Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cell guide device for container stowage, and more particularly to a cell guide device suitable for stowage operations of containers of different sizes and sizes.

Generally, containers of different sizes, such as 20-foot containers and 40-foot containers, are stowed in the container holds of cargo ships that transport containers. Even in such a container hold, a cell guide device is provided so as to stably fix and hold the container within the hold.

Conventionally, in this type of container hold, the cell guide device is used for large containers (40
Hold 2 corresponding to the four corners of foot container) 1
The fixed cell guide 3 is arranged and erected along the side wall of the cell. And large container 1
Small container (20 foot container) instead of 4
When converting the loading into a container, the small containers 4 are stacked in line with the fixed cell guides 3, as shown in Figure 2. However, since there are no cell guides 3 in the corners of the containers located in the center of the warehouse, they must be stacked separately. 5 is used to secure the containers to each other. This stacker 5 has a thickness of 10 to 15 mm, and in order to adjust the height, a stacker 6 is also set at the corner of the container on the fixed cell guide 3 side. As shown in FIG. 3, the stacker 5 is designed to prevent movement by fitting projections provided on the upper and lower surfaces into the container 4.

For this reason, in the conventional cell guide device, the fixed cell guide 3 is
Because of the installation of stackers 5 and 6, a large number of stackers 5 and 6 must be set up each time the cargo is loaded, resulting in a significant increase in cargo handling time and causing problems for workers during busy quay cargo handling. This imposes an excessive amount of work and causes extremely large losses in terms of ship operations. In addition, not only is there a safety problem as workers enter the cargo hold 2 each time the loading work is carried out, but the stackers 5 and 6 are located between the upper and lower containers, forming a space. Another disadvantage is that the space utilization rate is extremely poor.

The present invention focuses on the above-mentioned conventional problems, and makes it possible to easily change the stowage of large and small containers in the same ship hold, and also allows the stowage of any container to be carried out using cell guide means. It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved cell guide device that does not require manual work inside the warehouse.

In order to achieve the above object, the cell guide device for container stowage according to the present invention has a flat plate-shaped moving cell guide that can partition the inside of a ship's hold into two tanks. A fixed cell guide is provided on the side of the hold wall that corresponds to the other side of the movable cell guide, and a removable cell guide that is removable via a guide rail is provided on the side of the hold wall that corresponds to the other side of the movable cell guide. A guide rail for the moving cell guide is installed on the corresponding hold wall side,
This guide rail for the moving cell guide divides the space between the fixed cell guide and the removable cell guide into two, allowing small containers to be placed in parallel on both sides of the moving cell guide, and allowing large containers to be fixed between the fixed cell guide and the moving cell guide. It is arranged and configured at each position.

With this configuration, when loading large containers, the movable cell guide is installed in the hold via the movable cell guide guide rail provided on the detachable cell guide guide rail side, and the movable cell guide and fixed cell guide It is sufficient to load large containers while guiding and regulating them between the two. In addition, when loading small containers, attach a removable cell guide,
Attach a mobile cell guide to the center of the hold in the same way,
Small containers may be stacked on each of both sides of the mobile cell guide. Each corner on the center side of this small container is held by a moving cell guide, and is held by a removable and fixed cell guide on the hold wall side. Therefore, when changing the stowage of large and small containers, all containers can be easily stowed by simply attaching and detaching the moving cell guide and detachable cell guide.
In addition, the container can be safely fixed. Therefore, cargo handling time can be significantly shortened and space within the cargo hold can be used effectively.

Embodiments of the cell guide device for container stowage according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Schematic plan views of the cell guide device according to this embodiment are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. As shown in these figures, the cell guide device is composed of three types of cell guides and a guide rail for mounting the cell guide. That is, fixed cell guides 7 are erected on one side wall in the width direction of the hold 2, corresponding to each corner of one side end of the large and small containers 1 and 4 to be loaded. This fixed cell guide 7 is similar to a conventional fixed cell guide, and is a member having an L-shaped cross section that matches the corners of the containers 1 and 4. Even if the large and small containers 1 and 4 have different standards, they only differ in length in the longitudinal direction and have the same depth, so the installation interval of the fixed cell guides 7 is the same as before, and each pair of containers 1 and 4 support.
