Description of the Related Art Elevators, which are means for raising and lowering humans in buildings, are installed in high-rise buildings such as high-rise houses and office buildings. In the elevator shaft 31 of this elevator, a transport pallet 12 for raising and lowering unillustrated luggage is installed. In front of the elevator hall on each floor, a dedicated collection and delivery rocker 11 for sending or receiving luggage is installed. The transport pallet 12 moves up and down on the back of the pickup and delivery rocker 11.
[0014]
A plurality of pickup and delivery rockers 11 are arranged on each floor. In FIG. 1, there are two horizontal rows, four rows in the left column and three layers in the right column. In these pickup and delivery rockers 11, the installation position of the lower floor is set immediately below the installation position of the upper floor. With this configuration, there is no need to move the transport pallet 12 in the horizontal direction, and the horizontal moving mechanism can be omitted from the transport pallet 12. Therefore, if there is one transport pallet 12, the load can be raised and lowered.
[0015]
FIG. 2 shows an example of transferring a package using the distribution system shown in FIG. This is a case where the delivery person 35 of the home delivery company sends the package 1 to the designated floor. Each pickup / distribution rocker 11 has a door 3 on the front side for loading and unloading luggage. An information storage and display means 4 is provided beside the door 3 for storing and displaying information relating to the luggage 1 stored in the pickup and delivery rocker 11 and information such as the room number of the consignee. A transfer means 22 to which a plurality of rollers 21 and 23 are rotatably mounted is attached to the bottom surface of the pickup and delivery rocker 11. A conveyor is mounted on the roller 21, and the roller 21 drives the conveyor at the time of collection and delivery. The roller 23 is a driven roller. On the back side of the pickup and delivery rocker 11, a door (not shown) that can be opened and closed about the left and right sides as a rotation center is provided.
[0016]
The transport pallet 12 passes up and down near the rear door. The transport pallet 12 is a rectangular container, and has a door 42 that is open or openable on the side facing the collection and delivery rocker 11. A transfer means 8 having a plurality of rotatable rollers 7 and 9 is attached to the bottom surface of the transport pallet 12 similarly to the pickup and delivery rocker 11. The roller 7 is a driving roller, and drives the conveyor 8a mounted on the roller 7 when the load 1 is taken out from the pickup / distribution rocker 11 or sent to the pickup / distribution rocker 11. The roller 9 is a driven roller that drives the conveyor 8a.
[0017]
A pulley 5 is fixed on the upper surface of the transport pallet 12, and a rope 6 is mounted on the pulley 5. Then, a control device (not shown) drives a drive device (not shown), so that the rope 6 mounted on the pulley of the drive device is taken up or unwound, so that the transport pallet 12 moves to the position of the predetermined pickup / distribution rocker 11 on a predetermined floor. Is positioned.
[0018]
In order to deliver the package 1 to a designated sender, the delivery person 35 carries the package 1 from a carrier (not shown) to the pickup and delivery rocker 11 for delivery to each door arranged on the first floor of the building. Then, the luggage 1 is stored on the transfer means 22 of the collection and delivery rocker 11, and the destination floor and the room number of the luggage 1 are input to the information storage unit 4 on the front of the collection and delivery rocker 11. Since the information is input to the information storage unit 4, the information storage unit 4 instructs a drive control unit (not shown) of the transport pallet 12 to forward the transport pallet 12 to the first floor. According to this command, the transport pallet 12 is positioned at the position of the pickup and delivery rocker 11 on the first floor of the building, which is designated as the receiving position from the delivery person 35, for example.
[0019]
When the transport pallet 12 is positioned at the predetermined pickup and delivery rocker position and stops, the door 42 is opened. At the same time, the drive rollers 23 and 9 start rotating in the same direction. The luggage 1 placed on the conveyor 22a of the transfer means 22 of the pickup and delivery rocker 11 moves inside the collection and delivery rocker 11 to the back side as the conveyor 22a of the transfer means 22 moves to the back side, and then the transport pallet. It moves onto the conveyor 8a on the transfer means 8 of the twelve.
[0020]
When the luggage 1 is completely moved to the transport pallet 12, the opening / closing door 42 on the back side of the pickup and delivery rocker 11 is closed. Then, the drive device of the rope 6 (not shown) positions the transport pallet 12 on the collection and delivery rocker 11 provided on the floor designated by the delivery person 35. FIG. 3 shows a state where the transport pallet 12 arrives at the designated floor and the transport pallet 12 is positioned on the designated pickup / distribution rocker 11 on that floor.
[0021]
The transport pallet 12 is stopped after being positioned at a vacant pickup and delivery rocker 11 on the designated floor. The pickup and delivery rocker 11 at the position where the transport pallet 12 has stopped receives the arrival signal of the transport pallet 12 and opens the opening / closing door 42 located on the back side. After confirming that the opening / closing door 42 is opened, the conveyors of the transfer means 8 of the transport pallet 12 and the transfer means 22 of the collection and delivery rocker 11 are driven by the drive rollers 23 and 9 to move the load 1 to the front side. Then, the luggage 1 is completely moved from the transport pallet 12 to the pickup and delivery rocker 11.
[0022]
Details of the movement shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a vertical sectional view of a main part of the physical distribution system, and FIG. 5 is a top sectional view thereof. The transfer means 22 attached to the pickup and delivery rocker 11 is attached with a slight upward inclination from the front side to the back side. A stopper 41 having a height slightly higher than the height of the transfer means 22 is provided at the front end of the transfer means 22 across the width of the front opening / closing door 3. The transfer means 8 attached to the transport pallet 12 is attached with a slight downward inclination from the front side to the back side.
[0023]
The opening / closing door 42 on the back side of the pickup / distribution rocker 11 is divided into two substantially at the center of the pickup / distribution rocker 11 in the width direction, and is rotatably attached to the left and right side walls of the pickup / distribution rocker 11. When the cargo 1 is transferred from the collection and delivery rocker 11 to the transport pallet 12, the opening / closing door 42 opens to the back. When the package 1 is transferred from the transport pallet 12 to the pickup and delivery rocker 11, it is opened to the front.
[0024]
The opening / closing door 42 is normally closed to prevent the luggage 1 from dropping or being tampered with by a child or the like when the luggage 1 is not delivered. In the present embodiment, the opening and closing door 42 is of a rotary type in order to make the configuration simple, but if it is of a sliding type or a winding type, the size in the depth direction can be reduced. As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the width of the transport pallet corresponds to two rows of the pickup and delivery rockers 11.
[0025]
When the conveyor 8a of the transport pallet 12 moves to the near side, the load 1 moves with the conveyor 8a of the transport pallet 12 in a slightly upward attitude. When the luggage 1 is moved to the front end side of the transfer means 8, the luggage 1 takes a slightly downward posture due to the moment of the luggage 1 and moves onto the transfer means 22 of the pickup and delivery rocker 11. Then, it moves to the front side of the pickup and delivery rocker 11 with the conveyor 22a of the transfer means 22 in a downward posture. When the leading end of the load 1 hits the stopper 41 of the pickup and delivery rocker 11, the drive roller 23 and the driven roller 21 of the transfer means 22 stop. Thus, the storage of the package 1 in the collection and delivery rocker 11 is completed.
[0026]
By the way, when moving the cargo from the transport pallet 12 to the pickup and delivery rocker 11, the uppermost surface height s of the transport pallet 12 located on the front end side of the transfer means 8 is located at the rear end of the transfer means 22 of the pickup and delivery rocker 11. The transport pallet 12 is positioned so as to be located below the upper surface height r by the height h1. Thereby, the load 1 is reliably moved from the transfer means 8 to the transfer means 22 by the moment of the load.
[0027]
On the other hand, when the load is moved from the pickup and delivery rocker 11 to the transport pallet 12, as shown in FIG. The transport pallet 12 is positioned so as to be located at a height h1 above the uppermost surface height r located on the rear end side of the means 22.
[0028]
Although no door is provided on the front surface of the transport pallet 12, the load 1 does not fall off the transport pallet 12 because the transfer device 8 is gently inclined. Therefore, the load 1 can be reliably transferred from the pickup and delivery rocker 11 to the transport pallet 12. In addition, falling from the transport pallet can be prevented even during ascent to the designated floor.
[0029]
The pickup and delivery rocker 12 is provided with a display unit for displaying the name or room number of the recipient of the package 1. When it is confirmed that the luggage 1 has been stored, the display unit of the pickup and delivery rocker 11 displays the name or room number of the recipient.
[0030]
In the present embodiment, an example is shown in which the delivery person 35 sends the package 1 to the designated floor, and the recipient 36 receives the package 1. In the case where the resident 36 or the employee of the building sends out the package 1 from the specific floor, the same procedure as in the present embodiment can be performed. In this case, the resident 36 stores the luggage 1 in the collection and delivery rocker 11 on the living floor, and inputs shipping information of the luggage 1 from the information storage unit 4 provided on the front of the collection and delivery rocker 11. The control unit of the pickup and delivery rocker 11 transmits the shipping information to the drive control unit. Then, the transport pallet 12 is moved to, for example, a shipping department on the second floor of the building.
[0031]
The shipping department attaches necessary slips and shipping addresses, inputs data, etc., and moves to a shipping floor on the first basement floor, for example. On the shipping floor, the luggage 1 is moved from the transport pallet 12 to the pickup and delivery rocker 11 and waits for a delivery person. On the shipping floor, information indicating that there is a shipment is displayed on a display unit attached to the pickup and delivery rocker 11 storing the package 1 or a dedicated display unit.
[0032]
FIG. 6 shows the details of the drive mechanism of the transport pallet 12. The pulley 5 is attached to a lower portion of the transport pallet 12. At a portion near the roof of the building, a hoisting machine 14 having a pulley 13 attached to a shaft end is provided. A rope 6 is mounted on these pulleys 5 and 13. One or both ends of the rope 6 are fixed to the building. The ropes mounted on the pulleys 5 and 13 are connected to a counterweight 15 having a pulley. When the hoisting machine 14 rotates, the transport pallet 12 moves up and down.
[0033]
The transport pallet 12 has a width W2 corresponding to the horizontal dimension W1 of the collection and delivery rockers 11 installed on each floor, and has a dimension corresponding to two rows if the collection and delivery rockers 11 are arranged in two rows. According to the present embodiment, if there is one transport pallet 11, it is possible to transport the packages 1 of all the pickup and delivery rockers 11. Therefore, there is no need to provide a means for moving the transport pallet 12 in the horizontal direction. In a building where the amount of picked-up and delivered luggage 1 is large, the width W2 of the transport pallet 12 is adjusted to the width W3 of one of the pick-up and delivery rockers 11, and the collection and delivery rockers 11 are arranged in a plurality of rows. Then, it is preferable to install a plurality of transport pallets 12 for each row.
[0034]
In this embodiment, the number of transport pallets 12 in the vertical direction is one, but a plurality of transport pallets 12 may be connected in the vertical direction. Alternatively, information communication means may be provided on both the pickup and delivery rocker 11 and the transport pallet 12 so that the presence or absence of the package 1 in the collection and locker 11 may be confirmed each time the transport pallet 12 is positioned. In the case of a door, each time the transport pallet 12 is positioned, the load 1 can be transferred to and from a plurality of transport pallets arranged vertically. When the luggage 1 is continuously circulated in an office or the like, for example, the transport pallet 12 may be attached to a chain or the like to form one loop and drive in circulation.
[0035]
FIG. 7 shows an example of a method for storing luggage according to the present invention. This is an example of a case where a delivery person (not shown) further delivers a package to the floor where the collection and delivery rockers C1 to C3 are full. Since there is no place to store luggage on the designated floor, the luggage is temporarily placed temporarily on the pickup and delivery rocker A1 on another floor. When the recipient 36 receives the luggage, he replaces the luggage temporarily stored in the empty collection and delivery rockers A2 and B1 on the floors other than the own floor with the luggage stored in the collection and delivery rockers C1 to C3.
[0036]
In this case, the recipient of the luggage knows whether or not his / her luggage has arrived, for example, by looking at the information display board installed on the floor where the entrance to the building is provided from the outside. By performing the above operation, the luggage can be picked up at any of the pickup and delivery rockers 11 on the living floor. This operation can be automatically performed by the pickup / distribution rocker when the pickup / distribution rocker accesses the pickup.
[0037]
According to the above embodiment, since the display means is provided near the elevator, the resident or the employee of the building can check whether or not there is a delivery at the time of entering or leaving the elevator. Further, in the above embodiment, the home delivery rocker is arranged in the area adjacent to the elevator. However, the present invention is not limited to this area, and it may be provided in a place where residents or employees on each floor can take out cheaply. Further, the number of home delivery rockers may be changed according to the scale of each building and the flow rate of goods. At this time, the number of installation units may be determined based on the width direction length and the height direction length of each home delivery rocker.
[0038]
In the above embodiment, the transfer means is provided for each pickup / distribution rocker. However, the transfer pallet may be provided with an extendable / movable pallet and means for pushing the load. In this case, when carrying the luggage, the transportation means is extended or moved to the pickup and delivery rocker to load the luggage. Thereafter, the transporting means is returned to the transport pallet with the luggage being loaded. When the truck reaches the pickup and delivery rocker on the designated floor, extend or move the transportation means to move the luggage to the pickup and delivery rocker. Then, only the transfer means is returned to the transport pallet. At that time, the pushing means is used to prevent the load from returning to the transport pallet. In this case, the transfer means may be provided only on the transport pallet, and the mechanism is simplified and the cost is reduced.
[0039]
Although not shown in the above embodiment, a positioning sensor is provided on the back side of the pickup and delivery rocker for positioning the transport pallet. Further, in order to stop the drive roller of the transfer device when the position of the load is determined, a positioning sensor is provided at or near the stopper. This positioning sensor is also attached to the transport pallet, and is used to stop the drive roller of the transfer device.
[0040]
In the above-described embodiment, the example of sending and receiving luggage in an apartment house has been described. However, it is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to home delivery such as newspapers and ingredients. In addition, in order to reduce the burden of new construction costs and operation costs, the tenant may make a rental contract with a logistics system operation company for a collection and delivery rocker on each floor.
[0041]
In each of the above embodiments, since only the authorized person can operate the collection and delivery rocker on each floor, it is possible to prevent an accident such as another person carrying their own luggage. At this time, if a room number card key or the like input by a luggage collector is used, security can be ensured by a simple method. In addition, erroneous collection and erroneous delivery can be prevented by referring to the delivery person with a driver's license or the like.
[0042]
In each of the above embodiments, the transport pallet is provided on the back side of the collection and delivery rocker, but may be provided beside the collection and delivery rocker. This is suitable for buildings where depth dimensions cannot be obtained.
[0043]
【The invention's effect】
ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, since the luggage movement between the pickup and delivery rockers is automated, it is possible to reliably deliver a courier service or the like to a residence floor in a building such as an apartment house with a simple configuration. Also, since only authorized persons can access the pickup and delivery rocker, security in delivery in the building can be improved.
