  • Publication number: 20220371424
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated guide vehicle (10) for transporting objects (38) comprising a support structure (12) with an outer contour (14), a chassis (16) fastened to the support structure (12) having at least one first wheel (18) and one second wheel (20), wherein the first wheel (18) and the second wheel (20) are respectively rotatably mounted in the chassis (16) about a first axis of rotation (D1) and a second axis of rotation (D2), a drive unit (22), with which the first wheel (18) and the second wheel (20) can be driven independently from one another, a lifting mechanism (32) cooperating with the support structure (12) for lifting and lowering at least one support portion (39) which cooperates therewith to transport the objects, and a store (70) for electrical energy, which in plan view protrudes in portions beyond the outer contour (14) of the support structure (12), wherein the energy store (70) is movably fastened to the support structure (12).

  • Publication number: 20220281338
    Abstract: A charging robot for charging an electrical energy store of a vehicle, includes a supporting structure, at least one wheel which is fastened rotatably to the supporting structure, a drive unit which is fastened to the supporting structure and with which the wheel can be driven, a first receiving compartment which is fastened to the supporting structure or is formed by the supporting structure, and a second receiving compartment which is fastened to the supporting structure or is formed by the supporting structure. The first receiving compartment and the second receiving compartment are arranged next to each other. A lifting device is arranged in the first receiving compartment and has a contact portion fastened thereto. The contact portion is connectable in an electrically transmitting manner to a mating contact portion of the vehicle. A charging cable is conductively connected to the contact portion.
