JP, 9-137634, A

When the storage unit is configured as described above, if the transported object is stored at the first storage position of the storage unit, the transported object stored at the second storage position of the storage unit cannot be taken out from the storage unit. .. Therefore, when the control unit transports the transported object stored in the second storage position to the worship position as the transportation target based on the transport information and the management information, another transported object is stored in the first storage position. If so, the transfer device is controlled so that the transfer object is transferred from the first storage position to another position, the transfer object is removed from the first storage position, and then the transfer target object is transferred to the worship position. To do.
However, as described above, in the case where the two conveyed objects can be stored in the state of being aligned in the depth direction of the shelf, the following may occur. In other words, when trying to transport the transported article stored in the second storage position to the worship position, for example, the administrator who manages the worship facility in the maintenance work moves the transported article to the first storage position. There is a case in which there is a position abnormal conveyance that is not managed by the management unit in the first storage position. When there is such an abnormally-positioned conveyed product, it can be dealt with by stopping the conveying device in an emergency and removing the abnormally-positioned conveyed product by the administrator. However, if the transportation device is stopped in an emergency, the worshipers who have visited the worship facility cannot worship because the objects to be transported are not transported to the worship position. Further, it is conceivable to remove the abnormally-positioned transported object from the first storage position by the transporting device similarly to the above-described another transported object. However, if the transporting device continues to transport the transported object in this way. However, the administrator cannot recognize that the position abnormality has occurred because the conveyed object having the position abnormality cannot be managed.

  Therefore, it is desired to improve the storage efficiency of the transported objects and to realize a prayer facility that allows worshipers to continue worship while managing the abnormally positioned transported objects when they occur. ..

In view of the above, the characteristic structure of the worship facility is that the storage rack is provided with a plurality of storage units for storing the transported object composed of the ashes and the holding body that holds the ashes, and is installed along the storage rack. A worship facility comprising a carrier device that conveys the conveyed object from the storage unit to a worship position, a control unit that controls the carrier device based on the carrier information, and a management unit that manages management information.
The storage unit may further include a support position for supporting the transported object, separately from the storage unit, wherein the storage unit includes a first storage position which is a storage position on the side of the transfer device and a first storage position. On the other hand, there is a second storage position located on the side opposite to the transport device side, and each of the plurality of storage units stores the transported object in each of the first storage position and the second storage position. By doing so, at least two of the transported objects can be stored in a state of being aligned in the depth direction of the shelf, and the transportation device includes a first detection unit that detects the transported objects stored at the first storage position. The management information is information associating the transport object stored in the storage shelf with a position where the transport object is stored, and the transport information is the transport object transported to the worship position. Is the information indicating the transport target, and the control unit controls the transport target when the transport target is stored at the first storage position based on the management information and the transport information. First transport control for transporting from the first storage position to the worship position, and when the transport target is stored at the second storage position, transfer the transport target from the second storage position to the worship position. When carrying out the second carrying control for carrying and carrying out the second carrying control, the management section manages the first storage position of the storage section in which the object to be carried is stored. When there is no conveyed object and the conveyed object is not detected by the first detection unit, the normal first control for conveying the conveyed object to the worship position is executed, and the second conveyed control is executed. In this case, the first detection unit detects that the transported object managed by the management unit is stored at the first storage position of the storage unit in which the transport target object is stored. In the case of being, after carrying the transported object from the first storage position to the supporting position, the normal second control for transporting the transportation target object to the worship position is executed, and the second transportation control is executed. In this case, it is detected by the first detection unit that the transported object not managed by the management unit is stored at the first storage position of the storage unit in which the transport target object is stored. In this case, while notifying the management section of the abnormality, after carrying the article to be transported from the first storage position to the support position, the abnormal time control of carrying the article to be carried to the worship position is executed, When the management unit receives the abnormality notification, the management unit transports the transported object to the support position. Is carried as an abnormally conveyed product, and the conveyed product is provided with a display section for displaying unique identification information, and is installed at a position corresponding to the support position, and the display section for the conveyed product located at the support position. A reading unit for reading the identification information displayed on the storage shelf, wherein the control unit stores the transported object at the supporting position based on the identification information and the management information. In the case where the return conveyance control is performed to convey the conveyance object to the position and the return conveyance control is not performed, and the conveyance object at the support position is not the position abnormality conveyance object, the original conveyance object is stored. When the conveyed product is conveyed to the first storage position of the storage unit and the conveyed product at the support position is the abnormally conveyed product, the original storage in which the conveyed product was stored The point is that the conveyed product is conveyed to the first storage position or the second storage position of the storage unit that should store the conveyed product different from the set.

With such a configuration, by storing the transported articles in the first storage position and the second storage position respectively, it becomes possible to store the two transported articles in the storage section in a state of being aligned in the depth direction of the shelf. It is possible to improve the storage efficiency of the transported object.
In the case where the storage unit is configured as described above, when the transported object is stored at the first storage position, the control unit executes the first transportation control to transport the transported object to the worship position. The object to be transported is transported from the first storage position to the worship position. Further, when the transported object is stored in the second storage position, the control unit executes the second transportation control to transport the transportation target object from the second storage position to the worship position.

  Then, in the case of executing the second transfer control, when the transferred object does not exist at the first storage position (the transferred object is not managed by the management unit at the first storage position, and the transferred object is also detected by the first detection unit). (If not performed), the target object can be transported from the second storage position to the worship position by executing the first control during normal operation. However, when the transport object is present in the first storage position, the transported object is an obstacle. Therefore, the object to be transported cannot be transported. Therefore, in the case of executing the second transfer control, when the transferred object managed by the management unit is detected by the first detection unit, the normal second control is executed to perform the first storage of the transferred object. After being transported from the position to the support position and removed from the first storage position, the transport object is transported to the worship position.

In addition, for example, there is a case where there is a transported article that is not managed by the management unit at the first storage position due to the administrator moving the transported article to the first storage position P1 during maintenance work. That is, when executing the second transport control, the first detection unit determines that the transport unit that is not managed by the management unit is stored at the first storage position of the storage unit that stores the transport target object. May be detected. In such a case, the abnormality control is executed in the second transport control to notify the management unit of the abnormality, and after the transport object is transported from the first storage position to the support position, the transport object is Transport it to the worship position. As described above, by executing the abnormal time control, the object to be transported can be transported to the worship position, so that it is possible to avoid that the worshipers who have visited the worship facility cannot worship. In addition, since the management unit manages the conveyed product conveyed to the support position as the conveyed product having the abnormal position by the abnormality notification, the administrator who manages the conveyance equipment can refer to the management information of the management unit to detect the positional abnormality. It is possible to recognize that a conveyed product has occurred, and it is possible to cope with the occurrence of an abnormally conveyed product.
Further, according to this configuration, when the abnormally-positioned conveyed product is conveyed to the support position by the abnormal time control, the reading unit reads the unique identification information shown on the display of the abnormally-positioned conveyed product. be able to. Then, the control unit determines the position of the storage shelf where the conveyed product indicated by the identification information is to be stored, based on the identification information of the abnormally conveyed product read by the reading unit and the management information managed by the management unit. Can be determined. Therefore, the control unit can execute the return conveyance control to convey the abnormally-positioned conveyed goods to the position of the storage shelf where the abnormally conveyed goods should be stored. Can be treated as

Further, "the transported object 1 not managed by the control device H" means that the identification information of the transported object 1 is not included in the management information, or that the identification information of the transported object 1 is included in the management information. However, it is the transported article 1 stored at a position different from the storage position indicated by the management information.

When executing the second transfer control, the control device H does not have the transfer object 1 managed by the control device H at the first storage position P1 of the storage unit 2 in which the transfer target object 1T is stored. If the conveyed object 1 is not detected by the sensor 19 either, the normal first control for directly conveying the conveyed object 1T to the worship position P3 is executed (S41 to S43).
That is, the control device H determines that the transport device 1 is managed by the control device H at the first storage position P1 of the storage unit 2 in which the transport target 1T is stored, based on the transport information and the management information. In the state where the transfer device 17 is located at the lower target position, the presence sensor 19 detects that the transported article 1 does not exist at the first storage position P1 and the transported article 1 exists at the second storage position P2. If the transported object 1 is not detected at the first storage position P1 by the stock sensor 19, it is determined that the transported object 1 is not stored at the first storage position P1, and the normal first control is performed. Run. By executing the normal first control, the stacker crane 8 and the transfer conveyor 9 transfer the transfer target 1T from the second storage position P2 to the worship position P3 (see FIG. 8 ).

Further, when executing the second transfer control, the control device H stores the transfer object 1 managed by the control device H at the first storage position P1 of the storage unit 2 in which the transfer target 1T is stored. If it is detected by the presence sensor 19, the conveyed object 1 is conveyed from the first storage position P1 to the support position P5, and then the conveyed object 1T is conveyed to the worship position P3.
