Abstract

The compact storage unit comprises several carriages (1) movable on a pair of rails (2) by means of wheels, shelves or similar for storage purposes, drive motors (4) coupled to drive shafts (8) for moving the carriages and batteries (5) to drive the motors. Since current for driving a motor comes from the battery inside the carriage, no external cabling is required on the carriage. Each carriage has a hand grip with a switch (3) for moving it to the left or the right. A carriage can move itself by its own force together with other carriages which require to be moved. Alternatively, a carriage can send control signals to the other carriages so that a carriage which is adjacent to an empty space which is to be filled moves first and thereafter one carriage at a time is moved until a desired empty space is freed on the rails. Preferably, signal traffic is by infra red or radio.

Description

PATENTKRAV 1. Motoriserat kompaktlager innefattande ett flertal vagnar (1), skenor <2) fBr spårbunden forflyttning av nåmnda flertal vagnar och organ (3) for aktivering av nSmnda forflyttning, dår varje vågn innefattar en motor (4) fBr utfdrande av nåmnda fBrflyttning, kånnetecknat av att varje vågn vidare innefattar en elektriBk ackumulator (5) for drivning av nåmnda motor. 2. Motoriserat kompaktlager enligt krav 1, vari nåmnda skenor år anslutna till en strBmfBrsBrjningsenhet av lågsp&nningstyp, varvid varje vågn innefattar stromupptagande kontaktorgan fBr upptagning av laddstrom från nåmnda skenor for laddning av respektive ackumulator. 3. Motoriserat kompaktlager enligt krav 2, vid vilket vagnens hjul anvånds som nåmnda stromupptagande kontaktorgan. 4. Motoriserat kompaktlager enligt krav 2, vari nåmnda stromupptagande kontaktorgan år anordnat som ett slåpskosystem. 5. Motoriserat kompaktlager enligt något av ovanstående krav, vari styrsignaler fBr aktivering av nåmnda forflyttning overfBrs trådlBst mellan nåmnda flertal vagnar. 6. Motoriserat kompaktlager enligt något av ovanstående krav, vari varje vågn innefattar sensororgan (6) och styrorgan fBr att tillhandahålla automatisk inbBrdes styrning och fBrflyttning av namnda flertal tragnar. 7. Motoriserat kompaktlager enligt något av ovanstående krav, vari varje ackumulator år anordnad att laddas då respektive vågn står stilla. 8. Motoriserat kompaktlager enligt något av ovanstående krav, vari varje vågn innefattar siikerhetsbrytare for att stoppa forflyttning genom att bryta motorstrdmmen. 9. Motoriserat kompaktlager enligt krav 8, vari nåmnda såkerhetsbrytare innefattar brytlister fdr avkånning av hinder i £8rflyttningsriktningen. 10. Motoriserat kompaktlager enligt krav 8 eller 9, vari brytning av motorstrommen i en vågn ger en signal som bryter motorstrommen i alla vagnar.PATENT REQUIREMENT 1. Motorized compact bearing comprising a plurality of carriages (1), rails <2) for tracked movement of said plurality of carriages and means (3) for activating said movement, wherein each wave comprises an engine (4) for performing said movement. characterized in that each wave further comprises an electric accumulator (5) for driving said motor. A motorized compact bearing according to claim 1, wherein said rails are connected to a low voltage type current generating unit, each wave comprising current receiving contact means for receiving charge current from said rails for charging the respective accumulator. Motorized compact bearing according to claim 2, wherein the wheels of the carriage are used as said current receiving contact means. The motorized compact bearing according to claim 2, wherein said current receiving contact means is arranged as a tow-shoe system. A motorized compact bearing according to any of the preceding claims, wherein control signals for activating said movement are transmitted wirelessly between said plurality of carriages. A motorized compact bearing according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein each wave comprises sensor means (6) and control means for providing automatic mutual control and movement of said plurality of trolleys. 7. Motorized compact bearing according to any of the above claims, wherein each accumulator is arranged to be charged when each wave is stationary. A motorized compact bearing according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein each wave comprises safety switch for stopping movement by breaking the motor current. A motorized compact bearing as claimed in claim 8, wherein said safety switch includes break strips for detecting obstacles in the direction of movement. The motorized compact bearing according to claim 8 or 9, wherein breaking the motor current in a wave gives a signal that breaks the motor current in all wagons.
