Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a container support device used in a container ship, a multipurpose container ship, or the like.

(Prior technology) Container ships equipped with cell guides mainly transported only containers, but recently they have been used more often on routes where general cargo ships are in service, and container ships are becoming more versatile. is progressing.

One of these multipurpose container ships is one that loads various cargo such as heavy goods, cranes, and automobiles into a double-bottomed tank top, and then loads containers on top of that. When you load the top and load the container on top of it.

To avoid damage to the container, a container support device for supporting the container above the double-bottomed tank top has already been proposed and put into practical use.

This container support device is roughly divided into two types.

The first container support device is shown in Figure 7.8.

In the first container support device, a bracket (6) that supports the load of the container (9) is attached to the cell guide (13) or the cell structure (14), and the bracket (6) supports the load of the container (9).
A movable support metal fitting (17) is passed over the movable support metal fitting (17), and the container (9) is supported by the movable support metal fitting (17). The movable support metal fitting (17) can swing in the direction of the arrow, (
I) When a worker goes to the location to set up and store it, and (■) When a double-bottomed tank top (1
6) may be operated via the operating rod.

A second container support device is also shown in Figure 9.10.

In the second container support device, the support column (18) that supports the load of the container (9) is erected along the cell guide (13) to support the container (9).

Note that this support (18) may be of a portable type, or may be swingably attached to the cell guide (13).

In addition, in the above-mentioned No. 1.2 container support device, the support metal fittings (
17) or the strut (18) is in the unsupported position, the container (9) is configured to descend along the cell guide (13) to just above the double bottom tank top (16).

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In the first container support device shown in FIGS. A cell structure (a structure supporting the cell guide (13)) provided in (1
4) is installed. Although these cell guides (13) and cell structures (14) are designed to receive horizontal forces generated on the container (9) during the voyage, they do not support the vertical loads of the container (9). It's not designed to do that. Cell guide for this container ship (13)
Alternatively, it is quite difficult to reinforce the cell structure (14) to support the vertical load of the container (9).
It will cost a lot of money. Further, the support metal fitting (17) that is hung on the bracket (6) is quite heavy at about 100 kg, and it is dangerous to operate it manually at a high place. On the other hand, when operating from above the double-bottomed tank top (16) via the operating rod, there is less danger and is desirable for safety, but the operation is troublesome.

Further, when the support column (18) is made portable using the second container support device shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the following problems occur regarding the operability and storage location of the support column (18).

That is, if the columns (18) are made portable using the second container support device, the weight of each column (18) becomes considerably heavy. In other words, the weight of the support column (18) varies depending on the height and length of the support column (18) supporting the container (9) and the weight of the container (9).
m (12 feet), and the supporting load is 65 tons, which corresponds to 6 stages of 40 foot containers.

The weight of each steel column (1B) is approximately 280 kg. In this way, the considerably heavy columns (18) are lifted and lowered one by one by a crane. Furthermore, attaching to or detaching from the cell guide (13) using bolts or the like requires a lot of time and effort, and is not preferable from a safety standpoint. Furthermore, if the support column (18) is swingably attached to the cell guide (13) using the second container support device, the operation will be relatively simple, but as shown in Figure 9.10, the support column ( When not in use, the column (18) must be stored so as not to interfere with loading and unloading the container (9). However, in container ships, cell guides (13
), and in the case of a newly built ship, increase the length of the ship.

In order to secure storage space for the prop (18), existing ships have undergone major modification work such as creating a recess in the transverse bulkhead to secure storage space for the prop (18). In some cases, a lot of costs are required.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention addresses the above problems, and is similar to a portable container support structure that stands up on the floor along cell guides and supports containers in pairs. It has a storage rack for storing each of the container support structures, and each of the container support structures is composed of two columns and a connecting member that connects each of the columns.

A container support device characterized in that the container support structure is provided with a fall prevention fitting that engages with the cell guide to prevent the container support structure from falling, and a socket is provided at the upper end of each of the support columns. The involvement and purpose of the
Storage space for container support structures on board can be eliminated. Reinforcement of cell guides and cell structures can be eliminated.

Container support structures can be easily handled. Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved container support device that eliminates the need for adjusting the position of a heavy support and attaching it to the cell guide using bolts or the like, which were previously performed in an unstable state in which the heavy support was erected.

(Function) As described above, in the container support device of the present invention, the container support structure is portable, so there is no need for storage space for the container support structure on the ship. Furthermore, since the container is supported by a pair of container support structures, and no load is applied to the cell guide and the cell structure in the vertical direction of the container, there is no need to reinforce the cell guide and the cell structure. It also has a storage rack for storing container support structures, each of which is composed of two columns and a connecting member that connects the columns, and which engages with the cell guide to support the container. A fall-prevention fitting to prevent the structure from collapsing is provided on the container support structure, and a socket is provided at the upper end of each of the above-mentioned columns, so that each container support structure can be connected to the container spreader and the crane on land. This facilitates handling of the container support structure by transporting the container from the storage rack on land or on a ship into the cell slot, and vice versa, from the cell slot to the storage rack. In addition, inside the cell slot, it is attached to the cell guide using a fall prevention fitting, so there is no need to adjust the position of the column or attach it to the cell guide using bolts, etc., which was done in an unstable state with the heavy column upright. become.

It shows a standing state. At this time, each support (2
) The verdical stacker (8) is inserted into the socket (4) provided at the upper end of the container (9), the container (9) is placed on it, and the portable container support structure (1) is placed on the container (9). It will support the load in the vertical direction. Furthermore, during the voyage, the container (9) supported by the portable container support structure (1) moves horizontally within the gap formed between the container (13) and the cell guide (13).
The portable container support structure (1) connected to the vertical stacker (8) via the vertical stacker (8) also swings in the horizontal direction around its lower end, but the positioning bar (5) as a fall prevention fitting is also ) and the positioning guide (7).

A gap (backlash) larger than the amount of horizontal swing of the portable container support structure (1) is formed, and the container (9) and the portable container support structure (1) swing horizontally. Even if the positioning bar (5) and the positioning guide (7) do not come into contact with each other, all horizontal forces acting on the container (9) are supported by the cell guide (13). FIG. 3 also shows a storage rack (10) for storing the portable container support structure (1).

The portable container support structure (1) is a storage rack (1
0) is supported vertically between the partition plates (11). At this time, each portable container support structure (1) has a socket (4) provided at the upper end of the column (2) so that it can be lifted by either a 20-foot container spreader (15) or a 40-foot container spreader (15). , 40 feet apart. For this reason, transportable container support structures (
1) is capable of being lifted and lowered by a container crane using either a 20-foot or 40-foot container spreader (15). Furthermore, the portable container support structures (1) stored at both ends of the rack (10)
) is temporarily fixed to the rack (10) with pins, etc., and the rack (10) is attached to a large number of portable container support structures (
1) can be transported and stacked using a crane or strut carrier in the same way as a 40-foot container. FIG. 4 also shows a pair of portable container support structures (1) placed on a container spreader (
15) and a container crane to insert the cell into the cell slot of a container ship. A protruding positioning cone (12) is attached to each corner of the cell slot of the double bottom tank top (16).

In addition, the portable container support structure (1) is provided with a positioning bar (5), and the bracket (6) is provided with a positioning guide (7), so even if the ship is tilted to some extent, the 9 portable container When the support structure (1) is lowered onto the double-bottomed tank top (16), the portable container support structure (1) is safely in place without having to fix it to the cell guide (13), etc. , is definitely set. In this way, the transportable container support structure (1), just like a container (9), uses a container spreader (15) and a container crane on land to transport the cell slots of a container ship from above the rack (10). Double bottom tank top (1)
