Each packing conveyor section 11 includes a distribution conveyor line 12 provided in the center in an octagonal ring shape,
Similarly, it is connected to a delivery conveyor line 13 provided in the center in an octagonal ring shape. The delivery conveyor line 13 is disposed above the distribution conveyor line 12.

One packing conveyor section 11 is composed of a number of lines 115 drawn from the distribution conveyor line 12 and one line 117 drawn from the delivery conveyor line 13. An elevator 119 is mounted in the middle of the line 117, and performs an operation of lifting a load to the level of the conveyor belt 13 for taking out goods.

On the other side of the sorting workshop 1-1, two elevators 17, 17 for unloading cargo from the second floor are provided.
And two elevators 19, 19 to get off the third floor
And two elevators 21 and 21 to get off the 4th floor
Are provided.

Each of the elevators 17, 19, 21
Each is connected to the distribution conveyor line 12 by a conveyor 23.

The delivery conveyor line 13 is connected to a delivery conveyor 55 of the delivery facility 5.

On the other hand, on the outer circumference of the sorting work station 1-1, an octagon-shaped transfer carriage traveling line 24 for entry is provided. The pallet is transported by a transport trolley (not shown) on the storage transport trolley travel line 24. The storage carrier traveling line 24 is connected to the sorting work station 1-1.
Located on the mezzanine floor. The storage carrier traveling line 24 passes over the delivery conveyor 55.

The carriage on the carrying carriage traveling line 24 for receiving the goods receives the load from the conveyor 39, stops in front of any of the three-dimensional warehouses 7-1 to 7-6, and moves the stacker crane to the three-dimensional warehouse. An operation of delivering the load via a conveyor (not shown) provided therein.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view of a main part showing the second floor of the sorting work area 1. As shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the sorting workplace 1-2 on the second floor has two opposing sides of eight sides of an octagon.
Sorting conveyor units 25, 25 are provided at the side positions, and sorting conveyor units 27 are provided at the other six positions. It should be noted that only three specific configurations of the store-specific sorting conveyor section 27 are shown, and other configurations are the same, and are omitted by dotted lines.

Also in the sorting workplace 1-2, a distribution conveyor line 29 provided in the center of an octagonal ring and a delivery conveyor line 31 provided similarly in the center of an octagonal ring are provided. It is connected. The delivery conveyor line 31 is disposed above the distribution conveyor line 29.

The prefectural sorting conveyor section 25 is composed of a number of lines 251 drawn from the distribution conveyor line 29 and a delivery conveyor 253 installed in front of the line 251.

This floor has two warehouses 7-1 and 7
-4 is a floor that sorts and retrieves the cargo stored in
Therefore, the cargo stored in the two-dimensional warehouses 7-1 and 7-4 is always taken out to the delivery conveyor 253 on this floor.

Next, the shop-specific sorting line 27 includes a number of lines 271 drawn from the distribution conveyor line 29.
And one line 273 drawn from the delivery conveyor line 31. Line 273
An elevator 275 is attached in the middle of the operation, and performs an operation of lifting a load to the level of the conveyer line 31 for retrieval.

On one side of the sorting workshop 1-2, the two elevators 17, 1 for lowering the load from the second floor to the first floor are provided.
The elevators 17 are connected to the delivery conveyor line 31 by conveyors 33, respectively.

FIGS. 4 and 5 are enlarged plan views of the main parts showing the third and fourth floors of the sorting work area 1. FIG. As shown in both figures, the sorting workshops 1-3 and 4 on the third and fourth floors are also located in two opposing sides of the eight sides of the octagon by prefecture, similarly to the sorting workshop 1-2 on the second floor. Sorting conveyor sections 25, 25 are provided, and the shop-specific sorting conveyor sections 2 are located at the other six positions.
7 are provided. In both figures, the same reference numerals are given to the same portions as those of the second floor sorting work place 1-2, and the description thereof is omitted.

However, the location of the sorting conveyors 25, 25 by prefecture in the sorting work shop 1-3 on the third floor is in front of the two opposing three-dimensional warehouses 7-2, 7-5, and the sorting work shop 1 on the fourth floor. -4, the location of the pre-sorting conveyors 25, 25
It is before two opposing three-dimensional warehouses 7-3 and 7-6.

That is, the third floor sorting workshop 1-3 is a floor for sorting and unloading the cargo stored in the two-dimensional warehouses 7-2 and 7-5, and the fourth floor sorting workshop 1-4 is 2
It is a floor for sorting and unloading the cargo stored in the three-dimensional warehouses 7-3 and 7-6.

Next, the operation of this facility will be described. First, Figure 1
In (2), a load (book) is unloaded by a forklift or the like from a truck laid sideways on the truck yards 31 and 33, and the load is placed on a pallet and stored in a storage conveyor 35.
put on top.

[0031] The pallets on which the loads are placed are stored on the receiving conveyor 3
5 is conveyed on one of the elevators 37 and
The floor is lifted to the mezzanine level, and the conveyor 39
Is transported to the position of the entry transport trolley travel line 24 in the sorting workplace 1-1, and is transferred to a not-shown transport trolley moving on the entry transport trolley travel line 24.

The pallets delivered to the transport trolley are transported to desired three-dimensional warehouses 7-1 to 7-6, and delivered to stacker cranes in the three-dimensional warehouses 7-1 to 7-6. , The three-dimensional warehouse 7-1 by the stacker crane
7-6 is stored on a predetermined shelf.

Next, for example, when taking out the load stored in the three-dimensional warehouse 7-2, as shown in FIG.
The pallets stored in the predetermined shelves are taken out by the stacker crane, and the delivery conveyor 2 of the pre-sorting conveyor 25 by prefecture.
53, the load on the pallet thus taken out is sorted by prefecture, the loads sorted by prefecture are respectively replaced with buckets, and the replaced buckets are placed on the line 251.

The bucket placed on the line 251
It is sent to the predetermined store-specific sorting conveyor section 27 by the distribution conveyor line 29, and in any one of the lines 271, the load in the bucket sorted by prefecture is further sorted by store, and each bucket is replaced with another bucket. The replaced bucket is placed on the line 273.

The load placed on the line 273 is lifted by the elevator 275, placed on the conveyor belt 31 for taking out the goods, sent to one of the elevators 19 by the conveyor 33, and lowered to the sorting work station 1-1 on the first floor. It is.

As shown in FIG. 2, the buckets which have been dropped to the sorting work station 1-1 on the first floor pass through one of the lines 115 of the predetermined packing conveyor line 11 via the conveyor 23 and the distribution conveyor line 12. Is transported to the line 115, and is loaded on the line 117 after being packed in a shipping form.

The loaded goods placed on the line 117 are lifted by the elevator 119 and then conveyed to the delivery conveyor line 13, where they are moved by the delivery conveyor 55 to the track yards 51 and 52 of the delivery facility 5 shown in FIG.
It is transported to 53 and loaded on a truck.

In the present invention, the number of places for sorting loads increases as the number of floors increases, and the length of the conveyor increases when the total number of floors is increased. Can be increased.

[0039]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, a sorting work place for unloading goods is provided on a multi-story floor, and a three-dimensional warehouse and a receiving facility are radially provided around the sorting work place provided on the multi-story floor. Since it is connected to the outgoing equipment, there is an excellent effect that the installation area can be efficiently reduced.
