Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus for storing and handling an article at a ceiling, including: an internal rail configured to hang on the ceiling; a storage system configured to hang on the ceiling and including a shelf of a first row and a shelf of a second row disposed on both sides of the internal rail to face each other and a transport in/out port connected to any one of the shelf of the first row and the shelf of the second row; and an internal transfer robot configured to be movably connected to the internal rail and convey the article between any one of the shelf of the first row and the shelf of the second row and the transport in/out port.

Claim (Index 29):
An apparatus for storing and handling an article adjacent a ceiling, the apparatus comprising:\n a first storage system configured to hang from the ceiling and including shelves of two rows and a first transport in/out port connected to the shelves of the two rows; a second storage system configured to hang from the ceiling and including shelves of two rows and the second storage system is disposed to continue to the first storage system; a first internal rail configured to hang from the ceiling and disposed between the shelves of the two rows of the first storage system; a second internal rail configured to hang from the ceiling, be disposed between the shelves of the two rows of the second storage system, and form a first transfer path along with the first internal rail; an internal transfer robot configured to move along the first transfer path to convey the article between any one of the shelves of the two rows of the first storage system and the shelves of the two rows of the second storage system and the first transport in/out port; a first external rail installed outside the first storage system to pass upper portions of the transport in/out port to provide a second transfer path for transferring the article to the transport in/out port to an external transfer robot; a second external rail installed outside the second storage system to form the second transfer path along with the first external rail; a first cradle installed to hang from the ceiling and disposed at upper side of the first storage system; and a second cradle installed to hang from the ceiling and disposed at upper side of the second storage system, wherein the internal transfer robot includes: a two-way sliding unit configured to slide a holding unit holding the article in two ways; an elevation-driving unit configured to elevate the two-way sliding unit; and the first internal rail, the first storage system, and the first external rail are connected to the first cradle to hang from the ceiling, and the second internal rail, the second storage system, and the second external rail are connected to the second cradle to hang from the ceiling.
