DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for assembling a rack of a three-dimensional automatic warehouse.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An automatic three-dimensional warehouse (automated three-dimensional warehouse) is known as an automated warehouse in which all operations from entry to exit are controlled by a computer.

[0003] In this three-dimensional automatic warehouse, products or semi-finished products stored in pallets, containers, buckets, and the like are carried into predetermined storage positions of multi-tiered racks by an automatically traveling crane or the like. Picking or carrying out.

To install this rack in a building, panels having racks (rack panels) are vertically arranged on a base, which is a lower horizontal member, or a base and a horizontal member on the top are placed on the floor. After arranging and fixing the panels between them, they are assembled by lifting them up and raising them vertically.

[0005]

In recent years, in addition to heavy goods exceeding 1 ton, three-dimensional automatic warehouses for relatively light and small cargoes of less than 50 kg are also being used. Racks of such small three-dimensional automatic warehouses do not need to be rigid, and racks made of lightweight and thin members are used so that the minimum structural strength required for the cargo is exhibited. .

For this reason, there has been a problem that it is difficult to handle this kind of rack when transporting it from a manufacturing factory to a building and when installing it in a predetermined place.

In other words, during transportation, it is necessary to prevent the rack from being twisted or bent due to lack of strength of individual members. Also, when assembling the rack, it is difficult for the rack to stand upright vertically. Hangs horizontally, the rack is hung down from this horizontal material, and bolts are fixed so as to have a predetermined pitch.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention has been devised to provide a rack assembling method for a three-dimensional automatic warehouse that can easily carry and install even a relatively delicate rack.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 5, the construction of a rack assembled by the method of assembling a three-dimensional automatic warehouse according to the present invention will be described.

This rack is constituted by vertically extending a plurality of panels 3 between a pair of parallel upper horizontal members 1 as a top horizontal member and a lower horizontal member as a base 2.

The panel 3 includes two parallel elongated plate members 4.
And a shelf 5 attached so as to be bridged between the plate members 4. The upper end of the plate member 4 is rotatably connected to two parallel top horizontal members 1 by hinges 6, respectively. I have. The hinge 6 has a circular hole 7 formed in the upper end of the plate member 4, a bracket 9 having a circular hole 8 equivalent thereto and attached to the top horizontal member 1, and inserted through these circular holes 7, 8. And a nut 11 screwed to the bolt 10.

[0015] The bracket 9 (circular hole 8) is formed at a predetermined equal pitch P determined by the size of the cargo A, which is stored, the panel 3 extending direction of the top horizontal member 1 with a pitch P (the longitudinal Direction) , that is, they are juxtaposed in the traveling direction B of a crane (not shown) for carrying in / out the cargo.

In this embodiment, a pin hole 12 is formed at each of the upper ends of the bracket 9 and the plate member 4.
A pin 13 is provided to penetrate the pin hole 12 when the top horizontal member 1 and the panel 3 are orthogonal to each other.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, a leg bracket 14 is formed at the lower end of the panel 3 so as to be bolted to the base 2.

Next, an embodiment of a method for assembling a rack of a three-dimensional automatic warehouse according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

First, in a manufacturing plant or the like, FIGS.
As shown in (1), the brackets 9 of the top horizontal member 1 are formed at a predetermined pitch P according to the size of the cargo A to be stored. And, on this top horizontal member 1, a plurality of panels 3
The upper end is engaged with each bracket 9 so as to overlap,
The bolt 10 is inserted through the circular holes 7 and 8. At this time,
The nut 11 is loosely fitted to the bolt 10 and the panel 3
Is hinged so that it can rotate (ST 1).

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the panels 3 are overlapped with each other so that the entire rack is crushed and folded. This folded top horizontal member 1 and panel 3
In a state as shown in the figure, it is loaded on a transporting vehicle (not shown) or the like and transported to a place where it is installed (ST2).

As shown in FIG. 5, the base 2 is appropriately placed on the floor F in advance at the installation location. If the top horizontal member 1 and the panel 3 have been transported to this installation location, the chain block (not shown) is maintained while keeping the top horizontal member 1 horizontal.
It is hung up near the ceiling of the building. Due to this lifting, the rack 3 rotatably supported by the top horizontal member 1 is developed around the bolts 10 and spreads, and rises substantially vertically (ST3).

Then, the pin 13 is inserted through the pin hole 12, and the panel 3 is set in a vertical state.
1, the panel 3 and the top horizontal member 1 are fixed, and the lower end of the panel 3 is fixed to the base 2 by bolting (ST 4).

This completes the assembly and installation of the one unit rack. A large number of such racks are arranged facing the traveling path of the crane to constitute a three-dimensional automatic warehouse.

As described above, the hinges 6 are formed on the top horizontal member 1 at a predetermined equal pitch P, the panels 3 are transported in a state of being overlapped, and the panels 3 are unfolded at the installation location. In the process, the strength of the member is substantially increased, and the accident that the panel 3 is twisted or bent can be prevented. Even if the panel 3 is formed by the relatively thin and thin delicate plate member 4, the handling thereof is easy. become.

Further, since the predetermined pitch P of the panel 3 can be automatically obtained only by lifting the top horizontal member 1, the operation of fixing the top horizontal member 1 to the panel 3 is simplified and easily performed. And it can be installed quickly.

In this embodiment, the unfolded panel is positioned in a vertical position by inserting a pin. However, when the top horizontal member is perpendicular to the panel, the panel is turned. Providing locking means to restrict movement,
The vertical posture of the panel may be automatically set.

[0027]

In summary, according to the present invention, the following excellent effects are exhibited.

[0028] The plate member of the panel to the top horizontal member and hinged at a predetermined pitch to tilt in the longitudinal direction of the top horizontal member
So that the panel can be rotated
In the longitudinal direction of the panel so that the panels overlap each other.
After transporting it to the installation location inside the building with it folded
Lift the top horizontal member so that the panel is
After deploying the panel perpendicular to
By pinning to the horizontal member and fixing to the lower base, the strength of the member is substantially increased in the course of transportation, the handling is facilitated, and the mounting pitch of the panel is automatically adjusted. Since the verticality is obtained, the fixing work is simplified, and the installation can be easily and quickly performed.
