PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the substantial capacity in a warehouse by sharing a flexible connecting part of a conveyor line for allowing the horizontal displacement with a front chamber and increasing the floor area of an automatic storage and retrieval system occupying the base isolation floor to the maximum extent. ;SOLUTION: In a conveyor line 4 extending from a base isolation floor 1 to a general floor 16, a free beam 19 to be extended, contracted and deflected according to the horizontal displacement between the base isolation floor 1 and the general floor 16 is provided between the base isolation floor 1 and the general floor 16, a relay conveyor 21 is mounted on the free beam, and the relay conveyor is connected between a conveyor 24 of the base isolation floor 1 and a conveyor 23 of the general floor 16 with no interference. Moreover, an extensible tunnel-shaped heat insulating shelter 34 for surrounding the conveyor line 4 is provided between the base isolation floor 1 and the general floor 16, heat insulating doors 38, 39 are mounted on openings 12, 13 on both ends of the tunnel-shaped heat insulating shelter so as to be freely opened and closed, and a front chamber 6 is formed.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1999,JPO
