As shown in FIG. 5.6, the lateral transfer device 20 is activated with its retaining roller 22 hooked to the engagements 1 & 32 of the storage body 30, and horizontally transfers the storage body 30 into a predetermined storage section 3. do.

In the storage unit 3, the storage body 30 is positioned with its traveling casters 31 placed on the carry-in rail 8 and the L-shaped piece 33 engaged with the travel guide 8a, as shown in FIG. It is stored in

Next, the operation of supplying the storage bodies 30 housed in the tower body 1 into the building will be explained.

The operator operates the control unit 52 installed indoors, selects the storage body 30 to be supplied, and presses the start button.

As a result, the lifting platform 11 rises within the transfer space 2,
When it reaches the storage section 3 level, it automatically stops. Then, the lateral transfer device 20 starts and the holding roller 22
The storage body 30 is pulled out and placed on the lifting platform 11.

The lifting table 11 descends with the storage object 30 placed thereon, and supplies the storage object 30 to the outlet 5. As shown in FIG. 9, when the storage object 30 is supplied to the outlet 5, the door body 5a opens and the storage object 30 can be pulled out. Note that the storage body 30 is pulled out indoors by a lift device (not shown).

Moreover, the storage body 30 is replaced by carrying out the empty storage body 30 from the loading port 4 to the truck 60, and supplying a new storage body 30 from the loading port 4.

In addition, in this embodiment, a loading port 4 is provided on the outdoor side of the tower main body 1.
, an example is shown in which the carry-out port 5 is provided on the indoor side, but a carry-in/out port serving as both the carry-in port and the carry-out port may be formed only on the indoor side.

FIG. 10 is an external perspective view showing another embodiment of the present invention.

This shows the outdoor attached automatic warehouse of the present invention attached to the balcony of a high-rise residential building. Further, the tower main body 56 has a plurality of storage sections 3, 3 only on one side of the transfer space section 2.

A loading/unloading entrance 54 is provided for each balcony 55 on each floor, so that storage bodies 30 can be loaded and unloaded on each floor.

Note that the lifting device 10 and the lateral transfer device 20 are similar to those in the above embodiment.

FIGS. 11(a) to 11(d) are diagrams showing configuration aspects of still other embodiments.

Fig. 11(a) is a structure in which two tower bodies 1 each having storage parts 3 on both sides of a transfer space 2 are arranged in parallel to the building wall and the casing is integrated; Fig. 11(b) The tower body 1 is constructed by arranging two tower bodies 1 in parallel in the direction away from the building wall and integrating the casing. In addition, FIG. 11(c) shows
