Abstract
A block storage system with a block storage element, which includes a carrier frame and a load-bearing element, and a vehicle and a method for operating the block storage system. The method includes, via the vehicle, at least one of detaching the load-bearing element from the carrier frame or engaging the load-hearing element with the carrier frame.
Claims5
A method for operating a block storage system with a block storage element, which includes a carrier frame and a load-bearing element, and a vehicle, wherein the carrier frame is detachably engageable with the vehicle, the method comprising:
- at least one of detaching the load-bearing element from the carrier frame or engaging the load-bearing element with the carrier frame via actuation of a hoisting device of the vehicle to vertically move the load-bearing element relative to the carrier frame,
- wherein, after detaching the load-bearing element from the carrier frame, the method further comprises transferring the load-bearing element to a conveying device, while the carrier frame remains on the vehicle.
A method for operating a block storage system with a block storage element, which includes a carrier frame and a load-bearing element, and a vehicle, wherein the carrier frame is detachably engageable with the vehicle, the method comprising:
- at least one of detaching the load-bearing element from the carrier frame or engaging the load-bearing element with the carrier frame via actuation of a hoisting device of the vehicle to vertically move the load-bearing element relative to the carrier frame,
- wherein the conveying device is configured to at least one of move or clean at least one of the load-bearing element or the carrier frame, and
- wherein the load-bearing element and the carrier frame are at least one of moved or cleaned by the conveying device independently of each other.
A method for operating a block storage system with a block storage element, which includes a carrier frame and a load-bearing element, and a vehicle, wherein the carrier frame is detachably engageable with the vehicle, the method comprising:
- at least one of detaching the load-bearing element from the carrier frame or engaging the load-bearing element with the carrier frame via actuation of a hoisting device of the vehicle to vertically move the load-bearing element relative to the carrier frame,
- wherein block storage system further includes at least one second carrier frame, and the carrier frame and the at least one second carrier frame each have an upper stack geometry and a lower stack geometry,
- wherein the carrier frame is positionably arranged above the second carrier frame in a block storage, so that the upper stack geometry of the at least one second carrier frame is detachably engaged with the lower stack geometry of the first carrier frame.
A block storage system comprising:
- a block storage element having a load-bearing element and a carrier frame;
- a vehicle,
- wherein the load-bearing element and the carrier frame are detachably engageable with each other,
- wherein the carrier frame is detachably engageable with the vehicle, and
- wherein the carrier frame and the load-bearing element are separatable from each other and mergeable together by actuation of a hoisting device of the vehicle to vertically move the load bearing element relative to the carrier frame, and
- at least one second block storage element that includes a second carrier frame,
- wherein the carrier frame and the second carrier frame each have an upper stack geometry and a lower stack geometry, and
- wherein, in a block storage system, the block storage element is arranged above the second block storage element in the direction of gravity, such that the lower stack geometry of the carrier frame is detachably engaged with the upper stack geometry of the second carrier frame.
