Automated storage tower with carousel

A storage tower for storing storage containers, the storage tower comprising:

• a vertically extending supporting structure having a vertical axis, and a vertically extending supporting structure having a vertical axis;
• m horizontally oriented container supports arranged along the vertical axis of the supporting structure and supported by container supporting frameworks, the container supports being distributed at vertical intervals and m being a positive integer of 2 or more, to provide different levels where storage containers can be stored;
• a drive mechanism configured to rotate the container supports relative to the vertical axis;
• wherein each container support is rotationally connected to the support structure and configured to support at least one storage container;
• wherein each level of a number l of the container supports, l being a positive integer of 1 to m−1, that are arranged above remaining levels of m-l container supports and configured to display at least one opening having a size being at least a maximum horizontal cross section of the storage containers to be stored;
• wherein the l container supports are configured to be rotated about the vertical axis independently such that at least one opening of each level of the l container supports is vertically alignable with at least one opening of other levels of the l container supports by individual rotation of the container supports;
• wherein each of the container supporting frameworks further comprises a static part connected in a non-rotating manner to the support structure, wherein the static part is provided with a rotational device;
• wherein the at least one horizontally oriented container support is rotationally coupled to the static part;
• wherein the static part forms arms extending horizontally in a radial direction from the vertical axis of the supporting structure, wherein the rotational device is arranged at a distal end of the arms.
