Definitions
- the invention relates to a delivery device for shelf channels of shelf storage systems according to the preamble of claim 1 and a delivery device for shelf storage systems according to the preamble of claim 15.
- Conveyor devices for shelf channels of shelf storage systems of the type in question here usually have two rotating conveying means arranged in parallel, by means of which the goods can be stored in and removed from the individual shelf channels.
- One half of the conveying means, which receives the goods to be stored, is usually designed as a roller or idler roller chain, while the other half is designed as a belt.
- This design lowers costs and saves weight.
- this design means that one deflection must be designed for the chain and the other for the belt. In practice, this means that the chain's displacement is strictly limited to a dimension that is smaller than the distance between the centers of the front and rear deflection, while the total length of the respective shelf channel is greater than this distance.
- the individual chain links are provided with pointed elevations, which grip the wood of the pallet.
- the individual chain links twist against one another during deflection. This twisting leads to a relative displacement of the elevations from one chain link to the other at the deflection point. Since the range is both on The chain link, which rotates away during the deflection, and also lies on the chain link located immediately behind it, is in the horizontal position, and splinters of wood are torn out of the pallet during the deflection process. It goes without saying that this is undesirable.
- This object can alternatively be achieved by the features listed in the characterizing part of claim 1 or 15.
- the object is achieved particularly advantageously if the features listed in the characterizing part of claims 1 and 15 are combined with one another.
- the rear deflection is designed as a rotatable roller or roller, recesses or slots being inserted into the rotatable roller or roller, into which the chain links engage in a form-fitting manner during deflection and the two rear deflections of a pair of conveying means are non-positively connected to one another are coupled. It is thereby achieved that the two conveying means of the respective conveyor are moved synchronously, even if a feed force is only exerted on the one conveying means.
- the respective deflecting means arranged in the region of the removal side of the shelf channel is designed to be stationary and non-rotatable, the end face of the deflecting means being essentially round, and the deflecting means being provided with a recess on the upper side, which is intended to interact with the rollers or idler rollers of the chain in such a way that the individual chain link is lowered horizontally at the beginning of the deflection, the task set out at the outset is solved particularly advantageously, since this prevents chips from being torn out.
- Figure 1 is a schematically illustrated conveyor of a shelf channel in longitudinal section.
- Fig. La is an enlarged view of the front deflection
- Fig. Lb is an enlarged view of the rear deflection formed as a roller
- FIG. 1c shows a longitudinal section through the roller according to FIG. 1b;
- FIG. 1d shows a cross section through the roller of FIG. 1b
- FIG. 2 the conveying means according to FIG. 1 in a shifted position
- Fig. 3 shows the front end of the funding in a first phase. immediately before the turning process
- Figure 4 shows the front end of the conveyor in a second phase during the deflection process.
- FIG. 5 shows the front end of the conveying means in a third phase during the deflection process
- Fig. 6 shows the front end of the " conveyor in a fourth phase during the deflection process
- Fig. 7 shows the front end of the conveyor in a fifth phase during the deflection process.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a schematically represented conveying means 2 of a conveying device 1, which is used in a shelf channel of a shelf storage system. Larger sections of FIG. 1 can also be seen from FIGS. 1a to 1c, while the roller in FIG. 1d can be seen in a further enlarged cross-section.
- each shelf channel is provided with a conveyor device 1, which essentially consists of two rotating conveyor means 2 arranged in parallel.
- a supporting roller chain 3 is provided as the actual supporting element of this conveying means 2. So that costs and weight can be optimized, the conveying means 2 is only approximately half of a chain 3.
- the two end links 31, 32 of this chain 3 are connected to one another by a band 4.
- a front deflection 5 facing the removal side of the shelf channel and a rear deflection 6 facing away from the removal side of the shelf channel are provided for deflecting the conveying means 2.
- the front redirection consists of a fixed and rotatably arranged shaped profile element 5, while the rear deflection is formed by a rotatable roller 6.
- the conveyor 3 is divided into an upper and a lower run 7, 8.
- a rail 10 is provided as a track for the upper run 7 of the chain 3.
- the lower run 8 of the chain 3 is supported on the underside of the rail 10 by means not shown.
- the individual chain links of the idler chain 3 are provided on the upper side with tapered elevations 14. These elevations 14 ensure a secure, non-positive connection between the chain 3 and the goods lying thereon, the goods being normally accommodated on pallets in which the elevations 14 can cling to one another.
- the chain 3 is drawn in its front end position, in which no goods are yet stored in the corresponding shelf channel.
- the shaped profile element 5 provided as a front chain deflection is shown enlarged in FIG.
- a recess 26 is provided on the top of this shaped profile element 5, while the end face 28 is essentially round.
- a second ramp 29 is provided as a transition between the top of the shaped profile element 5 and the front 28 thereof. It is important that the horizontal distance a between the respective section of the ramp 27 and the section of the ramp 29 of the deflection means 5 corresponding to the height corresponds at least approximately to the center distance of two adjacent rollers or support rollers 17, 18 (FIG. 1 a).
- the rotatable roller 6 has two parallel, slot-shaped recesses 12, in which the side cheeks 23 of the individual chain links can engage. These slots 12 are embedded in the roller 6 in such a way that the slot base sections 9 form an isosceles triangle (FIG. 1d), the corners of which are somewhat trimmed.
- the leg length b of a slot base section 9 up to the theoretical corners of the triangle corresponds approximately to half the center distance between two adjacent support rollers 17, 18.
- a chain link 32b is also schematically indicated in FIG. whose side walls 23 engage in the slots 12 of the roller 6 during deflection.
- the rear deflection could also be designed, for example, as a roller which has a plurality of circumferential recesses into which the rollers or idler rollers of the chain 3 engage in a form-fitting manner during deflection.
- each roller 6 is provided with a rectangular opening 9 into which a correspondingly rectangular tube engages in a form-fitting manner.
- the square tube is preferably provided with a slot in which a projection arranged on the respective roller 6 is intended to engage.
- the chain 3 engages around the roller 6.
- the pair of conveyor chains of the conveying device 1 is forcibly coupled. In this way it can be ensured that at the beginning of the storage of goods, when the respective rack channel is still empty, the two conveying means are moved synchronously, even if a displacement force is only exerted on one of these two conveying means.
- the two funds are coupled to each other, since the stored goods or the goods are simultaneously on both chains of a chain pair, which inevitably results in a synchronization of the two funds.
- roller 6 Since the roller 6 is wider than the belt 4, the latter need not be guided laterally when deflected, but can move laterally along the roller axis. In this way, the belt 4 can be gently deflected. So that tension during the transition from the chain 3 to the belt 4 can be avoided when deflecting, the belt 4 is fastened in the last chain link 31, 32 and is led out of the last chain link 31, 32 in the region of the height of the support surface of the support rollers 17, 19.
- the two end chain links 31, 32 are each provided with a tensioning and holding mechanism 20, 20a.
- an eccentric element 21 is provided in the chain link 31 instead of the last support roller, which is rotatably supported on an axis 22.
- the band 4 is clamped between the eccentric element 21 and the chain link 31.
- the eccentric element 21 can be rotated in a simple manner and the band 4 can thus be clamped or released.
- the tensioning of the Volume 4 done manually.
- the first is preferably provided on the upper side with a rough surface, for example in the form of transverse grooves.
- screwing means can also be provided, but these are not shown in more detail.
- the axis of rotation 22 or the screw means of the eccentric element 21 can at the same time be formed as an end stop for the chain 3 by projecting beyond the chain link 31 on both outer sides.
- a corresponding counterpart can be provided on the shelf channel, on which the regions of the axis 22 or the screwing means projecting beyond the chain link 31 can rest. In this way, the displacement of the chain 3 can be limited to a certain extent.
- the stops are not shown in favor of a clear presentation.
- FIG. 2 shows the conveying element in a position shifted with respect to FIG. 1.
- goods G are shown schematically, which are supported on the chain 3 and are stored in the respective shelf channel.
- the goods G are not placed directly on the chain 3, but are each placed on a pallet, which in turn rests on the chain 3.
- pallets since such pallets have long been known, they have not been shown.
- Goods G are stored from the left-hand side by placing them on the chain 3 by means of an industrial truck, for example a forklift, and pushing them into the rack channel by the latter. If, as indicated in the present example, goods G are stored, the latter creates a non-positive connection between the two funds. Therefore, it does not matter that, as indicated here, the belt 4 is deflected around the roller 6 and that there is no longer a non-positive or positive connection between the conveying means 2 and the rollers 6.
- the foremost chain link 33 begins to rotate downward about the axis of its rear roller 17. Since the foremost chain link 33 is lowered relative to the chain links 34, 35 located behind it, it is no longer in connection with the bottom board B of the pallet, as a result of which no chips are torn from the bottom board B when twisted.
- Fig. 7 shows the state in which the rear roller 17 is in turn at the level of the running surface of the rail 10. From this illustration it is also clearly evident that the rear elevation can no longer come into contact with the bottom board B of the pallet.
- the proposed deflection means ensures gentle and safe operation of the conveyor device.
- the rear, rotatable deflection can deflect both the chain and the belt.
- the coupling of the two funds at the beginning of the storage of goods ensures that they are moved synchronously.
- the special design of the front deflecting means ensures that the pallets are protected during storage and retrieval by no longer tearing chips out.
- the tensioning of the respective conveying means can be adapted to the requirements in the simplest way by the proposed arrangement and design of the tensioning and holding mechanism.
