  • Patent number: 11904705
    Abstract: A method for operating a storage and retrieval unit (3) is specified, in which a rail line (1)/power-supply rail (6) is set to a risk-operation voltage when a risk posed by the storage and retrieval unit (3) is detected. In the storage and retrieval unit (3) the level of the voltage applied to the rail line (1)/power-supply rail (6) is measured and a current path between the rail line (1)/power-supply rail (6) and a drive motor (5, 5a . . . 5c) of the storage and retrieval unit (3) disconnected when the voltage measured is below a threshold value associated with a risk situation. Furthermore, a storage and retrieval unit (3) as well as an automated rack storage system for performing the proposed method is specified.

  • Publication number: 20230348200
    Abstract: A conveying device has an accumulation area for accumulating objects, and an operating method operates the conveying device. Using a measuring device, the object rear edge of a first object and the object front edge of a second object which follows the first object are detected. The position of the objects is determined using rotation signals from the drives of conveyor elements. For the second object, a continuous curve of a speed reduction of a target speed is calculated, wherein the calculated stop position of the object front edge of the second object is located at the position of the object rear edge of the stopped first object, or between the object front edge of the stopped first object and the object rear edge of the stopped first object. Subsequently, the second object is moved and stopped using the conveyor elements on the basis of the calculated speed reduction.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a conveying device (1) having an accumulation area (SB) for accumulating objects (O, O1 . . . O2, Oa . . . Oj), and to an operating method for the conveying device (1). By means of a measuring device (L1), the object rear edge (KHO1) of a first object (O1) and the object front edge (KVO2) of a second object (O2) which follows the first object (O1) are detected. The position of the objects (O1, O2) is determined by means of rotation signals from the drives (M) of conveyor elements (2, 2M, 2L). For the second object (O2), a continuous curve of a speed reduction of a target speed (vSoll) is calculated, wherein the calculated stop position (PStop) of the object front edge (KVO2) of the second object (O2) is located at the position of the object rear edge (KHO1) of the stopped first object (O1), or between the object front edge (KVO1) of the stopped first object (O1) and the object rear edge (KHO1) of the stopped first object (O1).
