【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし近年、地球温暖化等の環境問題は世界の重要課題の１つとなっており、日本国内においても産業廃棄物処理法、容器包装リサイクル法、廃家電リサイクル法等の法規則が順次施行されている。特に、エアコンについては家電品の中でも主となる商品であり、家電リサイクル法の対象にもなっており、環境対応については積極的に取り組まなければならない商品の１つである。包装についても循環型社会に対応すべく使用量の削減を図ると共に環境負荷の少ない材料、リサイクル可能な材料、再生可能な材料を用いる等、廃棄物を最小限に押さえる「省資源包装」の開発が不可欠である。
【０００５】
本発明は、エアコン室外機の包装装置に関し徹底した省資源化を図ると共に、倉庫保管、輸送運搬・移動等においてもエアコン室外機本体に傷付や破損が生じない包装装置を提供することを目的としている。
さらに、包装部材の回収及び包装装置の多数回使用を可能とすることにより、廃棄物を出さない環境保護に役立つエアコン室外機の包装装置を提供することを目的としている。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成するために、本発明の請求項１記載のエアコン室外機の包装装置は、エアコン室外機本体の上部に当てがう上部固定材と、エアコン室外機本体を載置する下部固定材とから成るエアコン室外機の包装装置において、均一肉厚となるように上部固定材及び下部固定材を形成すると共に、上部固定材の４隅にエアコン室外機本体の天面角部と係合する天面角係合部を形成し、更に下部固定材の４隅にエアコン室外機本体の底角部と係合する本体載置部を形成し、上部固定材及び下部固定材によってエアコン室外機本体を上下から挟み込み、バンドで結束すべく構成したものである。
【０００７】
また、本発明の請求項２に記載のエアコン室外機の包装装置は、エアコン室外機本体の上部に当てがう上部固定材と、エアコン室外機本体を載置する下部固定材とから成るエアコン室外機の包装装置において、均一肉厚となるように上部固定材及び下部固定材を形成すると共に、上部固定材の４隅にエアコン室外機本体の天面角部と係合する天面角係合部を形成し、更に下部固定材にエアコン室外機本体の脚内側と係合し、エアコン室外機本体を載置固定する側固定部及びエアコン室外機本体を載置固定する底妻受け部を設けると共に、下部固定材の４隅に段積みした際に下段の上部固定材の天面角係合部と嵌り合う膨出部を形成し、上部固定材及び下部固定材によってエアコン室外機本体を上下から挟み込み、バンドで結束すべく構成したものである。
【０００８】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明をその実施の形態を示す図面を参酌しながら説明し、本発明の理解に供する。
図１は、本発明第１の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置の分解斜視図であり、１は脚２を有するエアコン室外機本体であり、３は４隅にエアコン室外機本体の天面角部と係合する天面角係合部４を設けた上部固定材である。また、５は４隅にエアコン室外機本体１の底角部と係合する本体載置部６を設けた下部固定材である。なお、上部固定材３、下部固定材５共に強度が大きく、弾性に富む樹脂原材料で成型にて形成する。７はエアコンに室外機全体に被せる品名、品番、社名等を印刷した保護カバーである。８は結束バンドである。
図２は、本発明第１の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置の側面断面図であり、９はエアコン室外機本体１と上部固定材３との間に形成される上部空間部であり１０はエアコン室外機本体１と下部固定材５との間に形成される下部空間部である。
図３は、本発明第１の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置における上部固定材及び下部固定材各々の段積み状態を示す側面図である。
【０００９】
上記した本発明の第１の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置では、強度と弾性を有する樹脂原材料で成型にて形成した上部固定材３と下部固定材５とでエアコン室外機本体１を挟み込むように構成し、バンド８で結束することにより包装装置を形成するものであり、上部固定材３の天面角係合部４が強度が大であるエアコン室外機本体１の天面角部と係合し、エアコン室外機本体１と上部固定材３との間に上部空間部９を形成している。また、下部固定材５の本体載置部６にエアコン室外機本体１を載置し、エアコン室外機本体１と下部固定材５との間に下部空間部１０を形成している。
即ち、上部空間部９が形成されることにより強度が小であるエアコン室外機本体１の天面中央部分を、また下部空間部１０が形成されることにより変形しやすい脚２をエアコン室外機本体１を輸送、取扱い、保管時等に発生する落下衝撃や積み上げ荷重等より保護し、損傷を防ぐことができる。
従って、従来の上部ケース３５'と上部緩衝材３３'、下部ケース３０'と下部緩衝材３１'を各々樹脂原材料で形成した１ピースの上部固定材３及び下部固定材５に置換でき、部品数が半数となり大幅なる省資源化が図れるものと期待できる。
更に、上部固定材３及び下部固定材５が傾斜を有する様に形成し、トレー形状とすることにより、段積み状態で回収することができるようになり、低コストでの回収が可能となり、繰り返しの使用が実現され、廃棄物を出さないという効果が期待できるものである。
【００１０】
図４は、本発明第２の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置の分解斜視図であり、１１は下部固定材５に設けたエアコン室外機本体１の脚２の内側と係合しエアコン室外機本体１を載置固定する側固定部であり、１２は下部固定材５に設けたエアコン室外機本体１を載置固定する底妻受け部である。また１３は段積みした際に下段の上部固定材３の天面角部４と嵌り合うように下部固定材５の４隅に形成した膨出部である。なお１４は下部固定材５の平部である。
図５は、本発明第２の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置の側面断面図である。
図６は、本発明第２の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置の段積み状態を示す正面図である。
【００１１】
上記した本発明第２の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置では、下部固定材５の４隅に形成された膨出部１３により平部１４は接地面から浮いた状態となり、平部１４に脚２が接しているか否かを問わず（図５では、脚２が平部１４に接していない場合を図示）接地面から脚２が浮いている状態でエアコン室外機本体１が下部固定材５に収納されるので、変形しやすい脚２をエアコン室外機本体１を輸送、取扱い、保管時等に発生する落下衝撃より保護し、損傷を防ぐことができる。
さらに、段積みした際に下部固定材５の膨出部１３が上部固定材３の天面角部４と嵌り合うように形成しているために、ズレがなく安定した積み重ねが可能になると共に、輸送中の振動や急ブレーキ等でも上段の包装装置のズレが生じにくく、落下による製品の損傷を防止することができる、
また、膨出部１３を設けることにより結束バンド８が輸送中の荷扱い等によって外側への移動を防ぐことも可能になる。
なお、部品数の半減により大幅なる省資源化が期待できる点及び低コストでの回収が可能となり、繰り返しの使用が実現されることにより廃棄物を出さないという効果が期待できる点は、前記第１の実施の形態の場合と同様である。
【００１２】
図７は、本発明第３の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置の分解斜視図であり、１５は上部固定材３及び下部固定材５の長辺稜部と短辺稜部に設けたバンド結束用凹部である。
図８は、本発明第４の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置の分解斜視図であり、１５は上部固定材３の長辺稜部と短辺稜部に設けたバンド結束用凹部である。
【００１３】
上部固定材３と下部固定材５によってエアコン室外機本体１を上下から挟み込み、バンド８で結束した場合、輸送中の荷扱いにより結束バンド８が徐々に緩み、最悪の場合にはズレを生じて外れることがある。
しかしながら、上記した本発明第３、第４の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置では、バンド結束用凹部１５を設けることにより結束バンド８が多少緩んだとしても結束バンド８の移動を防ぐことが可能となる。
なお、上記した本発明第４の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置では、バンド結束用凹部１５を上部固定材３にのみ設け、下部固定材５には設けていないが、前述のように、膨出部１３を設けることにより結束バンド８の外側への移動は防止できる。
【００１４】
図９は、本発明第５の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置の分解斜視図であり、１６は上部固定材３及び下部固定材５の長辺稜部と短辺稜部に周回する結束バンド８の溝を兼ねた補強リブである。
図１０は、本発明第６の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置の分解斜視図であり、１６は上部固定材３の長辺稜部と短辺稜部に周回する結束バンド８の溝を兼ねた補強リブである。
【００１５】
上記したバンド結束用凹部１５を設けることによっても結束バンド８の移動を防ぐことは可能であるが、上記した本発明第５の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置では、結束バンド８の溝を兼ねた補強リブ１６を設けることにより、より一層確実に、結束バンド８の移動防止することができる。
さらに、補強リブ１６により、上部固定材３では上面に人が乗ったり、他商品が落下する等して衝撃が集中しても十分に耐え、エアコン室外機本体１の天面を保護することが可能である。
なお、上記した本発明第６の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置では、補強リブ１６を上部固定材３にのみ設け、下部固定材５には設けていないが、これも上記した本発明第４の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置の場合と同様に、膨出部１３を設けることにより結束バンド８の外側への移動は防止できる。
【００１６】
図１１は、本発明第７、第８の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置における上部固定材の斜視図であり、１７は上部固定材３の短辺稜部に形成したフラットな凹部である。
【００１７】
上記した本発明第７、第８の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置では、上部固定材３の短辺稜部に形成したフラットな凹部１７を荷扱い時の把手部として活用できるために、包装装置を持ち上げても指が痛くなく、荷扱い作業が容易に出来るという効果が期待できる。
【００１８】
図１２は、本発明第９、第１０の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置における上部固定材の斜視図であり、１８は上部固定材３に設けた凹部１７に形成した把手部リブである。
【００１９】
上記した本発明第９、第１０の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置では、把手部リブ１８を設けることにより、結束バンド８によって凹部１７が締め付けられて変形し荷扱い時に把手部として活用できなくなっていまうといった弊害を防止することができる。
【００２０】
図１３は、本発明第１１の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置における下部固定材の斜視図であり、１９は本体載置部６と連接して設けられた脚２の内側部分と係合する脚受け部２０を形成したリブであり、２１は長辺稜部に設けた側受け部である。
図１４は、本発明第１１の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置の正面断面図である。
【００２１】
上記した本発明第１１の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置では、本体載置部６に連接しエアコン室外機本体１の脚２を載置するリブ１９を本体載置部４に連接して形成することにより脚２の先端部を浮かせた状態で収納すると共に、リブ１９上に脚２の内側部分と係合する脚受け部２０を形成し、更に長辺稜部にはエアコン室外機本体１を載置する側受け部２１を形成することにより、エアコン室外機本体１をより確実に載置・固定でき、かつ脚２の先端部を保護することができる。
【００２２】
図１５は、本発明第１２の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置の分解斜視図であり、２２は下部固定材５に設けた中央膨出部であり、２３は段積みした際に上段の下部固定材５の中央膨出部２２と嵌り合う上面係合部である。
【００２３】
エアコン室外機本体１は一般的に、幅が狭くて長く、高さがやや高い直方体の商品であり、倉庫保管時等に使用するパレットの積付けの効率が悪くなる上にパレットの大きさによっては、下部固定材５の膨出部１３がパレットからはみ出して傾き不安定な積付け、段積みとなる場合がある。
しかしながら、上記した本発明第１２の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置では、中央膨出部２２を設けたことにより例え膨出部１３がパレットからはみ出したとしても、安定した積付けが出来るという効果が期待できる。
さらに、上面係合凹部２３を段積みした際に上段の下部固定材５の中央膨出部２２と下段の上部固定材３の上面係合凹部とが係合するように形成することにより、上段の下部固定材５の膨出部１３と下段の上部固定材３の天面角係合部４とが係合する効果と併せてより安定した段積みが可能となる。
【００２４】
図１６は、本発明第１３の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置の分解斜視図であり、２４は上部固定材３の４隅に設けた支柱係合部であり２５は天面角係合部４と支柱係合部を連接する支柱係合部リブである。２６は下部固定材の膨出部に設けた支柱係合凹部である。２７は断面Ｌ型支柱である。
【００２５】
上記した本発明第１３の実施の形態に係るエアコン室外機の包装装置では、４隅に断面Ｌ型支柱２７を立て、支柱係合部２４を天面角係合部４と同じ高さで形成すると共に支柱係合部リブ２５で両者を連接したことにより、支柱係合部２４は十分な強度を有し、段積みにおいても、上段の下部固定材５の膨出部１３と下段の上部固定材３の天面角係合部４及び支柱係合部２４、支柱係合部リブ２５が嵌り合い、４本の断面Ｌ型支柱２７が荷重を直接支えることとなり、耐圧強度が大幅に増加する。
即ち、積み上げ段数が増加し、保管効率が向上し、倉庫保管費用の低減等の効果が期待できる。
【００２６】
【発明の効果】
以上述べてきたように、本発明によれば、エアコン室外機の包装装置に関し徹底した省資源化が図れると共に、倉庫保管、輸送運搬、移動等においてもエアコン室外機に傷付や破損を防止することができる。また、包装部材の回収及び包装装置の多数回使用を可能とすることにより、廃棄物を出さず、環境保護に役立つものである。
