Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic warehouse apparatus for basket pallets with casters. In particular, the present invention relates to an automatic warehouse device for a basket pallet with casters, which can directly store a basket pallet with casters in a rack and improve work efficiency.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, cargo stored in a basket pallet with casters is transferred to another pallet for an automated warehouse and stored in the automated warehouse, or is stored together with the basket pallet in a dedicated sheet pallet in the automated warehouse. It was supposed to be done. Further, the stacker crane is designed to hold a pallet and a load by inserting a slide fork provided on an elevating table supported by front and rear masts so as to be able to ascend and descend into the lower part of the pallet.

[0003]

According to the conventional method of storing loads described above, the basket pallet with casters cannot be directly stored in the automatic warehouse, and the pallet can be reloaded or the basket pallet can be used exclusively. Had to be placed on the sheet pallet, and the work was complicated.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to store a basket pallet with casters directly in a rack, thereby improving work efficiency, and an automatic warehouse for basket pallets with casters. To provide a device.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, an automatic warehouse for basket pallets with casters according to the present invention comprises:
A fork lifter that is installed in the loading / unloading section of the automated warehouse to support the bottom of the basket pallet with casters and lifts the basket pallet, and a shelf receiver that is provided in the rack of the automated warehouse and supports the bottom of the basket to avoid the casters of the basket And a configuration provided with.

[0006]

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, the following operational effects are obtained.

That is, since the loading / unloading section of the automatic warehouse is provided with a fork lifter for supporting the bottom of the basket pallet with casters and lifting the basket pallet, the loading / unloading section of the automated warehouse is equipped with a predetermined basket pallet. Can be lifted directly to height.

Thus, the fork of the stacker crane can be inserted below the basket pallet, and the basket pallet can be transferred to the stacker crane.

The shelf receiver provided on the rack of the automatic warehouse is
Since the bottom portion is supported while avoiding the casters of the basket pallet, the basket pallet can be directly stored in the rack and the work efficiency can be improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view showing a loading / unloading part and a part of a fork of an automatic warehouse device for a basket pallet with casters according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a schematic front view of the same, and FIG. 3 is an example of an automatic warehouse device. It is a top view shown.

As shown in these drawings, an automatic warehouse device for a basket pallet with casters according to the present embodiment is provided at a leg portion 1 provided on a basket pallet P with casters and at a loading / unloading section N of an automatic warehouse. And a fork lifter L that supports the legs 1 and lifts the basket pallet P, and a shelf support 2 that is provided on the rack R of the automatic warehouse and supports the basket pallet P.
It has and.

The legs 1 are provided at the four corners of the bottom 1a of the basket pallet P. Each leg 1 is a normal basket pallet P
The length is set so that it does not hinder the transportation of.

The fork lifter L includes a mast 3 and a fork 4 that moves up and down along the mast 3. As shown in FIG. 1, the fork 4 is formed in a U shape in plan view, and allows the basket pallet P to enter from the direction of arrow X1 in the drawing. Each leg 1 of the basket pallet P
Are supported by both arm portions 4a and 4b of the fork 4, respectively.

The fork lifter L is adapted to lift the basket pallet P to a height where the fork F of the stacker crane C can be inserted into the lower portion 1a of the basket pallet P. Reference numeral 10 is a guide provided on the entrance side of the fork lifter L into the car pallet P, and each leg 1 of the car pallet P is reliably guided by the guide 10 onto both arm portions 4a, 4b of the fork 4. It has become so.

As shown in FIG. 1, the shelf receivers 2 are formed in a substantially U-shape in a plan view, and are arranged in groups of four on the columns 5 of the rack R. The shelf support 2 supports the four legs 1 at positions avoiding the casters K so as not to hit the casters K of the basket pallet P.

The storage operation of the automatic warehouse device for such a basket pallet with casters is as follows.

(1) The basket pallet P is moved by manpower or the like along the guide 10 of the fork lifter L to place the basket pallet P on the fork 4.

(2) Raise the fork 4. Then,
The legs 1 of the basket pallet P are supported by both arms 4a and 4b of the fork 4, and the basket pallet P is lifted as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG.

(3) As shown by the dotted line in FIG. 2, the fork F of the stacker crane C is advanced below the basket pallet P and the fork F is raised. As a result, the basket pallet P is transferred from the fork lifter L onto the fork F of the stacker crane C. The fork F returns to the lift of the stacker crane C, and the basket pallet P is transferred onto the lift.

(4) The stacker crane C travels on the rails and stops, the lifting platform rises to a predetermined rack R, the fork F extends and the basket pallet P is stored in the predetermined rack R.

The goods are stored as described above. In addition,
Since the leaving operation is the reverse of the entering operation, its description is omitted.

According to the above-described automatic warehouse device for basket pallets with casters of this embodiment, the leg portion 1 is provided at the bottom of the basket pallet P, and the basket pallet is provided at the loading / unloading section N of the automatic warehouse. Since the fork lifter L that supports the leg 1 of the P and lifts the basket pallet P is provided, the basket pallet P can be directly lifted to a predetermined height in the loading / unloading section N of the automatic warehouse. Can be transferred to the stacker crane C.

Shelf receiver 2 provided on rack R of the automated warehouse
Since the legs 1 are supported while avoiding the casters K of the car pallet P, the car pallet P can be stored in the rack R directly and in a stable state.

Therefore, unlike the conventional case, it is not necessary to carry out a burdensome transshipment or loading on a sheet pallet, and the working efficiency can be improved.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be appropriately made within the scope of the present invention.
