[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, as a three-dimensional hangar for containers installed in a container terminal on a quay, a hangar body and a plurality of transfer passages formed in the hangar body and extending in the left-right direction and arranged in parallel in the front-rear direction. A number of storage chambers formed in the hangar body, adjacent to the front and rear sides of each transfer passage, arranged in a horizontal direction and tandemly arranged in a vertical direction, and a stacker crane arranged in each transfer passage, 2. Description of the Related Art There is known a device including a carry-in / out device that carries in / out an object from / to an internal carry-in / out area opened to each transfer passage.

[0003] In such a three-dimensional hangar, a container carried into an internal carry-in / out area by a container crane and a carry-in / out device from a container ship is handled by a stacker crane in a storage room selected, and stored in the main body of the hangar. I do. Further, the containers stored in the storage room are handled by the stacker crane to the internal carry-in / out area, and are loaded on the container ship by the carry-in / out device and the container crane. The stacker crane is composed of a traveling body that travels in a transfer passage in the left-right direction and a delivery body that is supported by the traveling body so as to be able to move up and down. It is brought to the position corresponding to the selected internal loading / unloading area or the storage room, and by expanding and contracting the delivery section provided on the delivery body, the container is placed on the delivery section and the transfer area and the internal loading / unloading section. It is transferred between the area and the storage room.

[0004]

In recent years, along with an increase in container handling volume at container terminals, the main body of the hangar has become longer and longer in the left-right direction and has a higher floor. There is a tendency to increase the number of storage rooms installed as much as possible. That is, the number of parallel storage rooms in the horizontal direction and the number of columns in the vertical direction are increased.

[0005] Therefore, the number of storage rooms that one stacker crane handles increases, and the traveling range of the traveling body for transferring containers between the storage room and the internal carry-in / out area and the elevating range of the delivery body become extremely large. Therefore, the time required to handle one container between the storage room and the internal carry-in / out area becomes long.

On the other hand, traveling of the traveling body and lifting / lowering of the delivery body in the stacker crane cannot be accelerated to a certain speed or more due to a demand for safely handling the container.

As a result, the delivery of the container from the internal carry-in / out area to the stacker crane or the delivery of the carry-out container from the storage room to the stacker crane is not efficiently performed. Has not been able to be performed efficiently. In addition, container cranes have recently tended to increase the container transfer speed in order to improve cargo handling efficiency. It's virtually hopeless.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and can greatly improve the handling efficiency between a storage room by a stacker crane and an internal carry-in / out area, and can be used to mount a container or the like to a main body of a storage room. It is an object of the present invention to provide a three-dimensional hangar capable of efficiently carrying in and out work.

It is sighing.

The telescopic frame 53 is moved by a suitable telescopic operation mechanism (not shown) such as a cylinder.
4 is located at the same height as the lower surface of the container C suspended from the cargo handling devices 43 and 44 at the highest position (position shown in FIG. 13), and the lower surface of the container delivery body 54 is located at It is configured to be able to ascend and descend over the nearest lowermost position (positions (I) and (J) in FIG. 15). Note that a container delivery body 54 is provided at the lower end of the telescopic frame 53.
Is formed on the upper surface side of the container passage through which the container C can pass through the telescopic frame 53 in the front-rear direction.

Further, the container delivery body 54 is configured to be able to support the lower surface of the container C, and is protruded and retracted from the telescopic frame 53 to the sea side (front side) and the land side (rear side). The container C can be transferred between the cargo handling devices 43 and 44 via the container passage of the telescopic frame 53. That is, the container delivery body 54 is immersed in the immersion position (position (FIG. 14B)) immersed in the telescopic frame 53, and the first projection position (position (A) in FIG. 14A) that projects horizontally forward from the immersion position. The second projecting horizontally from the position to the rear
It is configured to extend and contract in the front-rear direction over the rush position (the position (C) in FIG. 3). Therefore, in a state where the container delivery device 45 is closest to the first cargo handling device 43, the container C is extended by extending the container delivery body 54 from the immersion position to the first projection position or the second projection position. It can be delivered between the first spreader 48 or the second spreader 51 and the container delivery body 54 (FIGS. 14A and 14C), and the container delivery body 54 supporting the container C is reduced to the first projecting position. Alternatively, the container C may be retracted from the second protruding position to the retracted position, thereby withdrawing the container C from the elevating area of the first spreader 48 or the second spreader 51, and waiting for storage in the container passage of the telescopic frame 53. (FIG. 7B). Also,
The container delivery body 54 is moved up and down by expanding and contracting the telescopic frame 53 so that the container C can be transferred to and from the first or second spreader 48 or 51 located at the highest position. The container is moved up and down between the position shown in FIG. 15A and the lowest position (position shown in FIG. 15I) near the mouth of the container ship S.

According to the container crane 4 serving as the sea-side cargo handling device configured as described above, the cargo handling operation between the container ship S and the land-side loading / unloading area 10a can be efficiently performed.

That is, when unloading from the container ship S, the first cargo handling device 43 is _first traversed immediately above the container C ₁ to be unloaded, and the container delivery device 45 is moved to the first cargo handling device 43. 15 (A) (solid line in FIG. 15A), and lowers the first spreader 48 to suspend the container C (chain line in FIG. 15A). At this time, the container delivery body 54 of the container delivery device 45 is immersed in an immersion position that does not hinder the lowering of the first spreader 48.

Then, the first spreader 48 is raised to raise the suspended container C ₁ to a height corresponding to the upper surface of the container delivery body 54, and then the container delivery body 54 is projected to the first projecting position. Te, which in receiving the container C ₁ (FIG. 15 (B)). That is, by detaching the first spreader 48 from the container C ₁ (separating the twist lock pin from the container C ₁ ),
The container C ₁ is transferred from the first spreader 48 to the container transfer body 54.

Next, by immersion container delivery member 54 to the retracted position to leave the container C ₁ from the lifting area of the first spreader 48 (FIG. 15 (C) solid line), further a container delivery member 54 second projecting position It is projected to, and passes the container C ₁ in the second spreader 51 of the second handling unit 44 (FIG chain line).

After that, the second spreader 51 that has received the container C ₁ from the container delivery body 54 traverses backward, and moves the container C ₁ on one of the first horizontal traveling paths 20. 3 (Fig. 2)
It traverses forward again and returns to a position where it is possible to receive containers from the container delivery body 54.

In the meantime, although the second spreader 51 is ready to start delivering the container to the transfer trolley 3, the second spreader 51 moves to the container receiving position which is directly below the second spreader 51 on the first horizontal traveling path 20. When there is no empty transfer truck 3 or when there is a transfer truck 3 that has previously received the container C at the container receiving position, it is necessary to stop the container delivery by the second spreader 51, The cargo handling efficiency of the container crane 4 decreases. However, since the transport vehicles 3 are circulating through the first vehicle circulation path 2, empty transport vehicles 3 are sequentially supplied to the container receiving position of the first horizontal travel path 20, and the container C Is immediately removed from the container receiving position and travels from the first horizontal traveling path 20 to the second horizontal traveling path 21. Therefore, there is a container receiving position on each of the pair of first horizontal traveling paths 20 and 20, which can be arbitrarily selected.
The container can be delivered quickly and smoothly without any loss time, and the cargo handling efficiency of the container crane 4 is improved.

Further, the first horizontal traveling path 20 is
0 have been elevated placed on, the required since the vertical distance between the movable carriage 3 and girder 42a on the first horizontal runway 20 is reduced, and passes the container C ₁ in the transport carriage 3 The amount of elevation of the two spreaders 51 is extremely small, and the container can be efficiently transferred from the second spreader 48 to the transfer carriage 3. Moreover, since the lifting and lowering operation of the second spreader 48 is performed by the cylinder 50 instead of the wire rope 47 as in the first spreader 48, even if the second cargo handling device 44 is traversed at a high speed, the container not C ₁ hanging支姿vigor unstable, it is not necessary to control the container position (container bracing, etc.), such as in the case of Tsu支by wire ropes. As a result, the container delivery from the second spreader 51 to the transfer trolley 3 can be performed more efficiently. In performing lifting of the second spreader 51 by wire ropes, in order to stabilize the transverse orientation of the container C ₁ (to avoid deflection of the container as much as possible), the second spreader 51 to the highest position Although it is necessary to traverse in a state of being positioned, even if in this way, the lift amount of the second spreader 51 necessary pass the movable carriage 3 containers C ₁ as described above is extremely small Although it is sufficient, the delivery of the container from the second spreader 51 to the transfer trolley 3 can be performed efficiently, though slightly inferior to the case where the cylinder 50 is used. From this, in order to improve the efficiency of the cargo handling work, the second cargo handling device 4
4 in the same manner as the first cargo handling device 43, the second spreader 51
It will be understood that the configuration in which the wire is lifted and lowered by the wire rope is not a particular problem.

On the other hand, the first spreader 48 of the first cargo handling device 43 lowers when the container C ₁ is withdrawn from the elevation area of the first spreader 48 due to the immersion of the container delivery body 54 into the immersion position. the following container C ₂ located ₁ below to Tsu支(FIG 15 (C) chain line, Fig. (D)). Subsequent, between the container transfer body 54, and similarly to the above, transfer of the container C ₂ is performed. Passing from the first spreader 48 of the container C ₂ to the container transfer member 54, the second handling device 44 which has received the previous container C ₁ is rampant returns to its original position on was containers passing to the movable carriage 3 Is done until That is, the sea-side cargo handling work (including the container delivery to the container delivery body 54) by the first spreader 48 and the land-side cargo handling work (including the container delivery from the container delivery body 54) by the second spreader 51 are performed in parallel. Will be done. In addition, the first spreader 48 does not need to traverse to transfer the container to the second spreader 51, but simply moves up and down. (Decrease in cargo handling efficiency resulting from the need to perform steady rest, etc.)
Can be eliminated, and in combination with the above, the cargo handling efficiency can be greatly improved.

In the case where the unloading of the containers C... Is not advanced in the downward direction as described above (following the container C ₁ and the container C ₂ immediately below it is unloaded), but is advanced in the front-rear direction. the second spreader 51 with the start the rampant rearward receiving the container C ₁ from the container delivery member 54, by transverse the first handling device 43 and container transfer device 45 to the rear (or front) , First
Subsequently the spreader 48 to the container C ₁ is positioned immediately level container C ₃ to be later load (FIG. 15 (E)
Solid line), to Tsu支the container C ₃ (FIG chain line). The subsequent, in the same manner as described above, the container C ₃ first
It is delivered from the spreader 48 to the second spreader 51 via the container delivery body 54, and further delivered to the transfer cart 3.

By the way, the container delivery from the first spreader 48 to the second spreader 51 via the container delivery body 54 is performed by moving the container delivery body 54 up and down to minimize the amount of elevation of both spreaders 48 and 51. It can be performed efficiently while suppressing it.

That is, the upper surface position of the container group C on the container ship S decreases with the progress of the unloading work. The vertical position of the container delivery body 54 is also lowered. That is, the container delivery body 54 is lowered to a position as close as possible to containers C..
(F)), receives a container C ₄ from the first spreader 48 (FIG. (G) solid line). And the container delivery body 54
Is immersed in the immersion position (the chain line in FIG. 15 (G)), and the second spreader 5 located at the highest position or a position close thereto
It is raised to a position that may pass the container C ₄ to 1 (FIG. 15 (H) solid lines), is projected to the second protruding position, and passes the container C ₄ to the second spreader 51 (FIG chain line). By thus elevating the container delivery body 54, if the container C ₄ to be load later is in the low position of hatch near also, from the first spreader 48 second
The amount of elevation of each of the spreaders 48 and 51 required for delivering the container to the spreader 51 can be minimized. Needless to say, since the required amount of elevation of the second spreader 51 is small, the cylinder 50 having a small stroke can be employed as the elevation operation means.

[0084] Similarly, in the case of unloading a container C ₅ that is stored in艙内container ship S, while being lowered container transfer body 54 as much as possible, for example, a container transfer body 54艙In the state of being positioned near the mouth (FIG. 15)
(I)), on the container C ₅ was passed from the first spreader 48 to the container transfer body 54 (FIG. (J) solid line), to raise the container delivery member 54, a container transfer to the second spreader 51 (See (J) chain line)
Thereby, the amount of elevation of each of the spreaders 48 and 51 can be minimized.

Further, the container delivery device 45 follows the first cargo handling device 43 and traverses, but the following is performed simultaneously as described above, or may be performed with a certain time difference depending on the cargo handling situation. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, when the unloading proceeds forward, the container C ₆ is moved from the first spreader 48 to the container delivery body 54.
(K in the figure), the first spreader 48
There traveling forward, positioned on the next container C _7, in the meantime, the container transfer member 54 is raised, performs containers pass to a second spreader 51 (FIG. (L)). Thereafter, the container delivery body 54 moves forward and descends, and moves the container C ₇ to the first spreader 4.
8 (M) in FIG.
That is, the container delivery device 45 follows the first cargo handling device 43 with a certain time lag. In addition, the following traversing is performed by extending and retracting the front and rear expansion and contraction portions of the traveling body connecting means that connects the two traveling bodies 46 and 52.

Therefore, by repeating such operations, the unloading cycle time can be greatly reduced, and the unloading operation can be performed extremely efficiently. When the containers C are loaded from the transport carts 3 on each first horizontal traveling path 20 to the container ship S, the operations can be performed efficiently in the same manner as described above by performing the operation reverse to the unloading operation. .

In the container crane 4 described above, a third cargo handling device 56 and a container delivery table 57 can be further added as shown in FIG. That is,
The third cargo handling device 56 is disposed on the rear side of the second cargo handling device 44 and can traverse the same traversing route, and has the same structure as the second cargo handling device 44. The container delivery table 57 is provided on the gantry 41 so as to be vertically movable or fixed. With this configuration, the second cargo handling device 4
4, the container delivery between the container delivery body 54 and the container delivery table 57 is performed, and the third cargo handling device 5
6, the container delivery between the container delivery table 57 and the truck 3 on the first horizontal traveling path 20 is performed, so that the required traversing amount of the second cargo handling device 44 is reduced, and the unloading from the container ship S and the container ship The efficiency of loading on S can be further increased.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the land-side cargo handling device 7 is constituted by a suspension transfer mechanism 60 which is a part of the loading / unloading device 6, and moves the rear area of the hangar body 10 in the left-right direction. Land transport equipment 8, 8 such as a traveling container transport vehicle
And a container transfer between the first land side external carry-in / out area 10b. That is, when the land transport device 8 loaded with the container C stops under any of the suspension transfer mechanisms 60, the container C is moved up and down by one of the spreaders 60c of the suspension transfer mechanism 60 to move the container C. From 8, it is carried into the transfer trolley 3 waiting under the suspension transfer mechanism 60, that is, the land side outside carry-in / out area 10 b.
Further, the container C brought to the land-side external loading / unloading area 10b by the transfer cart 3 is the land-side external loading / unloading area 10b.
b, the suspension transfer mechanism 60
It is carried out to the land transportation device 8 waiting below. Note that the second land-side external loading / unloading areas 10b,... Serve as external loading / unloading areas in which containers C are transferred to and from the internal loading / unloading areas 10a,.
Is selected, the land-side cargo handling device 7 does not function.
That is, the container transport from the land transportation device 8 to the second land-side external loading / unloading area 10c is performed by the land transportation device 8, and the container transport from the second land-side external loading / unloading area 10c to the land transportation device 8 is performed. This is because the transfer is performed by the loading / unloading device 6 that transports the container C from the internal loading / unloading area 10a to the second land side external loading / unloading area 10c, that is, the suspension transfer mechanism 60.

On the other hand, the first spreader 48 of the first cargo handling device 43 is lowered when the container C ₁ is withdrawn from the elevation area of the first spreader 48 due to the immersion of the container delivery body 54 into the immersion position. the following container C ₂ located ₁ below to Tsu支(FIG 15 (C) chain line, Fig. (D)). Subsequent, between the container transfer body 54, and similarly to the above, transfer of the container C ₂ is performed. Passing from the first spreader 48 of the container C ₂ to the container transfer member 54, the second handling device 44 which has received the previous container C ₁ is rampant returns to its original position on was containers passing to the movable carriage 3 Is done until That is, the sea-side cargo handling work (including the container delivery to the container delivery body 54) by the first spreader 48 and the land-side cargo handling work (including the container delivery from the container delivery body 54) by the second spreader 51 are performed in parallel. Will be done. In addition, the first spreader 48 does not need to traverse to transfer the container to the second spreader 51, but simply moves up and down. (Decrease in cargo handling efficiency resulting from the need to perform steady rest, etc.)
Can be eliminated, and in combination with the above, the cargo handling efficiency can be greatly improved.

In the case where the unloading of containers C... Is not advanced in the downward direction as described above (following container C ₁ and unloading container C ₂ immediately below it), but is advanced in the front-rear direction. the second spreader 51 with the start the rampant rearward receiving the container C ₁ from the container delivery member 54, by transverse the first handling device 43 and container transfer device 45 to the rear (or front) , First
Subsequently the spreader 48 to the container C ₁ is positioned immediately level container C ₃ to be later load (FIG. 15 (E)
Solid line), to Tsu支the container C ₃ (FIG chain line). The subsequent, in the same manner as described above, the container C ₃ first
It is delivered from the spreader 48 to the second spreader 51 via the container delivery body 54, and further delivered to the transfer cart 3.

By the way, the container delivery from the first spreader 48 to the second spreader 51 via the container delivery body 54 is performed by moving the container delivery body 54 up and down to minimize the amount of elevation of the two spreaders 48 and 51. It can be performed efficiently while suppressing it.

That is, as the unloading operation progresses, the upper surface position of the container group C on the container ship S decreases, and accordingly, when the container is transferred from the first spreader 48 to the container transfer body 54, The vertical position of the container delivery body 54 is also lowered. That is, the container delivery body 54 is lowered to a position as close as possible to containers C..
(F)), receives a container C ₄ from the first spreader 48 (FIG. (G) solid line). And the container delivery body 54
Is immersed in the immersion position (the chain line in FIG. 15 (G)), and the second spreader 5 located at the highest position or a position close thereto
It is raised to a position that may pass the container C ₄ to 1 (FIG. 15 (H) solid lines), is projected to the second protruding position, and passes the container C ₄ to the second spreader 51 (FIG chain line). By thus elevating the container delivery body 54, if the container C ₄ to be load later is in the low position of hatch near also, from the first spreader 48 second
The amount of elevation of each of the spreaders 48 and 51 required for delivering the container to the spreader 51 can be minimized. Needless to say, since the required amount of elevation of the second spreader 51 is small, the cylinder 50 having a small stroke can be employed as the elevation operation means.

[0093] Similarly, in the case of unloading a container C ₅ that is stored in艙内container ship S, while being lowered container transfer body 54 as much as possible, for example, a container transfer body 54艙In the state of being positioned near the mouth (FIG. 15)
(I)), on the container C ₅ was passed from the first spreader 48 to the container transfer body 54 (FIG. (J) solid line), to raise the container delivery member 54, a container transfer to the second spreader 51 (See (J) chain line)
Thereby, the amount of elevation of each of the spreaders 48 and 51 can be minimized.

The container delivery device 45 follows the first cargo handling device 43 and traverses, but the following is performed simultaneously as described above, or may be performed with a certain time difference depending on the cargo handling situation. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, when the unloading proceeds forward, the container C ₆ is moved from the first spreader 48 to the container delivery body 54.
(K in the figure), the first spreader 48
There traveling forward, positioned on the next container C _7, in the meantime, the container transfer member 54 is raised, performs containers pass to a second spreader 51 (FIG. (L)). Thereafter, the container delivery body 54 moves forward and descends, and moves the container C ₇ to the first spreader 4.
8 (M) in FIG.
That is, the container delivery device 45 follows the first cargo handling device 43 with a certain time lag. In addition, the following traversing is performed by extending and retracting the front and rear expansion and contraction portions of the traveling body connecting means that connects the two traveling bodies 46 and 52.

Therefore, by repeating such an operation, the unloading cycle time can be greatly reduced, and the unloading operation can be performed extremely efficiently. When the containers C are loaded from the transport carts 3 on each first horizontal traveling path 20 to the container ship S, the operations can be performed efficiently in the same manner as described above by performing the operation reverse to the unloading operation. .

In the container crane 4 described above, a third cargo handling device 56 and a container delivery table 57 can be further added as shown in FIG. That is,
The third cargo handling device 56 is disposed on the rear side of the second cargo handling device 44 and can traverse the same traversing route, and has the same structure as the second cargo handling device 44. The container delivery table 57 is provided on the gantry 41 so as to be vertically movable or fixed. With this configuration, the second cargo handling device 4
4, the container delivery between the container delivery body 54 and the container delivery table 57 is performed, and the third cargo handling device 5
6, the container delivery between the container delivery table 57 and the truck 3 on the first horizontal traveling path 20 is performed, so that the required traversing amount of the second cargo handling device 44 is reduced, and the unloading from the container ship S and the container ship The efficiency of loading on S can be further increased.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the land-side cargo handling device 7 is constituted by suspension support transfer mechanisms 60 that are a part of the carry-in / out device 6, and moves the rear area of the hangar body 10 in the left-right direction. Land transport equipment 8, 8 such as a traveling container transport vehicle
And a container transfer between the first land side external carry-in / out area 10b. That is, when the land transport device 8 loaded with the container C stops under any of the suspension transfer mechanisms 60, the container C is moved up and down by one of the spreaders 60c of the suspension transfer mechanism 60 to move the container C. From 8, it is carried into the transfer trolley 3 waiting under the suspension transfer mechanism 60, that is, the land side outside carry-in / out area 10 b.
Further, the container C brought to the land-side external loading / unloading area 10b by the transfer cart 3 is the land-side external loading / unloading area 10b.
b, the suspension transfer mechanism 60
It is carried out to the land transportation device 8 waiting below. Note that the second land-side external loading / unloading areas 10b,... Serve as external loading / unloading areas in which containers C are transferred to and from the internal loading / unloading areas 10a,.
Is selected, the land-side cargo handling device 7 does not function.
That is, the container transport from the land transportation device 8 to the second land-side external loading / unloading area 10c is performed by the land transportation device 8, and the container transport from the second land-side external loading / unloading area 10c to the land transportation device 8 is performed. This is because the transfer is performed by the loading / unloading device 6 that transports the container C from the internal loading / unloading area 10a to the second land side external loading / unloading area 10c, that is, the suspension transfer mechanism 60.

In the container terminal sea-side loading / unloading system configured as described above, the traveling body portions 18a and 18b of each stacker crane 61 travel in an integrated traveling mode or an independent traveling mode, and the delivery action section 84 , 88 in the same area 11b or different areas 11a, 11b, as described above, the container can be efficiently transferred between the internal carry-in / out area 12a and the storage room 12 depending on the situation as described above. it can. Further, as described above, the container cranes 4 can efficiently transfer containers between the container ship S and the sea-side external carry-in / out area 10a as described above. Further, by moving and moving up and down each spreader 60c of each suspension transfer mechanism 60, the transfer truck 3 (the transfer truck waiting under the travel route of the spreader 60c) located on one of the second horizontal traveling paths 21 is moved. The internal carry-in / out area 12a selected as 3)
The container can be efficiently delivered to and from the container. Therefore, by repeatedly performing the container delivery by the suspension support transfer mechanism 60 and the stacker crane 61, the transfer carriage circulated between the first horizontal travel paths 20, 20 and the second horizontal travel paths 21, 21. 3 and the container cranes 4 and 4, the unloading from the container ship S to the storage room 12 or the loading from the storage room 12 to the container ship S can be efficiently performed.

That is, when the container C unloaded from the container ship S is to be stored in the storage room 12, first, the transfer trolley 3 which has received the container C from the second spreader 51 is moved from the first horizontal traveling path 20. The vehicle travels to one of the second horizontal traveling paths 21. Thereafter, the transfer cart 3 is stopped at any of the sea-side external carry-in / out areas 10a. next,
Spreader 60 located just above this transfer trolley 3
c is lifted and lowered to suspend the container C on the transfer trolley 3, and the spreader 60 c is further moved to be positioned in a direction directly above the appropriate internal carry-in / out area 12 a, and the spreader 6 is moved.
0c is moved up and down to move the container C into the internal loading / unloading area 12
stored in a. Then, the container C in the internal carry-in / out area 12 a is stored in an appropriate storage room 12 by the stacker crane 61.

When the container C stored in the storage room 12 is to be loaded on the container ship S, first, the container C is transferred from the storage room 12 to the appropriate internal carry-in / out area 12a by the stacker crane 61. Next, the container C is transferred from the container transfer storage room 12 to the transfer cart 3 located on one of the second horizontal traveling paths 21 by the suspension transfer mechanism 60. Thereafter, the transfer cart 3
Is moved from the second horizontal traveling path 21 to the first horizontal traveling path 20 and stopped at a position immediately below the second spreader 51, and the container C on the transfer carriage 3 is moved to the second spreader 5
Hand over to 1.

In this case as well, as in the case of the container delivery between the second spreader 51 of the container crane 4 and the transfer carriage 3 on the first horizontal travel path 20, the transfer carriage 3 moves between the horizontal travel paths 20 and 21. Since each of the spreaders 60c of the suspension support transfer mechanism 60
The container can be transferred to and from the transfer carriage 3 on the horizontal traveling path 21 quickly and smoothly without any loss time. Such an effect is achieved by a plurality of suspension support transfer mechanisms 6.
0... And each pair of suspension transfer mechanisms 60 is provided with a pair of vertically disparate spreaders 60c, 60c that can freely travel without interfering with each other. . Also, in addition to these,
Since a plurality of internal carry-in / out areas 12a are provided below the spreader traveling path of each suspension transfer mechanism 60, the suspension transfer mechanism 60 and the stacker crane 61 between the transfer carriage 3 and the storage room 12 are provided. Can be quickly and smoothly performed without causing a time loss.

Further, in the seaside loading / unloading system of the container terminal, the traveling body portions 18a, 18b of each stacker crane 61 are caused to travel in an integrated travel mode or an independent travel mode, and the delivery action sections 84, 88 are located in the same area. As described above, the internal carry-in / out area 12a is raised or lowered or expanded / contracted in the different areas 11a or 11b.
Container transfer between the storage room 12 and the storage room 12 can be performed efficiently. Further, by moving each spreader 60c of each suspension transfer mechanism 60 up and down, the transfer carriage 3 (the first carriage 3) on the internal carry-in / out area 12a and the third horizontal traveling path 73 is moved.
Container delivery to or from a land transportation device (a cart located in the land-side external loading / unloading area 10b) or a land transportation device (such as a container transporter waiting in the second land-side external loading / unloading area 10c) 8 or on the fourth horizontal travel path 74 The container delivery between the transfer truck 3 (the truck located in the first land side outside carry-in / out area 10b) and the land transportation device 8 can be efficiently performed. Therefore, by repeatedly carrying out the container delivery by the suspension transfer mechanism 60 and the stacker crane 61, the unloading from the land transport device 8 to the storage room 12 or the loading from the storage room 12 to the land transportation device 8 can be efficiently performed. It can be carried out.

That is, when loading the container C stored in the storage room 12 into the land transportation device 8, first, the container C is transferred from the storage room 12 to an appropriate internal carry-in / out area 12a by the stacker crane 61. Then, the container C is transferred to the internal loading / unloading area 1 by the suspension transfer mechanism 60.
2a to the land transportation device 8.

At this time, when the land transporting device 8 is not on standby under the spreader traveling route of the suspension support mechanism 60, the container C is moved from the internal loading / unloading area 12a to the transport cart on the third horizontal traveling route 73. Hand over to 3. Then, the transfer carriage 3 is moved from the third horizontal travel path 73 to the fourth horizontal travel path 7.
Run to 4. Thereafter, when the suspension transport mechanism 60 in which the land transportation device 8 is standing by under the spreader travel path is selected, and the transport carriage 3 is positioned under the spreader travel path of the suspension transport mechanism 60, Stop. Then, the container is transferred from the transfer trolley 3 to the land transportation device 8 by the suspension transfer mechanism 60. In addition, the container C unloaded from the container ship S is directly transferred to the land transportation device 8.
In the case of loading on the ground transportation device 8 by the suspension transfer mechanism 60, directly from the transfer carriage 3 on the second horizontal traveling path 21 of the first carriage circulation path 2 or through the internal loading / unloading area 12a.
Is transferred to the container C.

As described above, since various types of container transfer modes can be selected according to the situation, it is possible to efficiently load the land transportation device 8 without causing any loss time.

Further, by carrying out the reverse operation to the above, various container transfer modes can be selected according to the situation, as in the case of loading, and the unloading from the land transportation device 8 can be performed in a loss time. Can be carried out efficiently without causing the problem.

As in the case of the embodiment, it can be performed efficiently.

That is, the container C is moved from the second spreader 51 of the container crane 4 to the land side outside carry-in / out area 10a.
Is delivered to the carry-in / out carriage 35, the carry-in / out carriage 3
Reference numeral 5 denotes a self-propelled passageway 19 for an appropriate internal loading / unloading area 9.
Stop at At this time, the third traveling body portions 18c are positioned outside the internal carry-in / out areas 9. Then, the first transfer body 23 is lowered onto the carry-in / out carriage 35 from the first traveling body portion 18a located immediately above the internal carry-in / out area 9 and the container C is moved from the carriage 35 to the first transfer body 23. (See the chain line in FIG. 23). The empty trolley 35 that has delivered the container C travels backward in the carry-in / out passage 19 after the first delivery body 23 and the container C suspended by the first delivery body 23 have risen to the upper region 11a. It heads toward the sea side outside carry-in / out area 10a and prepares for the next container reception from the container crane 4.

The first delivery body 23 moves the container C into an appropriate storage room 1 by its vertical movement, travel by the first traveling body portion 18a, and expansion and contraction of the first delivery action parts 84, 84.
Hand over to 2. At this time, if the storage room 12 is open to the intermediate region 11c or the lower region 11b, the first traveling body portion 18a and the third traveling body portion 18c or the second and third traveling body portions 18b, 18c and the first delivery body 23 is lowered to a position corresponding to the storage room 12. Also, the storage area 12 is the lower area 1
1b, the entire running body portion 18
The containers C are transferred from the first delivery body 23 to the second delivery body 24 with the a, 18b, and 18c in the tandem state, and are stored in the storage room 12 by the second delivery body 24. On the other hand, the first delivery body 23 that has delivered the container C to the second delivery body 24
Is the first which has released the tandem state with the third traveling body portion 18c.
The traveling body portion 18a is moved onto the internal carry-in / out area 9 to prepare for the next container reception from the carry-in / out carriage 35. Such handling is various in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and the selection can be made in accordance with the loading situation of the container C.

When the container C is carried out of the storage room 12 to the container crane 4, the same operation is performed as described above. That is, the first traveling body portion 18a is run independently, or the first traveling body portion 18a and the third traveling body portion 18c or the second and third traveling body portions 18b and 18c are run in a tandem state. After receiving the container C directly from the storage room 12 by the first delivery body 23 or via the second delivery body 24, the first traveling body 18a, which has been released from the cascade state, is positioned immediately above the internal carry-in / out area 9. . Then, the container C is delivered from the first delivery body 23 to the carry-in / out carriage 35 waiting in the internal carry-in / out area 9, transferred to the sea-side carry-in / out area 9 by the carry-in / out carriage 35, and delivered to the container crane 4. .

When the container C is carried in and out between the storage room 12 and the land transportation device 8, the container C is also moved between the storage room 12 by the stacker crane 6 and the carry-in / out carriage 35 in the internal carry-in / out area 9. The container delivery and the container transfer between the internal loading / unloading area 9 and the land-side loading / unloading area 10b by the traveling of the loading / unloading carriage 35 are performed in the same manner as described above. By carrying out the container transfer between the carry-in / out carriage 35 located in the entry area 10b and the land transportation device 8, the carry-in / out of the container C on the land side can be performed efficiently.

The selection of the external carry-in / out areas 10a and 10b is arbitrary, and can be set on the circulation passage 36. In that case, according to the number of loading
The number of the external carry-in / out areas 10a and 10b can also be arbitrary. Of course, the vertical position of the intermediate area 11c and the carry-in / out passage 19 or the internal carry-in / out area 9 can also be arbitrarily set according to the height of the hangar main body 10, the installation height of the cargo handling devices 4, 7, and the like. . Further, the traveling direction of the carry-in / out carriage 35 can be changed according to the carry-in / out state. For example, when the container C is carried out from the hangar 12 to the container crane 4 or when the container C is carried into the hangar 12 from the land transportation device 8, the carry-in / out carriage 35 is moved in the opposite direction as described above (the direction opposite to the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 18). ) And transport the unloading container C or the unloading container C to the circulation passage 36.
Can be transported to the sea-side carry-in / out area 10a or the internal carry-out area 9 without detouring.

FIGS. 26 to 29 show a third embodiment, which is exactly the same as the second embodiment except for the following points.

That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 26 and 28, each carrying-in / out passage 19 is surrounded by left and right side walls 93, 93 and a bottom wall 94, except for the upper surface. Each intermediate area 11c is divided right and left at a portion corresponding to the internal carry-in / out area 9.

On the other hand, each traveling body 18 is divided into first to third traveling body portions 18a to 18c as in the second embodiment, but the intermediate region 11c is moved in and out as described above. As shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, a pair of left and right third traveling body portions 18c, 18c which independently travel on both left and right sides of the portion, respectively, are provided since they are divided into left and right portions at a portion corresponding to the region 9. . Each traveling body part 18a, 1
The configurations of 8b and 18c are completely the same as those of the second embodiment, and the first and second traveling body portions 18a and 18b are different from the third traveling body portions 18c in that the upper and lower portions of the internal carrying-in / out area 9 are different. The vehicle can travel in the left and right direction through the upper and lower regions 11a and 11b after passing through the portion.

The opposite surfaces of the left and right side walls 93, 93 in the internal carry-in / out area 9 are provided with the elevating guide rails 28, 28 of the first traveling body portion 18a located immediately above the internal carry-in / out area 9. Continuous fixed guide rails 39, 39
Is provided so that the lowering from the upper area 11a of the first delivery body 23 to the internal carry-in / out area 9 is performed smoothly. Therefore, the loading / unloading carriage 35 has the second
Unlike the first embodiment, the columns 38 and the fixed guide rails 39 are not provided. The left and right side walls 93, 9
As shown in FIG. 29, an engagement hole with which each positioning pin 34a of the first traveling body portion 18a engages is provided in the upper end flange portion 3.

In the third embodiment, the third traveling body portion 18c arranged in tandem with the first and third traveling body portions 18a and 18b is different between the right side area and the left side area of the internal carry-in / out area 9. Except for this, the same container loading and unloading as in the second embodiment is performed.

The configuration of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but can be appropriately improved and changed without departing from the basic principle of the present invention.

For example, the object to which the present invention can be applied is not limited to the container C but may be a delivery object 2 such as an automobile.
3, 24, and those that cannot be directly supported by a spreader or the like are also included. In these cases, it is only necessary to use a support medium such as a pallet to support the transfer members 23 and 24 and the like. Of course, depending on the structure of the hanging tool and the mounting tool such as the transfer action parts 84 and 88, it is also possible to directly support an automobile or the like without using a pallet or the like.
Therefore, by doing in this way, the three-dimensional hangar 1 according to the present invention can be suitably used not only as a container hangar but also as a three-dimensional parking lot for hanging equipment.

The carts 3 and 35 for transferring the objects to be stored such as the container C can be replaced with a roller conveyor or the like. Therefore, the configuration of the carrying-in / out device 6 or the like, which is a means for transferring the stored object, is also arbitrary.

The configuration of the stacker crane 61 can be arbitrary without departing from the basic principle of the present invention. For example, the number of divisions of the traveling body 18 in the vertical direction is also arbitrary. In addition, the configuration of the transfer bodies 23 and 24 is arbitrary as long as it can handle stored objects (including pallets and the like) such as the container C. In addition, the delivery body 23,
As the lifting mechanism 85, 90 of the 24, in addition to the above-mentioned wire rope means, a lifter or the like formed by combining links in an X-shape, a pattern chart-shape, or another shape can be used. For example, in each of the above-described embodiments, if the second lifting mechanism 90 is configured by the lifter, the two delivery members 2
Both 3 and 24 can be raised and lowered in the entire area of the transfer passage 11, so that the number of handling modes when all the traveling body portions are in the tandem state can be increased.

If the strut of each traveling body portion is hollow as described above, a ballast weight connected to the delivery body by wire is provided in the strut so as to be able to move up and down so as to reduce the lifting load of the delivery body. Can be. Further, the positioning pin may be configured to protrude and retract using the internal space of the column. Also, as in the second embodiment, when it is necessary to dispose a traveling rail 19 or the like between the traveling body portions 18b and 18c, the traveling body portion 18
b, 18c cannot be approached more than a certain level,
There may be a case where the area where the lifting guide rail is lost between 8b and 18c becomes large, and the transfer body 23 cannot be smoothly moved under the upper area 11a.
The problem can be solved by providing an auxiliary lift guide rail that can appear and disappear in the lift guide rail deficient area in accordance with the lifting state of the delivery body 23 in the column.

[0142]

As can be easily understood from the above description, in the three-dimensional hangar according to the present invention, a plurality of handlings can be performed in parallel by the stacker cranes provided in each transfer passage. In addition, since the selection can be made in accordance with the state of loading / unloading of the stored object, the loading / unloading operation of the stored object can be efficiently performed while reducing the loss time as much as possible. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently cope with an increase in the size of the hangar.
