Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage facility for storing heavy objects such as molds and jigs which can be loaded and unloaded as needed and which are used for transportation using an overhead crane. It is a thing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a facility of this kind, for example, a heavy load storage facility disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-38162 is provided. In this conventional configuration, a drawer that can be pulled out and pushed into the rack is provided to form a plurality of storage portions in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. Then, with the front half of the drawer being pulled out, a heavy load is delivered to the drawer by a hoist.

However, according to this conventional type, the heavy object (drawer) cannot be completely pulled out from the rack, and therefore the hoist is acted obliquely from above, requiring manual work by the operator. Manual work is dangerous.

[0004] In contrast, there is considered a structure in which an elevating body is provided on the front side of the rack, and a fork body that can be retracted and retracted from the storage section is provided on the elevating body. according to this,
By the combined operation of the ascending / descending movement of the ascending / descending body and the withdrawal / retraction of the fork, the stored object can be completely pulled out from the rack and the hoist can be acted from directly above. However, since the loading / unloading device such as the lifting body acts on the vertical row, the loading / unloading device must be arranged for each of the horizontal rows, and the whole becomes expensive.

Therefore, as seen in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-42505, a shelf having a plurality of compartment storage spaces in the vertical and horizontal directions, and a traveling device movable along the shelf in front of the shelf. It is conceivable that heavy goods will be stored by an automatic warehouse facility composed of. In this case, the traveling device has a pair of front and rear posts, and an elevating table that is guided by these posts and is capable of moving up and down is provided with a load transfer tool that can freely move in and out in the lateral direction. The traveling device is supported and guided by the floor rail, and the upper frame provided between the upper ends of both posts is guided by the ceiling rail.

[0006] When such a conventional type is adopted for storing heavy goods, a common load delivery tool can be used for the left and right rows of the compartment storage space by traveling of the traveling device.
The whole structure can be made inexpensive, and since the traveling device is guided by the floor rails and the ceiling rails, it is possible to safely carry out work in and out and to run without rolling.

[0007]

However, according to the above-mentioned automatic warehouse type, the ceiling rail and the upper frame located directly above the traveling device interfere with each other, and the cargo delivery is retreated into the elevator. The overhead crane cannot act on the fixture from directly above. For this purpose, it is possible to use a loading / unloading area provided on the outside of the end of the shelf and open at the upper side, but in this case, a cycle such as the traveling movement of the traveling device is involved and efficient work is performed. Can not be done.

[0008] Also, by removing one of the shelves arranged side by side and causing the load transfer tool to project toward this deletion side, it is possible to operate the overhead crane from directly above while avoiding the ceiling rail and upper frame. Since it is necessary to secure a working space (dead space) over the entire length of the shelf, the whole cannot be economically installed.

The object of the present invention is to store and operate the overhead crane from directly above without securing a dead space, while being able to safely carry out work in and out and to run without rolling. The point is to provide facilities.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the storage equipment of the present invention comprises a shelf having a plurality of storage spaces in the horizontal direction, and a loading / unloading device movable along the shelf in front of the shelf. A storage facility having:
A machine body supported and guided by the floor rail, a post standing upright from the machine body, and a carriage having a loading / unloading tool that is guided by the post and is vertically movable and retractable in the left and right directions.
The upper frame is continuously arranged from the upper part of the post so as to be located above the shelf, and the post is eccentric to the shelf side with respect to the home position position of the loading / unloading tool retracted into the carriage. An upper rail that stands upright and supports and guides the upper frame is provided on the shelf side.

[0011]

According to the structure of the present invention, the object to be stored in the intended storage space is obtained by the combined operation of the traveling movement of the machine body, the vertical movement of the carriage, and the horizontal movement of the loading / unloading tool. Can be taken in and out. At this time, since the machine body is supported and guided by the floor rails and the upper frame is guided by the upper rails, the loading / unloading device can perform the loading / unloading work and traveling without causing lateral rolling.

By connecting the upper frame continuously from the upper part of the post to the upper part of the shelf, the upper part of the carriage can be completely opened, so that the overhead crane can be installed directly above the loading / unloading tool retracted in the carriage. Can act from. Further, since the post is eccentric to the shelf position with respect to the home position of the loading / unloading device, the front-rear direction interference portion of the post can be located on the shelf side, which allows the front-back direction in a wide range on the side away from the shelf. However, since it is opened, the overhead crane can more easily act on the access tool.

[0013]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The shelf 1 has columns 2 standing upright at predetermined intervals in the front-rear direction and the horizontal direction, and the columns 2 in the front-rear direction.
The space between the horizontal members 3 located between the upper end portions and between the lower end portions,
The diagonal members 4 are connected and fixed to each other. Further, the columns 2 in the horizontal direction are connected and fixed to each other at predetermined positions on the front surface and the back surface of the shelf 1 by lateral beams 5 continuous in the lateral direction, and at that time, the connection is made by bolts or rivets. On the back side of the shelf 1, braces 6 are attached in a cross shape between the columns 2 and the lateral beams 5.

Each of the columns 2 is provided with armrest devices 7 which horizontally project toward the left and right columns 2, respectively, between the columns 2 facing each other in the front-rear direction. Then, the plate-like object 12 is configured to be supported via the pallet 11 between the left and right arm device 7. Further, a seating member 13 is attached to the lower end of the column 2. A storage space 14 is formed between the upper and lower sides of the arm device 7.

A passage 15 is provided in front of the shelf 1 thus constructed.
In the passage 15, there is provided a loading / unloading device 20 supported by a floor rail 16 and movable along a fixed path 17 along the shelf 1.

That is, the loading / unloading device 20 is the floor rail.
The machine body 22 supported and guided by the wheels 16 on the 16 and this machine body
A pair of posts 23 standing up and down from the front and rear of 22, a carriage 24 that can be raised and lowered by being guided by these posts 23, and a loading and unloading tool (fork) 25 provided on the carriage 24 so as to be able to move in and out in the left and right directions, It is composed of an upper frame 26 which is continuously provided from the upper portions of both posts 23 so as to be located above the shelf 1. The upper frame 26 is composed of right and left members 27 which are vertically connected from the upper ends of both posts 23 to above the shelf 1, and front and rear members 28 which connect the free ends of the left and right members 27.

Here, the post 23 corresponds to the carriage 24.
Home position position O of the loading / unloading device 25 that has moved in and out
On the other hand, it is erected on the side of the shelf 1 with a predetermined distance L eccentric. That is, most of the loading / unloading device 20 except the loading / unloading tool 25 and the floor rail 16 are arranged on the shelf 1 side with respect to the home position O.

An upper rail 18 is provided along the fixed path 17 on the upper surface of the shelf 1 and near the passage 15, and rollers 29 guided by the upper rail 18 are arranged in front of and behind the upper frame 26. It is provided on the material 28. An overhead crane 30 is arranged above the storage facility configured in this way, and in this overhead crane 30, the suspension part 31 has the above-mentioned fixed path.
It is configured to move along 17.

In the storage facility constructed as described above, the traveling movement of the machine body 22, the raising and lowering movement of the carriage 24,
The object 12 can be put in and taken out of the target storage space 14 by a combined operation of the putting-out tool 20 in the horizontal direction. At this time, the machine body 22 is supported and guided by the floor rail 16 via the wheels 21, and the upper frame 26 is guided by the upper rail 18 via the rollers 29. It is possible to carry out work and running without moving.

Here, the upper frame 26 of the loading / unloading device 20
Since the left and right members 27 are connected to the upper side of the posts 23 at right angles from the upper ends of the posts 23, the upper side of the carriage 24 is completely opened. Therefore, the suspending portion 31 of the overhead crane 30 can be acted on the loading / unloading tool 25 that has been moved into and out of the carriage 24 from directly above, so that the stored items 12 can be placed on the loading / unloading tool 25 by the overhead crane 30. The object 12 to be stored on the loading / unloading device 25 can be lifted by the overhead crane 30.

Further, since the post 23 is eccentric to the shelf 1 side with respect to the home position position O of the loading / unloading tool 25 by a predetermined distance L, the front-back interference portion of the post 23 can be located on the shelf 1 side. Thus, since the wide range on the side away from the shelf 1 is opened in the front-back direction, the suspending portion 31 of the overhead crane 30 can more easily act on the loading / unloading tool 25.

In the above-described embodiment, the shelf 1 has a type having a plurality of storage spaces 14 in the vertical direction, but it may be a shelf 1 having a single storage space 14 in the vertical direction. Further, although the form including the two posts 23 and one carriage 24 is shown as the loading / unloading device 20, this is a loading / unloading device 20 including three (plural) posts 23 and two (plural) carriages 24. Alternatively, the loading / unloading device 20 may include one post 23 and one carriage 24.

[0023]
