Description
"CONTAINER STORAGE ARRANGEMENT"
This invention relates to a container storage arrangement in which a plurality of containers are stacked together.
Containers used in marine transport are stored in warehouses near the harbour or put outside the warehouses. The number of containers is increasing as ships are built on a greater scale and with increased capacity.
The container is generally a rectangular parallelepiped, and the containers are stacked in three or four tiers, usually by a fork lift truck. This is because the height of the piled containers has to be limited in order to prevent the containers from falling due to tropical storms, earthquakes, and gusts of wind.
In addition, since the containers are piled up and taken down by a fork-lift truck, space must be left between the containers as a passageway for the fork-lift truck. A large area is therefore required for container storage.
The present invention has as its object to provide a container storage arrangement which needs a smaller area, by increasing the stack height of the containers and in which stock control is easy.
According to the invention there is provided a container storage arrangement comprising:
container guide members defining container storage zones in each of which containers of approximately rectangular parallelepiped shape can be supported at their side walls by said guide members in the height direction of the containers so as to stack the containers in said height direction;
said container storage zones being arranged in an array in which rows of container storage zones located next to one another are arranged parallel to each other to form columns;
at least one pair of rails disposed in the longitudinal direction of the array so that a container carriage passage is formed below the rails and above inlet-outlet openings for containers of the container storage zones; and
means disposed on the rails so as to be movable thereon for carrying a container along said container carriage passage and for hoisting or lowering it into or out of a container storage zone.
The container storage arrangement of the invention thus comprises container srn'rage zones defined by the container guide members extending in the height direction of the containers. The containers are stacked with the four side walls of each container supported by the container guide members, so that horizontal movement of the container is limited by the four guide members. Overhead means, particularly travelling cranes, are provided, which can pick up the containers from the ground, hoist them above the container storage zone, and then let them down into the container storage zone so that the containers can be piled up on the ground.
In a first embodiment of this invention, the container storage arrangement comprises container guide members of L-section.
Each container guide member extends vertically and four container guide members form one container guide zone and support and accommodate the containers in the height direction thereof with each container being supported at the four side walls thereof by the guide members. The container storage zones are arranged like a matrix of a plurality of rows x two columns, the two columns having the same width. A pair of rails are provided above the array of the container storage zones so that there is a space between the container storage zones and the rails for the horizontal carriage of the containers.
The rails extend in the longitudinal direction, that is to say in the direction of the columns of the array, and two overhead travelling cranes are provided on the rails. Each crane is disposed in a manner such that it may carry a container anywhere in the container storage zones, so that if one crane is out of order, the other can cover the entire array of storage zones. Each crane comprises a spreader for clamping the container, a trolley for hoisting the spreader, and a girder spanning the rails so as to allow the spreader to move in the direction perpendicular to the rails. The container is hoisted up by the crane through a vertical passage formed within the array, moved horizontally through the space between the storage zones and the rails, and then lowered into a storage zone formed by the container guide members.
In a second embodiment of the invention, the container storage arrangement comprises container guide members of L-section.
Each container guide member extends vertically and four container guide members define one container guide zone, and support and accommodate the containers in the height direction thereof with each container being supported at the four side walls thereof by the guide members. The container storage zones are arranged like a matrix of a plurality of rows x two columns with the two columns having the same width. A pair of rails are provided above the array of the container storage zones so that there is a space for the horizontal carriage of the containers between the array of the container storage zones and the rails.The rails extend in the longitudinal direction, namely the direction of the column of the array, and there are provided two overhead travelling cranes on the rails, arranged in such a manner that each of them can cover the entire container storage zone so that even if one crane is out of order, the other can cover it. The container is hoisted up by the crane through a vertical container passage formed beside the array, moved horizontally through said space between the array and the rails, and then hoisted down into the storage zone defined by the container guide members.
In a thIrd embodiment of the invention, the container storage arrangement comprises container guide members of L-section. Each container guide member extends vertically and four container guide members form one container guide zone so as to support and accommodate the containers in the height direction thereof with each container being supported at the four side walls thereof. The container storage zones are arranged like a matrix of a plurality of rows x three columns with two of three columns having the same widths. Two pairs of rails are provided above the array of the container storage zones with one pair extending along said two columns of the same width and the other pair along the remaining column. On each pair of rails there are provided two overhead travelling cranes on the rails.Each crane can carry the container to any of the container storage zones so that if one of the cranes is out of order, the other can cover the entire storage zone array. The container is hoisted up, moved horizontally through the space between the array and the rails, and then lowered down by the crane into the storage zone defined by the container guide members.

Figures 11 - 13 are similar partial plan views of arrangements according to the invention to illustrate three further embodiments thereof.
Figures 1 to 8 of the drawings together illustrate one embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to Figure 1, the container storage arrangement 100 of the invention includes a lattice framework 3 comprising vertical frames 8 and horizontal frames 9. The horizontal frames 9 extend also in the direction perpendicular to the plane of Figure 1.
Hereinafter, for convenience, the width direction of the container storage arrangement 100 is referred to as the X direction, the height direction thereof as the Y direction, and the length direction thereof as the Z direction.
A in each case indicates a container of rectangular parallelepiped shaped. 1 in each case indicates a container guide member which is made of steel and is of L-shaped section. The container guide member 1 stands on the ground 5 and extends parallel to the vertical frame 8. In Figure 1, fifteen vertical frames 8 are shown at intervals of L1 and fifty-six container guide members 1 at intervals of 11. Between the container guide members 1, there is formed a container storage zone 2 extending vertically upwards for the storage of containers A. The containers A are stacked in the storage zone 2 from the ground 5. Two overhead travelling cranes 4, 4 are provided at the top of the framework 3 so that each of the cranes can travel through a space 15 above the container storage zones 2.Each crane 4 is so constructed that it can pick up one container A, move on rails extending in the X direction, and lower the container A into a predetermined storage zone upon command from the operation room 17. More specifically, a container A carried by a vehicle B is hoisted by a spreader of the crane 4 up to the top of the framework 3. The crane 4 then is moved in the X direction. Each crane 4 includes a trolley 14 movable in the Z direction, so that the container A may be moved both in X and Z directions in the horizontal space 15. At the completion of the horizontal movement, the crane 4 is stopped and the container A is lowered by the spreader 13. 7 designates a vertical passage for the container A. The frame 3 has two spaces 6, 6 which do not accommodate a container A at the bottom thereof.In these spaces 6, 6, there are provided operation rooms 17, 17, the remaining part of the spaces being used as roads for the vehicles B. Referring to Figure 2, which is a plan view of Figure 1, a pair of rails 11 are disposed extending in X direction at the top of the storage arrangement 100. The crane 4 can move along the rails 11. 12 indicates a girder which spans the rails 11. The trolley 14 can hoist the spreader 13 so that the spreader can travel with the container in the Y direction. There is provided a level sensor 16 attached to each crane 4 so that the crane may detect the height of the piled containers A in the storage zone 2.
Referring back to Figure 1, the storage arrangement 100 can house the containers A by ten in the Y direction and twenty-eight in the X direction. An address is assigned to each location in the storage zone; for example, the coordinate of A at the leftmost-bottom is (1, 1, 1), and the coordinate of A thereabove is (1, 2, 1). As shown in Figures 3 and 4, four container guide members 1 are provided in a single plane in the Z direction so that two piles of containers
A may be housed in the X direction. Referring to Figure 3, the space 6 is so formed that the vehicle B can pass therethrough. Referring now to Figure 6, which shows a part of the circled portion VI in
Figure 3, one container A is supported by four container guide members 1.More specifically, the container A is supported by eight guide surfaces la of the guide members 1 at its side walls in the vicinity of its four vertical edges so that the container A can move only in the height direction thereof. The topmost parts of the four container guide members 1 bend outwardly like a trumpet (not shown).
The guide members 1 are spaced from each other by 11 in the X direction and by 12 in the Z direction, while the horizontal frames 9 are spaced by L1 in the X direction and L2 in the Z direction.
Figure 5 shows a side view of the framework 3, in which five vertical frames stand at predetermined intervals in the Z direction, and five horizontal frames 9 extend at predetermined intervals in the
Y direction. Twenty containers A are seen in Figure 5, ten containers being stored in each storage zone. The address of the lef-tmost-bottom container A is (26, 1, 1) and that of the rightmost-bottom container A is (26, 1, 2). As illustrated in
Figure 5, the vertical frame 8 at either side is higher than the other vertical frames 8, and a rail is disposed at the top thereof.
Referring to Figures 7 and 8, the vertical frame 8 is of H-section, and stands on a base 10, together with the container guide members 1.
The overhead travelling crane 4 is controlled to hoist the container A based on the address of the container A and carry it to the delivery spot 6. When hoisting the container A up and down, the container A travels through the vertical passage 7 and the storage zone 2, with the side walls in the vicinity of the four vertical edges of the container A being guided by the guide surfaces la of the guide members 1. Thus, the movements of the container A in the X and
Z directions are restricted, thus ensuring a stable operation.
Furthermore, the containers A stacked in the storage zone 2 are prevented from falling, so that the height of the container stack can be increased compared with the conventional manner of stacking.
In addition, sine the overhead travelling cranes 4 are employed for carriage of the containers A instead of the fork-lift trucks used in the prior art, the space between the container storage zones 2 can be reduced. Accordingly, the area required for the storehouse can be reduced. Each crane 4 can carry the container A to any storage zone 2, so that even if one crane becomes out of order, the other crane can cover the entire storage array.
Since all the locations in the container storage array are addressed, stock control is easily carried out.
Therefore, in accordance with the embodiment illustrated, labour efficiency is improved and a speedy and reliable operation becomes possible.
Figure 9 illustrates another embodiment of this invention.
In this embodiment, the delivery spots 6 are formed at either side of the array of the storage zones 2.
Figure 10 illustrates yet another embodiment of this invention, wherein there are disposed two kinds of container storage zones 2A and 2B. More specifically, forty-foot-long containers Al and twenty-foot-long containers A2, for example, are stacked in different storage zones 2A and 2B. In the embodiment illustrated, two 2Bs are formed. Also, two kinds of crane 4A and 4B are disposed on two pairs of rails 11 above the storage zones 2A and 2Bs respectively.
As shown in Figure 11, it is satisfactory to employ a container guide member 201 of T-section, in which case one member 201 supports two containers A, A at two side walls of each container in the vicinity of one vertical edge in the height direction of the container. For instance in this case, twelve guide members 201 are necessary to arrange an array of two rows x two columns.
Furthermore, as shown in Figure 12, it is also satisfactory to employ a container guide member 301 of X-section, in which case one member 301 supports four containers A, A, A and A at two side walls of each container in the vicinity of a vertical edge of the height direction of the container. For instance in this case, nine guide members 201 are necessary to arrange an array of two rows x two columns.
In addition, as shown in Figure 13, it is also satisfactory to employ a container guide member 401 of round section, in which case eight members 401 support one container A at four side walls in the vicinity of vertical edges in the height direction of the container with each member 401 supporting the side walls near the vertical edge. For instance, in this case, thirty-two, or at least twenty-four guide members 401 are necessary to arrange an array of two rows x two columns.
