DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention provides reliable consignment (consignment receiving) for cargo to be transported to residents of high-rise buildings such as apartments, condominiums, multi-tenant buildings, etc. even when the occupants are away from home. The present invention relates to a delivery baggage acceptance and storage device that stores delivery baggage in lockers on each floor.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

In recent years, more and more housewives are working part-time or living alone, so they are often away from their apartments or condominiums during the day.

On the other hand, with the expansion of logistics systems, the number of items delivered to individuals (for example, home deliveries, foodstuffs, and books) is increasing, which has created problems in consignment and storage of items.

In other words, in the past, managers of apartments and condominiums entrusted and managed delivery items on behalf of residents, but currently,
There is a lot of thought involved, and there is a risk that various troubles may occur when delivering foodstuffs that are easily corroded after being entrusted to the resident on behalf of the resident.

The present invention provides a delivery baggage acceptance and storage device for the purpose of:

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention provides a hoistway with a hoisting device, a plurality of lockers arranged in a row on each floor beside the hoistway, a container that can be inserted into and removed from each of the lockers, and a car of the hoistway that is self-propelled. The container is provided so as to accommodate a freely movable transport vehicle, and the container is mounted on the transport vehicle.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 7, reference numeral 1 denotes a hoistway provided in a high-rise building, and beside this hoistway 1, a plurality of floors 2a, 2b, . . . 2n are provided. An operation panel 3 is attached to the side wall of the first floor 2a. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, this operation panel 3 includes, for example, ■, a card reader 3a for inserting a C card or a magnetic card, an operation key 3b for calling each container 5 to be reached, time, product name, etc. A printer 3C that prints the delivery company name, delivery destination, etc., and a lifting device 6 and transport vehicle 12, which will be described later.
A control device 3d and a system device 3e are provided (see FIG. 7). Further, on the second floor 2b and the n-th floor 2n, lockers 4 corresponding to the number of households of residents are stacked and arranged in rows, and the j of the front of each locker 4 is stacked in rows.
As shown in FIG. 6, the closed door 1 is provided with a light 4a and a keyhole 4b for inventory confirmation using the operation panel, and a container 5 is inserted into the back of each locker 4. An insertion port 4C is formed.

On the other hand, in the hoistway 1, a lifting device ``116'' such as an elevator is installed. That is, this lifting device 6 has a pair of upper and lower parts 117.8 with hanging loaves 9 wrapped around them. However, this hanging lobe 9 is provided with a car 10 and a weight (balance weight) 11, and the pulley 7 is connected to, for example, a hoist n (not shown).

Therefore, the car 10 of the elevator device 6 can be raised or lowered from the first wA floor 2a to the called floor based on the command of the called floor.

On the other hand, the car 10 is provided with a transport vehicle 12 to accommodate it, and the transport vehicle 12 automatically travels like a robot and loads and unloads the containers 5 from the locker 4. I'm starting to get it.

Therefore, now, when the carrier inserts the card into the card reader 3a and presses the desired call operation key 3b,
The car 10 of the elevator device 6 rises to a predetermined floor, for example, the n-th floor 2n, and stops based on the command from the called floor, and then the transport vehicle 12 in the car 10 After automatically loading the container 5 in the predetermined locker 4,
Again, this conveyance vehicle 12 is garaged in the carriage 10. Then, the carriage 10 of the elevating device 6 descends to the first floor 2a and stops.

Next, the carrier transports the container 5 in the car 10.
By putting an object to be transported into the carriage and driving the lifting device 6, the car 10 rises to the n-th floor 2n and stops.
Thereafter, the transport vehicle 12 in the car 10 stores the container 5 containing the goods to be delivered into a predetermined locker 4. As a result, the illumination light 4a attached to the opening/closing door of the locker 4 is turned on.

The transport vehicle 12 that has finished storing the container 5 is placed in the car 10 in the garage.

On the other hand, the printer 3C of the operation panel 3 prints the time, product name, delivery company name, delivery destination, etc., and receives this as a receipt.

The block diagram shown in FIG. 7 is a system diagram of the present invention, and the control panel 3 of the present invention is connected to an information communication N13 such as an alarm, a telephone exchange, a timer, etc. The information communicator 13 may be able to immediately contact the consignee.

On the other hand, although the above lockers 4 have been described as ordinary storages, for example, if they are of the type that also stores perishables, the design of each of the above lockers 4 can be changed to a freezer or a refrigerator. be.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the hoistway 1 is provided with the hoisting device 6, and each floor 2b, .
A plurality of lockers 4 are arranged in a row in n, and a container 5 is provided in each locker 4 so as to be freely inserted and removed, and the car 1 of the lifting device 6 is
0 to accommodate a self-propelled conveyor 12,
Since the container 5 is mounted on the transport vehicle 12, it has excellent effects such as not only being able to reliably deliver the goods to the resident even when the resident is away, but also being able to safely store the goods. .
