Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) This invention relates to an article storage device used for stacking and transporting approximately disk-shaped articles.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in various processing and assembly processes, article storage tools for stacking and storing substantially disk-shaped parts and transporting them all at once have been widely used. For example, an article storage device, as shown in FIG. 5, is used to transport disk parts to a press-fit assembly process for automobile wheel disks and rims. As shown in the figure, this article storage device has a bottom plate 10
1 and four cylindrical guide bars 102 erected on this bottom plate 101. Each of the four cylindrical guide bars 102 corresponds to the disk component 1 to be stored.
03, and are fixed to the bottom plate 101 in a position that can appropriately prevent the disk component 103 from shifting laterally. A large number of disc parts 103 are stacked and stored between these four cylindrical guide bars 102, and transported all at once.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) By the way, in processing and assembly factories, the models of articles to be processed and assembled are frequently changed on a regular or irregular basis. In such cases, it is often necessary to supply parts with different outer diameters to the same processing step. In the above-mentioned case, there is a change to assembly of wheels with a larger diameter, and accordingly, it is necessary to transport disk parts with a larger diameter.

When changing models, the outer diameter of the items to be stored is limited with conventional item storage devices. Therefore, when storing items with a new outer diameter, it is necessary to It is necessary to prepare a new article storage device with a guide bar arrangement. On the other hand, conventional article storage devices had to be stored separately, which was very uneconomical.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and its purpose is to easily adapt to the changed dimensions even if the outer diameter dimensions of the articles to be stored are changed. The object of the present invention is to provide an article storage device that can be changed.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, in the article storage device of this invention, the guide bar 2 has a non-circular cross section and is attached to the bottom plate 1 so as to be able to adjust its rotational position around the axis.

(Function) In the article storage device configured as described above, by rotating the guide bar 2 having a non-circular cross section around its axis, the diameter of the inscribed circle of the guide bar 2 can be changed. Become. Therefore, if the outer diameter of the article to be stored is changed, each guide bar 2 can be rotated and adjusted to a position that matches the outer diameter so that the same article storage device can continue to be used. becomes possible.

(Example) Next, a specific example of the article storage device of this invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the article storage device of the present invention, 1 is a bottom plate, 2 is a guide bar, each guide bar 2...2 is parallel to each other, and is erected at each of the four corners of the bottom plate 1. has been done. FIG. 2 is a sectional view of each guide bar 2, and the guide bar 2 is constructed by joining a guide bar main body part 3 having a circular cross section and a guide bar contact part 4 having a square cross section. . Figure 3 is - in Figure 1.
It is a sectional view showing a state in which the bottom plate 1 and the guide bar 2 are attached. As shown in the figure, the lower end of the guide bar main body 3 is formed to have a slightly smaller diameter, and is inserted into the support hole 5 of the bottom plate 1.
It is fixed from the back side with bolts 7 via a retaining plate 6 having a slightly larger diameter. Furthermore, a pin mounting hole 8 is formed in the lower part of the guide bar abutting portion 4, and a positioning pin 9 having a tapered tip is inserted into this pin mounting hole 8.
This positioning pin 9 is urged toward the lower end protruding side by a push spring 10, and the positioning pin hole 11a provided in the bottom plate 1 is pushed by the force of this push spring 10.
It has been designed so that it can be inserted into. Apart from this positioning pin hole 11a, a plurality of other positioning pin holes 11b and 11c are provided in the bottom plate 1 around the rotation axis of each guide bar 2, as shown in FIG.

In the article storage device configured as described above, a changing operation when the outer diameter dimension of the article to be stored is changed will be explained next. First, Figure 4a
As shown, the guide bar 2 is inserted into the bottom plate 1 with the positioning pin 9 fitted into a certain positioning pin hole 11a
In the state attached to the guide bar 2, this article storage device is used for an article having an outer diameter corresponding to the diameter of a circle C1 inscribed in the tip of the guide bar abutting portion 4 of each guide bar 2.

In this article storage device, when the bolt 7 is loosened and the guide bar 2 is rotated around the central axis of the guide bar main body 3, the positioning pin 9 and the positioning pin hole 11a both form a tapered shape, and the positioning pin 9 Since they are only pressed by the push spring 10, the fitted state between the two is easily released, and by further rotating the guide bar 2, the positioning pin 9 reaches the position where it fits into the other positioning pin hole 11b. That will happen. Now tighten bolt 7. By performing similar operations on the other three guide bars 2, this article storage device is assembled in the state shown in FIG. 4b. At this time, a new article having an outer diameter corresponding to the diameter of the circle C2 inscribed in the corner of the guide bar abutting portion 4 of each guide bar 2 can be stored and transported using this article storage device. By the same operation, each positioning pin 9 is further inserted into another positioning pin hole 1 as shown in FIG. 4c.
When the guide bar 2 is rotated to the position where it fits into the guide bar 1c, the guide bar main body 3 of each guide bar 2
This means that it can be used for articles having an outer diameter corresponding to the diameter of the circle C3 inscribed in the circle C3.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the guide bar 2 having a non-circular cross section is configured to be attached to the bottom plate 1 so as to be able to adjust its rotational position around its axis. It is possible to use the same article storage tool for articles by appropriately modifying it to suit each dimension, and the modification work is also easy. Furthermore, when the changed size of the article to be stored is known in advance, the position regulating means consisting of a combination of the positioning pin 9 and the positioning pin holes 11a, 11b, 11c as in this embodiment can be used in combination. Changes can be made accurately and quickly.

Although one embodiment of the article of this invention has been described above, the article storage device of this invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be implemented with various modifications. For example, the arrangement and number of guide bars 2 are not limited to the above embodiments, and for example, for non-circular articles other than approximately disc-shaped, an appropriate number of guide bars 2 may be arranged along the outer periphery of the article. .

(Effects of the invention) As described above, this invention has a configuration in which a guide bar having a non-circular cross section is attached to the bottom plate so that its rotational position around its axis can be adjusted.・It can be easily changed and used for items with different dimensions.
Therefore, it has great utility in transporting parts in processing and assembly factories where model changes occur frequently.
