the pallet together with the pallet to a predetermined location by a conveying device equipped with a fork, similar to the conventional pallet. A roller or steel ball interposed between the table and the member allows the table to move back and forth and/or left and right, or in the direction of turning on a horizontal plane, facilitating the adjustment of the position of the article placed on the table. .

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be explained below based on drawings showing an embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 1 and 2 show a pallet whose position can be adjusted in the front and back direction,
In the figure, 1 is a base member, and 2 is a table for placing articles. The base member 1 has a flat tray shape with a peripheral wall 3, and a plurality of rollers 4, 4 is rotatably supported with its upper circumferential surface protruding above the circumferential wall 3, and on the lower surface side of the base member 1,
As shown in FIG.
leg members 5 for forming insertion spaces 1 and 11;
5. On the other hand, the table 2 is slightly larger than the base member 1, and has a lid shape with a peripheral wall 6 extending downward on the periphery, and the lower surface of the table 2 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the group of rollers 4, and the base member 1, so that the table 2 can move back and forth relative to the base member 1 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of each roller 4, 4.

Figures 4 and 5 show an embodiment in which a plurality of steel balls are used in place of the roller 4, and the table 2 is configured to be able to move freely in the front and back, left and right directions, or in the turning direction on a horizontal plane. It shows. That is, on the upper surface of the base member 1 in the above embodiment, a plurality of steel balls 8, 8, which are held rotatably in any direction by a retainer 7, are regularly arranged in the front, rear, left and right directions, and the lower surface of the table 2 is Each steel ball 8,8
This shows an embodiment in which the pallet is placed on the base member 1 so as to be in contact with the upper surface of the base member 1, and is used as a pallet for placing articles 12, as shown in FIG.
According to this embodiment, by manipulating the table 2 to place the article 12 on the table 2, not only can the position of the article be adjusted in the front-back and left-right directions, but also the axis of the article can be adjusted, for example, in the case of a coil article. It is also possible to adjust the orientation.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, the pallet for placing and transporting articles according to the present invention consists of a base member having a fork insertion space on the lower surface, and a table whose planar shape is slightly larger than that of the base member. A table composed of two members is movably placed on the base member via a plurality of rollers or steel balls disposed on the base member, and four opposite end surfaces of the base member are attached to the four edges of the table. Since the table is integrally provided with a hanging wall part that can come into contact with the base member, the table can be freely moved and adjusted in the plane direction within the range where the hanging wall surface comes into contact with the end face of the base member. Therefore, for example, after transferring the above-mentioned coil article to a processing machine and placing the coil article together with a pallet in the transfer position to the support arm of the processing machine, the position of the coil article with respect to the support arm can be adjusted with a slight force. This can be done easily, and the labor required for correcting the position of the coil article can be significantly reduced.

In the examples, a coiled article is shown as an article to be placed and transported, but it can of course be conveniently applied to conveying other heavy objects, and it is also possible to place an article that easily rolls, such as a coiled article. If you do,
It is recommended to use a rolling prevention means on the top surface of the table.
