DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a three-dimensional article storage device, and more particularly, to a three-dimensional article storage device that can be used as a multi-level parking lot, automated warehouse, etc.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, stacker crane type and merry-go-round type ring systems have been proposed as three-dimensional article storage systems such as multi-story parking lots and automated warehouses. There were problems in that the quantity was small and the storage and transport thereof lacked promptness.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and its purpose is to increase the storage capacity of articles relative to the floor area, measure the effectiveness of the site, and The objective is to improve workability during storage, storage, and removal.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention has been made to achieve the above-mentioned object, and is a structure in which a multilayer storage shelf is provided in which at least two rails are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction. A dolly is disposed and a space is formed in which at least one movable dolly can move, a lifter movable along the traveling direction of the movable dolly is disposed on the upper part of the structure, and the lifter It is an object of the present invention to provide a three-dimensional article storage device provided with a hanging device that is movable in the vertical direction within the structure.

In the multilayer structure of the present invention, at least two rails are laid in each layer, and the movable cart can be moved using these rails.

The space between the rails and the beams constituting the structure is larger than the external size of an article, for example, a container, to be placed on the moving trolley, and is configured to allow the container to be suspended in the space surrounded by the rails and the beams. ing. Therefore, containers can be lifted and lowered in any span.

Mobile carts for transporting containers are installed on each layer.
A space for at least one vehicle is provided as a space in which this movable trolley can move.

The movable carts are configured so that they can be connected to each other, and preferably any connecting portion can be attached or detached by remote control.

The carriages do not themselves have a drive for movement; each layer is provided with at least one drive, by means of which the connected carriages can be moved.

The movable trolley can be driven by, for example, providing a rank on the movable trolley and driving it by meshing a pinion with it, pressing it with a cylinder device, or engaging the movable trolley with a locking device provided on a rotating chain or rope. There are various driving means, such as a method in which the moving truck is pushed by extending and contracting a pantograph-type telescoping arm, and a method in which a pantograph-type telescoping arm is extended and contracted to push the mobile cart.

A lifter for hanging a container or the like is provided on the structure, and this lifter can move over the entire length of the moving carriage.

When the container is hung by this lifter, there is a possibility that the container will shake, but in order to prevent this, it is preferable to provide a guide member for the container between each layer. This guide member has a structure that allows the container to be suspended while allowing the moving cart to move in the lateral direction.

Normally, it is best to provide one lifter and move it laterally according to the arrangement of the rails, but in order to quickly load and unload cargo, it is also possible to provide a lifter in each row.

If the operator is responsible for operating the lifter and moving cart,
This may be done fully or semi-automatically, but is not limited to this.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the three-dimensional article storage device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9.

FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of the three-dimensional article storage device A, FIG. 2 is a view taken along the line A--A in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged plan view thereof.

The three-dimensional article storage device A is composed of a structure 2 having multiple storage shelves 1, a movable cart 3 placed on the storage shelves 1, and a lifter 4 that moves on the structure 2.

To be more specific, the structure 2 is composed of a large number of columns 5 and a cross beam 6 that connects the six columns 5, and is provided with a carrying-out population E and, if necessary, an outer wall, a roof, etc. Inside this structure 2, storage shelves 1 each having at least two rails 7 (four rails are provided in this embodiment) supported by cross beams 6 are arranged in multiple layers. A plurality of movable carts 3 having wheels 8 are disposed on this rail 7, and each movable cart 3 is configured to be connectable and detachable by means of a connector 9.

At least one of the movable carts 3 is provided with a rank 10 as shown in FIG.
A pinion 12 attached to the structure 2 side and rotated by a drive device 11 meshes with the pinion 1. A space S is formed so that the movable cart 3 placed on the rail 7 can move by at least one car.

A rail 13 is laid on the upper part of the structure 2, and a lifter 4 is arranged to run on the rail 13 along the moving direction of the movable cart 3.

This lifter 4 is configured to further move on the girder 13 and onto the adjacent storage shelf 1, and the lifter 4 moves vertically within the section H formed by the rail 7 and the cross beam 6.
is provided.

Next, a case will be described in which the article C (for example, a container) currently placed on the movable cart 3 on the storage shelf 1 on the second floor in FIG. 1 is carried out in the above configuration.

First, move the lifter 4 in the direction of arrow F to position it above the article C, and remove the movable dolly 3b on the movable dolly 3a on which the article C is mounted and the dolly on the right side of it, and remove the connector 9 on the left side of the dolly 3b. Move it in the G direction.

The article C is then hoisted up by the hoist 14 as shown in FIG. Then, after lifting the article C to the bottom of the lifter 4, the moving cart 3b and the cart on the right side thereof are moved again to the original position (in this case, the left connector of the cart 3b is reconnected), and Move Rifuku 4 in the J direction. Thereafter, the article C is lowered and transferred to the exporter E as shown in FIG. Of course, when transporting, this process can be done in reverse.

FIGS. 7 to 9 show a second embodiment, in which the export population E is provided in all the bottom rows.

To explain the case of carrying out the article C' in this embodiment, first, the lifter 4a is moved in the direction of the arrow F in FIG. Move in the direction of the arrow.

In this state, a space is formed above the article C' to allow the hanger 14 to move up and down.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the hoist 14 is lowered, the article C° is slightly lifted, and the moving trolley 3a is moved in the direction of the arrow as shown in FIG. That's what I do.

Although the above two embodiments have been described, the present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention.

That is, if each movable trolley 3 is provided with a drive device, the connector 9 is not necessary, and the storage shelves may be arranged in one row or in multiple rows.
In the case of multiple rows, each row can have one lifter 4, and it is clear that these can be selected as necessary.

In the above embodiment, an example in which a lifter is provided directly on the storage shelf has been described, but the same effect can be obtained even if a gate type crane with a lifter is installed across the storage shelf. This type of three-dimensional article storage device can be effectively utilized in a three-dimensional storage device for container yards.
