玻璃的處理裝置。並且，沿著運送路徑運送未加工的平板 玻璃，以設置在運送路徑各部的處理裝置依序施以加工處 理。 顯示上述運送系統的一例有如顯示日本專利文獻1的 技術。 〔專利文獻1〕 曰本特開2002-255338號公報 【發明內容】 〔發明所欲解決的課題〕 專利文獻1表示的技術中’沿著運送路徑運送的物品 即是平板玻璃。但是，平板玻璃一旦增大時會增加本身重 量，而會在平板玻璃與運送裝置的接觸部造成平板玻璃本 身的損傷等問題。 -4- 1287528 (2) 另一方面，爲了防止以上問題的發生，不只是運送平 板玻璃，同時必須考慮將平板玻璃收納容器等的保護箱內 的狀態，投入上述運送路徑等。但是，平板玻璃供給處理 裝置時，從容器取出平板玻璃的同時，處理後必須再次沿 著運送路徑運送而預先保管容器。即須具備將平板玻璃從 容器取出用的手段，及保管容器用的手段。 另外，一旦爲了確保容器的保管空間，會導致運送系統 整體設置空間的大型化。並且，即使只運送平板玻璃時， 必須要從運送路徑以至處理裝置間的移送手段，因此兼用 作爲移送手段及將平板玻璃從容器取出用的手段，即可防 止平板玻璃取出手段造成設置空間的增大。因此本發明即 使是將平板玻璃收納容器內的狀態下運送的運送系統，可 以根據對處理裝置供給等的必要，只從容器中取出平板玻 璃。並可抑制容器保管空間增大等爲本發明的追加課題。 〔解決課題用的手段〕 本發明所要解決的課題是如上述，其次說明解決課題 用的手段如下。 即，申請專利範圍第1項爲運送收納1張板狀物的容 器的運送系統，具備：逐一運送容器的運送機；在處理板 狀物的處理裝置與容器之間進行板狀物移載的移載裝置； 及可層疊已將板狀物朝處理裝置供給後之容器並加以保管 的容器保管手段，

如電子顯示器（液晶顯示器或電漿顯示器等）用的平板玻璃 ，但也可以是有機EL用的樹脂板等的板狀物。 容器2的運送手段爲運送機4，將運送機4· 4…（第 1圖僅圖是其中之一）以直線形連結，構成運送路徑。 如第2圖所示，運送機4，具備：支撐容器2的同時運 送的多數個輥子1 3 ;收納輥子1 3的驅動傳達機構的本體 4a;及運送方向的左右端豎設在本體4a上的導件4b · 4b… 。並且，本體4a利用支撐腳4c · 4c···，支撐在底面上方。 多數個輥子1 3構成沿著運送方向等間隔配置輥子列 的同時’輥子列在運送方向的左右形成複數列（本實施形 爲二列）¾置。並且’運送機4上運送的容器2是以運 送方向的左右與中央支撐。 本體4a具備作爲各輥子1 3的驅動手段的馬達，藉皮 帶或滑輪寺的驅動傳達手段驅動各輕子1 3。 並且’藉者豎設在運送機4兩側的導件4b· 4b··.， 可防止容器2從運送機4脫落。另外，運送機4中對後述 處理裝置5側的傳遞部份爲不設置導件4b的構成。並且 1287528 · (5) ，後述的移載裝置8可利用運送機4上的容器將平板玻璃 1朝著直向側方取出。 如第1圖表示，利用運送系統100的工廠內，在運送 路徑（運送機4)的側方，沿著運送機4配置有平板玻璃1 的處理裝置5· 5…（第1圖中僅圖示一個）。處理裝置5具 備未圖示的處理部，及平板玻璃朝著該處理部出入庫用的 工作站6。工作站6分別設置一對將平板玻璃1放入處理 裝置5用的入庫台6a，及相同出庫用的出庫台6b。入庫 台6a · 6a及出庫台6b · 6b沿著運送機4設置形成一列。 處理裝置5利用處理裝置5內部具備的移載手段7將 載置在入庫台6a上的平板玻璃1移載至上述處理部進行 加工處理。另外，處理裝置5在處理結束時，再次利用移 載手段7，將處理後的平板玻璃1移載至出庫台6b。 又，運送系統100在處理裝置5的工作站6與運送機 4上的容器2之間設有進行平板玻璃1的移載用的移載裝 置8。 移載裝置8在本實施形態中具備行駛台車9，形成沿 著運送機4往返行駛的履帶式，同時具備水平多關節型的 機械手10。機械手10藉著相對於行駿台車9升降的升降 台1 1，及相對於升降台1 1旋轉的旋轉台1 2設置。並且 ’形成機械手1 0可相對於行駛台車9升降及旋轉。 升降台11藉著設置在移載裝置8內的馬達等升降驅 動’相同的旋轉台12同樣藉著設置在移載裝置8內的馬 達等旋轉驅動。並且，以升降台1 1及驅動用的馬達或驅 -8- (6) 1287528 動傳達機構等構成機械手10的升降手段。又，以旋轉台 12及驅動用的馬達或驅動傳達機構等構成機械手的旋 轉手段。 此外，移載裝置8的各動作，即形成以行駛台車9的 行駛驅動，根據升降手段對升降台1 1的升降驅動，根據 旋轉手段對旋轉台1 2的旋轉驅動，機械手i 〇的伸縮驅動 在移載裝置8上具備的控制裝置（未圖示）控制。 機械手10是如上述形成水平多關節型，構成可相對 於旋轉台12伸縮。伸縮的機械手1〇的（旋轉台12與相反 側的）前端部，設有物品載置用叉架1 〇 a，叉架1 0 a可相對 於旋轉台12進退移動。 在此，首先槪略說明移載裝置8進行移載作業的樣態 如下。 移載裝置8行駛至應移載平板玻璃1載置於入庫台 6a或出庫台6b之前爲止，使叉架l〇a進出平板玻璃1的 下側，利用上述升降手段使叉架1 0a上升將平板玻璃1提 起。並且，在載置提起後的平板玻璃1時，行駛至載置平 板玻璃的入庫台6a或出庫台6b之前爲止，朝著該等載置 台使叉架l〇a下降，將平板玻璃1支撐在該等載置台上。 並且，在此狀態下更使得叉架1 0a下降，將平板玻璃1與 叉架l〇a分開時，使叉架l〇a推入旋轉台12側。 本實施形態中，如上述，處理裝置5的入庫台6a · 6a及出庫台6b · 6b的列是與運送機4平行設置。並且， 藉著行駛台車9的驅動使移載裝置8行駿在運送機4與工 -9- (7) 1287528 作站6之間。 因此，移載裝置8從運送機4上的容器2取出平板玻 璃1，或者收納在容器2的場合，轉動旋轉台12使叉架 l〇a形成與運送機4(容器2)相對。相同地移載裝置8可以 將平板玻璃1放進入庫台6a，或從出庫台6取出時，轉 動旋轉台12使叉架10a與工作站6(入庫台6a或出庫台 6b)相對。 其次，針對收容平板玻璃1的容器2的構成說明如下 〇 平板玻璃1是以該平板玻璃1的面積最大的面（以下 ，稱板面la)形成水平的狀態，收納於容器2內以運送機 4運送，並利用移載裝置8的叉架10a移載，載置於入庫 台6a及出庫台6b。 如第3圖表示，容器2對應平板玻璃1，形成板狀的 容器。容器2是以該容器2的面積最大的面（與地板面平 行）形成水平的狀態，載置在運送機4上運送。另外，爲 方便起見，以平板玻璃1的運送方向爲前後方向，並以運 送方向的水平面內正交的方向作爲左右方向。 容器2的底面2a較板面la的前後左右方向寬，形成 可收納板面1 a呈水平的平板玻璃1。板面1 a上多數豎設 載置平板玻璃1支撐用的支撐體14。並且，在載置裝置 的平板玻璃1與底面2a之間，形成可插入上述叉架10a 的空間。此外，本實施的形態中，底面2a雖是形成不具 備孔的平板狀，但是也可以多數形成鏤空用孔。 1287528 (8) 並且，在底面2a的（運送方向的）前後兩端，豎設較 支撐體14朝著上方延伸的導件2b · 2b，可防止支撐在多 數支撐體14的平板玻璃1的脫落。另一方面，在底面2a 的左右兩端，分別豎設一對導件2c · 2c。 左右導件2c · 2c間的前後寬度（間隔）小於平板玻璃1 的前後寬度，同時導件2c的高度也形成較支撐體14的高 度更高。並且，平板玻璃1穿過導件2c · 2c間可防止從 容器2的脫落。並且如後述，導件2c · 2c間形成作爲移 載平板玻璃1的叉架l〇a的插入用空間。 另外，導件2c形成低於導件2b的高度，同時導件 2b與導件2c上端間的上下寬度形成寬度寬於平板玻璃1 的厚度（相對於板面la垂直方向的寬度）。 並且，從支撐體1 4稍微使平板玻璃1上浮的狀態， 容器2的左右方向（與容器2運送方向正交的方向），在導 件2b · 2b的上端間（形成在導件2c上方的空間）的高度位 置，可以將平板玻璃1從容器2取出。同樣地，也可以將 平板玻璃1收納在容器2內。 藉以上的構成，後述容器2的層疊狀態下，同樣可以 從容器2藉著移載裝置8進行平板玻璃1的取出，收納。 如第4圖表示，容器2形成可層疊。 容器2內，上述各導件2b上面的左右方向突設有突 出部2e · 2e，同時從底面2a下面朝著上側形成卡合孔2f • 2f···。卡合孔2f是對應著突出部2e，突出部2e與卡合 孔2f在上視圖方向形成重複的位置。一個容器2對應設 -11 - 1287528 (9) 置的四個突出部2e，同樣設置四個卡合孔2f，突出部2e 及卡合孔2f上視圖方向是位在長方形的頂點位置。 並且，容器2 —旦上下重疊時，各突出部2e卡合在 各卡合孔2f，在層疊的容器2 · 2中，一側容器2相對於 另外側的容器2，形成不會朝著水平方向移動。 藉以上的構成，即使多數層疊容器2，各個容器2仍 然不容易從層疊狀態脫落。 又，構成可層疊的容器2，逐一地運送至容器2的保 管手段（後述的第一保管手段1 5等），可以層疊收納。藉 層疊收納可以提高容器2的收納手段在收納時的收納效率 〇 上述導件2c · 2c間的前後寬度形成相對於上述叉架 l〇a進退方向較寬的左右寬度。因此，移載裝置8可以使 叉架l〇a通過導件2c · 2c間，插入至收納於容器2的平 板玻璃1的下方。 其中，豎設在底面2a上的多數個支撐體14是配置在 柵格狀模樣的交叉點位置上，從相對於運送方向的左右方 向，可插入各栅格寬度以下的構件。 另一方面，叉架10a其前端側分叉形成平面呈E字型 的同時，分叉後的各部寬度形成較上述各柵格的寬度窄。 並且即使叉架10a通過導件2c · 2c間插入平板玻璃1下 方時，叉架l〇a與支撐體14也不會彼此接觸。 並且，藉以上的構成，移載裝置8藉著叉架l〇a的進 退及升降驅動，可將平板玻璃1從容器2的取出，或收納 1287528 (10) 在容器2內。 並且，上述入庫台6a及出庫台6b同樣分別多數豎設 有載置平板玻璃1支撐用的支撐體28。 支撐體28具有與上述支撐體14相同的作用，配置在 柵格狀模樣的交叉點位置，可以從相對於運送方向的左右 方向，插入各柵格寬度以下的構件。即可以插入移載裝置 8的叉架10a，進行移載裝置8的移載。 針對運送系統1 〇〇所具備的平板玻璃1及容器2的保 管手段說明如下。 運送系統1〇〇中，運送機4的運送方向僅設定一方向 爲不可逆。第1圖中，以左側爲運送方向的上游側，右側 爲運送方向的下游側。 .如第1圖所示，運送系統100的各處理裝置5上設置 第一至第三的保管手段15· 16· 17。第一保管手段15是 保管取出平板玻璃1的空容器2用的手段。並且，第二保 管手段1 6是保管取出平板玻璃1的手段。另外，第三保 管手段1 7是保管收納平板玻璃1的手段。 首先，針對保管空容器2的第一保管手段15說明如 下。 運送機4上雖是運送收納在容器2的平板玻璃1，但 是也可以藉著移載裝置只將平板玻璃1移載至處理裝置5 。因此，在運送機4上會殘留取出平板玻璃1的空容器2 〇 其中，空的容器2是在平板玻璃1加工處理完成後收 -13- 1287528 (11) 納，因此保管在各處理裝置5。並且，再次在運送機4上 運送收納處理裝置5處理完成後的平板玻璃1的容器2。 第一保管手段1 5是預先保管以處理裝置5將收納處 理中的平板玻璃1處理後收納容器2的手段。 此外，空的容器2也可以收納處理後的任一平板玻璃 1 ° 如第15圖表示，第一保管手段15爲容器2的保持手 段1 8，及容器2的升降手段1 9所構成。 運送機4上的適當位置設定作爲第一保管手段1 5的 第一待機位置W1，利用運送機4的驅動在容器2停止上 述第一待機位置W1的狀態下，進行容器2的保管。第5 圖是表示容器2停止在第一待機位置W1的狀態。並且， 運送機4設有未圖示的檔止器（定位構件），可進行容器2 對於上述第一待機位置W1的定位。 上述升降手段19在上述第一待機位置W1設置在運 送機4的下方。升降手段19，具備：載置地板面的基部 2〇;相對於該基部20上下進退的升降台21;及控制升降 台21升降驅動的控制裝置（未圖示）。升降台21在基板 21a的前後（容器2的運送方向前後）突設支撐板21b· 21b ，側面方向形成凹狀。支撐構件2 1 b左右方向形成縱向的 板狀構件，將前後的支撐板2 1 b · 2 1 b的上端面抵接上述 第一待機位置W1的容器2下面時，容器2可穩定地支撐 在升降台2 1上。 運送機4形成有插穿支撐板21b· 21b的開口 4d· 4d -14- (12) 1287528 ，形成支撐板21b.21b與容器2下面的抵接。並且，支 撐板2 1 b的前後寬度形成較輥子1 3 · 1 3間的間隔狹窄， 使支撐板2 1 b · 2 1 b分別通過輥子1 3 · 1 3間與容器2的下 面抵接。 另外，升降台21除了第一保管手段15的容器2的保 管作業時，可收納在運送機4的運送面下側。具體而言， 升降台2 1的上端位在運送機4具備的輥子1 3 · 1 3…上端 的下側位置。並且，升降台21形成不會妨礙運送機4上 的容器2的運送。 以上升降台21的高度位置的控制是以升降手段19具 備的上述控制裝置進行。 並且，控制裝置也可與總括運送系統100整體的中央 控制手段（未圖示）連接，藉著來自中央控制手段的指令控 制升降手段1 9動作的構成，或者可以單獨控制升降手段 1 9動作的構成。 另一方面，上述保持手段1 9爲配置在運送機4外側 包圍升降手段19的四個阻擋部22 · 22，及控制該等阻擋 部22 · 22的控制裝置（未圖示）所構成。 各阻擋部22具備豎設在地板面上的圓柱形支柱23， 及相對於該支柱23同軸設置的支柱23轉動的旋轉體24 ，旋轉體24固設有阻擋構件25。詳細如後述，但是阻擋 構件25爲阻擋（保持）容器2用的構件。保持手段18具備 的上述控制裝置在各個阻擋部22控制旋轉體24(阻擋構 件25)的轉動驅動。尤其是控制裝置可控制四個阻擋構件 1287528 (13) 2 5同步驅動。 其中，阻擋構件25以保持手段1 8保持容器2的位置 ，換言之，在阻擋構件25卡合容器2的位置，設定爲阻 擋位置S。第5圖表示保持手段1 8的狀態是表示阻擋構 件25位在阻擋位置S的狀態。 各阻擋部22中，平面呈「L」字型的各阻擋構件25 其前端部25a是朝著第一待機位置W1側，平面方向的四 個上述前端部25a與位在第一待機位置W1的容器2是形 成重複的位置關係。 容器2的導件2b · 2b左右分別形成從容器2的外側 向著內側的卡合凹部2d · 2d。各卡合凹部2d形成在分別 對應阻擋構件25的前端部25a的位置上，座位保管容器 2的適當高度位置（後述），以阻擋構件25作爲阻擋位置S 時，可將前端部25a插入卡合凹部2d。 如第6圖所示，藉著升降手段19使容器2上升，使 卡合上升後的容器2與各阻擋構件25的高度位置形成上 述適當的高度位置。並且，各阻擋構件25的高度位置爲 相同高度位置。 即容器2位於此一高度位置時，前端部25a插入各卡 合凹部2d，容器2藉著保持手段1 8固定。以下，此一高 度位置（容器2的卡合凹部2d與阻擋構件25的前端部25a 卡合的高度位置）作爲保持手段1 8對容器2的固定高度位 置R。 此外，各阻擋構件2 5如第5圖及第6圖所示，〜般 -16- 1287528 (14) 是形成在阻擋位置S待機。並且，以保持手段1 8將空的 容器2保持在最初的場合，位在第一待機位置w 1的容器 2 (第5圖的圖示狀態）藉著升降手段19移動至固定高度位 置R(第6圖的圖示狀態）的期間，前端部25a朝著與保持 手段1 8中央側相反的位置（第一待機位置W 1的外側及固 定高度位置R的外側）轉動，使阻擋構件25從阻擋位置S 分離。並且，各阻擋構件25與容器2不彼此接觸，可以 使容器2從第一待機位置W1移動（上升）至固定高度位置 R。 如第7圖所示，從位在固定高度位置R的容器朝上側 構成可層疊容器2。即將層疊後容器2群的最下層容器2 以上述保持手段1 8保持，可以保管層疊後所有的容器2 〇 並且容器2是如上述，藉著設置在容器2上端側的突 出部2e與形成在下端側的卡合孔2f的卡合構成形成可彼 此層疊。 使用第7圖、第8圖針對第一保管手段15層疊容器 2保管時的作業順序說明如下。 第7圖是表示容器2爲一個保管的場合，將容器2運 送到第一待機位置W 1到達的狀態。以此爲第一狀態。 第一狀態下，驅動升降手段1 9，將支撐在升降手段 19的容器2抵接保持在保持手段18的容器2(位於固定高 度位置R的容器2)，或者上升至大致抵接位置。以此爲 第二狀態。 -17- 1287528 (15) 第二狀態中，保持手段1 8可解除固定高度位置R對 於容器2的保持。具體而言，如上述，進行轉動使所有的 阻擋構件2 5從阻擋位置S (位於阻擋位置s的容器2)脫離 。此時，升降手段1 9外加第二狀態的時點支撐的容器2 ，同時支撐保持手段1 8所保持的容器2。以此爲第三狀 態。 第三狀態中’爲了讓升降手段19支撐的最下方容器 2到達固定高度位置R，升降手段19使容器2.2上升。 具體而言，使升降台21朝上方只移動一個容器2的高度 。並且將阻擋構件25再次轉動至阻擋位置S爲止，進行 對於升降手段19所支撐最下方容器2的保持。以此爲第 四狀態，即第8圖表示的狀態。 如上述，第一保管手段1 5可以將到達第一待機位置 W1的容器2依序從固定高度位置R層疊在上方。 又，第一保管手段15從層疊保管後的容器2·2,使 一個容器2恢復到運送機4上（移動至第一待機位置W1) 時，只需使保持手段1 8及升降手段1 9動作相反地從上述 第一回到第四的狀態即可。 因此，第一保管手段1 5可以將位在第一待機位置W 1 的容器2層疊保管在運送機4的上方’同時可以再次使保 管後的容器2恢復到運送機4上的第一待機位置W1。 以上構成的第一保管手段形成將容器2保管在運送機 4正上方，可以讓運送機4上的容器通過。 換言之，第一保管手段15保管的容器2的最下方位 -18- 1287528 (16) 置爲上述固定高度位置R，固定高度位置R間隔可通過運 送機4上的容器的空間，形成可以將容器2保管在運送機 4正上方。 因此，一邊將容器2的保管手段設置在運送系統1〇〇 ’可抑制容器保管手段設置空間的增加。此外，不會因容 器保管手段阻擋運送機4，因此不會導致運送效率的降低 。此外，容器2的保管位置位在運送機4的正上方位置， 只需以升降手段19作爲容器2的移載手段即可。與在其 他部位設定保管位置時比較，可以簡化保管用移載裝置的 構成（不需要水平方向移動只需升降手段19即可）。因此 ，也可以簡化運送系統100的整體構成。 其次，針對保管平板玻璃1的第二保管手段16說明 如下。 對於各處理裝置5供給平板玻璃1。其中，預先以從 容器2取出平板玻璃1 · 1…的狀態保管在各個處理裝置5 內，可具有良好的各處理裝置5的操作效率。即使從運送 機4不供給平板玻璃1的場合，仍可利用保管的平板玻璃 1繼續處理作業，不會發生停止時間。 以上的問題（不供給平板玻璃1的場合），例如會發生 各處理裝置5的一片平板玻璃1處理所需時間的不同等。 亦即，第二保管手段1 6預先保管處理用的平板玻璃 1，可以防止第二保管手段1 6所對應處理裝置5的操作效 率的降低。 又，相對於運送機4所連續運送的平板玻璃1，即使 1287528 (17) 處理裝置5的處理不及的場合，仍可以暫時保管在第二保 管手段1 6，可防止運送路徑爲等待處理的平板玻璃丨所 阻塞。 如第1圖表示，第二保管手段16是在運送路徑中配 置在上述第一保管手段1 5的上游側。 第二保管手段16爲配置在運送機4上方形成固定緩 衝器的棚架26，及相對於地板面支撐該棚架28的支撐台 27所構成。支撐台27具備平面呈長方形的支撐板27a， 及從該支撐板27a的四個角落向下方延伸的四個支撐腳 2 7b。並且，左右支撐腳2 7b· 2 7b是分別跨過運送機4配 置，棚架26是以運送機4的上方支撐著。 並且，支撐板27a下面的高度位置是形成較運送機4 上的容器2更上方，不會因第二保管手段16妨礙運送路 徑的容器2的運送。 棚架26可以上下方向多數收納平板玻璃1，在處理 裝置5側開口，利用移載裝置8可進行平板玻璃1的移載 〇 棚架26具備長方體的外殻除了上面與處理裝置5側 的面的四面所構成的殼體26a，在殼體26a的內部上下方 向配置多數個棚架板26b· 26b…。 各棚架板2 6b的上面多數豎設有載置平板玻璃1支撐 用的支撐體。並且，在載置狀態的平板玻璃1與容器2的 底面2a之間形成空間。空間由於可進行移載裝置8對於 平板玻璃1的移載，因此形成可插入叉架1 0a的空間。豎 -20- 1287528 (18) 設在各棚架板26b上的多數個支撐體是配置在柵格狀模樣 的交叉位置上，形成將叉架l〇a從左右方向插入而不與支 撐體接觸。 其中，移載裝置8具備機械手10的升降手段，因此 即使移載原位及移載處的高度位置不同時仍可進行移載。 具體而言，在移載裝置8設置接收移載處或移載原位的位 置資訊的手段。並且，根據位置資訊以移載裝置8具備的 上述控制裝置控制機械手10的升降及進退動作，可在適 當位置的移載原位及移載處之間進行平板玻璃1的移載。 即以設在棚架26的上下多數段的收納位置（棚架板26)作 作爲移載原位及移載處，可利用移載裝置8。 對第二保管手段1 6的平板玻璃1的保管是如以下進 行。 運送機4上，與平面方向的棚架26重複位置作爲容 器2的第二待機位置W2。第二待機位置W2停止的容器2 上收納保管再第二保管手段1 6用的平板玻璃1。 移載裝置8藉著位在第二待機位置W2的容器2,取 出平板玻璃1。並且，藉著移載裝置8具備的升降手段的 驅動，使機械手1〇上升，對於棚架26內適當位置的棚架 體2 6b上進行上述平板玻璃1的移載。其中適當位置的棚 架體2 6b是表示棚架26具備的棚架體2 6b中，適當根據 處理順序等移載處的棚架體26b。 另一方面，將位於第二待機位置W2的空的容器2沿 著運送機4朝著下游側的第一待機位置W 1運送，保管在 -21 - 1287528 ♦ (19) 上述第一保管手段15。 如上述，第二保管手段16可保管平板玻璃1至棚架 26的平板玻璃1的可收納片數（棚架體26b的配設數）爲止 〇 另外，從第二保管手段16取出平板玻璃1時，移載 裝置8驅動升降手段，使機械手10升降對應形成移載原 位的棚架體26b的高度，從棚架26取出平板玻璃1。 如上述，運送系統100具備有保管平板玻璃1的第二 保管手段1 6，及移載手段8。 其中，第二保管手段16在運送機4上的容器2更上 方，可進行平板1的保管。又，移載裝置8具備機械手 10的升降手段，可以在彼此高度位置不同的移載原位與 移載處之間進行移載。 因此，不會妨礙運送路徑上容器2的運送，對於各處 理裝置5，移載裝置8可以將平板玻璃1移載至運送機4 上方的收納位置（上述棚架板26b)爲止，可暫時保管處理 用的平板玻璃1。 尤其以第二保管手段16構成上下方向可保管複數片 平板玻璃1的場合，移載裝置8可以從任意高度的收納位 置（上述棚架板26b)移載平板玻璃1。因此，在運送機4 朝著處理裝置5的運送順序中，可進行平板玻璃1的「先 進先出」。例如，藉移載裝置8將平板玻璃1移載至第二 保管手段1 6時，依照第二保管手段1 6最上段的棚架板 2 6b的順序收納。取出平板玻璃1 · 1…時，依據首先收納 (20) 1287528 的最上段的棚架板26b的順序取出。如上述，第二保管手 段1 6中，可以根據首先收納平板玻璃1的順序取出，實 現平板玻璃的先進先出。 此外，也可以依照第二保管手段1 6最上段的棚架板 2 6b的順序進行收納•取出。或者，利用管理第二保管手 段1 6的收納順序的手段，不論棚架板26b的上下位置爲 何，可進行先進先出。 此外，構成可上下方向保管棚架26時，不會導致第 二保管手段1 6設置空間的增加。 另外，本實施的形態中，在第二保管手段1 6只收納 平板玻璃1，將空的容器1層疊在第一保管手段15保管 ，使空的容器2可立即供給處理後的平板玻璃1。其中， 第二保管手段16中，平板玻璃1的保管手段可以棚架26 代替，或者以層疊構成的容器2群代替。如上述，移載裝 置8可以從層疊狀態的容器2取出平板玻璃1，或者將平 板玻璃1收納於容器2內。此時，容器2群是支撐在上述 支撐台27上。 或者，第二保管手段也可以與第一保管手段15相同 的構成，以保管在第二保管手段的容器2群作爲平板玻璃 1的保管手段。 其次，針對保管收納平板玻璃1的容器2的第三保管 手段1 7說明如下。 如第1圖表示，本實施形態中，基本上是將朝著某一 處理裝置5運送的容器2(收納平板玻璃1)保管在作爲保 1287528 (21) 管平板玻璃1手段的第二保管手段1 6。 但是，根據各處理裝置5的不同處理速度，在運送機 4上會造成收納平板玻璃1的容器2運送上的滞留。對應 上述的場合，設置作爲保管收納平板玻璃1的容器2手段 的第三保管手段17。第三保管手段17爲第二保管手段16 的輔助性保管手段，設置在第二保管手段1 6的上游側。 如第1圖表示，第三保管手段17，其構成是與上述 第一保管手段15相同。因此，省略其構成的說明。第三 保管手段1 7是利用於不能以第二保管手段1 6保管平板玻 璃1的場合，在收納平板玻璃1的狀態保管的點與第一保 管手段15不同。保管後的平板玻璃1是以移載裝置直接 供給處理裝置5，或者形成供給第二保管手段1 6的棚架 26的空出部份（空的棚架板26b上）。 並且，第三保管手段17依序層疊容器2形成從下方 向上推，因此第三保管手段17保管的容器2中，最上方 的容器2形成最初被收納的容器。因此，移載裝置8從上 方容器2朝著下方容器2依序取出平板玻璃1，可執行「 先入先出」的順序。 此外，第三保管手段17中，在運送機4上，以應保 管的容器2停止的位置作爲第三待機位置W3。位於第三 待機位置W3的容器2藉著第三保管手段17具備的保管 手段1 8及升降手段的協調動作，保管在第三保管手段1 7 上。並且，取出第三保管手段17保管的容器2時，藉著 保持手段1 8及升降手段1 9的協調動作，載置在形成第三 -24 - (22) 1287528 運送位置W3的運送機4上。 另外，保持手段1 8及升降手段1 9的協調動作是總括 控制保持手段1 8具備的上述控制裝置，及升降手段1 9具 備的控制裝置加以進行。或者設置總括兩控制裝置的上位 控制裝置，或者聯合兩控制裝置的構成，以形成上述協調 動作。 運送系統1 00，具備：運送收納板狀物的平板玻璃1 之容器2的運送機4·4…，及在容器2與處理裝置5之 間進行平板玻璃1移載的移載裝置8。 藉以上的構成，使平板玻璃1保護在容器2內，可避 免與運送機4等的驅動手段所構成運送路徑之間的直接接 觸，防止平板玻璃1的品質降低。又，設置移載裝置8， 即使於平板玻璃1收納容器2的狀態下在運送機4上運送 時，處理裝置5上仍然可以只移載平板玻璃1。因此，即 使是如上述保護平板玻璃1的構成，也不會發生問題。 此外，運送系統1 00具備保護平板玻璃1取出後的空 容器2 · 2…的第一保管手段15。 因此，不論以處理裝置5處理平板玻璃1供給處理裝 置5後的空容器2所需的時間爲何，都可以保管處理中平 板玻璃1的容器2。因此，處理裝置5的處理完成隨後， 可以將平板玻璃1收納在容器2內，再次沿著運送機4運 送。 尤其是在本實施的形態中，各個處理裝置5爲設置第 一保管手段1 6的構成。因此，以處理裝置5完成平板玻 1287528 (23) 璃1的處理時，將作爲平板玻璃1保護手段的容器2立即 供給最接近處理裝置5的運送機4上，可以收納保護平板 玻璃1。尤其與對應各複數個處理裝置5設置空容器2的 保管手段時，或在運送系統內的一部份，與處理裝置5獨 立構成空容器2的保管部時比較，空容器2的供給速度可 更爲迅速化。 並且，本實施形態的運送系統1 00具備保管收納平板 玻璃1的容器2 · 2…的第三保管手段1 7。 因此，在處理裝置5 · 5…間，即使平板玻璃1的處 理速度不同時。各處理裝置5可以保管收納平板玻璃1的 容器2，因此可防止運送機4上收納平板玻璃1的容器2 運送時造成的滯留。 另外，不造成上述滯留的場合等，也可以構成作爲不 具備第三保管手段1 7的運送系統。 並且，本實施形態的運送系統100雖是具備保管平板 玻璃1的第二保管手段1 6的構成，但是也可以不具備第 二保管手段1 6構成運送系統。 此時，根據移載裝置8的移載在運送機4側只限於上 述待機位置 W1 · W3(設置第三保管手段17的場合）。因 此，形成一定的運送機4側的移載高度位置，因此不一定 需要可在彼此高度位置不同的移載原位與移載處之間移載 的移載裝置8。即只要在運送機4與工作站6之間，形成 可移載平板玻璃1的移載裝置即可。例如，藉著與上述運 送機4相同或類似構造的運送機，在運送機4上的容器2 -26- 1287528 (24) 與工作站6之間，以進行平板玻璃1移載的裝置代用移載 裝置8。 另外，本實施形態中，收納板狀物的平板玻璃1的容 器雖是以托盤狀對外氣開放的形狀，但是不限於此一形狀 ，也可以遮蔽外氣的密閉式容器。或者密閉容器也可以與 上述容器2同樣爲層疊的構成。 以上可層疊的密閉式容器形成運送時可收納板狀物容 器時，將設於密閉式容器的蓋開關手段設置在運送系統上 。尤其是以堆載密閉式容器的狀態下，可進行板狀物的移 載，在上述密閉式容器側方設置上述蓋的同時，上述開關 手段具備升降手段可對應高度位置的變化爲佳。 其次，針對本發明運送系統的第二運送系統200說明 如下。 與第一運送系統100在運送機4對處理裝置5的移載 上不同。 亦即，第一運送系統100中，作爲運送機4上的容器 2與處理裝置5之間移載平板玻璃1的移載裝置雖是使用 具備機械手的移載裝置8，但是第二運送系統200是在容 器底面的一部份形成穿通孔，移載裝置的不同點在於使用 具備從穿通孔朝著上下方向伸縮的移載輥的輥子移載手段 ，及運送機4與處理裝置5之間運送平板玻璃1的聯絡運 送機。 以下針對第二運送系統200具體說明與第一運送系統 1 〇 〇的不同點如下。 -27- (25) 1287528 容器202的底面202a形成可通過具備後述移載輥的 輥子組的穿通孔3 1。 接著使用第1 0圖針對具備移載輥的輥子移載手段32 說明如下。 輥子移載手段32主要是以基部33、升降台34、輥子 組35、移載輥36、控制裝置40等構成。 輥子移送手段32是配置在運送機4的下方。移載裝 置的基部33具有上下方向升降的機構，基部33上部設置 升降台34。並且，在升降台34的上面豎設有輥子組35· 3 5…。此外，在輥子組3 5上面樞設可自由轉動驅動的移 載輥36 · 36···。藉以使輥子移載手段32的升降台34更 上方的部份（升降台34、輥子組35、移載輥36) —體升降 。並且，在輥子移載手段32設置控制手段40，可利用控 制手段40控制輥子移載手段32的升降及移載輥子36的 轉動驅動。 另外，控制手段40是與總括運送系統200整體的中 央控制手段（未圖示）連接，不限定於根據來自中央控制手 段的指令控制輥子移載手段32的動作的構成，或單獨控 制輥子移載手段3 2的動作的構成。 另一方面，在運送機4的底面形成開口部，輥子組 35是貫穿運送機4底面的開口部向上方突出。 輥子組3 5上面的高度是當輥子移載手段3 2下降時， 位在較移載運送機4的輥子13 · 13…上端（與沿著運送路 徑運送的容器202的底面抵接的高度）低的待機位置。 (26) 1287528 另外，輥子組3 5上面的高度是構成當輥子移載手段 32上升時，來到較移載運送機4的輥子13 · 13…上端（與 沿著運送路徑運送的容器202的底面抵接的高度）高的移 載位置。 亦即，輥子移載手段3 2藉著控制手段4 〇控制輥子組 使其可在待機位置與移載位置之間自由切換，可以從容器 202只移載平板玻璃1。 此外，如第10圖所示，輥子組35 · 35…當容器202 在運送機4上，且位在輥子移載手段32正上方位置時’ 配置與形成在容器202的底面202a的穿通孔31· 31…上 視圖方向大致一致的位置。 又，輥子組3 5的上視剖面形狀構成小於穿通孔3 1的 外型。 設在輥子組3 5 · 3 5…上面的移載輥子3 6 · 3 6…其上 端較輕子組35 · 35···上面更向著上方突出。 並且，當輥子移載手段32上升時，移載輥子36的上 端構成來到高於設在運送路徑上的容器202的支撐體14 上端（收容在容器202的平板玻璃1的下面）的位置。 另外，移載輥子3 6的轉軸的軸線方向與運送路徑的 運送方向大致一致。 根據以上構成，容器202在運送機4上，且位於輥子 移載手段32正上方的位置時，使輥子移載手段32 —旦上 升時，輥子組35從容器202的穿通孔3 1向上方突出。並 且，在容器2 0 2收納平板玻璃1時，平板玻璃1的下面藉 1287528 (27) 著移載輥子3 6 · 3 6…上端支撐，形成從支撐體1 4分開上 舉的狀態。此時，容器202的導件202c · 202c的上端高 度是低於移載輥子36· 36…所上舉平板玻璃1的下面的 構成。 在此狀態下轉動驅動移載輥子36時，支撐在移載輥 子3 6的平板玻璃1被朝著運送路徑的側方運送。 並且，本實施例中，升降台34上設有共計6基的輥 子組3 5 · 3 5…，但只要可以將平板玻璃1移載至聯絡運 送機30時，設置在升降台34的輥子組35的數量設置至 少一基即可。並且設置在輥子組3 5的移載輥子3 6的數量 也只要設置至少1個即可。又，移載輥子3 6不限於輪式 ，例如也可以捲繞皮帶導的履帶式。 其次，使用第9圖說明聯絡運送機3 0如下。 如第9圖所示，聯絡運送機3 0 · 3 0是配置在設於構 成運送路徑的運送機4下方的輥子移載手段32 · 32的側 方。 設在運送路徑上游側（運送收納處理裝置處理前的平 板玻璃1之容器202的方向）的聯絡運送機30是與運送機 4及處理裝置的運入口（未圖示）連接，形成將平板玻璃1 從運送機1運入處理裝置用的運入路徑。 設在運送路徑下游側（運出收納處理裝置處理後的平 板玻璃1之容器202的方向）的聯絡運送機30是與運送機 4及處理裝置的運入口（未圖示）連接，形成將平板玻璃1 從處理裝置朝著運送機4運出用的運出路徑。 •30- 1287528 (28) 聯絡運送機30的基本構成大致與運送機4相同，具 備：多數個輥子37· 37···;轉動驅動該輥子37的驅動力 傳達機構（未圖示）；平板玻璃1不致從聯絡運送機37脫 落用的導件38· 38;及支撐腳39· 39···等。 但是，與運送機4不同，從輥子3 7與平板玻璃的板 面（下面）抵接的點，與輥子37的平板玻璃間的抵接部的 材質是選擇橡膠或樹脂等，柔軟不傷及平板玻璃1的材質 爲佳。又，盡可能地將處理裝置的運入口及運出口接近運 送機4，以縮短聯絡運送機30的運送距離爲佳。 另外，聯絡運送機30的輥子37的上端是形成從輥子 移載手段32自容器2分開上舉的平板玻璃1的下面高度 大致同高的位置。 根據以上的構成，不會傷及大面積•大重量板狀物的 平板玻璃1的表面可進行運送。 又，輥子移載手段32配置在運送機下方的同時，並 具備從容器202的穿通孔31向上方伸縮的移載輥子36。 不需使用機械手等複雜機構的移載手段從容器202只取出 平板玻璃1，可以有效地將平板玻璃1收納在容器2 0 2內 〇 再者，在較第9圖表示的運送路徑上游側的輕子移載 手段32更上游側上，設置與保管手段（第一容器保管手段 )1 5大致相同構成的其他容器保管手段，可同樣層疊•保 管收納平板玻璃1的狀態的容器2〇2 · 202···。 藉著以上的構成，可以使等待將平板玻璃1運入處理 -31 - (29) 1287528 裝置內的容器2 02 · 2 02…在運送機4上追過其他的容器 202。 其次，利用添附圖示針對設置在運送路徑途中有關暫 時保管裝置的一實施形態說明如下。第11圖是表示本發 明之一實施形態有關的暫時保管裝置的整體構成的透視圖 ，第12圖是表示將暫時保管裝置的下部突出底板下空間 配置狀態的透視圖。 暫時保管庫具有配置在一端側的入庫口；配置在另外 端側的出庫口；及多數個棚架，棚架與入庫口及出庫口之 間具備移載物品的煙囪式起重機的自動倉庫爲一般所熟知 。自動倉庫內的短方向兩側部設有收納部，收納部上配置 多數個棚架，收納部之間中央的空間配置煙囪式起重機。 但是，會導致有包括煙囪式起重機行駛路徑的配置空間等 裝置整體設置面積增大等的問題。尤其是相對於運送路徑 的寬度，會有增大設置自動倉庫寬度（自動倉庫橫向長度） 的問題。解決其問題點爲以下說明的暫時保管裝置。 首先，針對本發明一實施例涉及的暫時保管裝置1 〇 1 的槪略構成，使用第11圖說明如下。暫時保管裝置101 是配置在運送平板玻璃（板狀物）1的運送系統100的運送 路徑途中的運送路徑上。換言之，夾持暫時保管裝置101 在前後設置上游側（入庫手段1 0 4側）的運送機4 f與下游 側（出庫手段1 0 5側）的運送機4 g。並且，暫時保管裝置 1 〇 1說明上的方便，雖是使用在運送系統1 00 ,但是使用 於運送系統200可獲得相同的效果。 (30) 1287528 暫時保管裝置1 0 1爲設置在地板1 0 6上的收納部1 0 3 、入庫手段1 04及出庫手段1 05等所構成，夾持收納部的 前後配置入庫手段104與出庫手段105。又，運送機4(運 送機4f · 4 g)是設置在地板106上，以相同高度位置將上 游側的運送機4f與下游側的運送機4g配置在一直線上。 並且，使運送機4f ·

1〇3，保管在收納部103。又，保管在收納部1〇3的容器2 從收納部103經由出庫手段105被移載至運送機4g，在 運送機4g上朝著下游側運送。 運送機4(運送機4f· 4g)是以輥子運送機構成，利用 馬達等未圖示的驅動手段驅動。在運送機4f上將上游側 運送來的容器2傳送至入庫手段104的棚架14，或從出 庫手段1 05的棚架1 1 5接受容器2後運送至下游側。 收納部103在上下隔開預定間隔配置複數個棚架113 • 1 1 3。各棚架1 1 3例如其四角落部是以包圍收納部1 03 周圍的框架1 03 a所支持的構成。各棚架1 1 3的大小平面 上形成若干大於上述容器大小的大尺寸，可以在棚架113 -33- (31) 1287528 上載置容器2°又’各棚架113上面前後安裝複數支驅動 軸1 13b · 1 13b···，各驅動軸1

And the 'borrower is erected on the sides of the conveyor 4 guides 4b · 4b · ·. The container 2 can be prevented from coming off the conveyor 4. Further, the transfer portion of the conveyor 4 to the side of the processing device 5 to be described later is a configuration in which the guide 4b is not provided. Further, 1287528 (5), the transfer device 8 to be described later can take out the flat glass 1 toward the lateral side by the container on the conveyor 4. As shown in Fig. 1, in the factory of the transport system 100, the processing device 5·5 of the sheet glass 1 is placed along the conveyor 4 on the side of the transport path (the transporter 4) (the first figure only shows Show one). The processing device 5 includes a processing unit (not shown) and a workstation 6 for the flat glass to be stored in the processing unit. Each of the workstations 6 is provided with a pair of storage stations 6a for placing the flat glass 1 in the processing apparatus 5, and a delivery station 6b for the same delivery. The storage stations 6a and 6a and the delivery stations 6b and 6b are arranged along the conveyor 4 to form a row. The processing device 5 transfers the sheet glass 1 placed on the storage table 6a to the processing unit by the transfer means 7 provided in the processing apparatus 5, and performs processing. Further, when the processing is completed, the processing device 5 again transfers the processed flat glass 1 to the delivery table 6b by the transfer means 7. Further, the transport system 100 is provided with a transfer device 8 for transferring the flat glass 1 between the workstation 6 of the processing device 5 and the container 2 on the transporter 4. In the present embodiment, the transfer device 8 includes a traveling vehicle 9, and forms a crawler type that travels back and forth along the conveyor 4, and also includes a horizontal articulated robot 10 . The robot 10 is provided by a lifting platform 1 for lifting and lowering with respect to the traveling carriage 9, and a rotary table 1 2 for rotating with respect to the lifting platform 11. Further, the forming robot 10 can be raised and lowered with respect to the traveling carriage 9. The elevating table 11 is driven by a motor or the like provided in the transfer device 8 to be lifted and lowered. Similarly, the same rotating table 12 is rotationally driven by a motor or the like provided in the transfer device 8. Further, the lifting and lowering means 1 1 and the driving motor or the driving device -8-(6) 1287528 moving mechanism or the like constitute the lifting means of the manipulator 10. Further, the rotary table 12, the motor for driving, the drive transmission mechanism, and the like constitute a rotation means of the robot. In addition, each operation of the transfer device 8 is formed by the traveling drive of the traveling vehicle 9, and the lifting and lowering of the lifting table 1 is performed by the lifting and lowering means, and the rotation of the rotating table 1 is driven by the rotating means, and the robot i is stretched and contracted. The drive is controlled by a control device (not shown) provided in the transfer device 8. The manipulator 10 is formed into a horizontal articulated type as described above, and is configured to be expandable and contractible with respect to the rotary table 12. The front end portion of the telescopic robot 1 (the rotary table 12 and the opposite side) is provided with an article mounting fork 1 〇 a, and the fork 10 0 a can move forward and backward with respect to the rotary table 12. Here, first, a description will be given of a state in which the transfer device 8 performs a transfer operation as follows. The transfer device 8 travels until the transfer plate glass 1 is placed before the storage table 6a or the delivery table 6b, and the fork frame 10a is moved in and out of the lower side of the flat glass 1, and the fork frame 10a is raised by the above-described lifting means. The flat glass 1 is lifted up. Further, when the flat glass 1 after the lifting is placed, the fork frame 10a is lowered toward the mounting table until the storage table 6a or the storage table 6b on which the sheet glass is placed, and the flat glass 1 is supported. These are placed on the stage. Further, in this state, the fork 10a is lowered, and when the flat glass 1 is separated from the fork 10a, the fork 10a is pushed into the rotary table 12 side. In the present embodiment, as described above, the rows of the storage stations 6a, 6a and the delivery tables 6b, 6b of the processing apparatus 5 are provided in parallel with the conveyor 4. Further, by the driving of the traveling carriage 9, the transfer device 8 is placed between the conveyor 4 and the station 6 at the station -6-(7) 1287528. Therefore, when the transfer device 8 takes out the flat glass 1 from the container 2 on the conveyor 4 or when it is stored in the container 2, the rotary table 12 is rotated to form the fork frame 10a to face the conveyor 4 (container 2). Similarly, the transfer device 8 can put the flat glass 1 into the magazine 6a or, when it is taken out from the delivery table 6, rotate the rotary table 12 so that the fork 10a faces the workstation 6 (the storage station 6a or the delivery station 6b). Next, the configuration of the container 2 for accommodating the flat glass 1 will be described below. The flat glass 1 is horizontally formed on the surface of the flat glass 1 having the largest area (hereinafter referred to as the plate surface la), and is housed in the container 2 to be transported. 4, transported, and transferred by the fork frame 10a of the transfer device 8, and placed on the storage station 6a and the delivery station 6b. As shown in Fig. 3, the container 2 corresponds to the flat glass 1, and a plate-shaped container is formed. The container 2 is horizontally placed on the surface of the container 2 having the largest area (parallel to the floor surface), and is placed on the conveyor 4 for transport. Further, for the sake of convenience, the conveyance direction of the flat glass 1 is the front-rear direction, and the direction orthogonal to the horizontal plane in the conveyance direction is the left-right direction. The bottom surface 2a of the container 2 is wider than the front and rear sides of the plate surface la, and forms a flat glass 1 that can accommodate the horizontal surface of the plate surface 1a. A support body 14 for supporting the flat glass 1 is placed on the upper surface 1 a. Further, a space into which the fork frame 10a can be inserted is formed between the flat glass 1 of the mounting device and the bottom surface 2a. Further, in the embodiment of the present embodiment, the bottom surface 2a is formed in a flat plate shape having no holes, but a plurality of hollow holes may be formed. 1287528 (8) Further, at the front and rear ends of the bottom surface 2a (in the transport direction), the guides 2b · 2b extending upward from the support body 14 are erected to prevent the flat glass 1 supported by the plurality of support bodies 14 from falling off. . On the other hand, a pair of guides 2c and 2c are vertically provided at the left and right ends of the bottom surface 2a. The front-rear width (interval) between the left and right guides 2c and 2c is smaller than the front-rear width of the flat glass 1, and the height of the guide 2c is also formed higher than that of the support 14. Further, the flat glass 1 is prevented from falling off from the container 2 through the guides 2c and 2c. Further, as will be described later, a space for insertion of the fork frame 10a for transporting the sheet glass 1 is formed between the guides 2c and 2c. Further, the guide 2c is formed lower than the height of the guide 2b, and the upper and lower widths between the guide 2b and the upper end of the guide 2c are formed to have a width wider than the thickness of the flat glass 1 (the width in the direction perpendicular to the plane la). Further, in a state where the sheet glass 1 is slightly floated from the support body 14, the left-right direction of the container 2 (the direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction of the container 2) is formed between the upper ends of the guides 2b and 2b (formed above the guide 2c). The height position of the space can be taken out of the container 2 from the container 2. Similarly, the flat glass 1 may be housed in the container 2. With the above configuration, in the stacked state of the container 2, which will be described later, the flat glass 1 can be taken out from the container 2 by the transfer device 8 and stored. As shown in Fig. 4, the container 2 is formed to be stackable. In the container 2, protrusions 2e to 2e are protruded from the lower surface of the bottom surface 2a toward the upper side in the left and right directions of the respective guides 2b, and the engagement holes 2f, 2f, ... are formed from the lower surface of the bottom surface 2a. The engaging hole 2f corresponds to the protruding portion 2e, and the protruding portion 2e and the engaging hole 2f are formed at positions overlapping in the upper view direction. One container 2 corresponds to four protruding portions 2e provided by -11 - 1287528 (9), and four engaging holes 2f are also provided, and the viewing direction of the protruding portion 2e and the engaging hole 2f is located at the vertex position of the rectangle. Further, when the container 2 is vertically overlapped, the respective protruding portions 2e are engaged with the respective engaging holes 2f, and in the stacked containers 2·2, the one side container 2 is formed not to face horizontally with respect to the other side container 2. Move in direction. According to the above configuration, even in the case of a plurality of stacked containers 2, the respective containers 2 are not easily detached from the stacked state. In addition, the container 2 that can be stacked and transported to the container 2 (the first storage means 15 and the like to be described later) are transported one by one, and can be stacked and stored. By cascading and accommodating, it is possible to improve the storage efficiency of the storage means of the container 2 at the time of storage. 前后 The front and rear widths between the guides 2c and 2c are formed to have a wide left-right width with respect to the advance and retreat directions of the forks 〇a. Therefore, the transfer device 8 can insert the fork frame 10a between the guides 2c and 2c and insert it under the flat glass 1 housed in the container 2. Among them, a plurality of support bodies 14 erected on the bottom surface 2a are disposed at intersections of the grid-like patterns, and can be inserted into members having a width equal to or less than each grid width from the left-right direction with respect to the conveyance direction. On the other hand, the fork frame 10a has a front end side bifurcation forming plane having an E-shape, and the width of each portion after the bifurcation is formed to be narrower than the width of each of the above-described grids. And even if the fork 10a is inserted under the flat glass 1 through the guides 2c, 2c, the fork 10a and the support 14 do not come into contact with each other. Further, with the above configuration, the transfer device 8 can take out the sheet glass 1 from the container 2 or house 1287528 (10) in the container 2 by the advancement and retraction of the fork frame l〇a. Further, in the same manner, the storage unit 6a and the delivery table 6b are provided with a support body 28 for supporting the flat glass 1 on the other side. The support body 28 has the same function as the above-described support body 14, and is disposed at the intersection of the grid-like patterns, and can be inserted into members having a width equal to or less than the grid width from the left-right direction with respect to the conveyance direction. That is, the fork frame 10a of the transfer device 8 can be inserted and the transfer device 8 can be transferred. The means for maintaining the flat glass 1 and the container 2 provided in the transport system 1 are described below. In the transport system 1, the transport direction of the transporter 4 is set to be irreversible only in one direction. In Fig. 1, the left side is the upstream side in the transport direction, and the right side is the downstream side in the transport direction. . As shown in Fig. 1, the first to third storage means 15·16·17 are provided in each processing device 5 of the transport system 100. The first storage means 15 is a means for storing the empty container 2 for taking out the flat glass 1. Further, the second maintenance means 16 is a means for storing and taking out the sheet glass 1. Further, the third holding means 17 is a means for storing and storing the sheet glass 1. First, the first storage means 15 for storing the empty container 2 will be described below. Although the transporter 4 transports the flat glass 1 accommodated in the container 2, only the flat glass 1 may be transferred to the processing apparatus 5 by the transfer device. Therefore, the empty container 2 from which the flat glass 1 is taken out remains on the conveyor 4, and the empty container 2 is stored in the respective processing devices 5 after the processing of the flat glass 1 is completed, 13-1328728 (11). . Then, the container 2 of the sheet glass 1 after the completion of the processing by the storage processing device 5 is transported again on the conveyor 4. The first storage means 15 is a means for storing the container 2 after the processing apparatus 5 has processed the sheet glass 1 in the storage process. Further, the empty container 2 may house any of the treated flat glass 1 ° as shown in Fig. 15, and the first storage means 15 is constituted by the holding means 18 of the container 2 and the lifting means 19 of the container 2. The first standby position W1 of the first storage means 15 is set at an appropriate position on the conveyor 4, and the container 2 is stored in a state where the container 2 stops the first standby position W1 by the driving of the conveyor 4. Fig. 5 is a view showing a state in which the container 2 is stopped at the first standby position W1. Further, the conveyor 4 is provided with a stopper (positioning member) (not shown), and the container 2 can be positioned at the first standby position W1. The elevating means 19 is provided below the transport unit 4 at the first standby position W1. The lifting and lowering means 19 includes a base portion 2 on which the floor surface is placed, a lifting platform 21 that moves up and down with respect to the base portion 20, and a control device (not shown) that controls the lifting and lowering of the lifting platform 21. The lifting table 21 protrudes from the front and rear of the substrate 21a (before and after the conveyance direction of the container 2), and the support plates 21b and 21b are formed in a concave shape in the side surface direction. The support member 2 1 b forms a longitudinal plate-like member in the left-right direction, and when the upper end faces of the front and rear support plates 2 1 b · 2 1 b abut against the container 2 of the first standby position W1, the container 2 can be stably supported. Lifting table 2 1 . The conveyor 4 is formed with an opening 4d · 4d - 14- (12) 1287528 inserted through the support plate 21b · 21b, forming a support plate 21b. 21b is in contact with the underside of the container 2. Further, the front and rear widths of the support plates 2 1 b are formed to be narrower than the interval between the rollers 1 3 · 1 3, and the support plates 2 1 b · 2 1 b are respectively brought into contact with the lower surface of the container 2 through the rollers 1 3 · 1 3 . Further, the lifting table 21 can be housed on the lower side of the conveying surface of the conveyor 4 in addition to the storage operation of the container 2 of the first storage means 15. Specifically, the upper end of the lifting table 21 is positioned at the lower side of the upper end of the roller 1 3 · 1 3 ... provided in the conveyor 4. Further, the lifting table 21 is formed so as not to hinder the transportation of the container 2 on the conveyor 4. The control of the height position of the above lifting table 21 is performed by the above-described control device provided by the lifting means 19. Further, the control device may be connected to a central control means (not shown) of the entire transportation system 100, and may be configured to control the operation of the elevating means 19 by a command from the central control means, or may separately control the operation of the elevating means 19. Composition. On the other hand, the holding means 19 is constituted by four blocking portions 22 and 22 which are disposed outside the conveyor 4 and which surround the lifting and lowering means 19, and a control device (not shown) for controlling the blocking portions 22 and 22. Each of the blocking portions 22 includes a cylindrical pillar 23 that is vertically provided on the floor surface, and a rotating body 24 that rotates with respect to the pillar 23 that is coaxially provided with the pillar 23, and the rotating body 24 is fixed with the blocking member 25. The details are as described later, but the blocking member 25 is a member for blocking (holding) the container 2. The above-described control device provided in the holding means 18 controls the rotational driving of the rotating body 24 (the blocking member 25) at each of the blocking portions 22. In particular, the control unit can control the four blocking members 1287528 (13) 25 to drive synchronously. Here, the blocking member 25 is held at the position of the container 2 by the holding means 18, in other words, at the position where the blocking member 25 is engaged with the container 2, and is set to the blocking position S. Fig. 5 shows a state in which the holding means 18 is a state in which the blocking member 25 is at the blocking position S. In each of the blocking portions 22, each of the blocking members 25 having an "L" shape in plan view has a front end portion 25a facing the first standby position W1 side, and the four front end portions 25a in the planar direction are located at the first standby position W1. The container 2 is in a repeating positional relationship. The guide recesses 2b, 2b of the container 2 are formed with the engagement recesses 2d, 2d from the outer side to the inner side of the container 2, respectively. Each of the engagement recesses 2d is formed at an appropriate height position (described later) of the seat storage container 2 at a position corresponding to the front end portion 25a of the blocking member 25, and the front end portion 25a can be inserted and engaged when the blocking member 25 is used as the blocking position S. Concave 2d. As shown in Fig. 6, the container 2 is raised by the lifting means 19, and the height position of the container 2 and the blocking member 25 after the engagement is raised is formed at an appropriate height position. Further, the height positions of the respective blocking members 25 are the same height position. That is, when the container 2 is at this height position, the front end portion 25a is inserted into each of the engagement recesses 2d, and the container 2 is fixed by the holding means 18. Hereinafter, the height position (the height position at which the engagement recess 2d of the container 2 engages with the front end portion 25a of the blocking member 25) serves as a fixed height position R of the holding means 18 to the container 2. Further, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6 , each of the blocking members 25 is formed at the blocking position S by the standby -16 - 1287528 (14). Further, when the empty container 2 is held at the first position by the holding means 18, the container 2 (the state shown in Fig. 5) located at the first standby position w1 is moved to the fixed height position R by the lifting means 19 ( During the period of the state shown in Fig. 6, the distal end portion 25a is rotated toward a position opposite to the center side of the holding means 18 (outside of the first standby position W1 and outside of the fixed height position R), so that the blocking member 25 is Block position S is separated. Further, each of the blocking members 25 and the container 2 are not in contact with each other, and the container 2 can be moved (raised) from the first standby position W1 to the fixed height position R. As shown in Fig. 7, the stackable container 2 is formed from the container positioned at the fixed height position R toward the upper side. The lowermost container 2 of the group 2 of the containers to be stacked is held by the holding means 18, and all the containers 2 after stacking can be stored, and the container 2 is formed by the protruding portion 2e provided on the upper end side of the container 2 as described above. The engagement formation of the engagement holes 2f on the lower end side can be formed to be laminated to each other. The operation sequence when the container 2 is stacked in the first storage means 15 using the seventh and eighth drawings will be described below. Fig. 7 is a view showing a state in which the container 2 is transported to the first standby position W1 when the container 2 is stored. This is the first state. In the first state, the lifting/lowering means 19 is driven to abut against the container 2 held by the lifting means 19 in the container 2 (the container 2 at the fixed height position R) of the holding means 18, or to the substantially abutting position. This is the second state. -17- 1287528 (15) In the second state, the holding means 18 can release the holding of the container 2 by the fixed height position R. Specifically, as described above, the rotation is performed to disengage all of the blocking members 25 from the blocking position S (the container 2 at the blocking position s). At this time, the lifting means 19 is applied to the container 2 supported at the time of the second state, while supporting the container 2 held by the holding means 18. This is the third state. In the third state, in order to allow the lowermost container 2 supported by the lifting means 19 to reach the fixed height position R, the lifting means 19 causes the container 2. 2 rises. Specifically, the height of one container 2 is moved only upward by the elevating table 21. Further, the blocking member 25 is again rotated to the blocking position S, and the holding of the lowermost container 2 supported by the lifting means 19 is performed. This is the fourth state, that is, the state shown in Fig. 8. As described above, the first storage means 15 can sequentially stack the containers 2 reaching the first standby position W1 from the fixed height position R. Further, when the first storage means 15 returns one container 2 to the conveyor 4 from the container 2·2 after storage and storage (moving to the first standby position W1), it is only necessary to hold the holding means 18 and the lifting means 19 The action may be reversed from the first to the fourth state described above. Therefore, the first storage means 15 can store the container 2 positioned at the first standby position W 1 in the upper position of the conveyor 4, and can restore the stored container 2 to the first standby position on the conveyor 4 again. W1. The first storage means configured as described above forms the container 2 to be stored directly above the conveyor 4, and allows the container on the conveyor 4 to pass. In other words, the lowermost orientation -18 - 1287528 (16) of the container 2 stored in the first storage means 15 is set to the above-mentioned fixed height position R, and the fixed height position R can be passed through the space of the container on the conveyor 4 to form a container. 2 Stored directly above the conveyor 4. Therefore, by providing the storage means of the container 2 in the transport system 1", it is possible to suppress an increase in the space in which the container storage means is installed. Further, since the conveyor 4 is not blocked by the container storage means, the transportation efficiency is not lowered. Further, the storage position of the container 2 is located at a position directly above the conveyor 4, and the lifting means 19 is only required as a transfer means of the container 2. The configuration of the storage transfer device can be simplified as compared with the case where the storage position is set in another portion (it is not necessary to move the means 19 in the horizontal direction). Therefore, the overall configuration of the transport system 100 can also be simplified. Next, the second storage means 16 for storing the sheet glass 1 will be described below. The sheet glass 1 is supplied to each processing apparatus 5. In addition, in the state in which each of the processing apparatuses 5 is taken out from the container 2 in advance, the operation efficiency of each processing apparatus 5 can be improved. Even when the flat glass 1 is not supplied from the conveyor 4, the processing can be continued by the stored flat glass 1, and the stop time does not occur. The above problem (when the sheet glass 1 is not supplied) has, for example, a difference in the time required for processing one sheet glass 1 of each processing apparatus 5. In other words, the second storage means 16 stores the sheet glass 1 for processing in advance, and the operation efficiency of the processing apparatus 5 corresponding to the second storage means 16 can be prevented from being lowered. Moreover, even if the flat glass 1 continuously conveyed by the conveyor 4 is not processed by the 1287528 (17) processing apparatus 5, it can be temporarily stored in the second storage means 16 to prevent the conveyance path from being a waiting plate. The glass bottle is blocked. As shown in Fig. 1, the second storage means 16 is disposed on the upstream side of the first storage means 15 in the transport path. The second storage means 16 is a scaffolding 26 that is disposed above the conveyor 4 to form a fixed buffer, and a support base 27 that supports the scaffolding 28 with respect to the floor surface. The support base 27 is provided with a support plate 27a having a rectangular shape in plan view, and four support legs 27b extending downward from the four corners of the support plate 27a. Further, the left and right support legs 2 7b · 2 7b are disposed across the conveyor 4, respectively, and the scaffold 26 is supported above the conveyor 4. Further, the height position of the lower surface of the support plate 27a is such that it is formed above the container 2 on the conveyor 4, and the container 2 does not interfere with the conveyance path by the second storage means 16. The scaffolding 26 can accommodate a plurality of flat glass 1 in the vertical direction, and is opened on the side of the processing apparatus 5, and the transfer glass 8 can be transferred by the transfer device 8. The scaffold 26 has a rectangular parallelepiped casing except for the upper surface of the processing device 5 side. In the casing 26a formed on the four sides, a plurality of shelving plates 26b, 26b, ... are disposed in the vertical direction inside the casing 26a. A plurality of support members for supporting the flat glass 1 are vertically disposed on the upper surface of each of the scaffolding plates 26b. Further, a space is formed between the sheet glass 1 placed in the state and the bottom surface 2a of the container 2. Since the space can be transferred to the flat glass 1 by the transfer device 8, a space into which the fork 10a can be inserted is formed. Vertical -20- 1287528 (18) A plurality of support bodies provided on each of the scaffolding plates 26b are disposed at the intersection of the grid-like patterns to form the yokes l〇a from the left and right directions without being in contact with the support body. . Among them, the transfer device 8 is provided with the lifting means of the manipulator 10, so that the transfer can be performed even when the position of the transfer position and the position of the transfer are different. Specifically, the transfer device 8 is provided with means for receiving position information at the transfer or transfer position. Further, based on the position information, the control device provided in the transfer device 8 controls the movement of the robot 10 to move up and down, and the transfer of the sheet glass 1 can be performed between the transfer position and the transfer position at an appropriate position. That is, the transfer device 8 can be utilized by using the storage position (the scaffolding plate 26) provided in the upper and lower most of the scaffolding 26 as the transfer position and transfer position. The storage of the sheet glass 1 of the second storage means 16 is as follows. On the conveyor 4, the position of the scaffold 26 in the planar direction is repeated as the second standby position W2 of the container 2. The flat glass 1 for storing the second storage means 16 is stored in the container 2 where the second standby position W2 is stopped. The transfer device 8 takes out the flat glass 1 by means of the container 2 positioned at the second standby position W2. Further, the robot 1 is lifted by the driving of the elevating means provided in the transfer device 8, and the flat glass 1 is transferred to the scaffolding body 6 6b at an appropriate position in the scaffold 26. The shed body 26b, which is an appropriate position, is a shed body 26b which indicates the transfer position in the scaffolding body 26b provided in the scaffolding 26, in accordance with the processing order or the like. On the other hand, the empty container 2 located at the second standby position W2 is transported along the conveyor 4 toward the first standby position W 1 on the downstream side, and is stored at -2187528 ♦ (19) The first storage means 15 described above . As described above, the second storage means 16 can store the number of storable sheets of the sheet glass 1 of the flat glass 1 to the scaffold 26 (the number of the scaffold bodies 26b), and the flat glass 1 is taken out from the second storage means 16. At this time, the transfer device 8 drives the elevating means to raise and lower the height of the scaffolding body 26b corresponding to the transfer position in the robot 10, and take out the flat glass 1 from the scaffolding 26. As described above, the transport system 100 includes the second storage means 16 for storing the sheet glass 1, and the transfer means 8. Among them, the second storage means 16 can store the flat plate 1 above the container 2 on the conveyor 4. Further, the transfer device 8 is provided with a lifting means for the robot 10, and can be transferred between the transfer position and the transfer position which are different in height position from each other. Therefore, the transfer of the container 2 on the transport path is not hindered, and the transfer device 8 can transfer the sheet glass 1 to the storage position (the above-described scaffolding plate 26b) above the transporter 4 for each processing device 5, and can be temporarily stored. Flat glass 1 for processing. In particular, when the second storage means 16 is configured to store a plurality of flat glass sheets 1 in the vertical direction, the transfer device 8 can transfer the sheet glass 1 from a storage position (the above-described shelving plate 26b) of an arbitrary height. Therefore, in the order of transport of the conveyor 4 toward the processing apparatus 5, "first in first out" of the sheet glass 1 can be performed. For example, when the sheet glass 1 is transferred to the second storage means 16 by the transfer device 8, it is stored in the order of the scaffolding plate 26b of the uppermost stage of the second storage means 16. When the flat glass 1·1 is taken out, it is taken out in the order of the uppermost scaffolding plate 26b of the first (20) 1287528. As described above, the second storage means 16 can be taken out in the order in which the flat glass 1 is first stored, thereby realizing the FIFO of the flat glass. Further, it may be stored and taken out in the order of the scaffolding plate 26b of the uppermost stage of the second storage means 16. Alternatively, by means of the means for managing the storage order of the second storage means 16, the first-in first-out can be performed regardless of the vertical position of the scaffolding plate 26b. Further, when the scaffolding 26 is stored in the vertical direction, the increase in the installation space of the second storage means 16 is not caused. Further, in the embodiment of the present embodiment, only the sheet glass 1 is housed in the second storage means 16 and the empty container 1 is stacked in the first storage means 15 for storage, so that the empty container 2 can be immediately supplied to the treated sheet glass 1. In the second storage means 16, the storage means of the sheet glass 1 may be replaced by the scaffolding 26 or by a group of containers 2 which are laminated. As described above, the transfer device 8 can take out the flat glass 1 from the container 2 in the stacked state or store the flat glass 1 in the container 2. At this time, the container group 2 is supported on the above-mentioned support table 27. Alternatively, the second storage means may have the same configuration as the first storage means 15, and the container group 2 stored in the second storage means may be used as a storage means for the flat glass 1. Next, the third storage means 1 7 for storing the container 2 for accommodating the flat glass 1 will be described below. As shown in Fig. 1, in the present embodiment, basically, the container 2 (accommodating the flat glass 1) that is transported toward a certain processing device 5 is stored in the second storage means as a means of protecting the flat glass 1 of the 1287528 (21) tube. 1 6. However, depending on the processing speed of each processing device 5, the transport of the container 2 accommodating the sheet glass 1 is caused to be retained on the conveyor 4. In response to the above, a third storage means 17 as means for storing the container 2 for storing the sheet glass 1 is provided. The third storage means 17 is an auxiliary storage means of the second storage means 16, and is provided on the upstream side of the second storage means 16. As shown in Fig. 1, the third storage means 17 has the same configuration as the first storage means 15. Therefore, the description of the configuration will be omitted. When the flat glass 1 is not stored by the second storage means 16 in the case where the flat glass 1 cannot be stored, the third storage means 17 is different from the first maintenance means 15 in the state in which the flat glass 1 is stored. The stored flat glass 1 is directly supplied to the processing apparatus 5 by the transfer device, or forms a vacant portion (on the empty scaffolding plate 26b) of the scaffold 26 to which the second storage means 16 is supplied. Further, the third storage means 17 sequentially stacks the containers 2 to push upward from the lower side. Therefore, in the container 2 stored in the third storage means 17, the uppermost container 2 is formed as a container which is initially stored. Therefore, the transfer device 8 sequentially takes out the sheet glass 1 from the upper container 2 toward the lower container 2, and the order of "first in, first out" can be performed. Further, in the third storage means 17, the position where the container 2 to be kept is stopped is set as the third standby position W3 on the conveyor 4. The container 2 located at the third standby position W3 is stored in the third storage means 17 by the coordinated operation of the storage means 18 and the lifting means provided in the third storage means 17. When the container 2 stored in the third storage means 17 is taken out, it is placed on the conveyor 4 which forms the transport position W3 of the third -24 - (22) 1287528 by the coordinated operation of the holding means 18 and the lifting means 19. . Further, the coordinated operation of the holding means 18 and the lifting means 19 is performed by the control means provided by the control means 1 8 and the control means provided by the lifting means 19. Alternatively, a higher-level control device that combines the two control devices or a combination of the two control devices may be provided to form the above-described coordinated action. The transport system 100 includes a transporter 4·4 that transports the container 2 of the flat glass 1 that houses the plate, and a transfer device 8 that transfers the flat glass 1 between the container 2 and the processing device 5. According to the above configuration, the sheet glass 1 is protected in the container 2, and direct contact with the transport path formed by the driving means of the conveyor 4 or the like can be avoided, and the quality of the sheet glass 1 can be prevented from being lowered. Further, the transfer device 8 is provided, and even when the flat glass 1 is transported on the transporter 4 in the state in which the container 2 is housed, the flat glass 1 can be transferred only on the processing device 5. Therefore, even if the configuration of the sheet glass 1 is protected as described above, no problem occurs. Further, the transport system 100 includes a first storage means 15 for protecting the empty containers 2, 2, ... after the flat glass 1 is taken out. Therefore, the container 2 of the flat glass 1 in the process can be stored regardless of the time required for the processing apparatus 5 to process the empty container 2 after the sheet glass 1 is supplied to the processing apparatus 5. Therefore, after the processing of the processing apparatus 5 is completed, the sheet glass 1 can be housed in the container 2 and transported again along the conveyor 4. In particular, in the embodiment of the present embodiment, each processing device 5 has a configuration in which the first storage means 16 is provided. Therefore, when the treatment device 5 completes the processing of the glass plate 1287528 (23), the container 2 serving as the protection means for the flat glass 1 is immediately supplied to the conveyor 4 closest to the processing device 5, and the protective plate glass 1 can be housed. In particular, when the storage means for the empty container 2 is provided corresponding to each of the plurality of processing apparatuses 5, or when a part of the transport system is different from the processing apparatus 5, the supply speed of the empty container 2 can be compared. More rapid. Further, the transport system 100 of the present embodiment includes a third storage means 17 for storing the containers 2, 2, ... in which the flat glass 1 is housed. Therefore, even when the processing speed of the sheet glass 1 is different between the processing apparatuses 5·5. Since each of the processing apparatuses 5 can store the container 2 in which the sheet glass 1 is housed, it is possible to prevent the container 4 on the conveyor 4 from being stored during transportation of the sheet glass 1. Further, the case where the above-described stay is not caused may be configured as a transport system that does not include the third storage means 17. Further, although the transport system 100 of the present embodiment has the configuration of the second storage means 16 for storing the flat glass 1, the transport system may be constituted without the second storage means 16. At this time, the transfer by the transfer device 8 is limited to the above-described standby positions W1 to W3 on the side of the conveyor 4 (when the third storage means 17 is provided). Therefore, a certain transfer height position on the side of the conveyor 4 is formed, so that the transfer device 8 which can be transferred between the transfer position in situ and the transfer position different from each other in height position is not necessarily required. That is, as long as a transfer device for transferring the sheet glass 1 is formed between the conveyor 4 and the workstation 6. For example, by means of a conveyor of the same or similar construction as that of the conveyor 4 described above, the transfer of the flat glass 1 between the containers 2 -26- 1287528 (24) on the conveyor 4 and the workstation 6 is used instead. Device 8. In the present embodiment, the container of the flat glass 1 accommodating the plate member has a shape in which the tray is opened to the outside air. However, the container is not limited to this shape, and the sealed container that shields the outside air can be shielded. Alternatively, the sealed container may have a laminated structure similarly to the container 2 described above. When the above-mentioned stackable closed container is formed to accommodate the plate container during transportation, the cover switch means provided in the closed container is placed on the transport system. In particular, in the state in which the closed container is stacked, the plate can be transferred, and the cover is provided on the side of the sealed container, and the switching means preferably includes a lifting means for changing the height position. Next, the second transport system 200 for the transport system of the present invention is explained below. It differs from the first transport system 100 in the transfer of the processing device 5 by the transporter 4. In other words, in the first transport system 100, the transfer device that transfers the sheet glass 1 between the container 2 on the conveyor 4 and the processing device 5 uses a transfer device 8 including a robot, but the second transport system 200 is a through hole formed in a part of the bottom surface of the container, and the transfer device is different in that a roller transfer means having a transfer roller that expands and contracts from the through hole toward the up and down direction is used, and between the conveyor 4 and the processing device 5 A contact conveyor that transports the flat glass 1. The differences from the first transport system 1 to the second transport system 200 will be specifically described below as follows. -27- (25) 1287528 The bottom surface 202a of the container 202 is formed with a through hole 31 which can pass through a roller group including a transfer roller which will be described later. Next, the roller transfer means 32 having the transfer roller will be described below using FIG. The roller transfer means 32 is mainly constituted by a base portion 33, a lifting table 34, a roller group 35, a transfer roller 36, a control device 40, and the like. The roller transfer means 32 is disposed below the conveyor 4. The base portion 33 of the transfer device has a mechanism for raising and lowering in the vertical direction, and the upper portion of the base portion 33 is provided with a lifting platform 34. Further, a roller group 35·35(...) is vertically disposed on the upper surface of the lifting platform 34. Further, on the roller group 35, a transfer roller 36·36··· which is rotatably driven is pivoted. The upper portion of the lifting table 34 of the roller transfer unit 32 (the lifting table 34, the roller group 35, and the transfer roller 36) is lifted and lowered. Further, the roller transfer device 32 is provided with the control means 40, and the control means 40 can control the raising and lowering of the roller transfer means 32 and the rotational driving of the transfer roller 36. Further, the control means 40 is connected to the central control means (not shown) of the entire transportation system 200, and is not limited to the configuration in which the operation of the roller transfer means 32 is controlled in accordance with a command from the central control means, or the roller transfer is separately controlled. The structure of the action of the means 3 2 . On the other hand, an opening is formed in the bottom surface of the conveyor 4, and the roller group 35 projects upward through the opening of the bottom surface of the conveyor 4. The height above the roller set 35 is the upper end of the rollers 13 · 13 ... of the transfer conveyor 4 when the roller transfer means 3 2 is lowered (the height abutting the bottom surface of the container 202 transported along the transport path) Low standby position. (26) 1287528 In addition, the height above the roller set 35 is such that when the roller transfer means 32 is raised, it comes to the upper end of the rollers 13 · 13 ... of the transfer conveyor 4 (with the container 202 transported along the transport path) The height at which the bottom surface abuts) the high transfer position. That is, the roller transfer means 3 2 controls the roller set to be freely switchable between the standby position and the transfer position by means of the control means 4, and only the flat glass 1 can be transferred from the container 202. Further, as shown in Fig. 10, the roller group 35·35... is disposed and disposed through the through hole 31 formed in the bottom surface 202a of the container 202 when the container 202 is on the conveyor 4 and is positioned directly above the roller transfer unit 32. · 31...The position in the upper view direction is approximately the same. Further, the shape of the upper cross-sectional shape of the roller group 35 is smaller than that of the through-hole 3 1 . The transfer rollers 3 6 · 3 6 on the upper side of the roller group 3 5 · 3 5 ... are lighter than the upper sub-group 35 · 35···. Further, when the roller transfer means 32 is raised, the upper end of the transfer roller 36 is formed at a position higher than the upper end of the support body 14 (accommodating the lower surface of the flat glass 1 of the container 202) of the container 202 provided on the conveyance path. Further, the axial direction of the rotating shaft of the transfer roller 36 substantially coincides with the transport direction of the transport path. According to the above configuration, when the container 202 is positioned on the conveyor 4 at a position directly above the roller transfer unit 32, the roller group 35 is raised upward from the through hole 3 1 of the container 202 when the roller transfer unit 32 is raised. . Further, when the flat glass 1 is housed in the container 20, the lower surface of the flat glass 1 is supported by the upper end of the transfer roller 3 6 · 3 6 ... to form a state in which the support body 14 is separately lifted. At this time, the upper end height of the guides 202c to 202c of the container 202 is lower than the lower surface of the flat glass 1 lifted by the transfer rollers 36·36. When the transfer roller 36 is rotationally driven in this state, the sheet glass 1 supported on the transfer roller 36 is conveyed toward the side of the conveyance path. Further, in the present embodiment, the lift table 34 is provided with a total of six sets of roller sets 3 5 · 3 5 ..., but the roller set provided on the lift table 34 as long as the flat glass 1 can be transferred to the contact conveyor 30 The number of 35s can be set to at least one base. Further, the number of transfer rollers 36 provided in the roller group 35 may be set to at least one. Further, the transfer roller 36 is not limited to the wheel type, and for example, a crawler type in which the belt guide is wound may be used. Next, the communication conveyor 30 will be described as follows using Fig. 9. As shown in Fig. 9, the contact conveyors 30·30 are disposed on the side of the roller transfer means 32·32 provided below the conveyor 4 constituting the transport path. The communication conveyor 30 provided on the upstream side of the conveyance path (the direction in which the container 202 of the sheet glass 1 before the conveyance processing apparatus is processed) is connected to the conveyance machine 4 and the conveyance port (not shown) of the processing apparatus, and the flat glass is formed. 1 The transport path for transporting from the conveyor 1 to the processing unit. The contact conveyor 30 provided on the downstream side of the transport path (the direction in which the container 202 of the flat glass 1 processed by the storage processing device is transported) is connected to the transporter 4 and the transport port (not shown) of the processing device to form a flat plate. The transport path for the glass 1 to be transported from the processing device to the transporter 4. 30- 1287528 (28) The basic configuration of the contact conveyor 30 is substantially the same as that of the conveyor 4, and includes a plurality of rollers 37·37···; a driving force transmission mechanism (not shown) that rotationally drives the rollers 37; The glass 1 does not lead to the guide 38·38 for detachment from the contact conveyor 37; and the support legs 39·39··· and the like. However, unlike the conveyor 4, the material of the abutting portion between the point where the roller 37 abuts against the plate surface (lower surface) of the flat glass and the flat glass of the roller 37 is selected from rubber or resin, and is soft and does not hurt. The material of the flat glass 1 is preferably good. Further, it is preferable to close the transport inlet and the transport outlet of the processing apparatus to the transporter 4 as much as possible, so as to shorten the transport distance of the contact transporter 30. Further, the upper end of the roller 37 of the communication conveyor 30 is formed at a position where the height of the lower surface of the sheet glass 1 which is lifted from the container 2 by the roller transfer means 32 is substantially the same height. According to the above configuration, the surface of the flat glass 1 which does not damage the large-area and large-weight plate can be transported. Further, the roller transfer unit 32 is disposed below the conveyor, and includes a transfer roller 36 that expands and contracts upward from the through hole 31 of the container 202. The flat glass 1 can be taken out from the container 202 without using a transfer means of a complicated mechanism such as a robot, and the flat glass 1 can be efficiently accommodated in the container 2 0 2 , and the upstream side of the transport path shown in Fig. 9 Further, other container storage means having substantially the same configuration as the storage means (first container storage means) 15 are provided on the upstream side of the lepton transfer means 32, and the container 2 〇 2 in which the flat glass 1 is accommodated can be stacked and stored in the same manner. · 202···. With the above configuration, it is possible to wait for the flat glass 1 to be carried into the container 2 02 · 2 02 in the apparatus - 31 - (29) 1287528 to chase the other container 202 on the conveyor 4. Next, an embodiment in which the temporary storage device is installed in the middle of the transport path will be described below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 11 is a perspective view showing an overall configuration of a temporary storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 12 is a perspective view showing a state in which a lower portion of the temporary storage device protrudes from a floor space.

1 1 5a…。藉著上述馬達的驅動使輥子115a· 115a···與驅 動軸115b同時轉動。因此，棚架115可作爲輥子運送機 的功能，進行將容器2從收納部1 0 3的棚架1 13至棚架 1 15的移載，或者從棚架1 15至下游側運送機4g的移載 。棚架115上面的下游側設置可自由出沒以作爲移載容器 2時定位用的檔止器（未圖示）。檔止器突出的狀態下，即 使輥子115a轉動時，可藉著檔止器使容器2不會向下游 側移動。在檔止器退入的狀態下，藉著輥子1 1 5a的轉動 使容器2朝著下游側移動。並且，也可以作爲使出庫手段 105自由升降的水平多關節式控制器，或搭載可自由升降 的滑動叉架的移載裝置。並且，升降手段105b的纜線 -36- 1287528 (34) l〇5c與滑輪l〇5d也可以使用皮帶與滑輪，或者鏈條與鏈 輪。另外，升降手段105b也可以設置上下方向豎設的升 降導件（桅桿），沿著升降導件升降的構成。1 1 5a... The rollers 115a, 115a, ... are simultaneously rotated with the drive shaft 115b by the driving of the motor. Therefore, the scaffolding 115 can function as a roller conveyor to transfer the container 2 from the scaffolding 1 13 of the accommodating portion 103 to the scaffolding 1 15 or from the scaffolding 1 15 to the downstream side conveyor 4g. Transfer. On the downstream side of the upper side of the scaffolding 115, a stopper (not shown) for positioning when the transfer container 2 is detached is provided. In the state where the stopper is protruded, even if the roller 115a is rotated, the container 2 can be prevented from moving to the downstream side by the stopper. In the state where the stopper is retracted, the container 2 is moved toward the downstream side by the rotation of the roller 1 15a. Further, it may be used as a horizontal multi-joint controller that allows the outlet means 105 to freely ascend and descend, or a transfer device that mounts a freely movable sliding fork. Further, the cable -36 - 1287528 (34) l〇5c and the pulley l〇5d of the lifting means 105b may also use a belt and a pulley, or a chain and a sprocket. Further, the elevating means 105b may be provided with a lifting guide (a mast) that is vertically arranged in the vertical direction and that is raised and lowered along the elevating guide.
以上構成的暫時保管裝置101中，容器2(平板玻璃 1)的出入庫及保管是如以下進行。首先，以入庫手段104 的升降手段104b進行棚架114升降，使棚架114的運送 面高度與運送機4f的運送面高度一致。並且，將沿著運 送機4f從上游側運送來的容器2從運送機4f移載至入庫 手段104的棚架1 14。此時，容器2以運送機4f的輥子 運送的同時，並以入庫手段的棚架 114a· 114a··· —邊帶 入而運送，在抵接配置棚架1 1 4下游側的檔止器的位置停 止。In the temporary storage device 101 having the above configuration, the storage and storage of the container 2 (flat glass 1) are carried out as follows. First, the scaffolding 114 is lifted and lowered by the elevating means 104b of the storage means 104 so that the height of the transport surface of the scaffolding 114 coincides with the height of the transport surface of the transporter 4f. Then, the container 2 transported from the upstream side along the transporter 4f is transferred from the transporter 4f to the scaffolding 14 of the storage means 104. At this time, the container 2 is transported by the rollers of the conveyor 4f, and is carried by the scaffolding 114a, 114a, ... of the storage means, and is stopped by the stopper on the downstream side of the scaffold 1 1 4 . The position stops.
並且，使載置該容器2的棚架114升降，使棚架114 的運送面高度與收納部103的任一空棚架1 13的運送面高 度一致，將容器2從棚架114移載至空的棚架113。其中 ，「空棚架」是表示收納部103的複數棚架113 · 113… 之中，未收納容器2的棚架。此時，以入庫手段104的棚 架1 14的輥子1 14a · 1 14a…運送容器2的同時，並以收 納部103的棚架113的輥子113a· 113a_·· —邊帶入而運 送，在抵接配置棚架1 1 3下游側的檔止器的位置停止。如 上述，容器2可入庫於暫時保管裝置1 〇 1的收納部1 〇3內 其次，針對收納於暫時保管裝置1 0 1的收納部1 03的 容器2，說明其出庫的場合如下。利用出庫手段1 〇5的升 -37- 1287528 (35) 降手段105b升降棚架115，使棚架115的運送面高度與 收納部1 〇 3任意非空的棚架1 1 3的運送面高度一致。並且 ，從非空的棚架1 1 3移載置棚架1 1 5。其中，所謂「非空 的棚架」是表示收納部103的複數個棚架113 · 113…中 ，收納容器2的棚架。此時，容器2以收納部1 〇2的棚架 113的輥子113a· 113a…運送的同時，並以出庫手段1〇5 的棚架115的輕子115a· 115a…一邊帶入而運送，在抵 接配置棚架1 1 5下游側的檔止器的位置停止。 並且，升降放置該容器2的棚架115，使棚架115的 運送面高度與運送機4g的運送面高度一致，將容器2從 棚架115移載至運送機4g。此時，容器2以出庫手段1〇5 的棚架1 15的輥子1 15a · 1 15a…運送的同時，並以運送 機4g的輥子一邊帶入而運送。如上述，讓容器2從暫時 保管裝置101出庫，隨後以運送機4g運送容器2運送至 下游側。 如上述，將容器2收納在收納部1 〇 3的棚架1 1 3，保 管在暫時保管裝置101內。即利用所謂運送機運送的手段 ’可進行運送路徑的作業線上（運送路徑的延長線上）的緩 衝控制。又，將暫時保管裝置101的寬度構成爲大致運送 路徑的寬度，可以形成狹窄的暫時保管裝置101的寬度， 抑制其設置面積。 另外，以上的暫時保管裝置101中，進行容器的先出 先入時，可以如下進行。例如，將容器2從入庫手段1 〇4 的棚架1 1 4移載至收納部1 〇 3的空棚架1 1 3時，從收納部 -38 - 1287528 (36) 1 〇 3上的棚架1 1 3依照順序進行收納。並且，將容器2從 收納部103的非空棚架113移載至出庫手段105的棚架 1 1 5時，同樣從先收納的收納部1 03上的棚架1 1 3依序取 出。如上述，可以在暫時保管裝置1〇1中，從先運入的容 器2順利地依序運出，實現先出先入的運送。並且，也可 以從收納部1 03的下面棚架1 1 3進行收納•取出。另外， 收納部1 1 3中只有使用一部份時，可以在其使用棚架的範 圍內進行先進先出。此外，使用管理收納於收納部1 〇3的 順序的手段，不論棚架1 1 3的上下位置關係爲何，都可以 進行先出先入的運送。 另外，本實施例中，如第1 1圖表示，將收納部103 的棚架113其中之一設置在與運送路徑相同高度的位置。 即，使棚架113’的運送面高度與運送機4f· 4g的運送面 高度一致。並且，利用上述升降手段l〇4b · 105b，使棚 架114·115的各個運送面高度與棚架113’的運送面高度 及運送機4f · 4g的運送面高度一致時，從上游側依序將 運送機4f、棚架114、棚架113’、棚架115、運送機4g 以相同高度的位置配置在一直線上。因此，驅動各馬達， 轉動各輥子114a· 113a· 115a可以使棚架114· 113’· 1 1 5具有運送路徑一部份的功能。藉此，不需要將容器2 保管在暫時保管裝置101內時，將入庫手段3與出庫手段 105朝著與收納部103的一個棚架及運送路徑相同位置的 高度移動，可以只通過暫時保管手段101運送。例如，也 可以對應特急件等。但是，在棚架113’上不設置上述檔 -39- 1287528 (37) 止件，或者在棚架1 1 3 ’不收納容器2，必須經常保持著空 的狀態。因此，在進行上述先出先入時，同樣在棚架 1 1 3 ’不收納容器2。 如第12圖表示，同樣可以使暫時保管裝置101的下 部突出地板下的空間。第1 2圖中，以格柵地面作爲地板 106，地板106 —部份形成地板下空間i〇6a。並且，將暫 時保管裝置1 〇 1的下部地板下部份（突出部份）1 0 1 a突出地 板下空間1 06a，將地板下部份1 〇 1 a收納在柵格地面的地 板下空間106a內。即，將包括入庫手段1〇4的地板下部 份l〇4e與收納部103的棚架1 13的地板下部份103e與出 庫手段1 〇 5的地板下部份1 0 5 e突出地板下空間1 0 6 a。如 上述，暫時保管裝置1〇1的高度只具有如地板下空間 106a深度H1的高度即可。不需增加暫時保管裝置1〇1的 設置面積，即可增加暫時保管裝置1 0 1 (收納部1 0 3 )的容 器2的收納量。並可以有效利用地板1 〇 6的地板下部份。 此外，同時可利用天花板上的空間。此時，在天花板的一 部份形成空間，使包含暫時保管裝置101的棚架113的上 部突出空間內。藉此，同樣不需要增加暫時保管裝置101 的設置面積，增加容器2的收納量。並且同時可利用地板 下的空間與天花板上的空間雙方。 再者，以上是暫時保管裝置1 0 1中，在收納部1 〇 3的 下游側設置出庫手段1 〇 5的構成，但是出庫手段1 〇 5的功 能可兼用於入庫手段104，可形成不設置出庫手段1〇5的 構成。此時，在收納部1 03的上游側形成配置出入庫手段 -40 - (38) 1287528 的構成，可抑制前後方向的設置面積。並且，在運送機 4f · 4g及棚架1 13 · 1 14 · 1 15中，雖是以輥子運送機構 成容器2的運送•移載手段，但是也可以其他的運送•移 載手段，例如皮帶運送機等。或者，收納部1 〇3上雖在前 後只具備一列棚架1 1 3 · 1 1 3…的構成，但也可以前後具 備複數列的構成以增加容器2的收納量。此時，使前後並 排的複數個棚架的運送面高度一致。 並且，本實施的形態中，在入庫手段10 4、收納部 103、出庫手段105所有皆設置驅動源（馬達），驅動各個 棚架 114· 113· 115 的輥子 114a· 113a· 115a，但是也 可藉著入庫手段104的棚架114的輥子114a或者出庫手 段105的棚架115的輥子115a驅動的傳達以驅動收納部 1 03的各棚架1 1 3的輥子1 1 3 a。如上述，可以簡化收納部 1 〇3的構造。例如，以環形皮帶連接各棚架1 1 3的驅動軸 1 13b · 1 13b···，將被傳達輥配置在入庫手段1〇4及出庫手 段1 05側，並同時以環形皮帶連接被傳達輥子。因此，一 但轉動被傳達輥子時，構成連動驅動軸而轉動。並且，在 入庫手段104及出庫手段1〇5上設置接觸被傳達輥子形成 可自由進退的傳達輥子。棚架1 1 4 · 1 1 5升降時，使傳達 輥退入棚架114· 115內部。棚架114· 115形成與目的棚 架Η 3相同高度位置時，使傳達輥子突出棚架1 1 3側，抵 接被傳達輥子，可藉此驅動棚架1 1 3的輥子1 1 3 a。又， 本實施例中，雖是藉著未圖式的檔止器進行棚架114· 113· 115上的容器2的定位，但是也可以在棚架Π4· -41 - (39) 1287528 1 1 3 · 1 1 5的端部設置感測器，以感測器檢測容器2停止 輥子114a· 113a· 115a的轉動，進行定位。並且，也可 以在棚架1 1 4 · 1 1 3 · 1 1 5的預定位置設置感測器，以感測 器檢測容器2使輥子1 14a · 1 13a · 1 15a的轉動減速，在 充分減速後利用檔止器讓容器2停止。 〔發明效果〕 如本發明之運送收納板狀物的容器的運送系統，由於 具備：運送容器的運送機；在處理板狀物的處理裝置與容 器之間進行板狀物移載的移載裝置；及保管板狀物供給處 理裝置後的容器的容器保管手段，因此， 板狀物收納於容器的狀態下在運送機上運送時，可對 於處理裝置只移載板狀物。因此，即使以容器保護板狀物 也不會發生對於處理裝置供給上的問題。尤其是，容易撓 曲或損傷的大型板狀物也本發明可適於收納容器容易進行 運送。 並且，板狀物供給處理裝置後的空容器，可以各個處 理裝置預先保管。因此，處理裝置的處理結束後可以立即 將板狀物收納在容器內，再次沿著運送路徑運送。 並且，上述容器保管手段爲了使上述運送機上的上述 容器通過而將容器保管在運送機的正上方。 利用容器保管手段，不致遮蔽容器的運送路徑，不會 導致運送效率的降低。此外，將容器的保管位置設在運送 路徑的正上方，可抑制設置面積的增加，同時也可只以升 •42- 1287528 (40) 降手段作爲容器的移載手段，與在其他部位設定保管位置 比較，可以簡化保管用的移載裝置的構成。因此，同時可 簡化運送系統整體的構成。 另外，爲了使上述運送機上可通過上述容器，具備將 上述板狀物保管在運送機正上方的板狀物保管手段， 因此不致遮蔽容器的運送路徑，可以將處理用的板狀 物暫時保管在各個處理裝置內。 並且，在上述容器底面的一部份設置穿通孔的同時， 在豎設側方的導件上方形成板狀物可通過的空間，上述移 載裝置配置在上述運送機下方的同時，板狀物從空間通過 的移載位置與低於運送機上的容器底面的待機位置之間， 具備從穿通孔朝著上下方向伸縮的移載輥子，及運送機與 上述處理裝置之間運送上述板狀物的聯絡運送機， 因此，不需要使用具有機械手等複雜機構的移載手段 只需將板狀物從容器中取出，並可將板狀物收納在容器內 〇 並在運送路徑的途中配置暫時保管裝置，暫時保管裝 置，具備：上下具備複數個棚架的收納部；沿著收納部升降， 將上述容器從上述運送機傳送至收納部的入庫手段；及沿 著收納部升降，將上述容器從收納部傳送至運送機的出庫 手段，將入庫手段與收納部及出庫手段配置在運送路徑上， 可以形成狹窄的暫時保管裝置的設置寬度，抑制設置 面積。 另外’由於在上述容器保管手段的上游側及下游側配 -43- 1287528 (41) 置上述移載裝置，因此可以同時進行對於處理裝置的板狀 物的運入，及從處理裝置朝運送路徑的板狀物的運出，具 有高的運送能力。 另外’從上游側的移載裝置以至下游側的容器保管手 段’或者上游側的容器保管手段以至下游側的移載裝置， 可利用運送機容易運送容器。 並且’將上述棚架之一設置在與上述運送機運送面相 同的高度位置，以棚架與上述入庫手段及上述出庫手段作 爲運送機，如不需將容器保管在暫時保管裝置時，可以將 入庫手段與出庫手段移動至與收納部棚架其中之一及該運 送路徑相同高度位置，使容器只是通過暫時保管裝置運送 〇 再者’上述運送機是設置在地板上，突出地板下的空 間，或者天花板上的空間的其中至少一方空間配置上述棚 架，因此不需增加暫時保管裝置的設置面積，可增加容器 的收納量。 【圖式簡單說明】 第1圖是表示運送系統100的構成透視圖。 第2圖是表示運送容器2的運送機4的透視圖。 第3圖是表示平板玻璃1及容器2的透視圖。 第4圖是表示層疊狀態的容器2的透視圖。 第5圖是表示保持手段1 8的未保管狀態的第一保管 手段1 5的透視圖。 -44 -

Shelving 113. In addition, the "empty scaffolding" is a scaffold in which the container 2 is not accommodated among the plurality of scaffolds 113, 113... of the accommodating portion 103. At this time, the container 1 is transported by the rollers 1 14a · 1 14a of the scaffolding 1 14 of the storage means 104, and the rollers 113a, 113a, ... of the scaffolding 113 of the accommodating portion 103 are carried in, and are carried. The position of the stopper on the downstream side of the configuration scaffold 1 1 3 is stopped. As described above, the container 2 can be stored in the storage unit 1 〇 3 of the temporary storage device 1 其次 1 . Next, the container 2 stored in the storage unit 103 of the temporary storage device 10 1 will be described as follows. Lifting the scaffolding 115 by means of the lifting means 1 〇5 - 37 - 1287528 (35) descending means 105b, so that the height of the conveying surface of the scaffolding 115 and the height of the conveying surface of the accommodating portion 1 〇 3 of any non-empty scaffold 1 1 3 Consistent. And, the scaffold 1 1 5 is placed from the non-empty scaffold 1 1 3 . Here, the "non-empty scaffolding" is a scaffold in which the container 2 is housed in a plurality of scaffolds 113, 113, ... of the accommodating portion 103. At this time, the container 2 is conveyed by the rollers 113a and 113a of the scaffolding 113 of the accommodating unit 1 〇 2, and is carried by the lepton 115a·115a of the scaffolding 115 of the delivery means 1〇5. The position of the stopper on the downstream side of the configuration scaffold 1 1 5 is stopped. Then, the scaffolding 115 of the container 2 is raised and lowered to match the height of the conveying surface of the scaffolding 115 with the height of the conveying surface of the conveyor 4g, and the container 2 is transferred from the scaffolding 115 to the conveyor 4g. At this time, the container 2 is conveyed by the rollers 1 15a · 1 15a... of the scaffolding 1 15 of the delivery means 1〇5, and carried by the rollers of the conveyor 4g. As described above, the container 2 is taken out from the temporary storage device 101, and then transported to the downstream side by the transport container 4g. As described above, the container 2 is housed in the scaffold 1 1 3 of the storage unit 1 〇 3, and is stored in the temporary storage device 101. In other words, the means of transport by the conveyor can be used to perform the buffer control on the line of the transport path (the extension line of the transport path). Further, the width of the temporary storage device 101 is configured to be substantially the width of the transport path, and the width of the narrow temporary storage device 101 can be formed to suppress the installation area. Further, in the above temporary storage device 101, when the container is first used first and foremost, the following can be performed. For example, when the container 2 is transferred from the scaffold 1 1 4 of the storage means 1 〇 4 to the empty scaffold 1 1 3 of the accommodating part 1 〇 3, the shed from the accommodating section -38 - 1287528 (36) 1 〇 3 The racks 1 1 3 are stored in order. Further, when the container 2 is transferred from the non-empty scaffolding 113 of the accommodating portion 103 to the scaffolding 1 1 5 of the detaching means 105, the scaffold 1 1 3 on the accommodating portion 103 which is first stored is similarly taken out in order. As described above, in the temporary storage device 1〇1, the container 2 that has been transported in advance can be smoothly transported out in order to realize the first-in first-out delivery. Further, it is also possible to store and take out the scaffold 1 1 3 from the lower surface of the accommodating portion 103. Further, when only a part of the accommodating portion 1 1 3 is used, the FIFO can be performed within the range in which the scaffold is used. Further, by means of the means for managing the order of storage in the accommodating portion 1 〇 3, regardless of the vertical positional relationship of the scaffold 1 1 3, the first-in first-out delivery can be performed. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, one of the scaffoldings 113 of the accommodating portion 103 is provided at the same height as the transport path. That is, the height of the conveying surface of the scaffolding 113' is made to match the height of the conveying surface of the conveyor 4f·4g. Further, when the heights of the respective conveying surfaces of the scaffolding 114·115 are equal to the heights of the conveying surface of the scaffolding 113' and the conveying surface height of the conveyor 4f·4g by the above-described lifting/lowering means 10b, 105b, they are sequentially arranged from the upstream side. The conveyor 4f, the scaffolding 114, the scaffolding 113', the scaffolding 115, and the conveyor 4g are arranged on a straight line at the same height. Therefore, by driving the motors, turning the respective rollers 114a, 113a, 115a allows the scaffolding 114·113'·1 1 5 to have a function as a part of the transport path. Therefore, when the container 2 is not stored in the temporary storage device 101, the storage means 3 and the delivery means 105 are moved to the same height as the one of the scaffolding and the transport path of the storage unit 103, and only the temporary storage means can be used. 101 shipping. For example, it is also possible to correspond to a special item or the like. However, the above-mentioned gear - 39 - 1287528 (37) is not provided on the scaffold 113', or the container 2 is not stored in the scaffold 1 1 3 ', and must be kept empty. Therefore, when the first-in first-out is performed, the container 2 is not accommodated in the scaffold 1 1 3 '. As shown in Fig. 12, the lower portion of the temporary storage device 101 can also be made to protrude from the floor under the floor. In Fig. 2, the floor is made of the grille 106, and the floor 106 is partially formed into the underfloor space i〇6a. Further, the lower floor portion (protruding portion) of the temporary storage device 1 〇1 protrudes from the underfloor space 106a, and the underfloor portion 1〇1a is housed in the underfloor space 106a of the grid floor. Inside. That is, the underfloor portion l〇4e including the storage means 1〇4 and the underfloor portion 103e of the scaffolding 1 13 of the accommodating portion 103 and the underfloor portion 1 0 5 e of the delivery means 1 〇5 are protruded under the floor. Space 1 0 6 a. As described above, the height of the temporary storage device 1〇1 only has a height such as the depth H1 of the underfloor space 106a. The storage amount of the container 2 of the temporary storage device 10 1 (storage portion 1 0 3 ) can be increased without increasing the installation area of the temporary storage device 1〇1. And can effectively use the underfloor part of the floor 1 〇 6. In addition, the space on the ceiling can be utilized at the same time. At this time, a space is formed in a part of the ceiling so that the upper portion of the scaffolding 113 including the temporary storage device 101 protrudes into the space. Thereby, it is not necessary to increase the installation area of the temporary storage device 101, and the storage amount of the container 2 is increased. At the same time, both the space under the floor and the space on the ceiling can be utilized. In the above-described temporary storage device 101, the storage means 1 〇 5 is provided on the downstream side of the storage unit 1 〇 3, but the function of the delivery means 1 〇 5 can also be used for the storage means 104, and can be formed without setting. The structure of the delivery means 1〇5. At this time, a configuration in which the storage means -40 - (38) 1287528 is disposed is formed on the upstream side of the accommodating portion 103, and the installation area in the front-rear direction can be suppressed. Further, in the conveyors 4f and 4g and the scaffolds 1 13 · 1 14 · 1 15 , the transport and transfer means of the containers 2 are constituted by the roller conveyors, but other transport and transfer means such as belts may be used. Conveyor, etc. Alternatively, although only one row of scaffolds 1 1 3 · 1 1 3... is provided in the accommodating portion 1 〇3, a configuration of a plurality of rows may be provided in the front and rear to increase the storage amount of the container 2. At this time, the heights of the transport surfaces of the plurality of scaffoldings arranged side by side are made uniform. Further, in the embodiment of the present embodiment, the drive source (motor) is provided in all of the storage means 104, the storage unit 103, and the delivery means 105, and the rollers 114a, 113a, 115a of the scaffolding 114, 113, 115 are driven. The rollers 1 1 3 a of the scaffolds 1 1 3 of the storage unit 103 are driven by the rollers 114a of the scaffolding 114 of the storage means 104 or the rollers 115a of the scaffolding 115 of the storage means 105. As described above, the structure of the accommodating portion 1 〇 3 can be simplified. For example, the drive shafts 1 13b · 1 13b··· of the scaffolds 1 1 3 are connected by an endless belt, and the conveyance rollers are disposed on the side of the storage means 1〇4 and the delivery means 105, and are simultaneously conveyed by an endless belt connection. Roller. Therefore, when the roller is conveyed, the rotation of the drive shaft is formed. Further, the storage means 104 and the delivery means 1 to 5 are provided with a communication roller which is formed to be able to advance and retreat by contact with the conveyance roller. When the scaffolding 1 1 4 · 1 1 5 is lifted, the transfer roller is retracted into the interior of the scaffolding 114·115. When the scaffolding 114·115 is formed at the same height position as the target shed frame 3, the conveying roller protrudes from the side of the scaffolding 1 1 3 and abuts the conveyed roller, whereby the roller 1 1 3 a of the scaffolding 1 1 3 can be driven. Further, in the present embodiment, although the container 2 on the scaffolding 114·113·115 is positioned by the unillustrated stopper, it may be in the scaffolding ·4·-41 - (39) 1287528 1 1 The end of the 3 · 1 1 5 is provided with a sensor, and the sensor detecting container 2 stops the rotation of the rollers 114a, 113a, 115a to perform positioning. Moreover, it is also possible to provide a sensor at a predetermined position of the scaffold 1 1 4 · 1 1 3 · 1 1 5, and the sensor detecting container 2 decelerates the rotation of the rollers 1 14a · 1 13a · 1 15a, and sufficiently decelerates The container 2 is then stopped by the stopper. [Effect of the Invention] The transport system of the container for transporting the storage plate-like object of the present invention includes a transporter for transporting the container, and a transfer device for transferring the plate between the processing device for processing the plate-like material and the container. And the container storage means of the container after the plate material is supplied to the processing apparatus. Therefore, when the plate material is stored in the container and transported on the conveyor, only the plate-like object can be transferred to the processing apparatus. Therefore, even if the plate is protected by the container, the problem of supply to the processing apparatus does not occur. In particular, the large plate which is easily deflected or damaged is also suitable for the container to be easily transported. Further, the empty container after the plate is supplied to the processing device can be stored in advance by each processing device. Therefore, immediately after the processing of the processing apparatus is completed, the plate can be stored in the container and transported again along the transport path. Further, the container storage means stores the container directly above the conveyor in order to pass the container on the conveyor. The container storage means does not obstruct the transport path of the container, and does not cause a decrease in the transport efficiency. In addition, by setting the storage position of the container directly above the transport path, it is possible to suppress an increase in the installation area, and it is also possible to use only the liter 42-128728 (40) drop means as a transfer means for the container, and to store the other parts. The position comparison makes it possible to simplify the configuration of the transfer device for storage. Therefore, the overall configuration of the transport system can be simplified at the same time. In addition, in order to allow the above-described container to pass through the container, the plate-shaped object storage means for storing the plate-like object directly above the conveyor is provided. Therefore, the plate for processing can be temporarily stored without shielding the conveyance path of the container. Within each processing device. Further, while a through hole is provided in a portion of the bottom surface of the container, a space through which the plate can pass is formed above the vertically disposed guide, and the transfer device is disposed under the conveyor, and the plate is Between the transfer position passing through the space and the standby position lower than the bottom surface of the container on the conveyor, there is provided a transfer roller that expands and contracts from the through hole toward the vertical direction, and the plate is transported between the conveyor and the processing device. Since the transfer conveyor is not required to be removed from the container by using a transfer means having a complicated mechanism such as a robot, the plate can be stored in the container and temporarily placed on the way of the transport path. The storage device and the temporary storage device include: a storage unit having a plurality of scaffolds on the upper and lower sides; a storage means for elevating and lowering the container from the conveyor to the storage unit along the storage unit; and lifting and lowering the container along the storage unit The storage means for transporting from the storage unit to the transporter, and the storage means, the storage unit, and the delivery means are arranged on the transport path, so that a narrow temporary period can be formed. Setting the width of the storage means to suppress the installation area. Further, since the transfer device is disposed on the upstream side and the downstream side of the container storage means - 43 - 1287528 (41), the conveyance of the plate member to the processing device and the transfer path from the processing device can be simultaneously performed. The plate is shipped out and has a high carrying capacity. Further, the container can be easily transported by the transporter from the transfer device on the upstream side to the container storage means on the downstream side or the container storage means on the upstream side or the transfer device on the downstream side. And 'the one of the scaffolds is placed at the same height position as the transport surface of the transporter, and the scaffolding, the storage means and the storage means are used as the transporter, and if the container is not required to be stored in the temporary storage device, The storage means and the delivery means are moved to the same height position as one of the storage part scaffolding and the transportation path, so that the container is merely transported by the temporary storage device. The above-mentioned conveyor is placed on the floor to protrude the space under the floor. Or the scaffolding is disposed in at least one of the spaces on the ceiling. Therefore, it is not necessary to increase the installation area of the temporary storage device, and the storage amount of the container can be increased.
