Improved method for storing goods in composite cell stores using push and / or lifting conveyors

The invention relates to an improved method for storing goods by means of push and / or lift conveying in air-conditioned and / or coolable composite bearings with a plurality of rows next to one another and one above the other arranged cells. In particular, the invention relates to methods of storing goods under Use of storage racks with a metal, concrete or mixed structure, the storage racks forming in rack arrangements hen are set up and their cells or compartments to accommodate adjustable containers or loading plates, so-called pallets.

With such storage methods, the individual rack arrangements are generally separated from one another by intermediate aisles separated. These intermediate aisles serve as routes for the delivery and removal of the containers or Pallets in the course of a programmed sequence of movements

certain, self-propelled, steered or remote-controlled Push and lift conveyors are used. These are mostly pallet trucks with motor vehicles or Driving drive, with roller loading platform or with sliding guides for the loads to be adjusted, or else with lifting forks, such devices generally having considerable dimensions by for example, correspond to the transverse width of a loading cell of the rows of shelves. As a result, there is a known storage methods with the described rack arrangements and funding of the heavy Disadvantage that the intermediate aisles serving as driveways are up to a third of the total available Can make out the storage room, are withdrawn from the actual storage purpose.

The invention is based on the object of eliminating the disadvantage described, a method for To provide for the storage of goods in rack arrangements consisting of rows of racks arranged next to one another, in which the existing storage space can be used completely for storage purposes and nevertheless the use of Push and lifting conveyors, in particular lifting trucks with loading platforms, sliding guides or lifting forks for delivery and removing the containers or pallets is possible.

In the method according to the invention for storing goods in shelving arrangements. Rows of shelves

should also receive funding of all kinds, in particular Pallet trucks, which can be moved on one or more rails under forced guidance, such as e.g. Stacking cranes or elevators and the like, or steerable conveying means such as push and lift trucks, forklifts and the like., The arrangement of the guide slide or rails as required within or outside of the Intermediate aisles, or on the shelves themselves, on their own Supports to be provided that are independent of the shelf structure should be possible. Finally, are you supposed to? according to the invention Storage method Storage racks with a particularly simple structure are used, ■ which should continue to contribute to the more efficient use of the existing storage space.

The task at hand is related to a method for storing goods in rack arrangements from different

with mutually arranged rows of shelves and / between the Aisles running through shelving arrangements for the funds required for the delivery and removal of the stored goods according to the invention solved by protruding from the shelves in the area of the intermediate aisles and brackets arranged at the height of the rack cells are provided to accommodate further adjustable pallets and / or to support the container, which also leads to rows of cells running across the intermediate aisles formed and the intermediate aisles themselves for the storage of goods, but also after removal of the stored goods Pallets or containers for, moving the

Push and lift conveyors for delivery and Removal of goods are usable.

According to the invention, the forms in each case between two Eegalanordungen running intermediate aisle is not just a lane for funds to be used, but also at the same time an additional space available for the storage of goods, which after filling out the Shelf cells of the rows of shelves delimiting the relevant intermediate aisle with the conveying means moving backwards iait can be occupied with further pallets or containers.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the exemplary drawings. Show it:

Fig * 2 is a perspective view of the individual means to implement the storage method according to the invention;

Figure 3 is a front view of a multiple bearing Shelf arrangements and some with stored containers.

In the drawing, 10 shelf arrangements are designated, the shelves of which are each in adjacent rows are arranged. The individual shelf arrangements

are separated from one another by intermediate passages 11. ^ The shelves themselves can be made of metal framework or metal profiles, of concrete or of a combination Concrete and metal construction, for example with concrete stands and metal spars or vice versa, exist. Each shelf arrangement is made up of two rows of shelves, one on top of the other and one on top of the other arranged storage compartments or storage cells 12 and 13, which against respective intermediate aisles 11a and 11b are open. Each intermediate aisle forms a lane for a pushing and lifting conveyor, that through his "adjustment along such an intermediate aisle access to the individual Shelf cells are permitted for the delivery or removal of goods. In Fig. 1, such a thrust and lifting conveyors that are movable on a guide rail are shown, but the invention is not limited to this embodiment shown only as an example. In the example shown, there is one on the floor of the intermediate aisle 11 arranged guide rail 14 a push and lifting conveyor 15 with portal structure 16 and loading platform 17 intended. This straddle carrier is movable back and forth in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate aisle 11, while its loading platform 17 with loading rollers 18 and telescopic forks 19 on the portal structure 16 can be moved up and down. The goods to be delivered can be in Container 20 stowed and inserted into the individual shelf cells 12 and 13, as shown

or the goods can be delivered to the rack cells on pallets (not shown). To support the pallets or containers 20, angle profiles 22 are attached to the uprights 21, which ^{form supports for the pallets or containers on the inside of the ß} level cells (FIGS. 1 and 2). But it is also possible to use fixed floor boards or the like. to be provided as cell floors to support the containers or pallets.

However, it is essential for the invention that in each case the shelf uprights 21 are also in the area of the intermediate aisles projecting consoles or the like arranged in each case at the level of the cell bottoms or supports. are provided. Accordingly, in the illustrated th embodiment, the angle profiles 22 extended towards the intermediate passage 11 out that they these extensions form opposing consoles 22a and 22b. Supports on these consoles the pallets or containers 20a, which are parked in the transverse direction to the intermediate aisles 11 in these be, whereby in the transverse direction to the longitudinal regions of the cone cells 12, 13 running contiguously Rows of storage cells are formed. Thus, on the basis of the storage method according to the invention the entire space of all intermediate aisles 11 can also be used for storage purposes, however the intermediate aisles also for the flow of the delivery and removal movements of the funds To be available.

In this context it can be seen from Fig. 1, as after the side cells have been completely filled with containers 20 by the conveying means 15 as well nor the space of the intermediate aisle with further containers 20a with support thereof, can be occupied on the consoles 22a, 22b ″. It goes without saying that the stacked containers should have a sufficient distance in the vertical direction so that the loading platform 17 is brought in and out smoothly can be. It does not matter whether the containers are stored from above to below or whether they are removed from bottom to top, or vice versa. In a practical example you will do something like this:

The conveyor 15 'is first the containers or pallets in the side cells of each intermediate aisle to adjust. As soon as these cells are all occupied, the conveyor will start at the rear end of the intermediate aisle and move back further to the front Place containers or pallets on the consoles protruding into the aisle. Removal takes place in the opposite direction of movement. To make it easier to put the containers in the cells, rollers " be arranged on the angle profiles 22 and also cooperate slide with the loading platform of the conveyor. '

Instead of being guided on a rail 14, the conveying means 15 can have steerable wheels and through an operator or a driver can be controlled

the. Instead of the loading platform 17 with castors 18,
the pallet truck can use telescopic forks, rotating forks or
fixed forks on v / iron. In addition, the sequence of movements of the conveying means 15 can also be fully automated in a manner known per se by the
Sequence of movements for the delivery and / or removal process via control and storage circuits
as well as a data processor located outside the warehouse. : can be controlled according to an appropriate program.

It goes without saying that while maintaining the concept of the invention, the execution details compared to described and illustrated embodiment can be largely modified without the claimed scope of the present invention is exceeded.
