[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides, for example, a can spacer with an annular zone that prevents damage to the annular zone during transportation of a can with an annular zone that has an annular zone formed on the body thereof, such as a drum, and the annular zone attached. The present invention relates to a can transportation system with an annular zone using a can spacer.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, as shown in FIG. 11, a drum can 1 for 200 liters defined in JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) Z 1601 has an annular portion 3 that is convex in the can diameter direction at the body portion 2. It is formed in two places along the circumference and along the can axis direction. When transporting such drum cans 1 by truck, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, from the rear side of the loading platform, for example, 4 cans in the vehicle width direction and 3 cans in the vehicle height direction are stacked, totaling about 200 cans. Loaded. When loading, as many drum cans 1 are loaded as possible, the ring zones 3 are in contact with each other between the drum cans 1 adjacent in the vehicle length direction, as shown in FIG. Therefore, the drums 1 are rubbed against each other by the vibration of the truck during transportation, and the phenomenon that the paint on the annular zone 3 is peeled off or scratched occurs. Such peeling of the coating has a problem of deteriorating the appearance of the drum 1 and further causing rust. Therefore, in order to prevent the peeling of the paint or the like, conventionally, for example, a method of preventing the ring zones 3 from directly contacting each other by covering the drum can 1 with a hemp bag or the like has been adopted.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above-described method of covering the hemp bag is time-consuming and difficult to shorten the working time, and dust is generated by hanging the hemp bag on a narrow and closed loading platform, so the working environment is very high. In addition, there is a problem that the life of a hemp bag or the like is short and it is sometimes used with a hole, and there is also a problem that the cost is increased due to such a problem.
The present invention has been made to solve such problems. The work environment is improved, the arrangement and the loading work are facilitated, and the ring zone is not damaged during the arrangement, loading and transportation.

[0009]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An annular can-equipped spacer in an embodiment of the present invention and an annular can-equipped can transport system using the annular zone-equipped can spacer will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the same component in each figure. In addition, as an example of fulfilling the function of the “can with ring zone” described in “Means for Solving the Problems” in the present embodiment, the drum can 1 for 200 liters defined in JIS Z 1601 and shown in FIG. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a can having an annular portion corresponds to this. Moreover, in the following description, the case where the above-mentioned spacer for cans with an annular zone is used at the time of loading and transporting the drum can 1 to the truck bed is taken as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. It can also be used when simply arranging the cans with ring zones.
[0010]
When the drum can 1 is loaded on a vehicle, for example, a truck, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the drum can 1 is arranged along the row direction 52, which is the vehicle width direction, on the loading platform 51 of the truck 50. These four cans are arranged from the loading platform back side to the loading port side along the row direction 53 which is the vehicle length direction while being stacked in three stages along the vehicle height direction 54 which is the can axis direction. When arranging the drum cans 1 in the row direction 52, first, in the row direction 52, the drum cans 1 are respectively arranged on both sides of the vehicle width, and then the remaining two cans are arranged in the central portion. A gap 56 of about 5 mm is provided between the annular zones 3 facing each other. Actually, the dimensions of the loading platform 51 in the row direction 52 are designed so as to have such an arrangement interval. After the arrangement in the both sides, the dimension is arranged with a gap in the central portion, so that the wheel As a result, a gap 56 of about 5 mm is formed between the band portions 3.
[0011]
In this way, when the drum cans 1 are arranged in 4 columns and 3 rows in the first row and the drum cans 1 are arranged in the second row, the drum cans 1 arranged in the first row and the second row Between the arranged drum cans 1, a spacer 101 for can with annular zone is formed on the outer surface 4 of the drum can 1 so that a gap 55 of several mm, preferably about 2 to 3 mm, is formed between the opposed annular zones 3. Place. The arrangement outer surface 4 is an outer surface of the body portion 2 of the drum 1 and is an outer surface other than the ring zone 3. Moreover, since the annular zone part 3 is formed at two locations in the can axis direction, the arrangement outer surface 4 can be divided into three parts: an upper arrangement outer surface 4a, a center arrangement outer surface 4b, and a lower arrangement outer surface 4c. .
The above-mentioned can spacer 101 with the annular zone portion may be attached to any of the upper arrangement outer surface 4a, the central arrangement outer surface 4b, and the lower arrangement outer surface 4c, but is generally easy to attach to the central arrangement outer surface 4b. is there. However, since the drum cans 1 arranged in the third stage are located at a height exceeding the height of the operator, it is easy to attach the drum cans 1 to the lower arrangement outer surface 4c as shown in the drawing, which is preferable. In addition, the can spacer 101 with the annular zone portion can be arranged so as to be sandwiched between the opposed annular zone portions 3 instead of being arranged on the arrangement outer surface 4. The gap becomes wider compared to the case where the gap is arranged on the arrangement outer surface 4. Further, since the contact area between the annular zone-attached can spacer 101 and the annular zone portion 3 is small, the surface pressure becomes excessive and the life of the annular zone-attached can spacer 101 becomes very short. Therefore, it is preferable to arrange the can spacer with the annular zone 101 on the arrangement outer surface 4.
In this way, by arranging the spacers 101 with the annular zone portions on the drum cans 1 for each row, the drum zones 1 arranged in adjacent rows have a gap 55 between the annular zones 3 facing each other. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the annular zones 3 that are opposed to each other from contacting each other during loading and transporting, and to prevent the paint strips or damage in the annular zone 3 from occurring.
[0012]
The can spacer with a ring part, including the above-mentioned can spacer 101 with a ring part in the present embodiment, will be described in detail below.
The spacer for the can with the annular zone is basically constituted by the contact preventing member 111, and additionally, the attachment member 113 can be provided on the connecting member 112 or the contact preventing member 111. In addition, as described later, except for the case where the can spacer with a ring zone is supported from the ceiling of the loading platform 51 of the truck 50, or the case where the contact prevention member 111 itself can be made of a material that can be bonded to the drum can 1, etc. It is preferable to provide the attachment member 113 on the contact preventing member 111 because the handling of the spacer 101 is facilitated.
[0013]
That is, the most basic form of the spacer for the can with the annular zone is the form of the spacer 102 for the can with the annular zone comprising only the contact preventing member 111 shown in FIG. 4, and the adjacent drum can as shown in FIG. It arrange | positions at the said arrangement | positioning outer surface 4 of one drum can 1 in the adjacent location of one. FIG. 6 illustrates an example in which the can spacer 102 with the annular zone portion is arranged on the arrangement outer surface 4c of the drum can 1 arranged at the third stage, and the annular zone with only the contact preventing member 111 is attached. The location of the can spacer 102 is not limited.
Moreover, in the can spacer 102 with the annular zone portion, the contact surface 102 a that contacts the outer surface 4 is shaped with a curved surface that matches or substantially matches the curvature of the outer surface 4. By shaping into such a curved surface, the contact area of the contact surface 102a with the arrangement outer surface 4 is increased, the positioning of the spacer 102 is facilitated, and further, a contact preventing member in the circumferential direction of the arrangement outer surface 4 of the drum 1 is provided. It is preferable because the drums 1 adjacent to each other can be surely separated even when the 111 is arranged slightly deviated. However, the contact surface 102a may be a flat surface instead of a curved surface due to demand for cost reduction or the like. Good.
[0014]
The contact prevention member 111 is arranged on the arrangement outer surface 4 of one drum can 1 in the vicinity of adjacent drum cans 1, and the projecting dimension 5 of the ring zone portion 3 from the arrangement outer surface 4 in the diameter direction of the drum can 1. The thickness 114 is more than twice the above, and the contact between the adjacent ring zones 3 in the two adjacent drum cans 1 is prevented. Since an easily deformable member cannot exert such a function, the contact preventing member 111 is preferably made of a resin material having almost no elasticity, such as polypropylene or wood.
In the case of this embodiment, since the protruding dimension 5 of the drum can 1 is about 9 mm, the thickness 114 is designed to be about 20 to 21 mm. Therefore, by sandwiching the contact prevention member 111 between the drums 1, a gap 55 of about 2 to 3 mm is generated between the annular zones 3 facing each other.
[0015]
It is preferable that the attachment member 113 is attached to the contact surface 102a in contact with the outer surface 4 of the arrangement in the annular spacer 102 with the annular portion. Specifically, the mounting member 113 may be, for example, a sheet-shaped magnet, an adhesive tape, or the like, but is not limited thereto. Any material can be used as long as it can be easily and repeatedly attached and detached, and has an adhesive force that does not come off the drum 1 during loading and transporting.
[0016]
The can for the annular zone can also take the form of the canned spacer 104 for the annular zone as shown in FIG. 3 by connecting the above-mentioned spacer 102 for the annular zone with the connecting member 112. it can. It is preferable to use a hollow pipe or the like made of resin, for example, having a diameter of about 8 to 11 mm because the connecting member 112 in the ring-shaped can spacer 104 is relatively light and has sufficient strength. In addition, the can spacer 104 with the ring part shown in FIG. 3 connects the two contact prevention members 111, but is not limited thereto, and may be a form in which three or more are connected. . Further, although the contact preventing member 111 of the annular spacer with can 104 shown in FIG. 3 shows a case where the contact surface 102a is flat, it may be formed of a curved surface as described above.
Thus, the contact prevention member 111 is arrange | positioned with one operation | movement with respect to the several drum can 1 by comprising the spacer for cans with a ring zone part which connected the some contact prevention member 111 with the connection member 112. FIG. It is possible to improve work efficiency.
[0017]
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, as a spacer for a can with an annular zone in which the contact preventing member 111 is connected by the connecting member 112, the can with an annular zone in which the contact preventing member 111 and the connecting member 112 are integrally formed. The shape of the spacer 105 for use can also be taken. 2, the contact surface 102a of the contact preventing member 111 is illustrated as being flat, but it may be configured as a curved surface as described above.
[0018]
The ring-shaped can spacer 101 corresponds to a modification of the ring-shaped can spacer 105. In the case of the ring-shaped can spacer 105, the contact prevention member 111 and the connecting member 112 are integrally formed, so that the cost is relatively high. Therefore, the contact preventing member 111 is divided into two parts, a first contact part 111a on which the contact surface 102a is formed and a second contact part 111b. Furthermore, since the second contact portion 111b is integrally formed with the connection member 112 in the annular zone can spacer 101, as a result, the first contact member is also used as a contact prevention member. The contact portion 111a is attached. The arrangement pitch 115 of the contact preventing member 111 in the can spacer 101 with a ring part is about 600 mm, and the width dimension 116 shown in FIG. 6 of the can spacer 101 with a ring part is about 50 mm. Further, in one embodiment, the contact preventing member 111 and the connecting member 112 of the annular zone can spacer 101 are made of a polypropylene material.
In addition, the can spacer 101 with the annular zone portion has a form in which the above-described contact prevention members 111 arranged in the same row are connected by the connection member 112. The number of contact prevention members 111 to be connected is as follows. Is not limited to the above four, but may be two or three. Further, depending on the vehicle to be loaded, a form in which five or more are connected may be used. In addition, what is shown with the code | symbol 103 in FIG. 6 has shown the spacer for cans with a ring part at the time of connecting the two contact prevention members 111 with the spacer 101 for cans with a ring part.
Further, in the annular spacer with can 101, the contact surface 102a of the contact prevention member 111 is illustrated as a curved surface, but may be configured flat as described above.
[0019]
In the above description, the annular spacer with can 101 is arranged so as to extend along the column direction 52, but in addition to this, it is arranged so as to extend along the row direction 53. May be. In addition, when the gap between the annular zone portions 3 of the drum can 1 can be secured between the rows, the can spacer with the annular zone portion can be disposed only along the row direction 53.
In addition, when the drum cans 1 are not arranged in an orderly manner in the row and column directions but are simply arranged adjacent to each other, the arrangement outer surface 4 of one drum can 1 in the vicinity of the adjacent drum cans 1 may, for example, A can spacer 102 with an annular zone can be attached.
[0020]
By using the ring-shaped can spacer 101 or the like as described above, when the drum can 1 is loaded, the operator only has to place the ring-shaped can spacer on the drum 1. The work time can be shortened compared to the work to hang the hemp bag on, and the work environment can be maintained better than the conventional one with almost no dust generation as in the case of the hemp bag, etc. The effect that the lifetime is longer than that of a hemp bag or the like is obtained, and as a result, the overall cost can be reduced.
[0021]
By using the above-described can spacer 101 with an annular portion and further adopting a structure as described below for the truck 50 for transporting the drum 1, the annular portion 3 when the drum 1 is transported. It is possible to construct a transportation system that can more effectively prevent paint baldness and damage.
As described above, when the drum cans 1 are loaded onto the loading platform 51, the drum cans 1 arranged in the row direction 52 have a gap 56 of about 5 mm between the opposed ring zones 3. In order to maintain the gap 56 during transportation, for example, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the ceiling 57 of the truck 50 has two elastic members such as rubber materials with respect to the drums 1 per row. The truck 50 is provided with an elevating device 60 that extends the material 58 along the row direction 52 and further includes a drive source 59 and moves the ceiling 57 up and down in the axial direction 61 of the loaded drums 1. The vehicle-side contact prevention device is configured by the ceiling 57 having the elastic member 58 and the lifting / lowering device 60 having a drive source 59 that lifts and lowers the ceiling 57.
[0022]
With this configuration, after loading all the drums 1, the ceiling 57 is lowered by the lifting device 60 and the drums 1 are pressed in the axial direction 61 by the elastic material 58, thereby suppressing the vibration of each drum 1. The gap 56 is maintained during transportation. Therefore, in the row direction 52, it is possible to prevent the peeling or damage of the coating from occurring in the annular zone 3 facing the drum 1. On the other hand, as described above, since the annular spacer with spacer 101 or the like is provided in the row direction 53, paint peeling or damage is applied to the opposite annular zone 3 of the drum can 1 in the row direction 53. Can be prevented.
Furthermore, by adopting an air suspension for the suspension of the truck 50, the vibration and shaking of the loading platform 51 during transportation can be reduced, and further, it is possible to prevent the paint strip and damage from being generated in the annular zone 3. Is possible.
[0023]
Further, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the canned spacer 101 with an annular portion is suspended from the ceiling 57 as described above. That is, on the ceiling 57, corresponding to the drum cans 1 arranged in each row, a spacer suspension device 70 capable of storing and pulling out the can spacers 101 with ring zones is arranged for each row.
The spacer suspending device 70 has a form such as a cable reel, and has three annular zones at intervals arranged on the arrangement outer surface 4 of each stage of the drum cans 1 stacked in three stages as described above. A member in which both end portions of the part-attached can spacers 101, 103, 104 and the like are connected by a string 71 or the like is wound. In the following description, the can spacer 101 with an annular zone is taken as an example. At the time of loading the drum can 1, the three canned spacers 101 with the annular zone portion are pulled down by the operator and disposed corresponding to the arrangement outer surface 4 of the drum can 1 of each stage. In this case, since the annular spacer with can 101 is suspended from and supported by the ceiling 57, the mounting member 113 may not be provided on the annular zone with can spacer 101. Further, the spacer suspending device 70 is provided with a winding mechanism for the canned spacer 101 with the annular zone portion. As the hoisting mechanism, for example, a mechanism can be employed in which the cannula is released and the hoisting is performed by slightly lowering the annular zone-attached can spacer 101 once.
[0024]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, according to the can for the annular zone can according to the first aspect of the present invention, by attaching the contact preventing member to the outer surface of the can with the annular zone, A gap is secured between the opposite ring zones during arrangement, loading, and transportation. Therefore, the ring zones do not come into contact with each other, and the paint on the ring zones is not peeled off or damaged. Also, at the time of arrangement and loading, the worker only has to attach the above-mentioned spacer for can with ring zone to the above-mentioned outer surface of the can with ring zone, and the work becomes easier compared to the work of hanging the conventional hemp bag, In addition, since no dust is generated, the working environment is improved.
[0025]
In addition, according to the can transportation system with an annular portion according to the second aspect of the present invention, since the vehicle side contact prevention device is also provided on the vehicle side that transports the can with the annular portion, the annular zone adjacent in the row direction is provided. Contact between ring zones in the can with part can be prevented. Therefore, by using together with the above-mentioned can spacer with an annular zone, it is possible to prevent contact between the annular zones during transportation, and paint in the annular zone may be peeled off or damaged.
