Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic warehouse used for storing empty barrels and the like. In particular, the present invention relates to an automated warehouse that is easy to put in and take out and has excellent storage efficiency.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an example, a free flow utilizing gravity.
There is a rack. This is because the load is sent by gravity on the slanted rack, but there was a problem in that the load collided at the time of loading, it was impossible to take out due to friction at the time of shipping, or the load was cut out one by one at the time of shipping.

Further, if the storage amount is increased, the number of shelves to which the free conveyors are attached increases, which leads to a significant increase in the building cost due to the increase in the weight of the shelves.

Further, there is a problem that a stacker crane is required for loading and unloading.

[0005]

In view of the problems of the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic warehouse which can improve storage efficiency, can be easily put in and taken out, and can be put out first in advance.

A support shelf 6 having a plurality of square openings 8 through which a load such as a barrel 1 placed on a square pallet 2 can pass vertically, and a support shelf 6 below the support shelf 6. And a transverse carriage 7 that can travel in a direction orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the openings 8 of the support shelf 6, and can travel on the transverse carriage 7 in the arrangement direction of the openings 8, and the lifter 4 on the upper part and the lifter. It is composed of a trolley 3 provided with a rotary table 5 so that a plurality of stages can be stacked on each luggage. Since it is directly stacked in multiple stages, the opening 8
A load collapse prevention cylinder 9 having a diameter larger than the diagonal line is placed around the opening 8 of the support shelf 6 to prevent the load collapse of stacked loads. In addition, two support beams 1 that are parallel to the support shelf
3 and 13, the distance a between these support beams is larger than the width w of the rectangular parallelepiped-shaped luggage (w <a) and smaller than the length L of the luggage (L>).
a), so that it is suitable for storing a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped cardboard or the like.

Example 1 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an automated warehouse of barrels 1 of the same size. The barrel 1 is placed on a square pallet 2 and, for example, 5 is placed on a square opening 8 provided on the support shelf 6.
~ Stacked in 6 levels. The barrel 1 shown in the figure is stacked on the pallet 2 and stacked, but it is also possible to directly stack the products in the stacked ball box or the like.

In FIG. 1, the lowermost pallet 2 of the support shelf 6 is supported by being rotated by 45 ° with respect to the opening 8 (FIG. 3). 3 (a) is a conventional two-way pallet, FIG. 3 (b)
Is a pallet exclusively for barrels. In the figure, numeral 11 is a digit of the pallet 2.

Reference numeral 9 indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1 is a protective cylinder formed of vinyl chloride or the like, which can prevent collapse of barrels stacked on the opening 8 or the like. ..

Reference numeral 7 denotes a traverse carriage, which can horizontally traverse a lower portion of the support shelf 6 in a direction orthogonal to the support shelf 6 and on which the carriage 3 on which the pallet 2 is placed can move. The dolly 3 is provided with a lifter 4 having a rotation table 5 on the upper surface thereof, whereby the barrel 1 on the pallet 2 can be moved up and down and rotated.

The carriage 3 can select the openings 8 arranged on the traveling path by traveling linearly. Further, the carriage 3 can be moved to another row of the support shelves 6 by mounting it on the traverse carriage 7. The trolley 3 and the traverse trolley 7 are positioned at the center of the pallet 2 or the dumbo with respect to the opening 8 of the upper support shelf 6.
The traveling is controlled so that the centers of the lanes coincide with each other.

The lifter 4 has the ability to move a load up and down, for example, up to 6 steps. When the lifter 4 is folded, the load can be loaded and the carriage 3 can freely run under the support shelf 6. The upper limit of the lifter 4 is such that the lower surface of the pallet 2 is located slightly above the upper portion of the support shelf 6 and the rotary taper can be rotated even when loaded with up to 6 levels.
Bull 5 can rotate.

FIG. 2 shows a series of operations for loading and unloading. (Incoming) The loaded cart 3 stops under the opening 8. The lifter 4 moves up and lifts a load already on the support shelf together with the pallet 2. When the lowermost load exceeds the support shelf 6, the rotary table 5 rotates 45 ° (as shown in FIG. 3B). The lifter 4 descends and the load is stored on the support shelf 6. The dolly 3 returns to the warehousing entrance for the next warehousing operation.

(Outgoing) The empty carriage 3 stops below the opening 8. The lifter 4 rises and lifts all loads. The lifter 4 is rotated by 45 ° (in the opposite direction when the goods are stored), and the square opening 8 and the pallet 2 at the lowermost stage are aligned with each other so that they can pass through. The lifter 4 descends. At this time, since the pallet 2 for the uppermost load on the lowermost stage is displaced from the opening 8 by 45 ° as shown in FIG. 3, the pallet 2 is caught on the support shelf 6 while descending, and only the lowermost load is placed on the trolley 3. .. The dolly 3 runs to the exit.

[0015]

[Embodiment 2] FIG. 4 shows an example of an automatic warehouse of a rectangular parallelepiped dumbbell 12. The width 12 and the length L ≠ w of the dumbbell 12
Is. This difference is used.

In the case of the barrel 1, a square opening 8 is formed in the support shelf 6 for supporting the square pallet 2 on which the barrel 1 is placed.
Was equipped with. On the other hand, in the case of a dumbbell, two parallel support beams 13 are used, and the trolley 3 is provided below the support beam 13.
Is configured to travel in the direction.

Since the width w of the damper 12 is smaller than the distance a between the supporting beams 13, when the lifter 4 raises the damper 12 as shown in FIG. After passing and passing, the rotary table 5 rotates 90 ° to lay down the dan-ball 12, and then the lifter 4 is lowered and placed on the support beams 13, 13.

With this structure, it is not necessary to provide the opening 8 in the support shelf 6 as in the first embodiment.

[0019]

[Effect] An opening through which a pallet can be passed is provided in the support shelf of the load, or a load can be passed between two parallel support beams, and a lifter and a rotary table are attached to the lower part of the support shelf or the support beam. A traveling carriage equipped with a moving carriage was provided.

Since this is done, the storage efficiency is further improved because it is directly stacked on each opening or on the support beam. In particular, even if the height of the load changes like an empty barrel, if the pallet has the same size, many low loads can be stored. You can get in and out with certainty with simple operation. The shape of the shelves or beams is simple and easy to construct, which is advantageous in terms of cost.
