Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a packing device suitable for packing a horizontal compressor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when packing a vertical compressor, a plurality of compressors are juxtaposed in an upright state as shown in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-156489, and a cushion such as a pad is used. After stacking through a material, a method of fixing the whole with a binding band has been adopted.

[0003] On the other hand, in the case of a horizontal compressor, a metal fitting for erecting is mounted on a closed container, and the compressor is packed upright using the metal fitting as described above.

[0004]

However, in the case of a horizontal compressor to which such fittings are not attached, the compressor cannot be erected, and therefore, is packed in a horizontal state. However, there is a problem that the volumetric efficiency is deteriorated and the transportation cost is soared.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional technical problem, and provides a packing apparatus capable of easily and efficiently packing a horizontal compressor having no special upright fitting. To provide.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A packing apparatus according to the present invention is for packing a horizontal compressor having a pipe and / or a terminal attached to a side end thereof, and is fitted to a side end of a sealed container of the compressor. The branch pipe has a strength sufficient to hold a plurality of compressors in an upright state in which the axial direction is upright, and is fitted up and down in the upright state. The compressor has a sufficient length in the axial direction to prevent interference between the pipes of the compressor.

According to the present invention, a branch pipe is installed at the lowermost part in a state where the axial direction is upright, and a side end of the horizontal compressor is inserted and fitted into the branch pipe in a state where the horizontal compressor is upright. And a compressor can be inserted and fitted on the branch pipe in the same upright state. Thereby, a plurality of horizontal compressors can be stacked in an upright state, and the volume efficiency at the time of packing is improved, and since the branch pipes and the compressors are merely stacked, the packing workability is also improved. .

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a horizontal compressor 1 in a packed state.
FIG. 2 is a side view of the compressor 1 and the branch pipe 2 for explaining a packing operation.

The compressor 1 has a cylindrical main body 3 and curved end caps 4A welded and fixed to both inner sides of the main body 3.
4B, bases 6 and 6 are fixed at both sides of a bottom portion of the closed container 5 by welding portions 7. The bases 6, 6 extend outward (left-right direction) below the bottom surface of the closed container 5.

A suction pipe 8 is attached to a portion located below the center of one end cap 4A so as to protrude, and a terminal 9 and a discharge port are provided at a portion located above the center of the other end cap 4B. A tube 11 is protrudingly mounted. In addition, the discharge pipe 11 projects with a predetermined length so as to prevent heat when welding with another pipe from affecting the terminal 9 (longer than the suction pipe 8).

Next, the branch pipe 2 is made of cardboard such as corrugated cardboard, and has a cylindrical shape having an inner diameter substantially equal to that of the main body 3 of the sealed container 5 of the compressor 1. In addition, the branch pipe 2 has an axial dimension L1 that is sufficiently larger than at least the sum of the projecting dimensions of the discharge pipe 11 and the end caps 4A and 4B. It has sufficient strength to hold the compressor 1. Furthermore,
Notches 12 are formed on both sides of the branch pipe 2.

With the above configuration, when packing the compressor 1, the branch pipe 2 is set upright with its axial direction up and down. Next, the compressor 1 is erected with its end cap 4A down and the end cap 4B up, and the end cap 4A is inserted into the branch pipe 2 from above and fitted removably. At this time, the base 6 is connected to the notch 12 of the branch pipe 2.
To match.

Next, another branch pipe 2 is fitted upright to the end cap 4B of the compressor 1 from above, and the end cap 4 of another compressor 1 is further fitted to the branch pipe 2 from above.
A is inserted and fitted. Also in this case, the base 6 of each compressor 1 is matched with the notch 12 of the branch pipe 2. In this way, the two branch pipes 2 and 2 and the two compressors 1 and 1 are alternately overlapped (see FIG. 4).

In this case, the axial dimension of the branch pipe 2 is set to a dimension L1 which is sufficiently larger than at least the sum of the projecting dimensions of the discharge pipe 11 and the end caps 4A and 4B. Since the position of the terminal 9 is shifted, the inconvenience of interference between the suction pipe 8 of the upper and lower compressors 1, 1 and the discharge pipe 11 or the terminal 9 in the branch pipe 2 does not occur.

Finally, another branch pipe 2 is fitted on the second stage compressor 1. In this way, three branches 2 ...
And two compressors 1 and 1 are stacked alternately on a wooden, plastic, metal or corrugated bottom plate 1
3 are arranged at predetermined intervals. At this time, if a plurality of circular cutouts are formed in the bottom plate 13 for receiving the lower edge of the branch pipe 2, stability is increased.

Then, a top plate 14 made of the same material is placed on the uppermost branch pipe 2 (see FIG. 5). Finally, the binding band 15 is hung on the bottom plate 13 and the top plate 14 and fixed. Is also fastened and fixed by the binding band 15 (see FIG. 1). At this time, it is preferable to interpose a cushion material between each stack.

In the case where the base 6 extends below the closed vessel 5 as in the compressor 1 shown in FIG.
Instead of forming the pipe 2, a simple cylindrical pipe 2 may be used as shown in FIG. However, when the base 6 is bent upward from the bottom of the closed container 5 as shown in FIG. 7, the notch 12 serves as a relief.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the claims.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the compressor 1 can be packed with the direction of the compressor 1 reversed alternately. At this time,
The branch pipe 2 may be the same, but as shown in FIG.
When the lengths of the suction pipe 8, the terminal 9, and the discharge pipe 11 are different, the branch pipes 2A and 2B having different lengths may be used. By using the branch pipes 2A and 2B having different lengths, the overall height of the package can be reduced, and the stability can be increased.

[0020]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, a branch pipe is installed at the lowermost part in a state where the axial direction is upright, and a side end of the horizontal compressor is inserted into this branch pipe in a state where the horizontal compressor is upright. In addition, a branch pipe can be fitted over the compressor, and the compressor can be similarly fitted upright on the branch pipe in an upright state. As a result, a plurality of horizontal compressors can be stacked in an upright state, and the volumetric efficiency at the time of packing is improved, and since the branch pipe and the compressor are merely stacked,
The packing workability is also improved.
