Angle-shaped container guides for engaging the four corners are provided in groups of four along the vertical direction, and the container is arranged between them to prevent the container from falling.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, since the container guides that form a set of four are arranged according to the size of the container,
Only containers of a certain standard determined by the interval of the container guide can be stored, for example, containers of different lengths cannot be stored.

The present invention effectively solves the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a storage facility capable of storing a container of an arbitrary length and surely preventing the occurrence of a collapse due to an earthquake or the like.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the storage facility of the present invention, one side portion of a container that is stacked along the height direction of the frame is engaged with the side surface of the frame that is erected at the container storage position. A container guide to be placed in a state is provided along the up-down direction, and a clamping device for fixing the container to the container guide in a pressed state is provided at a position near both sides of the container guide. A hook that can be locked to the end of the corner fitting on the one side, and a drive mechanism that is supported by the frame and moves the hook in a direction of moving toward and away from the container guide. Characterize.

[Operation] When a container is stored in the storage facility of the present invention, one side of the container is engaged with the container guide, and the container guide is used to hang the container, and a plurality of containers are hung along the container guide. This can be done by stacking containers. Then, when the drive mechanism is operated, the hook is locked to the corner fitting in the container,
The container is pulled toward the container guide through the corner fitting and is restrained in the pulled state.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the storage facility of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 show an embodiment, and this storage equipment has an overall structure as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG.
A frame 1 is constructed so as to surround the container storage space, an overhead crane 2 is mounted on the frame 1, and a plurality of container guides 3 are vertically arranged on both inner side surfaces along the longitudinal direction of the frame 1. It is fixed along the direction.

The frame body 1 is composed of a plurality of columns 4 and beams 5 and the like that connect the columns 4, and rails 6 are provided along the both sides of the frame body 1 at the uppermost part thereof. The overhead crane 2 is mounted so as to straddle. The overhead crane 2 includes a girder 7 that reciprocates while being suspended between the cranes 6, and a spreader 8 for holding a container.
A trolley 9 for suspending the is provided so as to be capable of reciprocating in the length direction of the girder 7. A container delivery port 10 is formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the frame body 1 by opening the lower portion of the frame body 1 so that the chassis 11 can be placed in the container delivery port 10. Has become.

On the other hand, the container guide 3 is made of an angle member as shown in FIG. 1, and is spaced slightly larger than both corners so as to engage two corners on one side of the container 12, respectively. The pairs are arranged in parallel with each other. In this case, the two inner side surfaces of the frame body 1 have a mutual space that allows two containers 12 to be arranged in series in the longitudinal direction, and therefore, the container guides 3 forming each pair are arranged in series. The two corners on the outer sides of the two containers 12 arranged side by side are engaged with each other.

Further, a slight gap is provided between adjacent pairs of the container guides 3, and a clamp device 15 is provided so as to be arranged between them. The clamp device 15
Is provided with a plurality of support brackets 16 in a state of being bridged between the container guides 3 at intervals in the up-down direction (for example, three places of upper part, central part, and lower part).
A pair of levers 18 are supported horizontally by a vertical shaft 17 so as to be horizontally rotatable.
A hook 19 made of a plate material is vertically fixed so as to integrally connect each of the 18 in the vertical direction, and a drive mechanism 20 for swinging each lever 18 is provided on the uppermost lever 18. Has been done. Then, the drive mechanism 20 causes the lever 18 to swing so that the tips of both hooks 19 approach the frame body 1, so that the hooks 19 are attached to the corner fittings of the container 12.
The container 12 is locked to the end of the container 21 to draw the container 12 to the container guide 3, and the container 12 is restrained in the drawn state. By rocking the container 12
It is designed to release the restraint state against.

In the drive mechanism 20, a horizontal transmission shaft 22 for horizontally connecting the levers 18 to each other is attached to the uppermost lever 18 provided between the container guides 3 via a pin 23. One end of an arm 25, which is horizontally swingable around a support shaft 24, is coupled to the end of the transmission shaft 22 by a pin 26, and the other end of the arm 25 is connected to the tip of a reciprocating rod 28 of a cylinder 27 by a pin. It is configured to be connected by 29. It should be noted that both transmission shafts 22 have a plurality of bearings 30 at intermediate positions in the longitudinal direction.
It is supported by the frame body 1. And the drive mechanism
A control device that controls the drive based on the measurement results of the seismograph and anemometer is connected to 20 (both not shown), and the drive mechanism 20 is driven when the seismic intensity and wind speed exceed the set values. It is like this.

When the container 12 is stored in the storage facility configured as described above, after the container 12 is transferred to the container delivery port 10 by the chassis 11, the container 12 is lifted by the overhead crane 2 from above and the trolley 9 is transferred horizontally. The container guide 3 is moved as necessary to dispose the container 12 directly above the intended container storage position, and one side of the container 12 is engaged with the container guide 3 at the container storage position. This can be done by hanging the container 12 while guiding the corner by. When taking out the stored container 12, it is performed in the reverse order of storage.

Then, when an earthquake or a strong wind occurs, the drive mechanism 20 of the clamp device 15 is actuated by the control device based on the measurement result of the seismograph or the anemometer, the lever 18 is swung via both transmission shafts 22, and the tip of the Hook 19 for container 12 corner fitting 21
Is locked, and the container 12 is pulled to the container guide 3 via the corner metal fitting 21 and is restrained in the pulled state.
In this case, the hooks 19 are simultaneously locked to the corner fittings 21 of the stacked containers 12 as shown in FIG.
These containers 12 can be bound together.

In this embodiment, the clamp device is used when an earthquake etc. occurs.
Although 15 is used, the storage container 12 may be kept in a restrained state by being used even during normal storage. In this way, the container 12 can be restrained as necessary, so
It is not necessary to engage all four corners of the container guide 3 with each other, but to engage the other side of the container 12, that is, the side located at the central position of the container storage space surrounded by the frame 1. The container guide is no longer needed.

On the other hand, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 show another embodiment of the present invention. In the storage equipment of this embodiment, the container guide 3 is provided on the outer surface of the frame 1 as well. The clamp device 15 is arranged between the two members 3 as in the case of the inner surface of the frame 1. In the overhead crane 2, the girder 7 is projected to the outer side of the frame 1 in order to transfer the container 12 to the outer side of the frame 1, and the gate-shaped legs 31 that can pass through the container 12 are provided. have.

Therefore, in this embodiment, if the container 12 can be stored outside the frame 1 and the width of the container 12 is the same, a standard size (for example, a length of 20 feet, 40
Containers longer than 10 feet can also be stored.

In the illustrated example, the container guide is made of an angle member, and the two corners of the container are engaged with each other separately, but the pair of angle members may be integrated.

[Effects of the Invention] As is apparent from the above description, the container storage facility of the present invention has the following effects.

(I) Since the container can be hung while being guided by the container guide that engages one side of the container, the container can be placed at an accurate position and the container can be restrained by the clamp device as necessary. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent a fall when an earthquake or a strong wind occurs.

(Ii) Since a container guide for engaging the other side portion of the container is unnecessary, it is possible to store various containers regardless of their lengths if the width dimension is constant.
