Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a container for transporting roll cargo, and more specifically, it is capable of safely transporting rolled cargo as it is, and is also capable of transporting rolled cargo safely in its untransported state. This invention relates to a roll cargo shipping container that can be folded low.

0002

[Prior Art] Among the currently exported steel materials, most of the rolled hot coils are steel materials for general ironwork, so many of them are relatively thick, and they are cut to a certain size at a specific factory in the importing country. are re-rolled and sold on the open market. Looking at the method of transporting the above-mentioned thick hot coils, the unit weight varies depending on the packing form and dimensions, but in most cases it is handled as a heavy item, so loading and unloading is carried out exclusively at the dedicated wharf of the steel factory. This is done by loading onto a general cargo ship using a crane. On the above-mentioned general cargo ships, large quantities of cargo are loaded directly onto the double-bottomed deck in the ship's hold in multiple rows and in multiple tiers, with measures taken to prevent the cargo from collapsing by binding with wooden dunnage, wedges, chocks, wires, etc. We are trying to carry out transportation. Furthermore, since the single weight of hot coils as described above is too large and exceeds the allowable load of the container, the present situation is that transportation using ISO standard containers is not carried out at all.

[0003] Another example of roll cargo whose export is increasing recently is thin sheet finished product coils for on-site manufacturing of parts such as automobile parts. These thin plate finished coils are supplied to the press process in the parts production line in the same state as they were manufactured at the steelworks without being reprocessed at the local factory, so there is no risk of cargo collapsing or stacking during transportation. It is necessary to prevent deformation or damage caused by cargo handling operations such as loading and unloading, and by bundling members.

[0004]Furthermore, local factories are not necessarily built close to port areas, but are often built inland, so transportation by the general cargo ships mentioned above was carried out. After that, land transportation by trucks, trains, etc. will be carried out, and even during such land transportation, extreme care must be taken to prevent deformation or damage to the finished thin sheet coil. There's a problem.

[0005] To explain in more detail, when the above-mentioned finished thin plate coil is transported by a general cargo ship, it is loaded directly into the ship's hold in multiple rows and in multiple stages.
In addition to the weight pressure caused by stacking in multiple stages and the lateral pressure caused by the shaking of the ship, cargo handling operations are performed many times during the distribution process, and each time a new load is applied by baling equipment, etc., resulting in deformation of the cargo shape, There is a very high possibility that damage accidents will occur frequently.Moreover, as mentioned above, since land transportation is also carried out, there is a problem that the possibility of the above-mentioned accidents occurring is even higher.

[0006] In consideration of these problems, the inventor of the present invention developed a foldable and rollable cargo container that accommodates the above-mentioned thin plate coils or the recently increasing number of wire rod coils (hereinafter referred to as roll cargo). We designed a roll cargo shipping container that can hold cargo stably.

[0007]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the above-mentioned roll cargo transport container requires a drop lid in addition to the outer lid that the container itself has, which increases the weight as a whole, and the drop lid is subject to external vibrations and other problems. A mechanism is required to prevent the lid from jumping up, an engaging member attached to the underside of the drop lid that engages the rolled cargo, and a mechanism to adjust the position of this engaging member to match the size of the rolled cargo. Therefore, the mechanism as a whole becomes complicated, and the assembly work and folding work become complicated.

[0008]Furthermore, roll-shaped newspapers and the like have similar problems.

[0009]

[Object of the Invention] This invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of deformation or damage to roll cargo regardless of whether it is transported by sea or land, and also to prevent assembly work and It is an object of the present invention to provide a roll cargo transport container that simplifies folding work and can maintain sufficient rigidity in an assembled state.

0010

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a roll cargo transport container according to claim 1 has a foundation main pillar frame member erected at the corner portion of the lower frame member, and a foundation It has an upper main column frame member that is foldably connected to the main column frame member, and integrally connects the foundation main column frame members and the upper main column frame members that are adjacent to each other in the direction perpendicular to the folding direction. a guide member having a base side plate member and an upper side plate member, integrally connected to the base side plate member and having a guide groove including an upper frame member upright state holding position and an upper frame member folded storage position; An engaging member that is connected to the upper side plate member and whose other end is engaged with a guide groove, an urging mechanism that pulls a portion near the other end of the engaging member toward the guide member via a cable, and a tensioning mechanism that tensions the cable. It has a jack device and a roll cargo receiving member removably provided at a predetermined position on the lower frame member.

[0011] The roll cargo shipping container according to claim 2 comprises:
A first shaft member rotatably connected to the upper end of the upper side plate member by a predetermined angle, a second shaft member rotatably connected to the first shaft member by a predetermined angle, and a second shaft member rotatable to the second shaft member. and a third shaft member coupled to the lower frame member, and a roll cargo receiving member is removably provided on the lower frame member so as to be adjustable in position.

[0012] The roll cargo shipping container according to claim 3 comprises:
It further includes a cover member that is attached to cover the first shaft member, the second shaft member, and the third shaft member. In the roll cargo transport container according to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a door member is provided between main pillar frame members adjacent to each other in the folding direction.

[0013]

[Operation] In the case of the roll cargo transport container according to claim 1, the upper side plate member may be erected together with the upper main column frame member while the jack device is operated to the cable tension side.
Since the other end of the engaging member engages with the upper frame member upright holding position of the guide groove, a container frame having sufficient rigidity can be constructed. Therefore, after that, it is sufficient to load the roll cargo while being supported by the roll cargo receiving member.

On the other hand, after loading and unloading the roll cargo, all that is required is to tilt the upper side plate member together with the upper main column frame member and then operate the jack device in the opposite direction to release the tension in the cable. By lowering the upper side plate member together with the main column frame member in a folded state, the container can be easily folded to a low volume. In the former case, the upper main column frame member and the upper side plate member must be erected against the biasing mechanism, so a considerably large force is required. Since a force is applied in a direction to erect the column frame member, the upper side plate member, and the upper side plate member, the force that actually needs to be applied from the outside can be reduced, and the frame construction work can be easily accomplished.

[0015] Furthermore, on the loading and unloading side, where there is no guarantee that there is any equipment (crane, forklift truck, etc.) for loading and unloading roll cargo, it is necessary to carry out the necessary work to fold the container after maintaining the tension of the cables. It is sufficient to perform the work of tilting the upper main column frame member and the upper side plate member, and then release the tensioned state of the cables and lower the tilted upper member, so that the work can be sufficiently handled manually by the worker.

[0016] In the container for transporting roll cargo according to claim 2, each shaft portion can rotate according to the size of the roll cargo, and the second shaft member and the third shaft member can be aligned along the surface of the roll cargo. Therefore, by connecting the second shaft members, it is possible to stably hold the roll cargo, and by applying lashings, etc. to the shaft members, it is possible to stabilize the loading of the roll cargo without applying local loads. The attitude can be maintained, and there is almost no deformation or damage to the rolled cargo.

[0017] In the container for transporting roll cargo according to the third aspect, the cover member can protect the roll cargo from wind and rain. If it is a roll cargo transport container according to claim 4,
Not only can cargo be loaded and unloaded from the top of the container, but it can also be loaded and unloaded using a forklift car or the like with the door member open. Further, when folding the container, the door member only needs to be rotated along the outer surface of the upper side plate member, and the upper member can be tilted without any inconvenience. In addition, it is preferable that the base side plate member located at the lower part of the door member is rotatable downward.

[0018]

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a roll cargo transport container according to the present invention, in which relatively short basic main column frame members 2 are attached to the four corners of a lower frame member 1 having a substantially rectangular planar shape. are integrally erected, and foundation side plate members 3 are provided to cover between the foundation main column frame members 2. An upper main column frame member 4 is provided on the upper part of the foundation main column frame member 2 so as to be foldable and maintainable in an upright state, and an upper main column frame member 4 adjacent to the folding direction of the upper main column frame member 4 in a direction perpendicular to the folding direction of the upper main column frame member 4 is provided. An upper side plate member 5 is provided to cover between the main column frame members 4. Note that a fork pocket 1a is attached to a predetermined position on the lower surface of the lower frame member 1.

A guide member 6 extending vertically is provided at a predetermined position on the inner surface of the base side plate member 2, and an engaging member 7 is provided at a corresponding position on the upper side plate member 5. As shown in FIG. 2, the guide member 6 has a guide groove 6a including a horizontal groove portion 6b extending substantially horizontally and a vertical groove portion 6c extending vertically while being slightly inclined with respect to the vertical direction. In addition, a jack device 8 that expands and contracts horizontally and in a direction parallel to the base side plate member 3 is provided at a predetermined position. The engagement member 7 has a base integrally connected to the upper side plate member 5, and a shaft portion 7a provided at the tip thereof is engaged with the guide groove 6a.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a biasing member 9 is provided at a predetermined position inside the lower frame member 1.
, guide member 6, jack device 8 and base side plate member 3
Roller members 10a, 10b, 10 provided respectively in
c, 10d and the engaging member 7 via the guide cylinder member 10e.
A predetermined position near the foundation and the biasing member 9 are connected by a cable 11 such as a lead chain or wire.

Furthermore, a roll cargo receiving member 12 extending parallel to the base side plate member 3 is removably provided at a predetermined position of the lower frame member 1. Furthermore, the upper side plate member 5
A roll cargo holding member 13 is rotatably connected to the upper edge of the roll cargo holding member 13. This roll cargo holding member 13 includes a first shaft member 13a that is rotatable at a predetermined angle relative to the upper side plate member 5, a second shaft member 13b that is rotatable at a predetermined angle relative to the first shaft member 13a, The third shaft member 13b is rotatable with respect to the second shaft member 13b.
The second shaft member 13b has a shaft member 13c, and the rotation limit angle is regulated according to the size of the rolled cargo.
Both the third shaft member 13c and the third shaft member 13c are brought into contact with the upper surface of the roll cargo. The rotation range of the first shaft member 13a is set from a state along the outer surface of the upper side plate member 5 to a state extending inward at a substantially right angle to the upper side plate member 5.

The roll cargo holding member 13 and the cover member 14 that covers the roll cargo have a top surface that follows the shape of the roll cargo holding member 13 in the maximum diameter roll cargo accommodation state, and furthermore, the upper main column frame member 4 and a side surface portion that covers the opening between the two. Then, the upper side plate member 5
and a ring member 5 provided at a predetermined position on the base side plate member 3.
The cover member 14 can be attached by inserting a stop wire 14a through the ring members 5a, 3a protruding from the hole 13d.

When assembling the roll cargo transport container achieved above, as shown in FIG.
b, and then the jack device 8 is projected to tension the cable 11, thereby applying the biasing force of the biasing member 9 in the direction of raising the upper member. It is only necessary to make the column frame member 4 and the upper side plate member 5 stand up, and in this state, reliable maintenance of the upright state can be achieved. In addition, there is a connecting fitting 6 that can be rotated and tightened between the foundation main column frame member 2 and the upper main column frame member 4.
Preferably, they are linked by d. Further, in the upright state, the roll cargo holding member 13 is rotated along the outer surface of the upper side plate member 5, thereby completely opening the upper surface of the container.

[0024] Therefore, roll cargo can be loaded from the top of the assembled roll cargo transport container using a crane or the like. Note that the loaded roll cargo is stably supported by the roll cargo receiving member 12. Thereafter, the roll cargo holding member 13 is rotated to bring the second shaft member 13b and the third shaft member 13c into contact with the upper outer surface of the roll cargo, and the lashing tape 13e, whose one end is connected to the second shaft member 13b, is By connecting the other end to a predetermined position of the upper side plate member 5 on the opposite side, the roll cargo can be stably supported inside the roll cargo transport container (see FIG. 3). Furthermore, the cover member 14 is set,
By fixing the end edge of the cover member 14 with the stop wire 14a, the rolled cargo is protected from wind and rain.

When unloading roll cargo, remove the cover member 14, remove the other end of the lashing tape 13e from the upper side member 5 on the opposite side, and press the roll cargo holding member 13 along the outer surface of the upper side plate member 5. The upper surface of the container for transporting roll cargo and the side surface to which the upper side plate member 5 is not attached are opened, so that roll cargo can be loaded and unloaded using a crane, forklift car, etc.

After loading and unloading the roll cargo, the rope 11
It is only necessary to tilt the upper main column frame member 4 and the upper side plate member 5 while maintaining the tension state of the upper main column frame member 4 and the upper side plate member 5.
can be prevented from falling down suddenly and can be tilted smoothly (see Fig. 4). Thereafter, as shown in FIG.
It can be lowered along the longitudinal groove 6c of the container a, and the roll cargo transport container can be folded low (Fig. 6
reference).

[0027] When recovering the roll cargo shipping containers folded as described above, for example, three containers are arranged in a row,
And in a state where each of them is stacked in three stages, the connecting fittings 15
It is sufficient to unify the whole using a lifting device 16, and to load it onto a vehicle, ship, etc. for collection by lifting it using a hanging fitting 16 (see FIG. 7), thereby simplifying the collection work. 8 to 11 are front views showing the loading state when the size of the roll cargo changes.

[0028] In the case of the largest diameter roll cargo, the first shaft member 13a is in a state slightly upward from the horizontal direction,
The second shaft member 13b and the third shaft member 13c extend along the upper outer surface of the rolled cargo. Since the other second shaft member 13b and third shaft member 13c can be pressed against the outer surface of the rolled cargo by the lashing tape 13e, the rolled cargo can be stably supported (see FIG. 8).

In the case of roll cargo having a slightly smaller diameter than the roll cargo shown in FIG. 8, the first shaft member 13a and the second shaft member 13
b are lined up perpendicularly to the upper side plate member 5, and in this state, the second shaft member 13b and the third shaft member 13c extend along the outer surface of the roll cargo near the top (see FIG. 9). In the case of roll cargo having a slightly smaller diameter than the roll cargo shown in FIG. 9, the second shaft portion 13b is in the same state as in FIG.
c is slightly downward than in the horizontal state, and in this state, the second shaft member 13b and the third shaft member 13c are along the outer surface of the rolled cargo near the top (see FIG. 10).

FIG. 11 shows a state in which rolled cargo of extremely small diameter is accommodated, and by installing the intermediate receiving member 12a of the pair of roll cargo receiving members 12, two rolled cargoes are accommodated in the lower stage, and two pieces of rolled cargo are accommodated. One roll cargo is placed in the center of the roll cargo. In this case, the second shaft member 13b and the third shaft member 13c are in almost the same state as in FIG. 8, and because the rolled cargo has a small diameter, the third shaft member 13c is more It also pivots downward and follows the outer surface of the center of the roll cargo.

When the cover member 14 is to be attached with the rolled cargo accommodated as shown in FIG. 8 or 11, the cover member 14 is simply fixed with the stop wire 14a as shown in FIG. Good, but Figures 9 and 1
When the roll cargo is stored as shown in FIG. , and the upper surface of the cover member 14 can be aligned substantially with the upper surface of the rolled cargo.

[0032]

[Embodiment 2] FIG. 14 is a schematic perspective view showing another embodiment of the roll cargo transport container of the present invention, and the difference from the above embodiment is that the upper main column frame member is open in the above embodiment. The only difference is that a removable door member 17 is provided between the two. It is preferable that the foundation side plate members 3 between the corresponding foundation main column frame members 2 are capable of downward rotation.

Therefore, in the case of this embodiment, by opening the door member 17, the base side plate member 3 is rotated downward, and roll cargo can be loaded and unloaded by a forklift car etc. through a wide open space. can be done. In addition, when folding a roll cargo transport container, the removed door member 17 is attached to the upper surface of the lower frame member 1.
By stacking the upper main column frame members 4 and the upper side plate members 5, the bulk can be reduced in the same manner as in the above embodiment.
