Description

The present invention relates to a tray used for transporting items, etc.

It is known that items are placed on trays for transport or the like. The trays are provided with storage sections capable of storing items, and the storage sections are unevenly shaped to match the shape of the items in order to support the items and prevent relative displacement of the items in the horizontal direction. It is also known that when transporting items, trays with items stored in their storage sections are stacked one on top of the other (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2013-91499 A

However, if the trays are stacked while the items are stored in an incorrect orientation that differs from the correct orientation in the storage section, there is a risk that the items will be damaged or the stacked trays will tilt.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems exemplified above, and its purpose is to provide a tray that can prevent items from being stored in the wrong position.

Below, we will explain each of the means suitable for solving the above problems, etc., by item. In addition, we will add the action and effect specific to the corresponding means as necessary.

Means 1. A tray having a storage section capable of storing an article, the storage section having a base section and a tubular section protruding from the base section and opening at its tip end side,
The storage section is configured to be able to store the article in a normal position in which the cylindrical section opens downward,
The tray is characterized in that the storage section is equipped with an erroneous storage prevention section that is inserted inside the cylindrical section when the item is stored in the storage section in the correct position, and that abuts against the item when the item is stored in the storage section in an incorrect position different from the correct position, thereby supporting the item in an inclined position in which the height direction of the item in the incorrect position is inclined relative to the height direction of the item when it is stored in the storage section in the correct position.

According to the means 1, when an item is stored in the storage section in an incorrect position, the incorrectly oriented item is supported in an inclined position (the height direction of the item stored in the incorrect position is inclined relative to the height direction of the item stored in the correct position, e.g., the vertical direction). This makes it easier for the worker to recognize that the item is stored in an incorrect position. This prevents the storage state of the items from becoming unstable due to the items being stored in an incorrect position, and the items from being displaced and damaged when the tray is transported, or from being damaged when trays containing items are stacked one above the other, and from tilting the stacked trays.

Means 2. The storage section has a bottom portion that abuts against and supports the tubular portion of the article in the normal position,
The erroneous accommodation prevention portion protrudes upward from the bottom portion and is formed integrally with the bottom portion,
The tray described in means 1 is characterized in that the erroneous storage prevention section is provided with an abutment section that can abut against the item stored in the storage section in the incorrect posture, and the uppermost tip of the abutment section is located at a position away from the center of the storage section when viewed in a plane.

According to the second method, when an item is stored in the storage section in an incorrect position, the item can be tilted in a predetermined direction, not randomly. This makes it easier for the worker to recognize that the item is stored in an incorrect position, and prevents the item from being tilted in the desired direction.

Means 3. The contact portion of the erroneous accommodation prevention portion has an inclined portion that is inclined downward from the end portion where the apex is provided to the opposite end portion,
The tray according to Means 2, wherein the lower end of the inclined portion is located on the opposite side of the top portion across the center of the storage portion when viewed in a plane.

According to the third method, the inclined object can be supported more stably by the mis-accommodation prevention section. In addition, the inclined object can be guided relatively stably toward the downstream side of the inclined section (until it reaches a position where the displacement is restricted).

Means 4. The storage section is
a restricting portion that restricts displacement of the container portion toward the outer periphery by contacting an upper portion of a side surface of the article in the inclined position;
The tray described in means 3 is characterized in that it is provided with an interference avoidance portion capable of accommodating a portion of the underside of the item when the item is in the inclined position and displacement is restricted by the restricting portion.

According to the fourth aspect, when an object is stored in an incorrect position and is placed in an inclined position (displaced downward as guided by the inclined portion), it is possible to prevent the edge of the lower surface of the object from coming into contact with the bottom of the storage section, thereby preventing the bottom from being scraped off and adhering to the object due to the contact. It may also be configured such that "the object stored in the storage section in the correct position is not stored in the interference avoidance section."

Means 5. A plurality of the storage sections are provided,
A positioning recess provided on a lower surface side of the accommodation portion;
a positioning protrusion provided between the accommodating portions and protruding upward;
When the upper tray is placed in an orientation rotated horizontally by a specific angle relative to the lower tray, the positioning protrusion of the lower tray is positioned inside the positioning recess of the upper tray, and the upper and lower trays can be stacked in a tiered state in which misalignment in the horizontal direction is restricted,
The tray according to means 3 or 4, characterized in that it is provided with a downward protrusion that protrudes downward from the inclined portion and is capable of abutting against the upper surface side of the positioning protrusion of the lower tray when in the stacked state.

According to Means 5, when a tray is placed above a tray containing items and items are stored in the upper tray, if an item is stored in an incorrect position, it is possible to prevent the erroneous storage prevention section (inclined section) from being deformed downward by the item. This protects the shape of the erroneous storage prevention section, and more reliably achieves the effect of causing an item stored in an incorrect position to assume an inclined position.

One embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the tray 1 includes a base 2 that is generally rectangular in plan view, an edge wall 3 that extends downward from the outer periphery of the base 2, and a storage section 4 that is formed by recessing the base 2 downward and is capable of storing an item 31. The storage sections 4 of this embodiment are formed in three rows in the longitudinal direction of the tray 1, each row being made up of two storage sections 4 that are spaced a predetermined distance apart from each other in the lateral width direction of the tray 1, and the storage sections 4 in the middle row are shifted by half a pitch in the lateral width direction of the tray 1 from the storage sections 4 in the end rows. The tray 1 of this embodiment is integrally formed by vacuum molding using polyethylene as a material.

5 and 6, the article 31 includes a disk-shaped base portion 32, a cylindrical first tubular portion 33 protruding from one surface (front surface) of the base portion 32, and a cylindrical second tubular portion 34 protruding from the surface (back surface) of the base portion 32 opposite to the one surface. The first tubular portion 33 has a central axis that is located on an extension of the central axis of the base portion 32, and is provided on the inner periphery side of the base portion 32 relative to the outer periphery of the base portion 32 (having a smaller diameter than the outer diameter of the base portion 32). A space portion 35 is formed inside the first tubular portion 33, and an opening portion 36 is provided on the tip side of the first tubular portion 33. The second tubular portion 34 has a central axis that is located on an extension of the central axis of the base portion 32, and is provided on the inner periphery side of the base portion 32 relative to the first tubular portion 33 (having a smaller diameter than the first tubular portion 33). In this embodiment, the first tubular portion 33 constitutes the "tubular portion".

2 to 4, the storage section 4 includes a lower bottom 11 having a generally circular shape in plan view, a lower wall 12 extending upward from the outer periphery of the lower bottom 11, an upper bottom 13 extending from the upper edge of the lower wall 12 to the outer periphery of the storage section 4, and an upper wall 14 extending upward from the outer periphery of the upper bottom 13, and the upper edge of the upper wall 14 is connected to the base 2. As shown in FIG. 7, the storage section 4 of this embodiment is configured to be able to store the item 31 in a normal position in which the first cylindrical section 33 (space section 35) opens downward (see storage section 4X in FIG. 1). When the item 31 is stored in the storage section 4 in the normal position, the peripheral portion of the opening 36 of the first cylindrical section 33, which corresponds to the lower end of the item 31 in the normal position, abuts against the lower bottom 11, and the central axis of the item 31 is supported to extend in a generally vertical direction. In addition, the lower surface (surface) of the base portion 32 of the article 31 in the correct position is supported by abutting against the upper bottom portion 13. Furthermore, when the article 31 is stored in the storage unit 4 in the correct position, the lower wall portion 12 is configured to be able to abut against the outer circumferential surface of the first cylindrical portion 33 when the article 31 is displaced in a predetermined horizontal direction, and further displacement of the article 31 in the predetermined horizontal direction is restricted. Note that, when the article 31 is stored in the storage unit 4 in the correct position, only one of the first cylindrical portion 33 and the base portion 32 may be configured to be supported by abutting against the lower bottom portion 11 and the upper bottom portion 13 of the storage unit 4.

2 to 4, the storage section 4 is provided with an erroneous storage prevention section 15 that protrudes upward from the lower bottom section 11 on the inner periphery side of the lower bottom section 11. The erroneous storage prevention section 15 is provided with a peripheral wall section 16 that extends upward from the inner peripheral edge of the lower bottom section 11, and an abutment section 17 that is provided so as to close the space between the upper edges of the peripheral wall section 16. The abutment section 17 has a top section 18 (see FIG. 4) that is located at the uppermost position of the abutment section 17 and is provided at a position away from the center of the storage section 4 in a plan view, and is generally inclined downward from the end where the top section 18 is provided to the opposite end. Furthermore, the lower end of the inclined abutment section 17 is located on the opposite side of the top section 18 across the center of the storage section 4 in a plan view, and the abutment section 17 has a surface that is continuous from the top section 18 to the lower end. In this embodiment, almost the entire abutment section 17 (excluding the lower protrusion 25 described later) constitutes an inclined section. Furthermore, the top 18 of the mis-accommodation prevention section 15 is located below the upper bottom 13.

The outer diameter of the erroneous storage prevention part 15 (contact part 17) is configured to be smaller than the inner diameter of the first cylindrical part 33. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, when an article 31 in a correct position is stored in the storage part 4, the erroneous storage prevention part 15 is inserted into the space part 35 (inside the first cylindrical part 33) through the opening 36. On the other hand, the outer diameter of the erroneous storage prevention part 15 (contact part 17) is configured to be larger than the outer diameter of the second cylindrical part 34. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, when an article 31 in a position in which the article 31 in a correct position is rotated 180 degrees up and down (hereinafter referred to as "incorrect position") is stored in the storage part 4, the erroneous storage prevention part 15 contacts the second cylindrical part 34 of the article 31 at the contact part 17. At this time, since the abutment portion 17 is inclined relative to the lower bottom portion 11, etc., the erroneous storage prevention portion 15 (abutment portion 17) supports the item 31 in an inclined position such that the height direction (central axis direction) of the incorrectly oriented item 31 is inclined relative to the height direction (central axis direction) of the item 31 when the item 31 is stored in the storage portion 4 in the correct position (see storage portion 4Y in FIG. 1). In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the height direction of the inclined item 31 relative to the height direction of the item 31 in the correct position (approximately vertical in this example) is configured to be approximately 8 degrees. Also, in this embodiment, the abutment portions 17 of all storage portions 4 are inclined in the same direction.

The shape of the storage unit 4 in a plan view is formed to match the outer shape of the item 31 stored in the storage unit 4 in the correct position. That is, in this embodiment, the shape of the storage unit 4 in a plan view is a circle that is one size larger than the base 32 of the item 31, and it is clear that when the item 31 in the correct position is rotated 90 degrees around a predetermined axis extending in the horizontal direction, the position of the item 31 does not match the position of the storage unit 4. For this reason, the "incorrect position" of the item 31 in this embodiment basically refers to a position in which the item 31 in the correct position is rotated 180 degrees up and down (upside down).

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, in this embodiment, when the item 31 is stored in the storage section 4 in an incorrect position, the upper wall portion 14 is configured to abut against the upper portion of the side of the item 31 in an inclined position, thereby restricting displacement toward the outer periphery of the storage section 4. In this embodiment, the upper wall portion 14 constitutes the restricting portion. In addition, the upper wall portion 14 extends upward from the upper bottom portion 13, at a slight incline toward the outer periphery of the storage section 4.

In addition, the storage section 4 is provided with an interference avoidance section 19 capable of accommodating a part of the underside (a part that is visible when viewed from below) of the article 31 when the article 31 is in an inclined position and in contact with the upper wall section 14 (a state in which displacement is restricted by the upper wall section 14). In this embodiment, the interference avoidance section 19 is configured by lowering the outer peripheral part of the upper bottom section 13 by one step, and when the article 31 is in an inclined position and in contact with the upper wall section 14, the edge of the underside (backside) of the base section 32 is accommodated in the interference avoidance section 19. Note that, as shown in FIG. 7, the article 31 accommodated in the storage section 4 in the normal position is not accommodated in the interference avoidance section 19, and the edge of the underside (front side) of the base section 32 is positioned above the interference avoidance section 19. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, when the article 31 is in an inclined position and its displacement is restricted by the upper wall portion 14, the lower edge of the second cylindrical portion 34 is located within a range above the abutment portion 17 (it does not protrude outward beyond the outer periphery of the abutment portion 17).

10, the tray 1 is provided with a positioning recess 21 provided on the underside of each storage section 4. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, etc., the tray 1 is provided with a positioning protrusion 22 provided between the storage sections 4, protruding upward, and having a substantially disk-like shape with a flat upper surface (a substantially cylindrical shape with a low height and a closed upper side). As shown in FIG. 2, etc., the lower bottom 11 of the storage section 4 of this embodiment is provided with a support section 23 that abuts against and supports the lower edge of the first cylindrical section 33 of the item 31 stored in the storage section 4 in the correct posture, and a bulging section 24 that bulges downward from the support section 23, and the support section 23 extends in all directions from the interference avoidance section 19 in a plan view and is connected to the lower wall section 12, and the area between the support sections 23 is the bulging section 24. Due to the configuration of the lower bottom 11, as shown in FIG. 10, the area surrounded by the four substantially arc-shaped bulging sections 24 on the underside of the lower bottom 11 is the positioning recess 21. When the upper tray 1 is placed in a position rotated 180 degrees horizontally relative to the lower tray 1 as shown in FIG. 9, the positioning protrusions 22 of the lower tray 1 are positioned inside the positioning recesses 21 of the upper tray 1 as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, resulting in a stacked state in which misalignment of the upper and lower trays 1 in the horizontal direction is restricted.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11 etc., the tray 1 has a lower protrusion 25 that protrudes downward from the abutment portion 17 (inclined portion) and can abut against the upper surface side of the positioning protrusion 22 of the lower tray 1 when stacked. The lower protrusion 25 is configured by forming a circular, bottomed recess with a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the second cylindrical portion 34 in a plan view in an area including the center of the abutment portion 17, and the lower surface that abuts against the upper surface of the positioning protrusion 22 extends in an approximately horizontal direction so as to be approximately parallel to the upper surface of the positioning protrusion 22.

In this embodiment, when the tray 1 is placed on a placement surface such as a floor, the lower surface of the bulge 24 is supported by contacting the placement surface. Even when the trays 1 are stacked, the lower surface of the bulge 24 of the upper tray 1 is supported by contacting the upper surface of the base 2 of the lower tray 1. In addition, the range from at least the portion of the lower wall 12 connected to the support portion 23 to the upper edge of the lower wall 12 is a portion that is partially widened toward the outer periphery of the storage section 4, and this portion is prevented from contacting the first cylindrical portion 33 of the item 31 stored in the storage section 4 in the correct position.

As described above in detail, according to this embodiment, when the item 31 is stored in the storage section 4 in an incorrect position, the incorrectly oriented item 31 is supported in an inclined position (the height direction of the item 31 stored in the incorrect position is inclined relative to the height direction of the item 31 stored in the correct position, which in this example is approximately vertical). This makes it easier for the worker to recognize that the item 31 is stored in an incorrect position. This prevents the storage state of the item 31 from becoming unstable due to the item 31 being stored in an incorrect position, and the item 31 from being displaced and damaged when the tray 1 is transported, or the item 31 stored in the incorrect position or the tray 1 from being damaged when the trays 1 containing the item 31 are stacked, or the stacked trays 1 from being tilted.

In addition, the contact portion 17 of the erroneous storage prevention portion 15, which can contact the item 31 stored in the storage portion 4 in an incorrect position, has the top portion 18 located at the top of the contact portion 17, which is located away from the center of the storage portion 4 in a plan view. Therefore, when the item 31 is stored in the storage portion 4 in an incorrect position, the item 31 can be tilted in a predetermined direction rather than randomly. This makes it easier for the worker to recognize that the item 31 is stored in an incorrect position, and makes it possible to prevent the item 31 in an inclined position from tilting in the direction that is not desired.

Furthermore, the abutment portion 17 of the erroneous storage prevention portion 15 is inclined downward from the end where the top 18 is provided toward the opposite end, and the lower end of the abutment portion 17 is located on the opposite side of the top 18 across the center of the storage portion 4 in a plan view. This allows the erroneous storage prevention portion 15 to more stably support the inclined article 31. Also, the inclined article 31 can be guided relatively stably toward the downstream side of the abutment portion 17 until the upper side of the article 31 abuts against the upper wall portion 14 and further displacement is restricted.

In addition, the storage section 4 is provided with an interference avoidance section 19 that can accommodate a part of the lower surface of the article 31 (in this example, the base section 32) when the article 31 is in an inclined position and the upper side of the article 31 is in contact with the upper wall section 14. Therefore, when the article 31 is stored in an incorrect position and in an inclined position (displaced downward as guided by the inclined contact section 17), it is possible to avoid contact between the edge of the lower surface of the article 31 (base section 32) and the bottom section (upper bottom section 13) of the storage section 4, and to prevent the upper bottom section 13 from being scraped off and adhering to the article 31 due to the contact. The upper wall section 14 that constitutes the restricting section extends upward and toward the outer periphery of the storage section 4 at an incline. Therefore, it is possible to further prevent the upper wall section 14 from being scraped off when the upper wall section 14 comes into contact with the inclined article 31.

The tray 1 also has a positioning recess 21 provided on the underside of the storage section 4 and a positioning protrusion 22 provided between the storage sections 4 and protruding upward. When the trays 1 are stacked, the positioning protrusion 22 of the lower tray 1 is located inside the positioning recess 21 of the upper tray 1. Furthermore, the tray 1 has a lower protrusion 25 that protrudes downward from the abutment section 17 and can abut the upper surface side of the positioning protrusion 22 of the lower tray 1 in the stacked state. Therefore, when the tray 1 is placed above the tray 1 that contains the item 31 and the item 31 is stored in the upper tray 1, it is possible to prevent the erroneous storage prevention section 15 (abutment section 17) from being deformed downward by the item 31 when the item 31 is stored in an incorrect position. Therefore, the shape of the erroneous storage prevention section 15 is protected, and the erroneous storage prevention section 15 more reliably achieves the effect of tilting the item 31 stored in an incorrect position.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be implemented as follows. Of course, other applications and modifications not exemplified below are also possible.

(a) In the above embodiment, the number of storage sections 4 and the arrangement of the storage sections 4 are not particularly limited, and for example, the number of storage sections 4 may be seven or more, or five or less. Furthermore, the article to be stored in the tray 1 may have a shape including a base portion and a cylindrical portion protruding from the base portion, and can be embodied as a tray for storing the article. For example, it is also possible to have a shape in which the second cylindrical portion 34 of the above embodiment is omitted. Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 13 , in a storage section 41 capable of storing an item 51 having a disk-shaped base portion 52 and a cylindrical tubular portion 53 protruding from the outer periphery of the base portion 52 and opening on the opposite side to the base portion 52, if the item 51 is stored in the storage section 41 in an incorrect position (a position in which the tubular portion 53 opens upward) and is supported in an inclined position by the erroneous storage prevention section 42, and the upper part of the side of the item 51 abuts against a wall portion 44 extending upward from the outer periphery of the bottom 43 of the storage section 41, thereby restricting further displacement, an interference avoidance section 45 capable of storing the edge of the underside (base portion 52) of the item 51 may be provided (between the support sections 46 of the bottom 43 that support the item 51 in the correct position) (so that the item 51 in the inclined position does not come into contact with the support sections 46). In the above embodiment, for example, if the diameter of the second cylindrical portion 34 is made larger or the upper wall portion 14 is positioned closer to the outer periphery of the storage portion 4, and the second cylindrical portion 34 protrudes further outward from the outer periphery of the storage portion 4 than the outer periphery of the abutment portion 17 when the article 31 is in an inclined position and in a state in which the article 31 is in contact with the upper wall portion 14 and displacement is restricted, it is desirable to provide an interference avoidance portion 19 on the lower bottom portion 11 to avoid contact between the second cylindrical portion 34 and the lower bottom portion 11. In addition, the interference avoidance portion 19 can be formed by a hole rather than a recess.

The inclination angle of the height direction of the article 31 in an inclined position relative to the height direction of the article 31 in the correct position may be set within a range of, for example, 3 degrees to 45 degrees. From the viewpoint of preventing the article 31 from being forcefully displaced in a predetermined direction by the erroneous storage prevention section 15 (the inclination of the abutment section 17) when the article 31 is stored in the storage section 4 in an incorrect position, it is desirable for the inclination angle to be as small as possible (for example, 15 degrees or less), and from the viewpoint of making it easy to recognize that the article 31 is stored in the storage section 4 in an incorrect position, it is desirable for the inclination angle to not be too small (for example, 5 degrees or more).

(b) In the above embodiment, the shape of the erroneous storage prevention section 15 is not particularly limited, and for example, the erroneous storage section 4 may be formed by a protrusion that protrudes upward from the inner periphery of the lower bottom section 11 and from a position away from the center of the storage section 4. In the above embodiment, the inclined articles 31 are configured to tilt in the same direction regardless of which storage section 4 stores the article 31 in the incorrect position, but they may also be configured to tilt in different directions. Furthermore, the shape of the upper wall section 14 (regulation section) may be configured so that it cannot come into contact with the upper side of the article 31 when it is tilted in a direction different from the inclined article 31.

(c) In the above embodiment, the tray 1 is made of polyethylene, but it may be made of other resin materials such as polypropylene, PET, polyamide, other polyolefins, etc. Also, in the above embodiment, the tray 1 is made by vacuum molding, but it may be formed by other methods such as compression molding or injection molding.
