Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a container car loading device used for loading a plurality of cars in two stages, one above the other, in a container when the cars are transported in a container.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when loading a car into a container, the container is generally used exclusively for transporting cars, and a car loading device is fixed inside the container, and the loading device is formed by installing multiple sets of load support struts and lift devices. ing.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Since the above-described conventional vehicle loading device is fixedly provided within a container, the container cannot be used for multiple purposes. In addition, loading the vehicle requires a lot of time and effort, and it is extremely difficult for the driver to open the door to get out of the vehicle after loading the vehicle into the narrow container, or to secure the vehicle inside the container. .

Furthermore, the lift device of the vehicle loading device is equipped with a power device that drives the lift in order to stack the vehicles in two tiers, which makes the structure of the loading device extremely complicated.

Therefore, as a means to solve the various problems mentioned above,
Appropriate length, width, and width for loading and accommodating automobiles inside the container.
A loading device with a plurality of rollers that makes the second cubic frame movable is used. Cars are also stacked on top of each other on this loading device, and the two-tiered cars can be accessed from the outside. One possible method is to move it into a container and store it there.

However, when moving the entire loading device in which cars are stacked in two layers into a container, the efficiency of the car loading work is reduced because the cubic frame structure of the two-layered car is large and heavy. becomes worse.

In addition, as the loading height increases and the upper frame at the longitudinal end of the container is located slightly lower than the effective height inside the container, cars in the upper tier may hit the frame at the top of the entrance and pass through. The problem is that it is not possible.

This invention was made in view of the problems associated with the conventional loading device for loading automobiles into the containers mentioned above.
The purpose of this system is to use a simple and lightweight frame structure that allows cars to be stacked in two tiers without installing a power unit, and to move the entire device manually, while keeping the stacking height low so that the cars do not hit the top at the container entrance. To sweep a car loading device that can be accommodated in a container.

[Means to solve the problem]

Therefore, in this invention, as a means for solving the above-mentioned problem, a base frame extending in the longitudinal direction of a loaded vehicle, and a pair of base frames removably fixed to the base frame by fixing means near the front and rear wheel positions on the base frame are provided. The base frame consists of an in-vehicle frame that is installed at intervals of wheel width on a connecting frame that connects the frames on both sides, and a plurality of in-vehicle frames that are installed at appropriate intervals on the frames on both sides to make the base frame movable. The pair of gantry frames includes an upper vehicle frame that is installed longitudinally on both frames at an interval of wheel width, and the front and rear ends of the vehicle loaded on the upper stage are placed diagonally to the gantry frame. The structure of the container vehicle loading device is adopted, which includes at least one pair of lashing devices whose lashing length is adjustable.

[Effect]

The vehicle loading device according to the present invention configured as described above loads a lower vehicle on the vehicle frame within the base frame, and an upper vehicle on the upper vehicle frame on the gantry frame.

When a car is loaded onto a gantry frame, a rampway is built on the frame and the car is driven and loaded.

After the cars are loaded on the upper and lower tiers, they are secured to the frame using lashing devices. Especially for cars in the upper row, to prevent the car from hitting the upper frame of the container entrance.
Secure and compress the wheel springs and tires with a lashing device.
Secure the total stowage height as low as possible.

After securing the vehicle in this way, when the entire loading device is pushed manually, the entire device can be easily accommodated in the container since it is movable by rollers provided on the base frame.

Although it has not been mentioned orally, during the above-mentioned loading/accommodating work, the Hess frame 31 is placed under the base frame 31 so that the top surface of the base frame is at the same height as the inner floor surface of the container C. The moving work can be done smoothly by placing the adjusting plate.

The loading device of this embodiment is characterized in that the gantry frame 33 provided on the heath frame 31 can be disassembled and folded onto the base frame 31 after the loading and accommodation work is completed.

FIG. 17 shows a state in which the gantry frame 33 is folded. As you can see from the figure, when not in use, rampway 22
The loading device can be stored or carried with most of the members other than the guide frame 43 attached to the base frame 31. Further, as shown in FIG. 18, the loading devices can be stacked in two or more stages using the guide rod 47 provided on the base frame 31, and the loading devices can be stored without occupying much space when not in use. .

[Effects] As explained in detail above, the car loading device according to the present invention loads cars in two stages on the base frame and gantry frame, and uses rollers on the base frame to make the car movable and secures the entire load using lashing devices. Since the mounting height can be minimized, the structure of the loading device is extremely simple and the weight is light, and the advantage is that multiple vehicles can be efficiently loaded and housed in a container manually without damaging the vehicle.
