Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (1) Purpose of the invention Industrial application field The box according to the invention is mainly a cardboard box for transportation between factories, and in particular, robots are used to take out the contents from the box. so that automation can be measured.
It is equipped with an inner body that forms a gap between the contents and the box for the robot's hand to fit into.

Conventional technology Corrugated cardboard boxes that are commonly used for transportation are simply assembled and formed from cardboard, and the contents are inevitably filled to the brim, and the contents cannot be removed. I used to do it by hand.

Problems that the invention aims to solve Until recently, there were no problems with the conventional boxes mentioned above, but now that the trend of automation using robots is rapidly progressing, it has become a big problem. It changed into something. The problem is that there is almost no gap between the box and the contents, so it is impossible to insert the robot hand to take out the contents, and it is impossible to put it on an automated line. The problem is that the contents may be damaged, or if there are many contents, they may spill out.

Therefore, the present invention provides a box that is equipped with an inner body that forms a gap between the box and the contents in addition to the conventional box, so that the work of removing the contents can be automatically handled by a robot. It is something.

() Structure of the invention Means for solving the problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention consists of a left and right side plate and a bottom plate inside a normally used box, which can be bent freely and has a concave cross-section when in use. I installed the interior body. In addition, this interior body is further equipped with gap forming members having a certain thickness on both sides of the outer surfaces of the left and right side plates to create a gap between them and the box, and furthermore, a robot hand is attached to the upper part between the gap forming members on the left and right side plates. A notch is provided for holding things.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be explained in detail below according to the drawings. This example is a box for storing a carton that has been pasted at the factory as content C and transporting it to the next filling factory.

A lid member 1, side members 2, and bottom member 3 made of corrugated cardboard are assembled and molded to form a box A. Next, left and right side plates 11 and 12 are connected to each other in the box A via the rectangular bottom plate 10 via the fold lines l and l', and further, the left and right side plates 11 and 12 are arranged in a concave shape in cross section via the fold lines l and l'. Attach the folded interior body B. The left and right side plates 11 and 12 of the interior body B have inverted convex notches 13 and 14 with wide upper edges at the center edges, and are square prisms made of foamed polyethylene on both edges of the outer surface,
It consists of gap molding members 15, 15, 16, and 16 with a certain thickness (approximately 1 to 3 cm).

Here, the only requirement for the gap forming members 15 and 16 is that they have a certain thickness or more.
Considering the weight and the cushioning effect, a foamed molded product such as the above example is preferable. In addition, the horizontal length of the bottom plate is set to be approximately equal to the inner diameter of the box in addition to the thickness of the gap forming members on both sides, while the vertical length is set depending on the contents, and in some cases, the inside diameter of the bottom plate is set approximately equal to the inner diameter of the box. A plurality of pieces may be mounted in parallel with or without the partition 20 interposed therebetween.

Furthermore, the shape of the notch provided in the interior body may be a simple rectangular shape other than the above embodiment, but by making it into an inverted convex shape as in the above embodiment,
The upper edge of the notch is wide enough to allow the robot's hand to be inserted without hitting the top edge of the side plate, and the lower edge of the notch is narrow so that the central part of the carton, which is the contents, is pushed outward through the notch and curls. There is no fear of it happening.

Next, to explain how to use the present invention, the gap forming members 15, 16 are placed inside the box A with the lid member open.
The inner body B is in contact with the side members of the box 1.
After the carton formed by the pasting machine is stored on the inner body B, the lid member 1 is closed. Then, the carton is transported to the next step, a filling factory, and after the lid member is opened, the hand portion of the carton removal robot attached to the automatic filling machine is inserted into the space created by the gap forming members 15 and 16. The carton is clamped from both sides through the notches 13 and 14 in the left and right side plates 11 and 12 and fed to an automatic filling machine.

Effects As mentioned above, the present invention is fully compatible with robots for removing contents used in automatic filling machines, etc., and can take out all the contents at once without damaging them or spilling them. Masu. What's more, the interior body created to achieve this effect can be made with an extremely simple structure, simply by folding a cardboard board with notches on both sides to form a concave cross section, and attaching a gap-forming material such as foamed polyethylene.
