Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a transportation box for accommodating plate-shaped objects such as folding cartons.

[Conventional technology]

Boxes for storing various products such as detergents are manufactured by assembling folding cartons, and as shown in FIG. 1, transport boxes 1 are used for transporting the boxes. This transportation box 1 accommodates a large number of folding cartons 2, for example, 500 sheets, and during transportation, four of the folding cartons 2 are placed on a pallet 3 in a spiral shape. When filling the contents, the carton is assembled prior to filling. In this case, conventionally, after tearing the transportation box or opening the lid, an operator takes out the desired number of folded cartons and supplies them to the feeder magazine of the filling machine. To supply folded cartons to the feeder magazine, the folded cartons are arranged in a row on the conveyor that extends to the feeder magazine, and then the conveyor is driven and the folded cartons on the conveyor are fed to the feeder magazine. I'm trying to send it in.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, this feeding method requires the worker to take out the folded carton from the transport box many times and carry it onto the conveyor. The workability is extremely low considering the fact that the system must be supported by

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a transportation box that is capable of supplying a large quantity of plate-shaped objects to various devices at high speed, and is suitable for automatic feeding and labor saving.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the transportation box of the present invention has an outer case that is a box that can be opened on one side, and an upper plate, a lower plate, and It is constructed in a U-shape with a single side plate that connects these, and is made of metal or synthetic resin, etc., and can accommodate multiple plate-shaped objects in an opening on one side facing the side plate. It consists of a rigid inner case, and the inner case is housed in the outer case so that its opening is on the same side as the opening of the outer case.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained below with reference to Examples.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a transport box for folding cartons according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3 a to 3 d similarly show the state in which folding cartons are fed to a feeder magazine of a contents filling machine. It is an explanatory diagram.

As shown in FIG. 2, the transport box 1 of this embodiment includes an inner case 4 that accommodates a folding carton 2;
It consists of an outer case 5 that houses this inner case 4. The inner case 4 is formed into a vertically long U-shape by an upper plate 6, a lower plate 7, and a side plate 8 connecting these.A folding carton is placed on the lower plate 7 so as to reach the upper plate 6. 2 are accommodated in a stacked state. Therefore, one surface of the folding carton 2 inside the inner case 4 between the upper and lower plates 6 and 7 facing the side plate 8 of the inner case 4 forms an opening 9, and the folding carton 2 is inserted and removed through this opening 9. I'm starting to be able to do it. The inner case 4 is made of metal or synthetic resin, and has a structure with sufficient rigidity to accommodate a large number of folding cartons 2.

On the other hand, the outer case 5 is a box that houses the inner case 4. This box body is formed of a lid plate 10 that can be opened and closed on one side, and the inner case 4 is housed in the outer case 5 through an opening 11 of the outer case 5 with its opening 9 facing outward. Therefore, outer case 5
When the lid plate 10 is opened, the folding carton 2 housed in the inner case 4 can be directly seen and taken out directly.

Next, using such a transport box 1, fold the folded carton 2 into the feeder magazine of the contents filling machine.
This section explains the work of supplying. Transport box 1
Generally, as shown in FIG. 1, four pieces are placed in a spiral shape on a pallet 3, and as shown in FIG. It is transported to the loading end. Therefore, as shown in Figure 3a, the conveyor 1
The lid plate 10 of one transportation box 1 is opened so that the opening 11 of the outer case 5 faces the carrying-in end of the container 2, and the opening 11 of the outer case 5 is exposed. As a result, the opening 9 of the inner case 4 is also exposed, so the inner case 4 and the outer case 5 are folded forward together with the tip of the lower plate 7 as the center, as shown in FIG. 3b. On this occasion,
The conveyor 12 has a structure having several conveyance sections, and each of these conveyance sections is provided with a narrow falling-off prevention plate 13 that closes the opening 11 of the outer case 5 over its entire length in the height direction. Falling prevention plate 1
3, a tilting mechanism 14 consisting of a cylinder disposed below the conveyor 12 tilts the drop-off prevention plate 13 from approximately horizontal to approximately vertical. That is, as shown in FIG. 3b, when the transport box 1 on the pallet 3 is tilted, the falling prevention plate 13 rises upward and closes the opening 11 of the outer case 5 of the transport box 1.
block. Then, as the transport box 1 tilts, the falling prevention plate 13 loosens the inclination while supporting the inner and outer cases 4 and 5, and eventually the inner and outer cases 4 and 5 become wet. Note that the top surface of the drop-off prevention plate 13 that is horizontal or nearly horizontal becomes lower than the conveyance surface of the conveyor 12. As a result, the transport box 1 consisting of the inner case 4 and the outer case 5 is placed on the conveyor 12. Therefore, as shown in figure c, the outer case 5
Remove it from the inner case 4. The group of folded cartons on the conveyor 12 is covered by the inner case 4 at the top, front and rear, so that the folded cartons on the conveyor 12 are covered without falling over.
be placed on top.

Therefore, when a space corresponding to the height of the transport box 1 is created above the carry-in end of the conveyor 12, the next transport box is folded down by the above procedure and the inner case 4, which accommodates the folded carton 2, is created. Put on. Then, when two or more inner cases 4 are lined up on the conveyor 12, the inner cases 4 other than the inner case 4 located at the carry-in end of the conveyor 12 are pulled out upwards as shown in d in the same figure, and the inner cases 4 are removed from the conveyor 12. Place only the folding cartons on top. The exposed folding cartons are supported by the inner case 4 at the rear, so they do not fall over. Therefore, there is no need for a worker to support the rear end of the group of folding cartons as in the past.

[Effect of idea]

In this way, according to the present invention, one work
Since all the folding cartons, which are the plate-shaped objects contained in each transportation box, can be placed on the conveyor, large quantities and high speed supply can be achieved. In addition, since the inner case has sufficient rigidity, it is easy to remove the outer and inner cases from the conveyor, and the folded cartons on the conveyor do not fall over, making it easier for workers to remove them from the conveyor. This eliminates the need to manually support the folding cartons on the inlet end of the conveyor. Therefore, according to this transportation box, it becomes easy to supply the folding carton to the contents filling machine, and automatic supply and labor saving are also possible. Furthermore, since the inner case of the present invention is made of metal or synthetic resin and has sufficient rigidity, it can be used repeatedly over a long period of time, and the outer case has a higher rigidity than the inner case. It is economically advantageous as it allows the use of low-strength and inexpensive materials.
