Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a packaging device for a kerosene stove, and in particular, a packaging device for a kerosene heater that retains a combustion cylinder that is removably installed in the body of the kerosene heater during transportation or the like. This relates to a packaging device for kerosene stoves for storage.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Conventionally, various packaging devices have been proposed to protect combustion tubes during transportation.
An example is also disclosed in No. 46305.

With conventional packaging equipment, the combustion tube is not moved laterally from its installed position within the main body, but rather, the installation position and the center of the combustion tube are aligned, the cylinder is lifted slightly upwards, and the bottom of the combustion tube is first filled with foam, etc. A protective material made of an elastic material is inserted, and a combustion cylinder is placed on top of it. Thereafter, the combustion tube is surrounded by a packaging material made of cardboard or the like, and the packaging material is fixed between the lower protective material and the ceiling of the main body, or the method disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-46305 A method was adopted in which a cylindrical packaging member was inserted and fixed between the top plate and the upper part of the combustion cylinder.

In such conventional fixing methods, when the combustion tube is assembled into the main body and packaged, separate packaging members or protective materials are attached to the upper and lower parts of the cylinder and fixed in relation to the surrounding components inside the main body. This requires a large number of man-hours, and also requires positional adjustment, making it impossible to carry out packaging operations easily and quickly. On the other hand, there was also the problem that it was difficult to unpack due to the complicated packaging.

Furthermore, in conventional packaging equipment, as mentioned above,
Since the combustion tube is fixed at the center of the installation position, sufficient space is required around and above the combustion tube to accommodate packaging members and the like. Therefore, for example, in the case of a stove with a structure in which components are specially arranged near the combustion tube at the rear of the main body, or a stove with a compact structure where the space between the surrounding area of the main body and the combustion tube as a whole is small, this is sufficient. If you don't have enough packaging space or
Even if they were packaged, there was a risk that they would collide with each other due to vibration during transportation, causing damage.
In particular, for example, in a stove that is equipped with a thermoelectric unit equipped with a thermoelectric element that serves as a driving power source for an indoor air circulation fan as a component placed at the rear of the main body, a structure in which the thermoelectric element is closely opposed to the upper end of the combustion cylinder is used. Moreover, with conventional packaging methods, there is a high risk of destroying thermoelectric elements during transportation, and improvements are expected.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention solves the various problems with the conventional packaging devices mentioned above, makes it easy to package the combustion tube and assemble it into the main body, and also allows for sufficient space between it and the rear of the main body in the packaged state. It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel packaging device for a kerosene stove that is easy to use and has a small number of parts for packaging.

[Summary of the idea]

The present invention basically consists of a storage section that stores the combustion tube as a whole when the combustion tube is removed from its installation position within the main body, and a hook provided in the storage section to hold the packaging tool. The combustion tube is held inside the main body by hooking the hooking part of the packaging to the front guard provided on the front side of the main body, thereby ensuring sufficient space between it and the rear of the main body. This is intended to avoid the risk of collision during transportation, improve the efficiency of packaging work, and simplify the structure of the packaging device.

[Example of idea]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figures 1 and 2 show the external appearance of the kerosene stove, where 1 is the main body forming the outer shell of the kerosene stove, 2 is a stand on which the main body 1 is placed, and 3 is the main body 1.
4 is a top plate provided on the ceiling 1a of the main body 1 and has a large number of exhaust ports 4a; 5 is a removably installed at a predetermined position in the main body 1; The combustion tube 6 is a thermoelectric unit provided at the rear of the main body 1 and forming a driving power source for an indoor air circulation fan.

As can be seen in FIG. 3, a fire pan 7 is provided in the lower part of the interior of the main body 1 and constitutes a mounting base for the combustion tube 5 placed at the installation position shown by the chain line. A reflector plate 8 that radiates is arranged,
A thermoelectric element 9 of the thermoelectric unit 6 protrudes inward from the main body 1 through the reflecting plate 8 until it approaches the upper part of the combustion tube 5 at the installed position.

In a stove using such a reflector, combustion heat is transferred to the front guard 3 and the upper plate 4 on the front side of the stove, resulting in a high temperature. In particular, since hot air and combustion gas are discharged upward through the exhaust port 4a of the upper plate 4, the temperature rises strongly. ignites,
There is a risk of fire. In order to prevent this as much as possible, the stove of this embodiment has a top guard 10 formed by bending a single wire on the top surface of the top plate 4, as shown in FIGS. is arranged, and by the rising part of the guard 10,
It is designed so that an object that falls onto the upper plate 4 will not come into direct contact with the upper plate 4. Therefore, even if flammable items such as clothing fall onto the upper tray 4, because the upper surface guard 10 is present, it will form a tent-like shape between the guard 10 and the outer periphery of the upper surface of the main body, prolonging the time until it ignites. It also has the effect of preventing ignition.

The rear end portion 10a of the upper surface guard 10, which is bent into an abbreviated shape, is inserted into a common exhaust port 4a at the rear of the upper plate 4, and is fitted into the long end of the groove of the exhaust port. A pair of left and right key-shaped front end portions 10b, 10b of the guard 10 are inserted into corresponding exhaust ports 4a located at the frontmost portion of the upper plate 4, and are hooked to the inner edges of each exhaust port.

This upper surface guard 10, as shown in FIG. 4a,
When it is attached to the upper plate 4, it has an open shape as shown by the solid line, but when it is removed and is free, it has a shape that is slightly closed inward as shown by the chain line. Therefore, to attach the guard 10 to the upper plate, first insert the rear end 10a of the guard 10 into the rear exhaust port 4a, and then open the hook-shaped front ends 10b to the left and right against the spring force of the wire. The top guard 10 is securely installed on the top plate 4 without wobbling due to the biasing action of the wire spring in the installed state.
Furthermore, it can be removed when transporting the stove, reducing the packaging size (height).

Note that the height of the portion of the upper surface guard 10 that rises from the upper plate 4 is determined to be an appropriate design dimension depending on the amount of heat generated by the stove.

As shown in FIG. 2, the front guard 3 has a general structure, in which one end of each of a number of guard rods 3a that cover the opening and extend parallel to each other horizontally is fixed to a support rod 3b that constitutes a hinge. Both ends of the rod 3b are pivotally supported by the main body 1, and the other end of the rod 3a can be opened and closed. However, in addition to the guard 3 of this embodiment, various methods of supporting the guard are known, such as a structure in which the front guard is entirely removed from the main body 1 instead of a hinge structure.

In the kerosene stove with such a configuration, in the present invention, the combustion tube 5 is placed in the third position during transportation etc.
As shown in the figure, it is configured to be stored in a packaging tool A and held within the main body 1 while being hooked to a front guard 3. In such a holding state,
The combustion tube 5 is removed from the installation position shown by the chain line, and since the position is closer to the front guard 3 side, there is as much space between the packaging A and the components of the thermoelectric unit 6 at the rear of the main body 1 as possible. Can take up a large space.

The packaging tool A consists of a storage part 11 that completely wraps and stores the combustion tube 5 which has been removed from the installed position, and a hook part 12 provided in the storage part 11.
The specific structure is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

As shown in the developed view of FIG.
1a, 11b, 11c, and 11d, a top cover 11e, and a bottom cover 11f, and the hooking part 12 consists of a pair of hooking flaps 12a and 12b. When this corrugated paper is folded along the folding line as shown in FIG. 5, the storage section 11 forms a rectangular box shape, and the hooking section 12 protrudes from one side of the rectangular box shape. to do.

Note that FIG. 5 shows a state in the middle of assembly, and in the completed state, the flap 11g of the top cover 11e and the flap 11h of the bottom cover 11f are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the side wall 11d by adhesion or the like. Ru. A latching protrusion 11i is formed on the side wall 11a on the rear side of the storage part 1, and a latching hole 11j is formed in the side wall 11d correspondingly. 11i is inserted into the hole 11j to close the side wall 11a as shown in FIG.

Further, a slit 11k formed upward from the center of the lower end of the side wall 11a is for allowing the operating knob 5a of the combustion tube 5 to protrude, as shown in the stored state in FIG.

A latching groove 12c is formed in the latching flap 12a of the latching portion 12, and the other flap 12 is formed with a latching groove 12c.
A locking protrusion 12d is formed on b.

When assembling and fixing the combustion tube 5 into the main body 1 using the packaging device A having such a configuration, first, the combustion tube 5 is placed outside the main body in the storage section 11 of the assembled packaging device A.
The rear side wall 11a is opened and stored inside, and the side wall 11
Close a. After that, open the front guard 3, and from the back side or inside of the guard, hang the latching flaps 12a, 12b of the latching part 12 over the rod 3a of the guard 3, and attach both flaps 12a, 12b to the protrusion 12d on the front side of the guard. It is fixed to the guard 3 by interlocking the recesses 12c with each other. If the front guard 3 is closed in this state, the packaging A integrated with the guard 3 will be housed in the main body 1, and the combustion tube 5 will be sufficiently spaced from the rear of the main body as shown in FIG. Since it is held with a space, the packaging A is not attached to the thermoelectric unit 6 at the rear during transportation.
In particular, there is no fear that the thermoelectric element 9 of the unit will be hit and destroyed.

Furthermore, if the work of hooking the packaging A to the front guard 3 is performed with the guard 3 removed from the main body 1, the package that has been completely hooked to the guard can be assembled into the main body as one unit. . Therefore,
It is also possible to outsource only such work, for example, to further reduce work costs.

In any case, the packaging work can be done extremely easily and quickly since it can be done outside the main body of the stove.
Further, when opening the package, it is extremely simple, as it only requires two operations: removing the hooking part 12 from the front guard 3 and taking out the combustion tube 5 from the storage part 11.

Further, as in this embodiment, the packaging device can be constructed from a single piece of cardboard, so the number of parts can be reduced and it can be manufactured at low cost.

In the configuration of the packaging device shown in this embodiment, the storage section is box-shaped, but instead of this, it may be configured with a band of a constant width that supports the periphery of the combustion tube. Further, since the hooking portion may have any structure as long as it can be hooked on the front guard, various shapes other than the flap shape shown in the embodiment can be considered. Further, although it is desirable that the hooking part be constructed integrally with the storage part, it is also possible to construct the hooking part as separate members and to fix them together later.

Furthermore, other materials such as plastic can be used as the material for the packaging material other than cardboard.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, an aspect of the present invention was explained regarding a kerosene stove equipped with a thermoelectric unit.
Of course, the present invention can also be applied to oil stoves that do not have a thermoelectric unit.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, but includes various possible modifications.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, the combustion tube can be easily and quickly packaged, improving work efficiency and reducing work costs. Since sufficient space can be maintained between the main body and other components, especially the rear components, problems such as damage to the combustion tube and components can be solved, and furthermore,
It is possible to provide a packaging device that has a simple structure and can be manufactured at low cost, and has great effects.
