Selective automatic picking of storage packets from warehouse shelving

摘要

The shelving (T) is divided into ten compartments (F1-F10) by a vertical central bar (MS) and crossbars of sheet metal or plastic, with three long elliptical openings (OE1-OE3) in the floor of each compartment for dies (S1-S3) to disengage the shoe boxes or similar packets (P4,P7,P9) to be delivered by sliders on to packet conveyors (PFT1,PET2). The selected packets are propelled by sliders (AL1,AL2) whose range of operation extends above the top edge of an unselected packet (P8) but below the top edges of the selected ones. The shelving conveyor (TFT) moves the emptied shelving when the latter is released after retraction of the dies.
