Description

本発明は、複数の物品を複数段で収納する物品収納設備に関する。 The present invention relates to an article storage facility that stores a plurality of articles in a plurality of stages.

従来、複数の物品を収納するための設備として、物品を多段に収納するようにした設備がある。例えば、複数列・複数段の収納部を形成する固定式ラックを設け、前面からフォークリフトなどの搬出入手段で各収納部に対して物品を収納又は搬出するようなものがある。しかし、この場合、複数列・複数段の全ての収納部の前面でフォークリフトなどの搬出入手段を移動させるための空地が必要となる。また、搬出入手段がフォークリフトの場合、高さを抑える必要もあり、物品の収納数が限られる。 BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, as equipment for storing a plurality of articles, there is equipment for storing articles in multiple stages. For example, there is one in which a fixed rack that forms a plurality of rows and a plurality of stages of storage units is provided, and articles are stored in or carried out of each storage unit from the front by a loading / unloading means such as a forklift. However, in this case, an open space for moving the carrying-in / out means such as a forklift is required in front of all the storage units of a plurality of rows and a plurality of stages. Further, when the loading / unloading means is a forklift, it is necessary to suppress the height, and the number of articles to be stored is limited.

一方、多くの物品を効率良く収納する設備として、スタッカークレーン式の物品収納設備がある。この先行技術として、例えば、２面のラックの間でスタッカークレーンを走行させ、スタッカークレーンで所望の位置まで搬送された物品を２面のいずれかのラックに収納するものがある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 On the other hand, as a facility for efficiently storing a large number of articles, there is a stacker crane type article storage facility. As this prior art, for example, there is one in which a stacker crane travels between two racks and the articles conveyed to a desired position by the stacker crane are stored in one of the two racks (for example, Patent Document 1). 1).

また、スタッカークレーン式の他の先行技術として、複数の収納部を縦横に備えた物品収納棚に沿って２台のスタッカークレーンを設け、一方のスタッカークレーンを目標位置まで走行させる場合に、その目標位置より手前に他方のスタッカークレーンが存在するときには、２台のスタッカークレーンの間で昇降台を付け替えて、一方のスタッカークレーンの搬送作業を他方のスタッカークレーンが引き続いて行うようにしたものもある（例えば、特許文献２参照）。 In addition, as another prior art of the stacker crane type, when two stacker cranes are provided along an article storage shelf having a plurality of storage units vertically and horizontally, and one stacker crane travels to a target position, the target When the other stacker crane exists before the position, there is also one in which the lifting platform is replaced between the two stacker cranes so that the transfer work of one stacker crane is continued by the other stacker crane ( See, for example, Patent Document 2).

［第１実施形態の物品収納設備］
図１，２に示すように、第１実施形態の物品収納設備１は、地上に最下段が位置しており、最下段の１段目１０から、２段目１１、３段目１２、４段目１３、最上段の５段目１４となっている。また、左端列の１列目２０から２列目２１、３列目２２、右端列の４列目２３となっている。よって、この物品収納設備１は、５段×４列であり、２０箇所の収納スペース４５を備えている。そして、この実施形態では、２箇所の収納スペース４５が、物品収納部３０がない空きスペース４０となっている。これにより、物品Ｇを収納する物品収納部３０は２つ少ない１８個となっている。図示する状態では、右端列である４列目２３の最下段である１段目１０の収納スペース４５と、２列目２１の最下段である１段目１０における収納スペース４５の２箇所が空きスペース４０となっている。他の各収納スペース４５には、物品収納部３０が配置されている。空きスペース４０は、少なくとも１箇所にあればよく、物品収納部３０を移動させることで移動する。 [Item storage facility of the first embodiment]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the article storage facility 1 according to the first embodiment has a lowermost tier on the ground, and the first tier 10 to the second tier 11, the third tier 12, and the fourth tier 4 of the lowest tier. The stage 13 and the uppermost fifth stage 14 are provided. In addition, the first column 20 to the second column 21, the third column 22, and the fourth column 23 of the right end column are located on the left end column. Therefore, this article storage facility 1 has 5 rows × 4 rows and has 20 storage spaces 45. Further, in this embodiment, the two storage spaces 45 are empty spaces 40 without the article storage unit 30. As a result, the number of the article storage units 30 for storing the articles G is two, which is two, that is, eighteen. In the illustrated state, there are two empty spaces, the storage space 45 in the first stage 10 which is the lowermost stage of the fourth column 23 which is the rightmost column and the storage space 45 in the first stage 10 which is the lowermost stage of the second column 21. It is a space 40. The article storage unit 30 is arranged in each of the other storage spaces 45. The empty space 40 only needs to be provided in at least one place, and is moved by moving the article storage unit 30.

物品Ｇを収納する物品収納部３０としては、上面がフラットに形成された板状の物品収納部３０、周辺部が少し盛り上がった板状の物品収納部３０、角材などで枠組みされた枠状の物品収納部３０などを用いることができる。 As the article storage unit 30 for storing the article G, a plate-shaped article storage unit 30 having a flat upper surface, a plate-shaped article storage unit 30 with a slightly raised peripheral portion, and a frame-shaped frame framed by square timbers and the like. The article storage unit 30 or the like can be used.

物品収納設備１は、前後位置で上下方向に延びる上下枠材２と、この上下枠材２を前後方向に連結する前後枠材３と、左右方向に連結する左右枠材４とを有する枠体５を備えている。枠体５は、枠材を組んだフレーム構造に限られるものではなく、鉄筋コンクリート造の構造体や、一部が枠体で他が固定された躯体などで形成されたものも含まれる。 The article storage facility 1 is a frame body having upper and lower frame members 2 extending in the vertical direction at the front and rear positions, front and rear frame members 3 connecting the upper and lower frame members 2 in the front and rear direction, and left and right frame members 4 connecting in the left and right direction. It is equipped with 5. The frame body 5 is not limited to a frame structure in which frame materials are assembled, and includes a structure made of reinforced concrete, a frame body partially formed with a frame body and the other body fixed, and the like.

図示する収納スペース４５の最下段である１段目１０と最上段である５段目１４では、各物品収納部３０が個別に矢印Ｗで示すように横行可能となっている。この横行は、後述する横行駆動部９０（図４）によって各物品収納部３０を各列２０〜２３の間で１列毎に横行させることが可能となっている。すなわち、１つ、または複数の物品収納部３０を一緒に、空スペース４０に向けて横行させることが可能となっている。また、収納スペース４５の各列（１列目２０〜４列目２３）では、後述する昇降駆動部８０（図３）によって、最下段である１段目１０と最上段である５段目１４との間で、その列の全ての物品収納部３０を一緒（同時）に矢印Ｈで示すように昇降させることが可能となっている。各物品収納部３０を昇降及び横行させる横行駆動部９０及び昇降駆動部８０は、制御装置７によって駆動制御される。 At the lowermost first stage 10 and the uppermost fifth stage 14 of the illustrated storage space 45, each article storage unit 30 can individually traverse as indicated by an arrow W. In this traverse, a traverse drive unit 90 (FIG. 4) described later can traverse each article storage unit 30 row by row between the rows 20 to 23. That is, one or a plurality of article storage units 30 can be traversed together toward the empty space 40. Further, in each row (first row 20 to fourth row 23) of the storage space 45, the lowermost first step 10 and the uppermost fifth step 14 are provided by the elevating drive unit 80 (FIG. 3) described later. It is possible to move up and down all the article storage sections 30 of the row together (simultaneously) as shown by the arrow H between and. The traverse drive unit 90 and the elevation drive unit 80 for elevating and traversing each article storage unit 30 are drive-controlled by the control device 7.

この実施形態の物品収納設備１は、最下段となる１段目１０における両端部の収納スペース４５が物品Ｇの搬出入部４６となっている。枠体５は、これらの搬出入部４６に側面（物品収納設備１の左右方向）からアクセスできるように、この実施形態では側面が開口したフレーム構造となっている。搬出入部４６は、フォークリフト１００などの搬出入手段によって物品Ｇを搬出入できるようになっている。例えば、搬出入部４６の側部に、搬出入部４６の下部と略同一レベルで搬出入手段（フォークリフト１００など）が走行できる床面が接続される。搬出入手段は、フォークリフト１００に限らず、公知の手段（クレーンなど）、その他、以下に説明する横行装置５１（図４の横行駆動部９０など）などを用いることができる。 In the article storage facility 1 of this embodiment, the storage spaces 45 at both ends of the first stage 10 which is the lowermost stage serve as a loading / unloading section 46 for the articles G. In this embodiment, the frame 5 has a frame structure with open side surfaces so that the carry-in / carry-out portions 46 can be accessed from the side surfaces (in the left-right direction of the article storage facility 1). The carry-in / carry-out unit 46 can carry in and carry out the article G by carrying-in / carrying-out means such as the forklift 100. For example, the side surface of the carry-in / carry-out unit 46 is connected to a floor surface on which the carry-in / carry-out means (such as the forklift 100) can travel at substantially the same level as the lower portion of the carry-in / carry-out unit 46. The loading / unloading means is not limited to the forklift 100, and known means (such as a crane) and other traversing devices 51 (such as the traverse driving section 90 in FIG. 4) described below can be used.

搬出入部４６の入口（図示する物品収納設備１の側面）には、可動柵４７がそれぞれ設けられている。この可動柵４７により、搬出入部４６と外部を適切に仕切り、第三者などが搬出入部４６へ入ることを制限している。なお、搬出入部４６の入口以外は、固定フェンスや外壁で覆ってもよい。これらの可動柵４７、固定フェンスや外壁は、必要に応じて設けるようにすればよい。 Movable fences 47 are provided at the entrances of the carry-in / carry-out section 46 (side surfaces of the illustrated article storage facility 1). The movable fence 47 appropriately partitions the loading / unloading section 46 and the outside, and restricts a third party or the like from entering the loading / unloading section 46. It should be noted that a portion other than the entrance of the carry-in / out section 46 may be covered with a fixed fence or an outer wall. The movable fence 47, the fixed fence, and the outer wall may be provided as needed.

また、上記搬出入部４６は、用途や設置場所周辺の制約などに応じて、例えば一側方の端部の１段目１０と他側方の端部の２段目１１や、同一側方の異なる段など、異なる複数段に設けることができる。搬出入部４６を複数箇所に備えさせれば、複数の搬出入部４６において、物品Ｇの並行した搬出入作業を行うことができる。図１に示す第１実施形態では、空きスペース４０を２箇所設けることで、物品収納設備１の左側２列（２０，２１）と右側２列（２２，２３）を別々に循環動作させることが可能であり、物品収納設備１の左右両端部に搬出入部４６を設けているので、２つの物品収納部３０を同時に移動させることができる。従って、空きスペース４０が１箇所の設備と比べて物品Ｇの呼出し時間を大幅に短縮することができるため、物品Ｇの搬出入作業をより効率よく行うことが可能となる。搬出入部４６は、例えば、所定段又は複数段に備えさせ、それらの搬出入部４６の内の任意段からフォークリフトやクレーンなどで物品Ｇを搬出入するようにできる。このようにしても、物品Ｇの搬出入作業を効率よく行うことができる。 The loading / unloading unit 46 may be, for example, the first stage 10 at one end and the second stage 11 at the other end, or the same side depending on the use and restrictions around the installation location. It can be provided in different stages, such as different stages. If the carry-in / carry-out sections 46 are provided at a plurality of locations, the carry-in / carry-out work of the articles G can be performed in parallel at the plurality of carry-in / carry-out sections 46. In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, by providing two empty spaces 40, the left two rows (20, 21) and the right two rows (22, 23) of the article storage facility 1 can be circulated separately. This is possible, and since the carry-in / carry-out portions 46 are provided at the left and right ends of the article storage facility 1, the two article storage sections 30 can be moved at the same time. Therefore, since the calling time of the article G can be significantly shortened as compared with the facility having one empty space 40, the article G can be carried in and out more efficiently. The carry-in / carry-out section 46 can be provided, for example, in a predetermined stage or a plurality of stages, and the article G can be carried in and out from an arbitrary stage of the carry-in / carry-out section 46 by a forklift or a crane. Even in this case, the work of carrying in and out the article G can be efficiently performed.

図３は、図１に示す物品収納設備の枠体に備えられた昇降駆動部を示す拡大図である。図示するように、上記枠体５に設けられた前後の上下枠材２の位置には、物品収納部３０を昇降させる昇降駆動部８０が設けられている。この昇降駆動部８０は、物品収納部３０の下面の前後端部に設けられた係止部材３１を係止フック８１で係止し、この係止フック８１を昇降チェーン８２（図４参照）で昇降させるようになっている。昇降チェーン８２は、各列２０〜２３（図１）の左右位置に設けられており、物品収納部３０は前後左右の４隅で係止部材３１が係止フック８１によって係止されて昇降させられる。 FIG. 3 is an enlarged view showing an elevating / lowering drive unit provided in the frame body of the article storage facility shown in FIG. 1.

And the lowermost stage support member 99 arranged so as to support. By providing the traverse driving unit 90 also on the frame body 5 side, wiring to the article storage unit 30 having a wide movement range is unnecessary, and a simple wiring structure is provided.

上記昇降駆動部８０は、上下枠材２の上部に設けられた駆動スプロケット８３と、上下枠材２の下部に設けられた従動スプロケット８４と、これらの間に掛けられた昇降チェーン８２とを有している。上記昇降チェーン８２には、所定間隔（各段１０〜１３に対応した間隔）で複数の係止フック８１が設けられており、この係止フック８１で各物品収納部３０に設けられた係止部材３１を係止して物品収納部３０を昇降させるようになっている。また、上下枠材２の上部を左右方向に連結する左右枠材４には、上記駆動スプロケット８３を回転させる昇降駆動機（モータ）８５が設けられている。この昇降駆動機８５は、左右枠材４に設けられたベース部材８６に取付けられ、昇降駆動機８５のスプロケット８８と駆動スプロケット８３とが駆動チェーン８７で連結されている。しかも、この昇降駆動部８０を枠体５側に設けることで、物品収納部３０への配線等を無くして物品収納部３０をシンプルな構成にしている。その上、段数が増えても昇降駆動機８５の数は同じでよく、コスト、メンテナンス性に優れた昇降駆動部８０を構成している。 The lifting drive unit 80 includes a drive sprocket 83 provided on the upper and lower frame members 2, a driven sprocket 84 provided on the lower part of the upper and lower frame members 2, and a lifting chain 82 hung between them. is doing. The lifting chain 82 is provided with a plurality of locking hooks 81 at predetermined intervals (intervals corresponding to each step 10 to 13), and the locking hooks 81 lock the article storage units 30. The member 31 is locked and the article storage unit 30 is moved up and down. Further, an elevating / lowering drive (motor) 85 for rotating the drive sprocket 83 is provided on the left and right frame members 4 that connect the upper portions of the upper and lower frame members 2 in the left-right direction. The lift drive machine 85 is attached to a base member 86 provided on the left and right frame members 4, and the sprocket 88 and the drive sprocket 83 of the lift drive machine 85 are connected by a drive chain 87. Moreover, by providing the elevating and lowering drive unit 80 on the frame body 5 side, wiring etc. to the article storage unit 30 is eliminated and the article storage unit 30 has a simple configuration. Moreover, even if the number of stages is increased, the number of elevator drives 85 may be the same, which constitutes the elevator drive unit 80 excellent in cost and maintainability.

この昇降駆動部８０により、昇降駆動機８５で駆動スプロケット８３を回転させることで、昇降チェーン８２が回転させられて各列２０〜２３の物品収納部３０が一緒に昇降させられる。つまり、各列における複数段の物品収納部３０は、回転させられる昇降チェーン８２の係止フック８１によって係止部材３１が係止されて一緒に昇降させられる。 By rotating the drive sprocket 83 with the lifting drive unit 85 by the lifting drive unit 80, the lifting chain 82 is rotated and the article storage units 30 in each of the rows 20 to 23 are lifted together. That is, the article storage units 30 in a plurality of stages in each row are moved up and down together with the locking members 31 being locked by the locking hooks 81 of the lifting chain 82 that is rotated.

また、この昇降駆動部８０で昇降させられる物品収納部３０は、１段目１０と５段目１４とは横行駆動部９０によって横行させられるため、後述するようにレール部材３２を支持ローラ９６に載せた後、係止フック８１が係止部材３１から外れるまで下降させられる。そのため、昇降チェーン８２は、５段目１４の物品収納部３０を最上段支持部材９１に載せ、１段目１０の物品収納部３０を最下段支持部材９９に載せた後、２段目１１乃至４段目１３の物品収納部３０を所定量下降させて停止させられる。これにより、１段目１０では物品収納部３０と２段目１１の物品収納部３０との間隔は少し狭くなり、４段目１３では物品収納部３０と５段目１４の物品収納部３０との間隔が少し広くなっている。 Further, since the article storage unit 30 that is moved up and down by the elevation drive unit 80 is traversed by the traverse drive unit 90 between the first stage 10 and the fifth stage 14, the rail member 32 is attached to the support roller 96 as described later. After mounting, the locking hook 81 is lowered until it comes off the locking member 31. Therefore, in the lifting chain 82, the article storage unit 30 of the fifth stage 14 is placed on the uppermost stage support member 91, and the article storage unit 30 of the first stage 10 is placed on the lowermost stage support member 99, and then the second stage 11 to. The article storage unit 30 of the fourth stage 13 is lowered by a predetermined amount and stopped. As a result, the space between the article storage unit 30 in the first stage 10 and the article storage unit 30 in the second stage 11 is slightly narrowed, and the article storage unit 30 in the fourth stage 13 and the article storage unit 30 in the fifth stage 14 are separated from each other. The intervals are slightly wider.

なお、この実施形態の昇降駆動部８０は、昇降チェーン８２に設けられた係止フック８１で物品収納部３０の係止部材３１を引っ掛けて、その列の物品収納部３０を一緒に昇降させているが、他の構成であっても、その列の物品収納部３０を一緒に昇降させることができる構成であれば用いることができる。 The lifting drive unit 80 of this embodiment hooks the locking member 31 of the article storage unit 30 with the locking hook 81 provided on the lifting chain 82 to raise and lower the article storage units 30 in the row together. However, other configurations may be used as long as the article storage units 30 in that row can be raised and lowered together.

また、図３では、図の奥行き方向に並んでいる物品収納部３０が見えるため、４段すべてに物品収納部３０を示しているが、図１に示すように、１段目１０は空きスペース４０であるので、図示する列には段数より少なくとも１つ少ない物品収納部３０が配置されている。すなわち、昇降の際は移動方向（下降の場合は下端）が空スペース４０とされる。横行の際も同様に移動方向が空スペース４０とされる。 Further, in FIG. 3, since the article storage units 30 arranged in the depth direction of the drawing are visible, the article storage units 30 are shown in all four stages, but as shown in FIG. 1, the first stage 10 has an empty space. 40, the article storage unit 30 that is at least one less than the number of stages is arranged in the illustrated row. That is, when moving up and down, the moving direction (the lower end when moving down) is the empty space 40. Similarly, in the case of traversing, the moving direction is the empty space 40.

図４は、上記枠体５の最上段における横行駆動部９０を示す斜視図である。最上段の５段目１４には、枠体５の前後位置に横行駆動部９０が設けられているが、前部を例に説明する。５段目１４の横行駆動部９０には、所定高さに物品収納部３０を支持する最上段支持部材９１が設けられている。この最上段支持部材９１には、左右方向に延びる溝部９５に所定間隔で複数の支持ローラ９６が設けられている。これらの支持ローラ９６は、前後方向に軸心を有する支持軸９６ｂ（図５）に支持されており、左右方向の回転が可能となっている。この支持ローラ９６により、各物品収納部３０の下面に設けられたレール部材３２が下方から支持される。複数の支持ローラ９６は、各支持ローラ９６に設けられたスプロケット９６ａ（図５）に掛けられたチェーンで同期して回転するようになっている。最上段支持部材９１には、物品収納部３０の横行時に前後方向にずれるのを防止して横行させる案内ローラ９８が設けられている。案内ローラ９８は、鉛直方向の軸心周りで回転自在となっている。この案内ローラ９８は、物品収納部３０が横行時に前後方向にずれない他の構成にしてもよい。 FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the transverse drive unit 90 at the uppermost stage of the frame body 5. A transverse drive unit 90 is provided at the front and rear positions of the frame body 5 in the fifth uppermost stage 14, and the front portion will be described as an example. The transverse drive unit 90 of the fifth stage 14 is provided with an uppermost stage support member 91 that supports the article storage unit 30 at a predetermined height. The uppermost stage support member 91 is provided with a plurality of support rollers 96 at predetermined intervals in a groove 95 extending in the left-right direction. These support rollers 96 are supported by a support shaft 96b (FIG. 5) having an axial center in the front-rear direction and can rotate in the left-right direction. The support roller 96 supports the rail member 32 provided on the lower surface of each article storage unit 30 from below. The plurality of support rollers 96 are adapted to rotate in synchronization with a chain that is hung on a sprocket 96a (FIG. 5) provided on each support roller 96. The uppermost support member 91 is provided with a guide roller 98 that prevents the article storage unit 30 from shifting in the front-rear direction when the article storage unit 30 is traversing and causes the article storage unit 30 to traverse. The guide roller 98 is rotatable around a vertical axis. The guide roller 98 may have another structure that does not shift in the front-rear direction when the article storage unit 30 traverses.

また、この実施形態では、複数の支持ローラ９６の内の１つの支持ローラ９６が、最上段支持部材９１に設けられた横行駆動機（モータ）９７によって回転駆動される。この横行駆動機９７によって１つの支持ローラ９６が回転駆動され、その支持ローラ９６の動力がスプロケット９６ａを介してチェーンで各支持ローラ９６に伝達され、全ての支持ローラ９６が回転駆動される。横行駆動機９７は、各列２０〜２３（図１）毎に設けられる最上段支持部材９１に設けられており、各列２０〜２３において物品収納部３０を個別に横行させるようになっている。しかも、この横行駆動部９０を枠体５側に設けることで、物品収納部３０への配線等を無くして物品収納部３０をシンプルな構成にしている。 Further, in this embodiment, one of the plurality of support rollers 96 is rotatably driven by the traverse drive machine (motor) 97 provided on the uppermost stage support member 91. By this traverse driving machine 97, one supporting roller 96 is rotationally driven, and the power of the supporting roller 96 is transmitted to each supporting roller 96 by a chain via the sprocket 96a, and all the supporting rollers 96 are rotationally driven. The traverse driver 97 is provided on the uppermost stage support member 91 provided for each of the rows 20 to 23 (FIG. 1), and the article storage units 30 are individually traversed in each of the rows 20 to 23. . Moreover, by providing the traverse drive section 90 on the frame body 5 side, wiring etc. to the article storage section 30 is eliminated and the article storage section 30 has a simple structure.

さらに、最上段支持部材９１は、上記昇降チェーン８２によって物品収納部３０を昇降させるときには物品収納部３０が昇降するエリアから一旦退避位置に退避させられ、物品収納部３０を最上段支持部材９１で支持するときには物品収納部３０の支持位置に配置できるようになっている。この実施形態では、最上段支持部材９１を支持するアーム９２によって揺動可能となっている。具体的には、最上段支持部材９１がアーム９２の先端部に支持され、このアーム９２の基部が左右枠材４に設けられたブラケット６に回動軸９３で支持されている。そして、回動軸９３の一方は、左右枠材４に設けられた揺動駆動機（モータ）９４によって回転駆動されるようになっている。従って、揺動駆動機９４で回動軸９３を回転させることにより、アーム９２を介して最上段支持部材９１を物品収納部３０の支持位置と退避位置とに揺動させることができる。この最上段支持部材９１を物品収納部３０の支持位置と退避位置とに揺動させる機構としては、揺動機構以外にリンク機構、スライド機構などの方式を用いることができる。 Furthermore, the uppermost support member 91 is temporarily retracted from the area in which the article storage unit 30 moves up and down when the article storage unit 30 is raised and lowered by the lifting chain 82, and the article storage unit 30 is moved by the uppermost support member 91. When supporting, it can be arranged at the supporting position of the article storage unit 30. In this embodiment, it is swingable by an arm 92 that supports the uppermost support member 91. Specifically, the uppermost support member 91 is supported by the tip of the arm 92, and the base of the arm 92 is supported by the bracket 6 provided on the left and right frame members 4 by the rotating shaft 93. One of the rotating shafts 93 is rotationally driven by a swing drive machine (motor) 94 provided on the left and right frame members 4. Therefore, by rotating the rotary shaft 93 with the swing drive device 94, the uppermost stage support member 91 can be swung between the support position of the article storage unit 30 and the retracted position via the arm 92. As a mechanism for swinging the uppermost stage support member 91 between the support position of the article storage unit 30 and the retracted position, a system such as a link mechanism or a slide mechanism can be used in addition to the swing mechanism.

また、枠体５の前後位置に設けられた最上段支持部材９１は、揺動駆動機９４を同期させて駆動することで、同時に揺動させることができる。この前後位置の最上段支持部材９１を同時に退避させる構成は、リンク機構などの駆動力をチェーンや軸などを用いたり、電気的に同期させて連動させることができる。なお、最上段支持部材９１の退避方向は、下方でもよい。 Further, the uppermost stage support members 91 provided at the front and rear positions of the frame body 5 can be simultaneously rocked by driving the rocking drive machine 94 in synchronization. With the configuration in which the uppermost support members 91 at the front and rear positions are retracted at the same time, the driving force of the link mechanism or the like can be interlocked by using a chain, a shaft, or the like or electrically synchronizing them. The uppermost support member 91 may be retracted downward.

従って、揺動駆動機９４で回動軸９３を介してアーム９２を揺動させることにより、最上段支持部材９１を、上下枠材２の方向に退避させた退避位置（図５に示す二点鎖線）と、物品収納部３０を支持する支持位置（図４）と、に変化させることができる。 Therefore, the uppermost support member 91 is retracted in the direction of the upper and lower frame members 2 by swinging the arm 92 by the swing driver 94 via the rotary shaft 93 (two points shown in FIG. 5). It can be changed to a chain line) and a support position (FIG. 4) for supporting the article storage unit 30.

一方、最下段支持部材９９は、図３に示すように、固定位置で物品収納部３０の下面に設けられたレール部材３２を下方から支持できればよいため、上記最上段支持部材９１のように揺動（退避）させる揺動機構は設けられていない。この最下段支持部材９９にも、支持ローラ９６が設けられており、この支持ローラ９６を回転駆動することにより物品収納部３０を横行させるようになっている。この最下段支持部材９９は、上記最上段支持部材９１とは揺動させる構成が異なるのみであり、物品収納部３０を横行させる構成は最上段支持部材９１と同様に、横行駆動機９７で支持ローラ９６を回転させて物品収納部３０を横行させる構成である。このため、同一の構成には同一符号を付して、その詳細な説明は省略する。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the lowermost stage supporting member 99 only needs to be able to support the rail member 32 provided on the lower surface of the article storage unit 30 from below at a fixed position. Therefore, the lowermost stage supporting member 99 swings like the uppermost stage supporting member 91. No swing mechanism for moving (retracting) is provided. The lowermost support member 99 is also provided with a support roller 96, and the article storage unit 30 is made to traverse by rotationally driving the support roller 96. The lowermost stage support member 99 is different from the uppermost stage support member 91 only in the swinging configuration, and the configuration for traversing the article storage unit 30 is supported by the traverse driving machine 97 similarly to the uppermost stage support member 91. This is a configuration in which the roller 96 is rotated to traverse the article storage unit 30. Therefore, the same components are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

なお、この実施形態では、物品収納部３０の横行駆動部９０として、最上段及び最下段で物品収納部３０を支持する支持ローラ９６を回転駆動することにより各列で横行させる機構を用いているが、この横行駆動部９０は、クランク機構やフック付チェーンを係合させて送る機構など、他の機構を用いてもよい。 In this embodiment, as the traverse driving unit 90 of the article storage unit 30, a mechanism that causes the support rollers 96 that support the article storage unit 30 at the uppermost stage and the lowermost stage to rotate so as to traverse in each row is used. However, the traverse drive unit 90 may use another mechanism such as a crank mechanism or a mechanism for engaging and sending a chain with hooks.

図５にも示すように、上記最上段支持部材９１は、上記回動軸９３を揺動駆動機９４で回転させることによって、アーム９２で支持された最上段支持部材９１を、物品収納部３０を支持する支持位置（図示する実線の位置）と、上下枠材２の方向に退避させた退避位置（二点鎖線で輪郭を示す位置）とに揺動させることができる。 As shown in FIG. 5, the uppermost stage support member 91 rotates the rotary shaft 93 by the swing drive 94 to move the uppermost stage support member 91 supported by the arm 92 to the article storage unit 30. Can be swung between a support position (a position indicated by a solid line in the figure) for supporting the position and a retracted position retracted in the direction of the upper and lower frame members 2 (a position indicated by a two-dot chain line).

最上段である５段目１４に物品収納部３０を配置する場合、最上段支持部材９１を退避位置（二点鎖線位置）とした後、昇降チェーン８２によって物品収納部３０を５段目１４の支持位置よりも上方へ移動させる（二点鎖線で示す位置）。これにより、最上段に配置する物品収納部３０を最上段支持部材９１に当接させることなく上方に移動させることができる。その後、最上段支持部材９１を支持位置（実線位置）に揺動させて配置した後、昇降チェーン８２を逆向きに回転させて物品収納部３０のレール部材３２を最上段支持部材９１の支持ローラ９６で支持する。そして、係止フック８１が係止部材３１から外れるまで昇降チェーン８２を逆方向にさらに回転させることで、５段目１４に物品収納部３０を配置する動作が完了する（図示する実線状態）。 When arranging the article storage unit 30 in the fifth stage 14 which is the uppermost stage, the uppermost stage support member 91 is set to the retracted position (the position indicated by the alternate long and two short dashes line), and then the article storage unit 30 is moved to the fifth stage 14 by the lifting chain 82. It is moved above the support position (position indicated by the chain double-dashed line). As a result, the article storage unit 30 arranged on the uppermost stage can be moved upward without contacting the uppermost stage supporting member 91. After that, the uppermost support member 91 is rocked to the supporting position (solid line position), and then the lifting chain 82 is rotated in the opposite direction so that the rail member 32 of the article storage unit 30 is supported by the supporting roller of the uppermost support member 91. Support at 96. Then, by further rotating the elevating chain 82 in the opposite direction until the locking hook 81 is disengaged from the locking member 31, the operation of arranging the article storage unit 30 in the fifth stage 14 is completed (state shown by the solid line).

このような物品収納設備１によれば、図１，２に示すように、搬出入部４６に配置された物品収納部３０に対して、フォークリフト１００を用いて物品Ｇを持ち上げて、側方から搬入、搬出することができる。この例では、長い物品Ｇを物品収納部３０に収納する例を示している。 According to such an article storage facility 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the article G is lifted into the article storage section 30 arranged in the carry-in / out section 46 by using the forklift 100 and is loaded from the side. , Can be carried out. In this example, an example in which a long article G is stored in the article storage unit 30 is shown.

［第２実施形態の物品収納設備］
図６は、第２実施形態に係る物品収納設備を示す正面図である。なお、上記第１実施形態の物品収納設備１と同一の構成には同一符号を付し、その説明は省略する。 [Item storage facility of the second embodiment]
FIG. 6 is a front view showing the article storage facility according to the second embodiment. The same components as those of the article storage facility 1 of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

第２実施形態の物品収納設備５０は、物品収納部３０を収納スペース４５の端列に備えられた搬出入部４６から枠体５の外方に横行させる横行装置５１を備えている。横行装置５１による物品収納部３０の横行は、搬出入部４６に移動させた物品収納部３０を、搬出入部４６と枠体５の外方との間で横行させるようになっている。横行装置５１としては、例えば、１段目１０において物品収納部３０を横行させる横行駆動部９０の最下段支持部材９９を、枠体５の外側まで延長するようにしてもよい。 The article storage facility 50 of the second embodiment includes a traverse device 51 that traverses the article storage section 30 from the carry-in / out section 46 provided in the end row of the storage space 45 to the outside of the frame body 5. Traversing of the article storage unit 30 by the traverse device 51 causes the article storage unit 30 moved to the carry-in / carry-out unit 46 to traverse between the carry-in / carry-out unit 46 and the outside of the frame body 5. As the traverse device 51, for example, the lowermost stage support member 99 of the traverse drive unit 90 that traverses the article storage unit 30 in the first stage 10 may be extended to the outside of the frame body 5.

このようにすれば、枠体５の外方に横行させた物品収納部３０に、クレーン１０１等の手段によって物品Ｇを搬出入することが容易にできる。また、フォークリフト１００で搬出入する場合でも、枠体５を気にすることなく作業ができる。 In this way, the article G can be easily carried in and out by means of the crane 101 or the like into the article storage unit 30 that is laterally traversed outside the frame body 5. Further, even when carrying in and out by the forklift 100, the work can be performed without worrying about the frame body 5.

［第３実施形態の物品収納設備］
図７は、第３実施形態に係る物品収納設備を示す正面図である。なお、上記第１実施形態の物品収納設備１と同一の構成には同一符号を付し、その説明は省略する。 [Item storage facility of the third embodiment]
FIG. 7 is a front view showing an article storage facility according to the third embodiment. The same components as those of the article storage facility 1 of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

第３実施形態の物品収納設備６０は、右側半分の物品収納部３０の上部に物品パレット６１を備えさせている。この物品パレット６１は、上面に物品Ｇを載置することができる。そして、この物品パレット６１は、搬出入部４６において、この搬出入部４６と枠体５の外方との間で移動させるための車輪６２を有している。車輪６２は、移動部材である。この例は、フォークリフト１００によって搬出入させる例であり、車輪６２は物品パレット６１の内側部分に備えられており、フォークリフト１００で物品パレット６１の外側部分を持ち上げると、内側部分は車輪６２によって支持された状態となる。この物品パレット６１によれば、物品パレット６１の外側をフォークリフト１００で持ち上げて引き出せば、物品パレット６１の内側部分は車輪６２が転がって枠体５の外方まで移動させることができる。物品収納部３０に載置されて設備内で昇降、横行する際の物品パレット６１は、外側部分が物品収納部３０の上面に当接していることで、ずれ止めとして作用し相対移動を阻止されている。好ましくは、物品収納部３０の左右両側を少し高くすることで、移動阻止の作用をより高めることもできる。 In the article storage facility 60 of the third embodiment, an article pallet 61 is provided above the article storage section 30 on the right half. An article G can be placed on the upper surface of the article pallet 61. The article pallet 61 has wheels 62 for moving the carry-in / carry-out section 46 between the carry-in / carry-out section 46 and the outside of the frame body 5. The wheel 62 is a moving member. This example is an example of loading and unloading by the forklift 100, and the wheels 62 are provided in the inner portion of the article pallet 61. When the outer portion of the article pallet 61 is lifted by the forklift 100, the inner portion is supported by the wheels 62. It will be in a state of being. According to this article pallet 61, when the outer side of the article pallet 61 is lifted by the forklift 100 and pulled out, the wheel 62 rolls inside the article pallet 61 and can be moved to the outside of the frame 5. When the article pallet 61 is placed on the article storage unit 30 and moves up and down and traverses in the facility, the outer portion of the article pallet 61 is in contact with the upper surface of the article storage unit 30 and thus acts as a slip stopper to prevent relative movement. ing. Preferably, the action of preventing movement can be further enhanced by slightly raising the left and right sides of the article storage unit 30.

このようにすれば、搬出入部４６に移送した物品収納部３０は搬出入部４６に位置させた状態で、物品パレット６１のみを枠体５の外方との間で移動させることができる。よって、枠体５の外方に移動させた物品パレット６１に、クレーン１０１等の手段によって物品Ｇを搬出入することが容易にできる。なお、本実施形態では右側半分と左側半分がそれぞれ独立して動作する２つの装置として構成され、枠体５を共有する例を示している。 With this configuration, only the article pallet 61 can be moved to the outside of the frame body 5 in a state where the article storage unit 30 transferred to the carry-in / out section 46 is positioned at the carry-in / out section 46. Therefore, the article G can be easily carried in and out of the article pallet 61 moved to the outside of the frame body 5 by means of the crane 101 or the like. In the present embodiment, an example in which the right half and the left half are configured as two devices that operate independently and share the frame 5 is shown.

［第４実施形態の物品収納設備］
図８は、第４実施形態に係る物品収納設備を示す正面図である。なお、上記第１実施形態の物品収納設備１と同一の構成には同一符号を付し、その説明は省略する。 [Item storage facility of the fourth embodiment]
FIG. 8 is a front view showing an article storage facility according to the fourth embodiment. The same components as those of the article storage facility 1 of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

第４実施形態の物品収納設備７０は、物品収納部７１が、物品Ｇを搬出入部４６と枠体５の外方との間で移送する移送装置７２を有している。この移送装置７２としては、例えば、コンベアを用いることができる。コンベア以外に、ローラ列やオムニローラなどを配置してもよい。これにより、物品Ｇの取り出し易さを向上させることができる。 In the article storage equipment 70 of the fourth embodiment, the article storage section 71 has a transfer device 72 that transfers the article G between the carry-in / out section 46 and the outside of the frame body 5. As the transfer device 72, for example, a conveyor can be used. In addition to the conveyor, a roller row or omni roller may be arranged. Thereby, the ease of taking out the article G can be improved.

このようにすれば、搬出入部４６に搬送された物品収納部３０上の物品Ｇは、移送装置７２によってフォークリフト１００等に容易に移送することができる。 In this way, the article G on the article storage section 30 conveyed to the carry-in / out section 46 can be easily transferred to the forklift 100 or the like by the transfer device 72.

［その他の実施形態］
上記第２実施形態の物品収納設備５０では、横行装置５１を備えさせ、上記第３実施形態の物品収納設備６０では、車輪６２を有する物品パレット６１を備えさせて、物品Ｇを搬出入部４６と枠体５の外方との間で移動させるようにしている。しかし、物品Ｇを搬出入部４６と枠体５の外方との間で移動させる構成は、これらの構成以外であってもよく、物品収納部３０ヘの物品Ｇの積み降ろしを枠体５の外方で容易に行えるように物品Ｇを移動させる構成であればよい。 [Other Embodiments]
The article storage facility 50 according to the second embodiment is provided with the traverse device 51, and the article storage facility 60 according to the third embodiment is provided with the article pallet 61 having the wheels 62 to load the article G into the carry-in / out section 46. The frame 5 is moved to and from the outside.
