Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a heavy object storage device. Background Art

[0002] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-015090 discloses a technology related to a battery storage device including a battery storage box capable of storing a plurality of batteries and a storage box storage body capable of storing the plurality of battery storage boxes.

[0003] Regarding the specific structure of the battery storage device, a rail-shaped rack (rack) made of steel with an L-shaped cross section is attached to each of the pair of side frames, extending across the front and rear side frame members of the side frames. Multiple racks are attached, similar to the battery storage boxes to be stored, and these racks support the battery storage box from below on both sides in the width direction, along the depth direction of the storage box housing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-015090, a battery storage device stores batteries of the same width. However, if the battery storage boxes to be stored are recycled items that have been used in various other applications, battery storage boxes of different widths must be stored in the battery storage device.

[0005] In this case, a dedicated storage box or attachment corresponding to the width of the battery (heavy object) must be prepared, which increases the number of parts. As a result, in the prior art, the storage operation may become complicated, making it difficult to standardize the parts and thus increasing costs.

[0006] The present disclosure takes the above-mentioned facts into consideration and aims to provide a heavy object storage device capable of storing heavy objects having different widths.

[0007] Means for solving problems

[0008] The first scheme of the present disclosure is a weight storage device composed of a frame member that stores multiple weights in multiple layers in the height direction and has an entrance and exit for allowing the weights to enter and exit in a roughly horizontal direction. The weight storage device includes: multiple column members extending in the height direction of the frame member; and a pair of accessories, which extend in a roughly horizontal direction relative to the multiple column members arranged in the depth direction of the frame member and respectively support the width ends of the weights that are roughly perpendicular to the entry and exit directions of the weights. The pair of accessories include long sides and short sides, and the long sides and short sides extend in two directions roughly perpendicular to the extension direction of the accessories and the dimensions of the two directions are different from each other. The short side is formed so that the dimension is shorter than the dimension of the long side, and the long side and the short side are configured to be fixed relative to the column members and the weights, respectively.

[0009] The first embodiment of the heavy object storage device comprises a frame member that accommodates a plurality of heavy objects in multiple layers in the height direction, and the frame member is provided with an inlet and outlet for allowing the heavy objects to enter and exit in a generally horizontal direction. A column member extends in the height direction of the frame member. In addition, a pair of attachments extend in a generally horizontal direction relative to the plurality of column members arranged in the depth direction of the frame member, and the pair of attachments support the widthwise ends of the heavy objects.

[0010] The attachment includes a long side and a short side, the long side and the short side extending in two directions substantially perpendicular to the attachment's extension direction, and having different dimensions in the two directions. The short side is shorter than the long side. The long side and the short side are configured to be fixed to a pillar member and a weight, respectively.

[0011] For example, the short side of the attachment is fixed to the weight while the long side of the attachment is fixed to the pillar member, and the long side of the attachment is fixed to the weight while the short side of the attachment is fixed to the pillar member.

[0012] Since the dimensions of the long side and the short side in two directions approximately perpendicular to the extension direction of the accessory are different from each other, for example, when the width dimension of the heavy object is small, the heavy object is supported by the long side of the accessory, and when the width dimension of the heavy object is large, the heavy object is supported by the short side of the accessory.

[0013] As described above, in the heavy object storage device of the first aspect, by using attachments having different sizes of supporting portions (long sides or short sides) for supporting heavy objects, heavy objects of different widths can be supported by a single type of attachment.

[0014] That is, the distance between a pair of attachments in the width direction can be changed, and a plurality of heavy objects having different width dimensions (sizes) can be accommodated in the same heavy object accommodation device using the same attachment.

[0015] The second embodiment of the weight storage device disclosed herein is based on the first embodiment of the weight storage device, wherein the long side and the short side are provided with hole portions that can fix the long side and the short side relative to the column member or the weight via fastening connectors.

[0016] In the heavy object storage device of the second aspect, holes are respectively provided on the long side and the short side of the attachment, through which the long side and the short side can be fixed to the pillar member or the heavy object via the fastening members.

[0017] The third embodiment of the weight storage device disclosed herein is based on the second embodiment, wherein the hole portion of at least one of the long side portion and the short side portion is a long hole formed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extension direction of the accessory.

[0018] In the weight storage device of the third embodiment, the hole portion of at least one of the long side portion and the short side portion is configured as an elongated hole formed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extension direction of the attachment. For example, by configuring the hole portion fixed relative to the weight as an elongated hole, the position of the fixing portion fixed via the fastening connector can be changed.

[0019] Therefore, in the heavy object storage device of the third aspect, the position of the fixing portion can be adjusted in accordance with the width dimension of the heavy object, and the variation in the width dimension of the heavy object that can be stored can be further increased.

[0020] The fourth embodiment of the weight storage device disclosed herein is based on the second embodiment, wherein the hole portion of at least one of the long side portion and the short side portion is provided with a plurality of circular holes along a direction substantially orthogonal to the extension direction of the accessory.

[0021] In the weight storage device of the fourth embodiment, the hole portion of at least one of the long side portion and the short side portion is configured to have a plurality of circular holes formed in the long side portion or the short side portion along a direction substantially orthogonal to the extension direction of the attachment. For example, by configuring the hole portion fixed relative to the weight to have a plurality of circular holes, the position of the fixing portion fixed via the fastening connector can be changed.

[0022] Therefore, in the weight storage device of the fourth scheme, the position of the fixing part can be adjusted to match the width dimension of the weight object. When the change in the width dimension of the weight object is limited, the fastening connector can be fixed to the weight object by utilizing the circular hole, so that the long side and short side can be fixed more firmly relative to the weight object.

[0023] A fifth aspect of the present disclosure provides the heavy object storage device according to the first aspect, wherein the attachment has a substantially L-shaped shape when viewed from the extending direction.

[0024] In the heavy object storage device of the fifth aspect, the attachment has a substantially L-shaped shape when viewed from the extending direction, and is configured to include long sides and short sides having different dimensions in a longitudinal direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction.

[0025] The sixth embodiment of the weight storage device disclosed herein is based on the first embodiment of the weight storage device, in which a plurality of first fixing holes are provided on the column component, and the plurality of first fixing holes are formed along the height direction of the column component and can fix the long side portion or the short side portion relative to the column component via a fastening connector.

[0026] In the weight storage device of the sixth embodiment, a plurality of first fixing holes are formed in the column member along the height direction, so that the long side or short side of the accessory can be fixed relative to the column member via a fastening connector. In this way, by fixing the plurality of accessories along the height direction of the column member, the weight storage device can store a plurality of weights in multiple layers in the height direction and can also store weights of different heights.

[0027] The weight object storage device of the seventh embodiment of the present invention is based on the weight object storage device of the first embodiment, in which a flange portion extending toward the outside of the width direction of the weight object is formed on at least one of the two ends in the width direction of the weight object, and the long side portion or the short side portion is configured to abut and be fixed to the lower surface of the flange portion.

[0028] In the weight storage device of the seventh embodiment, a flange portion is provided on at least one of the widthwise ends of the weight. The flange portion is formed to extend outwardly in the widthwise direction of the weight. The long side or short side of the accessory is configured to abut and be fixed to the lower surface of the flange portion.

[0029] For example, if the heavy object is a vehicle-mounted battery, a flange may be formed on the outer side of the battery in the width direction, and the battery is fastened to the rocker via this flange. In this case, a fastening hole is formed in the flange for fastening. The flange can be secured to the accessory using this fastening hole.

[0030] The weight object storage device of the eighth scheme of the present disclosure is based on the weight object storage device of the seventh scheme, and is provided with hole portions on the long side and the short side, which can fix the long side and the short side relative to the column member or the weight object via fastening connectors, respectively, and a plurality of second fixing holes are formed on the flange portion along the entry and exit direction of the weight object, and a plurality of hole portions are formed along the extension direction of the accessory corresponding to the second fixing holes.

[0031] In the weight storage device of the eighth scheme, multiple second fixing holes are formed in the flange portion along the direction of entry and exit of the weight, and multiple holes are formed in the long side and short side portions corresponding to the second fixing holes along the extension direction of the accessory.

[0032] The second fixing hole formed in the flange portion of the weight and the hole portion formed in the long side portion or the short side portion of the attachment can be made to correspond to each other, so that the weight can be fixed to the attachment via the fastening member.

[0033] A ninth aspect of the present disclosure provides a heavy object storage device according to the first aspect, wherein the heavy object is a battery.

[0034] In the weight storage device of the 9th scheme, the weight is a battery, and the battery is stored in the weight storage device. In the present disclosure, batteries with different widths can be stored, so that, for example, a reused battery used in other applications other than a vehicle battery can be stored in the same weight storage device.

[0035] As described above, the heavy object storage device of the present disclosure can store heavy objects having different widths. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0060] Hereinafter, a heavy object storage device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described using the drawings.

[0061] (Structure of Heavy Object Storage Device)

[0062] First, the configuration of a heavy object storage device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described.

[0063] exist Figure 1A battery pack storage device 10 is shown as a heavy object storage device in this embodiment. The battery pack storage device 10 is composed of a frame member 12 and has a rectangular box shape. For example, in this embodiment, the battery pack storage device 10 includes a front frame portion 14 and a rear frame portion 16. The front frame portion 14 forms the front end of the battery pack storage device 10, and the rear frame portion 16 forms the rear end of the battery pack storage device 10.

[0064] The front frame 14 includes a pair of pillar members 18 extending along the height of the battery pack housing device 10 (front frame 14). The lower ends of the pillar members 18 are connected by a lower beam member 22, while the upper ends of the pillar members 18 are connected by an upper beam member 24. In other words, the front frame 14 includes the pair of pillar members 18, the lower beam member 22, and the upper beam member 24.

[0065] Furthermore, the rear frame 16 includes a pair of column members 20 extending along the height of the battery pack housing 10 (rear frame 16). The lower ends of the column members 20 are connected by a lower beam member 26, and the upper ends of the column members 20 are connected by an upper beam member 28. In other words, the rear frame 16 includes the pair of column members 20, the lower beam member 26, and the upper beam member 28. While these beam members are shown as rectangular parallelepipeds, channel steel, H-steel, and the like may be used, for example.

[0066] The lower ends of the pair of pillar members 18 constituting the front frame portion 14 and the lower ends of the pair of pillar members 20 constituting the rear frame portion 16 are respectively bridged by a pair of lower beam members 30. Furthermore, the upper ends of the pair of pillar members 18 constituting the front frame portion 14 and the upper ends of the pair of pillar members 20 constituting the rear frame portion 16 are respectively bridged by a pair of upper beam members 32.

[0067] The lower beam member 22 of the front frame portion 14, the lower beam member 26 of the rear frame portion 16, and the pair of lower beam members 30 constitute a lower frame portion 34, and the upper beam member 24 of the front frame portion 14, the upper beam member 28 of the rear frame portion 16, and the pair of upper beam members 32 constitute an upper frame portion 36. Furthermore, the pillar members 18 of the front frame portion 14, the pillar members 20 of the rear frame portion 16, the lower beam member 30, and the upper beam member 32 constitute a pair of side frame portions 38 and 40.

[0068] Thus, the battery pack (storage battery) 11 can be housed within the frame member 12, which is comprised of the front frame 14, rear frame 16, lower frame 34, upper frame 36, and a pair of side frame sections 38 and 40. The opening 15 of the front frame 14 serves as an entrance and exit for the battery pack 11. Therefore, in the following description, this opening will be referred to as the entrance and exit 15.

[0069] The lower frame portion 34 also forms the base of the battery pack storage device 10. For example, a pair of legs 42 extending in the front-to-rear direction of the battery pack storage device 10 are suspended from the lower surface of the lower frame portion 34 at both ends of the battery pack storage device 10 in the width direction. Although shown as rectangular parallelepipeds, the legs 42 can be made of steel, such as H-steel, and can be fixed to the mounting surface 44. Furthermore, multiple beam members 46 are provided within the lower frame portion 34, capable of contacting the mounting surface 44 and spanning between the pair of lower beam members 30.

[0070] On the other hand, a plurality of beam members 48 are provided within the upper frame portion 36, extending between the pair of upper beam members 32. Furthermore, a plurality of column members 50 are provided within the pair of side frame portions 38, 40, extending between the upper beam member 32 and the lower beam member 30. The column members 50 have a plurality of fixing holes (first fixing holes) 52 formed along the height direction, through which fastening members 54 such as bolts can be fixed.

[0071] In the present embodiment, the attachments 56 are spanned (extended) between the column members 18 and 20 in a substantially horizontal direction, and the battery pack 11 is supported by the attachments 56 .

[0072] like Figure 3A 、 Figure 3B As shown, the attachment 56 is formed of, for example, a steel plate into a substantially L-shape, and is set to a length that allows it to extend in the depth direction of the battery pack housing device 10 .

[0073] The attachment 56 includes a long side 58 and a short side 60 having different lengths L1 and L2 (L1>L2) along two directions substantially perpendicular to the extension direction. The long side 58 and the short side 60 are configured to be fixed to the pillar members 18, 20, 50 and the battery pack 11, respectively.

[0074] The long side portion 58 has a long hole 58A formed along the longitudinal direction, and the fastening member 54 (see FIG. Figure 1 ), the long side portion 58 is fixed relative to the column member 18, 20, 50 or the battery pack 11.

[0075] On the other hand, a circular hole 60A is formed in the short side portion 60, and a fastening member 54 (see FIG. Figure 1 ), the short side portion 60 is fixed to the battery pack 11 or the column members 18, 20, 50. The long hole 58A and the round hole 60A are provided on the same line along the width direction of the attachment 56, and a plurality of them are provided along the extension direction of the attachment 56 (described later).

[0076] On the other hand, Figure 4As shown, the battery pack 11 has a generally rectangular plate shape when viewed from above, with flanges 13 extending outward from both widthwise ends. Consequently, when viewed from the front, the battery pack 11 is cut into a generally L-shaped shape at its lower and upper widthwise ends. In other words, the top and bottom surfaces of the battery pack 11 are stepped.

[0077] Although not shown, the battery pack 11 is mounted to a pair of side sills extending in the vehicle front-rear direction at both widthwise ends of the vehicle floor panel via the flange portion 13. Therefore, the flange portion 13 has a plurality of fixing holes (second fixing holes) 13A for mounting.

[0078] As described above, the attachment 56 includes a plurality of elongated holes 58A and circular holes 60A provided along the extending direction of the attachment 56 , and formed to match the pitch of the fixing holes 13A formed in the flange portion 13 .

[0079] Therefore, when the lower surface 13B of the flange portion 13 of the battery pack 11 is in contact with the attachment 56, the fixing hole 13A of the flange portion 13 and the long hole 58A or the round hole 60A of the attachment 56 are substantially aligned, and the fastening member 62 (see FIG. Figure 2 ) is inserted. The battery pack 11 is fixed relative to the attachment 56 via the fastening connector 62. In addition, the battery pack 11 is not necessarily limited to vehicle-mounted use. Figure 2 , the shape of the battery pack 11 is simplified.

[0080] (Function and Effect of Heavy Object Storage Device)

[0081] Next, the operation and effects of the heavy object storage device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described.

[0082] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the battery pack housing device 10 is composed of a frame member 12 that stores a plurality of battery packs 11 in multiple layers in the height direction. The frame member 12 is provided with an inlet and outlet 15 for allowing the battery packs 11 to enter and exit in a substantially horizontal direction.

[0083] The frame member 12 is provided with pillar members 18 and 20 extending in the height direction of the frame member 12. Furthermore, a pair of attachments 56 extend substantially horizontally relative to the plurality of pillar members 18, 20, and 50 arranged in the depth direction of the frame member 12, and the pair of attachments 56 respectively support both ends of the battery pack 11 in the width direction.

[0084] Here, the Annex 56 is as follows Figure 3A 、 Figure 3BAs shown, the structure includes a long side 58 and a short side 60. The long side 58 and the short side 60 have different lengths in two directions substantially perpendicular to the extending direction and are formed substantially perpendicular to each other. The long side 58 and the short side 60 are respectively configured to be fixed to the pillar members 18, 20, 50 and the battery pack 11.

[0085] That is, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, with the long side 58 of the attachment 56 fixed to the pillar members 18, 20, and 50, the short side 60 of the attachment 56 is fixed to the battery pack 11A. Furthermore, with the short side 60 of the attachment 56 fixed to the pillar members 18, 20, and 50, the long side 58 of the attachment 56 is fixed to the battery packs 11B and 11C, respectively.

[0086] Alternatively, the short side 60 of the attachment 56 may be fixed to the pillar members 18, 20, 50 of the side frame portion 38, and the long side 58 of the attachment 56 may be fixed to the pillar members 18, 20, 50 of the side frame portion 40. In this case, the long side 58 of the attachment 56 on the pillar members 18, 20, 50 of the side frame portion 38 and the short side 60 of the attachment 56 on the pillar members 18, 20, 50 of the side frame portion 40 are each fixed to the battery pack 11D.

[0087] As described above, in this embodiment, the attachment 56 has different sizes for the long sides 58 and short sides 60 that support the battery pack 11. Therefore, for example, when the width is small, as in the case of battery pack 11B, the long sides 58 of the attachment 56 support the battery pack 11B. When the width is large, as in the case of battery pack 11A, the short sides 60 of the attachment 56 support the battery pack 11A.

[0088] As described above, in this embodiment, by using attachments 56 having different sizes of supporting portions (long sides 58 or short sides 60 ) for supporting the battery pack 11 , one type of attachment 56 can support battery packs 11A and 11B having different widths.

[0089] That is, in this embodiment, the distance in the width direction between the pair of attachments 56 can be changed, and multiple battery packs 11A, 11B, etc. having different width dimensions (sizes) can be accommodated in the same battery pack accommodation device 10 using the same attachment 56. In other words, in this embodiment, there is no need to prepare a dedicated battery pack accommodation device 10 for each size of battery pack 11.

[0090] In this embodiment, the attachment 56 includes a long side 58 and a short side 60, and an elongated hole 58A is formed along the length of the long side 58. The elongated hole 58A allows the long side 58 to be fixed to the pillar member 18, 20, 50 or the battery pack 11 via the fastening members 54, 62.

[0091] As described above, in this embodiment, by forming long holes 58A in long side portions 58, the positions of battery packs 11B and 11C can be adjusted to match their widthwise dimensions, similar to battery packs 11B and 11C. Therefore, in this embodiment, the width dimensions of battery packs 11A, 11B, 11C, and 11D that can be accommodated in battery pack storage device 10 can be further varied.

[0092] In addition, in this embodiment, a circular hole 60A is formed in the short side portion 60. By using the circular hole 60A to fix the short side portion 60 to the column member 18, 20, 50 or the battery pack 11A via the fastening connectors 54, 62, the short side portion 60 can be fixed more firmly to the column member 18, 20, 50 or the battery pack 11A.

[0093] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a plurality of fixing holes 52 are provided in the column member 50 along the height direction, and the long side 58 or the short side 60 of the attachment 56 can be fixed to the column member 50 via the fastening fittings 54 .

[0094] As described above, in this embodiment, by fixing the plurality of attachments 56 along the height direction of the pillar member 50 , the battery pack storage device 10 can store a plurality of battery packs 11 in multiple layers in the height direction and can also store heavy objects of different heights.

[0095] In this embodiment, the battery pack 11 is provided with a pair of flanges 13 extending outward from both ends in the width direction of the battery pack 11. The long side 58 or short side 60 of the attachment 56 is configured to abut and be fixed to the lower surface 13B of the flanges 13.

[0096] The vehicle-mounted battery pack 11 has a flange portion 13 formed on the outer side in the width direction of the battery pack 11. The battery pack 11 is fastened to a side sill (not shown) via the flange portion 13. Therefore, the flange portion 13 has fixing holes 13A formed therein for fastening. In this embodiment, the flange portion 13 can be fixed to the attachment 56 using these fixing holes 13A.

[0097] In this embodiment, the flange portion 13 has a plurality of fixing holes 13A formed along the insertion and removal direction of the battery pack 11 , and a plurality of elongated holes 58A and circular holes 60A are formed along the extension direction of the attachment 56 corresponding to the fixing holes 13A.

[0098] In this embodiment, the battery pack 11 can be fixed relative to the accessory 56 via the fastening connector 54 by correspondingly forming the fixing hole 13A formed at the flange portion 13 of the battery pack 11, the long hole 58A formed at the long side portion 58 of the accessory 56, or the circular hole 60A formed at the short side portion 60.

[0099] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the battery pack 11 is a storage battery, and a plurality of storage batteries are housed in the battery pack housing device 10. In this embodiment, batteries of varying widths can be housed, and thus, for example, even batteries that have been reused for applications other than vehicle batteries can be housed in the battery pack housing device 10.

[0100] <Supplementary Explanation of the Above-mentioned Embodiment>

[0101] In the above embodiment, as a heavy object storage device, Figure 2 The battery pack storage device 10 that stores the battery pack 11 as shown has been described above. However, any storage device that stores heavy objects is sufficient, and therefore the heavy objects are not limited to battery packs.

[0102] In addition, in the above embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the battery pack storage device 10 is provided with an access port 15 on the front frame 14 side, and the battery pack 11 can be taken in and out through the access port 15 . However, the battery pack 11 can also be taken in and out through the rear frame 16 .

[0103] Moreover, in the above embodiment, the battery pack housing device 10 is composed of a frame member 12 including a front frame portion 14, a rear frame portion 16, a lower frame portion 34, an upper frame portion 36 and a pair of side frame portions 38, 40. Each frame portion is connected to the outside. Of course, a wall portion that separates the frame from the outside can also be set according to the frame portion.

[0104] In addition, in the above embodiment, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the attachment 56 is formed into a substantially L-shape by a long side 58 and a short side 60, but is not limited thereto. For example, although not shown, ribs may be provided on the inner surface of the attachment 56 to reinforce the long side 58 and the short side 60.

[0105] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the long side 58 of the attachment 56 has the long hole 58A formed along the longitudinal direction, but a plurality of circular holes may be formed along the longitudinal direction of the long side 58. This is preferable from the perspective of the rigidity of the long side 58 when the variation in the width dimension of the battery pack 11 is limited to a certain extent.

[0106] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the circular hole 60A is formed in the short side 60 of the attachment 56 . However, a long hole may be formed along the length direction of the short side 60 , or a plurality of circular holes may be formed along the length direction of the short side 60 .

[0107] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the flange portions 13 extend from both ends in the width direction of the battery pack 11 , and the flange portions 13 are fixed to the attachments 56 , respectively. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0108] For example, the flange portion 13 may extend only at one end in the width direction of the battery pack 11. Furthermore, depending on the battery pack 11 (e.g., battery packs 11B and 11D), the flange portion 13 may not be formed.
