The present invention relates to an article storage system in which articles are picked up, stored, and delivered unattended. The present invention also relates to a cleaning service providing system and a method for providing the cleaning service.

In the case of a cleaning store where people respond to the laundry (reception) and deliver it, the cleaning user must come to the store during the business hours of the cleaning store, but the cleaning user does not necessarily come to the store during the business hours. Many cleaning users found it inconvenient because it was not always possible. In addition, even in cleaning stores, there has been a constant shortage of human resources, such as the need for manpower not only for the original cleaning work but also for the collection and delivery of laundry.

Therefore, an installation type cleaning box (cleaning locker) capable of unmanned pick-up and delivery of laundry by a cleaning user has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1). In the cleaning service using this stationary cleaning box, the cleaning user posts the laundry to the locker. The cleaning company collects the laundry in the locker, cleans it, and puts the cleaned laundry (product) in the locker again for storage. Since the locker can be used 24 hours a day, the cleaning user can take out the product from the locker at any time, and the cleaning company needs to respond directly at least by picking up the laundry and delivering the product. do not have.

However, the cleaning service using the stationary cleaning box requires a place to install lockers, and the number of products that can be stored is limited to the number of lockers. That is, it is difficult to handle a large amount of laundry, unlike the response at a laundry shop. Furthermore, if the cleaning user does not come to pick up the goods, not only will the locker not be available, but extra maintenance costs will be incurred.

Therefore, an unmanned delivery system for a cleaning service using a storage location in a cleaning store has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 2). With this system, it is possible to store products in a cleaning store while unmanned reception of laundry and delivery of products, so unlike a stationary cleaning box, many products can be stored without the need for a new installation location. Can be stored.

However, in the conventional unmanned system, in the storage method of the product, it is necessary for the cleaning company to input the position of the hanger for suspending the product and the control number of the product by the cleaning company, and the product may be misunderstood due to an input error. There was a problem with the delivery of the product. Furthermore, although the picking machine is used to unmanned the delivery of products, the picking machine is difficult to adjust and there is a concern that the product may fall, so it was not always an easy system for cleaning companies to use. In addition, the system was not easy for cleaning users to use, as the cleaning users themselves had to perform the measurement work of the laundry at the reception and the bagging work of the products after delivery.

In view of the above problems, one of the problems of the present invention is to provide an article storage system for unmanned collection, storage and delivery of articles and a method for storing articles. Another object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning service providing system and a method for providing the cleaning service with improved convenience and work efficiency in the reception of laundry or the storage or delivery of products after cleaning.

The article storage system according to the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a conveyor rail and first to nth openings (n is a natural number) for suspending a hanging tool for holding the article, and is a conveyor that can move along the conveyor rail. The rack, the first sensor that reads the k-identification information attached to the hanger suspended from the k-opening (1 ≦ k ≦ n) of the first to n-th openings, and the k-opening. A control device for associating and storing the k-th identification information is included.

Further, in the method for storing an article according to an embodiment of the present invention, a conveyor rack provided with first to nth openings (n is a natural number) for suspending a hanging tool for holding the article is placed along a conveyor rail. While moving and moving the conveyor rack, the first sensor reads the kth identification information attached to the hanger suspended from the kth opening (1 ≦ k ≦ n).
The k-th opening and the k-th identification information are associated and stored.

<First Embodiment>
A system for providing a cleaning service and a method for providing a cleaning service according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cleaning service providing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Further, FIG. 2A shows a side view of the cleaning service providing system 100, and FIG. 2B shows a top view of the cleaning service providing system 100.

[Cleaning service provision system]
The cleaning service providing system 100 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a conveyor rail 110, a conveyor rack 120, a sensor 130, and a control device 140. The conveyor rail 110 is supported by the rail support portion 111. The conveyor rack 120 includes a plurality of conveyor fittings 121 and a plurality of connected movable portions 122. An opening 123 is provided in each of the plurality of conveyor fittings 121. The sensor 130 is supported by the sensor support portion 131. Hereinafter, each configuration will be described in detail.

The conveyor rail 110 is supported by a rail support 111 so that it can maintain a constant height above the floor. Although FIG. 2A shows a configuration in which the rail support portion 111 is installed on the floor to support the conveyor rail 110, the rail support portion 111 is fixed to the ceiling or wall to support the conveyor rail 110. May be.

The conveyor rack 120 includes a plurality of conveyor fittings 121 and a plurality of connected movable portions 122. Each of the plurality of conveyor metal fittings 121 is connected by a connecting movable portion 122 and is provided so as to go around the conveyor rail 110. Further, each of the plurality of conveyor fittings 121 is provided with one or a plurality of openings 123 for suspending the suspending tool 500. The shape of the opening 123 provided in the conveyor metal fitting 121 shown in FIG. 2A is pentagonal, but the shape of the opening 123 is not limited to this. The shape of the opening 123 can be a polygon such as a triangle or a quadrangle, or can be a circle or an ellipse. Further, the shape of the opening 123 can be determined in consideration of the shape of the hanging tool 500 suspended from the opening 123 or the weight of the product 800 after cleaning. For example, when the shape of the lower portion of the opening 123 has a convex portion, the hanger 500 tends to be stable at the convex portion. Further, when the shape of the lower portion of the opening 123 is relatively flat, the hanger 500 can move in the opening 123, so that when the conveyor rack 120 moves, the lower portion of the opening 123 is moved. The force can be dispersed.

When a plurality of openings 123 are provided in the conveyor metal fitting 121, the shapes of the plurality of openings 123 do not have to be the same. For example, when the hanger 500 is hung from the opening 123 at a position away from the connecting movable portion 122, the load of the connecting movable portion 122 is higher than when the hanger is hung at the opening 123 at a position close to the connecting movable portion 122. big. Therefore, the shape of the opening 123 at a position away from the connected movable portion 122 is made smaller than the shape of the opening 123 at a position close to the connected movable portion 122 to increase the rigidity, so that the position is separated from the connected movable portion 122. The force applied to the lower part of the opening 123 can be dispersed. Further, the position of the opening 123 away from the connecting movable portion 122 is provided above the position of the opening 123 near the connecting movable portion 122, and the lower portion of the opening 123 located at a position away from the connecting movable portion 122. It is also possible to disperse the force applied to.

The conveyor metal fitting 121 does not necessarily have to be a flat plate. Since the lower portion of the opening 123 is a portion to which a force is easily applied by the hanger 500, the thickness of the conveyor fitting in the lower portion of the opening 123 may be thicker than that in the upper portion of the opening 123. Further, a protrusion may be provided on the conveyor metal fitting at the lower part of the opening 123. Since the area of contact with the hanger 500 at the lower portion of the opening 123 increases, the force applied to the lower portion of the opening 123 can be dispersed.

It is preferable that the connecting portion of the conveyor fitting 121 is provided with a means for blocking the gap between the adjacent conveyor fittings. As a means for blocking light from the gap, for example, there is a method of providing a plate at the connecting portion to block light, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the case of detection of the opening 123 using a photoelectric sensor described later, if there is a gap in the connecting portion, not only the opening 123 but also the gap in the connecting portion may be detected as the opening. Therefore, the detection accuracy of the opening 123 can be improved by blocking the gap between the connecting portions.

The movement of the conveyor rack 120 is performed by the connecting movable portion 122 connected to the conveyor metal fitting 121 moving along the conveyor rail 110. Therefore, the connecting movable portion 122 has a means for moving along the conveyor rail 110. Hereinafter, a method of moving the conveyor rack 120 will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a part of the cleaning service providing system according to the embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, FIG. 3A shows an enlarged view of a side surface portion of the conveyor rail 110 and the conveyor rack 120, and FIG. 3B shows an enlarged view of a cross-sectional portion of the conveyor rail 110 and the conveyor rack 120. .. The conveyor rail 110 has a structure in which a part of the side surface is recessed inside. On the other hand, the connecting movable portion 122 is provided with wheels that can travel on the recess inside the conveyor rail 110, in addition to the shaft that connects the conveyor fitting 121. Therefore, when the wheels of the connecting movable portion 122 move along the conveyor rail 110, the conveyor metal fitting 121 connected by the connecting movable portion 122 can also move along the conveyor rail 110. The method of moving the conveyor rack 120 is not limited to this. For example, a chain or a belt can be used instead of the wheel of the connecting movable portion 122.

The sensor 130 is fixed by the sensor support portion 131 and reads the identification information passing through the predetermined position (first position) of the conveyor rail 110. In FIG. 2A, the sensor support portion 131 is provided on the conveyor rail 110, and the sensor 130 is fixed on the sensor support portion 131, but the fixed position of the sensor 130 is not limited to this. The sensor 130 may be fixed under the sensor support 131 provided on the conveyor rail 110. Further, the sensor support portion 131 may be fixed to the ceiling, floor or wall, and the sensor 130 may be fixed.

The sensor 130 reads the identification information passing through the first position in a non-contact manner, specifically, the identification information attached to the hanger 500 suspended from the opening 123. As the sensor 130, a barcode reader can be used when the identification information uses a barcode, and an ID reader can be used when the identification information uses an ID chip (for example, an ID tag). .. Further, in the case of identification information using a barcode, the sensor 130 may be a sensor that can recognize the barcode as an image, and for example, an image sensor can also be used. The sensor 130 may be a sensor in which a plurality of sensors are combined.

Even if the conveyor rack 120 moves, the sensor 130 does not move. Therefore, the sensor 130 can always read the identification information passing through the first position while moving the conveyor rack 120. Specifically, while moving the conveyor rack 120, it is possible to read the identification information attached to the hanger 500 suspended from the opening 123 passing through the first position.

The position where the identification information is attached is not necessarily limited to the hanger 500. The structure may be such that the product 800 suspended from the opening 123 at the first position can be identified while the conveyor rack 120 moves. Here, with reference to FIG. 4, the position to which the identification information is attached will be described. FIG. 4 is an example of a case where a tag 520 on which identification information is printed as a barcode is attached in a state where the hanging tool 500 is suspended from the opening 123. FIG. 4A shows a state in which the hanging tool 500 is suspended from the opening 123, and the tag 520 is wound around the hanging tool 500 and fixed. It is also possible to directly fix the tag 520 without winding it. FIG. 4B shows a state in which the hanging tool 500 is suspended from the opening 123, and the tag 520 is wound around the conveyor metal fitting 121 through the opening 123 and fixed above the opening 123. In this way, the identification information can be attached by using the position above the opening 123 in which the hanging tool 500 is not suspended. FIG. 4C shows a state in which the tag 520 is directly fixed to the conveyor metal fitting 121 without passing through the opening 123. For example, the tag 520 can be directly fixed to the conveyor metal fitting 121 by using a fixing tool such as a clip. Further, a position where the tag 520 can be fixed can be provided in advance. For example, the conveyor metal fitting 121 may be provided with a protrusion and the tag 520 may be inserted and fixed, or the conveyor metal fitting 121 may be provided with a pocket and the tag may be inserted into the pocket. When the conveyor metal fitting 121 is provided with a position for attaching the identification information, the variation in the position of the identification information can be suppressed as compared with the case where the identification information is attached to the hanger 500, so that the accuracy of reading the identification information by the sensor 130 is improved. .. However, in the following, as an example of the present embodiment, a configuration in which identification information is attached to the hanger 500 will be described for convenience.

Although not shown, the control device 140 includes an operation unit, a reception unit, a control unit, and a storage unit. The operation unit of the control device 140 mainly includes parameters for controlling the conveyor rack 120 (for example, start and stop of movement of the conveyor rack 120, rotation speed of the conveyor rack 120, number of openings 123, and openings 123. It has a function to input the stop position of. The operation unit of the control device 140 is preferably a touch panel, but is not limited to this. It suffices to have an input means, and a display provided with an input interface such as a keyboard can be used as an operation unit of the control device 140. Further, the receiving unit of the control device 140 mainly has a function of receiving a signal from the sensor 130. The signal received from the sensor 130 includes the identification information read by the sensor 130. Further, the control unit of the control device 140 has a function of associating and storing identification information with each of the plurality of openings 123. Hereinafter, a method (linking step) in which the control device 140 associates the first to nth identification information read by the sensor 130 with the first to nth openings (n is a natural number) will be described.

In the associating step, a step of specifying the opening 123 passing through the first position and a step of associating and storing the identified opening 123 and the identification information attached to the hanger 500 suspended from the opening 123 are stored. And are included.

In the control device 140, the distance around the conveyor rail 110, the position of the reference opening 123 (origin position), and the number of openings 123 are registered as parameters. The distance around the conveyor rail 110, the origin position, and the number of openings 123 may be changed by the operation unit of the control device 140. If the distance (opening pitch) between two adjacent openings 123 is the same, the openings will be provided every natural number of times the opening pitch. That is, based on the registered parameters, the first opening to the nth opening (n is a natural number) can be defined with the opening 123 at the origin position as a reference. Further, the control device 140 measures the distance from the origin position of the opening 123 passing through the first position, so that the opening 123 passing through the first position is the kth opening (1 ≦ k ≦ n). It is possible to identify that there is.

A sensor for detecting the opening 123, for example, a photoelectric sensor or the like may be provided. When the photoelectric sensor is provided, the light emitted from the light projecting portion of the photoelectric sensor is reflected in the portion where the opening 123 of the conveyor fitting 121 is not provided, and is reflected in the portion where the opening 123 of the conveyor fitting 121 is provided. Not reflected. Therefore, the presence or absence of the opening 123 can be detected by detecting the light in the light receiving portion of the photoelectric sensor. Therefore, the control device 140 counts the number of openings 123 with reference to the opening 123 at the origin position, and the opening 123 that has passed through the first position is the kth opening (1 ≦ k ≦ n). It can be specified. It is also possible to specify the k-th opening using both the moving distance of the conveyor rack 120 and the count number of the opening 123. Further, the on / off of the sensor 130 can be controlled by detecting the presence / absence of the opening 123 by the photoelectric sensor.

The sensor 130 reads the k-th identification information attached to the hanger 500 suspended from the k-th opening. The control device 140 receives the k-th identification information from the sensor 130, and stores the k-th opening and the k-th identification information in association with each other.

Here, another linking step will be described. In each of the first to nth openings, ID chips having the first to nID numbers are arranged corresponding to the first to nth openings.
Therefore, by reading the ID number, the opening 123 passing through the first position can be specified. For example, the sensor 130 is composed of a plurality of sensors. That is, it is composed of a sensor that can read the identification information attached to the hanger 500 and a sensor that can read the ID number of the opening 123. It should be noted that the sensor that reads the identification information attached to the hanger 500 and the sensor that reads the ID chip of the opening 123 do not necessarily have to be provided at the same position, and if they are provided at the position where the accuracy of each sensor is highest. good.

When the conveyor rack 120 moves, the sensor 130 reads the ID number of the opening 123 that has passed through the first position, and the control device 140 reads the ID number that has passed through the first position from the read ID number. Identify that. Further, the sensor 130 reads the k-th identification information attached to the hanger 500 suspended from the k-th opening. The control device 140 receives the k-th identification information from the sensor 130, and stores the k-th opening and the k-th identification information in association with each other. According to this binding step, since the openings 123 are managed by the ID number, it is not necessary to provide the openings 123 at equal intervals, and the range of freedom in the shape of the conveyor metal fitting 121 is widened.

By associating the identification information with each of the openings 123, it is possible to identify the opening 123 from the identification information and move the opening 123 to a predetermined position (second position) of the conveyor rail 110. .. Therefore, the control device 140 may be provided with a means for inputting the identification information and a means for reading the identification information. For example, if the operation unit of the control device 140 is provided with means for inputting the identification information, the k-th identification information can be input to the operation unit of the control device 140 and the k-th opening can be moved to the second position. Further, a sensor for reading the k-th identification information is provided in the operation unit of the control device 140, and the control device 140 is associated with the k-th identification information based on the k-th identification information read by the sensor. Can also be moved to the second position.

According to the present embodiment, the cleaning service providing system 100 identifies the position of the opening 123 of the conveyor rack 120, reads the identification information suspended from the opening 123, and reads the identification information as the opening 123. And are automatically linked. Further, the arbitrary opening 123 can be moved to a predetermined position based on the associated identification information. Therefore, not only can many products 800 be stored in the conveyor rack 120, but also the products 800 stored based on the identification information can be taken out at an arbitrary position on the conveyor rail 110. Therefore, the work load of the cleaning company is reduced, and the work efficiency is greatly improved.

Since the cleaning service providing system 100 is an excellent system for storing clothes, it can be used not only as a cleaning service but also as a hotel cloakroom or a clothes warehouse.

[How to provide cleaning service]
Hereinafter, a method of providing a cleaning service using the providing system 100 will be described.

When receiving laundry from a cleaning user, the cleaning company attaches identification information (user identification information) to the laundry so that the laundry can be identified as belonging to the cleaning user, and also to the cleaning user. Hand over the deposit slip with the user identification information. It should be noted that the user identification information only needs to be able to identify that the laundry belongs to the cleaning user. For example, the member number or telephone number of the cleaning user can be used as the user identification information. Further, the order in which the cleaning company accepts the laundry may be used as the user identification information. As a method of attaching the user identification information to the laundry, a tag printed with a barcode including the user identification information may be attached, or an ID tag including the user identification information may be attached. On the other hand, the deposit slip with the user identification information may be a paper on which a barcode containing the user identification information is printed, an IC card provided with an IC chip, or a cleaning user. The user identification information may be transmitted to a mobile terminal or the like, and the user identification information may be displayed on the mobile terminal or the like.

The cleaning company collects the laundry and cleans it. The product 800 after cleaning is hung on the hanging tool 500, and the user identification information is attached to the hanging tool 500. As a method of attaching the user identification information to the hanger 500, a tag printed with a barcode including the user identification information may be attached, or an ID chip including the user identification information may be attached.

The providing system 100 is installed in a cleaning shop and is used for storage and delivery of goods 800. The product 800 is transported to a cleaning shop and suspended from the opening 123 of the providing system 100. In the providing system 100, the cleaning company does not have to input the position of the opening 123 in which the product 800 is suspended. Therefore, the cleaning company can find the vacant opening 123 and freely hang the product 800.

After all the products 800 are suspended, the conveyor rack 120 is started to move by operating the control device 140. The control device 140 identifies that the opening 123 that has passed through the first position of the conveyor rail 110 is the kth opening. Further, the sensor 130 reads the k-th user identification information attached to the hanger 500 suspended from the k-th opening. Further, the control device 140 receives the k-th user identification information from the sensor 130, and stores the k-th opening and the k-th user identification information in association with each other. The product 800 is stored in the provision system 100 in the cleaning store.

The linking step in which the conveyor rail 110 is moved does not necessarily have to be after the transportation of the product 800. As will be described later, since it is necessary to move the conveyor rack 120 when delivering the product 800, the linking step may be performed at that time. It is also possible to perform the linking step during the time when there are no cleaning users in the cleaning store. In addition, a timer can automatically perform the linking step.

After performing the associating step, the control device 140 may move the conveyor rack 120 so that the predetermined opening 123 can be stopped at a preset stop position. For example, the stop position of the opening 123 can be set in advance in consideration of the position where there are many products 800, the position of the product whose delivery date is early, and the like.

Next, the delivery of the product 800 will be described. The cleaning company receives the deposit slip from the cleaning user who visited the store and reads the user identification information attached to the deposit slip. Whether or not the control device 140 receives the user identification information attached to the deposit slip and matches any of the user identification information and the first user identification information stored in the control device 140 to the nth user identification information. Judgment is made. When the user identification information matches the kth user identification information, the control device 140 starts moving the conveyor rack 120, and the kth opening associated with the kth user identification information is used in the product 800. It is moved to the second position of the conveyor rail 110 designated as the delivery port. The cleaning company takes out the product 800 suspended from the opening 123 stopped at the second position, and delivers the product 800 to the cleaning user.

According to the present embodiment, the cleaning service providing system 100 identifies the position of the opening 123 of the conveyor rack 120, reads the user identification information suspended from the opening 123, and reads the opening 123. Automatically associates with user identification information. Further, the arbitrary opening 123 can be moved to a predetermined position based on the associated user identification information. Therefore, the cleaning company can suspend and store the product 800 of the cleaning user in an arbitrary opening 123 without performing the tying work. Further, the cleaning company can move the product 800 to a predetermined position and deliver the product 800 to the cleaning user without searching for the product 800. Further, since there is no work error in the tying work by the cleaning company, it is possible to reduce the misunderstanding of the product 800 to be delivered to the cleaning user. Therefore, the work load of the cleaning company is reduced, and the work efficiency is greatly improved.

<8th Embodiment>
Here, a method of providing a cleaning service according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Here, in order to more specifically explain the method of providing the cleaning service, the provision system 200 and the reception device 260 described in the fourth embodiment will be used for convenience, but the cleaning service of the present embodiment will be described. The provision method is not limited to these.

In the present embodiment, an ID tag is attached to each laundry of the cleaning user. Since the laundry is cleaned, the ID tag attached to the laundry is preferably wash-resistant. The cleaning company accepts the laundry with the ID tag attached from the cleaning user at the reception counter 16 or the reception device 260, but may read the ID tag attached to the laundry instead of the user identification information. If the ID tag is not attached to the laundry, the ID tag can be attached to the laundry at a cleaning shop.

Since the ID tag is attached to each laundry, the cleaning company can manage the status (cleaning identification information) of the laundry or the product 800 after cleaning based on the ID tag. That is, the cleaning company can obtain cleaning identification information such as the type of laundry and the number of cleanings by reading the ID tag of the laundry, and determines the cleaning price according to the type of laundry or the number of cleanings. You can get a discount on the cleaning price.

In addition, the user identification information of the cleaning user and the ID tag of the laundry may be linked and managed. For example, when cleaning laundry, the laundry is managed with an ID tag. That is, even when cleaning the laundry of a plurality of cleaning users, it is possible to read the ID tag of the laundry and collectively clean the laundry of the same type and conditions. Further, even in the product 800 after cleaning, the ID tag of the laundry can be read and the cleaning user can be identified from the associated user identification information. Therefore, even if the products 800 are cleaned on different days, the products 800 can be managed for each cleaning user. Further, since the cleaning company does not need to attach a tag to each laundry when cleaning, the work load of the cleaning company is reduced and the work efficiency is greatly improved.

After cleaning, the product 800 is stored by reading the ID tag at a cleaning factory or a cleaning store. By managing using the ID tag even in the cleaning factory or the cleaning store, it becomes possible to specify the storage location of the product 800 based on the cleaning identification information. As a storage method, the providing system 200 can be used. By using the providing system 200, even when the product 800 is delivered to the cleaning user, the product 800 can be taken out at a predetermined position without searching for the position of the product 800.

The product 800 may be photographed so that the cleaning user can view the product 800 with an application of a mobile terminal such as a personal computer or a smartphone. The cleaning user can receive a notification that the cleaning of the product 800 has been completed, and can confirm the cleaning status of the product 800 by looking at a photograph on the application.

If it is not necessary to check the cleaning state of the product 800 on the application, the photograph taken at the time of the first cleaning can be used in the second and subsequent cleanings. Further, in that case, the photograph may be taken when the laundry is received or when the ID tag is attached. In addition, photography can be done during cleaning.

The cleaning service application will be described in detail below.

Since the ID tag is attached to the product 800, the cleaning company can safely manage the product 800 by registering various information as the cleaning identification information of the ID tag. For example, if the material of the product 800 is registered and a warning of the useful life is notified, a cleaning accident can be prevented. Further, by tracing the ID tag, the position of the laundry cleaning process and the cleaning worker can be specified. The cleaning service application can browse information based on such cleaning identification information.

Further, not only the cleaning company but also the cleaning user can manage the product 800. That is, it is possible to dispose of the product 800 based on the information from the cleaning user. Therefore, it is preferable that the application of the cleaning service not only allows the cleaning user to browse the product 800 but also allows the cleaning user to input information about the product 800. For example, the information regarding the product 800 input by the cleaning user includes whether or not the product 800 is discarded, the size or manufacturer of the clothing, the price or purchase date at the time of purchase, a photograph or comment when the product 800 is worn, and the like. However, it is not limited to these.

The advantage of using the cleaning service application is that the cleaning user can decide to dispose of the product 800 based on the information from the cleaning company included in the cleaning identification information. For example, a cleaning user can decide to store, dispose of, sell, or rent the product 800 based on information such as the number of times the product 800 has been cleaned. Further, regarding the storage of the product 800, by having the cleaning user decide the storage period of the product 800, the cleaning company does not need to store the product 800 indefinitely, and the stock of the stored product 800 is lost. Can be managed.

The application of the cleaning service may allow the user of the application to browse the predetermined information in the product 800 so that the user of the application can buy or sell the product 800 or rent it. When the sale or rental of the product 800 is successful, the product 800 stored from the factory or store of the cleaning company can be sent directly to the purchaser. Not only does the cleaning user not have to ship the item, but the item 800 is after cleaning, and the cleaning company, who is an expert on clothing, actually confirms the item 800, so the purchase The person can purchase the product 800 with confidence. The purchaser of the product 800 can also visit a nearby cleaning store and receive the product 800 by using the providing system 200. Further, in the case of renting the product 800, it can be returned to the mailing slot 263 of the cleaning reception device 260.

In addition, the cleaning user can request the cleaning company through the application to buy, sell, or rent the product 800 stored by the cleaning company. Furthermore, instead of making the service only between users of the cleaning service application, a flea market or an online auction that is already known may be utilized. That is, the cleaning company may sell the product 800 on behalf of the cleaning company. By associating the ID tag of the product 800 with the user identification information, the cleaning company identifies the cleaning user from the user identification information and charges a fee when the sale or rental of the product 800 is successful. Can also be collected.

Another use of the cleaning service application is to send a message from the cleaning company to the cleaning user. For example, if the user of the application has not performed cleaning for a while, the user of the application can be urged to perform cleaning.

According to the present embodiment, by attaching and managing the ID tag to the laundry, not only the work efficiency of the cleaning company is improved, but also the cleaning company can provide the service associated with the cleaning. Further, by using the application of the cleaning service, even when the cleaning user does not use the product 800, the product 800 stored in the cleaning factory or the cleaning store can be effectively utilized. Cleaning users can also manage their clothes with the application without worrying about where they are stored.

Specifically, FIG. 13A is an enlarged view of the conveyor rack 720 of the providing system 700. Further, FIG. 13B is a cross-sectional view of the conveyor rack 720 cut along the line AA'shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 13 (A), the cleaning service providing system 700 includes a conveyor rack 720. The conveyor rack 720 includes a plurality of conveyor fittings 721 and a plurality of connecting movable portions 722. The adjacent conveyor fittings 721 are connected by a shaft of a connecting movable portion 722. Further, the plurality of conveyor fittings 721 are connected so as to form an annular shape. Wheels are provided at one end of the shaft of the connecting movable portion 722, and can move along the conveyor rail. Therefore, in the providing system 700, the conveyor rack 720 can move along the conveyor rails.

In the providing system 700, one opening 723 is provided in one conveyor metal fitting 721. Therefore, the distance between the connected movable portions 722 is small. The conveyor rack 720 can be moved around the shaft of the connected movable portion 722, and in the providing system 700 in which the distance between the connected movable portions 722 is small, the radius of curvature in the movement of the conveyor rack 720 can be reduced. That is, in the providing system 700, since the conveyor rail can include many curves having a small radius of curvature, the degree of freedom in the installation location of the providing system 700 is high. In addition, the provided system 700 can be miniaturized. Therefore, the provision system 700 can be used not only as a cleaning service but also as a closet for a private house (including an apartment or condominium).

The hanging tool 550 shown in FIG. 15 includes a hanging portion 551 and a storage body 552. The hanger 550 stores the article in the storage body 552 and is suspended by the hanger 551 at the opening 923 of the conveyor rack 920. That is, the hanger 550 is hung from the opening 923 while holding the article.

In the hanger 550, the end portion of the hanger portion 551 is joined to the storage body 552, and the storage body 552 can be supported. The suspension portion 551 shown in FIG. 15 supports the storage body 552 at one place, but the storage body 552 can also be supported at a plurality of places. For example, the suspension portion 551 may have four branched ends, each end of which is joined to one of the four corners of the top surface of the storage body 552 to support the storage body 552. By supporting the accommodating body 552 at a plurality of locations by the suspending portion 551, the suspending tool 550 becomes stable even if the conveyor rack 920 moves.

The storage body 552 has a space for storing articles in the storage body 552. Further, although not shown, the storage body 552 may have a door that can be opened and closed when storing an article. Further, the storage body 552 shown in FIG. 15 is a box body, but the shape of the storage body 552 is not limited to this. The storage body 552 can also be shaped according to the article. Further, the shape of the storage body 552 may be an irregular shape such as a bag body.

User identification information is attached to the hanger 550. In the hanging tool 550 shown in FIG. 15, a tag 520 on which a barcode including user identification information is printed is attached to the hanging portion 551. The hanging tool 550 may have an ID tag including user identification information attached to the hanging portion 551 or the storage body 552.

Returning to FIG. 14, the article storage system 900 will be described.

In the article storage system 900, the conveyor rack 920 moves along the conveyor rail 910. The hanger 550 in which the article is stored is suspended from the opening 923 of the conveyor rack 920, and is moved by the movement of the conveyor rack 920. The sensor 930 reads the user identification information of the tag 520 attached to the hanger 550, and the control device 940 stores the opening 923 and the user identification information in association with each other. Therefore, in the article storage system 900, the opening 923 and the suspending tool 550 are managed by the user identification information, and the article is stored in a state of being suspended by the suspending tool 500.

In the article storage system 900, the article that the user wants to store can be deposited and received through the reception device 950. However, the usage pattern of the article storage system 900 is not limited to this. Depending on the place or service where the goods storage system 900 is installed, the reception (keeping) of goods and the receipt of goods may be separated. Further, the user himself / herself may operate the article storage system 900 to store the article, or may store the article through a worker who operates the article storage system 900.

The user operates the reception device 950, opens the door 951 of the reception device 950, and hangs the hanging tool 550 containing the article in the opening 923. Since the user performs the work of storing the article in the hanging tool 550 in front of the reception device 950, it is preferable that the reception device 950 is provided with a workbench 952. For example, as shown in FIG. 14A, the conveyor rail 910 can enter the reception device 950, and the workbench 952 can be provided at the portion where the door 951 of the reception device 950 is opened.

Further, when the user registers the user information in the reception device 950, the tag 520 in which the user identification information is printed as a barcode is output from the reception device 950. The user winds the tag 520 around the hanging portion 551 of the hanging tool 550. A card with user identification information may be issued in advance, and the reception device 950 may read the card to output the tag 520.

Further, when a card with user identification information is used, the tag 520 may not be output. In this case, the control device 940 associates the user identification information of the card read by the reception device 950 with the opening 923 in front of the door 951 of the reception device 950. In this case, it is not necessary to provide the sensor 930 in the article storage system 900. The article storage system 900 without the sensor 930 can be manufactured at low cost because the manufacturing cost is suppressed.

In the case of depositing an article in the article storage system 900, when the hanging tool 550 in which the article is stored is suspended in front of the door 951 of the reception device 950, the opening 923 in which the hanging tool 550 is not suspended is opened. Move the conveyor rack 920 so that it is located in front of the door 951. After that, the door 951 of the reception device 950 is opened. By doing so, the user can perform the work when the conveyor rack 920 is stopped, so that the safety of the user is ensured.

When you receive the goods, you can do it in the same way as when you deposit the goods.

The hanger 550 may be fixed to the article storage system 900. That is, the hanger 550 may be configured so that it cannot be removed from the conveyor rack 920. In this case, the user can store the article in the hanger 550 without removing the hanger 550. In this case, since the user does not need to suspend the hanging tool 550, the burden on the user can be reduced.

In the article storage system 900, the hanging tool 550 may be heavy depending on the articles to be stored. Therefore, it is preferable to increase the rigidity of the conveyor rack 920. For example, the rigidity of the conveyor rack 920 can be increased by reducing the number of openings 923 provided in the conveyor rack 920 or reducing the opening area of the openings.

The article storage system 900 can be installed, for example, in a warehouse for storing articles. Further, the goods storage system 900 can be installed in an apartment house such as a condominium or an apartment and used as a shared closet or a shared warehouse for residents of the condominium. The article storage system 900 can also be used in a hotel cloakroom or the like. Further, by installing the article storage system 900 in the empty space of the store, the empty space can be effectively used as a trunk room.

According to the present embodiment, by using the article storage system 900, articles can be stored without coming into contact with the floor (away from the floor). Therefore, the articles stored using the article storage system 900 are not easily affected by the floor (temperature and humidity), and the articles can be stored while maintaining a constant environment. Further, since the user identification information is attached to the hanger 550, the articles stored in the hanger 550 can be managed only by a specific user.
