US 2008/0290108 A1 · COMMODITY CARRYING OUT DEVICE

Abstract

The present invention provides a commodity carrying out device that can reliably carry out even a commodity with a vertically long shape to a predetermined commodity carrying out position without producing a carrying-out failure. That is, when a bucket unit that receives a commodity is moved in a width direction towards a predetermined commodity carrying out position, the commodity is retained in an inclined state. It is thus possible to retain the commodity in a stable posture in the bucket unit that moves towards the predetermined commodity carrying out position, and even when carrying out a commodity that has a vertically long shape, the commodity can be reliably carried out to the commodity outlet portion without producing a carrying-out failure.

Dependent claims

A commodity carrying out device, comprising:

a plurality of commodity storage columns aligned in a vertical direction and a width direction with respect to each other for storing commodities arranged in a front-to-rear direction;
a bucket for receiving a commodity to be carried out, and in which movement of the commodity in a direction other than a direction towards a surface side from which the commodity is taken in and put out is restricted;
a bucket moving mechanism for moving the bucket to a front side of an arbitrary commodity storage column and moving the bucket that receives the commodity to a predetermined commodity carrying out position;
and
a bucket rotating mechanism for rotating the bucket so that a surface at which the commodity is taken in and put out of the bucket faces the commodity storage column side and the predetermined commodity carrying out position side.
