  • Patent number: 11208264
    Abstract: A storage and transport system in a warehouse for an object intended to be stored in a rack of the warehouse. The system includes: a bin suitable for accommodating the object; and a powered trolley capable of climbing along the rack including a device for gripping and removing the bin. The gripping and removal device includes a support mounted so as to be movable relative to the chassis of the trolley between: an extended position, in which the support extends at least partially on a lateral edge of the carriage out of alignment with the chassis; and a retracted position, in which the support is housed opposite the chassis. The support includes a structural element and a protruding finger fixed with respect to the structural element and facing upward. The bottom of the bin has a fingerprint configured to accommodate a portion of the finger.

  • Patent number: 10822169
    Abstract: An order picking system includes an automatic guided trolley for picking objects for an order in at least one shelving and having at least two running wheels and gear wheel supports cooperating with two pairs of uprights so as to allow the trolley to rise along the uprights. A stretched roller chain is fixed on each of the uprights, the chain extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the upright to which it is fixed to receive a tooth of the gear wheel cooperating with the upright to which it is fixed. Two adjacent rollers of the chain are spaced apart by the pitch value of the gear wheel. Each movable support has a securing element with one of the four uprights to maintain a predetermined distance between the axis of the gear wheel mounted on the movable support and the chain receiving the teeth of the gear wheel.

  • Patent number: 10730696
    Abstract: An order picking system includes an automated guided trolley with at least two rolling wheels for taking objects of an order from at least one rack and two posts. The automated guided trolley includes climbing elements, which are adapted to cooperate with the posts so as to enable the trolley to rise along the post and prevent the tilting of the trolley, and which includes at least one counter-wheel intended to roll on one of the posts, mounted on a movable bracket.

  • Patent number: 10683168
    Abstract: An automated guided trolley for transport and/or handling of a load. The automated guided trolley includes a main frame for receiving the load and a carrier frame having two walking beams pivotally mounted relative to each other by a pivot and respectively extending forwards and backwards of the trolley and each equipped with at least one idler wheel, one of the walking beams being mounted on two differential-drive wheels whose axes are situated in the transverse plane of the main frame. The trolley includes an articulation of the main frame relative to the balanced wheel extending forwardly and relative to the rearwardly extending balanced wheel, configured so that the assembly of the main frame with the carrier frame is sensibly isostatic.
