wherein in a process of the accommodation portion moving in a first direction where the accommodation portion moves from the first position to the second position, the accommodation portion comes into contact with the guide portion and is guided upward,

wherein the housing includes a first frame extending in the first direction, a second frame extending in the first direction,

wherein the accommodation portion is located between the first frame and the second frame in a second direction orthogonal to each of the first direction and a vertical direction,

wherein the first frame includes a first support portion configured to come into contact with and support the accommodation portion, and

wherein the second frame includes a second support portion configured to come into contact with and support the accommodation portion.

2 . The accommodation system according to claim 1 ,

wherein a space is formed between the first frame and the second frame in the second direction,

wherein the space is located downstream in the first direction and below in the vertical direction with respect to each of the first support portion and the second support portion,

wherein the accommodation portion has a first rear end that is a downstream end portion of the accommodation portion in the first direction,

wherein a length of the space in the second direction is longer than a length of the first rear end in the second direction, and

wherein in a process of the accommodation portion moving from the first position to the second position, in a case where the first rear end reaches downstream of the first support portion and the second support portion in the first direction and the accommodation portion further moves in the first direction, the first rear end enters the space and moves downward.

3 . The accommodation system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the connection unit includes a downstream connection portion connected to each of the first frame and the second frame so as to be positioned between the first frame and the second frame in the second direction,

wherein the downstream connection portion is located downstream of the guide portion in the first direction,

wherein an upper end portion of the downstream connection portion is located below an upper end portion of the guide portion, and

wherein the downstream connection portion and the guide portion overlap with the space when viewed in the first direction.

4 . The accommodation system according to claim 3 ,

wherein the guide portion has a contact surface,

wherein the contact surface extends in the first direction where the accommodation portion moves from the first position to the second position, and extends upward as the contact surface extends in the first direction, and

wherein in a process of the accommodation portion moving from the first position to the second position, the accommodation portion comes into contact with the contact surface and is guided upward.

5 . The accommodation system according to claim 4 , wherein the contact surface is within the space.

6 . The accommodation system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the connection unit includes a connection portion connected to each of the first frame and the second frame so as to be located between the first frame and the second frame in the second direction, and

wherein the connection portion is positioned downstream of the first support portion and the second support portion in the first direction, and the guide portion is in contact with an upper end portion of the connection portion and is located above the connection portion.

7 . The accommodation system according to claim 6 ,

wherein the connection unit includes the guide portion at an upstream end portion of the connection portion in the first direction, and

wherein in a process of the accommodation portion moving from the first position to the second position, the accommodation portion comes into contact with the guide portion and is guided upward.

8 . The accommodation system according to claim 1 , wherein in the first direction, a shortest distance between a downstream end portion of the first support portion and an upstream end portion of the first frame is shorter than a shortest distance between the downstream end portion of the first support portion and a downstream end portion of the first frame.

9 . The accommodation system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the connection unit has an exterior portion that is a downstream end portion of the connection unit in the first direction and an upper end portion of the connection unit, and

wherein the exterior portion includes the guide portion.
