DEVICE FOR SEPARATING PIECE GOODS TO BE STORED IN AN AUTOMATED STORAGE FACILITY

摘要

The invention relates to a device (1) for separating piece goods (2) to be stored in an automated storage facility, comprising a conveying device (3) for conveying piece goods (2) from a stock (4) to a support surface (5) of a collecting device (27), a control device (6) for controlling the conveying device (3), a sensor (7), which is coupled to the control device (6) and which detects the striking of the support surface (5) by piece goods (2), wherein the control device (6) interrupts the conveying of additional piece goods (2) onto the support surface (5) as soon as the striking of a piece good or a plurality of pieces goods (2) has been detected, and a detecting device coupled to the control device (6) for detecting the position and orientation of the piece goods (2) lying on the support surface (5). The detecting device has an image recording device (23), which produces at least one recording of the underside of the support (27), from which recording the control device (6) obtains information about the position and orientation of the piece goods (2) lying on the support. A handling device (8-11) for removing a piece good (2) from the support surface (5) for further transport into the storage facility is coupled to the control device (6), wherein the control device (6) controls the handling device (8-11) according to the information

1. A device for separating piece goods to be stored in an automated storage facility, comprising:
a conveying device for conveying piece goods from a stock to a support surface of a collecting device; a control device for controlling the conveying device; a sensor that is coupled to the control device and detects an imminent or actual impact of piece goods on the support surface, wherein the control device interrupts the conveying of additional piece goods onto the support surface as soon as the impact of a piece good or several piece goods has been detected; a detecting device that is coupled to the control device and serves for detecting the position and orientation of the piece goods lying on the support surface, wherein the detecting device comprises an image recording device that records images of the underside of the support surface collecting device and the control device obtains information on the position and orientation of the piece goods lying on the support surface from said images; and a handling device that is coupled to the control device and serves for removing a piece good from the support surface for further transport into the storage facility, wherein the control device controls the handling device according to the information on position and orientation such that it takes hold of an individual piece good; wherein the detecting device comprises a light source that is arranged above the support surface and generates at least one luminous beam that is incident on the support surface in an exclusively perpendicular fashion, wherein the at least one luminous beam either covers the entire support surface to be detected or is moved such that it successively passes over the entire support surface to be detected; and wherein the collecting device transmits light of the light source passing through the support surface and at the same time scatters or deflects this light of the light source at every point of the support surface such that at least part of the transmitted light is directed at the image recording device.
