Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transport pallet, and more particularly to a transport pallet which is disposed below a transported object and functions as a base during transport.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in the printing industry, printing paper is sold and used on the basis of a size (939.times.636 mm) generally known as a chrysanthemum. Also, depending on the specifications of the printing machine, half the size of the chrysanthemum
468mm) chrysanthemum half size printing paper is used.

A large number of printing papers (for example, 30000)
Sheets) are delivered to the printing site in a stacked state. At the printing site, the printing paper is mounted on the printing apparatus and printed in this stacked state. Therefore, it is necessary to convey the delivered printing paper to the printing apparatus, but usually a hand lifter is used for conveying the printing paper. FIG. 7 shows a hand truck 44 used for conveying printing paper. Further, in the same figure, reference numeral 42 denotes a printing paper.

The hand track 44 has an arm 46. The arm 46 is positioned below the printing paper 42, and is moved upward to carry the paper. At this time, if the printing paper 42 is directly placed on the arm 46, the printing paper 42 may be damaged. Therefore, a transport tool usually called a pallet 40 is used.

[0005] The printing paper 42 is delivered while being placed on the pallet 40. Then, in order to convey the printing paper 42 to the printing apparatus, the arm 46 of the hand truck 44 is inserted and mounted on an arm mounting portion 48 formed on the pallet 40, and the arm 46 is moved upward thereon. As a result, the pallet 40 floats on the floor surface, and the printing paper 42 also moves upward accordingly, so that the pallet 40 can be conveyed by the rollers 50 provided on the hand truck 44.

[0006]

As described above, there are two main sizes of the printing paper 42: a chrysanthemum full size and a half size chrysanthemum half. Also,
The printing apparatus is configured to be capable of selectively mounting a chrysanthemum print sheet and a chrysanthemum half print sheet. However, the form of the printing paper 42 normally delivered is all unified to Kikuzen format. Therefore, when the printing paper 42 is the size of the chrysanthemum half-cut, two sets of these are arranged in the size of the chrysanthemum full size and delivered. That is being done. For this reason, only the pallets 40 on which the printing papers 42 are mounted correspond to the size of the chrysanthemum, and there is no pallet for distribution corresponding to the size of the chrysanthemum half.

Accordingly, in the case of the chrysanthemum full-size printing paper 42, the chrysanthemum full-size pallet 40 is used for the printing paper 42.
Can be mounted directly on the printing device. However, when the chrysanthemum half-printed printing paper 42 is mounted on the printing apparatus, two sets of the chrysanthemum half-printed printing paper 42 are arranged on the pallet 40.
Is conveyed to the vicinity of the printing apparatus by the hand truck 44 or the like, first, a pair of chrysanthemum half-printed printing papers 42 are first manually removed from the pallet 40 and mounted on the printing apparatus. Conventionally, the printing paper 42 has been manually removed and mounted on a printing apparatus.

For this reason, the operation of transporting and mounting the printing paper 42 of chrysanthemum half-size using the pallet 40 of the conventional configuration is
There was a problem that it was very troublesome and inefficient. There is also a problem that it is not possible to easily cope with printing papers 42 having various sizes. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a transport pallet capable of improving mounting efficiency of a transported object and easily coping with various transported objects.

Subsequently, the transport pallet 1 constructed as described above.
A description will be given of a process of transporting printing paper using 0. still,
In the following description, an example in which chrysanthemum half-printed printing paper is set in a printing apparatus will be described. As described above, the form of the printing paper delivered to the printing site is all unified to the chrysanthemum half-size. Therefore, when using the chrysanthemum half-printing paper as in the present embodiment, a bundle of the chrysanthemum half-printing paper is used. Are delivered after being arranged in two sets and the size of a chrysanthemum. The delivered printing paper is placed on the transport pallet 10.

At this time, the transport pallet 10 is in a state shown in FIG. That is, two separation pallets 14
A and 14B are both mounted on the common base 12. In this mounted state, the separation pallets 14A, 1A
Each leg member 26 formed in 4B is configured to be inserted and mounted in a leg member mounting space 38 formed in the common base 12. Further, the mounting table 24 is engaged (contacted) with the holding member 20, whereby the separation pallets 14 are
A and 14B are configured to be held on the holding member 20.

As described above, the separation pallets 14A and 14B
To attach to the common base 12, simply use the separation pallet 1
It is only necessary to insert and mount the 4A, 14B from the upper part of the common base 12 at the above-mentioned predetermined position. Therefore, the process of mounting the separation pallets 14A and 14B to the common base 12 can be easily performed. Separation pallets 14A and 14B mounted on the common base 12 are positioned above (in the figure, arrow Z1).
Direction), the common base 12 can be easily moved.
Separate from That is, the transport pallet 1 according to the present embodiment.
0, each of the separation pallets 14A and 14B has the common base 1
2 can be attached and detached.

Further, in a state where the delivered printing paper is placed on the transport pallet 10, one of the printing papers of the chrysanthemum half is placed on the separation pallet 14A, and the other printing paper of the chrysanthemum half is placed on the separation pallet 14B. Is placed. However,
As shown in FIG. 6, the printing paper is transferred to the transport pallet 10.
Since the separation pallets 14A and 14B are both mounted on the common base 12, the separation pallets 14A and 14B are stored in the form of a chrysanthemum sheet (that is, a state in which two bundles of chrysanthemum half-printed paper are put together). Printing paper can be collectively placed on the transport pallet 10.

The transport pallet 10 on which the printing paper is loaded as described above is transported in the form of a chrysanthemum sheet up to a position near the printing apparatus (that is, a bundle of two chrysanthemum half-size printing papers is collectively collected). Transported). For this transfer, a transfer jig 2
8B is used. The transport jig 28B is, for example, a forklift or a hand truck, and has a pair of arms 30B branched in a forked shape as shown in FIG.

As described above, in the case where a bundle of two chrysanthemum half-printed sheets is conveyed at a time, the arm 30B is moved with respect to the conveying pallet 10 in the direction of arrow Y1 or Y2 in FIG. (Example is shown). Specifically, the arm 30B is inserted and mounted in the base-side mounting portion 34. Subsequently, the transport jig 28B is driven to move the arm 3
OB is moved upward (moved in the direction of arrow Z1). As described above, the common base 12 is provided with the three holding members 20 extending in the directions of the arrows X1 and X2. And
When the arm 30B moves upward, the arm 30B engages with the holding member 20. Further, as described above, the separation pallets 14A and 14B are both held by being placed on the holding member 20.

Therefore, when the arm 30B is moved upward, the separation pallets 14A and 14B and the common base 12 are both moved upward, whereby the printing paper (two chrysanthemum printing papers) placed on the separation pallets 14A and 14B is moved. ) Can be collectively transported to a position near the printing apparatus. Further, in the present embodiment, each separation pallet 14A, 14A
Since the holding member 20 that holds B also functions as an engaging member that engages with the arm 30B only when the holding member 20 is mounted from the direction of the arrow Y1 (or the direction of the arrow Y2), an engaging member is provided separately from the holding member 20. Transport pallet 1 compared to the configuration
0 can be simplified.

Further, when the common base 12 provided with the positioning recess 22 shown in FIG. 2 is used, the mounting table of the leg member 26 is mounted in a state where the separation pallets 14A and 14B are mounted on the common base 12. A joint portion 24 (indicated by reference numeral 25 in FIG. 4B) engages with the positioning recess 22. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the separation pallets 14A and 14B from being displaced with respect to the common base 12 at the time of conveyance, and even if the separation pallets 14A and 14B can be attached to and detached from the common base 12, the separation pallets 14A and 14B can be attached and detached. Separation pallets 14A and 14B can be securely held.

On the other hand, the present embodiment is directed to a printing apparatus using chrysanthemum half-cut printing paper. Therefore, when printing paper is mounted on the printing apparatus, the printing of two chrysanthemum half-cut papers conveyed in the form of chrysanthemum is performed. It becomes necessary to separate the bundle of sheets and transport and load each of them individually to the printing device. For this transfer, a transfer jig 28A is used as shown in FIG. The transport jig 28A is, for example, a hand truck or the like and has a pair of arms 30A branched in a forked shape. As described above, when only one of the two bundles of printing paper of the half chrysanthemum is conveyed, the arm 30A is different from the insertion direction of the conveyance jig 28B described with reference to FIG. It is mounted in the direction, that is, in the direction of the arrow X1 or X2 in the figure (FIG. 1 shows an example of the direction X1).

Specifically, the arm 30A is inserted and mounted in the pallet-side mounting section 36. At this time, the arm 30A
It is configured to be inserted into only one separation pallet (in the example shown in FIG. 1, only the separation pallet 14A). Subsequently, the transport jig 28A is driven to move the arm 30A upward (moved in the arrow Z1 direction). As mentioned above,
The separation pallets 14A and 14B are configured to be detachably held by being mounted on three holding members 20 extending in the directions of the arrows X1 and X2. Therefore, arm 3
When 0A is inserted in the arrow X1 direction (or X2 direction), the arm 30A does not engage with the holding member 20.

Therefore, when the arm 30A is moved upward, the upward power is applied only to the separation pallet 14A, and the separation pallet 14A is separated from the common base 12 as shown in FIG. As a result, the separation pallet 14A on which only one bundle of chrysanthemum half-printed paper is placed can be independently transported, and the chrysanthemum half-cut print paper can be mounted on the printing apparatus. In addition, arm 30A
Is inserted into the transport pallet 10 in the direction indicated by the arrow X2 in the drawing, and the same transport processing can be performed on the separation pallet 14B.

As described above, according to the transport pallet 10 of this embodiment, the transport jig 28B is connected to the transport pallet 1
The common base 12 is transported while maintaining a state in which the plurality of separation pallets 14A and 14B are held by mounting the common pallets 14 in the direction of arrow Y1 or Y2 (one direction).
Plural separation pallets 1 on which printing paper (conveyance) is mounted
4A and 14B can be transported collectively.

By mounting the transfer jig 28A on the transfer pallet 10 from a direction different from the one direction (the direction of arrow X1 or X2), the separation pallets 14A, 1
4B is separated from the common base 12, and separated pallets 14A
Alternatively, the sheet is transported only by the separation pallet 14B. In this manner, the transfer jig 28A for the transfer pallet 10 is simply used.
Only by changing the mounting direction of 28B, it is possible to select a mode in which the plurality of separation pallets 14A and 14B are transported collectively or a mode in which the separation pallets 14A and 14B are individually transported, thereby increasing the degree of freedom in the transport mode. In addition, it is possible to eliminate the need for a conventional transshipment process (a process of mounting a chrysanthemum half-printed printing sheet placed on a chrysanthemum pallet on a printing apparatus), which is conventionally required, thereby improving work efficiency. .

In the description of the above-described embodiment, printing paper is taken as an example of a conveyed object placed on the conveying pallet 10. However, the conveyed object is not limited to printing paper. The present invention can be applied to various types of conveyed objects conveyed using pallets. Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which only two separation pallets are used has been described. However, the number of separation pallets mounted on the common base is not limited to two, and three or more separation pallets may be mounted. It is possible.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the plurality of separation pallets are conveyed collectively or individually according to the insertion direction of the jig by the common base. By providing a joint mechanism for changing the lock state according to the insertion direction of the jig at the position facing each separation pallet, the same effect as in the above-described embodiment can be realized.

[0037]

According to the present invention as described above, the following various effects can be realized. According to the first and second aspects of the present invention, it is possible to select a mode in which a plurality of separation pallets are collectively conveyed and a mode in which a plurality of separation pallets are individually conveyed only by changing the mounting direction of the jig. The degree of freedom in the transport mode can be increased.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the structure of the common base can be simplified by integrating the holding member and the engaging member. Furthermore, according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, even when the separation pallet is configured to be detachable from the common base, the separation pallet in the mounted state can be reliably held at a predetermined position.
