Ceiling depository system
A ceiling storage system includes an overhead transport vehicle and a storage rack. The overhead transport vehicle has a traveling section traveling on rails arranged in a grid pattern, and a body section suspended from the traveling section and configured to hold an article on an underside of the rails. The storage rack has a plurality of suspension members extending in an up-down direction, and having a middle portion provided with a rail support and a bottom end provided with a unit support, and a shelf unit and a scaffolding unit supported by the unit support of the suspension members. The corner portion of the shelf unit and the corner portion of the scaffolding unit are supported by the unit support.
1 . A ceiling storage system comprising:
an overhead transport vehicle having a traveling section traveling on rails arranged at least partly in a grid pattern, and a body section suspended from the traveling section and holding an article on an underside of the rails; and
a storage rack arranged below the rails and storing the article, wherein
the storage rack has
a plurality of suspension members extending in an up-down direction, and having a middle portion provided with a rail support and a bottom end provided with a unit support, and
a shelf unit and a scaffolding unit supported by the unit support of the suspension members, and
a corner portion of the shelf unit and a corner portion of the scaffolding unit are supported by the unit support;
wherein the scaffolding unit is arranged between a shelf unit and another shelf unit.
2 . The ceiling storage system according to claim 1 , wherein the shelf unit and the scaffolding unit are rectangularly shaped in plan view.
3 . The ceiling storage system according to claim 1 , wherein the suspension member includes an upper suspension member having a lower end protruding from the rail support and a lower suspension member having an upper end connected to the upper suspension member.
4 . The ceiling storage system according to claim 1 , wherein
the rail includes
a plurality of first rails extending along a first direction and a plurality of second rails extending along a second direction intersecting the first direction, and
a plurality of intersection rails arranged with a gap to an end of each first rail and to an end of each second rail, the gap allowing a coupling section coupling the traveling section to the body section to pass through the gap,
each cell is defined by a pair of the corresponding first rails aligned in the second direction and a pair of the corresponding second rails aligned in the first direction to form a matrix in a grid pattern, and
the shelf unit and the scaffolding unit each have a shape and a size corresponding to the cells of integer pieces aligned in plan view.
5 . A ceiling storage system comprising:
an overhead transport vehicle having a traveling section traveling on rails arranged at least partly in a grid pattern, and a body section suspended from the traveling section and holding an article on an underside of the rails; and
a storage rack arranged below the rails and storing the article, wherein
the storage rack has
a plurality of suspension members extending in an up-down direction, and having a middle portion provided with a rail support and a bottom end provided with a unit support, and
a shelf unit and a scaffolding unit supported by the unit support of the suspension members, and
a corner portion of the shelf unit and a corner portion of the scaffolding unit are supported by the unit support;
wherein the suspension member includes an upper suspension member having a lower end protruding from the rail support and a lower suspension member having an upper end connected to the upper suspension member.
6 . A ceiling storage system comprising:
an overhead transport vehicle having a traveling section traveling on rails arranged at least partly in a grid pattern, and a body section suspended from the traveling section and holding an article on an underside of the rails; and

the storage rack has
a plurality of suspension members extending in an up-down direction, and having a middle portion provided with a rail support and a bottom end provided with a unit support, and
a shelf unit and a scaffolding unit supported by the unit support of the suspension members, and
a corner portion of the shelf unit and a corner portion of the scaffolding unit are supported by the unit support;
wherein
the rail includes
a plurality of first rails extending along a first direction and a plurality of second rails extending along a second direction intersecting the first direction, and
a plurality of intersection rails arranged with a gap to an end of each first rail and to an end of each second rail, the gap allowing a coupling section coupling the traveling section to the body section to pass through the gap,
each cell is defined by a pair of the corresponding first rails aligned in the second direction and a pair of the corresponding second rails aligned in the first direction to form a matrix in a grid pattern, and
