圖4A為下容器40的俯視圖,圖4B為下容器40的仰視圖,圖4C為下容器40的前視圖。圖5為圖4A中之D-D剖面圖的中心縱剖面圖。
4A is a top view of the
如圖4A、圖4B及圖4C所示般,下容器40係具有:底部41、前壁部43a、後壁部43b、及左右的各側壁部43c、43d。
As shown in FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C, the
如圖4A所示般,底部41的上表面係具有:貫通上下方向而形成之大致矩形的開口部42、在開口部42的周圍朝上方突出的突出部50、以及在突出部50的左右方向外側比突出部50還高地突出,且沿著前後方向設置的導引突部45。
As shown in FIG. 4A, the upper surface of the
如圖4B所示般,底部41的底面係具有:開口部42、與上表面的突出部50對應之凹陷的突出部50b。且,於底部41的底面,設有沿著前後方向的縱肋部51、以及沿著左右方向的橫肋部52。且,包圍突出部50b周圍之形狀的周肋部53,係朝下方突出而形成,該周肋部53的一部分,係成為縱肋部51及橫肋部52。
As shown in FIG. 4B, the bottom surface of the
如圖4C所示般,前壁部43a係具有:朝前後方向貫通而形成之橫長形狀的托盤***部44、在托盤***部44的上方朝前後方向凹陷的上側凹部54、以及在托盤***部44的下方朝前後方向凹陷的下側凹部55。
As shown in FIG. 4C, the
左右的各側壁部43c、43d,係由彎曲的曲面所形成,為從下方朝向上方擴張的形狀(參照圖4C)。
The left and right
後壁部43b,係由與側壁部43c、43d同樣地彎曲的曲面所形成,且在下容器40的內側具有朝前方突出的2個停止構件46。
The
此外,前壁部43a、後壁部43b、及左右的各側壁部43c、43d的上端,係形成有將下容器40之上方的外緣予以包圍一周之形狀的外緣框49。
In addition, at the upper ends of the
針對具有上述般構造之下容器的優點,以下進行詳細說明。 The advantages of the container having the above-mentioned structure will be described in detail below.
如圖4A及圖5所示般,底部41之上表面的突出部50,係具有大致矩形的外緣,為朝上方突出的區域,且包圍開口部42的周圍。且,與突出部50對應之底面的突出部50b,係對應於突出部50的突出,而成為朝上方凹陷的形狀。藉由設置突出部50及突出部50b,可提昇底部50的強度。
As shown in FIGS. 4A and 5, the protruding
如圖4A及圖5所示般,底部41的2個導引突部45,係在突出部50的左右方向外側形成為大致平行。此時,導引突部45之上方向的高度,係比突出部50的高度還高。在將托盤30從托盤***部44***時,托盤30,係一邊被2個導引突部45限制左右方向的移動,一邊可在2個導引突部45之間往前後方向移動。2個導引突部45,係用來抑制托盤30從導引突部45往外側的移動。且,2個導引突部45間之左右方向的距離,係設定
成比托盤30之左右方向的長度還長。因此,從托盤***部44所***的托盤30,可在下容器40內滑順地移動。圖3C,係表示將托盤30***至下容器40之左右方向中央時的狀態。
As shown in FIGS. 4A and 5, the two
如圖4B及圖5所示般,底部41之底面的縱肋部51,係朝下方突出的突部。縱肋部51,係設在突出部50b之外側的肋部,為沿著前後方向形成且靠左右方向外側的凸形狀。且,縱肋部51之前後方向的長度,係與托盤支撐部48(後述)之前後方向的長度幾乎相同長度。
As shown in FIGS. 4B and 5, the
如圖4B所示般,底面的橫肋部52,係設在前方及後方,與縱肋部51同樣為朝下方突出的突部,且突出與縱肋部51相同的高度。橫肋部52之左右方向的長度,係與開口部42之左右方向的長度幾乎相同,橫肋部52係靠前後方向外側的凸形狀。前方的橫肋部52,係形成在開口部42與托盤***部44之間。由於在前壁部43a形成有托盤***部44,故有著強度比其他部分還差之虞,但藉由在開口部42與托盤***部44之間形成橫肋部52,可提高下容器40的補強效果,可減少下容器40的變形。且,有鑑於係透過托盤***部44進行托盤30的***及抽出,故抑制前壁部43a之變形的必要性非常高。
As shown in FIG. 4B, the
且,如前述般,周肋部53的一部分係成為縱肋部51及橫肋部52,故周肋部53的突出高度,係與縱肋部51和橫肋部52相同。
In addition, as described above, a part of the
圖6為對下容器40的底面進行說明的圖。圖6的斜線區域,係表示下容器40之底面的平面部P。在沒有設置包含縱肋部51及橫肋部52之周肋部53的情況,該平面部P係與動物用便器1的設置面接觸。亦即,藉由設置包含縱肋部51及橫肋部52的周肋部53,可使下容器40的平面部P不與動物用便器1的設置面接觸。
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the bottom surface of the
且,平面部P之左右方向的邊緣,係靠外側為凸形狀。此外,縱肋部51亦沿著平面部P的邊緣形成於平面部P,且與平面部P同樣地係靠外側為凸形狀。此時,縱肋部51,係形成在比平面部P的邊緣還靠內側。如此一來,可使動物用便器1更加穩定。且,橫肋部52、周肋部53亦可為沿著平面部P的形狀。
In addition, the left-right edge of the plane portion P has a convex shape on the outer side. In addition, the
如圖4C及圖5所示般,前壁部43a的托盤***部44,係於下容器40的左右方向中央,為了將托盤30從前方***而貫通前後方向來形成。托盤***部44之左右方向的長度,及上下方向的高度,係形成為比托盤30的大小還要稍大,而不會對托盤30的***及抽出產生阻礙。
As shown in FIGS. 4C and 5, the
如圖4C及圖5所示般,上側凹部54,係在下容器40的左右方向中央,且在托盤***部44的上方,朝前後方向凹陷的部分。上側凹部54,在沿著前後方向從前方觀看的情況,成為如同將橢圓形切半的形狀。於前後方向凹陷的區域,係形成為曲面。藉由設置上述般的上側凹部54,可提昇下容器40的補強效果。且,在作業者
抽出托盤30時,作業者可從把手部31的上方將手伸入,可提昇作業效率。
As shown in FIGS. 4C and 5, the upper
如圖4B及圖5所示般,下側凹部55,係在下容器40的左右方向中央,且在托盤***部44的下方,朝前後方向凹陷的部分。下側凹部55的凹陷區域,係形成為大致平面。將下側凹部55之位在最後方的部分作為下側凹部的後端55b。此時,如圖4B所示般,貫通形成有托盤***部44的部分,係比下側凹部55的後端55b還要於前後方向形成在更前方。
As shown in FIGS. 4B and 5, the lower
藉此,可提昇下容器40的補強效果。
Thereby, the reinforcing effect of the
且,在下容器40之托盤***部44的上方,於上側凹部54之下端之左右方向的兩側,沿著前後方向設有頂壁56a、56b。頂壁56a之左右方向的距離,係從上側凹部54的左端部到托盤***部44的左側端部為止的長度,頂壁56b之左右方向的距離,係從上側凹部54的右端部到托盤***部44的右側端部為止的長度。頂壁56a、56b的上表面及下表面,係與動物用便器1的設置面大致平行,且具有平坦的面。藉由具有頂壁56a、56b,可提高下容器40的補強效果,特別是可減少前壁部43a的變形。
Further, above the
此時,上側凹部54的後端之上側凹部54於前後方向最凹陷的部分,係設在比頂壁56a、56b的後端還要前方(圖4A)。藉此,可更進一步提高下容器40的補強效果。
At this time, the portion of the upper
如圖4A及圖5所示般,後壁部43b的停止構件46,係在左右方向設置在2個導引突部45之間。停止構件46,係在上下方向中,比突出部50還要高,且比突出部50與托盤30之上下方向的高度總和還要低。在***托盤30,且托盤30的後端與停止構件46接觸時,停止構件46係抑制托盤30往更後方的移動。其結果,可將托盤30收納在下容器40內的正確位置。
As shown in FIGS. 4A and 5, the
以下,針對從上容器20及托盤30對下容器40所施加的負重進行說明。
Hereinafter, the load applied to the
圖7為圖3C的左半部擴大圖。如圖3及圖7所示般,上容器20與托盤30,係沒有接觸,故可防止上容器20的負重與托盤30的負重施加於下容器40的同個部分所導致之下容器40的變形等。
7 is an enlarged view of the left half of FIG. 3C. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the
如圖3B、圖3C、及圖7所示般,下容器40支撐上容器20,且上容器20的負重係從上容器負重部24施加於上容器支撐部47。上容器支撐部47,係下容器40之外緣框49的上表面,為平坦的面。上容器支撐部47,係遍及下容器40之上方的外緣一周,而與上容器負重部24接觸,來支撐上容器20的負重。
As shown in FIGS. 3B, 3C, and 7, the
下容器40,亦支撐托盤30。托盤30的負重,係從底突起部33的底面施加於托盤支撐部48。且,用來支撐托盤30的托盤支撐部48,係使突出部50與底突起部33接觸的部分,為圖4A的虛線區域。
The
此時,如圖7所示般,在左右方向中,縱肋
部51係設在上容器支撐部47與托盤支撐部48之間。
且,圖3C,係圖3A的B-B剖面圖,且為前後方向之中央位置的剖面圖,縱肋部51,係在左右方向設在導引突部45的外側。
At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, in the left-right direction, the longitudinal ribs
The
且,該上容器支撐部47、托盤支撐部48、縱肋部51之間的位置關係,係即使托盤30在2個導引突部45間於左右方向移動的情況亦相同。圖8A為托盤30靠最左邊之狀態之中心橫剖面圖的左半部擴大圖,圖8B為托盤30靠最右邊之狀態之中心橫剖面圖的左半部擴大圖。
In addition, the positional relationship between the upper
如圖8A所示般,在托盤30靠最左邊的狀態,托盤30的左側端部係與左側導引突部45接觸的狀態。此時,縱肋部51係在左右方向中,設在上容器支撐部47與托盤支撐部48之間。
As shown in FIG. 8A, in the state where the
同樣地,如圖8B所示般,在托盤30靠最右邊的狀態,托盤30的右側端部係與右側的導引突部45接觸。此時縱肋部51亦在左右方向中,設在上容器支撐部47與托盤支撐部48之間。
Similarly, as shown in FIG. 8B, in the state where the
由於成為上述般的構造,在左右方向上,即使是托盤30往左右方向移動的情況,亦可抑制因上容器20的負重及托盤30的負重所致之下容器40的變形。
Due to the above-described structure, even if the
即使,例如在托盤30往左右方向移動的狀態中,縱肋部51配置在比上容器支撐部47及托盤支撐部48還要內側之構造的情況,會對以縱肋部51為基準之左
右方向的外側施加上容器20的負重及托盤30的負重。
Even if, for example, in a state where the
相對於此,根據本實施形態的構造,即使是在托盤30於左右方向移動的狀態中,會對以縱肋部51為基準之左右方向的兩側分配施加上容器20的負重及托盤30的負重,而抑制下容器40的變形。
In contrast, according to the structure of the present embodiment, even in the state where the
且,針對縱肋部51之左右方向的位置,使用圖3A中之B-B剖面圖的中心橫剖面圖進行了說明,但並不限於B-B剖面,縱肋部51,即使是在托盤30靠最左邊或右邊的狀態中,亦在左右方向上被設在上容器支撐部47與托盤支撐部48之間。例如,針對圖3A中的E-E剖面或F-F剖面也一樣,在托盤30位在左右方向中央的狀態、以及托盤30靠最左邊或右邊的狀態中,縱肋部51係被設置在上容器支撐部47與托盤支撐部48之間。
Furthermore, the position of the
此外,如圖3C所示般,在前後方向之中央位置的剖面(圖3A的B-B剖面)中,縱肋部51係於左右方向形成於導引突部45的外側。藉此,相較於使縱肋部51設在比導引突部45靠左右方向的內側或相同位置的情況,可抑制因上容器20的負重及托盤30的負重所致之下容器40的變形。
In addition, as shown in FIG. 3C, in the cross section at the center position in the front-rear direction (B-B cross section in FIG. 3A ), the
作為外罩10、上容器20、托盤30、及下容器40的素材例,可舉出聚乙烯(PE)、聚丙烯(PP)、及聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)等之聚烯烴系的熱可塑性樹脂,但並不限定於此。例如,亦可為該等以外的樹脂、或不鏽鋼或鋁等之金屬。
