- the present invention relates to a sorting device according to claim 1 .
- Fig. 1 is a general diagram of an automatic system
- Fig. 2 is an automatic system, front view, perspective view,
- FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a mobile transport device
- 4 shows a general view of a mobile transport device
- 5 shows a mobile transport device with a stack of shells on board
- Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of an apparatus for lifting
- Fig. 7 a device for lifting stacks of trays, general view
- Fig. 8 shows a device for lifting stacks of trays with
- FIG. 12 shows a combination of the first and second embodiment, ie with at least one further gripper and at least one movable depositing area/depositing device.
- the automatic box storage system and/or the organization system preferably comprises a control module 50 and/or a storage system 110 and/or a box/tray sorting area 120.
- Control module 50 has a central control processor 51 and/or an order processing unit 52 and/or an interface 53 and/or a wireless interface 54, preferably to device 120 and/or 140.
- Several mobile transport devices 130 can be controlled by a central processor 50 via a wireless interface 54 and/or are provided, both empty and full boxes/trays as well as stacked boxes/trays 101 (FIG. 5) both within the storage system 110 and ( and/or) in the to transport animal area of the shells 120 and between these areas.
- the box/tray sorting area 120 there are at least one, preferably at least two, devices for lifting 140/142 stacks of boxes/trays 130.
- the device 140/142 can be designed to lift boxes/trays from a transport device, preferably in the sorting area. All boxes/trays as well as a subset of boxes/trays can be lifted or picked up by the transport device.
- the box/tray sortation area 120 may contain multiple buffer locations to accommodate multiple TMUs 130 or their boxes in the event that they arrive early and await further processing.
- the storage area of stacked trays 110 can be multi-level with several separate stacks 110 on top of one another.
- the transport device 130 shown in Fig. 3 - 5 preferably comprises a lifting table 131, which is designed for receiving and transporting trays/boxes 101 or stacks of trays/boxes thereof, and two groups of drive wheels 132 and 133, which divide the device into two to move in mutually perpendicular horizontal directions.
- the structural design of the TMU 130 or the storage facility 110 is produced in such a way that an empty device 130 with its lifting table 131 without trays/boxes located/transported on it can be moved freely in the storage area 110 underneath the stacks. This means that the TMU can also be delivered to stacks that are located in areas of the storage area that are further back. realm without having to drive around the storage area itself.
- the mobile transport device 130 which is preferably part of the storage and sorting system according to the invention, can be controlled in any known manner.
- an embedded (industrial) controller 134 with a wireless interface 135 for communication with the central processor 51 of the automatic system can be used for the controller.
- the controller 134 controls the drivers 136 of the drives of the wheels 132 and 133 for movement, preferably along rails, in preferably two directions in one plane and/or the driver 137 of the vertical position of the wheels 132, 133, above which the wheels are raised can be and thereby the underside of the lifting table can touch the ground and / or the state of the lifting table 131 (height adjustability).
- the rails can be present in the storage area 110 and/or in the sorting area, ie also between the areas, connecting them and can be provided as a basis for the movement of the transport devices 130 .
- a device 140 for lifting single or stacks of boxes/trays is shown with a (base) body 141 and at least two grippers 142 moving in vertical direction relative to the body 141 and gripping / Allow any number of boxes/trays 101 to be picked up and lifted from or onto a TMU 130 within the operating range of the grippers 142.
- the TMU for picking up/gripping the boxes/trays by a gripper is below the gripper.
- the gripper may be provided with a frame dimensioned to fit over a stack of boxes.
- the grippers can be equipped with retaining elements/retaining lugs/retaining brackets or other devices that can be delivered to the shells/boxes, which are designed boxes/shells 101 that are delivered to the gripper (pushed over, see e.g. FIG. 8) on the gripper 142 to hold.
- the device for lifting stacks of trays 140 can also be controlled in any known manner.
- an embedded industrial controller 143 having an interface 144 for communication with the central processor 51 of the automated system 100 can be used.
- the controller 143 controls the drivers 145 and 146 of the respective gripper drives 142 for picking up and lifting the (stack of) tray(s)/box(es) 101 in the vertical direction.
- FIG. 8 shows the interaction of the device 140 for lifting stacks of trays with trays/boxes 101 standing on the mobile transport device 130.
- the mobile transport device 130 first approaches the first (right) gripper 142 of the device 140, the first gripper 142 being selected in the present example, the top four boxes/trays 101 of the stack standing on the TMU 130 , to raise.
- the TMU 130 moves in a first horizontal direction under the second (left) gripper 142 of the device 140. Then the second gripper 142 lifts the (remaining) tray/box 101 from the TMU 130.
- the TMU then moves under the first gripper 142 of the device 140, as a result of which the first lifted stack of trays/boxes 101 is placed on the TMU 130. Thereafter, the TMU 130 moves again under the second (appropriately raised) gripper 142 of the device 140, which places the previously bottom tray/box 101 of the stack now on top of the stack.
- the "systems" described and claimed can be devices and devices.
- a movable part 152 of the storage area/storage device 150 can be delivered to the gripper 142 so that the gripper can transfer picked up boxes to the storage area/storage device (e.g. place them on it - see FIG. 11b).
- the storage device can have a stationary base 151 on and/or in relation to which the movable part 152 of the storage device is displaceably mounted.
- the movable storage area/storage device can then be moved away from the gripper (below the gripper) (Fig. 11c -> 11d), whereby a loading area (below) of the gripper, i.e. an area, is released (Fig. 11d), in which a transport device 130 can be provided so that the gripper can take over or hand over its boxes,
- the gripper for example, first to take over one or more boxes of a transport device (Fig. 10b -> 11c), then to transfer them to the storage area/storage device (Fig. 11a -> 11b -> 11c) and thus for the inclusion of further boxes is released. If there is an empty transport device next to/near the movable storage area/storage device and/or in the loading area of the gripper, the mobile storage area/storage device can transfer the intermediately stored boxes (subset) to the transport device again. Alternatively, the storage area/storage device can transfer the boxes back to the gripper 142 at a given time, which makes it possible to rearrange the boxes of one or more transport devices overall.
- resorting can in particular mean being able to change the order of boxes in an existing stack of boxes by means of the device according to the invention.
- a stack of boxes is preferably a set of at least two, preferably three, four, five or more boxes placed one on top of the other.
- a subset of boxes in a stack may be at least one box fewer than is present in that stack.
- the transport device can then be removed with the subset of boxes for further processing, or the additional boxes, which are picked up by the gripper, can be loaded onto the subset.
- This allows boxes/a stack to be sorted on a transport device by means of either at least two grippers or by at least one gripper in combination with the mobile storage area/storage device described above.
- the present invention relates to a corresponding device and a corresponding method.
- boxes can be exchanged as in the embodiment of FIGS. 9-11, but also boxes can be exchanged between different transport devices 130 or boxes can be transferred from one transport device to a second one.
- a possible re-sorting using the embodiment according to FIG. 11 could take place, for example, as follows:
- a first transport device 130 is moved into an area below a first of the two grippers 142 shown.
- This first gripper 142 accepts any number of boxes from the transport device 130.
- the first gripper 142 then transfers the boxes or a subset of boxes to the movable part 152 of the storage area/storage device, which can be delivered to this first gripper for this purpose.
