物品を切り出すことが可能となる。According to an instruction from the host, the self-propelled mobile cart 9 on which the cutting device is mounted moves to the target under the shelf. Shelf 1
The small articles 2 are stacked in the height direction and housed therein. When receiving the instruction of the quantity to be cut out on the shelf from the host, the cut-out plates 6 to 8 corresponding to the quantity are
Cut out from the lowest level to the small items by the cutting plate. In this example, a geared motor is used as the power source. The rotational force obtained by the geared motor 3 is transmitted to the disk connected to the motor. An interrupting device is installed in the disk, and controls whether or not the rotational force is transmitted to the belt 5 according to an instruction from a host computer or the like. Cutout plates 6 to 8 are fixed to the belt 5, and the plates move when the belt is driven. The small articles cut out by the operation of the plate are transported by the transport facility installed behind the clipping device. When the operated plate makes one revolution and returns to its original position, the interrupting device installed in the disk turns off,
Belts and plates stop moving. Then, if the drive of the geared motor is stopped, one operation is completed. After that, by repeating the same operation, it is possible to cut out an arbitrary number of small articles from an arbitrary shelf.

する。The drive shaft 13 and the inner disk 14 rotate together with the geared motor. In this example, an electromagnetic clutch 15 is installed between the outer disc 16 and the inner disc 14 as an interrupting device. When the cutout plate 6 is operated according to an instruction from a host computer or the like, the electromagnetic clutch is turned on to transmit the driving force to the belt 5. At this time, the outer disk rotates and the rotational force is transmitted to the belt, so that the cutting plate moves. Further, since the other electromagnetic clutches installed on the disk for the cutout plate are off, the cutout plate does not operate. When the cutout plate makes one rotation and returns to the original position, the electromagnetic clutch is turned off and the belt and plate stop.

防止される。In order to prevent the small articles 2 contained in the shelf from falling, a small article receiver 17 as shown in the figure is provided at the bottom of the shelf. When cutting out, there is a possibility that a small number of small articles or more may be cut out at the same time due to friction between the small articles. Specifically, for example, when two small articles are cut out, the small articles above them may be cut out at the same time. Therefore, a plate-shaped plate 18 is installed behind the shelf. This plate can move up and down along the back surface of the shelf, and is controlled so as to stop at the intermediate position of the small article immediately above the target quantity from the lowest order according to the instruction from the host computer. For this reason, when a small article is cut out by the cutout plate, a small quantity of the target quantity or more is prevented from being cut out together because the rear side is blocked by this plate.

なる。The case where one to three small articles are cut out in one operation has been described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. When changing the arbitrary quantity cut out at one time, the length of the cut-out plate may be changed, and by changing the number of plates, a larger quantity can be cut out at one time.
