Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention has a structure in which a unit-shaped member having portability can be easily assembled at the installation site and is buried and installed underground, and can be used mainly in ordinary homes, offices, hospitals, etc. This invention relates to a unit assembly automated warehouse that stores and manages a large amount of articles that have conventionally been placed and stored indoors, and that can also be used as an emergency evacuation site for people.

Conventionally, in a typical household, there are books stored on bookshelves, seasonal clothing stored in dressers and wardrobe boxes, bedding and blankets for non-regular use in closets, and kitchen utensils, general daily necessities, and emergency supplies stored on shelves. Many household items, such as food, occupy the space in the room. This uneconomical use of indoor space is causing ordinary houses, which were originally built on narrow plots of land, to become even smaller.

On the other hand, offices that handle many office documents and books, etc.
At small product stores that sell a wide variety of parts,
The above-mentioned items occupy a large proportion of shelf space, and the current situation is that it takes a lot of effort to quickly and accurately move them in and out of trenches.

Furthermore, hospitals etc. have a large amount of medicines, blood, medical equipment, etc., which they manage, and banks have storage boxes to store important documents entrusted to them by customers, as well as safe deposit boxes for customers. It takes up valuable space. Moreover, the medicines at the above hospitals and the storage facilities at banks, etc.
Special measures are required to prevent disasters such as fire and theft.
Furthermore, in the case of fires and other disasters mentioned above, the safety of not only the above-mentioned items but also the occupants is required at the same time.

In view of the various points mentioned above, in order to make effective use of indoor space, it is conceivable to apply multi-story warehouses, which have traditionally been installed and used primarily in factories. Since the equipment is assembled, the equipment cost is enormous, and since it is generally used to store factory products, structure 1 is not applicable to the management of handling of household goods, etc., and it is installed on the ground. The main body structure is essentially different.

Therefore, the present invention enables mass production in factories and extremely simplifies installation work by creating a structure in which portable unit-like members are easily assembled at the installation site and buried and installed underground. It can be provided at a low price and can be easily installed in general homes, etc., making it possible to use indoor space widely and efficiently, and making it possible to quickly and accurately put in and take out stored items and organize and file them. We will ensure proper storage management of goods, improve disaster prevention measures against theft, fire, etc., and ensure adequate storage of supplies, and provide emergency evacuation areas for residents in case of fire or other disasters. The purpose is to provide an automated warehouse that can be used as a warehouse.

Next, regarding the control of cargo loading and unloading in the command device 13, the first
This will be explained based on FIG. FIG. 11 shows each column 4a of the luggage rack 4.
It is a shelf position diagram shown by the intersection points.

The storage crane 3, which is the first crane, is located in the first to ninth rows.
Performs horizontal movement of the column and vertical movement from the 1st stage to the 4th stage. The lifting crane 7, which is the second crane, is the first crane in the 0th row.
Move up and down from the stage to the 4th and 8th stage.

The second crane 7 performs goods delivery at addresses 0 and E, that is, the E stage point of row 0, and also performs goods delivery at addresses 0 and 4 with the first crane 3 located at addresses 1 and 4. The crane 3 delivers the goods to each address of the front row shelf and the back row shelf.

In order to carry cargo into each cargo rack 4, first the command device 13
Enter the carry-in switch and move the first crane 3 to 1 and 4.
At the same time, the second crane 7 is called to addresses 0 and E, the cargo is placed on the pedestal 8 of the second crane, and the key for the address where the cargo is stored is turned on. 7 descends to addresses 0 and 4 and transfers the load to the first crane 3 waiting there, and the transfer device 9
is activated to transfer the load to the pedestal 5 of the first crane 3.
Thereafter, the storage crane 3, which is the first crane, moves to the target address, stops in front of the target shelf 4a, and operates the gripping tool 6 to clamp or suppress the load into the shelf and push it into storage. end.

Next, to unload the cargo, first input the unloading switch and turn on the key of the address to be retrieved (for example, address 9.3 in the back row as shown in Figure 6), and the first crane 3 is activated. Then, the pedestal 5 is located in front of the address and stops. Then, the gripping tool 6 transfers the target load from the 9Φ3 address to the pull-out pedestal 5, and the first crane 3 moves laterally and stops at address 1.3, and waits to move to address 0.3 in advance. The load is transferred by the transfer tool 9 to the pedestal 8 of the second crane 7, which is currently running, and then the second crane 7 ascends to address 0-E, and the load on the pedestal 8 is transferred to the unloading unit 30 of the operating section 30. Entrance 1
This is extracted from 4.

Next, the cargo is stored in a plastic container 16 as shown in FIG. 12, placed on an L-shaped pallet 17, and carried in and out. Ordinary clothing, bedding such as blankets, kitchen utensils, daily necessities, foodstuffs, etc. are stored in the case 1 via the container 16 as described above. On the other hand, bookcases and items that are frequently taken out and taken out should be stored in the first place.
As shown in FIG. 3, it can also be housed in a space pre-framed on a pallet 17.

A linking part (not shown) is formed on the front surface of the pallet 17 to which a retractable operating lever of the gripping tool 6, which is constructed by combining cylinders and the like, is linked. Further, the gripping tool 6 and the transfer tool 9 may be constructed by attaching a suction cup or a clamping tool to the tip of a cylinder rod.

It is preferable that the pallet 17 is provided with a trochanter that engages with a guide rail in the shelf at the bottom side end of the barrette 7 so that the pallet 17 can be smoothly taken in and out of each column 4a. Further, the cargo may be stored directly on the shelf 4a without using the pallet 17 or container 16.

Reference numeral 15 in Figure 6 is a locking part provided at the top of each housing unit, which is used to lock the hook of the crane when lifting the assembled housing unit at the production factory and placing it in the trunk. It is meant to stop.

Next, in order to install the warehouse of the present invention, as shown in Fig. 14, holes i and b are made under the floor of the house, etc. to form mounting holes in the concrete wall, and the assembly and warehouse are installed in these holes at the installation site. The concrete is dropped and the surrounding gap is filled with ready-mixed concrete so that the operation part 30 is placed at a desired position in the room. As shown in FIG. 14, by raising the height of the operating section 30, the storage unit 10 can be completely buried underground.

It is also possible to simply place the article on a wall of the house, insert the operating section through the wall of the house, and carry in and out the article from the side.

For newly built houses, it is desirable to form a mounting hole 28 under the floor in advance, and for existing houses, dig a mounting hole 28 in the garden and completely bury the casing l, so that only the operating part can be removed. All you have to do is put it out on the ground and place it in an appropriate place inside the house. Installation is done in the same way in general offices, etc.

Furthermore, the operating section 30 is installed indoors through a communication hole 27 formed in the indoor floor 26, as shown in FIG.

Note that the mounting hole 28 may be a mere upper hole without performing concrete wall construction, and the storage unit 10 may be installed in this hole.
It is also possible to bury it in the soil. Alternatively, only the bottom of the storage unit 10 may be buried.

Since the unit warehouse of the present invention is configured as described above,
The warehouse of the present invention can be easily installed mainly in general homes, offices, hospitals, etc., and all kinds of items placed and stored indoors can be stored in the warehouse of the present invention, making it possible to widely and effectively utilize indoor space. In addition, the items stored in the warehouse can be automatically removed using a command device installed in the control unit installed indoors, making it easy and quick to take items in and out. It is possible to organize and file items and manage them well, and since the main body of the storage compartment is structured as a unit, mass production is possible and manufacturing costs are reduced. In principle, installation can be done by simply burying it underground, making the installation work extremely simple, making it easy to use in general homes, etc., and furthermore, the size of the warehouse can be reduced by using the housing unit as a single unit. Alternatively, by connecting a plurality of these, it is possible to freely set the structure and size as desired. Furthermore, since it is buried underground, by installing a disaster prevention lid or door inside the lifting device, it can be expected to be sufficiently effective in preventing disasters such as theft and fire. It has various effects, such as being able to be used as a temporary shelter for people to evacuate in the event of a disaster.
