Abstract

A storage system having at least one storage location is provided. The storage location has a protective cover for protection against entering and/or escaping particles, liquids and/or gases, and a storage space, wherein the protective cover is arranged pivotably at the storage location. A construction robot having such a storage system is also provided.

Claims (12)

1 . A storage system having at least one storage location wherein the at least one storage location has a protective cover and a storage space, wherein the protective cover is arranged pivotably at the storage location, the storage location having a control contour such that, by following the control contour, the protective cover is pivotable and/or is pivoted from an initial position into a pivoted position, wherein the protective cover and the control contour are rotatably mounted on a common threaded spindle which has a thread.

2 . The storage system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the storage location has a blocking element which is set up to fix the protective cover at least in the pivoted position.

3 . The storage system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the blocking element has a latching mechanism such that the blocking element is releasably securable in an active state, in which the blocking element can fix the protective cover in the pivoted position, and/or in an inactive state, in which the protective cover is pivotable.

4 . The storage system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protective cover is higher in the pivoted position than in the initial position.

5 . The storage system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control contour has a pitch which is greater than or equal to a pitch of the thread of the common threaded spindle.

6 . The storage system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the storage location has an actuating element which is set up to activate and/or deactivate a clamping device of the storage space when actuated.

7 . The storage system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the storage space is configured to receive a consumable, a tool for an electric power tool and/or an electric power tool.

8 . A construction robot having a manipulator and having a storage system as claimed in claim 1 .

9 . The construction robot as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a control projection is formed on an end effector of the manipulator and is set up to follow a control contour of a storage location of the storage system.

10 . The construction robot as claimed in claim 8 , for carrying out construction work on a structural and/or civil engineering construction site.

11 . The storage system of claim 1 , wherein protective cover is for protection against entering and/or escaping particles, liquids and/or gases.

12 . The storage system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the tool for an electric power tool and/or an electric power tool is a power drill or a dust extraction device.
