DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of a dust box wagon according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the dust box wagon, FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of a main part, and FIG.

In FIG. 1, a dust box wagon 1
(Hereinafter referred to as wagon 1) is a front and rear U-shaped frame 2
a, 2b and a plurality of horizontal frames 2c connecting the U-shaped frames 2a, 2b in the horizontal direction, and the like, and has a frame-shaped wagon frame 2 whose upper surface is open. U-shaped frame 2 of this wagon frame 2
At the lower ends of a and 2b, casters 3 rotatable 360 degrees in a horizontal plane are respectively mounted (total of four), and two dust boxes 4 having an upper surface lid 4a are freely inserted into and removed from the wagon frame 2, respectively. Set (arranged).

On the left and right sides of the wagon frame 2 on the bottom side, a rail-shaped guide 5 as a guide member is provided.
Are fixed respectively. The guide 5 is formed in a rod shape having a predetermined length from a resin or wood having a rectangular cross section.
The front and rear ends 5a and 5b are fixed to the left and right outer surfaces of the U-shaped frame 2a of the wagon frame 2 with screws (not shown) or the like, and the lower surface of the rear end 5b has an arc shape (see FIG. 2). Or a linear) inclined surface 6 is formed.
The guide 5 has a U-shaped frame 2 at its rear end 5b.
b protrudes rearward by a predetermined distance from the rear end surface.

On the other hand, the left and right side plates 8a, 8b of the cabinet 8 below the home appliance stocker 7 in which the wagon 1 is stored.
, A pair of rails 10 and 11 as a guide member are respectively fixed. The rails 10 and 11 are formed in a rod shape using substantially the same material as the guide 5, and an inclined surface 12 similar to the inclined surface 6 (see FIG. 2) is provided on the upper surface side of the front end 11 a of the lower rail 11. Are formed.

The rails 10 and 11 are fixed to the inner surfaces of the side plates 8a and 8b forming the accommodating portion 9 of the cabinet 8 by screws or an adhesive (not shown).
As shown in the figure, the distance w between the pair of upper and lower rails 10 and 11
Is set to be larger than the height dimension h of the guide 5 by a predetermined dimension. As shown in FIG. 3, the height H1 of the upper surface of the lower rail 11 with respect to the kitchen floor 13 is set to be larger than the height H2 between the lower surface of the guide 5 and the lower end of the caster 3 by a predetermined size. The width (external dimensions) of the pair of left and right guides 5 of the wagon frame 2 is set to be slightly smaller than the internal dimensions of the side plates 8 a and 8 b of the cabinet 8.

Next, the operation of taking the wagon 1 into and out of the storage section 9 of the cabinet 8 will be described. First, when the wagon 1 is completely pulled out from the storage section 9 as shown in FIG. 1, a predetermined dust box 4 can be taken out from the wagon frame 2 or set in the wagon frame 2. When the wagon 1 with the dust box 4 set on the wagon frame 2 is stored in the storage unit 9 of the cabinet 8, the wagon 1 is moved in the direction of the cabinet 8 using the rotation of the casters 3,
The rear end 5b of the guide 5 is located in front of the front end 11a of the rail 11 of the cabinet 8.

At this time, since the height dimension H2 of the guide 5 and the height dimension H1 of the rail 11 are set as described above, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG.
The tip of the inclined surface 6 of b is slightly placed on the tip of the inclined surface 12 of the front end 11a of the rail 11. In this state, when the upper part of the U-shaped frame 2a at the front of the wagon 1 is held by hand and pushed backward, the inclined surface 6 of the guide 5 is
While moving on the inclined surface 12 of FIG.

When the wagon 1 is further pushed in, the lower surface of the guide 5 is placed on the upper surface of the lower rail 11, and the wagon 1 slides to the storage position while being guided by the upper and lower rails 10, 11. At this time, Guide 5
The casters 3 of the wagon 1 gradually rise from the floor 13 of the kitchen due to the rearward movement along the rails 11, and the four casters 3 completely float from the floor 13 in the storage position of the wagon 1. State.

Thus, even when the weight of the two dust boxes 4 is unbalanced, the guide 5 of the wagon 1 moves smoothly along the rails 10 and 11 irrespective of the unbalance. 8a,
8b is prevented from being scratched on the inner surface.
Does not move on the floor 13, and the floor 13 can be prevented from being damaged by the casters 3.

When pulling out the wagon 1 from this storage position, the guide 5 of the wagon 1 is pulled out while being guided by the pair of rails 10 and 11 by pulling the U-shaped frame 2a forward. When the dust box 4 set in the wagon 1 has a sufficient storage capacity for dust, the upper and lower rails 10 and 11 prevent the wagon 1 from falling forward without completely pulling the wagon 1 out of the storage unit 9. At the same time, the wagon 1 is stopped at a predetermined position where the top cover 4a of the dust box 4 can be opened and closed.

At this stop position, the top cover 4a of the dust box 4 is opened to house dust therein, and then the wagon 1 is pushed back again. This wagon 1 is rail 1
When the wagon 1 is stopped at a predetermined position at the front end of 0, 11, the wagon 1 is not completely pulled out of the storage unit 9, so that the wagon 1 is taken in and out of the storage unit 9 by the guide 5 and the rail 1
With only 0 and 11, it is possible to easily and smoothly perform the operation as if it were a drawer.

On the other hand, when the dust stored in the dust box 4 of the wagon 1 is full, and when the dust in the dust box 4 is to be taken out, the wagon 1 is pulled out largely forward from the storage portion 9 of the cabinet 8. In this case, wagon 1
Is pulled out to a position (position shown in FIG. 1) where the guide 5 is completely removed from the rails 10 and 11 of the storage section 9. Even when this drawer, the inclined surface 12 of the inclined surface 6 and the rail 11 of the guide 5, without wagon 1 that is floating from the floor 13 is pulled over suddenly floor 13, the inclined surface 6, 12 The four casters 3 are gradually placed on the floor 13 along the route, so that the pull-out operation can be performed smoothly and the floor 13 is prevented from being damaged at the time of pull-out.

As described above, in the wagon 1 of the above embodiment, since the guide 5 is attached to the wagon frame 2 and the rails 10 and 11 are attached to the side plates 8a and 8b of the storage section 9 of the cabinet 8, The wagon 1 can be taken in and out of the storage section 9 by linear movement along the rails 10 and 11 of the guide 5, so that the operation of taking the wagon 1 in and out can be easily performed, and the wagon 1 can be taken in and out when the wagon 1 is taken in and out. One caster 3 is a side plate 8a, 8b
The contact with the inner surface or the like can be suppressed, and the cabinet 8 can be prevented from being damaged.

In particular, since the inclined surface 6 is formed at the rear end 5b of the guide 5 and the inclined surface 12 is also formed at the front end 11a of the rail 11 of the cabinet 8, the contact between the guide 5 and the rail 11 is achieved. The start and the rearward movement can be performed smoothly, and when the wagon 1 is completely pulled out from the storage portion 9, the wagon 1 is not suddenly pulled out onto the floor surface 13 and along the inclined surfaces 6, 12. Can be pulled out gradually. From these facts, even if the weight of the garbage stored in the plurality of dust boxes 4 is unbalanced, the wagon 1 can be moved linearly in the storage unit 9 and the operation of taking in and out thereof can be performed. Performance can be improved.

Further, since a pair of upper and lower rails 10 and 11 are provided on the side plates 8a and 8b of the cabinet 8, the wagon 1 pulled forward by a predetermined distance by the rails 10 and 11 is moved to a predetermined position (garbage storage position). In addition to being able to stably hold the garbage, the wagon 1 containing the garbage can be stored in the storage section 9 by simply pushing the wagon 1 backwards. The wagon 1 can be obtained.

Further, when the wagon 1 is stored in the storage section 9 by setting the heights of the guide 5 and the rail 11, the casters 3 are floated from the floor surface 13. Of the casters 3 on the floor 13 can be suppressed as much as possible, and the impact applied to the floor 13 when the wagon 1 is completely pulled out is reduced by the guides 5 and the inclined surfaces 6 and 12 of the rails 11 as described above. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the floor surface 13 from being damaged due to the operation of pulling out the wagon 1.

In addition, since the rail-shaped guides 5 are fixed to the left and right sides of the wagon frame 2 of the wagon 1 and the rails 10 and 11 are fixed to the inner surfaces of the side plates 8a and 8b of the cabinet 8, it is possible to cope with the problem. It can easily cope with existing system stockers, and also has guides 5 provided on the wagon 1 and side plates 8 of the cabinet 8.
With the rails 10 and 11 provided on the a and 8b, an additional function and effect can be obtained that the rigidity of the wagon 1 and the cabinet 8 itself can be increased.

In the above embodiment, a rail-shaped guide 5 is used as a guide member of the wagon 1 and
Although the rails 10 and 11 are used as the guide members of the net 8, the guide members according to the present invention are not limited to this. For example, the groove members provided on the side plates 8 a and 8 b are used as the guide members of the cabinet 8. For example , appropriate rail-shaped mechanisms that engage with each other when the wagon 1 is moved can be employed, and the mounting positions and numbers thereof are not limited to those in the above-described embodiment.

In the above embodiment, the wagon 1
Although the guides 5 are provided and the cabinets 8 are provided with the rails 10 and 11 , the present invention includes a configuration in which these relationships are reversed. That is, a configuration in which the rails 10 and 11 serving as guide members are attached to the wagon frame 2 and the guides 5 serving as guide members are attached to the cabinet 8 can also be adopted.

Further, in each of the above embodiments, the form of the wagon 1, the cabinet 8, and the wagon frame 2, the shape of the dust box 4 and the set number thereof, the guide 5 and the lathe
The lengths and shapes of the tools 10 and 11 are also examples, and it goes without saying that various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of each invention according to the present invention.
