Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for storing standardized goods in a high-bay warehouse.
• the standardized goods are taken over by a transfer device from the means of transport and / or a storage area and transferred to a warehouse-internal transport system.
• the outsourcing process takes place in the reverse order.
• the reloading devices are typically set up on the outer edges of the high-bay warehouse and form the interface between the warehouse-internal transport and the external supply of the standardized goods to the high-bay warehouse.
• the profitability of the handling process in a high-bay warehouse depends on the quantity or time required to handle the standardized goods. Given the currently increasing capacities of ocean-going vessels and the limited Given the space available in the existing ports, there is a need to further shorten handling times without increasing the space required by a high-bay warehouse and thus improving profitability.
• the limiting element in the previous high-bay warehouses and their modes of operation is the reloading process at the outer edges of the high-bay warehouse and the subsequent transport process in the high-bay warehouse. As the size of the high-bay warehouse increases, the storage capacity increases, but the reloading options at the outer edges does not increase in the same way.
• the object of the invention is to increase the number of reloading options in a high-bay warehouse and to shorten the necessary turnaround time.
• the object of the invention is achieved by the features of the device according to claim 1.
• the device has at least one horizontal traffic plane perpendicular to the plane of movement of the transport system.
• the traffic level can be driven on by at least one external means of transport and the traffic level is accessible to the external means of transport from at least one side.
• the transport system of the high-bay warehouse has means with which the stored goods are taken over directly from the external means of transport and / or transferred to the means of transport by a vertical movement of the stored goods.
• the exchange location for transferring the stored goods to the incoming or outgoing external means of transport can be freely positioned along a line within the movement plane of the transport system that is parallel to the traffic level.
• Freely positionable means that the parallel line on which the exchange location can be freely positioned, except for the structural one necessary classifications beyond that has no further discrete classifications to determine an exchange location.
• one work step can be completely saved, since no additional reloading device is required. Because the goods are no longer reloaded at the outer edges or at points defined in advance, the resulting degree of freedom can be used to reduce the distance between the storage location and the exchange location.
• the change in the line-like interface design to a surface interface of the reloading process enables larger high-bay warehouses in terms of floor space without increasing the necessary distance between the storage location and the exchange location
• inventions of the device are shown in the features of claims 2 to 13. There are preferably more than 2, even more preferably more than 5, most preferably more than 10 planes of movement with an associated warehouse-internal transport system. As the size of the high-bay warehouse increases, better use can be made of the flexibility created by the device according to the invention to shorten the turnaround time.
• the exchange location for transferring the stored goods to the incoming or outgoing external means of transport can be freely positioned.
• a means of transport can be unloaded with one means of transport and then loaded directly with the second means of transport.
• the traffic level can preferably be driven simultaneously by different external means of transport. This preferred embodiment ensures that different flows of stored goods, which are transported by different means of transport in the high-bay warehouse, are turned over at the same time.
• the traffic level can be driven on by an autonomously driving transport vehicle.
• an autonomously driving transport vehicle This is particularly preferred in seaports, since autonomously driving transport vehicles are increasingly being used for the handling of stored goods in seaports. This means that stored goods can be stored or removed from a normal main means of transport.
• the traffic level can be accessed from several sides, preferably from opposite sides. This makes it possible that similar means of transport, such as. B. trucks and autonomously driving transport vehicles can move in one plane without disrupting the flow of stored goods. It is advantageous if the corresponding lanes or flows of stored goods do not interfere with one another. This is particularly important when autonomous transport vehicles and manually operated transport vehicles meet. Appropriate safety rules and / or traffic regulations should preferably be observed.
• the traffic level is below at least one storage level, preferably all storage levels. Since most of the means of transport are loaded with stored goods from above, this simplifies the mechanics of the internal transport system for loading and unloading the stored goods from the means of transport.
• the traffic level is ideally connected to an external traffic feeder by at least one ramp and / or an incision in the terrain and the ramp and / or incision in the terrain does not overcome more than 1.5 m, preferably not more than 1.0 m, even more preferably not more than 0.5 m height difference between the traffic level and the external traffic feed.
• This has the advantage that the access to the high-bay warehouse is suitable for a wide variety of means of transport is simplified. In particular when combining, for example, trucks with rail-bound means of transport, a simple routing is achieved in this way. This is particularly preferable for high-bay warehouses as a transhipment facility for maritime trade, since civil engineering below the waterline is associated with high costs near the coast.
• a preferred embodiment is that the high-bay warehouse and the height necessary for the passage of the external means of transport are elevated.
• This has the advantage that, regardless of the traffic level and an associated traffic route, a traffic route can be present below the high-bay warehouse.
• the high-bay warehouse is to be used for transshipment to inland vessels and appropriate connections are to be implemented.
• the drivable route within the traffic level has an access or exit road running largely perpendicular to the plane of movement of the internal transport system to reach the movement plane containing the exchange location and a drivable exchange route along the parallel line of the freely positionable exchange location. With this design, the risk of congestion from external means of transport along the parallel line can be reduced.
• the traffic level consists of more than 50%, more preferably more than 70%, even more preferably more than 90% of drivable roads. This enables an even greater throughput of external means of transport with a reduced risk of congestion.
• the object of the invention is achieved by a method having the features according to independent claim 14.
• the supply and / or removal of the stored goods by the external means of transport to the exchange location with the internal means of transport takes place within the high-bay warehouse along at least one route in the horizontal traffic plane, which is perpendicular to the plane of movement of the transport system.
• the transport system takes over and / or transfers the stored goods from the external means of transport by moving the stored goods vertically.
• the vertical movement for taking over and / or transferring the stored goods takes place at the exchange location within a line of the movement plane of the transport system that is congruent or parallel to the traffic level and the exchange location is freely positioned within the congruent or parallel line.
• Preferred embodiments of the method are presented with the features of claims 15 to 24.
• the external means of transport preferably reaches the plane of movement containing the exchange location through an access or exit road that is largely perpendicular to the plane of movement, and the external means of transport reaches the exchange location along the congruent or parallel line through a passable exchange route. This reduces the travel distance on the interchange route and avoids congestion within the interchange route.
• Different types of external means of transport are preferably used for the supply and removal of the stored goods.
• different types of transport means, for example, the combination of rail and road and / or, for example, the combination of manually and autonomously driving vehicles as means of transport.
• At least two directions of flow of stored goods are used for the supply and removal of the stored goods to the high-bay warehouse.
• two directions of storage goods flow can be implemented, which do not interfere with one another and take into account possible differences in capacity or speed differences of the various means of transport.
• the flow of goods or the handling process should be advantageously adapted to the means of transport.
• Autonomous transport vehicles are ideally used for the supply and removal of the stored goods in one direction of flow of stored goods and for another direction of the flow of stored goods, preferably articulated trucks, preferably trucks, are used for the supply and removal of the stored goods.
• the process is ideally adapted to the conditions of existing flows of stored goods in seaports.
• At least two storage goods flow directions are preferably operated within a traffic level, preferably simultaneously. This simplifies the coordination of the flow of stored goods and the movements of the transport system of the high-bay warehouse. Furthermore, the construction of the traffic level is simplified, since no transfer points have to be implemented for a vertical movement of the stored goods through the traffic level.
• two directions of flow of storage goods are operated, preferably simultaneously, along parallel routes in the horizontal traffic plane. This simplifies traffic management within the traffic level compared to, for example, intersecting routes.
• one direction of flow of goods is operated on the sea side and the second direction of flow of goods is operated on the land side.
• the storage goods flow directions take over the conditions of the supra-regional transport directions of the storage goods and do not negatively influence them.
• the external means of transport pass under at least one storage level, preferably all storage levels. The transport system for stored goods within the warehouse can thus easily load and unload the external means of transport, since external means of transport are usually loaded and unloaded from above.
