Description

cooler box {COOLER BOX}

The present invention relates to a cooler box.

As a cooler box used in order to accommodate a fish etc., there exists what was described in patent document 1, for example. This cooler box ("cool box" in patent document 1) is equipped with the box main body and the cover for opening/closing.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2019-80532

As also indicated in Patent Document 1 as a subject, if a force (overload) in the direction of further opening is accidentally applied to the lid while the lid is open, there is a possibility that the lid itself or the hinge portion may be damaged. With respect to this problem, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, a stopper for regulating rotation beyond the open state of the lid is provided in the box body.

However, if the user can be made aware that the lid is receiving an external force that further opens from the predetermined opening position, it is possible to take an action to release the external force before the lid is damaged. By the way, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, although it is possible to prevent the lid from being opened at the same opening degree that each part is damaged, from a viewpoint of making the user notice that the said external force is applied to the lid is not taken into account.

Then, this invention makes it a subject to provide the cooler box which can make a user notice that the cover is receiving the external force which opens further from a predetermined opening position with respect to a subject.

The present invention is provided with a main body portion having an opening and capable of accommodating stored items therein, and a lid portion rotating with respect to the main body portion to open and close the opening portion, the lid portion comprising: a lid body; The cover body is separate from the cover body and includes a cover part connected to the cover body, wherein the cover part has a part of a hinge mechanism for rotating the cover part with respect to the body part, the cover body and the cover part An intervening body separate from the lid body and the cover portion is interposed between the It is a cooler box which raise|generates a position shift with respect to at least one of the said lid|cover main body or the said cover part from the interposition position.

According to this structure, since a sound is sounded or the cover main body and the cover part come off when an inclusion body shifts in position, an abnormality can be informed to a user.

And, as for the one side of the said cover main body or the said cover part, the end surface opposite to the other becomes an engagement surface, The said interposition body is engaged with the said engagement surface, and is said one side. It can be set as having an engaging part positioned with respect to it.

According to this configuration, when the intervening member is interposed between the lid body and the cover portion, the engaging portion engages the engaging surface, so that the interposition state of the intervening body is stabilized.

And, when the cover body moves with respect to the cover part in a state in which the cover part receives an external force to further open from the predetermined opening position, the intervening body comes into contact with a part of the cover body, and the force of the movement A part of can be set as having a slope which converts into the force which suppresses rotation of the said interference|inclusion body with the said position shift.

According to this structure, it can suppress that an intervening body falls out in a short time from the position where it interposes between a cover main body and a cover part.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, when an engaging body shift|deviates, a sound sounds, or an abnormality can be informed to a user by detaching|disconnecting from a cover main body and a cover part. For this reason, it can make a user notice that an overload is applied to the cover.

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to one embodiment. Fig. 1 shows the cooler box 1 of the present embodiment in which the lid part 3 is in an open state.

The cooler box 1 of this embodiment has a body part 2 which has the opening part 21 opened upwardly and can accommodate stored things inside, and the body part 2 similarly to the conventional one. ) to move with respect to the cover part 3 for opening and closing the opening 21 is provided. Moreover, although not shown in all figures, the locking device for holding the lid part 3 in a closed state is provided across the main body part 2 and the lid part 3 . The cooler box 1 is substantially rectangular in planar view. The lid part 3 of this embodiment is "both open", and the movement of the lid part 3 with respect to the body part 2 is, for example, two parallel long sides in planar view shape. One (long side of the upper right side, or the long side of the lower left side shown in Fig. 1) functions as a hinge, and on the other long side side, the cover part 3 is lifted and the cover part The same movement as (3) is also possible. By this movement, the lid part 3 can be made into a closed state and an open state.

The body part 2 is provided with the fixed shaft 22 shown in FIG. The fixed shaft 22 is fixedly attached to the main body 2 . In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the fixed shaft 22 is provided along two long sides in the opening part 21 of the main-body part 2, respectively. In each long side, two fixed shafts 22 are provided at positions symmetrical with respect to the center in the longitudinal direction.

The cover part 3 is a cover body 31 which occupies most of the cover part 3, and the cover part which is separate from the cover body 31 and is connected to both ends of the cover body 31 in the width direction. (32) is provided. The connection of both is made by inserting and screwing. However, the method for connecting the two is not particularly limited, and may be fitted (single), screw stop (single), adhesive, or bracket stop. The lid part 3 is provided with the lever (not shown) operated by a user, and the lock member 33 which interlock|cooperates with operation of the lever and engages with the fixed shaft 22 (refer FIG. 2). The lock member 33 has a pawl portion 331 at its tip end, and the pawl portion 331 engages with the fixed shaft 22 . This lock member 33 cooperates with the fixed shaft 22, and holds the lid part 3 in the closed state. That is, the lock member 33 and the fixed shaft 22 are part of the lock device. Moreover, the cover part 32 is provided so that the said locking device may be covered. Moreover, the fixed shaft 22 and the lock member 33 in an engaged state also function as a hinge mechanism which rotates the cover part 3 with respect to the main body part 2 . The part shown in FIG. 1 where the main body part 2 and the lid part 3 were connected is a part functioning as a hinge mechanism. The lock member 33 is provided in the cover part 32 . That is, the cover part 32 has a part of the hinge mechanism for rotating the cover part 3 with respect to the main body part.

Since the cover body 31 and the cover part 32 are not integrated except for the connection part, when the cover body 31 receives an external force, the cover body 31 and the cover part 32 show different behavior. . Specifically, in the open state, that is, in the normal state, the force in the direction of further opening the lid portion 3 from the state in which the lid portion 3 is in the predetermined open position of the full opening (Explanation of this embodiment) In , when such force is referred to as "overload") is applied to the cover part 3, the cover body 31 and the cover part 32 are separate bodies, and since they are not integrated except for the connection part, the hinge The rotation angle of the cover body 31 with respect to the body part 2 which is relatively far from the mechanism becomes larger than the rotation angle of the cover part 32 which is relatively close from the hinge mechanism. That is, the cover body 31 and the cover part 32 placed side by side on a straight line change into a substantially V-shaped arrangement. For this reason, the clearance gap between the cover main body 31 and the cover part 32 becomes large when an overload is applied.

An interposition member 4 is interposed between the cover body 31 and the cover portion 32 . The intervening member 4 is formed separately from the cover body 31 and the cover portion 32 . The intervening member 4 has, for example, a shape shown in FIG. 3 . In the cooler box 1 of this embodiment, in each long side of the main body part 2, the two interposition bodies 4 are attached. Each of these two intervening bodies 4 has a symmetrical shape (left-right symmetrical shape). The interposition member 4 is made of resin (in this embodiment, it is made of POM resin) and is solid (however, it can be made hollow). The intervening body 4 mainly has a main body 41 , an engaging portion 42 , and an inclined surface 43 .

The main body 41 is a columnar part, and when it arrange|positions in the cover part 3, the longitudinal direction follows the thickness direction of the cover part 3 . The engaging portion 42 is a protrusion in the shape of a deformed quadrangular pyramid protruding to the side of the main body 41 . In this embodiment, the upper surface (surface on the inner surface side of the cover part 3) shown in FIG. 3 is a flat surface, and the lower surface becomes a slope. When this upper surface is arrange|positioned in the cover part 3 as shown in FIG. 5, it abuts against the inner surface of the recessed part 3211 in the cover part 32. As shown in FIG. The slope 43 is a surface formed on the side of the main body 41, and is a surface different from the surface on which the engaging portion 42 is formed in the main body 41 (surface adjacent to the surface in this embodiment). As shown in FIG. 5, when it arrange|positions in the cover part 3, it is a surface inclined with respect to the inside-out direction (up-and-down direction in illustration) in the planar view of the cover part 3. As shown in FIG. In this embodiment, it is a flat surface (however, a curved surface may be sufficient).

The interposition member 4 is disposed at a predetermined intervening position A, which is a position where a gap between the cover body 31 and the cover part 32 exists. In this embodiment, the intervening body 4 is pinched|interposed from the left side in FIG. 2 to the right side. 4 shows the flat side (outer surface side in the cooler box 1) and the bottom surface side (the inner surface side in the cooler box 1) of the cover part 3 in reverse, The intervening body 4 is inserted from the upper direction in this FIG. 4 to the downward direction (refer arrow in FIG. 4). By this fitting, the interposition member 4 is arranged at the predetermined interposition position A (however, in FIG. 4, the body part connected to the cover body 31 among the cover parts 32 is omitted from illustration. ). In addition, the interposition body 4 may be arrange|positioned at the predetermined interposition position A before or simultaneously with assembly of the cover body 31 and the cover part 32, The arrangement|positioning method of the interposition body 4 is not limited to embedding.

5 shows the positional relationship between the cover body 31, the cover part 32, and the interposition member 4 when viewed from the cross section of the state arranged at the predetermined intervening position A. As shown in FIG. Here, the end face of the cover part 32 opposite to the cover body 31 serves as the engaging surface 321 . And corresponding to this, the interposition member 4 has the engaging part 42 positioned with respect to the cover main body 31 by engaging with the engaging surface 321 of the cover part 32. As shown in FIG.

A concave portion 3211 opened toward the lid body 31 is formed in the engaging surface 321 . This concave portion 3211 is a portion partitioned by ribs on the engaging surface 321 . The engaging portion 42 of the intervening member 4 is a projection protruding from the main body 41 . As shown in FIG. 5 , the engaging portion 42 of the interposition member 4 disposed at the predetermined intervening position A squeezes into the concave portion 3211 of the engaging surface 321 . For this reason, when the interposition member 4 is interposed between the cover body 31 and the cover part 32, the engaging part 42 engages the engaging surface 321, so that the interposition member 4 The intervening state is stabilized.

At least one of the cover body 31 or the cover part 32 from the predetermined intervening position A when the intervening body 4 receives an external force to further open the lid part 3 from the predetermined opening position. causes a positional shift with respect to This positional shift will be described below.

When the cover body 31 moves with respect to the cover part 32 , the gap between the cover part 32 and the cover body 31 is sequentially widened at the predetermined intervening position A . In association with this, the intervening body 4 rotates about the axis. The rotational direction at the position in FIG. 5 is a counterclockwise direction. As this rotation continues, the engaging portion 42 of the intervening member 4 is disengaged from the recessed portion 3211 of the cover 32 , and thus the interposed member 4 is disengaged from the predetermined intervening position A. As shown in FIG.

In this way, when the interposition 4 shifts in position, a sound is first sounded (auditory notification). Next, the intervening member 4 is removed from the cover body 31 and the cover portion 32 (visual notification). In this way, abnormality (for example, overload is applied to the cover part 3) to a user can be informed. In particular, in this embodiment, since it becomes a two-step notification, the opportunity for a user to detect an abnormality can be doubled. In addition, you may make a tactile notification by conveying the vibration etc. accompanying the position shift of the interposition object 4 to a user together with the said auditory notification and a visual notification. In this tactile notification, for example, the interposition member 4 receives the load when the user presses the cover part 3 until the cover body 31 greatly deforms with respect to the cover part 32, and the position It can be heard by the user's hand feeling as a feeling of resistance that the said load rises by shifting|deviates.

The slope 43 of the interposition member 4 of the present embodiment suppresses rotation of the interposition member 4 itself when the position is shifted. On this slope 43, the cover body 31 moves with respect to the cover part 32 in a state in which the cover part 3 receives an external force to further open from the predetermined opening position (as indicated by arrow 31M in FIG. 5). direction), in contact with the rib 311 which is a part of the cover body 31 . The rib 311 is a plate-shaped part formed so that it may extend in the thickness direction of the cover part 3 . Here, when there is no rib 311, the cover body 31 moves with respect to the cover part 32 as mentioned above, ie, the interposition member 4 rotates. Due to this rotation, the engaging portion 42 of the interposition member 4 is released from the concave portion 3211 of the cover portion 32 , and the interposition member 4 starts movement of the cover body 31 . It will come off from the predetermined intervening position A in a short time.

On the other hand, when there is a rib 311, a part of the force of movement of the cover body 31 with respect to the cover portion 32 is transferred to the contact point 311P, which is a leg portion of the rib 311. By contacting the slope 43, a component force with the contact point 311P as a starting point is converted into a force that suppresses rotation of the intervening member 4 due to the displacement. In this way, the interposition 4 having the inclined surface 43 slows the engaging portion 42 of the interposition member 4 from coming off from the concave portion 3211 of the cover portion 32, and the intervening member 4 is is held at the predetermined intervening position A for a fixed period of time, so that it can be suppressed from slipping away from this position in a short time.

That is, when an overload in the opening direction is applied to the cover body 31 , the cover body 31 moves in a direction away from the cover part 32 (downward in FIG. 5 ). When the cover body 31 moves, the rib 311 which is a part of the cover body 31 also moves. The interposition member 4 is pressed against the moving rib 311 at the contact point 311P, but since the engaging portion 42 of the interposition member 4 abuts against the inner surface of the concave portion 3211, the interposition member ( 4) stops at the predetermined intervening position A until the lid main body 31 moves to some extent. When the interposition member 4 continues to be pressed by the rib 311 , the interposition member 4 finally starts to rotate, and finally the interposition member 4 is pulled out from the predetermined intervening position A. As shown in FIG. In addition, the time for which the intervening body 4 stops at the predetermined intervening position A is determined by the angle of the slope 43 with respect to the main body 41 or the setting of the distance between the slope 43 and the rib 311 . Can be adjusted.

Incidentally, since the rib 311 is provided on the cover body 31, as shown in FIG. 5, the gap between the cover body 31 and the cover part 32 is filled with the interposition member 4 do. For this reason, the cover body 31 and the cover part 32 which are separate bodies can be integrated into the interposition body 4 which is, so to say, a "filling material."

The interposition member 4 is reusable, and even if it is removed from the cover body 31 and the cover part 32, the user can put it back into the predetermined interposition position A and return it to exhibit the function again. . In addition, in the cooler box 1 of this embodiment, the space of the predetermined|prescribed interposition position A is the space which was formed before introduce|transducing the interposition body 4 . For this reason, even if the intervening body 4 is not inserted, it is possible to use the cooler box 1 itself.

As mentioned above, according to the cooler box 1 of this embodiment, when the inclusion body 4 shifts|deviates from the predetermined interposition position A, each or a combination of an audible notification, a visual notification, and a tactile notification abnormalities can be reported. For this reason, it is possible to make the user notice that an overload is applied to the cover, and it is possible to prompt an action to deal with it. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the cover 3 from being damaged due to cracks occurring in the cover 3 or the like.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, Various changes are possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention.

For example, although the lid part 3 of the said embodiment was "both open", in the lid part 3, about one of two parallel long sides in a planar view, the main body part 2 It can also be set as "one-sided opening" by the installation of a hinge that cannot be separated from it.

Moreover, although the locking device of the said embodiment had the fixed shaft 22 provided in the main body part 2, and the locking member 33 provided in the cover part 3, on the contrary, the main body part 2 It may have a temporary lock member, and the cover part 3 may have a fixed shaft.

In addition, in the said embodiment, the locking member 33 which has the detent part 331 and the fixed shaft 22 were comprised the hinge mechanism. However, the shape of each part of the hinge mechanism is not limited to that of the above embodiment, and can be implemented with various changes.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, the cross section of the cover part 32 opposite to the cover main body 31 was made into the engaging surface 321. As shown in FIG. However, the engaging surface 321 is not limited to this, and one end face of the lid main body 31 or the cover part 32 opposite to the other may be the engaging surface 321 .

Moreover, in the said embodiment, the recessed part 3211 was formed in the engaging surface 321 which the cover part 32 has, and the engaging part which the interposition member 4 has was a protrusion which engages with the said recessed part. However, the cover portion 32 and the intervening member 4 can be engaged in various ways. In addition, even in the case of uneven engagement, the uneven relationship between the engagement surface 321 and the intervening member 4 may be opposite to that of the above embodiment, and may be an engagement in which a step is abutted, and the unevenness is also It can be made into various shapes.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (which shows a substantial portion of the portion shown in FIG. 4 ), the interposition member 4 may be provided with a stoppage portion 44 . In the rib 311 formed in the cover body 31 in the above embodiment, the stopper 44 is returned to a space existing on the opposite side to the intervening member 4 according to the above embodiment. The cross-sectional shape is an L-shaped part, arranged so as to By forming the stopper portion 44 in this way, even if the interposition member 4 is shifted in position, the interposition member 4 does not come off from the predetermined intervening position A. As shown in FIG. For this reason, for example, the interference|inclusion body 4 will not be lost because the interference|inclusion body 4 falls off from a shipboard or a shore.
