Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to an assembly type flow rack.

(Prior Art) A conventional assembly type flow rack is shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. In the figure, a pair of opposing rectangular outer frames 7, 7 of the same shape are assembled into a cube shape by four assembly members 8, 8 to form a rack body 10. A large number of assembly holes 16 are provided at a constant pitch in the supporting columns 7a, 7a and 7b, 7b of the outer frames 7, 7, which are opposed to each other. Subframes 19, 20, 21, and 22 are mounted. Since the support members 17 and 18 have different heights, in FIG. 8, the subframes 19, 20, and 21 are tilted downward toward the left and right, and the subframe 22 is tilted downward toward the right. subframe 19
- 22 all protrude from the pillars 7a and 7b, and have protruding parts 19a, 19b, 20a, 20b, respectively.
21a, 21b, 22a, and 22b are formed. Lower protrusions 19a, 20a, 21a, 2
Stoppers 23, 24, 2 are provided at the ends of 2b, respectively.
5 and 26 are provided. Each subframe 19
- 22 are provided with a conveyance line 28 consisting of multiple rows of rollers 27. Component boxes 29, 30, 31 are automatically transported on this transport line 28 due to their weight, and are stopped by stoppers 23, 24, 25. The operator takes out the required parts from the locked parts box.

The above-mentioned prefabricated flow rack has the following drawbacks.

(1) Part shape and parts storage box (hereinafter referred to as packaging form)
Due to this, there is a limit to the transport capacity.

(2) Since parts boxes for multiple car types and types are mixed and transported on each transport line, it takes a lot of man-hours to select parts from the parts boxes that are stopped at the end of the line, and there is a risk of damaging the parts. There is.

(3) When selecting parts from the parts box mentioned above, there is a risk of selecting the wrong part.

(4) Since the protrusions 19a, 20a, and 21a protrude as they are, it is inconvenient to remove the parts.

In addition, Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-175343 and Figure 1 show a floating panel in which the floating panel is divided into a front half and a back half, and the first half is attached so that it can swing up and down. . This floating panel is an improvement on some of the drawbacks pointed out above, but when selecting parts from the parts box at the end of the floating panel, the lighting under the ceiling alone is not enough to make it difficult for each lower row except the top row. The illuminance of the floating panel is insufficient due to the floating panel directly above it, and there is a risk of selecting the wrong part or damaging other parts.

(Purpose of the invention) The object of this invention is to provide an assembly-type flow rack that does not have the above-mentioned drawbacks of the risk of incorrectly taking out parts or damaging the parts during the work of taking out parts.

(Structure of the invention) In order to achieve the above object, this invention includes a rack main body formed by a pair of opposing rectangular outer frames of the same shape and an assembly member connecting the outer frames;
This rack consists of a rectangular floating panel disposed inside the main body, and the floating panel is divided into a front half and a rear half, and the first half is attached to the front end of the second half so that it can swing vertically. , and has a configuration in which a lighting fixture is attached to the back of the stopper provided in the front half, and the gist is that a hanging metal fitting is attached to the side of the floating panel in addition to the above configuration. .

(Description of Embodiments) FIGS. 1 to 7 show positional embodiments of this invention. The floating panel 1 shown in FIG.
Each subframe shown in the figure, for example subframe 19
The width can be set to any width such as 250m/m, 300m/m,
It corresponds to a modularized panel with a width of 350 m/m and 400 m/m, and consists of a first half 1A and a second half 1B. In this case, if a width of 600 m/m is required, two panels of 300 m/m may be used together. The first half 1A is the second half 1 at the rear end.
It is connected to the front end of B via a flexible attachment (not shown) so that it can swing. However, the attachment is provided with a stopper to prevent it from swinging beyond a certain angle.
The first half 1A is modular in length and width. Modularized first half 1A and second half 1B
The width is the same. The rear part 1B has three edges except for its front end reinforced with a reinforcing outer edge 11, and has two conveyor lines 6 including bottom parts 3, 5, beats 12, 15, and rollers 6A, as shown in FIG. ing. The conveyance line 6 may have two or more lines. The cross-sectional shape of the first half 1A generally does not have the line 6 with the cross-sectional shape of the second half 1B.

The front end of the first half 1A serves as a stopper and parts display section 4.
As shown in FIG. 3, a lighting fixture 42 is attached to the back side of the stopper/component display section 4, and a lead wire 43 of the lighting fixture is provided. The light of this lighting fixture 42 illuminates the lower floating panel 1 on which the lighting fixture is installed, so when taking out parts from the parts box 29 on the front half 1A of the floating panel 1. There is no risk of accidentally taking out other parts, and the risk of damage due to interference between parts is significantly eliminated. A protective cover 42 for the lighting equipment is installed to prevent damage to the lighting equipment.

Furthermore, since the floating panel 1 is modularized, its width is smaller than that of the conventional subframe 19. Therefore, conventionally, the subframe 19 was made of steel for strength reasons, but the floating panel 1 can now be made of reinforced plastic, which eliminates the risk of damaging the parts at the corners 9 when mounting the parts on the floating panel 1. becomes less. If there is a problem in terms of strength when using reinforced plastic, a steel reinforcing member 12 may be used for the reinforcing outer edge 11 as shown in FIG.

5 and 6 show a case where the floating panel 1 is suspended from the assembly member 8 via the hanging fittings 13 in order to effectively utilize the space of the rack body 10. Even with this arrangement of the floating panel 1, the parts box located directly below is illuminated by the lighting fixture 41 attached to the back side of the stopper 4 provided in the front half of the floating panel 1, so that the parts can be easily placed. This prevents the possibility of accidentally taking out other parts or damaging other parts when taking out the parts. Arrows P-1 and P-3 in FIG. 6 indicate that the parts are to be taken out in the upward direction (arrow) from the parts box on each floating panel 1, and P-2 indicates that the parts are to be taken out in the forward direction. . 14 is a hanging fitting 13
This is a bolt for mounting.

In the above configuration, the front half 1A of the floating panel 1 swings downward relative to the rear half 1B, making it very easy to take out parts from the front half 1A. There is also less fear of removal of parts and damage to parts.

(Effects of the invention) Since this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it has the following excellent effects.

(1) Compared to the conventional rack body with the same volume, many car models,
The ability to transport parts for multi-vehicle vehicles is increased.

(2) Parts removal work becomes easier.

(3) When taking out parts, there is less risk of taking out incorrect parts and damage to parts.
