Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a transport container for storing and transporting automobile side mirrors. [Background technology]

[0002] When transporting auto parts, bubble wrap and protective materials are used because auto parts have decorative surfaces. However, the use of bubble wrap and other materials is costly, and they must be disposed of separately from cardboard, and cannot be recycled. In addition, it has been pointed out that it is not possible to create protective materials with complex shapes to protect the decorative surfaces, so the boxes have to be made larger to separate the decorative surfaces from the inner walls of the box.

[0003] To address this issue, a technology for providing an economical packaging box for automobile parts that does not leave cardboard marks on the design surface by simple means without using air bubble cushioning material, etc., is disclosed, for example, in Patent Document 1. In this technology, in order to prevent the design surface of the automobile part from being damaged by unevenness caused by the corrugated tops of the cardboard, the surface of the cardboard that comes into contact with the design surface is compressed by a pressure means to crush the core and make it smooth. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2019-135160 DISCLOSURE OF THEINVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The technology of Patent Document 1 targets automobile parts such as fenders, bonnets, and back doors, which are made by cutting and bending thin steel sheets into a specified shape and applying a primer coat to the surface. On the other hand, side mirrors are made of resin, and the design surface is finished to the final stage at the parts factory before being transported to the assembly plant. Contact with the design surface is avoided even with packaging materials, as it can cause scratches, and contact is not permitted even with smoothed cardboard as in Patent Document 1.

[0006] The current way side mirrors are packed is that first, two sheets of film-like protective material are placed inside a plastic bag, and then the mirrors are manually placed between the protective material. They are then stored in a side mirror storage container. The side mirror storage container is made of pressed bubble cushioning material, which is adhesively fixed to a plastic cardboard box. The side mirrors, wrapped in plastic bags, are placed one by one in the storage spaces of the pressed cushioning material.

[0007] In assembly plants, the task of opening the side mirrors from the plastic bags is labor-intensive. Since it is difficult to perform this task in a fixed position, there is a problem that unmanned and labor-saving operations cannot be implemented. In addition, since the plastic bags are disposable, waste is generated.

[0008] The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and aims to enable the decorative surface of the side mirror to be stored without touching the transport container without using bubble cushioning, plastic bags, or protective materials, while also making it possible to realize a means of separating the decorative surface at low cost. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the transport container of the present invention is a transport container for side mirrors, comprising: a housing cover which is a major part of the exterior design; a mirror housing having a mirror frame which surrounds the mirror and is connected to said housing cover on its outer periphery and fits under said mirror on its inner periphery, with a ridge between the inner and outer periphery being capable of contacting a flat surface over substantially the entire circumference; and a base portion which attaches said mirror housing to an outer panel of an automobile, The present invention comprises a number of beehives with an open front, and a tray that is fixed to each of the beehives and carries the side mirror so that the base part is disposed on the open front side, the tray comprises a mounting surface which is a flat surface that contacts the ridge of the mirror frame when the side mirror is mounted, a convex portion in the center of the mounting surface which is the same size as or smaller than the mirror frame and whose surrounding wall contacts the inner peripheral surface of the mirror frame, wall portions which surround the periphery of the mounting surface from at least three directions over an area the same size as or larger than the mirror frame and rise from the mounting surface with a gradient equal to or lower than the height of the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral side of the mirror frame, and a braking surface which contacts from above the base portion mounted on the mounting surface, The mounting surface is further characterized in that it is inclined downward toward the back of the hive with respect to the horizontal plane, and is inclined left and right toward the front so that the base portion is on the lower side. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the present invention, the structure of the tray itself and the inclination of the bottom surface of the beehive give the mounting surface two gradients, one in the front direction and the other in the depth direction. This makes it possible to suppress the movement of the side mirror during transportation. Also, the only parts of the tray that come into contact with the side mirror are the mirror frame and base, which have a matte finish, and there is no part where the tray comes into contact with the housing cover, which is the design surface. This means that the housing cover of the side mirror will not be scratched even if it is subjected to vibration during transportation. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] First, the structure of the side mirror that is the subject of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1. In Fig. 1A, the side mirror 1 includes a mirror 2, a base portion 3 that is attached to the outer panel of the automobile, and a mirror housing 4 that accommodates the mirror 2. Furthermore, as necessary, the base portion 3 is provided with a storage unit that switches the mirror housing 4 between a stored state and a usage state.

[0013] In FIG. 1B, the mirror housing 4 includes a housing main body 5 and a housing cover 6 formed from a resin material. The outer surface of the housing cover 6 is the main part that becomes the design surface of the exterior of the side mirror 1, and is surface-treated, such as by painting. This design surface is not very hard. When it is rubbed or pressed against cardboard, the unevenness caused by the corrugated tops of the cardboard is pressed against the design surface. The scratches that occur at this time are called cardboard marks, and when such marks are formed, the side mirror 1 loses its commercial value.

[0014] The housing body 5 has a recess 8 that accommodates the mirror 2. An angle adjustment unit 7 provided at approximately the center of the bottom of the recess 8 adjusts the angle of the mirror 2. The periphery of the recess 8 surrounds the mirror 2 and protrudes forward, forming a mirror frame 9 surrounding the mirror 2. The mirror frame 9 has an outer peripheral surface 9a that smoothly connects to the housing cover 6 on the outer peripheral side, and an inner peripheral surface 9b that fits under the mirror 2 on the inner peripheral side of the recess 8. The mirror frame 9 in this example is integrally molded as a part of the housing body 5, but may be a separate body from the housing body 5. The mirror frame 9 is part of the exterior of the side mirror 1. The height of the ridge 9c, which is the most protruding part where the outer peripheral surface 9a and the inner peripheral surface 9b are butted together, is approximately equal around the entire circumference of the recess 8. Therefore, the ridge 9c can be in contact with a flat surface around approximately the entire circumference. In addition, the distance from the ridge 9c to the mirror 2 has a sufficient height difference so that the mirror does not jump out from the top when the angle of the mirror 2 is changed. The surface with which the circumferential ridge 9c comes into contact is a flat surface in most side mirrors, regardless of the planar shape and size of the mirror 2 to be accommodated in the recess 8.

[0015] Additionally, the outer peripheral surface 9a, the inner peripheral surface 9b and the base portion 3 have surfaces that are clearly less glossy than the housing cover 6, and are less susceptible to scratches than the housing cover 6. There are also examples in which the periphery of the mirror 2 and the base portion 3 are subjected to a surface treatment similar to that of the housing cover 6, but the amount is small.

[0016] When transporting the side mirror 1, the automobile manufacturer provides instructions in advance regarding the areas where contact that may cause scratches is prohibited and the areas where minimal contact is permitted. The housing cover 6, which has a decorative surface, is an area where contact that may cause scratches is prohibited, while the mirror frame 9 and the base portion 3 are areas where minimal contact is permitted. Side mirrors 1 come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but their structures are almost the same as shown in Figure 1, and it can be said that there are common rules for side mirrors 1.

[0017] The present invention has been made based on the common rules for such side mirrors 1, and the present embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0018] Fig. 2 shows a transport container 10 for a side mirror. In Fig. 2A, the transport container 10 is made by attaching plastic cardboard to an iron frame 11 to form a large number of beehives 12 in a matrix. In the figure, there are 24 beehives 12 in four vertical rows and six horizontal rows on the front side, and the same number of 24 beehives 12 on the rear side, for a total of 48 beehives 12 in the front and rear. In the figure, the left-right direction of the transport container 10 is indicated as direction H, the depth direction as direction W, and the height direction as direction V. These directions are common to the other figures.

[0019] A tray 20 is attached to each hive 12. The tray 20 is a member that mounts one side mirror 1 on each side, and has a common shape for side mirrors 1 of various shapes. Each hive 12 is a box with an open front, surrounded by a left wall 14 and a bottom surface 13 made of plastic cardboard. The hive 12 are arranged in a matrix, forming a box surrounded by upper, lower, left, and right walls. The bottom surface 13 is inclined downward from the front or rear side of the transport container 10 toward the center of the front and rear in the depth direction W. FIG. 2B shows how the bottom surface 13 of the hive 12 is inclined. The inclination angle α with respect to the horizontal plane (the plane formed by the direction H and the direction W) is 5 to 15 degrees.

[0020] 3 and 4 show the process of forming the tray 20. The tray 20 is a vacuum-formed component. A thermoplastic sheet 21 (FIG. 3A) such as polypropylene is heated and softened, and cooled while being deformed by vacuum pressure (FIG. 3B). After cooling, the tray 20 is cut out from the thermoplastic sheet 21 (FIG. 3C).

[0021] 4A, the molded tray 20 has a valley portion 22 that divides the convex molded portions 30, 40 provided on the left and right sides by a straight line in the direction W, and the left and right molded portions 30, 40 are provided with wall portions 31, 41 that are approximately 45 degrees from the horizontal plane (the plane formed by the directions H and W) on either side of the valley portion 22. Also, the left and right molded portions 30, 40 each have a rectangular mounting window 32, 42 opened therein.

[0022] In FIG. 4B, the walls 31, 41 are folded at the valley portion 22 and folded together in an L-shape, so that the forming portion 40 remains horizontal while the forming portion 30 stands upright, completing the tray 20. The tray 20 has a mounting surface 43 on the right-hand forming portion 40 on which the mirror frame 9 is mounted. The mounting surface 43 is a flat surface that has an inclination in the direction H that increases from the horizontal plane (the plane formed by the directions H and W) as it moves away from the valley portion 22 side. Conversely, it becomes lower toward the forming portion 30 side. The angle β of this inclination is 5 to 15 degrees. When a side mirror is mounted on the mounting surface 43, the mounting surface 43 abuts against the ridge 9c of the mirror frame 9.

[0023] A protrusion 44 is provided in the center of the mounting surface 43. The protrusion 44 is the same size as or smaller than the mirror frame 9 having the smallest outer shape among the side mirrors 1 that are expected to be mounted on the side mirror 1. A peripheral wall 45 of the protrusion 44 is a portion that may come into contact with the inner peripheral surface 9b of the mirror frame 9. The protrusion 44 is at a height that does not allow it to come into contact with the mirror 2.

[0024] The mounting surface 43 is surrounded by walls 46, 47, 48 from at least three directions. That is, the wall 46 on the valley portion 22 side, the wall 47 on the opposite side in the direction H, and the wall 48 provided on one side in the depth direction W. These walls 46, 47, 48 surround the mounting surface 43 in an area equal to or larger than the mirror frame 9 having the largest shape among the side mirrors 1 to be mounted. Each wall 46, 47, 48 changes its angle from a steep gradient S rising from the mounting surface 43 to a gentle gradient L midway up, so as not to come into contact with the housing cover 6. In each of the walls 46, 47, 48, the area of ​​the steep gradient S rising from the mounting surface 43 is at least equal to or lower than the height of the outer peripheral surface 9a on the outer peripheral side of the mirror frame 9. Further, a wall portion 48 provided on one side in the depth direction W is provided with a recessed space 49 for allowing the turn signal to escape, in correspondence with the side mirror 1 equipped with the turn signal.

[0025] The tray has braking surfaces 33, 34, 35 on the left molding portion 30 that come into contact from above with the base portion 3 of the side mirror 1 mounted on the mounting surface 43. There are three types of braking surfaces 33, 34, 35 depending on the shape of the side mirror.

[0026] FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the functions of the mounting surface 43, the walls 46, 47, 48 surrounding the mounting surface 43, and the surrounding wall 45 of the protrusion 44. The side mirror 1 is mounted on the mounting surface 43 (FIGS. 5A and 5B). The base 3 is on the left side of the drawing. The mounting surface is a flat surface, and the ridge 9c contacts the mounting surface. The mirror frame contacts the wall surrounding the mounting surface or a part of the surrounding wall of the protrusion. On the other hand, each wall 46, 47 changes its angle from a steep gradient S rising from the mounting surface 43 to a gentle gradient L midway up (the same is true for each wall 48 not shown in the drawing), and there is no place where the tray 20 contacts the housing cover 6.

[0027] 5C shows side mirrors 1 of different sizes being mounted on mounting surface 43. The weight of the side mirror 1 causes it to slide down the slope of mounting surface 43 and move to the lower side of the slope (left side of the drawing). Therefore, even if the side mirror 1 is a different size, it will move to a position below the slope of mounting surface 43 and stabilize. This is one of the reasons why the tray can be used for side mirrors 1 of various sides.

[0028] FIG. 6 shows how the tray 20 is attached to the beehive 12. The left wall 14 and bottom surface 13 of the plastic cardboard walls that make up the beehive 12 have through holes 15 and 16 of the same shape as the mounting windows 32 and 42 (FIG. 6A). The tray 20 is pushed into the beehive 12 from the front open side, with the back side of the left molded part 30 of the tray 20 aligned with the left wall 14 and the back side of the right molded part 40 aligned with the bottom surface 13 (FIG. 6B). When the tray 20 is inserted to the back, the mounting windows 32 and 42 and the through holes 15 and 16 overlap. It has been described that the beehive 12 has at least the left wall 14 and bottom surface 13. However, if the molded parts 30 and 40 of the tray 20 are formed with the left and right sides reversed, the wall to which the upright molded part 30 is attached when the tray 20 is folded in an L-shape at the valley part 22 becomes the right wall. Therefore, a hive only needs a bottom 13 and one wall on the left or right side.

[0029] The tray 20 is attached to the nest box 12 by a fastener 100 using the mounting windows 32, 42 and the through holes 15, 16 (FIG. 6C). This fastener 100 has been applied for by the applicant as Japanese Patent Application No. 2022-167326, but will be briefly described with reference to FIG. 7.

[0030] Fastener 100 is composed of two parts, a main box 50 and a rotating knob 70, and by connecting these two parts, fastener 100 having a rotation mechanism is formed.

[0031] In FIG. 7A, the main box 50 has a rectangular bottom surface portion 51 in a plan view (xy plane), a side surface portion 52 that rises in the z direction around the entire circumference of the bottom surface portion 51, and a eaves portion 53 that protrudes outward in parallel to the bottom surface portion 51 from the upper edge of the side surface portion 52 around the entire circumference. The distance d1 (z direction in the figure) from the lower surface of the bottom surface portion 51 to the lower surface of the eaves portion 53 is 10 mm. A circular hole 54 (partially drawn by a broken line) penetrates the center of the bottom surface portion 51, and a pair of shaft insertion portions 56, 56 rise in the z direction on either side of the circular hole 54. In addition, a rectangular hole 55 (also partially drawn by a broken line) penetrates the bottom surface portion 51. The circular hole 54 and the rectangular hole 55 overlap each other with their centers aligned to form a composite hole 60. Of these, the rectangular hole 55 has a short side (y direction in the figure) shorter than the diameter of the circular hole 54, a long side (x direction in the figure) longer than the diameter, and the circular hole 54 and the rectangular hole 55 are centered. The direction of the long side of the rectangular hole 55 coincides with the direction of the long side of the bottom surface portion 51. The edge of the circular hole 54 is removed by the rectangular hole 55 to form two arc-shaped walls 57. Each of these arc-shaped walls 57 directly serves as the inner wall of a pair of shaft insertion portions 56, 56. Each of the shaft insertion portions 56, 56 is lower than the side surface portion 52 in the z direction. In addition, the inside of the upper edge side of each of the shaft insertion portions 56, 56 has an inner curved wall 58 that further expands toward both ends of the arc. A groove 62 is provided in the z direction at the center of the inner curved wall 58 on the upper edge 59 side of each of the shaft insertion portions 56, 56. The upper edge 59 of each shaft insertion portion has a high central portion 59a and an inclined surface 59b that descends toward both ends. The central portion 59a is flat, and both sides of the central portion 59a are surrounded by protrusions 59c that are slightly higher than the central portion. The width (x direction) of the central portion 59a is equal to the length of the short side of the rectangular hole 55.

[0032] On the other hand, in FIG. 7B, the rotating knob 70 includes a flange portion 71, a shaft portion 72, and a knob portion 73. The flange portion 71 is large enough to cover almost the entire bottom surface portion 51 in the xy plane, and has a shape in plan view surrounded by a pair of straight sides 71a, 71a that overlap the long sides of the bottom surface portion 51, and a pair of arc sides 71b, 71b that connect both ends of the pair of straight sides 71a, 71a. First tapered surfaces 71d, 71d are provided that rise inward along the pair of straight sides 71a, 71a so as to increase the thickness (z direction) of the flange portion 71. A shaft portion 72 with a diameter equal to the diameter of the circular hole 54 rises in the z direction from the center of the flange portion 71. The knob portion 73 is provided on the top of the shaft portion 72, and is a rectangular parallelepiped having a rectangular shape in plan view that can pass through the rectangular hole 55. The direction of the straight sides 71a, 71a of the knob portion 73 is the same as the direction of the long side of the rectangular shape of the knob portion 73 in a plan view. It is desirable that the distance d2 from the rising edge of the shaft portion 72 to the top surface of the knob portion 73 is within the range of the distance d3 from the lower surface of the bottom portion 51 to the outside of the eaves portion 53. Specifically, it is set to 10 mm + 2 mm (2 mm is the thickness of the eaves portion 23), but is not limited to this. By incorporating the arc sides 71b, 71b into the shape of the flange portion 71, it is possible to prevent rotation or damage to the flange portion 71 due to unintended external forces. In addition, when arranging a member that surrounds the flange portion 71, the bittern shape can be minimized, making it possible to apply it to a narrow space.

[0033] In Figure 7C, the attachment window 32 and the through hole 15 of the tray 20 are aligned and the fastener 100 is inserted. Then, the knob 73 is turned to fasten the tray 20. The tray 20 is not made up of separate, separated members, but is joined by being folded into an L shape at the valley 22, so that the tray 20 can be fixed to the nesting box 12 at two points, one on the left wall 14 and one on the bottom surface 13. This allows the number of fasteners 100 to be reduced, and also makes disassembly easy.

[0034] FIG. 8 is a view of the beehive 12 with the tray 20 mounted, seen in the direction W from the front open side of the beehive. In FIG. 8A, the mounting surface 43 is inclined in the left-right direction, and the side mirror 1 is mounted on the mounting surface 43 so that the base part 3 is on the lower side of the inclination. The side mirror 1 slides down the inclination of the mounting surface 43 under its own weight and is pulled to the left side (i.e., the molding part 30 side) of the lower side (in the drawing). Then, the base part 3 of the side mirror 1 comes into contact with the braking surfaces 33, 34, 35 on the left side of the tray 20. In this example, the lowest braking surface 33 of the three types of braking surfaces 33, 34, 35 comes into contact with the base part 3 of the side mirror 1. Even if the tray 20 wobbles during transportation (FIG. 8B), the vacuum-formed tray 20 can absorb the vibration and suppress it.

[0035] FIG. 9 is a view of the beehive 12 with the tray 20 mounted from the direction H. The side mirror 1 mounted on the mounting surface 43 has the base 3 on the front open side of the beehive 12, and the tip side of the side mirror 1 (the part away from the car body) on the back side of the beehive 12. In FIG. 9A, the bottom surface 13 of the beehive 12 is an inclined surface that descends toward the back side (the right side of the drawing), so the molding part 40 on the right side of the tray 20 also descends toward the back side. Therefore, the side mirror 1 mounted on the mounting surface 43 is moved toward the back side by its own weight. Even if it wobbles during transportation, the vacuum-formed tray 20 can absorb the vibration and suppress it, and the side mirror 1 is moved toward the back side by its own weight and returns to the normal position, so it does not slip off the transport container 10.

[0036] Due to the structure of the tray 20 itself and the inclination of the bottom surface 13 of the beehive 12, the mounting surface 43 has two gradients in directions H and W. This makes it possible to suppress movement of the side mirror 1 during transport. Also, the only parts of the tray 20 that come into contact with the side mirror 1 are the mirror frame 9 and base part 3, which have a matte finish, and there is no part where the tray 20 comes into contact with the housing cover 6, which is the design surface. Therefore, even if there is vibration during transport, the housing cover 6 of the side mirror 1 will not be scratched.

[0037] The transport container 10 is sent as it is to the automobile manufacturing line, and the side mirror 1 is simply taken out of the nesting box 12, eliminating the need to open packaging materials such as plastic bags and reducing the generation of waste.

[0038] In this embodiment, the fastener disclosed in Patent Application No. 2022-167326 was used as the fastener 100, but this is not limited to this, and bolts / nuts, adhesives, etc. may also be used. [Explanation of symbols]
