There are some which are provided in a state of being paired with each other (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2000-118644 A

  However, in the case where the article stored in the storage unit is composed of a plate-shaped mounting plate and a load mounted on the mounting plate, the regulation body described in Patent Document 1 described above is mounted. Although the lateral displacement of the plate can be prevented, the lateral displacement of the article placed on the placement plate cannot be prevented. For this reason, for example, when an article storage shelf shakes due to an earthquake, the load of the articles stored in the storage section shifts laterally and collapses, so it is difficult to take out the articles from the storage section with a stacker crane or a forklift. It was a thing.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, the purpose of which is to prevent the collapse of the articles stored in the storage unit, easy to take out the article from the storage unit after the earthquake, and The object is to provide an article storage facility provided with the article storage shelf.

The article storage shelf according to the present invention is a storage section for storing articles arranged side by side in the width direction of the shelf.
The article to be stored in the storage unit is composed of a plate-shaped mounting plate and a load mounted on the mounting plate, and a load regulating body that regulates lateral displacement of the load is provided in each of the storage units. The article stored in the storage part is provided at a height at which the load is present and on both sides of the load in the lateral width direction of the load in a paired state.

  That is, since the load regulation bodies are located on both sides in the width direction of the shelf of the load stored in the storage unit, even when the storage shelf is shaken due to an earthquake or the like, Since the load of the article stored in the section can be in contact with the load restricting body and the lateral displacement of the load can be restricted, the collapse of the article can be prevented in advance. For this reason, it is difficult for the article to collapse due to the lateral displacement of the load, and it is easy to take out the article from the storage portion by a stacker crane, a forklift or the like even after the earthquake.

  The second characteristic configuration of the article storage shelf according to the present invention is the first characteristic configuration, wherein the pair of front and rear columns arranged in the front-rear width direction have an interval corresponding to the length of the storage unit in the horizontal width direction of the shelf.

The control unit is configured to move from the retraction position to the control position with vibration of the storage unit. Is provided with an operation mechanism for moving the pair of load restricting bodies.

  That is, when the storage unit is shaken due to an earthquake or the like, the position of the pair of load restricting bodies is moved from the retracted position to the restricting position by the operation mechanism. Since the pair of load restricting bodies thus moved to the restricting position are in contact with the load stored in the storage portion from both sides in the lateral direction of the shelf, the lateral displacement of the load is restricted, so the load collapses. Can be prevented accurately.

  According to a fourth characteristic configuration of the article storage shelf according to the present invention, in the first or second characteristic configuration, an article to be stored is moved in the shelf front-rear width direction and stored in the storage unit in each of the storage units.

That is, even if the article to be stored in the storage section is to be stored in a state shifted in the width direction of the shelf, the mounting plate is guided to the storage section side in the width direction of the shelf by the mounting plate guide body. Can be stored in the proper position.
In addition, since the article can be stored in an appropriate position in the storage unit in this way, the article can be stored in the storage unit without contacting the load with the load restricting body when the article is stored. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the load from being damaged by the load coming into contact with the load restricting body when the article is stored in the storage unit.

  According to a fifth characteristic configuration of the article storage shelf according to the present invention, in the fourth characteristic configuration, each of the storage units has a height at which the placement plate in the article stored in the storage unit exists, and the mounting shelf. A pair of mounting plate restrictors that prevent lateral displacement of the mounting plate in a state of being positioned on both sides of the shelf width direction of the mounting plate are provided, and the pair of mounting plate restricting bodies are the pair of mounting plate guides The body is provided at the same interval as the interval in the shelf width direction, and is integrally formed with the mounting plate guide body.

That is, since the placement plate restrictors are located on both sides of the placement plate at the height of the placement plate of the article stored in the storage unit and in the width direction of the shelf, Even when the product is shaken, the placement plate of the article stored in the storage unit can come into contact with the placement plate restricting body and the lateral displacement of the placement plate can be regulated. Can do.
In addition, since the mounting plate restricting body and the mounting plate guide body are integrally formed, it is easier to install the mounting plate restricting body and the mounting plate guide body than when these are provided separately. can do.
