Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a multi-story warehouse, particularly a high-rise type, which is constructed by three-dimensionally arranging article storage sections.

Conventional multi-story warehouses were configured to have one function as a whole, so they were easily subject to site restrictions and could not be constructed on any site.

Furthermore, depending on the shape of the warehouse, the transportation time associated with loading and unloading the warehouse becomes long, which has the disadvantage that the operational efficiency of the warehouse deteriorates.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to install unit towers including a part of an elevating tower and a part of an article storage tower side by side, and to overcome the limitations of the site. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a three-dimensional warehouse that can be expanded in stages according to a set scale without having to be affected by damage, and that can shorten the transportation time associated with loading and unloading, thereby improving the operational efficiency of the warehouse.

The present invention will be described below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

The multi-story warehouse of the present invention is equipped with a lifting tower part 2 in the center where an elevator (not shown) raises and lowers, and article storage tower parts 3 adjacent to the lifting tower part 2 on all sides. The required number of unit towers 1 are arranged in parallel.

That is, in a space 4 . . . formed by the adjacent article storage tower parts 3, 3 of one unit tower 1, another unit tower 1' installed in parallel with this unit tower 1,

Except for 2"..., part of the goods storage tower is 3.3', 3"...
It is constructed as an atrium in the horizontal direction of the pillars and walls removed, and the goods loading/unloading ports 6..., 7... ... are arranged, and furthermore, these loading entrances 6... and unloading lower...

The article storage tower parts 3.3', 3'' of these unit towers 1, 1', 1''... are partitioned at regular intervals in the height direction, so that the article storage sections 3 of the multi-story

The elevator that lifts and lowers the parts 2.2', 2'... of the lifting tower moves up and down by operating a drive operation panel (not shown) to open the article loading/unloading ports 6..., 7... and the article storage section. 3a, 3a', 3a"..., respectively, and at these corresponding positions, the elevator, article loading/unloading ports 6..., 7..., and article storage sections 3a, 3
Items are received and handed over between a', 3a'', etc., but this item may be transferred manually by a person in an elevator, or by using a shuttle fork or the like instead of manually. This can be done automatically using .

In addition, the elevator has article storage towers 3.3' and 3'' article storage sections 3a on the four sides of the elevator.

3a', 3'', etc., goods can be received and handed over.

The operation of loading and unloading articles in the multi-story warehouse configured as described above will be explained.

For example, in order to store goods in the goods storage section 3a in the goods storage tower part 3 of the unit tower 1, the goods to be stored are carried into the elevating tower part 2 through a warehousing passage 8 using a conveyor or the like (not shown). The article is selected up to the port 6, and the article is selected from the port 6 to the elevator.

At this time, if the elevator does not correspond to the article loading port 6, the elevator must be brought to the article loading port 6 by operating a drive operation panel (not shown).

Then, the elevator into which the articles have been carried is moved upward by a drive operation panel, stops in correspondence with the desired article storage section 3a, and transfers the article to the desired article storage section 3a for storage.

Further, for example, in order to take out a desired article from the article storage section 3a, the drive operation panel is operated to call the elevator to a position corresponding to the article storage section 3a, and the called elevator is directed to the desired article in the article storage section 3a. The elevator is lowered by operating the drive operation panel again to correspond to the article unloading lower part 2 of the lifting tower, and the articles loaded onto the elevator are selected from the article unloading lower and transported out. The articles are placed on a conveyor or the like (not shown) in the exit passageway 9 and taken out of the warehouse.

As described in detail above, the multi-story warehouse of the present invention includes a part of an elevating tower in the center where an elevator raises and lowers, and a part of article storage towers adjacent to the part of the elevating tower on all sides. A required number of unit towers are arranged in parallel, and a space formed by a part of adjacent article storage towers of one unit tower is filled with an article storage tower of another unit tower installed in parallel with this unit tower. Because I placed a part of it,
Since unit towers can be added sequentially according to the set scale without being subject to site constraints, it is possible to expand according to the production capacity of the factory and the shape of the site, and especially when there is not enough space on the site, it is possible to increase high-rise density with a small number of unit towers. It is something that can be achieved.

In addition, in the multi-story warehouse of the present invention, the loading/unloading passageway is provided at the base of the unit towers installed side by side by locating the article loading/unloading exit of a part of the lifting tower on the side. Since the warehouse is directly connected to the warehouse entrance/exit passage through the article loading/unloading port, the transportation time associated with loading/unloading can be shortened and the operational efficiency of the warehouse can be improved.
