Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve space efficiency and increase handling speed in transferring boxes in a safe-deposit box facility in banks and the like by arranging a stacker crane which can be elevated/rotated in the center of radially arranged stacks of boxes with each stack being in vertical single row in a safe compartment. CONSTITUTION:A safe-deposit box C in a coupon booth F is transferred from a transfer table 4 to a conveying table 3. By means of a rotation drive means 5, a stacker crane 2 is rotated to the direction of the stack 1 and then raised/ lowered to the assigned shelf position. The safe-deposit box is stored from the conveying table 3 into the assigned shelf. Taking out the box is performed in the reverse sequence. With the above configuration, facility space can be efficiently utilized, the facility can be made small in size and the box transfer speed can be increased.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to safe deposit box equipment installed in banks, etc., and in particular, to store a large number of safe deposit box cases in a predetermined storage location, and to store the safe deposit boxes when a customer desires. The present invention relates to safe deposit box equipment in which a customer's safe deposit box case is delivered to a customer handling location (coupon booth, etc.).

[Conventional technology]

There have been various systems in the past for banks, etc. to allow each customer to use a specific safe deposit box based on an individual usage contract, but broadly speaking, they can be broadly classified in terms of equipment by directly allocating safe deposit box spaces equipped with bank locks and allowing customers to use specific safe deposit boxes. The safe deposit box case assigned to the customer and the safe deposit box case that is opened and closed by the customer are stored in a storage shelf managed by the bank.
There are two types: one that is delivered to a customer handling location, such as a coupon booth, each time the customer desires. In the latter case, the exit method has been gradually becoming automated in recent years, but safe deposit box equipment has traditionally been equipped with a storage shelf for safe deposit box case C in contact with wall surface B of safe deposit box room A, as shown in Fig. 5. Safe deposit box cases C are stacked vertically and horizontally in a matrix, and a horizontal kiln or a vertically movable stacker crane E is generally used as a conveying means for removing the safe deposit box cases C from the storage shelves.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The problem to be solved by the present invention is the unreasonableness of space utilization in conventional safe deposit box facilities. Moreover, there is a contradiction in that the moving mechanism of the stacker crane cannot be downsized below a certain limit, and even if it is forced to be small-scale, the price per square becomes extremely high. Moreover, since the movement of the stacker crane is a combination of parallel movement and vertical movement, it takes a very long time to go from corner to corner on the diagonal line, and even if the number of booths for the exit light increases, there is only one path, which is inflexible. In view of the above, the present invention provides safe deposit box equipment that can rationally utilize the space of a safe deposit box, can be taken out and returned quickly, and can be installed compactly and at low cost.

[Means to solve the problem] In this invention, as a means to solve the problem,
Safe deposit box case shelves in the form of a single vertical row are arranged radially inside the safe deposit box, and a stacker crane equipped with a transport platform that can be raised and lowered is rotatable to the center position of the radial arrangement, and any of the safe deposit box case shelves is arranged in a radial manner. The safety deposit box case shelf and the safe deposit box case are transferred to and from the safe deposit box case shelf using the transfer platform of the stacker crane. On the other hand, a transfer platform is provided to transfer safe deposit box cases between the pump pose and the transfer platform of the stacker crane.

[Effect]

The safe deposit box case shelves installed vertically inside the safe deposit box correspond to the second row of conventional storage shelves, and are arranged radially, with the entrance and exit of the safe deposit box facing toward the center.
The stacker crane can simply rotate to face each case shelf and transfer safe deposit box cases. Furthermore, the coupon booth can be placed adjacent to the safe deposit box, and the transfer table can be placed on a part of the safe deposit box case shelf, resulting in a compact safe deposit box facility with an extremely short conveyance path, making efficient space use and speed. - It is possible to take out and return safe deposit box cases.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to examples and drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an example of safe deposit box equipment in which the present invention is implemented. In FIG. 1, the safe deposit box equipment consists of a safe deposit box case shelf 1, a stacker crane 2, a conveyor platform 3, and a transfer platform 4, and the safe deposit box case shelf I has safe deposit box cases stacked in layers. The stacker crane 2 is rotatably disposed at the center of the shelf, which is arranged radially within the safe deposit box room A. The 20 rotations of the stacker crane are driven by an electric motor 5 using a belt or a chain. A transport platform 3 for taking out or returning safe deposit box cases from the safe deposit box case shelf 1 is attached to the stacker crane 2 so as to be movable up and down. In this embodiment, the coupon booth F is directly adjacent to the safe deposit box A, and an exit window G is formed in the protective wall of the safe deposit box A, and between the conveyance platform 3 and the exit window G, A transfer table 4 for delivering safe deposit box cases is provided.

FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken along the line xx' in FIG. 1. If the authentication procedure of the customer who intends to use the safe deposit box is valid, the shelf position of the customer's safe deposit box case is indicated, and the rotation drive means 5 consisting of an electric motor or the like having positioning means
rotates by a predetermined amount, and the stacker crane 2 moves to the transfer platform 3.
is positioned in the direction of the relevant shelf position, and the conveyance table 3 is raised and lowered to the height of the relevant shelf position. FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing an example of a stacker crane, which uses an elevator system using a conveyance platform elevating drive means 6 having a positioning means, and a conveyance platform 3 on which a safe deposit box case C is placed is moved vertically by ropes or chains. It is something that is driven. Now, the transport platform 3 from which the safe deposit box case C has been taken out moves up and down to the same height as the transport platform 4 shown in FIG.
to be delivered. Then, the protective door H of the exit window G is opened, and the transfer table 4 takes out the safe deposit box case C to the coupon booth F. In the case of a return, the operation is the opposite of the above. Note that I is the vault door.

As described above, the safe deposit box equipment according to the present invention takes out the safe deposit box case by rotating and moving up and down, and there is no horizontal movement like in the past, so there is no need for a passage for a stacker crane, so it can be installed compactly, and it can be returned once taken out. The speed is very high, congestion is eliminated, the mechanism is simple, it can be manufactured at low cost, and there are few failures. In particular, the advantage of the site being that the safe deposit box and the coupon booth can be almost integrated is tremendous, and even if the number of coupon booths increases, the layout is flexible enough to be able to handle them directly as shown below. .

FIG. 4 is a plan view showing another example of safe deposit box equipment implementing the present invention. In FIG. 4, the safe deposit box A has a regular hexagonal site, with a safe door I attached to one of the six protective walls and a coupon booth F adjacent to the other five sides. In the safe deposit box room A, safe deposit box case shelves 1 are arranged radially in six directions, and a stacker crane 2 to which a transport platform 3 is attached is disposed at the center thereof. The operations of the safe deposit box case shelf 11 stacker crane 2 and transport platform 3 are all similar to those shown in FIG. can. Even if the number of coupon booths increases, the safety deposit box facility according to the present invention can be accommodated without deteriorating its functionality by being arranged in a satellite system as shown in FIG. 4, and can be used effectively even if the space is limited.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to rationally use the space in a safe deposit box, to provide a safe deposit box facility that is quick to take out and return, is compact, inexpensive, and has great flexibility. In particular, it has the effect of facilitating the automation of small-scale safe deposit boxes.
