Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to containers, particularly containers for powder fluids that can be used repeatedly.

(b) Conventional technology and its problems Conventionally, drums have been widely known as containers for transporting powdered fluids, but they have a small capacity, cannot use space effectively, and cannot be transported directly by forklift. . For this reason, for example, a cube-shaped container is known in which an inner container capable of being filled with objects to be transported and a frame for housing the inner container are fixed and integrated on a flat pallet.

However, in the conventional container,
Since the container continues to maintain a certain internal volume even when it is not filled with cargo, it requires a large storage space even after the cargo is removed, and when empty containers are returned for reuse. However, it also had the disadvantage of requiring a large amount of transportation space.

(c) Purpose of the invention The purpose of the invention was made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks. By disassembling and folding the side panels, supports, etc., when the container is not used or when being returned for reuse, the container saves storage and transportation space and provides a container with a solid structure. be.

(d) Structure of the invention In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the container according to the invention comprises a flat pallet, a support having a substantially L-shaped cross section that is removably erected at the corner of the flat pallet, and Four side panels that are removably installed around the upper surface of the pallet via the supports, and clamping fittings that removably clamp and integrate the upper corners of the side panels and the upper ends of the supports. a box body formed of a material to be transported, a bag body that accommodates an object to be transported and is housed in the box body, and a bag body with both ends removably latched to an upper corner of the box body and above the bag body. The structure includes a rope-like fastening body such as a wire rope or a chain stretched almost diagonally.

(e) Description of Examples Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings.

The first embodiment is applied to a cube-shaped container, and is composed of a box body 1, a bag body 20, and a lid body 30.

The box body 1 is formed by erecting side panels 15 on a flat pallet 2 via support columns 10 and clamping fittings 11.

That is, the flat pallet 2 is roughly configured in a pallet shape that can be transported by a forklift, and in order to erect the pillars 10, which will be described later, at the corners of the flat pallet 2, the erected portions are connected via metal fittings having a substantially U-shaped cross section. 6 is formed. Inside the flat pallet 2, one opening can be closed and the other opening can be opened and closed with a closing plate 5a cut out from the upper deck board 5, and there is a hollow part in which the pillars 10 can be stored. 4a is formed. Note that since the upper deck board 5 is flat, it will not damage the bag body 20.

The support column 10 is made of steel and has a substantially L-shaped cross section, and has a square pipe-shaped fitting part 10a that can be fitted into the above-mentioned upright part 6 at its lower end.

The clamping fitting 11 is used to prevent the side panel 15 erected along the column 10 from opening outward due to objects to be transported, which will be described later. It has a removable clamping and fixing structure. Further, the clamping fitting 11 has a locking shaft 11a that locks a fastening body 9, which will be described later. This fastening body 9 is made by integrally connecting the locking shaft 11a with a removable locking tool 9a on both ends of a wire rope 9b, thereby making the structure of the box body 1 firm. Note that the binding body 9 is not limited to being made of wire rope, and may be made of, for example, a chain.

Since the side panel 15 is made of FRP plywood in which the front and back surfaces of the plywood are covered with FRP, it is lightweight and has excellent rigidity, is easy to clean, and is resistant to scratches. Moreover, it has an insulating effect that prevents the temperature inside the container from rising due to direct sunlight.

In addition, reinforcing rib metal fittings 15c are fixed to the upper ends of the four side panels 15, and
A discharge port 2 of the bag body 20, which will be described later, is located at the center of the lower end of the sheet.
An opening 15a corresponding to No. 2 is formed by cutting out an opening 15a.

Also, a part of the side panel 15 is attached to the metal fitting 1 shown in FIG.
It may be one that can be divided into upper and lower parts by 6 or the like. By doing so, it becomes easy to check the current state of the contents when using the contents of the bag little by little.

The bag 20 is filled with an object to be transported, for example, a liquid,
It has a flexible structure made of rubber, plastic, etc. that changes its internal volume as it is discharged, and is provided with an inlet 21 in the upper center and an outlet 22 in the lower part. And the injection port 21
A lifting tool 21a is attached to the wire rope 9b to lift up the injection port 21, in order to prevent the injection port 21 from swinging and to facilitate removal when the object to be transported is not full.

The lid body 30 is made of FRP plywood whose upper surface is covered with FRP, and a rigid member having a substantially L-shaped cross section is fixed to the outer peripheral edge of the lid body 30 to form a rib portion 31 to prevent it from slipping off from the side panel 15. It has a structure.

Next, an example of a method for assembling and folding a container according to the present invention will be described.

First, the fitting part 10a of the support column 10 is fitted into the upright part 6 of the flat pallet 2 to stand it upright, while the side panel 1
5 and align it with the support 10,
The lower end corner of the side panel 15 is connected to the fitting part 10 of the support column 10.
After being placed on the top surface a, the upper corner of the side panel 15 and the upper end of the support column 10 are clamped and fixed by the clamping fittings 11 to form the box 1.

Since there are no protrusions on the outer surface of the box body 1, the containers can be closely arranged side by side, making effective use of space.

Next, the bag 20 is placed inside the box 1,
While storing, the locking tool 9a of the clamping body 9 is locked to the locking shaft 11a of the clamping fitting 11, and the two clamping bodies 9 are stretched diagonally. Furthermore, the lifting tool 21a of the injection port 21 is locked to the wire rope 9b to lift the injection port 21. Note that the bag body 20 is the box body 1.
Of course, when the device is stored inside the device, the outlet 22 should correspond to the opening 15a of the side panel 15.

After filling the bag body 20 with the objects to be transported through the injection port 21, the box body 1 is covered with the lid body 30. In addition, when transporting over long distances, use a fixed band (not shown).
The box body 1 and the lid body 30 may be integrated by winding them.

Next, after all the objects to be transported are discharged from the discharge port 22, the lid body 30 and the lifting tool 21a are removed.
The clamping fittings 11 are removed together with the fastening body 9, and the side panel 15 is disassembled. Then, the support 10 is placed on the upright portion 6.
The pillar 10 is removed from the pallet and inserted into the cavity 4a of the flat pallet 2, and the cavity 4a is closed with a closing plate 5a to prevent the pillar 10 from dissipating. Further, the bag body 20 is folded and compressed into a compact shape.

Finally, the bag body 20 and the four side panels 15 are placed on the flat pallet 2 one after another, the clamping fittings 11 integrated with the fastening body 9 are fitted into the upright part 6, and the lid body 30 is inserted from above. Place it.

In addition, when placing the bag body 20 on the flat pallet 2, if the inlet 21 and the outlet 22 are positioned in the cavity 4a that communicates with the closing plate 5a by removing the closing plate 5a,
It is convenient because it can prevent damage to the inlet 21 and the outlet 22, and it can be folded more compactly. Furthermore, the bag 20 may be disposable and discarded after one use.

Furthermore, if this container is to be used again, it can be assembled using the same steps as the above-mentioned assembly method.

According to this embodiment, even when the bag body 20 is filled with objects to be transported, there is no protrusion on the side panel 15 etc. that would damage the bag body 20, so there is no leakage of liquid materials, and when the bag body 20 is re-transported, However, the bag body 20 is not damaged, and the overall period of use can be greatly extended.

Moreover, since the support column 10 and the side panel 15 are present, and the side panel 15 is not opened outward by the wire rope, the bag body 20 is not directly subjected to an external load by the box body 1, and stacking is possible. While it is possible, if all the items to be transported are removed,
Since it can be made into a compact shape, it saves storage space for empty containers and transportation space when returning them.

In the second embodiment, whereas the clamping fitting 11 in the first embodiment described above only has the function of clamping and fixing the support column 10 and the side panel 15,
In this case, the clamping fittings 11 have not only the clamping and fixing function but also the positioning function when stacking other containers (FIG. 6).

That is, the clamping fitting 11 according to this embodiment is
It has a convex portion 11b for positioning the upper container to be stacked around the end portion slightly protruding outward from the top surface. This clamping fitting 11 has the advantage that containers can be stacked accurately and quickly. In addition, when the lower container has the lid body 30, it is preferable to provide a corner portion of the lid body 30 with a notch portion corresponding to the convex portion 11b.

The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment described above, so the explanation will be omitted.

Note that the container according to the present invention is not limited to transporting liquids, and may also be used for transporting powder, etc., and the box shape is not limited to a cubic shape.

Further, a rope-shaped binding body such as a wire rope may be directly secured to a support without using a clamping member, and furthermore, if a turnbuckle is used, it can be easily stretched between the supports.

Next, the clamping metal fittings are not limited to the above-mentioned attachment method, and the support and the side panel may be integrated by providing a notch groove near the upper corner of the side panel and dropping the clamping metal fittings into this notched groove. .

(f) Effects of the invention As is clear from the above explanation, the container according to the invention has a capacity equivalent to several drums, and the bottom tier is made up of pallets, making it easy to handle cargo by forklifts, etc. be.

Further, both ends of a rope-like binding body such as a wire rope or chain are locked to the upper corner of the box, and the binding body is stretched almost diagonally above the bag housed in the box. Therefore, the fastening body restricts the opening of the box body from opening outward, and the structure of the container becomes firm.

Moreover, since the supports and side panels of the container according to the present invention have rigidity, even if the objects to be transported are stored and stacked for storage, they do not bulge outward and can be placed continuously in parallel.

Furthermore, if you remove the clamping fittings after taking out all the items to be transported, you can disassemble and reduce the volume. This has the effect of saving transportation space when returning the product.
