Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a shelf and a workbench with shelves. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there are various types of shelves capable of sorting and storing documents, papers, etc. in individual compartments (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Also known are work benches with shelves in which such shelves are supported above the top plate of the work bench by supports or the like. Such shelves and work benches with shelves are used in a variety of environments.

[0003] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the use of a conventional shelf and a workbench with shelves. One example of the use of shelves or workbenches with shelves is a workbench with shelves 1B as shown in Fig. 7. This workbench with shelves 1B includes a shelf 10B and a workbench main body 40B equipped with a top plate 44 and the like, and is placed next to a banknote inspection machine 80 that counts, sorts, inspects, etc. banknotes in the process of counting, inspecting, etc. banknotes. Old banknotes that are rejected by the banknote inspection machine 80 as being unable to be inspected, as well as damaged or soiled banknotes (hereinafter referred to as unfit notes), etc., are temporarily stored on the shelf 10B by an operator.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-210 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The conventional shelf 10B shown in FIG. 7 is made of opaque metal or resin. Therefore, it is difficult for a person positioned on the rear side (backboard side) of the shelf 10B to see the movements of a worker positioned on the front side of the shelf 10B. Furthermore, work equipment such as a monitor 91, a keyboard 92, various stationery items 93, a small printer 94, etc. are often placed on the top board 44 of the workbench main body 40B. Therefore, the front side of the shelf 10 and areas below the front side are blind spots for a person positioned on the rear side of the shelf 10B. Since the banknote inspection machine 80 handles banknotes, it is preferable that there are no blind spots that would hinder the visibility of the operator's actions, but as described above, with the shelf-equipped workbench 1B that has opaque shelves 10B, visibility of the operator's actions may be hindered.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a shelf or a workbench with a shelf that does not obstruct the visibility of the worker's actions. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] (1) The shelf has a transparent, plate-shaped bottom portion, a transparent, plate-shaped back portion that forms the back surface, and two transparent, plate-shaped side portions that are located at both ends in the left-right direction and form the sides, and is a shelf with at least one transparent, plate-shaped partition plate that is placed in the space formed by the bottom portion, the back portion, and the two side portions, and the partition plate forms two or more compartments in the left-right direction of the shelf.

[0008] (2) The bottom surface, the two side surfaces, and the end surface of the partition plate closest to the front side are preferably subjected to a treatment for suppressing the specular reflection component of light reflected at the end surface.

[0009] (3) It is preferable that the bottom surface of the compartment is rectangular with the depth direction of the shelf as the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction as the short side direction.

[0010] (4) At least one of the compartments preferably has a bottom slope having an upper surface that is sloped so that the front side is higher and the rear side is lower.

[0011] (5) It is preferable that the shelf is a transparent plate-like member located above the bottom surface portion and has a top surface portion facing the bottom surface portion in the vertical direction, and that the frontmost end surface of the top surface portion is processed to suppress the specular reflection component of the light reflected at the end surface.

[0012] (6) A workbench with a shelf comprises a shelf described in any one of (1) to (5), a workbench main body comprising a top plate located below the shelf, and at least one support extending upward from the top plate and supporting the shelf at a predetermined height relative to the top plate. [Effects of the Invention]

The workbench main body 40 has a top plate 44, pillars 41, 42 that support the shelf 10 at a predetermined height, ground contact portions 45, 46 and top plate support portions 47, 48 provided below both ends of the top plate 44 in the left-right direction (X direction), a bottom plate portion 49, etc. The top plate 44 is a flat member, and is disposed below the shelf 10 (-Y side), on which a monitor or the like can be placed.

[0018] The ground contact portions 45, 46 are portions where the shelf-equipped workbench 1 comes into contact with the floor surface, and in this embodiment are rectangular columnar members extending in the depth direction (Z direction). The top plate support portions 47, 48 are plate-shaped members that support the top plate 44, with their lower (-Y side) ends joined to the ground contact portions 45, 46 and their upper (+Y side) ends joined to the top plate 44. The bottom plate portion 49 is placed above the ground contact portions 45, 46, and various devices and the like can be placed on the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 49. The shapes of the tabletop support parts 47, 48 etc. are not limited to the above examples and may be set as appropriate. Casters etc. may be provided on the lower surfaces of the ground contact parts 45, 46.

[0019] The pillars 41 and 42 are provided on the rear side (-Z side) of the top plate 44 at both ends in the left-right direction (X direction), and extend upward (+Y side) from the top plate 44. A horizontal plate 43 is provided between the pillars 41 and 42 along the left-right direction (X direction), and both ends of this horizontal plate 43 are joined to the pillars 41 and 42. The shelf 10 is fixed to the front side (+Z side) of the support columns 41 and 42 via support members 20 and 30, which will be described later, and is supported at a predetermined height relative to the top plate 44.

[0020] The shelf-equipped workbench 1 of this embodiment is placed next to a banknote inspection machine 80 (see FIG. 7) that inspects and counts banknotes, similar to the shelf-equipped workbench 1B shown in FIG. 7 described above. Old banknotes and damaged notes (damaged or soiled banknotes) that are discharged from the banknote inspection machine 80 as being unable to be counted are temporarily placed on shelves 10 by an operator standing in front of the shelf-equipped workbench 1, sorted by note type.

[0021] 1 etc., the shelf 10 is a rectangular box-shaped structure that includes a top surface 11 located on the upper side (+Y side), a back surface 12 located on the back side (-Z side), a first side surface 13 and a second side surface 14 located at both ends in the left-right direction (X direction) and forming the side surfaces of the shelf 10, and a bottom surface 15 facing the top surface 11 in the up-down direction (Y direction) and located on the lower side (-Y side) of the top surface 11, with the front side (+Z side) being open. When viewed from the front side (+Z side) of the shelf 10, the first side surface 13 is the side surface on the right side (+X side), and the second side surface 14 is the side surface on the left side (-X side).

[0022] In this embodiment, the shelf 10 has the plate surfaces of the top surface 11 and bottom surface 15 parallel to the XZ plane, the plate surface of the back surface 12 parallel to the XY plane, and the plate surfaces of the first side surface 13 and second side surface 14 parallel to the YZ plane. 5, which will be described later, the back surface portion 12, the first side surface portion 13, the second side surface portion 14, and the bottom surface portion 15 are formed with screw holes for attaching the support members 20 and 30. These holes will be described later.

[0023] The top surface 11, the back surface 12, the first side surface 13, the second side surface 14, and the bottom surface 15 are all formed of transparent resin plate-like members. For example, acrylic resin is a suitable material for such members. The top surface 11, back surface 12, first side surface 13, second side surface 14, and bottom surface 15 are bonded together with a solvent-based adhesive. The method for bonding these components may be selected appropriately depending on the material of each component, and they may be bonded with other adhesives or by welding.

[0024] A plurality of partition plates 16 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the width direction (X direction) of the shelf 10 within the space formed by the top surface 11, back surface 12, first side surface 13, second side surface 14, and bottom surface 15 of the shelf 10. These partition plates 16 form a plurality of compartments 18 in the space formed by the top surface 11 etc. The partition plate 16 is formed of a plate-like member made of transparent resin, similar to the top surface portion 11 etc. The partition plate 16 of this embodiment is a plate-like member made of transparent acrylic resin.

[0025] The partition plate 16 is disposed so that its plate surface is parallel to the YZ plane, with its end on the back side (-Z side) joined to the back portion 12 and its opposite ends in the up-down direction (Y direction) joined to the top surface portion 11 and the bottom surface portion 15. The lower end of the front side (+Z side) of the partition plate 16 is joined to the front surface portion 17, which will be described later. The partition plate 16 is joined to the back portion 12, the top surface portion 11, the bottom surface portion 15, and the front surface portion 17 with a solvent-based adhesive.

[0026] Each compartment 18 formed by the partition plates 16 is a rectangular parallelepiped space with an open front side (+Z side). Compartment 18 is a space where an operator manually places unfit notes and the like, and its bottom surface 181 is rectangular with the long side in the depth direction (Z direction) and the short side in the width direction (X direction), and is large enough to allow unfit notes and the like to be placed lying down. The bottom surface 181 and the opening on the front side of compartment 18 are preferably large enough to allow an operator to easily place and remove old banknotes and unfit notes by hand. In this embodiment, seven compartments 18 are formed along the width direction (X direction) of the shelf 10 by six partition plates 16. The seven compartments 18 have bottom surfaces 181 with the same area. The number of compartments 18 provided on the shelf 10 corresponds to the number of bill types that can be passed through the banknote inspection machine 80. The number of compartments 18 may be changed as appropriate depending on the usage environment, etc.

[0027] A front surface portion 17 is disposed below (on the -Y side) the front end (on the +Z side) of the shelf 10. The front surface portion 17 is a plate-like member having an elongated rectangular shape, and is made of transparent resin. In this embodiment, the front surface portion 17 is a plate-like member made of transparent acrylic resin. The front surface portion 17 has a longitudinal direction parallel to the width direction (X direction) of the shelf 10 and a lateral direction parallel to the height direction (Y direction), and both longitudinal end portions are bonded to the first side surface portion 13 and the second side surface portion 14, respectively. In addition, the lower end of the lateral direction of the front surface portion 17 is bonded to the bottom surface portion 15. The front surface portion 17 is bonded to the first side surface portion 13, the second side surface portion 14, and the bottom surface portion 15 with a solvent-based adhesive. The front surface 17 is provided for the purpose of preventing the inclined bottom surface 19 placed in the compartment 18 from falling off during the operation of removing banknotes, etc. The inclined bottom surface 19 will be described later.

[0028] The front portion 17 may have letters, symbols, etc. written or printed on the front side (+Z side) of the surface at positions corresponding to each compartment 18 to indicate the type of undamaged bill, etc. to be placed in that compartment 18, or a label, etc. with such letters, symbols, etc. written on it may be affixed.

[0029] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the inclined bottom portion 19. As shown in FIG. The inclined bottom surface portion 19 is a transparent resin member that is placed on the bottom surface 181 of the compartment 18 (the upper surface of the bottom surface portion 15). The inclined bottom surface portion 19 has an upper surface portion 191 and leg surface portions 192 that are provided on the front side of the upper surface portion 191 and incline the upper surface portion 191. The upper surface portion 191 is a plate-like resin member that is rectangular in plan view. The leg surface portions 192 are also plate-like resin members, and the plate surfaces are parallel to the up-down direction (Y direction). The upper surface portion 191 and the leg surface portions 192 are integrally formed. The leg surface portions 192 form an inclined surface in which the front side of the upper surface portion 191 is higher and the rear side is lower.

[0030] 1, in this embodiment, the dimension in the height direction (Y direction) of the front side of the inclined bottom portion 19 is greater than the dimension in the height direction (widthwise dimension) of the front portion 17. This is to make it easier to remove and replace the inclined bottom portion 19 when it is damaged due to deterioration over time. The shape of the inclined bottom surface portion 19 in a plan view is the same as the shape of the bottom surface 181 of the compartment 18 , and it can be easily placed on the bottom surface 181 of the compartment 18 . The inclined bottom portion 19 is formed of a plate-shaped member made of transparent resin. In this embodiment, the inclined bottom portion 19 is formed of acrylic resin.

[0031] 1 shows an example in which, of the seven compartments 18 formed in the left-right direction (X direction), the compartment 18 located on the far right (+X) does not have a bottom inclined portion 19 in order to show the bottom surface 181. However, in reality, all of the compartments 18 of the shelf 10 have bottom inclined portions 19, as shown in FIG.

[0032] By placing such an inclined bottom surface 19 on the bottom surface 181 of the compartment 18 of the shelf 10, the following effects can be obtained. The bottom inclined portion 19 is inclined so that the upper surface portion 191 is higher on the front side (+Z side) and lower on the back side (-Z side), thereby preventing old banknotes and unfit notes placed on the upper surface portion 191 from accidentally falling out of the shelf 10 through the opening on the front side (+Z side) of the shelf 10 to the outside.

[0033] The front (+Z) end faces of each part of the shelf 10, i.e., the top surface 11, the first side surface 13, the second side surface 14, the partition plate 16, and the bottom surface 15, are treated to suppress the specular reflection component of the light reflected at those end faces. In this embodiment, as such processing, translucent white tape is attached to the end faces on the front side (+Z side) of the top surface portion 11, the first side surface portion 13, the second side surface portion 14, the partition plate 16, and the bottom surface portion 15. However, without being limited to this, for example, opaque tape or tape of another color may be attached to the end face of each member, or the end face on the front side (+Z side) of each member may be roughened (mattified), or the like. By performing processing to suppress such specular reflection components, it is possible to prevent specular reflection light from the front end surface of each component from being perceived as flickering by a worker positioned on the front side of the shelf 10, thereby preventing the worker from feeling uncomfortable.

[0034] An example of the dimensions of each part in this embodiment is as follows. The shelf 10 has an external width (dimension in the X direction) W1 of 640 mm, a height (dimension in the Y direction) W2 of 290 mm, and a depth (dimension in the Z direction) W3 of 182 mm. The thickness of the first side surface portion 13, the second side surface portion 14, the top surface portion 11, and the bottom surface portion 15 is 5 mm. The thickness of the partition plate 16 is also 5 mm.

[0035] The width (dimension in the X direction) W4 of the section 18 (dimension in the X direction) is 85 mm, the height (dimension in the Y direction) W5 is 280 mm, and the depth W6 (dimension in the Z direction) is 170 mm. The front surface portion 17 has a thickness of 5 mm, a width W7 (dimension in the X direction) of 630 mm, and a height W8 (dimension in the Y direction) of 10 mm. The bottom inclined portion 19 has a width (X-direction dimension) W9 of 84 mm, a depth (Z-direction dimension) W10 of 167 mm, a height (Y-direction dimension) W11 of the leg portion 192 of 20 mm, and a thickness of the top portion 191 and the leg portion 192 of 5 mm.

[0036] (Method of attaching the shelf 10 to the support posts 41, 42) A method for attaching the shelf 10 to the support posts 41, 42 will be described. The method for attaching the shelf 10 to the support posts 41, 42 may be selected as appropriate depending on the weight of the shelf 10, the shape of the support posts 41, 42, etc. Here, a method for attaching the shelf 10 to the support posts 41, 42 using L-shaped support members 20, 30 will be described.

[0037] 4 is a diagram showing the shelf 10, the support members 20, 30, and the posts 41, 42. This Fig. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the attachment portion between the shelf 10 and the posts 41, 42. FIG. 5 is a plan view of the first side surface portion 13, the second side surface portion 14, the bottom surface portion 15, and the back surface portion 12. As shown in FIG. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which shelf 10 is attached to support columns 41 and 42 via support members 20 and 30. Fig. 6 also shows a state in which shelf 10 is attached to support columns 41 and 42, and then inclined bottom portion 19 is placed on compartment 18.

[0038] First, the support member 20 will be described. When attached to shelf 10, support member 20 has a side support portion 21 that extends in the vertical direction (Y direction) and is arranged along the joint (corner) between first side portion 13 and back portion 12 of shelf 10, and a bottom support portion 22 that is perpendicular to side support portion 21, extends in the depth direction (Z direction), and is arranged along bottom portion 15 of shelf 10. The end portion on the back side (-Z side) of bottom support portion 22 is joined to the underside (-Y side) of side support portion 21.

[0039] The side support portion 21 has a so-called L-shaped angle (equal leg angle iron) shape, and has a first piece 211 parallel to the YZ plane and a second piece 212 perpendicular to the first piece 211 and parallel to the XY plane. The bottom surface support part 22 has a third piece 221 parallel to the XZ plane and a triangular fourth piece 222 perpendicular to the third piece 221 and parallel to the YZ plane. The third piece 221 is a rectangular member with its long side in the depth direction (Z direction) and perpendicular to the first piece 211 and second piece 212. The fourth piece 222 is a plate-shaped member and has the function of reinforcing the third piece 221 joined to the side surface support part 21.

[0040] The support member 20 is a metal member, and in this embodiment is made of steel, although the support member 20 may be made of other metals as long as they have sufficient strength. In addition, in this embodiment, an example is shown in which the vertical dimension of the side support portion 21 is approximately equal to the height dimension of the shelf 10, and the depth dimension of the bottom support portion 22 is approximately equal to the depth dimension of the shelf 10, but this is not limited to this and may be selected appropriately depending on the weight of the shelf 10, etc.

[0041] As shown in Fig. 5(a), screw holes 13a and 13b for attaching the support member 20 are formed on the upper and lower ends of the rear (-Z) end of the first side surface portion 13 of the shelf 10. Also, as shown in Fig. 5(c), screw holes 15a and 15b for attaching the support member 20 on the rear and front ends are formed on the right (+X) end of the bottom surface portion 15 of the shelf 10. Corresponding to these holes, as shown in Fig. 4, the support member 20 has screw holes 211a and 211b on the upper and lower ends of the first piece 211 for attaching it to the shelf 10, and screw holes 221a and 221b on the front and rear sides of the third piece 221 for attaching it to the shelf 10.

[0042] The support member 30 is attached to the left end of the shelf 10, and has a mirror image of the support member 20. The support member 30 is made of the same material as the support member 20. Similar to support member 20, support member 30 has a side support portion 31 that extends in the vertical direction (Y direction) and is arranged along the joint (corner) between second side portion 14 and back portion 12 of shelf 10, and a bottom support portion 32 that is perpendicular to side support portion 31, extends in the depth direction (Z direction), and is arranged along bottom portion 15 of shelf 10. The end portion on the back side (-Z side) of bottom support portion 32 is joined to the underside (-Y side) of side support portion 31.

[0043] Side support portion 31 corresponds to side support portion 21 of support member 20 and has a first piece 311 parallel to the YZ plane and a second piece 312 perpendicular to it and parallel to the XY plane. Bottom support portion 32 corresponds to bottom support portion 22 of support member 20 and has a third piece 321 parallel to the XZ plane and a triangular fourth piece 322 perpendicular to it and parallel to the YZ plane.

[0044] As shown in Fig. 5(b), screw holes 14a and 14b for attaching the support member 30 to the upper and lower ends are formed at the rear (-Z) end of the second side surface portion 14 of the shelf 10. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 5(c), screw holes 15c and 15d for attaching the support member 30 to the rear and front ends are formed at the left (-X) end of the bottom surface portion 15. Corresponding to these holes, as shown in Fig. 4, the support member 30 has screw holes 311a and 311b at the upper and lower ends of the first piece 311 for attaching it to the shelf 10, and screw holes 321a and 321b at the front and rear sides of the third piece 321 for attaching it to the shelf 10.

[0045] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5(d), screw holes 12a and 12b are formed on the upper side of both ends in the left-right direction (X direction) on the back surface 12 of the shelf 10 to attach the shelf 10 to the supports 41 and 42 via the support members 20 and 30. 4, the support member 20 is provided with screw holes 212a, 212b at the upper and lower ends of the second piece 212 to correspond to these holes, for attaching the support member 20 to the support column 41. In addition, the support member 30 is provided with screw holes 312a, 312b at the upper and lower ends of the second piece 312 to attach the support member 30 to the support column 42.

[0046] When attaching the shelf 10 to the support posts 41 and 42, the support members 20 and 30 are attached to the shelf 10 first. Support member 20 is placed on shelf 10 so that first piece 211 contacts first side surface portion 13, second piece 212 contacts back surface portion 12, and third piece 221 contacts bottom surface portion 15. Then, hole 211a of first piece 211 is aligned with hole 13a of first side surface portion 13, hole 211b with hole 13b, hole 221a of third piece 221 with hole 15b of bottom surface portion 15, and hole 221b with hole 15a, and bolts (not shown) are inserted into each hole and screwed into nuts (not shown) to secure shelf 10 and support member 20 together.

[0047] Support member 30 is placed on shelf 10 so that first piece 311 contacts second side surface portion 14, second piece 312 contacts back surface portion 12, and third piece 321 contacts bottom surface portion 15. Then, hole 311a of first piece 311 is aligned with hole 14a of second side surface portion 14, hole 311b with hole 14b, hole 321a of third piece 321 with hole 15d of bottom surface portion 15, and hole 321b with hole 15c. Bolts (not shown) are inserted into the holes and screwed into nuts (not shown) to secure shelf 10 and support member 30 together. This allows the support members 20 and 30 to be attached to the shelf 10.

[0048] Next, the shelf 10 to which the support members 20 and 30 are attached is attached to the support posts 41 and 42. 4, the support 41 has holes 41a and 41b that penetrate from the rear side to the front side and are spaced apart in the vertical direction. Similarly, the support 42 has holes 42a and 42b that penetrate from the rear side to the front side. These holes 41a, 41b, 42a, and 42b are all screw holes for fixing the shelf 10 to the support.

[0049] Screw holes 212a and 212b corresponding to the holes 41a and 41b are formed in the second piece 212 of the support member 20, and screw holes 312a and 312b corresponding to the holes 42a and 42b are formed in the second piece 312 of the support member 30. These holes are matched to each other, and further, hole 41a and screw hole 212a are matched to screw hole 12a in the back portion 12, and hole 42a and screw hole 312a are matched to screw hole 12b in the back portion 12. The shelf 10 is attached to the supports 41 and 42 by inserting bolts (not shown) into the holes and screwing the bolts into nuts (not shown) to secure them in place. As a result, as shown in Fig. 6, the shelf 10 is attached to the support columns 41, 42 via the support members 20, 30. Then, as shown in Fig. 2, the shelf 10 attached to the support columns 41, 42 is fixed at a predetermined height above the top plate 44 of the workbench main body 40, completing the workbench with shelf 1. After the shelf 10 is attached to the support columns 41, 42 via the support members 20, 30, the inclined bottom portion 19 is placed in each compartment 18.

[0050] As described above, according to this embodiment, the top surface 11, back surface 12, first side surface 13, second side surface 14, bottom surface 15, and front surface 17 that constitute the shelf 10 are transparent, and the inclined bottom surface 19 that is placed on the compartment 18 is also transparent. Therefore, there are no blind spots compared to a conventional workbench equipped with an opaque shelf (for example, the shelf 10B and workbench with shelves shown in FIG. 7), and the state of a worker positioned on the front side (+Z side) of the shelf 10 can be clearly seen from a person positioned on the back side (-Z side) of the shelf 10. Therefore, the shelf 10 and workbench with shelves 1 of this embodiment are less likely to obstruct visibility of the actions of a worker positioned on the front side of the shelf 10, making it easy for a supervisor to monitor the worker. Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the shelf 10 and the inclined bottom portion 19 are transparent, so the top plate 44 where various tasks are performed is bright, improving the working environment for the workers.

[0051] (Variations) The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and variations are possible, and these are also within the scope of the present invention. (1) The inclined bottom surface portion 19 may not be disposed on the bottom surface 181 of all compartments 18 depending on the usage environment, the number of bill types that can be scanned by the banknote scanning machine, etc.

[0052] (2) While the support members 20, 30 have been shown as having rib-shaped fourth pieces 222, 322, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be configured without the fourth pieces 222, 322 as long as the bottom support portions 22, 32 can sufficiently support the shelf 10. Furthermore, the bottom support portions 22, 32 of the support members 20, 30 may also be L-shaped angles (equal-leg angle irons) similar to the side support portions 21, 31, and the fourth pieces 222, 322 may contact the first side surface portion 13 and the second side surface portion 14 of the shelf 10, respectively, when the support members 20, 30 are attached to the shelf 10.

[0053] (3) The shelf 10 may be configured without the front surface portion 17 if the bottom surface inclined portion 19 is detachably fixed and is sufficiently prevented from coming off during operation.

[0054] (4) The inclined bottom portion 19 may be plate-shaped, with the thickness of the front side being greater than the thickness of the rear side.

[0055] (5) The shelf 10 may not have the top surface portion 11.

[0056] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and variations, and may be combined as desired. [Explanation of symbols]
