Again, as these RFID readers 42A, RFID write device 42B, use can be carried out writing (IN) and reading RFID reader, the write device of (OUT) of RFID simultaneously.

Aspect the RFID 34 that is built in input telltale 26, by being set at towards the RFID write device 42B in the place of the second curve transfer line 21D, when picking up the choosing beginning (before entering storage line A), the above order number is written into, at this moment, the order number that is written into RFID 34 by display controller 35 is displayed on digital display 32.Again, this order number is by than replacing the area E downstream, being set at the RFID write device 42B that bag is hung the upstream side of regional F, by cancellation.

Be written into the order number of RFID 34 by being read the position of RFID 34 with each RFID reader 42A again,, that is, RFID 34 is organized the position of the input telltale 26 of going into, that is the position that the product collection container 10 that drops into telltale 26 is installed is determined.

" antenna ": above the first straight line transfer line 21A and the second straight line transfer line 21B, and drop between the radio 36 of telltale 26, the antenna 43 (Figure 11) that receives in order to the transmission of carrying out data is laid.

" sealing area D ": aspect sealing area D, as Fig. 1, Fig. 7, shown in Figure 8, the sealing controller 49 that is connected to the RFID reader 42A of the downstream end that is arranged at storage line A, constitutes by computing machine and will determine that by the label data that is output from sealing controller 49 label machine 50 of user's label distribution is set up, again, RFID reader 42A is set at the downstream of above-mentioned label machine 50, and bar code reader 51 is set at the downstream of this RFID reader 42A.Again, at sealing area D, along the second straight line transfer line 21B, two people's operator H, the operator H be configured in storage line A along the first straight line transfer line 21A is configured in opposition side.

The first operator H is configured in the position upstream that is provided with than label machine 50, confirm (inspections) the digital display 32 that drops into telltale 26 be shown in the quantity of the sum (in detail as described later) of the article 11 that product collection container 10 is collected and the article 11 in the product collection container 10 unanimity whether, check when good, to be hung in bag 27 foldings of product collection container 10, carry out the operation of packing the article 11 that are collected.Again, check when bad, flow towards downstream under the opened state at the folding of not carrying out bag 27.

Again, the second operator H carries out and will be attached to operation on the bag 27 by label machine 50 released labels.Check when good that bag 27 is sealed by label, again, only be attached on the bag 27 when bad checking.

Aspect above-mentioned sealing controller 49, as shown in Figure 8, RFID reader 42A, the label machine 50 of the downstream end of storage line A, the RFID reader 42A and the bar code reader 51 that are configured in the downstream of label machine 50 are connected.

Aspect sealing controller 49, comprise in advance, be assigned with (being defined) and dropped into the user of order number of RFID 34 of telltale 26 by interior plant and the label data that is dispensed on each user's bar code is remembered being written in again; The RFID reader 42A of the downstream end of sealing controller 49 by being arranged on storage line A, the words that the order number that the input telltale 26 built-in RFID 34 that are mounted at the product collection container 10 that is handled upside down are written into is read, retrieval is limited at the user of order number, user by retrieval, to retrieve at the label data that this user is set, label data towards label machine 50 outputs, is issued the label of bearing bar code.

Again, sealing controller 49 will be written in the order number input of RFID 34 from the RFID reader 42A in the downstream that is configured in label machine 50, to import by the bar code that bar code reader 51 is read, whether the number that confirms an order is consistent with the user that bar code is assigned with respectively, label is quite right, confirms whether to be attached to the bag 27 of cooresponding product collection container 10.Confirm vicious words, the misdata that will comprise the order number is towards replacement controller 57 outputs described later.Again, check when bad that label is attached to by open bag 27, in the time of can't reading bar code, the misdata that will comprise the order number too is towards replacing controller 57 outputs.

As above-mentioned, the first operator H checks, checks when good, will be hung in bag 27 foldings of product collection container 10, the article 11 that packing is collected; The second operator H, the product collection container 10 being carried in proper order by the second straight line transfer line 21B sticks released label.Again, when being handled upside down towards downstream, label correctly is attached on the bag 27 and whether is identified by label is sealed.

" replacement area E ": aspect the replacement area E, as Fig. 1, Fig. 7, first freedom (free) conveyer 53 shown in Figure 9, that empty concentrated case 13 is accumulated, the second free conveyer 54 that the concentrated case 13 that the article 11 (collection finish article 11) that will finish by the sealing that transfer line B is handled upside down the product collection container 10 that comes are replaced transmits, to label on 27 at the bag of the article in the packaging product collection container 10 11 the bar code reader 55 that reads of bar code, be configured in the downstream position of the second free conveyer 54 and the label machine 56 that the shipment label is issued, the replacement controller 57 that constitutes by computing machine, to be set up from the telltale (display frame) 58 of replacing the demonstrations such as data that controller 57 is output.Again, aspect the replacement area E, two people's operator H is configured.

The first operator H is configured in the upstream position of the second free conveyer 54, the concentrated case 13 of sky is introduced on the second free conveyer 54 from the first free conveyer 53, at this concentrated case 13, according to the dispensing area, the article 11 (collection finish article 11) that respectively sealing of product collection container 10 finished are replaced, to on the bag 27 of the final article 11 that packing is replaced, label bar code read by bar code reader 55, side is carried out the release operation towards downstream.The replacement of each other concentrated case 13 towards dispensing area, lighting a lamp and color of the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33 of the input telltale 26 by being installed in product collection container 10 can be judged.That is, the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33, by the regional front end of dispensing when (front) with green, lit a lamp with redness during in the regional terminal of dispensing, beyond this, turned off the light, the point of interruption in dispensing area is shown (in detail as described later), can judge by this.

Again, the second operator H, the concentrated case 13 that is pushed out of side towards downstream replace ending will stick from label machine 56 released shipment labels, carries out the operation of shipment.As putting up working, for example, the loadings of using in shipment such as flat truck.

Aspect above-mentioned replacement controller 57, as shown in Figure 9, bar code reader 55, label machine 56, telltale (display frame) 58 are connected, by in advance, the data that are assigned to the shipment label that operator's bar code is set are remembered, the words that bar code by bar code reader 55, label is read, with being set at the shipment label data retrieval of this bar code, the shipment label data towards label machine 56 outputs, is issued the shipment label.Again,, will comprise the misdata input of order number, towards telltale (display frame) 58, will comprise the bad or label of the inspection of order number and paste the wrong alarm that produces and show, end towards the replacement of concentrating case 13 from sealing controller 49.

As above-mentioned, replace in the area E sealing finish article 11 towards concentrated case 13 be replaced, by shipment.

" bag hang regional F ": hang aspect the regional F at bag, as shown in Figure 1, be handled upside down the product collection container 10 (replacement of article 11 ends becomes empty product collection container 10) that comes and carry out the bag on-hook 60 that bag hangs and be set up from replacing area E by transfer line B, by bag on-hook 60, bag 27 is hung in container 25 automatically.At this moment, by in the side of container 25 with drop between the telltale 26 gap 41 is set, bag 27 without any obstacle be hung in container 25.

Again, hang regional F at bag, the RFID write device 42B of the upstream by being arranged on bag on-hook 60, order number from RFID 34 by cancellation, the RFID write device 42B in the downstream by being set at bag on-hook 60, new order number is written into towards RFID 34.

By above-mentioned all formations of picking up optional equipment, product collection container 10, by transfer line B circulation, product collection container 10 itself is not by shipment, hang among the regional F at bag, bag 27 is hung in empty product collection container 10, and at RFID 34, new order number is written into, based on this order number, be implemented by the collection of keeping, collect and end, in sealing area D at the article 11 of storage line A, inspection is implemented, the bag 27 by folding and sealed, the label that the user is determined is sticked, again, in replacing area E, the article 11 that sealing finishes according to the dispensing area, are replaced at concentrated case 13 respectively, by shipment.The sealing article 11 that finish are removed and become empty product collection container 10, hang among the regional F at bag, and bag 27 is hung up, and at RFID 34, new order number is written into and collects and be implemented.

As above-mentioned, whole product collection container 10 circulations were reused several times in one day, and in each circulation, new order number is assigned with.As above-mentioned, in order to circulate, RFID 34 is set in dropping into telltale 26, mean the automatic rewriting of order number.

" control constitutes ": in Figure 10, the control that optional equipment is picked up in expression constitutes.

As the control setup of picking up optional equipment, at each above-mentioned area controller 24 of picking up constituency P, sealing controller 49, replace controller 57, add master controller 62, communication controller 63, show that switch controller 64 is possessed.

' communication controller 63 ': aspect communication controller 63, as shown in figure 11, antenna 43 connected transmission receiving devices 65 are connected, and the reception that communication controller 63 is carried out data via above-mentioned antenna 43, the radio 36 that transmits receiving device 65 and respectively drop into telltale 26 transmits.

' master controller 62 ': aspect master controller 62, each picks up the area controller 24 of constituency P, sealing controller 49, replace controller 57, communication controller 63, show that switch controller 64 is connected, again, the first straight line transfer line 21A, the second straight line transfer line 21B, the first curve transfer line 21C, the second curve transfer line 21D, bag on-hook 60, be set at (being set up) the RFID write device 42B in the downstream of bag on-hook 60 in place towards the second curve transfer line 21D, RFID write device 42B at the upstream side that is set at the regional F of bag extension than replacing the area E downstream is connected.

Again, aspect master controller 62, an inferior data in advance is set.

According to the difference of dispensing area, be assigned to each user who is logged, distinctive bar code.

Order the array data (corresponding to the data of the positive space of planes 16 of picking up constituency P of each article 11) of the positive space of planes 16 of picking up constituency P that the article 11 of object are stored respectively.

Master controller 62 has following function.

(1). pick up area controller 24, sealing controller 49, the sign on of replacing controller 57, communication controller 63 output operations and the end of a period instruction of constituency P towards each.

(2). the first straight line transfer line 21A, the second straight line transfer line 21B, the first curve transfer line 21C, the second curve transfer line 21D, bag on-hook 60 are started, stop.

(3). will { order: an example that requires information from the article of each classification destination from each other user's of being logged in advance order; By the information that article are determined (for example, the kind of article, item name, article sign indicating number etc.) and the odd number that constitutes of quantity (number) or the data of plural number the words accepted, as shown in figure 13, order according to the user who is logged in advance who accepts an order, user's order (perhaps user, that is, the article of classification destination or classification destination require information), continuous order number (example of distinctive symbol) is distributed, write the quantity (pick up and select quantity) of order at each positive space of planes 16 of respectively picking up constituency P, select data to form picking up of storage line A.At this moment, picking up aspect the situation that choosing ends in storage line A, in each user's order obtained and remembered picking up area code sign indicating number that choosing ends.

(4). will be assigned to each user's the order number and the picking up of storage line A of formation and select data (comprise and pick up the area code sign indicating number that choosing ends), towards area controller 24 outputs of respectively picking up constituency P.

(5). be assigned to user's order number at each, obtain from subscription data and to be picked up the sum that selects article 11, with the sum of the article 11 of each order number, with the data in order number that is assigned to the user and user's dispensing area towards showing switch controller 64 outputs.

(6). will be assigned to user's order number and bar code, towards sealing controller 49 with replace controller 57 outputs.

(7). (being set up) the RFID write device 42B in the downstream by being set at bag on-hook 60 in place towards the second curve transfer line 21D, the words that RFID 34 is detected, order according to the user who is logged in advance, the order number that is assigned to user's order is exported towards RFID write device 42B, the order number is write to RFID 34.By this, the product collection container 10 that drops into telltale 26 is being installed, the order number is assigned with.

As above-mentioned, in master controller 62, the startup of

line

21A, 21B, 21C, 21D and bag on-hook 60, stop to be implemented, again, the words that are transfused to from each user's order (order), picking up of storage line A selects data (each is picked up picking up of constituency P and selects data) to be formed, and the data of order number etc. are output towards each controller.

' show switch controller 64 ': aspect demonstration switch controller 64, as shown in figure 12, the RFID reader 42A, the communication controller 63 that are arranged at the downstream end of storage line A are connected, in advance, the sum of the article 11 of each each order number and be assigned to user's order number and the data in user's dispensing area are transfused to by master controller 62.

Show that switch controller 64 will be written into the order number input of RFID 34 by RFID reader 42A, try to achieve the user by this order number, and obtain the sum of article 11, again, the front end (front) that this user tries to achieve dispensing area why, terminal why.

Following data towards communication controller 63 outputs, via transmitting receiving device 65 and antenna 43, are transmitted again.Again, in the sealing area D in the downstream of storage line A, because the operator of the first operator H and storage line A is positioned at the opposition side of transfer line B, output will drop into as the demonstration conduct orientation of seeing easily of digital display (display frame) 32 of telltale 26, will show quilt data presented (showing reverse instruction) inversely.

The user is during for the front end in dispensing area ... with the order number, the data of being lit a lamp with ' green ' and the lamp 38 of the first lamp portion 31 is turned off the light with the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33 of cover 39B and with the sum of article 11 towards digital display 32 quilts data presented (example that shows reverse instruction) inversely.

Not at the regional front end of dispensing during ... with the order number also not in terminal, the data that the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33 and the first lamp portion 31 is turned off the light and the sum of article 11 towards digital display 32 by data presented (example that shows reverse instruction) inversely.

During the terminal in dispensing area ... with the order number, the data of being lit a lamp with ' redness ' and the lamp 38 of the first lamp portion 31 is turned off the light with the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33 of cover 39B and with the sum of article 11 towards digital display 32 quilts data presented (example that shows reverse instruction) inversely.

These data are by dropping into the radio 36 received words of telltale 26, display controller 35 is by the order number of the data of reception, confirm to receive data and whether give oneself, the words of confirming, according to receiving data, the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33 and the first lamp portion 31 is lit a lamp, turned off the light, the sum of article 11 is shown inversely towards digital display 32.

The order number of the data that receive is owing to the data of conduct by the input telltale 26 of the downstream end of storage line A, in passing through the input telltale 26 of downstream end, the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33, during front end (front) when green, terminal redness lit a lamp, turned off the light beyond this, the lamp 38 of the first lamp portion 31 is turned off the light.Again, aspect digital display 32, replace ' order number ' (or ' END ') of demonstration, ' sum ' (sums of article 11) are shown inversely.

Again, shown in Figure 12 (b), the point of interruption in dispensing area, the color of the lamp 38 by the second lamp portion 33 is shown, and again, uses as checking, the sum of the article 11 that are collected at product collection container 10 inversely, that is, with the operator H that is configured in storage line A, be positioned at the orientation that the first operator H of sealing area D of the not homonymy of transfer line B sees easily, be expressed by digital display 32.

' area controller 24 ': aspect each area controller 24, as shown in figure 14, the positive space of planes telltale of being responsible for 19 of picking up constituency (hereinafter referred to as from the constituency) P, interval telltale 20, with from constituency P over against and be configured the banded switch 23 of input district (corresponding inputs distinguished, and distinguishes hereinafter referred to as the input certainly) Z of (by corresponding), at this banded switch 23 from input district, the upstream Z of the upstream adjacency that drops into district Z, and in the accumulation portion 22 in the downstream of dropping into district Z certainly, be set at RFID reader (slightly the being called upstream RFID reader) 42A of the upstream extremity of above-mentioned upstream input district Z, be set at RFID reader (slightly being called) 42A from distinguishing the RFID reader from the upstream extremity that drops into district Z, be set at RFID reader (slightly being called catchment RFID reader) 42A with the upstream extremity that drops into input district, the downstream Z that distinguishes Z downstream adjacency certainly, and master controller 62 is connected.

Again, aspect each area controller 24, in advance, will be and drop into the number that district Z determines certainly and be set from constituency P, again, be set from the arrangement of the positive space of planes 16 of constituency P and the data (array data) that are incorporated in the article 11 of each positive space of planes 16, from master controller 62, be assigned to user's order number and be transfused to from the data (pick up and select data) of the article 11 that take out from the positive space of planes 16 of each of constituency P that are determined by each order number again.

The control of the area controller 24 ' constitute ': area controller 24, for the product collection container 10 that is handled upside down by the first straight line transfer line 21A, control is taken out article 11 and picking up of dropping into is elected to be industry from the positive space of planes 16 from constituency P.The control pie graph of area controller 24 is represented at Figure 15.

Area controller 24 is made of following elements: pick up and select memory device 71, above-mentioned array data, be assigned to each user the order number, pick up and select data (comprise and pick up the area code sign indicating number that choosing ends) and select picking up of data to be elected to be industry whether to end and remembered according to picking up; Upstream memory device 72, the order number that the RFID 34 of the input telltale 26 that is mounted at upstream input district Z, at (moving) maximum six each the product collection container 10 that is positioned at downstream from the upstream is written into is remembered; From region memorizer 73, remembered at the same order number of each maximum six the product collection container 10 that drops into district Z certainly, is positioned at downstream from the upstream; Data processing division 74 will be picked up the order number that selects memory device 71, is assigned with the above-mentioned user who is transfused to from master controller 62 and picks up and select data accumulating towards above-mentioned; Upstream container test section 75; From district's container test section 76; The upstream display control unit 77 of going ahead of the rest; From distinguishing display control unit 78 in advance; Pick up and select control part 79; And before send permission control portion 80.

' upstream container test section 75 ': upstream container test section 75 is from the words of upstream RFID reader 42A with the input of order number, with this order number as the order number of the product collection container 10 of upstream and in 72 memories of upstream memory device, will be in the order numerical order of memory before side shifting towards downstream.Again, from distinguishing RFID reader 42A certainly with order number input, with this order number from 72 cancellations of upstream memory device, will be in the order numerical order of memory before side shifting towards downstream.

' distinguish container test section 76 ' certainly: distinguish container test section 76 certainly from distinguishing the words of RFID reader 42A certainly with the input of order number, with this order number as the order number of the product collection container 10 of upstream and from region memorizer 73 memories, will be in the order numerical order of memory before side shifting towards downstream.Again, from catchment RFID reader 42A with order number input, with this order number from from region memorizer 73 cancellations, will be in the order numerical order of memory before side shifting towards downstream.

As above-mentioned, at upstream memory device 72 with from aspect the region memorizer 73, from the upstream downstream, the order number that is positioned at upstream input district Z and drops into the product collection container 10 of district Z is certainly remembered, is updated.Again, by input from the order number of RFID reader 42A, owing to will be positioned at the order number memory of each product collection container 10 that drops into district Z, move to upstream side or downstream by installation site with RFID reader 42A, can change the scope that drops into district Z, again, shown in Figure 17 (b), by with the installation site of RFID reader 42A towards downstream side shifting be equivalent to the part (being two parts in the drawings) of a plurality of product collection containers, can with corresponding to the scope of the input district Z that respectively picks up constituency P towards downstream lateral deviation move (moving).As above-mentioned, be offset to the downstream, drop into district Z certainly and be offset to the downstream by upstream input district Z, operator H will be from constituency P as the center, to pick up the miles of relative movement that is elected to be industry and shortens in order to carry out, and can improve operating efficiency.

' distinguish display control unit 78 ' in advance certainly: distinguish display control unit 78 in advance certainly, affirmation is remembered in the order number from region memorizer 73, by each order number, retrieval is picked up and is selected memory device 71, obtains to pick up and selects having or not of data (whether to have towards being positioned at the article 11 that drop into from the product collection container 10 that drops into district Z from pick up choosing from the positive space of planes 16 of constituency P; Picking up the situation that is elected to be the industry end of a period is counted as not having to pick up selecting data).

At the order number, pick up the words of selecting data to have (pick up and be elected to be the words that industry has), remember this order number, again, the order number (product collection container 10) in downstream is determined as picking up the order number (product collection container) that is elected to be the industry object, with this order number, add from the number that drops into district Z and select control part 79 outputs towards picking up.Again, will except this pick up the order number of the product collection container 10 that is elected to be the industry object other order numbers, add lighting a lamp from district data and towards communication controller 63 outputs from number that drops into district Z and some modulating signal.Based on this from district's data of lighting a lamp, the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33 lit a lamp (aftermentioned).

Again, retrieval and at the order number, pick up and select data it's not true (pick up be elected to be industry it's not true), with the order number, add from the number that drops into district Z and the district certainly of closing modulating signal and turn off the light data towards communication controller 63 outputs.Again, pick up when selecting data not have fully, will pick up and select data not have signal towards upstream display control unit 77 output of going ahead of the rest.Based on above-mentioned from district's data of turning off the light, the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33 turned off the light (aftermentioned).

' the upstream display control unit 77 ' of going ahead of the rest: the upstream display control unit 77 of going ahead of the rest, the order number in upstream memory device 72 is remembered in affirmation, by each order number, retrieval is picked up and is selected memory device 71, obtains to pick up and selects having or not of data (whether to have from pick up the article 11 that select and drop into towards the product collection container 10 that is positioned at input district, upstream Z from the positive space of planes 16 of constituency P; Pick up be elected to be situation that industry ends regarded as to pick up by nothing select data).

At the order number, pick up the words of selecting data to have (pick up and be elected to be the words that industry has), whether memory order number then, confirms from district certainly the above-mentioned signal that selects data not have of picking up of display control unit 78 inputs in advance.Confirm to pick up the words of selecting the signal that data do not have, the order number (product collection container 10) in downstream is determined as picking up the order number (product collection container) that is elected to be the industry object, with this order number, add that the number (subtracting 1 from the number that drops into district Z certainly) of input district, upstream Z selects control part 79 outputs towards picking up.

To light a lamp data towards communication controller 63 outputs except this upstream of picking up other order numbers of the order number of the product collection container 10 that is elected to be the industry object, the number that adds input district, upstream Z and some modulating signal again.Again, retrieval and pick up and select data it's not true at the order number (pick up be elected to be industry it's not true) is turned off the light data towards communication controller 63 outputs with order number, the upstream that adds the number of input district, upstream Z and close modulating signal.Based on the above-mentioned upstream data of lighting a lamp, the lamp 38 of the first lamp portion 31 is lit a lamp, again, based on the above-mentioned upstream data of turning off the light, the lamp 38 of the first lamp portion 31 turned off the light (aftermentioned).

' pick up and select control part 79 ': pick up and select control part 79, display control unit 78 or the upstream display control unit 77 of going ahead of the rest in advance from district certainly, to pick up the order number input of the product collection container 10 that is elected to be the industry object, pick up by this order number retrieval and select picking up of memory device 71 to select data.Again, with the order number of input, add from the flashing light data of district certainly of the number of number that drops into district Z or upstream input district Z and wink signal or upstream flashing light data towards communication controller 63 outputs.Certainly distinguish the flashing light data based on above-mentioned, the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33 is by flashing light, and again, based on above-mentioned upstream flashing light data, the lamp 38 of the first lamp portion 31 is by flashing light (aftermentioned).

Then, the picking up of product collection container 10 that is elected to be the industry object according to picking up of retrieval selected data, by positive space of planes telltale 19, demonstration is with the quantity of article 11 positive space of planes 16 that takes out and the article 11 that take out, again, by interval telltale 20, learn the hop count of the canopy 17 that positive space of planes 16 that article 11 are taken out has.Again, the operation of finishing PS (Push Switch) 19B by positive space of planes telltale 19, affirmation is from the taking-up of the article 11 of positive space of planes 16, the operation of the banded switch 23 of banded switch 23 by dropping into district Z certainly (when the product collection container 10 that drops into district Z certainly drops into article 11) or upstream input district Z (when the product collection container 10 of upstream input district Z drops into article 11) confirms that being elected to be industry towards picking up of product collection container 10 ends.Confirm, make picking up of implementation select picking up of memory device 71 to select data to be elected to be industry and to end, will pick up the order number that is elected to be industry and ends, send permission control portion 80 outputs forward, then, select in the data picking up, confirm whether to be set at and picks up the choosing district of ending from constituency P as picking up.

Again, be set at from constituency P and pick up the end situation in district of choosing, ended in order number, the district that adds ' END ' (example of the demonstration of " input of article ends ") idsplay order and close modulating signal and turn off the light data towards communication controller 63 outputs.

' the preceding permission control portion 80 ' that send: the preceding permission control portion 80 of sending is by the order number from the downstream of region memorizer 73, retrieval is picked up and is selected picking up of memory device 71 to select data, confirm to pick up and be elected to be having or not of industry, pick up when being elected to be industry and not having, will send accumulation portion 22 outputs of enabling signal before above-mentioned towards downstream.Again, pick up and be elected to be industry sometimes, select control part 79 from picking up, be elected to be order number that industry ends and be input as and end and wait for to picking up, prevention is imported the order number from dropping into district Z certainly, picking up and be elected to be product collection container 10 that industry do not end and drop into district Z towards downstream and move, and confirms whether this order number is consistent with the order number from the downstream of region memorizer 73, consistent, will send accumulation portion 22 outputs of enabling signal before above-mentioned towards downstream.

Above-mentioned communication controller 63 is with above-mentioned ' order number, add from the number that drops into district Z, and the data of lighting a lamp of district certainly of some modulating signal ', or ' order number, add from the number that drops into district Z, and the district certainly of the closing modulating signal data of turning off the light ', or ' order number, add " END " idsplay order, and the district of the closing modulating signal data of turning off the light that end ', or ' order number, add the number of input district, upstream Z, and the upstream data of lighting a lamp of some modulating signal ', or ' order number, add the number of input district, upstream Z, and the upstream that the closes modulating signal data of lighting a lamp ', or ' order number, add from the number that drops into district Z, and the flashing light data of district certainly of wink signal ', or ' order number, add the number of input district, upstream Z, and the upstream flashing light data of wink signal ' input, via transmitting receiving device 65 and antenna 43 transmission.

These data are by dropping into the radio 36 received words of telltale 26, display controller 35 is by the order number of the data of reception, confirm to receive data and whether give oneself, confirm, according to the reception data, will " the order number " be shown towards digital display 32, or when data are turned off the light in district's end of a period, will " END " be shown towards digital display 32, as following, the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33 and the first lamp portion 31 is lit a lamp, flashing light, turned off the light.When dropping into the number odd number of district Z again, during with red, even number with green light a lamp, flashing light.

The data of lighting a lamp from the district ... the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33 is lit a lamp.

The data of turning off the light end for the data of turning off the light from the district or district ... the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33 is turned off the light.

From district's flashing light data ... with lamp 38 flashing lights of the second lamp portion 33.

The upstream data of lighting a lamp ... the lamp 38 of the first lamp portion 31 is lit a lamp.

The upstream data of turning off the light ... the lamp 38 of the first lamp portion 31 is turned off the light.

Upstream flashing light data ... with lamp 38 flashing lights of the first lamp portion 31.

As above-mentioned, lit a lamp at the lamp 38 that is positioned at the second lamp portion 33 that hauls oneself willingly into the input telltale 26 that the product collection container 10 into district Z is mounted, flashing light, turn off the light, by lighting a lamp, be elected to be the predetermined product collection container 10 of industry and be shown as picking up, pass through flashing light, as now, pick up and be elected to be the product collection container 10 that industry carries out object and be shown, by turning off the light, be not shown as picking up the product collection container 10 that is elected to be the industry object, by the second lamp portion 33, input telltale 26 is installed, be positioned at from the product collection container 10 that drops into district Z, the product collection container as the input object of the article 11 that are removed in the P of constituency is expressed.

Again, the lamp 38 of the first lamp portion 31 of the input telltale 26 that is mounted at the product collection container 10 that is positioned at input district, upstream Z is lit a lamp, flashing light, turn off the light, by lighting a lamp, be elected to be the predetermined product collection container 10 of industry and be shown as picking up, pass through flashing light, as now, pick up and be elected to be the product collection container 10 that industry carries out object and be shown, by turning off the light, be not shown as picking up the product collection container 10 that is elected to be the industry object, by the first lamp portion 31, input telltale 26 is installed, be positioned at the product collection container 10 of input district, upstream Z, the product collection container as the input object of the article 11 that are removed in the P of constituency is expressed.

Again, the state (light a lamp, flashing light, the state of turning off the light) of lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33 that drops into telltale 26 is by display control unit 78 Be Controlled in advance from the district, again, the above-mentioned state of the lamp 38 of the first lamp portion 31 is by display control unit 77 Be Controlled of going ahead of the rest with upstream, product collection container 10 is when the input district Z input district Z towards downstream of upstream is moved, the above-mentioned state of the first lamp portion 31 of this input telltale 26 and the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33 is inspected simultaneously, and two sides' of the lamp 38 of the first lamp portion 31 and the second lamp portion 33 above-mentioned state is updated simultaneously.

' shift action of the product collection container 10 among the storage line A ': the shift action of product collection container 10 that drops into district Z according to each of the formation of the formation of the above-mentioned first straight line transfer line 21A, area controller 24 is as described below.

A. in dropping into district Z, free accumulation portion 22 is filled up forward.

B. advance to and drop into moving of district Z, be not as pick up be elected to be the industry object product collection container 10 time, down unconditional, before send enabling signal from respect to cooresponding area controller 24 from constituency P is output from dropping into district Z, empty accumulation portion 22 moves in the words that the upstream of downstream input district Z takes place.

C. advance to and drop into moving of district Z, when picking up the product collection container 10A that is elected to be the industry object, till before sending enabling signal to be output from the area controller 24 that drops into district Z, that is, to pick up be elected to be industry and end till, even empty accumulation portion 22 takes place, does not move and stop in the upstream of the input district in downstream Z, picking up the product collection container 10 that is elected to be the downstream that industry do not end desires towards downstream input district Z and moves and be prevented from, by preceding sending the output of enabling signal, beginning input district Z towards downstream moves (empty accumulation portion 22 occurs as condition in the upstream of the input district in downstream Z).

As above-mentioned, by dropping into district Z is that possible (licensed) product collection container 10 advances to and drops into district Z and when mobile, situation (situation that empty accumulation portion 22 does not have) standby in that the input district in downstream Z fills up becomes empty accumulation portion 22 and moves in the words of the state of the upstream of the input district in downstream Z generation.

With reference to Figure 16, concrete example is described on one side.

Six accumulation portions 22 are set at each and drop into district Z, shown in (a) among Figure 16, two product collection containers 10 in the downstream in the district 2 are not to pick up to be elected to be the industry object, the words that the accumulation portion 22 of two considerable part skies (not having product collection container 10) is arranged in the upstream in the district 3 in the downstream of adjacency, shown in (b) among Figure 16, by the function of stacking conveyor, two product collection containers 10 in the downstream in the district 2, catchment 3 towards adjacency is transferred, and is filled up forward.At this moment, the product collection container 10A that is elected to be the industry object that picks up in district 2 is moved to till the downstream end in district, but to from the area controller 24 of picking up constituency P, pick up be elected to be that industry ends and before send enabling signal to be output till, do not transferred towards distinguishing 3.

Again, shown in (a) among Figure 16, the words of the accumulation portion 22 of free (not having product collection container 10) in district 1, shown in (b) among Figure 16, the product collection container 10 of upstream is filled up forward, again, shown in (b) among Figure 16, take place by the handover of distinguishing the product collection container 10 in 2, empty accumulation portion 22, the picking up of downstream end that is not district 1 is elected to be the product collection container 10 of object already, transferred, filled up forward towards district 2.At this moment, the product collection container 10A that is elected to be the industry object that picks up in district 1 is shifted into till the downstream end in district, to from the area controller 24 of picking up constituency P, pick up be elected to be that industry ends and before send enabling signal to be output till, by 2 handovers towards the district.

As above-mentioned, product collection container 10 is removable by partly advancing to input district Z towards downstream, for picking up the product collection container 10A that is elected to be the industry object, operator H in the moving range that drops into district Z certainly, pick up the chance that is elected to be industry and increase, can improve efficiency of operation.(can pick up in the input district of upstream Z in advance and be elected to be industry, pick up the product collection container 10A that is elected to be the industry object and can be transferred to from dropping into Z aspect, district, operating efficiency can improve.)

Again, in input is distinguished Z, pick up and be elected to be the product collection container 10A that industry is implemented, till being elected to be end of a period already, can avoid being transferred to input district, downstream Z, can prevent to collect not enough generation picking up of input district Z.

' pick up be elected to be industry ': will be according to the effect of the formation of area controller 24, be elected to be industry action explanation with being configured in the picking up of operator H of picking up constituency P.

As shown in Figure 4, lit a lamp or flashing light or turn off the light at the lamp 38 that is positioned at the second lamp portion 33 that hauls oneself willingly into the input telltale 26 that the product collection container 10 into district Z is mounted, show by lighting a lamp to pick up and be elected to be industry, show to pick up by flashing light and be elected to be industry and carry out, show not pick up by turning off the light and be elected to be industry, at this moment, be shown from the interval of constituency P telltale 20 and each positive space of planes telltale 19.

Be configured in operator H from constituency P, based on the demonstration of interval telltale 20, the demonstration of each positive space of planes telltale 19, to take out from containing box 12 towards the article 11 that product collection container 10 drops into, the each taking-up, that pushes positive space of planes telltale 19 finishes button switch 19B, confirm the turning off the light of demonstration of positive space of planes telltale 19, article 11 are taken out, reexamine, dropped into (implementation is picked up and is elected to be industry) by the product collection container 10 that the input telltale 26 of flashing light is mounted towards being carried to from the lamp 38 that drops into the district Z and the second lamp portion 33.Again, the end of a period of the input of whole article 11 is pushed from the banded switch 23 that drops into district Z, makes the picking up of product collection container 10 for object be elected to be the industry end of a period.As above-mentioned, the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33, the product collection container 10 that input telltale 26 is mounted are positioned at when dropping into district Z, and only from seeing from constituency P, formation makes to pick up and is elected to be the already possible lamp of district certainly.

Again, the lamp 38 of the first lamp portion 31 of the input telltale 26 that is mounted at the product collection container 10 that is positioned at input district, upstream Z (can only from seeing from constituency P) is, light a lamp or flashing light or turn off the light, show by lighting a lamp to pick up and be elected to be industry, show to pick up by flashing light to be elected to be industry and to carry out, show by turning off the light not pick up to be elected to be industry.

During the flashing light of the lamp 38 of the first lamp portion 31, be configured in operator H from constituency P, based on from the demonstration of the interval of constituency P telltale 20, the demonstration of each positive space of planes telltale 19, be positioned at input district, the upstream Z of adjacency, for the product collection container 10 that the input telltale 26 of lamp 38 flashing lights of the first lamp portion 31 is mounted, the article 11 that will take out from the positive space of planes 16 from constituency P drop into (carry out in advance picking up the upstream and be elected to be industry).Again, the input of whole article 11 ends, and pushes the banded switch 23 of input district, upstream Z, makes the picking up of product collection container 10 for object be elected to be the industry end of a period.Like this, the lamp 38 of the first lamp portion 31, when dropping into product collection container 10 that telltale 26 is mounted and being positioned at input district, upstream Z, can be only from seeing from constituency P, form make pick up in advance be elected to be industry possible distinguish lamp in advance.

As above-mentioned, operator H can with from the article 11 that take out from constituency P, be fed into and drop into the product collection container 10 that is handled upside down district Z and the upstream input district Z certainly, as shown in Figure 4, each operator H can carry out being formed across continuous two scopes that drop into the input operation of district Z.Again, by this, shown in Figure 17 (a), except the input district Z in downstream, input district Z from upstream, carry out continuing towards the input district Z of the input operation of product collection container 10 with two people, the input district Z in only downstream becomes with operator one people and carries out towards the input district Z of the input operation of product collection container 10.That is, by being elected to be industry with operator H practicable picking up in dropping into district Z and upstream input district Z certainly, the practicable input district Z that is elected to be industry that picks up of each operator H, input district Z except downstream, the input district Z of adjacency continuously, skew, be configured as overlapping, drop among district Z at each,, pick up and be elected to be industry and be implemented by two people's operator.

Again, as mentioned above, even for pick up constituency P, will drop into the district Z be offset in the situation in downstream, also shown in Figure 17 (b), similarly, except the input district Z in downstream, from the input district Z of upstream, carry out continuing towards the input district Z of the input operation of product collection container 10 with two people, the input district Z in only downstream becomes with operator one people and carries out towards the input district Z of the input operation of product collection container 10.

Again, end, be elected to be the situation that industry ends towards picking up of this product collection container 10 by picking up the implementation that is elected to be industry, at digital display 32, " END " be shown.

Again, the digital display (display frame) 32 that drops into telltale 26 is mounted by the central authorities at the lamp (distinguishing lamp) 38 of lamp (distinguishing lamp certainly) the 38 and first lamp portion 31 of the second lamp portion 33 in advance, drops into product collection container 10 that telltale 26 is mounted, is becoming from the operator of input article 11 is the easiest and see.

As above-mentioned, words according to present embodiment, dropping into telltale 26 is handled upside down by transfer line B with product collection container 10, when this product collection container 10 is the product collection container of the input object that will drop into from the article 11 that positive space of planes 16 takes out, be expressed by dropping into telltale 26, that is, dropping into telltale 26 moves with product collection container 10, by whether to drop into telltale 26 expressions as the input object, be configured in the operator H that respectively picks up constituency P of storage line A, can misidentification do not drop into the product collection container 10 of object and intuitively cognitive, can prevent wrong the input.

Again, RFID (label) 34 is set in dropping into telltale 26, the user's that will be assigned with at product collection container 10 order number memory (writing) is in RFID (label) 34, drop into the upstream extremity of district Z at each, the detected RFID reader of the order number 42A that will be remembered at RFID (label) 34 is set respectively, by dropping at each among the district Z, the order number sequential memory that will be detected by RFID reader 42A, the product collection container of being moved into respectively to each input district Z 10 can be determined, practicable picking up is elected to be industry, by this, whether which position of each product collection container 10 at transfer line B can be had, do not need often to follow the trail of whereabouts from being fed into transfer line B, in case, even the position information of each product collection container 10 is eliminated, restore easily, can improve to pick up and select efficiency of operation.By RFID (label) 34 being set, can easily rewrite distinctive order number corresponding to the user's who is distributed in product collection container 10 order in dropping into telltale 26 again.

Again, words according to present embodiment, drop into telltale 26, setting shows second lamp portion 33 of usefulness and the first lamp portion 31 that upstream shows usefulness from the district, by the second lamp portion 33, practicable corresponding to picking up among the input district Z that picks up the constituency of oneself be elected to be the industry, again, by the demonstration of the first lamp portion 31, practicable the picking up of input district, upstream Z that is arranged in the upstream with oneself picking up constituency cooresponding input district Z adjacency is elected to be industry, in the input district Z and two sides of upstream input district Z of oneself, practicable picking up is elected to be industry.

Again, according to present embodiment, by being set according to the position of RFID reader 42A, the upstream extremity that each drops into district Z, can make the range that drops into district Z, by this, corresponding to operator's ability, can individually change each sector width (input district Z can being become extensively or narrow down).Again, be accompanied by the sector width change that drops into district Z, can will drop into district Z and offset, the configuration of picking up constituency P (the positive space of planes 16 of the frame 15 that flows).Again, will drop into the district Z, by being offset to the downstream than the cooresponding constituency P that picks up, input district Z in upstream is offset to the downstream, be offset to the downstream by dropping into district Z certainly, the operator will be from constituency P as the center, to pick up the distance that is elected to be industry and moves and shortens in order to carry out, and can improve operating efficiency.

Again, words according to present embodiment, at each each input district Z, move to the downstream and be filled by accumulation portion 22, product collection container 10, by in dropping into district Z, pick up and be elected to be the product collection container 10 input district Z towards downstream that industry ends and be moved, be not subjected to other influences that drops into district Z, can be displaced into easily and drop between district Z, moving of product collection container 10 is carried out efficiently, can make operator's ability maximization.

Again, words according to present embodiment, by dropping into district Z towards downstream and move and be prevented from, can stop the generation of the product collection container 10 of article 11 deficiencies of being ordered from dropping into district Z certainly, pick up the product collection container 10 that is elected to be industry and do not end (the product collection container 10 that drops into the downstream of district Z certainly).Again, at this moment, in downstream input district Z and position at the input district Z in the downstream of this input district, downstream Z, as usually, the accumulating of lasting and a plurality of product collection container 10, move and be implemented, moving of product collection container 10 is carried out efficiently, can make operator's ability maximization.

Again, in the above-described embodiments, though will drop into telltale 26 is installed on and carries out as the product collection container 10, but as shown in figure 18, to drop into telltale 26, be arranged at the pallet 85 of carrying product collection container 10, via pallet 85 will drop into telltale 26 be arranged at (corresponding to) also can as the product collection container 10.Again, will be as above-mentioned with more than 85 on the pallet that drops into telltale 26, by transfer line B circulation, the formation that can automatically drop into, automatically withdraw from for on-cycle pallet 85, with product collection container 10.

Again, in the present embodiment, order (or user) the user, with continuous order number assignment, be written into RFID 34, by this, the order number is dispensed to the product collection container 10 that input telltale 26 is installed, user or user's the order that is the article of classification destination or classification destination are required information, RFID 34 writes direct, by this, the product collection container 10 that drops into telltale 26 is being installed, can be being divided the article of distribution sort destination or classification destination to require information.

Again, in the present embodiment, though utilize container as product collection container 10, this product collection container 10 can be installed by tool 40 dropping into telltale 26, article 11 temporarily can be taken in, any container all can, for example, can utilize carboard etc.

Again, in the present embodiment, though use numeral (order number) as the distinctive symbol that user's order is determined, the literal of use bar code, letter (alphabet) etc. or pictograph etc. also can.At this moment,, be dispensed to user's order in proper order,, write towards RFID 34 by RFID write device 42B with this with bar code, literal or pictograph decision order.

Again, in the present embodiment, respectively picking up constituency P, though the formation of conduct configuration one people's operator H also can and constitute at the operator H that respectively picks up constituency P configuration plural number (for example, two people).By this, even in dropping into district Z, pick up the product collection container 10 that selects object not have at interval as the situation moved into of quilt, because the operating speed that drops in the district Z rises, can lower product collection container 10 and be trapped in the doubt that each drops into district Z, can improve to pick up and select efficiency of operation.Again, to pick up the article 11 of choosing directly towards product collection container 10 inputs (manually dropping into) though pick up the operator H of constituency P, but pick up constituency P at each, on the first straight line transfer line 21A, be configured into and be about to article 11 and also can as dropping into automatically towards the automatic throw-in equipment of the automatic input of product collection container 10, with article 11.

Again, in the present embodiment, though by changing the color (lamp of finishing button switch 19B of positive space of planes telltale 19 and drop into the first lamp portion 31 of telltale 26 and the color of the lamp 38 of the second lamp portion 33) of picking up constituency P and dropping into the lamp that district Z lights a lamp at each, operator H, can not get the product collection container 10 that drops into from the article 11 that take out from constituency P wrong, but the mode that makes operator H can not get product collection container 10 wrong is that any way all can, for example, the mode of the light intensity of change lamp also can.Again,, color is increased to three looks, per three can be picked up constituency P and drop into district Z designated color and changes colour alternatively respectively though the color of lamp is dichromatism (red and green).

Again, in the present embodiment, transfer line B is made of stacking conveyor and driving rolls conveyer, but also can by free conveyer formation.

Again, in the present embodiment, by clamping operator H, will the flow frame 15 and the first straight line transfer line 21A are disposed at opposition side, but for operator H, storage line A (frame 15 flows) and transfer line B (the first straight line transfer line 21A) are equipped on the same side also can.By this, can be with the article 11 that take out from positive space of planes 16, drop into (implementation is picked up and is elected to be already) towards being carried to the product collection container 10 that drops into district Z at the track of the hand that takes out (picking up choosing) like this, can improve operation.

Again, in the present embodiment, the frame 15 that will flow disposes along the first straight line transfer line 21A, but as long as positive space of planes (article storing portion) 16 is configured in each and picks up constituency P, picks up constituency P, also can with the azimuth configuration at right angle with the first straight line transfer line 21A at each.

Again, in the present embodiment, transfer line B is constituted by circular route, but by a plurality of (for example, two) circular route constitute also can, again, can change the height of carrying face of the product collection container 10 of these circular routes.

In the present embodiment, use the frame 15 that flows to select canopy, but the general canopy that uses article 11 or containing box not to move also can as picking up again.

Again, in the present embodiment, be incorporated in containing box 12 in the article 11 of each canopy 17 of the frame 15 that flows by mounting, but can part (piece) as unit, can increase the hop count of canopy 17.

Again, in the present embodiment, each canopy 17 of the frame 15 that flows is fixed, but can (direction of the first straight line transfer line 21A) formation mobile, that adjust also can at random in front and back.

Again, in the present embodiment, will use banded switch 23 towards the finishing of the article 11 of product collection container 10 as input media, but only be will finish input switch also can, only be that PS (Push Switch) also can.

Again, in the present embodiment, the destination of will classifying is distinguished as the user, but is not limited to the user, and the kind difference of shop difference, commodity etc. or classification difference, region difference, the difference of carrying flat truck etc. also can.
