DE3216351A1 - Apparatus for introducing bar stock into honeycomb shelf compartments without the use of special stock boxes - Google Patents

Abstract

What is proposed is the introduction of bar stock into the compartments of honeycomb shelves by means of a shelf conveyor, on the lift-over platform (15) of which is provided a push-in carriage (1) which is open on the end faces and of which the bottom and side walls are formed by roller tables (2, 3) directly engaging under or surrounding the storage stock and on the end faces of which are provided positively guided (11) slides (9) which can be transferred from above into the path of movement of the push-in carriage (1), so as to cover the useful cross-section of the push-in carriage (1), and which, after the push-in carriage (1) has been transferred into a shelf compartment (8/14), lowered to the level of the push-in carriage (1), engage behind the storage stock located in the push-in carriage (1), so that the push-in carriage (1) can be returned onto the platform (15) of the shelf conveyor, leaving the storage stock in the shelf compartment (8/14). <IMAGE>

"Device for filling rod material in honeycomb shelf

compartments without the use of special material boxes = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = The present invention describes an apparatus for inserting rod material into honeycomb shelves without using a special one Material box.

Honeycomb shelves are one above the other and next to each other closely spaced shelves in which rod material is stored in the depths will. This is done with so-called material boxes, which are from a storage and retrieval vehicle be pushed into the honeycomb shelves with mechanical devices. For this it is necessary to equip the shelves with rollers yourself. One more way consists of equipping boxes themselves with so-called plastic gliders. In each In this case, the effort of a box is required. This makes a shelving system considerably more expensive, because in addition to the material of the steel structure, the material of the das To be stored good enclosing material box must be used.

The rollers on the shelves are also a significant cost factor. Even with the use of plastic glides, there are still enormous amounts of material per box Costs. In addition, these parts are all subject to wear and tear and have to be exchanged for certain operating hours.

The object of the present invention is to create a device with which rod material can be filled into the compartments of honeycomb shelves without that special material boxes must be used.

This is done according to the invention so that on a rack conveyor a device according to the invention is arranged, which is designed as a carriage and with a mechanical insert on the right and left in the honeycomb shelf compartments can be retracted. It is provided according to the invention, this slide-in trolley to be equipped with both vertical and horizontal rollers and a to form a complete roller trough insert. Between the vertical and horizontal The rod material to be stored is brought in and stored on rolls.

According to the invention it is further provided that this car is in the chosen one Shelf compartment to be inserted from the storage and retrieval vehicle with the mechanical drive and a counter slide that is rigidly attached to the stacker truck so that it can be moved vertically, to let down so far that it is the inner cross-section between the horizontal and vertical rollers and when pulling out the roller trough insert holds the material stored in the roller trough insert and in this way the enables the roller trough insert to be pulled out completely.

It is further provided according to the invention that the roller trough insert has sloping drainage plates on both sides, thus in the final phase of the extension the material does not cover the height difference between the horizontal rollers of the Roller trough insert and the fixed cross supports of the shelf falls down.

The advantage of the present invention is that the shelves are filled can be used without using special material boxes. Besides, this is Handling is designed to be accident-free and the material can be loaded with ease.

The present invention will now be described with reference to drawings described in detail.

1 shows a front view of the roller trough insert lowered counter slide.

Fig.2 shows a section AA through Fig.1 Fig.3 shows a longitudinal section through the roller trough insert.

The profile of the roller trough insert (1) can be clearly seen in FIG. that consists of the vertical guide rollers (2) arranged on the right and left and the horizontal guide rollers (3) is formed around the rod material (12). Man also very clearly recognizes the rollers (7) on the fixed frame of the roller trough insert are arranged below and which are arranged to be movable on the shelf supports (8). You can also see that the roller trough insert (1) with the drive (4) via the chain drive (5) in the longitudinal direction in the shelf compartment, which consists of the shelf support (13) and the Cross member (14) is formed, can be driven.

You can still see very clearly the counter slide (9), which the interior of the roller trough insert (1). It can be seen that this counter slide (9) in the counter slide guide (11) is mounted with the counter slide stroke (10) and and can be moved away. But you can also see that on the upper table of the storage and retrieval truck (15) the counter slide guide (11) firmly connected is.

The inventive device works as follows: On the The rack conveyor is in the rest position, the roller trough insert (1). This is filled with the rod material to be stored from above using a hoist.

Then the roller trough insert is activated via the chain drive (5) and the drive (4) (1) pushed into the honeycomb shelf compartment. The roller trough insert (1) runs with it the rollers (7) on the shelf supports (8).

After reaching the end position on the shelf, the counter slide (9) lowered by the counter slide stroke (10) and covers the inner cross-section of the roller trough insert (1). With the drive (4) (5) the roller trough insert is now (1) pulled back onto the storage and retrieval vehicle (15). The rod material (12) remains hang on the counter slide and roll opposite the vertical and horizontal guide rollers (2) (3) of the roller trough insert and lies down on the fixed cross member (14). So there is no case for the last part of the travel path of the roller trough insert (1) of the material takes place, the sliding plates are in the roller trough insert (1) on both sides (17) attached. Here the material glides slowly until just before the cross support (14) on the shelf and only has a very low drop height when the roller trough insert (1) has left the shelf. This ends the filling process of the honeycomb shelf. The material is removed by hand or with suitable devices that Are the subject of another invention.
