Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a combination carriage,
More specifically, the present invention relates to a combination carriage that can be combined with standard modules to suit various applications.

[0002]

[Prior Art] Assembly, outfitting, inspection, transportation of space equipment
For tests and the like, various carriages are used to mount the equipment in a clean room. In particular, in the case of developing space equipment, since the equipment is not a mass-produced product, in many cases the equipment is not fixed and the trolley is appropriately placed inside the clean room to temporarily determine the work position. In this case, the space equipment is mounted on a trolley and assembled, and in the inspection process, for example, it is moved to an X-ray inspection area, and the trolley serves as a basic tool for production.

FIG. 5 is an overall perspective view of a conventional general cart. In the conventional trolley, the trolley is designed and manufactured individually according to the target equipment and the application work, and is usually made by an integral welding structure. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 5, a conventional dolly includes a main body frame 1 manufactured according to the size of a target device, casters 2 for moving the frame, a stopper 3 for fixing the frame at a working position, and a device. It is equipped with anti-vibration rubber plate 4 for stably mounting the device on the frame, movement prevention metal fittings 5 for preventing the device from shifting on the frame, etc. It was possible to move up to.

[0004]

However, in such a conventional dolly, it is necessary to design and manufacture a dedicated dolly every time the target equipment and the application work are changed, which causes a problem that the whole manufacturing cost is increased. For example, in the case where a device having a rectangular parallelepiped shape of about 3 m × 2 m × 5 m is placed, in the conventional bogie, (a) a bogie that is held horizontally at a low position in order to perform work efficiently,
(b) It is necessary to have a dolly that holds the equipment horizontally in a high position for work underneath and to attach large parts (keels and longrons), and (C) a dolly that holds the equipment vertically. , It cost more than several units, and could not be diverted to other equipment. Particularly in the case of a large target device, since the devices that can be shared are limited to those of similar size, there are many restrictions and the application is limited. For this reason, the occupancy rate of the trolley did not increase and investment efficiency was poor. When the target device becomes large, the trolley to be used also becomes large, the manufacturing cost increases, the storage area also increases, and the cost of truck transportation also increases. Further, particularly in the case of a trolley used in a clean room, there is a problem that the area occupied by various trolleys in the clean room becomes large, and the space in the expensive clean room is dedicated to the storage of the trolley and becomes a dead space. Furthermore, because of its large-scale integrated structure, it was difficult to package and move it to a general environmental area other than the clean room for storage to prevent contamination.

The present invention was devised to solve such problems. That is, it is an object of the present invention to provide a combination carriage that can be used for various target devices and various application work by combining standard modules.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a plurality of caster modules each having a caster and a horizontal beam, and a plurality of caster modules which are horizontally connected to the upper part of the caster module so as to be detachably connected horizontally to intersect the horizontal beams. A plurality of extending frame modules, a plurality of extension modules whose lower ends are detachably connected to the upper surface of the frame module and extend upward, and a plurality of extension modules which are detachably connected to the upper surface of the frame module or the upper ends of the extension modules to mount the target device on the upper surface. A shop module,
A combination trolley provided with the following.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the caster module further includes a jack that also serves as a stopper, and the caster includes a cushion mechanism. The cushion module has a cushion material on the upper surface. Furthermore, the lower end is detachably connected to the upper surface of the frame module, and includes a flat table module used as a work table on which the target device is placed.
It is preferable.

[0008]

According to the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the caster module, the frame module, the extension module, and the cushion module are provided as standard modules, and these modules are detachable. Can be used for application work.

That is, the combination vehicle of the present invention has a combination structure of standard modules, not an integrated structure,
By changing the combination of standard modules, the functions and performances can be changed and used for multiple purposes. Also,
It is also possible to reduce the cost of the combination cart by using a relatively inexpensive standard module. Also, since the combination of standard modules can be changed for multiple purposes, the cost can be significantly reduced compared to the case where dedicated carts are made. Further, the operating rate can be improved and the investment efficiency can be improved as compared with the case where the large dolly is integrated. In addition, during storage and transportation, it can be disassembled into standard modules, the required area is small, transportation costs can be reduced, and dead space in a clean room can be reduced. Furthermore, most standard modules can be used as they are by changing only the part that is connected to the target device, and can be used repeatedly for multiple purposes. Also,
It can be partially modified and applied according to new demand. Furthermore, it can be disassembled into standard module units and packed, and can be stored in a general environment other than the clean room, reducing the dead space in the clean room,
Further, the cleaning after the contamination can be simplified and the cleaning cost can be reduced. Furthermore, in the case of land and sea transportation, packing will also improve the transportation efficiency (eliminate air transportation).
be able to.
