Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 3. Detailed Description of the Invention Industrial Application Field The present invention has an endless circulation path having a vertical movement path, and circulates and moves a large number of storage units while always maintaining a horizontal posture. It is related to "vertical rotating V", and especially when a power supply is required in each town of the above-mentioned "storage", for example, a power supply device incorporating a power supply device for performing aging tests of stored electrical products or charging batteries. This relates to a vertical rotating shelf.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, a rotating shelf device in which an aging power supply device is incorporated in a horizontal rotating shelf in which a large number of storage shelves are disposed on a horizontal surface and circulate along an endless circulation path is known, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 58-9.
It is known from the publication No. 9225.

In the above-mentioned horizontal rotating shelves, each storage shelf moves while gradually changing its direction in the tangential direction in the rotational movement part of the circulation path, so adjacent storage shelves move in parallel in almost the same direction. . Therefore, it is possible to electrically connect the collector attached to each storage shelf to the collector of an adjacent storage shelf using a cord, and the contact mechanism between the collector shoe and the power supply rail is also relatively simple.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned vertical rotation (2), each storage shelf is moved while always being kept horizontally, so the rotation locus is complicated in the rotational movement part of the circulation path, and each storage shelf m has to be driven. It is rotatably mounted on a support arm connected to an endless chain. For this reason, when simply attaching a collector to each storage shelf and connecting the collectors of adjacent storage shelves with a cord as in the case of a horizontal type, there is a problem that the cord becomes entangled in the rotationally moving part.

The present invention has been made with the aim of solving these problems, and the present invention has been made in such a way that the cords that connect the collectors provided on each storage shelf to each other always move along an endless circulation path regardless of the posture and position of the storage shelf. To provide a vertical rotary shelf with a power supply device configured to reliably prevent cords from getting entangled and to constantly supply power to each storage shelf.

Means for Solving the Problems According to the present invention, a collector is rotatably attached to the side plate of the storage shelf within a limited range, and the collector shoe is attached to the storage shelf as the storage shelf moves. The collector is configured to move along the endless circulation path while being rotationally displaced relative to the collector, and the collector is electrically connected to a power supply cord disposed within the storage shelf via a slip ring. and are electrically connected to the collectors of adjacent storage shelves with cords, while a power supply rail is disposed along the vertical movement path, and the collectors of at least one storage shelf located on the vertical movement path are electrically connected to each other by a cord. The collector shoe is attached to the power supply rail! It is characterized by being in contact with each other for conduction.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. 1st
The figure shows an overall view of a vertical rotary shelf with a power supply device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the groove structure. This vertical rotation (this method is known in the art, and an endless chain 4 is hung between a driving wheel 2 and a driven wheel 3 which are arranged on the top and bottom of a separate frame 1 for vertical movement! 111 has a path A. An endless circulation path is formed, and a large number of storage units a are placed at appropriate intervals in the endless chain 4.
5 is suspended and supported via a support arm 6.6 and a kite arm 7 so as to circulate and move while always maintaining a horizontal position, and each storage shelf 5 is provided at the front of the machine frame 1 by driving an endless chain 4. It is designed to be moved to the teller port 8. Then, various electrical appliances 9 such as radio reception units, circuit components, etc. that are subject to battery aging are stored in the storage 4IN+5 through the outlet 8, and electricity is connected to the power supply cord 10 arranged in the storage (115). It is used to supply power by connecting the

As shown in FIG. 3, two support arms 6.6 (one set on each side of the storage shelf) supporting each storage shelf 5 are pivoted at one end to the endless chain 4 at an appropriate distance. The other end is connected to the side plate 11 of the storage All 15 with a bracket 12.
The support shaft 13 (see FIGS. 4 and 7) is fixed to the support shaft 13 (see FIGS. 4 and 7) and is pivotally connected to the support shaft 13 (see FIGS. 4 and 7). On the other hand, one end of the guide arm 7 is fixed to the tip of the support shaft 13, and it! ! By engaging the endless guide rail 15 disposed so as to surround the outside 11111 of the endless chain 4, the guide rollers 14 installed at the end (8) can It is configured to move in an endless circulation path while always maintaining a horizontal posture.

Next, the power supply device 20 incorporated in the vertical rotating shelf will be described.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, a number of slip rings 21 corresponding to the number of poles to be supplied with power are fitted and fixed to the support shaft 13 via insulating collars 22, and between each slip ring 21. A separator 23 is interposed between the two, and the two are installed in parallel with a certain distance between them. Electric wires 24 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) connected to each slip ring 21 are connected to the power supply cord 10 disposed inside the storage shelf 5.

A bearing 25 is fitted to the tip of the support shaft 13, and a plate 27 is fixed to the case 26 of the bearing 25 to attach the collector. When mounting the collector, the plate 27 is rotatably supported with respect to the support shaft 13, but as will be described later, the rotation range is limited to the rotation stop pin 2 that abuts the support arm 6.6.
8.29.

Reference numeral 31 denotes a collector (current collector) that slides in contact with the outer periphery of each slip ring 21, and the collector is attached to the end of the plate 27 by screws 33 (Fig. (see). Each collector shoe 32 is connected to a corresponding collector shoe 32 of an adjacent storage shelf 5 via a curl cord 34, and is electrically connected to each other (see FIGS. 2 and 3). 27, an inner rotation stopper pin 28 and an outer rotation stopper pin 29 protruding from the outer surface abut against the support arm 6.6, so that the rotation range thereof is limited.

That is, as clearly shown in FIG.
5 is located in the vertical movement path A, the outer detent pin 29 abuts the support arm 6.6, and the collector shoe 32 is positioned in the center between both support arms 6.6, while the storage When the shelf 5 is in the rotary position, the inner detent pin 28 abuts both support arms 6.6, and the collector shoe 32 is positioned centrally between the support arms 6.6. In this way, the collector shoe 32 can be temporarily mounted on the storage shelf 5 within a limited range such that the collector shoe 32 is always located close to the middle jaw between both support arms 6.6 regardless of the position and orientation of the storage shelf 5. Since the collector shoe 32 is rotationally displaced relative to the chain 4, the collector shoe 32 circulates along the endless circulation path formed by the endless chain 4. Therefore, the curl cords 34 connecting adjacent collector shoes 32 to each other also move along the endless circulation path regardless of the position and orientation of the storage shelf 5, and are not tangled (see FIG. 2).

Reference numeral 35 denotes a power supply rail, which is movably attached to a rail holding plate 36 and arranged along the vertical movement path A, and due to the suppressing action of a spring 37, the vertical movement path is moved as shown in FIGS. The collector shoes 32a and 32b of two specific storage shelves 5 located at A are pressed into contact with each other to establish electrical conduction. Due to this continuity, the power supply rail 3
The power cord 38 connected to the storage shelf 5 is electrically connected to the collector 31 of each storage shelf 5 through the collector shoe 328 32b and the curl cord 34, and electricity is supplied to the power supply cord O through the slip ring 2. As a result, power is supplied to the electrical appliances 9 stored in the storage shelf 5 as described above.

As described in detail, according to the present invention, the collector attached to the side plate of the storage shelf is attached to the storage shelf even though the storage shelf moves while maintaining a horizontal position even in the rotationally moving part. Since the collector shoe is configured to always move along the endless circulation path by rotating relative to the collector shoe, the cords connecting adjacent collectors to each other also move along the endless circulation path. The cords will not get tangled.The collector shoes will smoothly contact the power supply rails arranged in the vertical movement path, and power can be reliably and well supplied to the power supply cords arranged in each storage shelf. .
