Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、自動倉庫に係り、より詳しくは、故障時または停電時に荷物を倉庫外に搬出できるる補助運搬装置を備えた構成に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来から、荷物を格納する棚が上下左右のマトリクス状に設けられた格納棚ユニットを移送通路を挟んで配置し、前記棚の上下段毎に前記移送通路に沿って移動可能で荷物を移載するためのドーリを配置した自動倉庫が知られている。
【0003】
この種の自動倉庫は棚の段数が多く、且つ高さも一般に6〜7m以上であることが多い。その場合前記各上下段のドーリが故障等したときや停電等の場合、緊急に高い位置の棚の荷物を人手により倉庫外に出すには、従来では、前記移送通路に沿って移動可能な梯子に、人が登って作業するようにしていた。またこの種の移動梯子は、ドーリが通常運転している間は移送通路の奥側端部に設けた退避箇所に退避格納させていた。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、前記移送通路は一般に狭いから移動梯子も略垂直状のものしか使用できず、重いに持つを持って人が梯子を降りることは、墜落事故等のおそれがある。そのため、前記移動梯子に、荷物の昇降台を設け、この昇降台を手動の駆動手段にて昇降作動させるという方法も考えられた。
【0005】
しかしながら、高い位置の棚上の荷物を昇降台に移載する作業は梯子に登った人の手で行わなければならず、危険性は少なくならないという問題があった。
【0006】
本発明では、前記従来の問題を解決すべくなされたものであって、安全且つ容易に荷物を人力により倉庫外に搬出できる手段を備えた自動倉庫を提供することを目的とするものである。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するため、荷物を格納する棚が上下左右のマトリクス状に設けられた格納棚ユニットを移送通路を挟んで配置し、前記棚の上下段毎に前記移送通路に沿って移動可能で荷物を移載するためのドーリを配置した自動倉庫において、前記移送通路には、前記各ドーリの通過及び荷物の移載の邪魔にならない高さ位置であって、前記棚の複数段毎の高さ位置に、移送通路に沿って人が通る歩行廊を設け、該歩行廊には、荷物を載せて前記移送通路に沿って移送できる補助運搬装置を、当該歩行廊の幅方向の両端に設けたことを特徴とするものである。
【0008】
そして、請求項2に記載の発明は、請求項1に記載の自動倉庫において、前記補助運搬装置は搬送ローラとしたものである。
【0009】
他方、請求項3に記載の発明は、請求項1に記載の自動倉庫において、前記補助運搬装置は、前記歩行廊を挟んで配置され、且つ、前記移送通路に沿って長手の無端帯としたものである。
【0010】
さらに、請求項4に記載の発明は、請求項1乃至請求項3に記載の自動倉庫において、前記補助運搬装置が、前記歩行廊の幅方向に適宜間隔にて3列以上配置されているものである。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明を具体化した実施形態について説明する。図1は自動倉庫の側面図、図2は平面図、図3は図2の III−III 線矢視拡大断面図、図4は図3のIV−IV線矢視平面図、図5は補助運搬装置の要部斜視図である。
【0012】
本発明を適用する自動倉庫は、荷物Wを載置収納するための棚2が上下左右方向にマトリクス状に設けられた格納棚ユニット1、1を、その長手方向の間口を、移送通路10を挟んで対向して配置したものであり、各格納棚ユニット1の一端(図1において右端)には、荷物Wの仮置き台3が前記棚2の段毎に設けられている。各格納棚ユニット1は図1〜図5に示すように、間口方向に沿って適宜間隔で立設した支柱7及び横桟8からなるフレームにて構成され、各段毎の横桟8間に平板を固定して棚2を構成する。そして、前記仮置き台3に隣接してリザーバ4が設けられている。一方のリザーバ4は入庫側Aに配置され、他方のリザーバは出庫側Bに配置されている(図2参照)。
【0013】
前記各格納棚ユニット1の間口には、各棚2の段毎に移送通路10に沿って長手の走行レール5が設けられ、この各棚段毎に、前記一対の走行レール5の間に配置された台車枠6bから左右両側に突出する走行車輪6aが一対の走行レール5に載って移動可能なドーリ6が配置されている。そして、各ドーリ6には、棚2と仮置き台3との間で前記各荷物Wを移載するための従来から公知のピッカー手段(図示せず)を備える。本実施形態では、棚2が平板状であるため、ピッカー手段は荷物Wの側方または上方に沿って、前記間口と直交する方向に進退動するように構成されている。
【0014】
前記各リザーバ4には、昇降する荷台9が設けられ、前記各仮置き台3との間で荷物Wを移し替えできるように構成されており、入庫側Aのリザーバ4の荷台9を最下降した位置で荷物Wを受け取り、入庫すべき段に対応する仮置き台3まで上昇させてから荷物Wを移し替える。出庫側Bのリザーバ4では、出庫すべき荷物Wを棚2からドーリ6に移載し、該ドーリ6を移動させて仮置き台3にて荷物Wを移した後、その段まで荷台9を昇降させ、荷物Wを荷台9に移し替え、最下段まで下降して後、出庫するのである。これらの作業は、コンピュータによる出庫指令または入庫指令にて実行される。
【0015】
次に、本発明に係る、歩行廊11及び補助運搬装置12の構成について、図3〜図5を参照しながら説明する。歩行廊11及び補助運搬装置12は、棚2の各段ごとまたは2〜4段毎に設けるものであり、その高さ方向の間隔は、ひとつの歩行廊11上を歩く作業者(人)が若干屈んだ姿勢(余り窮屈な姿勢でない)のときに上段の歩行廊11の下面に当該作業者の頭がつかえない程度とする。例えば、上下棚の高さ方向の間隔(1段の高さ寸法)が50cm程度であれば、3段毎、つまり、150cmの高さ間隔で設ける。前記1段の高さ寸法)が40cm程度であれば、4段毎つまり160cmの高さ間隔で設けて良い。また、歩行廊11及び補助運搬装置12は、その段に近い高さにおけるドーリ6の通過の邪魔にならない高さ位置であり、且つドーリ6と棚2との間での荷物Wの移載に邪魔にならない高さ位置であることを要する。従って、ドーリ6の車輪6aが載る走行レール5の下端より若干低い位置に、歩行廊11及び補助運搬装置12を設けることが好ましい。
【0016】
歩行廊11は、前記相対向配置した格納棚ユニット1、1の支柱7、7杆を繋ぐ横梁13や移送通路10の長手方向に沿う長梁14を介して固定した板フレーム(踏み板)15等からなり、作業者が歩く箇所は滑り止めのために表面に凹凸の付いた板、もしくは孔を多数開けたパンチング板(メタル)を張設している。なお、地面20から各歩行廊11に作業者が昇り降りするために、移送通路10の一端に梯子21を設けておくことが好ましい(図1及び図2参照)。
【0017】
他方、荷物Wを載せて移送通路10に沿って移送させる補助運搬装置12は、歩行廊11を歩行する作業者が軽い力で押しまたは引くことができる手段であり、図3〜図5に示す実施形態では、歩行廊11の幅方向の両端及び中途部に、各支軸に回転自在に枢支された多数の回転コロ16を適宜間隔で配置し、回転コロ16を駆動しない搬送ローラである。支軸は前記長梁14や板フレーム15に固定する。なお、ドーリ6の故障時に対応するためには、前記回転コロ16(搬送ローラ)は電動にて駆動するように構成すべきである。
【0018】
図3及び図5に示すように、各回転コロ16の上端は板フレーム(踏み板)15、横梁13及び長梁14の上面より僅かに上に突出しており、従って各回転コロ16に載せた荷物Wの下面は板フレーム(踏み板)15、横梁13及び長梁14の上面と干渉せずに円滑に移動させることができる。また、3列程度の補助運搬装置12を移送通路10の幅方向に適宜間隔L1,L2にて配置しておけば(図4参照)、荷物Wの長さ寸法L0が長いものでは、3列の搬送ローラ(補助運搬装置12)に跨がって荷物Wを載せて移送すれば良く、長さの短い荷物Wの場合には、適宜の2列の搬送ローラ(補助運搬装置12)に跨がって載せて移送すれば良い。その場合、幅方向の中間の長梁14(図5参照)を作業者の足が載る歩行廊の一部としても良い。
【0019】
補助運搬装置12の他の実施形態としては、前記搬送ローラに替えて、前後に配置した遊転コロに無端帯を巻掛けたベルトコンベヤ(無端帯)17(図2参照)としたり、歩行廊11の幅の左右両側にレールを設け、この左右両側のレールに載った台車(図示せず)であっても良く、いずれにしても、ベルトコンベヤ17及び台車は電動駆動するものであれば、ドーリ6の故障時に対応させることができ、停電時に対応させるには、荷物Wを載せて作業者が人力で押して移動させるベルトコンベヤ17及び台車手段として良いのである。
【0020】
【発明の効果】
以上に説明したように、請求項1に記載の発明の自動倉庫は、荷物を格納する棚が上下左右のマトリクス状に設けられた格納棚ユニットを移送通路を挟んで配置し、前記棚の上下段毎に前記移送通路に沿って移動可能で荷物を移載するためのドーリを配置した自動倉庫において、前記移送通路には、前記各ドーリの通過及び荷物の移載の邪魔にならない高さ位置であって、前記棚の複数段毎の高さ位置に、移送通路に沿って人が通る歩行廊を設け、該歩行廊には、荷物を載せて前記移送通路に沿って移送できる補助運搬装置を、当該歩行廊の幅方向の両端に設けたことを特徴とするものであるから、ドーリが故障したり、停電等により、ドーリが作動しなくても、所定の段近傍の歩行廊に作業者が上り、棚上の荷物を補助運搬装置に移して、緊急に出庫することができる。特に、荷物の荷重が大きい場合や、自動倉庫が大型の場合には、作業者に過大な労力負担を負わすことなく、迅速且つ効率良く出庫できるという効果を奏する。補助運搬装置を人力にて移動させる構成にすれば、停電時にも対応させることができる。
【0021】
そして、請求項2に記載の発明は、請求項1に記載の自動倉庫において、前記補助運搬装置は搬送ローラとしたものであるから、請求項1に記載の発明による効果に加えて、回転コロの設置数は多くなるが、上下寸法を小さくでき、且つ軽い人力で荷物を移送できるという効果を奏する。
【0022】
他方、請求項3に記載の発明は、請求項1に記載の自動倉庫において、前記補助運搬装置は、前記歩行廊を挟んで配置され、且つ、前記移送通路に沿って長手の無端帯としたものであるから、請求項1に記載の発明による効果に加えて、無端帯が平坦的であるため、運ぶべき荷物の上下ガタツキが少なくできるという効果を奏する。
【0023】
さらに、請求項4に記載の発明は、請求項1乃至請求項3に記載の自動倉庫において、前記補助運搬装置が、前記歩行廊の幅方向に適宜間隔にて3列以上配置されているものである。この構成により、運ぶべき荷物の長さ(移送通路の幅方向の長さ)に応じて、適宜2列〜3列以上の補助運搬装置の部分を選択的に使用して、出庫作業が迅速にできるという効果を奏する。
