Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain storage and automatic take-out of a large quantity of cargoes handled by the unit of a carton by transferring a cargo on a feed conveyor to a specified frontage of storing shelves provided with multi-layered conveyors inclined in the innermost direction, via a traveling type vertical circulation conveyor. CONSTITUTION:A cargo to be stored in the form of a carton is conveyed by means of a feed conveyor C and delivered to a vertical circulation conveyor for a traveling member B via a take-in device 9. The cargo now placed on the vertical conveyor goes up until it intersects a storing conveyor 6 on an elevator 5, which has been waiting for the cargo at the address-specified shelf of the specified layer, where the cargo is transferred over the storing conveyor 6. The cargo on the storing conveyor 6 slides down by its own weight over an inclined conveyor 1 until it is stopped by a stopper 2 for storage. Cargo discharging is carried out in the similar way as the above by means of a discharging conveyor and a side traveling member for discharging, which are not illustrated here. With this constitution, a large quantity of cargoes can be stored by the unit of a carton and transferred quickly and automatically by the unit of a carton.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a crane with a vertical circulation conveyor that directly stores large quantities of carton cases without using pallets or the like, and that automatically takes out any desired number of desired items at extremely high speed. This relates to the picking warehouse equipment used.

Conventionally, carton cases were stacked in several stages on pallets for storage, and cargo was handled in pallet units using forklifts and stacker cranes. Handling the cartons one by one from the pallet required manual labor. However, in recent years, the unit of cargo handling has become smaller, and pants)4
Instead of being number one, the number of carton cases containing one pallet or less for one type of product has increased. Therefore, it has to be processed at high speed, which is difficult. The present invention aims to provide picking warehouse equipment using a crane with a vertical circulation conveyor that solves this problem.

Among the present invention, the first inventor as set forth in claim 1 provides a storage shelf (4) having a plurality of frontage openings in the front-back direction and having multiple bars in the vertical direction, and a storage shelf (5) whose inclination is ) Traveling body (J3) configured as described in (a) below that is movable along the upstream frontage direction

Note (a) A lifting platform that can be raised and lowered along a vertically erected mast is provided, and a conveyor for storage is installed on the lifting platform, and the cargo receivers are circulated vertically at appropriate intervals without end. In addition, the container is equipped with a vertical circulation conveyor having a structure in which the cargo receiving section remains horizontal no matter where it is placed, and is equipped with a take-in device for transferring the load on the supply conveyor section to the cargo receiving section of the vertical circulation conveyor. (of the running body).

The cargo receiving section circulates endlessly in the vertical direction at appropriate intervals, and the receiving section is structured so that it remains horizontal no matter where it is placed, and the cargo on the receiving section is forced into the horizontal path at the lower position and is carried out. A traveling body (2) comprising a vertical circulation conveyor having a transfer means for transferring onto a conveyor (g).

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

This embodiment is an example in which inventions 1, 2, and 3 are simultaneously implemented.

Here, the cargo receiving part [F] 2) consisting of the comb-like forks of the vertical conveyor 181 and the drive rollers (6□) arranged in parallel in the form of comb-like teeth of the warehousing conveyor (6) have a comb-like space between them. When crossing the cargo receiving section (a), the cargo on the receiving conveyor (6) is left behind on the drive roller (6p) of the warehousing conveyor (6) and is carried in the orthogonal direction by the drive roller and tilted. It is supplied in the direction of the conveyor (1) (see Fig. 9, J1@).

ST, llz is installed on the lifting platform, +13 is installed on the same lifting platform,
