The storage areas and the raised and lowered base frame of the goods transport device are equipped with mounting rails along which the goods receiving media run. The base frame may be equipped with an insertion and removal device by means of which the goods receiving carrier between a storage area and the goods transport device can be moved.
According to EP 1 972 577 B1, the automated storage system for hanging garments comprises a conveyor system, a storage and retrieval unit, storage shelves and a transfer station, wherein the hanging goods are transferred from the conveyor to storage rods or delivered from the storage rods in the transfer station, wherein the storage and retrieval unit is formed, to take empty or full storage poles from the transfer station or to deliver to the transfer station. The storage and retrieval unit also has gripping units, by means of which the storage rod can be fixed on the transport from the transfer station to the storage rack. EP 2 130 789 B1 additionally provides an intermediate receptacle for an empty storage bar below the gripping units and a storage receptacle for an empty storage bar in the storage rack.
In DE 10 2008 035 651 A1, an automated storage system is described, which instead of storage poles used goods receiving carrier comprising on a bottom suspension recordings, to which the hanging garments can be suspended.
From DE 10 2008 018 310 A1 a method for operating a high-bay warehouse for hanging garments is known, which comprises the steps:
Hanging of hanging garments on a loose storage bar in a goods receipt, transfer of the suspended storage bar to a rack storage operating device,
Storing the suspended storage bar in a free storage area of a storage rack,
Outsourcing of the suspended storage bar from the storage rack to the stacker crane, taking over the suspended storage bar from the storage and retrieval unit, and hanging the hanging goods from the storage rack,
Transport the empty storage bar into a buffer store.
The known from the prior art storage systems are very expensive, since a variety of storage rods or goods receiving media are used, which must be manipulated together with the hanging goods. The storage and retrieval machines and the storage areas are to be equipped with appropriate fixing means, which fix the storage rods or goods receiving carrier again after each change.
The present invention has for its object to provide a method for storing hanging garments and an automated storage device with which ^) a high throughput can be achieved and can be compared to the prior art easier to operate.
The object of the invention is achieved in that the hanging garments are moved by means of the goods transfer means between a goods receiving carrier associated with the storage area and a goods receiving carrier associated with the goods transport device, wherein the goods receiving carriers remain in the storage areas in the storage rack. According to the invention, the hanging goods between the goods receiving carriers of the storage area and the goods transport device is manipulated. In this case, the hanging garments can either be moved relative to the goods receiving media or raised / lowered relative to the goods receiving media. The hanger serves with its hook not only to hang the hanging goods, but also the transport. It makes the manipulation effort of hanging garments compared to the known from the prior art storage systems much easier. In addition, a single access to the hanging goods is now possible. In other words, packing or picking orders can be processed very efficiently, since only the number of hanging goods in which they are needed can be outsourced to a packing or picking order. According to the state of the art, a storage rod with a large number of hanging garments must be stored for each packing or picking order, even if only a fraction of it is required. Thus, overall a much more efficient storage system can be created. In addition, additional fixative in the storage area are not required, which also allows a compact and inexpensive construction of the storage shelves can be realized.
It is also advantageous if the hanging garments are taken before storage in the storage rack at a transfer station of a goods receiving carrier and delivered after the removal from the storage rack at a transfer station on a goods receiving carrier, and that the hanging goods in the acquisition and / or transfer by means of Goods movement means between the goods transport means associated with the goods transport device and the transfer and / or transfer station associated goods receiving carrier is moved, wherein the goods receiving carrier at the transfer and / or transfer station in the transfer and / or transfer station remains. The transfer station and transfer station can be arranged on either side of the goods transport device or form a combined transfer and transfer station, which is arranged on one side of the goods transport device. The hanging goods are manipulated between the goods receiving carriers of the goods transport device and the transfer or transfer station. In this case, the hanging garments can either be moved relative to the goods receiving media or raised / lowered relative to the goods receiving media.
It makes the manipulation effort of hanging garments compared to the known from the prior art storage systems much easier.
It proves to be particularly advantageous if a direction of movement of the hanging goods on the takeover and / or transfer movement between the goods receiving media is parallel to the second direction (z-direction). The hanging goods runs both on the acquisition and / or transfer movement between the goods receiving carrier of the goods transport device and one of the goods receiving carrier of the storage rack and between the goods receiving carrier of the goods transport device and one of the goods receiving the transfer or transfer station parallel to the second direction (z-direction).
This favors a simple construction of a goods transfer means for manipulating the hanging garments.
It is also advantageous if the hanging garments each define a hanging plane on the goods receiving carriers, which run in a direction perpendicular to the goods receiving carriers. The hanging goods is thus aligned in the x direction. Thus, the driving resistance can be reduced when the hanging goods is moved with the goods transport device in the x direction. This is mainly because an air flow is possible between the hanging goods. The at least one goods transport device can thus be operated even more dynamically in the x-direction and the system performance can be increased.
According to one measure of the invention, it is provided that the hanging garments are each stored and transported hanging over a hanger on the goods receiving media, wherein the goods transfer means by means of a gripping unit, which is mounted on the goods displacement means, at least one hanger and can move the hanging goods between the goods receiving media. The gripping unit grips the hanger, in particular a hook of the hanger to avoid damage to the hanging garments. If only individual hanging garments are to be taken from a hanging garment group, then the gripping unit can be used to access the foremost hanging garments.
If correspondingly high capacities are required and if a packing or picking order comprises a large number of similar hanging goods, the goods movement means can grasp a plurality of clothes hangers by means of the gripping unit and move the hanging goods as a pair of hanging goods between the goods receiving carriers.
According to another measure of the invention, it is provided that the hanging garments are each stored and transported hanging on a clothes hanger on the goods receiving media, wherein the goods transfer means, each with a gripping unit, said gripping units are mounted on the goods displacement means, each takes a hanger and separates the hanging garments can see between the goods receiving media move. Although the hanging garments are handled as a hanging garment group, the hanging garments are transported at a defined distance from each other on the goods receiving carrier, which in turn favors the air circulation between the hanging garments.
If the hanging garments are stored in the respective storage area on a goods receiving carrier as separated hanging garment groups, a large number of hanging garments can be stored in a storage rack on the existing storage volume and the goods transport device can be used particularly efficiently.
A particularly high storage performance and / or removal performance is achieved when the hanging goods between the storage area and the goods transport device or between the transfer and / or transfer station and the goods transport device and on the goods transport device are transported as a hanging garment group.
The object of the invention is further achieved in that the storage areas and the goods transport device is associated with a goods receiving carrier, and that the goods transfer means moves the hanging goods between one of the goods receiving carrier for the storage areas and the goods receiving carrier for the goods transport device, wherein the goods receiving carrier in the storage areas in the storage rack remain.

During the storage movement (arrow 20) of the goods 2, the hangers 4 slide on the goods receiving carrier 34 of the goods transport device 7 and the goods receiving carrier 12 of the storage rack 5, as will be described below.
In FIGS. 15, 16, the goods receiving carrier 34 or the lifting bar is in a second transfer position. In the transfer position, the gap distance between the front edge 50 of the goods receiving carrier 12 and the end edge 51 of the goods receiving medium 34 is bridged. In this case, the goods receiving carrier 34 and the lifting bar is raised relative to the height position in the basic position. A horizontal receiving plane 48 on the goods receiving carrier 34 extends in the second transfer position below the storage level 13 and the goods receiving carrier 34 projects beyond the front edge 50 of the goods receiving carrier 12 in the z direction and the goods receiving carrier 34 is supported on the goods receiving carrier 12 on a support leg 49, as in Fig. 16 shown in detail. For a reliable displacement of the product 2 on the removal movement (arrow 20) is possible. During the removal movement of the goods 2, the hangers 4 slide on the goods receiving carrier 12 of the storage rack 5 and the goods receiving carrier 34 of the goods transport device 7, as will be described below.
The insertion and removal device 33, as shown in FIGS. 4, 6 and 14 is formed according to this embodiment by a arranged on the base frame 30 and extendable from a starting position in both z-directions Te-leskopiereinheit, so in the two Pages of the goods transport device 7 arranged storage shelves 5 goods 2 stored or goods 2 can be outsourced.
The telescoping unit has a support frame 57 and relative to the support frame 57 horizontally in the z-direction extendable or retractable rails 58, 59, 60 on.
The first rail 58 is displaceably mounted on the support frame 57 via a guide arrangement 61 and the second rail 59 is displaceably mounted on the first rail 40 via a guide arrangement 62 and the third rail 60 is displaceably mounted on the second rail 59 via a guide arrangement 63. The first rail 58 can be moved relative to the support frame 57 with a drive device mounted on the support frame 57. The drive device comprises a first drive means 64, in particular a traction mechanism drive and a second drive means 65, in particular a toothed rack arrangement. The first drive means 64 and second drive means 65 are in drive connection. The traction mechanism drive comprises at least one driven, endlessly circulating traction means, which are guided around deflecting wheels and a drive wheel coupled to a drive motor 66. The traction means is formed for example by a toothed belt, a chain or the like. The drive motor 66 is preferably formed by an electric motor. By rotational movement of the drive wheel, the first rail 40 is extended depending on the direction of rotation either in the direction of a first z-direction or in the direction of a second z-direction.
For example, as indicated in FIG. 8, a first belt 67 is deflected about a first (first) roller mounted on the first rail 58 and secured to the support frame 57 at its first end and to the second rail 59 at its second end. A second belt 68 is deflected about a (second) rear roller mounted on the first rail 58 and fixed at its first end to the support frame 57 and at its second end to the second rail 59. If the first rail 58 is moved by the drive device, then the second rail 59 is also moved via the belts 67, 68, ie either on or extended.
Further, a first belt 69 is deflected about a (front) first roller mounted on the second rail 58 and fixed at its first end to the first rail 58 and at its second end to the third rail 60. A second belt 70 is deflected about a second (second) roller mounted on the second rail 58 and fixed at its first end to the first rail 58 and at its second end to the third rail 60. Thus, with the movement of the second rail 59, the third rail 60 can also be moved over the belts 69, 70, ie either on or extended.
The third rail 60 includes outer / inner driving members 71 for moving goods 2 between the goods receiving carriers 12, 34 or the goods receiving carriers 16, 34. The outer driving members 71 are in the opposite end portions of the third rail 60 and the inner driving members 71 are between the outer entrainment members 71 are arranged, each entraining member 71 with the third rail 60 fixed (immovable) is connected. The inner entrainment members 71 may form in the end region inclined engaging surfaces 72, as shown in Fig. 5, which allow a separation of closely spaced hangers 4. The telescoping unit forms the goods displacement means 42. The outer / inner entrainment members 71 form gripping units.
The loading and unloading device 33 or the telescoping unit is coupled to an adjusting device, by means of which the loading and unloading device 33 or the telescoping unit in the x-direction between a basic position (FIGS. 6, 7, 8) and an actuating position (FIG. 9) can be adjusted. In the basic position, the outer / inner entrainment members 71 are moved out of the path of movement of the goods 2, in particular the clothes hanger 4. In the actuated position, the outer / inner entrainment members 71 are moved into the path of movement of the goods 2, in particular the clothes hanger 4, so that the outer / inner entrainment members 71 engage behind the hangers 4 of the product 2. In other words, the outer / inner entraining members 71 and the gripping units can be adjusted relative to the goods receiving carrier 34 in the x-direction.
According to the exemplary embodiment shown, the adjusting device (FIGS. 2, 6, 7) comprises a traction mechanism drive mounted on the base frame 30 and coupled to the supporting frame 57. The support frame 57 is mounted with its opposite end portions of guides 73. The guides 73 extend in the x direction and are fastened to the base frame 30. The traction mechanism comprises synchronously driven, endlessly circulating traction means 74, wherein a first traction means is guided around a deflection wheel mounted on the base frame 30 and a drive wheel mounted on the base frame 30 and wherein a second traction means is guided around deflecting wheels mounted on the base frame 30. The deflecting wheel for the first traction means 74 and one of the deflecting wheels for the second traction means 74 are connected to each other via a drive shaft 75. The traction means is formed for example by a toothed belt, a chain or the like. The drive wheel is connected to a drive motor 76.
According to another embodiment not shown, mounted on the third rail 60 outer / inner driving members 71 can each be coupled to an electric drive motor, via which the outer / inner driving members 71 are pivotable between a starting position and operating position. In this case, the adjustment can be omitted. In the starting position, the outer / inner entrainment members 71 are moved out of the path of movement of the goods 2. In the actuated position, the outer / inner entrainment members 71 are moved into the path of movement of the goods 2, so that the outer / inner entrainment members 71 engage behind the hangers 4 of the product 2.
In Fig. 17, the goods transport device 7 is shown schematically. As can be seen, the goods transport device 7 can additionally be equipped with a goods transport safety device which keeps the goods 2 suspended on the goods receiving carrier 34 via hangers 4 during movement travel of the goods transport device 7 substantially parallel to the flat plane 77. Thus, during the movement travel of the goods transport device 7, a rotation of the goods 2 relative to the goods receiving carrier 34 can be limited or avoided.
The goods transport protection comprises arranged on the opposite longitudinal sides of the goods transport device 7 and fixed to the base frame 30 merchandise security means 79, each one over a actuator 80 between a basic position (as shown in dotted lines) and a securing position (as registered in solid lines) adjustable securing fingers 81st exhibit. For this purpose, the securing fingers 81 are mounted, for example, so as to be pivotable on a holding arm 82 about an axis of rotation running in the z-direction. The actuator 80 includes a drive motor, in particular an electric motor, which is also mounted on the support arm 82 and is coupled to the securing finger 81. An actuating plane of the securing fingers 81 runs parallel to the hanging plane 77.
In the basic position, the securing fingers 81 are moved out of the movement path of the goods 2 running in the z-direction. In the securing position, the securing fingers 81 are moved into the movement path of the goods 2 running in the z-direction, so that the securing fingers 81 grip behind either the hangers 4 or the goods 2. If goods 2 are conveyed between the goods transport device 7 and the storage rack 5 or the goods transport device 7 and the transfer or transfer station 14, 15, then the securing fingers 81 are moved to the basic position beforehand.
Although in FIG. 17 the merchandise securing means 79 are arranged immovably on the base frame 30, it is just as possible for the merchandise securing means 79 to be adjustable relative to one another in the z direction, as indicated in FIG. 17 in dashed lines. This is particularly advantageous if on the goods receiving carrier 34 less goods 2 hang than could be recorded and these goods 2 still need to be reliably secured against rotation during movement travel. In principle, it is also possible that the goods 2, which are suspended on the clothes hanger 4 on the goods receiving carrier 34, between the securing fingers 81 (slightly) are compressed. Also, the goods 2 can be pre-positioned, for example, prior to storage on the longitudinal side of the goods transport device 7, which is adjacent to the storage space in which the goods 2 are to be stored.
The following describes a storage process and removal process.
Inlet fan (see Figures 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16)
The goods 2 to be stored are conveyed to the goods receiving carrier 25 of the first conveyor 26 to the vertical conveyor 18. There, the product 2 is conveyed from the goods receiving carrier 25 of the first conveyor 26 to the goods receiving carrier 23 on the vertical conveyor 18. The conveying movement of the product 2 between the goods receiving carriers 23, 25 can take place via the goods transfer device 24. Thereafter, the lifting frame 22 is moved vertically with the goods receiving carrier 23 at the level of one of the storage levels 13 and the goods 2 from the goods receiving carrier 23 of the vertical conveyor 18 on the goods receiving carrier 16 of the transfer station 14 (buffer) promoted. The conveying movement of the product 2 between the goods receiving media 16, 23 can suc conditions on the goods transfer device 24th Thereafter, the goods receiving carrier 16 of the transfer station 14 is moved from a receiving position into a transfer position. In the transfer position now those goods transport device 7, which is associated with the storage level 13, in which the goods 2 are to be stored at a storage location, pick up the goods 2 from the transfer station 14.
For this purpose, the goods transporting device 7 is positioned in the x-direction in front of the goods receiving carrier 16 and the goods receiving carrier 34 (lifting bar) of the goods transporting device 7 is moved from a basic position (FIG. 11) into the second transfer position (FIG. 16). The horizontal receiving plane 48 on the goods receiving carrier 34 extends in the second transfer position below a transfer plane (which corresponds to the storage level 13) and the goods receiving carrier 34 projects beyond the front edge 50 of the goods receiving carrier 16 in the z direction and is supported on the goods receiving carrier 16, in particular the support leg 49th (as mutatis mutandis, shown on the goods receiving carrier 12 in the storage rack 5 in Fig. 16).
If the goods receiving carrier 34 (lifting bar) of the goods transport device 7 has been moved into the second transfer position (FIG. 16), the goods transfer device 42 is extended from a starting position laterally next to the goods receiving carrier 34 in the z direction. Thereafter, the goods transfer means 42 is moved in the x-direction relative to the goods receiving carrier 16 from the basic position to the operating position in which the driving members 71 engage behind the hangers 4. In this case, between successive entrainment members 71 only a single hanger 4 (for example, in winter coats) or more hanger 4 (for example, in summer dresses) are added.
If now the goods transfer means 42 is retracted in the z-direction to the starting position, the goods 2 are conveyed by means of the entrainment members 71 from the goods receiving carrier 16 onto the goods receiving carrier 34. The hangers 4 slide with their hooks along the goods receiving carrier 16 and the goods receiving carrier 34. Thereafter, the goods receiving carrier 34 (lifting bar) of the goods transport device 7 is moved back to the normal position.
Were the goods 2 taken on the goods transport device 7, this can be moved in the x direction to a defined storage space and positioned in front of a goods receiving carrier 12.
Thereafter, the goods receiving carrier 34 (lifting bar) of the goods transport device 7 from a basic position (Fig. 11) in the first transfer position (Fig. 13) adjusted. In the first transfer position, a horizontal receiving plane 48 extends on the goods receiving carrier 34 above the storage level 13 and the goods receiving carrier 34 projects beyond the front edge 50 of the goods receiving carrier 12 in the z direction and is supported on the goods receiving carrier 12, in particular the support leg 49.
Subsequently, the storage and retrieval device 33 and the displacement means 42 in the x-direction from a basic position (Fig. 6, 7, 8) adjusted in an operating position. In the operating position, the outer / inner driving members 71 are moved into the path of movement of the goods 2, so that the outer / inner driving members 71 engage behind the hangers 4 and the hooks.
Now, if the goods transfer means 42 is extended from a starting position laterally next to the goods receiving carrier 34 in the z direction, the goods 4 are promoted by means of the entrainment 71 from the goods receiving carrier 34 on the goods receiving carrier 12. The hangers 4 slide with their hooks along the goods receiving carrier 34 and the goods receiving carrier 12th
Are the goods 2 in the storage rack 5, the storage and retrieval device 33 and the displacement means 42 in the x direction from an operating position to a basic position (Fig. 6, 7, 8) adjusted. Thereafter, the storage and retrieval device 33 and the displacement means 42 can be retracted in the z direction in the starting position and the goods receiving carrier 34 (lifting bar) are moved to the normal position.
As can be seen in the figures, during the storage process, the goods 2 can be conveyed and stored as a hanging garment group 109 (FIG. 14). The hanging garment group 109 may comprise up to forty goods 2. In this case, one and the same goods 2 are contained within a pair of hanging goods 109. In other words, a hanging garment group 109 are respectively provided on the goods receiving carriers 16 of the transfer station 14, and a hanging garment group 109 is received on the goods receiving carrier 34 of the goods transporting device 7, respectively, and one hanging garment group 109 is stored on the goods receiving carrier 12 of the storage rack 5. Preferably, the goods receiving carrier 12 can store two hanging garment groups 109 in the z-direction in the storage rack 5, as can be seen in FIG.
In principle, it is also possible that the goods 2 are promoted and stored isolated. This is the case if, after a picking process from a pair of hanging goods 109, only one product 2 (remaining product) remains, which in turn is to be stored in the storage rack 5.
Auslaaervoraanq (see Fig. 11, 15, 16)
For this purpose, the goods transport device 7 is positioned in front of one of the goods receiving carriers 12 in the x direction and the goods receiving carrier 34 (lifting bar) of the goods transport device 7 is moved from a basic position (FIG. 11) into the second transfer position (FIG. 16), as described above.
Thereafter, the goods transfer means 42 is extended from a starting position laterally next to the goods receiving carrier 12 in the z direction. Thereafter, the goods transfer means 42 is moved in the x-direction relative to the goods receiving carrier 12 from the basic position to the operating position in which the driving members 71 engage behind the hangers 4. In this case, between successive entrainment members 71 only a single hanger 4 (for example, in winter coats) or more hanger 4 (for example, in summer dresses) are added.
Now, if the goods transfer means 42 is retracted in the z direction in the starting position, the goods 2 are conveyed by means of the entrainment members 71 from the goods receiving carrier 12 to the goods receiving carrier 34. The hangers 4 slide with their hooks along the goods receiving carrier 12 and the
Goods receiving carrier 34. Is the goods 2 on the goods receiving carrier 34 (lifting bar), this is moved back to the normal position.
After the goods 2 have been taken on the goods transport device 7, this can be moved in the x-direction to the transfer station 15 and positioned in front of a goods receiving carrier 16.
Thereafter, the goods receiving carrier 34 (lifting bar) of the goods transport device 7 from a basic position (Fig. 11) in the first transfer position (Fig. 13) adjusted. In the first transfer position, a horizontal receiving plane 48 extends on the goods receiving carrier 34 above a transfer plane (which corresponds to the storage level 13) and the goods receiving carrier 34 projects beyond the front edge 50 of the goods receiving carrier 12 in the z direction and supports the goods receiving carrier 34 on the goods receiving carrier 12, in particular the support leg 49 from (as mutatis mutandis, shown on the goods receiving carrier 12 in the storage rack 5 in Fig. 13).
Subsequently, the goods to be outsourced 2 are transferred from the goods transport device 7 to the transfer station 15. The goods 2 are conveyed by the goods transfer means 42 from the goods receiving carrier 34 (lifting bar) on the goods receiving carrier 12 in the z direction.
Were the auszulagernden goods 2 on a goods receiving carrier 16 of the transfer station 14, this is adjusted from a takeover position to a delivery position. Thereafter, the goods 2 are conveyed away by means of the goods transfer device 24 from the goods receiving carrier 16 to the goods receiving carrier 23 of the vertical conveyor 18. Thereafter, the lifting frame 22 is adjusted vertically with the goods receiving carrier 23 at the level of a conveyor technology level and the goods 2 from the goods receiving carrier 23 of the vertical conveyor 18 on the goods receiving carrier 25 of the second conveyor 27 promoted. The conveying movement of the product 2 between the goods receiving carriers 23, 25 can take place via the goods transfer device 24. The second conveyor 27 conveys the goods 2 to a picking workstation or a packing workstation.
As can be seen in the figures, the goods 2 can be promoted as a hanging garment group 109 and stored during the removal process.
In principle, it is also possible that the goods 2 are promoted and stored isolated. This is the case if only one single product 2 is required for a picking / packing operation from a pair of hanging goods 109.
In the jointly described Figs. 18 to 21, a second embodiment of an automated storage system 83 for storing hanging goods 2 is shown. Likewise, the storage system 83 comprises an automated goods distribution system 84.

The goods transport devices 88 are used to store the goods 2 in the storage rack 5 or outsourcing The goods 2 from the storage rack 5. Usually, such a storage system is provided in each driving plane 6 with a goods transport device 88. However, fewer goods transport devices 88 than driving levels 6 may be present, in which case the goods transport devices 88 can be implemented by means of a lifting device, not shown, between the driving planes 6.
The storage racks 5 comprise vertical front rack 8, vertical rear rack 9, front longitudinal beams 10, rear longitudinal beams 11 and goods receiving carrier 89. The front longitudinal beams 10 each extend horizontally in the x-direction and are fixed to the front uprights 8, which in pairs opposite front longitudinal beams 10 each form a driving plane 6, along which the goods transport device 88 is moved. The front longitudinal beams 10 thus form each driving plane 6 guide rails for the goods transport device 7. The rear longitudinal beams 11 extend horizontally in the x direction and are attached to the rear uprights 9. The storage racks 5 further comprise in the superimposed storage levels 13 horizontally in the z-direction and with mutually spaced guide rails 90, wherein each goods receiving carrier 89, a first guide rail 90 and a second guide rails 90 are provided.

The actuator comprises a via a drive motor (not shown) about a vertical axis rotatable mounting plate on which the guide rails 90 and the at least one goods receiving carrier 91 are mounted.
The goods receiving carrier 91 of the transfer or transfer station 85, 86 is designed according to the embodiment shown as the goods receiving carrier 89 of the storage rack 5.
The vertical conveyor 87 connects the storage levels 13 with at least one conveyor level and is arranged on the outer longitudinal side of the storage shelves 5. The vertical conveyors 18 each comprise a guide frame 92, a lifting and lowering lifting frame 93, at least one goods receiving carrier 94 and a goods transfer device 95 (self-propelled transfer vehicle). The at least one goods receiving carrier 94 is arranged on the lifting frame 93 and extends parallel to the x-direction. The goods receiving carrier 94 of the vertical conveyor 87 is designed according to the embodiment shown as the goods receiving carrier 89 of the storage rack 5. The product 2 can be conveyed by means of the goods transfer device 95 between the transfer or transfer station 85, 86 and the vertical conveyor 87. The lifting frame 93 is provided with guide rails 96, so that the goods transfer device 95 along the guide rails 90, 96 between the transfer or transfer station 85, 86 and the vertical conveyor 87 is movable. The goods transfer device 95 is designed according to the embodiment shown as a self-propelled transfer vehicle (Einlagerfahrzeug) in the transfer station 85 and self-propelled Umlagerfahrzeug (Auslagerfahrzeug) in the transfer station 86, wherein the transfer vehicle relative to the vertical conveyor 87 and transfer station 85, 86 in the x- Direction are movable. The transfer vehicle comprises a base frame, rollers, a traction drive and the goods receiving carrier 78. Also, the rearrangement vehicle may have an energy storage to supply the traction drive and an even closer to described adjusting device for the goods receiving medium 97 and an electronic control system with energy. The rollers are arranged on the two longitudinal sides of the base frame. The transfer vehicle can move on the guide rails 90, 96 via the rollers between the vertical conveyor 87 and the transfer station 85, 86.
The goods receiving carrier 78 is arranged on the rearrangement vehicle and mounted via an adjusting device in the y-direction and z-direction (or only in the y-direction) adjustable on the base frame. The transfer vehicle (storage vehicle), which is assigned to the in-store vertical conveyor 87, and the transfer vehicle (removal vehicle), which is assigned to the outfeed vertical conveyor 87, is preferably identical to the storage and retrieval vehicle associated with the goods transport device 88. In particular, the same adjusting device can be used for the goods receiving carrier. The same applies to the traction drive.
The first vertical conveyor 87 connects to a first conveyor for transporting goods 2 and the second vertical conveyor 87 connects to a second conveyor for transporting goods 2 at. The first conveyor and second conveyor are preferably operated automatically.
In FIGS. 18 and 19a, one of the drive levels 6, the goods transport device 88 and storage bins, each with a goods receiving carrier 89 are shown.
The goods transport device 88 is formed according to this embodiment by a Einbenenregalbediengerät and has a base frame 30, wheels 31 and a drive 32 (not shown in detail) on. The wheels 31 are arranged on the two longitudinal sides of the base frame 30. The travel drive 32 may correspond to the embodiment described above.

FIGS. 22 and 23 show a goods transporting device 110 which has a base frame 30, running wheels 31, a traveling drive 32, an infeed and outfeed device 111 and a goods receiving carrier 34.
The storage and retrieval device 111 is according to this embodiment by a arranged on the base frame 30 and extendable from a starting position for both z-directions telescopic unit, so stored in the arranged on both sides of the goods transport device 110 storage shelves 5 goods 2 or goods 2 are outsourced can. The telescoping unit has a support frame 57 and relative to the support frame 57 horizontally in the z-direction extendable or retractable rails 58, 59, 60, as described above.
In contrast to the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the third rail 60 of the telescoping unit is equipped with a traction mechanism drive. The traction mechanism drive comprises a traction mechanism 112, which is guided around deflecting wheels mounted in the opposite end regions of the third carriage 60. One of the deflecting wheels 113 is coupled to a drive motor 114. The traction means 112 is formed for example by a toothed belt, a chain or the like. The drive motor 114 is preferably formed by an electric motor. The traction means 112 is provided with projecting on the outer circumference and at uniform intervals arranged entrainment members 115. The entrainment members 115 are firmly connected to the traction means 112. In this case, between successive entrainment members 115 only a single hanger 4 (for example, in winter coats) or more hanger 4 (for example, in summer dresses) are added. The telescoping unit with the traction mechanism drive on the third rail 60 forms a displacement means 116. The entrainment members 115 form a gripping unit.
