DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] In order to explain the present disclosure in more detail, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0012] Embodiment 1 A storage item carrying-in / out jig 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. FIG.

[0013] First, the configuration of a housing 50 to which the storage item carry-in / out jig 10 according to the first embodiment is applied will be described with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3. Fig. 1 is a front view of the housing 50 to which the storage item carry-in / out jig 10 according to the first embodiment is applied. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the housing 50 to which the storage item carry-in / out jig 10 according to the first embodiment is applied. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of a support member 55.

[0014] 1 is installed outdoors, for example. The housing 50 is capable of housing electronic devices 61, 62, and 63. The housing 50 may be installed indoors as well as outdoors. The electronic devices 61, 62, and 63 will be described in detail later.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the housing 50 includes a housing body 51, a door 52, a hinge 53, a waterproof packing 54, a support member 55, and a support member 56.

[0016] The housing body 51 is box-shaped with an open front. The housing body 51 has an opening 51a. The opening 51a is in the shape of a vertically long rectangle. The upper side, lower side, and opposing left and right sides of the opening 51a are located inside the top surface, bottom surface, and opposing left and right inner side surfaces that form the internal space of the housing body 51. In other words, the opening 51a, which forms the frontage of the housing body 51, is formed smaller than the outer shape of the housing body 51.

[0017] In the housing 50, the side where the opening 51a of the housing main body 51 is located is referred to as the front side, and the opposite side is referred to as the rear side. In addition, in the housing 50, when the housing main body 51 (opening 51a) is viewed from the front, the left side of the opening 51a is referred to as the left side, and the right side of the opening 51a is referred to as the right side.

[0018] The door 52 is supported by the housing body 51 via two hinges 53, one at the top and one at the bottom. Right open endThe door 52 is fixed to the opening 51a by using screws, welding, or the like. The hinge 53 rotatably supports a rotation shaft (not shown) extending in the vertical direction. The door 52 is fixed to the rotation shaft so that it can be opened and closed. The door 52 closes to cover the entire opening 51a.

[0019] The waterproof gasket 54 is provided around the entire periphery of the open end of the housing body 51. The waterproof gasket 54 is disposed inside the housing body 51 relative to the hinge 53 and outside the housing body 51 relative to the opening 51a. The waterproof gasket 54 is formed, for example, from a waterproof elastic resin material. Therefore, when the door 52 is fully closed, the waterproof gasket 54 comes into close contact with the back surface of the door 52, thereby achieving a waterproof function. As a result, the inside of the housing body 51 is sealed.

[0020] The support member 55 is provided on the bottom surface of the housing main body 51. The support member 55 is made of, for example, one or more metal plates. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the support member 55 has a shape with one step on each of the front and rear. to The support member 55 has an attachment surface 55a that serves as the upper surface, and two fixing surfaces 55b that serve as the lower surface.

[0021] The mounting surface 55a is a surface for mounting the electronic device 61. The mounting surface 55a is positioned at a height equal to or higher than the installation height of the lower edge of the opening 51a. This allows the electronic device 61 to be easily carried into and removed from the housing body 51. The mounting surface 55a may be painted, plated, or provided with a protective sheet to prevent scratches due to contact with the electronic device 61 and reduce frictional resistance. The electronic device 61 is carried into the housing 50 in a direction toward the rear side. The electronic device 61 is removed from the housing 50 in a direction toward the front side.

[0022] The fixing surfaces 55b are surfaces for fixing the support member 55 to the bottom surface of the housing main body 51. The fixing surfaces 55b are arranged at the front and rear of the support member 55. The fixing surfaces 55b are fixed with screws, bolts, or the like. This improves the earthquake resistance of the electronic device 61.

[0023] The support member 56 is fixed to the inside of the housing main body 51 by screws or welding. One or more support members 56 may be provided, but the housing 50 according to the first embodiment is an example provided with two support members 56. The support member 56 is made of one or more metal plates. One support member 56 is disposed on each of the left and right sides of the support member 55. The support member 56 has a length that extends from the upper side to the lower side of the opening 51a, for example.

[0024] 2, one electronic device 61, one or more electronic devices 62, and one or more electronic devices 63 can be stored inside the housing main body 51 through the opening 51a. Of these, the electronic device 61, which is the stored item, is carried in or out of the housing 50 by a storage item carrying-in / out jig 10, which will be described later. The electronic device 61 is heavier than the electronic devices 62 and 63. The electronic device 62 is a large electronic device, and the electronic device 63 is a small electronic device. In other words, the electronic device 62 is larger than the electronic device 63.

[0025] 2 shows an example in which the housing 50 can store one electronic device 61, four electronic devices 62, and four electronic devices 63. The arrangement of the electronic devices 62 and 63 is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 2 and can be adjusted as appropriate. As described above, the one electronic device 61 is detachable from the support member 55 provided inside the housing main body 51.

[0026] All the electronic devices 62 are arranged above the electronic device 61. The four electronic devices 62 are lined up in a row in the vertical direction. These electronic devices 62 are arranged between the left and right support members 56 and fixed to the support members 56.

[0027] All of the electronic devices 63 are disposed above the electronic devices 61. These electronic devices 63 are disposed vertically side by side, two on each side of the left and right sides, inside the housing body 51. The electronic device 63 located on the left side of the housing body 51 is disposed outside the left support member 56 and is fixed to the support member 56. The electronic device 63 located on the right side of the housing body 51 is disposed outside the right support member 56 and is fixed to the support member 56.

[0028] Next, the configuration of the storage item carry-in / out jig 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of the storage item carry-in / out jig 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0029] 4, the storage item transport jig 10 includes a base 11, a stage 12, rollers 13, a ball screw 14, a handle 15, a ball screw support mechanism 16, a movable member 17, and a protruding member 18. In the storage item transport jig 10, the side where a rotation support member 16a (described later) is arranged is the leading end side in the longitudinal direction, and the side where a rotation support member 16b (described later) is arranged is the base end side in the longitudinal direction.

[0030] The base 11 is provided at the bottom of the storage item transport jig 10. The base 11 is also arranged on the base end side of the storage item transport jig 10. This base 11 is able to be placed and slide on the installation surface on which the housing 50 is placed when the electronic device 61 is being loaded or unloaded.

[0031] The stage 12 is provided on the upper surface of the base 11. An electronic device 61 can be placed on the upper surface of the stage 12. The stage 12 also rotatably supports a plurality of rollers 13. The rollers 13 have a part of their outer periphery that is Stage 12The rollers 13 are provided so as to protrude from the upper surface of the stage 12. The rotation direction of the rollers 13 coincides with the front-rear direction of the housing 50, i.e., the direction in which the electronic device 61 is carried in and out. Therefore, the electronic device 61 placed on the upper surface of the stage 12 can be moved in the front-rear direction by utilizing the rotation of the rollers 13. The rollers 13 are formed of, for example, a resin material or a metal material.

[0032] When the electronic device 61 is carried into or out of the housing body 51, the leading end of the stage 12 is inserted into the housing body 51 through the opening 51a. Therefore, the width direction length of the stage 12 is set in advance according to the width direction length of the opening 51a and the width direction length of the electronic device 61.

[0033] The ball screws 14 are arranged on both the left and right sides of the stage 12, corresponding to the left and right sides of the housing main body 51. These ball screws 14 are screws that extend in the length direction of the stored item transfer jig 10. Each ball screw 14 is rotatably supported with respect to the stage 12 via a ball screw support mechanism 16. For this reason, the ball screws 14 can be arranged on both sides in the width direction of the electronic device 61 before and after storage.

[0034] Specifically, the ball screw support mechanism 16 has rotation support members 16a and 16b and a connecting member 16c.

[0035] The rotation support members 16a, 16b are arranged spaced apart from each other in the front-to-rear direction. The rotation support member 16a arranged on the tip side is not located directly above the stage 12, but is arranged spaced apart from the stage 12 toward the tip side. This rotation support member 16a rotatably supports one end (tip end) of the ball screw 14 and restricts its movement in the axial direction. The rotation support member 16b arranged on the base end side is located directly above the stage 12. This rotation support member 16b rotatably supports the other end (base end) of the ball screw 14 and restricts its movement in the axial direction.

[0036] The connecting member 16c is a member that extends in the longitudinal direction of the storage item transport jig 10 and connects the rotation support members 16a and 16b to each other in the longitudinal direction. The tip side of the connecting member 16c protrudes from the upper surface of the stage 12 toward the housing side. The base end side of the connecting member 16c is supported on both the left and right sides of the upper surface of the stage 12.

[0037] The handle 15 is provided at the other end of the ball screw 14. When the handle 15 rotates, the ball screw 14 also rotates in the same direction as the handle 15.

[0038] When the electronic device 61 is carried into or removed from the housing body 51, the tip end side of the ball screw support mechanism 16 is inserted into the housing body 51 through the opening 51a. Therefore, the distance (pitch) between the left and right ball screws 14 and the distance between the left and right connecting members 16c are set in advance according to the widthwise length of the opening 51a and the widthwise length of the electronic device 61. Furthermore, the length of the ball screw 14 and the length of the connecting member 16c are set in advance according to the depth length of the housing body 51 from the opening 51a and the length of the electronic device 61 in the front-to-rear direction.

[0039] The movable member 17 is provided on the ball screw 14. The movable member 17 is movable in the axial direction as the ball screw 14 rotates. At this time, the rotation of the movable member 17 is restricted. For example, the movable member 17 has a ball nut structure relative to the ball screw 14. A thread that meshes with the ball screw 14 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the movable member 17, and a rotation restricting portion that restricts the rotation is provided.

[0040] For example, when the ball screw 14 rotates forward, the movable member 17 moves toward one end of the ball screw 14. In other words, the movable member 17 moves toward the housing main body 51. When the ball screw 14 rotates backward, the movable member 17 moves toward the other end of the ball screw 14. In other words, the movable member 17 moves away from the housing main body 51.

[0041] The protruding member 18 is detachably attached to the movable member 17. The protruding member 18 is provided so as to protrude from the inner side surface of the movable member 17 in the width direction toward the inside of the storage item carry-in / out jig 10 (electronic device 61) in the width direction. At this time, the protruding member 18 is constantly biased toward the inside of the storage item carry-in / out jig 10 in the width direction by a biasing means such as a spring.

[0042] The protruding member 18 has an inclined surface 18a and a locking surface 18b. The protruding member 18 can be attached to the movable member 17 so that the inclined surface 18a and the locking surface 18b face in opposite directions in the axial direction of the ball screw 14.

[0043] The inclined surface 18a gradually slopes inward in the width direction of the storage item transport jig 10 from the tip end to the base end. In other words, the inclined surface 18a gradually slopes in the protruding direction of the protruding member 18 from the tip end to the base end of the ball screw 14. When the electronic device 61 is transported out of the housing main body 51, as the protruding member 18 moves from the front side toward the electronic device 61, the inclined surface 18a can abut against the front corner of the stored electronic device 61. At this time, as the inclined surface 18a abuts against the front corner of the electronic device 61, the protruding member 18 is pushed into the movable member 17 by the front corner against the biasing force. As a result, the protruding member 18 passes backward through the stored electronic device 61 in the pushed-in state.

[0044] In contrast, the locking surface 18b is a flat surface located on the opposite side of the inclined surface 18a in the longitudinal direction of the storage item transport jig 10. That is, the locking surface 18b is a surface extending in the width direction of the storage item transport jig 10. In other words, the locking surface 18b is a surface extending in the protruding direction of the protruding member 18. When the electronic device 61 is transported out of the housing body 51, as the protruding member 18 moves from the rear side toward the electronic device 61, the locking surface 18b can abut against the rear corner of the stored electronic device 61. At this time, the locking surface 18b is biased and protrudes, so it locks with the rear corner. As a result, the protruding member 18 locks the electronic device 61, moving the electronic device 61 toward the front side of the housing body 51. That is, the storage item transport jig 10 transports the electronic device 61 out of the housing body 51.

[0045] Furthermore, when the electronic device 61 is carried into the housing body 51, as the protruding member 18 moves from the front side toward the electronic device 61, the locking surface 18b can come into contact with the front corner of the electronic device 61 that is on the stage 12 before being stored. At this time, the locking surface 18b is biased and protrudes, so it locks with the front corner. As a result, the protruding member 18 locks the electronic device 61, thereby moving the electronic device 61 toward the rear side of the housing body 51. In other words, the storage item carrying in / out jig 10 carries the electronic device 61 into the housing body 51.

[0046] Next, the operation of the storage item carry-in / out jig 10 according to embodiment 1 during carry-in and carry-out will be described with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing the operation of the storage item carry-in / out jig 10 according to embodiment 1 during carry-out. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing the operation of the storage item carry-in / out jig 10 according to embodiment 1 during carry-in. Note that Fig. 5A shows the left protruding member 18 with the inclined surface 18a in contact with the front corner of the electronic device 61, and the right protruding member 18 with the locking surface 18b locked to the rear corner of the electronic device 61.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 5, when the electronic device 61 is first carried out of the housing body 51, the protruding member 18 is attached to the movable member 17 so that the inclined surface 18a faces the tip side (toward the housing body 51).

[0048] Next, the storage item transport jig 10 is installed in front of the housing main body 51 in which the electronic device 61 is stored. The tip end of the jig is inserted into the housing main body 51 through the opening 51a. At this time, the ball screw 14 and the ball screw support mechanism 16 are installed so as to sandwich the stored electronic device 61 from both the left and right sides. Furthermore, the tip end of the stage 12 abuts against the support member 55. Here, the top surface of the stage 12 and the mounting surface 55a of the support member 55 are set to be at approximately the same height position.

[0049] Next, handle 15 is rotated forward, and ball screw 14 also rotates forward. Accordingly, movable member 17 advances toward the tip side. As a result, inclined surface 18a of protruding member 18 protruding from movable member 17 abuts against the front corner of electronic device 61 to be stored. As a result, protruding member 18 passes through electronic device 61 toward the rear while being pushed into movable member 17 against the biasing force.

[0050] Next, the handle 15 is rotated in the reverse direction, causing the ball screw 14 to rotate in the reverse direction. Accordingly, the movable member 17 moves backward toward the base end. As a result, the locking surface 18b of the protruding member 18 protruding from the movable member 17 locks with the rear corner of the electronic device 61 to be stored. As a result, the protruding member 18 presses the locked electronic device 61 forward from inside the housing body 51, thereby moving it to the upper surface of the stage 12. Therefore, the storage item transport jig 10 has transported the electronic device 61 out of the housing body 51. Thereafter, the storage item transport jig 10 is retracted from the front of the housing body 51.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 6, first, when the electronic device 61 is carried into the housing body 51, the protruding member 18 is attached to the movable member 17 so that the locking surface 18b faces the tip side (toward the housing body 51).

[0052] Next, the storage item transport jig 10 is installed in front of the housing body 51. Furthermore, the tip end side of the jig is inserted into the housing body 51 through the opening 51a thereof. At this time, the ball screw 14 and the ball screw support mechanism 16 are installed so as to sandwich the support member 55 provided inside the housing body 51 from both the left and right sides. Furthermore, the tip end of the stage 12 abuts against the support member 55. Here, the upper surface of the stage 12 and the mounting surface 55a of the support member 55 are set so as to be at approximately the same height position.

[0053] Next, the electronic device 61 is placed on the upper surface of the stage 12. Then, the handle 15 is rotated forward, and the ball screw 14 also rotates forward. Accordingly, the movable member 17 advances toward the tip side. As a result, the locking surface 18b of the protruding member 18 protruding from the movable member 17 locks with the front corner of the electronic device 61 placed on the upper surface of the stage 12. As a result, the protruding member 18 presses the locked electronic device 61 from the upper surface of the stage 12 toward the rear of the housing main body 51, thereby moving it onto the mounting surface 55a of the support member 55. Therefore, the storage item transport jig 10 has loaded the electronic device 61 into the housing main body 51. Thereafter, the storage item transport jig 10 is retracted from the front of the housing main body 51.

[0054] As described above, stored item transport jig 10 according to the first embodiment includes ball screw 14, the tip of which is inserted into housing main body 51 through opening 51a that opens in the front surface thereof, movable member 17 that moves axially on ball screw 14 as ball screw 14 rotates, and protruding member 18 that is biased outward from movable member 17 and protrudes from movable member 17. Protruding member 18 abuts against an item stored inside housing main body 51 from the front side and has inclined surface 18a that gradually inclines in the protruding direction of protruding member 18 as it moves from the tip side to the base end side of ball screw 14, and locking surface 18b that extends in the protruding direction of protruding member 18 and locks against the rear side of the item stored inside housing main body 51 and the front side of the item before it is stored inside housing main body 51. Therefore, the storage item transport jig 10 can transport items in and out without requiring space directly above and below the stored items to transport the items in and out.

[0055] Furthermore, in stored item transport jig 10, protruding member 18 can be attached to movable member 17 so that inclined surface 18a and locking surface 18b face in opposite directions in the axial direction of ball screw 14. Therefore, stored item transport jig 10 can be provided with inclined surface 18a and locking surface 18b on one protruding member 18, which simplifies the configuration and makes it easy to switch between transporting and unloading operations.

[0056] Furthermore, in the storage item carrying-in / out jig 10, the mounting surface 55a for the storage item to be stored inside the housing body 51 is positioned at a height equal to or higher than the installation height of the lower side of the opening 51a. Therefore, the storage item carrying-in / out jig 10 can easily carry in and out the storage item.

[0057] Embodiment 2 A storage item carry-in / out jig 20 according to embodiment 2 will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing the configuration of storage item carry-in / out jig 20 according to embodiment 2. Note that components having the same functions as those described in embodiment 1 above are given the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0058] As described above, the storage item transporting / unloading jig 10 according to the first embodiment is provided with two handles 15 corresponding to the two movable members 17. In contrast, the storage item transporting / unloading jig 20 according to the second embodiment is provided with a single common handle 15 for the two movable members 17. Therefore, the storage item transporting / unloading jig 20 according to the second embodiment is equipped with handle shaft 21, gears 22a, 22b, rotation support members 23a, 23b, and worm gears 24a, 24b in addition to the configuration of the storage item transporting / unloading jig 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0059] As shown in Fig. 7, a handle 15, a handle shaft 21, gears 22a and 22b, and rotation support members 23a and 23b are provided at the base end on the top surface of the stage 12. The handle shaft 21 is an axis extending in the width direction of the storage item transport jig 20. One end of the handle shaft 21 is inserted into the center of the handle 15. The gear 22a is provided on one end side of the handle shaft 21, and the gear 22b is provided on the other end side of the handle shaft 21. The rotation support member 23a rotatably supports one end side of the handle shaft 21. The rotation support member 23b rotatably supports the other end side of the handle shaft 21.

[0060] On the other hand, worm gear 24a is coaxially connected to the other end of right-side ball screw 14. This worm gear 24a is arranged closer to the base end of storage item transport jig 20 than right-side rotation support member 16b. Worm gear 24a meshes with gear 22a. Furthermore, worm gear 24b is coaxially connected to the other end of left-side ball screw 14. This worm gear 24b is arranged closer to the base end of storage item transport jig 20 than left-side rotation support member 16b. Worm gear 24b meshes with gear 22b.

[0061] Therefore, when the handle 15 rotates, the handle shaft 21 and gears 22a and 22b rotate accordingly. This causes the worm gears 24a and 24b, which mesh with the gears 22a and 22b, to rotate, causing the left and right ball screws 14 to rotate. As a result, the left and right movable members 17 move simultaneously in the same direction. Note that the storage item transport jig 20 according to embodiment 1 may rotate the handle shaft 21 using any one of electricity, hydraulics, air pressure, etc., instead of the handle 15.

[0062] As described above, in the storage item transport jig 20 according to the second embodiment, the ball screws 14 are provided on both sides of the storage item in the width direction, and one handle 15 is provided for simultaneously rotating the ball screws 14. Therefore, the storage item transport jig 20 can share the handle 15. As a result, the configuration of the storage item transport jig 20 can be simplified.

[0063] Embodiment 3 A storage item carry-in / out jig 30 according to embodiment 3 will be described with reference to Figs. 8 and 9. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing the configuration of storage item carry-in / out jig 30 according to embodiment 3. Fig. 9 is a diagram showing the configuration of electronic device 61 to be stored. Note that components having the same functions as those described in embodiment 1 above are given the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted.

[0064] The storage item transport jig 30 according to the third embodiment shown in Fig. 8 is applied to an electronic device 61 shown in Fig. 9. As shown in Fig. 9, the electronic device 61 has a flat plate-shaped protrusion 61a. This protrusion 61a abuts against the inclined surface 18a of the protrusion member 18 and is locked to the locking surface 18b of the protrusion member 18. The protrusion 61a is provided on the left and right sides of the electronic device 61. Specifically, the protrusion 61a is provided on the left side so as to protrude outward from the front. Furthermore, the protrusion 61a is right side It is provided so as to protrude outward from the front.

[0065] In this way, electronic device 61 has protrusions 61a at the front of the left side surface and the front of the right side surface, so that when electronic device 61 is carried out, locking surface 18b of protruding member 18 locks near opening 51a. Therefore, stored item carrying-in / out jig 30 can reduce the amount of movement of movable member 17 toward housing main body 51. As a result, stored item carrying-in / out jig 30 can shorten the length of ball screw 14 and the length of ball screw support mechanism 16, thereby making the jig smaller and lighter.

[0066] As described above, in the storage item transport jig 30 according to the third embodiment, the storage item has the protrusion 61a with which the inclined surface 18a abuts and with which the locking surface 18b locks. Therefore, the storage item transport jig 30 can be made smaller and lighter.
