  • Patent number: 12037138
    Abstract: A driverless transport vehicle, a conveying system, and a method for transporting piece goods. The driverless transport vehicle overcomes a climbing section equipped with a primary side of an energy transmission device. The driverless transport vehicle, which can be moved individually and autonomously on a conveying plane, has a secondary side for energy pick-up in order, assisted by the energy pick-up, to overcome a height difference of the climbing section and/or a transition between the conveying plane and the climbing section. The formation of a connection between the primary side and the secondary side and the overcoming of the climbing section and of the transition between the conveying plane and the climbing section take place at a throughput speed without a slowing-down.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10843712
    Abstract: A transport device for transporting goods includes at least one track and at least one transport vehicle which is configured to travel on the track and to transport the goods. The transport vehicle has at least one vehicle-side or on-board drive for moving the transport vehicle relative to the track. In order to enhance the performance of the transport device in a simple and cost-effective manner, the track has at least one track-side or in-track drive for moving the transport vehicle relative to the track at least in sections.
