Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, in the conventional transport trolley as described above, the following problems occur. That is, on the production line in the production factory, with one empty side of the rectangular parallelepiped transport trolley facing it, an operator performs the operation of loading a large number of automobile parts onto one side of the transport trolley. When that side is filled with automobile parts, then the operator has to rotate the entire transport trolley and turn another empty side towards the production line. Since the transport trolley is a heavy object, the physical burden required to rotate the entire transport trolley reduces the work efficiency.

[0006] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a transport platform structure that allows for loading a large number of products onto the platform until the entire platform is full, or conversely, unloading products, through only one side of the platform, without having to rotate the entire platform. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] For this purpose, the transport platform according to the present invention is a structure for storing and transporting a large number of long industrial products in an upright position, and comprises a base body; a rotating shaft having an upper end and a lower end rotatably supported by the base body; a plurality of brackets having a root end connected to the rotating shaft and a tip far from the rotating shaft, and arranged to be offset from each other in the axial and circumferential directions of the rotating shaft; and engaging members having an engaging shape corresponding to the industrial products and provided at the tips of the brackets.

[0008] According to this invention, since multiple engaging members are provided on the rotating shaft, the industrial products can be engaged with all the engaging members on the rotating shaft from any one side of the transport platform by rotating the shaft as appropriate and storing them. The same applies when removing all the industrial products from a transport platform filled with industrial products. Therefore, the workload on the worker, which was previously required to rotate the entire transport platform when storing industrial products, is reduced. Furthermore, since the arrangement of the brackets is offset from each other in the axial and circumferential directions of the rotating shaft, even if the industrial product has a main trunk that extends vertically and long branches that extend horizontally, or even if a part of the industrial product extends past the engaging member and across the rotating shaft to the other side, interference between the stored industrial products can be avoided, and a large number of industrial products can be stored on a single transport platform.

[0009] The arrangement of the brackets in this invention is not particularly limited, but in one aspect of this invention, the brackets are arranged spirally around a rotation axis. In this aspect, a large number of industrial products can be neatly arranged and stored spirally on the transport table.

[0010] The engaging member of the present invention may be shaped to engage only one industrial product, but a preferred aspect of the present invention is that the engaging member includes a plurality of engaging portions arranged continuously in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction with respect to a single bracket extending from the base end to the tip. With this aspect, multiple industrial products can be engaged with a single engaging member.

[0011] The means for rotating the rotating shaft are not particularly limited, but a preferred aspect of the present invention is that the transport platform further comprises a handle fixed to the rotating shaft and extending radially. In this aspect, the worker can grasp the tip of the handle extending outward from the rotating shaft with their hand and rotate the engaging member to access the desired engaging member. Moreover, by applying force to the tip of the handle with their hand, the engaging member can be rotated with little force, reducing the physical burden on the worker. Furthermore, since the handle is not ring-shaped around the rotating shaft, the industrial product does not interfere with the handle when the worker moves the industrial product up and down within the base to engage or remove it from the engaging member, thus not hindering work efficiency. The placement of the handle is not particularly limited, such as at the top, center, or bottom of the transport platform, but it is preferable that the handle be provided at the top of the rotating shaft.

[0012] In one aspect of the present invention, the transport platform further comprises a rotation lock mechanism provided on the base that, when connected to or disconnected from a handle, prevents or releases the rotation of the rotating shaft. In this aspect, since the rotating shaft is held in a manner that it does not rotate in principle, the engaging member is prevented from rotating unintentionally during storage work in which an industrial product is engaged with the engaging member, or conversely, during work in which it is removed. The rotation lock mechanism is not particularly limited and may be a brake mechanism that brakes a rotating shaft other than the handle. In another aspect, the transport platform of the present invention may not have a rotation lock mechanism, but may have a structure that suppresses the rotation of the rotating shaft.

[0013] In one aspect of the present invention, the connection position between the rotating shaft and the bracket, and / or the fixing position between the rotating shaft and the handle, are adjustable in the axial direction of the rotating shaft. According to this aspect, the positions of the bracket and the engaging member can be adjusted to suit the shape and size of the industrial product.

[0014] In one aspect of the present invention, the transport platform is further equipped with a rotation suppression mechanism that suppresses the rotation of the rotating shaft. In this aspect, when an operator engages an industrial product with the engaging member, the engaging member is prevented from moving undesirably, thereby improving work efficiency. Furthermore, the operator can rotate the engaging member by applying a certain amount of force.

[0015] In one aspect of the present invention, the transport platform further includes a sway-preventing member located below the multiple brackets and connected to a rotating shaft, which prevents the lower end of the industrial product from swaying. In this aspect, the industrial product is prevented from swaying and flying off the transport platform during transport. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] Thus, according to the present invention, the entire interior of the transport platform can be accessed from one side of the platform without having to rotate the entire platform. Therefore, the work is made more efficient when loading and unloading industrial products from the platform. In addition, a large number of long industrial products can be stored in the horizontal direction. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the same embodiment. FIG. 3 is a side view showing the same embodiment. The carrier 10 includes a frame-shaped base 11 that includes at least a part of a frame body, a rotating shaft 21 that is disposed at the center of the base 11 and extends in the vertical direction, a plurality of brackets 31 that are connected to the rotating shaft 21, and an engaging member 41 that is provided on each bracket 31.

[0019] The base 11 has a lower frame member 12, a leg member 13, a lower horizontal member 14, a column member 16, an upper frame member 17, and an upper horizontal member 18. A plurality of column members 16, 16... are arranged and have the same length. The leg member 13 supports the lower ends of the column members 16 from below. The leg member 13 contacts a floor surface such as a trolley 100 with caster wheels or a floor surface (not shown) of a building or a truck bed. The lower frame member 12 connects the lower ends of adjacent column members 16, 16. In the present embodiment, four lower frame members 12, 12, 12, 12 are horizontally arranged so as to form a rectangle, specifically a square. The lower horizontal member 14 is installed between two opposing lower frame members 12, 12 and extends so as to intersect the central portion of the rectangle defined by the four lower frame members 12. In the present embodiment, two lower horizontal members 14 are arranged in parallel. The horizontal member 14 supports a bearing 22 that is disposed at the center of the rectangle of the four lower frame members 12. The bearing 22 rotatably supports the lower end of the rotating shaft 21.

[0020] The leg member 13 has a sufficient length to ensure the distance from the floor surface to the lower frame member 12. Thereby, a fork of a forklift can be inserted below the lower frame member 12.

[0021] The upper frame member 17 connects the upper ends of adjacent column members 16, 16. In this embodiment, four upper frame members 17, 17, 17, 17 are arranged in the same manner as the lower frame members 12, 12, 12, 12. The upper horizontal member 18 is installed between two opposing upper frame members 17, 17 and extends so as to intersect the center of the rectangle partitioned by the four upper frame members 17, 17, 17, 17. In this embodiment, two upper horizontal members 18 are arranged parallel to the lower horizontal member 14. The upper horizontal member 18 supports a bearing 23 disposed at the center of the rectangle of the four upper frame members 17. The bearing 23 rotatably supports the upper end of the rotating shaft 21.

[0022] The bracket 31 has a base end 32 and a tip end 33, and is connected to the rotating shaft 21 at the base end 32 so as to be perpendicular to the rotating shaft 21. Specifically, for example, a pair of half-shaped clamp members 34, 34 sandwich an arbitrary position in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 21, which is a linear pipe, and in this state, are attached and fixed to this position by a connecting tool (not shown) such as a bolt and a nut. Further, the clamp member 34 is attached and fixed to the base end 32 by a connecting tool (not shown) such as a bolt and a nut. Alternatively, one of the half-shaped clamp members 34 may be integrally coupled with the base end 32. Thus, the bracket 31 is supported in a cantilever manner on the rotating shaft 21.

[0023] Centering around the rotating shaft 21, the bracket 31 of this embodiment extends radially from the base end 32 to the tip end 33. Also, a plurality of brackets 31 of this embodiment are provided at equal intervals from the upper side to the lower side in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 21. Further, adjacent brackets 31 in the vertical direction are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction centering around the rotating shaft 21. Particularly in this embodiment, a plurality of brackets 31, 31,... are arranged in a spiral shape centering around the rotating shaft 21.

[0024] An engaging member 41 is attached and fixed to the tip 33 of the bracket 31. The engaging member 41 includes a plurality (for example, 10) of engaging portions 42. Each engaging portion 42 has a notch corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the end of the industrial product W, for example, a groove with a roughly U-shaped cross-section or a groove with a roughly V-shaped cross-section, and the end of the industrial product W can be engaged with this notch. As a result, the industrial product W is held in a suspended position within the transport table 10. To avoid complexity in the drawings, Figures 1 and 3 show examples in which the industrial product W is engaged with several engaging portions 42 randomly selected from the plurality of engaging portions 42.

[0025] Focusing on a single engaging member 41, the multiple engaging portions 42 are arranged straight in the horizontal direction. This arrangement direction is perpendicular to the extending direction of the bracket 31 and coincides with the envelope direction of a virtual circle (not shown) centered on the rotation axis 21. With respect to the arrangement direction of the engaging portions 42, the length from one end of the engaging member 41 to the other is called the total length of the engaging member 41. A fixing band 43, which is the same length as the total length of the engaging member 41, is attached to one end of the engaging member 41.

[0026] As shown in Figure 2, the multiple engaging members 41 are arranged to form the sides of a polygon when viewed in the axial direction of the rotation axis 21, and are arranged in a spiral staircase shape as shown in Figure 1.

[0027] To elaborate on the industrial product W, as shown in Figure 5, the industrial product W comprises a main trunk W2 extending in a substantially straight line, a long first branch W3 extending in a substantially straight line from the first end of the main trunk W2 after changing direction, and a long second branch W4 extending in a substantially straight line from the second end of the main trunk W2 after changing direction, and is a long, slender part that extends in a U-shape. Such an industrial product W is, for example, a weatherstrip that seals the gap between a car door and the car body, and matches the contours of the three sides of the car door. The main trunk W2, the first branch W3, and the second branch W4 are arranged in substantially the same plane. Also, the first branch W3 and the second branch W4 extend in substantially the same direction with respect to the axis extending along the main trunk W2. Therefore, when the first end W5 of the main trunk W2 is engaged with the engaging portion 42 to suspend the industrial product W, the main trunk W2 extends vertically, while the first branch W3 and the second branch W4 extend horizontally, with the first branch W3 being on the upper side and the second branch W4 being directly below the first branch W3.

[0028] A swaying member 44 is positioned directly below each engaging member 41, 41... at a predetermined interval. The predetermined interval corresponds to the distance between the first branch W3 and the second branch W4. The swaying member 44 in this embodiment has a bottom wall and a pair of side walls erected on both edges of the bottom wall. The distance between the pair of side walls is approximately the same as the total length of the engaging member 41.

[0029] When the first end W5 of the industrial product W is engaged with the engagement portions 42, 42... of the engagement member 41 and suspended, the first branch W3 extends substantially parallel to the bracket 31 and grazes the rotation axis 21, with the tip of the first branch W3 positioned on the opposite side of the rotation axis 21 from the engagement portion 42. In this embodiment, the industrial product W is engaged with the engagement member 41 at the branching point (engaged portion) between the main trunk W2 and the first branch W3, as shown by the first end W5, but the engaged portion of the industrial product W is not limited to this.

[0030] Furthermore, the second branch W4 is located between a pair of side walls of the swaying member 44, and its swaying is restricted. Alternatively, the second branch W4 may be supported from below by the bottom wall of the swaying member 44. Such a second branch W4 also extends so as to graze the rotation axis 21, and the tip of the second branch W4 is located on the opposite side of the rotation axis 21 from the perspective of the swaying member 44.

[0031] Focusing on one engaging member 41, when the industrial product W is engaged with a series of engaging parts 42, 42... included in the engaging member 41, all of the second branches W4, W4... of the series of industrial products W are arranged in parallel and are collectively prevented from swaying by a corresponding single anti-sway member 44.

[0032] The transport platform 10 of this embodiment further includes branch support brackets 47. The branch support brackets 47 are made of, for example, an elongated pipe, an elongated rod, or an elongated strip, and are in an upward-opening U-shape, and are attached to the brackets 31. In this embodiment, the branch support brackets 47 are positioned directly above each bracket 31. The branch support brackets 47 support the first branch W3 of the industrial product W, which is suspended from the engaging member 41, from below.

[0033] The connection position between the rotating shaft 21 and the bracket 31 can be adjusted by the clamping member 34. This allows the vertical position of the engaging member 41 to be adjusted according to the size and shape of the industrial product W, such as when the distance between the first branch W3 and the second branch W4 is different. According to this embodiment, it is possible to accommodate industrial products W of different shapes.

[0034] When the industrial product W is engaged with all the engaging parts 42, 42... included in the engaging member 41, the tip of the fixing band 43 provided at one end of the engaging member 41 is locked to the other end of the engaging member 41. In this way, the fixing band 43 holds down the industrial product W and prevents the industrial product W from coming off the engaging parts 42. In this manner, the transport platform 10 stores a large number of industrial products W suspended from the engaging member 41. Furthermore, the transport platform 10 is transported by a trolley 100 or a forklift (not shown).

[0035] Referring to Figures 1 and 3, the transport platform 10 of this embodiment further comprises a plurality of handles 35, a rotation suppression mechanism 51, and a rotation lock mechanism 61. The rotation suppression mechanism 51 is located on the upper part of the transport platform 10 and positioned at the upper end of the rotating shaft 21. The handles 35 and the rotation lock mechanism 61 are located on the upper part of the transport platform 10, below the bearing 23 and above the group of engaging members 41.

[0036] The base end of the handle 35 is fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft 21, and the multiple handles 35 extend radially from the rotating shaft 21. Since the handles 35 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction in this way, the handles 35 do not interfere with the industrial product W when engaging or disengaging the industrial product W with the engaging portion 42.

[0037] The rotation suppression mechanism 51 includes a disc member 52 fixed coaxially to the rotation shaft 21, a tapered engagement projection 53 facing the outer circumferential surface of the disc member 52, and a biasing mechanism 54 that guides the engagement projection 53 to move back and forth toward the disc member 52 and biases the engagement projection 53 toward the outer circumferential surface of the disc member 52. The disc member 52 and the engagement member 41 of the industrial product W are connected via the rotation shaft 21 and the bracket 31. Therefore, when the engagement member 41 rotates around the rotation shaft 21, the disc member 52 also rotates. Numerous grooves 52b are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the disc member 52 at intervals in the circumferential direction. The grooves 52b have a V-shaped cross-section that extends parallel to the rotation shaft 21. In this embodiment, the grooves 52b are arranged at equal intervals of 30° around the rotation shaft 21.

[0038] The engaging projection 53 is constantly in contact with the outer surface of the disc member 52 by a coil spring built into the biasing mechanism 54. As a result, the tapered tip of the engaging projection 53 enters one of the many grooves 52b. This moderately restricts the rotation of the disc member 52, preventing the engaging member 41 from rotating unintentionally when the operator engages the industrial product W with the engaging portion 42 of the engaging member 41. On the other hand, if a greater force is applied, specifically if the operator rotates the handle 35 by hand with a certain amount of force, the groove side of the V-shaped groove 52b pushes the engaging projection 53 away, causing the engaging projection 53 to exit the groove 52b and releasing the rotation restriction on the disc member 52. This allows the engaging member 41 to rotate to the angle desired by the operator. After the disc member 52 has rotated, the engaging projection 53 enters another groove 52b, and the engaging member 41 is once again restricted from rotating.

[0039] Furthermore, the longer the handle 35, the less force is required to rotate the engaging member 41 by applying force to the tip of the handle 35. Also, considering the convenience of the operator's hand accessing the handle 35, the tip of the handle 35 is positioned at approximately the same radial position as the engaging member 41 or on the outer diameter side of the engaging member 41, with respect to the radial direction of the rotation axis 21.

[0040] Figure 4 is an enlarged perspective view showing the rotation lock mechanism 61, where (a) represents the unlocked state and (b) represents the locked state. The rotation lock mechanism 61 more strongly prevents (locks) the rotation of the rotation shaft 21 (Figure 3) than the rotation suppression mechanism 51 described above. Specifically, the rotation lock mechanism 61 has a locking member 63 that connects to and separates from the tip of the handle 35, and a reciprocating locking mechanism 64 that moves the locking member 63 forward and backward toward the handle 35, and also fixes the position of the locking member 63.

[0041] The handle 35 is a straight metal or resin pipe that extends radially around the rotation axis 21. The tip of the handle 35 rotates around the rotation axis 21 and can face the locking member 63 directly. The locking member 63 is cylindrical with a larger outer diameter than the handle 35 pipe and moves back and forth radially around the rotation axis 21. The reciprocating locking mechanism 64 guides the locking member 63 in the radial direction and moves the locking member 63 back until the tip of the handle 35 comes out of the cylinder of the locking member 63 (unlocked position), as shown in Figure 4(a), or moves the locking member 63 forward until the tip of the handle 35 enters the cylinder of the locking member 63 (locked position), as shown in Figure 4(b).

[0042] When the operator manually pushes the end 64r of the reciprocating locking mechanism 64, the locking member 63 is moved to the locked position shown in Figure 4(b), and the reciprocating locking mechanism 64 fixes the locking member 63 in that locked position. This prevents the rotation of the rotating shaft 21 and prevents the engaging member 41 from rotating. If the operator further pushes or pulls the end 64r manually, the locking member 63 is allowed to move from the locked position or retracts from the locked position. This allows the rotating shaft 21 to rotate and the engaging member 41 to rotate.

[0043] The transport platform 10 of this embodiment is a structure for storing and transporting a large number of long industrial products W in an orientation extending in the vertical direction, and comprises a base body 11, a rotating shaft 21 having an upper end and a lower end that is rotatably supported by the base body 11, a plurality of brackets 31, 31... having a root end 32 connected to the rotating shaft 21 and a tip 33 far from the rotating shaft 21, and arranged to be offset from each other in the axial and circumferential directions of the rotating shaft 21, and engaging members 41 having an engaging shape corresponding to the industrial products W and provided at the tip of the bracket 31. According to this embodiment, by gripping the handle 35 with their hand and rotating the rotating shaft 21, the worker can access an empty engaging member 41 from any one of the front, back, left, or right sides of the base body 11 to engage the industrial products W, or release the engagement and remove the industrial products W from the transport platform 10. Of course, any one surface includes the surface on which the forward and backward locking mechanism 61 is located. Furthermore, because the arrangement of the brackets 31, 31 is offset from each other in the axial and circumferential directions of the rotation axis 21, even if the industrial product W has a main trunk W2 that extends in the vertical direction as well as long first and second branch sections W3 and W4 that extend in the horizontal direction, and even if the first and second branch sections W3 and W4 extend from the engaging member 41 past the rotation axis 21 to the opposite side, interference between the industrial products W, W stored on the transport platform 10 can be avoided, and a large number of industrial products W can be stored on a single transport platform 10.

[0044] Furthermore, the multiple brackets 31, 31... in this embodiment are arranged spirally around the rotation axis 21. This allows a large number of industrial products W to be neatly arranged and stored spirally on the transport table 10.

[0045] Furthermore, the engaging member 41 of this embodiment includes 10 engaging portions 42, 42... arranged continuously in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of a single bracket 31 that extends from the base end 32 to the tip end 33. This allows 10 industrial products W to be engaged with a single engaging member 41, making quantity management easier.

[0046] Furthermore, since the transport platform 10 of this embodiment is further equipped with a handle 35 fixed to the rotating shaft 21 and extending radially, the worker can grasp the tip of the handle 35 extending outward from the rotating shaft 21 with their hand and rotate the engaging member 41 to access the desired engaging member 41. Moreover, by applying force to the tip of the handle 35 with their hand, the engaging member 41 can be rotated with little force, reducing the physical burden on the worker. In addition, since the handle 35 is not ring-shaped around the rotating shaft 21, the industrial product W does not interfere with the handle 35 when the worker moves the industrial product W up and down within the base 11 to engage or remove it from the engaging member 41, and work efficiency is not hindered. The placement of the handle 35 is not particularly limited, such as the top, middle, or bottom of the transport platform 10, but it is preferable that the handle 35 be provided on the top of the rotating shaft 21.

[0047] Furthermore, the transport platform 10 of this embodiment is further equipped with a rotation lock mechanism 61 provided on the base 11 that, when connected to or disconnected from the handle 35, prevents or releases the rotation of the rotating shaft 21. As a result, the rotating shaft 21 is held in place by the rotation lock mechanism so as not to rotate in principle, thereby preventing the engaging member from rotating unintentionally during storage work in which the worker engages the industrial product W with the engaging member, or conversely, during work in which it is removed.

[0048] In this embodiment, the bracket 31 is fixed to the rotating shaft 21 by the clamp member 34. By loosening and then tightening the clamp member 34, the connection position between the rotating shaft 21 and the bracket 31 can be adjusted in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 21. This allows the operator to adjust the position of the bracket 31 and the engaging member 41 according to the shape and size of the industrial product W.

[0049] Furthermore, the transport platform 10 of this embodiment is further equipped with a rotation suppression mechanism 51 that suppresses the rotation of the rotating shaft 21. This prevents the engaging member 41 from moving undesirably when the worker engages the industrial product W with the engaging member 41, thereby improving work efficiency. In addition, the worker can rotate the engaging member 41 by applying a certain amount of force.

[0050] Furthermore, the transport platform 10 of this embodiment is further equipped with a swaying member 44 located below the multiple brackets 31 and connected to the rotating shaft 21, which prevents the lower end portion of the industrial product W from swaying. This prevents the industrial product W from swaying and flying off the transport platform 10 while it is being transported.

[0051] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments. Various modifications and variations can be made to the illustrated embodiments within the same scope as the present invention, or within an equivalent scope. [Industrial applicability]
