That is, in the rack using a free conveyor as described in Publication of Utility Model Publication No. 61-3845, the line brushing from the following items is not applied to the items at the forefront, but a stopper is used to take out the following items. Since an egress/egress device is required, a huge amount of cost is required when shelves are arranged in multiple rows and stages.

Furthermore, in the shelf using a free conveyor described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-140905, there was a problem in that the items at the forefront were subjected to line crushing from the following items, causing the items at the front to be crushed. In other words, if the item is a cardboard box with the top cut off,
When the items stored in the cardboard box are picked one by one or several items at a time and the number of items stored in the cardboard box decreases, the cardboard box cannot withstand the line crushing and collapses, causing damage to the stored items. was.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to create a shelf using a free conveyor, which does not apply line pressure from subsequent articles to the foremost article, and allows subsequent articles to be taken out easily without the need for special equipment. It is about providing.

[Means for solving problems]

In the present invention, the article support stand is constructed by a free conveyor that slopes forward and downward, and the article support stand and the article reception stand are arranged on the shelf at the front end of the article support stand. A stopper is provided between the table and the load receiving surface of the article receiving table is disposed below the load receiving surface of the article supporting table and has a step with respect to the load receiving surface. The above object is achieved by providing a shelf for use with a free conveyor, characterized in that it is provided with an insertion hole into which an article take-out tool used for taking out an article from the article support stand to the article receiving stand is inserted. This has been achieved.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a shelf using a free conveyor according to the present invention shown in the drawings will be described.

Figures 1 and 2 schematically show an embodiment of the present invention.
The main body of the rack is a so-called fluidized shelf having a plurality of stages and rows of openings on the front side, and roughly, for each opening, there is an article support stand 2 constituted by a free conveyor that slopes downward in the front. At the same time, an article receiving stand 3 is disposed at the front end of the article supporting stand 2. In the case of the embodiment, the free conveyor serving as the article support stand 2 at each frontage is
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, it is composed of a pair of roller conveyors, and the article receiving tables 3 are arranged laterally in succession along the frontage of a plurality of rows, as shown in FIG. , a plurality of stages are provided in the vertical direction corresponding to the frontage of each stage.

In the shelf 1 using a free conveyor according to the present invention, as shown in detail in FIGS. 3, 4, and 7, there is a In addition to providing a stopper 4, the load receiving surface 5 of the article receiving table 3 is connected to the article supporting table 2.
The load receiving surface 6 is disposed below the load receiving surface 6 and has a step with respect to the load receiving surface 6. Further, the stopper 4 is provided with an insertion hole 10 into which an article retrieval tool 9 used for taking out an article from the article support base 2 to the article receiving base 3 is inserted.

To explain the embodiment in more detail, the stopper 4, like the article receiving stand 3, is continuous in the horizontal direction along the frontage of a plurality of rows, and is provided in multiple stages in the vertical direction corresponding to the frontage of each stage. There is. Each stopper 4 is composed of an article placement section 7 whose rear end is inclined downward, and an article receiving section 8 that stands integrally at the front end of the article placement section 7. However, by making the length of the article placement section 7 in the article conveyance direction shorter for the upper stopper 4 and longer for the lower stopper 4, it is possible to reduce the length of the article support table 2 even though it is manufactured to a constant length. Regardless, the article receiving tables 3 can be shifted so that the lower the article receiving tables 3 are, the more they protrude forward. When the article receiving stands 3 are disposed in a shifted manner in this manner, there is an advantage that pinking of articles becomes easier. Further, the stoppers 4 of each stage are provided with insertion holes 10 from the front, into which article retrieval tools 9 (see FIGS. 5 to 7) are inserted, corresponding to the openings of the plurality of rows, respectively.

In addition, the article receiving table 3 is arranged so as to be inclined forward and downward in order to facilitate the taking out of articles, and is surrounded by a frame so that its article receiving surface 6
It has a structure that prevents items taken out from the top from sliding down. The article receiving stand 3 is supported by an adjuster star bolt 11 so that its inclination angle can be adjusted using a support shaft 12 as a fulcrum. Further, the lower article receiving table 3 is provided with an auxiliary adjuster bolt 11'.

In addition, FIGS. 5 and 6 show the article support stand 2.
This figure shows an article retrieval tool 9 for taking out an article from the article receiving table 3, and this article retrieval tool 9 has a flat article scooping part 14 connected to the tip of a pipe 13 whose rear part is curved upward. , a fulcrum portion 15 is configured to protrude downward at the boundary between the pipe 13 and the article scooping portion 14, and the article scooping portion 14 is formed so as to be inserted into the insertion hole 10 of the stopper 4. be.

In addition, the reference numeral 20 in the figure is an article such as a cardboard box in which an article (commodity) is stored and whose top surface is cut off.

Next, a manner of taking out articles from the shelf using the free conveyor of the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration will be explained.

On the article support stand 2 of the shelf 1 using a free conveyor, the plurality of articles 20 stored in the warehouse are placed so that the frontmost article 20 is placed on the stopper 4. In the state where they are brought into contact with each other, they are packed forward as shown in the article support stand 2 on the right side of FIG. In this state, the frontmost article 20 is subjected to line blows from the following articles 20, but the articles stored therein are not removed here. Therefore, the article 20 will not be crushed and the articles stored therein will not be damaged. Note that on the article support stand 2 in the center of FIG. 7, the articles 20 are being supplied from the rear of the shelf and are being packed in the front.

Picking of the articles stored inside the articles 20 is performed by taking out the foremost article 20 onto the article receiving table 3. To take out the article 20 to the article receiving table 3, as shown in FIG.
This is done using the insertion hole 10 provided in the stopper 4. This article retrieval tool 9 is shown in FIGS. 5 to 7.
The shape shown in the figure is preferable, and when this article takeout tool 9 is used, the article 20 can be taken out in the following manner. That is, the article scooping section 14
into the insertion hole 10 of the stopper 4, and
By using the pipe 13 as a fulcrum, pushing down the pipe 13 allows the article scooping section 14 to scoop up the front part of the article 20 at the front, which has come into contact with the stopper 4 and is stopped. from the top of the product support base 2 to the product receiving base 3.
The top can be easily taken out. In addition, since the load receiving surface 6 of the article receiving stand 3 is disposed below the load receiving surface 5 of the article supporting stand 2 and having a step with respect to the load receiving surface, the fulcrum portion 15 is placed on the article receiving stand 3. When placed on the receiving surface 6 of the article, the article scooping section 14
can be relatively parallel to the bottom of the article 20, so that
The bottom corner of the front end of the article 20 is not damaged by the article scooping part 14.

When the foremost article 20 is taken out onto the article receiving table 3, the leading article 20 of the following articles 20 is stopped by the stopper 4, so that the foremost article 20 is taken out onto the article receiving table 3.
0 is separated from the following article 20. Therefore,
Since line bracing is not applied to the articles taken out onto the article receiving table 3, the articles stored therein are picked one or several at a time, and the articles stored inside the frontmost article 20 are picked. Even if the number of items decreases, the item 20 at the front will not be crushed or the items stored therein will not be damaged.

[Effect of idea]

Since the shelf using a free conveyor according to the present invention is constructed as described above, the frontmost item is not subjected to line brushing from subsequent items, and subsequent items can be easily taken out without the need for special equipment. It has tremendous practical effects.
