    摘要: The invention relates to a transport vehicle (7) for storing unit loads in a storage rack (1) and removing unit loads from a storage rack. The transport vehicle comprises a base frame (27), running wheels (29) which rest on a first guide (36) in a rollable manner, the first guide extending parallel with the longitudinal direction of the storage rack and in a first guide plane extending parallel with a driving plane, and a guide unit (31; 60; 62; 74; 86) which is mounted to the base frame via a bearing device (46; 61; 63; 75; 87) and has guide wheels (49) which rest on a second guide (47; 88) and are rollable in guide sections (48), the second guide extending parallel with the longitudinal direction of the storage rack and in a second guide plane intersecting the driving plane in order to move the transport vehicle in a guided manner. The bearing device comprises an elastic compensating element (53; 54; 67, 68; 79, 80) which is arranged in such a way that one of the guide wheels is movable relative to the base frame. The invention further relates to a method for storing different unit loads on differently classified storage spaces.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for storing hanging goods (2) in an automated storage system (1), comprising a stationary storage rack (5) with storing regions for the hanging goods (2) in storage levels (13) lying one above the other, and at least one goods transport device (7) having a base frame (30), which is displaceable in a first direction in front of the storage rack (5), and at least one storage and removal device (33) having a goods displacement means (42) which is displaceable relative to the base frame in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The hanging goods are moved by the goods displacement means between a goods receiving carrier (12) associated with one storage region and a goods receiving carrier (34) associated with the goods transport device, the goods receiving carrier (12) remaining in the storage regions in the storage rack (5). The invention further relates to an automated storage system for carrying out said method.

    摘要: A rack storage system includes first and second storage racks, a rack aisle therebetween, rack guide tracks arranged in pairs in driving planes above each other, a transport vehicle displaceable in the rack aisle, a transport vehicle lifting device with a vertically extending guide frame and a lift frame mounted thereon so as to be adjustable by a lift drive. A receiving device including lift guide tracks positionable relative to the rack guide tracks and by which the vehicle is transportable between the planes is arranged on the lift frame. Vertical first and second guide profiles are connected to the rack guide tracks. First and second lift guide tracks are mounted on the lift frame to be movable parallel to the rack guide tracks by guide devices. First and second coupling devices respectively couple the first and second lift guide tracks to the first and second guide profiles, respectively.

    摘要: A storage arrangement having multiple storage racks, a storage buffer device for interim buffering of a load during storage, a retrieval buffer device for interim buffering of a load during retrieval, and storage and retrieval devices for servicing the storage places of the storage racks is provided. The storage arrangement additionally comprises a storage vertical conveying device having multiple storage transport platforms and a retrieval vertical conveying device having multiple retrieval transport platforms. A storage conveying system is connected to the storage vertical conveying device, and a retrieval conveying system is connected to the retrieval vertical conveying device. A control system ensures that the storage transport platforms and the retrieval transport platforms are moved independently of one another. In addition, an order-picking system with a storage arrangement of the above-mentioned type and a method for operating the storage arrangement are provided.
