DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a video security monitoring system installed in a moving shelf device for storing a plurality of shelves, and more particularly to a video safety monitoring system which can be moved manually or electrically in a direction perpendicular to a storage surface. The present invention relates to a video safety monitoring system in a mobile shelf device using a video device installed in a mobile shelf device that stores shelves.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, mobile shelves are classified into a type in which shelves are manually moved and a type in which shelves are moved electrically. And a system that opens and closes by rotating a handle with a booster such as a gear device interposed. However, in any case, there was a feeling of psychological fear or anxiety about whether the worker might be pinched in the passage between shelves in the accounting operation in a narrow passage. Also,
In the opening / closing method by turning the handle or the method of moving the shelf manually, full-scale safety measures to ensure the safety of workers are not taken. Was stopped at

[0003] A conventional moving shelf apparatus is formed as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. That is, FIG. 6 is a plan view of the movable shelf device, and FIG. 7 is a side view of the same device as viewed from the passage side, in which 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, and 6e are movable shelves, 61 and 63 are side walls, 62c is a work passage that is generated as the movable shelf 6d moves rightward, 62d is a work passage that is generated as the movable shelf 6d moves leftward, 71 is an illumination lamp for the movable shelf 6a, 72a is a control panel of the movable shelf 6a, 73a is a passage switch of the movable shelf 6a, 7
7 denotes a guide rail for guiding the movable shelves 6a to 6e, and 78 denotes a floor.

In the above-mentioned conventional moving shelf device, the width of each of the working passages 62c and 62d increases and decreases according to the movement of the moving shelf 6d to the left and right. The carelessness of one worker has the potential to cause a physical danger to other workers.

[0005] This danger has not been completely eliminated even if, for example, a display panel indicating the current state is provided on a control panel on the side of the movable shelf or a mechanism for locking the movable shelf is provided.

[0006]

In the above-mentioned conventional shelf apparatus, ensuring the worker's safety means that a plurality of workers having different purposes work on one shelf apparatus simultaneously. Therefore, it has been very difficult. Since each worker usually only considers his / her work and its safety, there is no way to comprehensively manage the movement of the entire shelf and to secure the safety as a whole. Had not been implemented.

[0007] Therefore, the pressure in the moving direction of the conventional shelf device when moving the shelves is strong enough to overcome the weight friction of the cargo such as books, and if the operator needs to move the shelves between the shelves. There is a problem that there is a risk that sufficient killing power is involved if there is a possibility of being sandwiched between them.

[0008] Further, not only those concerned who fully know that the danger exists may access the shelf device,
There is also a business format that allows general external users to access, and therefore, there has been a problem that it is necessary to ensure the safety of general external users.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and comprehensively and intensively grasps, as video information, a work passage of a movable shelf device and the inside of the movable shelf around the work passage. In addition, the present invention provides a video safety monitoring system capable of grasping, as video information, the opening / closing status of each mobile shelf and the status on the passage side in the mobile shelf device.

[0010]
