  • Publication number: 20220402699
    Abstract: A rack storage system includes first and second storage racks, a rack aisle therebetween, rack guide tracks arranged in pairs in driving planes above each other, a transport vehicle displaceable in the rack aisle, a transport vehicle lifting device with a vertically extending guide frame and a lift frame mounted thereon so as to be adjustable by a lift drive. A receiving device including lift guide tracks positionable relative to the rack guide tracks and by which the vehicle is transportable between the planes is arranged on the lift frame. Vertical first and second guide profiles are connected to the rack guide tracks. First and second lift guide tracks are mounted on the lift frame to be movable parallel to the rack guide tracks by guide devices. First and second coupling devices respectively couple the first and second lift guide tracks to the first and second guide profiles, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20220041374
    Abstract: A rack storage system has two storage racks, a rack aisle therebetween, a loading good manipulation unit with a buffer device for interim-buffering loading goods, and a loading good lifting device for storing and/or retrieving loading goods. The lifting device includes a vertical mast having a lifting guide, a lifting drive having a drive station and a traction device drive, and a lifting frame mounted on the guide and vertically movable using the lifting drive. The frame is connected to the traction device drive and includes a transport device. Furthermore, the system has an automated storage-and-retrieval unit displaceable in the aisle on guide tracks on the racks, and (a) conveying device(s) adjoined to the manipulation unit. The frame is arranged on a mast side facing away from the aisle. The drive station with the drive motor located inside the aisle is arranged on a mast side facing the aisle.

  • Publication number: 20210395015
    Abstract: A storage arrangement having multiple storage racks, a storage buffer device for interim buffering of a load during storage, a retrieval buffer device for interim buffering of a load during retrieval, and storage and retrieval devices for servicing the storage places of the storage racks is provided. The storage arrangement additionally comprises a storage vertical conveying device having multiple storage transport platforms and a retrieval vertical conveying device having multiple retrieval transport platforms. A storage conveying system is connected to the storage vertical conveying device, and a retrieval conveying system is connected to the retrieval vertical conveying device. A control system ensures that the storage transport platforms and the retrieval transport platforms are moved independently of one another. In addition, an order-picking system with a storage arrangement of the above-mentioned type and a method for operating the storage arrangement are provided.

  • Patent number: 10710802
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for storing hanging goods (2) in an automated storage system (1), comprising a stationary storage rack (5) with storing regions for the hanging goods (2) in storage levels (13) lying one above the other, and at least one goods transport device (7) having a base frame (30), which is displaceable in a first direction in front of the storage rack (5), and at least one storage and removal device (33) having a goods displacement means (42) which is displaceable relative to the base frame in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The hanging goods are moved by the goods displacement means between a goods receiving carrier (12) associated with one storage region and a goods receiving carrier (34) associated with the goods transport device, the goods receiving carrier (12) remaining in the storage regions in the storage rack (5). The invention further relates to an automated storage system for carrying out said method.

  • Patent number: 10540456
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method the assessing the controllability of a vehicle by a driver in a risky or problematic situation. In order to carry out assessment of the controllability of a vehicle early, the following steps are provided: a. modelling the drive train and the movement dynamics of the vehicle, b. modelling situation conditions and environmental conditions, c. selecting a risky or problematic situation, d. selecting a driver capability type, e. modelling the driver's reaction as a function of the selected driver capability type. f. simulating the dynamic vehicle behaviour in the longitudinal and transverse directions of a planned trajectory on the basis of the drive train model and movement dynamics model for the predefined situation and environmental conditions when the selected risky or problematic situation occurs, g.
