In this way, shipment device 100 is configured in the case where allowing rejected product to take out, it can be by rejected product storage unit The tobacco articles 40d of (rejected product stores disk 1400) takes out from framework 30.

As shown in figure 20, shipment device 100 has the control unit for each portion movement for uniformly controlling the shipment device 100 80。

That is, control unit 80, which controls light source 122, image pickup part 123, lift motor 125, door, is opened and closed motor 113, platform rotation motor 85, X drive motor 82, Z drive motor 83, bar code reading part 57, arm drive motor 86a, 86b and arm drive solenoid The movement of 87a, 87b.

The configuration of control unit 80 is not particularly limited, but control unit 80 is such as by being configured in framework 30, and matched It is placed near reading part (reading unit 121) and incorporating section 10.

The rejected product information obtained to the input of control unit 80 using acquisition unit 1300, the letter read using image pickup part 123 Identification information breath (manufacture information 49) and read using bar code reading part 57.CPU80a be stored in these information The processing of RAM80c.

Then, illustrate to act.

Firstly, explanation is stored in the shipment movement of the tobacco articles 40 of incorporating section 10.

If inputting shipment order from shipment order acquisition unit 81 to control unit 80, control unit 80 is by referring to RAM80c Storage content, and determine whether the tobacco articles of corresponding with shipment order type (brand) are accommodated in incorporating section 10.

It, can not shipment tobacco articles 40 corresponding with shipment order in the case where not being contained.In this case, control Portion 80 also can be used notice mechanism (not shown), carry out can not shipment tobacco articles 40 notice.

In the case where being contained, control unit 80 reads the reception position of the tobacco articles 40 of type corresponding with shipment order Information.It should be noted that in the case where incorporating section 10 is accommodated with tobacco articles 40 of multiple types corresponding with shipment order, Control unit 80 reads the reception position information for being wherein accommodated in the tobacco articles 40 of incorporating section 10 (under earliest opportunity) at first. It reads the shelf-life information 48 of tobacco articles 40 but it is also possible to advance with reading unit 121 and is stored in RAM80c, and read Take the reception position letter of the tobacco articles 40 of the shelf-life nearest (i.e. oldest) in the tobacco articles of type corresponding with shipment order Breath.

Moreover, control unit 80 carries out X to move transport unit 50 to position corresponding with the reception position information of reading The action control of drive motor 82 and Z drive motor 83.

The movement that the tobacco articles 40 of shipment object are accommodated in the situation of storage column 11d is same as first embodiment, because And it omits the description.

Then, illustrate movement when putting into tobacco articles 40 to investment column 15.

If operator puts into tobacco articles 40 to investment column 15, and closes open-close lid, that is, top plate portion 32, then control unit 80 The meaning is recognized based on the testing result for covering switch 84.

In this way, controlling lift motor 125, light source 122 and image pickup part 123 by control unit 80, and carry out from investment column 15 Each tobacco articles 40 second end face 47 read manufacture information 49 processing.

In addition, control unit 80 makes each manufacture information 49 read be stored in RAM80c.Here, control unit 80 for example will be each A manufacture information 49 is associated with simultaneously with the location information foundation of the reading unit 121 in Z-direction when reading each manufacture information 49 Storage.

In addition, in the case where RAM80c is previously stored with rejected product information, control unit 80 is by by each manufacture information 49 with rejected product information contrast, and determine investment to investment column 15 tobacco articles 40 in whether there is rejected product tobacco Commodity 40d.

There are in the case where the tobacco articles 40d of rejected product in the tobacco articles 40 of investment to investment column 15, control Portion 80 carries out the action control of transport unit 50, stores the tobacco articles 40d of rejected product from investment column 15 to rejected product Disk 1400 transports.

Here, as noted previously, as each manufacture information 49 and the reading in Z-direction when reading each manufacture information 49 The location information of unit 121, which is established, to be associated with and is stored in RAM80c, so control unit 80 can recognize the tobacco of rejected product Location information in the Z-direction of commodity 40d.Control unit 80, which is able to carry out, as a result, makes transport unit 50 be moved to rejected product The front position of tobacco articles 40d and the processing for extracting tobacco articles 40d out from investment column 15 using transport unit.

Since the movement and the movement for extracting tobacco articles 40 out from storage column 11 of extracting tobacco articles 40d out from investment column 15 are same Sample, so detailed description will be omitted.

After the investment extraction of column 15 tobacco articles 40d, by opening the front end of a pair of of arm 54, and make tobacco articles 40d is slided to mesa-shaped portion 51, becomes the state that tobacco articles 40d is supported by mesa-shaped portion 51.

Then, transport unit 50 is made to be moved to the upper position that rejected product slides inclined-plane 142 as shown in Figure 18 (a) and Figure 15 It sets.

Then, as shown in Figure 18 (b) and Figure 15, by make mesa-shaped portion 51 rotate downwards plate face until mesa-shaped portion 51 at To be vertical, and so that tobacco articles 40d is fallen to rejected product and slide on inclined-plane 142.

Fall to the upper surface that the tobacco articles 40d that rejected product slides on inclined-plane 142 slides inclined-plane 142 along rejected product It rearward slides, investment to rejected product stores disk 1400.

It should be noted that the case where the tobacco articles 40 put into investment column 15 include multiple tobacco articles 40d Under, make transport unit 50 repeat similarly to act.

Remain (the tobacco of qualified product of tobacco articles 40 in addition to rejected product in investment column 15 as a result, becoming Commodity) state.

When then, in order to re-fetch rejected product information later compare use, and carry out from remain on investment column 15 it is each The second end face 47 of tobacco articles 40 reads again the processing of manufacture information 49, and control unit 80 is by each manufacture information 49 of reading It is stored in RAM80c.Here, control unit 80 also by it is each manufacture information 49 and read it is each manufacture information 49 when Z-direction on The location information of reading unit 121, which is established, to be associated with and stores.

It should be noted that being free of the tobacco articles 40d of rejected product in the tobacco articles 40 put into investment column 15 In the case where, it is convenient to omit the processing of manufacture information 49 is read again from the tobacco articles 40 of investment column 15.

In addition, the tobacco articles 40 of the only top layer in the tobacco articles 40 put into investment column 15 are rejected product In the case of or the tobacco articles 40 in only top layer and lower section adjacent to the tobacco articles 40 one or more tobacco articles 40 is inferior the case where being rejected product, is remaining on investment before and after the tobacco articles 40d that investment column 15 extracts rejected product out In the indeclinable situation of configuration of the tobacco articles 40 of column 15, it is convenient to omit read again system from the tobacco articles 40 of investment column 15 Make the processing of information 49.

In addition, correcting the reading list in each manufacture information 49 and Z-direction if the known thickness based on tobacco articles 40 The corresponding relationship of the location information of member 121 then can be omitted from the tobacco articles 40 of investment column 15 and read again manufacture information 49 Processing.

Then, the tobacco articles 40 for carrying out to put into column 15 are transported to the processing in the empty space 61 of incorporating section 10.

Firstly, transport unit 50 is made to be moved to the arbitrary tobacco articles 40 of investment column 15 (for example, remaining on investment column 15 Tobacco articles 40 in top layer tobacco articles 40) front position.

Then, identification information is obtained and reading bar code 41 of the tobacco articles 40 using bar code reading part 57, And the identification information is stored in RAM80c.Here, control unit 80 by identification information and read the identification information when Z-direction on Reading unit 50 location information establish be associated with and store.

Here, for each tobacco articles 40, the position letter of the reading unit in Z-direction when reading manufacture information 49 It ceases, is identical or equal as the location information of transport unit 50 in Z-direction when reading bar code 41, pass can be established each other Connection.

Therefore, for each tobacco articles 40, identification information is established each other with manufacture information 49 and is associated with and is stored in RAM80c。

Then, it carries out the tobacco articles 40 using transport unit 50 from the processing extracted out of investment column 15 and by the tobacco Commodity 40 are transported to the processing in the empty space 61 of incorporating section 10.

Firstly, since extracting the dynamic of tobacco articles 40 out with from storage column 11 from the movement that investment column 15 extracts tobacco articles 40 out Make it is identical, so detailed description will be omitted.

Here, being momentarily placed in tobacco articles 40 when transporting tobacco articles 40 to empty space 61 from investment column 15 In mesa-shaped portion 51, maintain to clamp the state of tobacco articles 40 using a pair of of arm 54, and transport unit 50 is made to be moved to empty sky Between 61 front position, which is configured to empty space 61.

When tobacco articles 40 are configured at empty space 61, firstly, clamping tobacco articles 40 using a pair of of arm 54 In the state of, protrude a pair of of arm 54 rearward from sidewall portion 53, and a pair of of arm 54 and tobacco articles 40 are inserted in receipts Receive column 11.The tobacco articles 40 or support the upper of base station 21 that tobacco articles 40 are moved on the downside of empty space 61 as a result, Side.

Then, by opening the front end of a pair of of arm 54, and tobacco articles 40 are placed under empty space 61 On the tobacco articles 40 or bearing base station 21 of side.That is, tobacco articles 40 are configured in empty space 61.

Here, control unit 80 is by the identification information of each tobacco articles 40 and manufactures information 49 and each tobacco articles 40 Different reception position information, which is established, to be associated with and is stored in RAM80c.

As described above, reception position information is configured to including, for example, height position information and horizontal position information.

Height position information can be believed to indicate the Z coordinate of the coordinate (i.e. coordinate, that is, Z coordinate of Z-direction) of short transverse Breath, or indicate the segment number information of the position of which section in storage column 11.

As Z coordinate information, such as it is able to use to represent and tobacco articles 40 is configured at empty space 61 and makes to remove The Building Z mark of transport unit 50 when unit 50 being sent to be moved to the front position in empty space 61 has regulation related to the Z coordinate Coordinate information.

In addition, horizontal position information may be to indicate that tobacco articles 40 are accommodated in the column information of which storage column 11, It but may be the information for indicating the coordinate of the tobacco articles 40 in horizontal direction.That is, horizontal position information is also configured to Coordinate, that is, X-coordinate X-coordinate information comprising indicating the tobacco articles 40 in X-direction.

As horizontal position information, such as it is able to use to represent and tobacco articles 40 is configured at empty space 61 and made The X-coordinate of transport unit 50 when transport unit 50 is moved to the front position in empty space 61 has regulation phase with the X-coordinate The information of the coordinate of pass.

As long as free space 61, that is, it may be repeated and transport the tobacco articles 40 for putting into column 15 to empty space 61 Movement.

In this way, the tobacco articles 40 for becoming the qualified product in the tobacco articles 40 put into investment column 15 are accommodated in incorporating section Identification information, manufacture information 49 and the reception position information for each tobacco articles 40 that incorporating section 10 is stored while 10 are each other Establish the state for being associated with and being stored in RAM80c.
