Abstract

A rotating device for receiving and handling goods or products, where the device has a number of holding devices designed for receiving storage devices, where the holding devices are rotatable about a central axis in the rotating device by a common drive arrangement, where at least one holding device with a received storage device is made available to an operator, while at least one other holding device is made available for receiving a storage device.

Claims (23)

1. A rotating device for receiving and handling goods and/or products, the device comprising:

a plurality of separate units that can be controlled independently,

wherein each separate unit comprises a storage device, a box-like holding device, a holding plate, and a vertically arranged frame,

wherein the box-like holding devices receives a corresponding storage device, wherein the box-like holding devices is connected to a corresponding holding plate and the corresponding holding plate is supported by the vertically arranged frame, which is connected to an associated elongated element,

wherein the elongated elements is connected to a central stem,

wherein a drive device is associated with a corresponding vertically arranged frame, each drive device is connected to a common drive arrangement that provides a rotation for each holding device about an axis of rotation extending in parallel to the stem,

wherein the holding plate of each holding devices is connected to the common drive arrangement by a chain-driven drive arrangement, permitting each holding device to rotate relative to the vertically arranged frame about a vertical axis extending through a center of the holding device.

2. The rotating device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotating device comprises at least two or more holding devices.

3. The rotating device according to claim 2 , wherein the holding device comprises at least one stop and sensor device mounted on an inside, for securing and confirming receipt of a storage device.

4. The rotating device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotating device is mounted in a framed structure in a work station.

5. The rotating device according to claim 4 , wherein the framed structure comprises a framework.

6. The rotating device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotating device comprises a control unit connected to the common drive arrangement.

7. The rotating device according to claim 1 , wherein the common drive arrangement comprises at least one electromotor connected to a gearwheel.

8. The rotating device according to claim 1 , wherein the holding devices are arranged to be moved independently of one another.

9. The rotating device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises a transverse beam which supports the holding frame.

10. A workstation apparatus for receiving and handling goods and/or products, the workstation apparatus comprising:

a working surface comprising:

a plurality of separate units that can be controlled independently,

wherein each separate unit comprises a storage device, a box-like holding device, a holding plate, and a vertically arranged frame,

wherein the box-like holding devices receives a corresponding storage device, wherein the box-like holding devices is connected to a corresponding holding plate and the corresponding holding plate is supported by the vertically arranged frame, which is connected to an associated elongated element,

wherein the elongated elements is connected to a central stem,

wherein a drive device is associated with a corresponding vertically arranged frame, each drive device is connected to a common drive arrangement that provides a rotation for each holding device about an axis of rotation extending in parallel to the stem,

wherein the holding plate of each holding devices is connected to the common drive arrangement by a chain-driven drive arrangement, permitting each holding devices to rotate relative to the vertically arranged frame about a vertical axis extending through a center of the holding device.
