[0011]

【Example】

An embodiment of the exit indicator of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

0012 In Figures 2 and 3, 1 is a shelf, and this shelf 1 is used to assemble steel materials 2 vertically, horizontally, frontward, and back. A large number of storage sections 3 are formed in multiple rows in the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0013] Each storage section 3 is long in the front-rear direction and has an open front and rear surface, and the front surface is used for storing items W. The take-out port 4 and the rear side serve as a replenishment port for the article W.

[0014] The lower surface of each of the storage sections 3 is provided with a wall that slopes downward toward the front instead of a shelf board. A roller conveyor (not shown) is provided, and this roller conveyor moves the storage section. 3 so that the item W placed in the refill port on the rear side of the storage section 3 moves to the removal port 4 on the front side of the storage section 3. It has become.

[0015] In addition, the above-mentioned items W are stored in each of the above-mentioned storage sections 3 in a boxed state. ing.

[0016] In addition, the front surface of the steel material 2a in the horizontal direction that divides the front surface of the shelf 1 into multiple stages in the vertical direction. A large number of exit indicators 10 are provided. Each of these exit indicators 10 is connected to each storage section 3 mentioned above. They are provided directly above the outlet 4 of each storage section 3 in a one-to-one relationship.

[0017] Note that a conveyor 7 is arranged along the front part of the shelf 1.

[0018] Each of the above-mentioned exit indicators 10 is a rectangular box made of synthetic resin, as shown in FIG. It has a shaped container 11, and in the center of the front of this container 11 there is a quantity table consisting of a fluorescent display tube, etc. A display section 12 is provided, and display lamps 13 are provided on both sides of the quantity display section 12. An end button 14 is provided in a protruding state on the front surface of the container body 11, and a button 14 is provided on the bottom surface of the container body 11. A light projection lamp 15 is provided as a light projection section.

[0019] As shown in FIG. Based on the input operation of the delivery instruction operation unit 21 consisting of a computer, etc. It is controlled by the control unit 22, and when activated, the indicator lamp 13 and the As the light lamp 15 lights up, the quantity display section 12 displays a number digitally, and the The floodlight lamp 15 emits a thin spot-like beam L such as a laser beam from the outlet directly below. It is designed to irradiate at 4.

[0020] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

[0021] Items W are stored by type in multiple storage areas 3 of the shelf 1, and which storage area 3 contains which items. Whether or not the article W has been stored is registered in the control unit 22 by the unloading instruction operation unit 21.

[0022] If there is a shipping instruction for the item W, the content of this shipping instruction is The data is input to the control unit 22 by the processing unit 21.

[0023] Then, the box B is conveyed to the front part of the shelf 1 by the conveyor 7, and the box B is transferred to the front part of the shelf 1 by the conveyor 7. The goods W that have been instructed to leave the warehouse are stored by stopping or using a stopper (not shown), etc. The vehicle stopped at the front of the storage section 3, and along with this, the item W that was instructed to be taken out was stored. The exit indicator 10 directly above the exit port 4 of the storage section 3 is activated by the control section 22, and the switch is activated. The display lamp 13 and the floodlight lamp 15 are turned on by the light emission control unit 23 consisting of Instructs to take out the object W, and the quantity display unit 12 displays the quantity to be taken out in numbers. do.

[0024] Then, based on the instructions from this exit indicator 10, the worker selects the designated exit port 4. Take out the displayed quantity of items W from , put them in box B on the conveyor 7, and When the removal is completed, press the end button 14 of the exit indicator 10.

[0025] Then, a signal is sent from the unloading indicator 10 to the control unit 22 to inform the controller 22 that the retrieval of the item W has been completed. At the same time, the indicator lamp 13 and the floodlight lamp are At the same time as the lamp 15 goes out, the quantity display on the quantity display section 12 is cleared.

[0026] At this time, the operator must check that the display lamp 13 of the exit indicator 10 is protruding from the front of the container 11. Therefore, even if you are located a little far away, you can be sure that you will be aware of the delivery instructions. Then, when the worker approaches this exit indicator 10, the output indicator 10 lights up. Items at outlet 4 where lamp 15 emits a thin spot-like light beam L such as a laser beam. Since the beam W is irradiated, the designated item W can be reliably taken out.

[0027] Therefore, the item W is taken out by mistake from the storage section 3 adjacent to the top and bottom or the left and right. No work errors will occur.

[0028] Then, the items W from each storage section 3 specified within the predetermined area where the box B stopped. When the unloading is completed, all exit buttons 14 of the unloading indicators 10 activated in this area are pressed. Then, the box B is transported to the next area by the conveyor 7, and in the same manner as above, In the next area, goods W are delivered.

[0029]

[Effect of the idea]

As mentioned above, the unloading indicator of the present invention has a quantity display section that corresponds to the unloading port. In addition to displaying the quantity of items to be removed from the This will prevent you from accidentally taking out items from the storage compartments adjacent to each other on the top and bottom or on the left and right. It is possible to prevent operational errors.
