Description

[0001] warehouse

[0002] The present invention relates to a warehouse. Warehouses typically have a support structure that forms a plurality of storage levels, wherein the support structure comprises a plurality of interconnected supports.

[0003] In logistics, there is a constant demand for innovative and efficient solutions for storing goods. A fundamental problem that has a significant impact on the costs, durability, and ease of maintenance of a warehouse mentioned above is the design of the connections between the beams of the supporting structure.

[0004] Against this background, the present invention is based on the technical problem of providing an improved warehouse, which in particular features an efficient connection of the warehouse's supports. The technical problem described above is solved by the features of the independent claim. Further embodiments of the invention emerge from the dependent claims and the following description.

[0005] According to the invention, a warehouse is specified, comprising a support structure which forms a plurality of storage levels, wherein the support structure has a plurality of interconnected supports, wherein a first support of the support structure is fastened in a form-fitting manner to a second support of the support structure by hanging, wherein a longitudinal axis of the first support is oriented perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the second support, wherein a first form-fitting connection is provided in order to secure the first support in a form-fitting manner to the second support against rotation under load about a longitudinal axis of the second support, and wherein a second form-fitting connection is provided in order to secure the first support in a form-fitting manner to the second support against rotation under load about the longitudinal axis of the first support.

[0006] Connecting the first support to the second support by hooking them together enables rapid assembly of the first support to the second support. In particular, assembly can be carried out without tools, so that, depending on the weight of the first support, only lifting and handling of the first support relative to the second support using a lifting device may be required to assemble the first support to the second support.

[0007] In particular, the first support is not screwed, welded or riveted to the second support, but is only connected to the second support in a form-fitting manner.

[0008] The positive connections enable reliable and cost-effective securing of the first beam to the second beam against twisting or tipping.

[0009] The supports of the storage levels form, in particular, rails spaced apart from one another, which are designed to receive containers for storing goods, such as plastic containers or the like.

[0010] The containers for goods storage can be designed to hold a weight of up to 50 kg. The containers for goods storage can, for example, have a width of 40 cm, a length of 60 cm, and a height of 40 cm.

[0011] In particular, the supports of the storage levels can form spaced-apart rails designed to accommodate containers for goods storage with a width of 40 cm. The supports can be made of steel. The supports can be made of folded and / or punched and / or formed sheet steel.

[0012] A sheet thickness of the supports can be selected from a range of 1 mm - 3 mm.

[0013] The first beam can be a horizontally extending cantilever with a freely projecting end. For this beam, installation by hooking it in is particularly efficient, as the first beam's installation to the second beam is already completed by hooking it in at one end. Likewise, particularly efficient disassembly is possible, as the beam only needs to be moved in the opposite direction to the hooking in.

[0014] The first support can be arranged, viewed vertically, between a floor on which the goods storage unit is mounted and a first storage level, with the first storage level being the storage level with the shortest vertical distance from the floor. If the first support is designed, for example, as the horizontally extending cantilever arm described above, this, and possibly additional first supports, can be arranged between the first storage level and the floor to enable intermediate storage of goods.

[0015] The first support may have a shorter length than supports of the storage levels extending parallel to the first support.

[0016] The first support can be part of an intermediate level for the temporary storage of goods, wherein the intermediate level has a smaller storage capacity than the respective storage levels. In particular, the intermediate level can have a plurality of first supports, each of which is designed as a horizontally extending cantilever arm in the manner described above.

[0017] It can be provided that the intermediate level has the same storage capacity as the respective storage levels. When referring to storage capacity in this case, this refers to the allocated storage volume or the number of boxes that can be accommodated in the intermediate level or a storage level.

[0018] Such an intermediate level enables, for example, the efficient operation of warehouse robots. For example, a lift robot, which removes goods from various storage levels similar to a forklift, can position these goods on the intermediate level. From the ground-level intermediate level, these goods can be removed by shuttle robots and transported away from the warehouse. Thus, a single lift robot can serve multiple shuttle robots by pre-positioning goods on the intermediate level. This advantage also applies to the loading of goods.

[0019] The connection technology described above can be used not only for horizontal beams, but can also be used for vertical beams.

[0020] The first beam can be a vertically extending column. The first beam can support the second beam to counteract deflection of the second beam, wherein the first beam is secured, in particular, with a ground anchor. Accordingly, the first beam can be used, in particular, as an additional support, for example, to reduce deflection of the second beam or to stiffen the structure as a whole.

[0021] The design of the positive connections is described in more detail below.

[0022] The first positive connection can have a hook portion formed on an end portion of the first carrier. The first positive connection can also have a through-opening formed on a profile wall of the second carrier and for inserting the hook portion into an interior space of the second carrier, wherein the hook portion of the first carrier is arranged at least partially within the interior space of the second carrier and at least partially abuts a side of the profile wall of the second carrier facing the interior space in order to positively secure the first carrier to the second carrier against rotation under load about the longitudinal axis of the second carrier.

[0023] It can be provided that the hook section has a length measured perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the first and second supports that is greater than a length of the through-opening measured perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the first and second supports, and that the hook section has a width measured parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first support that is smaller than the length of the through-opening. Due to the dimensions of the hook section selected in this way, the hook section can be inserted into the interior of the second support in such a way that the hook section is first inserted through the through-opening into the interior of the second support, oriented along its narrow side, and is then pivoted together with the first support to create the positive connection.

[0024] The hook portion may have a substantially arcuate portion and / or a substantially rectilinear portion adjacent to the profile wall of the second carrier.

[0025] After the hook section has been inserted into the through-opening of the second carrier, the first carrier can be positively fixed to the second carrier by a pure pivoting movement.

[0026] The hook portion can be held on a portion of a horizontally extending support surface spanning the profile cross-section of the second support for receiving goods from the first support. In particular, it can be provided that the horizontally extending support surface of the first support transitions into a vertical portion on which the hook portion is formed.

[0027] The through-opening of the second carrier can be slot-shaped and the hook portion of the first carrier can have a smaller wall thickness than a width of the slot, wherein the wall thickness of the hook portion corresponds in particular to a sheet thickness of the first carrier.

[0028] The first support can consist of a laser-cut and / or folded and / or formed and / or punched sheet metal, in particular a laser-cut and / or folded and / or formed and / or punched steel sheet. This also applies to the second support.

[0029] The end portion of the first support may have two spaced-apart hook portions. The profile wall of the second support may have two spaced-apart through-openings into which the hook portions engage.

[0030] The first support can have a recess, wherein a profile cross-section of the second support is arranged at least partially within the recess of the first support, and the first support rests on the second support. The first support can therefore at least partially encompass the second support in the region of the recess.

[0031] The hook sections can be arranged adjacent to the recess. In particular, the hook sections can laterally delimit the recess, at least in sections.

[0032] The recess can be delimited by a profile section of the first support opposite the first positive connection, ie in particular the hook sections, wherein the recess is widened in the region of the profile section towards the center of the first support, and wherein a distance increasing towards the center of the first support is formed between the profile cross section of the second support and the profile section of the first support.

[0033] The widening of the recess can serve to enable pivoting of the first support relative to the second support without jamming the supports during the pivoting movement. For example, if the second support has a rectangular profile cross-section, this rectangular profile cross-section would represent a collision structure during pivoting, provided the recess had a straight boundary. The local widening of the recess of the first support thus enables collision-free pivoting of the recess around a rectangular cross-section of the second support.

[0034] It can be provided that the second positive connection has a web formed on the first carrier and the second positive connection has a receptacle formed on the second carrier for receiving the web, wherein the web of the first carrier is arranged at least in sections within the receptacle of the second carrier, and wherein the receptacle encloses the web on at least two sides in order to secure the first carrier in a positive-locking manner against rotation under load about the longitudinal axis of the first carrier on the second carrier.

[0035] The receptacle formed on the second support for receiving the web may be a through opening.

[0036] The receptacle formed on the second carrier may have a rectangular cross-section.

[0037] The web formed on the first support may have a rectangular cross-section.

[0038] The web formed on the first support can be arranged in the region of an underside of the first support facing away from the horizontally extending support surface of the first support.

[0039] According to one embodiment of the warehouse, it can be provided that two or more first supports are positively attached to the second support. It can be provided that two first supports are arranged adjacent to one another and parallel to one another in the horizontal direction and are positively attached to the second support, wherein the first supports have a positive connection to one another in the region of a respective end section facing away from the second support in order to support the first supports against one another in a positively locking manner against rotation under load about the longitudinal axis of the respective first support, and wherein the first supports are coupled to one another by means of a locking plate which is hooked into each of the two first supports.

[0040] The locking plate can have two hooks spaced apart from each other, which engage in respective eyelets of the respective first supports.

[0055] Fig. 13 a first beam as a vertical support.

[0056] Figs. 1A and 1B show a first warehouse 2 according to the invention. The warehouse 2 has a support structure 4 forming a plurality of storage levels I - IV. It is understood that the warehouse 2 can also have additional storage levels in the vertical direction, extending beyond the exemplary storage levels I - IV.

[0057] The first storage level I is the storage level that has the smallest vertical distance to a floor B on which the warehouse 2 is mounted.

[0058] Between the first storage level I and floor B, an intermediate level 0 is provided for the temporary storage of goods. The intermediate level 0 is located closer to floor B in the vertical direction V than the first storage level I. Warehouse 2 is designed to accommodate containers or boxes for storing goods. The containers are, for example, plastic containers that can store goods weighing up to 50 kg per container.

[0059] The support structure 4 has a plurality of interconnected supports, wherein a first support 8 of the support structure 4 is positively attached to a second support 10 of the support structure 4 by means of hooking.

[0060] Fig. 2 shows the first support 8 and a portion of the second support 10 of the warehouse according to Fig. 1A and Fig. 1B individually in a perspective view. A longitudinal axis L1 of the first support 8 is oriented perpendicular to a longitudinal axis L2 of the second support 10.

[0061] The first support 8 has a vertical guide section 12 for lateral guidance of containers. The guide section 12 is arranged adjacent to a horizontal support surface 14 of the first support 8, which serves to accommodate containers 6. It is understood that, according to alternative embodiments, supports that do not have a vertical guide section can also be attached in the manner according to the invention.

[0062] In the present case, a first positive connection 16 is provided to positively secure the first support 8 to the second support 10 against rotation under load about the longitudinal axis L2 of the second support 10. Therefore, in the fully assembled state shown, the first positive connection 16 prevents rotation of the first support 8 about the longitudinal axis L2 in the direction of rotation R1. However, to disassemble the first support 8 from the second support 10, it is possible to pivot the first support 8 in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation R1.

[0063] In addition, a second positive connection 18 is provided to positively secure the first support 8 to the second support 10 against rotation under load about the longitudinal axis L1 of the first support 8. The second positive connection 18 therefore prevents rotation of the first support 8 about the longitudinal axis L1 in the opposite directions of rotation R2, R3. In other words, the second positive connection 18 blocks rotation of the first support 8 about its own longitudinal axis L1.

[0064] The first beam 8 is a horizontally extending cantilever with a freely projecting end 20.

[0065] In this case, the feature of a cantilever with a freely projecting end means that the beam in question is not directly connected to another beam of the supporting structure in the area of ​​the freely projecting end. This does not preclude the fact that the freely projecting end may be additionally secured, for example, by a tensioning cable, a tensioning belt, a metal strap, or a similar suspension.

[0066] The first support 8 has a shorter length LT1 than supports 22 of the storage levels I - IV extending parallel to the first support 8, wherein the supports 22 have a length LT2.

[0067] The first support 8 is part of the intermediate level 0 for the temporary storage of goods, whereby the intermediate level 0 has a lower storage capacity than the respective storage levels I - IV. As can be seen from Fig. 1, the intermediate level 0 only accommodates one container 6 in the longitudinal direction, while the storage levels I - IV accommodate three containers in the longitudinal direction.

[0068] The assembly process of the first support 8 on the second support 10 as well as the structural design of the positive connections 16, 18 are described in more detail below.

[0069] Fig. 3 shows a section of the first carrier 8 in a perspective view, wherein an end section 24 of the carrier 8 is shown, which is part of the positive connections 16, 18.

[0070] The first support 8 has two spaced-apart hook sections 26, which are part of the first positive connection 16. The first support 8 has a web 28, which is part of the second positive connection 18. The web 28 is formed on a vertical stiffening section 30 of the first support 8. The vertical stiffening section 30 is arranged adjacent to the horizontal support surface 14. The vertical stiffening section 30 and the vertical guide section 12 are arranged on opposite longitudinal sides of the horizontal support surface 14.

[0071] The vertical guide section 12 is arranged above the horizontal support surface 14. The vertical stiffening section 30 is arranged below the horizontal support surface 14.

[0072] The hook sections 26 are held on a horizontal section 32 of the horizontally extending support surface 14, which section spans the profile cross-section of the second support 10 in the fully assembled state. The horizontal section 32 of the horizontally extending support surface 14 of the first support 8 merges into a vertical section 34 on which the hook sections 26 are formed.

[0073] The first carrier 8 is a lasered and / or formed and / or folded and / or punched sheet metal component.

[0074] Fig. 4 shows the section of the second carrier 10 in a perspective view.

[0075] The second support 10 has two spaced-apart through-openings 36, which are part of the first positive connection 16. The through-openings 36 are formed in a profile wall 38 of the second support 10.

[0076] The through-openings 36 are provided for inserting the hook portions 26 into an interior space 40 of the second carrier 10. The through-openings 36 are arranged on a first side 42 of the second carrier 10.

[0077] Fig. 5 shows the section of the second support 10 in a further perspective view. The second support 10 has a receptacle 44 for receiving the web 28. The receptacle 44 is part of the second positive connection 18. The receptacle 44 is a through-opening. The receptacle 44 is arranged on a second side 46 of the second support 10, facing away from the first side 42 of the second support 10.

[0078] Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 show the fully assembled state of the first carrier 8 on the second carrier 10, wherein the first carrier 8 is held positively on the second carrier 10.

[0079] The hook sections 26 of the first support 8 are arranged within the interior space 40 of the second support 10. The hook sections 26 of the first support 8 bear against a side 48 of the profile wall 38 of the second support 10 facing the interior space 40 in order to positively secure the first support 8 to the second support 10 against rotation under load about the longitudinal axis L2 of the second support 10 (Fig. 6).

[0080] The web 28 of the first beam 8 is arranged within the receptacle 44 of the second beam 10. The receptacle 44 encloses the web 28 on two sides in order to positively secure the first beam 8 to the second beam 10 against rotation under load about the longitudinal axis L1 of the first beam 8.

[0081] The hook sections 26 each have a length LH measured perpendicular to the longitudinal axes L1, L2 of the first and second supports 8, 10, which is greater than a length LS of the through-opening 36 measured perpendicular to the longitudinal axes L1, L2 of the first and second supports 8, 10. The hook sections 26 each have a width BH measured parallel to the longitudinal axis L1 of the first support 8, which is smaller than the length LS of the through-opening 36.

[0082] The hook sections 26 each have a substantially arcuate section 50 and a substantially rectilinear section 52 adjacent to the profile wall 38. The through-openings 26 are slot-shaped, and the hook sections 26 have a smaller wall thickness than the width of the slots 26.

[0083] After the hook sections 26 have been inserted into the through openings 36 of the second carrier 10, the first carrier 8 can be positively fixed to the second carrier 10 by a pure pivoting movement.

[0084] The first carrier 8 has a recess 54 (Fig. 3), wherein a profile cross-section 56 of the second carrier 10 is arranged at least partially within the recess 54 of the first carrier 8 and the first carrier 8 rests on the second carrier 10 in the region of the recess 54.

[0085] The recess 54 is defined by a profile section 58 of the first support 8 opposite the first positive connection. The recess 54 is widened in the region of the profile section 58 toward the center of the first support 8 (Fig. 8). In this way, a distance is formed between the profile cross-section 56 of the second support 10 and the profile section 58 of the first support 8, increasing toward the center of the first support 8.

[0086] The assembly of the first carrier 8 to the second carrier is described below with reference to Fig. 9. First, the first carrier 8 is aligned with its longitudinal axis substantially vertically (A). The hook sections 26 of the first carrier are inserted through the through-openings 36 of the second carrier 10 into the interior 40 of the second carrier 10 (B). Subsequently, the first carrier 8 is pivoted (C) until the first carrier 8 is aligned with its longitudinal axis substantially horizontally and is positively fastened to the second carrier (D).

[0087] According to Fig. 10, two first supports 8 are arranged adjacent to one another and parallel to one another in the horizontal direction, and are positively fastened to the second support 10. The first supports 8 have a positive connection 62 to one another in the region of a respective end section 60 facing away from the second support 10, in order to support the first supports 8 against rotation under load about the respective longitudinal axes L1 of the respective first supports 8. The first supports 8 are coupled to one another by means of a locking plate 64, which is hooked into each of the two first supports 8 (Fig. 11). The locking plate 64 has two hooks 66 spaced apart from one another, which engage in respectively assigned eyelets 72 of the respective first supports 8 (Fig. 12).

[0088] Fig. 13 shows an example of a connection of a first support 68 to a second support 10, wherein the first support 68 is a vertically extending column. The first

[0089] Support 68 is also positively attached to the second support 10 by hanging, analogously to the first support 10.

[0090] The first beam 68 supports the second beam 10 to counteract deflection of the second beam 10 and rotation of the second beam 10 about its longitudinal axis L2, the first beam 68 being fixed to the ground B by a ground anchor 70.
