Overhead-conveying transport bag and method for automatically unloading the transport bag

摘要

An overhead-conveying transport bag for automatically unloading a loaded piece good includes a basic structure as well as a separate receiving device, which is arranged adjacent thereto. Unloading of the transport bag is performed through one of the front sides of the basic structure which is open and at least the lateral sides of the receiving device are formed such that the base is liftable into an unloading position of the transport bag, in which the base is lifted into the bottom of the basic structure.

主权项

1. An overhead-conveying system comprising:
a transport bag including a basic structure as well as a separate receiving device, which is arranged adjacent thereto; wherein the basic structure comprises a top side, a bottom, lateral sides, and front sides; wherein the receiving device comprises a base, a top side, front sides, and lateral sides; wherein unloading of the transport bag is performed through one of the front sides of the basic structure which is open; wherein the bottom of the basic structure is coupled to the top side of the receiving device for defining a receiving space beneath the basic structure, and wherein the bottom of the basic structure is open, wherein the top side of the receiving device is open in a non-loaded state of the transport bag; wherein at least the lateral sides of the basic structure, the lateral sides of the receiving device, and the base of the receiving device are closed; and wherein at least the lateral sides of the receiving device are formed such that the base is liftable into an unloading position of the transport bag, in which the base is lifted into the bottom of the basic structure, wherein the transport bag respectively comprises a retaining device extending in the region of the front sides at least along a transition between the basic structure and the receiving device; and an unloading station; wherein the unloading station comprises a lifting device and a pushing device; wherein the lifting device is configured to lift the base of the receiving device of the transport bag relative to the retaining device, which transport bag is loaded with at least one piece good if the transport bag is located in an unloading position, in a vertical direction into the bottom of the basic structure such that the at least one piece good can be pushed out horizontally by means of the pushing device through one of the front sides of the basic structure of the transport bag; and wherein the pushing device comprises a pusher which moves into an interior of the basic structure, where the at least one piece good is located if the base is lifted, through the other front side of the basic structure.
