METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STORING PAPER ROLLS - FÖR-FARANDE OCH ANORDNING FÖR LAGRING AV PAPPERSRULLAR

The present invention relates to a method for storing paper rolls in a warehouse, in which the paper rolls are imported and stored on top of each other and further processed, and in which the actuator has a separate transport trolley for transferring the paper roll from the actuator to the elongate shelf corridors and back from the actuator.

Finnish patent application 802035 discloses a warehouse in which goods are moved on pallets or in containers.

A known method and apparatus for storing paper rolls in a warehouse is disclosed in Finnish patent application 864705. The object of the invention is to further develop this method and apparatus.

The method according to the invention is characterized in that the paper rolls are brought into storage in a lying position at an entry station, from which the actuator carriage lifts at least one roll at a time and takes it to an actuator which travels to a designated storage location. in the jet corridor of the warehouse, which is reserved in advance for rolls of paper of that size. By means of the invention, the storage space can be used as well as possible in the height, depth and lateral directions. Thus, for example, in the depth direction of the shelves without shelves, the shelf can accommodate more short rollers and correspondingly fewer long rollers in the same corridor, so that the utilization rate of the warehouse can be optimized. The computer calculates and optimizes the utilization rate.

When the rolls of paper are handled in this way in a position lying through the entire warehouse, their damage is very unfortunate. and the benefits can be used to the fullest extent possible. Rolls of the same size are always placed in one and the same waste corridor reserved for them.

The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method described above. The apparatus includes a storage actuator, such as a shelving elevator, which allows the rolls of paper entering the warehouse to be placed in and removed from the warehouse for further delivery, and the storage consists of elongate shelving corridors to which the transport carriage is transported for storing and removing paper rolls. The apparatus according to the invention is characterized in that the storage corridor and the transport path of the transport trolley are connected in the corridor. By means of the invention, the storage space can be used as well as possible in terms of height, length and side. Such a warehouse with its equipment can in principle be built in any space.

Another embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the scrubbing corridors have U-shaped rails connected to each other by a downwardly curved intermediate plane on which a roll of paper can be placed for storage and in which the U-shaped rails the wheels of the transport carriage run. Such a solution is advantageous and the own weight of the paper roll cannot damage the circumferential layer of the roll during storage, because the bearing surface of the roll is large enough.

The invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which

Figure 1 shows a top view of the warehouse.

Figure 2 shows a section taken along the line II-II in Figure 1.

Figure 3 shows a section taken along the line III-III in Figure 1.

Figure 4 shows the transport carriage with paper rolls obliquely from above.

The warehouse is filled with a forklift by bringing one or more rolls of paper at a time to the input station 4, where the rolls are lined up in succession. The rollers are brought to a lying position. At this point, the roll dimension data and paper quality data are automatically read from the barcode into the warehouse control system's memory or the data is manually reported by the truck driver with a switch. The transport carriage 3 belonging to the transport elevator 2 takes the paper roll from the entry station to the waste transport, which further transports the transport carriage and the paper roll on it to a specific point in the warehouse where the transport carriage 3 leaves to take the paper roll to the waste corridor. Shelf corridors are filled in this way with paper rolls. When the drive needs a specific roll of paper, the shelf elevator first searches for the correct sliding corridor, after which the transport trolley 3 retrieves the paper roll from the sliding corridor, delivers it to the utility, which further takes the . There are two adjacent utility blocks in the warehouse, between which a shelf elevator passes. The carrying table of the shelving elevator can be pivoted 180 ° about the vertical axis so that the ____: transport carriage 3 on it can be pivoted so that the front fork, i.e. the front part of the carriage 3, passes into the shelving passages on both sides of the shelving elevator. The shelf is operated by U-shaped rails 6, which are connected to each other by a downwardly curved intermediate plane 7, on which a roll of paper can be placed for storage and in which: the U-shaped rails run the wheels of the transport carriage 3. When the rolls of paper are handled throughout the warehouse in a lying position, there is no risk of tipping over, which is often possible when the rolls are stacked vertically on top of each other. The method and device according to the invention provide the best possible storage capacity.

Claims (3)

4 80863 A method for storing paper rolls in a warehouse, in which the paper rolls are imported and stored on top of each other and further processed, and in which the actuator (2) has a separate transport carriage (3) for transferring the paper roll from the actuator to the elongate corridors and from the warehouse to the actuator (2) the paper rolls are brought into storage in a supine position at an entry station (4), from which the transport carriage (3) of the actuator (2) lifts at least one roll at a time and takes it to the actuator which travels to a specified storage location and the transport carriage (3) of the actuator (2) at a location specified by the computer in the storage shelf aisle, which is pre-reserved for rolls of paper of that size. Apparatus for carrying out the method according to claim 1, the apparatus comprising a storage actuator, such as a shelf elevator (2), by which the paper rolls entering the warehouse can be placed in and removed from the warehouse for further delivery, and the storage consists of elongate shelf corridors with a shelf elevator (2) (3) is transportable for storing and removing paper rolls, characterized in that the paper roll storage platform (7) and the transport carriage path (6) are connected in the scrubbing corridor.
