Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a tape cassette and a storage shelf. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a tape cassette in which a carrier tape containing components is stored in a rolled state. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-119611 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When storing the above-mentioned tape cassettes in an upright position, it is considered to provide a partition wall to prevent the tape cassettes from falling over. However, when storing multiple types of tape cassettes of different thicknesses, the partition wall becomes an obstacle, limiting the number that can be stored.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a tape cassette or the like that can easily stand upright even without a partition wall on a storage shelf. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (1) A tape cassette according to one aspect of the present invention is a tape cassette to be installed on a shelf portion of a storage shelf, and comprises a roll body formed by winding a carrier tape containing components, and a cassette body for storing the roll body, and a first portion of the cassette body supported on the shelf portion is provided with an engaged portion that engages with an engaging portion provided on the shelf portion.

[0007] According to this, the engaged portion of the first portion of the cassette body engages with the engaging portion of the shelf portion, and the engagement between the engaged portion and the engaging portion allows the tape cassette to stand stably on the shelf portion, making it easier to stand the tape cassette by itself even if the storage shelf does not have a partition wall.

[0008] (2) In the tape cassette described in (1) above, the engaging portion may be positioned at one end of the first portion on the front side of the shelf portion when the cassette body is installed on the shelf portion.

[0009] With this, since the engaged portion is provided at one end of the first section on the front side, the operator can engage the engaged portion with the engaging portion on the front side, thereby improving the workability of the engagement operation.

[0010] (3) In the tape cassette described in (2) above, when the cassette body is installed on the shelf portion, a second portion of the cassette body corresponding to the rear side of the shelf portion may be formed with a notch that engages with a beam portion provided on the storage shelf.

[0011] According to this, the notch formed in the second portion of the cassette body engages with the beam portion of the storage shelf, and this engagement can further increase the stability of the tape cassette standing on its own.

[0012] (4) A storage shelf according to another aspect of the present invention is a storage shelf for storing any one of the tape cassettes (1) to (3) above, and includes a shelf portion on which the tape cassette is placed, and the shelf portion includes an engaging portion with which the engaged portion of the tape cassette engages.

[0013] With this, the engaged portion of the cassette body engages with the engaging portion of the shelf portion, and the engagement between the engaged portion and the engaging portion allows the tape cassette to stand stably on the shelf portion, making it easier to stand the tape cassette by itself even if the storage shelf does not have a partition wall.

[0014] (5) In the storage shelf described in (4) above, the shelf portion may be arranged so as to be inclined such that the front side is higher than the back side.

[0015] With this, the shelf is inclined so that the front side is higher than the back side, which makes it easier to place the tape cassette on the shelf, thereby improving the workability when placing the tape cassette on the shelf.

[0016] (6) In the storage shelf described in (4) above, the shelf portions may be arranged in multiple vertical directions, and the multiple shelf portions may include a first shelf portion inclined so that the front side is higher than the back side, and a second shelf portion that is aligned along a horizontal plane, and the tape cassette placed on the first shelf portion may be larger than the tape cassette placed on the second shelf portion.

[0017] According to this, a large tape cassette is placed on the first shelf section which is inclined so that the front side is higher than the back side, thereby improving workability when placing a large tape cassette on the first shelf section.

[0018] (7) In the storage shelf described in (6) above, the second shelf portion may be arranged in a plurality of units in the horizontal direction.

[0019] According to this, since small tape cassettes are placed on the second shelf portion, multiple second shelf portions can be arranged horizontally, thereby increasing the number of small tape cassettes that can be stored.

[0020] (8) In the storage shelf of any one of (4) to (7) above, the shelf board portion may include a guide portion that guides the tape cassette in the insertion direction.

[0021] According to this, the guide portion guides the tape cassette in the insertion direction, so that the tape cassette can be smoothly placed on the shelf portion, thereby improving the workability when placing the tape cassette on the shelf portion.

[0022] (9) In the storage shelf of any one of (4) to (8) above, the shelf board portion may have a plurality of the engaging portions formed in a comb-teeth shape.

[0023] According to this, since the plurality of engaging portions are formed on the shelf portion in a comb-teeth shape, the plurality of tape cassettes can be easily installed on the respective engaging portions with a simple structure. [Effects of the Invention]

[0024] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a tape cassette or the like that can stand upright even when the storage shelf does not have a partition wall. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0026] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, a tape cassette and a storage shelf according to an embodiment and its modifications of the present invention will be described. Note that the embodiments and their modifications described below are all comprehensive or specific examples. The numerical values, shapes, materials, components, component placement positions, and connection configurations shown in the following embodiments and their modifications are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. Furthermore, each figure is a schematic diagram, and dimensions are not necessarily precisely depicted. Furthermore, the same or similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals in each figure. In the following description, the X-axis direction is the width direction of the storage shelf 100, the Y-axis direction is the depth direction of the storage shelf 100, and the height direction (vertical direction) of the storage shelf 100 is the Z-axis direction. The Y-axis direction is also the insertion direction of the tape cassette 200.

[0027] Furthermore, expressions indicating relative directions or attitudes, such as "parallel" and "orthogonal," also include cases where the directions or attitudes are not strictly the same. For example, "two directions are parallel" does not only mean that the two directions are completely parallel, but also means that the two directions are substantially parallel, i.e., that there is a difference of, for example, a few percent. Furthermore, simply referring to the "X-axis direction" means both directions or either one of the directions parallel to the X-axis. The same applies to terms related to the Y-axis and Z-axis.

[0028] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of a storage shelf 100 according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 is a side view showing a schematic configuration of the storage shelf 100 according to an embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the storage shelf 100 is a shelf for storing a plurality of tape cassettes 200. Specifically, the storage shelf 100 includes a frame 300, a plurality of shelf sections 400, and a plurality of beam sections 500. In this embodiment, the storage shelf 100 is illustrated as having three shelf sections 400 arranged in the Z-axis direction. However, the number of sections of the storage shelf 100 may be other than three. In addition, this embodiment illustrates a case in which a first tape cassette 200a, which is an example of a tape cassette 200, is installed in the middle and bottom sections of the storage shelf 100, and a second tape cassette 200b, which is also an example of a tape cassette 200, is installed in the top section of the storage shelf 100. The first tape cassette 200a is larger than the second tape cassette 200b.

[0029] [Tape cassette] Here, the first tape cassette 200a will be described as an example of the tape cassette 200. The second tape cassette 200b basically has the same structure as the first tape cassette 200a, so details of the second tape cassette 200b will be omitted. The second tape cassette 200b differs from the first tape cassette 200a in that the cassette main body 210 that stores the roll is smaller in size than the first tape cassette 200a. In other words, rolls of different sizes are stored in the first tape cassette 200a and the second tape cassette 200b. In the following description, parts of the second tape cassette 200b that correspond to parts of the first tape cassette 200a will be assigned the same reference numerals, and their description may be omitted.

[0030] Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing a first tape cassette 200a according to an embodiment. Fig. 4 is a plan view showing the first tape cassette 200a according to an embodiment. In the description of the first tape cassette 200a, the X-axis direction is the thickness direction of the first tape cassette 200a, the Y1-axis direction is the height direction of the first tape cassette 200a, and the Z1-axis direction is the width direction of the first tape cassette 200a.

[0031] 3 and 4, the first tape cassette 200a has a flat outer shape with its thickness oriented in the X-axis direction. The first tape cassette 200a includes a cassette main body 210 and a tape holding portion 220. The cassette main body 210 is the main part of the first tape cassette 200a, and stores a roll 231 on which a carrier tape 230 containing components is wound.

[0032] Specifically, the cassette body 210 has a pair of covers 211 lined up in the X-axis direction, and the space between the pair of covers 211 forms a storage space H1 for storing the roll bodies 231. By disposing spacers (not shown) between the pair of covers 211, the distance between the pair of covers 211 in the X-axis direction, i.e., the distance between the storage space H1 in the X-axis direction, can be adjusted. This allows multiple types of roll bodies 231 with different lengths (thicknesses) in the X-axis direction to be stored in the storage space H1. By disposing spacers of different lengths, the length of the storage space H1 in the X-axis direction can be adjusted within a range of, for example, 4 mm or more and 200 mm or less.

[0033] In the cassette body 210, the end in the negative Z1-axis direction is the first portion 212, and the end in the positive Y1-axis direction is the second portion 213. The first portion 212 and the second portion 213 are not open and restrict movement of the roll 231 stored in the storage space H1. On the other hand, the end in the positive Z1-axis direction and the end in the negative Y-axis direction of the pair of covers 211 are open, allowing the roll 231 to move forward and backward into the storage space H1 through these open portions. Foldable fall prevention portions 214 are provided in the corners of the pair of covers 211 in the positive Y-axis direction and the positive Z1-axis direction. The fall prevention portions 214 are portions that prevent the roll 231 from falling out of the storage space H1. Specifically, when the fall prevention portions 214 are folded, they allow the roll 231 to move out of the storage space H1. On the other hand, when the fall-off prevention part 214 is deployed (see FIG. 3), the movement of the roll body 231 from the storage space H1 can be restricted, and therefore the roll body 231 is prevented from falling off.

[0034] The first portion 212 is a portion that is supported by the shelf portion 400 when the first tape cassette 200a is stored on the shelf portion 400 (see FIG. 2). In this state, the negative Y1-axis direction of the first portion 212 is the front side of the shelf portion 400, and the positive Y1-axis direction of the first portion 212 is the rear side of the shelf portion 400. The second portion 213 is disposed on the rear side of the shelf portion 400.

[0035] 3 and 4, an engaged portion 215 that engages with the shelf portion 400 is provided at one end of the first portion 212 in the negative Y1-axis direction. Specifically, the engaged portion 215 is a portion that protrudes outward (in the negative Z1-axis direction) beyond the portion adjacent to the engaged portion 215 in the negative Y1-axis direction. The engaged portion 215 is a protruding portion that is elongated in the Y1-axis direction.

[0036] A convex rib portion 216 is provided at the other end of the first portion 212 in the negative Y-axis direction. Specifically, the convex rib portion 216 is a portion that protrudes outward (in the negative Z1-axis direction) beyond the portion adjacent to the convex rib portion 216 in the positive Y1-axis direction. The convex rib portion 216 is a long convex portion in the Y1-axis direction.

[0037] The engaged portion 215 and the convex ridge portion 216 are attached to the cover 211 in the negative X-axis direction of the pair of covers 211. In other words, even if the distance in the X-axis direction between the pair of covers 211 is adjusted, the positional relationship between the cover 211 in the negative X-axis direction and the engaged portion 215 and the convex ridge portion 216 remains constant.

[0038] A notch 217 is formed at each of both ends in the Z1 axis direction of the second portion 213. Each notch 217 is open in the positive direction of the Y1 axis.

[0039] Open-shaped handles 218 are formed on the ends of the pair of covers 211 facing the negative direction of the Y1 axis. An operator can grasp these handles 218 to easily transport the first tape cassette 200a.

[0040] The tape holding portion 220 is disposed at the end of the first tape cassette 200a in the negative direction of the Y1 axis. The tape holding portion 220 is a portion that holds the carrier tape 230 pulled out from the roll 231 in the storage space H1.

[0041] [Storage shelf] Next, the details of the storage shelf 100 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the frame 300 of the storage shelf 100 is a framework that supports a plurality of shelf sections 400 and a plurality of beam sections 500, and is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape. Shelf sections 400 are fixed to the lower end, middle section, and upper end of the frame 300. In the present embodiment, the frame 300 is illustrated as being open in the positive Y-axis direction, negative Y-axis direction, positive X-axis direction, and negative X-axis direction of each shelf section 400, but it is sufficient if at least the front side (negative Y-axis direction) of each shelf section 400 is open. This is to allow the tape cassette 200 to be inserted and removed freely from the front side of each shelf section 400.

[0042] The multiple shelf portions 400 include a first shelf portion 410 and a second shelf portion 420. The first shelf portion 410 constitutes the middle and lower shelves of the storage shelf 100, and the second shelf portion 420 constitutes the upper shelf.

[0043] [First shelf section] Fig. 5 is a side view showing the first shelf portion 410 according to the embodiment. Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing the first shelf portion 410 according to the embodiment. Although Figs. 5 and 6 show the first shelf portion 410 constituting the lower tier, the same applies to the first shelf portion 410 constituting the middle tier.

[0044] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 , the first shelf portion 410 includes a mounting surface 411 and a plurality of engagement portions 412. The mounting surface 411 is a surface that supports the first tape cassette 200a and is configured as the main surface (top surface) of the first shelf portion 410. The mounting surface 411 is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane (XY plane). Specifically, the mounting surface 411 is inclined so that the front side (negative Y-axis direction) is higher than the rear side (positive Y-axis direction). The angle between the mounting surface 411 and the horizontal plane (XY plane) is preferably within a range of 3 degrees to 12 degrees. If the angle is less than 3 degrees, the engagement between the engagement portions 412 and the engaged portions 215 becomes unstable. On the other hand, if the angle exceeds 12 degrees, the first tape cassette 200a will be pulled toward the rear, reducing workability. It is more preferable that the angle be within a range of 5 degrees to 10 degrees.

[0045] Each engaging portion 412 is a portion with which the engaged portion 215 of the first tape cassette 200a engages. Each engaging portion 412 is disposed in the negative Y-axis direction with respect to the installation surface 411. The multiple engaging portions 412 are arranged along the X-axis direction. Specifically, each engaging portion 412 is a recess formed by arranging multiple metal plates extending in the Y-axis direction at predetermined intervals in the X-axis direction. More specifically, one engaging portion 412 is a recess formed by a pair of metal plates adjacent in the X-axis direction. In this way, the multiple engaging portions 412 are formed in a comb-like shape.

[0046] As shown in Fig. 5, the first tape cassette 200a is supported by the installation surface 411 in a free-standing state. The partially enlarged view of Fig. 5 shows a state in which the engaged portions 215 of the first tape cassette 200a are engaged with the engaging portions 412. As shown in the drawing, the engaged portions 215 of the first tape cassette 200a fit into the respective engaging portions 412, thereby stabilizing the posture of the first tape cassette 200a. This makes it easier for the first tape cassette 200a to stand on its own.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 6 , the installation surface 411 is provided with a guide portion 413 that guides the first tape cassette 200a in the Y-axis direction (insertion direction). The guide portion 413 includes a plurality of cylindrical protrusions 414. The protrusions 414 protrude from the installation surface 411 and are arranged in a matrix. Specifically, three protrusions 414 are arranged in a row in the Y-axis direction for one engagement portion 412. That is, a plurality of protrusions 414 are arranged in a row for each engagement portion 412. The first tape cassette 200a is pushed in the positive direction of the Y-axis while coming into contact with the plurality of protrusions 414 arranged in a row, thereby guiding the first tape cassette 200a in the insertion direction. Note that the guide portion 413 may have any shape as long as it can guide the first tape cassette 200a in the insertion direction. For example, it may be a rail-shaped guide portion extending in the insertion direction.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 5, the beams 500 are elongated portions extending along the X-axis direction, and a pair of beams 500 are arranged at the rear side of the first shelf portion 410. The pair of beams 500 are arranged with a gap in the Z-axis direction. The beams 500 are made of sheet metal, and an end portion facing the positive Y-axis direction is fixed to the frame 300, and a tip portion 501 facing the negative Y-axis direction is bent. The tip portion 501 of the beams 500 engages with the notch 217 of the first tape cassette 200a. In other words, engagement with the beams 500 stabilizes the freestanding position of the first tape cassette 200a, making it less likely to tip over. The beams 500 may be flat bars.

[0049] FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the operation when the first tape cassette 200a according to the embodiment is inserted.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 7 , the operator grasps the handle 218 and inserts the first tape cassette 200a into the installation surface 411 of the first shelf portion 410. At this time, the operator brings the side surface of the convex rib portion 216 into contact with the protrusion 414 of the guide portion 413, and then pushes the first tape cassette 200a in the positive direction of the Y axis. At this time, the first tape cassette 200a moves smoothly to the rear due to the inclination of the installation surface 411. As this movement occurs, the first tape cassette 200a moves in the positive direction of the Y axis while changing its posture so that the entire convex rib portion 216 approaches the installation surface 411. Eventually, the beam portions 500 are positioned and fitted into the respective cutout portions 217 of the first tape cassette 200a. In conjunction with this, the engaged portions 215 of the first tape cassette 200a fit into the engaging portions 412 of the first shelf portion 410.

[0051] [Second shelf section] The first shelf portion 410 constitutes the middle and lower sections of the storage shelf 100, and the second shelf portion 420 constitutes the upper section. Fig. 8 is a side view showing the second shelf portion 420 of the second shelf portion 420 according to the embodiment.

[0052] As shown in Fig. 8, a plurality of second shelf portions 420 are arranged in the horizontal direction. Specifically, the second shelf portions 420 are arranged in pairs in the Y-axis direction. Although each second shelf portion 420 differs in size and posture from the first shelf portion 410, the basic structure is the same as that of the first shelf portion 410. For this reason, parts of the second shelf portion 420 that are the same as those of the first shelf portion 410 may be assigned the same reference numerals, and their description may be omitted.

[0053] Each second shelf portion 420 is disposed in a position where the installation surface 411 is parallel to the horizontal plane (XY plane). Note that the installation surface 411 of each second shelf portion 420 may be inclined with respect to the horizontal plane (XY plane).

[0054] Here, for the second shelf portion 420 in the negative Y-axis direction, the negative Y-axis direction is the front side, and the positive Y-axis direction is the back side. Therefore, each engaging portion 412 of the second shelf portion 420 in the negative Y-axis direction is disposed in the negative Y-axis direction with respect to the installation surface 411, and engages with the engaged portion 215 of the second tape cassette 200b installed on the installation surface 411. This engagement makes it easier for the second tape cassette 200b to stand on its own.

[0055] On the other hand, for the second shelf portion 420 in the positive direction of the Y axis, the positive direction of the Y axis is the front side, and the negative direction of the Y axis is the back side. Therefore, the engaging portions 412 of the second shelf portion 420 in the positive direction of the Y axis are disposed in the positive direction of the Y axis with respect to the installation surface 411, and engage with the engaged portions 215 of the second tape cassette 200b installed on the installation surface 411. This engagement makes it easier for the second tape cassette 200b to stand on its own.

[0056] Two pairs of beams 500 are arranged back to back above the boundary between each second shelf portion 420. One pair of beams 500 engages with the notch 217 of the second tape cassette 200b placed on the second shelf portion 420 in the negative Y-axis direction. The other pair of beams 500 engages with the notch 217 of the second tape cassette 200b placed on the second shelf portion 420 in the positive Y-axis direction. This engagement with the beams 500 stabilizes the freestanding position of the second tape cassette 200b, making it less likely to tip over.

[0057] [effect] As described above, the engaged portion 215 provided on the first section 212 of the cassette body 210 engages with the engaging portion 412 provided on the shelf portion 400, and thus the engagement between the engaged portion 215 and the engaging portion 412 allows the tape cassette 200 to stand stably on the shelf portion 400. This makes it easier to stand the tape cassette 200 on its own even if the storage shelf 100 does not have a partition wall.

[0058] Since the engaged portion 215 is provided at one end on the front side of the first part 212, the worker can engage the engaged portion 215 with the engaging portion 412 on the front side. Therefore, the workability of the engagement operation can be improved.

[0059] The notch 217 formed in the second portion 213 of the cassette body 210 engages with the beam 500 of the storage shelf 100, and this engagement can further increase the stability of the tape cassette 200 when it stands on its own.

[0060] The shelf board portion 400 is arranged so as to be inclined such that the front side is higher than the back side, and this inclination makes it easy to install the tape cassette 200 on the shelf board portion 400. Therefore, the workability when installing the tape cassette 200 on the shelf board portion 400 can be improved.

[0061] Furthermore, because the shelf board portion 400 is inclined so that the front side is higher than the back side, when the notch portion 217 of the tape cassette 200 engages with the beam portion 500 of the storage shelf 10, the weight of the tape cassette 200 acts on the beam portion 500, causing friction. This improves the ability to engage between the notch portion 217 and the beam portion 500.

[0062] A large first tape cassette 200a is placed on the first shelf portion 410, which is inclined so that the front side is higher than the back side, thereby improving workability when placing the large first tape cassette 200a on the first shelf portion 410.

[0063] Since small second tape cassettes 200b are placed on the second shelf portion 420, multiple second shelf portions 420 can be arranged horizontally, which makes it possible to increase the number of small second tape cassettes 200b that can be stored.

[0064] The guide portion 413 guides the tape cassette 200 in the insertion direction, so that the tape cassette 200 can be smoothly installed on the shelf portion 400. This improves the workability when installing the tape cassette 200 on the shelf portion 400.

[0065] Since the plurality of engaging portions 412 are formed on the shelf portion 400 in a comb-teeth shape, the plurality of tape cassettes 200 can be easily installed on each of the engaging portions 412 with a simple structure.

[0066] (others) While the tape cassette and storage shelf according to the embodiment of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. In other words, the embodiment disclosed herein is an example in all respects, and the scope of the present invention includes all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.

[0067] For example, in the above embodiment, the case where the engaged portion 215 of the tape cassette 200 is a convex portion and the engaging portion 412 of the shelf board portion 400 is a concave portion is exemplified. However, the engaged portion may be a concave portion and the engaging portion may be a convex portion. Furthermore, the shapes of the engaged portion and the engaging portion are not limited to a concave-convex structure as long as they engage with each other.

[0068] In the above embodiment, the shelf board portion 400 is fixed. However, the shelf board portion may have an angle adjustment mechanism that can adjust the angle of the installation surface relative to the horizontal plane (XY plane). This angle adjustment mechanism allows the angle to be adjusted according to the shape and weight of the tape cassette and the preference of the operator, thereby further improving workability.

[0069] Furthermore, configurations constructed by arbitrarily combining the components included in the above-described embodiments and their modifications are also included within the scope of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0070] The present invention can be applied to tape cassettes and storage shelves for storing them. [Explanation of symbols]
