Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile shelf apparatus which is arranged, for example, along a wall surface in a building frame, so that production costs can be reduced and warehouse operations can be performed quickly.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of moving shelf apparatus is shown in FIG.
There are the following. This is the inner wall surface 1 inside the building frame 1.
A pair of left and right fixed shelves 2a, 2b are arranged at a corner between the left and right wall surfaces 1b, 1c.
A space 3 for storage and retrieval is formed between the storage shelves b, and a plurality of movable shelves 4a to 4d movable in the left and right directions a and b are arranged. The fixed shelves 2a and 2b and the movable shelves 4a to 4d are respectively provided. Two storage sections 5 for storing luggage W are formed along the front and rear directions c and d, respectively.

In the above configuration, the state shown in FIG.
Entry / exit space 3 between one fixed shelf 2a and movable shelf 4a
This shows a state in which the loading / unloading work is being performed on the storage unit 5 by the cargo handling machine 6 such as a forklift. From this state, for example, when the loading / unloading work is performed between the movable shelf 4b and the movable shelf 4c Operates the operating unit (not shown) provided at the right end of the moving shelf 4b to move the moving shelves 4a and 4b in the left direction a, thereby moving the moving shelf 4b and the moving shelf 4c.
May be formed between the storage space 3.

[0004]

In the above-mentioned conventional configuration,
In order to form the entry / exit space 3, a large number of movable shelves 4a to 4d must be provided. Along with this, a driving device is required for each of the movable shelves 4a to 4d, so that the production cost is high and the energy consumption is large. In addition, it is possible to enter and exit only the storage unit 5 facing the entry / exit space 3, and the moving frequency of each of the movable shelves 4a to 4d increases, and each storage unit 5 faces each other. Since it is necessary to change the direction, it takes time and effort for the cargo handling work, which is troublesome.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile shelf apparatus which can be manufactured at a low cost and can carry out a warehouse operation quickly.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a rear side shelf having a storage portion is linearly arranged, and a rear side shelf is provided in front of the rear side shelf. The front row shelves having shorter storage sections are arranged side by side so as to be movable in the left-right direction, and a storage space is formed in front of the rear row shelves and the front row shelves.

[0007] According to the above configuration, the number of movable shelves installed is smaller than in the past, so that the manufacturing cost is reduced and the energy consumption can be reduced. In addition, the storage sections facing the entry / exit space are arranged in a horizontal row, so that it is not necessary to change the direction of the cargo handling machine.Because the storage section of the front row side shelf is open, there are more storage sections that can enter and exit at one time. In addition, it is possible to quickly and easily carry out the loading / unloading operation.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, a guide member is fixed to one of the rear side shelf and the front side shelf along the left-right direction, and the other shelf is provided. An engaging member movably engaged with the guide member is provided, and the two shelves are moved left and right relative to each other along the guide member.

According to the above configuration, it is not necessary to lay the guide means including the guide member and the engagement member on the floor, and the installation work of the movable shelf device can be performed easily and at low cost.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the second aspect of the present invention, a front portion of a shelf receiving member forming each of the storage sections of the rear row shelf protrudes above the guide member. And

According to the above construction, the front portion of the shelf receiving material forming each storage section of the rear row shelf protrudes above the guide member, so that the gap between the rear row shelf and the front row shelf is formed. Can be minimized so that no wasted space is generated.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, a control box with an operation section for moving the front row shelf is provided on a side surface of the front row shelf. In addition, the base portion of the front row side shelf protrudes laterally beyond the control box.

According to the above construction, the base portion of the front row shelf protrudes laterally beyond the control box provided on the side surface of the front row shelf, so that a loading machine such as a forklift is brought too close to the control box. However, since the cargo handling machine hits the base of the front row shelf, there is no possibility that the control box is damaged.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the fourth aspect of the present invention, the control box has a box body having an opening formed from a front surface to a side surface, and is movably mounted on the box body in a front-rear direction. A substantially L-shaped opening / closing lid for closing the opening.

According to the above construction, even if the gap between the side surface of the control box and the wall of the front row side shelf or the building frame facing the control box is narrow, simply pulling the opening / closing lid forward allows the opening / closing lid to be attached to the box body. , And the opening formed from the front surface to the side surface of the box body is opened, so that maintenance of the electronic device provided in the box body can be easily performed from the opening.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the control box according to any one of the first to third aspects, the operation unit of the control box with an operation unit for moving the front row shelf is operated. The control box is provided on the front side of the front row shelf, and the control box is provided in the base portion of the front row shelf.

According to the above configuration, since the operation unit is provided on the front surface of the front row shelf, the operation unit can be easily operated to easily move the front row shelf, and the control box can be easily moved. Since it is provided in the base part of the side shelf,
There is no possibility that the control box is damaged by the cargo handling machine. Further, since there is no protrusion of the control box and the operation unit in the moving direction, the space can be effectively used.
