When the worship is completed, the control device controls the transport device 200 so that the article 1 is returned from the tombstone 310 to the storage shelf 110. Further, the control device manages the allocation of the article 1 to the plurality of storage compartments 111.

[Article]
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the article 1. Article 1 is, for example, a container containing an urn containing ashes, a relic, and a container such as a mortuary tablet (all not shown). One aspect of the article 1 is a notation surface 1a on which a family name or an individual name is indicated. In the example of FIG. 2, the notation surface 1a is provided at the end of the front Df, which is one of the longitudinal directions of the article 1. Here, the direction in which the notation surface 1a faces is defined as the front Df of the article 1. The article 1 has a lid (not shown) that can be opened and closed.

[Tombstones and worship areas]
As shown in FIG. 1, a cavity S for accommodating the upper part of the transport device 200 is provided inside each tombstone 310. Further, a window 310a is provided on the side wall of the tombstone 310. A window member 310b made of a transparent material such as glass is fitted in the window 310a. The transport device 200 sets the article 1 in the worship position Pw in the cavity S of the tombstone 310 in a posture in which the notation surface 1a faces the window 310a, in other words, in a posture in which the window 310a is located in the front Df of the article 1. .. The window 310a may be configured to be openable and closable. In this case, the worshiper opens the window 310a, takes out the article 1 out of the tombstone 310 through the opening, opens the lid (not shown) of the article 1, and replaces or adds the inclusions. It can be cleaned.

FIG. 3 is a plan view of the floor 301. As shown in FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, a plurality of worship sections B are provided on the floor 301. The plurality of worship sections B include a worship section B1 provided with a tombstone 310-1 and a worship section B2 provided with a tombstone 310-2. The worship section B1 is an example of the first worship section, and the worship section B2 is an example of the second worship section.

On the floor 301, the worship section B1 and the worship section B2 overlap at least partially in the Y direction, in other words, the worship section B1 and the worship section B2 overlap at least partially when viewed in the Y direction. In line. Here, for example, when the worship section B1 and the worship section B2 are arranged back to back in the X direction, the worship section B1 and the worship section B2 are arranged so as not to overlap at all when viewed in the Y direction. In that case, the width of the arrangement area of the worship section B1 and the worship section B2 in the X direction becomes wider. In this respect, in the present embodiment, since the worship section B1 and the worship section B2 are arranged so as to overlap at least partially in the Y direction, the width W1 can be set narrower, and a plurality of worship sections B1 can be set on the floor 301. The worship section B can be arranged more efficiently. The Y direction is an example of the second direction.

Further, in the present embodiment, the tombstone 310-1 and the tombstone 310-2 overlap at least partially in the Y direction on the floor 301, in other words, the tombstone 310-1 and the tombstone when viewed in the Y direction. They are lined up so that they overlap 310-2 at least partially in the Y direction. They are lined up. As a result, for example, when the tombstones 310-1 and the tombstones 310-2 are arranged back to back in the X direction, the tombstones 310-1 and the tombstones 310-2 do not overlap at all when viewed in the Y direction. The width W2 in the X direction of the arrangement area of the tombstone 310-1 and the tombstone 310-2 can be set narrower than the case where the tombstone 310-1 and the tombstone 310-2 are arranged. Tombstone 310-1 may also be referred to as the first tombstone, and tombstone 310-2 may also be referred to as the second tombstone.

Further, in the present embodiment, the worship section B1 and the worship section B2 are alternately arranged in the Y direction. This has the advantage that, for example, the widths and installation intervals of the worship sections B1 and B2 in the Y direction can be easily made uniform.

FIG. 4 is a side view of a plurality of worship sections B as viewed in opposite directions in the X direction. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the present embodiment, a partition 320 for partitioning a plurality of worship sections B is provided. The partition 320 has a wall 320a for partitioning the worship section B1 and the worship section B2 in the X direction, and a wall 320b for partitioning between the plurality of worship sections B1 or between the plurality of worship sections B2 in the Y direction.

Here, as shown in FIG. 4, the partition 320 is set at a height on the floor 301 that does not reach the ceiling (not shown) located above the floor 301. As a result, for example, the worshiper can get a feeling of openness, and when the worship room 300 is located above the ground and the worship room 300 is provided with a glass window (not shown), the worshiper can worship. There are advantages such as brightening the room 300 and allowing worshipers to enjoy the view around the worship room 300. In the example of FIG. 4, the height of the partition 320 is set lower than the height of the tombstone 310, but the height of the partition 320 is not limited to this, and the height of the partition 320 is equal to or higher than the height of the tombstone 310.

The transport path T includes a plurality of transport paths T1 and T2. Each of the transport paths T has a substantially constant width in the X direction, extends in the Y direction, and extends in the Z direction as well. That is, the transport path T extends in the Y direction and the Z direction, in other words, intersects and spreads in the X direction. The stacker crane 210 transports the article 1 in the transport path T, and constitutes a part of the transport device 200.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, storage shelves 110 are provided on both sides of each transport path T in the X direction. The storage room 100 is provided with a plurality of storage shelves 110-1 to 110-4. In the present embodiment, as an example, the number of storage shelves 110 is 4, but the number of storage shelves 110 is not limited to 4.

As can be seen from FIGS. 5 to 7, each of the storage shelves 110 has a plurality of storage compartments 111 arranged along the transport path T. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the plurality of storage compartments 111 are arranged in each storage shelf 110 in a matrix in which the Y direction is a row and the Z direction is a column. In other words, in each storage shelf 110, a plurality of storage sections 111 are arranged in the Y direction as well as in the Z direction.

The storage compartment 111 can each store one article 1. That is, the storage position Ps of the article 1 in the storage section 111 is only one place. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a plurality of storage positions Ps, for example, two storage positions Ps may be provided for each storage section 111.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the storage compartments 111 of the storage shelves 110-1 and 110-2 face the transport path T1, and the storage compartments 111 of the storage shelves 110-3 and 110-4 face each other. Faces the transport path T2.

Then, in the present embodiment, as an example, the article 1 stored in the storage shelves 110-1 and 110-2 is transported by the transport device 200 to the worship position Pw set in the tombstone 310-1 of the worship section B1. The article 1 stored in the storage shelves 110-3 and 110-4 is transported by the transport device 200 to the worship position Pw set in the tombstone 310-2 of the worship section B2. That is, in the present embodiment, the storage shelves 110 are assigned to each of the worship sections B1 and B2. Specifically, storage shelves 110-1 and 110-2 are assigned to the worship section B1, and storage shelves 110-3 and 110-4 are assigned to the worship section B2. Then, in response to such an allocation, as shown in FIG. 5, in the storage shelves 110-1 and 110-2, the article 1 is stored in a posture in which the front Df of the article 1 faces the X2 direction. In the two storage shelves 110-3 and 110-4, the article 1 is stored in a posture in which the front Df of the article 1 faces the X1 direction. Further, as described above, the worshiping direction of the worshiper in the worship section B1 is the X1 direction, and correspondingly, in the worship position Pw of the worship section B1, the article 1 has the front Df of the article 1. It is arranged in a posture opposite to the X1 direction, that is, facing the X2 direction. On the other hand, the worshiping direction of the worshiper in the worship section B2 is the X2 direction, and correspondingly, in the worship position Pw of the worship section B2, the front Df of the article 1 is in the opposite direction to the X2 direction. That is, they are arranged in a posture facing the X1 direction. Therefore, in the storage shelves 110-1 and 110-2 corresponding to the worship section B1, the article 1 is arranged in a posture in which the front Df faces the X2 direction, so that the article 1 is arranged between the storage position Ps and the worship position Pw. It is no longer necessary to change the posture of the article 1. Further, in the storage shelves 110-3 and 110-4 corresponding to the worship section B2, the article 1 is arranged in a posture in which the front Df faces the X1 direction, so that the article 1 is arranged between the storage position Ps and the worship position Pw. It is no longer necessary to change the posture of the article 1. Therefore, the orientation of the article 1 is set by allocating the storage shelves 110-1 to 110-4 corresponding to the worship sections B1 and B2 as described above and setting the orientation of the article 1 in each of the storage shelves 110-1 to 110-4. There is no need for an inversion mechanism or the like to change. As a result, for example, the configuration of the worship facility 10 can be further simplified, and the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

[Stacker Crane]
The worship facility 10 includes one stacker crane 210 for each transport path T. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more stacker cranes 210 may be provided for each transport path T.

As shown in FIG. 6, the stacker crane 210 has a traveling body 211, a mast 212, a loading platform 213, and a transfer device 214, respectively. At least one of the lower part and the upper part of the transport path T is provided with a guide rail 215 extending in the Y direction. The stacker crane 210 can move in the Y direction along the guide rail 215.

The traveling body 211 is supported by the guide rail 215 so as to be movable in the Y direction. Two masts 212 (see FIG. 5) extending in the Z direction are fixed to the traveling body 211 so as to be separated from each other in the Y direction. The traveling body 211 and the mast 212 can move in the Y direction along the guide rail 215 according to the rotation of the motor (not shown) as a driving source for the movement of the traveling body 211 and the mast 212 in the Y direction. At the same time, the motor can be stopped at a plurality of positions in the Y direction according to the stop of the motor.

The loading platform 213 is supported by two masts 212 so as to be movable in the Z direction. The loading platform 213 is bridged between the two masts 212. The loading platform 213 can move in the Z direction along the mast 212 according to the rotation of the motor (not shown) as a driving source for the movement of the loading platform 213 in the Z direction, and also responds to the stop of the motor. It can stop at multiple positions in the Z direction.

The transfer device 214 is attached to the loading platform 213 so as to be expandable and contractible in the X direction. The transfer device 214 has a support portion 214a that supports the article 1. The position of the support portion 214a and the article 1 supported by the support portion 214a in the X direction changes according to the expansion and contraction of the transfer device 214 in the X direction. The expansion / contraction state of the transfer device 214 changes according to the rotation of the motor (not shown). That is, the support portion 214a can move in the X direction according to the rotation of the motor, and can stop at a plurality of positions in the X direction according to the stop of the motor.

In the contracted state (stored state) of the transfer device 214, the support portion 214a and the article 1 are located in the transport path T. By controlling the motor that drives the traveling body 211 and the mast 212 in the contracted state and the motor that drives the loading platform 213, the article 1 moves to the facing position Pf facing each storage section 111 in the transport path T and stops. can do. Each facing position Pf is also a support position Ph1 of the article 1 by the support portion 214a in the transport path T.

The movement of the article 1 between the support portion 214a (opposing position Pf, support position Ph1) and each storage section 111 (storage position Ps) is the movement of the support portion 214a in the X direction and at least the transfer device 214. It can be realized by the combination of the operation in the direction intersecting with some X directions.

As an example, the transfer device 214 is a known slide fork having a plurality of members that can slide in the X direction with each other, the support portion 214a is the tip member of the slide fork, and the transfer device 214 is each storage section 111. The transport of the article 1 in the case where the article 1 is configured to be movable in the Z direction without interfering with the above will be described. In this case, the support portion 214a and the support portion 214a are combined with the movement of the support portion 214a in the X direction due to the expansion and contraction of the transfer device 214 and the movement of the support portion 214a in the Z direction due to the movement of the loading platform 213 in the Z direction. Article 1 can be delivered to and from each storage compartment 111. The transfer device 214 can be expanded and contracted in the X1 direction and the X2 direction with respect to the transport path T, and is the storage section 111 with respect to the storage sections 111 of both the storage shelves 110-1 and the storage shelf 110-2. It can be extended to a length corresponding to the storage position Ps of the article 1 in the above. When the article 1 is carried out from the storage section 111 to the opposite position Pf, the support portion 214a that does not support the article 1 first receives the extension of the transfer device 214 in the X direction in the storage section 111 in the storage position Ps. Move slightly downwards of article 1 stored in. Next, the support portion 214a moves slightly upward as the loading platform 213 moves in the Z direction (upward), and receives the article 1 from the storage compartment 111. Next, the support portion 214a moves into the transport path T along the X direction as the transfer device 214 contracts in the X direction, and moves the article 1 to the facing position Pf. On the other hand, when carrying the article 1 from the facing position Pf into the storage compartment 111, the support portion 214a supporting the article 1 first receives the article in the empty storage compartment 111 in response to the extension of the transfer device 214 in the X direction. Move slightly above the planned storage position of 1. Next, the support portion 214a moves slightly downward of the storage compartment 111 as the loading platform 213 moves in the opposite direction (downward) in the Z direction, and passes (places) the article 1 to the storage compartment 111. ). Next, the support portion 214a moves into the transport path T along the X direction as the transfer device 214 contracts in the X direction. The transfer device 214 has a support position Ph1 (opposing position Pf) of the article 1 in the transport path T, a storage section 111 facing the transport path T, that is, a storage section 111 facing the transport path T in the X1 direction, and a storage section 111. The article 1 can be transported to and from the storage compartment 111 facing the X2 direction.

The mechanism for transporting the article 1 between the facing position Pf and each storage section 111 is not limited to the slide fork. For example, when the storage compartment 111 or the loading platform 213 has a free roller conveyor that assists the movement of the article 1 in the X direction, even if the article 1 is moved on the free roller conveyor by the expansion and contraction of the transfer device 214. good. In this case, by moving the connection portion, which is at least a part of the transfer device 214, in the direction intersecting the X direction, for example, the Z direction, the connection state in which the connection portion and the article 1 are connected and the connection portion. You may switch between the separated state and the separated state in which the article 1 is separated. In the connected state, the transfer device 214 can move the article 1, and in the separated state, the transfer device 214 cannot move the article 1.

The stacker crane 210 can transport the article 1 between the storage section 111 facing the transport path T where the stacker crane 210 is located and the relay position Pr. The relay position Pr is the relay position of the article 1 between the stacker crane 210 and the lifter 220. The stacker crane 210 can also deliver the article 1 between the support position Ph1 and the relay position Pr in the same manner as the transfer between the support position Ph1 and the storage position Ps described above. The stacker crane 210 constitutes a part of the transport device 200 and is an example of the first transport device.

When the posture of the article 1 at the storage position Ps and the posture of the article 1 at the worship position Pw are different, the control device controls the turntable 240A so as to reverse the posture of the article 1 during transportation by the stacker crane 210. According to such a configuration and control, the time required for the movement of the article 1 between the storage position Ps and the relay position Pr, as compared with the configuration in which the transfer and the inversion of the article 1 are executed at different timings, for example. Can be made shorter.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the worship facility 10A is provided with a conveyor 230A (third transport device) for transporting the article 1 between the two transport paths T1 and T2. According to such a configuration, for example, the conveyor 200 including the conveyor 230A can transport the article 1 between the storage shelves 110-3 and 110-4 and the worship position Pw of the worship section B1. At the same time, the article 1 can be transported between the storage shelves 110-1 and 110-2 and the worship position Pw of the worship section B2. If there is no conveyor 230A and the corresponding storage shelves 110-1 to 110-4 are defined for each of the worship sections B1 and B2, the storage shelves 110-1 in which the article 1 corresponding to the worshiper is stored are stored. The worship sections B1 and B2 that the worshiper worships are determined by ~ 110-4. In this respect, as in the present embodiment, in the worship facility 10A provided with the conveyor 230A for transporting the article 1 between the two transport paths T1 and T2, the article 1 corresponding to the worshiper is stored. The worship sections B1 and B2 can be more flexibly assigned to each worshiper regardless of the storage shelf 110. Therefore, for example, a situation in which one of the plurality of worship sections B1 and B2 is congested and the other is vacant is less likely to occur, and the worship facility 10A can be operated more efficiently.
