    摘要: The invention relates to an article container (2) for an overhead conveying device for transporting an article (4), with a bag body that can be adjusted between a transport position and a loading and/or unloading position, which bag body comprises a front wall (30) and a rear wall (31) made from a flexible material, a loading and/or unloading opening (34) formed on a first side of the bag body at least in regions between the front and rear wall, a side wall stop (46) formed on a second side of the bag body at least in some regions between the front wall and a rear wall, against which side wall stop (46) the article can be placed. The front wall forms a first front wall section (35a) and a second front wall section (35b) and comprises a base plate (36) in the first front wall section (35a). The rear wall comprises a first rear wall section (45a) and a second rear wall section (45b). The first rear wall section forms a transport rest (75) sloping in the direction of the side wall stop (46) when the bag body is in the transport position. Moreover, the invention relates to an unloading station (104) for automatic unloading of an article container.

    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 conveying device (1) having an accumulation area (SB) for accumulating objects (O, O1 . . . O2, Oa . . . Oj), and to an operating method for the conveying device (1). By means of a measuring device (L1), the object rear edge (KHO1) of a first object (O1) and the object front edge (KVO2) of a second object (O2) which follows the first object (O1) are detected. The position of the objects (O1, O2) is determined by means of rotation signals from the drives (M) of conveyor elements (2, 2M, 2L). For the second object (O2), a continuous curve of a speed reduction of a target speed (vSoll) is calculated, wherein the calculated stop position (PStop) of the object front edge (KVO2) of the second object (O2) is located at the position of the object rear edge (KHO1) of the stopped first object (O1), or between the object front edge (KVO1) of the stopped first object (O1) and the object rear edge (KHO1) of the stopped first object (O1). Subsequently, the second object (O2) is moved and stopped by means of the conveyor elements (2, 2M, 2L) on the basis of the calculated speed reduction.

    摘要: The invention relates to an unloading station (4) for automated unloading of an article container (2), which comprises an overhead conveying device (1) for transporting the article container (2) into the unloading station and for transporting the article container out of the unloading station, an opening and closing device (40) for adjusting a bag body between the closed position and the opened position and an unloading device (39) for unloading the bag body. The unloading device comprises an actuation device (56), by means of which the article container with the bag body can be tilted about a tilting axis (57) extending essentially in parallel to the longitudinal extension of the overhead conveying device between a provisioning position (58) and an unloading position (59), wherein in the unloading position an article (28) can be discharged from the article container through the unloading opening (29). Moreover, the invention relates to a method for the automated unloading of an article container.

    摘要: A method for operating a storage-and-retrieval unit (3) is specified, in which a rail line (1)/power-supply rail (6) is set to a hazard-operation voltage when a risk posed by the storage-and-retrieval unit (3) is detected. In the storage-and-retrieval unit (3) the level of the voltage applied to the rail line (1)/power-supply rail (6) is measured and a current path between the rail line (1)/power-supply rail (6) and a drive motor (5, 5a . . . 5c) of the storage-and-retrieval unit (3) disconnected when the voltage measured is below a threshold value associated with a hazardous situation or emergency. Furthermore, a storage-and-retrieval unit (3) as well as an automated rack storage system for performing the proposed method is specified.

    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.
