  • Patent number: 10168713
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transport vehicle and a method for a problem-free transport of heavy-duty shelves in workshops with radio shadowing using a partly autonomous drive mode, having the following features: a) a vehicle housing with a support plate for receiving and transporting a heavy-duty shelf, comprising two drive wheels which are driven separately on both sides in the center of the vehicle housing on a respective separately mounted rotational axle, b) a transverse link which connects the drive wheels, each drive wheel being pivotal about the rotational axle via an angle lever, such that the drive wheels can carry out vertical movements independently of each other, c) a centrally arranged actuating element which can move two front lift rods and two rear lift rods via a lift rotary lever and via a push rod which is connected to the lift rotary lever in order to lift or lower the support plate, d) a system for supplying energy to the transport vehicle, and e) at least one 3D scanner, at least one ligh

  • Patent number: 9823662
    Abstract: The invention concerns a transport vehicle and a method for the trouble-free transport of load shelves in workshops with partially autonomous operation, having the following features: (a) a vehicle body with a carrier plate for receiving and transporting a load shelf with cargo, with two separately driven drive wheels, at least one support wheel being provided at the front and at the rear of the vehicle body in each case; (b) a transverse link which connects the drive wheels which are each pivotable via an angled lever about the rotational axis, such that the drive wheels can carry out vertical movements independently of each other; (c) a centrally disposed adjusting element which, via a lifting-turning lever and a thrust rod connected thereto, can move two front lifting rods and two rear lifting rods in order to raise or lower the carrier plate; (d) a system for supplying energy to the vehicle body; and (e) at least one 3D scanner and at least one light field sensor in the front region of the vehicle body.

  • Publication number: 20090254866
    Abstract: A method displays a multitude of objects on a display, the display offering an electronic pointer device. A maximum number of objects to be displayed in an adaptable orientation at a time is determined. The multitude of objects are automatically grouped into at least one group containing at most the maximum number of said objects. The groups are listed in a first list. The objects grouped into the group are automatically displayed in a second list upon the electronic pointer device pointing to the group. Furthermore, a display used for the described method is described, as well as a computer system, a maintenance management system and a mobile phone using the described method and display.
