DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transport apparatus for collecting and transporting articles such as garbage and mail in a multistory building or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In high-rise buildings such as office buildings,
Various types of waste such as paper waste, bottles and cans, other combustible waste, and non-burnable waste are discharged from each floor, and it is necessary to separate and collect these wastes by type.

Further, in order to process mail such as mail and home delivery in a high-rise building or the like, mail for efficiently transferring mail between each floor and mail collection and delivery facilities provided on the lowest floor and the like is required. A method is required.

Conventionally, as a method for transporting articles such as trash in a high-rise building or the like, as shown in FIG.
00 and an entrance 102 provided on each floor of the building.
In addition, a plurality of transport boxes 10 collecting trash and the like by type
3 and the respective transport boxes 103 are placed in cages 101.
Is used to transport the products to a collection and delivery facility provided on the lowest floor.

As shown in FIG. 19, a conventional collection / delivery facility for separating and storing garbage and the like includes an entrance 102 of a passage 100.
A forward conveyor 104 and a return conveyor 105 are arranged in parallel on the front side, and a plurality of storage devices 106 and 107 for collecting dust by type are connected to the forward conveyor 104. ing.

Further, the ends of the two transfer conveyors 104 and 105 are connected by an intermediate conveyor 108, and the transfer box 103 carried out from the entrance 102 is distributed and transported to the storage devices 106 and 107 using the transfer conveyor 104. An empty transport box 103 that has discharged garbage to each storage device is
It is circulated through the intermediate conveyor 108 and the return conveyor 105 to return to the position of the entrance 102.

[0007]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional method, when the transport boxes 103 are moved in and out of the cage 101, a large number of transport boxes 103 are provided for each floor.
Need to be arranged in a tandem state, a large standby space is required, and there is a problem that it becomes an obstacle in saving space in the building.

In particular, in the collection and delivery equipment on the lowest floor, an extremely large installation space is required for arranging a plurality of transfer conveyors 104 and 105 for the forward and return paths in parallel because the boxes need to be circulated. In some cases, a large portion of the lowest floor of the building is occupied by a place for collecting and delivering goods.

Further, as in the conventional case,
In this method, one box is transported one by one every time the cage 101 is moved up and down, it takes a long time to load and unload a large number of boxes 103 into and from the cage 101, and the cage 101 is reciprocated many times between each floor and the collection and delivery equipment. There is a problem in that the transfer efficiency is poor because the transfer efficiency needs to be increased.

Accordingly, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and provides a transport device capable of efficiently transporting various types of articles by elevating and lowering a cage by reducing the space required for transporting articles as much as possible. It is intended to be.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention is to solve the above problems, movable up and down the cage passage through the building up and down in response to a building floor floor on both sides of the passage opening Provide multiple possible doorways, inside the cage,
A plurality of box transfer devices that transfer boxes for transporting articles between the cage and each doorway in the horizontal direction using a transfer table in the form of a slide are provided one above the other, and
It is possible to transfer in the direction of the entrance on both sides of the road, and a plurality of box storage shelves are provided vertically stacked on the box magazine installed at each entrance, and the stacking interval of each box storage shelf and the Match the spacing between the cages
Each box transfer device inside it is independent of the cage
Conveying device provided with an elevating device that moves up and down
The configuration was as follows.

[0012]

[0013]

[0014]

[0015]

[0016]

[Action] In configuration described above, when stopped at a position facing the cage entrance of each floor floor, since the face each storage shelf of each box transfer device and the box magazine inside the cage at the same height level, the state The boxes are delivered simultaneously or continuously between the plurality of box transfer devices and the storage shelves. The cage is moved up and down in a state where a plurality of boxes are stored in each transfer device, and the boxes are transferred between each floor and a collection and delivery place on the lowest floor.

[0017] in the doorway of the box magazine of internal and passage of the cage and stored by stacking a plurality of the box, was this
Because, space for the waiting space and delivery of the box magazine in the doorway may be small. Further, the box transfer between the cage and the entrance row stomach continuously while stopping the car at the same position, for transporting a plurality of boxes simultaneously by lifting the cage.

[0018]

[0019]
