Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transport and / or storage device having the features of the preamble of claim 1 and an arrangement of at least one such transport and / or storage device and a machine for filling receptacles. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for introducing and / or removing at least one receptacle, in particular medicament container, in such a transport and / or storage device. Finally, the invention relates to a method for producing such a transport and / or storage device.
  • transport and / or storage devices are usually designed as a simple storage boxes (or boxes). These usually have a rectangular bottom, on whose circumference at right angles thereto side surfaces are arranged, whereby a volume is generated for filling. It is also known to perform such storage boxes in different heights or sizes. Furthermore, the prior art suggests that storage boxes on the top and bottom with different receptacles or edges run to allow stacking of the storage boxes. Such storage boxes offer the ability to easily or compactly transport or store bulk material or small parts. Such storage boxes are for example in the EP 1713696 A1 , of the DE 10048825 A1 or the DE 202012005344 U1 shown.
  • Storage boxes known from the prior art offer a constant volume for receiving small goods or bulk goods.
  • the disadvantage is that the dimensions of such a storage device do not always correspond to a multiple of the dimensions of the small parts to be stored or transported. This also has a disadvantageous effect on automatic filling or removal. In fact, the filling of such a transport and / or storage device is meanwhile carried out predominantly automatically, wherein, for example, a robotic arm finishes small parts in such a transport and / or storage device.
  • the dimensions of the transport and / or storage devices do not correspond to a multiple of the dimensions of the contents, then it is after storage or transportation not possible to automatically remove the small parts introduced into the device in the same way again, since after a transport or storage it can no longer be assumed that the product is still in the same position.
  • the prior art offers several possible solution variants to solve the aforementioned problem, such as the use of a complex sensor and control / control unit.
  • the positions of the contents are determined in the transport and or storage devices and then a removal device (for example, a robot arm) is controlled or regulated by a control / control unit due to the detected positions.
  • a removal device for example, a robot arm
  • Another possibility is the provision of transport and / or storage devices in different sizes. However, this is associated with a very high cost in terms of storage and transport.
  • positioning masks which can be used in the transport and or storage devices and have a corresponding receiving opening to receive a respective small part, is possible. However, even in this case, the production of different positioning masks for all different sizes of small parts, which must be stored or transported, required.
