A block storage arrangement comprising:
- at least one block storage element receiving space;
- a loading space arranged below the block storage element receiving space;
- an opening, which is arranged between the block storage element receiving space and the loading space, having a holding device,
- wherein a direction from the loading space into the block storage element receiving space defines an insertion direction, in which the block storage element is inserted into the opening from below, and
- a centering device, which is arranged in the block storage element receiving space, is movable in the insertion direction in the block storage element receiving space as the block storage element comes into contact with the centering device from below.
A method for operating a block storage arrangement that includes at least one block storage element receiving space and a loading space arranged below the block storage element receiving space in a direction of gravity, the method comprising:
- moving a block storage element into the block storage element receiving space from the loading space through an opening from below,
- wherein, in moving through the opening, the block storage element engages a centering device arranged in the block storage element receiving space and raises the centering device, and wherein a form-fitting engagement is produced between the block storage element and the centering device.
