Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to container transport and transportation, particularly in the cargo area of a container transport vehicle that loads and transports a plurality of containers, and in the container storage area of a container warehouse. This invention relates to a container moving device that makes it possible to improve volumetric efficiency.

In the luggage compartments of nine/tenor carriers, container warehouses, etc., where containers in the wing are stored, container moving devices are sometimes installed to allow efficient removal of desired containers. There are many types of container moving devices, but especially in the luggage compartment of a container carrier that transports small containers, multiple loaded containers are moved at equal intervals on an endless chain. A container moving device that is pivotally connected to move the container by a small amount is employed.

However, the conventional container moving device using such an endless chain has a problem in that the volumetric efficiency of the cargo space deteriorates. This problem will be specifically explained below based on FIGS. 11 and 2.

Both Figures 1 and 1g2 show an endless chain (2) #6 containers (a) ~
(8) (J) Although the bracket portions (9) are pivotally connected at equal intervals, the installation state of the endless chain (2) is slightly different between FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. That is, in Fig. 1, the left and right sides of the endless chain (2) have a pair of large sub-blocks (II 2) There are two shed sprockets u2J~051 on the left and right inside respectively.
It has a straight line portion Ql.

First, in FIG. 1, when the container (5) moves to the center position of the semicircular part, the adjacent containers (41
The relationship with (6) will be explained. At this time, the dimensions of each part are as follows. Horizontal distance of branch L: % Horizontal of containers (3) to (8) - defined as KiP-0,285D L==m 82, so L = P-0,285D-82 Therefore, 8.: P −L = 0.285D+ 82 In addition, when moving containers (3) to (8), in order for containers (37 to (8)) not to come into contact with each other, it must be at least 0 and S2. From Nara-, 0.285
D<81 takuma was required] The volumetric efficiency was poor.

Next, in the dark blue diagram 2, when the container (5) moves to the center position of the 1IEii section 0, the adjacent container (4
I will explain the relationship with 7(6). At this time, the dimensions of each part are as follows: DI: Sprocket (defined as the diameter of 14 to a5, m = y' + 0.5 DI, 10'/' +
Since z'= p %, / =3, z'=jl-(D-D,) +'+ y/ =p xt z/ L == m -82, L = P --+0.215D182 Therefore , s, = p-L = 7-〇, 215D1+82 Therefore, as in the case of Fig. 1, the efficiency of the 9-volume maki, which required an interval of d-0,215D*<81, was poor.

In addition, in order to make it easier to take out the container (53) from the ground in Figures 1 and 2, the container (5) was placed at a slightly higher position as indicated by the dot-by-dot line in the figures. Then, the container (6) comes to cover the top of the container (5), which obstructs the removal of the load and impairs the functionality.
