Since multiple dies with different specifications are exchanged to support a wide variety of press working,
Although a plurality of dies are used in the original press working device, usually only one set of dies can be attached to the press working device, and other dies must be stored separately. As described above, the molds are quite heavy and need to be replaced as appropriate, so they cannot be stored far away from the press processing equipment.Conventionally, the molds are arranged on the floor, It was lifted and conveyed by a hoisting and conveying device, carried into a press working device, and after use, was lifted and carried out again, and was conveyed and mounted to its original location.

のために搬入、搬出作業が慎重になって、作業効率の低
下を招いていた。As described above, the storage location of the die of the press working device is practically the floor of the factory where the press working device is installed. This factory requires a press machine and the use of an overhead crane, which makes the space considerably large.However, since only the floor can be used to store dies, the press work As the number of types increased, the number of molds also increased, and there was a problem that the factory became too small. In addition, dies that use the floor as a storage location are not uncommonly dangerous because they are transported into and out of the press processing device along the floor where workers may come and go, as a route. The work has been cautious, leading to a reduction in work efficiency.

した。[0004] Although it is a large factory in terms of space, it is too wasteful to actually use only the floor surface.
In recent years, for relatively light luggage packed with cardboard or the like, a device that effectively uses a space called a fork-type three-dimensional warehouse has been found. Therefore, a storage device with a shelf structure was developed to make the storage of the mold three-dimensional, and a configuration of the storage device that can easily and safely carry in and carry out the heavy metal mold will be examined. I decided that.

Enables storage of three-dimensional goods. Articles placed and stored on the lower shelf except for the uppermost shelf can only be taken in and out from the front, rear, left, and right sides if they are closed by the shelf immediately above (the upper stage of the specific lower stage). However, the more the article is heavy, the more difficult it is to get in and out of the horizontal direction from front to back and left and right.
Operational danger is also increased. The present invention, the upper shelf of the lower shelf that is blocked by the shelf immediately above, that is, by making the upper shelf a movable trolley, even the articles placed on the lower shelf, the upper trolley The article is allowed to be moved in from above by opening the upper direction by running and securing communication between the article and the hoisting and conveying device. For this reason, in the article storage device of the present invention, articles can be taken in and out from above the storage shelf by using a hoisting transport device such as an overhead crane or a hoist and performing the same operation as in the related art.

To achieve. The area that can be called a travel allowance necessary for traveling the cart is also an unnecessary area where articles cannot be placed. In the present invention, in order to minimize the moving allowance, the communication area in the frame structure of each shelf is divided into n equal parts in the rail laying direction.
(n is a natural number of 2 or more) carts are mounted on each of the second and higher shelves so that (n-1) carts can travel.
Since the truck can travel only within the range of each shelf, 1 / n of the communication area is set as an open area for taking in and out of articles,
The articles on each shelf are stored within the unit mounting surface and within the upper limit interval of each stage. From these, a total of n articles are placed on the lowermost shelf because the carriage does not need to be moved, and a total of (n-1) articles are placed on each carriage on the second and higher shelves from the bottom. Then n + (N-1) x (n-1) items

における作業効率が著しく向上する。The bogie may be pushed and pulled by the operator to run. However, if the bogie is driven by self-propelled means using mechanical power of a motor or the like and repulsive suction of magnetism, the burden on the operator is small, and the entire device is driven. Can be easily automated. Although the self-propelled ability may be added to all the bogies, it is not rare that a plurality of bogies run in a row when forming the open area described above. Self-propelled ability may be added, and a bogie-to-cart connection mechanism may be provided for each bogie so that a bogie having no self-propelled ability may be connected to a bogie with self-propelled ability and run. For example, if there are three bogies, the self-propelling ability is added to the middle one if there are four bogies, and one of the inner two if there are four bogies, and a connecting mechanism for all bogies is provided for each bogie. If this is done, all trolleys will be able to run without any practical problems. In addition, when the cart is run in conjunction with the movement of the hoisting and transporting device after adding the self-propelling ability to the cart, the work efficiency in loading / unloading articles is significantly improved.
