Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention can store long and heavy objects such as molds and jigs, or long objects that are stacked such as long iron plates, and can store and store them as needed. The present invention relates to a long object storage facility adopted for use and transportation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a heavy-weight storage facility, for example, a heavy-weight storage facility shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-38162 has been provided. In this conventional configuration, a drawer that can be pulled out and pushed into the rack is provided to form a plurality of storage portions in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. Then, with the front half of the drawer being pulled out, a heavy load is delivered to the drawer by a hoist.

However, according to this conventional type, it is not easy for a worker to push in and pull out a heavy object (drawer). In addition, the heavy load (drawer) cannot be completely pulled out from the rack, and therefore the hoist is required to be acted from diagonally above, requiring manual work by an operator, and the manual work is dangerous.

[0004] In contrast, there is considered a structure in which an elevating body is provided on the front side of the rack, and a fork body that can be retracted and retracted from the storage section is provided on the elevating body. according to this,
By the combined operation of the ascending / descending movement of the ascending / descending body and the withdrawal / retraction of the fork, the stored object can be completely pulled out from the rack and the hoist can be acted from directly above. However, since the loading / unloading device such as the lifting body acts on the vertical row, the loading / unloading device must be arranged for each of the horizontal rows, and the whole becomes expensive.

Therefore, as seen in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-42505, a shelf having a plurality of compartment storage spaces in the vertical and horizontal directions, and a traveling device movable along the shelf in front of the shelf. It is conceivable that heavy goods will be stored by an automatic warehouse facility composed of. In this case, the traveling device has a pair of front and rear posts, and an elevating table that is guided by these posts and is capable of moving up and down is provided with a load transfer tool that can freely move in and out in the lateral direction. The traveling device is supported and guided by the floor rail, and the upper frame provided between the upper ends of both posts is guided by the ceiling rail.

[0006] When such a conventional automatic warehouse type is adopted for storing a long object, a traveling device can be used to use a common load handing tool for the left and right rows of the partitioned storage space. Since the traveling device is guided by the floor rails and the ceiling rails, it can be inexpensive and can be safely taken in and out and can be run safely.

[0007]

However, according to the above-mentioned automatic warehouse type, the ceiling rail and the upper frame located directly above the traveling device interfere with each other, and the cargo delivery is retreated into the elevator. The overhead crane cannot act on the fixture from directly above. For this purpose, it is possible to use a loading / unloading area provided on the outside of the end of the shelf and open at the upper side, but in this case, a cycle such as the traveling movement of the traveling device is involved and efficient work is performed. Can not be done.

[0008] Also, by removing one of the shelves arranged side by side and causing the load transfer tool to project toward this deletion side, it is possible to operate the overhead crane from directly above while avoiding the ceiling rail and upper frame. Since it is necessary to secure a working space (dead space) over the entire length of the shelf, the whole cannot be economically installed. Further, it is not possible to easily and easily hook the wire on the overhead crane side with respect to a long object because the load transfer tool interferes with it.

The object of the present invention is to allow the overhead crane to work easily and directly from directly above without securing a dead space, while allowing the loading / unloading work and traveling to be performed safely without causing rolling. The point is to provide a facility for storing long objects.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, a long object storage facility of the present invention comprises a shelf having a plurality of storage spaces in the horizontal direction, and a front and rear shelf which is movable in and out along the shelf. A storage facility having a device, in which the loading / unloading device is supported and guided by a floor rail, a plurality of front and rear posts standing upright from this device, and each post being guided to be vertically movable and in the left-right direction. A plurality of carriages each having a retractable and retractable device and an upper frame that is connected from above the posts so as to be located above the shelf,
An upper rail for supporting and guiding the upper frame is provided on the shelf side.

[0011]

According to the structure of the present invention, the desired storage space is obtained by the combined operation of the traveling movement of the machine body, the synchronized vertical movement of each carriage, and the synchronized horizontal movement of each loading / unloading tool. You can put in and take out long objects. At this time, since the machine body is supported and guided by the floor rails and the upper frame is guided by the upper rails, the loading / unloading device can perform the loading / unloading work and traveling without causing lateral rolling.

By connecting the upper frame continuously from the upper part of the post to the upper part of the shelf, the upper part of the carriage can be completely opened, and therefore, the overhead crane can be properly installed between the loading / unloading tools retracted in the carriage. Can act from above.
At this time, since the long object is supported at both ends in the length direction by a pair of loading and unloading tools and the middle part is not supported and is opened in the entire circumferential direction, the wire on the overhead crane side with respect to the long object is The hanging can be easily and easily performed without being disturbed by the access tool.
