As a driving means, a drive sprocket 28 is attached to the output shaft 27a of the motor 27 which is free of forward and reverse rotation, and a driven sprocket fixed to the drive sprocket 28 and the horizontal shaft 17 is provided. In between 29, an ungrouped person 30 is wound up.

Therefore, when the motor 27 is rotated forward or reversely, the left and right rollerless groups 12 and 14 are rotated synchronously, and the first support arm 10 and the second support arm 11 rotate the chain ( The boxes 8 supported by 12 and 14 are pivotally driven along the elliptic trajectory as the upper and lower horizontal axes rotate while the bottom plate 8c is always horizontal as shown in FIG.

As shown in Fig. 4, the side rollers 12a and 14a provided in the middle half in the vertical direction of the left and right roller attaching groups 12 and 14 are guided by guide rails 31, respectively. The rail 31 is composed of a vertical channel member attached to the partition wall 5 in front, rear, and left and right pairs.

Between the opposing surfaces of the guide rails 31, the left and right outer surfaces of the box 32 are held, and these boxes 32 are provided with an open front end facing in the direction of the window hole 2.

On the frame 35 extending straight from the bottom of the box 32, a propeller 35 having a push arm 33 freely reciprocating in the front-rear direction and a motor 34 acting as driving means are attached. have.

37 is a spherical box-shaped container having an open upper surface, and is housed in the box 8 so as to freely move in and out of the box 8. The box 8 is configured to be pushed onto the shelf 3 by the propeller 35 at a position facing the window hole 2.

Furthermore, as in FIG. 2, the two vertical rotary lathe units 7 whose sides face each other are arranged symmetrically with respect to the partition wall 5, so that they are adjacent in the left and right direction. The first support arm 10 and the second support arm 11 of the boxes 8 and 8 are adjacent to each other.

In the vertical rotary storage cabinet having the structure as described above, in order to input data of any box into the operation unit 4a of the control means 4, a necessary box of the vertical rotary shelf unit 7 in the horizontal direction is placed ( 8) The motor 27 of the vertical rotating lathe unit 7 having the roller is rotated so that the rollerless groups 12 and 14 are rotated, and the necessary box 8 is horizontal as shown in FIG. It travels along an elliptical trajectory around and stops in front of the window hole 2.

Subsequently, the propeller 35 is operated so that the container 37 in the box 8 is pushed out by the push arm 33 onto the shelf 3. After the article in the container 37 is picked up, the container 37 is returned to the box 8 again.

In order to input the input from the operating table (control means) 4 not only with respect to one box 8 but also with a plurality of sequential numbers, a plurality of containers 37 are rotated at the same time by rotating the respective vertical rotary shelf units 7 respectively. ) Can be picked up.

In this first embodiment, the side walls of the box are supported at two points spaced apart in the front-rear direction by the first and second support arms, the first and second arms being pivotally connected to the first and second armless bodies. It is composed of a pair of links having a rear end, and these links have a V shape when viewed from the side, and the first and second non-members are spaced apart from each other in the front and rear directions.

Thus, the box cannot rotate about the horizontal axis, and the bottom plate is horizontal. Then, when the first and second non-members are synchronously rotated forward or reverse by the driving means, the box travels along the elliptical trajectory around the horizontal axis.

However, since the box is always kept horizontal, the goods in the box do not fall down during transportation. Now, unlike the first embodiment, a second embodiment of the present invention in which a box is guided by a guide arm will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9. Reference numeral 38 denotes a box, which is composed of a bottom plate 38a and side plates 38b and 38c provided at the left and right edges of the bottom plate, and forms a channel shape when viewed from the front.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the front-rear direction center part of the side plate 38b of the left side of the box 38 as seen from the window hole for picking up an article, the circle centered on the round hole 39 and the round hole 39 was centered. There are six attachment holes 40 formed in the column.

41 is a connecting shaft, which has a cylindrical shaft having a recess 41a on one end face thereof and a rectangular hole 41b extending laterally from the bottom of the recess 41a and serving as a rotation preventing engagement hole. 41c). A flange 42 is provided on the outer circumference of the end of the cylindrical shaft 41c, and six female screws 42a are drilled on the circumference of the flange 42.

The end of the connecting shaft 41 is fitted into the round hole 39 of the side plate 38b of the box 38, and is fixed to the box 38 by a screw 43.

The free ends of the two links 44a, 44b which intersect in a V-shape to form the support arm 44 are pivotally connected on the connecting shaft 41 through holes 45 formed therein. have.

The rear ends of each of the links 44a and 44b are pivotally connected to the uninitiated 48 by pins 46 and 47, as shown in FIG. 7, and likewise pivoted at both ends of the pins 46 and 47. It is guided by a pair of left and right guide rails 50 formed of a groove member through the connected roller 49.

Reference numeral 51 is a guide arm, and a rectangular protrusion 52 having a female screw 52a is formed on one side surface 51a of the proximal end thereof. This protrusion 52 is inserted into the rectangular hole 41b of the connection shaft 41 mentioned above, and is fastened to the washer 53 and the fixing bolt 54 from the inside of the box 38. As shown in FIG. Thus, the guide arm 51 is fixed in an inclined state at an angle of 45 degrees upward with respect to the front surface of the box 38.

On the other side 51b of the free end of the guide arm 51, a roller 55 which can rotate around a horizontal axis is pivotally connected. The roller 55 is comprised so that the cross section may guide to the left rail 56 which forms a channel shape.

Although the connecting shaft 41, the support arm 44, and the guide arm 51 'mentioned above are provided in the side plate 38c on the right side of the box 38, only the guide arm 51' is electric. It is inclined rearward upward at a 45 degree angle with one guide arm 51. The roller 55 is guided by the right rail 57 having a channel shape in cross section.

As shown in FIG. 9, around the sprockets 59 and 60 installed in the hollow case 58 in a pair of upper and lower pairs, an unmanned member 48 for transporting the box 38 through the support arm 44 is wound. have. The lower sprocket 60 is rotated by the control means (not shown) which consists of a motor and a control apparatus.

The left guide rail 56 cuts out the upper front part and the lower back part to form an oval shape when viewed from the side, and is composed of four groove members 56a, 56b, 56c, and 56d, which are combined with each other in front and rear. .

In particular, the lower end of the front upper groove member 56a is connected to the front lower groove member 56b having an inverted J-shaped cross section through a gap 61 which is a joint. In addition, an upper end of the short straight rear groove member 56c is connected to the rear upper groove member 56d having a J-shaped cross section through a gap 62 which is a seam.

The right guide rail 57 is also composed of four groove members 57a, 57b, 57c and 57d, which are combined with each other in front and rear, so that the upper front and lower rear corners are cut out to form a more elliptical shape on the side surface. This shape forms a line symmetry with the left guide rail 56. The guide rails 57 are provided below the guide rails 56 at intervals between the front and rear rollers 55 for guiding the box 38.

Then, the gap 61 of the joint of the left guide rail 56 and the gap 62 'of the joint of the right guide rail 57 are the gap 62 of the left guide rail 56 and the right guide rail 57. Are moved in the vertical direction with respect to the gap 61 '. In such a device, the rollers 55 before and after guiding the box 38 do not simultaneously pass through the gap 61 and the gap 62 'or the gap 62 and the gap 61'.

As described above, in the second embodiment of the present invention, each box is guided by a pair of left and right support arms pivotally connected to the base 48 at its base end. Therefore, there is an advantage that the turning running of the box is more stable.

Since the guide arm is connected to the box via a connecting shaft pivotally supporting the free end of the support arm, assembly is simplified.

Moreover, since the position of the seam gap on the guide rail is vertically moved up and down between the left and right guide rails, there is an advantage that it does not interfere with the passage of the roller even if the gap of the seam is widened in order to tighten the unmanned group.

In the above-described embodiments, the rotary shelf units are collectively controlled by a control means having a keyboard or the like, but the table of each rotary shelf unit can be controlled individually for each rotary shelf unit. It is also possible to provide an operation section on the exit.

And an article can be stored in a box, without using the separate container supported by the box. The non-member who supports the box may be formed by connecting the link pieces instead of the attachment chain provided with the side rollers and separately providing the guide means for the box. Furthermore, instead of supporting the box shown in the first embodiment with a pair of left and right support arms, it is also possible to constitute a cantilever structure in which a support arm is provided only on one side of the left or right side.

In the present invention, since a series of boxes that rotate and rotate around a horizontal axis is arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction with respect to the shelf plate, and each of the rotary shelves is driven independently, the power for driving the boxes is reduced.

The search speed can also be increased, and a large number of boxes can be selected at one time.
