[0032] [First Implementation Method]

[0033] [Overview of the worship facilities]

[0034] Figure 1 It is a longitudinal sectional view of the worship device 10, and is Figure 7 A cross-sectional view at line II.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, the worship facility 10 includes a storage room 100 and a worship room 300. The floor 301 of the worship room 300 is located above the storage room 100, separating the storage room 100 from the worship room 300. The floor 301 is an example of a worship floor.

[0036] Storage room 100 is equipped with multiple storage racks 110 (110-1 to 110-4). Each storage rack 110 has multiple storage areas 111. Item 1 is stored in each storage area 111. The position of item 1 in storage area 111 is the storage position Ps. It should be noted that, for simplicity, storage areas 111 are represented by simple quadrilaterals in each figure.

[0037] Within the worship room 300, multiple tombstones 310 are placed on the floor 301. These tombstones include tombstone 310-1 for worshippers to approach in the X1 direction and tombstone 310-2 for worshippers to approach in the X2 direction. Both the X1 and X2 directions are approximately horizontal, and they are opposite to each other. The X1 direction is the X direction, and the X2 direction is the opposite of the X direction. The X1 direction is an example of the first direction, and the X2 direction is an example of the opposite of the first direction.

[0038] Additionally, the worship facility 10 includes a transport device 200. A control device (not shown) selects the item 1 corresponding to the worshipper from a plurality of items 1 stored in a storage rack 110 during the worship. The control device then controls the transport device 200 to move the selected item 1 to the tombstone 310 where the worshipper is worshipping. When the worship ends, the control device returns the item 1 from the tombstone 310 to the storage rack 110. Furthermore, the control device manages the allocation of the item 1 to multiple storage areas 111.

[0039] [thing]

[0040] Figure 2 This is a perspective view of item 1. Item 1 is, for example, a container for holding urns containing ashes, personal belongings, memorial tablets, etc. (none of which are shown). One side of item 1 is a recording face 1a, which records the family name and individual's name. Figure 2 In this example, a recording surface 1a is provided at one end of the article 1 along its length, i.e., the front end Df. Here, the direction in which the recording surface 1a faces is defined as the front end Df of the article 1. It should be noted that the article 1 has a cover (not shown) that can be opened and closed.

[0041] [Tombstones and worship areas]

[0042] like Figure 1As shown, each tombstone 310 has an upper cavity S for the receiving and transporting device 200 inside. Additionally, a window 310a is provided on the side wall of the tombstone 310. A window member 310b made of a transparent material such as glass is fitted into the window 310a. The transporting device 200 positions the item 1 in the worship position Pw within the cavity S of the tombstone 310 with the recording surface 1a facing the window 310a, or in other words, with the window 310a positioned in front of the item 1 (Df). It should be noted that the window 310a can be configured to open and close. In this case, the worshipper can open the window 310a and remove the item 1 from the tombstone 310 through its opening, and open the cover of the item 1 (not shown) to replace, add, or clean the contained item.

[0043] Figure 3 This is a top view of floor 301. (As shown) Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple worship areas B are provided on the floor 301. The multiple worship areas B include worship area B1, which is equipped with tombstone 310-1, and worship area B2, which is equipped with tombstone 310-2. Worship area B1 is an example of a first worship area, and worship area B2 is an example of a second worship area.

[0044] On floor 301, worship areas B1 and B2 are arranged in a manner that at least partially overlaps in the Y direction; in other words, when viewed in the Y direction, worship areas B1 and B2 are arranged in a manner that at least partially overlaps. Here, assuming, for example, that worship areas B1 and B2 are arranged back-to-back in the X direction and are arranged in a manner that does not overlap at all when viewed in the Y direction, the width of the arrangement area of ​​worship areas B1 and B2 in the X direction would become wider. Regarding this, in this embodiment, worship areas B1 and B2 are arranged in a manner that at least partially overlaps in the Y direction, thus allowing the width W1 to be set narrower, and enabling more efficient arrangement of multiple worship areas B on floor 301. The Y direction is an example of a second direction.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, on the floor 301, tombstones 310-1 and 310-2 are arranged in a manner that at least partially overlaps in the Y direction. In other words, when viewed in the Y direction, tombstones 310-1 and 310-2 are arranged in a manner that at least partially overlaps in the Y direction. Therefore, compared to the case where, for example, tombstones 310-1 and 310-2 are arranged back-to-back in the X direction and do not overlap at all when viewed in the Y direction, the width W2 in the X direction of the arrangement area of ​​tombstones 310-1 and 310-2 can be set narrower. Tombstone 310-1 may also be referred to as the first tombstone, and tombstone 310-2 may also be referred to as the second tombstone.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the worship areas B1 and B2 are arranged alternately in the Y direction. This provides advantages such as making it easier to uniformize the width and spacing of the worship areas B1 and B2 in the Y direction.

[0047] Figure 4 This is a side view when observing multiple worship areas B in the opposite direction to the X direction. For example... Figure 3 , 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a partition 320 is provided to separate multiple worship areas B. The partition 320 has a wall 320a that separates worship areas B1 and worship areas B2 in the X direction, and a wall 320b that separates the multiple worship areas B1 or the multiple worship areas B2 in the Y direction.

[0048] Here, as Figure 4 As shown, the partition 320 is positioned on the floor 301 so as not to reach the ceiling (not shown) located above the floor 301. Therefore, for example, worshippers can experience a sense of openness, and with the worship room 300 located above ground level and equipped with glass windows (not shown), they can enjoy advantages such as the worship room 300 becoming brighter or worshippers being able to enjoy the surrounding scenery. It should be noted that in... Figure 4 In the example, the height of the partition 320 is set to be lower than the height of the tombstone 310, but it is not limited to this. The height of the partition 320 can also be higher than the height of the tombstone 310.

[0049] [Storage racks and handling equipment]

[0050] Figure 5 yes Figure 1 VV sectional view, Figure 6 This is a side view of the storage rack 110 and the stacking crane 210. Figure 7 It is a longitudinal sectional view of the worship device 10, and is Figure 1 A sectional view at line VII-VII.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, a transport path T is provided within the storage room 100 to serve as a space for the stacker crane 210 to move item 1, i.e., to transport item 1. The transport path T includes multiple transport paths T1 and T2. Each transport path T has a substantially constant width in the X direction and extends in the Y direction and also in the Z direction. That is, the transport path T extends in both the Y and Z directions; in other words, the transport path T intersects and extends in the X direction. The stacker crane 210 is used to transport item 1 within the transport path T, and the stacker crane 210 constitutes part of the transport device 200.

[0052] like Figure 1 , 5 As shown, storage racks 110 are provided on both sides of each transport path T in the X direction. Multiple storage racks 110-1 to 110-4 are provided in the storage room 100. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, as an example, the number of storage racks 110 is four, but the number of storage racks 110 is not limited to four.

[0053] Depend on Figures 5-7 It can be seen that the storage rack 110 has multiple storage areas 111 arranged along the transport path T. Additionally, as... Figure 7 As shown, multiple storage areas 111 are arranged in a matrix in each storage rack 110, with rows in the Y direction and columns in the Z direction. In other words, in each storage rack 110, multiple storage areas 111 are arranged along the Y direction and also along the Z direction.

[0054] Each storage area 111 can store one item 1. That is, there is only one storage location Ps for item 1 in storage area 111. However, it is not limited to this. For example, multiple storage locations Ps can be set in each storage area 111, such as two storage locations.

[0055] In addition, in this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the storage area 111 of storage racks 110-1 and 110-2 faces the transport path T1, and the storage area 111 of storage racks 110-3 and 110-4 faces the transport path T2.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as an example, the item 1 stored in storage racks 110-1 and 110-2 is transported by the transport device 200 to the worship position Pw within the tombstone 310-1 in the worship area B1, and the item 1 stored in storage racks 110-3 and 110-4 is transported by the transport device 200 to the worship position Pw within the tombstone 310-2 in the worship area B2. That is, in this embodiment, storage racks 110 are allocated to each worship area B1 and B2. Specifically, storage racks 110-1 and 110-2 are allocated to worship area B1, and storage racks 110-3 and 110-4 are allocated to worship area B2. And, corresponding to this allocation, as... Figure 5 As shown, in storage racks 110-1 and 110-2, item 1 is stored with its front (Df) facing the X2 direction. In storage racks 110-3 and 110-4, item 1 is stored with its front (Df) facing the X1 direction. Furthermore, as mentioned above, the worship direction of worshippers in worship area B1 is the X1 direction. Correspondingly, at the worship position Pw in worship area B1, item 1 is positioned with its front (Df) facing the opposite direction of the X1 direction, i.e., the X2 direction. On the other hand, the worship direction of worshippers in worship area B2 is the X2 direction. Correspondingly, at the worship position Pw in worship area B2, item 1 is positioned with its front (Df) facing the opposite direction of the X2 direction, i.e., the X1 direction. Therefore, by configuring item 1 in the storage racks 110-1 and 110-2 corresponding to the worship area B1 with the front Df facing the X2 direction, the orientation of item 1 does not need to change between the storage position Ps and the worship position Pw. Furthermore, by configuring item 1 in the storage racks 110-3 and 110-4 corresponding to the worship area B2 with the front Df facing the X1 direction, the orientation of item 1 does not need to change between the storage position Ps and the worship position Pw. Therefore, through the allocation of storage racks 110-1 to 110-4 corresponding to the worship areas B1 and B2 as described above, and the setting of the orientation of item 1 in each storage rack 110-1 to 110-4, a flipping mechanism that requires changing the orientation of item 1 is unnecessary. This provides advantages such as simplifying the structure of the worship equipment 10 or reducing manufacturing costs.

[0057] Stacking crane

[0058] The pilgrimage equipment 10 has one stacker crane 210 for each transport route T. However, it is not limited to this, and there may be more than two stacker cranes 210 for each transport route T.

[0059] like Figure 6As shown, the stacker crane 210 includes a traveling body 211, a mast 212, a platform 213, and a transfer device 214. A guide rail 215 extending in the Y direction is provided at least one of the lower and upper parts of the transport path T. The stacker crane 210 is capable of moving along the guide rail 215 in the Y direction.

[0060] The traveling body 211 is supported on the guide rail 215 in a manner that allows it to move in the Y direction. Two masts 212 are fixed to the traveling body 211 (see reference). Figure 5 The two masts 212 are separated from each other in the Y direction and extend in the Z direction. The traveling body 211 and the masts 212 are able to move in the Y direction along the guide rail 215 in accordance with the rotation of the motor (not shown), which is the drive source for the movement of the traveling body 211 and the masts 212 in the Y direction, and are able to stop at multiple positions in the Y direction in accordance with the stopping of the motor.

[0061] The platform 213 is supported on two masts 212 in a manner that allows it to move in the Z direction. The platform 213 is mounted between the two masts 212. The platform 213 can move along the masts 212 in the Z direction in response to the rotation of a motor (not shown) that serves as the drive source for the movement of the platform 213 in the Z direction, and can stop at multiple positions in the Z direction in response to the stopping of the motor.

[0062] The transfer device 214 is mounted on the platform 213 in a telescopic manner in the X direction. The transfer device 214 has a support portion 214a that supports the article 1. Corresponding to the telescopic movement of the transfer device 214 in the X direction, the position of the support portion 214a and the article 1 supported on it changes in the X direction. The telescopic state of the transfer device 214 changes in response to the rotation of a motor (not shown). That is, the support portion 214a can move in the X direction in response to the rotation of the motor, and can stop at multiple positions in the X direction in response to the stopping of the motor.

[0063] In the retracted state (storage state) of the transfer device 214, the support 214a and the item 1 are located within the transport path T. By controlling the motors driving the traveling body 211 and mast 212 in the retracted state, and controlling the motor driving the platform 213, the item 1 can move to the opposing position Pf within the transport path T facing each storage area 111 and stop. Each opposing position Pf is also a support position Ph1 within the transport path T where the item 1 is supported by the support 214a.

[0064] The movement of article 1 between support 214a (opposing position Pf, support position Ph1) and each storage area 111 (storage position Ps) can be achieved by a combination of the movement of support 214a in the X direction and the movement of at least a part of transfer device 214 in a direction intersecting the X direction.

[0065] As an example, the handling of item 1 will be described in the following case: the transfer device 214 is a known sliding fork having multiple components that can slide relative to each other in the X direction, the support 214a is the front end component of the sliding fork, and the transfer device 214 is configured to not interfere with each storage area 111 and to be able to move in the Z direction. In this case, by utilizing the combination of the movement of the support 214a in the X direction caused by the extension and retraction of the transfer device 214 and the movement of the support 214a in the Z direction accompanying the movement of the platform 213 in the Z direction, item 1 can be transferred between the support 214a and each storage area 111. The transfer device 214 can extend and retract relative to the transport path T in the X1 and X2 directions, and can extend relative to the storage areas 111 of both storage racks 110-1 and 110-2 to a length corresponding to the storage position Ps of item 1 in the storage area 111. When an item 1 is moved from storage area 111 to the opposite position Pf, the support portion 214a, which is not supporting the item 1, first moves slightly below the item 1 stored at storage position Ps in storage area 111, corresponding to the extension of the transfer device 214 in the X direction. Next, the support portion 214a moves slightly upward along with the movement of the platform 213 in the Z direction (upward), and receives the item 1 from storage area 111. Next, the support portion 214a moves along the X direction into the transport path T along with the retraction of the transfer device 214 in the X direction, and moves the item 1 to the opposite position Pf. On the other hand, when an item 1 is moved from the opposite position Pf into storage area 111, the support portion 214a, which supports the item 1, first moves slightly above the predetermined storage position of the item 1 in the empty storage area 111, corresponding to the extension of the transfer device 214 in the X direction. Next, the support 214a moves slightly below the storage area 111 as the platform 213 moves in the opposite direction (downward) of the Z direction, delivering (placing) the item 1 into the storage area 111. Next, the support 214a moves along the X direction into the transport path T as the transfer device 214 retracts in the X direction. The transfer device 214 is capable of transporting the item 1 between its support position Phl (opposite position Pf) within the transport path T and the storage area 111 facing the transport path T, i.e., the storage area 111 facing the X1 direction relative to the transport path and the storage area 111 facing the X2 direction relative to the transport path.

[0066] It should be noted that the mechanism for moving the item 1 between the opposing position Pf and each storage area 111 is not limited to a sliding fork. For example, if the storage area 111 and the platform 213 have a free roller conveyor that assists in the movement of the item 1 in the X direction, the item 1 can be moved on the free roller conveyor by extending and retracting the transfer device 214. In this case, at least a portion of the transfer device 214, i.e., the connecting part, can be moved in a direction intersecting the X direction, such as the Z direction, thereby switching between a connected state where the connecting part is connected to the item 1 and a separated state where the connecting part is separated from the item 1. In the connected state, the transfer device 214 can move the item 1; in the separated state, the transfer device 214 cannot move the item 1.

[0067] The stacker crane 210 is capable of transporting item 1 between the storage area 111 and the intermediate position Pr on the transport path T where the stacker crane 210 is located. The intermediate position Pr is the intermediate position for item 1 between the stacker crane 210 and the elevator 220. The stacker crane 210 can also transfer item 1 between the support position Ph1 and the intermediate position Pr in the same way as the transfer between the support position Ph1 and the storage position Ps. The stacker crane 210 constitutes part of the transport device 200 and is an example of the first transport device.

[0068] [lift]

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, the worship equipment 10 has a lift 220 for each worship area B and the tombstone 310. However, it is not limited to this. The lift 220 can also be set to correspond to multiple worship areas B, or multiple lifts 220 can be set to correspond to each worship area B.

[0070] Elevator 220 respectively in Figure 1 , 7 The item 1 is transported between the relay position Pr and the worship position Pw shown. Multiple relay positions Pr are provided in the worship equipment 10, each corresponding to a lift 220. The lifts 220 form part of the transport device 200 and are an example of a second transport device.

[0071] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an intermediate floor 101 is provided inside the storage room 100, positioned below the floor 301. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the intermediate floor 101 is located above the storage racks 110-2 and 110-3 and is suspended from the floor 301 by a plurality of supports 102. However, the support structure of the intermediate floor 101 is not limited to such a structure, and it may also be supported by the floor, walls, storage racks 110, etc. of the storage room 100 via support members not shown.

[0072] The elevator 220 is mounted on the intermediate floor 101. In other words, the intermediate floor 101 supports the elevator 220. A through hole 301a is provided in the floor 301 for the elevator 220 to pass through. The upper part of the elevator 220 is located on the floor 301. In addition, the intermediate floor 101 also supports the workers who inspect or repair the elevator 220. A hatch (not shown) is provided in the floor 301 for workers to move between the worship room 300 and the intermediate floor 101.

[0073] The elevator 220 includes multiple elevators 220-1 and 220-2.

[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, elevators 220-1 are installed corresponding to worship area B1, and elevators 220-2 are installed corresponding to worship area B2. Additionally, as... Figure 1 As shown, the relay position Pr corresponding to elevator 220-1 faces the transport path T1, and the relay position Pr corresponding to elevator 220-2 faces the transport path T2.

[0075] like Figure 1 , 7 As shown, the elevator 220 has a mast 221, a platform 222, and a lateral moving device 223.

[0076] The platform 222 is supported on a mast 221 in a manner that allows it to move in the Z direction. The platform 222 can move along the mast 221 in the Z direction in response to the rotation of a motor (not shown) that serves as the drive source for the movement of the platform 222 in the Z direction, and can stop at multiple positions in the Z direction in response to the stopping of the motor.

[0077] The upper part of the mast 221 is located inside the cavity S of the tombstone 310. The platform 222 and the items 1 supported on the platform 222 can move along the mast 221 in the Z direction and pass through the through hole 301a provided in the floor 301, thereby being able to move back and forth between the storage room 100 located below the floor 301 and the cavity S of the tombstone 310 located above the floor 301.

[0078] A lateral moving device 223 is mounted on the platform 222. The lateral moving device 223 is, for example, a chain conveyor. The lateral moving device 223 has a support portion 223a that supports the article 1. In the case where the lateral moving device 223 is a chain conveyor, the support portion 223a is a chain. Through the operation of the lateral moving device 223, the position of the article 1 supported on the support portion 223a changes in the X direction. The position of the article 1 changes accordingly with the rotation of a motor (not shown). That is, the article 1 can move in the X direction in response to the rotation of the motor, and can stop at multiple positions in the X direction in response to the stopping of the motor. It should be noted that the lateral moving device 223 is not limited to a chain conveyor; for example, it could be other structures such as a telescopic fork.

[0079] The lateral movement device 223 operates in the following state: the platform 222 is located within the cavity S of the tombstone 310, and the item 1 supported by the support 223a faces the window 310a provided on the tombstone 310 in the X direction. The lateral movement device 223 can operate at a support position Ph2 (refer to...) away from the window 310a. Figure 7 Move item 1 between the support position Ph2 near window 310a, i.e., the worship position Pw.

[0080] The support position Ph2 of the article 1 supported by the support part 223a changes in the Z direction as the platform 222 moves along the mast 221 in the Z direction. For example... Figure 1 , 7 As shown, the relay position Pr can be set, for example, at the lowest point of the movement range of the support position Ph2. However, the relay position Pr is not limited to this; it can be any position within the Z-direction movement range of the support position Ph2, facing the transport path T within the storage chamber 100, and capable of transferring the item 1 between it and the support position Ph1 of the stacking crane 210. Alternatively, the relay position Pr can be set offset from the support position Ph2 in the X-direction. In this case, a transport device such as a conveyor for transporting the item 1 between the relay position Pr and the support position Ph2 can be installed.

[0081] Figure 8 This is a top view of storage room 100. (Example) Figure 8 As shown, mast 221 is positioned at a point where it will not become a relay position Pr and the support position Ph1 of stacker crane 210 (opposite position Pf, see reference). Figure 6 The obstacle to the transfer of item 1 between the relay position Pr and the support position Ph1 is arranged at a position offset from the movement trajectory of item 1 in the X direction. In this embodiment, as an example, a mast 221 that cantilever supports the platform 222 is located on the side opposite to the transport path T relative to the platform 222.

[0082] Here, as shown in this embodiment, when the relay position Pr corresponding to the elevator 220 faces the transport path T, the position of the elevator 220 and even the relay position Pr are determined based on the position of the tombstone 310. Therefore, the width W2 in the X direction of the arrangement area of ​​tombstones 310-1 and 310-2 is narrowed (refer to...). Figure 1 , 3 The more this is achieved, the narrower the width W3 in the X direction of the configuration area of ​​multiple relay positions Pr can be (refer to...). Figure 1 , 8 Furthermore, the narrower the width W2, the narrower the width W1 in the X direction of the configuration area of ​​worship area B1 and worship area B2 can be (see...). Figure 3 Here, the relay position Pr faces the transport path T, such as... Figure 1 As shown, when viewed in the Y direction, the relay position Pr and the storage positions Ps of storage racks 110-2 and 110-3 are arranged in the Z direction. Therefore, the width W3 is also the width in the X direction of the arrangement area of ​​storage racks 110-2 and 110-3. Therefore, as shown in this embodiment, in the structure in which the relay position Pr is arranged in a corresponding relationship with the elevator 220 and the relay position Pr and the storage position Ps face the transport path T, by arranging the worship area B1 and worship area B2 in a manner that at least partially overlaps in the Y direction, the width W1 can be further narrowed, the width W2 can be further narrowed, and even the width W3 in the X direction of storage racks 110-2 and 110-3 can be further narrowed, and thus the width in the X direction of the storage room 100 can also be further narrowed.

[0083] As explained above, in the worship device 10 of this embodiment, the worship area B1 (first worship area) and the worship area B2 (second worship area) are arranged on the floor 301 (worship floor) in such a way that they at least partially overlap in the Y direction (second direction).

[0084] Based on this structure, for example, the width W1 in the X direction of the configuration area of ​​worship area B1 and worship area B2 can be set narrower. As a result, advantages such as being able to make the floor 301 and even the worship equipment 10 more compact, or to configure the worship area B more efficiently in a limited space, can be obtained.

[0085] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, worship areas B1 and B2 can be arranged alternately along the Y direction.

[0086] Based on such a structure, for example, it is easy to make the spacing and width of the worship areas B1 and B2 in the Y direction more uniform.

[0087] Alternatively, as shown in this embodiment, the shrine visit device 10 may include a stacking crane 210 for transporting items 1 between storage positions Ps in storage area 111 and multiple relay positions Pr, and an elevator 220 for transporting items 1 between each relay position Pr and a shrine visit position Pw.

[0088] Based on such a structure, for example, compared to a structure in which a transport device transports item 1 between storage position Ps and worship position Pw, item 1 can be transported more quickly or more efficiently.

[0089] Alternatively, as shown in this embodiment, the worship equipment 10 may have two transport routes T1 and T2, multiple stacking cranes 210-1 and 210-2 installed on each transport route T1 and T2, and two storage racks 110-2 and 110-3 facing each transport route T1 and T2. The relay position Pr corresponding to the worship area B1 faces the transport route T1, and the relay position Pr corresponding to the worship area B2 faces the transport route T2.

[0090] According to this structure, for example, the width W3 in the X direction of the storage racks 110-2 and 110-3 can be further narrowed. As a result, for example, advantages can be obtained such that the storage room 100 or even the worship equipment 10 can be configured more compactly, or the storage racks 110 can be configured more efficiently in a limited space.

[0091] Alternatively, as shown in this embodiment, the multiple elevators 220 may be located above the two storage racks 110-2 and 110-3.

[0092] With this structure, for example, the space above the storage racks 110-2 and 110-3 can be secured as a location for installing multiple lifts 220. This provides advantages, for example, such as enabling more efficient configuration of the storage racks 110-2 and 110-3 and multiple lifts 220 within the worship equipment 10, or ensuring that the space above the storage racks 110-2 and 110-3 is a location for operators to maintain the multiple lifts 220.

[0093] [Second Implementation]

[0094] Figure 9 This is a top view of the storage room 100 of the worship equipment 10A in this embodiment. Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the handling device 200, in addition to the stacking crane 210 and the elevator 220, also includes a conveyor 230A capable of transporting the item 1 between handling paths T1 and T2. The conveyor 230A is, for example, a chain conveyor, but is not limited thereto. The conveyor 230A is an example of a third handling device.

[0095] The end 230a of conveyor 230A in the X2 direction, or in other words, one end in the length direction, faces the transport path T1, and the end 230b of conveyor 230A in the X1 direction, or in other words, the other end in the length direction, faces the transport path T2. The position of item 1 on end 230a becomes the handover position Pd1 (Pd) of item 1 with stacker crane 210-1, and the position of item 1 on end 230b becomes the handover position Pd2 (Pd) of item 1 with stacker crane 210-2. Stacker crane 210 can also hand over item 1 between support position Ph1 and handover position Pd in ​​the same way as the handover between support position Ph1 and storage position Ps.

[0096] Furthermore, the conveying device 200 has multiple conveyors 230A. Therefore, compared to the case where there is only one conveyor 230A, the conveying device 200 can move the item 1 more quickly or more efficiently between conveying paths T1 and T2. Specifically, for example, it is possible to perform in parallel the movement of item 1 from transfer position Pd1 to transfer position Pd2 by one conveyor 230A, and the movement of item 1 from transfer position Pd2 to transfer position Pd1 by another conveyor 230A.

[0097] Furthermore, conveyors 230A are respectively installed on the intermediate floor 101. In other words, conveyors 230A are located on storage racks 110-2 and 110-3. Thus, for example, the space on storage racks 110-2 and 110-3, i.e., on the intermediate floor 101, where the elevator 220 is installed, can be utilized to configure conveyors 230A more efficiently.

[0098] Furthermore, the conveyor 230A is arranged to be offset from the elevator 220 in the Y direction. Therefore, compared to a configuration where the conveyor 230A and elevator 220 are offset in the Z direction, the height of the space where the conveyor 230A and elevator 220 are arranged in the Z direction can be further reduced, thereby allowing for a further increase in the height of the storage rack 110 located below this space. Additionally, with the intermediate floor 101 provided, both the elevator 220 and conveyor 230A can be arranged on the intermediate floor 101; therefore, for example, it is easier for operators to perform maintenance on the conveyor 230A simultaneously with maintenance on the elevator 220.

[0099] Furthermore, the two ends of the conveyor 230A and the storage rack 110 in the Y direction ( Figure 9The diagram only shows one end 110a) relative to the central position C in the Y direction of the storage rack 110, i.e., near the central position C between the two ends. Thus, for example, compared to the case where the conveyor 230A is arranged near the end in the Y direction of the storage rack 110, the average time required for handling the item 1 by the stacking crane 210 between the storage position Ps and the handover position Pd, and between the relay position Pr and the handover position Pd, can be further shortened.

[0100] Furthermore, the worship device 10A includes a turntable 240A for flipping the posture of item 1. The turntable 240A has a base (not shown) and a worktable (not shown) on the base capable of rotating about a central axis along the Z direction. The turntable 240A can change the posture of item 1 between a posture where its front Df faces the X1 direction and a posture where its front Df faces the X2 direction. Thus, for example, if the worship device 10A has a system (not shown) capable of detecting the posture of item 1, the front Df of item 1 in each storage area 111 can be set to either the X1 or X2 direction. In other words, in each storage area 111, the front Df of item 1 can face either the X1 or X2 direction. This reduces the effort required to store item 1 in the storage area 111. The turntable 240A is an example of a flipping mechanism and can also be called a posture conversion mechanism. It should be noted that the effect of such a turntable 240A can also be achieved in a structure without the conveyor 230A.

[0101] In this embodiment, a turntable 240A is mounted on a stacker crane 210. As an example, the base of the turntable 240A is fixed to a platform 213. Furthermore, a transfer device 214, serving as a support for the item 1, is provided on the worktable of the turntable 240A. When the posture of the item 1 at the storage position Ps differs from that at the worship position Pw, the control device controls the turntable 240A to flip the posture of the item 1 during transport by the stacker crane 210. Based on this structure and control, for example, compared to a structure that performs the transport and flipping of the item 1 at different times, the time required for the movement of the item 1 between the storage position Ps and the intermediate position Pr can be further shortened.

[0102] As explained above, in this embodiment, the worship device 10A includes a conveyor 230A (third transport device) for transporting items 1 between two transport paths T1 and T2. With this structure, for example, the transport device 200 including the conveyor 230A can transport items 1 between storage racks 110-3 and 110-4 and the worship position Pw in worship area B1, and can also transport items 1 between storage racks 110-1 and 110-2 and the worship position Pw in worship area B2. In the absence of the conveyor 230A, and when corresponding storage racks 110-1 to 110-4 are determined for each worship area B1 and B2, the worship area B1 or B2 visited by the worshipper is determined based on the storage racks 110-1 to 110-4 that hold items 1 corresponding to the worshipper. Regarding this point, as shown in this embodiment, in the worship equipment 10A equipped with a conveyor 230A that transports items 1 between two transport paths T1 and T2, worship areas B1 and B2 can be allocated to each worshipper more flexibly without relying on a storage rack 110 that stores items 1 corresponding to the worshipper. Therefore, for example, it is less likely to result in a situation where one of the multiple worship areas B1 and B2 is cluttered while the other is empty, thereby enabling more efficient use of the worship equipment 10A.

[0103] [First Variation]

[0104] Figure 10 This is a top view of the storage compartment 100 of the worship device 10B in the first variation of the second embodiment. In this variation, the worship device 10B also has a turntable 240B with the same structure as the turntable 240A in the above embodiment. However, in this variation, the turntable 240B is mounted on the elevator 220. The base (not shown) of the turntable 240B is fixed to the platform 222. Furthermore, a lateral moving device 223 serving as a support for the item 1 is provided on the worktable (not shown) of the turntable 240B. With this structure, similar to the second embodiment described above, for example, if the worship device 10B has a system capable of detecting the posture of the item 1, the effort required to store the item 1 can be reduced. In addition, according to this variation, the posture of the item 1 can be flipped during the transport of the item 1 by the elevator 220. Therefore, for example, compared to a structure that performs the transport and flipping of the item 1 at different times, the time required for the movement of the item 1 between the relay position Pr and the worship position Pw can be further shortened.

[0105] With this structure, the same effect as the second embodiment described above can be achieved through the conveyor 230A and the turntable 240B.

[0106] [Second variation]

[0107] Figure 11This is a top view of the storage chamber 100 of the worship device 10C in the second variation of the second embodiment. In this variation, the worship device 10C also includes a conveyor 230C capable of transporting the item 1 between transport paths T1 and T2. The conveyor 230C has a track 231 extending in the X direction and a slider 232 capable of sliding back and forth in the X direction on the track 231. The position of the item 1 on the slider 232 at the end 230a in the X2 direction of the track 231 is the transfer position Pd1 (Pd), and the position of the item 1 on the slider 232 at the end 230b in the X1 direction of the track 231 is the transfer position Pd2 (Pd). In this variation, the stacking crane 210 can also transfer the item 1 between the support position Ph1 and the transfer position Pd, and between the support position Ph1 and the storage position Ps.

[0108] In this modified example, the worship device 10C also includes a turntable 240C with the same structure as the turntable 240A in the above embodiment. However, in this modified example, the turntable 240C is mounted on the conveyor 230C. The base (not shown) of the turntable 240C is fixed to the slider 232 of the conveyor 230C. Furthermore, a support portion 232a for supporting the article 1 is provided on the worktable (not shown) of the turntable 240C.

[0109] In this modified example, similar to the first embodiment, storage racks 110-1 and 110-2 may store the item 1 with its front (Df) facing the X2 direction, while storage racks 110-3 and 110-4 may store the item 1 with its front (Df) facing the X1 direction. In this case, the control device controls the turntable 240C to rotate the orientation of all items 1 transported by the conveyor 230C. With this structure, not only can the item 1 stored in storage racks 110-1 and 110-2 be positioned with its front Df facing the window member 310b in the worship position Pw of the worship area B1, but it can also be positioned with its front Df facing the window member 310b in the worship area B2. Furthermore, not only can the item 1 stored in storage racks 110-3 and 110-4 be positioned with its front Df facing the window member 310b in the worship area B2, but it can also be positioned with its front Df facing the window member 310b in the worship area B1. In this case, there is no need to distinguish between items 1 in a flipped posture and items 1 in a non-flipped posture among the items 1 being transported by the conveyor 230C, so a control system for flipping can be implemented with a simpler structure.

[0110] Additionally, similar to the second embodiment, in each storage area 111, the front Df of the item 1 may be oriented towards either the X1 or X2 direction. In this case, as described above, the turntable 240C is configured not only to flip the posture of the item 1 that has been transported by the conveyor 230C from one direction of transport paths T1 and T2 to the other, but also to flip the posture of the item 1 that has not been transported by the conveyor 230C from one direction of transport paths T1 and T2 to the other. Specifically, with the slider 232 located at the ends 230a and 230b of the track 231 and the turntable 240C facing transport path T1 or transport path T2, the turntable 240C flips the posture of the item 1. In this case, for example, if the worship device 10C has a system capable of detecting the posture of the item 1, the time required to store the item 1 can be reduced, similar to the second embodiment.

[0111] With this structure, the same effect as the second embodiment described above can be achieved through the conveyor 230C and the turntable 240C.

[0112] [Third variation]

[0113] Figure 12 This is a top view of the storage room 100 of the worship facility 10D in the third variation of the second embodiment. (See attached image.) Figure 12 As shown, the worship equipment 10D has a turntable 240D on the intermediate floor 101, independent of the stacker crane 210, elevator 220, and conveyor 230A, facing each transport path T1 and T2. The stacker crane 210 can transfer the item 1 between the support position Ph1 and the turntable 240D in the same way as the transfer between the support position Ph1 and the storage position Ps.

[0114] In this modified example, when the posture of item 1 at storage position Ps differs from that at worship position Pw, the control device controls the stacking crane 210 to temporarily move item 1, which has been removed from storage area 111, to turntable 240D. Next, the control device controls the turntable 240D to flip the posture of item 1. Then, the control device controls the stacking crane 210 to remove item 1, now flipped, from the turntable 240D and move it to relay position Pr or handover position Pd. In this case, for example, if the worship device 10C has a system capable of detecting the posture of item 1, the time required to store item 1 can be reduced, similar to the second embodiment.

[0115] Turntable 240D is mounted on intermediate floor 101. In other words, turntable 240D is located on storage racks 110-2 and 110-3. Thus, for example, the space on storage racks 110-2 and 110-3, i.e., on intermediate floor 101, where elevator 220 and conveyor 230A are mounted, can be utilized to configure turntable 240D more efficiently.

[0116] Furthermore, the turntable 240D is offset from the elevator 220 and conveyor 230A in the Y direction. Therefore, compared to the case where the turntable 240D is offset from the elevator 220 and conveyor 230A in the Z direction, the height of the space where the elevator 220, conveyor 230A, and turntable 240D are arranged can be further reduced in the Z direction, thereby further increasing the height of the storage rack 110 located below this space. Additionally, with the intermediate floor 101 provided, the elevator 220, conveyor 230A, and turntable 240D can all be arranged on the intermediate floor 101. Therefore, for example, it is easier for operators to perform maintenance on the turntable 240D simultaneously with maintenance on the elevator 220 and conveyor 230A.

[0117] Furthermore, the two ends of the turntable 240D and the storage rack 110 in the Y direction ( Figure 12 The diagram only shows the position of one end 110a) relative to the central position C in the Y direction. Thus, for example, compared to the case where the turntable 240D is located near the end of the storage rack 110 in the Y direction, the average time required for handling the item 1 by the stacking crane 210 between the storage position Ps and the turntable 240D, and between the relay position Pr and the turntable 240D, can be further shortened.

[0118] With this structure, the same effect as the second embodiment described above can be achieved through the conveyor 230A and the turntable 240D.

[0119] [Third Implementation Method]

[0120] Figure 13 This is a top view of the storage room 100 of the worship facility 10E according to the third embodiment. (See attached image.) Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the relay position Pr corresponding to each elevator 220E also faces one of the transport paths T1 and T2. However, in this embodiment, the transport device 200 includes a conveyor 230E. The conveyor 230E transports the item 1 between the stacker crane 210 and the elevator 220, wherein the stacker crane 210 is located on one of the two transport paths T1 and T2, and the elevator 220 transports the item 1 between the relay position Pr, which faces the other of the two transport paths T1 and T2, and the worship position Pw. The conveyor 230E is an example of a fourth transport device.

[0121] Conveyor 230E, like conveyor 230C in the second variation, has a track 231 extending in the X direction and a slider 232 capable of sliding back and forth in the X direction on the track 231. The position of the item 1 on the slider 232 at the end 230c of the track 231 facing the transport path T is the handover position Pd3 with the stacker crane 210. Similarly, the position of the item 1 on the slider 232 at the end 230d of the track 231 facing the elevator 220 is the handover position Pd4 with the elevator 220. The stacker crane 210 can hand over the item 1 between the support position Ph1 and the handover position Pd3, just as it does between the support position Ph1 and the storage position Ps. Furthermore, the handover of the item 1 between the handover position Pd4 and the elevator 220 is performed by a lateral movement device 232b provided on the slider 232. The lateral movement device 232b is, for example, a chain conveyor. However, the lateral movement device is not limited to a chain conveyor; for example, it can be other structures such as a telescopic fork. Furthermore, the lateral movement device can be installed on the platform 222 of the elevator 220, or on both the platform 222 and the slider 232.

[0122] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the elevator 220E provides double-column support to the platform 222 via masts 221 located on both sides in the Y direction relative to the platform 222. This prevents the masts 221 from becoming obstacles to the transfer of the item 1 between the support position Ph2 (intermediate position Pr) supported by the platform 222 and the support position Ph1 supported by the stacker crane 210, as well as the transfer of the item 1 between the support position Ph2 and the transfer position Pd4.

[0123] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a turntable 240E is provided on the slider 232 of the conveyor 230E.

[0124] In this embodiment, the storage posture of the item 1 in the storage rack 110 can also be set in the same way as in the second embodiment described above.

[0125] With this structure, the same effect as the second embodiment described above can be achieved through the conveyor 230E and the turntable 240E.

[0126] [Fourth variation]

[0127] Figure 14 This is a top view of the multiple worship areas B of the worship device 10F in the fourth variation of the embodiment. (See attached image.) Figure 14As shown, worship areas B1 and B2 can also be configured without alternation. In this case, it is also possible to have areas, rooms, or pillars of worship equipment 10F that are different from worship areas B or worship areas B2. In addition, the width, area, and spacing in the Y direction of worship areas B1 and B2 can be different.

[0128] [Fifth Variation]

[0129] Figure 15 This is a perspective view of article 1G, the fifth variation of the embodiment. (See image below.) Figure 15 As shown, the article 1G may have two separate receiving sections 1b. In this case, the receiving section 1b at the front Df and the receiving section 1b at the rear Db of the article 1G can be assigned to different users. Furthermore, a recording surface 1a corresponding to the receiving section 1b at the front Df end and a recording surface 1a corresponding to the receiving section 1b at the rear Db end are provided. The worship devices 10, 10A-10F of the above embodiment and its variations can also handle such an article 1G.
