各搬送台車20,21はいずれも、保管棚1に備えられた複数の保管部2のうちのいずれかの保管部2にある物品を物品移載装置12を介して受け取り、物品を保持した状態で同一面(同一床面)上に渡って走行し、物品搬出入部42へ走行することで物品を作業者の元へ搬送する。 Each of the transport carriages 20 and 21 receives an article in one of the plurality of storage units 2 provided in the storage shelf 1 via the article transfer device 12 and holds the article. The vehicle travels on the same surface (same floor surface) and travels to the product carry-in / out unit 42 to convey the product to the operator.
上記構成の昇降台10により物品を出庫する移載作動について説明する。外部操作盤によって物品保管設備の外部から操作する昇降台10の電源投入(起動)時の位置は、昇降台10の原点復帰位置であって、しかも保管棚1の上下高さ位置であり、具体的には、そのうちの保管部2最下段の移載位置であり、昇降モータ11で昇降台10を目的の保管部2まで上昇或は下降させて、物品移載装置12で所定の保管部2にある物品をフォーク12で掬って取り出し、昇降台10上に物品を移載支持する。その後、昇降台10は架台フレーム3下の第一の搬送台車20との受け渡し位置である上段位置まで下降する。この昇降台10による保管部2からの物品の取り出し動作と並行して、第一の搬送台車20を所定の昇降台10と受け渡し可能な位置の手前まで走行させて停止させる。これら昇降台10による保管部2からの物品の取り出し動作と第一の搬送台車20を受け渡し可能な位置へ停止させる動作が共に終了したタイミングで、物品が昇降台10の物品移載装置位置から第一の搬送台車20へ受け渡しされる。そして、第一の搬送台車20を物品搬出入部42へ走行することで出庫の移載作動が終了する。 A transfer operation for unloading articles by the lifting platform 10 having the above configuration will be described. The position at the time of turning on (starting up) the lifting platform 10 operated from the outside of the article storage facility by the external operation panel is the origin return position of the lifting platform 10 and the vertical height position of the storage shelf 1. Specifically, it is the lowest transfer position of the storage unit 2, and the elevator 10 is raised or lowered to the target storage unit 2 by the elevating motor 11, and the predetermined storage unit 2 is moved by the article transfer device 12. Then, the fork 12 is taken out and the article is transferred and supported on the lifting platform 10. Thereafter, the lift 10 is lowered to an upper position that is a delivery position with the first transport carriage 20 below the gantry frame 3. In parallel with the operation of taking out the articles from the storage unit 2 by the elevator 10, the first transport carriage 20 is moved to a position where it can be delivered to the predetermined elevator 10 and stopped. At the timing when both the operation of taking out the article from the storage unit 2 by the elevator 10 and the operation of stopping to the position where the first transport carriage 20 can be delivered are completed, the article is moved from the article transfer device position of the elevator 10 to the first position. It is delivered to one transport cart 20. Then, by moving the first transport carriage 20 to the article carry-in / out section 42, the unloading operation is completed.
なお、第一の搬送台車20が所定の昇降台10と受け渡し可能な位置の手前までの間に、他の昇降台10の停止位置が原因で第一の搬送台車20の走行を塞ぐことが予め予想される場合には、他の昇降台10及びその物品移載装置12は保管棚1の高さ位置まで上昇して待機し、第一の搬送台車20の通過を待つことで第一の搬送台車20の走行を可能とする。同様に、第二の搬送台車21についても所定の昇降台10と受け渡し可能な位置の手前までの間に、他の昇降台10の停止位置が原因で第二の搬送台車21の走行を塞ぐことが予め予想される場合には、他の昇降台10及びその物品移載装置12は保管棚1の高さ位置、あるいは上段位置まで上昇して待機し、第二の搬送台車21の通過を待つことで第二の搬送台車21の走行を可能とする。 なお、出庫データの指令があった際に、第一の搬送台車20と第二の搬送台車21のいずれを選択するかは、任意に選択できる。 It is to be noted that the travel of the first transport carriage 20 is blocked in advance by the stop position of the other lift platform 10 before the position where the first transport platform 20 can be transferred to and from the predetermined lift platform 10. When expected, the other lifting platform 10 and its article transfer device 12 rise to the height position of the storage shelf 1 and wait, and wait for the first transport cart 20 to pass through the first transport platform 20. The carriage 20 can travel. Similarly, with respect to the second transport carriage 21, the travel of the second transport carriage 21 is blocked due to the stop position of the other lift base 10 before the position where it can be transferred to and from the predetermined lift base 10. Is predicted in advance, the other lifting platform 10 and its article transfer device 12 rise to the height position or upper position of the storage shelf 1 and wait, and wait for the second transport carriage 21 to pass through. This enables the second transport carriage 21 to travel. In addition, when there is a command for the delivery data, it can be arbitrarily selected which of the first transport cart 20 and the second transport cart 21 is selected.
また、同時に2つの物品を出庫する移載動作について説明する。2つの出庫オーダに対して、第一の搬送台車20と第二の搬送台車21の
両搬送台車20,21を走行させる。まず初めに、手前側から後方側へ7台目奥の保管棚1の物品に対して出庫オーダの指令があり、第一の搬送台車20を引き当てた。その次に、手前側から後方側へ4台目の奥の保管棚1の物品に対して出庫オーダの指令があり、第二の搬送台車21を引き当てた。
In addition, a transfer operation for unloading two articles at the same time will be described. The two transport carts 20 and 21 of the first transport cart 20 and the second transport cart 21 are caused to travel for two delivery orders. First, a delivery order command was issued to the article in the storage shelf 1 at the back of the seventh unit from the front side to the rear side, and the first transport cart 20 was assigned. Next, there was a delivery order command from the front side to the rear side for the articles in the storage shelf 1 at the back of the fourth unit, and the second transport carriage 21 was assigned.
初め(1つ目)のオーダに対して、手前側から後方側へ7台目の奥の保管棚1に対応する昇降モータ11で昇降台10を目的の保管部2まで上昇させて、物品移載装置12で所定の保管部2にある物品をフォーク12で掬って取り出し、昇降台10上に物品を移載支持する。その後、昇降台10は架台フレーム3下の第一の搬送台車20との受け渡し位置まで下降する。この昇降台10による保管部2からの物品の取り出し動作と並行して、第一の搬送台車20を所定の昇降台10と受け渡し可能な位置の手前まで走行させて停止させる。これら昇降台10による保管部2からの物品の取り出し動作と第一の搬送台車20を受け渡し可能な位置へ停止させる動作が共に終了したタイミングで、物品が昇降台10の物品移載装置位置から第一の搬送台車20へ受け渡しされる。そして、第一の搬送台車20を物品搬出入部42へ走行する。 With respect to the first (first) order, the elevator 10 corresponding to the seventh storage shelf 1 is raised from the near side to the rear side by raising the elevator 10 to the target storage unit 2 to transfer the article. The article in the predetermined storage unit 2 is picked up by the fork 12 by the loading device 12 and the article is transferred and supported on the lifting platform 10. Thereafter, the lifting platform 10 is lowered to the delivery position with the first transport carriage 20 below the gantry frame 3. In parallel with the operation of taking out the articles from the storage unit 2 by the elevator 10, the first transport carriage 20 is moved to a position where it can be delivered to the predetermined elevator 10 and stopped. At the timing when both the operation of taking out the article from the storage unit 2 by the elevator 10 and the operation of stopping to the position where the first transport carriage 20 can be delivered are completed, the article is moved from the article transfer device position of the elevator 10 to the first position. It is delivered to one transport cart 20. Then, the first transport carriage 20 travels to the article carry-in / out section 42.
その間、その次(2つ目)のオーダに対応して、手前側から後方側へ4台目の奥の保管棚1に対応する昇降台10は、第一の搬送台車20が通り過ぎるまで保管部最下段の移載位置で待機し、第一の搬送台車20が通過することで手前側から後方側へ4台目の奥の保管棚1に対応する昇降台10は第二の搬送台車21との受け渡し位置である下段空間41まで下降する。なお、第二の搬送台車21は、第一の搬送台車20とは関係なく独立して搬送可能であるため、手前側から後方側へ4台目の奥の保管棚1に対応する昇降台10の物品移載装置12と受け渡し可能な位置まで走行させて停止させる。これら昇降台10による保管部2からの物品の取り出し動作と第二の搬送台車21を受け渡し可能な位置へ停止させる動作が共に終了したタイミングで、物品が昇降台10の物品移載装置位置から第二の搬送台車21へ受け渡しされる。そして、第二の搬送台車21を物品搬出入部42へ走行する。 Meanwhile, the elevator 10 corresponding to the fourth storage shelf 1 from the front side to the rear side corresponding to the next (second) order is stored in the storage unit until the first transport carriage 20 passes. The elevator 10 corresponding to the storage shelf 1 at the back of the fourth unit from the front side to the rear side by waiting for the first transfer cart 20 and passing through the first transfer cart 20 is the second transfer cart 21. Descends to the lower space 41 which is the delivery position. In addition, since the 2nd conveyance trolley 21 can be conveyed independently irrespective of the 1st conveyance trolley 20, the raising / lowering platform 10 corresponding to the storage shelf 1 of the 4th back | inner side from the near side to the back side. The product is moved to a position where it can be transferred to and from the article transfer device 12 and stopped. At the timing when both the operation of taking out the article from the storage unit 2 by the elevator 10 and the operation of stopping the article to the position where the second transport carriage 21 can be delivered are completed, the article is moved from the article transfer device position of the elevator 10 Delivered to the second transport carriage 21. Then, the second transport carriage 21 travels to the article carry-in / out section 42.
上記構成の昇降台10により物品を入庫する移載作動について説明する。第二の搬送台車21が物品搬出入部42になければ、外部操作により第二の搬送台車21を物品搬出入部42へ走行させて作業者の元へ搬送する。入庫すべき物品を第二の搬送台車21へ載置すると、第二の搬送台車21を所定の昇降台10と受け渡し可能な位置の手前まで走行させて停止させる。出庫すべく保管棚1に対応した昇降台10を昇降モータ11で下段空間41まで下降させる。この第二の搬送台車21を所定の昇降台10と受け渡し可能な位置へ停止させる動作と並行して出庫すべく保管棚1に対応した昇降台10を昇降モータ11で下段空間41まで下降させる動作が共に終了したタイミングで、物品が第二の搬送台車21から昇降台10の物品移載装置12へ受け渡しされる。そして、昇降台10を目的の保管部2まで上昇し、物品移載装置12で所定の保管部2へ物品を受け渡すことで入庫の移載作動が終了する。 A transfer operation for receiving articles by the lifting platform 10 having the above configuration will be described. If the second transport carriage 21 is not in the article carry-in / out section 42, the second transport carriage 21 travels to the article carry-in / out section 42 by an external operation and is transported to the operator. When the article to be stored is placed on the second transport carriage 21, the second transport carriage 21 is moved to a position where it can be delivered to and from the predetermined lifting platform 10 and stopped.

また、同時に2つの物品を出庫する移載動作について説明する。2つの入庫オーダに対して、第一の搬送台車20と第二の搬送台車21の両搬送台車20,21を走行させる。まず初めに、手前側から後方側へ7台目の奥の保管棚1の物品に対して入庫オーダの指令があり、第一の搬送台車20を引き当てた。その次に、手前側から後方側へ4台目の奥の保管棚1の物品に対して入庫オーダの指令があり、第二の搬送台車21を引き当てた。第一の搬送台車20と第二の搬送台車21がそれぞれ物品搬出入部42になければ、外部操作により各搬送台車20、21を物品搬出入部42へ走行させて作業者の元へ搬送する。入庫すべき物品を第一の搬送台車20と第二の搬送台車21へ載置する In addition, a transfer operation for unloading two articles at the same time will be described. The two transport carts 20 and 21 of the first transport cart 20 and the second transport cart 21 are caused to travel with respect to the two warehousing orders. First, there was a warehousing order command for an article in the storage shelf 1 in the seventh back from the front side to the rear side, and the first transport cart 20 was assigned. Next, there was a warehousing order command for the article in the storage shelf 1 in the fourth back from the front side to the rear side, and the second transport carriage 21 was assigned. If the 1st conveyance trolley 20 and the 2nd conveyance trolley 21 are not in the articles | goods carrying in / out part 42, respectively, each conveyance trolleys 20 and 21 will be traveled to the goods carrying in / out part 42 by external operation, and will be conveyed to the operator. Articles to be stored are placed on the first transport cart 20 and the second transport cart 21.
初め(1つ目)のオーダに対して、物品を支持した第一の搬送台車20を手前側から後方側へ7台目の奥の保管棚1に対応する所定の昇降台10と受け渡し可能な位置の手前まで走行させて停止させる。入庫すべく保管棚1に対応した昇降台10を昇降モータ11で上段空間40まで下降させる。この第一の搬送台車20を手前側から後方側へ7台目の奥の保管棚1に対応する所定の昇降台10と受け渡し可能な位置の手前まで走行させて停止させる動作と入庫すべく保管棚1に対応した昇降台10を昇降モータ11で上段空間40まで下降させる動作が共に終了したタイミングで、物品が第一の搬送台車20から昇降台10の物品移載装置12へ受け渡しされる。そして、昇降台10を目的の保管部2まで上昇し、物品移載装置12で所定の保管部2へ物品を受け渡すことで入庫の移載作動が終了する。 For the first (first) order, the first transport carriage 20 supporting the article can be transferred from the front side to the rear side with a predetermined lift 10 corresponding to the seventh storage shelf 1 in the back. Drive to the front of the position and stop. The elevator 10 corresponding to the storage shelf 1 is lowered to the upper space 40 by the elevator motor 11 in order to enter. The first transport carriage 20 is moved from the front side to the rear side to a predetermined lifting platform 10 corresponding to the seventh storage shelf 1 and the position where it can be delivered and stopped, and stored for storage. Articles are delivered from the first transport carriage 20 to the article transfer device 12 of the elevator 10 at the timing when the operation of lowering the elevator 10 corresponding to the shelf 1 to the upper space 40 by the elevator motor 11 is completed. Then, the elevator 10 is moved up to the target storage unit 2, and the article transfer operation is completed by delivering the article to the predetermined storage unit 2 by the article transfer device 12.
その間、その次(2つ目)のオーダに対応して、手前側から後方側へ4台目の奥の保管棚1に対応する昇降台10は、第一の搬送台車20が通り過ぎるまで保管部最下段の移載位置で待機し、第一の搬送台車20が通過することで手前側から後方側へ4台目の奥の保管棚1に対応する昇降台10は第二の搬送台車21との受け渡し位置である下段空間41まで下降する。なお、第二の搬送台車21は、第一の搬送台車20とは関係なく独立して搬送可能であるため、手前側から後方側へ4台目の奥の保管棚1に対応する昇降台10の物品移載装置12と受け渡し可能な位置まで走行させて停止させることができる。そして、この第二の搬送台車21を手前側から後方側へ4台目の奥の保管棚1に対応する所定の昇降台10と受け渡し可能な位置の手前まで走行させて停止させる動作と入庫すべく保管棚1に対応した昇降台10を昇降モータ11で下段空間41まで下降させる動作が共に終了したタイミングで、物品が第一の搬送台車20から昇降台10の物品移載装置12へ受け渡しされる。そして、昇降台10を目的の保管部2まで上昇し、物品移載装置12で所定の保管部2へ物品を受け渡すことで入庫の移載作動が終了する。 Meanwhile, the elevator 10 corresponding to the fourth storage shelf 1 from the front side to the rear side corresponding to the next (second) order is stored in the storage unit until the first transport carriage 20 passes. The elevator 10 corresponding to the storage shelf 1 at the back of the fourth unit from the front side to the rear side by waiting for the first transfer cart 20 and passing through the first transfer cart 20 is the second transfer cart 21. Descends to the lower space 41 which is the delivery position. In addition, since the 2nd conveyance trolley 21 can be conveyed independently irrespective of the 1st conveyance trolley 20, the raising / lowering platform 10 corresponding to the storage shelf 1 of the 4th back | inner side from the near side to the back side. It can be made to travel to a position where it can be transferred to and from the article transfer device 12 and stopped. Then, the second transport carriage 21 is moved from the front side to the rear side to the predetermined lift 10 corresponding to the fourth rear storage shelf 1 and to the front of the position where it can be delivered and stopped. Accordingly, at the timing when the operation of lowering the lifting platform 10 corresponding to the storage shelf 1 to the lower space 41 by the lifting motor 11 is completed, the article is transferred from the first transport carriage 20 to the article transfer device 12 of the lifting platform 10. The Then, the elevator 10 is moved up to the target storage unit 2, and the article transfer operation is completed by delivering the article to the predetermined storage unit 2 by the article transfer device 12.
次に出庫と入庫が同時にオーダされた場合について説明する。すなわち、1つの入庫オーダと1つの出庫オーダがほぼ同時に引き当てられた時であって、第一の搬送台車20と第二の搬送台車21の両搬送台車20,21を走行させる。まず初めに、手前側から後方側へ7台目の奥の保管棚1の物品に対して入庫オーダの指令があり、第一の搬送台車20を引き当てた。その次に、手前側から後方側へ6台目の奥の保管棚1の物品に対して出庫オーダの指令があり、第二の搬送台車21を引き当てた。 Next, explanation will be given on the case where the delivery and receipt are ordered at the same time. That is, when one warehousing order and one warehousing order are assigned almost simultaneously, the two trolleys 20 and 21 of the first transport trolley 20 and the second transport trolley 21 are run. First, there was a warehousing order command for an article in the storage shelf 1 in the seventh back from the front side to the rear side, and the first transport cart 20 was assigned. Next, a delivery order command was issued from the front side to the rear side for an article on the storage shelf 1 at the back of the sixth unit, and the second transport carriage 21 was assigned.
初め(1つ目)のオーダに対して、第一の搬送台車20が物品搬出入部42になければ、外部操作盤によって物品保管設備の外部から操作により第一の搬送台車20を物品搬出入部42へ走行させて作業者の元へ搬送する。入庫すべき物品を第一の搬送台車20へ載置すると、第一の搬送台車20を手前側から後方側へ7台目の奥の昇降台10と受け渡し可能な位置の手前まで走行させて停止させる。手前側から後方側へ7台目の奥の保管棚1に対応する所定の昇降台10を昇降モータ11で上段空間40まで下降させる。この保管棚1に対応する所定の昇降台10を昇降モータ11で上段空間40まで下降させる動作と並行して、物品を支持した第一の搬送台車20を手前側から後方側へ7台目の奥の保管棚1に対応する所定の昇降台10と受け渡し可能な位置の手前まで走行させる。手前側から後方側へ7台目の奥の保管棚1に対応する所定の昇降台10を昇降モータ11で上段空間40まで下降させる動作と、物品を支持した第一の搬送台車20を手前側から後方側へ7台目の奥の保管棚1に対応する所定の昇降台10と受け渡し可能な位置の手前まで走行させる動作が共に終了したタイミングで、物品が第一の搬送台車20から昇降台10の物品移載装置12へ受け渡しされる。そして、昇降台10を目的の保管部2まで上昇し、物品移載装置12で所定の保管部2へ物品を受け渡すことで入庫の移載作動が終了する。 If the first transport carriage 20 is not in the article carry-in / out section 42 with respect to the first (first) order, the first carry carriage 20 is moved from the outside of the article storage facility by the external operation panel. And transport it to the operator. When an article to be stored is placed on the first transport cart 20, the first transport cart 20 is moved from the front side to the rear side to the seventh back of the lift platform 10 and before the position where it can be delivered and stopped. Let A predetermined lifting platform 10 corresponding to the seventh storage shelf 1 from the front side to the rear side is lowered to the upper space 40 by the lifting motor 11. In parallel with the operation of lowering the predetermined lifting platform 10 corresponding to the storage shelf 1 to the upper space 40 by the lifting motor 11, the seventh transport cart 20 supporting the article is moved from the front side to the rear side. The vehicle travels to the front of a position where it can be transferred to and from a predetermined elevator 10 corresponding to the storage shelf 1 in the back. An operation of lowering a predetermined lifting platform 10 corresponding to the seventh storage shelf 1 from the front side to the rear side to the upper space 40 by the lifting motor 11 and the first transport cart 20 supporting the article on the front side The article is moved from the first transport carriage 20 to the rear side at the timing when both the predetermined elevator 10 corresponding to the seventh storage shelf 1 from the rear to the rear side and the operation of traveling to the front of the position where the delivery can be completed are completed. 10 articles are transferred to the article transfer device 12. Then, the elevator 10 is moved up to the target storage unit 2, and the article transfer operation is completed by delivering the article to the predetermined storage unit 2 by the article transfer device 12.
しかしこの間、第一の搬送台車20の走行する距離が比較的に長いために時間を要する。そのため、手前側から後方側へ7台目の奥の保管棚1に対応する所定の昇降台10を昇降モータ11で上段空間40まで下降させることとほぼ同時に、手前側から後方側へ6台目の奥の保管棚1の物品に対して次の(2つ目の)出庫オーダの指令に対応して、昇降モータ11で昇降台10を目的の保管部2まで昇降させて、物品移載装置12で所定の保管部2にある物品をフォーク12で掬って取り出し、昇降台10上に物品を移載支持する。その後、昇降台10は第二の搬送台車21との受け渡し位置である下段位置まで一気に下降する。第二の搬送台車21を手前側から後方側へ6台目の奥の昇降台10と受け渡し可能な位置の手前まで走行させて停止させる。手前側から後方側へ6台目の奥の保管棚1の物品に対して出庫オーダの指令に対応して、所定の昇降台10は第二の搬送台車21との受け渡し位置である下段位置まで下降する動作と第二の搬送台車21が物品を出庫する昇降台10の物品移載装置12と受け渡し可能な位置まで走行して停止する動作が共に終了するタイミングで出庫の移載作動が終了する。このように、第一の搬送台車20が物品搬出入部42と物品移載装置12の間を走行中に、その間に位置する昇降台10の物品移載装置12は、干渉しない前記下段空間41にまで下降して待機可能とすることができる。 However, during this time, the distance traveled by the first transport carriage 20 is relatively long, which requires time. Therefore, almost simultaneously with lowering the predetermined lifting platform 10 corresponding to the seventh storage shelf 1 from the front side to the rear side to the upper space 40 by the lifting motor 11, the sixth unit from the front side to the rear side. In response to an instruction of the next (second) delivery order with respect to the article in the storage shelf 1 at the back of the article, the elevator 10 is moved up and down by the elevator motor 11 to the target storage unit 2 to transfer the article. 12, the article in the predetermined storage unit 2 is picked up by the fork 12 and the article is transferred and supported on the lifting platform 10. Thereafter, the lifting platform 10 descends all at once to a lower position that is a delivery position with the second transport carriage 21. The second transport carriage 21 is made to travel from the near side to the rear side until it reaches a position where it can be delivered to the sixth elevator platform 10 at the back. Corresponding to the command of the delivery order for the article in the storage shelf 1 at the back of the sixth unit from the front side to the rear side, the predetermined lifting platform 10 reaches the lower position that is the delivery position with the second transport carriage 21. The loading and unloading operation is completed at the timing when both the lowering operation and the movement of the second transport carriage 21 to the position where the article can be transferred to and the stopping position of the lifting platform 10 are completed. . Thus, while the 1st conveyance trolley 20 drive | works between the goods carrying in / out part 42 and the goods transfer apparatus 12, the goods transfer apparatus 12 of the raising / lowering stand 10 located in the meantime is not in the said lower stage space 41 which does not interfere. It can be lowered to stand by.
各搬送台車20,21を入庫用と出庫用として共に利用しているが、第一の搬送台車20を出庫専用に利用し、第二の搬送台車21を入庫専用に利用しても良い。 物品として長尺物に限定することなく、例えば、一般の平パレットを対象とすることも可能である。 物品移載装置12としてフォーク式を採用したが、これに限らず、フック式やクランプ式であっても良い。 上記実施例では、架台フレーム3上に保管棚1を形成しているが、床にピットを掘って搬送台車20,21をピット内に配置して、保管棚1を床上に配置しても良い。 Each of the transport carts 20 and 21 is used for both warehousing and unloading. However, the first transport cart 20 may be used exclusively for delivery and the second transport cart 21 may be used exclusively for entry. For example, a general flat pallet can be used as an object without being limited to a long article. Although the fork type is adopted as the article transfer device 12, it is not limited to this, and a hook type or a clamp type may be used. In the above embodiment, the storage shelf 1 is formed on the gantry frame 3, but the storage rack 1 may be disposed on the floor by digging a pit in the floor and disposing the transport carts 20 and 21 in the pit. .
