Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a picking lift basket used for picking up and transporting necessary articles from a rack of a warehouse in which various articles are three-dimensionally stored.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a required article is taken out from a rack that stores articles (commodities) mainly in a distribution center or the like, a pallet is supported by a fork of a forklift, and the article is loaded and unloaded on the pallet. , Carry it to a specified place and load it on a truck, or place it on a carrier called a basket car in which fences are erected on three sides of the bogie and carry it to the specified place. Has been done.

[0003]

However, in the case of loading and unloading articles by the pallet, the width of the passage between the racks of the warehouse is very narrow, and it is not easy to load the articles. However, there is a problem that the work efficiency is low because there is a problem that the load collapses and the safety is low.

Further, even if the conventional basket car is used, it is difficult to load the articles from the rack because it is surrounded by fences on three sides. Therefore, the loading and unloading using the basket car has not been practically used. In other words, the picking forks that are widely used nowadays are used on the ground or in the air (the first stage of the rack is the ground level, the second and higher stages are the air) when the worker rides on the workbench connected to the fork supporting the pallet. It is used for taking out or storing items from the rack, but the work range is limited due to safety standards, so even when using a picking basket car, work is done with the basket car close to the safety fence on the picking fork side. Therefore, it has been very difficult to secure the cargo handling work and the work safety with the conventional basket car.

[0005]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention is for a picking lift in which articles can be loaded directly into a basket car by using a forklift (picking lift), and can be transported as it is and then loaded onto a truck or the like. The purpose was to provide a basket car, and as a means for solving the problem, a movable carriage, a rear fence standing upright on the back of this carriage, and the left and right sides of this rear fence. A side fixed fence which is continuously provided and is erected in a range up to an intermediate position on both sides of the trolley, and a side which is connected to the side fixed fence so as to be capable of being folded back outward and which closes or opens the front half of both sides of the trolley. It consists of a movable fence.

It is preferable that a fixed wall, which is fixed to the carriage and has a low height, is provided below the side movable fence in order to prevent the articles from falling off. Further, it is preferable to provide a fixing means for fixing the movement of the side movable fence at the open / close position, since the work can be performed in a stable state of the side movable fence.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

Picking lift car 1 according to the present invention
Is provided with a rear rail 4 fixedly standing on the rear portion of a carriage 3 having wheels 2 and 2 (either front or rear is a caster) and capable of being supported by a fork of a forklift, and covering the entire lateral width of the carriage 3. Side fixing rails 5, 5 fixedly installed up to the intermediate position on both sides of the bogie 3 are integrally connected to both sides of the carriage 4 by connecting tools 6, 6 ,. The structure has a letter-shaped fence.

A trolley 3 is provided in front of the side fixed fences 5 and 5.
Side movable fences 7, 7 that open or close the first half of both sides of the
Are hinged by hinges 8 so that they can be folded back to the outside of the side fixed fences 5, 5.

Fixed walls 9 and 9 made of a plate material or a frame material having a height of about 100 to 200 mm are erected on both sides of the carriage 3 in the range where the side movable fences 7 and 7 are provided. Thus, when articles are loaded on the trolley 3, the trolley 3 is prevented from falling off to the side.

The rear fence 4, the side fixed fences 5, 5 and the side movable fences 7, 7 are all gate-shaped frames 4a, 5a, 7
a and a plurality of vertical bars 4b, 5b, which are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction.
7b, and a plurality of horizontal boards 4c, 5c, 7c. However, this structure may have an appropriate structure.

The side movable fences 7 and 7 are provided with fixing means for fixing them in the open / closed position.
For this fixing means, for example, one of the vertical rods 7b of the side movable fence 7 can be moved up and down, and its lower end is fixed to the fixing hole 10 on the side of the carriage 3 so that it cannot be opened and closed. . In addition, when folded back, it may be fixed to the side fixing fence 5 by using a clamp-shaped fixing tool.
