Description

technical field

The present invention relates to a transport system according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

State of the art

Transport systems are already known from the prior art, in which, when transport goods are brought into the transport vehicle, they are scanned before they are loaded and corresponding information is stored in a database and processed further there. For example, when delivering overseas goods, these are first placed individually in containers, transported and then individually placed in a transport vehicle and then delivered. The delivery of such transport goods turns out to be relatively cumbersome and requires a high level of logistical effort, since the transport goods are each transported individually in different containers.

Presentation of the invention

The present invention is based on the object of eliminating the aforementioned disadvantages and creating a transport system which simplifies and more or less automates the transport of goods to be transported compared to the prior art, without requiring a great deal of logistical effort.

According to the invention, the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous refinements and developments of the transport system according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.

implementation of the invention

How out 1 As can be seen, the transport system 1 according to the invention comprises in any case a box- or container-like container 10 for accommodating transport goods and for placing them in a transport vehicle 13, the container 10 having at least one closable receiving opening 100 through which the transport goods are introduced into the container 10.

According to the invention, the present transport system 1 is characterized in that at least one contactless, digital data acquisition unit 11 is provided on or in the container 10, which is designed to automatically read data located on or in the transport goods to be brought into the container 10 as soon as these into the container 10, with the transport system 1 also comprising a data memory 12, in which the data recorded by the data acquisition unit 11 and/or the type, the type and/or the quantity of the transported goods are stored together with information data about the container 10 are filed.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the reception of a container 10 within one or more transport vehicles 13, 14 is recorded accordingly and stored in the database together with the associated data on the transport goods placed in the respective container 10.

The data acquisition unit 11 is particularly advantageously placed in area B (identified by the dashed line) of the receiving opening 100 of the container 10 and is preferably a scanner, wherein the data acquisition unit 11 can have at least one optical acquisition element.

In another in 1 In the particularly preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated, a plurality of data acquisition units 11 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the container 10, which are able to acquire the goods to be transported from all sides.

Of course, other types of data acquisition unit 11 without an optical acquisition device can also be used to acquire the goods in transit, such as via radio signals (Bluetooth, NFC, etc.), with corresponding signal transmitters in the goods in transit can be arranged, which emit a signal that can be received by the data acquisition unit 11 .

In another in 1 illustrated, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the transport system 1 comprises at least one transport vehicle 13, 14, wherein the transport vehicle 13, 14 has a receptacle 130, 140, in which at least one or more containers 10 is positively received / are.

For the form-fitting introduction of a container 10 into a transport vehicle 13, 14, it can be advantageous for the container 10 to have at least one receptacle or recess 102 on both sides of its underside 101, extending in the longitudinal and/or transverse direction L of the container 10, for a wheel housing or for Recording the fork of a forklift truck, the height and depth of which is preferably >=25cm in each case.

The invention will be explained in more detail below using a practical example: An empty item to be transported is felt with various objects in the factory. The data acquisition unit 11 registers this transport item and indicates what and how many of these transport items are in the container 10 . Several of these containers 10 of this type are loaded into a large transporter (e.g. a semitrailer truck). The semi-trailer truck travels its route and unloads the individual containers 10 in different distribution camps.

According to the invention, the container 10 can be designed as a "pledged item", in which case, for example, a fully loaded container 10 is exchanged for an empty container 10, so that the end customer receives the full container 10 as a small storage space, and his goods from this - if required - can take out from day to day.

In these distribution warehouses, the containers 10 are collected and individually loaded into small vans with a standard box body. The small transporter can now transport its delivery to the end customer. The end customer unloads his goods, with the unloaded containers 10 being automatically recorded by the data acquisition unit 11 and marked in the data memory 12 as having been delivered. The small transporter and its now empty loaded container 10 are driven back to the collection point and the articulated lorry is driven back empty to the factory for the next large delivery.
