Problems solved by technology
Furthermore, the interception system used to connect the power storage source to the charging station is rather complex and thus more service intensive and prone to failure
Furthermore, prior art interception systems limit the potential lateral extent of the connected power storage source due to limited support of the power storage source in the lateral direction

Embodiment Construction
[0131] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be discussed in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood, however, that the drawings are not intended to limit the invention to the subject matter depicted in the drawings.
[0132] The frame 100 of the automated storage and retrieval system 1 is constructed according to the prior art frame 100 described above in connection with FIGS. Basically, the frame 100 comprises a rail system 108 of parallel tracks 110 , 111 in the X and Y directions arranged on top of the storage columns 105 / grid columns 112 . Horizontal areas (ie, areas along the X and Y directions) of the grid columns 112 may be defined by the distances between adjacent rails 110 and 111 , respectively (see FIGS. 4 to 6 ).
[0133] In FIG. 1, grid 104 is shown as having a height of 8 cells. However, it should be understood that the grid 104 may in principle have any size. In particular, it should be appreciated t...

The invention relates to an automated storage and retrieval system (1) comprising: at least one container handling vehicle (3-5); a horizontal rail system (108) for operating the container handling vehicle; and a charging station for recharging a replaceable power source (28) of the container handling vehicle, where: the container handling vehicle (3-5) comprises: a first set of wheels (32a) for moving the container handling vehicle on the rail system in a first direction; a second set of wheels (32b) for moving the container handling vehicle on the rail system in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and a power supply compartment (27a) within the container handling vehicle for accommodating a replaceable power supply (28) when the container handling vehicle is in use; the present invention relates to a charging station (90) for a replaceable power source (28) and disposed on or at a horizontal track system, the charging station (90) comprising one or more charging racks (91), each charging rack (91) providing a column of charging positions (92) for recharging the replaceable power source (28) and each charging position (92) being configured to house the replaceable power source (28) during a recharging process, the charging station (90) further comprising an automated loader (40; 40 '), comprising a power supply support (43), the automated loader (40; 40 ') is arranged to move vertically and horizontally in said first and second directions for use in charging by removing and inserting a first replaceable power supply (28) from and into a charging position (92) of a charging rack (91) and by means of an automated loader (40; 40') extending into said charging rack (91) and a power supply compartment (27a); 40 ') extracts the second replaceable power supply (28) from the power supply compartment (27a) of the container handling vehicle (3) and inserts the second replaceable power supply (28) into the power supply compartment of the container handling vehicle, exchanging and transporting 20 the replaceable power supply (28) between the charging rack (91) and the power supply compartment (27a) of the container handling vehicle. Further described are automated loaders for use in the system and methods for transferring power from a charging location in a charging rack and a power bay in a container handling vehicle and vice versa.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an automated storage and retrieval system for storing and retrieving containers handled by a container handling vehicle, the automated storage and retrieval system having an automated loader for changing the power supply in the container handling vehicle. The invention also relates to a method of removing and inserting a power supply from and into a power bay in a container handling vehicle and a charging location in a charging stand, respectively. Background technique [0002] Figure 1 discloses a typical prior art automated storage and retrieval system 1 having a frame structure 100, and Figures 2 and 3 disclose two different prior art container handling vehicles adapted to operate on such a system 1 201, 301. [0003] The frame structure 100 includes a plurality of upright members 102 and a plurality of horizontal members 103 supported by the upright members 102 . The members 102, 103 may generally be made of metal...
