Abstract
A computer-controlled, multi-floor, multi-block equipment conveying and storage system having a multi-floor steel framework made of H-beam steels. Each floor is divided into a plurality of equal blocks longitudinally and latitudinally aligned. The blocks include one block serving as a lifting gear access unit for the passing therethrough of a lifting gear which moves from floor to floor for carrying storage items and the other blocks serving as storage units surrounding the lifting gear access unit for storing items. A plurality of driving mechanisms to separately carry a plurality of carrier plates from block to block in a straight direction permits any designated carrier plate in either floor to be moved to the lifting gear access unit of the same floor for delivery to any other floor by the lifting gear.
