Abstract

PURPOSE:To aim at preventing theft and as well to facilitate the operation of a storage installation, by enabling locks for preventing casings from slipping out, for earthquake countermeasure, to be operated by a pusher attached to the top end of a travel crane. CONSTITUTION:Casings 7 are received and delivered between a casing support parts 3 to be subjected to receiving and delivering of the casings and an elevating carriage 11 by means of a casing transferring device 12. When the receiving and delivering of the casings 7 are completed, a pusher 27 is lowered for return by a drive means on the crane side. As a result an elevating rod 15 and an actuator 19 associated with the former are raised and swung upward under pressing force of a spring 18, and therefore, casing locks 17 attached to the elevating rod 15 are raised so that they are fitted into hendles 6b secured to the casings 7 stored in the casing support parts 3, thereby it is possible to inhibit the casings 7 from shifting toward the travel path of the crane.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a storage facility comprising a shelf for supporting cases and a running lane for loading and unloading cases between the shelves. This invention relates to a storage facility equipped with a case locking device to prevent the case from sliding from the shelf toward the crane travel path due to an earthquake or the like.

In conventional storage equipment of this type, a driving means for switching the case locking device to the unlocked state is provided within the shelf. Therefore, for example, even if a plurality of case locking devices belonging to all the case support sections in the same row in the vertical direction are configured to be switched to the unlocked state by a single drive means, there will be a large number of case locking devices for the entire shelf. This requires a driving means, which increases the equipment cost by a large amount. In order to solve these problems, the drive means is provided not on the shelf but on the crane side, and on the shelf side, an operating tool for switching each case locking device to a unlocked state is provided. , operating the unlocking operation tool at the position where the crane is stopped by a drive means on the crane side;
It has been considered to configure the target case latching tool to be switched between the locked TM and released states.

The present invention aims to more practically improve the storage equipment in which the crane side is provided with a drive means for switching the case locking device to the locked state () and (relatively) released state.
An example of this will be explained below based on the attached illustrative diagram-J
-L.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a shelf, which is erected adjacent to the crane travel path 2, and is provided with a large number of case support parts 6 that are divided vertically and horizontally in the form of base grids. Each of the case support parts 6 is provided with a pair of left and right case support plates 5 (not shown in FIG. 2) attached to a pair of front and rear columns 4a and 4b that are erected on both the left and right sides of the case support part 6. shaped handle 6a.

A case 7 having a housing 6b is supported in the longitudinal direction of the crane travel path 2 so as to be freely put in and taken out in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the crane travel path 2.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a lane in which the crane self-travels within the crane travel path 2 while being guided by the lower power idle rail 9 and the upper guide rail 10, and is equipped with an elevating and lowering carrier nozzle 11. A case loading/unloading device 12 for loading/unloading the case 7 into/out of each case support portion 3 of the shelf 1 is provided on the elevating carrier/fuji 11. Various types of case loading and unloading devices 12 are known, and the illustrated device 12 includes a case push/pull means 15 that can be moved up and down and laterally for loading and unloading the case 7 via the handle 6a or 6b.
and a case conveyor 14.

On the back of the shelf 1 (on the side opposite to the side where the crane travel path 2 is located), an elevating opening/gutter 15 having a length extending approximately the entire height of the shelf 1 is arranged for each row of case support parts 3 in the vertical direction. It is set up. Each of the lifting rods 15 is supported so as to be able to rise and fall by lifting guides 16a and 16b attached to columns 4b located on the same left and right sides, and a case locking tool 17 is provided at each position corresponding to the case support section 6 of each stage. installed. This case locking tool 17 is L-shaped and fits into the handle 6b on the back side of the case 7 housed in the corresponding case support part 3 from below. Moreover, each of the lifting rods 15 is
It is urged upward by a coil spring 18 interposed between a locking tool 17 located directly above the elevating guide 16b and the elevating guide 16b.

Reference numeral 19 denotes an operating tool which is interlocked and connected to each lifting rod 15, and whose intermediate position is pivoted to the shelf upper frame 20 via a support shaft 21 parallel to the longitudinal direction of the crane travel path so as to be able to see-saw. ing. The shelf upper frame 20 extends from the upper end of the shelf 1 (the upper ends of the supports 4a, 4b) onto the crane travel path 2, and is connected to the upper guide 1' rail 10.
However, when shelves are erected on both the left and right sides of the crane travel path 2 as shown by the imaginary lines, the upper ends of the side rails are connected to each other. The outer end of the operating tool 19 is connected to the upper end of the corresponding lifting rod 15 via a connecting pin 22 and an elongated hole, and the inner end of the operating tool 19 faces downwardly to the crane travel path 2. A plate-like operating end 25 is provided.

On the other hand, at the upper end of the running lane 8, the operating tool 19
A pusher 24 that pushes up the plate-like operating end 23 of the pusher 24, and a drive means (cylinder/piston unit, motor, solenoid, etc.) 25 that raises and lowers the pusher 24.
is installed. The pressing end of the pusher 24 is
Carry out the above operations 1 as long as it does not interfere with driving in lane 8.
? When the lane 8 running for loading/unloading work is stopped at a predetermined position, the attached case locking tool 17 and the lifting/lowering It faces the operating end 25 of the operating tool 19 interlocked via the rod 15.

Next, to explain how to use it and how it works, it runs on the lane 8 used for loading and unloading work, and lifts the elevating gear ledge 11.
When the elevating gear 11 is positioned at a predetermined position corresponding to the case support part 6 to be loaded and unloaded, the pusher 24 is raised by the driving means 25 at the upper end of the lane in which it runs, and the pusher 24 is moved to the opposite position. The plate-shaped operating end 23 of the operating tool 19 is pushed up to cause the operating tool 19 to see-saw around the support shaft 21. As a result, the lifting lower 1'15 interlocked with the operating tool 19 is pushed down by a certain amount against the spring 18, and all the case locking devices 17 attached to the lifting rod 15, that is, the objects for loading and unloading work, are pushed down by a certain amount against the spring 18. The case locks 17 disposed on each of all the case supports 6 belonging to one column including the case supports 6 are lowered, and the cases 7 housed in the case supports 6 are On the other hand, it is detached downward from the handle 6b, and in the empty case support section 6, it is lowered to a height that does not interfere with the storage of the case 7.

In this state, the case 7 can be taken in and taken out using the case loading/unloading device 12 between the case support section 6 to be loaded and unloaded and the top of the elevating gear ledge 11. When the work of loading and unloading the case 7 into and out of the case support section 3 to be loaded and unloaded is completed, the pusher 24 is lowered and returned to its original state by the driving means 25 on the crane side. As a result, the lowering rod 15 and the operating tool 19 interlocked therewith are raised and swung by the pressing force of the spring 18, and each case locking tool 17 attached to the lowering/lowering rod 15 is raised, causing the case to rise. Case 7 stored in support part 6
The handle 6b of the case 7 is fitted into the handle 6b, and the case 7 is in a state of being prevented from moving toward the crane travel path 2 side.

In the above embodiment, the operating tool 19 itself is directly interlocked and connected to the upper end of the lifting rod 15, so the operating tool 19 becomes a long seesaw moving body. It is also possible to provide an interlocking operating tool and interlock this operating tool and the upper width of the lifting rod 15 using another wire, chain, link, or the like.

Further, the operating tool may have an operating end that moves horizontally. In this case, the operating tool will be provided at the upper end of the shelf 1, and the pusher 24 on the crane side will be provided near the upper end of the crane so as to move in and out toward the shelf 1.

The case locking storage equipment of the present invention can be implemented as described above, and according to the storage equipment of the present invention, even if the shelf shakes slightly due to an earthquake, the stored cases will not be accidentally damaged. Since the locking device can reliably prevent the case from slipping out of the case supporting section, it can prevent dangerous situations such as the stored case protruding into the crane travel path or falling into the crane travel path. This can be prevented. Furthermore, this locking device can be automatically switched to the locking release position during loading/unloading operations using the locking release pusher provided on the crane side, so a large number of locking release drive means can be installed on the shelf side. The desired purpose can be achieved economically by simply providing one unlocking pusher on the crane side for a large number of locking devices belonging to one shelf.

Moreover, according to the configuration of the present invention, an operating tool for switching each locking tool to the unlocked state is disposed at the top of the crane travel path or at the top end of the shelf, and at the top end of the lane in which the crane travels. Since a button is provided for pressing the corresponding unlocking tool, the operating tool that interlocks with the case locking tool must be located at a high place when viewed from the crane travel path. Therefore, it becomes extremely difficult to artificially operate the operating tool due to the internal force 1 of the crane travel path to unduly switch the case locking tool to the unlocked state. Therefore, the case locking tool described above can be effectively used to prevent theft of the storage case.
