Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, the mechanism disclosed in Patent Document 1 requires special processing of forming claws at the bottom of the battery case and forming grooves for inserting the claws in the battery storage portion in order to prevent the dropped battery case from falling. On the other hand, there has been a demand for the development of a method that can suppress the fall of a member on the storage side, such as a battery case, with only simpler processing without performing such special processing.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to be able to suppress the fall of a member on the storage side with only simpler processing as compared with the case where special processing is performed on each of the member on the storage side and the member on the stored side.

Here, the second storage section is configured to include at least surfaces facing each of the first opening, bottom surface, and two sides of the first storage section, and the rotation restricting section may be characterized in that it restricts the rotation of the first storage section by abutting against the ceiling surface among the opposing surfaces of the second storage section as the first storage section rotates. Furthermore, the second storage section may be configured to include a bracket member having a U-shaped cross-section and the surface of the object to be installed, to which the bracket member is fixed, and the first storage section may have a rotation-restricting wall which functions as the rotation-restricting section, and the rotation-restricting wall may restrict the rotation of the first storage section by abutting against a part of the surface of the object to be installed, which becomes the ceiling surface of the second storage section, as the first storage section rotates. Furthermore, the rotation restricting wall may be characterized by restricting the rotation angle of the first storage unit to 5 to 10 degrees. Furthermore, the protrusion may be characterized by abutting against the rotation restricting portion of the first storage unit as the first storage unit moves, thereby restricting the movement of the first storage unit. Furthermore, the device may be characterized by further comprising a storage object movement restricting unit that is detachable from the first storage unit and fixed to the first storage unit, thereby restricting the movement of the storage object stored in the first storage unit within the first storage unit. Furthermore, the object movement restricting section may be characterized by having two walls that restrict movement of the object within the first storage section, namely movement in the first attachment / detachment direction and movement in the second attachment / detachment direction. Furthermore, the first storage section, the second storage section, and the section that restricts the movement of the stored object may be fixed together as a single unit. Furthermore, the object to be stored may be a battery box having wiring, and the wiring may be connected to a terminal provided in the first storage compartment. Furthermore, the device may be characterized in that, with a part of the first storage section inserted into the second storage section, the battery box or the batteries stored in the battery box can be inserted and removed.

[Figure 4] This diagram illustrates the procedure for replacing the battery stored in the storage mechanism. [Figure 5] This is a side view showing an example of the configuration of the storage mechanism according to this embodiment. [Figure 6] This figure shows the state of the first storage compartment, as shown in Figure 5, when it tilts due to its own weight. [Figure 7]This figure shows a specific example of the storage mechanism shown in Figure 1 being attached to the frame of an injection molding machine. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings. [Configuration of storage mechanism 1] Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views showing an example of the configuration of the storage mechanism 1 according to this embodiment. Figure 1 shows the battery box 200, which is the object to be stored, in a stored state. Figure 2 shows the first storage section 11, which houses the battery box 200, pulled out from the second storage section 12 and tilted. The storage mechanism 1 is a mechanism that assists the operator in replacing batteries. The operator's battery replacement work includes removing and inserting batteries stored in the battery box 200 and replacing them, and removing and inserting the battery box 200 itself and replacing it.

[0010] The storage mechanism 1 includes a first storage section 11 for storing the battery box 200, a second storage section 12 for storing the first storage section 11, and a storage object movement restricting section 13 for restricting the movement of the battery box 200 stored in the first storage section 11.

[0011] The first storage section 11 is composed of a box-shaped member having a first opening 111 into which the battery box 200 can be inserted. The first storage section 11 stores the battery box 200 inserted from the first opening 111 toward the second side in the first insertion / detachment direction of Figure 1. The first insertion / detachment direction is the direction in which the worker inserts the battery box 200 into the first storage section 11 and the direction in which the worker removes the battery box 200. In this embodiment, the first insertion / detachment direction includes a direction tilted toward the front side of the second insertion / detachment direction of Figure 1 within a range of 0 to 10 degrees with respect to the vertical direction. The second insertion / detachment direction is the direction in which the worker inserts the first storage section 11 into the second storage section 12 and the direction in which the worker pulls the first storage section 11 out of the second storage section 12. In this embodiment, the second insertion / detachment direction is the horizontal direction. Furthermore, the first storage section 11, with the battery box 200 housed inside, is inserted into the second storage section 12 through the second opening 122 of the second storage section 12, from the front to the back in the second attachment / detachment direction shown in Figure 1, thereby being stored in the second storage section 12. Note that the terms "front side" and "back side" refer to the front side or back side from the perspective of the operator.

[0012] In the first storage compartment 11, the space for housing the battery box 200 is formed by four flat walls extending from the flat bottom 117, which constitutes the bottom surface of the first storage compartment 11, to the first side in the first attachment / detachment direction. The four walls forming the space for housing the battery box 200 are composed of walls 112 to 115. Wall 112 is a wall extending from the bottom 117 to the first side in the first attachment / detachment direction on the front side in the second attachment / detachment direction, and constitutes the front surface of the first storage compartment 11. Wall 113 is a wall extending from the bottom 117 to the first side in the first attachment / detachment direction on the back side in the second attachment / detachment direction, and constitutes the back surface of the first storage compartment 11. Wall 114 is a wall extending from the bottom 117 to the first side in the first attachment / detachment direction on the third side in the width direction of Figure 2, and constitutes one of the sides of the first storage compartment 11. Wall 115 is a wall (not shown) that extends from the bottom 117 to the first side in the first attachment / detachment direction on the fourth side in the width direction of Figure 2, and constitutes one of the sides of the first storage section 11.

[0013] The wall 113 functions as a rotation restricting wall that restricts the rotation of the first storage part 11 when it contacts and rotates along the side 125 which is one side of the second opening 122 of the second storage part 12. The side 125 is a side that extends in the width direction on the second side in the first attachment / detachment direction of the second opening 122. Although specific embodiments will be described later, the wall 113 that functions as a rotation restricting wall restricts the rotation of the first storage part 11 by hitting a part of the surface 141 of the installation object 14 that constitutes the inner wall of the second storage part 12 as the first storage part 11 rotates.

[0014] The battery box 200 stored in the first storage part 11 is of a type that stores three single alkaline dry batteries, and has a case for storing the batteries, a slide-opening / closing lid, terminals, and wiring. Further, on the rear side surface in the second attachment / detachment direction of the rear wall 113 in the second attachment / detachment direction of the first storage part 11, a terminal 22 for connecting the wiring of the battery box 200 is installed. The battery box 200 is connected to the terminal 22 via the wiring. For this reason, a hole 300 for passing wiring (not shown) is provided in the wall 113.

[0015] The second storage part 12 has a bracket member 120 with a substantially U-shaped cross-section. The bracket member 120 has an inner wall composed of surfaces facing the bottom 117, the wall 114, and the wall 115 of the first storage part 11 respectively. The bracket member 120 has a fixing part 121 for fixing itself to the surface 141 of the installation object 14. The fixing part 121 is four holes for passing bolts, and the bracket member 120 is fixed to the surface 141 of the installation object 14 by four bolts. Thereby, a cylindrical second storage part 12 composed of the bracket member 120 and the surface 141 which is its fixing destination is formed.

[0016] The second storage section 12 has a bolt 123 as a protrusion that restricts the movement of the first storage section 11, which is inserted through the second opening 122, in the opposite direction to the direction of insertion. The bolt 123 is a protrusion formed on a part of the inner wall of the second storage section 12, and restricts the movement of the first storage section 11 by abutting against a part of the first storage section 11 to prevent it from moving forward in the second attachment / detachment direction and falling out. In this embodiment, a hexagonal bolt 123 that can be inserted into a screw hole provided on a part of the inner wall of the second storage section 12 is used as the protrusion. However, this protrusion does not have to be a bolt, and even if it is a bolt, it does not have to be hexagonal like the bolt 123 shown in Figure 1, as it can physically restrict the movement of the first storage section 11 forward in the second attachment / detachment direction.

[0017] The storage object movement restricting section 13 is a component composed of three walls 131 to 133 that restrict the movement of the battery box 200 stored in the first storage section 11. Wall 132 restricts the movement of the battery box 200 toward the back in the second attachment / detachment direction inside the first storage section 11. Wall 133 restricts the movement of the battery box 200 toward the first side in the first attachment / detachment direction inside the first storage section 11.

[0018] The height of wall 132 (length in the first attachment / detachment direction) is set so that it does not reach the wiring of the battery box 200.

[0019] The object movement restricting section 13 is detachable from the first storage section 11 and, when attached to the first storage section 11, is fixed to the second storage section 12 together with the first storage section 11. Specifically, fixing sections 116, 124, and 134 are provided at the front side in the second attachment / detachment direction and at both ends in the width direction of each of the first storage section 11, the second storage section 12, and the object movement restricting section 13. The fixing sections 116, 124, and 134 are holes through which bolts (not shown) pass and are in communication with each other. Fixing section 134 is an elongated hole extending in the first direction. This allows for accommodating differences in the height (length in the first direction) of the battery box 200.

[0020] Therefore, by connecting bolts to the fixing parts 116, 124, and 134 and securing them with nuts, the first storage section 11, the second storage section 12, and the storage object movement restricting section 13 are fixed together. In this embodiment, the storage mechanism 1 has fixing parts 116, 124, and 134 for connecting bolts, which are provided at the third end and the fourth end in the width direction, respectively, but there may be only one fixing part 116, 124, and 134 for connecting bolts.

[0021] [Battery replacement procedure] Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the procedure for replacing the battery stored in the storage mechanism 1. The battery stored in the storage mechanism 1 is replaced using the following procedure. First, remove the bolts (not shown) that are connected to the fixing parts 116, 124, and 134 (see Figure 2). This makes it possible to pull out the first storage unit 11 towards the front in the second attachment / detachment direction, and also to remove the storage object movement restricting part 13 (see Figure 2). Figure 3 shows the state in which the first storage unit 11 has been pulled out towards the front in the second attachment / detachment direction and the storage object movement restricting part 13 has been removed.

[0022] When the object movement restricting unit 13 is removed from the first storage unit 11, the lid 201 of the battery box 200 is exposed, as shown in Figure 3. At this time, as will be described in detail later, the first storage unit 11 stabilizes under its own weight with the front part in the second attachment / detachment direction tilted toward the second side in the first attachment / detachment direction (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "bowing"). This makes the opening 111 of the first storage unit 11 easier for the worker to see. Therefore, the worker can perform tasks such as removing the lid 201 or replacing the batteries stored in the battery box 200 with high visibility and operability of the opening 111 of the first storage unit 11. Figure 4 shows the state after the batteries have been removed from the battery box 200.

[0023] The worker places the new battery in the battery box 200, closes the lid 201, and places the object movement restricting section 13 back in its original position. Then, the worker pushes the first storage section 11, with the object movement restricting section 13 in place, toward the back in the second attachment / detachment direction, and secures it by connecting the bolts to the fixing sections 116, 124, and 134. This completes the battery replacement process.

[0024] [Operation of storage mechanism 1] Figure 5 is a side view showing an example of the configuration of the storage mechanism according to this embodiment. Figure 6 shows the state when the first storage section 11 shown in Figure 5 is tilted due to its own weight. The bracket member 120, which constitutes the second storage section 12 shown in Figures 5 and 6, is fixed to the surface 141 of the object to be installed 14 with bolts 400. The object to be installed 14 is, for example, the frame of an injection molding machine. The surface 141 of the object to be installed 14 corresponds to the ceiling surface on the first side (top side) in the first attachment / detachment direction (up and down direction) as viewed from the bracket member 120.

[0025] In the storage mechanism 1, when the first storage unit 11, which is stored in the second storage unit 12, is pulled out towards the front in the second attachment / detachment direction, it reaches the state shown in Figure 5. Figure 5 shows the state when the first storage unit 11, which houses the battery box 200, is pulled out to its limit towards the front in the second attachment / detachment direction. When attempting to pull out the first storage unit 11 to its limit towards the front in the second attachment / detachment direction, the bolts 123 of the second storage unit 12 hit the wall 113 of the first storage unit 11, preventing the first storage unit 11 from being pulled out any further. This prevents the first storage unit 11 from falling.

[0026] When the worker manually pulls the first storage section 11 to its limit towards the front in the second attachment / detachment direction, as shown in Figure 5, and then releases their hand, the first storage section 11 tilts towards the second side (ground side) of the first attachment / detachment direction (up / down direction) due to its own weight, as shown in Figure 6. Specifically, the first storage section 11 begins to rotate with its bottom 117 in contact with the edge 125, which is the end of the second side (ground side) of the second opening 122 of the bracket member 120 in the first attachment / detachment direction (up / down direction). At this time, because the wall 113 is in contact with the bolt 123, the first storage section 11 rotates while sliding its bottom 117, which is in contact with the edge 125, towards the back in the second attachment / detachment direction. Also, when the first storage section 11 rotates, the bolt 123 in contact with the wall 113 also acts as a fulcrum.

[0027] When the first storage unit 11 begins to rotate due to its own weight, the walls 113 of the first storage unit 11 function as rotation-restricting walls, restricting the rotation of the first storage unit 11. Specifically, when the first storage unit 11 begins to rotate due to its own weight, the walls 113 of the first storage unit 11 abut against the surface 141 of the object 14 to be installed, preventing the first storage unit 11 from rotating any further. As a result, the first storage unit 11 becomes tilted, improving the visibility and operability of the battery box 200 stored in the first storage unit 11 for the worker, making it easier for the worker to replace the batteries. Furthermore, if the first storage unit 11 rotates too much, the battery box 200 is more likely to fall, so a rotation angle that reduces the risk of the battery box 200 falling while maintaining high visibility and operability of the battery box 200 is considered. For these reasons, the rotation angle a of the first storage unit 11 is preferably 5 to 10 degrees.

[0028] <Specific example> Figure 7 shows a specific example of the storage mechanism 1 of Figure 1 being attached to the frame of an injection molding machine. Figure 7 shows a specific example in which two storage mechanisms 1-1 and 1-2, each housing a battery box 200, are mounted side-by-side on the frame of an injection molding machine, which is the object to be installed 14. In Figure 7, the first storage section 11 can be stored in the second storage section 12 from the front to the back in the second direction. Also in Figure 7, the bolts that secure the fixing parts 116, 124, and 134 together have been removed in both storage mechanisms 1-1 and 1-2 in order to perform battery replacement work. Furthermore, in storage mechanism 1-1, the first storage section 11 is pulled out towards the front in the second attachment / detachment direction (before bowing), and in storage mechanism 1-2, the first storage section 11 is stored in the second storage section 12 (before being pulled out).

[0029] A control panel 31 is positioned in the area 500 enclosed by the frame of the injection molding machine, which is the object to be installed 14. For this reason, it is preferable that the storage mechanisms 1-1 and 1-2 be compactly mounted on the frame so as not to interfere with the control panel 31. Furthermore, it is preferable that the battery box 200 opens in a direction that makes it easy for an operator to replace the batteries. For these reasons, in this embodiment, the first opening 111 is configured to open toward the first side (top side) in the first attachment / detachment direction (up and down direction), and the first storage section 11 is configured to move toward the shorter side of the battery box 200.

[0030] In summary, the storage mechanism 1 according to this embodiment only needs to have the following configuration, and various different embodiments can be adopted. In other words, the storage mechanism 1 is characterized by having a first opening 111 into which a battery box 200 as an object to be stored is inserted, and a first storage section 11 that stores the battery box 200 inserted from the first opening 111 in a first insertion / removal direction, and a second storage section 12 into which the first storage section 11 is inserted, and a second storage section 12 that stores the first storage section 11 inserted from the second opening 122 in a second insertion / removal direction, wherein the first storage section 11 has a wall 113 that functions as a rotation restricting section that restricts its rotation by contacting a side 125 which is one side of the end of the second opening 122, and the second storage section 12 has a protrusion (for example, a bolt 123) that restricts the movement of the first storage section 11 by abutting against the first storage section 11 which moves in the opposite direction to the direction in which it was inserted.

[0031] As a result, the untreated wall 113 restricts the rotation of the first storage section 11, and the untreated bolts 123 restrict the movement of the first storage section 11. Consequently, compared to cases where special processing is applied to both the storage component (e.g., the second storage section 12) and the component being stored (e.g., the first storage section 11), the falling of the component being stored can be suppressed with only simpler processing.

[0032] Here, the second storage section 12 is configured to include at least surfaces facing the first opening 111, the bottom surface, and each of the two sides of the first storage section 11, and the wall 113 of the first storage section 11 may restrict the rotation of the first storage section 11 by abutting against the surface 141 which becomes the ceiling surface. This allows the rotation of the first storage unit 11 to be restricted as the untreated wall 113 abuts against a portion of the untreated surface 141.

[0033] Furthermore, the second storage section 12 is configured to include a bracket member 120 having a substantially U-shaped cross-section and a surface 141 of the object to be installed (for example, the frame of an injection molding machine) to which the bracket member 120 is fixed, and the first storage section 11 has a rotation-restricting wall which functions as a rotation-restricting section, and the wall 113 as a rotation-restricting wall restricts rotation by abutting against a part of the surface 141 which becomes the ceiling surface of the second storage section 12 as the first storage section 11 rotates. This allows the rotation of the first storage unit 11 to be restricted as the untreated wall 113 abuts against a portion of the untreated surface 141.

[0034] Furthermore, the rotation restricting wall may be characterized by restricting the rotation angle of the first storage section 11 to 5 to 10 degrees. This allows the battery box 200 and batteries to bend downwards towards the first storage section 11 while preventing them from falling out, thus improving visibility and operability for the worker performing battery replacement.

[0035] Furthermore, the protrusion may be characterized by abutting against the wall 113, which acts as a rotation restricting wall (rotation restricting part) of the first storage section 11, as the first storage section 11 moves, thereby restricting the movement of the first storage section 11. This allows both the rotation of the first storage unit 11 and the movement of the first storage unit 11 to be restricted using a single wall, the wall 113. As a result, a simpler configuration can be achieved.

[0036] Furthermore, the device may also be characterized by further comprising a storage object movement restricting unit 13 that is detachable from the first storage unit 11 and, while fixed to the first storage unit 11, restricts the movement of the battery box 200 stored in the first storage unit 11 within the first storage unit 11. As a result, the movement restriction unit 13 of the stored object restricts the movement of the battery box 200 within the first storage unit 11, thereby enhancing the effect of suppressing the fall of the first storage unit 11.

[0037] Furthermore, the object movement restricting section 13 may be characterized by having three walls that restrict movement in the first attachment / detachment direction and movement in the second attachment / detachment direction as movement within the first storage section 11 of the battery box 200. As a result, the storage object movement restricting unit 13 restricts the movement of the battery box 200 within the first storage unit 11 in two directions (the second attachment / detachment direction and the second attachment / detachment direction). Consequently, it is possible to prevent the battery box 200 from falling out of the first storage unit 11.

[0038] Furthermore, the first storage section 11, the second storage section 12, and the storage object movement restricting section 13 may be characterized by being fixed together as a single unit. This allows the first storage section 11, the second storage section 12, and the storage object movement restricting section 13 to be fixed together with a small number of bolts (for example, one or two), resulting in a simpler configuration.

[0039] Furthermore, the battery box 200 may be characterized in that it is a battery box having wiring, and that the wiring and the terminal 22 provided in the first storage section 11 are detachably connected. This allows for battery replacement to be performed with high visibility and ease of operation.

[0040] Furthermore, the device may be characterized by allowing the battery box 200, or the batteries stored in the battery box 200, to be inserted into or removed while a portion of the first storage section 11 is inserted into the second storage section 12. This allows the battery box 200 itself to be replaced, or the battery box 200 lid 201 to be opened and the batteries replaced, after the first storage compartment 11 has been pulled out from the second storage compartment 12, while maintaining high visibility and operability.

[0041] Furthermore, the storage mechanism 1 may be characterized in that it is installed on the object 14 such that the first opening 111 opens towards the top in the vertical direction and the second opening 122 opens in the horizontal direction. This makes it easy to remove the first storage compartment 11 from the second storage compartment 12, and then open the lid 201 of the battery box 200 to replace the batteries while maintaining good visibility and operability.

[0042] <Example 1> In the example described above, the storage mechanism 1 is mounted toward the object to be installed 14, which is located on the upper side in the vertical direction as viewed from the storage mechanism 1, such that the first attachment / detachment direction is in the vertical direction and the second attachment / detachment direction is in the horizontal direction. However, the storage mechanism 1 is not limited to this configuration. For example, the storage mechanism 1 may be mounted toward a surface of the object to be installed 14 that extends in the vertical direction, such that both the first and second attachment / detachment directions are horizontal.

[0043] In other words, the storage mechanism 1 may be characterized in that it is installed on the object 14 such that both the first opening 111 and the second opening 122 open horizontally. This allows for installation tailored to the specific circumstances of the object 14, such as space limitations.

[0044] <Modification 2> In the example described above, the surface of the wall 113 of the first storage section 11 that contacts the bolt 123 of the second storage section 12 is flat, but is not limited to this. For example, members that sandwich the bolt 123 from both sides may be formed on the surface that contacts the bolt 123. Specifically, for example, members that sandwich the bolt 123 from the first side and the second side in the first attachment / detachment direction may be formed on the surface that contacts the bolt 123. Examples of such members include two flat plate members having planes facing the bolt 123, extending from the surface of the wall 113 that the bolt 123 abuts towards the front side in the second attachment / detachment direction. Furthermore, the first storage member 11 may be configured to rotate around the bolt 123 as an axis of rotation while such members are sandwiching and supporting the bolt 123. In this case as well, the rotation of the first storage member 11 is restricted because the wall 113 of the first storage section 11 functions as the rotation-restricting wall described above. <Other> Although this embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. Furthermore, the effects of the present invention are not limited to those described in this embodiment. [Explanation of Symbols]
