Abstract

A device ( 1 ) for handling of conveyed goods ( 2 ) within a barrier system ( 3 ), comprising a manipulator ( 4 ) arranged in the barrier system ( 3 ) and having a magnetic actuator ( 5 ) for applying a magnetic force ( 6 ) to the conveyed goods ( 2 ), having a design-dependent magnetic acting direction ( 6 ) of the magnetic force ( 7 ), wherein the manipulator ( 4 ) is arranged inside the barrier system ( 3 ) and is adapted to coupling the conveyed goods ( 2 ) with the magnetic force ( 7 ) to the manipulator ( 4 ) and moving them with the manipulator ( 4 ) within the barrier system ( 3 ).

Claims (15)

1 . A device ( 1 ) for handling of conveyed goods ( 2 ) within a barrier system ( 3 ), comprising a manipulator ( 4 ) arranged in the barrier system ( 3 ) and having a magnetic actuator ( 5 ) for applying a magnetic force ( 6 ) to the conveyed goods ( 2 ), having a design-dependent magnetic acting direction ( 6 ) of the magnetic force ( 7 ), wherein the manipulator ( 4 ) is arranged inside the barrier system ( 3 ) and is configured for coupling the conveyed goods ( 2 ) with the magnetic force ( 7 ) to the manipulator ( 4 ) and moving the conveyed goods ( 2 ) with the manipulator ( 4 ) within the barrier system ( 3 ).

2 . The device ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic actuator ( 5 ) comprises at least one electromagnet.

3 . The device ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the manipulator ( 4 ) is configured for moving the conveyed goods ( 2 ) with a direction of movement ( 8 ) having at least one direction component parallel to the magnetic acting direction ( 6 ) of the magnetic force ( 7 ).

4 . The device ( 1 ) according to claim 3 , wherein the magnetic acting direction ( 6 ) of the magnetic force ( 7 ) and the direction of movement ( 8 ) of the conveyed goods ( 2 ) run in parallel.

5 . The device ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the conveyed goods ( 2 ) comprise a material with magnetic properties.

6 . The device ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the conveyed goods ( 2 ) are a transport container ( 9 ) for a material.

7 . The device ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic actuator ( 5 ) is arranged on a manipulator head ( 10 ), which can turn about an axis of rotation ( 11 ) oriented parallel to the magnetic acting direction ( 6 ).

8 . The device ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the conveyed goods comprise a coupling element ( 12 ) having magnetic properties.

9 . The device ( 1 ) according to claim 8 , wherein the coupling element ( 12 ) and the magnetic actuator ( 5 ) have respectively at least one north pole magnetic element ( 13 ) and at least one south pole magnetic element ( 14 ), wherein the magnetic actuator ( 5 ) can be brought into a first orientation ( 15 ) or a second orientation ( 16 ) relative to the coupling element ( 12 ), wherein the magnetic elements ( 13 , 14 ) in a first orientation ( 15 ) interact such that an attracting magnetic force ( 7 ) is created from the magnetic actuator ( 5 ) to the coupling element ( 12 ) and wherein the magnetic elements ( 13 , 14 ) in a second orientation ( 15 ) interact such that a repelling magnetic force ( 7 ) is created from the magnetic actuator ( 5 ) to the coupling element ( 12 ).

10 . The device ( 1 ) according to claim 9 , wherein a third orientation ( 23 ) is also provided in addition to the first orientation ( 15 ) and the second orientation ( 16 ), in which both attracting magnetic forces ( 7 ) and repelling magnetic forces ( 7 ) interact such that no resulting force from the magnetic actuator ( 5 ) impinges on the coupling element ( 12 ).

11 . The device ( 1 ) according to claim 9 , wherein north pole magnetic elements ( 13 ) and south pole magnetic elements ( 14 ) are arranged in alternation on a track ( 17 ) circulating about an axis of rotation ( 11 ) of the magnetic actuator ( 5 ), so that a first orientation or a second orientation of the magnetic actuator ( 5 ) relative to the coupling element can be produced by a turning of the magnetic actuator ( 5 ) about the axis of rotation.

12 . The device ( 1 ) according to claim 10 , wherein north pole magnetic elements ( 13 ) and south pole magnetic elements ( 14 ) are arranged in alternation on a track ( 17 ) circulating about an axis of rotation ( 11 ) of the magnetic actuator ( 5 ), so that a first orientation or a second orientation of the magnetic actuator ( 5 ) relative to the coupling element can be produced by a turning of the magnetic actuator ( 5 ) about the axis of rotation.

13 . The device ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the manipulator ( 4 ) is arranged in the barrier system ( 3 ) lying opposite a docking port ( 18 ), wherein a transfer device ( 19 ) for the transport of the conveyed goods ( 2 ) to the barrier system ( 3 ) can be placed against the docking port ( 18 ) and the docking port ( 18 ) is adapted to form an outwardly sealed passageway ( 20 ) from the transfer device ( 19 ) to the barrier system ( 3 ), while the conveyed goods ( 2 ) can be transported with the magnetic actuator ( 5 ) from the transfer device ( 19 ) through the passageway ( 20 ) to the docking port ( 18 ) and the barrier system ( 3 ).

14 . The device ( 1 ) according to claim 13 , wherein the docking port ( 18 ) comprises a first door ( 21 ), which closes the docking port ( 18 ), and wherein the transfer device ( 19 ) comprises a second door ( 22 ), which closes the transfer device ( 19 ), while the docking port ( 18 ) is adapted to interact with the transfer device ( 19 ) such that the first door ( 21 ) and the second door ( 22 ) are opened when the outwardly sealed passageway ( 20 ) is established from the transfer device ( 19 ) to the docking port ( 18 ) and the barrier system ( 3 ).

15 . A barrier system ( 3 ), comprising at least one device ( 1 ) for handling of conveyed) goods ( 2 ) within the barrier system ( 3 ) according to claim 1 .
