At this time, the signal input from the load detection sensor S4 to the controller 7 is stopped. Based on the position of the arms 5 and 5 at this time and the distance between the hooks 56 and 56 and the load detection sensor S4, the controller 7 contracts the arms 5 and 5 with the front ends of the hooks 56 and 56 and the load R2. And calculate the position (first position) P5 of the arms 5 and 5 that start to contact each other. Further, after extending the arms 5 and 5, the controller 7 causes the hooks 55 and 55 to enter the contact position P2, and causes the hooks 56 and 56 to enter the contact position P3.

- the conveyor 6B When the rear end of the load R2 enters the conveyor 6B, the conveyor 6B is operating at a speed V4 lower than the contraction speed V3 of the arms 5 and 5, so that the hooks 56 and 56 are pressed against the front end of the load R2. It becomes. Thereby, the load R2 is transferred in a state where the hooks 56, 56 and the load R2 are preferably in contact with each other.
- the controller 7 stops the contraction of the arms 5 and 5. Then, when the load R2 is moved to a desired position by the conveyor 6B, the controller 7 stops the conveyor 6B, and a series of operations ends.

- FIG. 5 shows a case where only the load R2 placed in the placement area FB is dropped onto the shelf 91.
- the hooks 55 and 55 function as a first hook that comes into contact with the rear end of the load R2.
- the contact position P2 is the first contact position where the hooks 55 and 55 enter.
- the controller 7 causes the hooks 55 and 55 to enter the contact position P2, and causes the hooks 56 and 56 to enter the contact position P3. Note that the hooks 56 and 56 do not have to enter the contact position P2. Further, the controller 7 moves the conveyor 6B to the rear side to bring the hooks 55 and 55 into contact with the rear end of the load R2. As a result, the load detection sensor S3 enters a detection state, and a signal is input from the load detection sensor S3 to the controller 7.
- the controller 7 starts the extension of the arm 5 and accelerates the arm 5 to the extension speed V5 at time t3. . Moreover, the controller 7 operates the conveyor 6B to the front side at a speed V6 that is lower than the extension speed V5. Since the conveyor 6B operates at a speed V6 that is lower than the extension speed V5 of the arms 5 and 5, the hooks 55 and 55 are pressed against the rear end of the load R2. Thereby, the load R2 is transferred in a state where the hooks 55, 55 and the load R2 are preferably in contact with each other. When the entire load R2 is placed on the shelf 91 and the load R2 is moved to a desired position by the arms 5 and 5, the controller 7 stops the arms 5 and 5 and the conveyor 6B, and the series of operations ends.
- the load R2 can be moved by the arms 5, 5 and the conveyors 6A, 6B.
- the conveyor 6B is moved forward at a speed V6 that is lower than the extension speed V5 of the arms 5, 5. Therefore, the hooks 55 and 55 are pressed against the load, and the load R2 is lowered onto the shelf 91 in a state where the hooks 55 and 55 and the load R2 are preferably in contact with each other.
- the conveyor 6B is operated to the rear side at a speed V4 lower than the contraction speed V3 of the arms 5 and 5. Therefore, the hooks 56 and 56 are pressed against the load R2, and the load R2 is loaded on the placement region FB while the hooks 56 and 56 and the load R2 are preferably in contact with each other. Therefore, in both cases of loading the load R2 onto the shelf 91 and loading the load R2 on the placement area FB, the occurrence of breakage and displacement of the load R2 is suppressed. Therefore, the load R2 can be stably transferred. Further, since the load R2 is moved by the conveyor 6B in addition to the arms 5 and 5, the burden on the arms 5 and 5 can be reduced.
- the arms 5 and 5 detect the front end of the load R2 arranged on the shelf 91 at a position between the hook 55 and the hook 56 in the Y direction and close to the hook 56.
- the controller 7 has a possible load detection sensor S4, and when the controller 7 extends the arms 5 and 5, the position of the arm 5 when the load detection sensor S4 detects the front end of the load R2 arranged on the shelf 91.
- the load detection sensor S4 is positioned at the position of the arm 5 when the front end of the load R2 is detected. Based on this, the arm position P5 at which the hooks 56, 56 can contact the front end of the load R2 is stored.
- the arms 5 and 5 operate at the contraction speed V2 from the position P6 to the position P5 while the hooks 56 and 56 come into contact with the front end of the load R2. Otherwise, the arms 5 and 5 are operated at a contraction speed V1 and contraction speed V3 higher than the contraction speed V2. Therefore, the time for loading the load R2 can be shortened.

- the placement area FB becomes the first placement area
- the placement area FA becomes the second placement area.
- the conveyor 6B functions as a first conveyor
- the conveyor 6A functions as a second conveyor.
- the load R2 arranged on the shelf 91 may be loaded on the placement area FB using the hook 55.
- the hooks 55 and 55 function as a second hook.
- the contact position P2 is the second contact position.
- the load R1 arranged on the shelf 91 may be loaded on the placement area FA using the hooks 54.
- the hooks 54 and 54 function as a second hook.
- the contact position P1 is the second contact position.
- the load R1 arranged in the placement area FA may be lowered to the shelf 91 using the hook 55.
- the hooks 55 and 55 function as a first hook.
- the contact position P2 is the first contact position.
- the load R2 arranged in the placement area FB may be lowered to the shelf 91 using the hook 56.
- the hooks 56 and 56 function as a first hook.
- the contact position P3 is the first contact position.
- the controller 7 sets the arms 5 and 5 as the first positions of the arms 5 and 5 with which the hooks 56 and 56 and the front end of the load R2 can contact.
- the position P5 at which the hooks 56, 56 and the front end of the load R2 start to come into contact with each other when being contracted is calculated.
- a position (first position) P7 slightly behind the position P5 is calculated as the first position of the arms 5 and 5 where the hooks 56 and 56 and the front end of the load R2 can reliably contact each other. Also good.

- 前後方向に沿って前側に伸長することで、載置領域に配置された荷を棚に降ろすと共に、前記前後方向に沿って後側に収縮することで、前記棚に配置された前記荷を前記載置領域に積むアームと、
前記載置領域に設けられ、前記前後方向に沿って前記荷を移動させるコンベアと、
前記アーム及び前記コンベアの動作を制御するコントローラと、を備え、
前記アームは、
前記荷への当接が可能な第1当接位置に対して進退可能であり、前記載置領域に配置された前記荷を前記棚に降ろす際に前記第1当接位置に進入して、前記載置領域に配置された前記荷の後端に当接する第1フックと、
前記荷への当接が可能な第2当接位置に対して進退可能であり、前記棚に配置された前記荷を前記載置領域に積む際に前記第2当接位置に進入して、前記棚に配置された前記荷の前端に当接する第2フックと、を有し、
前記コントローラは、前記載置領域に配置された前記荷を前記棚に降ろす場合には、前記アームの伸長速度よりも低い速度で前側に前記コンベアを動作させ、前記棚に配置された前記荷を前記載置領域に積む場合には、前記アームの収縮速度よりも低い速度で後側に前記コンベアを動作させる、移載装置。 - 前記アームは、前記前後方向において、前記第1フックと前記第2フックとの間の位置であって、前記第2フック寄りの位置に、前記棚に配置された前記荷の前端を検出可能な荷検出センサを有しており、
前記コントローラは、
前記アームを伸長させる際に、前記荷検出センサが前記棚に配置された前記荷の前端を検出したときの前記アームの位置に基づいて、前記第2フックと前記棚に配置された前記荷の前端とが当接可能な前記アームの第1の位置を算出可能であり、
前記棚に配置された前記荷を前記載置領域に積む際に、
前記第1の位置よりも前側の第2の位置まで、前記アームを第1の収縮速度で動作させ、
前記第2の位置から前記第1の位置まで、前記アームを前記第1の収縮速度よりも低い第2の収縮速度で動作させ、
前記第1の位置から、前記アームを前記第2の収縮速度よりも高い第3の収縮速度で動作させると共に、前記コンベアを前記第3の収縮速度よりも低い第4の速度で後側に動作させる、請求項1記載の移載装置。 - 前記コンベアは、第1のコンベアと、前記前後方向において前記第1のコンベアよりも前側に設けられた第2のコンベアを有しており、
前記コントローラは、前記コンベア上に2つの前記荷が載置された場合に、前記第1のコンベア及び前記第2のコンベアを独立して駆動することにより、前記2つの荷の間隔を調節可能である、請求項1又は2記載の移載装置。
