Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a storage facility for prefabricated wall elements, in particular for prefabricated wall elements made of wood, in particular for prefabricated houses. Background Art
[0002] The demand for prefabricated housing is increasing, and so is the number of prefabricated wall elements that need to be made to order. Due to the parallel processing of different building projects or orders, there are large differences in the length, width, height, configuration and weight of the prefabricated wall elements produced. This variation is expected to increase further in the future.
[0003] Storage areas and storage facilities for such prefabricated wall elements are known; the produced prefabricated wall elements can be stored in the storage area. For example, drying times can be observed in the storage area. In addition, temporary storage can take place until transport to the construction site or until further production steps. The prefabricated wall elements are usually stored in the order in which they were produced. Summary of the invention
[0004] The object of the present invention is to create a storage facility for prefabricated wall elements which can be adapted to the production parameters.
[0005] This object is achieved by the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments and advantages of the invention are apparent from the other claims, the description and the drawings.
[0006] A storage facility for prefabricated wall elements is proposed, the storage facility having a modular support structure, a plurality of shelves and a conveying system, wherein the shelves are arranged with their long sides parallel to each other and each shelf accommodates at least one prefabricated wall element. The conveying system has at least one transport element, which receives at least one prefabricated wall element, is arranged in a movable manner and at least sets up a conveying path between the shelves of the layer. The conveying system comprises a shelf conveying device and a transport element conveying device, the shelf conveying device transports the transport elements to and from the predetermined shelves, respectively, and the transport element conveying device drives at least one transport element. The modular support structure accommodates at least a plurality of shelves and the conveying system, wherein the modular support structure absorbs the forces transmitted by the shelves and the conveying system.
[0007] Prefabricated wall elements can be understood as wall elements made of wood, which can be additionally scraped, painted or bricked. In addition, other functional or decorative elements can be arranged on the prefabricated wall elements, for example, by bonding and / or screwing and / or otherwise fastened or introduced into the prefabricated wall elements. In alternative designs, the prefabricated wall elements can be made of gypsum fiberboard and gypsum board or can be made using 3D printing technology. Combinations of different manufacturing methods and different materials are also possible. One or more production lines can be constructed in a correspondingly diverse manner.
[0008] In the following, manufacturing parameters may be understood as meaning, for example: the production quantity, and / or the curing time or drying time of the adhesive and / or mortar, and / or the number of intermediate steps requiring temporary storage, and / or the dimensions of the prefabricated wall elements, and / or the climatic conditions for the curing or drying of the adhesive and / or mortar, and / or other storage conditions which prevent or at least make it more difficult for the stored prefabricated wall elements to develop cracks.
[0009] The modular construction makes it possible to increase or decrease the storage capacity in an advantageous manner in a simple manner as required. If the storage capacity is increased, the support structure can be extended longitudinally and / or laterally and / or vertically. The storage capacity can thus be easily adapted to the production capacity, for example. The support structure advantageously provides the necessary stability for the storage facility and distributes the forces. A possible modular design of the support structure can be a steel frame with a plurality of frame elements.
[0010] By placing different projects or orders and different prefabricated wall elements in a combined manner on one or more production lines, it is advantageously possible to utilize one or more production lines as optimally as possible via the storage facility. By temporarily storing in the storage facility, it is possible to complete the project or order later while the already completed prefabricated wall elements are stored in the storage facility. In this way, the optimal production sequence of the prefabricated wall elements can be converted into an optimal transportation sequence to the construction site.
[0011] The at least one transport element can transport the prefabricated wall elements between the storage facility entrance and a designated shelf grid. In addition, the at least one transport element can transport the prefabricated wall elements between the shelf grid and the storage facility exit. The storage facility entrance and exit can represent the same area of the storage facility or different areas of the storage facility. In addition, the at least one transport element can transport the prefabricated wall elements between the shelves. Advantageously, this transport can be fully automatic or semi-automatic, so that the manpower input can be reduced. In addition, the transport time can be reduced by fully automatic or semi-automatic transport. In addition, the transport path of the transport element and the area for the shelf grid can be predefined, so that all prefabricated wall elements are accessible and each prefabricated wall element can be easily removed from the corresponding shelf grid and thus removed from the storage facility when required, or called up using a storage facility management system. At least one transport element can be assigned to each transport path.
[0012] The shelves can advantageously be arranged in a predefined grid size (raster matrix β).
[0013] The shelf grid can be designed as a steel frame with a plurality of frame elements. The at least one prefabricated wall element can stand vertically in the corresponding shelf grid. The shelf grid can have an anti-tilting device for the prefabricated wall elements arranged in the shelf grid.
[0014] If a plurality of prefabricated wall elements are arranged in racks, the prefabricated wall elements in the storage facility can advantageously be grouped. For example, different orders or projects can be assigned to each rack. Alternatively, prefabricated wall elements having specific manufacturing prerequisites can be assigned to each rack, such as similar drying conditions and / or similar environmental parameters, such as air humidity and temperature and / or similar drying times and / or similar adhesive curing times. Furthermore, prefabricated wall elements of similar size can be assigned to each rack.
[0015] Furthermore, the shelves can be designed so that the prefabricated wall elements can be removed individually, so that a transport-optimized sequence can be achieved when the prefabricated wall elements are individually taken out of or put into storage. For example, the prefabricated wall elements can be arranged parallel to the long sides of the corresponding shelf, so that at least one front end of the corresponding shelf can touch the front end of the corresponding prefabricated wall element.
[0016] By means of a storage facility with shelves for accommodating one or more prefabricated wall elements, it is advantageously possible to arrange the stored prefabricated wall elements in a rational manner according to orders and / or production requirements and / or according to size, which can make storage and loading and / or picking easier. In addition, the prefabricated wall elements can be stored in nearly ideal conditions, so that possible damage during storage can be reduced.
[0017] For example, prefabricated wall elements can be evenly stressed during storage or transport in a storage facility to minimize cracking. Further storage area can advantageously be supplemented in a modular manner by additional shelves in horizontal and vertical directions. This enables the storage space to be adapted to the production capacity.
[0018] In the following, a conveying system is understood to mean an arrangement and connection of components that enable at least the transport of prefabricated wall elements within a storage facility. In another embodiment, at least one transport element can also be used outside the storage facility, for example to transport prefabricated wall elements from a production line to a storage facility.
[0019] A grid conveyor is to be understood as a component or part which moves selected prefabricated wall elements into or out of a grid. Each grid can comprise one or more grid conveyors. Alternatively, the grid conveyors can also be arranged on a transport element.
[0020] Alternatively, the grid conveyor device can be mounted movably between the end regions of the grid or can be placed movably between a plurality of grids.
[0021] A transport element conveying device is understood to be a component or an assembly which moves at least one transport element.
[0022] Therefore, the main advantage of the present invention is the flexible construction on the one hand, and the flexible storage and retrieval of prefabricated wall elements and the conveying system adapted to the storage facility. In addition, the production sequence of the prefabricated wall elements can be advantageously decoupled from the transport sequence of the prefabricated wall elements to one or more construction sites.
[0023] According to an advantageous embodiment, the modular support structure can accommodate shelves in at least two levels. At least one lifting device can set up a transport path between the at least two levels. If the building in which the storage facility is located has a corresponding height, more prefabricated wall elements can be stored advantageously with the same floor space. The prefabricated wall elements can be easily transported between the individual levels by means of the lifting device. Fully automatic or semi-automatic transport is also possible here. When transporting between the individual levels, the transport element can transport the corresponding one or more prefabricated wall elements to the lifting device.
[0024] The lifting device may transport the transport element together with one or more corresponding prefabricated wall elements. Alternatively, one or more corresponding prefabricated wall elements may be transported by the lifting device without the transport element. When transporting without the transport element, one or more corresponding prefabricated wall elements may be loaded into another transport element of the corresponding target layer in order to be transported to the corresponding destination in the layer. If there are multiple layers, each layer may be assigned at least one transport element. Alternatively or additionally, at least one transport element may transport the prefabricated wall elements on multiple layers.
[0025] According to an advantageous embodiment, the at least one shelf grid conveyor device and / or the at least one transport element conveyor device can include a chain conveyor device and / or a suspended conveyor device.
[0026] The chain conveyor can move the prefabricated wall elements close to the ground. The chain conveyor can include a chain and at least one coupling element arranged on the chain. The drivable chain of the chain conveyor can have a hook element or a spindle drive or other suitable coupling elements, which can be engaged in the component to be moved and carrying the prefabricated wall elements so as to drive the component by the chain. The transport element conveyor with the chain conveyor includes at least one coupling element engaged in the transport element. In this case, multiple coupling elements can be driven by a common chain, so that multiple transport elements can be driven simultaneously. In an alternative design, the coupling element or the transport element can be driven separately.
[0027] The shelf grid conveyor with chain conveyor can have at least one coupling element, which engages in the device carrying the prefabricated wall elements. The transport element and the device carrying the prefabricated wall elements can have rollers or slides. These rollers or slides can be guided by rails or other suitable elements.
[0028] The suspended conveyor can transport the prefabricated wall elements in a suspended manner. The suspended conveyor can be designed, for example, as a crane, which grabs the corresponding prefabricated wall elements or a device or transport element carrying the prefabricated wall elements from above. The crane can be guided on rails or by other suitable elements.
[0029] Combinations of chain conveyors and overhead conveyors are conceivable within a storage facility or within a floor. For example, a transport element conveyor can have an overhead conveyor and a shelf grid conveyor can have a chain conveyor, or vice versa. Alternatively, an overhead conveyor or a chain conveyor can be arranged within a storage facility or within a floor. The design of the conveyor can be adapted to the site conditions of the respective floor or the site conditions of the transport path.
[0030] According to an advantageous embodiment, the conveying system can include at least one drive which directly drives at least one transport element conveyor and / or at least one element of the transport element conveyor. In this case, the transport element conveyor can include a vehicle track which drives the wheels of the transport elements. Alternatively, the coupling elements of the transport element conveyor can be designed so that one drive also drives a plurality of transport elements.
[0031] For example, the drive can drive a chain element of one of the chain conveyors or a plurality of chain elements of different chain conveyors. The drive assigned to the transport element conveyor can indirectly drive a grid conveyor or an element of a grid conveyor and / or a conveyor of a lifting device or an element of a conveyor of a lifting device, for example by coupling the transport element conveyor to a grid conveyor or to a conveyor of a lifting device.
[0032] A further drive of the conveyor system can be assigned to one of the shelf compartment conveyors.The driving force can be transmitted to the wall element via suitable coupling elements.
[0033] According to an advantageous embodiment, the transport element conveyor and / or the transport element can include an additional drive which can be coupled to at least one of the grid conveyors and / or to at least one of the conveyor devices of the at least one lifting device and directly drives the grid conveyor and / or the conveyor devices of the corresponding lifting device or one of the elements. In this case, advantageously only the grid conveyors or only the conveyor devices of the lifting device which are required for transporting the prefabricated wall elements are driven. The prefabricated wall elements can be transported from the transport element into the grid, or from the grid into the transport element, or from the lifting device into the transport element, or from the transport element into the lifting device.
[0034] Alternatively or additionally, the shelf grid can have a drive that directly drives the shelf grid conveyor device coupled thereto.Alternatively or additionally, the lifting device can also have a drive that directly drives the conveyor device of the lifting device coupled thereto.
[0035] According to an advantageous embodiment, the prefabricated wall elements to be transported or stored can be arranged on a device with rollers. The prefabricated wall elements can be arranged on the device both during storage and during transport within the storage facility. The prefabricated wall elements can be easily moved as required by means of the rollers of the device. For example, coupling elements of a shelf grid conveyor can be connected to the device in order to transport the prefabricated wall elements together with the device from or into the shelf grid. Furthermore, the prefabricated wall elements can be moved together with the device by means of transport elements within the respective level and / or by means of lifting devices between levels. Other elements that enable the device to be moved are also conceivable, which are not rollers.
[0036] According to an advantageous design, the prefabricated wall elements to be transported or stored can be placed on a plurality of support areas of a device carrying the prefabricated wall elements and / or a transport element and / or a lifting device. In this case, the device and / or the transport element and / or the lifting device can have a suitable support surface.
[0037] By means of these supporting areas, the respective prefabricated wall element can be placed evenly on the device and / or the transport element and / or the lifting device, so that even force transmission is achieved and cracks in the prefabricated wall element can be prevented or at least made more difficult.
[0038] According to an advantageous design, the storage facility according to the invention may comprise a ventilation device, wherein the supporting structure and / or at least one of the rack grids accommodates elements of the ventilation device. For example, at least one ventilation inlet and / or at least one ventilation outlet may be provided for at least one rack grid, wherein the ventilation inlet draws air into the region of at least one rack grid, and the ventilation outlet discharges air in the region of at least one rack grid. Additionally or alternatively, the elements of the ventilation device may also be arranged in regions other than the supporting structure and / or the rack grids. For example, a room or hall in which the storage facility is arranged may have a ventilation device, wherein the elements of the ventilation device are arranged in the region of the supporting structure. Alternatively, the elements of the ventilation device may be arranged so that parameters such as air humidity, temperature and air exchange rate in the region of the supporting structure remain, for example, constant or within specified boundary values.
[0039] The ventilation openings allow air to be drawn off in an advantageous manner from the area of the respective shelf compartment and / or the storage area. Air that is too moist and / or too dry and / or too hot and / or too cold can be drawn off from the area of the shelf compartment and / or from the storage area in order to improve the drying or curing of the wall elements in the shelf compartment.
[0040] By means of the ventilation outlet, air can be supplied in the region of the corresponding shelf grid in an advantageous manner. At least one other element of the ventilation device can change at least one parameter of the air sucked in and supply air to the ventilation outlet so that the parameter of the air flowing out of the ventilation outlet has a value higher than a specified lower threshold value and / or a value lower than a specified upper threshold value. The exhausted air can, for example, have a humidity and / or temperature suitable for the prefabricated wall elements arranged in the shelf grid. Thus, the drying and / or curing of these prefabricated wall elements can be improved. In addition, by means of the ventilation device, nearly ideal climate storage conditions can be advantageously created for the prefabricated wall elements. Thus, it can be ensured that the prefabricated wall elements reach the specified quality. In addition, the air exchange rate can be adapted to the predetermined conditions in the storage facility. Toxic or unpleasant components in the air in the storage facility can be drawn away by the ventilation inlet at this point. A filter device can be used to filter the air and remove these components before the air is released into the storage facility through the ventilation outlet.
[0041] According to an advantageous embodiment, the shelf grid and / or the transport element and / or the lifting device can each have a frame with a plurality of frame elements and an anti-tilting device. The prefabricated wall elements to be stored or transported can be arranged in the frame. The anti-tilting device can securely fix the prefabricated wall elements so that they are securely held in the frame.
[0042] The frame can absorb and distribute the forces. The anti-tilting device can in particular have a guide rail. Since the guide rail blocks all but one degree of freedom in translation, the guide rail is suitable as an anti-tilting device. The guide rail and the frame can improve the weight distribution of the prefabricated wall element in the frame during storage, in particular during transport.
[0043] According to an advantageous design, the anti-tilt device can have a stabilizing element, which is connected to the prefabricated wall element to be transported and / or stored, and which is guided in a guide rail. For example, a U-shaped or V-shaped profile can have a pin and / or a connecting piece at the lowest point as a stabilizing element. The profile can, for example, be arranged on the upper side or lower side of the prefabricated wall element so that the prefabricated wall element is arranged in this area between the side strands (Schenkel) of the profile. If the profile is arranged on the upper side of the prefabricated wall element, the guide rail is arranged at the top of the frame. If the profile is arranged on the lower side of the prefabricated wall element, the guide rail is arranged at the bottom of the frame. The shelf grid and / or the transport element and / or the lifting device can also have a plurality of anti-tilt devices. The anti-tilt device can be implemented simply and cost-effectively by means of guide rails and stabilizing elements.
[0044] According to an advantageous design, the storage facility may include a storage facility management system, which controls the storage process and the retrieval process. In particular, the storage facility management system may store information related to the storage location and type of each prefabricated wall element.
[0045] As a result, prefabricated wall elements can be removed from the shelves fully or semi-automatically when required. In addition, such a storage system can simplify order picking. In addition, part of the storage facility management can be automated by the storage facility management system, requiring less human input. In addition, the loading of the storage facility and the unloading of the storage facility can be optimized by the storage facility management system.
[0046] According to an advantageous embodiment, the storage facility management system can have sensors which determine occupied and unoccupied areas within the modular support structure. This allows the storage of prefabricated wall elements to be carried out fully automatically or semi-automatically. For example, the sensors can be arranged on transport elements. The storage facility management system can use the sensors to find free locations for the respective prefabricated wall elements within the storage facility, thereby allowing the storage of prefabricated wall elements to be carried out with little human input.

[0057] In the figures, components of the same type or having the same effect are denoted by the same reference numerals.The figures show examples only and are not to be construed as limiting.
[0058] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the storage facility 10 for prefabricated wall elements 1 according to the invention comprises a modular support structure 20, a plurality of shelves 30 and a conveying system 40. The shelves 30 are arranged with their long sides parallel to each other and each shelf accommodates at least one prefabricated wall element 1. The conveying system 40 has at least one transport element 42, which accommodates at least one prefabricated wall element 1 and is arranged in a movable manner and at least sets up a transport path 41 between the shelves 30 of the layers 11 and 12.
[0059] The conveying system 40 includes a shelf grid conveying device 44 ( Figure 7 ) and transport element conveying device 46 ( Figure 5 ), the shelf grid conveying device 44 transports the prefabricated wall element 1 to the predetermined shelf grid 30 and transports it out of the shelf grid 30, and the transport element conveying device 46 drives at least one transport element 42. Figure 1 It can be seen that in the embodiment shown, the transport element conveyor 46 drives two transport elements 42. In another embodiment, the transport element conveyor 46 can drive only one transport element 42 or more than two transport elements 42. The modular support structure 20 accommodates at least several shelves 30 and conveyor systems 40, wherein the modular support structure 20 absorbs the forces transmitted by the shelves 30 and the conveyor systems 40.
[0060] from Figure 1 and Figure 2It can be seen that in the illustrated embodiment of the storage facility 10, the transport path 41 is arranged between two rows of shelves 30. In smaller storage facilities 10, only one row of shelves 30 can be provided instead of two rows of shelves 30 arranged opposite each other, wherein the transport path 41 passes by this row of shelves. For larger storage facilities 10, further rows of shelves 30 and corresponding central aisles can be envisaged. The central aisles can be arranged in a checkerboard pattern and connected to each other, so that the transport elements 42 can reach each central aisle.
[0061] Alternatively, the central aisles can be unconnected, wherein each central aisle or each transport path 41 is provided with at least one transport element 42 which moves only in the central aisle or on the transport path 41 and, if necessary, also in the central aisles or on the transport path 41 of the layers 11, 12 located above and / or below it.
[0062] from Figure 1 It can also be seen that two transport elements 42 are assigned to the shown transport path 41. In another embodiment, more than two or only one transport element 42 can be provided.
[0063] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the modular support structure 20 in the illustrated embodiment accommodates the shelves 30 in at least two levels 11 , 12 , and at least one lifting device 50 establishes a transport path 51 between the at least two levels 11 , 12 .
[0064] In another embodiment not shown, the storage facility can also have only one level 11 or more than two levels 11, 12. For each level 11, 12, at least one transport element 42 can be provided. Alternatively or additionally, the transport element 42 can also be moved between the levels 11, 12 via a lifting device 50. The transport paths 51 between the levels 11, 12 can connect the transport paths 41 of these levels 11, 12 arranged one above the other.
[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, maintenance channel elements 14 are provided on the shelf grids 30 and the lifting devices 50, such as a maintenance ladder 14 on the lifting device 50 and a platform 14 on the shelf grids 30, and the maintenance channel elements 14 enable access to the corresponding shelf grids 30 and the corresponding lifting devices 50, thereby facilitating maintenance work and / or repair work.
[0066] In an embodiment of the storage facility 10 in which the transport elements 42 can be moved between levels via a lifting device 50, the storage of the prefabricated wall elements 10 into the second level 12 can be carried out, for example, in the following manner: the transport elements 42 can travel with the corresponding prefabricated wall elements 10 from the entrance of the storage facility 10 on the first level 11 to a suitable lifting device 50, can be transferred from the lifting device 50 to the second level 12, and can then travel to the designated shelf 30. At the shelf 30, the prefabricated wall elements 10 are transferred from the transport elements 42 to the shelf 30 by a suitable shelf conveying device 44.
[0067] In the embodiment of the storage facility 10 in which the transport element 42 moves only in one level 11, 12 respectively, the storage of the prefabricated wall elements 10 can be carried out as follows: the transport element 42 of the first level 11 transports the prefabricated wall element 1 from the entrance of the first level 11 to a suitable lifting device 50, transfers the prefabricated wall element 1 to the lifting device 50 by a suitable conveying device, and the lifting device 50 transports the prefabricated wall element 1 to the second level 12, the transport element 42 of the second level 12 receives the prefabricated wall element 1 at the lifting device 50, and the lifting device 50 transfers the prefabricated wall element 10 to the transport element 42 by a suitable conveying device, and the transport element 42 conveys the prefabricated wall element 10 to the designated shelf 30. The conveying device can be a chain conveyor or a telescopic arm or a hanging conveyor. At the shelf 30, the prefabricated wall element 10 is transferred from the transport element 42 to the shelf 30 by a suitable shelf conveying device 44.
[0068] The removal or transfer of prefabricated wall elements 10 can be carried out in a similar manner to the storage. In addition, if necessary, the prefabricated wall elements 10 can be transferred between the transport elements 42 by suitable conveying devices.
[0069] As from Figure 1 and Figure 3 It can also be seen that the lifting device 50 in the illustrated embodiment of the storage facility 10 is arranged on an end face of the storage facility 10. The lifting device 50 can also be arranged in the center of the storage facility 10.
[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, the transport element conveyors 46 shown each comprise a chain conveyor 48. In an alternative embodiment, the transport element conveyors 46 can comprise a suspended conveyor, or the transport elements 42 themselves can comprise a drive as the transport element conveyors 46.
[0071] In an embodiment not shown, the grid conveyor 44 can also have a chain conveyor in order to transfer the prefabricated wall elements 10 into the grids 30 or from the grids 30 to the transport elements 42. The drive for the chain conveyor can be arranged on the transport elements 42 or on the corresponding grids 30.
[0072] exist Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the shelf grid conveying device 44 is designed as a telescopic arm, which is arranged on the transport element 42 and driven by a drive (not shown) on the transport element 42. The telescopic arm can have a coupling element, which can be coupled to the prefabricated wall element 10 or to a device on which the prefabricated wall element 10 is arranged, so that the prefabricated wall element 10 can be pushed into the shelf grid 30 and pulled out of the shelf grid 30, for example, by the telescopic arm. In addition, the telescopic arm can also be used as a conveying device when transferring the prefabricated wall element 10 into or out of the lifting device 50.
[0073] from Figure 5 It can also be seen that the conveyor system 40 in the illustrated embodiment comprises at least one drive 49 which directly drives at least one transport element conveyor 46 and / or at least one element of the transport element conveyor 46 .
[0074] from Figure 5 It can also be seen that the chain conveyor 48 of the transport element conveyor 46 in the illustrated embodiment comprises a chain and at least one coupling element arranged on the chain. Ropes and other suitable components are also conceivable. The coupling element can be designed as a hook element or a spindle driver, which hooks into a predetermined area of the transport element 42.
[0075] The chain is driven by a driver 49. The driver 49 can also drive other chains of other transport element conveying devices 46. At least one of the coupling elements is connected to the transport element 42, and the transport element 42 moves with the chain. In this case, a plurality of coupling elements are arranged on the chain at predetermined intervals, so that a plurality of transport elements 42 can be moved. In the illustrated embodiment, the transport element 42 is guided on a track. In an alternative embodiment not shown, the transport element 42 can also be placed on fixed rollers. In another alternative embodiment, a chain guide of the transport element 42 can be envisaged. In another alternative embodiment, each coupling element can be driven separately. Thus, one transport element 42 is moved by the chain conveyor device at a time.
[0076] from Figure 7It can also be seen that the transport element 42 has a further drive 49, which can be coupled to at least one of the grid conveyors 44 and / or to at least one conveyor of at least one lifting device 50 and directly drives the grid conveyors 44 and / or the conveyors of the corresponding lifting devices 50. In an alternative design, the grid conveyors 44 can also be coupled to the drive 49 of the chain conveyor 48.
[0077] Figure 7 The arrangement of the prefabricated wall elements 1 is not shown in detail. For example, the prefabricated wall elements 1 to be transported or stored can be arranged on a device with rollers. The device can be arranged together with the prefabricated wall elements 1 in the shelf grid 30 or in the transport element 42 or in the lifting device 50.
[0078] from Figure 4 and Figure 7 It can be seen in FIG. 1 that the prefabricated wall elements 1 to be transported or stored are placed on a plurality of support areas 47 of a transport element 42 and / or a lifting device 50 of a device carrying prefabricated wall elements.

Alternatively, the elements 62, 64, 66 of the ventilation device 60 can be arranged so that: in the area of the support structure 20, parameters such as humidity, temperature, air exchange rate can be kept constant or within a range of predetermined parameters, for example. Storage facilities 10 without ventilation devices 60 are also conceivable.
[0082] from Figures 1 to 7 It can also be seen that the shelf grid 30 and / or the transport element 42 and / or the lifting device 50 each have a frame 32, which has a plurality of frame elements 34 and an anti-tilt device 36. In the embodiment shown, the anti-tilt device 36 has a guide rail 37. The guide rail 37 is respectively integrated with the upper frame element 34 ( Figure 5 ).
[0083] The anti-tilting device 36 further comprises a stabilizing element 38 which is coupled to the prefabricated wall element 1 to be transported and / or stored and which is guided in a guide rail 37 .
[0084] In this case, for example, a U-shaped or V-shaped profile (not shown) can have pins and / or webs at low points as stabilizing elements 38 .
[0085] Figure 8 A storage facility 10 is shown with a storage facility management system 70, which controls storage and retrieval processes, wherein the storage facility management system 70 stores information about the storage locations of individual prefabricated wall elements 1. The storage facility management system 70 comprises sensors 72, which determine occupied and unoccupied areas within the modular support structure 20. For example, reflective elements, such as photoelectric cells, can be arranged on the stored prefabricated wall elements 1. Ultrasonic sensors can be arranged on the transport elements 42.
