(storage rack portion)
Storage rack portion 20 is the storage space for accommodating and taking care of multiple cargos 12 in the inner space 32b of building 32. It avoids protruding portion 34 and is arranged in storage rack portion 20.Storage rack portion 20 may include that one or more layers accommodates platform 22.In automated warehouse In system 10, storage rack portion 20 includes four layers of receiving platform 22 along short transverse stacking.Each receiving platform 22 includes along plane And along multiple receiving rows 24 of depth direction arrangement.In addition, in the present invention, by multiple receiving rows by constituting storage rack portion 20 It is referred to as a receiving platform 22 positioned at the workbench that multiple receiving rows 24 of same position are constituted in the Z-axis direction in 24.Change speech It, accommodates platform 22 and is arranged along the y axis by multiple receiving rows 24 and constituted.
In the following, being illustrated with reference to Fig. 1 to the planar configuration for accommodating row 24.In the example in fig 1, accommodating platform 22 includes point The two lateral edge depth directions not on the width direction of depth direction carrying mechanism 6 are arranged in the receiving row 24 of eight column.In Fig. 1 In, will be arranged in the right side of depth direction carrying mechanism 6 eight column accommodate rows 24 from front side (downside in Fig. 1) to rear side successively Labeled as accommodate row 24a, accommodate row 24b, accommodate row 24c, accommodate row 24d, accommodate row 24e, accommodate row 24f, accommodate row 24g and Accommodate row for 24 hours.In Fig. 1, will be arranged in the left side of depth direction carrying mechanism 6 eight column accommodate rows 24 in the past lateral rear side according to Secondary label is row 24j, accommodates row 24k, accommodates row 24m, accommodates row 24n, accommodates row 24p, accommodates row 24q, accommodates row 24r And accommodate row 24s.
Each receiving row 24 may include one or along the continuous multiple receiving portion 26 in width direction.In the example in fig 1, Accommodating row 24a, accommodating row 24b and accommodate row 24d includes along continuous six receiving portions 26 in width direction.Accommodate row 24c and appearance The row 24e that receives includes along continuous five receiving portions 26 in width direction.Accommodating row 24f includes along continuous four receivings in width direction Portion 26.Accommodating row 24g includes along continuous three receiving portions 26 in width direction.Row is accommodated for 24 hours comprising continuous along width direction Two receiving portions 26.Row 24j is accommodated, row 24k is accommodated, accommodates row 24m, accommodate row 24n, accommodate row 24p, accommodate row 24q, accommodate Row 24r and receiving row 24s includes along continuous six receiving portions 26 in width direction.Each receiving portion 26 is configured to keeping goods Object 12.Each each receiving portion 26 accommodated in row 24 is linked together along width direction thus what composition extended along width direction Accommodate row 24.By aftermentioned width direction carrying mechanism 4 receiving portion 26 can be carried along width direction in accommodating row 24 Cargo 12.
Size on the width direction of each receiving portion 26 can be different, can also be identical.In the example in fig 1, each It is dimensioned on the width direction of receiving portion 26 identical.Therefore, the size and structure on each width direction for accommodating row 24 Quantity at the receiving portion 26 of the receiving row 24 is substantially directly proportional.Receiving row 24c and receiving row 24e comprising five receiving portions 26 Size on width direction than the receiving row 24a comprising six receiving portions 26, receiving row 24b and accommodates row 24d in width side Upward size is small.That is, size ratio of the receiving row 24 on width direction comprising relatively small number of receiving portion 26 includes opposite Size of the receiving row 24 of more receiving portion 26 on width direction is small, the receiving row 24 comprising relatively large number of receiving portion 26 It is bigger than size of the receiving row 24 on width direction comprising relatively small number of receiving portion 26 in the size on width direction.Include The receiving portion 26 of identical quantity accommodate row 24 width direction on size it is actually equal.It accommodates row 24j, accommodate row 24k, receiving row 24m, receiving row 24n, receiving row 24p, receiving row 24q, receiving row 24r and receiving row 24s include identical number The receiving portion 26 of amount, therefore the size in its width direction is actually with receiving row 24a in the equal sized of width direction.
In this way, for the mutually different multiple receiving rows of the size on width direction, sometimes by the size on width direction Relatively small receiving rower is denoted as small receiving row, and the relatively large sized receiving rower on width direction is denoted as big receiving Row.Specifically, accommodating row 24c for accommodating row 24a, accommodating row 24b and accommodate row 24d, accommodating row 24e, accommodate Row 24f, it accommodates row 24g and accommodates row and go for 24 hours for small receiving.Relative to accommodate row 24f, accommodate row 24g and accommodate row for 24 hours and Speech, accommodating row 24c and accommodating row 24e is to accommodate row greatly.That is, multiple receiving rows 24 are different including the size on width direction Small receiving row and it is big accommodate row, be dimensioned on the small width direction for accommodating row than accommodating greatly on capable width direction Size is small.In the example in fig 1, the small quantity for accommodating the included receiving portion 26 of row is set as the appearance included than accommodating row greatly Receive portion 26 quantity it is few.
If from the viewpoint of increasing open ended quantity of goods, it is preferred accommodate size of the row 24 on width direction compared with Greatly.On the other hand, size of the row 24 on width direction is accommodated to be limited by protruding portion 34.Specifically, accommodating row 24e, holding The size received on the width direction of row 24f, receiving row 24g and receiving row for 24 hours is limited by inclined wall portion 34b, width direction On be dimensioned so as to than accommodate row 24a, accommodate row 24b and accommodate row 24d width direction on size it is small.Accommodate row 24c It is limited by column portion 34c, is dimensioned so as on width direction than accommodating row 24a, accommodating row 24b and accommodating the cross of row 24d Size in wide direction is small.By using above structure, the protruding portion of building 32 can be reduced in Automated Warehouse System 10 Dead zone between 34 and storage rack portion 20.The receiving platform 22 of other layers of these features for being laminated along short transverse is also identical.
It is accommodated between platform 22 in each layer, accommodating size of the row 24 on width direction can be different, or can also be identical. In the example in figure 2, the protruding portion 3 corresponding to buildings 32 such as ceiling rake 34d, each layer accommodate the receiving row 24 of platform 22 Size 4 on width direction is set as different.In Fig. 2, will be laminated in front side accommodate row 24a on receiving row under upward according to Secondary label is row 24a1, accommodates row 24a2, accommodates row 24a3 and accommodate row 24a4.Also, it will be laminated in and accommodate on row 24j Receiving row under upward successively labeled as accommodate row 24j1, accommodate row 24j2, accommodate row 24j3 and accommodate row 24j4.In addition, It in the present invention, will be by being located at the multiple of same position in the Y-axis direction in the multiple receiving rows 24 for constituting storage rack portion 20 It accommodates the workbench that row 24 is constituted and is known as a receiving block 28.In other words, it accommodates block 28 and is arranged by multiple receiving rows 24 along Z-direction It arranges and constitutes.For example, receiving block 28 shown in Fig. 2 is made of receiving row 24a1~24a4 and receiving row 24j1~24j4.In Fig. 1 Example in, storage rack portion 20 is made of the eight receiving blocks 28 arranged along depth direction.
One or more receiving portions 26 along the arrangement of width direction can be separately included by accommodating the receiving row 24 in block 28.? In the example of Fig. 2, it includes continuous along width direction for accommodating row 24a1, accommodating row 24a2, accommodate row 24j1 and accommodate row 24j2 Six receiving portions 26.Accommodating row 24a3 and accommodating row 24j3 includes along continuous four receiving portions 26 in width direction.Accommodate row 24a4 and receiving row 24j4 includes along continuous two receiving portions 26 in width direction.Each receiving portion 26 is configured to keeping goods Object 12.These accommodate each receiving portion 26 in row 24 and link together to constitute and prolong along width direction along width direction respectively The receiving row 24 stretched.The goods of receiving portion 26 can be carried along width direction in accommodating row 24 by width direction carrying mechanism 4 Object 12.
Size of each receiving portion 26 on width direction can be different, can also be identical.In the example in figure 2, each Receiving portion 26 is dimensioned to identical on width direction.Therefore, each size and structure for accommodating row 24 on width direction Quantity at the receiving portion 26 of the receiving row 24 is substantially directly proportional.Receiving row 24a3 comprising four or two receiving portions 26, hold Receive row 24a4, accommodate row 24j3 and accommodate row 24j4 width direction on size than the receiving row comprising six receiving portions 26 Size on 24a1, the width direction for accommodating row 24a2, accommodating row 24j1 and accommodating row 24j2 is small.That is, in the example in figure 2, Size of the receiving row 24 on width direction comprising relatively small number of receiving portion 26 is than including relatively large number of receiving portion 26 It is small to accommodate size of the row 24 on width direction, ruler of the receiving row 24 on width direction comprising relatively large number of receiving portion 26 It is very little bigger than size of the receiving row 24 on width direction comprising relatively small number of receiving portion 26.Receiving portion comprising identical quantity Size of the 26 receiving row 24 on width direction is actually equal.
In this way, for the mutually different multiple receiving rows of the size on width direction, sometimes by the size on width direction Relatively small receiving rower is denoted as small receiving row, and the relatively large sized receiving rower on width direction is denoted as big receiving Row.Specifically, accommodating row for accommodating row 24a1, accommodating row 24a2, accommodate row 24j1 and accommodate row 24j2 24a3, row 24a4 is accommodated, row 24j3 is accommodated and accommodates row 24j4 as small receiving row.Relative to receiving row 24a4 and accommodate row 24j4 For, accommodating row 24a3 and accommodating row 24j3 is big receiving row.That is, it is multiple accommodate rows 24 include size on width direction mutually not Identical small receiving is capable and big accommodate is gone.
Size of the row 24 on width direction is accommodated to be limited by protruding portion 34.Specifically, accommodating row 24a3, accommodating row 24a4, the size accommodated on the width direction of row 24j3 and receiving row 24j4 are limited by ceiling rake 34d, width direction On be dimensioned so as to than accommodate row 24a1, accommodate row 24a2, accommodate row 24j1 and accommodate row 24j2 width direction on ruler It is very little small.In other words, the size on each width direction for accommodating row 24 is set to and stores multiple buildings 32 for accommodating row 24 Inner surface configuration it is corresponding.That is, it is multiple accommodate rows 24 correspond to the inner surface configuration of building 32 and combine small receivings row and It is big to accommodate row and constitute.By using above structure, the ceiling inclination of building 32 can be reduced in Automated Warehouse System 10 Dead zone between portion 34d and storage rack portion 20.These features are also identical for other receiving blocks 28 arranged along depth direction.
Then, carrying mechanism is illustrated.Width direction carrying mechanism 4 is to remove in storage rack portion 20 along width direction The mechanism of cargo transport object 12.As width direction carrying mechanism 4, the carrying mechanism based on various principles can be used.In the example of Fig. 2 In son, width direction carrying mechanism 4 includes width direction track 44 and the conveying trolley travelled on width direction track 44 (the 1 trolley, sub- trolley) 14.Conveying trolley 14 can transport goods 12 in each receiving row 24 along width direction.That is, carrying platform Vehicle 14 can travel between each receiving portion 26 for accommodating row 24 along width direction.In the example in figure 2, each receiving row 24 One end it is adjacent with depth direction track 46 (that is, traveling road) respectively, conveying trolley 14 is configured to from multiple receiving rows 24 Change to the intermediate trolley (the 2nd trolley, main trolley) 16 to depth direction carrying mechanism 6.
