Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cutting tool storage container, and more particularly to a cutting tool storage container capable of reducing complicated work involved in providing identification information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When selling cutting tools such as drills and milling tools, when transporting or storing such cutting tools, sharp cutting edges prevent operator injuries and cutting due to contact between tools. It is also necessary to prevent blade damage. Therefore, the cutting tools are generally stored individually in storage containers for cutting tools (hereinafter referred to as "containers"), and are generally sold (that is, transported, stored, etc.) in such a state. is there.

Here, a conventional container 100 will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, the container 100 includes a main body 100a and a lid 100b which are formed in a substantially hollow cylindrical shape.
Since the main body 100a is formed to have an outer shape slightly smaller than the lid 100b, the container 100 can be closed by fitting the lid 100b to the main body 100.
As a result, the drill 101 can be housed in the container 100.

By the way, as a method of identifying the container 100, as shown in FIG.
Label 102 printed with the specifications (identification information) of the container 1
The method of sticking to No. 00 is generally used. The label 102 is printed with tool specifications such as the material, size, and serial number of the drill 101, the manufacturer's name, and the like by various printing techniques, and the container 1 is formed by an adhesive layer formed on the back surface.
Affixed to 00. For example, a tool maker carries out inventory management, shipping management, etc. by recognizing the print contents of the label 102, and sales management etc. is carried out by a dealer.

[0005]

However, the above-described conventional container 100 has a problem that the cost is increased accordingly because a large number of man-hours are required for the step of attaching the label 102.

Further, when the label 102 is out of stock, the shipping of tools is interrupted, so that there is a problem that it is necessary to always secure the stock of the label 102. Generally, there are very different types of cutting tools, for example, only different nominal sizes, and in consideration of all the tool materials, shapes, etc., a huge number of types of labels 102 must be stocked and managed.

Further, in the conventional container 100, for some reason, for example, an inadvertent act of a worker during transportation,
There has been a problem that the attached label 102 is peeled off due to time deterioration of the adhesive layer of the label 102 or the like. When the label 102 is peeled off, it becomes impossible to recognize the identification information regarding the container 100. Therefore, what is contained in each container 100 is confirmed unless the container 100 is opened again. Cannot be done, and as a result, useless work is caused.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a storage container for a cutting tool, which can reduce the complicated work involved in providing identification information.

[0014]

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a top view of a cutting tool storage container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The storage container 1 for cutting tools is a container used for the purpose of transporting and storing cutting tools (not shown), and is formed in a substantially box shape using a resin material. The storage container 1 for cutting tools in this embodiment has five storage parts 1.
a) to 1e are provided, and one is provided in each of the storage units 1a to 1e, so that a total of five cutting tools can be individually stored. The cutting tools include drill, bite, milling cutter, end mill, reamer,
Examples are taps and chips.

The accommodating portions 1a to 1e are integrally formed by mutually adjoining ones being connected to each other by the container connecting member 3 and the lid connecting member 5. Therefore, the storage container 1 for cutting tools can store five cutting tools collectively, and cuts the container connection member 3 and the lid connection member 5 to separate the storage parts 1a to 1e. You can also divide it.

The upper surface of the storage container 1 for cutting tools (see FIG. 1)
Identification information 11 is displayed for each of the storage units 1a to 1e on the front side of the paper surface. The identification information 11 is for identifying and managing the cutting tool storage container 1, and includes character information 11a, pattern information 11b, and barcode information 11c.
It consists of and.

The character information 11a is displayed for the purpose of making the person who sees it understand as it is,
It is information represented by letters, numbers, symbols, and the like. For example, type of cutting tool (for example, "drill", "end mill", etc.), material (for example, "high speed steel", "cemented carbide")
Etc.), nominal dimensions (for example, “M10 × 1.5”, etc.), cutting tool specifications, and information such as control number, model number, manufacturer name, and manufacturer number. Similarly, the symbol information 11b is information represented by a symbol, a pattern or the like, and for example, a manufacturer's mark or the like is exemplified.

On the other hand, the bar code information 11c is displayed for the purpose of mechanical processing, and is information represented by a one-dimensional bar code. Therefore, a large amount of information can be efficiently displayed in a limited space, and while the reading device (bar code reader) is used to read with a high false recognition rate, the read information can be processed mechanically at high speed. Therefore, a large amount of information can be processed quickly and accurately.

Further, the bar code information 11c has high security because the information to be displayed can be encrypted. Therefore, even information that could not be displayed by the character information 11a in the related art (for example, secret information unique to the manufacturer) can be displayed after being encrypted.

Examples of the information displayed by the bar code information 11c include information uniquely used by the manufacturer and sales management information used by the dealer. For example, in a store, necessary information is read from the barcode information 11c using a barcode reader at the time of over-the-counter sales and sorting, and the read information is mechanically tabulated,
Can be managed. As a result, it is possible to easily and efficiently perform the identification management of the cutting tool (the cutting tool storage container 1) of which a huge variety exists due to the difference in the nominal size.

As the bar code, it is preferable to use a standardized and generally used code from the viewpoint of device cost. For example, JAN (EAN / UP
C) code, ITF code, CODE39, CODAB
AR (NW-7) and the like. However, a unique barcode may be used. Alternatively, a two-dimensional code (two-dimensional symbol code) may be used. For example, a QR code, a PDF417, a Veri code, a maxi code, or the like. By using these, a larger amount of information can be given to the identification information 11 (barcode information 11c).

Here, the identification information 11 is directly written on the outer surface of the cutting tool container 1 by irradiation of laser light (so-called laser marking). Therefore, it is possible to omit the labor of attaching the label, which was necessary in the conventional container for cutting tools,
There is no need to stock and manage the labels for sticking. Also, since such a label will not fall off and the type of cutting tool stored will not be recognizable,
It is possible to avoid useless work such as opening the storage container for each cutting tool in order to confirm the stored items.

Further, according to the laser marking, the identification information 11 can be written at a high speed and the contents of the identification information 11 can be easily changed, so that a large number of orders are suddenly generated. Can be flexibly dealt with, and work costs and running costs can be reduced. The details of the method of writing the identification information 11 (laser marking) will be described later.

FIG. 2 is a side view of the cutting tool storage container 1 viewed from the direction of arrow II in FIG. 1, and FIG. 2A shows a state in which the lid member 4 is closed, and FIG. ) Indicates a state in which the lid member 4 is opened. In addition, FIG.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the cutting tool storage container 1 taken along line III-III in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the storage container 1 for cutting tools has five storage portions 1a formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape.

The container connecting member 3, the lid member 4, the lid connecting member 5 and the like are provided. In this embodiment, the drill 6 will be used as the cutting tool to be stored.

The container member 2 is formed of a resin material or the like into a substantially hollow box-shaped body, and the upper side thereof (the upper side of FIGS. 2 and 3).
Is open to accommodate the drill 6 in the container member 2. Five container members 2 are arranged at substantially equal intervals while pointing in the same direction. These adjacent container members 2 are connected to each other by a container connecting member 3 and are integrally formed.

Here, as the resin material forming the container member 2 (and the container connecting member 3), for example, in addition to polypropylene (PP), acrylic resin, polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene ( P
E), polyamide (PA), polyvinyl chloride (PV
C), acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene (AB
S), epoxy resin (EP), phenolic resin (P
F), methylpentene polymer, tetrafluoroethylene / perfluoroalkoxyethylene copolymer (PF
A), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyetherimide (PEI), polyetheretherketone (PEE)
K), polyester elastomers, etc. can be used. The same applies to the lid member 4 (and the lid connecting member 5) described later.

The resin material of the container member 2 (and the container connecting member 3) is a transparent or translucent resin material having a light-transmitting property so that the presence or absence of the stored cutting tool can be visually recognized. Is preferably selected.

The lid member 4 is a member that is provided on the open portion of the container member 2 and covers the drill 6 together with the container member 2, and is formed separately from the container member 2. The lid member 4 is made of the above-mentioned resin material or the like in a substantially thin plate shape, and five lid members 4 are provided corresponding to the container member 2. These adjacent lid body members 4 are connected to each other by a lid body connecting member 5 and are integrally formed. In addition,
The above-described identification information 11 is directly written on the upper surface (upper side of FIGS. 2 and 3) of the lid member 4 by irradiation with laser light.

At both ends (left and right sides in FIG. 2) of the lid member 4,
Locking members 8 and 9 are provided, respectively. The locking members 8 and 9 are members for mounting the lid member 4 on the container member 2, and are formed in a shape capable of locking the ends of the container member 2. That is, the locking members 8 and 9 are formed by a known technique in which the end portion of the container member 2 is detachably locked and fixed by utilizing the elastic deformation thereof. Therefore, the lid member 4 is detachably attached to the container member 2 by the action of the locking members 8 and 9.

At the end of the lid member 4 on the side of the locking member 8 (right side in FIG. 2), a handle member 10 is disposed so as to project outward from the end surface (right side in FIG. 2) of the container member 2. Handle member 1
Reference numeral 0 is a portion used when opening the lid member 4. That is, by pushing the handle member 10 upward (upper side in FIG. 2), the locking and fixing by the locking member 9 (left side in FIG. 2) is maintained, but only by the locking member 8 (right side in FIG. 2). 2 can be reliably released, and as a result, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), the lid member 4 can be easily opened.

The lower surface side of the lid member 4 (see FIGS. 2 and 3)
Two brackets 7 are arranged on the lower side. The bracket 7 is a member for holding the drill 6,
As shown in FIG. 2 (b), they are arranged so as to face each other with a predetermined space therebetween, and an arc-shaped concave portion is formed on one end side thereof, as shown in FIG. 3. Therefore, drill 6
When storing the tool in the cutting tool storage container 1, use the drill 6
Can be gripped in the arcuate recess of the bracket 7, so that the stored drill 6 can be stably transported without rattling (see FIG. 3).

Here, when the drill 6 held by the bracket 7 is taken out from the cutting tool storage container 1, as shown in FIG.
As shown in, while holding the container member 2 with one hand, the other hand simultaneously holds the ends of the lid member 4 and the drill 6. Then, by bending the lid member 4 held together with the drill 6 so that the bracket 7 side is convex, the gripping of the drill 6 by the bracket 7 is released, as shown in FIG. As a result, it is possible to easily remove the drill 6 from the bracket 7 while avoiding the risk of injury due to the cutting edge of the drill 6.

Next, a method of storing a cutting tool in the cutting tool container 1 will be described with reference to FIG. Figure 5
1 is a perspective view of a storage container 1 for a cutting tool, and a container member 2
It is the figure which showed the mounting process which mounts the lid member 4 on. Note that, in FIG. 5, in order to facilitate understanding, the respective adjacent intervals of the container member 2 and the lid member 4 are illustrated in a wider state than in other drawings.

When the cutting tool (drill 6) is stored in the cutting tool storage container 1, first, as shown in FIG.
The drill 6 is held by the bracket 7 of each lid member 4. After gripping the drill 6, the lid member 4 is attached to the container member 2. That is, the open surface side of the container member 2 faces the bracket 7 side of the lid member 4 (see FIG. 5), and the container member 2 is moved to the lid member 4 side. Lid member 4
The container member 2 abutted on is locked and fixed by the locking members 8 and 9 provided on each lid member 4, and the lid member 4 is mounted on the container member 2. As a result, the five drills 6 are individually gripped by the brackets 7 of the lid member 4 and stored independently in the respective storage units 1a to 1e of the cutting tool storage container 1 (see FIG. 3). ). As described above, by configuring the container member 2 and the lid member 4 separately, it is possible to efficiently perform the storage step of storing the drill 6 in the cutting tool storage container 1.

Next, a writing method (laser marking) for writing the identification information 11 in the cutting tool storage container 1 will be described. In this embodiment, the identification information 11
As shown in FIG. 1, the upper surface of the cutting tool storage container 1 (lid member 4) was laser-marked.

The identification information 11 written in each of the storage units 1a to 1e does not have to be the same, and may be different from each other. Also, all the storage units 1a
It is not necessary to write the identification information 11 in 1e, and 1 or 2
The identification information 11 may be written only in the above specific storage section. Alternatively, in a state of straddling each of the storage sections 1a to 1e, that is, on the entire upper surface of the storage container 1 for cutting tools,
The identification information 11 may be written.

Two methods were used for laser marking the identification information 11. Therefore, in this embodiment,
First, the first of the two methods used will be described. In the first method, the lid member 4 is made of a light-colored resin material, a dark-colored coating material is applied to the surface thereof, dried and baked, and then the coating material portion is removed by irradiation with a laser beam. By removing the paint portion, the contrast between the dark color portion and the light color portion can be formed on the surface of the lid member 4, and the identification information 11 is written using this.

Details of the laser marking device used are as follows: laser type: YAG laser, laser wavelength: 1064 nm, laser capacity: 50 W, writing speed:
It is 0.5 mm / s to 200 mm / s. Further, white polypropylene (PP) was used as the resin material of the lid member 4, and a black paint was applied to the surface thereof.

According to the above-described mode, the identification information 11 is written by irradiating the outer surface of the lid member 4 with a laser beam. The approximate size of the writing space of the lid member 4 is 8 mm × 50 mm
In this writing space, character information 1 with a height of approximately 2 mm
1a, symbol information 11b having a height of about 4.5 mm, and about 6 m
Bar code information 11c having a size of m × 25 mm was written (see FIG. 1).

As a result, the identification information 11 having clear edges and high contrast could be written. In addition,
As a result of reading the bar code information 11c with a reading device (commercially available bar code reader), the bar code information 11c could be read without any problem, and the contents of the written information were not erroneously recognized. Further, the character information 11a and the pattern information 11
Also in b, it had sufficient readability.

Although the cover member 4 is constructed such that the black coating material is applied to the white base material, the color combination of the base material and the coating material is reversed, and for example, the black base material is coated with the white coating material. It may be applied. Also, the color combination of the base material and the paint is not limited to white and black, but other colors (for example, gray)
It is of course possible to use However, it is not preferable to use an intermediate color (for example, blue). When the intermediate color is used, the identification information 11 having a clear edge and contrast cannot be obtained, and as a result, the misrecognition rate of the bar code information 11c is deteriorated and the reading operation by the reading device is performed. Because it becomes impossible.

Next, the second method regarding the laser marking of the identification information 11 will be described. The second method is
The lid member 4 is made of a resin material containing a heating element, and the surface of the lid member 4 is irradiated with laser light to heat the heating element. By foaming and carbonizing the resin around the heating element, it is possible to form light and shade on the surface of the lid member 4, and the identification information 11 is written using this.

The detailed specifications of the used laser marking device and the approximate size of the writing space (size of the identification information 11) of the lid member 4 are the same as those in the first method described above. Further, polypropylene (PP) was used as the resin material of the lid member 4, and Si was contained as a heating element in an amount of 0.4% by weight.

As a result, similarly to the first method, the identification information 11 having clear edges and high contrast could be written. The character information 11a and the pattern information 11
b has sufficient readability, and the bar code information 11c could be read by a reading device (commercial bar code reader) without any problem.

When the identification information 11 is laser-marked by the second method, not only polypropylene (PP) but also tetrafluoroethylene / perfluoroalkoxyethylene copolymer can be used as the resin material of the lid member 4. (PFA), polybutylene terephthalate (PB
T), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), polyetherimide (PEI),
It is preferable to use polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyester-based elastomer or the like.

It is preferable that these resin materials have a light color tone in order to write the bar code information 11c which is more excellent in reading accuracy. This makes it possible to obtain the identification information 11 with a clear edge and higher contrast. The color tone of the resin material is more preferably white.

As the heating element contained in the resin material, in addition to Si, Ca, Na, K, C, Ti, A
1, Mg, etc. can be used. The content rate of the heating element is preferably 0.0001% by weight to 0.5% by weight, more preferably 0.3% by weight to 0.5% by weight. It should be noted that these heating elements may contain only one kind, or may contain two or more kinds in combination.

The present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
It can be easily inferred that various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, in this embodiment, five storage parts 1a are provided.
Although the storage container 1 for cutting tools including 1 to 1e has been described as an example, the number of storage portions may be 4 or less, or 6 or more. That is, it may be provided with only one storage part like a conventional storage container for cutting tools. However, the number of such storage units is a multiple of 5, that is, in consideration of convenience such as management of the number of cutting tools to be stored,
It is preferably 5, 10, 15, ..., And more preferably a multiple of 10.

Although the container member 2 and the lid member 4 are formed as separate members, they may be integrally formed.
The configuration may be such that the connecting members (the container connecting member 3 and the lid connecting member 5) that connect the respective storage units are not provided. That is, although a plurality of storage units are provided, these storage units cannot be separated.

Further, in this embodiment, each of the storage parts 1a to 1e.
Although the case where one cutting tool is stored is described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and each storage unit 1a to 1e may store two or more cutting tools. In addition,
The bracket 7 for holding the cutting tool may be omitted regardless of the number of the cutting tools stored.

Further, in the present embodiment, the identification information 11 is written in the lid member 4, but it may be written in the container member 2 instead of or in addition to this. In addition, in the present embodiment, as the identification information 11 by the laser marking, the tool specification information and the like are illustrated.
For example, it may be a warning text based on the PL law, a usage method, recycling information, or the like. Further, in addition to the identification information 11 by laser marking, it is naturally possible to further provide information to the cutting tool storage container 1 by printing or a sticking label.

[0055]

According to the cutting tool storage container of the first aspect, the cutting tool storage unit includes the identification information display section for displaying the identification information. Therefore, the cutting tool is based on the identification information displayed on the identification information display section. There is an effect that the storage container for use can be identified and managed.

The identification information displayed on the identification information display section is written in the identification information display section by irradiation with laser light. Therefore, since the identification information can be written in as much as needed when needed, there is an effect that the efficiency of providing such identification information can be improved. That is, it is possible to save the labor of attaching the label, which is necessary in the conventional container for cutting tools, and it is not necessary to stock and manage the label for attaching. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the complicated work that accompanies the provision of the identification information and to improve the efficiency of the identification information provision accordingly.

According to the cutting tool storage container described in claim 2, in addition to the effect of the cutting tool storage container according to claim 1, part or all of the identification information written in the identification information display portion is It is composed of one-dimensional barcode information or two-dimensional code information. Therefore, there is an effect that the identification information having a large amount of information can be efficiently displayed in the limited space of the cutting tool storage container. Further, since this identification information (bar code information) can be read using a reading device and the read information can be mechanically processed, a large amount of information can be processed quickly and accurately. effective. For example, in a tool maker or a store, since the identification information can be machine-processed, it is possible to prevent erroneous recognition (reading error) of the identification information by hand and improve its convenience. As a result, the cutting tool Therefore, it is possible to easily and efficiently perform the identification management of the storage container.

According to the cutting tool storage container of the third aspect, in addition to the effect of the cutting tool storage container of the first or second aspect, a plurality (n) of container members and a plurality of (corresponding thereto) members are provided. Since (n) lid members are provided, there is an effect that a plurality of (n) storage spaces can be formed by these container members and lid members. Therefore, there is an effect that a plurality of (for example, n) cutting tools can be stored in independent states by one storage container for cutting tools.

The container member and the lid member are connected to each other by the container connecting member and the lid connecting member. Therefore, there is an effect that the cutting tool storage container can be separated into an arbitrary number of one or more cutting tool storage containers by cutting the container connection member and the lid connection member. Therefore, for example, in a retail store, by separating the storage container for cutting tools into an arbitrary number, it is possible to sell an arbitrary number of cutting tools while being stored in the storage space.

Here, the identification information display portion is provided for each of the plurality of storage spaces, and the cutting tool storage container is separated for each storage space by cutting the container connecting member and the lid connecting member. Therefore, there is an effect that the storage container for cutting tools can be separated into an arbitrary number of 1 or 2 or more while holding the identification information. For example, in a retail store, a storage container for cutting tools may be installed with the identification information retained.
Or because it can be separated into any number of 2 or more,
The cutting tool can be sold using the storage container for the cutting tool on which the identification information is displayed.

Further, by providing the identification information display section for each storage space, there is an effect that different identification information can be written in each storage space. For example, even if the type (eg, nominal size) of the cutting tools stored in each storage space in one storage container for cutting tools is different, the identification information corresponding to the type of the cutting tool is written for each storage space. be able to. Therefore, even when such a cutting tool storage container is separated, it is possible to easily identify the type of cutting tool that is different for each cutting tool storage container after separation, by the identification information displayed on the cutting tool storage container. You can do it.

According to the cutting tool storage container of the fourth aspect, in addition to the effect of the cutting tool storage container of the third aspect, the identification information display part has a lid member covering the container member. In this state, the identification information is provided on the outer surface side of at least one of the container member and the lid member so that at least a part of the identification information is visible. Therefore, since it is not necessary to open the lid member from the container member when confirming the identification information, there is an effect that such confirmation work can be easily performed. On the other hand, since the identification information can be written in the identification information display portion even after the container member is covered with the lid member, that is, after the cutting tool is housed, the work efficiency of the writing work is improved. There is an effect.

According to the cutting tool storage container of the fifth aspect, in addition to the effect of the cutting tool storage container of the third or fourth aspect, the container member and the lid member are distinguished by irradiation of laser light. Since the information is composed of the writable resin material, there is an effect that the identification information can be surely written, and as a result, the written identification information can be surely read, and the identification information is erroneous. There is an effect that it can be identified without any.
