[0006]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, according to the above-mentioned conventional example, each cable 29 only has a label 28 affixed to its terminal with the cable number written on the construction drawing. If there is no drawing for
Since the cables 29 cannot be laid and it is unclear which devices the cables are connected to or which areas the cables belong to, there is a problem in that it is difficult to sort and distribute the cables 29 at the site where they are delivered.

[0007] The present invention solves the above problems, and
The purpose is to provide cables for cargo handling equipment that improve the efficiency of on-site sorting and food distribution.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the cable of the cargo handling equipment of the present invention is a cable that electrically connects each device constituting the cargo handling equipment, and is a cable that electrically connects each device constituting the cargo handling equipment, This feature is added to the terminal.

[0009]

[Operation] According to the above structure, the on-site distribution information of the terminals added to the cables facilitates the sorting and distribution of cables on-site, thereby increasing efficiency.

0010

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the configuration of the equipment of the cargo handling facility is the same as the configuration of the conventional example shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, so the same reference numerals are given and the explanation will be omitted.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a cable terminal portion of a cargo handling facility according to an embodiment of the present invention. A label 31 on which on-site distribution information of the cable 29 is formed is attached to the terminal of the cable 29 of the cargo handling equipment of the present invention, and the outside thereof is covered with a transparent tube 32.

[0012] The catering information includes alphabetical characters identifying the cable for each model as indicated by the dashed frame in the construction drawing in Fig. 2, the number of floors of the building where the cable 29 is installed, and a unique number for the equipment. , the length of the cable 29 (unit: m)
). The alphabetic characters specifying the model types are Y for the automated warehouse 8, B for the conveyor devices 12, 14, and 16, G for the self-propelled carrier 10, and O for other devices.

[0013]Cable 29 distribution information “Y-” shown in FIG.
1F-10-60", the (Y) model is automated warehouse 8, and (
1F) Used on the first floor of the building, (10) Serial number is "1"
The number 0'' (60) indicates that the cable length is 60 m.

[0014] In this way, by adding the label 31 containing the on-site distribution information of the cable 29 to the terminal of the cable 29, the equipment to be connected can be specified, and the floor where the cable will be laid at the on-site location can be specified. Sorting and serving can be done easily. Therefore, on-site construction time can be shortened and costs can be reduced.

Furthermore, at the factory, the delivered cable is assembled, that is, terminals 3 are attached to both ends of the cable wire 29A.
0, by attaching a label 31 with on-site cable 29 distribution information to the cable 29 cut according to the cable length and having the cable 29 delivered, the label 31 can be attached with alphabetical characters identifying the model type. It becomes easier to arrange each device in the assembly area, and work efficiency can be improved. Furthermore, by transporting the cables together with each manufactured device, the destination of the cables 29 will not become unclear, and mistakes in food distribution can be eliminated.

Note that in this embodiment, the cable 29
A label 31 with on-site catering information for the cable 29 is pasted on the terminal of the cable 29, but as shown in FIG. A formed label 33 may be attached. Scan this barcode locally using a barcode reader 34.
By reading the information and displaying it on the screen, you can similarly identify the equipment to be connected and the floor to be installed on-site, making it easier to sort and serve food on-site. Although a barcode is used as the code, other codes such as Carla code, etc. can be used instead of the barcode.
You may use numbers, letters, etc.

[0017]

[Effects of the Invention] According to the above configuration of the present invention, the on-site arrangement information of the terminal added to the cable makes it easy to sort and arrange the cables on-site, improving efficiency and reducing on-site construction time. It is possible to reduce costs.
