BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Figs. 1 through 8 are views of an apparatus for loading and taking out containers. As illustrated in Figs. 1 through 3, a warehouse 8 is a steel structure in the H-beam shape and warehouses 8 on either side are facing each other. Inside the warehouse 8 are provided a plurality of container chambers 16 in multiple rows and multiple layers with the appropriate number of stories and length depending on standard and size of a container 4 and loading quantity. In addition, a parallel rail 10 is provided on the top of warehouses 8 on either side, and a ceiling rail RA3 is provided on the ceiling of each container chambers. On the other hand, a hoist 20 comprising an upper hoisting plate 22, a lower hoisting place 32, a circling member 46, a rotating member 48, a rail linking member 52, and a running clipper 60 is provided such that it can move on the parallel rail 10 of the warehouse 8. The upper hoisting plate 22, as shown in Figs 4 and 5, is provided on the parallel rail 10 of the warehouse 8 such that it can move back and forth. Further, a hoisting winch 28 where a hoisting cable 30 is wound is provided on the top thereof while a parallel moving roller 26 to be driven by a driving motor M2 on the bottom thereof is provided on the parallel rail 10 of the warehouse 8. Furthermore, the hoisting winch 28 is a typical 4-axis gearing winch. A plurality of drums 29 on which a hoisting cable is wound are provided on both sides of the hoisting winch 28 respectively. The drums 29 are connected via the driving motor Ml and a gear such that the drums 29 on either side are rotated in opposite directions each other as the driving motor Ml is driven. One end of the hoisting cable 30 wound to the drum is wound to wheels (WH1, H2 ) along a guide roller guiding the hosting cable 30, thus resulting in being wound or unwound. As the drum 29 of the hoisting winch 28 is divided into two parts, one cable is connected to a wheel placed at the center in a column and the other cable is connected to a wheel H2 placed in a row. A lower hoisting plate 32 is provided at the bottom of the upper hoisting plate 22 such that it is connected by means of the hoisting cable 30 and can be elevated. As illustrated in Fig. 6, hinged wheels WH3 , WH4 , H5 are provided on the lower hoisting plate 32, which is connected by means of a cable at a position corresponding to wheels H1 , H2 of the upper hoisting plate 22. Wheels made up of the free wheel WH3 and the dual wheel WH4 tightly fixed on the hinged rotating shaft in order to stand against an eccentric load due to the weight of the freight are provided on the lower hosting plate 32 in a row via cables (not illustrated) . The contact surface between the cable and the dual wheel WH4 is made enlarged in order to increase frictional power to prevent the cable from sliding. The wheel WH4 connected to a gear box Gl in combination of bevel gears is used to prevent the upper hoisting plate 22 from joggling when it moves back and forth. The wheel WH5 connected to a gear box G2 in combination of bevel gears is used in order to prevent the upper hoisting plate 22 from joggling horizontally from side to side so that the wheel WH5 is placed at the direction 90 degrees corresponding to the wheel WH . Moreover, in order to drive a gear G for teeth- engaging the wheels WH3 , WH4 , WH5 installed in a row and column on the lower hoisting plate 32 with a circling member 46 installed under the lower hoisting plate 32 at a position deviating from the bevel gear boxes Gl, G2 , a worm gear 38 and a driving motor are installed asymmetrically. It is desirable that the driving motor is a stepping motor. In addition, even though not illustrated, a control line and power for operating a rotating member 48 connected to the circling member 46 installed under the lower hoisting plate 32, the rail linking member 52, the running clipper 60 and the vertical moving roller 27 and the like are enabled to supply power and transmit signals to a slip ring, a rotary joint or the like installed at the center of rotation of the circling member 46 while in rotation. Here, a rotary means consisting of the worm gear 38 mounted on the lower hoisting plate 32 and the circling member 46 is provided to rotate the circling member 46 installed under the lower hoisting plate 32. In addition to the worm gear 38, other rotary means such as bevel gears or the like can also be used. On the other hand, the vertical moving roller 27 is installed on both ends of the lower hoisting plate 32 and the rotating member 48 such that it moves back and forth between the lower hoisting plate 32 and the rotating member 48 on both sides of the warehouse 8 constituting vertical passages 12 by a predetermined control means. The vertical moving roller 27 is engaged with the vertical rail 11 in a specified polygonal shape, as illustrated in Fig. 6, thus to stably guide upon elevation and to prevent joggling as well , and to prevent derailment from the rail due to external causes . Also, the rotating member 48 is provided under the circling member 46 such that it is linked to rotate. The top surface thereof is closed with a plate so as to be fixed to the lower part of the circling member 46 while the bottom surface thereof is open. A rail RA1 is formed on both ends of inner sides . Further, as illustrated in Fig. 8, the fixing plate 49 having a concave to be engaged with a fixing projection 39 projecting from the bottom of the lower hoisting plate 32 is formed on the rotating member 48. The fixing plate 49 is a means to move back and forth by a control means such as a hydraulic cylinder 49a or the like connected to the rear part thereof and to tightly engage with the fixing projection 39 on the bottom surface of the lower hoisting plate 32. Thus, the rotating member 48 faces to the container chamber 16 or sets an exact direction for loading and unloading trailers. It is desirable that the fixing plate 49 is set up in rows and in columns at least at four places on the rotating member 48. The rail linking member 52 is provided under the rotating member 48. A guide 55 is formed on the rail linking member 52, which controls its exact position when it is connected to a rail RA3 inside the container chamber 16. A roller R02 is provided such that it can move on the rail RA1 of the rotating member 48 on either side of the rail linking member 52. The roller R02 on either side is connected to a shaft for operation. A rack gear 53a is formed on the upper surface inside the rail RA1. A pinion 53 on the rail linking member 52 and a driving motor M4 to drive the pinion are integrally formed by means of a bracket. A pinion 53 to be teeth-engaged with the rack 53a mounted on the upper surface inside the rail RA1 of the rotating member 48 is driven whereby the rail linking member 52 and the ceiling rails RA3 of the container chamber are tightly combined. On the other hand, the running clipper 60 is provided such that it can move on the ceiling rail RA2 of the rail linking member 52 thereunder. The rollers R03 is mounted on either side of the running clipper 60 such that it can move to the container chamber 16 on the rail RA2 of the rail linking member 52, which is hinged so as to rotate. The roller R03 is driven as the driving motor M5 formed integrally with the running clipper 60 by means of the bracket hinged to inside the rail RA2 is driven so that the running clipper 60 enters into the container chamber 16 along the rail RA3 of the container chamber . In addition, a holding means 66 is mounted inside the edge of the running clipper 60 in order to hold the container 4. Any of the holding means to hold the container may be applied. The prevent invention will be described by way of an example as shown in Figs 9 and 10. A hooking hole 6 passing through the top edge of the container 4 is formed on the holding means 66 . A piston 88 moving up and down is provided inside the edge of the running clipper 60 corresponding to the hooking hole 6 of the container 4 while a hydraulic cylinder 90 is provided inside the other edge of the running clipper 60 such that it is rotatably hinged. A shell of the revolution
84 is provided on the front end of the piston 88 of the hydraulic cylinder 90 such that it is rotatably hinged by means of the bracket 86 formed integrally on the periphery surface thereof . Furthermore, the revolution 84 consists of shells which are empty inside. The inner revolution 84 is in a polygonal shape on one side thereof. Here, a rectangular shape is employed for an example inside the revolution 84. On the other hand, a worm wheel 78 is rotatably provided on the lower end separating from the revolution 84, whereby screw pitch is formed on the inner periphery passing through the central part thereof. A worm 80 is provided on a side of the periphery surface of the worm wheel 78 and a driving motor 82 is provided to drive the worm 80 on one side thereof. In addition, a hook member 68 is provided on the center of the thus-formed worm wheel 78 and the revolution 84 such that it is inserted while passing through thereon for enabling an elevation. A rectangular hook 70 is formed on the hook member 68, which is inserted into the hooking hole 6 of the container 4 to be hooked on the front end of the hook member 68. A stepped concave 72 is formed along the periphery surface on the back end of the stepped concave 72, while a screw 74 to be engaged with the screw pitch formed on the inner periphery surface of the worm wheel 78 passing through the center of the worm wheel 78 is formed. A connecting part 76 is formed on the back end of the screw 74 in a shape corresponding to the inner surface of the revolution 84 and inserted into the revolution 84. On the other hand, driving motors Ml, M2 , M3 , M4 , M5 and the hydraulic cylinder provided for loading and taking out the container 4 are controlled by the control part, even though operation thereof is not illustrated. It is desirable that the driving motors are provided with motors that can be rotating clockwise and counter clockwise. Further, as not shown in the drawings, a control room comprises a control device for loading and taking out the container 4. It is desirable that the manipulator is enabled to easily recognize the present status displayed on the screen through the monitor or the like. As shown above, the operation of an apparatus for loading and taking out the containers will be described as follows . As illustrated in the drawings, if a car 2 carrying the container 4 enters into the vertical passage 12 of the warehouse 8 and stops at a designated position, then the hoist 20 mounted on the parallel rail 10 of the top of the warehouse 8 moves to a position corresponding to the car 2 by the operation of the manipulator who controls the apparatus for loading and taking out the container 4. At this time, the hoist 20 moved as described above moves to a prescribed position of the container chamber 16 while the parallel moving roller 26 is rotating on the parallel rail 10 by the driving motor Ml mounted on the upper hoisting plate 22. Then, the vertical moving rollers 27, 47 installed at one side each of the lower hoisting plate 32 and of the rotating member 48 is tightly attached to the vertical moving rail 11 installed at the right and left of the entrance to the container chamber, thereby achieving a stable state. The upper hoisting plate 22 is releasing a hoist cable 30 from the drum 29 as the hoisting winch 28 provided thereon is working. Accordingly, this causes the hoist cable 30 wound around wheels WH3 , WH4 , WH5 of the lower hoisting plate 32 under the upper hoisting plate 22 to be released and at the same time causes the lower hoisting plate 32 (?) to be descended along with the circling member 46, the rotating member 48, the rail linking member 52 and the running clipper 60. In the mean time, the lower hoisting plate 32 drives the worm gear 38 as the driving motor M3 provided thereon is operating, which is descended closely to the upper part of the stopped car 2 at a position designated as above. The circling member 46 is rotated by the worm gear 38, which causes the rotating member 48, the rail linking member 52 and the running clipper 60 to be rotated by 90 degrees and positioned parallel to the stopped car 2. Since then, when the hoist is descended to the upper surface of the container 4 loaded at the car 2 by the signal of the control machine (not illustrated) such as the adjacent sensor of the running clipper 60, the operation of the hoisting winch 28 is at a stop so that the lower hoisting plate 32, the circling member 46, the rotating member 48, the rail linking member 52 and the running clipper 60 stop descending . When a holding means 66 on the edge of the thus-stopped running clipper 60 begins to operate to cause the driving motor 82 thereof to operate, the worm 80 is driven while rotating in one direction. The worm wheel 78 connected with the worm 80 is rotated around counter clockwise based on Figs . 9 and 10 by the driving force of the worm 80 and passing through the center thereof, causing the screw-connected hook member 68 to be descended. Then, the hook member 68 is descending free from rotation by the rectangular connecting part 76 formed on one side thereof. When a side of the stepped concave 72 of the thus -descending hook member 68 comes in contact with a side of the hooking hole 6 of the container 4, then the driving motor 82 stops operating and at the same time the hook member 68 stops descending. The hook 70 at the front end of the thus-stopped hook member 68 is completely inserted into the hooking hole 6 of the container 4, and the hydraulic cylinder 90 is activated to take out the piston 88. Therefore, the revolution 84 rotatably hinged at the front end of the piston 88by means of the bracket starts to rotate. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 90 is rotated at a predetermined amount to the axis of the hinged part of one end thereof . On the other hand, the thus-rotated revolution 84 is rotated 90 degrees and the connecting part 76 of the hook member 68 inserted into and coupled with the inner revolution
84 is rotated 90 degrees counter- clock wise together with the revolution body 84, thus being positioned to be hooked in contacted with the inside of the hooking hole 6 of the container 4, as illustrated in Fig. 9 in double dotted lines . Then, the container 4 is hoisted by the hook 70, which causes the driving motor 82 to drive while rotating counter clockwise, and the worm 80 and the worm wheel 78 to rotate in the direction reverse to the direction described above. At this time, the hook member 68 is elevated by means of the screw 74 at one side thereof by clockwise rotation of the worm wheel 78, which causes the hook 70 of the hook member 68 to elevate as it is hooked inside the hooking hole
6 of the container 4, thus closely attaching the top surface of the container 4 to the lower surface of the running clipper
60. Since then, the hoist 20 elevated as holding the container 4 therewith lifts the lower hoisting plate 32, the circling member 46, the rotating member 48, the rail linking member 52 and the running clipper 60 as the hoisting winch 28 of the upper hoisting plate 22 is working to the direction reverse to the direction described above. In the meantime, after the hoist 20 that is elevated along with the container 2 lifts the container 4 from the car 2, if the hoist 20 is positioned at the container chamber 16 of the warehouse 8 where the container 4 is stored, then elevation of the hoist 20 is stopped and at the same time the hoist 20 is rotated such that the container 4 is easily stored at the chamber 16 of the warehouse 8. The driving motor M3 mounted on the upper face of the lower hoisting plate 32 is driven by reverse rotation to rotate the worm gear 38 counter clock-wise, whereby the circling member 46 is rotated counter- clock wise and cause the rotating member 48, the rail linking member 52 and the running clipper 60 to rotate in parallel to the container chamber 16 of the warehouse 8. Once the rotating member 48, the rail linking member 52 and the running clipper 60 are located at the right position in parallel, a control means such as the hydraulic cylinder 49a begins to operate and the fixing plate 49 of the rotating member 48 is coupled with the fixing projection 39, thus maintaining their position at a right position in parallel. Then, when the rail linking member 52 is positioned in parallel with the ceiling rail RA3 of the container chamber 16, the driving motor M4 where the pinion 53 is connected operates and then moves forward along a rake gear 53b so that the rail linking member 52 is fitted to the end of the ceiling rail RA3 inside the container chamber 16. At this time, the rail linking member 52 is connected to the ceiling rail RA3 inside the container chamber 16 by means of the guide 55 at both front end sides of the rail linking member 52. That is, in order to prevent the position of the container due to an eccentric load or the like, it is necessary to force an operation to connect for contacting both rails by uniform power by the rake gear 53b and the pinion 53 and the guide 55. Meanwhile, the rail RA2 of the rail linking member 52 is closely connected with the ceiling rail RA3 of the container chamber 16 as shown above, the driving motor M5 of the running clipper 60 starts to operate, whereby causes the roller R03 of the running clipper 60 to drive on the rail RA2 of the rail linking member 52. Therefore, the running clipper 60 is moved to the ceiling rail RA3 of the container chamber 16. Then, the running clipper 60 moved as described above functions to load the container 4 mounted on the running clipper 60 into the container chamber 16 as the roller R03 thereon moves to the ceiling rail RA3 of the container chamber 1 6 . Since then, the holding means 66 of the running clipper 60 operates again at a position it stopped according to signals from a controller such as a sensor (not shown) or the like. This leads the container 4 to be seated safely on the bottom surface of the container chamber 16 due to a reverse operation of the holding means 66. The fixture 16a corresponding to a hooking concave 4a formed on the bottom surface of the container chamber 16 is formed. When the container 4 is safely seated to the container chamber 16, protective supporting by the hooking concave 4a of the container 4 and the fixture 16a on the bottom surface of the container chamber 16 helps the container 4 maintain at an exact position in the bad weather such as a tycoon. After the container 4 is completely loaded at the container chamber 16, the driving motor of the running clipper 60 is driving due to counter- clock wise rotation to rotate the roller R03 counter- clock wise, which causes the running clipper 60 to take out from the container chamber 16. After the running clipper completely moves to the center along the rail RA2 of the rail linking member 52, its operation stops. When taking out the container 4 loaded at the container chamber 16 of the warehouse 16, the hoist 20 operates in the procedure reverse to the foregoing, thus taking out the container 4 rom the container chamber 16. Meanwhile, the lower hoisting plate 32 is more securely held by the gear box Gl of the bevel gear combination and the hoisting cable 30 combined with the dual wheel WH 4 of the lower hoisting plate 32 , which can lead a stable operation even when the upper hoisting plate 22 moves its location relative to an eccentric load (slip phenomenon) due to the weight of the container 4. In addition, the center of the vertical moving roller 27 formed on the lower hoisting plate 32 and the rotating member 48 is shaped in polygonal concave, while the corresponding vertical rail 11 is shaped in a projection in order for the concave of the vertical moving roller 27 to be inserted as shown in the enlarged configuration view of Fig. 4. Therefore, the lower hoisting plate 32 and the rotating member 48 can move vertically more safely without worrying about derailment on the vertical rail 11 of the warehouse 8. As described above, in accordance with an apparatus for loading and taking out containers of the present invention, a movable hoist on the warehouse in multiple rows and multiple layers is equipped with a running clipper that can move up and down and can rotatably run so that a plurality of containers can be loaded respectively and kept in the container chamber of the warehouse, and containers can be easily and quickly loaded and taken out. In addition, the hoisting cable connecting the upper hoisting plate and the lower hoisting plate is connected and supported by the double rolled structure by a drum and wheels, thus protecting and supporting heavy containers more securely to prevent slanting of the hoist due to an eccentric load. In addition, a combination of a rail linking member and rake and a pinion gear is, the rail linking member fixed in a sliding- enabled manner relative to the rotating member, which are engaged to be slowly pushed into. A rail on the warehouse and a guide positioning an exacting location help perform insertion safely without sliding to the exact location . Further, a fixture at the bottom of the container chamber corresponding to the hooking concave at the bottom of the container is formed, whereby the container is more securely supported by coupling of the hooking concave in the container and the fixture in the container chamber.
Therefore, the container can be loaded stably without swinging even under the influence of a tycoon or the like. Furthermore, a fixing pin is formed on the lower hoisting plate and a fixing plate controlled by the control means of the rotating member corresponding to the fixing pin. This helps set the location more surely by calibrating its location correctly in case the rotating member rotates at an angle of 90 degrees. Moreover, in the hoist, the center of the vertical moving roller formed on the lower hoisting plate and the rotating member is shaped in polygonal concave, and the corresponding vertical rail is shaped in a projection, which is helpful that the hoist can move the vertical rail of the warehouse more safely.
