(3) A plurality of inner ribs are provided radially on the inner peripheral surface of the column portion. Impact resistance is improved when a radial external force is applied directly to the column.
(4) An L-shaped guard member is attached to the bottom edge corner of the device main body, and a horizontal portion of the guard member is provided at the upper end of the pillar portion of the transportation leg. A stepped portion is provided through which an attachment groove formed in a cutout can be inserted.
The guard member is mounted so as to cover the bottom corner of the equipment body while inserting the horizontal mounting groove into the stepped portion of the column of the transportation leg, and a foreign object such as a fork of a forklift directly hits the same part. Protect from. The guard member can be easily attached.

(5) An L-shaped guard member is attached to the bottom corner of the device main body, and is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the column portion in comparison with the upper surface of the column portion in the transportation leg. Since the upper surface of the rib is formed to be one step lower, a stepped portion is provided at the upper end portion of the column portion through which a mounting groove formed by cutting out the edge of the horizontal portion of the guard member can be inserted. It has been.
The same effect as described above can be obtained.

(6) At the outer bottom surface of the base, the central portion is formed in a form higher than the peripheral portion, and a drain hole reaching the outer bottom surface is formed at a position near the central portion of the inner bottom surface of the base. Has been.
The transport leg is installed in a form in which a gap is provided between the center of the outer bottom surface of the base and the installation surface. When water accumulates in the base, it is drained from the drain hole toward the gap.

(7) The column portion is formed in a hollow shape having an open bottom surface, and a tool fitting hole into which a tool is fitted to screw the transport leg is formed in the hollow ceiling surface. Yes.
When mounting the transportation leg, place the tool in the hollow of the column, fit it into the tool fitting hole, screw the screw rod of the column into the screw hole on the equipment body side, and turn the tool. Installed by screwing. When removing, the leg for transportation can be removed by loosening the tool in the opposite direction. Attachment and removal of the transport leg can be performed more easily.

The screw rod (not shown) is attached by screwing it into the screw hole 15 of the mounting plate 14, and the refrigerator main body 10 is supported on the installation surface while being supported by the four legs 16. Yes.

  On the other hand, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show an outline of the form during transportation, and a leg 30 for transportation, which will be described later in detail, is attached to the four corners of the bottom surface of the refrigerator body 10 in detail. At the same time, the refrigerator main body 10 (including the machine room 12) is covered with a bag-shaped resin sheet (not shown). Then, cardboard L-shaped guard members 20 are respectively formed at the front and rear corners of the bottom of the refrigerator main body 10, and the cardboard substantially box-shaped guards are also formed at the left and right ends of the upper surface of the machine room 12. A member 26 is mounted, and is tightened over the entire circumference by the resin band 28 with the guard members 20 and 26 sandwiched between the left and right ends of the refrigerator main body 10 (including the machine room 12).

  The transport leg 30 (hereinafter simply referred to as the leg 30) will be described. The leg 30 is integrally formed by injection molding of a synthetic resin material such as polypropylene. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the leg body 30 rises from the center of the bottomed ring-shaped base 31 having a circumferential wall 33 around the entire periphery of the circular bottom wall 32 and the inner bottom surface of the base 31. It is formed from a circular pillar portion 34 that forms a hollow shape with the open bottom surface. At the center of the upper surface of the column portion 34, a screw rod 35 that can be screwed into the screw hole 15 of the mounting plate 14 embedded in the bottom surface of the refrigerator main body 10 is projected.

  An example of the dimensions of the leg 30 is as shown in FIG. 6. The diameter φ1 of the base 31 in the leg 30 is 190 mm, and the diameter φ2 of the pillar 34 is 73 mm. Moreover, the height h1 to the upper surface of the column part 34 in the leg 30 is 156 mm, and the height h2 of the base 31 (the peripheral wall 33) is 50 mm. As described later, the height h1 of the leg 30 is set between the outer bottom surface of the refrigerator body 10 and the installation surface when the leg body 30 is mounted and installed on the bottom surface of the refrigerator body 10. The height is such that a space in which a fork (not shown) can be inserted is secured.

Eight outer ribs 36 having an L shape are formed radially from the outer peripheral surface of the column 34 in the leg body 30 to the inner bottom surface of the base 31 (up to the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 33) at equal angular intervals. Has been. More specifically, on the base 31 side, the outer rib 36 is formed to have the same height as the peripheral wall 33, while on the column part 34 side, a predetermined length protrudes from the outer peripheral surface. The diameter φ3 of the circle connecting the protruding ends of the outer ribs 36 is about 100 mm.
Here, the height position of the upper surface of the outer rib 36 is set to be lower by a predetermined dimension H (about 10 mm) than the height position of the upper surface of the column part 34, and thereby the dimension at the upper end part of the column part 34. A step portion 38 having an H step is formed.

The dimension H of the level difference in the level difference part 38 is set in consideration of the thickness of the guard member 20 for the bottom. As shown in FIG. 2, the front-side and back-side guide members 20 have a length comparable to the entire width of the refrigerator body 10, and the leg 30 is attached to the opening edge of each horizontal portion 21. A mounting groove 23 that can be inserted into the stepped portion 38 of the column portion 34 of the leg 30 is cut at a right angle at two positions corresponding to the position. The cutting depth of the mounting groove 23 is such that the depth of each mounting groove 23 hits the stepped portion 38 when the vertical portion 22 of the guide member 20 hits the front surface or the rear surface of the refrigerator body 10.
In addition, positioning grooves 24 into which fastening resin bands 28 are fitted are formed at two left and right corners of the guard member 20 on the front side.

  The operation of this embodiment will be described. In shipping the product, as shown in FIG. 8, the screw rod 35 of the transport leg 30 is screwed into the screw holes 15 of the mounting plates 14 provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the refrigerator body 10, The pillar 34 is screwed in and attached until the upper surface of the pillar 34 comes into contact with the bottom surface of the refrigerator main body 10. When the four legs 30 are attached, the refrigerator main body 10 (including the machine room 12) is covered with a bag-shaped resin sheet (not shown).

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2, guard members 20 are attached to the front and rear corners of the bottom of the refrigerator body 10. As shown in FIG. 9, the guard member 20 on the near side is inserted through the left and right mounting grooves 23 formed on the horizontal portion 21 into the step portions 38 provided on the two left and right legs 30. However, the insertion is stopped when it is inserted from the front side and the vertical portion 22 hits the bottom of the front surface of the refrigerator main body 10.
The back side guard member 20 is inserted from the back side while inserting the left and right mounting grooves 23 similarly formed in the horizontal part 21 through the stepped parts 38 provided on the left and right two leg bodies 30 respectively. The insertion is stopped when the vertical portion 22 hits the bottom of the rear surface of the refrigerator main body 10.
As a result, the guard members 20 are mounted in close contact with the front and rear corners of the bottom of the refrigerator main body 10, respectively.

At the same time, as shown in FIG. 3, guard members 26 are placed on the left and right ends of the upper surface of the machine room 12. The upper guard member 26 is formed in such a shape that the shallow box is turned upside down and two adjacent side surfaces are removed, and each guard member 26 has the remaining two side surfaces on the front side and the left side or right side of the machine room 12. Are attached to the left and right ends of the upper surface of the machine room 12.
After that, the upper and lower guard members 20, 26 are positioned while fitting the resin band 28 into the positioning groove 24 of the lower guard member 20 on the lower side at the left and right ends of the refrigerator body 10 (including the machine room 12). Tighten it by winding it vertically over the entire circumference. Thus, the product packaging is completed.

  The product, that is, the refrigerator main body 10 (including the machine room 12) is shipped and transported in the form packed as described above. In the meantime, when loading or unloading a product on a vehicle or the like using a forklift, for example, the refrigerator main body 10 is supported while inserting and removing the forks between the left and right legs 30 on the lower surface of the refrigerator main body 10 from the front side. Will do.

When the product is transported and installed, unpack it at the installation location. As a procedure, after cutting and removing both the resin bands 28 from the packing state shown in FIG. 3, the upper and lower four guard members 20, 26 and the resin sheet are removed. After that, the leg 30 is removed by rotating it in the direction of loosening the screw, and instead, the leg 16 provided separately is screwed into the screw hole 15 of the mounting plate 14 embedded in the four corners of the bottom (see FIG. 1) It is installed at a predetermined installation position.
The transportation leg 30 removed at the time of unpacking is collected and reused when shipping or transporting another product.

According to the transport leg 30 of the present embodiment, the following various effects can be obtained.
At the time of transportation, the leg 30 for transportation is attached by screwing the screw rod 35 on the upper surface of the column portion 34 into the screw hole 15 of the mounting plate 14 disposed on the bottom surface of the refrigerator main body 10. The refrigerator main body 10 is supported. During installation, the leg 30 is unscrewed and removed, and the attached leg 16 is screwed in instead.
By using the legs 30 instead of the legs 16 during transportation, it is possible to substantially prevent the legs 16 from being damaged during transportation. Since the leg 30 is formed as a single piece of synthetic resin material, it can be manufactured at a low cost, and when it is reused, it is a single member, which is convenient for management and storage.

  The basic shape of the leg body 30 is a shape in which a pillar portion 34 having a screw rod 35 provided on the upper surface is integrally erected at the center of a circular base 31, and the height of the pillar portion 34 is increased. As a result, since the overall height of the leg 30 is increased, when the leg 30 is attached to the bottom surface of the refrigerator main body 10, a fork lift fork is inserted under the bottom of the refrigerator main body 10. 10 can be lifted and transported. Here, when the fork comes into contact with the leg 30, the forklift driver first notices this by hitting the base 31, and then immediately stops the operation so that the collision force can be kept to a minimum. As a result, the balance of the packed product is prevented from being lost. Moreover, the impact force to the pillar part 34 is relieved by hitting the base 31, and breakage of the screw rod 35 can be prevented.

  More specifically, the leg body 30 has a base 31 formed in a bottomed ring shape, and a column part 34 formed in a hollow shape with an open bottom surface. Eight outer ribs 36 are provided radially over the inner bottom surface. Accordingly, the weight of the leg 30 can be reduced, and the buckling strength in the axial direction of the column portion 34 and the strength against the impact in the radial direction of the base 31 can be increased.

  An L-shaped guard member 20 made of cardboard is attached to a corner of the front or rear surface of the bottom of the refrigerator body 10 to prevent foreign matter such as a fork of a forklift from hitting. To cope with this, on the leg body 30 side, by lowering the upper surface of the outer rib 36 one step, the mounting groove 23 cut out at the edge of the horizontal portion 21 of the guard member 20 can be inserted into the upper end portion of the column portion 34. A stepped portion 38 is provided. Therefore, the guard member 20 is simply inserted along the outer bottom surface of the refrigerator body 10 so that the mounting groove 23 of the horizontal portion 21 is aligned with the stepped portion 38 at the upper end of the column portion 34, and the front or rear side of the bottom portion of the refrigerator body 10 is inserted. Can be worn over the corner. That is, the guard member 20 can be easily attached.

FIG. 10 shows Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
The leg body 30A according to the second embodiment has eight inner ribs 37 extending over the entire height of the leg body 30 according to the first embodiment at positions corresponding to the back side of the outer ribs 36 on the inner peripheral surface of the column portion 34. Are projecting radially.
According to this leg 30A, impact resistance when a radial external force is directly applied to the column portion 34 is enhanced.

<Embodiment 3>
FIG. 11 shows Embodiment 3 of the present invention.
Compared with the leg body 30 of the first embodiment, the leg body 30B of the third embodiment has L-shaped outer ribs 36B arranged radially from the outer periphery of the column portion 34 to the inner bottom surface of the base 31. 16 sheets which are twice as large as those in the first embodiment are provided.
The buckling strength in the axial direction of the column part 34 and the strength against the radial impact of the base 31 can be further strengthened.
Also in the leg 30B, an inner rib may be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the column portion 34, as in the second embodiment.

<Embodiment 4>
A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, the leg body 40 according to the fourth embodiment includes a bottomed ring-shaped base 41 having a circumferential wall 43 around the entire periphery of a circular bottom wall 42, and an inner bottom surface of the base 41. And a circular column 44 having a hollow shape with an open bottom surface formed from the center.

More specifically, as compared with the leg body 30 of the first embodiment, the column portion 44 is formed with a relatively large diameter, and the base 41 is formed with a relatively short height. The pillar portion 44 is formed with a stepped portion 45 by reducing the diameter of a predetermined dimension of the upper end portion thereof, and the mounting plate 14 embedded in the bottom surface of the refrigerator main body 10 is formed at the center of the top surface of the stepped portion 45. A screw rod 46 that can be screwed into the screw hole 15 is projected.
A mounting groove 23 cut and formed in the horizontal portion 21 of the cardboard guard member 20 described above can be inserted into the step portion 45 provided at the upper end of the column portion 44. On the back side of the lower end portion of the stepped portion 45, a reinforcing wall 45A is provided around downward.

On the inner bottom surface forming the ring shape of the base 41, twelve ribs 47 shown in the figure are radially arranged so as to connect the lower end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the column portion 44 and the peripheral wall 43 of the base 41. Has been.
On the other hand, the outer bottom surface 41A forming the ring shape of the base 41 is a tapered surface inclined obliquely upward from the outer peripheral edge toward the inner peripheral edge. Therefore, when the leg 40 is installed and installed on the bottom surface of the refrigerator body 10 as will be described later, there is a gap 48 between the surface near the inner peripheral edge of the outer bottom surface 41A of the base 41 and the installation surface. It is configured.

The inside of the base 41 is divided into 12 rooms 50 by providing the 12 ribs 47 described above, but the bottom of each room 50 is slightly closer to the inner edge side from the center position. A water drain hole 51 is formed in a penetrating position.
It should be noted that twelve cushion grooves 52 are provided at the peripheral corners of the surface around the lower end of the stepped portion 45 in the above-described column portion 44, with a certain angular interval corresponding to the formation position of the ribs 47 on the entire circumference. It is formed over. Since the cushion groove 52 is formed, it functions to absorb vibrations and shocks during transportation. In addition, the fact that the outer bottom surface 41A of the base 41 is a tapered surface and the gap 48 is formed between the base 41 and the installation surface is also effective in absorbing vibration and impact during transportation.

The operation of this embodiment is as follows. In shipping the product, as shown in FIG. 15, the screw rod 46 of the leg 40 is screwed into the screw hole 15 of each mounting plate 14 provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the refrigerator body 10, and the column portion Screw 44 until the upper surface of the reduced diameter portion 44 contacts the bottom surface of the refrigerator main body 10. After the four legs 40 are attached, the guard members 20 are attached to the front and rear corners of the bottom of the refrigerator body 10 after the resin sheets are covered.
As shown in FIG. 16, the guard member 20 on the near side is inserted through the left and right mounting grooves 23 formed on the horizontal portion 21 into the step portions 45 provided on the two left and right legs 40 on the near side. On the other hand, it is inserted and installed from the front side. Similarly, the back guard member 20 is inserted and attached from the back side.
After that, as in the first embodiment, the left and right guard members 26 are mounted on the upper surface of the machine room 12 and then fastened by the two left and right resin bands 28.

  When the product is shipped and transported in the packed form as described above, and when the product is stacked or unloaded on a vehicle or the like using a forklift, the left and right sides of the lower surface of the refrigerator main body 10 are, for example, from the front side. The refrigerator main body 10 is supported while inserting and removing the fork between the legs 40. At this time, even if the fork comes into contact with the leg body 40, the impact force on the column portion 44 is reduced by first hitting the base 41, and breakage of the screw rod 46 can be prevented.

  If water falls during transportation or the like, for example, water may accumulate in the room 50 defined in the base 41 of the leg 40, but a drain hole 51 is opened on the bottom surface of the room 50. Therefore, the water is prevented from being accumulated through the water drain hole 51 and discarded in the gap 48 between the installation surface and the water.

  According to the transport leg 40 of the present embodiment, the leg 16 is damaged during transport by using the leg 40 instead of the leg 16 during transport, similarly to the leg 30 of the first embodiment. In addition, the leg 40 can be manufactured at a low cost because it is formed as an integral part of a synthetic resin material, and it is convenient for management and storage because it is a single member when it is reused. It becomes.

As a shape effect, when the fork of the forklift comes into contact with the leg body 40, the impact force to the column portion 44 is reduced by hitting the base 41, but the rib 47 is provided in the base 41. Because it is arranged, it is strengthened against the impact force. Further, since the column portion 44 has a relatively large diameter, the axial buckling strength is enhanced.
Similarly, since the stepped portion 45 is provided at the upper end portion of the column portion 44, the guard member 20 can be easily mounted.

  As described above, since the plurality of (12) ribs 47 are formed in the base 41 in order to enhance the base 41 of the leg body 40, the inside of the base 41 is partitioned into small rooms 50, and is lowered. Although the suspended water tends to accumulate, the outer bottom surface 41A forming the ring shape of the base 41 is a tapered surface inclined obliquely upward from the outer peripheral edge toward the inner peripheral edge, and the inner peripheral edge of the outer bottom surface 41A of the base 41 While the gap 48 is formed between the close surface and the installation surface, the drain hole 51 is formed at a position near the inner peripheral edge on the inner bottom surface of each room 50, so that the water that has fallen down is water. It is discarded in the gap 48 between the installation surface through the punch hole 51 and water is prevented from accumulating. Thus, the leg body 40 can be kept clean.

<Embodiment 5>
Embodiment 5 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

The refrigerator main body 10 is supported while inserting and removing the fork between the legs 60. At this time, even if the fork comes into contact with the leg body 60, the impact force applied to the column portion 64 is reduced by first hitting the base 61, and breakage of the screw rod 65 can be prevented.

When the product is transported and installed, unpack it at the installation location. As a procedure, after cutting and removing both the resin bands 28 from a packing state, the guard members 20 and 26 and the resin sheet are removed. After that, the leg body 60 is rotated and removed in the direction of loosening the screw, and instead, the leg portion 16 provided separately is screwed into the screw hole 15 of the mounting plate 14 embedded in the four corners of the bottom surface (see FIG. 1), and is installed at a predetermined installation position.
The transportation leg 60 removed at the time of unpacking is collected and reused when shipping or transporting another product.

According to the fifth embodiment, by using the leg body 60 instead of the leg portion 16 during transportation, it is possible to substantially prevent the leg portion 16 from being damaged during transportation. Since the leg 60 is formed as a single piece of synthetic resin material, it can be manufactured at a low cost, and when it is reused, it is a single member, which is convenient for management and storage.
When transporting using a forklift, when the fork comes into contact with the leg 60, the forklift driver first notices this by hitting the base 61, and then immediately stops driving, thereby minimizing the collision force. it can. Moreover, the impact force to the column part 64 is relieved by hitting the base 61, and the screw rod 65 can be prevented from being broken.
