Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a main body mounting portion for mounting and supporting an article and a locked portion of the article for moving the article in a horizontal or substantially horizontal direction. The present invention relates to an article transfer device including a mounting section and a locking tool that transfers the article between an outer mounting section on the outer side of the mounting section.

ていた。2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional article transfer device described above, for example, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-23441, a support body for supporting the locking device is movable along the article transfer direction. In addition to being supported, a locking tool is supported so as to move integrally with the support along the article transfer direction, and the locking tool is such that the support is positioned at the end of the lateral movement stroke. In this state, the locking action portion is provided in a long shape so as to project outward toward the outer placement portion.

部上に移載させるようになっていた。In this article transfer device, for example,
When the articles are transferred from the outer mounting section to the main body mounting section, the transfer is performed in the following order. That is, the support is moved laterally from the standby state in which the locking tool is retracted to the main body mounting portion side, and the locking action portion is the locked portion of the article mounted on the outer mounting portion. After the locking tool is projected and locked to the locked portion until it is positioned on the lower side of the, the support is laterally moved in that state and the article is transferred onto the main body mounting portion. It was like this.

要があるが、上述したように、係止具は物品移載方向に
長尺状に設けられるので、本体載置部の移載方向に沿う
幅は、物品の移載方向に沿う幅よりも係止具の長さ分だ
け大きく設定させる必要があり、それだけ、外形が大型
化してしまうといった不利があった。However, in the above-mentioned conventional structure, at the time when the transfer operation of the article to the main body placing portion by the locking tool is completed, the locking tool does not collide with an external object. In order to avoid it, it is necessary to stop at a position that does not project laterally outward, but as described above, the locking tool is provided in a long shape in the article transfer direction, so in the transfer direction of the main body mounting part. It is necessary to set the width to be larger than the width along the transfer direction of the articles by the length of the locking tool, which is disadvantageous in that the outer shape becomes larger accordingly.
【０００５】そこで、このような不利を解消する方法と

のが考えられた。Therefore, as a method for eliminating such a disadvantage, for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 6-224530 filed by the present applicant.
As shown in No. 6, the locking tool retreats downward in the middle of its movement during the transfer operation of the article to the main body mounting section by the locking tool, and thereafter, by the driving force of the belt conveyor. It is considered that the article is configured to be transferred to the set mounting position.
【０００６】このような改良構成においては、本体載置

らを駆動制御する制御構成も複雑になる不利があった。In such an improved structure, the width of the main body mounting portion along the transfer direction can be set to be substantially the same as the width of the article, but there are still the following disadvantages.
In other words, after moving the locking tool once during movement,
Since the configuration is such that the movement operation by the belt conveyor is executed again, the operation of the locking tool and the operation of the belt conveyor are performed.
It becomes a stepwise operation, and there is a disadvantage that a waiting time for switching the operating state is required and a long time is required for the transfer operation, and a lateral movement drive means for moving the locking tool in the article transfer direction. In addition, there is a disadvantage in that a raising and lowering drive means for raising and lowering the locking tool is required, a plurality of drive means are required, and a control configuration for driving and controlling them is complicated.

In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide an article transfer device that can be housed in a compact shape.

る（図５（ロ）参照）。Next, the operation of the article transfer device 7 will be described. The respective support members 41, the locking members 42, and the like have almost the same operation except that the moving operation directions are set to be opposite to each other. Therefore, a description will be given of a case where the transfer operation is performed on the right storage unit 1. To do. First, in the standby state, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (a), the support 41 and the endless rotating chain 3
The connection point with 3a (33b) is located at one end of the upper linear path portion on the side opposite to the storage section 1 for loading and unloading the container C, and the locking tool 42 is positioned at the transfer locking position. Is set to. When carrying the container C from the right side storage part 1 onto the mounting part 29, the endless rotation chain 33a (33b) is rotated by driving the electric motor M3,
The entire movement operation part is in the opposite direction (right side) from the transfer locking position
To move along the upper straight path. And
In the vicinity of the end of the straight path, the operated portion 47 abuts the unloading fixed abutment portion 46a, the auxiliary endless chain 45 rotates relative to the lateral movement of the support body 41, and the locking tool 42.
Moves laterally more than the lateral movement amount of the support body 41, and when the locking tool 42 reaches the transfer projection position (second projection position P 2 ), the rotation of the endless rotation chain 33a (33b) is stopped. (See FIG. 5B).
