  • Publication number: 20230382702
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (20) for detecting a load carrier (30) carried on an underride shuttle (10), comprising a field (22) of sensor units (22a-22e) to be arranged on an outer side of the underride shuttle (10), each of which is configured to detect a respective detection position (40a-40e) of the load carrier (30; 30?) and to output a corresponding sensor bit depending on a presence of a predetermined property at the detection position (40a-40e), a memory unit (26) in which data are stored which produce an allocation of load carrier codes to respective load carrier types; and an evaluation unit (24), which is operatively coupled to the sensor units (22a-22e) and the memory unit (26) and is designed to receive the sensor bits output by the sensor units (22a-22e).

  • Patent number: 9797516
    Abstract: The diaphragm bellows includes a plurality of diaphragms (1) with outer edges (3) and inner edges (2), wherein diaphragms (1) that follow one another in the direction of the central longitudinal axis (5) of the diaphragm bellows are welded together alternately in the region of their inner edges (2) and in the region of their outer edges (3). A sliding-guidance device of the diaphragm bellows has at least two ring parts (10, 11). The at least two ring parts (10, 11) each extend through at most 180° in the circumferential direction about the longitudinal axis (5) of the diaphragm bellows and each have a guide portion (12) and a holding portion (13) protruding from the guide portion (12) in the direction of the longitudinal axis (5), the holding portion (13) projecting into an intermediate space (6) located between two adjacent diaphragms (1).
