DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a distribution facility attached to a freight distribution center, a supermarket, a department store, a convenience store, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a freight distribution center,
Goods collected from rural areas through multiple long-haul trucks are sorted into smaller areas and transferred to multiple trucks for regional delivery waiting at each sorter, or vice versa. It has terminal functions such as transferring cargo collected from one area to another area.

The general structure of this cargo distribution center is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-25406. FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional structure of the distribution center.
A platform-like cargo handling place 3 raised one step from the road surface 2 is formed on the first floor portion, and the leading end of the cargo handling place 3 is set as a delivery parking lot 4 continuous with the road surface 2 so that the passenger can enter from the road surface 2 in a retreating posture. The delivery truck 5 is parked in a parking lot, placed sideways on the cargo handling place 3, and cargo is taken in and out of the rear opening of the truck 5. In this structure, a parking space 4 and a cargo handling space 3 for a plurality of trucks 5 are secured in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface.

[0004] Large-scale supermarkets, department stores, convenience stores, and the like are also provided with this type of collection and delivery equipment behind the store.

[0005]

However, the above structure requires a large parking lot site for the number of trucks 5 to be parked and including a standby for replacement. Particularly in a city center or the like, it is necessary to secure land. When there were difficulties and parking was not enough, people had to wait on the street, causing traffic congestion.

Further, since the truck 5 is placed sideways, the engine exhausts due to operations such as turning and moving backward, and idling operation while waiting for replacement, and the like, so that the problem of air pollution in the surroundings has arisen.

[0007] In order to secure a site, in the case of constructing a collection and delivery place in an underground part, exhaust gas ventilation processing equipment and purification equipment are required. Particularly, in the case of trucks, diesel fuel is used. As a result, the underground environment deteriorates extremely and a space for turning must be secured, so that the area efficiency is low and it is not practical.

The present invention solves the above problems,
The purpose is to set up a pickup and delivery place on a floor other than the floor where the building enters, eliminating the problem of securing the land and automatically moving, picking up and delivering the delivery truck with the engine stopped. To provide logistics facilities.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a cargo handling area constructed on a floor other than a floor where a truck enters a building, and a waiting area constructed opposite to the cargo handling area. A berth, a lifter at an intermediate position between the cargo handling area and the standby berth, the lifter moving up and down between the loading / unloading berth and the cargo handling area floor on the truck loading floor, and loaded on the lifter, And a plurality of transport trucks for loading trucks, which are guided so as to be able to reciprocate between the cargo handling area and the standby berth on the loading floor.

Therefore, in the logistics facility of the present invention, after stopping at the stop position of the floor where the truck enters, the truck can be automatically delivered to the cargo handling place by the lifter and the transfer cart. It can be stored in a waiting berth opposite the cargo handling area. Therefore, cargo can be delivered while the engine is turned off at the stop position, thereby preventing surrounding pollution due to generation of exhaust gas and the like.

In the present invention, a plurality of the standby berths are arranged in a row in a row with respect to the cargo handling area, and the lift berth is guided so as to be able to move in the lateral direction on the cargo handling area floor. By adopting it, one lifter can handle multiple cargo handling berths and standby berths, and at the upper part, that is, on the entry floor, the entrance and exit berth can be used exclusively for entrance or exit, eliminating confusion in traffic lines. Truck congestion can be reduced.

[0012]

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1
Reference numeral 2 denotes a distribution facility of the present invention. In the figure, a reception opening 11 that can receive one truck 5 is opened on one side of the ground floor of a building 10.

A reception monitoring station 1 is located in front of the reception port 11.
2, a gate 13, and a turntable 14 buried on the road surface are arranged, received at the monitoring station 12, and
When the truck 5 that has passed through 3 stops on the turntable 14, the turntable 14 rotates 180 degrees, and the truck 5 is set to the retreat posture.

A part of the floor of the receiving opening 11 which is continuous with the road surface 2 forms an opening 15 for the shaft tunnel, and this opening 15 communicates with the basement floor B.

On the basement floor B, a cargo handling area 16 and a plurality of cargo handling berths 17 for laying sideways on the cargo handling area 16 are provided.
And a plurality of standby berths 18 facing the cargo handling berth 17 are constructed.

The cargo handling area 16 is provided with additional facilities such as a cargo lift 16a for collecting and delivering cargo in the building and a primary storage area 16b.

Also, a berth 17 for handling and a berth 1 for standby
A lower traveling path 19 is constructed at a position one step lower than that between the upper and lower sections 8, and one end of the traveling path 19 is opposed to the opening 15 in the ground portion. A rail 20 is disposed at the bottom of the traveling path 19, and a lift truck 21 is disposed on the rail 20 so as to be able to travel.

The lift truck 21 is mounted on an installation table 23 via a lifter 22 having, for example, a pantograph type telescopic mechanism at the upper part.
The mounting table 23 has a pair of rails 2 provided on the floor surfaces of the berths 17 and 18, respectively.
4 are arranged.

On the rails 24 and 25, a plurality of transport vehicles 26 on which the truck 5 is loaded are arranged. The number of the transport trolleys 26 is the same as the number of the standby berths 18, and together with the lift trolleys 21 and the lifters 22,
An electric vehicle driven by computer control,
The empty trolley 26 always stands by at the standby berth 18, and when it is confirmed that the truck 5 has entered the ground, the installation trolley 23 is set.
The lift truck 21 moves upward, and in a state where it is stopped, moves to a position immediately below the opening 15 by the movement of the lift truck 21, and then the lifter 22 is driven to rise, so that the upper surface of the truck 26 coincides with the opening 15 on the ground surface. The elevator 20 stops in the state.

Therefore, the truck 5 is backed up in this state, and the truck 5 is put on the trolley 26. Thereafter, the engine is stopped and the cargo handling area 16 on the basement B is automatically turned off.
The truck 26 is transported together with the truck 26 or
Is full, the berth 18 is moved to the waiting berth 18 where it can be made to stand by. At the time of departure, the operation of sending the truck 5 to the ground surface is automatically performed in the reverse procedure.

Reference numeral 27 in the figure denotes an upside down safety fence disposed between the cargo handling berth 17, the standby berth 18 and the traveling path 19, and at the periphery of the opening 15 on the ground surface. It is an electric forklift that runs on the cargo handling area 16.

FIG. 3 shows a general processing procedure in the above configuration in the form of a flow chart for information processing.
