Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a freight vehicle for transporting rental goods, and is particularly suitable for transporting relatively small goods. It is related to vehicles.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art In conventional freight vehicles, a method is widely used in which transport equipment such as containers is loaded with hot cargo, and the containers are loaded onto the freight vehicle and transported. on the other hand.

As a means of transportation for relatively small cargo.

Courier services using route trucks are used. By the way, the above-mentioned high-speed vehicle for mass transportation of small cargo is not currently in practical use.

By the way, in recent years, the Shinkansen network has been developed and is now able to connect major cities at high speed. High-speed mass transportation of cargo using these high-speed vehicles is being considered. One example of this is known, for example, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-47016, in which a high-speed vehicle connecting major cities and airports is used to transport baggage by placing it in a container that can fit on the side of the vehicle body. It shows what to do.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The above-mentioned conventional technology does not take sufficient care to sort the cargo that is loaded at any time by destination when transporting a large amount of cargo using high-speed vehicles, and to ensure that the cargo can be carried in and out within a predetermined time. This has not been done, and there is a risk that handling a large amount of cargo destined for different destinations will be extremely complicated.

In addition, the loading and unloading of the baggage was carried out in a predetermined short time (in addition to scraping, there was a risk that the work would become even more complicated depending on whether loading and unloading was carried out on the left or right side of the vehicle).

An object of the present invention is to provide a freight vehicle that can easily sort cargo and carry it in and out.

[Means for solving problems]

The above purpose is to provide a luggage storage shelf installed inside the vehicle body, an unloader means installed corresponding to the luggage storage shelf for carrying in and out of luggage, and a sorting means for sorting the luggage to be carried in and out. This is achieved by

[For production]

The sequentially loaded baggage is sorted by means, and the baggage is loaded and unloaded by an unloader means, and further carried into and out of the baggage storage rack. Therefore, since the baggage is sorted by destination, and the loading and unloading is carried out using dedicated equipment, the baggage can be loaded and unloaded easily in a short time.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a vehicle body, and a luggage storage shelf 2 is installed inside the vehicle body with a passage 9 secured therein. The luggage storage shelves 2 are arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body 1, and are used to temporarily store luggage 3. 4 is installed between the luggage storage shelves 2 arranged in parallel,
This is a stacker crane that takes cargo 3 into and out of the cargo storage shelf 2. Numeral 5 is a conveyor which is installed between the luggage storage shelves 2 arranged in parallel like the stacker crane 4, and conveys the luggage 3 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body 1 in correspondence with the luggage storage shelves 2. The stacker crane 4 and the conveyor 5 constitute a sorting device m6. 7a and 7b are loading and unloading conveyors installed so that the conveyance direction is the width direction of the vehicle body 1, and entrances and exits 8a, 8b formed in the vehicle body 1,
They are provided corresponding to 8c and 8d. In addition, the loading/unloading conveyors 7a and 7b are fixed near the entrances and exits 8c and 8d on the opposite side of the passage section 90 while traveling, so that they can pass through the communication passage 10 between the front and rear vehicles and the passage section 9. At the time of loading and unloading, it is fixed near the entrances and exits 8a, 8b or 8c, 8d corresponding to the platform where the vehicle has stopped. The sorting device 6 consisting of the stacker crane 4 and the conveyor 5 is operated by a control device (not shown), and the sorting device 6 is operated by a control device (not shown), and the sorting device 6 is stored in a storage section in the control device for each address of the baggage storage shelf 2 while traveling. The sorting operation is performed according to the destination data of the parcel 3. In addition, all the luggage 3 to be unloaded at the next stop station are sequentially conveyed from the luggage storage shelf 2 to the carry-out conveyor 7a by the stacker crane 4 via the conveyor 5, and the first luggage 3 is on the side opposite to the passage section 9. The device is moved until it reaches the vicinity of the entrance/exit 8C. Immediately before stopping, the carry-out conveyor 7a is moved by a drive device ((2) not shown) in the direction of the entrance/exit 8a or 8C on the arrival platform side, and is positioned so that the luggage 3 can be unloaded easily and quickly. Further, the carry-in conveyor 7b also has an entrance 8 on the arrival platform side, similar to the carry-out conveyor 7a.
It is moved in the direction a or 8c, and is positioned so that the baggage 3 can be loaded easily and quickly. Immediately after the vehicle stops in this state, the carrying out conveyor 7a,
The conveyor 5 and the carry-in conveyor 7b are operated to carry the luggage 3 out of the vehicle from the carry-out conveyor 7a and the conveyor 5, and the luggage 3 outside the vehicle is loaded into the vehicle by the carry-in conveyor 7b and the conveyor 5. In this manner, after the loading and unloading work of the luggage 3 is completed, the loading/unloading conveyors 7a and 7b move toward the entrances and exits 8C and 8d on the opposite side of the passage section 9, as described above. This operation allows passage through the passage section 9 and the communication passage 1o. Note that when the arrival platform is on the opposite side of the passage section 9, the above operation is not performed.

After completing such a series of operations, the loaded baggage 3 is sorted by the device 6, that is, the stacker crane 4 and the conveyor 5, according to the destination data input when the baggage is brought in, and is stored in the baggage storage shelf 2. be done. moreover,
The stacker crane 4 performs the work of transferring the cargo 3 to be unloaded from the next station onto the conveyor 5.

According to such a configuration, the baggage 3 is automatically sorted, so it is quick and accurate, and the baggage 3 is also carried in and out through the entrances and exits 8a and 8b.

The loading/unloading conveyors 7a, 7b and the conveyor 5 are installed corresponding to the loading/unloading conveyors 8c and 8g, so that the loading and unloading can be carried out quickly. That is, a large amount of luggage 3 can be easily sorted and carried in and out. In addition, as mentioned above, the sorting work can be done quickly while the vehicle is running, and when the vehicle is stopped, the luggage can be sorted quickly.
Since the loading and unloading of vehicles is carried out, there is no impact on vehicle operation (and the characteristics of high-speed vehicles can be fully utilized).

Furthermore, as mentioned above, since the sorting and loading/unloading of the luggage 3 can be performed quickly and accurately, a large amount of luggage 3 can be handled.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, an example was explained in which a loading/unloading conveyor was used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the loading/unloading work can be carried out using a single conveyor, and the loading/unloading operation can be carried out after the loading/unloading operation. You may do so. Further, in the above-mentioned embodiments, a four-way system was described in which a conveyor was used as the carry-out means, and a stacker crane, a conveyor, and their control means were used as the sorting means, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the sorting may be carried out by using a carrier having a transfer device, or the sorting may be carried out by using the carrier as a means and an unloading means.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to
It is possible to quickly and accurately sort luggage and carry it in and out.
