Abstract

PURPOSE:To make loading so sure and storage efficiency so better, by installing a mounting body which is formed by plural bar bodies set up in parallel and rotatively moved as passing through a clearance of a carry-in conveyor. CONSTITUTION:A storage article A is carried up to a loading position by a carry-in conveyor 5 and once rested and held. Each mounting body 4 has been rotated around, uplifting the article A so as to scoop it from downside. When the mounting body 4 shifts from a rotating part to a rectilinear shifting part, a clearance between mounting bodies 4 becomes smaller, coming to almost accord with height of the article A in consequence. When loading of the article A is over, the mounting body 4 goes up as far as one step and simultaneously loading to the next mounting body 4 takes place. When the article A going up as being supported by the mounting body 4 reaches an upper end rotating part, it turns upside down and comes to be supported by the mounting body in the previous position, and under this state, these mounting bodies goes down in consecutive order.

用いる昇降式貯留装置に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] This invention relates to a lifting and lowering system for use in warehouses, etc., where various articles, especially bags and packages of granular and powdery substances such as grains, are temporarily stored during transportation. This invention relates to a type storage device.

させる方式である。The present inventor has already proposed a storage device in which a large number of storage shelves are attached to a chain disposed in a circular manner in the vertical direction, and the storage shelves are moved up and down by circulating the chain. (Japanese Patent Application No. 6O-97078) In this device, articles to be stored are loaded onto the loading shelves by disposing a carry-in conveyor adjacent to one loading shelf in a horizontally stationary position, and transporting the articles by the conveyor. This method uses a pushing device to push the incoming articles from the side and move them onto the shelf.

面しか用いることができず、貯留効率が悪い。However, since the above-mentioned storage device uses a pushing device to load the articles onto the shelf, a separate pushing device is required and there is no way for the articles to be stored to be easily moved from the conveyor to the shelf. Therefore, structural consideration must be given to each part. In addition, since the device uses only the upper surface of the storage shelf, only one side of the chains arranged in a circular manner above and below can be used, resulting in poor storage efficiency.

The mounting body is formed by a plurality of rod-shaped bodies arranged in parallel, and the mounting body is connected to the loading conveyor at the lower end turning section. The reason is that it is designed to rotate and move through the gap.

It performs a circular movement called a downward movement. The mounting body moves upward through the gap of the carry-in conveyor at the lower end revolving portion, and lifts up the stored articles on the carry-in conveyor as if scooping them up. The stored article lifted in this way moves upward while being supported by the mounting body, and reaches the revolving portion at the upper end. At this upper end turning portion, the stored article is turned inside out and is supported by the mounting body at the front position. Then, it descends in this state, and at the lower end turning section, the stored articles are transferred from the mounting body onto the carry-out conveyor.

(2) and (3) are rotary drive bodies such as sprockets, which are installed in both upper and lower positions so as to be rotatable at fixed positions. It is hung face down. A rotary drive device such as a motor is attached to one of the chairs (2) and (3), usually the upper rotary drive body (3), so that a rotational driving force is applied. When the rotary drive body (3) is rotated in this manner, the movable support body (1) circulates accordingly. In addition, the lower rotational drive body (2)
The diameter of the movable support (1) is small, so that the movable support (1) rapidly pivots with a large curvature when passing the lower end.

由である。Mounting bodies (4) are attached to the movable support (1) at approximately equal intervals. The mounting body (4) is attached by a method in which a plurality of round rods are arranged substantially in parallel and the base ends thereof are fixed to the movable support (1). That is, parallel round bars are attached to the movable support (1) in a cantilevered manner. In addition, in order to prevent the mounting body (4) from tilting when the stored items are placed on the mounting body (4), the structure of the base end attachment part of the mounting body (4) may be strengthened or moved. The positional stability of the support (1) is provided with structural safeguards by suitable means, such as the use of naene guides. (5) is the carry-in conveyor, which is made of a cantilevered roller conveyor. In other words, this roller conveyor has a large number of parallel rollers supported in a cantilevered manner, and each roller can rotate at a fixed position. Therefore, in this roller conveyor, since there is a gap between the rollers as shown in Fig. 3, it is possible for the mounting body (4) to pass through this gap, and it is possible to transfer the goods at this time. It is. (6) is an unloading conveyor, and the type of conveyor is free.

可能である。On the other hand, the movable support body (1) is moved intermittently, and when the goods arrive at the loading position, it is stationary, and the loading body (4) is in a state of rest when the goods arrive at the loading position. It is located in a place where it will not become a nuisance. Still rotating drive body (2)
Since the diameter of the holder is small, the adjacent mounting body (4
) is large, and a sufficient gap is created between the mounting bodies (4). This gap is then used to transport the goods to the loading position. In this way, after the inside of the article has arrived at the loading position, the loading body (4
) moves around and scoops up the inside of the item from below and lifts it up. When the mounting bodies (4) move from the turning section to the linear transition section, the gap between the mounting bodies (4) becomes small and almost matches the height of the storage component 4. In addition, if the storage article (N) is flexible such as a bagged package, the inside of the article may not be on the placement body (4) because the placement body (4) is made of a round bar. When placed, the round bar bites into the bottom surface of the article.Therefore, wasted space corresponding to the thickness of the mounting body (4) is eliminated, and the installation interval of the mounting body (4) can be adjusted. It is also possible to make the storage area as narrow as possible to increase the storage efficiency.

) When the stored articles (N) reach the upper end turning section, they are turned upside down and are now supported by the loading body in the front position, and in this state they descend one by one.Then, the most advanced loading The articles can be loaded until they reach the lower end turning section.When the moving support (1 inch) is further moved, the stored articles slide off the inclined mounting body (4) and are transferred onto the unloading conveyor (6). .Therefore, only the required number can be taken out when required.

Since the stored articles are scooped up from the carry-in conveyor and loaded onto the mounting body, the articles can be easily and reliably loaded without using a separate device. In addition, at the upper end revolving section, the article is turned upside down and the article is supported on the mounting body in the front position.Since both sides of the circulation path of the movable support can be used, the amount of storage can be doubled. Efficiency can be increased. Furthermore, in the present invention, since the stored articles are transferred from the mounting body to the carry-out conveyor at the lower end turning section on the descending side, there is no need to use a separate device.
Carrying out work can be done easily.
