High-rise storage rack.

The invention relates to a high shelf with two, one above the other arranged compartments containing rack columns, of which minde least a ver with a loading and removal opening is seen and between which a unit with them a bil dender vertical conveyor is arranged a horizontal comprising conveyor means by which each one a Wall of height h-having in the region of its base provided with at least one recess in the tray Area the loading or removal opening in a by Vertical conveyor is operated compartment convertible or from a tray removed and to return to the field of Feeding or discharging port by the vertical conveyor of its platform in the area of ​​the loading is or removal opening conveyed.

In a high-bay known from U.S. Patent No. 5,199,840 of the above type, the used as Lagergutbehälter Shelves a bottom and a upwardly from it stretching, the loading restricting wall on which a Slipping of the cargo from the loading area prevented. On the shelves can be different depending on requirements abstel products either directly or in containers len in which the feed of the trays or the removal of Objects either in the area of ​​Feeding or Ent or remote receiving opening at one of the high-bay Point occurs, to which the trays together with the load WUR conveyed by a suitable conveyor system the. The known solution then is not satisfactory, ne example when on a shelf several items are parked next to one another, of which shelf at a distant Only one spot is needed, or if a single in the tray parked container or object in one of the High bay downstream conveyor or distribution without intended for carriage tray.

In a high-bay known from DE-OS 26 51 365 other Design can be applied to each of the same diameter facing sleeves several telescopic tubes firmly connected, git terförmig trained platforms in succession in a Ver loading level and then überfüh in a storage position reindeer, while in the storage position a platform stack form, which protrude through openings columns to their upper ends in the preferred drive Verladeebene roll wear, by means of which on the platforms abgestell te items may be removed from the platforms.

From U.S. Patent 3,921,840 it is finally known, a to one side open container, the bottom of which has slots such lower on roller conveyors that the rollers by the Slots protrude and present in the container objects supported so as to be rolled out from the container can.

The invention is based on the object at a high-bay the first type mentioned in the Feeding or Removal opening an automatic loading and unloading of Tabla ren allow. This problem is because the present invention by solved in that through the recess in the area of ​​the Be schickungs- or removal opening parts of an auxiliary conveyor with parked on the trays objects engaged can be brought to these individually or together by a lift amount H, the h larger than the height of the wall , and around the respective object or the respective Items followed by one or outsource.

The high-bay invention offers inter alia the advantage that the number of required trays solely by the Capacity of the high shelf dependent and that the high-bay Conveying and distribution systems can be installed downstream, the dimensions of the regular over the dimen gen the shelves of smaller dimensions at the shelves overlapping objects can be tuned to this Thus, the cost of supplying or distribution systems to small hold.

was a prerequisite for the creation of the claimed solution the deviation from one to the realization of the invention generally conventional design principle, according to which the space below the loading and removal opening with compartments was completed to accommodate shelves.

Further details and features of the invention result from the dependent claims, a preferred embodiment of the accompanying drawings and the Description below. Show it:

<b>Fig.</b> 1 is a perspective view of a high shelf and egg nes coupled thereto and conveying system

<b>Fig.</b> 2-5 schematically two possibilities of interaction between a shelf and the auxiliary conveyor of high shelf according to <b>Fig.</b> 1.

In <b>Fig.</b> 1 <b>1</b> the housing of the high shelf with shelf columns <b>2</b> and <b>3</b>Between which the guide rail <b>4</b> up and abbe movably one driven by a chain vertical conveyor <b>6</b> is arranged. The vertical conveyor<b>6</b> is known, in the drawing manner not shown with a horizontal conveyor means provided by the shelves <b>7</b> either its platform in the compartments of the rack columns or of the sen on the platform are convertible. The horizontal conveyor device is to this end with two spaced voneinan the chains arranged equipped, where - as in the DE 42 33 690 A1 - catches are secured, by means which floats in the trays <b>7</b> initiated can be.

The individual compartments of the rack columns <b>2</b> and <b>3</b> are each Weil paired support rails <b>8th</b> formed that the shelves <b>7</b> supported on opposite sides.

soils <b>9</b> the shelves <b>7</b> are not closed, but have in the illustrated embodiment by a two crosspiece <b>10</b> separate recesses <b>11</b> and <b>12</b> on.

During the shelf column <b>2</b> substantially from the bottom of housing <b>1</b> extends up to the upper end thereof is the re galsäule <b>3</b> formed shortened to accommodate a Be schickungs- or removal opening <b>13</b> create that with egg nem lift table <b>14</b> is equipped, whose means of spindles <b>15</b> moved up and down plate <b>16</b> the recesses <b>11</b> and <b>12</b> comprises corresponding recesses, of which the <b>Fig.</b> 2 and 3, with the recess <b>11</b> aligned recess <b>17</b> is shown.

By lowering the plate <b>16</b> by an amount H which is greater than the height h of from the bottom <b>9</b> the tray <b>7</b> after Top ersteckenden wall <b>18</b>, Can be driven by motors <b>19</b> driven rollers <b>20</b> two juxtaposed Roller conveyors an auxiliary conveyor <b>21</b> a on the tray <b>7</b> parked article <b>22</b> engage, such that the ser by the auxiliary conveyor <b>21</b> nachge on a the high-bay switched conveyor system <b>23</b> is transferable, which also driven rollers <b>24</b> substantially in one plane with the to roll <b>20</b> of the auxiliary conveyor are. Of course, in the same manner by reversing the direction of rotation the roles <b>24</b> and <b>20</b> Invited an object in the high-bay be siege.

Instead of as in the case of the embodiment according to <b>Fig.</b> 1 to 3 the plate <b>16</b> the lifting table <b>14</b> up and down, , as shown in the <b>Fig.</b> 4 and 5, the loading schickungs- or removal opening <b>13</b> also with a stationä ren plate <b>16</b> and an upwardly and downwardly movable auxiliary conveyor <b>21</b> be equipped.
