Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an article storage facility capable of storing articles.
Background
A conventional example of such an article storage facility is described in japanese patent application laid-open No. 2015-171919 (patent document 1). In the article storage facility of patent document 1, a first support surface (the placement surface 42 of the placement-side small container support portion 40) for supporting the first article (the small container B1) and a second support surface (the placement surface 53 of the placement-side large container support member 50) for supporting the second article (the large container B2) are provided at different heights, and the first article and the second article can be stored at the same position. Further, the article storage facility of patent document 1 includes a large and small container positioning and supporting member 50, and the large and small container positioning and supporting member 50 includes a first positioning portion that abuts on a bottom surface portion of a first article to position the first article, and a second positioning portion that abuts on a bottom surface portion of a second article to position the second article.
In the article storage facility of patent document 1, in order to avoid interference of the second type of articles with the first positioning portion when the second type of articles are stored, the second support surface that supports the second type of articles is located at a height higher than the first support surface. The second support surface is formed so as not to overlap the first type of article positioned by the first positioning portion in the vertical direction, so that the first type of article does not interfere with the second support surface when the first type of article is stored. Therefore, the area of the second supporting surface is reduced, and it may be difficult to stably support the second article by the second supporting surface when the second article is stored.
Disclosure of Invention
Therefore, it is desirable to realize an article storage facility that can easily store a first article and a second article in a stable state.
In view of the above-described characteristic features of the article storage facility, it is possible to store a first article having a bottom surface portion with an external shape having a plurality of corner portions in a plan view and a second article having a bottom surface portion with an external shape having a plurality of corner portions in a plan view different from the first article in the same place: the disclosed device is provided with: a support surface for selectively supporting the bottom surface portion of the first article and the bottom surface portion of the second article; a first positioning member provided on the support surface and abutting against a corner of at least a part of the bottom surface portion of the first type of article to position the first type of article; a second positioning member provided on the support surface and abutting against a corner of at least a part of the bottom surface of the second article to position the second article; the first positioning member and the second positioning member are arranged so as to be positioned in such a manner that the first article and the second article are oriented in different directions from each other in a plan view; a bottom surface portion of the first article positioned by the first positioning member and a bottom surface portion of the second article positioned by the second positioning member overlap in a plan view; the first positioning member is disposed so as not to overlap with the bottom surface portion of the second type of article positioned by the second positioning member in a plan view, and the second positioning member is disposed so as not to overlap with the bottom surface portion of the first type of article positioned by the first positioning member in a plan view.
According to these features, since the bottom surface portion of the first article positioned by the first positioning member and the bottom surface portion of the second article positioned by the second positioning member overlap in plan view, the first article and the second article can be stored in a smaller space than in the case where these bottom surface portions do not overlap.
The first positioning member is disposed so as not to overlap with the bottom surface portion of the second type of article positioned by the second positioning member in a plan view, and the second positioning member is disposed so as not to overlap with the bottom surface portion of the first type of article positioned by the first positioning member in a plan view. Therefore, the bottom surface portion of the first article and the bottom surface portion of the second article can be made to have the same height, and the supporting surface for supporting the first article and the supporting surface for supporting the second article can be made common. Thus, the first article and the second article can be supported by the support surface over a large area, and the first article and the second article can be stored in a stable state easily.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, as the article C, there are a first article C1, a second article C2 and a third article C3. Each of the first article C1, the second article C2, and the third article C3 includes a bottom surface portion 6, a top surface portion 7, and a pair of side surface portions 8. Hereinafter, various articles C will be described, but the direction in which the pair of side surface parts 8 are arranged will be referred to as the width direction W, and the direction perpendicular to the width direction W when viewed in the height direction H (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a plan view) will be referred to as the longitudinal direction L.
As shown in fig. 7 to 9, the bottom surface portion 6 is formed in a plate shape along the longitudinal direction L and the width direction W. The bottom portion 6 has a rectangular shape in plan view, with the long side extending in the longitudinal direction L and the short side extending in the width direction W. Further, a recess 10 is formed in each of the 2 opposing short sides of the rectangular bottom surface portion 6. The pair of recesses 10 formed in the bottom surface portion 6 are formed in a rectangular shape. In this way, the bottom surface portion 6 is formed in a rectangular shape having the pair of concave portions 10, and the bottom surface portion 6 is formed in an H-shape.
In other words, the bottom surface portion 6 has 2 side edge portions, and a central portion located between the 2 side edge portions in the width direction W. The length of the central portion is shorter than the length of the side portions (in the present embodiment, the length of the side portions is about 3/4 to 4/5). Further, the width of the central portion is several times the width of the side portions (in the present embodiment, 10 times the width of the first article C1, 8 times the width of the second article C2, and 3 times the width of the third article C3).
The bottom surface portion 6 has an outer shape having a plurality of corner portions 11. The bottom surface portion 6 has at least 4 corners 11, and the 4 corners 11 are located at four corners of the bottom surface portion 6. These 4 corners 11 are referred to as follows. That is, the corner 11 located on the first longitudinal direction L1 side and the first width direction W1 side with respect to the center P of the bottom surface portion 6 is referred to as a first corner 11A. A corner 11 located on the first longitudinal direction L1 side and the second width direction W2 side with respect to the center P of the bottom surface portion 6 is referred to as a second corner 11B. A corner 11 located on the second longitudinal direction L2 side and the first width direction W1 side with respect to the center P of the bottom portion 6 is referred to as a third corner 11C. A corner 11 located on the second longitudinal direction L2 side and the second width direction W2 side with respect to the center P of the bottom surface portion 6 is referred to as a fourth corner 11D.
Further, it is assumed that one direction of the longitudinal direction L is a first longitudinal direction L1, the other direction of the longitudinal direction L is a second longitudinal direction L2, one direction of the width direction W is a first width direction W1, and the other direction of the width direction W is a second width direction W2.
As shown in fig. 3 to 5, the top surface portion 7 is formed in a plate shape along the longitudinal direction L and the width direction W, and the outer shape of the top surface portion 7 is formed in the same shape and size as the outer shape of the bottom surface portion 6.
The pair of side surface portions 8 are formed in a plate shape along the longitudinal direction L and the height direction H, respectively. A slit 8A is formed in the pair of side surface portions 8 along the longitudinal direction L on the surfaces facing each other. A plurality of slits 8A are formed in the height direction H.
The article C is inserted into the slit 8A formed in the pair of side surface portions 8 in the longitudinal direction L to support the plate-like article, and is configured to be able to accommodate the article in a space surrounded by the bottom surface portion 6, the top surface portion 7, and the pair of side surface portions 8 in a state where the article is supported in this manner.
Since the bottom portion 6 is formed as described above, as shown in fig. 7 to 9, the outer shape of the bottom portion 6 in a plan view of the first article C1, the outer shape of the bottom portion 6 in a plan view of the second article C2, and the outer shape of the bottom portion 6 in a plan view of the third article C3 each have the concave portion 10 receding toward the center of the bottom portion 6. In this description, the shape of the bottom portion 6 in plan view of each of the outer shape of the bottom portion 6 in plan view of the first type article C1, the outer shape of the bottom portion 6 in plan view of the second type article C2, and the outer shape of the bottom portion 6 in plan view of the third type article C3 is a rectangular shape, and rectangular recesses 10 are formed in each of the 2 opposing short sides of the rectangular bottom portion 6. The outer shape of the bottom portion 6 in plan view of the first article C1, the outer shape of the bottom portion 6 in plan view of the second article C2, and the outer shape of the bottom portion 6 in plan view of the third article C3 each have a plurality of corners 11.
Further, length D4 of bottom portion 6 of first article C1 is the same length as length D5 of bottom portion 6 of second article C2, but is shorter than length D6 of bottom portion 6 of third article C3. Further, width D1 of bottom surface portion 6 of first article C1 is wider than width D2 of bottom surface portion 6 of second article C2, and width D2 of bottom surface portion 6 of second article C2 is wider than width D3 of bottom surface portion 6 of third article C3. Thus, the first article C1, the second article C2, and the third article C3 have different outer shapes of the bottom portion 6.
Next, the storage shelf 3 and the ceiling transport vehicle 1 will be described, assuming that the direction in which the travel rail 2 extends is the front-rear direction X, and assuming that the direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction X is the left-right direction Y when viewed in the vertical direction Z.

According to this aspect, since the bottom surface portion of the first article positioned by the first positioning member and the bottom surface portion of the second article positioned by the second positioning member overlap in plan view, the first article and the second article can be stored in a smaller space than in a case where these bottom surface portions do not overlap.
The first positioning member is disposed so as not to overlap with the bottom surface portion of the second type of article positioned by the second positioning member in a plan view, and the second positioning member is disposed so as not to overlap with the bottom surface portion of the first type of article positioned by the first positioning member in a plan view. Therefore, the bottom surface portion of the first article and the bottom surface portion of the second article can be made to have the same height, and the supporting surface for supporting the first article and the supporting surface for supporting the second article can be made common. Thus, the first article and the second article can be supported by the support surface over a large area, and the first article and the second article can be stored in a stable state easily.
Here, it is preferable that the outer shape of the bottom surface portion of the first article has a recess receding toward the center of the bottom surface portion; a part of the second positioning member is disposed in the recess of the bottom surface portion of the first type of article positioned by the first positioning member.
According to this aspect, by disposing a part of the second positioning member in the recess of the bottom surface portion of the first type article positioned by the first positioning member using the recess of the bottom surface portion of the first type article, the second positioning member can be disposed in a smaller space than in a case where all of the second positioning member is disposed outside the recess of the bottom surface portion of the first type article.
Preferably, the bottom surface portion of the first article has a rectangular outer shape in plan view, and the recessed portion is formed in each of 2 short sides of the rectangular bottom surface portion that face each other.
According to this aspect, the concave portions are formed at both end portions in the direction along which the long side of the first article is oriented. Further, by disposing a part of the second positioning member in the recess of the bottom surface portion of the first type article positioned by the first positioning member by using the recesses formed at both end portions of the bottom surface portion of the first type article, the second positioning member can be disposed in a small space in a direction along the long side of the first type article to be positioned.
Further, it is preferable that a third article different from the first article and the second article can be stored in the same place as the first article and the second article; a third positioning member provided on the support surface; the third positioning member abuts against a corner of at least a part of the bottom surface portion of the third article to position the third article; the first article, the second article, and the third article have rectangular bottom surface portions in plan view; the third article positioned by the third positioning member overlaps the bottom surface portion of the first article positioned by the first positioning member and the bottom surface portion of the second article positioned by the second positioning member in a plan view; the second positioning member positions the second article such that the first edge of the bottom surface portion of the second article in a plan view is oriented in a clockwise direction in the plan view with respect to the first edge of the first article; the third positioning member positions the third article such that the first edge of the bottom surface portion of the third article in a plan view is oriented in a counterclockwise direction in a plan view with respect to the first edge of the first article.
According to this aspect, since the bottom surface portion of the first article positioned by the first positioning member, the bottom surface portion of the second article positioned by the second positioning member, and the bottom surface portion of the third article positioned by the third positioning member overlap in plan view, the first article, the second article, and the third article can be stored in a smaller space than in a case where the bottom surface portions thereof do not overlap.
In the case where the first type of article is stored on the support surface, the second type of article is stored on the support surface, and the third type of article is stored on the support surface, the first type of article, the second type of article, and the third type of article can be appropriately positioned and stored only by rotating the articles according to the stored articles.
