Such an article storage rack may have a storage space formed long in the depth direction so as to be able to store, for example, articles long in the depth direction and a plurality of articles arranged side by side in the depth direction. In such a case, two rack units (a first rack unit and a second rack unit) each including a plurality of struts, a beam member connecting the struts to each other, and a support member supporting an article may be used by being connected in the depth direction. Such a structure is disclosed in, for example, fig. 11 and 12 of japanese patent application laid-open No. 9-40125 (patent document 1).
When the two rack units are used by being coupled in this way, there is a problem in that the positional engagement in the height direction of the plurality of support members that collectively support the same article is difficult.
Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
Accordingly, it is desirable that the article accommodating rack used by coupling the two rack units can easily perform positional engagement in the height direction of the support member for supporting the article.
Means for solving the problems
An article storage rack according to the present disclosure is an article storage rack for storing articles, comprising: a first rack unit including a plurality of first struts, first beam members for coupling the first struts to each other, and first support members for supporting the article at a predetermined height, the first support members being attached to the first struts or the first beam members; the second rack unit includes a plurality of second struts, a second beam member for connecting the second struts to each other, and a second support member for supporting the article at the predetermined height, the second support member being attached to the second struts or the second beam member, the connection support member being configured such that one of the plurality of first struts is a first strut for the object, one of the plurality of second struts is a second strut for the object, the first strut for the object and the second strut for the object are connected in a state of being adjacent to each other, and the article is supported at the predetermined height, the first strut for the object is provided with a first screw hole into which a first bolt for fixing the connection support member is screwed, the second strut for the object is provided with a second screw hole into which a second bolt for fixing the connection support member is screwed, the first strut for the object and the second strut for the object are arranged side by side in a side direction of the horizontal direction, the first strut for the object and the second strut for the object are arranged side by side in a side direction of the side of the object, the first strut for the object and the object is configured such that the first through-side of the first through-hole for the object and the object through-side of the object insertion support member is configured such that the first through-hole for the first through-side of the object and the object insertion through-hole for the object insertion, the first support is slidably attached to the subject first support in the side-by-side direction between a first position and a second position, the first screw hole communicates with the first insertion through hole and the second screw hole communicates with the second insertion through hole in a state where the coupling support member is in the first position, and the first insertion through hole is located on a first side in the side-by-side direction than the first screw hole and the second insertion through hole is located on a first side in the side-by-side direction than the second screw hole in a state where the coupling support member is in the second position.
According to this configuration, the object first support column of the first rack unit and the object second support column of the second rack unit can be coupled in the side-by-side direction using the common coupling support member. Before the article accommodating rack is installed, the first rack unit and the coupling support member and the second rack unit mounted on the first support column of the first rack unit can be transported separately, so that even a large article accommodating rack can be transported properly. In this case, by bringing the coupling support member slidably attached to the first support column to the second position, the protruding amount of the coupling support member from the first rack unit can be suppressed to be small, and the problem of the coupling support member being caught by another object during transportation can be reduced. In addition, when the article accommodating rack is installed, only the coupling support member at the second position is slid in the side-by-side direction to be in the first position, that is, the first screw hole is communicated with the first insertion through hole, and the second screw hole is communicated with the second insertion through hole. In this state, only the first bolt is screwed into the first screw hole, and the second bolt is screwed into the second screw hole, that is, the first rack unit and the second rack unit can be coupled using the coupling support member. Further, at this time, since only the coupling support members are slid in the side-by-side direction and the positions of the coupling support members in the height direction are maintained in a certain state, the coupling support members can be fixed at the height to be engaged with the first support member and the second support member without particularly adjusting the height of the coupling support members. Thus, in the article accommodating rack used by coupling the two rack units, the position of the supporting member supporting the article in the height direction can be easily engaged.
Further features and advantages of the technology to which the present disclosure relates will become more apparent from the following description of exemplary and non-limiting embodiments, which are described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Detailed Description
Embodiments of the article storage rack will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, as an example, an article storage rack 1 used in a storage facility 100 for storing and storing a substrate such as a glass substrate for a liquid crystal display or the like is described. As shown in fig. 1, the storage facility 100 of the present embodiment is installed in a clean room C. The storage facility 100 includes a conveying device 90 and an article storage rack 1. In the present embodiment, the storage facility 100 includes the conveying device 90 and the pair of article storage shelves 1, and the pair of article storage shelves 1 are arranged so as to face each other with the conveying device 90 interposed therebetween.
In the following description, the left-right direction of the article storage rack 1 as viewed from the conveying device 90 side is referred to as "width direction W", and the front-rear direction is referred to as "depth direction D". The height direction of the conveying device 90 and the article storage rack 1 is referred to as "vertical direction H". As will be described in detail later, the article storage rack 1 of the present embodiment is configured by connecting two rack units (the first rack unit 10 and the second rack unit 20) in a state of being aligned in the depth direction D, and the depth direction D corresponds to the "alignment direction". The side of the depth direction D on which the first rack unit 10 is disposed is referred to as a "first depth direction side D1", and the side of the depth direction opposite to the side on which the second rack unit 20 is disposed is referred to as a "second depth direction side D2". In the present embodiment, the first side D1 in the depth direction corresponds to the "first side in the parallel direction", and the second side D2 in the depth direction corresponds to the "second side in the parallel direction".
The transport device 90 is, for example, a stacker crane, and includes a traveling carriage 91, a mast 92, a lift 93, and a transfer device 94. The traveling carriage 91 travels along a travel rail 102 provided on the floor portion 101. The mast 92 is erected on the traveling carriage 91. The upper end of the mast 92 is guided by a guide rail 104 provided in the ceiling 103. The lift table 93 moves up and down while being guided by the mast 92. The transfer device 94 is provided on the lifting table 93, and transfers the article a between the article storage rack 1 and the lifting table.
As the article a accommodated in the article accommodating rack 1, there is not particularly limited, and as one example, a cassette type container accommodating a plurality of glass substrates can be exemplified. The container is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape in which a plurality of rectangular glass substrates can be accommodated in a state of being arranged side by side with an interval in the vertical direction H. The container is formed long in the depth direction D, and has a length of, for example, 2m or more and 3m or more in the depth direction D. In the following description, the article a formed longer in the depth direction D in this way is sometimes referred to as "long article a".
In order to accommodate the long article a, the article accommodating shelf 1 is also formed long in the depth direction D. However, in the case where such an article storage rack 1 is transported from a factory to a site by a transport vehicle such as a truck and is installed, there are some restrictions on the size that can be loaded on the transport vehicle, and therefore it is often difficult to load the article storage rack 1 that is long in the depth direction D as it is. Therefore, the article storage rack 1 of the present embodiment is configured to include two rack units, i.e., the first rack unit 10 and the second rack unit 20, and is completed by being coupled in the field after being individually transported.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the article accommodating rack 1 includes, as main constituent elements, a first rack unit 10, a second rack unit 20, and a coupling support member 30 that couples them. In the present embodiment, the first rack unit 10 is disposed on the back side (one example of the first side D1 in the depth direction) in the depth direction D, and the second rack unit 20 is disposed adjacent to the front side (one example of the second side D2 in the depth direction) thereof, and these are coupled to each other by the coupling support member 30.
The first rack unit 10 includes a first pillar 11, a first beam member 12, and a first support member 14. The first support 11 is disposed along the up-down direction H. The first struts 11 are provided in plural in a state of being spaced apart from each other in the front-rear-left-right direction. The first beam member 12 couples two first struts 11 disposed apart in the depth direction D at positions in the same width direction W to each other. In the present embodiment, the first support member 14 is attached to the first column 11, and supports the article a at a predetermined height. Here, the "predetermined height" may be set to only a single height or may be set to a plurality of heights. When the "predetermined height" is set to a plurality of heights, the interval in the vertical direction H is a length obtained by adding a certain margin to the height of the accommodated article a.
Among the plurality of (in this example, two) first struts 11 disposed at the same position in the width direction W, the fan filter unit 17 is fixed to the first strut 11 disposed on the first side D1 (the rear side) in the depth direction and further to the first side D1 (the rear side) in the depth direction. The fan filter unit 17 performs the function of blowing the cleaning gas. Among the plurality of (in this example, two) first struts 11 disposed at the same position in the width direction W, the first strut 11 disposed on the second side D2 (near-front side) in the depth direction is the "target first strut 11T" coupled to the second frame unit 20.
As shown in fig. 3, the target first stay 11T includes a first screw hole 16 into which a first bolt 61 for fixing the coupling support member 30 is screwed. In the present embodiment, the target first pillar 11T includes first groove portions 11R extending in the vertical direction H on each side surface, and a first tapping plate 15 having first screw holes 16 formed therein is provided at predetermined positions of the first groove portions 11R in the width direction W. In this example, the first screw holes 16 are formed in three places near the upper end portion, the central portion, and the lower end portion of the first tapping plate 15. The first bolt 61 is screwed into the first screw hole 16 while being inserted into the long hole 35 formed in the coupling support member 30, and the coupling support member 30 is fixed to the target first stay 11T. Further, fig. 3 also illustrates the first buffer member 41 that is fastened together with the coupling support member 30 by the first bolt 61 at the time of conveyance of the first rack unit 10.
Although not shown, the first support 11 other than the target first support 11T is also provided with a groove extending in the vertical direction H on each side surface, and a tapping plate having a screw hole formed therein is provided at a predetermined position of the groove in the width direction W. The first support member 14 (see fig. 2) is fixed to the first support post 11 other than the target first support post 11T by bolts screwed into the screw holes of the tapping plate.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the second rack unit 20 includes a second pillar 21, a second beam member 22, and a second support member 24. The second support column 21 is disposed along the up-down direction H. The second struts 21 are provided in plural numbers at intervals in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. The second beam member 22 couples two second struts 21 disposed apart in the depth direction D at the same position in the width direction W to each other. In the present embodiment, the second support member 24 is attached to the second support column 21, and supports the article a at a predetermined height. Here, the "predetermined height" is set to be the same height as the height at which the first support member 14 is mounted in the first rack unit 10.
Of the plurality of (in this example, two) second struts 21 disposed at the same position in the width direction W, the second strut 21 disposed on the first side D1 (the rear side) in the depth direction becomes the "target second strut 21T" coupled to the first frame unit 10. Among the plurality of (in this example, two) second struts 21 disposed at the same position in the width direction W, the second strut 21 disposed on the second side D2 (near front side) in the depth direction is set to have a shorter length in the up-down direction H than the target second strut 21T and the first strut 11 of the first rack unit 10 (see fig. 1).
As shown in fig. 4, the target second stay 21T includes a second screw hole 26 into which a second bolt 62 for fixing the coupling support member 30 is screwed. In the present embodiment, the target second pillar 21T includes second groove portions 21R extending in the vertical direction H on each side surface, and the second tapping plate 25 having second screw holes 26 formed therein is provided at predetermined positions of the second groove portions 21R in the width direction W. The second bolt 62 is screwed into the second screw hole 26 while being inserted into the long hole 35 formed in the coupling support member 30, and the coupling support member 30 is fixed to the target second stay 21T. The first rack unit 10 and the second rack unit 20 are fixed to both the target first column 11T and the target second column 21T by the coupling support members 30, and are coupled via the coupling support members 30 (see fig. 10). Further, in fig. 4, the cover member 50 and the second cushioning member 42, which are fastened together by the second bolts 62 at the time of conveyance of the second rack unit 20, are also illustrated.
Although not shown, the second support 21 other than the target second support 21T is also provided with a groove extending in the vertical direction H on each side surface, and a tapping plate having a screw hole formed at a predetermined position of the groove in the width direction W is provided. The second support member 24 (see fig. 2) is fixed to the second support post 21 other than the target second support post 21T by bolts screwed into the screw holes of the tapping plate.
The coupling support member 30 couples the target first pillar 11T of the first rack unit 10 and the target second pillar 21T of the second rack unit 20 in a state adjacent to each other, and supports the article a at a prescribed height. As shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the coupling support member 30 couples the object first pillar 11T and the object second pillar 21T arranged adjacent to each other in the depth direction D. The joint support member 30 is mounted at the same height (predetermined height) as the first support member 14 mounted on the first rack unit 10 and the second support member 24 mounted on the second rack unit 20. Thus, the coupling support member 30 supports the end portion on one side in the width direction W of the article a from below at a predetermined height by cooperation of the first support member 14 and the second support member 24. In addition, by their cooperation with the other first support member 14, second support member 24, and coupling support member 30 group located on the other side in the width direction W of the article a, the entire article a is supported from below at a prescribed height.
As shown in fig. 3, the coupling support member 30 includes a coupling member 31 and a support member 39. The coupling member 31 and the support member 39 are integrally formed by welding or the like. The coupling member 31 is a portion for achieving an effect mainly for coupling the first frame unit 10 and the second frame unit 20, and in the present embodiment, includes a main body portion 32, an inclined portion 36, and an abutment portion 37. In the illustrated example, the body portion 32, the inclined portion 36, and the abutment portion 37 are integrally formed, and they are formed by bending a flat plate-like plate material at two locations. The main body 32 is provided at the center of the coupling support member 30 in the depth direction D, and is provided with an inclined portion 36 and an abutment portion 37 at both sides thereof.
The main body 32 has a first insertion through hole 33 and a second insertion through hole 34. The first bolt 61 is inserted through the first insertion through hole 33, and the second bolt 62 is inserted through the second insertion through hole 34. In this way, the coupling support member 30 has the first insertion through hole 33 through which the first bolt 61 can be inserted and the second insertion through hole 34 through which the second bolt 62 can be inserted. In the present embodiment, the first insertion through hole 33 and the second insertion through hole 34 are constituted by a series of long holes 35 continuous in the depth direction D. In addition, a plurality of (three in this example) long holes 35 are formed separately in three portions near the upper end portion, the central portion, and the lower end portion of the main body portion 32.
The length of the long hole 35 is set to a length corresponding to the separation length between the first groove portion 11R on the first side D1 (back side) in the depth direction in the first pillar 11T and the second groove portion 21R (front side) on the second side D2 (front side) in the depth direction in the second pillar 21T (see fig. 4). In the long hole 35 of the first insertion through hole 33 and the second insertion through hole 34, a portion closer to the first side D1 (the back side) in the depth direction than the center in the depth direction D functions as the first insertion through hole 33, and a portion closer to the second side D2 (the front side) in the depth direction than the center in the depth direction D functions as the second insertion through hole 34.
The coupling support member 30 is slidably attached to the first pillar 11T in the depth direction D between the first position P1 and the second position P2. Here, the first position P1 is a position (see fig. 8) where the first screw hole 16 communicates with a portion of the long hole 35 that functions as the first insertion through hole 33 (a portion of the long hole 35 that is located further toward the second side D2 than the center), and the second screw hole 26 communicates with a portion of the long hole 35 that functions as the second insertion through hole 34 (a portion of the long hole 35 that is located further toward the second side D2 than the center). The second position P2 is a position (see fig. 7, etc.) in which a portion of the long hole 35 that functions as the first insertion through hole 33 (a portion of the second side D2 in the depth direction that is closer to the center) is located on the first side D1 in the depth direction than the first screw hole 16, and a portion of the long hole 35 that functions as the second insertion through hole 34 (a portion of the second side D2 in the depth direction that is closer to the center) is located on the first side D1 in the depth direction that is closer to the second screw hole 26.
In the present embodiment, the coupling support member 30 is slidably moved within the length range of the long hole 35 in a state where the first bolt 61 screwed into the first screw hole 16 is inserted through the long hole 35 and the second bolt 62 is not screwed into the second screw hole 26. In such a configuration, the second position P2 is also a position where the first screw hole 16 communicates with a portion of the long hole 35 that functions as the second insertion through hole 34 (a portion on the second side D2 in the depth direction than the center in the depth direction D).
The coupling support member 30 is attached to the target first stay 11T of the first rack unit 10 in a state of being located at the second position P2 at the stage of shipment from the factory (see fig. 5). In the present embodiment, the first cushioning member 41 is provided so as to overlap the coupling support member 30 at this stage, and the coupling support member 30 and the first cushioning member 41 are fastened together by the first bolt 61.
At the time of assembling the article accommodating rack 1 at the installation site, the joint support member 30 is slidingly moved to the first position P1 across the subject first pillar 11T mounted to the first rack unit 10 and the subject second pillar 21T of the second rack unit 20 (refer to fig. 8 to 10).
The inclined portion 36 is provided at an end of the depth direction second side D2 in the coupling support member 30. The inclined portion 36 is formed to extend obliquely from the main body portion 32 to the opposite side of the target first pillar 11T and the target second pillar 21T. That is, the inclined portion 36 is formed to be inclined toward the side away from the target second pillar 21T as going toward the depth direction second side D2. The angle formed between the main body 32 and the inclined portion 36 is preferably any angle ranging from 105 ° to 150 °, for example, and more preferably about 120 ° ± 5 °. The inclined portion 36 functions as a guide portion for guiding the target second support 21T to a position adjacent to the target first support 11T when the target second support 21T is moved close to the target first support 11T to which the coupling support member 30 is attached.
The abutment portion 37 is provided at an end portion of the first side D1 in the depth direction in the coupling support member 30. The contact portion 37 is formed to extend from the main body portion 32 to the first pillar 11T opposite to the inclined portion. The abutting portion 37 is bent substantially orthogonal to the main body portion 32, and abuts against the entire side surface of the first side D1 facing the depth direction in the target first pillar 11T in the state where the coupling support member 30 is at the first position P1. The abutment 37 functions as a stopper in the sliding movement of the coupling support member 30. The abutting portion 37 functions as a reinforcing portion that receives a moment load applied to the joint support member 30 when the article a is supported in a state of abutting against the target first pillar 11T.
The support member 39 includes a connection portion 39A and a mounting portion 39B. The connection portion 39A is fixed to protrude in the width direction W on a surface of the main body portion 32 of the coupling member 31 on the opposite side to the object first support column 11T and the object second support column 21T side. The mounting portion 39B is fixed to the upper surface of the front end side of the connecting portion 39A. The placement portion 39B is a portion on which the article a is directly placed, and is formed of a resin material such as ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHPE), polyether ketone (PEEK), polyacetal (POM), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyimide (PI), and ABS, for example, at least on the surface thereof.
The article storage rack 1 of the present embodiment includes a cover member 50 in addition to the first rack unit 10, the second rack unit 20, and the coupling support member 30 described above. As shown in fig. 4, the cover member 50 is configured by mainly forming a main body portion 51 formed in a long and thin rectangular plate shape, and a hole portion 52 and a cutout portion 53 are formed in the main body portion 51. In this example, two hole portions 52 and two cutout portions 53 are formed in the main body portion 51 in a row.
The cover member 50 is attached to the target second stay 21T of the second rack unit 20 at the stage of shipment from the factory (see fig. 4 and 5). The cover member 50 is attached to the target second support 21T by screwing the second bolt 62 into the second screw hole 26 of the target second support 21T with the second bolt 62 inserted through the hole 52. In the present embodiment, the second cushioning member 42 is provided so as to overlap the cover member 50 at this stage, and the cover member 50 and the second cushioning member 42 are fastened together by the second bolts 62.
In assembling the article storage shelves 1 at the installation site, the cover member 50 spans the target first support column 11T mounted to the first shelf unit 10 and the target second support column 21T of the second shelf unit 20 (see fig. 9 and 10). At this time, the cover member 50 is overlapped with the coupling support member 30, and is fastened together by the first bolt 61 and the second bolt 62 in a state of covering the long hole 35 formed in the coupling support member 30.
Hereinafter, the order of assembling the article storage shelves 1 of the present embodiment in the field will be described focusing on the first support column 11T of the first shelf unit 10, the second support column 21T of the second shelf unit 20, and the peripheral components thereof.
As shown in fig. 5, the first rack unit 10 and the second rack unit 20 constituting the article accommodating rack 1 are transported in a separated state. At this time, the coupling support member 30 is mounted to the target first stay 11T of the first rack unit 10 via the first buffer member 41 by the first bolt 61 in the state of being located at the second position P2. In the state where the coupling support member 30 is located at the second position P2, the amount of protrusion of the coupling support member 30 from the first rack unit 10 to the second side D2 in the depth direction is suppressed to be small, and thus, there is less trouble such as being caught by other objects at the time of conveyance. The cover member 50 is attached to the target second stay 21T of the second rack unit 20 via the second buffer member 42 by the second bolt 62. The cover member 50 is mounted near the depth direction second side D2 so that the protruding amount from the second rack unit 20 toward the depth direction first side D1 becomes as small as possible.
In the present embodiment, since the first rack unit 10 is disposed on the rear side in the depth direction D with respect to the second rack unit 20, the first rack unit 10 is first provided at a predetermined position. The second rack unit 20 is temporarily placed at a predetermined interval in the depth direction D with respect to the first rack unit 10. In this state, as shown in fig. 6, the second bolt 62 is removed from the target second stay 21T, and the cover member 50 and the second cushioning member 42 are removed. Further, the first bolt 61 attached to the subject first stay 11T is loosened (but not removed), and the first buffer member 41 is removed. The second bolt 62 and the cover member 50 are left as they are, among the removed parts, since they are used later. The first buffer member 41 and the second buffer member 42 can be discarded.
Next, the second rack unit 20 is moved close to the first rack unit 10 which is already set. As a result, as shown in fig. 7, the target first pillar 11T and the target second pillar 21T are adjacent to each other in the depth direction D. At this time, even if the target first support 11T and the target second support 21T are slightly offset in the width direction W (in particular, the target second support 21T is offset toward the coupling support member 30 side with respect to the target first support 11T), the inclined portion 36 provided to the coupling support member 30 functions as a guide portion, and the target second support 21T can be made adjacent to the target first support 11T in a state where the target second support 21T and the target first support 11T are aligned at the same position in the width direction W.
Next, as shown in fig. 8, the coupling support member 30 previously located at the second position P2 is slidingly moved toward the second side D2 in the depth direction. This sliding movement is continued until the abutment portion 37 provided on the coupling support member 30 abuts against the side surface of the first side D1 in the depth direction of the first pillar 11T. Then, when the contact portion 37 contacts the side surface of the target first pillar 11T, the coupling support member 30 is positioned at the first position P1. In a state where the coupling support member 30 is located at the first position P1, the long hole 35 formed in the coupling support member 30 communicates with both the first screw hole 16 of the target first stay 11T and the second screw hole 26 of the target second stay 21T.
Next, the cover member 50 is mounted with respect to the subject first stay 11T, the subject second stay 21T, and the joint support member 30 in the temporarily assembled state. At this time, as shown in fig. 9, the cover member 50 is attached to the first bolt 61 which is only loosened and not removed, and the first bolt 61 is inserted from above in a state of being inserted into the through cut portion 53. Thereby, most of the long hole 35 is shielded by the cover member 50. The hole 52 formed in the cover member 50 is in communication with the second screw hole 26 of the target second stay 21T via the long hole 35.
Finally, as shown in fig. 10, the second bolt 62 is inserted through the hole portion 52 of the cover member 50 and the long hole 35 of the coupling support member 30, screwed into the second screw hole 26 of the target second stay 21T, fastened, and further fastened with the first bolt 61. Thus, in this portion, in a state where the long hole 35 is shielded, the object first pillar 11T and the object second pillar 21T are coupled by the coupling support member 30. By performing the above operations at a plurality of locations in the up-down direction H and the width direction W, the first rack unit 10 and the second rack unit 20 are firmly coupled as a whole, and the article accommodating rack 1 is completed.
As described above, in the article storage rack 1 of the present embodiment, since the article storage rack 1 is configured by coupling the first rack unit 10 and the second rack unit 20, the two rack units 10 and 20 can be separately transported, and the transport can be easily performed. In addition, in the installation site, the first rack unit 10 and the second rack unit 20 are coupled by the coupling support member 30 slidable in the depth direction D, so that the assembly work can be easily performed with fewer parts. When the coupling support members 30 are slid in the side-by-side direction, the position of the coupling support members 30 in the height direction is maintained at a predetermined height by the first bolts 61, and therefore, the coupling support members 30 can be fixed at the height to be engaged with the first support members 14 and the second support members 24 without particularly adjusting the height of the coupling support members 30.

[ Summary of the embodiments ]
In summary, the article storage rack according to the present disclosure preferably includes the following configurations.
The first rack unit, possess a plurality of first support posts, first beam member that connects the aforesaid first support posts each other, and the aforesaid first support member that supports the aforesaid article in the prescribed height, the aforesaid first support member is installed on aforesaid first support post or aforesaid first beam member; the second rack unit includes a plurality of second struts, a second beam member for connecting the second struts to each other, and a second support member for supporting the article at the predetermined height, the second support member being attached to the second struts or the second beam member, and a connecting support member for arranging one of the plurality of first struts in a direction parallel to the first struts in the horizontal direction, connecting the first struts and the second struts in a state adjacent to each other, and supporting the article at the predetermined height, the first struts include first screw holes into which first bolts for fixing the connecting support member are screwed, the second struts include second screw holes into which second bolts for fixing the connecting support member are screwed, arranging the first struts and the second struts in a direction parallel to each other in the horizontal direction, arranging the first struts and the second struts in a direction parallel to each other, arranging the first struts and the articles in a first through-hole capable of inserting the first through-hole in the direction parallel to the first struts in the horizontal direction, and arranging the first through-hole capable of inserting the first through-hole in the direction, the first support is slidably attached to the subject first support in the side-by-side direction between a first position and a second position, the first screw hole communicates with the first insertion through hole and the second screw hole communicates with the second insertion through hole in a state where the coupling support member is in the first position, and the first insertion through hole is located on a first side in the side-by-side direction than the first screw hole and the second insertion through hole is located on a first side in the side-by-side direction than the second screw hole in a state where the coupling support member is in the second position.
According to this configuration, the object first support column of the first rack unit and the object second support column of the second rack unit can be coupled in the side-by-side direction using the common coupling support member. Before the article accommodating rack is installed, the first rack unit and the coupling support member and the second rack unit mounted on the first support column of the first rack unit can be transported separately, so that even a large article accommodating rack can be transported properly. In this case, by bringing the coupling support member slidably attached to the first support column to the second position, the protruding amount of the coupling support member from the first rack unit can be suppressed to be small, and the problem of the coupling support member being caught by another object during transportation can be reduced. In addition, when the article accommodating rack is installed, only the coupling support member at the second position is slid in the side-by-side direction to be in the first position, that is, the first screw hole is communicated with the first insertion through hole, and the second screw hole is communicated with the second insertion through hole. In this state, only the first bolt is screwed into the first screw hole, and the second bolt is screwed into the second screw hole, that is, the first rack unit and the second rack unit can be coupled using the coupling support member. Further, at this time, since only the coupling support members are slid in the side-by-side direction and the positions of the coupling support members in the height direction are maintained in a certain state, the coupling support members can be fixed at the height to be engaged with the first support member and the second support member without particularly adjusting the height of the coupling support members. Thus, in the article accommodating rack used by coupling the two rack units, the position of the supporting member supporting the article in the height direction can be easily engaged.
In one embodiment, the first insertion through hole and the second insertion through hole are formed by a series of elongated holes continuous in the side-by-side direction, and the first bolt screwed into the first screw hole is inserted through the elongated holes, and the second bolt is not screwed into the second screw hole, so that the coupling support member is slidably movable within a range of a length of the elongated holes.
According to this configuration, it is possible to suitably realize a structure in which the coupling support member is slidably attached to the first support post in the side-by-side direction between the first position and the second position by using the first bolt for fixing the coupling support member. Thus, the structure can be simplified as compared with the case where the slide guide portion of the coupling support member is additionally provided. Further, since the coupling support member is slidable in a state where the first bolt is screwed into the first screw hole, the work can be performed without removing the first bolt when the article accommodating rack is installed. Therefore, the workability in installing the article storage rack can be improved.
As one aspect, it is preferable that a cover member overlapping the coupling support member and covering the long hole is fastened together by the first bolt and the second bolt.
According to this configuration, the cover member shields the long hole, so that foreign matter such as dust can be prevented from accumulating around the long hole or from entering the inside.
In one embodiment, the end portion of the second side in the direction of alignment on the coupling support member is preferably inclined so as to be directed to a side away from the second support post in the direction of alignment, with the second side in the direction of alignment being the second side in the direction of alignment.
According to this configuration, at the time of coupling the first rack unit and the second rack unit, the approaching movement of the target second pillar with respect to the target first pillar can be guided by the inclined surface of the end portion on the second side in the side-by-side direction in the coupling support member. Therefore, the second target stay can be easily adjacent to the first target stay, and the coupling operation can be facilitated.
In one aspect, it is preferable that an abutting portion that abuts against a side surface of the first support column facing the first side in the parallel direction is formed at an end portion of the first side in the parallel direction of the coupling support member.
According to this configuration, the abutting portion of the end portion of the coupling support member on the first side in the side-by-side direction can be made to function as a stopper at the time of coupling the first rack unit and the second rack unit, and positioning in the side-by-side direction of the coupling support member can be suitably performed. In addition, in a state in which the abutment portion abuts against the side surface of the first pillar facing the first side in the parallel direction, a part of the load applied to the coupling support member can be received by the abutment portion, and thus it becomes easy to secure the strength as the support member.
The article storage rack according to the present invention may be one which can achieve at least one of the above-described effects.
