Description

  The present invention relates to a storage in a building that can store articles in a storage space such as an attic or under the floor.

  Since the storage space in a living room is limited, a storage in a building that stores articles using spaces such as the attic and under the floor is useful. For example, in Patent Document 1, in order to store the storage items on the floorboard, the container which is the storage item is lowered through the entrance and exit and is transferred to the transfer device of the cart device, and the cart device is run in the passage portion, An in-building storage is described in which a container is transferred to an empty cradle by operating a transfer device so as to face an empty cradle for the purpose.

  The storage in a building described in Patent Document 1 is a fork type in which a delivery device for a carriage device can be withdrawn and moved up and down, and is provided on an upper portion of the carriage device. Therefore, a pair of cradles in which a fork insertion space is formed so that a fork can be inserted are provided below the container. This self-propelled fork-type cart device moves between a place where the container is stored and a loading / unloading port by traveling back and forth in the connecting passage section and passing through the passage section to the left and right.

JP 7-48924 A

However, since the container in the building described in Patent Document 1 uses a fork-type delivery device to place and take out the container, a cradle for placing the container is indispensable in order to secure a fork insertion space. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare as many cradles as the number of containers, which increases costs.
Moreover, since it is necessary to insert the fork of a self-propelled cart device into the bottom of the container, the container cannot be arranged in multiple stages although it is a storage space with a limited height. Therefore, it is impossible to store many containers in the storage space.
In addition, since the self-propelled cart device has a structure in which a fork is inserted into the bottom of the container and lifts it up, for example, if the weight of the container is heavy, the cart device itself will not lift unless it is heavy. . Therefore, in order to move the container stably, it is necessary to increase the size of the cart device to increase its weight, or to load an extra heavy object without changing the size. When the size of the carriage device is increased, it is necessary to secure a large width for the communication passage portion and the passage portion, so that many containers cannot be accommodated in the storage space.
Further, since the angle formed between the communication passage portion and the passage portion where the cart device travels is a right angle, for example, when the cart device goes to pick up the container, the cart device first travels through the communication passage portion. Later, it is necessary to bend at a right angle without changing the direction, enter the passage, and travel to the target container. However, in order for the bogie device to bend at a right angle, all the wheels including the drive wheels for running the bogie device need to bend by 90 °, so the feasibility is poor and even if it can be realized, the structure becomes complicated. For this reason, the cost of the cart apparatus increases.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a storage in a building that can effectively use a limited space and can be made low in cost.

  The storage in a building according to the present invention includes a guide rail that is slidable in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rail body above a storage space in which stored items are stored, and a transport device that moves the guide rail. The conveyance device is provided with a gripping part for gripping the stored item and an elevating part for lifting and lowering the gripping part.

  The storage in a building of the present invention is provided with a gripping part for gripping the stored item and an elevating part for raising and lowering the gripping part in the transport device. After the gripping portion is lowered and the stored item is gripped by the gripping portion, the stored item is lifted in a state of gripping the stored item, whereby the stored item can be suspended. Then, the transport device moves the guide rail, and the guide rail slides in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rail body, so that the transport device can be positioned at a desired location as long as the guide rail slides. . Therefore, the transfer device in a state where the stored item is suspended can move the stored item from a position where the stored item is held and suspended to a position where the stored item is taken out. Moreover, when warehousing goods, it can be accommodated by carrying out in the reverse procedure at the time of warehousing. Therefore, even if there is no cradle like a conventional storage in a building, the stored item can be taken out and stored. In addition, the storage device can store the stored items in multiple stages within a range in which the height of the storage space is allowed by sequentially storing or extracting the stored items from above. In addition, it is not a structure that lifts the stored items with a fork like a conventional storage in a building, so it is necessary to increase the size of the transport device according to the weight of the stored items or to load extra heavy items. Absent.

The gripping portion includes at least two arm portions that extend and contract in a horizontal direction, and a claw portion that is provided at each distal end of the arm portion and engages with an end portion of the storage portion. Can do.
When the gripping part of the storage in a building of the present invention grips the stored item, the arm unit is lowered from the upper side in the gap between adjacent stored items by lowering the gripping part after the arm part is extended in the horizontal direction. If the nail | claw part provided in the front-end | tip is inserted and an arm part is contracted, a nail | claw part can be latched to the edge part of a storage part. Accordingly, the stored items can be arranged in a state in which a gap enough to allow the claw portion to enter is secured, so that a large number of stored items can be arranged in a limited space.

  When the storage device unloads the stored items, it moves on the transfer path by being guided by the guide rails above the transfer path that is separated from the storage location of the stored items. Can be made. In other words, since the stored items can be stored in and out without passing over the other stored items, it is necessary to secure the height of the storage space at least twice as high as the stored items. Absent. Therefore, the in-building storage of the present invention can be installed even in a storage space such as under the floor or attic where the height is limited. Moreover, since it is not the structure which lifts a stored item with a fork like the conventional storage in a building, it is not necessary to enlarge the magnitude | size of a conveying apparatus with the weight of a stored item. Therefore, it is only necessary to secure the width that allows the stored items to pass through the conveyance path.

  When the guide rail and the transfer device are provided in the attic and under the floor, respectively, and a lift device is provided for connecting the attic and under the floor and moving up and down the items conveyed by the transfer device, the attic and under the floor After the stored items stored in the container are transported by the transport device, the stored items can be moved between the attic and the floor by being lifted or lowered by the lift device. Accordingly, it is possible to easily transfer the stored items.

  In the in-building storage according to the present invention, since the transfer device descends from above the stored items and grips the stored items, even if there is no cradle as in the conventional in-building storage, the storage and release of the stored items can be performed. Is possible. Therefore, it is possible to effectively use the limited space and to reduce the cost. In addition, since the transport device can be positioned at a desired location as long as the guide rail slides, the transport device can be moved even if the travel path of the transport device is bent at an acute angle, an obtuse angle, a right angle, or an arc shape. Is possible.

The first cord reel 31 e supplies power to the drive motor of the guide rail 31 and is connected to a second cord reel 32 e provided in the transport device 32. The second cord reel 32e supplies power to the gripping unit lifting / lowering motor 32ba, the transport device travel motor 32dd, and the electromagnet 32cd of the transport device 32.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the lift device 4 has a stage 41 that moves up and down with the container C, a drive unit 42 that raises and lowers the stage 41, and guides the stage 41 while moving in the room RM. A hoistway 43 serving as a protective cover for preventing the container C from falling is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the stage 41 includes a table 41a for placing the container C, and a table support portion 41b for moving the table 41a up and down stably. The table 41a is a plate member formed in a rectangular shape. The table support portion 41b includes a vertical portion 41ba and a horizontal portion 41bb, and is formed in an L shape as a whole. The vertical portion 41ba is provided with wheels 41bc for raising and lowering along the slits 43b provided in the hoistway 43.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the drive unit 42 includes a chain 42a having one end connected to the table support unit 41b, a chain wheel 42b that functions as a fixed pulley that rotates and moves the stage 41 up and down via the chain 42a, A drive gear 42d connected by a chain wheel 42b and a shaft 42c, and a stage elevating motor 42e for rotating the drive gear 42d are provided. The chain 42a has such a length that the stage 41 can move up and down between the under floor Y and the attic X, and the other end side is fixed to the wall surface.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the hoistway 43 is a cylindrical body provided with openings connected to the entrance / exit Z <b> 1 of the underfloor Y and the entrance / exit Z <b> 2 of the attic X. In the lower part of the front surface of the hoistway 43, an opening 43a through which a resident can put in and out the container C is provided. A door may be provided in the opening 43a for safety. A slit 43b is provided on the back surface of the hoistway 43, and an elevating rail 43c formed in a U-shaped cross section along the slit 43b. By moving up and down in the lift rail 43c while the vertical portion 41ba of the stage 41 is guided, the stage 41 can be moved up and down stably without being displaced in the horizontal direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 10, the control device 5 includes a personal computer 51 and a controller 52 arranged in a living room RM, and is connected via a USB (Universal Serial Bus). When the position information of the container C is notified to the controller 52 by the management software operated by the personal computer 51, the movement is notified from the controller 52 to the driving motor of the guide rail 31 and the gripping unit lifting / lowering motor 32ba of the transport device 32, respectively. Thereby, the guide rail 31 and the conveying apparatus 32 move. Further, in response to the notification from the controller 52, the conveyance device travel motor 32dd is driven to move the grip 32c up and down, or the electromagnet 32cd is energized to grip the container C. The controller 52, the guide rail 31, the transport device, and the lift device may be connected by wire or may be wireless.

  The container C is a box that stores clothes that have been changed or items that are not used immediately. In order to make it difficult to come off when the claw portion 32cc of the grip portion 32c is locked, a belt-like convex portion Cx protruding along the longitudinal direction is formed on the head of the container C.

  The operation of the in-building storage 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, the case where the container C stored in the storage location S shown in FIG. The resident confirms and instructs the position of the container C to be delivered displayed on the screen of the personal computer 51. Based on the positional information notified from the personal computer 51, the controller 52 instructs the guide rail 31 and the transport device 32 to move. Since the container C is not gripped by the transport device 32, it is stored in the storage location S even if the transport device 32 moves along the moving guide rail 31 so as to cross the storage location S and the transport path L. Since the container C does not collide, the transfer device 32 can quickly move to the place where the container C instructed to leave is located.

  When the transport device 32 moves to a place where the container C instructed to be delivered moves, the arm portion 32cb2 of the gripping portion 32c moves in the horizontal direction in accordance with an instruction from the controller 52, so that the arm portion 32cb extends. . Then, the gripping unit lifting motor 32ba of the lifting unit 32b is driven by an instruction from the controller 52, the gripping unit 32c is lowered, and the arm body 32cb2 is moved inward, so that the claw portion 32cc is moved to the container C. Locks to the belt-like convex portion Cx. In this way, the container C can be gripped by contracting after the arm portion 32cb extends and descends, and therefore, the gap between the adjacent other containers C may be ensured to the extent that the claw portion 32cc can enter. Therefore, many containers C can be arranged in a limited space. Further, since the transport device 32 descends and grips from the upper side of the container C, the container C can be gripped and transported even if there is no cradle under the container C as in a conventional storage in a building. It is.

  When the gripping part 32c grips the container C, the elevating part 32b raises the gripping part 32c and lifts the container C. The container C can be moved if it is lifted even a few centimeters from the bottom surface of the floor Y. Therefore, since the conveyance device 32 is guided by the guide rail 31 and moves on the conveyance path L, the container C can be discharged without passing over the other containers C. It is not necessary to ensure a height that is at least twice that of container C. Therefore, it is possible to install the underfloor storage 3 even in the underfloor Y where the height is limited.

  When the container C is transported to the loading / unloading port Z1 and placed on the stage 41, the transport device 32 is moved from the range in which the stage 41 rises. When the transfer device 32 moves from the range in which the stage 41 moves up, the stage elevating motor 42e (see FIG. 7) is driven to pull the chain 42a with the chain wheel 42b, thereby raising the stage 41 and opening 43a (see FIG. 6). Lift the container C to the position. In this way, the resident can take out the container C from the opening 43a.

  Container C can be entered by operating in the reverse procedure of the exit procedure. In addition to entering and leaving the container C, it is also possible to move the container C from the under floor Y to the attic X and from the attic X to the under floor Y. When leaving, the occupant can take out the stage 41 of the lift device 4 by raising the container C to the position of the opening 43a. However, when moving from the under floor Y to the attic X, the stage 41 is left as it is. The container C can be stored in a predetermined storage location S of the attic X by raising the entrance / exit Z2 of the attic X and operating the attic storage 2 installed in the attic X.

  Further, when the container C is moved from the attic X to the under floor Y, the reverse procedure is possible. Thus, by providing the in-building storage 1 with the lift device 4 that connects the attic X and the underfloor Y, it is possible to move between the attic X and the underfloor Y. Therefore, since the container C was stored in the underfloor Y, it was stored in the attic X. However, in summer and winter when the temperature difference of the attic X is severe, it is necessary to replace it with the container C in the underfloor Y. The container C can be easily rearranged.

  Moreover, although the in-building storage 1 of the present embodiment is installed in a one-story building, it is possible to install the in-building storage 1 on each floor of a high-rise apartment or apartment. Moreover, when installing a storage in a building on each floor such as a high-rise apartment or apartment, a lift device may be connected so as to communicate with each floor. By doing so, the garbage is stored in the attic X or under the floor Y, and is transported to the lift device in the attic storage 2 or under-floor storage 3 on the day when the garbage is taken out, and then transported to the first floor with the lift device. It is possible to transport garbage to the first floor without having to do so.

  In the present embodiment, the container C is stored as the attic storage 2 and the underfloor storage 3 in a state where only one level is stored. However, since the transport device 32 descends from the container C and holds it, If the heights of the attic X and the underfloor Y are acceptable, the containers C may be arranged in multiple stages. Even if the containers C are installed in multiple stages, there is no need for a table or the like that opens a gap between the containers C, so that the limited space can be used more effectively. In addition, when containers C are stored in multiple stages, when the transport device 32 grips the container C and transports it to the loading / unloading ports Z1 and Z2, the upper part of the container C that has become one step lower is selected as the transport path. However, by transporting the container C, it is possible to transport the container C at a short distance to the loading / unloading ports Z1, Z2.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the containers C are arranged in a plurality of rows to form a conveyance path L that bends at a right angle. However, the container C is suspended as long as the guide rail 31 slides. Since the transport device 32 can move, even if the transport path is bent at an acute angle, an obtuse angle, or an arc shape, the transport device 32 moves in a state where the container C is suspended, and the container C is stored or shipped. Is possible. However, in order to store a large number of containers C under a rectangular floor or attic in a plan view, the transport path L is stored in a plurality of rows as shown in FIG. Is desirable.

  The storage in a building of the present invention is suitable as an attic storage or an underfloor storage that is installed in the attic or under the floor to effectively utilize a limited space.
