  • 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.

  • Patent number: 9707879
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and to a method for transporting heavy duty racks on an uneven ground surface by means of a transport vehicle, comprising the following features: a) a housing (3) having a carrier plate (1) for transporting a heavy duty rack (12), having two separately powered drive wheels (20) hinged to a respective axis of rotation (5) on both sides in the center of the housing (3), having at least one stabilizing wheel (9) in the front and at least one stabilizing wheel (21) in the back; b) a transverse control arm (34), which connects the drive wheels (20), which respectively can be pivoted about the axis of rotation (5) by means of an angle lever (40) such that they are able to carry out vertical movements independently from one another; c) a centrally arranged actuating element (31), which can move two front lift rods (19) and two rear lift rods (16) by means of a lifting rotary lever (27) and of a push rod (24) connected thereto, for raising and lowering the carrier plate (1); d) a sys
