Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a warehouse, a partition wall for a warehouse and a partition wall system for a warehouse.
[0002] Partition walls in warehouses are used to divide storage levels into shelf compartments. This allows the storage levels to be flexibly adapted to the dimensions of the objects being stored, such as goods, containers, carriers, or storage boxes.
[0003] Common partition walls are made of steel. These types of partition walls are heavy and have fixed dimensions. Therefore, they are expensive to manufacture and not very flexible in their use.
[0004] Against this background, the present invention is based on the technical problem of providing an improved warehouse, an improved partition wall and an improved partition wall system, wherein in particular the partition wall should be lighter, more cost-effective to manufacture and more flexible in its application.
[0005] The technical problem described above is solved by the features of the independent claims. Further embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims and the following description.
[0006] According to a first aspect, the invention relates to a warehouse with a supporting structure that carries at least one shelf forming a storage level for goods, and with at least one partition wall that divides the storage level into shelf compartments, wherein the partition wall is inserted into recesses in the shelf. The warehouse is characterized in that the partition wall is formed in at least two parts, wherein the partition wall has at least one fixing element that is inserted into at least one recess in the shelf, and wherein the partition wall has a wall element that is inserted into a receptacle of the fixing element.
[0007] The modular design of the partition wall, consisting of wall elements and fixing elements, allows for a more cost-effective overall provision of the partition wall, as the wall elements and fixing elements can be manufactured separately and independently of each other. In particular, the wall elements and the fixing elements can be made of different materials.
[0008] Furthermore, the at least two-part construction of the partition wall according to the invention allows for separate replacement and separate maintenance of the wall element and the fixing element.
[0009] Furthermore, wall elements of different sizes can be combined with the fixing element, resulting in better overall flexibility in use.
[0010] The fixing element may be made of plastic, in particular consisting of plastic and especially manufactured using an injection molding process. This allows the fixing element to be provided cost-effectively and with a low weight.
[0011] The fixing element may be made of, or in particular consist of, a fiber-reinforced plastic. This allows the fixing element to be provided cost-effectively and with a low weight.
[0012] The fixing element can be designed to have or be made of a sandwich composite material. This allows the fixing element to be provided cost-effectively and has a low weight.
[0013] The fixing element may be designed to have a metallic material or be made of a metallic material. This allows the fixing element to be designed to be particularly robust.
[0014] Overall, the material of the fixing element can be selected according to the application.
[0015] The wall element may be designed to have one or more of the following materials or to consist of one or more of the following materials: metal, such as steel or the like, plastic, including recycled plastic, fiber-reinforced plastic, wire mesh, cardboard.
[0016] According to one embodiment, the fixing element may have a projection that extends into the recess of the shelf.
[0017] The projection can be integrally molded onto the fixing element, e.g., using injection molding. The projection can have a tapered end, in particular an arc-shaped or circular arc-shaped end, or a point or chamfer to facilitate insertion of the projection into the recess of the shelf.
[0018] The projection can extend outwards from a leg of the fixing element that rests on the shelf in the assembled state.
[0019] The projection, together with the recess, forms a positive-locking connection for the fixing element in the assembled state, preventing horizontal displacement. Specifically, it secures the fixing element against displacement in the longitudinal and / or lateral direction of the shelf. The recess encloses the projection circumferentially in such a way that no lateral displacement of the fixing element is possible – apart from the necessary assembly clearance, unless an interference or transition fit is used. Therefore, the position of the recess definitively determines the mounting position of the fixing element on the shelf, both longitudinally and laterally.
[0020] The fixing element can be inserted into the recess and removed from the recess by a vertical assembly movement, so that the fixing element is detachably held to the shelf. In other words, the fixing element is inserted into the shelf with its projection and rests on the shelf in a removable manner. Specifically, the projection sits in the recess or penetrates the recess, depending on whether the recess is designed as a blind hole or a through opening.
[0021] The wall element can be secured to the fixing element against loss without additional fasteners, either positively or non-positively, and in particular against being lifted out of the fixing element perpendicular to the shelf. This is because when removing an object stored on the shelf by lifting it, the object may come into contact with the wall element during lifting. The positively and / or non-positively secured attachment of the wall element to the fixing element prevents the wall element from being partially or completely lifted out of the fixing element as a result of this contact.
[0022] It may be provided that the wall element is positively attached to the fixing element, in particular by providing a locking projection that engages in an associated locking opening.
[0023] It can be provided that the locking projection is formed on the wall element and an associated locking opening, into which the locking projection engages, is formed on the fixing element. Alternatively, it can be provided that the locking projection is formed on the fixing element and an associated locking opening, into which the locking projection engages, is formed on the wall element.
[0024] The locking projection can be wedge-shaped. This allows for a relative displacement and sliding along the wedge-shaped locking projection in the insertion direction during assembly, until the locking projection aligns with the locking opening and engages in it.
[0025] For example, two opposing, wedge-shaped locking projections can be arranged on the side walls of the fixing element. When the wall element is inserted, the side walls are initially displaced laterally as the wall element slides along the wedge-shaped locking projections. They then spring back to their respective starting positions as soon as the locking projections engage in their corresponding locking opening(s). The fixing element is thus reversibly deformable to allow for repeated locking and removal of the wall element.
[0026] According to one embodiment, the wall element can be force-fitted to the fixing element, with the wall element being clamped, in particular, on both sides between the side walls of the fixing element. In other words, the wall element can be resiliently clamped between the side walls of the fixing element, the resilient or clamping effect being provided by the material of the fixing element itself.
[0027] Alternatively or additionally, the wall element can be springily elastically clamped in a tapered groove of the fixing element.
[0028] The wall element is in particular a planar component, preferably with a constant wall thickness.
[0029] It is possible to specify designs of the fixing element and the wall element that combine the form-fitting or force-fitting connection described above.
[0030] As already mentioned, the fixing element has a receptacle for receiving the wall element. It may be designed so that the opening width of the receptacle is narrowed, at least in sections, in particular tapered in a wedge shape.
[0031] This narrowing or tapering can, on the one hand, facilitate the clamping action described above. On the other hand, the narrowing or tapering allows for the reliable attachment of wall elements of varying thicknesses. In this case, the shape of the fixing element adapts to the thickness of the wall element during installation. The fixing element then acts like a spring clip.
[0032] According to one embodiment, the fixing element may have a first groove with a first groove width for receiving a wall element with a first wall thickness and a second groove with a second groove width for receiving a wall element with a second wall thickness, wherein the first groove width is smaller than the second groove width. The shape of the fixing element can therefore be adapted to the wall thicknesses of different wall elements.
[0033] It can be designed so that the first groove is integrated as a step into the base of the second groove. The grooves are therefore nested within each other, enabling a compact integration of both grooves into the fixing element.
[0034] Each groove can have a tapered groove width to clamp a wall element.
[0035] According to one embodiment, the base body of the fixing element may have a triangular shape with two legs, the first of which rests against a longitudinal side of the wall element facing the shelf, and the second of which rests against an end face of the wall element. The fixing element can therefore enclose or frame an associated corner of the wall element.
[0036] The partition may be designed in three parts, comprising two fixing elements and the wall element. The fixing elements are mounted to the shelf at a distance from each other and form a receiving area corresponding to the length of the wall element. It is understood that the fixing elements can also be attached to the wall element before the partition is mounted to the shelf, thus enabling the entire partition to be mounted on the shelf.
[0037] According to one embodiment, the fixing elements can be arranged at opposite corners of the wall element facing the shelf, and each fixing element is inserted into a corresponding recess in the shelf.
[0038] It can be designed so that the storage level of the shelf is a flat surface for storing goods, with the recess being a passageway interrupting this flat surface. By integrating the recess into the flat surface, no structures that would interfere with the storage and / or retrieval of goods are required to attach the fixing element to the shelf.
[0039] Alternatively or additionally, the fixing element can be formed in one piece. The fixing element can therefore be provided cost-effectively as a single component that can be assembled easily and quickly.
[0040] Alternatively or additionally, the fixing element can be designed to sit directly in the recess. This eliminates the need for any intermediate elements or fasteners, so that the fixing element is held in place on the shelf solely by its insertion into the recess. This allows for simple, tool-free installation of the fixing element on the shelf.
[0041] It may be provided that no strip is used to attach and / or position the fixing element on the shelf. Strips are often used to allow longitudinal movement of the fixing element for adjusting the position of the partition. The fixing element is held by this strip, which is attached to the shelf. Such a strip is an additional component, which increases costs. Furthermore, such a strip can be a potential point of collision when storing and retrieving objects. According to the invention, preferably no such strip is used, so that the fixing element is attached directly to the shelf itself, without a strip as an intermediate element.
[0042] In particular, the fixing element is not movable when mounted on the shelf. Rather, its position is fixed by the recess. For positioning the partition, the shelf may be designed with multiple recesses arranged along its length. This allows the desired shelf compartment layout to be adjusted by selecting the appropriate recess.
[0043] Alternatively or additionally, it may be stipulated that no fasteners extending vertically from the storage level or resting on the storage level are provided for attaching and / or positioning the fixing element on the shelf. Such fasteners can act as a potential collision barrier when storing and retrieving objects.
[0044] According to one embodiment, the fixing element may have a region facing the shelf and surrounding the partition on two sides, wherein this region of the fixing element rests against the shelf and has a greater length than a region of the fixing element facing away from the shelf and surrounding the partition on two sides.
[0045] Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the fixing element, viewed from the shelf in the vertical direction, is tapered at least in sections or is tapered.
[0046] Alternatively or additionally, the fixing element may be provided to have a triangular basic shape.
[0047] Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the clamping length of the fixing element enclosing the partition wall, viewed from the shelf in a vertical direction, decreases or diminishes at least section by section.
[0048] The warehouse may be designed to have multiple shelves. Alternatively or additionally, the warehouse may be designed to have multiple partitions. It may also be designed to have multiple recesses arranged in at least two rows or exactly two rows at predetermined intervals on each shelf.
[0049] According to a second aspect, the invention relates to a partition wall for a warehouse, wherein the partition wall is configured to divide a storage level of a warehouse into shelf compartments, and wherein the partition wall can be inserted into recesses of a shelf of the warehouse. The partition wall is characterized in that it is formed in at least two parts, wherein the partition wall has at least one fixing element that can be inserted into at least one recess of the shelf, and wherein the partition wall has a wall element that is inserted into a receptacle of the fixing element.
[0050] All the aforementioned configurations relating to the partition wall of the claimed warehouse can equally be part of the partition wall claimed here.
[0051] According to a third aspect, the invention relates to a partition wall system for a warehouse with a plurality of partition walls according to the invention, wherein at least two wall elements are provided which differ from each other with respect to one or more of the following features: wall thickness, material, height, shape and / or wherein at least two fixing elements are provided which differ from each other with respect to one or more of the following features: force-fit wall element fixing, form-fit wall element fixing, number of grooves, groove width, material.
[0052] When the term "warehouse" is used here, it does not refer to a shelving system in the sense of a piece of furniture for private use in a residential setting, but rather to an industrially used warehouse for industrial storage or logistics purposes. The supporting structure and the shelves can be made of steel or sheet steel and are designed, for example, to bear loads of several hundred kilograms.

[0054] Fig. 1 Figure 1 shows a warehouse 2 according to the invention. The warehouse 2 has a support structure 4. The support structure 4 carries a plurality of shelves 6. Each shelf 6 forms a storage level 8 for storing goods.
[0055] Warehouse 2 has multiple partitions 10 that divide the respective storage levels 8 into shelf compartments 12. The two upper storage levels 8 each have only one partition 10, so that for these storage levels 8, two shelf compartments 12 are formed by the partitions 10. In the middle storage levels 8, two partitions 10 are provided for one storage level 8, separating three shelf compartments 12, and for another storage level 8, three partitions 10 are provided, separating four shelf compartments 12. For clarity, only some of the shelves 6, storage levels 8, partitions 10, and shelf compartments 12 have been labeled with reference numbers.
[0056] The partition walls 10 are each inserted into recesses 14 of the shelves 6.
[0057] The recesses 14 are arranged in two rows on each shelf and are equidistant from each other. The recesses 14 thus define the possible positions for subdividing the storage levels 8 into shelf compartments 12.
[0058] One of the partition walls 10 according to the invention is described in more detail below with reference to Figures 2 and 3.
[0059] In the present example, the partition wall 10 is designed in three parts.
[0060] The partition 10 has two fixing elements 16, 16', 16'', 16‴. The different variants of the fixing elements with their respective designations 16, 16', 16'', 16‴ are described in detail later with reference to further figures. Each of the fixing elements 16, 16', 16'', 16‴ sits in a corresponding recess 14 of the shelf 14.
[0061] The partition wall 10 has a wall element 18 that is inserted into the fixing elements 16, 16', 16", 16‴. Each fixing element 16, 16', 16", 16‴ has a receptacle 20, which will be described in more detail below with reference to further figures. The wall element 18 is therefore inserted into the receptacle 20 of the respective fixing element 16, 16', 16", 16‴.
[0062] The fixing elements 16, 16', 16", 16‴ are arranged at opposite corners 41 of the wall element 18 facing the shelf 6 and each fixing element 16, 16', 16", 16‴ is inserted into a corresponding recess 14 of the shelf 6.
[0063] Each fixing element 16, 16', 16'', 16‴ has a projection 22 which, in the assembled state, protrudes into the respective associated recess 14 of the shelf 6 ( Fig. 3 ). The projection 22 of each fixing element 16, 16', 16'', 16‴ is rounded at the end.
[0064] The fixing elements 16, 16', 16", 16‴ are made of a plastic and have been manufactured using an injection molding process.
[0065] Fig. 4A shows a design of a fixing element 16 in a perspective view.
[0066] The fixing element 16 has a first groove 24 with a first groove width W1 for
[0067] The fixing element 16 has a second groove 26 with a second groove width W2 for receiving a wall element with a second wall thickness. The first groove width W1 is smaller than the second groove width W2.
[0068] The first groove 24 is incorporated as a step into a groove base 28 of the second groove 26.
[0069] A basic body 30 of the fixing element 16 has a triangular shape, with two legs 32, 34 formed.
[0070] One of the two legs 32 rests against a longitudinal side 37 of the wall element 18 facing the shelf. A second of the two legs 34 rests against an end face 39 of the wall element 18.
[0071] As in Fig. 4C As can be seen, the grooves 24, 26 extend along both legs 32, 34. As in Fig. 4D As can be seen, the grooves 24, 26 are tapered or narrowed to facilitate the clamping of a wall element 18 and thus create a force-fit connection between the fixing element 16 and the wall element 18.
[0072] Adjacent to the legs 32, 34, side cheeks 36 of the fixing element 16 are formed, which enclose the corners 41 of the wall element 18 on two sides.
[0073] Fig. 4E shows the fixing element 16 in a side view. Fig. 4F The fixing element 16 is shown. Fig. 4A in a sectional view.
[0074] The Figuren 5A - 5F show another fixing element 16'. To avoid repetition, only the differences to the fixing element 16 described above will be discussed below, whereby the same reference marks are assigned to the same features.
[0075] The fixing element 16' does not have any of the grooves described above. Furthermore, the wall element 18 is attached to the fixing element 16' by a positive-locking connection.
[0076] The fixing element 16' has two opposing locking projections 38 which are wedge-shaped ( Fig. 5C, Fig. 5D In the fully assembled state, a respective locking projection 38 engages in an associated locking opening 40 of the wall element 18, so that the fixing element 16' is held securely on the wall element 18.
[0077] The locking elements 38 are formed on the side walls 36 of the fixing element 16'.
[0078] According to alternative embodiments, the locking projections can be formed on the wall element and the locking openings on the fixing element. The function of positive locking is achieved in the same way.
[0079] The Figuren 6A - 6F show another fixing element 16”. To avoid repetition, only the differences to the fixing elements described above will be discussed below, whereby the same reference marks are assigned to the same features.
[0080] The fixing element 16" does not have a force-fit or form-fit connection to the wall element 18. The wall element 18 is therefore merely inserted into the
[0081] Fixing element 16‴ is inserted, and in the fully assembled state is held in position by two fixing elements 16‴ spaced apart from each other (see. Fig. 1 , Fig. 2 ).
[0082] The Figuren 7A - 7F show another fixing element 16‴. To avoid repetition, only the differences to the fixing elements described above will be discussed below, whereby the same reference marks are assigned to the same features.
[0083] The fixing element 16‴ has a positive-locking connection to the wall element 18, wherein the fixing element 16‴ has a projection 42 interrupting the course of the grooves 24, 26, which extends between the side walls 36.
[0084] The projection 42 engages in a recess 44 of the wall element 18. In this way, the wall element 18 is additionally secured against vertical displacement by a positive locking mechanism.
[0085] It is understood that a wall element 18 in question may be designed depending on the design of the fixing element to be used, i.e. it may have the recesses described above.
[0086] According to alternative embodiments, it may be provided that only one fixing element 16, 16', 16", 16‴, possibly slightly longer, is provided for receiving the wall element 18 ( Fig. 8 ).
[0087] According to alternative embodiments, it can be provided that two fixing elements 16, 16', 16'', 16‴ are formed in one piece, i.e. as a single part and connected to each other by an integrated web 46, so that in this case it could actually be said to be a fixing element for receiving the wall element 18 ( Fig. 9 ).
[0088] According to alternative embodiments, the fixing elements 16, 16', 16'', 16‴ can be provided to extend over the entire height of the wall element 18 ( Fig. 10 ).
[0089] In all the embodiments described above, the storage level 8 of the shelf 6 is a flat surface for storing goods, with the recesses 14 being through-openings 14 interrupting the flat surface. According to alternative embodiments, the recesses 14 can be blind holes.
[0090] For all the embodiments described above, the fixing elements 16, 16', 16'', 16‴ are formed in one piece and sit directly in the respective associated recess 14, without any strip being provided for fastening and / or positioning the fixing elements 16, 16', 16", 16‴ on the shelf 6.
[0091] For all the embodiments described above, no fastening means extending vertically from the storage level 8 or fastening means sitting on the storage level 8 are provided for fastening and / or positioning the respective fixing element 16, 16', 16", 16‴ on the shelf 6.
[0092] For all the embodiments described above, the respective fixing element 16, 16', 16'', 16‴ has a region 3 facing the shelf 6 and enclosing the partition 10 on two sides, wherein this region 3 of the respective fixing element 16, 16', 16'', 16‴ rests against the shelf 8 and has a greater length L1 than a region 5 of the fixing element 16, 16', 16'', 16‴ facing away from the shelf 6 and enclosing the partition 10 on two sides, whose length L2 is therefore shorter.
[0093] For all embodiments described above, the fixing element 16, 16', 16'', 16‴ is tapered when viewed vertically from the shelf 6 in the direction of height H, and the clamping length L1 of the fixing element 16, 16', 16", 16‴ enclosing the partition 18 decreases when viewed vertically from the shelf 6 in the direction of height H.
