Device and method for storing items using a rack
A device for storing items having a rack that is provided with storage compartments, and having a rack serving apparatus. In order to place items into storage and to remove them from storage, the rack serving apparatus and the rack can move horizontally and vertically relative to one another, with the rack having a variable adjustment of the storage compartments by way of storage compartment divisions that can be variably set both in the horizontal and also in the vertical direction and bear the item.
1. A device for storing items, comprising:
a rack, the rack configured to be provided with adjustable storage compartments; and
a rack serving apparatus;
wherein the rack serving apparatus and the rack are moveable horizontally and vertically relative to one another in order to place items into storage and to remove items from storage, wherein the rack comprises settable storage compartment divisions that form the storage compartments and are configured to be variably positioned both in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction and bear items to provide a variable adjustment of the storage compartments, wherein the settable storage compartment divisions are formed as elongate pin members; and
wherein the rack comprises a fastening matrix disposed on a rear wall side of the rack extending over a width and a height of the rack and to which the settable storage compartment divisions are selectively fixed to form the storage compartments; and
wherein the settable storage compartment divisions are fixed to the fastening matrix by a horizontally and vertically positionable storage compartment division setter during placement of items into storage, and wherein the storage compartment division setter is part of the rack serving apparatus; and
wherein the settable storage compartment divisions are positioned and fixed to the fastening matrix according to a particular item that is to be stored when the particular item is being placed into storage, and according to another item that is below the particular item and/or laterally of the particular item.
2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rack serving apparatus comprises a height-variable lifting platform with a first stop positionable transverse to the rack and a second stop positionable longitudinal to the rack.
3. The device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the rack serving apparatus is attached to a supply conveyor.
4. The device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the lifting platform comprises a transfer pusher that extends over an end of the supply conveyor.
5. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rack is mobile.
6. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rack serving apparatus is attached to a supply conveyor.
7. A device for storing items, comprising:
a rack, the rack configured to be provided with adjustable storage compartments; and
a rack serving apparatus;
wherein the rack serving apparatus and the rack are moveable horizontally and vertically relative to one another in order to place items into storage and to remove items from storage, wherein the rack comprises settable storage compartment divisions that form the storage compartments and are configured to be variably positioned both in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction and bear items to provide a variable adjustment of the storage compartments, wherein the settable storage compartment divisions are formed as elongate pin members, and
wherein the rack comprises a fastening matrix disposed on a rear wall side of the rack and extending over a width and a height of the rack and to which the settable storage compartment divisions are selectively fixed to form the storage compartments; and
wherein the settable storage compartment divisions are fixed to the fastening matrix by a horizontally and vertically positionable storage compartment division setter during placement of items into storage;
wherein the settable storage compartment divisions are positioned and fixed to the fastening matrix according to a particular item that is to be stored when the particular item is being placed into storage, and according to another item that is below the particular item and/or laterally of the particular item, and wherein the rack serving apparatus is attached to a supply conveyor.
8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the storage compartment division setter is part of the rack serving apparatus.
9. The device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the rack serving apparatus comprises a height-variable lifting platform with a first stop positionable transverse to the rack and a second stop positionable longitudinal to the rack.
10. The device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the lifting platform comprises a transfer pusher that extends over an end of the supply conveyor.
11. The device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the rack is mobile.
