Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a containment vessel in which a test product is housed and an aging test is performed by supplying necessary power to the test product.

Conventionally, power was supplied by installing an outlet in each shelf booth of a stationary machine and plugging the product to be powered into the same outlet, or by installing an outlet in each shelf booth of a rotating shelf and plugging the product into the same outlet. Ta. Regardless of the method used, it was necessary to manually plug the sample product directly into the outlet of the shelf booth. In addition, if the test product does not have a fixed shape, handling such as storing it in or taking it out from each shelf booth is extremely complicated, and the workability is poor in the shelf booths located at a high position, and it requires a lot of effort. Therefore, effectively the shelf space could not be used effectively.

The present invention relates to an improvement of a containment vessel equipped with a power supply device that overcomes such difficulties, and is provided with at least one plug on either or both of the front and rear external end faces of the containment vessel, and the inside of the containment vessel is provided with at least one plug. It is characterized in that one or more electrical plugs are provided, and an overcurrent protection means is provided between the plug and the outlet,
The purpose of this is to provide a containment vessel with a power supply device that can safely and reliably supply power during an aging test.In the present invention, as described above, one of the external front and rear end surfaces of the containment vessel is or at least one or more plugs are provided in both, at least one or more outlets electrically connected to the plugs are provided inside, and overcurrent protection means is provided between the plugs and the outlet. For this reason, aging tests have conventionally been carried out by directly storing test products in shelf booths, but since test products can be stored in storage containers, it is possible to automate and save labor by using a conveyor. Furthermore, since the storage container can be stored using a transporter, it can be easily stored in a shelf booth located at a high position, thereby achieving both labor saving and space utilization of the shelf booth.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the power required for the aging test can be safely and reliably supplied through the outlet on the shelf side and the plug on the storage container side, and accidents such as heat generation due to poor contact can be prevented.

Furthermore, in the present invention, an overcurrent protection means is provided.
Even if a short circuit occurs due to some reason (defective product, faulty connection cord, etc.), there is no risk of the test product being burnt out due to overcurrent, and aging tests can be performed safely.

In addition, the present invention provides the above-mentioned containment container with an energization display means, so that it can be confirmed whether the plug of the containment container is safely inserted into the outlet on the shelf booth side, and the shelf booth can be operated without electricity. It is possible to eliminate the loss time of storing the product, and in the case of a defective insertion, it is possible to perform the insertion again. Furthermore, by running the conveyor or the like periodically during the aging test, it is possible to check the state of the energization display means to confirm whether the aging test is being executed normally.

An embodiment of the present invention illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 10 will be described below.

The automated warehouse 1 includes left and right sets of three-dimensional shelves 3 in which shelf booths 2 are arranged on the upper, lower, left, and right sides, and a stacker that can move up and down and left and right to carry goods in and out along the shelf front surface of the three-dimensional shelves 3. Crane 4
is installed. The stacker crane 4 is provided with a lifting platform 6 along a stacker crane mast 5 that can be moved up and down by a lifting mechanism (not shown).

Furthermore, an engaging pawl 7 is disposed in the center of the lifting platform 6 so as to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the shelf frontage direction of the three-dimensional shelf 3 by a forward/reverse motor. It is arranged.

The belt conveyor 8 is configured to move the placed object in the same direction as the engaging claw 7 by a forward/reverse motor.

The engaging claw 7 is moved up and down in three stages by a lifting mechanism (not shown).

On the other hand, angle-shaped container receivers 9 are arranged on both sides of the shelf booth 2, and a stopper 1 is provided at the rear end of the container receiver 9.
9 is provided, and a magnet is further attached on the stopper 19, so that when the container IO is placed on the container receiver 9, it is fixed by the magnet 2[).

Two upper and lower power supply ducts 11 are installed at the rising part of the depth side of each shelf booth 2, passing through each shelf booth 2 at right angles to the vertical direction. An insulator 12 is fixed, and a conductor 1 is further placed on the insulator 12.
3 is installed. Furthermore, duct outlets 14 are attached to the power supply ducts 11 in firm contact with the conductive wires 13, respectively.

On the other hand, two plugs 15 are attached to both end surfaces of the container 10, one above the other.
A guide bar 16 is attached to the middle of the plug 5, and a circumferential guide 17 is attached so as to surround the plug 15.

Therefore, when the container 10 is stored in the shelf booth 2, the gap 14 & above and below the duct outlet 14 attached to the power supply duct 11 and the duct outlet 1
4, the guide bar 16 and the circumferential guide 17 are guided by the outer edge 14b of the duct outlet 14.
and the plug 15 can be fitted together without any problem. Further, at this time, a limit switch 35 (to) for starting the energization attached to the end face of the container 10 comes into contact with the outer edge 14b of the duct outlet 14 and is activated.

A photoelectric switch 49 is attached to both ends of the container 10, and a photoelectric switch 49 is attached to both end surfaces of the container 10 to display the energization status of the specimen. , a photoreceiver 21 for receiving the signal from the photoelectric switch 49 is attached.

Next, the electric circuit of the above embodiment will be explained.

Therefore, when the plug 33.34.43.44 is fully attached to the duct outlet (31.32.41.42), the energization limit switch 35Q6 is activated and the fuse 37
, when the plug 39.4O is not fused, power is supplied to the aging parts plug 39.4O, and power is supplied to the aging part 51 via the parts outlet 45.46 installed in advance.

At the same time, a voltage is applied to the photoelectric switch control unit 50, and the photoelectric switch 49 starts emitting light. (Capital)
The photoelectric switch does not emit light because it is not pressurized.

Since the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 10 is constructed as described above, the aging test is carried out as follows: containers 1 on belt conveyor 8.
The stacker crane 4 carrying the container IO moves by itself to a predetermined shelf booth 2, and then, as shown in FIG. 8, the belt conveyor 8 rotates to push the container IO into the shelf booth 2.
When the container 10 passes over the engaging claw 7 located below the belt conveyor 8, the engaging claw 7 rises to the middle position, and this time the engaging claw 7 moves the container 10 into the shelf booth 2. You will have to push it. When being pushed in, between the guide bar 16 and the circumferential guide 17 and the duct outlet) 14 side @
14 m and an outer edge 14 b;
The duct outlet 14 and the plug 15 fit together very smoothly. At the same time, the energization start limit switch 35 (capital) is activated, and the aging component-1
Powered by Note that if power is reliably supplied to the aging component 51, the photoelectric switch 49 emits light.

To take out the container 10 after the aging test, the engaging claw 7 is moved in the middle position until it collides with the container 10, and then the engaging claw 7 is raised to the upper position and engaged with the handle 18. When the container 10 is pulled out by the engaging claw 7, the belt conveyor 8 starts rotating.

When the container 10 is placed on the belt conveyor 8, the engaging claw 7 is lowered to a lower position, moved to a fixed position, and then stopped.

The container 10 placed on the conveyor 8 is moved to a predetermined position and stopped.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the duct outlet 14
and the plug] 5 are inserted between the guide bar 16 attached to the container 10 and the circumferential guide 17 and the duct outlet) 14 side! 14a and outside 114b, automation and labor saving can be achieved by using the stacker crane 4, and the power necessary for the aging test can be safely and reliably supplied through the duct outlet 14 and the plug plug 15. This can prevent accidents such as heat generation due to poor contact. Furthermore, as soon as the duct outlet 14 and the plug 15 are fully connected, the power supply start limit switch is activated and the power supply starts, thereby avoiding unstable power supply during the insertion process. A stable test start is possible.

In this embodiment, the plug 33 of the container 10.
34.43.44 and the same container, Tenor 10 (hunsen for aging parts inside) 45.46, there was a fuse for alarm, and straw was inserted, so there was a short circuit accident due to some reason. If electricity is generated, the alarm fuse 37 and the alarm will melt, so there is no risk of overcurrent flowing to the aging parts 51 and causing them to burn out, and the aging test can be carried out safely.Moreover, each container 10 is individually equipped with an alarm fuse and an alarm fuse. Because it is attached, even if a short circuit accident occurs, it will not affect the product during other aging tests.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the photoelectric switch 49 is attached to the container 10, the light emitted from the photoelectric switch 49 is detected by the light receiver 21 attached to the stacker crane 4, thereby confirming the insertion state of the plug 15 of the container IO. If it comes off and the insertion is defective, you can push it in again.

In addition, by periodically driving the stacker lane 4 during the aging test, it is possible to check the lighting status of the photoelectric switch 490 and confirm whether the aging test is being performed normally. This eliminates the wasted time of leaving items in the booth.

In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the energization status is determined by transmitting and receiving signals between the containment vessel and the conveyor.

Although the presence or absence of an abnormality has been determined, an alarm device (for example, a blinking type or a transmitter that emits a specific frequency) may be provided to issue a signal when the energization status becomes abnormal in the container or container 10. In this way, it is possible to immediately detect an abnormality, thereby further eliminating lost time.

Further, a voltage relay 84 is interposed in parallel with the photoelectric switch control unit I shown in FIG. 10, and is shown in FIG. 11. The circuit may be configured as follows.

In the embodiment shown in FIG.
1, the voltage relay 84 operates, the make contact 84m of the same voltage relay 84 closes, and the timer relay T
operates, and the make contact tm of the timer relay T closes. However, since the break contact 84b of the timer relay T is open, the alarm X (the transmitter) does not operate. However, if the current to the aging component 51 is cut off due to some abnormality, the blur T contact 84b opens and the alarm X is activated.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the aging time can be set in advance by the timer relay T, and an alarm can be issued if abnormal energization occurs after the start of energization but before the completion of the aging time.
