Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent damages to a vehicle body by providing taper treating parts corresponding to the taper treating parts of a center board and a front and a rear spacer having the same width as the inside width of a container and the overall length including the length of the center board combined therewith by the taper part being the same as the inside length of the container. CONSTITUTION:A center board 11 is pushed into a container 1 until the taper treating parts T1 and T2 of a lateral beam member 13 at the front end of the center board 11 are pressed into contact with the taper treating parts 7 and 7' of the longitudinal beam members 4 and 4' of a front spacer 2, and then a rear spacer 52 is set. Rear longitudinal beam members 54 and 54' define taper treating parts 56 and 56'. Since the length of the longitudinal beam members 54 and 54' is to conform with the distance to the rear end of the container 1, the length may be different from the length in the case of the front spacer 2. When the length is considerably insufficient, a single turnbuckle type strut beam 55 may suffice to serve the purpose. A rear spacer 52 is set in the same way as the front spacer, and then the rear door of the container is closed and locked, thus the loading being complete.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for loading a vehicle into a container, and more particularly, an apparatus and a method for loading a large vehicle into a container for land-sea transportation. Stowage is about method.

(Prior art) When transporting automobiles in a container, conventionally, a tire lashing device is attached directly to the floor inside the container, the automobile is placed inside the container, and the tires are secured to the floor inside the container using the lashing device. A method was adopted in which the materials were fixed and stacked.

(Problems with the prior art) However, in the above loading method, the tires are tied down after the car is placed inside the container, so in the case of large cars, there is limited space available for workers to do the lashing work. This often caused damage to the painted surfaces of car bodies and tires.

Particularly when transporting high-end large passenger vehicles such as limousines in containers, even the slightest damage to the painted surface or tire surface of the vehicle can greatly reduce the product value, so the transportation client had strong demands for improvements and the problem was serious. .

(Solving the Problems by the Present Invention) The present inventor aims to develop a new loading method that allows workers to complete loading without entering the container after a vehicle has been transported into the container. As a result of research, a new stowage device and a new stowage method using the same were successfully developed.

That is, the present invention includes a center board (a) which is equipped with a tire securing device, has tapered portions at the front, rear, left, and right ends, and whose width and length are smaller than the inner dimensions of the container, and at both front and rear ends of the center board. and the inner front and rear ends of the container, each has a tapered part that corresponds to the tapered part of the center board, the width is the same as the inside dimension of the container, and the length is the same as the center board due to the tapered part. A device for loading a vehicle into a container is provided which includes a front spacer (B) and a rear spacer (C) whose total length when combined is the same as the inside dimension of the container.

Furthermore, the present invention provides the above-mentioned center board (a), front spacer (b), and rear spacer (c), and fixes the vehicle to the center board outside the container using the tire lashing device beforehand. The spacer (A), the center board to which the vehicle is fixed (B), and the rear spacer (C) are carried into the container in this order, and these (A), (B), and (C) are pressed together by the tapered parts to place them on the container floor. Provides a method for loading a vehicle into a container, characterized in that the container is fixed as an integral frame to the container.

(Action of the present invention) By using the above device of the present invention and stowing e6 according to the above method of the present invention, the lashing of the vehicle can be performed outside the container where sufficient work space can be secured, and the vehicle After carrying the cargo into the container, the worker can complete the loading without entering the container, so there is almost no possibility of damaging the vehicle body or the like.

Preferably, the front spacer (B) and the rear spacer (C) each include a respective U-shaped frame member and a tension beam section that acts in a direction to expand the U-shaped opening outwardly. Each spacer can be easily fixed on the container floor by the tension force.

The tire securing device provided on the center board (a) may be any known device, but since the wheelbase etc. differ depending on the type of vehicle and the tire position will differ,
In the case of a four-wheeled vehicle, it is preferable that at least one set for the front or f&2 wheels be adjustable in position.

The center board (a) itself is preferably constructed of a quadrilateral frame member. At least one set of the tire securing devices described above can be attached to the beam sections extending in the front-rear direction of the quadrilateral frame member so that their positions can be adjusted by sliding. In addition, the frame member or tire lashing device,
A guide projection may be provided to facilitate the introduction of the centerboard into the container.

The shape of each tapered portion for press-contacting the front spacer (B), center board (A), and rear spacer (C) may be any shape as long as it can be fixed as an integral frame on the container floor by press-contact. For example, a quadrilateral centerboard (
Diagonally cut out the outside of the four corners of (a), and correspondingly cut diagonally inside the openings of the U-shaped front spacer (b) and the U-shaped rear spacer (c) to create a tapered part. I can do it.

In this specification, for convenience of explanation, the part located on the door side of the container is referred to as the rear part, and the part located at the back of the container is referred to as the front part. is not particularly relevant.

The width of the center board (a) should be slightly smaller than the inner dimensions of the container so that the bottom side wall of the container does not interfere with the fixation by pressure contact with the front and rear spacers (b) and (c).

The widths of the front and rear spacers (b) and (c) are the same as the inner dimensions of the container for the above-mentioned fixation, but in order to strengthen the fixation, pressure is applied in the widening direction by the above-mentioned tension beam pieces. It is preferable to be able to add

Center board (a) and front and rear spacers (b) (
The total length of the combination of c) shall be the same as the inner dimensions of the container, but each relative length shall be determined as appropriate, taking into consideration overhang from the front and rear axles of the vehicle, convenience of stowage, etc. can be determined. It goes without saying that the length of the centerboard (a) should be at least longer than the wheelbase of the vehicle.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
