Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a logistics warehouse. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, with an increase in the amount of goods being transported, large logistics warehouses have come into use, which are equipped with racks arranged in the interior space of a building and stacker cranes for loading and unloading cargo onto and from the racks. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration including a stacker crane that moves along an aisle, and a rack group in which a plurality of racks stacked one above the other are arranged in a straight line along the aisle. Patent document 2 also discloses a configuration that includes a group of racks (shelves) having multiple storage sections along an aisle (travel path) and in the vertical direction, and a stacker crane (self-propelled vehicle) that moves along the aisle and transfers stored items. In the configurations disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, a stacker crane travels autonomously along an aisle and loads and unloads cargo onto and from racks at pre-specified positions in a group of racks.

[0003] In the above-mentioned logistics warehouse, it is necessary to handle the luggage transported by a transport vehicle such as a truck in a predetermined position in the rack group, and to load the luggage stored in the rack group onto a transport vehicle according to the shipping destination. For this reason, in addition to a warehouse section for storing luggage, a logistics warehouse may be provided with a handling section for handling luggage stored in the warehouse section. For example, Patent Document 3 discloses a configuration including a rack warehouse consisting of a rack frame forming a plurality of luggage shelves, and a building arranged adjacent to the rack warehouse and in which luggage is loaded and unloaded between the rack warehouse. The above-mentioned logistics warehouse provided with a warehouse section and a handling section can be realized by using the rack warehouse as the warehouse section and the building as the handling section in the configuration of Patent Document 3, for example.

[0004] In such a logistics warehouse equipped with a warehouse section and a goods handling section, the width of the racks provided in the warehouse section and the width of the aisle along which the stacker crane runs are determined so as to maximize the number of packages that can be stored in the warehouse section, and the column span of the warehouse section may be determined based on this. In addition, the column span of the goods handling section is often placed at a position that matches the column span of the warehouse section, to avoid interference between the columns and the transport equipment that moves pallets, etc. It is desirable to set the pillar span of the goods handling area taking into consideration the ease of use, such as the fitment of the transport and storage equipment to be installed in the goods handling area, and the number of trucks that can be accommodated simultaneously in one span. However, as mentioned above, if the pillar span of the goods handling area is set to the same span as that of the warehouse area, the freedom of design of the goods handling area is narrowed, and the pillar span is not appropriate for providing truck parking space, etc., which can impair the ease of use of the goods handling area. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-35875 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 8-333006 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 7-101516 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a logistics warehouse that can increase the design freedom of the material handling section and realize a material handling section that is easy to use. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following means. The inventors focused on the fact that, in a logistics warehouse where the warehouse section and cargo handling section are constructed adjacent to each other, by not installing outer peripheral columns on the outer edge of the cargo handling section adjacent to the warehouse section, it is possible to install transportation equipment, storage equipment, truck loading space, etc. in the cargo handling section without being affected by the column span division of the warehouse section, thereby realizing a logistics warehouse with a user-friendly cargo handling section, and arrived at the present invention. In other words, the logistics warehouse of the present invention comprises a warehouse section in which a group of racks and a stacker crane are installed, and a cargo handling section which handles the loading and unloading of cargo to be stored in the warehouse section, and the warehouse section and the cargo handling section are constructed adjacent to each other as different structures, and the cargo handling section has an outermost pillar provided in a portion offset inward from the outer edge adjacent to the warehouse section, and a cargo transport area for receiving and transferring the cargo between the warehouse section and the cargo handling section is provided in the offset portion. According to this configuration, the warehouse section and the goods handling section are constructed adjacent to each other as different structures. In addition, in the goods handling section, the outermost pillars on the warehouse section side are provided in a portion offset from the outer edge portion adjacent to the warehouse section toward the inside of the goods handling section. In this way, by making the warehouse section and the goods handling section different structures and not providing the outermost pillars on the outer edge portion of the goods handling section adjacent to the warehouse section, the span of the pillars can be set in the goods handling section without being affected by the span of the pillars in the warehouse section. As described above, the outermost pillars of the goods handling section on the warehouse section side are provided in the part offset inward, so the outermost pillars provided in the part of the warehouse section that contacts the goods handling section and the outermost pillars provided in the offset part of the goods handling section are provided at a distance from each other in the direction in which the warehouse section and the goods handling section are adjacent to each other. Therefore, even if the pillar spans of the warehouse section and the goods handling section are different, the concentration of many pillars at the boundary between the warehouse section and the goods handling section is suppressed. Therefore, the design freedom of the goods handling section can be increased, and a logistics warehouse equipped with a goods handling section that is easy to use can be realized. In particular, the luggage transport area where luggage is delivered between the warehouse and the goods handling section is located in the offset area as described above, which reduces interference between the pillars and the equipment installed in the luggage transport area and ensures flexibility in the installation of the luggage transport area. Furthermore, in the warehouse area, racks and stacker cranes can be efficiently arranged without being affected by the material handling area. In this way, it is possible to provide a logistics warehouse that can increase the design freedom of the goods handling section and realize a user-friendly goods handling section.

[0008] In one aspect of the present invention, the floor slabs of the second floor and above of the cargo handling area are cantilever slabs that protrude from the outermost columns toward the warehouse area at the outer edge adjacent to the warehouse area and are supported by the outermost columns. With this configuration, the logistics warehouse described above can be properly realized.

[0009] In one aspect of the present invention, the warehouse section is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed in a plane, the group of racks and the aisle along which the stacker crane travels are arranged along the long side of the warehouse section, and the handling section is provided at the end side in the long side direction and is connected to the end by an expansion joint. According to this configuration, the rack group and the passage along which the stacker crane travels are installed along the long side of the warehouse section, and the goods handling section is connected to the warehouse section at the end side in the long side direction, so that one end of the passage for the rack group and the stacker crane is installed adjacent to the goods handling section. As a result, when storing luggage from the goods handling section into the rack group, the stacker crane transports the luggage received from the goods handling section at one end of the passage toward the other end side of the passage and stores it in a predetermined position in the rack group. Also, when removing luggage from the rack group, the stacker crane transports the luggage removed from the predetermined position of the rack group toward one end side of the passage and hands it over to the goods handling section. In this way, luggage can be moved efficiently between the warehouse section and the goods handling section. In addition, the warehouse and the cargo handling section have different building weights, so the seismic loads acting on them are different when an earthquake occurs. As a result, the warehouse and the cargo handling section behave differently during an earthquake, and move relative to each other. Here, the warehouse and the cargo handling section are connected by an expansion joint, so this relative movement is absorbed by the expansion joint. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a logistics warehouse that increases the design freedom of the material handling section and realizes a material handling section that is easy to use. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0012] In the present invention, in a logistics warehouse in which a storage section and a goods handling section are constructed adjacent to each other, there are no outer peripheral pillars on the outer edge of the goods handling section adjacent to the storage section, and a baggage transport area is provided. The outer peripheral pillars of the goods handling section are provided on the inside side of the goods handling section. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a logistics warehouse according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. A cross-sectional view of the configuration of a logistics warehouse according to an embodiment of the present invention, as viewed from the direction along the short side of the warehouse, is shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 2 is a floor plan of the first floor of the logistics warehouse in Fig. 1. 1 and 2, the logistics warehouse 1 includes a warehouse section 2 and a handling section 3 that handles cargo to be stored in the warehouse section 2. The warehouse section 2 includes a warehouse building 20, a group of racks 25 provided in the warehouse building 20, and a stacker crane 27. The warehouse building 20 is provided on a foundation 4 constructed on the ground G. The warehouse building 20 includes a plurality of warehouse columns 21, a warehouse beam 22, a warehouse roof 23, and a warehouse outer wall 24. In this embodiment, the warehouse building 20 is formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view with a first direction Da in a horizontal plane as a long side direction Da, and a second direction Db perpendicular to the first direction Da in the horizontal plane as a short side direction Db. The plurality of warehouse columns 21 are arranged, for example, on the outer periphery of the warehouse building 20 in a plan view. The plurality of warehouse columns 21 are arranged at ends 20a and 20b on both sides of the first direction Da, with an interval in the second direction Db. The plurality of warehouse columns 21 are arranged at ends 20c and 20d on both sides of the second direction Db of the warehouse building 20, with an interval in the first direction Da. Each warehouse column 21 extends upward from the foundation 4.

[0013] The storage section beam 22 is installed between the upper ends of the multiple storage section columns 21. The storage section beam 22 includes a first direction beam 22a extending in a first direction Da and connecting the multiple storage section columns 21 arranged at both ends 20a, 20b in the first direction Da, and a second direction beam (not shown) connecting the upper ends of the multiple storage section columns 21 arranged in a second direction Db. The warehouse roof 23 is provided so as to cover the upper part of the warehouse building 20. The warehouse roof 23 is supported on the warehouse beams 22. The warehouse outer wall 24 is provided at one end 20a of the warehouse building 20 in the first direction Da so as to cover the outer periphery of the warehouse building 20, except for a portion J of the material handling section 3 that communicates with the interior of a material handling section building 30 described later.

[0014] The rack group 25 has rack shelves 26 extending in a first direction Da within the warehouse building 20. The rack shelves 26 are arranged in multiple rows at intervals in the second direction Db. Each rack shelf 26 has multiple shelves 26s capable of storing luggage. In each rack shelf 26, the multiple shelves 26s are arranged in multiple rows in the vertical direction and the first direction Da. The stacker crane 27 is configured to be self-traveling along an aisle 28 formed on the floor surface of the warehouse building 20. The aisles 28 are provided in a plurality of rows spaced apart in the second direction Db. The aisles 28 are disposed between adjacent rack shelves 26 in the second direction Db. Each aisle 28 extends in the first direction Da. The stacker crane 27 is configured, for example, by providing a fork device 27a between two masts 27b so that the fork device 27a can rise and fall. A rail 27c is provided in the passage 28 so as to extend in the first direction Da, and the stacker crane 27 travels on the rail 27c. Stoppers 27d are provided on both ends of the rail 27c. Stacker crane 27 travels by itself along rails 27c on aisle 28, stops at an appropriate position, and loads and unloads cargo onto and from shelves 26s of rack shelves 26 on both sides of aisle 28. In this embodiment, cargo to be stored on shelves 26s is placed on a pallet. Stacker crane 27 transports cargo together with the pallet, and loads and unloads the cargo onto and from shelves 26s. In this way, the rack group 25 and the passage 28 along which the stacker crane 27 travels are arranged along the long side direction (first direction) Da of the warehouse building 20 of the warehouse section 2. Here, the detailed configuration of the rack group 25 and stacker crane 27 is not limited in any way, and any appropriate configuration can be adopted.

[0015] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the configuration of a material handling section of a logistics warehouse, as viewed from a direction along the short side of the warehouse section. As shown in FIG. 3, the goods handling section 3 includes a goods handling section building 30. The goods handling section building 30 is constructed adjacent to the warehouse section 2 in the first direction Da. The goods handling section building 30 is constructed as a structure different from the warehouse section 2. The goods handling section building 30 is structurally separated from the warehouse section building 20. The goods handling section building 30 is disposed adjacent to the side surface 20s of the warehouse section building 20 (warehouse section 2) at an end portion 20a on one side of the warehouse section building 20 in the first direction (long side direction of the warehouse section 2) Da. In other words, the first direction Da is the direction in which the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3 are adjacent to each other. The goods handling section building 30 is provided on a foundation 4 constructed on the ground G. In this embodiment, the material handling building 30 is, for example, two stories tall, and includes a ground floor F1 and a second floor F2. The material handling building 30 may be three stories tall or taller. As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the material handling building 30 is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view that is short in the first direction Da and long in the second direction Db. In this embodiment, the material handling building 30 is larger in dimension in the second direction Db than the warehouse building 20, and is formed to protrude in the second direction Db. The material handling building 30 may be equivalent in dimension in the second direction Db to the warehouse building 20.

[0016] The material handling section building 30 comprises a plurality of columns 31, beams 32, a roof 33, an exterior wall 34, and a floor slab 35. The plurality of columns 31 extend upward from the foundation 4. The beams 32 comprise an intermediate beam 32a disposed at the top of the first floor section F1 above ground, and an upper beam 32b disposed at the top of the second floor section F2 above ground. The beams 32 (intermediate beam 32a, upper beam 32b) are erected between adjacent columns 31 in each of the first direction Da and the second direction Db. The floor slab 35 forms the floor of the second floor F2. The floor slab 35 is supported on an intermediate beam 32a arranged on the upper part of the first floor F1. The roof 33 is provided so as to cover the upper part of the goods handling building 30. The roof 33 is supported on an upper beam 32b arranged on the upper part of the second floor F2. The exterior wall 34 is provided at the end of the goods handling building 30 on the warehouse 2 side in the first direction Da so as to cover the outer periphery of the goods handling building 30, except for the part J where the goods handling building 30 is connected to the warehouse building 20. The exterior wall 34 is provided on the first floor F1 at the end of the goods handling building 30 opposite the warehouse 2 in the first direction Da, with an opening 30k serving as an entrance and exit for trucks transporting goods. The opening 30k can be closed by a shutter or the like when not in use.

[0017] In such a material handling section building 30 of the material handling section 3, an outer edge 30f of the end portion on the warehouse section 2 side in the first direction Da is connected to a side surface 20s of an end portion 20a of the warehouse section building 20 of the warehouse section 2 via an expansion joint 5. The expansion joint 5 connects the warehouse section building 20 and the material handling section building 30 at the boundary portion between the side surface 20s of the warehouse section building 20 and the outer edge 30f of the material handling section building 30, while allowing relative displacement between the warehouse section building 20 and the material handling section building 30 in the event of an earthquake. The natural period of the warehouse section 2 is different from that of the goods handling section 3. In the warehouse section 2 equipped with a plurality of rack shelves 26, for example, when a relatively low rack shelf 26 is provided on hard ground G, resonance is likely to occur at a short period. In contrast, when a relatively high rack shelf 26 is provided on soft ground G, resonance is likely to occur at a long period. In this way, in the warehouse section 2, the natural period can take various values ​​depending on the design, depending on the hardness of the ground G and the height of the rack shelf 26. In contrast, it is not realistic to design the goods handling section 3 to match the natural period of the warehouse section 2 one by one. For this reason, the warehouse section building 20 and the goods handling section building 30 are structurally separated and connected by an expansion joint 5, thereby suppressing interference between the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3 during an earthquake.

[0018] Fig. 4 is a plan view showing the configuration of the first floor of the goods handling section. Fig. 5 is a plan view showing the configuration of the second floor of the goods handling section. 4 and 5, the goods handling section 3 is provided with various goods handling equipment for handling goods in a goods handling section building 30. The goods handling section 3 is provided with, for example, a conveying facility 40, an inbound / outbound conveyor 41, and the like as the goods handling equipment. In this embodiment, the first floor F1 above ground is set as an inbound / outbound space for receiving and shipping luggage, and the second floor F2 above ground is set as a sorting space for sorting luggage. The conveying equipment 40 is arranged on the first floor F1 above ground and the second floor F2 above ground. The conveying equipment 40 is, for example, a track such as a rail and a cart that runs on the track. The conveying equipment 40 (the track) is formed in an endless (annular) shape extending in the second direction Db in a plan view. The conveying equipment 40 has a first straight portion 40a, a second straight portion 40b, a first turn-back portion 40c, and a second turn-back portion 40d. The first straight portion 40a and the second straight portion 40b each extend in the second direction Db. The first straight portion 40a is arranged on the warehouse section 2 side in the first direction Da with respect to the second straight portion 40b. The first turning portion 40c and the second turning portion 40d connect the first straight portion 40a and the second straight portion 40b on both sides in the second direction Db. In such a conveying facility 40, a self-propelled cart (not shown) conveys luggage on tracks provided as the first straight portion 40a, the second straight portion 40b, the first turning portion 40c, and the second turning portion 40d. In the goods handling section 3, the portion in which the conveying equipment 40 is provided is set up as a goods conveying area A where goods are delivered and received between the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3.

[0019] A transfer conveyor 70 is provided between an end portion 26a of each row of rack shelves 26 in the warehouse section 2, the end portion 26a being located on the luggage transport area A side in the first direction Da, and the first straight section 40a of the transport equipment 40. The stacker crane 27 transfers luggage between the stacker crane 27 and the first straight section 40a via the transfer conveyor 70. As shown in Fig. 4, the incoming / outgoing conveyor 41 is installed on the first floor F1. The incoming / outgoing conveyor 41 is disposed on the opposite side of the warehouse section 2 in the first direction Da with respect to the second straight section 40b of the transport facility 40. The incoming / outgoing conveyor 41 comes into contact with the opening 30k, allowing delivery of luggage to and from a truck positioned adjacent to the incoming / outgoing conveyor 41. 5 is a sorting space where luggage is sorted, as described above. In the sorting space, pallets carrying luggage are delivered between the sorting space and the conveying equipment 40 on the second floor F2 by a conveyor 46 or the like provided adjacent to the second straight section 40b.

[0020] In this kind of goods handling section 3, goods are brought in by trucks from outside to the first floor F1 of the goods handling section 3 and unloaded. The unloaded goods are transported to the warehouse section 2 by the inbound / outbound conveyor 41, the transport equipment 40, etc. In the warehouse section 2, the goods are moved by the stacker crane 27 via the transport equipment 40, the transfer conveyor 70, etc. to a shelf 26s at a pre-specified position and stored there. The goods placed on the shelf 26s are stored there until a request to remove them from the warehouse is made. When a request is made to remove a package from the warehouse, the stacker crane 27 removes the package from the shelf 26s and transports it to the second floor F2 or the first floor F1 of the goods sorting section 3 via the transfer conveyor 70, the transport equipment 40, etc. On the second floor F2 of the goods sorting section 3, goods transported by conveying equipment 40 etc. are sorted. On the first above-ground floor F1 of the goods sorting section 3, pallets carrying goods to be shipped are loaded onto trucks via an inbound / outbound conveyor 41.

[0021] Now, in such a logistics warehouse 1, the multiple warehouse section pillars 21D arranged on one side of the warehouse section 2 in the first direction Da, i.e., on the end 20a on the side of the goods handling section 3, are provided along the outer edge 30f of the goods handling section 3 adjacent to the warehouse section 2 at the outermost periphery of the warehouse section building 20, and are arranged at the ends of each aisle 28. On the other hand, on the warehouse section 2 side of the goods handling section 3, among the multiple pillars 31 constituting the goods handling section building 30, the outermost pillar 31Z is provided in a portion offset from the outer edge portion 30f in contact with the warehouse section 2 to the inside of the goods handling section 3 (the opposite side to the warehouse section 2 in the first direction Da). Here, the outermost pillar 31Z refers to the pillar 31 of the goods handling section 3 that is closest to the outer edge portion 30f in the first direction Da in the portion J of the goods handling section 3 that communicates with the warehouse section 2 (the portion facing the rack group 25 and the aisle 28 of the warehouse section 2). The outermost pillar 31Z is provided in a plurality of portions at intervals in the second direction Db. The luggage transport area A where luggage is delivered between the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3 is provided in a portion offset from the outer edge portion 30f where the outermost pillar 31Z is provided to the inside of the goods handling section 3. In this embodiment, the outermost pillar 31Z is disposed between the first straight section 40a and the second straight section 40b of the conveying equipment 40. Therefore, in this embodiment, the portion of the luggage conveying area A corresponding to the first straight section 40a is provided on the outer side (the warehouse section 2 side) of the outermost pillar 31Z in the portion offset from the outer edge section 30f to the inside of the luggage handling section 3, and the portion of the luggage conveying area A corresponding to the second straight section 40b is provided on the inner side of the luggage handling section building 30 of the outermost pillar 31Z.

[0022] 3, the outermost column 31Z is provided at a portion offset from the outer edge 30f in contact with the storage section 2 toward the inside of the material handling section 3, so that a part of the floor slab 35 of the second floor section F2 above ground becomes a cantilever slab 35t protruding from the outermost column 31Z in the first direction Da toward the storage section 2. The cantilever slab 35t has its base end supported by the outermost column 31Z. As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, a fire compartment 80 is provided in a portion offset from the outer edge 30f in contact with the warehouse section 2 toward the inside of the goods handling section 3. The fire compartment 80 is provided in each of the first floor section F1 and the second floor section F2. The fire compartment 80 extends in the second direction Db. The fire compartment 80 is disposed on the warehouse section 2 side in the first direction Da with respect to the outermost column 31Z. The fire compartment 80 divides the space on the warehouse section 2 side from the space on the goods handling section 3 side. At both ends of the fire compartment 80 in the second direction Db, an opening 81 is formed so that a cart can pass on the track of the conveying equipment 40. The opening 81 is provided with a shutter (not shown) that closes the opening 81 in the event of a fire or the like.

[0023] According to the logistics warehouse 1 as described above, the logistics warehouse 1 comprises a warehouse section 2 in which a group of racks 25 and a stacker crane 27 are installed, and a goods handling section 3 which handles the loading and unloading of goods to be stored in the warehouse section 2, and the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3 are constructed adjacent to each other as different structures, and in the goods handling section 3, the outermost pillars 31Z are provided in a portion offset inward from the outer edge 30f which contacts the warehouse section 2 to the inside of the goods handling section 3, and a goods transport area A is provided in the offset portion for receiving and handing over goods between the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3. According to this configuration, the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3 are constructed adjacent to each other as different structures. In addition, in the goods handling section 3, the outermost pillar 31Z on the warehouse section 2 side is provided in a portion offset from the outer edge portion 30f that contacts the warehouse section 2 toward the inside of the goods handling section 3. In this way, by making the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3 different structures and not providing the outermost pillar 31Z on the outer edge portion 30f of the goods handling section 3 that contacts the warehouse section 2, the span of the pillar 31 can be set in the goods handling section 3 without being affected by the span of the pillar 21 in the warehouse section 2. As described above, the outermost column 31Z of the goods handling section 3 on the warehouse section 2 side is provided in a portion offset inward, so that the outermost column 21D provided in the portion of the warehouse section 2 that contacts the goods handling section 3 and the outermost column 31Z provided in the offset portion of the goods handling section 3 are provided apart from each other in the direction Da in which the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3 are adjacent to each other. Therefore, even if the column spans of the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3 are different, the outermost column 21D of the warehouse section 2 provided in the portion that contacts the goods handling section 3 and the outermost column 31Z of the goods handling section 3 provided in the portion that contacts the warehouse section 2 are prevented from coming close to each other at the boundary between the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3. Therefore, the space utilization efficiency at the boundary between the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3 is not likely to decrease. In particular, the luggage transport area A, where luggage is delivered between the storage section 2 and the goods sorting section 3, is provided in the offset portion as described above. This reduces interference between the pillars 21D, 31Z and the equipment (transport equipment 40) provided in the luggage transport area A, ensuring flexibility in the installation of the luggage transport area A. Furthermore, in the warehouse section 2, the rack group 25 and stacker crane 27 can be efficiently arranged without being affected by the goods handling section 3. In this way, it is possible to provide a logistics warehouse 1 that can increase the degree of freedom in designing the goods handling section 3 and realize a goods handling section 3 that is easy to use.

[0024] In addition, the floor slabs 35 of the second floor and above of the cargo handling section 3 protrude from the outermost column 31Z toward the warehouse section 2 at the outer edge portion 30f adjacent to the warehouse section 2, and are cantilever slabs 35t supported by the outermost column 31Z. According to this configuration, the logistics warehouse 1 as described above can be properly realized.

[0025] In addition, the warehouse section 2 is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed in a plane, the rack group 25 and the aisle 28 along which the stacker crane 27 runs are arranged along the long side direction (first direction) Da of the warehouse section 2, and the goods handling section 3 is provided on the end 20a side in the long side direction (first direction) Da and is connected to the end by an expansion joint 5. According to this configuration, the rack group 25 and the passage 28 along which the stacker crane 27 travels are installed along the long side direction (first direction) Da of the storage section 2, and the goods handling section 3 is connected to the storage section 2 at the end 20a side in the long side direction (first direction) Da, so that one end of the passage 28 for the rack group 25 and the stacker crane 27 is installed in contact with the goods handling section 3. As a result, when storing goods from the goods handling section 3 in the rack group 25, the stacker crane 27 transports the goods received from the goods handling section 3 at one end of the passage 28 toward the other end side of the passage 28 and stores the goods in a predetermined position in the rack group 25. Also, when taking out goods from the rack group 25, the stacker crane 27 transports the goods taken out from the predetermined position of the rack group 25 toward one end side of the passage 28 and delivers them to the goods handling section 3. In this way, luggage can be moved efficiently between the storage section 2 and the luggage sorting section 3. In addition, since the building weights of the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3 are fundamentally different, the seismic loads acting on them when an earthquake occurs are also different. For this reason, the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3 behave differently during an earthquake, causing them to move relative to each other. Here, because the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3 are connected by an expansion joint 5, the expansion joint 5 absorbs such relative movement.

[0026] (Modification) In the above embodiment, the configuration of the logistics warehouse 1 has been described, but the use thereof is not limited in any way. In addition, in the above embodiment, the warehouse pillars 21 are provided separately from the rack group 25, but the rack shelves 26 that make up the rack group 25 may also function as pillars of the warehouse building 20, and multiple rack shelves 26 may support the warehouse roof 23. In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the warehouse section 2 is provided with the first direction Da, which is the direction in which the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3 are adjacent to each other, as the long side direction, and the second direction Db, which is perpendicular to the first direction Da, as the short side direction, and accordingly, the rack group 25 and the passage 28 along which the stacker crane 27 runs are arranged along the long side direction Da of the warehouse section 2, but this is not limited to the above. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the warehouse section 2 may be provided with the first direction Da, which is the direction in which the warehouse section 2 and the goods handling section 3 are adjacent to each other, as the short side direction, and the second direction Db, which is perpendicular to the first direction Da, as the long side direction, and accordingly, the rack group 25 and the passage 28 along which the stacker crane 27 runs are arranged along the first direction Da, i.e., the short side direction of the warehouse section 2. In this case, since the wide side surface of the warehouse section 2 is configured to be in contact with the goods handling section 3, it is possible to increase the number of stacker cranes 27, and the processing capacity for entering and leaving the warehouse is improved. In addition, in the above embodiment, the fire compartment 80 was positioned on the warehouse section 2 side relative to the outermost pillar 31Z of the material handling section 3, as shown in Figure 2, but it may also be positioned on the material handling section 3 side. In addition, the configurations described in the above embodiments can be selected or changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
