  • Patent number: 11572230
    Abstract: The parcel distributor is a modular set with additional storage module in the form of a ceiling box set on a corner box to which it is rigidly connected and coupled by a cantilever lift mounted in a vertical shaft formed in the support rack frames in both boxes. In each module, between their cantilever racks, there is an electrically driven Cartesian manipulator. On the Cartesian manipulator trolley, there is a grabbing mechanism for taking trays from the front or rear cantilever rack. The window for sending and collecting parcels in the distributor is a locker, preferably in the operating panel, which has an electrically lifted lock cooperating with a ratchet lock and limit switches blocking its lower position when the locker door is open.

  • Publication number: 20210330111
    Abstract: A programmatically integrated cooling module and freezing module. In the cooling module, the front and rear racks with cantilever storage slots for transportation baskets are installed in parallel and have a spacing greater than the width of the transportation basket. In the vertical plane of symmetry between the racks, there is a Cartesian frame manipulator with a trolley and a gripping mechanism. The internal space of the cooling module is circulated with cooling air at a stabilised temperature in the range between 1° C. and 8° C. (optimally 4° C.), produced by a refrigeration unit. On the front wall of the cooling module housing, below the storage slots of the front rack, there are sending and collecting windows. The windows are designed as sluices with a drawer whose rear opening is periodically closed by a movable rear partition and which at the front has a single-leaf door hinged vertically and locked by an electromagnetic lock.
