Transportation control for selfsupported article and device therefor

[Detailed Description of the Invention]

[Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to the materials management method of the fixed form article (independence article) which can be tiered, and its device. [Description of the Prior Art] The taking-out ON of an industrial commodity, storage, and storage are one of the important items on materials management. About the handling work which cannot be lent to storage of a product and conveyance, a great transformation is carried out to the method raised from the ordinary method to lift, the method which also lifts the managerial system of a factory and a warehouse is taken in, the layout is set up, and it is in use to use a forklift for handling work. The system of the materials management which used the forklift for handling work is the method of installing forming [ specifically a multi stage shelf ] solid storage space in a warehouse, lifting a product with a fork, and carrying out taking-out ON to marked shelving for this.

[Problem(s) to be Solved by the Invention] However, when it raises and is based on the materials management system by a method, the storage space of an article and the run space of a forklift are required in a warehouse. And in order to perform well carrying in of the article to shelving, and taking out, a forklift run space provides a pause in the sequence of the article storage space in a warehouse suitably, and must be formed in all directions in the warehouse. Securing a forklift run space in a warehouse is that article storage space decreases from the first. More problem by forklift use is a point of requiring various operations on the occasion of the taking-out ON of an article. Although a worker operates a forklift, and it will go to the front of the shelf with which the article was stored, an article will be taken on a fork from one of the shelves, it will Lu from the entrance of a warehouse and it will load on a track at the entrance of a warehouse, when taking out and taking out the article which comprises shelving, When requiring up-and-down motion operation of a fork when loading an article to fork -" and discharging and shipping conversely, and running in a warehouse, the straight line run of between the entrance of a warehouse and a shelf cannot necessarily be carried out. This problem does not stop at a time only loss, but serves as big hindrance of automation of materials management. But although it is based on adoption of this system depending on the kind of article which should be dealt with, it is not necessarily advantageous about all the products to use a forklift on materials management. For example, the form is fixed-form-ized, and a paper manufacture roll, the product which acted as Valletta Ries, etc. have large intensity, and are articles which can be tiered. The object of the present invention is to provide the system which attains facilitation of materials management and automation using the load speculation style by the conventional lifting method to handling of the fixed form article in which such tiering is possible. [Means for solving problem] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the materials management method of the independence article by the present invention, it is the materials management method of the independence article which carries out taking-out ON of the fixed form article which can be tiered to the article storing field in a warehouse or a site using an overhead traveling crane, The division of line 1 column direction is set up for every area which storing of each article takes, and the storing field of an article is an overhead traveling crane, It is controlled to stop in the upper position of the above-mentioned division specified arbitrarily, and at least two or more steps are accumulated into the division which had the specific article carried in by the overhead traveling crane specified, and it stores or takes out an article from the specified division. In the materials management device of the independence article by the present invention, It is a materials management device of the independence article which has an overhead traveling crane, an article storing field, and a control device of an overhead traveling crane, and is an overhead traveling crane, It migrates to an article storing field and a taking-out station, is installed in the upper part, and is an article storing field, It is inside of the warehouse in which an article is laid, or a site, the division of line 1 column direction is set to an article installation side for every area which storing of an article takes, and it is a control device of an overhead traveling crane, While controlling operation of an overhead traveling crane, it has a function which specifies one with each arbitrary division set as the article storing field, and controls the stop position of an overhead traveling crane, Storage space required to tier an at least two or more step article above the article installation side in an article storing field and the move space of the crane are secured.

[Example] The example of the present invention is shown below. Drawing 1 shows the layout of the warehouse to which the system of the present invention is applied. In a figure, ■ is a warehouse. As shown in Drawing 2, ranging over the whole region of a floor in warehouse 1, overhead traveling crane 2 is installed in a ceiling of warehouse 1, and overhead traveling crane 2 carries in an article to article storing field 4 above the floor level from entrance 3 of warehouse 1, and takes out an article conversely lifted from article storing field 4 at entrance 3 of warehouse 1. The layout and overhead traveling crane 2 of composition which consists of crane girder 6 which runs rail 5 top, club 7 overrun along with crane girder 6, and Hanging bracket 8 carried out under Hanging from club 7 are the same as that of the conventional thing. However, in the present invention, robots suitable for automation of operation grasping an article are used for Hanging bracket 8. Although it is required on the field 4 to secure move space Q2 of a crane in storage space R1 of an article and also its upper part since at least two or more step tiering is carried out to article storing field 4 and the fixed form article which should be stored is stored in it in the present invention, This is not a unique thing when using an overhead traveling crane for - boat fishing, when an article is accumulated on multi stage, means that the height of only that is needed for A room of a warehouse, and is in it. Article storing field 4 divides the running direction (for whereabouts) of crane girder 6, and the running direction (column direction) of club 7 for every interval required for article installation, and is set as the whole region by a whereabouts-oriented position (1, 2, ..., M) and the position (1, 2, ..., N) of a column direction.

[-- 1, 11, [1, 2], [2, 11 * [2, 2], and ... [M and Nl are formed. Although overhead traveling crane 2 has a run of crane girder 6 and club 7, and up-and-down motion of Hanging bracket 8 operated by control device 9, Control device 9 is provided with the function to open and close the function and Hanging bracket 8 which are stopped right above division [m which controlled the stop position of overhead traveling crane 2, and specified Hanging bracket 8 arbitrarily further, and n, and to support or open an article, in the present invention. These control is operated by a help or computer instructions. In an example, the example which stores and carries the fixed form article which can be tiered is shown. Drawing 1 is an example which has already stored fixed form article P in each division of article storage field 4, and article P is tiered by two or more steps as shown in Drawing 2 in each division. When it is going to take out article P stored in arbitrary division [m and nl, control device 9 is treated and a crane is ordered shift of a up to [ division [m and nl ]. Overhead traveling crane 2 shifts article storage field 4 top in response to the instructions, and Hanging bracket 8 suspends it on division [m and nl. Subsequently, drop Hanging bracket 8 to storage space Ql, make article P of the highest rung of a division [m+n] catch, raise this to crane move space Q2, shift to entrance 3 of warehouse l which is a taking-out station as it is, entrance 3 of warehouse 1 is made to stand by, and it comes out, and discharges and ships on a certain track 10. In storing of an article, reverse operation may completely be performed. That is, it can carry in in division [m which specified article P stacked on track 10, and nl, and can accumulate on the required number of stages one by one, and also can store in two or more divisions. In the present invention, it distinguishes clearly comparatively [ destination ] and the kind [ of article ] and time exception of shipment stores in each division, for example. Division that the thing of division [1 and +1 to [m and nl within the limits is a part for what [ month / what ] and the addressing dispatch to X can be performed by this. If computer operation is possible for a control device and the data of the contents of processing for every division is inputted, It is possible to select only the article in the division which was defined by data processing in shipment, and to take it out automatically, and, of course, it is also possible to specify the division which should store the article loaded into the track, to concentrate in the appointed division, and to store in multi stage. Effect] of [invention When based on the present invention as mentioned above, ordinary lifting type Delivery machine can be utilized and materials management of the fixed form article which can be tiered can be performed easily, Especially by computer processing, it is a system which can automate materials management and can simplify the trouble of management of the conveyance and storage sharply about a specific product. Since it is what performs taking-out ON of an article using the upper part space of an article storage field when based on the present invention, It is not necessary to secure the run space of Delivery machine like [ in the case of raising and using Equation loading machine ], and since it is what moreover stores an article in multi stage throughout an article storage field, the limited space can be used to the utmost. Of course, the present invention is applicable, even if it is a site not only without the inside of a warehouse but a Communicating room.
