Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to shelving equipment installed in a narrow space in a warehouse, for example.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, as shown in Utility Model Application Laid-open No. 61-132303 and shown in FIG. 22, and these movable shelves 22 are provided with a traveling drive device linked to the traveling wheels, and a control device 23 is provided on the side of each movable shelf 22.
A configuration with . The control device 2
3, the outer surface side is the operation surface 23a, and this operation surface 2
Repairs and other operations are being performed opposite 3a. Such shelving equipment is installed in the corner of the warehouse, for example, on the wall 24.
The control device 23 is installed near the control device 23 in order to prevent a forklift truck for work from colliding with the control device 23 and damaging the control device 23.
are placed facing the wall 24.

Problems to be solved by the invention According to the above conventional type, the movable shelf 22 and the wall 24
A work space 25 is required for the operator to operate while facing the operation surface 23a, and this large dead space reduces the area used, which is part of the greatest advantage of the shelving equipment. It will be damaged.

An object of the present invention is to provide a shelving facility that can minimize dead space while allowing easy operation of the control device.

Means for solving the problems In order to achieve the above purpose, the shelving equipment of the present invention has the following features:
A shelf comprising a movable shelf that can freely travel back and forth on a fixed path via traveling wheels, one side of which is placed opposite to another object, and the movable shelf is provided with a traveling drive device that is linked to the traveling wheels. In the equipment, a control device is provided on one side of the movable shelf so as to be movable between a position protruding from the front surface of the movable shelf and a position contained within the front surface, and a control device is provided on the side opposite to the other object as an operation surface. It is said that

According to the configuration of the present invention, when operating the control device, first the movable shelf is moved to create a space (normal work space), and then the operator in the space moves (draws out) the control device. and protrude from the front of the movable shelf. This causes the operating surface of the control device to face away from other objects within the space, so that the operator can perform operations from within the space.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a pair of front and rear fixed shelves, and between these fixed shelves 1, a plurality of movable shelves 2 that can freely move back and forth in the direction between the fixed shelves are arranged. Each shelf 1, 2 has a plurality of divided storage spaces 3 in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction.
Each movable shelf 2 is placed on a rail 4 provided on the floor side via running wheels 5, and by interlocking the mounted motor (traveling drive device) 6 with the running wheels 5, it can be moved along a fixed path 7. Each can be freely traveled back and forth. These shelves 1 and 2 groups have one side 1a and 2
A is arranged so as to face a wall (an example of another object) 8. A control device 9 is mounted on one side 2a of each movable shelf 2.
is movably provided between a position protruding from the front surface 2b of the movable shelf 2 and a position contained within the front surface 2b, and the surface opposite to the wall 8 is provided as an operation surface 9a.
It is said that That is, the control device 9 is box-shaped, and has sliding rails 10 attached to its upper and lower surfaces along a fixed path 7, and a guide rail 11 that supports and guides both sliding rails 10.
A pair of upper and lower brackets are provided on one side 2a with a bracket 12 interposed therebetween. Each of the shelves 1 and 2 is provided with a detection device (such as a phototube type) 13 in the traveling direction, and these detection devices 13 and the motor 6 are connected to a control device 9.

According to the embodiment described above, one or more movable shelves 2 are moved by rotating the traveling wheels 5 in forward and reverse directions by the motor 6, thereby forming the work space 14 at a desired location. This allows loading and unloading of goods to and from the shelves 1 and 2 located on both sides of the work space 14 using a forklift vehicle or the like. During normal operation, the control device 9 is located within the front surface 2b as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1 and the imaginary line in FIG.
This is maintained by frictional resistance between 1 and a stopper (not shown). When performing an operation such as repair on the control device 9, the movable shelf 2 is first moved to form the aforementioned work space 14. Then, the worker who has entered the work space 14 pulls out the control device 9, and as shown in FIG.
It is made to protrude from the front surface 2b of the movable shelf 2, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 2 and the solid line in FIG. As a result, the operation surface 9a of the control device 9 can be connected to the wall 8 within the work space 14.
The operator can therefore perform operations from within the work space 14. After completing the intended operation, the control device 9 is pushed into the front surface 2b.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention having the above configuration, the control device can be easily operated from inside the work space by protruding the control device from the front of the movable shelf, and therefore the shelving equipment can be operated easily from within the work space. Since one side of the device can be placed sufficiently close to other objects, dead space can be minimized.
