Abstract

PURPOSE:To convey a commodity on a shelf to a desired position by installing a plurality of vertical members for the getting-over of a rotor on the back surface onto a guide rail, onto the whole periphery of two endless chains, and installing a shelf onto the surface of the vertical member, thus permitting the shelf to stop at a desired position. CONSTITUTION:Two rotary shafts 1 and 1' are arranged in parallel with a prescribed interval, and two parallel endless chains 5 are laid between a driving device 2 for driving one of the shafts and the sprockets 6 of the rotary shafts 1 and 1'. A number of vertical members 7 which are arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction by installing the back surface onto the prescribed positions on the whole periphery of a chain 5, shelf 8 installed onto the surface of the vertical member 7, guide rail 9 arranged in parallel to the rectilinear part of the chain 5, and a rotor 10 installed onto the back surface of the vertical member so as to get over the guide rail 9 are provided. When a commodity is accommodated and delivered, the chain 5 is travelled by driving the driving device 2, and the chain 5 is allowed to stop at a desired shelf. Therefore, the need of walking to the shelf on which the aimed commodity is accommodated is eliminated, when the commodity is accommodated and delivered.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a movable shelving device used for stocking products and other uses.

[Conventional technology]

When stocking a wide variety of products, they are sorted and stored on numerous shelves lined up.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

When loading and unloading products, customers have to go to the shelves where the products are stored or to the shelves where the products are stored, so there is a problem in that efficiency is significantly reduced.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides two rotating shafts that are parallel to each other with a predetermined interval, a drive device that drives one of the rotating shafts, and a sprocket between the two rotating shafts. At least two parallel endless chains extending over each other, a large number of vertical members whose back surfaces are attached to predetermined positions around the entire circumference of the chains and arranged in parallel in the vertical direction, and a shelf provided on the surface of the vertical members; It consists of a guide rail installed parallel to the straight part of the chain, and a rotor installed on the back of a vertical member so as to ride on the guide rail.

[Effect]

When loading and unloading products, the drive device is operated to move the chain and stop a predetermined shelf at the loading/unloading location.

〔Example〕

In the figure, reference numerals 1 and 1' indicate two rotating shafts that are parallel to each other with a predetermined interval left and right.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a drive device that drives one of the rotating shafts 1'.

The drive device 2 described above is composed of a motor 3 with a reduction gear and a bevel gear 4 that is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 3 and the rotating shaft 1' and meshes with each other, but it may be driven by other methods. You may also do so.

Reference numeral 5 designates at least two parallel endless chains extending between the sprockets 6 of both rotating shafts 1 and 1'.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a large number of vertical members whose back surfaces are attached to predetermined positions around the entire circumference of the chain 5 and arranged in parallel in the vertical direction.A shelf 8 is provided on the surface of each vertical member 7.

In the case of illustration, the above-mentioned shelf 8 has many tiers below -1-, but the number of tiers is arbitrary.

In addition, the guide tray/I is parallel to the vertical part of chain 5.
/9, and this guide tray /L/9,
A rotor 10 pivotally supported on the back surface of the vertical member 7 is mounted.

In the illustrated case, the rotor 10 is mounted on the upper surface of the upper guide rail 9, and the rotor 10' is brought into contact with the vertical part of the lower guide rail (v9') to maintain a posture in which the vertical member 7 does not tilt. However, it is also possible to have the second rotor ride on the guide rail.

As shown in the figure, provide a disk 11 that rotates together with the rotating shafts 1 and 1' at the same level as the guide tray/I/9, and make sure that the rotor 10 rides on this disk 11. This prevents a large load from being applied to the meshing portion between the sprocket 6 and the chain 5, thereby avoiding the occurrence of failure.

Further, from Gaitley/L/9 to disk 11, disk 11
(Gaitley) from rotor 10 to v9, 10th rotor
As shown in the figure, the arc-shaped notches R12 at both ends of the guide tray/I/9 are brought close to the periphery of the disc 110, and the guide rail 9 is placed on the periphery of the disc 110 as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12. By wrapping the edges, you can transfer smoothly.

As shown in FIG. 13, a substantially semi-circular guide tray /I/13 is provided at the reversed part of the upper chain 5, and the guide tray (I/13) is pivoted to the upper back surface of the vertical member 7 on the inner circumferential surface of the guide tray (I/13). By bringing the rotor 14 into contact with the rotor 14, it is possible to prevent the upper part of the vertical portion 7 from falling outward.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the bearing member 15 of the rotating shaft 1
The chain 5 is made to be able to slide freely on the support part 16, and is supported on the tip side of the bolt 18 screwed into the column 17, and presses the rotating shaft 1 through the spring 19, so that tension is applied to the chain 5. can be given.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, a protrusion 20 is provided at the cut-out end of the guide tray 1v9 to wrap in the shape of a jw, thereby preventing the rotor 10 from falling. 10 transitions will be smoother.

However, as a method other than the above, as shown in Fig. 7 to Fig. 9, the upper circumferential surface is -1-
It is set at a higher position than the guide rail 9, and a low/l'21 is provided so that the rotor 10 passing therethrough will not collide with it.
By providing a plate-shaped body 22 on the back side of the vertical member 7, which passes by riding on the roll 21, the guide tray) v
Even if there is a gap between the vertical members 7, the vertical member 7 can run smoothly.

〔effect〕

As described in item 2, according to the movable shelving device of the present invention, the shelf of the vertical member can be stopped at a predetermined position while the chain is running. Alternatively, it is possible to eliminate the problem of having to go to the shelf where the product is stored.

In addition, a guide rail is provided parallel to the straight part of the chain, and the rotor of the vertical member is mounted on this guide rail, so that the chain can run stably without falling together with the vertical member due to load.
