Abstract
Storage and retrieval machine with a chassis (9) for supporting a mast (10), comprising at least one carriage (1) including guide elements (2, 2′), at least one drive element (3) assigned to the carriage (1) and including a drive motor (5), and with at least one rail (4) assigned to the carriage (1), wherein at least a partial area, seen in the installation orientation, directly above the rail (4) is free of guide elements (2, 2′).
Claims16
Storage and retrieval machine comprising a chassis (9) for supporting a mast (10), comprising at least one carriage (1) including guide elements (2, 2′), at least one drive element (3) assigned to the carriage (1) and including a drive motor (5), and at least one rail (4) assigned to the carriage (1), characterized in that at least a partial area, seen in the installation orientation, directly above the rail (4) is free of guide elements (2, 2′).
Storage and retrieval machine according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the guide elements (2, 2′) are separated into double pairs and mounted on an assigned bow.
Storage and retrieval machine according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the carriage (1) has, in a built-in state, lateral walls extending downwards on opposing sides of the at least one rail (4), in which the bearings of the guide elements (2, 2′) are received.
Storage and retrieval machine according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the at least one rail (4) has a polygonal cross section.
Storage and retrieval machine according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the at least one rail (4) has the cross section of an I-beam.
Storage and retrieval machine according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one of the guide elements (2, 2′) is a track roller.
Storage and retrieval machine according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one of the guide elements (2, 2′) is a slide element.
Storage and retrieval machine according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a drive element (3) assigned to a respective carriage is arranged in at least partial areas, in the installation orientation, directly above the rail longitudinal axis.
Storage and retrieval machine according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the drive element (3) is at least one drive belt.
Storage and retrieval machine according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the drive element (3) is, at least in partial areas restable—seen in the installation orientation—on the rail, particularly on a partial area of the, in installation orientation, upper flange surface of the at least one rail (4).
Storage and retrieval machine according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the drive motor (5) is arranged on the carriage (1) approximately centrically above the at least one rail (4).
