参照）。Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described. It is assumed that the article storage device 1 is empty, that is, all the lifting article support members 32 are lowered below the transport surface of the loading / unloading conveyor 15. First, stopper 50
Is projected, while the detector 53 is kept in a lowered state. After that, the articles W are sequentially conveyed from the second connecting conveyor 47 to the entering and exiting conveyor 15 as the second connecting conveyor 47 and the entering and exiting conveyor 15 are driven.
Since the leading article W hits the stopper 50 and stops, subsequent articles W also sequentially hit the preceding article W and stop. Then, with the predetermined number of articles W placed on the loading / unloading conveyor 15, the loading / unloading conveyor 15 and the second connecting conveyor 47 are once stopped. After that, the uppermost lifting article support member 32 is lifted up, and the uppermost lifting article support member 3
2 picks up the article W on the loading / unloading conveyor 15. The top lifting article support member 32 is the loading / unloading conveyor 1
At the height position where it does not collide with the next article W carried in 5, the uppermost lifting article support member 32 is stopped. Since the bar 35 is provided on the lifting / lowering article support member 32, the article storage device 1 can handle any article W having a size that can be picked up by the bar 35. After that, the above operation is repeated to scoop up the article W by all the lifting article support members 32 (FIG. 7).

品収納装置１の作動を再開させる。Next, a method for carrying out the articles W stored in the article storage device 1 will be described. The lowermost elevating / lowering article support member 32 is lowered, and the article W thereon is lowered onto the loading / unloading conveyor 15. It is needless to say that the second lifted article support member 32 from the bottom does not collide with the article W on the loading / unloading conveyor 15. After that, stopper 5
0 is lowered to drive the loading / unloading conveyor 15 and the first connecting conveyor 45 to send all the articles W on the loading / unloading conveyor 15 to the first connecting conveyor 45. After that, the storage / delivery conveyor 15 and the first connecting conveyor 45 are once stopped, and in order to detect whether or not the article W remains on the storage / delivery conveyor 15, the stopper 50 and the detector 53 are projected and the detector 53. "ON" is activated. Then, it is possible to know that the article W does not remain on the loading / unloading conveyor 15 by the detector 53 receiving the signal, and the article W is on the loading / unloading conveyor 15 when the detector 53 does not receive the signal. You can know what is left. If no article W remains on the loading / unloading conveyor 15, the stopper 50 and the detector 53 are lowered and the same operation as described above is performed. If the article W remains on the loading / unloading conveyor 15, the article storage device 1 is stopped. Therefore, after the worker performs a predetermined inspection or the like, the operation of the article storage device 1 is restarted.
