Background Art

[0002] Storage stations are used in technical installations, for example in production halls, to store transport carriers, such as pallets, containers or grid boxes. The transport carriers are used to receive raw materials to be processed as well as finished products. In technical systems, transport carriers are transported by vehicles, such as forklifts, and are temporarily stored at a specified transfer location, in particular at a storage station, before further transport. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to improve a storage station for storing carrier brackets.

[0004] According to the invention, this object is achieved by a storage station for storing carrier racks having the following features.

[0005] The storage station for storing carrier racks according to the utility model comprises a first pillar, a second pillar, a third pillar, a fourth pillar, a first supporting element connected to the first pillar and the second pillar, a second supporting element connected to the third pillar and the fourth pillar, a first crossbeam connected to the first pillar and the third pillar, and a second crossbeam connected to the second pillar and the fourth pillar. Here, the pillars extend in parallel with each other in the vertical direction, the supporting elements extend in parallel with each other in the longitudinal direction, and the crossbeams extend in parallel with each other in the transverse direction. The pillars respectively have a base, a foot, and an adjustment device, wherein the distance between the foot and the base in the vertical direction can be adjusted by means of the adjustment device.

[0006] Thus, by means of the adjustment device, the extension of the individual pillars in the vertical direction can be adjusted. In the technical installation, the storage station is positioned so that the vertical direction extends perpendicular to the ground. With the adjustment device, unevenness of the ground can be compensated. In particular, the storage station can be arranged so that the feet of all pillars are in contact with the ground.

[0007] According to an advantageous design of the utility model, the adjustment device comprises a screw connected to the foot of the support in a non-rotatable manner and a nut connected to the base of the support in a non-rotatable manner. Here, the screw is at least partially screwed into the nut. By rotating the foot relative to the base, the distance between the foot and the base in the vertical direction can be adjusted relatively easily and accurately.

[0008] According to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the support element is connected to the support column in a non-detachable manner, in particular in a materially bonded manner, thereby increasing the stability of the storage station.

[0009] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the crossbeam is connected to the support in a releasable manner, in particular in a form-fitting manner. As a result, the storage station can be disassembled relatively easily. The storage station can be transported more easily in the disassembled state. If the storage station is not needed, the space requirement is also reduced in the disassembled state.

[0010] According to an advantageous design of the utility model, the base of the support has a rectangular cross section, in particular a square cross section. An L-shaped profile / angle steel is respectively mounted on the end side of the crossbeam, and the L-shaped profile has two legs that are perpendicular to each other. Each leg of the L-shaped profile rests on one side of the support base. This further increases the stability of the storage station.

[0011] According to an advantageous design of the utility model, the respective legs of the L-shaped profile have a plurality of openings, and a plurality of bolts are respectively mounted on the base of the pillar. The bolts extend through the openings. By removing the bolts from the openings, the form-locking connection between the crossbeam and the pillar can be relatively easily loosened. By inserting the bolts into the openings, the form-locking connection can be relatively easily produced.

[0012] According to an advantageous design of the utility model, the support elements each have a support surface for receiving a carrier. The support surface is perpendicular to the vertical direction and is partially surrounded by a centering inclined portion. Therefore, the carrier can be placed on the support surface of the support element. The centering inclined portion ensures that the carrier can be correctly oriented on the support surface even if the carrier is not positioned accurately when placed.

[0013] According to an advantageous design of the utility model, the storage station comprises at least one inductive sensor for detecting a carrier on the support surface of the support element. The inductive sensor is connected to a central server via a data bus, for example, and sends a corresponding signal to the server when detecting a carrier.

[0014] According to an advantageous design of the utility model, the storage station comprises at least one RFID tag, which is arranged on the support surface of the support element. The RFID tag is used to detect the metal carrier bracket located on the support surface of the support element, for example by an automatic transport vehicle. When the storage station does not store the carrier bracket, the RFID tag can be identified. When the metal carrier bracket is located on the support surface, the RFID tag is covered by the carrier bracket. Therefore, the RFID tag cannot be identified.

[0015] According to an advantageous design of the utility model, the pillar is at least partially covered with a film that reflects electromagnetic waves, in particular a film that reflects light beams and laser beams, thereby simplifying the detection of the storage station by the self-driving vehicle with the aid of a laser scanner or an optical sensor.

[0016] According to an advantageous design of the utility model, a curtain is arranged between at least two pillars, and the curtain is made of a material that reflects electromagnetic waves, in particular light beams and laser beams, thereby simplifying the detection of the storage station by the autonomous driving vehicle with the aid of a laser scanner or an optical sensor.

[0017] The utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned feature combination. For those skilled in the art, in particular, other reasonable combinations of the above-mentioned feature combination and / or individual features and / or features to be described below and / or features of the accompanying drawings can be obtained from the purpose proposed and / or the purpose proposed by comparison with the prior art.
