FIELD: warehouses.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to warehouses. Warehouse for sorting and storage of container cargoes contains multi-storey frame of warehouse in the form of rectangular parallelepiped, lining and cover. Frame is formed by vertical posts arranged in rows with constant pitch between rows and between vertical posts in each row, and horizontal beams forming warehouse floors. On the upper horizontal beams, which protrude beyond the dimensions of the parallelepiped of the frame, there is a crane moving in the horizontal plane along the guides. On the floors of the frame under the lifting crane there are receiving platforms protruding beyond the dimensions of the parallelepiped of the frame.

Description

The invention relates to construction and can be used to create a number of automated warehouses for various purposes.

Various variants of structures and structures for similar purposes are known from the prior art.

For example, from the source SU 613963 A1, published on 07/05/1978, a warehouse for storing goods in containers is known, which by its design is not convenient, occupies a large space and requires the use of a fairly large number of personnel for normal functioning.

This source of information was taken as the closest analogue to the claimed invention.

The objective of the claimed invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art.

The technical result to be achieved by the claimed invention is the maximum use of the internal space of the warehouse for storage and sorting, increasing its capacity, as well as reducing the warehouse staff.

The technical result is fully achieved by the set of features of the invention stated in the independent claim of the formula.

A warehouse for sorting and storing container cargo contains a multi-storey warehouse frame in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped, a lining and a lid. The warehouse frame is formed by vertical posts arranged in rows with a constant spacing between rows and between vertical posts in each row, and horizontal beams forming the floors of the warehouse floors. On the upper horizontal beams, which protrude beyond the dimensions of the parallelepiped of the warehouse frame, there is a crane moved in a horizontal plane along guides, and on the floors of the frame under the crane there are receiving platforms protruding beyond the dimensions of the parallelepiped of the warehouse frame. On horizontal beams with the possibility of raising and lowering relative to the upper level of the horizontal beams, transport rollers, grouped according to directions and territorial division, not rotating around a vertical axis, connected to drives, are installed. One group of transport rollers has a direction of rotation along the warehouse, and another group of transport rollers has a direction of rotation across the warehouse. Both groups of transport rollers are located throughout each floor of the warehouse in a checkerboard pattern.

Container cargo is moved along the warehouse floors on transport trolleys, which are moved using transport rollers, alternately raised above the upper level of horizontal beams.

The crane and transport rollers are controlled using software.

The claimed invention is further illustrated in more detail by drawings, in which:

Figure 1 shows the declared warehouse in general form.

Figure 2 shows the front view of the claimed warehouse.

Figure 3 shows a side view of the declared warehouse.

Figure 4 shows a fragment of the declared warehouse.

The claimed warehouse for sorting and storing container cargo is a spatial structure in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped, installed on a foundation containing vertical posts (1) and horizontal beams (2), forming the warehouse frame, as well as a cladding (3) and a roof (4). Horizontal beams (2) form the floors of the declared warehouse with a height sufficient for the passage of a transport trolley (5) with cargo (option: container) within one floor. Vertical posts (1) are arranged in rows with a constant pitch between the rows and a constant pitch in the row. The distances between the vertical risers (1) are designed to ensure free passage of transport trolleys (5) in two perpendicular directions. On the upper horizontal beams (2), which protrude beyond the dimensions of the parallelepiped of the warehouse structure, there is a crane (6) moved in a horizontal plane along guides, which ensures the capture of cargo (container) from, for example, a train, lifting it to the level of the required floor and moving it on a transport trolley (5), specially prepared and placed on the required floor for receiving cargo (container) on the receiving platform, which also protrudes beyond the dimensions of the parallelepiped of the warehouse structure, but at a smaller distance than the upper horizontal beams (2) on which the lifting tap (6).

Transport rollers (7) that cannot be rotated around a vertical axis are installed on the horizontal beams (2). Moreover, the transport rollers (7) are made interconnected in groups, and are designed to rise and fall above or below the upper level of the horizontal beams (2). In addition, the transport rollers (7) are located on horizontal beams (2) in such a way that one group ensures by its rotation the movement of the transport trolley (5) installed on them in one direction (along the warehouse floor), and the other group ensures by its rotation the movement of the installed on them the transport trolley (5) in the other direction (across the warehouse floor). The arrangement of groups of transport rollers (7) is carried out in a checkerboard pattern. Each group of transport rollers (7) is connected to the same drives, providing equal rotation and vertical movement of the transport rollers of one group.

The warehouse operates as follows (as an example, a shipping container is used as cargo in the application):

The required container storage location is set in advance on the central control panel using software, and the route and algorithm for its movement from the train to the storage location are also programmed.

Using a crane, the container is lifted to the level of the required warehouse floor and moved along the guide crane (6) to a transport trolley installed on the receiving platform. Next, the crane slings are disconnected and the crane begins lifting/lowering the next container. A transport cart with a container installed on it, according to a given algorithm, begins its movement inside the warehouse within one floor with the help of groups of transport rollers, alternately raised and lowered above the level of the horizontal beam of the corresponding floor, ensuring the movement of the transport cart either along the warehouse or across it. When the trolley with the container reaches the desired cell of the warehouse floor, it is installed and stored there until it is necessary to move it to another location or to move the container onto a train.

Return transportation of the container, if necessary, is carried out in the reverse order.

More than one crane can be located outside the dimensions of the warehouse frame parallelepiped, which simplifies and reduces the time for transporting containers from or to the train.

The declared warehouse can be used for standard forty-foot or twenty-foot shipping containers.

At the same time, for each container size, the arrangement of vertical racks inside the warehouse floor is different (for forty-foot containers the arrangement of vertical racks is one, and for twenty-foot containers - another), while within the same warehouse different floors can be designed for receiving, storing and sorting different types containers.

Thus, the declared warehouse design ensures maximum use of the internal space of the warehouse for storage and sorting, ensuring an increase in stored cargo, as well as a reduction in the number of service personnel.

The claimed invention is new, since the totality of its essential features is not known from the prior art, and, accordingly, meets the patentability condition of “novelty”.

The claimed invention meets the condition of patentability “inventive step”, since it does not clearly follow from the prior art for a specialist.

The claimed invention meets the patentability requirement of “industrial applicability” because it can be used in industry.

Although the present invention has been disclosed with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, this is not intended to limit the present invention, those skilled in the art may modify and practice the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, hence the scope of protection of the present invention. The invention must be governed by the scope specified in the claims.
