Finally, the invention also relates to a goods transport device for storing and retrieving hanging garments, which are hung on hangers, and / or for hanging bags for goods, in a storage rack of an automated storage system with first goods receiving carriers, wherein the goods transport device is movable in a first direction. The goods transport device comprises a base frame, a second goods receiving carrier extending in the second direction and adjustable in the second direction on the first goods receiving carrier, and at least one relative to the base frame in the second direction movable storage and retrieval device for moving the hanging goods between the first goods receiving carrier and the second goods receiving medium. The storage and retrieval device has entrainment organs, which between a release position in which the Münahmeorgane are moved transversely to the second direction of the first goods receiving carrier, and an operating position in which the Mir ^ n ^ l ^ r ^ (^ or ^ cross are moved to the second direction to the first goods receiving carrier out are adjustable, the release position for releasing the hangers / hanging bags and the operating position for Müi assuming the hanger / hanging bags is provided.
A storage system, an operating method and a goods transport device of the above-mentioned type are known in principle from the prior art.
The AT 516 612 A4 discloses in this context a method for storing hanging garments in an automated storage system with a stationary storage rack arranged in superimposed storage levels storage areas for the hanging garments, and at least one movable in front of the storage rack in a first direction goods transport device. The goods transport device comprises a base frame, and at least one relative to the base frame in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction movable storage and retrieval device. The hanging garments are moved by means of the storage and retrieval device between a goods receiving carrier associated with the storage area and a goods receiving carrier associated with the goods transport device, wherein the goods receiving carriers remain in the storage areas in the storage rack.
A disadvantage of the disclosed in the AT 516 612 A4 method that the entrainment of the storage and retrieval device when gripping the hanger can damage the hanging on the hangers goods in each case. In particular, this is the case with garments that have a high Kr days, for example, in winter jackets and winter coats. In addition, in the case of the method disclosed in AT 516 612 A4, in unfavorable cases jamming of the storage and retrieval device can occur, which can also lead to damage of the goods and also of the storage and retrieval device.
US 6,558,102 B2 also discloses an automated storage system for hanging garments, especially garments such as coats, jackets, suits,
Costumes, etc., a hanging conveyor with running on rails carriage, storage racks with superimposed storage levels arranged storage areas and between the storage racks in a first direction (x-direction) movable goods transport devices (storage and retrieval equipment) with a raised and lowered base frame and each goods transport device has relative to the base frame in a second direction (z-direction) perpendicular to the first direction (x-direction) movable storage and retrieval device for loading and unloading the storage shelves. The hanging goods are hung with hangers on storage poles and is transported and stored with these in the storage system. The bearing rods are fixed positively during transport and storage.
From DE 102 14 471 A1 an automated storage system for hanging garments is known, are used in the goods receiving carrier, which are provided with sliding elements and brackets for the hanging garments. The storage areas and the raised and lowered base frame of the goods transport device are equipped with mounting rails along which the goods receiving media run. The base frame may be equipped with an insertion and removal device by means of which the goods receiving carrier between a storage area and the goods transport device can be moved.
According to EP 1 972 577 B1, the automated storage system for hanging garments comprises a conveyor system, a storage and retrieval unit, storage shelves and a transfer station, wherein the hanging goods are transferred from the conveyor to storage rods or delivered from the storage rods in the transfer station, wherein the storage and retrieval unit is formed, to take empty or full storage poles from the transfer station or to deliver to the transfer station. The storage and retrieval unit also has gripping units, by means of which the storage rod can be fixed on the transport from the transfer station to the storage rack. EP 2 130 789 B1 additionally provides an intermediate receptacle for an empty storage bar below the gripping units and a storage receptacle for an empty storage bar in the storage rack.
In DE 10 2008 035 651 A1, an automated storage system is described, which instead of storage poles used goods receiving carrier comprising on a bottom suspension recordings, to which the hanging garments can be suspended.
From DE 10 2008 018 310 A1 a method for operating a high-bay warehouse for hanging garments is known, which comprises the steps: - hanging of hanging garments on a loose storage bar in a goods receipt, - transferring the suspended storage bar on a rack storage operator, - storing the suspended storage rod in a free storage area of a storage rack, - transferring the suspended storage bar from the storage rack to the stacker crane, - taking over the suspended storage bar from the storage and retrieval unit, - hanging the hanging goods from the storage bar and - transporting the empty storage bar into a buffer store.
In addition to the disadvantages already stated in AT 516 612 A4, the bearing systems disclosed in the additionally cited documents are very complicated, since a large number of bearing rods or goods receiving carriers are used, which have to be manipulated together with the hanging goods. The storage and retrieval machines and the storage areas are to be equipped with appropriate fixing means, which fix the storage rods or goods receiving carrier again after each change.
The present invention is based on the object of specifying an improved automated storage system for hanging garments / hanging bags, an improved operating method for an automated storage system for hanging garments / hanging bags and an improved goods transport device of an automated storage system for storing and retrieving hanging garments / hanging bags. In particular, damage to a hanging on a hanger hanging goods or stored in hanging bags goods or the hanging bag itself when gripping the hangers / hanging bags should be avoided. In particular, the risk of jamming the storage and retrieval
Device can be reduced, which can lead to damage to the goods and also the storage and retrieval device. Finally, an automated storage device is to be created in particular, with which a high throughput can be achieved and which can be operated more easily compared to the prior art.
The object of the invention is achieved with an automated storage system of the type mentioned above, - means are provided for movement control, which superimpose the movement of Miinahmeorgane transversely to the second direction and the first goods receiving carrier out a movement in the second direction and / or - means for Motion control, which cause a movement of Miinahmeor-gane transversely to the second direction and the first goods receiving carrier out at a different location than a movement of Miinahmeorgane transversely to the second direction and away from the first goods receiving carrier.
In particular, the offset is smaller than the distance between two adjacent coin receiving members and, in particular, corresponds to half the distance between two adjacent coin receiving members minus half the thickness of the hook / hanger hook.
The object of the invention is also achieved with an operating method of the type mentioned, in which - the movement of Miinahmeorgane transversely to the second direction and the first / second Warenaufnaheträger out a movement in the second direction is superimposed and / or - the movement of Miinahmeorgane transversely to the second direction and to the first / second goods receiving carrier out at a different location than the movement of Miinahmeorgane transversely to the second direction and away from the first / second goods receiving carrier.
In particular, finally, here is the offset smaller than the distance between two adjacent Miinahmeorganen and corresponds in particular half the distance between two adjacent Miinahmeorganen minus half the thickness of the hook of the hanger / hanging bag.
Finally, the object of the invention with a goods transport device of the type mentioned above, - means are provided for movement control, which overlap the movement of the Ertnahmeorgane transversely to the second direction and the first Warenaufnahmeträger out a movement in the second direction and / or - means for Motion control, which cause a movement of Mretnahmeor gane transversely to the second direction and the first goods receiving carrier out at a different location than a movement of the Eretnahmeorgane transversely to the second direction and away from the first goods receiving carrier.
In particular, the offset is smaller than the distance between two adjacent male members and in particular corresponds to half the distance between two adjacent male members minus half the thickness of the hanger / hanger pocket hook.
A vertical downward movement of the organs of command can thus be superimposed on a sideways movement, or the downward movement of the organs of action takes place simultaneously with a sideways movement. That is to say, the movement of the receiving organs, which may be formed in particular by pin-shaped extensions pointing in the direction of the first goods receiving carrier and / or second goods receiving carrier, takes place obliquely downward.
In this way, a blockade of the storage and retrieval device is prevented, even if a drive member is moved down to the position at which the hook of a hanger / hanging bag is located. By the lateral component of the movement of the Mrtnahmeorgans the hanger / hanging bag is reliably pushed aside.
The means for the motion control or for the mentioned superimposition of downward and sideways movement may be formed by a mechanical coupling (for example by a Kullssenführung) or by an electronic control, which drives, for example synchronously motors for the downward and sideways movement.
Alternatively or additionally, the movement of the entrainment members can take place transversely to the second direction and to the first / second goods receiving carrier at a different location than the movement of the Eretnahmeorgane transversely to the second direction and the first / second Warenaufnahmeträgerweg.
If, for example, it is assumed that the storage and retrieval device has deposited the clothes hangers / hanging bags at a certain position, then the resumption after the above-mentioned embodiment variant takes place at a different position. The upward movement of Mrtnahmeorgane after discontinuation of the hangers / hanging bags thus takes place at a different position than the downward movement in the resumption. In other words, the extension path of the storage and retrieval device during storage of hanging garments / hanging bags is different than when outsourcing the hanging garments / hanging bags. In particular, the offset is smaller than the distance between two adjacent driving members. The offset corresponds in particular to half the distance between two adjacent entrainment members minus half the thickness of the hook / hanger hook.
In principle, it would also be conceivable that the storage and retrieval device is moved away from the hanger / hanging bags before the upward movement of Miinahmeorgane something. Although the movement of the Eretnahmeorgane transversely to the second direction and the first goods receiving carrier out (ie, the vertical downward movement) then possibly at the same place as the movement of the Eretnahmeorgane transversely to the second direction and the first goods receiving carrier away (ie, the vertical upward movement), however occurs the same as the effect described above. This variant is therefore to be classified as equivalent.
The means for the movement control or for the said offset in the reception of the hanger / hanging bags can be formed by a mechanical coupling or by an electronic control, which controls, for example, the motors for the downward and sideways movement accordingly.
Both proposed measures, ie the superposition of downward and sideways movement and the offset in the reception of the hangers / hanging bags, prevent blockages of the storage and retrieval device, which can lead to damage of the goods and also the storage and retrieval device. Both measures can be used individually or in combination. In a preferred embodiment, the downward movement of the Miinahme organs over the hook of the hanger / hanging bags, wherein the movement of Miinahmeorgane obliquely downwards starts. The distance traveled during the sideways movement corresponds (substantially) to half the distance between two adjacent collecting means minus half the thickness of the hanger / hanging bag hook.
A "hanging bag" is generally a bag in which goods of any kind can be stored, and which can be hung by means of a hanger on a support. The goods are stored in the hanging bag not necessarily hanging, but can also be stored Hegend. Consequently, in hanging bags not only garments but also other goods can be stored, for example, food. The suspension means may be a hook shaped like the hook of a garment hanger. However, the suspension means can also be shaped differently and, for example, have a sliding carriage in the goods receiving carrier or rolling in the goods receiving carrier car. An example of a hanging bag is disclosed, for example, in EP 2 792 620 A1 or EP 3 090 967 A2.
In this context, it is also noted that the hanger does not necessarily have to have a hook-shaped suspension means. The suspension means may also be shaped differently there and, for example, comprise a slide sliding in the goods receiving carrier or a carriage rolling in the goods receiving carrier. In the context of the disclosure, the term "hook" can therefore be replaced mentally with "suspension means".
In general, the storage rack can be stationary, but it can also be mobile. A mobile storage rack can be equipped with rollers, for example.
The second goods receiving carrier is adjustable in the second direction (z) transversely to the base frame to the first goods receiving carrier out. It is also conceivable, however, that it is adjustable in a further direction, in particular in the third direction (y). It is favorable if the movement of the entrainment members in the second direction is an oscillatory movement. That is, the movement of the driver gate is superimposed on an oscillating motion in the second direction transversely to the second direction and the first / second goods receiving medium. In other words, the downward movement of the receiving organs is superimposed on an oscillating sideways movement or a lateral reciprocating movement. This also effectively prevents a blockage of a Mrtnahmeorgans by a hanger / a hanging bag. It is expedient for the receiving bodies to be rotationally symmetrical and to taper in the direction of the first goods receiving carrier and / or second goods receiving carrier, in particular downwards. The conical design of the mounts ensures that the hooks of the hanger / hanging bags are pushed aside during downward movement of the mounts when a mover is moved downwards at the position where there is a hook of a hanger / hanging bag. With the same effect, of course, the Mrtnahmeorgan can also be wedge-shaped (and not rotationally symmetrical).
It is advantageous if the Mrtnahmeorgane in a third direction (y) are movable, that is in particular vertically movable. For example, this can be done by an extendable rail of the storage and retrieval device to which the Mrtnahmeorgane are permanently mounted, is adjusted vertically. It is also conceivable, however, that the Mrtnahmeorgane against the rail are extendable. For example, the Mrtnahmeorgane electromechanically, pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically retracted and extended. A vertical adjustment of the extendable rail of the storage and retrieval device can then be omitted in principle, but is also conceivable a combination of the proposed Mögllchkeiten. It is particularly advantageous if the command organs can be controlled individually (or also in groups), since then the goods can be subjected to particular differentiation. For example, individual goods or groups of goods can then be transferred particularly elegantly from the second goods receiving carrier of the goods transport device to a first goods receiving carrier of the warehouse. It is favorable if the movement of the receiving members in the third (vertical) direction (y) is effected by a rotational movement, since a pivot bearing can usually be realized more easily with high accuracy than a linear guide.
In general, it is advantageous if the receiving organs are positioned in the operating position when the goods transport device in the first direction (x) is moved. This means in particular that the Mrtnahmeorgane remain positioned in the operating position, after goods were taken from the first goods receiving carrier of the storage rack on the second goods receiving carrier of goods transport portvomchtung. In this way, the goods are fixed in position during a journey of the goods transport device (or at least limited in their movement) and can not fall off the second goods receiving carrier. In addition, a twisting of the hanging goods / hanging bags while driving the goods transport device in the x-direction or a lifting of the hangers from the second goods receiving medium can be largely avoided. Although the proposed approach is advantageous, it is still conceivable that the receiving members are positioned in the release position when the goods transport device is moved in the first direction (x).
It is advantageous if the first goods receiving carrier and / or the second goods receiving carrier - has a first support portion and a second support portion, which extend in the longitudinal direction of the goods receiving carrier at a mutual distance and are designed to support a hook of a hanger / a hanging bag, and - a receiving portion which runs in the longitudinal direction of the goods receiving carrier between the first support portion and the second support portion and forms a longitudinal slot opening in the direction of the support portions
Accordingly, it is also advantageous if the second goods receiving carrier of the goods transport device - a first support portion and a second support portion which extend in the longitudinal direction of the second goods receiving carrier at a mutual distance and are designed to support a hook of a hanger / a hanging bag, and - a receiving portion which runs in the longitudinal direction of the second goods receiving carrier between the first support portion and the second support portion and forms a longitudinal slot opening in the direction of the support portions
In this way it can be ensured that the Miinahmeorgane engage behind the hanger / hanging bags in the operating position, since the hook of the hanger / hanging bag the first / second goods receiving carrier in the region of the receiving portion and so it comes to an overlap Miinahmeorgane the hooks. It is favorable if the coin receiving means, as already mentioned, are formed by pin-shaped extensions pointing in the direction of the first goods receiving carrier and / or second goods receiving carrier. In particular, the Miinahmeorgane down and are movable from above into the receiving portion into, for example, in the open / recessed profile.
In an advantageous embodiment variant of the presented operating method, the mover members are moved during the movement from the release position into the actuating position into a receiving section of the first goods receiving carrier and / or the second goods receiving carrier, the first goods receiving carrier and / or the second goods receiving carrier having a first support section and a second Support portion which extend in the longitudinal direction of the goods receiving carrier at a mutual distance and are formed to support a hook of a hanger / a hanging bag, and wherein the receiving portion in the longitudinal direction of the goods receiving carrier between the first support portion and second support portion and extending in the direction of the support portions longitudinal slot forming
It is advantageous that the Mrtnahmeorgane are arranged on that side of the first / second goods receiving carrier, which faces away from the goods, that is on the top of the goods receiving carrier. In this way, the Mrttahmeorgane come under any circumstances with the goods in contact, whereby their damage can be avoided. This makes it possible, especially clothing with high collar, for example, winter jackets and winter coats to transport safely. In addition, the proposed storage system is characterized by a high throughput, and it can be compared to the prior art operated in a simpler manner. The parallel alignment of a first goods receiving carrier of the goods transport device and a second goods receiving carrier of the storage rack also favors a simple construction of a storage and retrieval device for manipulating the hanging goods / hanging bags.
By forming the profile of the hook of the hanger / hanging bag is well stabilized on the goods receiving carrier, whereby unwanted pivoting and wobbling movements of the hangers hung on the hanger or the hanging bag with the stored goods hardly or only to a small extent. In particular, the inclined sections tapered to one another form tendons of a curve forming the hook of the hanger / hanging bag. In other words, the inclined portions are designed in terms of their inclination and length so that they touch the hook of a hanger / a hanging bag at two and thus a total of four points.
The receiving portion (engaging portion) or longitudinal slot may be open or recessed upwards and in particular be formed groove-shaped. In particular, it is formed by a depression / bead.
Advantageously, the first goods receiving carrier and / or the second goods receiving carrier in addition to a first wall portion and a second wall portion on which extend in the longitudinal direction of the goods receiving carrier and parallel to a substantially vertically aligned to the respective storage plane symmetry plane of the goods receiving carrier, wherein the first wall portion the first support portion connects and connects to the second wall portion of the second support portion, and wherein the first support portion and second support portion inclined towards each other in the direction of the plane of symmetry upwardly. In other words, the first goods receiving carrier and / or the second goods receiving carrier seen in cross section form a first support portion and a second support portion, which are formed to support a hook / hanger hook hook, and has a receiving portion extending between the first support portion and the second support portion on. As a result, the stability of the goods receiving carrier is improved
In this context, it is also advantageous if adjoin to the inclined to each other tapered supporting portions in the direction of the plane of symmetry converging wall sections, in particular horizontal wall sections. In this way, the stability of the goods receiving carrier is further improved.
The symmetry plane of the goods receiving carrier is a plane which is spanned between the second direction (z) and a third direction (y) perpendicular to the first direction (x) and second direction (z). The first direction (x) and / or the second direction (z) can in particular run horizontally. The third direction (y) is then aligned in particular vertically. The plane of symmetry of the goods receiving carrier is therefore in particular a y-z plane.
In particular, the first goods receiving carrier and / or the second goods receiving carrier may have a cross-sectional polygonal profile which is open or recessed in the region of the receiving portion and the one lower horizontal portion, two adjoining the ends of the horizontal portion vertical portions and two adjoining the vertical sections, obliquely converging sections, which form the support sections includes.
The described profile can also form only a portion of the cross section of the goods receiving carrier. For example, the cross section of the goods receiving carrier may also have a bottom portion and in particular a flange portion for attachment of the goods receiving carrier to other structures of the storage rack (for example, at its longitudinal bars).
The first goods receiving carrier and / or the second goods receiving carrier does not necessarily have a polygonal profile or necessarily comprises straight wall sections. Rather, it is also conceivable that the first goods receiving carrier and / or the second goods receiving carrier have a cross-sectionally round profile, which is open or recessed in the region of the receiving portion upwards. The support sections and / or wall sections can therefore also be arched (convex or concave).
Preferably, the goods receiving carrier with respect to the support sections and optionally on the wall sections seen in cross section is symmetrical. The goods receiving carrier therefore has a (vertically aligned) plane of symmetry with regard to the support sections and optionally to the wall sections. However, this is not a necessary condition, the goods receiving carrier may be constructed asymmetrically with respect to the support sections and on the wall sections. It is also advantageous if the storage and retrieval device has a corresponding with the first goods receiving carrier guide, in particular on the first goods receiving carrier aufleglegende guide surfaces and / or rolling elements and / or rollers. For example, may be arranged on the projecting end of the storage and retrieval device, a rolling element, a roller or sliding in the goods receiving carrier guide stone. As a result, the stability of the storage and retrieval device, in particular during extension and retraction and especially in the fully extended state, whereby disturbing vibrations are reduced or even avoided. The guide is preferably accomplished with a roller bearing or roller that rolls on the lower surface and / or on the lateral surfaces of the profile of the first goods receiving carrier in the storage rack. In this way, the movement of the storage and retrieval device in the vertical and / or lateral direction can be limited. In principle, however, the guide could also be formed by sliding surfaces, for example by a (cuboid) body of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE or Teflon), which protrudes into the profile of the goods receiving carrier and rests on the lower surface and / or on its lateral surfaces.
It should be noted at this point that the technical teaching disclosed for guiding the insertion and removal device can also be used without the limitations of claims 1, 25 and 38 and can form the basis for a divisional application.
It is advantageous if the second goods receiving carrier at its end facing the first goods receiving carrier first and second positioning projections which protrude into the first goods receiving carrier, when the second Warenaufnaheträger is moved to the first Warenaufnaheträger, wherein - the at least one first Positionietfortsatz is arranged in that a step directed downwards from the first goods receiving carrier onto the second goods receiving carrier occurs when the first positioning extension rests on the first goods receiving carrier, in particular on a horizontal wall section of the profile, and - the at least one second positioning extension is arranged such that one from the second goods receiving carrier The first goods receiving carrier downwardly directed step is formed when the second positioning extension rests on the first goods receiving carrier, in particular on a horizontal wall portion of the profile.
In ghei, it is advantageous if the first goods receiving carrier has at its end facing the second goods receiving carrier first and second positioning projections which protrude into the second goods receiving carrier when the second goods receiving carrier moves to the first goods receiving carrier zoom is, wherein - the at least one first positioning extension is arranged so that a downwardly directed from the first goods receiving carrier to the second goods receiving stage, when the second goods receiving carrier rests on the first positioning extension, in particular a horizontal wall portion of the profile, and - the at least a second positioning extension is arranged such that a step directed downwards from the second goods receiving carrier onto the first goods receiving carrier occurs when the second goods receiving carrier rests on the second positioning extension, in particular a horizontal wall section of the profile.
As a result of the measures introduced, the second goods receiving carrier is supported vertically on the first goods receiving carrier, which as a rule is fixedly mounted in the storage rack. It is also conceivable that the second goods receiving carrier is also laterally fixed in position by appropriate design of the positioning projections or by further positioning extensions. It is advantageous if a push-through protection is mounted in the storage rack in the region of the first goods receiving carrier having an opening / extension, which cooperates with a projection / opening of the storage and retrieval device, when the storage and retrieval zoom up to the push-through is moved. Accordingly, it is advantageous if an extension / opening on the storage and retrieval device is moved into an opening / extension of a push-through safety device which is mounted in the region of the first goods receiving carrier. In particular, in the case of cantilevered loading and unloading devices, undesired movements or oscillations may occur, which naturally occur most strongly at the free end of the loading and unloading device. The movement / oscillation can take place in the x-direction and / or the y-direction. As a result of the proposed measures, a positional fixation in the x-direction and / or the y-direction is essentially achieved in the end position of the loading and unloading device.
It should be noted at this point that the technical teaching disclosed for the positioning and / or the push-through protection can also be used without the limitations of claims 1, 25 and 38 and can form the basis for a divisional application.
It is also advantageous if in the region of the first goods receiving carrier and / or the second goods receiving carrier, a blocking element is arranged, which projects in the direction of the goods receiving carrier and in particular projects into the path of movement of the hangers / hanging bags. The blocking element prevents the hangers / hanging bags unintentionally (ie without intervention of Miinahmeorgane) on the first and / or second goods receiving carrier (in the z-direction) to slip, for example by vibrations in the storage rack or by vibrations of the goods transport device. In particular, the hanger / hanging bags are moved when moving on the arranged in the region of the first and / or second goods receiving carrier blocking element, so that the hangers / hanging bags maintain the desired position. It is advantageous if the blocking element is arranged in the storage rack in the region of one end of the first goods receiving carrier, which faces the goods transport device and / or is arranged on at least one end of the second goods receiving carrier, which faces the first goods receiving carrier and / or - im History of the first goods receiving carrier is arranged.
In this way it is prevented that the goods fall off the first or second goods receiving carrier or just slip in the course of the goods receiving carrier. It is advantageous if the blocking element is formed by a brush, a rocker actuated by the goods transport device or a pin actuated by the goods transport device, which protrudes into the path of movement of the clothes hangers in the blocking position. For example, the rocker or the pin can be actuated electromagnetically or mechanically by the Warentrans-pcrtvcrήchtung. An electromagnetic actuation is particularly suitable when the blocking element is arranged on the second goods receiving carrier. If the blocking element is arranged on the first goods receiving carrier, mechanical actuations in particular come into consideration. For example, an element (for example a projection or wedge) can be arranged on the storage and retrieval device which releases the rocker arranged on the first goods receiving carrier or the pin arranged on the first goods receiving carrier during the outward movement of the loading and unloading device. In the case of a brush whose bristles are preferably designed so that they yield when moving the hanging garments / hanging bags by itself and therefore active actuation of the brush can be omitted. Nevertheless, it can be provided that the brush is actively actuated by the goods transport device.
Preferably, the brush protrudes into the receiving portion of the goods receiving carrier. For this purpose, the brush is arranged, for example, at the bottom of a groove of the goods receiving carrier, with the bristles facing upward. In this way, the goods receiving carrier, in particular over its entire length, be provided with a brush or bristles.
Generally, it is noted that the brush need not necessarily have bristles of cylindrical cross-section. Rather, it is also conceivable that the bristles may, for example, have a rectangular cross-section and therefore resemble lobes.
It should be noted at this point that the technical teaching disclosed in relation to the blocking element can also be used without the limitations of claims 1, 25 and 38 and can form the basis for a divisional application.
It is advantageous if a depth measuring sensor is arranged on the goods transport device whose detection area points in the second direction. For example, the depth-measuring sensor may be arranged on the base frame or on the in and out device of the goods transport device. With the aid of the sensor, a detection area which extends in the second direction z starting from the goods transport device can be checked for the presence of an object. If an unexpected object is detected in the detection area, an alarm signal is output. For example, unintentionally hanging goods / hanging bags or films in which the hanging goods are packed, could fall off the first goods receiving media and remain lying on underlying first goods receiving media. In this case, there could be problems during a storage or retrieval process. Preferably, the storage or retrieval process is therefore then stopped and an alarm is issued to a higher-level control. It is also conceivable that one
Extension path of the storage and retrieval device or telescoping device is measured by means of the depth sensor, that is, the input and output device or the telescoping device in the second direction (z) is positioned by means of the depth sensor.
It is furthermore advantageous if a wading detection sensor for detecting the hanging goods / hanging bags stored on the first goods receiving carrier and / or the second goods receiving carrier is arranged on the goods transport device. In particular, the hanging garments / hanging bags can be detected in terms of their number and / or type / type. For example, it is possible in this way to push a certain number of coats from the first goods receiving carrier to the second goods receiving carrier or vice versa. Similarly, it is conceivable to distinguish, for example, the coats in terms of their color or even coats of shirts. The goods detection sensor can be arranged approximately at one end of the loading and unloading device or the telescoping device, but in principle it can also be positioned elsewhere.
It should be noted at this point that the technical teaching disclosed for the depth measuring sensor and / or the wafer detection sensor can also be used without the limitations of claims 1, 25 and 38 and can form the basis for a divisional application.
In addition, it is advantageous if the goods transport device comprises at least one goods securing bracket, which is rotatably mounted on a parallel to the first direction of rotation axis of the goods transport device and which between a release position in which the goods security bracket is pivoted upwards, and a securing position in which the merchandise security bar is pivoted downwards, is adjustable, the release position allows a transfer of the hanging goods / hanging bags between the first goods receiving carrier and the second goods receiving carrier and held the hanging garments / hanging bags in the securing position in a secure area below the goods transport device and in particular compressed. Accordingly, the at least one goods securing bracket, which is rotatably mounted on the goods transport device about a rotation axis aligned parallel to the first direction, is pivoted upward during transfer of the hanging goods / hanging bags between the first goods receiving carrier and the second goods receiving carrier into a release position and during transport on the second Warenaufnahmettägergela-leaned hanging garments / hanging bags in the first direction down to a securing position. This avoids or at least reduces the swinging or fluttering of the hanging garments / hanging pockets during (faster) travel of the goods transport device in the x direction. By variable inclination of the merchandise security bracket, these can be adapted in particular to different amounts of the hanging goods / hanging bags to be transported on the second goods receiving carrier.
It is particularly advantageous if the axis of rotation of the at least one article securing bracket is displaceably mounted on the goods transport device in the second direction. By moving the merchandise security strap, it can be adapted particularly well to different quantities of the hanging goods / hanging bags to be transported on the second merchandise receptacle.
In general, the hanging goods / hanging bags stored on the second goods receiving carrier can be held in the securing position of the at least one goods securing bracket only by a pivoting movement of the at least one goods securing bracket or by a combined pivoting and linear movement of the at least one goods securing bracket in a securing area underneath the goods transporting device and / or squeezed there.
In addition, it is particularly advantageous if the axis of rotation of the goods security bracket is moved when pivoting in the release position in the second direction to the center of the goods transport device and is moved to the outside of the goods transport device during pivoting in the securing position in the second direction. Accordingly, the goods transport device comprises means for carrying out a combined pivoting and linear movement of the at least one goods securing bracket. The space required for pivoting the item securing bracket laterally in the z-direction is very small in this embodiment variant, while the space between the item-securing bracket is very large. Accordingly, a large number of hanging goods / hanging bags can be secured with this variant of the goods transport device without the goods security bracket has to be pivoted beyond the goods transport device, which could lead to collisions with the first goods receiving carrier or stored there hanging garments / hanging bags. For example, a controller can be used for the execution of the combined pivoting and linear movement of the goods security bracket, which is connected for this purpose with the drive motors for the pivoting and linear movement.
The drive of the anti-theft device can be carried out electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically. To limit the force with which the hanging goods / hanging bags are compressed, the current of an electric drive motor or the pressure of a pneumatic cylinder / hydraulic cylinder can be limited. Of course, Kraffsensoren can be used to measure the force with which the hanging goods / hanging bags are compressed. Several anti-theft devices may be powered by separate motors or by a motor coupled to the anti-theft devices.
It should be noted at this point that the technical teaching disclosed for the anti-theft device can also be used without the limitations of claims 1, 25 and 38 and can form the basis for a divisional application. It is advantageous if the storage rack comprises vertical front rack members, vertical rear rack members, horizontal front longitudinal beams which are attached to the front shelf uprights, and horizontal rear longitudinal beams which are attached to the rear shelf uprights, wherein the first goods receiving carriers each in a storage level extend horizontally in the depth direction of the storage rack between the front longitudinal beams and rear longitudinal beams and are secured thereto. As a result, the storage rack can be constructed with low material costs.
In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the hanging goods / hanging bags are moved by means of the storage and retrieval between a storage area associated goods receiving carrier and a goods transport device associated goods receiving carrier, wherein the goods receiving media remain in the storage areas in the storage rack. Accordingly, the hanging garments / hanging bags are manipulated between the goods receiving carriers of the storage area and the goods transporting device. The hanging wares / hanging bags can either be moved relative to the goods receiving media or raised / lowered relative to the goods receiving media. The hanger is used with his / her hook not only the hanging of the hanging goods, but also the transport. The proposed measures also a Einzelzugriifoder group access to the hanging / hanging bags is possible, thereby picking orders are processed efficiently, since only the number of hanging / hanging bags must be outsourced, which is also needed, and not the complete number of hanging / hanging bags, the stored on a goods receiving carrier. In addition, fixing means for the first goods receiving carrier in the storage area are not required, which also allows a compact and inexpensive construction of the storage shelves can be realized.
If the hanging garments / hanging bags are stored in the respective storage area on a goods receiving carrier as hanging garment groups / hanging bag groups, a large number of hanging garments / hanging bags can be stored in a storage rack in the existing storage volume and the goods transport device can be used particularly efficiently. A particularly high storage performance and / or removal performance is also achieved when the hanging goods / hanging bags are transported between the storage area and the goods transport device or between the transfer and / or transfer station and the goods transport device and on the goods transport device as a hanging garment group / bag group.
It is also advantageous if the hanging garments / hanging bags are taken over by a goods receiving carrier at a transfer station prior to insertion into the storage rack and are transferred to a take-up carrier after removal from the storage rack at a transfer station, and if the hanging garments / hanging bags are taken over and / or transfer by means of the storage and retrieval device between the goods receiving means associated with the goods transport device and the transfer and / or transfer station associated goods receiving carrier are moved, wherein the goods receiving carrier at the transfer and / or transfer station in the transfer and / or transfer station remains , The transfer station and transfer station can be arranged on either side of the goods transport device or form a combined transfer and transfer station, which is arranged on one side of the goods transport device. The hanging garments / hanging bags are manipulated between the goods receiving carriers of the goods transport device and the transfer or transfer station. The hanging goods / hanging bags can either be moved relative to the goods receiving media or raised / lowered relative to the goods receiving media. The above benefits apply mutatis mutandis.
It is also advantageous if the hanging garments / hanging bags on the goods receiving carriers each define a hanging plane, which run in a direction perpendicular to the goods receiving media. The plane of the hanging goods / hanging bags is thus thus spanned by one through the first direction (x) and the third direction (y) and thus aligned parallel to the direction of travel of the goods transport device. Thus, the driving resistance can be reduced if the hanging goods / hanging bags are moved with the goods transport device in the direction of travel. This is mainly because a luff flow is possible between the hanging goods / hanging bags. The goods transport device can thus be operated even more dynamically in the direction of travel, whereby the system performance is increased.
According to another measure of the invention, it is provided that the hanging garments / hanging bags are each stored and transported with a defined distance from each other on the goods receiving carrier. As a result, the Luftzirkularicn is favored between the hanging goods / hanging bags, and the hanging goods / hanging bags or stored in the hanging bags goods do not wrinkle.
It is also advantageous if the storage areas and the goods transport device is associated with a goods receiving carrier, and when the storage and retrieval device, the hanging goods / hanging bags between one of the goods receiving carrier for the storage areas and the goods receiving carrier for the goods transport device are moved, the goods receiving carrier in the Storage areas remain in the storage rack.
Another advantage is an embodiment of the invention, in which the storage system connects to a goods distribution system, comprising - a transfer station to which to be stored hanging goods / hanging bags are picked up by the goods transport device, and - a transfer station, are issued to which outsourced hanging goods / hanging bags in which the transfer station is equipped with at least one goods receiving carrier and / or the transfer station with at least one goods receiving carrier, and wherein the hanging goods / hanging bags between the goods receiving carrier assigned to the goods transporter and / or transfer by means of the loading and unloading device be moved to the transfer and / or transfer station associated goods receiving carrier.
According to one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the goods receiving carrier are arranged parallel to the second direction (z-direction), wherein the hanging garments / hanging pockets on the goods receiving carriers each define a hanging plane, which extend in a direction perpendicular to the goods receiving media.
It is also particularly advantageous if the insertion and removal device comprises at least one telescopic unit arranged on the base frame with a support frame and rails adjustable relative to the support frame, with the rail having the largest range of movement (in the second direction z) being provided with support members , By the telescopic arrangement and deep storage areas can be achieved.
It is also advantageous in the above context, when the rail with the largest range of motion (in the z direction) is equipped with a traction means, which are coupled to a drive and arranged on the Mretnahmeorgane at a mutual distance, which can engage behind the hangers / hanging bags , Following this design, the settling and removal times can be optimized.
It also proves advantageous if - the fixed storage rack in the stacked storage levels and within the storage areas parallel to the second direction (z-direction) with mutually spaced guide rails comprises, and - the goods transport device attached to the base frame and parallel to the second direction ( z-direction) with mutually spaced extending guide rails, - wherein the storage and retrieval device is designed as a storage and retrieval vehicle, which via a chassis (for example rollers) between the goods transport device and a storage area in the storage rack on the guide rails movable and which with a Goods receiving carrier is equipped, wherein the goods receiving carrier grips one or more hangers / hanging bags and can move the hanging goods / hanging bags between the storage area and the goods transport device.
In this case, the storage and retrieval device is positioned on the goods receiving carrier of the storage rack and transfer of hanging garments / hanging bags on the goods receiving carrier of Warenentnahmettäger the goods Tran-pcrtvcrήchtung in the z-direction above the goods receiving carrier in the storage rack at the transfer of hanging goods / hanging bags. The transfer or takeover movement is a vertical movement, so that the hanging goods / hanging bags are lowered or raised relative to the goods receiving carrier of the storage rack. For a reliable Übergabe- or take over the hanging goods / hanging bags is achieved.
The storage and retrieval device can thus be formed by a self-propelled storage and retrieval vehicle (a so-called channel vehicle) for moving the hanging goods / hanging bags between the first goods receiving carrier and the second goods receiving carrier in the z direction in the storage rack respectively in the storage areas of Storage shelves drives. However, the second goods receiving carrier is arranged on the goods transport device. There is not necessarily any mechanical connection between the x-direction movable goods transporting device and the "canoeing vehicle" movable in the z-direction when the channeling vehicle is (fully) retracted into the rack. In particular, however, there may be an electrical connection between the goods trans-pcrtvcrrichtung and the channel vehicle, for example via a trailing cable. In particular, the "channel vehicle" can be received on the goods transport device and transported by this in the x direction. The "Kanalfahrzefg" forms in this case a "subsidiary vehicle", the goods transcripter acts as a "parent vehicle".
Finally, it is also advantageous if the goods transport device is a Einbenenregalbediengerät and the storage system has some Einbenenregalbediengeräte, each Einbenenregalbediengerät is provided with the insertion and removal device and the Einbenenregalbediengerät a storage level operated the storage areas in this storage level. In this case, at least one single-level rack operating device or at least one single-level rack operating device can be provided for each storage level in each case only in some of the storage levels. By decoupling the storage and retrieval processes of several single-level rack operating devices, maximum storage and retrieval performance can be achieved.

By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, wherein the disclosures contained in the entire description can be mutatis mutandis to the same parts with the same reference numerals or component names. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the immediately described and illustrated figure and to transmit mutatis mutandis to the new situation in a change in position.
1 shows a first embodiment of an automated storage system 1 for storing hanging goods 2 (hereinafter referred to as hanging wares) and an automated goods distribution system 3 in a perspective view. The goods 2 are, for example, garments hanging on hangers 4. The goods distribution system 3 comprises the handover and transfer tables 14, 15 and the vertical conveyor 18 described below. It should be noted that the vertical conveyor 18 is only partially shown for reasons of clarity. Also, the goods receiving carrier 16 of the transfer and transfer station 14, 15 shown for reasons of clarity only in one of the storage levels.
The storage system 1 comprises according to the embodiment shown storage shelves 5 and in superimposed driving levels 6 in front of the storage shelves 5 in a first direction (x-direction) independently movable goods transport devices 7. The goods transport devices 7 are used to store the goods 2 in the storage rack 5 or outsourcing the goods 2 from the storage rack 5. In Fig. 1, for reasons of clarity, only a single goods transport device 7 is shown. By the way, such a storage system 1 is provided with a goods transport device 7 in each driving plane 6. But there may also be less goods transport devices 7 than driving levels 6, in which case the goods transport devices 7 can be implemented via a lifting device, not shown, between the driving levels 6.
The storage racks 5 comprise vertical front rack 8, vertical rear rack 9, front longitudinal beams 10, rear longitudinal beams 11 and goods receiving carrier 12. The front longitudinal beams 10 extend horizontally in the x direction and are attached to the front uprights 8, wherein the paired opposing front Longitudinal beams 10 each form a driving plane 6, along which the goods transport device 7 is moved. The front longitudinal beams 10 thus form each driving plane 6 guide rails for the goods transport device 7. The rear longitudinal beams 11 extend horizontally in the x direction and are attached to the rear uprights 9.
The goods receiving carrier 12 each extend in a storage plane 13 horizontally in the depth direction of the storage rack 5 (z-direction) between the front longitudinal beams 10 and rear longitudinal beams 11, the goods 2 are hung on the clothes hanger 4 on the goods receiving media 12. The goods receiving carrier 12 are fixedly arranged in the storage rack 5, for example, screwed to the longitudinal bars 10, 11 The storage rack 5 and the goods receiving carrier 12 but can also be mobile when the storage rack 5 is for example on rollers. Each goods receiving carrier 12 forms a storage space, wherein a plurality of goods 2 can be stored at a storage location. Thus, each storage rack 1 forms in the superimposed storage levels 13 each side by side a plurality of storage spaces or storage areas.
As schematically shown in FIG. 1, the storage system 1 further comprises a transfer station 14, along which the front longitudinal beams 10 run per driving plane 6 and on which hanging garments 2 to be stored are picked up by the goods transfer device 7, and a transfer station 15 along which run the front longitudinal beams 10 per driving plane 6 and at which outsourced hanging garments 2 are delivered from the goods transport device 7. The transfer and transfer stations 14, 15 serve as buffers between a vertical conveyor 18 and the goods transport device 7.
In this embodiment, the transfer station 14 and transfer station 15 per storage level 13 at least one goods receiving carrier 16. However, it is also possible to provide more than one goods receiving carrier 16. For example, the transfer station 14 and transfer station 15 per storage level 13 may have two goods receiving carrier 16. If the transfer station 14 and transfer station 15 are arranged on both sides of the goods transport device 7, a goods receiving carrier 16 is arranged in the transfer station 14 and per storage plane 13 a goods receiving carrier 16 in the Ü bernahmesta tion 15 per storage level 13. Such a design is particularly advantageous when high performance is required.
The goods receiving carrier 16 of the transfer station 14 are respectively via an actuator between a receiving position (as shown in dotted lines) and a transfer position (as entered in full lines) adjustable, wherein in the receiving position Ware 2 of a still closer to be described vertical conveyor 18 on the goods receiving medium 16 taken over and can be handed over in the transfer position goods 2 from the goods receiving carrier 16 to the goods transport device 7.
The actuator comprises a via a Anthebsmotor (not shown) about a vertical axis rotatable mounting plate 19, on which the at least one goods receiving carrier 16 is mounted. The at least one goods receiving carrier 16 extends in the receiving position parallel to the goods receiving media 12 and in the transfer position perpendicular to the goods receiving media 12th
The goods receiving carrier 16 of the transfer station 15 are each an actuator between a takeover position (as entered in full lines) and a delivery position (as shown in dotted lines) adjustable, being taken over in the transfer position goods 2 of the goods transport device 7 on the goods receiving carrier 16 and in the delivery position, product 2 can be transferred from the goods receiving carrier 16 to a vertical conveyor 18, which will be described later. The actuator comprises a via a Anthebsmotor (not shown) about a vertical axis rotatable mounting plate 19, on which the at least one goods receiving carrier 16 is mounted. The at least one goods receiving carrier 16 extends in the transfer position parallel to the goods receiving media 12 and in the delivery position perpendicular to the goods receiving media 12th
The goods receiving carrier 16 of the transfer or transfer station 14, 15 is designed according to the embodiment shown as the goods receiving carrier 12 of the storage rack 5.
The VertikaLff ^ c ^ terer 18 connects the storage levels 13 with at least one conveyor level and is arranged in the extension of the storage shelves 5. In this case, the first vertical element 18 can be arranged frontally before the transfer station 14 and the second vertical conveyor 18 can be arranged at the front side before the transfer station 15. On the other hand, the first vertical conveyor 18 can also be arranged integrally in the first storage rack 5 and the second vertical conveyor 18 in the second storage rack 5, so that in the x-direction before and after the vertical conveyor 18 bins are arranged, as is not shown.
The vertical conveyors 18 each comprise a guide frame 21, a lifting and lowering lifting frame 22, at least one goods receiving carrier 23 and a goods transfer device 24. The at least one goods receiving carrier 23 is attached to the lifting frame 22 and extends parallel to the x-direction. The goods receiving carrier 23 of the vertical conveyor 18 is designed according to the embodiment shown as the goods receiving carrier 12 of the storage rack 5.
The product 2 can be conveyed by means of the goods transfer device 24 between the goods receiving carrier 16 of the transfer or transfer station 14, 15 and the goods receiving carrier 23 on the vertical conveyor 18. It can also be provided that the goods 2 are conveyed by means of the goods transfer device 24 between the goods receiving carrier 23 on the vertical conveyor 18 and a goods receiving carrier 25 of a conveyor 26, 27.
The guide frame 21 is formed by vertical frame parts, a lower cross-piece connecting them to one another and an upper cross-piece connecting them to one another. The vertical frame parts are each provided with a guide device on which the lifting frame 22 is mounted on guide members. Preferably, the guide members are formed by guide wheels, which rest on guideways of the guide device unrolling.
The lifting frame 22 is coupled to a Verstellvcmchtung, which according to the embodiment shown a mounted on the guide frame 21 traction drive 28 and at least one lifting drive 29 includes. The traction mechanism drive 28 comprises synchronously driven, endlessly circulating traction means which are respectively guided around an (upper) deflecting wheel and a (lower) Antnebs wheel coupled with the lifting drive. The traction means is formed for example by a toothed belt, a chain or the like. The lifting drive 29 is preferably formed by an electric motor, in particular an asynchronous motor, synchronous motor and the like, and mounted on the guide frame 21. By rotational movement of the drive wheels, the lifting frame 22 is moved with the goods receiving carrier 23 relative to the storage levels 13 in the vertical direction (y-direction).
The first vertical conveyor 18 connects to a first conveyor system for transporting goods 2 and the second vertical conveyor 18 connects to a second conveyor system for transporting goods 2. The first conveyor 26 and second conveyor 27 are preferably operated automatically.
In FIGS. 2 and 3, the front longitudinal beams 10 of one of the driving levels 6, the goods transporting device 7 and a storage space with a first goods receiving carrier 12 are shown in a perspective view. Fig. 2 shows a state in which the goods 2 are located in the area of the goods transporting device 7, and Fig. 3 shows a state in which the goods 2 are transferred to the first goods receiving carrier 12 of the storage bin.
The goods transport device 7, according to this embodiment, is formed by a single-level rack operating device and has a base frame 30, wheels 31, a traction motor 32, an infeed and outfeed device 33 and a second goods receiving carrier 34. The Laufr ^ wheels 31 are arranged on the two longitudinal sides of the base frame 30. The base frame 30 is shown broken away in Figures 2 and 3, so that the view into the interior of the goods transport device 7 is made possible.
The drive comprises, according to a possible first embodiment, the wheels 31, the electric traction motor 32, drive shafts 35a, 35b and a belt drive not explicitly shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Via the drive shaft 35a, the rear wheels 31 are driven. At the same time, the driving power of the traveling motor 32 is transmitted by means of a belt drive to the drive shaft 35b and thus to the front wheels 31. Of course, it is also conceivable that only the rear wheels 31 are driven, whereby the belt drive and possibly also the drive shaft 35b can be omitted. It is also conceivable that depending on a driven wheel 31 each a drive motor 32 is associated.
As can be seen from Figures 2 and 3, the second goods receiving carrier 34 is designed as a lifting bar, which extends in the z-direction and is adjustable by means of an adjusting device between a basic position and a first / second transfer position. The Verstellvcrrichtung comprises a pivot lever 36 (see the detailed view D), which is rotatably supported by means of an axis 37 on a (not shown) frame profile of the base frame 30. At its lower end, the pivot lever 36 is rotatably connected to the second goods receiving carrier 34 by means of an axle 38. At its end facing the motor 39, the second goods receiving carrier 34 is mounted with a similar construction. By means of a belt 40, the driving force of the motor 39 is transmitted to the two pivot lever 36, whereby the second goods receiving carrier 34 performs a combined lifting movement in y-direction and a movement to the first goods receiving carrier 12 towards the z-direction upon rotation of the pivot lever 36.
According to this embodiment, the loading and unloading device 33 comprises a telescoping unit arranged on the base frame 30 and extendable from a starting position in both directions so that goods 2 can be stored or goods 2 can be stored in the storage shelves 7 arranged on both sides of the goods transport device 7 , The telescoping unit has in this example relative to a support frame horizontally in the z-direction on or. extendable rails 41,42, 43 on.
The first rail 41 is slidably mounted on the support frame, the second rail 42 is slidably mounted on the first rail 41, and the third rail 43 is slidably mounted on the second rail 42. The first rail 40 can be moved relative to the support frame with a drive device mounted on the support frame. The Antriebsvcrrichtung comprises a telescopic piermotor 44 and an endless circulating traction means 45, which is formed for example by a toothed belt, a chain or the like. With the help of the telescoping motor 44 and the traction means 45, the first rail 40 is extended depending on the direction of rotation of the telescoping motor 44 either in the z-direction or against the z-direction.
The second rail 42 and the third rail 43 are coupled in motion with the first rail 41, so that a movement of the first rail 40 in the z-direction causes a telescopic extension or retraction of the second rail 42 and the third rail 43. A telescopic extension and retraction of an arm is known in principle and will therefore be explained below only in its basic features.
For example, a first belt is deflected about a (front) first roller mounted on the first rail 41 and fastened with its first end to the support frame and with its second end to the second rail 42. A second belt is deflected about a (second) rear roller mounted on the first rail 41 and fixed at its first end to the support frame and at its second end to the second rail 42. If the first rail 41 is moved by the telescoping motor 44, then the second rail 42 is also moved by way of the belts mentioned, that is, either extended or retracted.
Further, another belt is deflected around a (front) first roller mounted on the second rail 42 and fixed at its first end to the first rail 41 and at its second end to the third rail 43. A second belt is deflected about a (second) rear roller mounted on the second rail 41 and fixed at its first end to the first rail 41 and at its second end to the third rail 43. Thus, with the movement of the second rail 42, the third rail 43 is also moved by means of said belts, ie either on or extended.
Of course, the principle presented is not limited to three rails 41, 42, 43, but can be applied to any other number of rails.
The storage and retrieval device 33 or the telescoping unit is coupled to an adjustment device, by means of which the storage and retrieval device 33 or the telescoping unit can be adjusted in the y-direction between a release position and an actuation position. For this purpose, the storage and retrieval device 33 and the telescoping unit is slidably mounted in this embodiment in two vertical guides 46a, 46b in the y-direction and can be moved up and down with the lifting motors 47a, 47b. The storage and retrieval device 33 or the telescoping unit can thus be moved in the z-direction and / or in the y-direction.
In the illustrated example, the lifting motors 47a, 47b are designed as rotary motors. However, this is not a necessary requirement, but the lifting motors 47a, 47b can also be designed as linear motors, that is, for example, as electromagnetic linear actuators, Pneumatikzyllcιddtoder hydraulic cylinders.
In the release position Miinahmeorgane Miinahme the hanger 4 are moved out of the path of movement of the hanger 4 out. In the operating position, the Miinahmeorgane are moved into the path of movement of the hanger 4, so that the Miinahmeorgane engage behind the hanger 4 of the product 2 and move them in a movement of the input and Auslagervorrichtung 33 and the telescoping unit in the z-direction. The Miinahmeorgane are not shown concretely in Figures 2 and 3, but are explained in more detail in the context of Figures 517.
It is advantageous if the goods transport device 7 is equipped with a goods transport safety device which fixes the goods 2 suspended on the goods receiving carrier 34 via hangers 4 during the movement travel of the goods transport device 7 in the z direction. This can be an undesirable fluttering and twisting of the goods 2 relative to the goods receiving carrier 34 during the movement travel of the goods transport device 7 in the z-direction limited or avoided. Optionally, the product 2 may also be slightly compressed for this purpose in order to enhance the effect mentioned yet.
The goods transport safety device can, for example, have pivotable, L-shaped goods securing fingers, which are arranged on opposite longitudinal sides of the goods transport device 7 and, for example, about an axis of rotation running in the z-direction (or also in the y-direction or x-direction).
Direction extending axis of rotation) are pivotally mounted. Such goods security fingers are shown schematically in FIG.
In the release position, the goods securing fingers are moved out of the movement path of the goods 2 running in the z-direction. In the securing position, the goods securing fingers are moved into the movement path of the goods 2 running in the z-direction, so that the goods-securing fingers engage behind either the hangers 4 or the goods 2. If goods 2 between the goods transport device 7 and the storage rack 5 or the Warentranssortvorrichtung 7 and the transfer or transfer station 14, 15 promoted, so the goods security finger are moved to the release position.
The Warentranssortsicherung can for example also be formed by arranged on opposite longitudinal sides of the goods transport device 7, U-shaped goods securing bracket, which are pivotally mounted about an axis of rotation extending in the x direction (see also Fig. 30-33).
In the release position, these merchandise securing stirrups are in turn moved out of the movement path of the goods 2 running in the z-direction. In the securing position, the goods security straps are moved in the direction of movement of the goods 2 running in the z direction, so that the goods security straps engage behind the goods 2. If goods 2 are conveyed between the goods transporting device 7 and the storage rack 5 or the goods transporting device 7 and the transfer or transfer station 14, 15, then the goods security clamps are moved into the release position beforehand.
Both the goods securing fingers mounted about a rotation axis extending in the z-direction and the goods securing straps mounted about an axis of rotation extending in the x-direction can, depending on how many goods 2 are stored on the second goods receiving carrier 34, be pivoted more or less inwardly to securely fix the goods 2, even if only a few goods 2 are stored on the second goods receiving carrier 34.
It is also conceivable that the axes of rotation of the goods security finger or the goods security bracket are mounted displaceably in the z direction, so that the goods security finger or goods security bracket can be moved in or out, whereby the fixation or release of the goods 2 is even better. It is also conceivable, in particular, for the pivot axes to move inward during a pivoting movement of the item securing finger or the item securing bow (ie, from the securing position to the basic position) and toward the inside during a pivotal movement of the item securing finger or item securing tab (ie, from the basic position to the securing position). be moved to the outside. In this way, the area in which the goods security fingers or goods security straps are moved laterally beyond the goods transport device 7, be kept low. In an advantageous embodiment, the goods securing fingers or goods security straps are not moved laterally beyond the goods transport device 7 (see also FIG. 33).
4 now shows a cross section AA through the goods receiving carrier 12a and the third rail 43, wherein in particular the rail 43 is shown simplified.
The first goods receiving carrier 12a has a first support portion 48a and a second support portion 48b, which extend in the longitudinal direction of the first goods receiving carrier 12a at a mutual distance and are designed to support a hanger 4. Furthermore, the first goods receiving carrier 12a has a receiving portion 49, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the first goods receiving carrier 12a between the first support portion 48a and second support portion 48b and forms a longitudinal slot opening in the direction of the support portions 48a, 48b
In other words, the first goods receiving carrier 12a, viewed in cross-section, forms a first support portion 48a and a second support portion 48b, which are configured to support a garment hanger 4, and has a receiving portion 49 extending between the first support portion 48a and the second support portion 48b.
The inclined converging support portions 48a, 48b form tendons, in particular, of a curve forming the hook of the hanger 4. In other words, the inclined support portions 48a, 48b are then configured in terms of their inclination and length so that they touch the hook of the hanger 4 at two and thus a total of four points.
In the example shown, the first goods receiving carrier 12a additionally has a first wall section 50a and a second wall section 50b, which extend in the longitudinal direction of the first goods receiving carrier 12a and parallel to a symmetry plane (yz-plane) aligned substantially vertically to the respective storage plane (xy-plane) ) of the goods receiving carrier 12a, wherein the first support portion 48a connects to the first wall portion 50a and connects the second support portion 48b to the second wall portion 50b, and the first support portion 48a and the second support portion 48b move upwards in the direction of the plane of symmetry (yz plane) inclined towards each other.
In addition, according to this embodiment, in the direction of the plane of symmetry (y-z plane), inclined wall portions 51a, 51b converge toward the tapered support portions 48a, 48b. These wall sections 51a, 51b are oriented horizontally in this example, but could also be oriented differently.
Finally, the profile of the first goods receiving carrier 12a has a bottom section 52 and an optional flange section 53. With the aid of the flange portion 53, the first goods receiving carrier 12a may be mounted in the storage rack 5, in particular on a front longitudinal beam 10 and a rear longitudinal beam 11. Accordingly, this forms in this example by the sections 48a, 48b, 49, 50a, 50b, 51a, 51b and 52 (symmetrical about the plane of symmetry) described profile only a portion of the cross section of the first goods receiving medium 12a.
In Fig. 4, finally, a Miinahmeorgan 54 for Miinahme the hanger 4 is shown, specifically in the operating position in which the Miinahmeorgan 54 protrudes into the receiving portion 49 and thus in the path of movement
Hanger 4 protrudes, so that the Mrtnahmeorgane 54 engage behind the hanger 4 of the product 2 and move it in a movement of the storage and retrieval device 33 and the telescoping unit in the z-direction with.
Fig. 5 shows the arrangement shown in Fig. 4 in a further state, specifically in the release position in which the Mrtnahmeorgane 54 are withdrawn from the receiving portion 49 and thus from the path of movement of the hanger 4. The Mrtnahmeorgane 54 do not engage behind the hanger 4 of the product 2 in this state, whereby and these are not moved even with a movement of the storage and retrieval device 33 and the telescoping unit in the z-direction.
The vertical adjustment between the release position and the actuation position is effected in this example by moving the infeed and outfeed device 33 or the telescoping unit in the y-direction with the aid of the lifting motors 47a, 47b. In principle, however, the change between the release position and the actuation position can also take place in a different manner (see also FIGS. 6 to 8).
In the concrete example shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the receiving members 54 are formed by pin-shaped extensions pointing in the direction of the first goods receiving carrier 12a. In concrete terms, the receiving members 54 point downwards and can be moved into the receiving portion 49 from above. The pick-up members 54 are also rotationally symmetric in this example and taper toward the first pick-up tray 12a at a downward direction. In this way, the Mrtnahmeorgane 54 can be moved into the operating position even if they run onto a hook of a hanger 4, as it is pushed by the tapered (here conical) part to the side.
In the example shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the adjustment between the release position and the actuation position is accomplished by displacing the third rail 43. In the example shown in Fig. 6, however, said adjustment takes place by a rotational movement. For this purpose is a
Swivel plate 55 rotatably supported about a rotation axis 56 on the third rail 43. Fig. 6 shows the arrangement both in the release position, in which the pivot plate 55 is pivoted upward (solid lines), as well as in the operating position in which the pivot plate 55 is pivoted downwards (dashed lines).
In addition, the profile of the first goods receiving carrier 12b in FIG. 6 is designed somewhat differently than the profile of the first goods receiving carrier 12a of FIGS. 4 and 5. The profile is no longer open in the narrower sense but has a depression 57 into which the receiving organs 54 can protrude. The receiving portion 49 is thus formed groove-shaped.
The receiving portion 49 (engaging portion) or longitudinal slot can therefore be open or recessed upwards and in particular be formed groove-shaped.
In the examples shown so far, the adjustment between the release position and the actuating position by moving the third rail 43 or by moving the pivot plate 55. However, these are not the only conceivable Mögllchkeiten. In the example shown in Fig. 7, the said adjustment is effected by a movement (here displacement) of the entrainment members 54 relative to the third rail 43, which is shaped somewhat differently in this example. For example, the receiving organs 54 can be pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically retracted and extended. Fig. 7 shows the arrangement in the operating position.
In addition, the profile of the first goods receiving carrier 12c in FIG. 7 is designed somewhat differently than the profile of the first goods receiving carrier 12b from FIG. 6. The profile does not have an edged groove but has a rounded depression or bead 57, into which the receiving organs 54 can protrude.
FIG. 8 shows the arrangement already shown in FIG. 7 in the release position, in which the receiving members 54 have moved into the third rail 43.
In the example shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a vertical adjustment of the third rail 3 and / or the loading and unloading device 33 is not absolutely necessary, since the receiving members 54 are movable relative to the third rail 43. That is, the vertical guide 46a 46b and the lifting motors 47a, 47b may be omitted in this case. Nevertheless, a vertical adjustment of the third rail 3 or the insertion and removal device 33 is also conceivable in the example shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.
It should be noted at this point that the lifting motors 47a, 47b of the loading and unloading device 33 and / or the receiving members 54 may be limited in terms of the force with which they are moved downwards. For this purpose, a motor current may be limited or the pressure of a pneumatic or hydraulic actuation. In this way, it is prevented from being damaged when a take-down member 54 hits the hook of a garment hanger 4 which does not deviate laterally during the downward movement, and the motor current or the pressure can also be measured and to that extent Instead of measuring the motor current or the pressure, it is also possible to evaluate the (vertical) position of the driver 54. If a driver 54 does not reach a predetermined (vertical) position, in particular within a predetermined time, then can also be concluded that a Kolllsionssi-situation before ^ gt
In the case of a Kolllsionssituaticn can be provided that the drive in question is reduced and, where appropriate, an alarm is triggered or other measures are taken, such as the measures described in Figures 14 to 16, unless they are already executed by default (ie even if not Presentation of a collation technique).
Of course, what has been said does not only apply to the lifting motors 47a, 47b and drives of the receiving organs 54, but also to all motors in the storage system 1 or on the goods transport device 7. Accordingly, the drives used there can be in particular electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically limited in terms of the driving force , and monitored for the Antrrebs-. Likewise, the position of a moving part of the goods transport device 7 can be determined and evaluated. Optionally, a drive may also be designed as a linear motor, that is, for example, as a spindle motor, pneumatic cylinder or hydraulic cylinder.
In summary, the first goods receiving carrier 12 in Figures 1 to 8 has a polygonal profile seen in cross section, which is open or recessed in the region of the receiving portion 49 upwards and that a lower horizontal portion 52, two at the ends of the horizontal portion 52 subsequent vertical portions 50a, 50b and two adjacent to the vertical portions 50a, 50b, obliquely running on each other sections forming the support portions 48a, 48b comprises.
9 clearly shows that the profile of the first goods receiving carrier 12d is not necessarily angular and shows a goods receiving carrier 12d, which has a round profile seen in cross section, which is open in the region of the receiving portion 49 upwards
Also in this case, the first goods receiving carrier 12d has a first support portion 48a and a second support portion 48b which are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the first goods receiving carrier 12 and formed to support a chafer 4, and one Receiving portion 49 which extends in the longitudinal direction of the first goods receiving carrier 12 between the first support portion 48a and second support portion 48b and forms a in the direction of the support portions 48a, 48b opening longitudinal slot. These support sections 48a, 48b also run inclined towards each other.
Fig. 10 shows a first goods receiving carrier 12e which is very similar to the first goods receiving carrier 12d shown in Fig. 9. In contrast, the profile is not open in the narrower sense, but has a recess 57 or groove. The recess 57 is executed in this example in profile square, but it could also, as in Fig. 8, be rounded.
The storage and retrieval device 33 and in the illustrated embodiment, in particular the third rail 43 may have a corresponding with the first goods receiving carrier 12 guide to improve the stability of the storage and retrieval device 33, in particular in the extended state and to avoid vibrations as far as possible.
In this connection, FIG. 11 shows an example in which the third rail 43 is guided laterally or in the x-direction in the first goods receiving carrier 12b. Specifically, a roller bearing 58, which runs in the groove 57, fixed by means of an axis 59 to the third rail 43, in particular in the region of the most projecting point (ie at that end, the 33 in the extended state of the storage and retrieval device farthest from the frame 30 of the goods transport device 7 is removed). In this example, the guide with the roller bearing 58 is formed, but in principle the guide could also be formed by sliding surfaces, for example by a (cuboid) body of poly-tetraflourethylene (PTFE or Teflon), which projects into the groove 57 and at the lateral surfaces rests.
FIG. 12 shows another example of a guide of the loading and unloading device 33 in the first goods receiving carrier 12b. In this example, the third rail 43 is guided vertically or in the y-direction in the first goods receiving carrier 12b. Specifically, a rolling bearing 58, which is connected by means of the bearing holder 60 with the third rail 43, at the bottom of the groove 57. The roller bearing 58 is again in particular in the region of the most projecting point on the third rail 43 attached (ie at that end which, in the extended state of the storage and retrieval device 33, is farthest from the frame 30 of the goods transport device 7). In this example, the guide is again formed with a roller bearing 58, but in principle the guide could also be formed by sliding surfaces, for example by a (cuboid) body of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE or Teflon), which projects into the groove 57 and rests against the groove base ,
Of course, the slider could rest on the lateral surfaces and the bottom of the groove 57, whereby both a lateral and vertical guidance of the
Storage and retrieval device 33 is achieved. Similarly, it is conceivable to combine the guide shown in FIG. 11 with the guide shown in FIG. 12 in order to effect guidance in the x-direction and in the y-direction.
Finally, FIG. 13 shows an example in which the loading and unloading device 33 and the third rail 43 are guided with the aid of a single roller bearing 58 in lateral as well as vertical direction. The roller bearing 58, which in turn is fastened to the third rail 43 by means of an axle 59, has for this purpose lateral lugs which prevent a movement of the loading and unloading device 33 and the third rail 43 in the y-direction. Again, it would be imaginable to realize the guidance with the help of a sliding block, which also has a widening at the top and bottom.
In general, the statements made in connection with the first goods receiving carrier 12 also apply without restriction to the second goods receiving carrier 34. That means, in particular, that the second goods receiving carrier 34 may have the same profile as the first goods receiving carrier 12 (but possibly without flange portion 53) and in particular also that the Storage and retrieval device 33 may be stored in the forms described in the second goods receiving carrier 34.
FIG. 14 now shows a simplified side view of a first goods receiving carrier 12 with a plurality of goods 2 suspended on hangers 4 and a loading and unloading device 33 in the form of a third rail 43 with collecting devices 54 in the release position.
Fig. 15 shows the arrangement shown in Fig. 14 in the operating position. The third rail 43 with the Miinahmeorganen 54 is adjusted vertically downwards for this purpose. The Miinahmeorgane 54 thus protrude into the receiving portion 49 and in the path of movement of the hanger 4, so that the Miinahmeorgane 54 engage behind the hanger 4 of the product 2 and move it with a movement of the storage and retrieval device 33 and the telescoping unit in the z-direction ,
In FIGS. 14 and 15, the receiving members 54 of the loading and unloading device 33 are positioned between the hangers 4 so that they can not collide with the hangers 4 as they descend. In particular, this can be ensured by the movement of the mounts 54 transversely to the second direction z and to the first goods receiving carrier 12 (ie, the vertical downward movement) at a location other than the movement of the mounts 54 transversely to the second direction (z) and from the first goods receiving carrier 12 away (so here the vertical upward movement).
Specifically, the Mrtnahmeorgane 54 and thus the remote hangers 4 m distance a arranged. The taking organs 54 are positioned exactly between two hangers 4 in this example. The Mrttenabstand between a driving member 54 and a hanger 4 is thus a / 2. The distance between a Mrtnahmeorgan 54 and a hanger 4, however, is b.
That is, starting from the position shown in FIG. 15, the loading and unloading device 33 and the third rail 43 respectively would have to be displaced by the distance b (to the left or to the right) so that the picking members 54 actually engage with a hanger 4 ,
If it is now assumed that the storage and retrieval device 33 has deposited the clothes hanger 4 at the position shown, the recovery takes place at a position offset by the distance b. The upward movement of the entrainment members 54 after discontinuation of the hangers 4 thus takes place at a different z-position than the Abwärrsbewegung at the resumption. The offset b is in this case in particular smaller than half the board spacing a / 2 between two adjacent receiving members 54 less half the diameter of the entraining members 54 and less half the wire diameter of the hook of the garment hanger 4. In other words, the extension path of the loading and unloading apparatus 33 when storing hanging garments 2 another than when storing the hanging garments 2.
In principle, however, it would also be conceivable for the storage and retrieval device 33 to be moved away from the hangers 4 by the distance b before the upward movement of the receiving organs 54. With the same effect as described above, the movement of the receiving members 54 transversely to the second direction z and to the first goods receiving carrier 12 (ie, the vertical downward movement) then occurs at the same location as the movement of the receiving members 54 transverse to the second direction (z) and from the first goods receiving carrier 12 away (so here the vertical upward movement). This variant is therefore the same effect as the variant described above.
The storage and retrieval device 33 accordingly comprises means for controlling movement, which cause a movement of the mating organs 54 transversely to the second direction z and to the first goods receiving carrier 12 out at a different location than a movement of the Metrotting organs 54 transversely to the second direction z and from the first goods receiving medium 54 gone.
The means for controlling movement or for the said offset in the recording of the hangers 4 may be formed by a mechanical coupling or by an electronic control, which is connected, for example, with the telescoping motor 44 and the lifting motors 47a, 47b and this drives accordingly (see also Fig 29).
Is the staggered receiving the hanger 4 is not desired or possible, so a collision between the Mrtnahmeorganen 54 and the hangers 4 can be avoided in other ways. For example, movement of the receiving members 54 transversely to the second direction (z) and toward the first goods receiving carrier 12 (ie, the vertical downward movement) may be superimposed on movement in the second direction z (ie, sideways movement). FIG. 16 shows what is meant by this. The receiving members 54 are in this example just above the hangers 4, which would result in a mere downward movement of the same to a collision with the hangers 4. Although the wedge-shaped or cone-shaped design of the mounts 54 in most cases ensures that the hangers 4 are pushed aside even when the mounts 54 are moved downwards, in rare cases a blockage may occur if the hangers 4 are displaced the organs of approval 54 are not working.
In a preferred embodiment, the downward movement of the Miinahmeorgane 54 therefore takes place simultaneously with a sideways movement of the storage and retrieval device 33. The movement of Miinahmeorgane 54 thus takes place obliquely downwards, as shown in Fig. 16. Preferably, the downward movement of the mover members 54 over the hangers 4 starts, and the distance traveled during the sideways movement corresponds to (substantially) half the pitch a / 2 of the take-up members 54.
According to a further embodiment, it is also conceivable that the movement of the take-up elements 54 transversely to the second direction (z) and towards the first goods receiving carrier 12 (ie here the vertical downward movement) is superimposed by an oscillating movement in the second direction (z) (ie an oscillating sideward movement or a lateral reciprocation). This also effectively prevents a blockage of Miinahmeorgans 54 by a hanger. 4
The loading and unloading device 33 accordingly has means for controlling the movement, which superimpose a movement in the second direction z on the movement of the collecting mechanisms 54 transversely to the second direction z and towards the first goods receiving carrier 12.
The means for controlling movement or for the said superposition of downward and sideways movement may be formed by a mechanical coupling (for example by a Kullssenführung) or by an electronic control, which is connected for example to the telescoping motor 44 and the lifting motors 47a, 47b and these synchronously controls (see also Fig. 29).
In general, the statements made in connection with the first goods receiving carrier 12 also apply without restriction to the second goods receiving carrier 34. This means, in particular, that the loading and unloading device 33 and the entrainment devices 54 in the region of the second goods receiving carrier 34 can be controlled in the same way as in the area of first goods receiving carrier 12.
In general, it is advantageous if the mes- sen organs 54 are positioned in the operating position when the goods transport device 7 is moved in the first direction x. This means, in particular, that the holding devices 54 remain positioned in the actuation position after goods 2 have been taken over by the first goods receiving carrier 12 of the bearing 5 onto the second goods receiving carrier 34 of the goods transport device 7. In this way, the goods 2 are fixed in position during a journey of the goods transport device 7, or at least limited in their movement, and can not fall off the second goods receiving carrier 34. In addition, a twisting of the hanging goods 2 while driving the goods transport device 7 in the x-direction or a lifting of the hangers 2 from the second goods receiving carrier 34 can be largely avoided. Although the proposed approach is advantageous, it is still conceivable that the receiving members 54 are positioned in the release position when the goods transport device 7 is moved in the first direction x.
FIG. 17 now shows the interaction between the first goods receiving carrier 12 of the warehouse 5 and the second goods receiving carrier 34 of the goods transfer device 7. In the concrete example, it is assumed that the goods 2 are transferred from the second goods receiving carrier 34 to the first goods receiving carrier 12.
For this purpose, the second goods receiving carrier 34 is moved in the z direction to the first goods receiving carrier 12, to reduce the gap distance between the two goods receiving media 12, 34 to such an extent that the hook of a hanger 4 does not slip between and the goods 2 down can fall. The gap is therefore preferably smaller than a wire diameter of the hook of the hanger 4.
The second goods receiving carrier 34 is advantageously positioned offset in height from the first goods receiving carrier 12, so that a step directed downwards from the second goods receiving carrier 34 onto the first goods receiving carrier 12 is created. As a result, the shifting of the goods 2 from the second goods receiving carrier 34 to the first goods receiving carrier 12 is facilitated or a snagging or entanglement of the clothes hanger 4 in the intermediate region between the second goods receiving carrier 34 and the first goods receiving carrier 12 is avoided.
If the goods 2 are shifted from the first goods receiving carrier 12 to the second goods receiving carrier 34, then the second goods receiving carrier 34 is advantageously positioned offset in height to the first goods receiving carrier 12, but now so that a downwardly directed from the first goods receiving carrier 12 on the second goods receiving medium 34 level.
It is particularly advantageous in this context if the second goods receiving carrier 34 at its end facing the first goods receiving carrier 12 first and second Positionierforrsätze 61.62, which protrude into the first goods receiving carrier 12 when the second goods receiving carrier 34 moves to the first goods receiving medium 12 zoom wherein, at least one first positioning extension 61 is arranged such that a step directed downwards from the first goods receiving carrier 12 onto the second goods receiving carrier 34 occurs when the first positioning extension 61 rests on the first goods receiving carrier 12, in particular on a horizontal wall section of the profile, and - the at least one second positioning extension 62 is arranged such that a step directed downwards from the second goods receiving carrier 34 onto the first goods receiving carrier 12 occurs when the second positioning extension 62 rests on the first goods receiving carrier 12, in particular a horizontal wall section of the profile.
For this purpose, FIGS. 18 to 20 show an example in which the second goods receiving carrier 34 in FIG. 18 has not yet been moved completely up to the first goods receiving carrier 12 or is in the basic position, in FIG. 19 that from the second goods receiving carrier 34 on the the first goods receiving carrier 12 is shown downwardly directed step and in Fig. 20, the downwardly directed from the first goods receiving medium 12 on the second goods receiving medium 34 stage is shown. In the state shown in FIG. 19, the goods 4 can thus be transferred from the second goods receiving carrier 34 to the first goods receiving carrier 12 and, in the state shown in FIG. 20, from the first goods receiving carrier 12 to the second goods receiving carrier 34.
As a result of the measures introduced, the second goods receiving carrier 34 is supported vertically on the first goods receiving carrier 12, which as a rule is fixedly mounted in the bearing 5. It is also conceivable that the second goods receiving carrier 34 is laterally fixed in position by appropriate design of the positioning projections 61,62 or by further positioning extensions.
It is furthermore conceivable that the positioning projections 61, 62 are not arranged on the second goods receiving carrier 34 but on the first goods receiving carrier 12. Accordingly, then the first goods receiving carrier 12 at its end facing the second goods receiving carrier 34 first and second positioning projections which project into the second goods receiving carrier 34 when the second goods receiving medium 34 is moved to the first goods receiving medium 12, wherein - the at least one first positioning extension is arranged such that a step directed downwards from the first goods receiving carrier 12 onto the second goods receiving carrier 34 occurs when the second goods receiving carrier 34 rests on the first positioning extension, in particular a horizontal wall section of the profile, and - the at least one second positioning extension is arranged such that a step directed downwards from the second goods receiving carrier 34 onto the first goods receiving carrier 12 occurs when the second goods receiving carrier 34 rests on the second positioning extension, in particular a horizontal wall section of the profile.
As has already been explained in connection with FIGS. 11 to 13, unwanted movements or oscillations may occur, in particular in the case of cantilevered loading and unloading devices 33, which naturally occur most strongly at the free end of the loading and unloading device 33. The movement / oscillation can occur in the x-direction and / or the y-direction. In order to avoid this movement / oscillation, in a preferred embodiment it is proposed that a push-through protection 63 is mounted in the storage rack 5 in the region of the first goods receiving carrier 12, which has an opening 64 which cooperates with an extension 65 of the loading and unloading device 33, when the storage and retrieval device 33 is moved up to the push-through protection 63 zoom.
An example is shown in FIG. 21, in which the push-through protection 63 is mounted directly on the first goods receiving carrier 12 and the third rail 43 of the loading and unloading device 33 has an extension 65 which is moved into an opening 64 of the push-through protection 63. when the storage and retrieval device 33 is extended accordingly far. In this way, a positional fixation in the x-direction and / or y-direction is achieved at least in the end position of the storage and retrieval device 33. This measure can be taken alone or in addition to the measures presented in FIGS. 11 to 13. It is also conceivable for the same effect, of course, that the push-through protection 63 has an extension which cooperates with an opening of the storage and retrieval device 33 when the storage and retrieval device 33 is moved up to the push-through protection 63 zoom.
In addition to the effect described above, the push-through protection 63 also prevents the movement of the goods 2 in non-undesirable areas. In particular, a push-through protection 63 can therefore be provided at one end of a first goods receiving carrier 12 or a second goods receiving carrier 34. Of course, it is also possible to use push-through without an opening 64 or without an extension.
FIG. 22 now shows a plan view of a first goods receiving carrier 12 and a brush 66, which projects in the direction of the first goods receiving carrier 12 and in particular projects into the path of movement of the clothes hangers 4. Fig. 23 shows the arrangement shown in Fig. 22 in section. As a result of the proposed measures, the clothes hangers 4 are moved during displacement by the brush 66 arranged in the region of the first goods receiving carrier 12. The brush 66 prevents the hanger 4 unintentionally (ie without intervention of the Mrtnahmeorgane 54) on the first goods receiving carrier 12 slip, for example by
Of course, the same applies to the second goods receiving carrier 34. That is, the brush 66 can project with the same effect in the direction of the first goods receiving medium 34 and in particular in the path of movement of the hangers 4 protrude , In this way, a slipping on or a slipping is prevented by the second goods receiving medium 34, for example, if during a movement of the goods transport device 7 vibrations occur.
The brush 66 may for example be arranged in the storage rack 5 in the region of the end of the first goods receiving carrier 12, which faces the goods transport device 7. In this way, the goods are prevented from falling off the first goods receiving carrier 12. Alternatively or additionally, it is also conceivable that a brush 66 is arranged on at least one end of the second goods receiving carrier 34, which faces the first goods receiving carrier 12. In this way, the goods are prevented from falling off the second goods receiving carrier 34. Finally, a brush 66 may also be arranged in the course (ie not at the end) of the first goods receiving carrier 12 or second goods receiving carrier 34.
FIG. 24 shows a further embodiment according to which the brush 66 projects into the receiving section 49. Specifically, the brush 66 is arranged at the bottom of the groove 57 in this example. In this way, the first goods receiving carrier 12 may be provided in particular over its entire length with a brush 66 or with bristles.
Generally, it is noted that the brush 66 need not necessarily have bristles with a cylindrical cross-section. Rather, it is also conceivable that the bristles have, for example, a rectangular cross section and therefore resemble lobes. Furthermore, it is noted that the brush 66 can also be used in combination with a Durschubsicherung 63.
Instead of acting as a blocking element brush 66 or in addition to an actuated by the goods transport device 7 rocker or actuated by the goods transport device 7 pin may be provided, which protrudes in the blocking position in the path of movement of the hanger 4. For example, the rocker or the pin can be actuated electromagnetically or mechanically. An electromagnetic actuation is particularly suitable when the blocking element is arranged on the second goods receiving carrier 34. If the blocking element is arranged on the first goods receiving carrier 12, then in particular a mechanical actuation by the goods transporting device 7 comes into consideration. For example, at the storage and retrieval device 33, an element (eg, a Fortisatz or wedge) may be arranged, which releases the arranged on the first goods receiving carrier 12 rocker or arranged on the first goods receiving carrier 12 pin in the extension movement of the storage and retrieval device 33 In the case of Brush 66 whose bristles are preferably designed so that they yield when moving the hanging garnish 4 and therefore active actuation of the brush 66 can be omitted. Nevertheless, it can be provided that the brush 66 is actively actuated by the goods transport device 7.
In the following, a storage process and removal process will be described, with particular reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.
Einlagervorganq
The goods 2 to be stored are conveyed to the vertical conveyor 26 of the first conveyor 26 to the vertical conveyor 18. There, the goods 2 are moved from the goods receiving carrier 25 of the first conveyor 26 to the goods receiving carrier 23 at the vertical conveyor 18 promoted. The conveying movement of the product 2 between the goods receiving carriers 23, 25 can take place via the goods transfer device 24. Thereafter, the lifting frame 22 is moved vertically with the goods receiving carrier 23 at the level of one of the storage levels 13 and the goods 2 from the goods receiving carrier 23 of the vertical conveyor 18 on the goods receiving carrier 16 of the transfer station 14 (buffer) promoted. The conveying movement of the product 2 between the goods receiving means 16, 23 can be effected via the goods transfer device 24. Thereafter, the goods receiving carrier 16 of the transfer station 14 is moved from a receiving position to a transfer position. In the transfer position now those goods transport device 7, which is associated with the storage level 13, in which the goods 2 are to be stored at a storage location, pick up the goods 2 from the transfer station 14.
For this purpose, the goods transport device 7 is positioned in the x direction in front of the first goods receiving carrier 16, and the second goods receiving carrier 34 (lifting bar) of the goods transport device 7 is moved from a basic position (FIG. 2) into a transfer position, in particular into the position shown in FIG.
The first goods receiving carrier 16 projects beyond the second goods receiving carrier 34 in the z-direction so that a step directed downwards from the first goods receiving carrier 16 onto the second goods receiving carrier 34 is formed. The second goods receiving carrier 34 is supported on the first goods receiving carrier 12.
As soon as the second goods receiving carrier 34 of the goods transport device 7 is moved into the transfer position, the storage and retrieval device 33 is extended laterally or above the first goods receiving carrier 16 from a starting position against the z-direction. Thereafter, the storage and retrieval device 33 and the Mrtnahmeorgane 54 are adjusted against the y-direction from the release position to the operating position in which the Mrtnahmeorgane 54 engage behind the hangers 4. In this case, between successive Mrtnahmeorganen 54 only a single hanger 4 (for example, in winter coats) or more hangers 4 (for example, in summer dresses) are added.
If the storage and retrieval device 33 is now moved into the starting position in the z-direction, the goods 2 are conveyed from the first goods receiving carrier 16 to the second goods receiving carrier 34 by means of the feed belt 16. The hangers 4 slide with their hooks along the first goods receiving carrier 16 and the second goods receiving carrier 34. Thereafter, the second goods receiving carrier 34 of the goods transport device 7 is again moved to the normal position (see Fig. 3).
Were the goods 2 taken on the goods transport device 7, this can be moved in the x direction to a defined storage space and positioned in front of a first goods receiving carrier 12.
Thereafter, the second goods receiving carrier 34 (lifting bar) of the goods transport device 7 from a basic position (Fig. 2) is moved to a transfer position, in particular in the position shown in Fig. 19. The second goods receiving carrier 34 projects beyond the first goods receiving carrier 12 in the z direction so that a step directed downwards from the second goods receiving carrier 34 onto the first goods receiving carrier 12 is formed. The second goods receiving carrier 34 is in turn based on the first goods receiving carrier 12.
When the driver organs 54 have been moved into the release position in the x direction during the travel of the goods transport device 7, which is basically possible but not necessary, the driver organs 54 are again moved into the actuated position. Otherwise, the Mrtnahmeorgane 54 are anyway still in the operating position in which the Mrtnahmeorgane 54, the hangers 4 and their hooks behind.
Now, if the storage and retrieval device 33 extended from a starting position against the z-direction, the goods 2 are promoted by means of Mretnahmeorgane 54 from the second goods receiving carrier 34 to the first goods receiving carrier 12. The hangers 4 slide with their hooks along the second goods receiving carrier 34 and the first goods receiving carrier 12th
Are the goods 2 in the storage rack 5, the storage and retrieval device 33 and the Mrtnahmeorgane 54 are adjusted in the y-direction from the operating position to the release position. Thereafter, the storage and retrieval device 33 can be retracted in the z direction to the starting position and the second goods receiving carrier 34 are moved to the normal position.
As can be seen in the figures, the goods 2 can be conveyed as a hanging garment group and stored during Einnagervorgang. For example, a hanging garment group may include up to forty goods 2. In particular, one and the same goods 2 are included within a range of hangers. In other words, a hanging garment group are respectively provided on the first goods receiving carriers 16 of the transfer station 14, and a hanging garment group is received on the second goods receiving carrier 34 of the goods transporting device 7 and one hanging garment group is stored on the first goods receiving carrier 12 of the storage rack 5, respectively. The first goods receiving carrier 12 may preferably store two hanging garment groups in the z-direction in the storage rack 5 in succession.
In principle, it is also possible that the goods 2 are promoted and stored isolated. This is the case, for example, if, after a picking process from a group of hanging goods, only one product 2 (remaining product) remains, which in turn is to be stored in the storage rack 5.
Auslaqervorqanq
For this purpose, the goods transport device 7 is positioned in front of a first goods receiving carrier 12 in the x direction, and the goods receiving carrier 34 of the goods transport device 7 is moved from a basic position (FIG. 2) into the transfer position shown in FIG.
Thereafter, the storage and retrieval device 33 is extended from its initial position laterally or above the first goods receiving carrier 12 against the z-direction. Thereafter, the storage and retrieval device 33 or the Miinahmeorgane 54 are adjusted against the y-direction from the release position in the operating position in which the Miinahmeorgane 54 engage behind the hangers 4. In this case, between successive entrainment members 54 only a single hanger 4 (for example, in winter coats) or more hanger 4 (for example, in summer dresses) are added.
If now the storage and retrieval device 33 is retracted in the z-direction to the starting position, the goods 2 are conveyed by means of the Miinahmeorgane 54 from the first goods receiving carrier 12 to the second goods receiving medium 34.
The hangers 4 slide with their hooks along the first goods receiving carrier 12 and the second goods receiving carrier 34. If the goods 2 are located on the second goods receiving carrier 34, this is again moved to the basic position (see FIG. 3).
After the goods 2 have been taken on the goods transport device 7, this can be moved in the x-direction to the transfer station 15 and positioned in front of a first goods receiving carrier 16.
Thereafter, the second goods receiving carrier 34 of the goods transport device 7 is moved from a basic position (Fig. 2) in a transfer position, in particular in the position shown in Fig. 19. The second goods receiving carrier 34 projects beyond the first goods receiving carrier 16 in the z-direction so that a step directed downwards from the second goods receiving carrier 34 onto the first goods receiving carrier 16 is formed. The second goods receiving carrier 34 is in turn based on the first goods receiving carrier 16.
Subsequently, the goods to be outsourced 2 are transferred from the goods transport device 7 to the transfer station 15. The goods 2 are conveyed by means of the storage and retrieval device 33 from the second goods receiving carrier 34 to the first goods receiving carrier 16 in the z direction.
Were the auszulagernden goods 2 on a first goods receiving carrier 16 of the transfer station 14, this is adjusted from a takeover position to a delivery position. Thereafter, the goods 2 are conveyed away by means of the goods transfer device 24 from the goods receiving carrier 16 to the goods receiving carrier 23 of the vertical conveyor 18. Thereafter, the lifting frame 22 is adjusted vertically with the goods receiving carrier 23 at the level of a conveyor technology level and the goods 2 from the goods receiving carrier 23 of the vertical conveyor 18 on the goods receiving carrier 25 of the second conveyor 27 promoted. The conveying movement of the product 2 between the goods receiving carriers 23, 25 can take place via the goods transfer device 24. The second conveyor 27 promotes the goods 2 to a Komm issionierarbeitsplatz or a Packarbeitsplatz.
During the removal process, the goods 2 can be promoted and stored as a hanging garment group. In principle, it is also possible that the goods 2 are promoted and stored sporadically. This is the case, for example, if only one single product 2 is required for a picking operation / packing operation from a hanging garment group.
In summary, therefore, an operating method for an automated storage system 1 for hanging garments 2, which are suspended from hangers 4, indicated, wherein the storage system 1, a storage rack 5 arranged in superimposed and substantially horizontal storage levels 13 storage areas for the hanging garments 2 and at least one before Moving the goods transport device 7 in the first direction x in a goods transfer position in the region of a first goods receiving carrier 12 of the storage rack 5, wherein a longitudinal extent of the first goods receiving carrier 12 in a second direction z is oriented perpendicular to the first direction x, moving an on the goods transport device 7 adjustably arranged and extending in the second direction z, second goods receiving carrier 34 in the second direction z to the first Warenaufnahmetr Move 12 of - receiving members 54 of a storage and retrieval device 33 from a release position in which the LET organs 54 transversely to the second direction z are moved away from the first goods receiving carrier 12, in an operating position in which the SämTnahmeorgane 54 transversely to the second direction z to moving the hanging garments 2 from the first goods receiving carrier 12 onto the second goods receiving carrier 34 or vice versa with the aid of the z movable in the second direction Storage and retrieval device 33.
During the movement from the release position into the actuating position, the receiving members 54 are moved into a receiving portion 49 of the first goods receiving carrier 12 and / or of the second goods receiving carrier 34.
Alternatively or additionally, movement of the take-up elements 54 transverse to the second direction z and to the first / second goods receiving carrier 12, 34 is superimposed on a movement in the second direction z and / or the movement of the take-up elements 54 transverse to the second direction z and the first second goods receiving carrier 12, 34 toward takes place at a location other than the movement of Miinahmeorgane 54 transversely to the second direction z and from the first / second goods receiving carrier 12, 34 away.
In the jointly described FIGS. 25 to 28, a further embodiment of a goods transport device 67 or a further embodiment of an automated storage system 80 for the storage of hanging goods 2 is shown.
Fig. 25 shows an alternative embodiment of a goods transport device 67 on one of the drive levels 6. The goods transport device 67 is formed according to this embodiment by a Einbenenregalbediengerät and has a base frame 30, Laufr ^ wheels 31 and a traction drive (not shown in detail) on. The Laufr ^ r ^ cder 31 are arranged on the two longitudinal sides of the base frame 30. The travel drive of the goods transport device 67 may correspond to the travel drive 32 of the goods transport device 7 described in FIGS. 2 and 3. In addition, on an underside of the goods transport device 67 fixed to the base frame 30 and arranged parallel to the z-direction at a mutual distance extending guide rails 68.
Furthermore, the goods transport device 67 is associated with an input and output device 69, which according to the embodiment shown comprises a self-propelled infeed and retrieval vehicle which can be moved in the z-direction relative to the goods transfer device 67 or consists of this.
The storage and retrieval device 69 includes a base frame 70, rollers 71, a traction drive with a Anthebsmotor 72 and a goods receiving carrier 73. Likewise, the storage and retrieval device 69 (ie the storage and retrieval vehicle) have an energy storage to the traction drive and a to be described in more detail Verstellvcrrichtung for the goods receiving carrier 73 and an electronic control system to provide energy. The rollers 71 are angecrdnet on the two longitudinal sides of the base frame 70 and form a chassis. The storage and retrieval device 69 can be moved on the guide rails 68 in the z-direction and possibly also leave the goods transport device 67. The energy supply of the storage and retrieval device 69 can be done, for example, autonomously or by means of a trailing cable connected to the goods transport device 67.
The traction drive of the storage and retrieval device 69 comprises, according to a first embodiment, at least one electric drive motor 72 and an endlessly circulating traction means (not shown) as well as drive shafts (not shown). At the drive shafts, the rollers 71 are fixed end. The traction means is guided with a Anthebsabschnitt on the drive shafts. In this way, the two rollers 71 are driven on the first side of the storage and retrieval vehicle. The drive shafts transmit the Antrrebsmoment from the first page to the second side of the storage and retrieval vehicle, so that the two rollers 71 are driven on the second side. This drive proposed for the storage and retrieval device 69 corresponds to the travel drive 32 of the goods transport device 7 described in FIGS. 2 and 3.
According to a second embodiment, only one Lauffadpaar be driven, for example, in the direction of travel of the storage and retrieval vehicle front wheel pair or rear wheel pair.
As can be seen from Fig. 25, the goods receiving carrier 73 at the loading and unloading device 69 (i.e., at the receiving and Auskagerfahrzeug) is therefore arranged separately from the goods transport device 6. The goods receiving carrier 73 is mounted on an adjustable Verstellvcrrichtung 74 in the x-direction and y-direction adjustable on the base frame 70.
The Verstellvcrrichtung 74 includes shown embodiment in the z-direction with spaced bearing plates 75, to each of which a Kullssenführung 76 is disposed, and a Antnebsmotor 77, which is bewegungsgekosselt with the goods receiving carrier 73. The goods receiving carrier 73 is displaceably mounted on the Kullssenführungen 76 via guide means and can by actuation of the drive motor 77 of the goods receiving carrier 73 in the x-direction and y-direction between a first end position (right end of the Kullssenführungen 76) and a second end position (llnkes end the Kullssenführungen 76) are moved. Fig. 25 shows an intermediate position, in which the hangers 4 of the goods 2 are just taken from the goods receiving carrier 73. If the goods receiving carrier 73 is moved from the intermediate position to the second end position, the hangers 4 of the goods 2 are lifted from the first goods receiving carrier 12 (which is arranged, for example, in the storage rack 5) and transferred to the goods receiving carrier 73 of the storage and retrieval vehicle. If the goods receiving carrier 73 is moved from the intermediate position to the first end position, the hangers 4 of the goods 2 are delivered from the goods receiving carrier 73 of the storage and retrieval vehicle to the first goods receiving carrier 12. A horizontal receiving plane on the goods receiving carrier 73 extends in the first position accordingly below the storage level 13 and in the second position above the storage level thirteenth
Although the Kullssenführung 76 shown in Fig. 25 for the goods receiving carrier 73 is advantageous but not mandatory. It is also conceivable that the goods receiving carrier 73 can be moved by two separate drives in the y-direction and x-direction. These drives can be controlled so that the goods receiving carrier 73 is moved first in the x-direction and then in the y-direction or even so that the goods receiving carrier 73 moves along a Kullssenfüh-tion 76 corresponding straight lines. Of course, even more complex movements are conceivable. It is also conceivable that the adjusting device 74 designed such that the goods receiving carrier 73 moves exclusively in the y-direction between the first position and second position adjustable on the base frame 70.
In the example shown, the loading and unloading device 69 further comprises an optional driver bar 78 with holding members 79, which is fixedly mounted on the base frame 70 here. When lifting the goods receiving carrier 73, the hooks of the hanger 4 are raised in the spaces between the Miinahmeorga- 79 so that the goods 2 when accelerating the storage and retrieval device 69 in the z-direction can not fall off the goods receiving carrier 73. With an equivalent result, the goods receiving carrier 73 may also be formed like a rake, so that the hooks hang the hanger 4 when lifting the Warenaufnahülägers 73 in the space between the tines of the goods receiving carrier 73 or when accelerating the input and output device 69 in the z direction in slip the said gap.
According to a further embodiment, the Miinhmerleiste 78 and / or the Miinahmeorgane 79 may be vertically adjustable. In this way, it is possible to move the goods 2 directly on the first goods receiving carrier 12, without having to be lifted with the goods receiving carrier 73. The hitherto for storage and retrieval device 33 has been fully applicable to the Miinehmerleiste 78 and Miinahmeorgane 79. The Miinhmerleiste 78 occurs in particular in place of the third rail 43 and the Miinahmeorgane 79 in particular to the place of Miinahmeorgane 54. In principle, the Miinhmerleiste 78 be adjustable in the z-direction relative to the base frame 70 of the storage and retrieval device 69, but usually this is not necessary, since the movement of Miinehmerleiste 78 and Miinahmeorgane 79 in the z-direction yes by a driving movement of the storage and retrieval device 69 can take place.
In summary, it can be said that the storage and retrieval device 69 of the goods transport device 67 is formed in this example by a self-propelled storage and retrieval vehicle (a so-called channel vehicle), which is used for moving the hanging goods 2 between the first goods receiving carrier 12 and the second goods receiving carrier 73 moves in the z-direction in the storage rack 5 respectively in the storage areas of the storage rack 5. The second goods receiving carrier 73 is not arranged here on the frame 30 of the goods transport device 67, but on the storage and retrieval device 69. There is not necessarily a mechanical connection between the x-direction movable goods transport device 67 and the z-direction movable "channel vehicle" 69 when the channeling vehicle 69 is fully retracted into the rack 5. In particular, however, an electrical connection between the goods transport device 67 and the channel vehicle 69 may exist, for example via a tow cable.
Specifically, the "channel vehicle" 69 may be received on the goods transport device 67 and transported therefrom in the x direction. The "channel vehicle" 69 in this case forms a "subsidiary vehicle", the goods transponder 67 functions as a "parent vehicle".
In the jointly described FIGS. 26 to 28, a further embodiment of an automated storage system 80 for storing hanging goods 2 is shown, which additionally comprises an automated goods distribution system 81. The goods distribution system 81 comprises the subsequently described transfer and transfer station 82, 83 and the vertical conveyor 84.
According to the embodiment shown, the storage system 80 comprises storage shelves 5 and transport levels 67 movable in front of the storage racks 5 in a first direction (x-direction) in a first direction (x-direction). The goods transport devices 67 are used for storing the goods 2 in the storage rack 5 or retrieval The goods 2 from the storage rack 5. Usually, such a storage system 80 is provided in each driving plane 6 with a goods transport device 67. However, fewer goods handling devices 67 than driving planes 6 may also be present, in which case the goods transport devices 67 can be transferred between the driving planes 6 via a lifting device (not shown).
The storage racks 5 include vertical front rack 8, vertical rear rack 9, front longitudinal beams 10, rear longitudinal beams 11 and first goods receiving carrier 85. The front longitudinal beams 10 extend one above the other horizontally in the x-direction and are attached to the front uprights 8, wherein the pairwise each opposite front longitudinal beams 10 each form a driving plane 6, along which the goods transport device 67 is moved. The front longitudinal beams 10 thus form guide rails for the goods transport device 67 per driving plane 6. The rear longitudinal beams 11 extend horizontally in the x direction and are fastened to the rear uprights 9. The storage racks 5 further comprise in the superimposed lying storage levels 13 horizontally in the z-direction and with spaced-apart guide rails 86, wherein each first goods receiving carrier 85, a first guide rail 86 and a second guide rails 86 are provided.
The first guide rail 86 and the second guide rails 86 are connected to the front longitudinal beam 10 and the rear longitudinal beam 11 and preferably have a C-shaped cross section (see the guide rails 68 shown in Fig. 25 in connection with the goods transport device 67).
The first goods receiving carrier 85 extend in a storage plane 13 horizontally in the depth direction of the storage rack 5 (z-direction) between the front longitudinal beams 10 and rear longitudinal beams 11, the goods 2 are hung on the hangers 4 on the first goods receiving media 85. The first goods receiving carrier 85 are fixedly arranged in the storage rack 5, for example, on the rear longitudinal beams 11 projecting supporting beams, which are screwed on mounting plates on the rear longitudinal beams 11. Each first goods receiving carrier 85 forms a storage space, wherein a plurality of goods 2 can be stored at a storage location. Thus, each storage rack 1 forms in the superimposed storage levels 13 each side by side a plurality of storage spaces or storage areas.
The storage and retrieval device 69 can be moved by means of the rollers 71 on the guide rails 68 of the goods transport device 67 and the guide rails 86 of the storage rack 5.
As schematically shown in FIG. 27, the storage system 80 or its goods distribution system 81 can furthermore have a transfer station 82, along which the front longitudinal bars 10 run per driving plane 6 and at which hanging garments 2 to be stored are picked up by the goods transport device 67, and a transfer station 83, along which the front longitudinal beams 10 run per driving plane 6 and at which aushänagernde hanging garments 2 are discharged from the goods transport device 67.
In this embodiment, the transfer station 82 and transfer station 83 per storage level 13 at least a first goods receiving carrier 87 and turn guide rails 86. If the transfer station 82 and transfer station 83 are arranged on both sides of the goods transport device 67, a first goods receiving carrier 87 is arranged in the transfer station 82 per storage plane 13 in the transfer station 82 and per storage plane 13.
The first goods receiving carrier 87 and guide rails 86 are adjustable per storage level 13 via an actuator (not shown) between a receiving position and a transfer position or transfer position and delivery position. In the receiving position, a goods transfer device 91 (self-propelled transport vehicle) from the VertikaH ^ c ^ r ^ cer erer 84 in the transfer station 82 drive. Thereafter, the product 2 is discharged from a goods receiving carrier 92 of the transfer vehicle 91 to the goods receiving carrier 87 of the transfer station 82. The goods receiving carrier 87 extends in the receiving position parallel to the x-direction and in the transfer position parallel to the z-direction. In the delivery position, a goods transfer device 91 (self-propelled transport vehicle) can travel from the transfer station 83 to the vertical conveyor 84. Beforehand, the product 2 is taken over by the goods receiving carrier 87 of the transfer station 83 onto the goods receiving carrier 92 of the transfer vehicle. The goods receiving carrier 87 extends in the delivery position parallel to the x-direction and in the transfer position parallel to the z-direction. The actuator comprises a via a Anthebsmotor (not shown) rotatable about a vertical axis mounting plate on which the guide rails 86 and the at least one goods receiving carrier 87 are mounted.
The goods receiving carrier 87 of the transfer or transfer station 82, 83 is designed according to the embodiment shown as the first goods receiving carrier 85 of the storage rack 5.
The vertical section 84 connects the storage levels 13 with at least one conveying technology level and is arranged on the outer longitudinal side of the storage racks 5.
The vectors 84 each comprise a guide frame 88, a liftable and lowerable lifting frame 89, at least one goods receiving carrier 90 and a goods transfer device 91 (self-propelled transfer vehicle). The at least one goods receiving carrier 90 is arranged on the lifting frame 89 and extends parallel to the x-direction. The goods receiving carrier 90 of the vertical direction is designed according to the embodiment shown as the first goods receiving carrier 85 of the storage rack 5. The product 2 can be conveyed by means of the goods transfer device 91 between the transfer or transfer station 82, 83 and the vertical conveyor 84. The lifting frame 89 is provided with guide rails 93, so that the goods transfer device 91 along the guide rails 86, 93 between the transfer or transfer station 82, 83 and the vertical conveyor 84 is movable. The goods transfer device 91 is designed according to the embodiment shown as a self-propelled transfer vehicle (Einlagerfahrzeug) in the transfer station 82 and self-propelled Umlagerfahrzeug (Auslagerfahrzeug) in the transfer station 83, wherein the transfer vehicle relative to the vertical conveyor 84 and transfer station 82, 83 in the x- Direction are movable.
The first vertical conveyor 84 connects to a first conveyor system for transporting goods 2, and the second vertical conveyor 83 connects to a second conveyor system for transporting goods 2. The first conveyor and second conveyor are preferably operated automatically.
The goods transfer device 91, which moves in the area of the transfer or transfer station 82, 83 and the vertical conveyor 84, is preferably identical to the storage and retrieval vehicle 69, which is assigned to the goods transport device 67. This applies both to the transfer vehicle (storage vehicle), which is assigned to the storage vertical conveyor 84, as well as for the transfer vehicle (Auslagerfahrzeug), which is associated with the Auslager-vertical conveyor 83. In particular, the same adjustment device 74 as for the goods receiving carrier 73 can be used for the goods receiving carrier 92. In this way, the goods receiving carrier 92 in the y-direction and z-direction (or only in y-direction) can be adjusted. Likewise, for example, the traction drive and the Mrtnehmerleiste 78 and the Mrtnahmeorgane 79 from the
Goods transport device 67 are taken over. In principle, the goods transfer device 91 may also have a different structure than the goods transfer device 67, for example by omitting or modifying parts of the goods transport device 67 in the goods transfer device 91.
In the illustrated example, the storage and retrieval device 69 is adapted to move on the guide rails 68 of the goods transport device 67 and on the guide rails 86 of the storage rack 5. In principle, however, there is nothing against the fact that the storage and retrieval device 69 also moves on the guide rails 86, 93 between the vertical conveyor 84 and the transfer or transfer station 82, 83. This is possible if the units mentioned are structurally coordinated with one another and, in particular, if the goods transfer device 91 is constructed identically to the storage and retrieval vehicle 69.
In an analogous manner, in the illustrated example, the goods transfer device 91 is set up to move on the guide rails 86, 93 between the vertical conveyor 84 and the transfer station 82, 83. In principle, however, there is nothing against the fact that the goods transfer device 91 also moves on the guide rails 68 of the goods transport device 67 or on the guide rails 86 of the storage rack 5. This is possible if the said units are structurally coordinated with each other and in particular if the goods transfer device 91 is constructed identically to the storage and retrieval vehicle 69.
In the following, a storage process and removal process will be described, with particular reference to FIGS. 26 to 27.
Einiaqervorqanq
The goods 2 to be stored are conveyed to the vertical conveyor 84 via a first conveyor system (not shown). There, the product 2 from the first conveyor to the transfer vehicle (Einlagerfahrzeug) 91, which is provided with the goods receiving carrier 92, promoted. Thereafter, the lifting frame 89 is adjusted with the rearrangement vehicle 91 vertically at the level of one of the storage levels 13. Furthermore, the goods receiving carrier 87 and the guide rails 86 are adjusted in this storage level 13 via an actuator (not shown) in the receiving position. Thereafter, the rearrangement vehicle 91 can be moved with the goods 2 from the vertical conveyor 84 in the transfer station 82 (buffer). In this case, the transfer vehicle 91 moves along the guide rails 93, 86.
If the transfer vehicle 91 is located in the transfer station 82, the goods receiving carrier 92 is adjusted via the adjusting device in the y-direction and z-direction or only in the y-direction and the goods 2 are delivered from the goods receiving carrier 92 to the goods receiving carrier 87. Thereafter, the transfer vehicle 91 returns to the vertical position, and the goods receiving carrier 87 and the guide rails 86 in this storage plane 13 are moved to the transfer position.
The goods transport device 67 is positioned in the x-direction in front of the goods receiving carrier 87 such that the loading and unloading device 69 (storage and retrieval vehicle) along the guide rails 68, 86 in the z-direction between the goods transport device 67 and the transfer station 82 can move (Fig 26). If the loading and unloading device 69 is located in the transfer station 82 (FIG. 28), the goods receiving carrier 73 is moved via the adjustment device 74 in the x-direction and y-direction or exclusively in the y-direction, and the goods 2 are taken from the goods receiving carrier 87 taken on the goods receiving carrier 73.
Thereafter, the storage and retrieval device 69 (storage and retrieval vehicle) returns to the goods transport device 67 back.
Subsequently, the goods transport device 67 with the storage and retrieval device 69 (storage and retrieval vehicle), which carries the goods 2 on the goods receiving carrier 73, moved in the x direction to a defined storage space and positioned in front of a goods receiving carrier 85.
Now, the storage and retrieval device 69 (storage and retrieval vehicle) along the guide rails 68. 86 in the z direction between the goods transport device 67 and the storage rack 5 are moved. If the storage and retrieval device 69 is located in the storage rack 5, the goods receiving carrier 73 is adjusted via the adjustment device 74 in the x-direction and y-direction or exclusively in the y-direction, and the goods 2 are delivered from the goods receiving carrier 73 to the goods receiving carrier 85. Thereafter, the storage and retrieval device 69 (storage and retrieval vehicle) returns to the goods transport device 67 back.
The goods 2 can be promoted and stored during the storage process as Hängewarengruppe or sporadically.
Auslaqervorqanq
For this purpose, the goods transport device 67 is moved in the x-direction with the storage and retrieval device 69 (storage and retrieval vehicle) and positioned in front of one of the goods receiving carriers 85 (see FIG. 26).
Thereafter, the storage and retrieval device 69 (storage and retrieval vehicle) along the guide rails 68, 86 in the z-direction between the goods transport device 67 and the storage rack 5 are moved. If the storage and retrieval device 69 is located in the storage rack 5 (FIG. 28), the goods receiving carrier 73 is moved via the adjustment device 74 in the x-direction and y-direction or exclusively in the y-direction, and the goods 2 are lifted off the goods receiving carrier 85 and taken on the goods receiving carrier 73. Thereafter, the storage and retrieval device 69 (storage and retrieval vehicle) returns to the goods transport device 67 back.
Subsequently, the goods transport device 67 with the loading and unloading device 69 (storage and retrieval vehicle), which carries the goods 2 on the goods receiving carrier 73, moved in the x direction to the transfer station 83 and positioned in front of a goods receiving carrier 87.
Subsequently, the outsourced goods 2 are transferred from the storage and retrieval device 69 (storage and retrieval vehicle) to the transfer station 83. The loading and unloading device 69 (storage and retrieval vehicle) along the guide rails 68, 86 in the z-direction between the goods transport device 67 and the transfer station 83 is moved. If the storage and retrieval device 69 is located in the transfer station 83, the goods receiving carrier 73 is displaced via the adjustment device 74 in the x-direction and y-direction or exclusively in the y-direction, and the goods 2 are delivered from the goods receiving carrier 73 to the goods receiving carrier 87 , Thereafter, the storage and retrieval device 69 (storage and retrieval vehicle) travels back to the Warentrans-pcrtvre direction 67 back.
Subsequently, the goods receiving carrier 87 and the guide rails 86 of the transfer station 83 are moved from a transfer position to a delivery position. Thereafter, the goods transfer device 91 (transfer vehicle) moves along the guide rails 93, 86 from the vertical conveyor 84 to the transfer station 83. If the goods transfer device 8 is located in the transfer station 83, the goods receiving carrier 92 is moved via the adjustment device in y Direction and z-direction or adjusted only in the y-direction and the goods 2 taken over by the goods receiving carrier 87 on the goods receiving carrier 92.
Thereafter, the rearrangement vehicle 91 can be moved with the goods 2 from the transfer station 83 on the vertical conveyor 84.
Finally, the goods 2 are conveyed by means of the second conveyor 27 (not shown) to a picking workstation or packing workstation.
In the illustrated example, both a loading and unloading device 69 and a goods transfer device 91 are used to include or outsource the goods 2. In principle, however, the loading and unloading process could also be carried out without a goods transfer device 91 and thus only with an insertion and removal device 69 or even without an insertion and removal device 69 and thus only with a goods transfer device 91. As mentioned, this is possible if the units mentioned are structurally coordinated with each other and, in particular, if the goods transfer device 91 is constructed identically to the storage and retrieval vehicle 69.
In this embodiment, the hooks of the hangers 4 on the goods receiving carriers 73, 85, 87, not pushed, but lifted with the goods receiving carrier 73 of the goods receiving carriers 85, 87 and lowered with the goods receiving carrier 73 on the goods receiving carrier 85, 87, 73.
In principle, however, it would also be conceivable for the article 2 to be moved onto goods receiving means 85, 87, 90, provided that the loading and unloading device 69 and / or the goods transfer device 91 have a vertically adjustable carrier strip 78 or vertically adjustable picking elements 79.
With regard to the storage and retrieval device 33 or the telescoping unit, a further variant alternative to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is conceivable. In this, the third rail 43 of the infeed and outfeed device 33 and the telescoping unit is equipped with a motorized traction means (e.g., belt or chain) guided around diverting wheels mounted at opposite ends of the third rail 43. On the traction means outwardly Miinahmeorganen 54, 79 are arranged.
Now, if goods 2 are to be stored by the goods transport device 7 in the storage rack 5, the storage and retrieval device 33 is positioned in the x-direction such that the second goods receiving carrier 34 and the first goods receiving carrier 12 are aligned. Thereafter, the second goods receiving carrier 34 is moved to the transfer position shown in Fig. 17 and 19. During the extension movement of the storage and retrieval device 33 in the z direction, the traction means is not driven (blocked), so that the hangers 4 are pushed between the Miinahmeorganen 54, 79 from the goods receiving medium 34 on the goods receiving carrier 12. Subsequently, the storage and retrieval device 33 is retracted in the z-direction to the starting position and thereby driven the traction means in opposite directions by substantially the same speed to the retraction, so that the stored product 2 remain at the goods receiving carrier 12.
If goods 2 are to be unloaded from the goods transport device 7 into the storage rack 5, the goods transport device 7 is set in the x-direction in such a way that the second goods receiving carrier 34 and the first goods receiving carrier 12 run in alignment. Thereafter, the second goods receiving carrier 34 is moved to the transfer position shown in Fig. 20. Then, with the adjustment of the storage and retrieval device 33 in the z direction, the traction means is driven in opposite directions and in synchronism with the extension movement, so that the clothes hangers 4 are received between the receiving bodies 54, 79. If the storage and retrieval device 33 is extended, the traction means is stopped. Subsequently, the loading and unloading device 33 is retracted in the z-direction to the starting position while the traction means is not driven (blocked), so that the goods to be outsourced 2 are pushed by means of the Leetnahmeorgane 54, 79 from the first goods receiving carrier 12 to the second goods receiving medium 34. The Mrtnahmeorgane 54, 79 engage behind the hangers 4. In the same way takes over the acquisition of the goods 2 from the transfer station 14 and transfer of the goods 2 to the transfer station 15th
FIG. 29 now shows an exemplary controller 94 for the telescoping motor 44 and the lifting motors 47a, 47b as well as sensors used by way of example on the goods transport device 7.
Concretely, the controller 94 is connected to the telescoping motor 44 and the lifting motors 47a, 47b and may, for example, for the superimposed movement of the mounts 54 in the vertical and horizontal directions (see also Fig. 16) and / or the movement of the mounts 54 in the goods receiving , which takes place offset to the hanging of the hanging garments 2 (see also Fig. 15) are used.
In a first embodiment, on both sides of the goods transporting device 7, tivetirectional sensors 95a, 95b are arranged whose detection region points in the second direction z. In the concrete example shown, the depth measuring sensors 95a, 95b are arranged on the base frame 30, but they could also be positioned elsewhere. With the aid of these depth measuring sensors 95a, 95b, a detection area extending from the goods transport device 7 in the second direction z can be checked for the presence of an object. If an unexpected object is detected in the detection area, an alarm signal is output. For example, unwanted hanging garments 4 could fall off the first goods receiving media 12 and remain lying on the first goods receiving media 12 underneath. In this case, there could be problems during a storage or retrieval process. Preferably, the loading or unloading process is then stopped and an alarm is issued. It is also conceivable that an extension path of the storage and retrieval device 33 or the telescoping device (rail 41, 42, 43) is measured with the aid of the depth measuring sensors 95a, 95b.
Alternatively or additionally, in a second embodiment, depth measuring sensors 96a, 96b are arranged on both sides of the third rail 43 of the loading and unloading device 33 or telescoping device. With these depth measuring sensors 96a, 96b, which likewise point in the second direction z, a detection range extending in the second direction z can likewise be checked for the presence of an object and / or an extension path of the third rail 43 can be measured.
In a further embodiment variant, the goods transport device 7 comprises goods detection sensors 97a, 97b for detecting the hanging goods 2 stored on the first goods receiving carrier 12 and / or the second goods receiving carrier 34. In particular, the hanging goods 2 can be detected with respect to their number and / or type. For example, it is possible in this way to push a certain number of coats from the first goods receiving carrier 12 to the second goods receiving medium 34 or vice versa. Similarly, it is conceivable, for example, to differentiate the coats in terms of their color or to distinguish, for example, coats of shirts.
The Wacensfassungssensccen 97a, 97b are arranged in this example at the ends of the third rail 43, but in principle they could also be positioned elsewhere.
At this point, it is noted that the depth measuring sensors 95a, 95b, the depth measuring sensors 96a, 96b, and the suction detecting sensors 97a, 97b may be used singly or in combination.
FIGS. 30 to 33 now show a variant of a goods transport device 7, in which goods securing brackets 98a, 98b are used. Specifically, FIG. 30 shows a perspective view of the goods transport device 7 and FIGS. 31 to 33 show various embodiments in a schematic front view.
In the example shown in detail, the goods transporting device 7 has two goods securing brackets 98a, 98b, which are mounted rotatably on the goods transporting device 7 about axes of rotation 99a, 99b oriented parallel to the first direction x. The goods security brackets 98a, 98b are movable to a release position in which the goods security brackets 98a, 98b are pivoted upwards, and in a securing position in which the goods security brackets 98a, 98b are pivoted downwards. The release position allows the transfer of hanging garments 2 between the first goods receiving carrier 12 and the second goods receiving carrier 34. In the securing position, the hanging garments 2, however, are held in a security area below the goods transport device 7 and in particular compressed. As a result, swinging or fluttering of the hanging garments 2 is avoided or at least reduced when the goods transport device 7 is traveling in the x direction.
In FIG. 30, the first article securing clip 98a is in the release position, and the second article securing clip 98b is in the securing position. This is particularly possible when the goods security brackets 98a, 98b are driven by separate motors. In principle, however, the second merchandise security bracket 98b could also be in the release position in the illustrated goods transfer, which can be realized both with two separate drive motors and with a drive motor which is coupled with both merchandise security straps 98a, 98b.
FIG. 31 shows the embodiment variant already shown in FIG. 30 in a schematic front view, wherein the securing position is shown by solid lines and the release position by dashed lines. In the example shown in Fig. 31, the article securing brackets 98a, 98b are vertically aligned in the securing position. However, this is not the only conceivable possibility, but is also conceivable that the goods security brackets 98a, 98b are inclined in the securing position, as shown in FIG. 32. The goods security straps 98a, 98b can be adapted in particular by variable inclination to a different number of hanging goods 2 to be transported on the second goods receiving carrier 34.
Finally, FIG. 33 shows a variant embodiment of the goods transporting device 7 in which the axes of rotation 99a, 99b of the article securing brackets 98a, 98b are displaceably mounted on the goods transport device 7 in the second direction z. The article securing straps 98a, 98b can be adapted in particular by shifting to a different number of hanging garments 2 to be transported on the second goods receiving carrier 34. Of course, it is also possible to adapt the goods security brackets 98a, 98b by pivoting and moving to a different number of hanging goods 2 to be transported on the second goods receiving carrier 34.
In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the goods transport device 7, the axes of rotation 99a, 99b of the merchandise security bracket 98a, 98b when pivoting in the release position in the second direction z to the center of the goods transport device 7 toward shifted and pivoting in the securing position in the second direction z to the outside of the Goods transport device 7, 67 postponed. As is clear from Fig. 33, the one for pivoting the goods security brackets 98a, 98b in this embodiment is very small, the space located between the retail security brackets 98a, 98b, however, very large. Accordingly, with the variant of the goods transport device 7 shown in FIG. 33, a large number of hanging garments 2 can be secured, without the goods security straps 98a, 98b having to be pivoted beyond the goods transport device 7, resulting in collisions with the first goods receiving carrier 34 or the hanging products 2 stored there could lead. For example, the controller 94 can be used for the execution of the combined pivoting and linear movement of the goods security brackets 98a, 98b and for this purpose be connected to the drive motors for the pivoting and linear movement.
The drive of the goods security bracket 98a, 98b can be done electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically. To limit the force with which the hanging garments 2 are compressed, the current of an electric Antnebsmotors or the pressure of a pneumatic cylinder / Hydraulikzyllnders can be limited. Of course, force sensors for measuring the force with which the hanging garments 2 are compressed can also be used.
In FIGS. 30 to 33, the goods transport device 7 has two goods securing brackets 98a, 98b. Of course, it is also conceivable that the goods transport device 7 only has a goods security bracket 98a, in particular if the storage and retrieval device 33 can be extended only to one side. The article security clip 98a can then press the hanging garments 2 in particular against a fixed merchandise security bar.
In FIGS. 29 to 33, reference has been made to the goods transport device 7. Of course, the disclosed technical teaching but also fully applicable to the goods transport device 67.
Finally, it should be mentioned that in the embodiments described above instead of Einbenenregalbediengeräte as goods transport device 7, 67 (multi-level) storage and retrieval devices can be used, which are movable in the x-direction along guide rails and have over all storage levels 13 extending mast on which is mounted a raised and lowered base frame. On this base frame, the storage and retrieval device 33 (Fig. 2) or storage and retrieval device 69 (Fig. 25) is arranged. Such a storage and retrieval unit is known for example from EP 2 419 368 B1.
According to another embodiment, such stacker cranes are provided one above the other in several driving planes, each of these stacker cranes operating a plurality of storage levels 13.
It should also be pointed out that the above-described transfer and transfer stations 14, 15, 82, 83 need not necessarily be separate and arranged on both sides of the goods transport device 7, 67, but rather as a combined transfer and transfer station 14, 15, 82, 83 , which serve as a buffer for goods to be stored 2 or groups of goods as well as for outsourced goods 2 or groups of goods. The combined transfer and transfer station is arranged on one side of the goods transport device 7, 67. In this case, the transfer and transfer station 14, 15, 82, 83 in the superimposed storage levels 13 each have two goods receiving media 16, 87, wherein a first goods receiving carrier 16, 87 for the goods to be stored 2 or groups of goods and a second goods receiving carrier 16 , 87 for the goods to be outsourced 2 or groups of goods. The transfer and transfer stations 14, 15, 82, 83 can each have a first goods receiving carrier 16, 87 for the goods to be stored 2 or groups of goods and a second goods receiving carrier 16, 87 for the outsourced goods 2 or groups of goods only at a height level. Otherwise, the combined transfer and transfer station 14, 15, 82, 83 may have a first goods receiving carrier 16, 87 for the goods to be stored 2 or groups of goods and a second goods receiving carrier 16, 87 for the outsourced goods 2 or groups of goods even at a height level ,
According to the embodiments described above define the goods 2 on the goods receiving media 12, 16, 34, 73, 87, 90, 98 each have a hanging plane, perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the goods receiving media 12, 16, 34, 73, 87, 90, 98 is arranged. In particular for the goods receiving carriers 12, 34, 73, the hanging plane is parallel to the x-y plane. A direction of movement for the product 2 runs in these cases parallel to the z-direction.
The technical teaching disclosed in connection with the first goods receiving carrier 12 is also applicable to the goods receiving media 16, 23, 25, 34, 85, 87, 90 and 92 as well as with restrictions on the goods receiving carrier 73.
In the embodiments, reference was made to hangers 2, which is hung on hangers 4. Of course, it refers to specified technical teaching on goods that are stored in hanging bags. A hook of the hanging bag then replaces the hook of a hanger 4.
The embodiments show possible embodiments of the storage system, it being noted at this point that the invention is not limited to the specifically illustrated embodiments thereof, but rather also various combinations of the individual embodiments are mutually possible.
Furthermore, individual features or combinations of features from the illustrated and described different embodiments may represent for themselves, inventive or inventive solutions.
Above all, the individual embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 28 can form the subject of independent solutions according to the invention.
For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that for a better understanding of the construction of the storage system 1.80 and the goods transport device 7, 67, this or its components have been shown partially unevenly and / or enlarged and / or reduced in size.
