  In the above transport container, when packing the panel, the operator stretches the loose elastic restraint and attaches it to the panel, and when removing the panel, the operator relaxes the stretched elastic restraint. Removed. The operator needs to handle the stretched elastic restraint carefully so that the stretched elastic restraint is not suddenly released from the hand during these operations.

  Then, an object of this invention is to provide the plate-shaped body conveyance tool which can improve the workability | operativity of the packing operation | work of the plate-shaped bodies, such as a panel, or taking out.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a plate-like body transport tool according to an aspect of the present invention is configured such that a plate-like body is first in a substantially vertical plane by contacting a first side end of a rectangular plate-like body. A second support that intersects the first direction in the vertical plane by contacting the plate-like body at a first support portion that supports the direction of the first plate and a second side end portion that is orthogonal to the first side end portion. A plate-like body support member that includes a second support portion that supports the direction of the plate, and contacts the diagonal side of the corner portion where the first side end portion and the second side end portion of the plate-like body are orthogonal to each other. By doing so, a rod-shaped restraining member that causes the pressing force acting on the plate-like body supporting member to act on the plate-like body is provided.

  According to this aspect, when the operator contacts the rod-shaped restraining member on the diagonal side of the corner where the first side end and the second side end of the plate are orthogonal, the plate A force pressing toward the support member acts on the plate-like body. Therefore, the operator does not need to extend the restraining member in the packing operation or the extraction operation of the plate-like body, and the workability such as the packing operation can be improved.

  In this case, you may further provide the connection mechanism which connects the end of a restraint member, and a plate-shaped body support member so that a restraint member can rotate within a vertical plane. If it does in this way, in the packing operation | work of a plate-shaped object, the operator can contact the diagonal side of a plate-shaped body and press it by rotating a restraint member. In the take-out operation, the restraining member can be removed from the plate-like body by rotating the restraining member in the reverse direction. Therefore, since the operator can rotate the restraining member and press or remove it from the plate-like body, workability such as packing work can be improved.

  Further, the coupling mechanism may include a holding unit that holds the rotation angle of the restraining member in a state where the pressing force from the restraining member is applied to the plate-like body. In this way, since the rotation angle of the restraining member is held by the holding portion, the restraining member can stably apply the pressing force to the plate-like body even during the conveyance of the plate-like body.

  Further, the restraining member may include an elastic body that is supported so as to be movable along the side surface of the restraining member, and the elastic body may contact the corners on the diagonal side of the plate-like body. This is preferable in that the impact and vibration that may occur during conveyance are absorbed by the elastic body. In addition, since the elastic body is movable along the side surface of the restraining member, the elastic body is brought into contact with the diagonal side of each plate-like body even when conveying plate-like bodies of different sizes. be able to.

  Further, the plate-like body support member may have a restraining member attaching / detaching portion that removably supports the restraining member from the plate-like body supporting member at a plurality of different positions with respect to the storing direction of the plate-like body. If it does in this way, the attachment position of a restraint member can be selected according to the size of the plate-shaped object stored. Therefore, an appropriate pressing force can be applied from the restraining member to the plate-like body according to the dimensions of the plate-like body.

  According to this invention, workability | operativity, such as packing operation of a plate-shaped object, can be improved.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a transport rack 10 according to a first embodiment of a plate-like transport tool according to the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a state in which one large glass unit 12 and one small glass unit 14 are stacked on the transport rack 10. The transport rack 10 is used for transporting a plate-like body such as a plurality of glass units 12 and 14 stably so that the glass units 12 and 14 and the like are not damaged by impact or vibration when transported by a track or the like. In the following, for easy understanding, as shown in FIG. 1, the vertical direction is the z-axis direction, the arrangement direction of the glass units 12 and 14 is the y-axis direction, and the storage direction of the glass units 12 and 14 is the same. An xyz orthogonal coordinate system in the x-axis direction is appropriately used. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.

  The transport rack 10 includes a panel support member 16 as a plate-like body support member, a rod-like restraining member 24, and a coupling mechanism 26. The panel support member 16 supports the glass units 12 and 14 loaded on the transport rack 10 along a substantially vertical plane. The restraining member 24 contacts the corners of the glass units 12 and 14 and presses the glass units 12 and 14 toward the panel support member 16. The coupling mechanism 26 couples the restraining member 24 to the panel support member 16 so that the restraining member 24 can be rotated around one end of the restraining member 24 in the vertical plane.

  In FIG. 1, for the sake of simplicity, the restraining member 24 and the coupling mechanism 26 are only shown corresponding to the positions where the large glass unit 12 and the small glass unit 14 are stacked. In practice, however, a plurality of glass units 12 and 14 are provided side by side in the y-axis direction corresponding to each horizontal groove 30 that is the loading position.

  The panel support member 16 includes a panel front support portion 18 and a panel rear support portion 19 as first support portions, and a panel upper support portion 20 and a panel lower support portion 21 as second support portions. The The panel front support portion 18 and the panel rear support portion 19 are in contact with, for example, the lower side end portion of the large glass unit 12 to support the large glass unit 12 in the substantially vertical direction as the first direction. And the panel upper support part 20 and the panel lower support part 21 contact the side edge part of the large sized glass unit 12, and make the large sized glass unit 12 regarding the substantially horizontal direction as a 2nd direction which cross | intersects a 1st direction. To support.

  The panel support member 16 contacts the lower end portion of the large glass unit 12 and the side end portion orthogonal to the large glass unit 12 so as to support the large glass unit 12 along a substantially vertical plane. Similarly, the small glass unit 14 is supported in a substantially vertical plane in contact with the panel rear support portion 19 and the panel lower support portion 21 in an L shape. Here, “substantially vertical plane” is intended to allow not only the state along the vertical plane but also the glass units 12 and 14 to be supported in a state inclined about 10 ° with respect to the vertical plane. .

  The panel front support 18 and the panel rear support 19 are sandwiched and fixed between the right frame 22 and the left frame 23. The panel rear support part 19 is disposed closer to the panel lower support part 21 than the panel front support part 18. Both the panel front support part 18 and the panel rear support part 19 are fixed along the substantially horizontal same plane. In the present embodiment, the panel front support portion 18 and the panel rear support portion 19 are, for example, a plane inclined at about 5 degrees from the horizontal plane so that the panel rear support portion 19 is located slightly below the panel front support portion 18. (See FIG. 2).

  On the upper surfaces of the panel front support portion 18 and the panel rear support portion 19, a plurality of convex portions 28 are provided side by side in the y-axis direction. The interval between the convex portions 28 is set larger than the thickness of the glass units 12 and 14 loaded on the transport rack 10, and between the convex portions 28, the distance between the glass units 12 and 14 along the x-axis direction is set. A horizontal groove 30 that can accommodate the lower end is formed.

  The horizontal grooves 30 are appropriately formed according to the number of glass units 12 and 14 loaded on the transport rack 10. Further, a cushioning material 36 made of an elastic material such as polyurethane or polyethylene is provided at the bottom of the horizontal groove 30 (see FIG. 2). Then, it is preferable because the shock absorbing material 36 suppresses the impact and vibration that may occur during conveyance from the panel support member 16 to the glass units 12 and 14.

  On the other hand, the panel upper support portion 20 and the panel lower support portion 21 are also sandwiched and fixed between the right frame 22 and the left frame 23 in the same manner as the panel front support portion 18 and the like. The panel lower support portion 21 is disposed closer to the panel rear support portion 19 than the panel upper support portion 20. The panel upper support part 20 and the panel lower support part 21 are both fixed along the substantially vertical same plane.

Alternatively, the transport rack 10 can be transported by removing the restraining member 24 corresponding to the stacking place where the glass unit is not placed.

  Furthermore, in the second embodiment, as described above, since the restraining member attaching / detaching portions 33 are provided at a plurality of locations along the glass unit housing direction, restraining is performed according to the dimensions of the stacked glass units. The attachment position of the member 24 can be adjusted. Thereby, it becomes possible to give an appropriate pressing force according to the dimension of the glass unit.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and an appropriate combination of the elements of each embodiment is also effective as an embodiment of the present invention. Various modifications such as design changes can be added to the embodiments based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art, and embodiments to which such modifications are added can be included in the scope of the present invention. Here are some examples.

  In the present embodiment, the holding portion includes the arm portion connecting bolt 62 and the arm portion connecting nut 64, but is not limited thereto. What is necessary is just to hold | maintain the rotation angle of the restraint member 24 in the state which made the pressing force from the restraint member 24 act on a plate-shaped body, for example, the vicinity of the end of the restraint member 24 connected with the connection mechanism 26, and a panel The support member 16 may be connected by an elastic member such as a spring. In this case, an elastic force corresponding to the rotation angle is applied to the restraining member 24, and the rotation angle is held by the elastic force when the restraining member 24 comes into contact with the plate-like body.

  In the present embodiment, the restraint member 24 includes the block 44, but this need not be the case. If the block 44 is not included in the restraining member 24, the side surface of the restraining member 24 may be brought into direct contact with the glass units 12 and 14.

  In the case where the glass units 12 and 14 are, for example, multilayer glass, it is preferable to use a restraining member 24 that is wider than the thickness of the intermediate layer of the multilayer glass. Then, since the pressing force acts on the outer glass layer together with the intermediate layer, it is possible to suppress the excessive pressing force from acting on the intermediate layer that is usually lower in strength than the glass layer.

  The restraining member 24 may be any member that presses a plate-like body such as the glass units 12 and 14 toward the plate-like body support member, and is not necessarily limited to a member that presses in a direction along the diagonal line of the plate-like body. The plate-like body is supported in a direction along the first side edge or the second side edge, for example, from the diagonal side of the corner where the first side edge and the second side edge are orthogonal to each other. You may press against a member.

  In the present embodiment, the panel support member 16 supports the glass unit from two directions orthogonal to each other in a substantially vertical direction and a substantially horizontal direction, but is not limited thereto. The plate-like body supporting member may be any member that supports the plate-like body from two directions intersecting each other in a substantially vertical plane. Or in this embodiment, although the 1st support part of panel support member 16 as a plate-shaped body support member is constituted including panel front support part 18 and panel back support part 19, it is not restricted to this, Furthermore, you may support a plate-shaped object regarding a 1st direction with many support parts. The panel support member 16 may have a frame structure formed by combining frames as in the present embodiment, or may be manufactured as an integral structure by press molding or injection molding.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, although the horizontal groove part 30 and the vertical groove part 31 are both made into the flat surface along the side surface of the glass units 12 and 14, it is not restricted to this. As long as it can contact and support the side end of the plate-like body, it may be a surface including irregularities, and the cross-sectional shape of the horizontal groove portion 30 or the vertical groove portion 31 may be, for example, a V-shape.

  According to this invention, workability | operativity, such as packing operation of a plate-shaped object, can be improved.
