Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an ageable cargo storage facility using rotating shelves.

Aging equipment is always present on assembly lines in the home appliance industry. Conventionally, this aging equipment is carried out on a conveyor or transferred to a trolley, but these methods waste three-dimensional space, the production tact is slow, and the aging time is long (there are many machines). It can be expensive in some cases. Therefore, recently, a format has been considered in which shelving devices such as those used in multi-level warehouses are provided and articles are stored in a plurality of divided storage spaces for aging. In this case, the problem is the operating cycle of the loading/unloading device with respect to the shelf device. That is, many accessory parts such as collectors for energizing are attached to the cargo receiving part of the divided storage space, and in order to avoid these parts, it is necessary to move the fork of the cargo loading/unloading device considerably. As a result, the operating cycle becomes longer, and the shelving system requires a space to allow the fork to move up and down, which increases the vertical height of the divided storage space and increases the overall size. become.

It is an object of the present invention to be able to shorten the operating cycle of a fork, i.e. a loading/unloading device;
Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an ageable cargo storage facility that can be constructed compactly as a whole.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a frame body having a plurality of cargo receiving sections in the vertical direction, and configures a rotating shelf by arranging a plurality of frame bodies movably along an elliptical path. A loading/unloading device is disposed opposite to the reversing path portion of the oval path, the loading/unloading device has a pair of left and right loading surfaces, and a feeder is provided at the back of the loading/unloading device. The pallet has a fork that can be inserted from the front side and can be raised and lowered, and is supported by both the receiving surfaces, and has a current collector plate that can be connected to the feeder, and an outlet that is connected to the current collector plate. has been established. According to this configuration, since aging can be performed on a rotating shelf, three-dimensional space can be used effectively, and when the production tact is slow and the aging time is long (large number of units), it can be made at a lower price. This is advantageous in production. In particular, according to the present invention, the fork can enter between both cargo receiving surfaces from the front side, and the feeder is provided in the deep part of the cargo receiving section.
The operating cycle of the fork can be determined regardless of the collector having the feeder, that is, the amount of lifting and lowering of the fork can be minimized, and the operating cycle can be shortened. Furthermore, by being able to reduce the amount of elevation of the fork, the height between the cargo receiving sections in the vertical direction can be reduced, and the overall structure can be made compact.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a rotating shelf, which includes a large number of frames 3 having a plurality of (three stages in the embodiment) cargo receiving sections 2 in the vertical direction, and an elliptical path 4 that connects these frames 3.
a drive device 5 disposed on the upper part for integral movement along the frame body 3; and wheels 6 attached to the lower part of the frame 3.
It consists of rails 7 placed on the floor to guide the traffic. Reference numeral 8 denotes a loading/unloading device disposed opposite to the reversing path portion of the oval path 4, which includes a pair of left and right columns 9 and a lifting frame 10 guided by these columns 9.
It is composed of a movable base 11 provided on this elevating frame 10 so as to be movable left and right, and a fork 12 provided on this movable base 11 so as to be movable back and forth. 13 is a loading conveyor, and 14 is a loading conveyor, which are arranged in parallel and connected to a main conveyor 15. 16
indicates load. This load 16 is, for example, shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
As shown in the figure, a pallet 17 and a test object 1 such as a facsimile placed on the pallet 17 are shown.
8, and a current collector plate 19 is attached to the lower surface of the pallet 17. Note that the current collector plate 19 is connected to the test object 18 via an outlet provided on the pallet 17.
It is configured so that it can be connected to. The cargo receiving section 2 has a pair of left and right cargo receiving surfaces 20a, 20b, and slope guide surfaces 21a, 21b extending obliquely upward from both ends of the cargo receiving surfaces 20a, 20b are formed to ensure that the pallet 17 is always in a fixed position. It is configured to be placed. A collector 23 having a feeder 22 is provided in the inner part of the cargo receiving section 2. This feeder 2
2, the current collector plate 19 of the pallet 17 can be connected to the current collector plate 19 of the pallet 17. The fork 12 has both load receiving surfaces 20
It becomes possible to enter between a and 20b from the front side.

First, the work of transporting the cargo 16 will be explained. Movable stand 11
facing the loading conveyor 13, and the fork 12
The load 16 on the loading conveyor 13 is pulled onto the movable platform 11 by the combined movement of the movement of the lift frame 10 and the lifting and lowering movement of the lift frame 10. Then, by the combination of the vertical movement of the lifting frame 10 and the movement of the fork 12 into and out, the load 16 on the fork 12 is moved to the empty load receiving section 2.
give it to In addition, the carrying out work is carried out by taking out the load 16 in the rotating shelf 1 onto the movable table 11 by performing the reverse operation to that described above.
This is done by moving the movable table 11 laterally to face the unloading conveyor 14. During such work, the forks 12 touch both load receiving surfaces 2.
Since it is possible to enter between 0a and 20b from the front side, and the feeder 22 is provided in the deep part of the cargo receiving part 2, the fork 12 can be raised and lowered without being affected by the collector 23, etc. , the amount of lifting and lowering is small, and the operating cycle can be shortened. Furthermore, being able to reduce the amount of elevation of the fork 12 means that the height between the load receiving sections 2 in the vertical direction can be reduced, and the rotating shelf 1 can be configured compactly. In addition, by arranging the feeder 22 at the back of the cargo receiving section 2, the feeder wire can be connected to the frame body 3.
By concentrating on the side, it will fit better. As described above, when the load 16 is carried into the load receiving section 2, the current collector plate 19 is automatically connected to the feeder 22, and the test object 18 is energized and aged.
