Conveyor chain for goods transfer device of automatic goods storage system

Abstract

The invention relates to a conveyor chain (601) for a goods transfer device of an automatic goods warehouse, which conveyor chain is suitable in particular for receiving individual goods from a handling device and transferring said goods to at least one transfer channel (701) of the goods transfer device, said transfer channel having a suitable channel bottom (703). Said conveyor chain comprises a traction means device (603) having at least one drivable, circulating traction means; a plurality of transport compartments, each having a transport bottom for accommodating an individual good, wherein the transport compartments are attached to the traction means and are supported thereon in such a way that the transport compartments can be tipped; and a slotted guide for the transport compartments, which slotted guide is arranged on the traction means device (603), wherein each transport compartment can be tipped by means of the slotted guide from a goods-holding position into a goods-transferring position, in which the inclination of the transport bottom is adapted to the inclination of the channel bottom (703) of the at least one transfer channel (701) of the goods transfer device, and wherein, in a goods transfer segment of the traction means device (603), a good can be transferred from a transport compartment that is in the goods-transferring position into the at least one transfer channel (701).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a conveyor chain for a goods transfer device of an automatic goods storage system, a goods transfer device of an automatic goods storage system and an automatic goods storage system. Background technique [0002] Known storage surfaces, for example channel-type storage surfaces comprising storage channels, can be filled with the aid of a manipulator. During this process, the manipulator will approach the feed end of the storage surface and transfer the object to the storage location. Such storage systems are often used for goods such as medicines in pharmacies. Racks with inclined compartments are particularly useful for so-called fast-moving consumer goods, wherein individual goods are accommodated in aisles separated by lateral dividers while being arranged on storage surfaces inclined with respect to the horizontal. When lower items are removed, the other items will slide down into place. Typically, each lane houses simil...

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when goods supplied in bulk in no particular order are to be transferred to manipulators through known transfer lanes, after aligning and separating the goods, it is difficult to sort the goods into the transfer lanes, especially since the transfer lanes are Arrangement tilted in two spatial directions
