Abstract

Shelf storage for containers consisting of a pick-up area, several levels each with one or more storage areas and a pick-up device, characterized in that the pick-up device has 2 or more parallel platforms for receiving containers with a base plate, the pick-up device being able to be moved up and down and each The container is placed on a base plate at the pick-up point

Description

State of the art

• 1. The invention relates to a rack warehouse, in which containers can be stored and outsourced by means of a pickup including bottom plate. Such a device for a bearing is known, inter alia DE 10 2006 049 411 ,
• 2. This device DE 10 2006 049 uses a transfer unit that transfers the containers from the lifting platform to the shelves and removes them again. The shelves can be several times deep. The lifting platform itself has a cross conveyor and several independent lifting units. The self-contained lifting units are in turn higher than the highest of the containers.

• 3. Weiter ist bekannt die Schrift US 2006/0285947 welche eine Methode beschreibt um beispielsweise Frachtcontainer zu lagern und wieder aus dem Lager zu befördern. Dabei erfolgt die Ablage mittels einer Kontrolleinheit. Diese erlaubt horizontale Bewegungen der Behältnisse mit einer teleskopartiger Rollen- und Plattenkonstruktion.

This device has through the complex lifting unit a variety of noise potential and high costs in the preparation of the various mechanical parts of the device. In addition, an exact electronic control must be incorporated to be able to identify the containers after storage and redeployment in the lifting platform again.

• 3. Next, the font is known US 2006/0285947 which describes a method, for example, to store freight containers and to remove them from the warehouse. The storage takes place by means of a control unit. This allows horizontal movements of the containers with a telescopic roller and plate construction.

• 4. Ähnliches ist auch dargelegt in der Schrift US 5,615,992 in welcher die Behältnisse auf einer mit Rollen ausgestatteten Plattform sich befinden. Von dort aus können die Behältnisse dann in die einzelnen Regale geschoben werden die auf der gesamten Fläche mit Rollen ausgestattet sind.

In this invention, the telescopic roller and plate construction poses a risk to the uninterruptible feed. Due to the leverage weight limits can be exceeded. The friction points between the plates can be susceptible to interference. A high maintenance is not excluded. The rear containers is the shelves are difficult to reach automatically.

• 4. The same is also stated in Scripture US 5,615,992 in which the containers are on a platform equipped with rollers. From there, the containers can then be pushed into the individual shelves which are equipped with rollers on the entire surface.

Disadvantage of this device is that the rollers can damage the container to be stored. In addition, the container to be stored on the ground must be level, otherwise a storage and retrieval with this system is not possible. All of the above three systems is penned that a complex processing of the input and display process is given. Third parties such as the individual customer, the use of these systems is not readily possible. The operation must be done by experienced employees.

The object of the invention is to provide a storage device that does both with simple mechanical components as well as possible with a simple process cost and little prone to failure. In addition, it is necessary that a wide variety of containers can be easily and quickly stored and swapped out again. The size of the containers ranges from cars to truck swap bodies. Similarly, standard containers can be stored with this system. A conversion is not necessary. Likewise, it must be ensured if several containers are stacked one behind the other in a rack row that they can be transported.

Another object of the invention is to provide a simple operation. Third parties who do not work in the warehouse, the position device must be accessible so that they can easily look at the goods stored by you. Therefore, the main task is to create a storage system similar to a locker. This shelf storage can then be operated by customers without direct support by third parties, simply by means of an identification means.

A very simple and inexpensive storage system can be achieved according to the invention in that the pick-up device consists of two platforms for receiving floor slabs. The fact that these can be moved up and down, the first container can be removed from a row of shelves. On the second platform then the rear container can be made. Subsequently, the unused container, in this case the front, is reset. Thereafter, the pickup device returns to the pickup point. At the pick-up point, the container can then be placed on the bottom plate or picked up from there. The bottom plate also ensures that users can operate the container themselves.

The advantage is that the platform has a device for pushing and pulling the bottom plate. As a result, the container can be traceably positioned centrally with a controller and can also be picked up again.

The fact that the bottom plate is on rollers, it can be moved without jerky movement and greater mechanical force. This is made possible by the rails located in the storage levels.

For easy fixing are on the bottom plate gripping points for the sliding and pulling device appropriate. So that customers can pick up their container independently or have to look at this have a means of identification. When reading the same at the pick-up point, the container in question is then transported from the shelf storage to the collection point and returned again by means of a controller.

The attached 2 drawings illustrate a suitable embodiment of the invention.

1 , Shown is a partially sectioned side view of the storage device with the containers, the pick-up device, the pick-up point and the platforms.

2 , Visible is the bottom plate, the platform and the roles of the bottom plate together with the pulling and pushing device.

In detail

Shown in 1 a sectional side view of the shelf storage consisting of the pickup device ( 2 ) two platforms ( 3 ), the containers ( 4 ) and several shelf levels. Furthermore, the pick-up place ( 5 ) can be seen. In this embodiment of the invention, it can be seen that when removing the rear container ( 4 ) the front container ( 4 ) first on the upper platform ( 3 ) is pulled. Then the rear container ( 4 ) on the lower platform ( 3 ) drawn. Then the output of the selected container ( 4 ) at the pick-up point ( 5 ). Then or before then the front container ( 4 ) back to the warehouse ( 1 ) reset. At the pick-up point is the shelf control ( 6 ) to which user, via an identification means with the aid of a controller, the container ( 4 ) individually request and return.

With the 2 the pickup device ( 2 ) together with the 2 platforms ( 3 ) and the bottom plate ( 7 ) and cylinder ( 8th ) to push and pull, the gripping point ( 9 ) and the roles ( 10 ) on the bottom plate ( 7 ).

The oblique view (A) shows how the base plate is pulled over the rear gripping point on the respective platform. On this bottom plate is then the container.

In the side view (B) is particularly clear that the gripping point of the platform is located at the rear end of the bottom plate.

In the view from below (C) the cylinders, the gripping points and the bottom plate together with rollers are visible. The gripping points are arranged in such a way that the cylinders can start on a wide level.
