Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to transportation equipment, and is particularly suitable for transporting linens, documents, medicines, and similar items in buildings such as hospitals, and small parts in factories. Regarding suitable conveyance equipment.

[Background of the Invention] Conventionally, for example, in hospitals for hemorrhoids, transportation equipment using small electric trolleys running on pneumatic tubes or mole rails has been introduced to transport small, lightweight items such as documents and slips, which has led to labor savings. It is planned. However, only one drug class.

Items such as linen, etc. that are heavily stacked in a critical condition and that have an unnatural shape do not have suitable transportation equipment, so they are delivered to each floor using a ram or an electric wagon, and collected by elevator. Currently, this is done manually. This transportation method using a wagon requires a transporter for each wagon, and when using an elevator, each wagon occupies the elevator, so when it is crowded, it is difficult to get on the elevator. There are many other problems, such as longer waiting times at certain locations and lower transport efficiency, and the fact that the wagons use corridors inside buildings, which can be dangerous for passersby, which further reduces transport efficiency. There are drawbacks.

[Purpose of the invention]

It is an object of the present invention to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art described above and provide a transport facility that can automatically and efficiently transport objects that are large in weight, volume, and have an undefined shape within a multi-story building. There is a particular thing.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention has a mounting device on which a conveyed object is placed, a guide rail installed on the back floor of a building, and an attachment/detachment device for suspending the mounting device, and the device travels while being guided by the guide rail. Transporting self-propelled vehicles, a hoistway that is connected to a guide rail and spans multiple floors of buildings, a lifting body that goes up and down within the hoistway, and loading equipment between a receiving base and a guide rail. It is characterized by the fact that it is equipped with a remote control device.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The conveyance equipment of this embodiment includes a horizontal conveyance device that conveys articles to stations connected to Vtt on each floor, a vertical conveyance device that conveys articles up and down between each floor, and a conveyance device that conveys articles between the horizontal conveyance path and the cargo receiving device at each station. It consists of a vertical transport device and a loading platform for receiving containers. Figure 1-2 shows the overall configuration, and Figure 3 shows a detailed diagram of the self-propelled vehicle.

In these figures, a container 1 loaded with goods to be transported is suspended from a self-propelled vehicle 3 by a container attachment/detachment M2. The container attaching/detaching device 2 can be constructed of, for example, a hook fixed to the container 1 and a hook rotatably provided to the self-propelled vehicle 3.

The self-propelled vehicle 3 travels while being guided by a guide rail 5 having a mouth-shaped cross-section and extending along the lower surface of the floor 4 of the building. The drive device for the self-propelled vehicle 3 is arranged such that a rubber roller 6 installed on the top of the self-propelled vehicle 3 is pressed against the inner surface of the upper part of the guide rail 5, and a drive motor 7 applies rotational force to the rubber roller 6 to create a friction drive. It is configured to do so. Power is supplied to the drive motor 7 by means of a lever 8 installed on the inner surface of the upper part of the G/F rail 5 and a collector 9 installed in the self-propelled vehicle 3. Roughly speaking, the self-propelled vehicle 3 is provided with a guide roller 10 so as to roll on the inner surface of the lower part of the guide rail 5, so that the self-propelled vehicle 3 is structured to run smoothly.

The vertical transport device pressure that transports articles up and down between floors will be explained. The terminal end 11 of the guide rail 5 laid on the lower surface of the floor 4 of each floor is arranged so as to be in the same plane position on each floor, and a lift 812 passing through each floor is installed on the extension of the terminal end 11.

A hoisting machine 13 is arranged at the top of the hoistway 12, and an elevating body 15 is suspended from the hoisting machine 13 by a chain or a wire sheave 14. A guide rail 16 having the same cross-sectional shape as the guide rail 5 is arranged on the elevating body 15 so as to coincide with an extension line of the guide rail 5. That is, the elevating body 15 is moved vertically by the hoist 13, and the guide rail 16 is configured to stop on the extension line of the guide rail 5 provided on each floor, so that the self-propelled vehicle 3 can ride on the guide rail 16. ! It is of R construction.

Next, the transfer device and cargo receiving device at each station will be explained. 7-tar device [17 is a table 18 on which the container 1 is placed, and a 7-tar 19 for moving the container 1 in the vertical direction; A device f20 is provided. Furthermore, 7ter device 1
A cargo receiving device 21 such as a belt or a trolley conveyor for transferring the container 1 is arranged at the front of the container 7 . That is, on stage days, these 7-ter @17# cargo receiving devices 21 automatically receive and deliver cargo to and from the self-propelled vehicle 3.

The above is an example of the conveyance equipment according to the present invention! Now that I have described the structure, I will explain its operation.

When sending a container 1 to another station, the self-propelled vehicle 3 not carrying one container 1 is first called to the upper position of the lifter device 17 using the operation panel 22. After confirming that the table 18 is stopped at the cargo receiving position M21, the container 1 is set on the table 18. The table 18 rises and stops at the uppermost position. Subsequently, the container 1 is suspended from the self-propelled vehicle 3 by the container attaching/detaching device 2 installed on the self-propelled vehicle 3. A self-propelled vehicle travels toward a destination station. When moving to a station on the same floor, the robot moves to the target station and automatically stops at a fixed position above the 7-taper device 17. When moving to a station on another floor, the self-propelled vehicle 3 heads toward the end of the guide rail 5 and rides on the guide rail 16 of the elevating body 15.

The elevating body 15 moves to the destination floor and stops. The self-propelled vehicle 3 transfers to the guide rail 5 on that floor, moves to the destination station, and stops at a fixed position.

After confirming that the table 18 is in a fixed position at the top of the device, the container attaching/detaching device 2 is released and the container 1 is transferred onto the table 18. The table 18 is lowered and stopped at the position of the cargo receiving device 21, and the transfer device ＠
20, the container 1 is transferred onto the cargo receiving device 21.

The structure and operation have been described above, but according to the transport equipment of this embodiment, it is possible to rationalize the conventional manned transport using wagons, and also to connect the horizontal transport path to the ceiling of the building.
Since it can be installed on the back side of building 3, safety for people inside the building can be ensured. Since containers can be transported horizontally and vertically, there is no damage to the transported items. It can respond immediately to transport requests at each station. Even if the supply shortage increases after the equipment is operational, it can be easily handled by increasing the number of self-propelled vehicles.

Note that the conveyance equipment of the present invention can be widely applied not only inside buildings but also to factory production lines and distribution centers.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, heavy i.

It is possible to automatically and efficiently transport large-volume, undefined-shaped items within a multi-story building.
