Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Einrichtung, insbesondere ein Kommissioniersystem, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a device, in particular a picking system, according to the preamble of the claim 1.

Automatische Lagerhaltungssysteme sind vielfach in der Weise aufgebaut, daß Transportbehälter auf einem Fördermedium durch das Lager geführt werden und die entsprechenden, aus dem Lager zu entnehmenden Waren in die Transportbehälter eingeworfen werden. Dabei ist jedem Auftrag ein bestimmter Transportbehälter zugeordnet. Am Ende des Weges durch das Lager ist der Transportbehälter mit allen verfügbaren Einzelpositionen des Auftrages gefüllt und kann zum Versand an den Kunden vorbereitet werden.Automatic warehousing systems are often like that built up that transport container on a medium the camp are managed and the corresponding ones from the camp thrown goods into the transport container will. Each order is a specific transport container assigned. At the end of the way through the camp is the Transport container with all available individual positions of the Order filled and can be prepared for shipping to the customer will.

Um die auch bei vollautomatischem Betrieb nicht gänzlich vermeidbaren menschlichen Eingriffe in das System zu ermöglichen und um eine optische Kontrolle zu gewährleisten, ist es bei solchen Systemen erforderlich, die Transportbehälter entsprechend zu kennzeichnen. Dies erfolgt im allgemeinen durch das Anbringen entsprechender Begleitzettel auf dem Transportbehälter oder den Einwurf solcher Belege in den Transportbehälter, wobei auf den Begleitzetteln alle für eine darauf bezeichnete Kommission vorgesehenen Einzelposten angeführt sind.In order to avoid those that are not entirely avoidable even with fully automatic operation to allow human intervention in the system and to ensure visual control, it is at such systems required, the transport container accordingly to mark. This is generally done through affixing appropriate accompanying notes to the transport container or throwing such receipts into the shipping container, where on the accompanying notes all for one marked on it Commission specified line items are listed.

Es sind Verfahren bekannt, die darin bestehen, einem noch leeren Transportbehälter einen bestimmten elektronisch gespeicherten Auftrag zuzuordnen. Dieser Transportbehälter wird daraufhin zu einer Druckerstation geführt, die den zu diesem Auftrag gehörigen Begleitzettel ausdruckt und in den Transportbehälter einwirft. Nachteilig bei solchen bekannten Verfahren ist, daß der Begleitzettel meist vor den entsprechenden Waren in den Transportbehälter eingeworfen wird und daher von diesen überdeckt wird. Eine Kontrolle des Inhalte des Transportbehälters ist daher nur nach einer Entleerung desselben möglich. Methods are known which consist of one more empty transport container a certain electronically stored Assign order. This transport container will then led to a printer station that the to this job appropriate accompanying sheet is printed out and placed in the transport container throws in. A disadvantage of such known methods is that the accompanying note is usually in front of the corresponding goods is thrown into the transport container and therefore by them is covered. Checking the contents of the transport container is therefore only possible after the same has been emptied.

Weiters wurde auch schon vorgeschlagen, Transportbehälter aus Kunststoff zu verwenden und diese elektrostatisch aufzuladen, um Begleitzettel an einer Außenseite eines Transportbehälters zu halten. Dabei ergibt sich allerdings der Nachteil, daß die Transportbehälter nicht nur die Beläge halten, sondern auch andere leichtere Gegenstände, wie Papierstücke und dgl. aber auch Schmutzpartikel anziehen. Außerdem ergibt sich durch das elektrostatische Aufladen der Transportbehälter, das meist mittels rotierender Bürsten erfolgt, eine entsprechende Abnutzung der Behälter und es kann bei einer Berührung des Transportbehälters durch das Bedienungspersonal zu unangenehmen elektrischen Entladungen kommen.Furthermore, it has also been suggested that shipping containers be made Use plastic and charge it electrostatically, for accompanying notes on the outside of a transport container to keep. However, there is the disadvantage that the Transport containers not only hold the pads, but also other lighter objects such as pieces of paper and the like also attract dirt particles. It also results from electrostatic charging of the transport container, that mostly by means of rotating brushes, a corresponding wear the container and it can be touched by the transport container uncomfortable by the operating personnel electrical discharges are coming.

Ziel der Erfindung ist es, diese Nachteile zu vermeiden und einen Einrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art vorzuschlagen, die ein einfaches und rasches Anbringen von Begleitzetteln an einer Außenseite eines Transportbehälters und Entfernen derselben vom Transportbehälter ermöglicht.The aim of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages and propose a device of the type mentioned at the outset, the a simple and quick attachment of accompanying notes to one Outside of a transport container and removing it from the Transport container allows.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies bei einer Einrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 erreicht.According to the invention, this is the case with a device of the beginning mentioned type by the characterizing features of the claim 1 reached.

Durch die vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen ist es möglich, entsprechende Begleitzettel auszudrucken und in die Halterung des betreffenden Transportbehälters einzustecken. Aus dieser Halterung kann der Begleitzettel leicht mittels der Saugdüse wieder entfernt werden.The proposed measures make it possible to take appropriate measures Print out the accompanying note and place it in the holder of the insert the relevant transport container. From this bracket the slip can easily be attached using the suction nozzle be removed again.

Durch die DE 23 49 848 A wurde bereits eine Förderanlage mit einer Zielsteuereinrichtung bekannt, bei der verfahrbare Hängegestelle, mit denen verschiedene Stationen ansteuerbar sind, mit einer oben offenen Aufnahme für Lochkarten versehen sind, deren Lochung den Zielort des betreffenden Hängegestelles in codierter Form bestimmt. Dabei ist die Aufnahme in vertikaler Richtung verschiebbar gehalten und mit abstehendne Zapfen versehen, die mit Führungen zusammenwirken, die im Bereich einer Adressenlesestation angeordnet sind.DE 23 49 848 A already has a conveyor system a target control device known, in the movable hanging rack, with which different stations can be controlled, are provided with a hole for punch cards open at the top, the perforation of the destination of the hanging rack in question coded form determined. The shot is vertical Held displaceable and provided with protruding pins, that cooperate with guides who work in the area of a Address reading station are arranged.

Bei dieser bekannten Lösung ist der Einsatz von lediglich maschinenlesbaren Adresskarten vorgesehen, die von Hand aus in die Aufnahme eingesetzt und aus dieser wieder entfernt werden müssen. Dabei ist aufgrund des Umstandes, daß lediglich Lochkarten verwendet werden, eine rasche Kontrolle, z.B. des Zieles des Hängegestelles durch ein Überwachungspersonal micht möglich.In this known solution, the use of only machine-readable Address cards provided by hand in the recording inserted and removed from it have to. It is due to the fact that only punch cards rapid control, e.g. of the goal of the hanging rack by a surveillance staff possible.

Die im Anspruch 2 angeführten Merkmale ermöglichen ein ungehindertes Einlegen der Begleitzettel in die Halterungen.The features stated in claim 2 enable an unimpeded Insert the accompanying notes in the holders.

Durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 3 ist es möglich, einen Begleitzettel auf sehr einfache Weise direkt vom Drucker in die Halterung des betreffenden Transportbehälters überzuführen, auch wenn die Transportbehälter unterschiedlich hoch sind. Die Steuerung der Höhenlage des Ausgabeschachtes des Druckers und der Saugdüse kann dabei in Abhängigkeit von Signalen einer Fühleranordnung erfolgen, die die Höhe des ankommenden Transportbehälters erfaßt.Due to the features of claim 3, it is possible to have an accompanying slip in a very simple way directly from the printer to the Transfer the holder of the relevant transport container, even if the transport containers are of different heights. The Control the height of the printer output chute and the suction nozzle can be a function of signals Sensor arrangement take place, the height of the incoming transport container detected.

Durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 4 ist sichergestellt, daß ein alter Begleitzettel sicher vor dem Ausdrucken und Einbringen eines neuen in die Halterung aus dieser entfernt wird.The features of claim 4 ensure that a old accompanying slip securely before printing and inserting a new one is removed from the holder.

Durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 5 ist ein sicheres Erkennen eines jeden Transportbehälters gewährleistet, sodaß die Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung einem bestimmten Behälter einen bestimmten Auftrag zuordnen kann und neben Ausgabeeinrichtungen den Drucker entsprechend ansteuern kann.The features of claim 5 ensure reliable detection of each transport container, so that the data processing device a particular container a particular one Assign order and next to output facilities can control the printer accordingly.

    Nach der Fig. 1 ist als Markiereinrichtung ein oberhalb der Rollenbahn 2 angeordneten Drucker 3 vorgesehen, der von der nicht dargestellten Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung gesteuert ist und den einzelnen Transportbehältern 1 zugeordnete Begleitzettel 8 ausdruckt. Dieser Drucker weist ein in vertikaler Richtung verstellbaren Ausgabeschacht 4 auf. Dieser ist in seiner Höhenlage in Abhängigkeit von den Signalen einer nicht dargestellten Sensoreinrichtung gesteuert und seine Ausgabeöffnung wird jeweils auf ein geringes Maß oberhalb der Oberkante des jeweiligen Transportbehälters 1 eingestellt, sodaß Transportbehälter 1 mit unterschiedlichen vertikalen Abmessungen zum Einsatz kommen können.1 is a marking device above the Roller conveyor 2 arranged printer 3 provided by the Data processing device, not shown, is controlled and the accompanying note 1 assigned to the individual transport containers 8 prints. This printer has a vertical direction adjustable Output slot 4 on. This is dependent on its altitude from the signals of a sensor device, not shown controlled and its dispensing opening is each one small measure above the top edge of the respective transport container 1 set so that transport container 1 with different vertical dimensions can be used.

    Wie aus den Fig. 2 und 4 zu ersehen ist, ist an der Stirnseite des Transportbehälters 1 im Bereich dessen oberen Randes eine Halterung 5 angeordnet, die nach oben zu offen ist.As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 4, is on the Front side of the transport container 1 in the area of its upper edge a bracket 5 is arranged, which is too open upwards.

    Eine solche Halterung 5 kann durch an drei Seiten der selben angeordnete Profile gebildet sein, die einen in diese Halterung 5 eingeschobenen Begleitzettel 8 an drei Seiten übergreifen und dadurch halten. Es ist aber auch möglich ein transparente Abdeckung vorzusehen, die in einem geringen Anstand von der Stirnfläche des Transportbehälters 1 an diesem gehalten ist, wobei an drei Seiten zumindest abschnittweise dicht an dicht mit der Stirnwand und der Abdichtung anliegende Zwischenlagen vorgesehen sind, um einen eingeschobenen Begleitzettel 8 sicher zu halten und ein Herausrutschen desselben zu verhindern.Such a bracket 5 can by on three sides of the same arranged profiles can be formed, one in this holder 5 overlap inserted slip 8 on three sides and hold by it. But it is also possible to have a transparent cover to be provided at a short distance from the face of the transport container 1 is held on this, with three sides, at least in sections, close to the front wall and intermediate layers adjacent to the seal are provided, to securely hold an inserted slip 8 and a To prevent it from slipping out.

    Zur Erfassung der Anwesenheit eines Transportbehälters 1 und dessen Größe sind der Saugdüse 7, bzw. dem Drucker 3 nicht dargestellte Sensoren vorgeordnet, die mit einer ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung verbunden sind, in die die Daten für einen bestimmten Auftrag eingegeben werden und die einen bestimmten Transportbehälter 1 einem solchen Auftrag zuordnet. Die Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung steuert den Drucker 3 und damit den Ausdruck eines den betreffenden Auftrag ausweisenden Begleitzettels 8, sobald der vorgesehene Transportbehälter 1, der mit einem Barcode versehen ist, in den Bereich des Druckers 3 gelangt. Sobald der Transportbehälter 1 einen bestimmten Platz erreicht hat, wird der ausgedruckte Begleitzettel 8 ausgegebenen und in die Halterung 5 des betreffenden Transportbehälters 1 geschoben, wobei die Mündung des Ausgabeschachtes 4 auf eine der Höhe des Transportbehälters 1 angepaßte Höhe eingestellt wird. Die Steuerung der Höhe des Ausgabeschachtes 4 kann dabei entweder in Abhängigkeit von den Signalen einer entsprechenden, die Größe des Transportbehälters 1 erfassenden Sensoreinrichtung erfolgen, oder aufgrund der Ablesung des auch Angaben über die Größe des Transportbehälters enthaltenden Barcodes des betreffenden Transportbehälters 1 durch eine als Leseeinrichtung für diesen dienende Sensoranordnung.To detect the presence of a transport container 1 and the size of the suction nozzle 7 and the printer 3 are not shown Upstream sensors that are also not shown Data processing device are connected, in which the Data are entered for a specific order and the one assigns certain transport container 1 to such an order. The Data processing device controls the printer 3 and thus the Printout of an accompanying slip showing the order in question 8, as soon as the intended transport container 1, with a Barcode is provided in the area of the printer 3. As soon as the transport container 1 has reached a certain place the printed accompanying note 8 is issued and placed in the holder 5 of the relevant transport container 1 pushed, the Mouth of the output shaft 4 to one of the height of the Transport container 1 adjusted height is set.
