Description of the Invention: [Technical Field to Which the Invention Is Ascribed] The present invention relates to an automatic warehouse, and in particular to an automatic warehouse having contamination of stored articles. [Prior Art] In an automatic warehouse that stores items such as semiconductors and FPDs (flat-panel-displayed dust), it is known that air is sucked from the lower part of the conveyance, and after being processed through a filter, it is circulated from the inside (Patent Document 1: JPH06-24507A). The external clean air is known to be taken into the space on the back side of the carrier in the automatic bin introduction hole - the order of the exhaust port in the lower part of the walking space is shifted to JP2817605B). In these automatic warehouses, the inside flows downward, and flows from the back space side of the carrier in the carrier. If the transport device is walking, it will be compressed in the direction of travel. And there is a negative air flow behind the walking direction. These are disclosed in Patent Document 3: JP2009. The amount of air supplied to the carrier from the front of the traveling direction of the transport device and the amount of exhausted air from the walking space are clearly viewed as being in the upper part of the walking space. The present invention has been completed while being compressed while the handling device is being emptied. The back side of the carrier that avoids the walking space of the ash device, such as the prevention of dust, is directed toward the carrier. In order to use the upper part of the automatic library to set the air and move it according to the carrier β (Patent Document 2: The air flow is the forward air (environment) pressure toward the front side of the traveling space surface side, and the result is 1 84776Α, and crosses. The rear range makes it the largest. However, the repellent air without air easily penetrates into the carrier.

(Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention is an automatic warehouse provided with a carrier having a plurality of facades along a traveling space of the conveying device, and is provided from the back side of the carrier toward the side of the traveling space The air supply path for supplying the clean gas and the first exhaust path for exhausting the lower portion of the traveling space are characterized in that a second exhaust path is provided in an upper portion of the traveling space. The clean gas may be, for example, clean air, but may be a nitrogen gas or the like. The second exhaust passage may be exhausted from time to time, or may be exhausted only when the air pressure is increased in the upper portion of the traveling space. When the transport device travels in the walking space, the air is compressed in front of the traveling direction, so the pressure is removed. In particular, since there is no air retreat space in the upper part of the walking space, air easily enters the carrier. When the air is exhausted from the upper and lower sides of the traveling space, the air pressure in the traveling space is kept lower than the air pressure in the carrier, so that the backflow of the air from the traveling space to the carrier can be surely prevented. Further, in this specification, the exhaust pressure means the portion of the air pressure generated by the compression of the air, and the air pressure means the static pressure. Preferably, the second exhaust passage in the upper portion of the traveling space is disposed along the traveling direction of the transporting device, and includes a plurality of dampers corresponding to the opening and closing of the air pressure in the traveling space. In this case, if the air pressure is increased by -6 - 201219725 in the upper part of the walking space, the damper can be automatically opened to increase the displacement. Preferably, the second exhaust passage in the upper portion of the traveling space is disposed along the traveling direction of the transport device, and includes a plurality of fans that change the displacement amount in accordance with the position and the moving direction of the transport device. In this case, since the position and the moving direction of the conveying device are easily understood, the increase in the air pressure in the upper portion of the traveling space can be reduced until the exhaust gas amount increases. The inventors have found that air at the end of the walking space is particularly susceptible to intrusion into the carrier because there is no air retreat space. Here, in at least one end portion of the traveling space, the exhausting ability per unit length from the traveling space in the traveling direction of the conveying device is higher than the intermediate portion of the traveling space. In this way, air can be prevented from entering the carrier at the end of the walking space. The inventors used a number of simulations to investigate the airflow in the automatic warehouse, and confirmed that by providing an exhaust passage above and below the walking space, it is possible to more reliably prevent contamination of articles in the carrier. It is also confirmed that contamination of the end portion of the end portion can be prevented by increasing the exhausting power in the end portion of the walking space. Further reducing the reduced model of the automated warehouse of the embodiment 'by visualizing the airflow. And it is confirmed that the same result as the digital simulation can be obtained. Preferably, the exhaust means is provided in at least one end portion of the walking space. Preferably, the plurality of dampers are composed of a movable portion that is openable and closable about the opening and closing axis, and an elastic body that urges the movable portion toward the closing side. Preferably, the plurality of dampers are: a sensor 201219725 that detects a difference between a pressure inside the walking space and a pressure outside the automatic warehouse, and a movable portion that can be opened and closed around the opening and closing axis. And a motor that opens and closes the movable portion by the signal of the sensor. Further, the present invention is a method for controlling an automatic warehouse, which is provided with a carrier having a plurality of facades along a traveling space of the conveying device, and is provided with: supplying clean gas from the back side of the carrier toward the side of the traveling space The air supply path for use and the first exhaust path for exhausting the lower portion of the traveling space are characterized in that the second exhaust path is provided in the upper portion of the traveling space to prevent the height of the upper portion of the carrier. The air pressure in the walking space is cooler than the air pressure in the carrier. Preferably, at least one end portion of the traveling space is prevented from being on the carrier by making the exhausting ability per unit length of the traveling space in the traveling direction higher than the intermediate portion of the traveling space. The air pressure in at least one of the walking spaces is higher than the air pressure in the carrier. The preferred embodiment for carrying out the invention is shown below. The scope of the present invention is determined by the description of the scope of the claims and the description of the specification and well-known techniques in the field, and is determined according to the understanding of the industry. [Embodiment] In the first to ninth drawings, the automatic warehouse 2 of the embodiment and its modifications are shown. In each of the figures, 4 is a walking space, and a carrier 6 is provided on the left and right sides or on the left and right sides, and the carrier 6 is an assembly of individual sheds 22 and 23. Further, in the carrier 6, a processing device 8 of a flat panel display (FPD), a processing device for a semiconductor, or the like may be connected. For example, the traveling rail 10 is provided in the walking space 4, and the tower crane 12 as a conveying device travels. Further, in 201219725, instead of the tower crane 12, an arbitrary transport device such as an automated guided vehicle or a railroad car is used, and the traveling direction is the longitudinal direction of Fig. 1. The automatic warehouse 2 is airtight except for the exhaust devices 34 and 40, the exhaust port 38, and the like. The tower crane 12 is provided with a lifting platform 18 that moves up and down along the carriage 14 and the column 16 and the column 16. The lifting platform 18 is provided with a planar articulated robot arm for transferring a cassette 20 such as an FPD. ), a transfer device such as a sliding fork. A plurality of sheds 22, 23 are provided in the carrier 6, and the shed 23 is a shed at the end of the carrier 6, in other words, a shed at the end of the walking space 4. Here, the shed is a space that becomes a unit for storing articles, and is also called a facade. In the back sides of the carriers 6, 6 which are seen from the walking space 4, air supply passages 24, 24 are provided. For example, fan filters 26 are provided in the sheds 22, 23, respectively, and the air from the air supply passage 24 is treated as clean. The air is supplied to the sheds 22, 23. In the examples, the articles to be stored are cassettes such as FPDs or semiconductors, but the types of articles are arbitrary. Although the air in the storage cassette 20 is clean air, a nitrogen gas or the like may be used. Further, the automatic warehouse 2 is used under partially clean conditions, and the exterior of the automatic warehouse 2 does not necessarily need to be cleaned. However, the outside of the automatic warehouse 2 is also a clean environment. 30 is a controller for managing the automatic warehouse 2, specifically, for the tower crane 12 to give instructions for walking, lifting, and moving articles, and to carry the cassette 20 between the designated shed and the shed. Further, in addition to the sheds 22 and 23, a platform that is an entrance and exit to the outside of the automatic warehouse 2 may be provided. And the controller 30 is managed: the current position and movement of the tower crane 12

The amount of air supplied to the carrier 6 is also fixed. The supply and exhaust to the walking space 4 will be described below. 32 of Fig. 2 to Fig. 6 are the ceilings of the automatic warehouse 2, and an exhaust device 34 is provided in the ceiling 32 at least in the upper portion of the traveling space 4, and is exhausted from the traveling space 4 to the outside. Further, a fan 36 is provided at the bottom of the carrier 6, and the air 'under the lower portion of the traveling space 4 is circulated toward the air supply path 24, and a part is exhausted from the exhaust port 38 toward the outside of the automatic warehouse 2. It is also possible to set the fan 3 6 without setting it. For example, the air in the lower portion of the walking space 4 is introduced to the side of the air supply path 24 by the fan filter unit 26, and the air is exhausted from the lower portion of the traveling space 4. The air from the exhaust unit 34 is also purified by a filter or the like, and may be circulated toward the air supply path 24. Further, the set of exhaust devices 34 is the second exhaust passage, and the set of pairs of the fan 36 and the exhaust port 38 is the first exhaust passage. Further, as shown in Fig. 1, an exhaust port 39 may be provided on the bottom surface of the walking space 4 for exhausting. In principle, the fan filter unit 26 is provided in each of the sheds 22. However, if a relatively small article such as a semiconductor cassette is stored, a fan filter unit 26 may be provided for each shed. That is, the fan filter assembly 26 is provided without the need for each of the sheds 22, 23. The length of the tower crane 12 is longer than the length of the cassette 20 along the traveling direction. Therefore, a space which does not face the shed 23 is generated at both ends of the walking space 4, and it is preferable to provide the venting means 40 in this space. Further, the exhaust unit 40 is provided at least at the end of the walking space 4, preferably at both ends. Instead of providing the exhaust device 40, the position of the shed 23 at the end of the walking space 4 - 10 - 201219725 allows the exhaust device 34 and the fan 36 to have a higher capacity than the middle portion of the walking space. can. Regardless of the situation, the position of the shed 23 allows the fan filter assembly 26 to provide a higher gas supply capacity than the position of the shed 22. In the second to sixth figures, the arrow of the outer frame word indicates the flow of the clean air or the air that has been processed by the exhaust device 34, and the arrow of the additional hatching indicates that there is a possibility of contamination in the walking space 4. The flow of air. The flow of air in the intermediate portion of the walking space 4 is as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. When the tower crane 12 moves from the left to the right of Fig. 4, the air is compressed and the pressure is removed in front of the traveling direction. In contrast, a negative pressure occurs behind the one tower crane 12. The pressure and the negative pressure are the largest in the front and rear of the trolley 14, and also increase in the front and rear of the lifting platform 18, and are slightly smaller at the other positions. Although the clean air in the shed 22 is supplied from the fan filter unit, the air in the traveling space 4 is intruded into the shed 22 if the pressure is higher than the air pressure of the clean air. In particular, when the exhaust unit 34 is not provided, the air pressure in the upper portion of the traveling space 4 increases, and the cassette 20 in the shed 22 has the possibility of being contaminated. For example, if the airflow from the middle portion of the walking space 4 toward the upper portion or the wave of the air occurs, the airflow is blocked in the portion of the ceiling, and the dynamic pressure is converted into static pressure to increase the air pressure, and the airflow is increased toward the shed 22. . In this regard, in the embodiment, the air in the traveling space 4 is exhausted from the lower fan 36 and the upper exhaust unit 34. Therefore, the impenetrable airflow or the wave of the impassable air does not occur, and the increase in local air pressure in the traveling space 4 is suppressed. As a result, the air in the walking space will not

The same is true for the shed 23 at the end. A negative pressure is generated behind the traveling direction of the tower crane 12, and the negative pressure itself does not contaminate the contents of the shed 22, but in the process of negative pressure digestion, a disordered airflow occurs, and the air in the walking space 4 follows. This intrinsic shed 22 is inside. Here, after the traveling direction of the tower crane 12, the amount of air supplied to the shed 22 is increased so that the negative pressure is rapidly dissipated, and the turbulent airflow is generated by the fan 36 and the upper exhaust device when the negative pressure is extinguished. 34 exhaust. Therefore, similarly to the front in the traveling direction, the air in the traveling space 4 can be prevented from intruding into the sheds 22 and 23 at the rear. The above can be said in other words as follows. The condition for preventing air from entering the walking space 4 toward the sheds 22, 23 is such that the air pressure in the sheds 22, 23 is always higher than the air pressure in the traveling space 4. Here, by exhausting both the fan 36 at the lower portion of the traveling space 4 and the exhaust device 34 at the upper portion, the air pressure is locally increased in the upper portion or the lower portion of the traveling space, and the air pressure in the sheds 22 and 23 is always higher than The air pressure in the walking space 4 is higher. Further, in the traveling direction of the tower crane 12, the amount of air supplied to the sheds 22 and 23 is increased to eliminate the negative pressure, and the turbulent airflow at the time of absorbing the negative pressure is exhausted by the fan 36 and the upper exhaust unit 34. Fig. 6 shows a problem specific to the shed 23 at the end. Further, in the embodiment, since the cassette 20 of the FPD is stored, the meaning of the character is only the object of the most shed 23, but in the case of a small article such as a semiconductor cassette, 2 near the end. The same processing is applied to the field of the number of facades. When the tower crane 12 travels from left to right in Fig. 6, the air at the end in the walking space 4 is compressed. It is different from the central part of the walking space 4, -12-201219725, and there is no retreat space for compressed air in the end. Therefore, the pressure change is high. On the other hand, if the tower crane 12 is moved from the right to the left of Fig. 6, the air at the end portion is rapidly expanded to generate a strong negative pressure. As described above, at the end of the walking space 4, the influence by the movement of the tower crane 12 is more remarkable. Here, for example, the shed 23 of the end portion makes the exhausting capacity of the exhaust unit 34 and the fan 36 higher. Alternatively, an exhaust device 40 is provided at both ends of the walking space 4 to exhaust the compressed air. Here, it is necessary to make the exhausting ability per unit length in the traveling direction of the tower hoist 12 higher than the intermediate portion of the traveling space 4. Further, in addition to the above, in the shed 23 of the end portion, the air supply capability from the fan filter unit is also higher than that of the shed 22 in the intermediate portion. In the seventh to ninth drawings, examples of the exhaust devices 34 and 40 are shown. In the exhaust unit 35 of Fig. 7, a filter 43 is provided on the side of the traveling space 4, and a fan 44 is provided on the side of the external space 42, and the fan 44 is controlled by a control signal from the controller. In this way, the position of the crane, the traveling direction and the traveling speed, the position of the lifting platform 18, the lifting direction, and the ascending speed are controlled in accordance with this, and the amount of air blown from the fan 44 is controlled to control the amount of exhaust. These data are known to the controller so that the amount of exhaust can be quickly controlled. The function of the filter 43 is to remove contaminants when the outside air is invaded from between the fins and the fins of the fan when the fan 44 is stopped. Therefore, when the baffle or the like is added to the fan 44, the filter 43 is not required to be provided. The exhaust unit 40 may be configured similarly to the exhaust unit 35, but the exhaust unit 40 may reversibly rotate the fan 44 when the tower crane is separated from the end.
