The invention relates to an arrangement for checking contours of pallets (18) to be put into storage in a rack system, said arrangement comprising: a pallet transfer station (12) which is designed to receive pallets (18) to be put into storage in the rack system; at least one sensor device (16a-16d) which is designed to detect whether a pallet (18) standing on the pallet transfer station (12) and objects supported by the pallet (18) are completely within a predefined contour; and an output unit (24) which is operationally coupled to the sensor unit (16a-16d) and is designed to output the detection result. The invention also relates to a rack system comprising at least one rack row, at least one stacker crane and at least one arrangement for checking contours, the pallet transfer station of which is designed such that pallets can be placed thereon from outside the rack system, which pallets can then be picked up by the stacker crane so as to be put into storage.

The present invention relates to a support device used in weighing coal of a raw coal bunker in a thermal power plant and a weighable raw coal bunker. The support device includes a base, a positioning sleeve, an upper support and a weighing sensor, a sensor groove being provided in the middle of the base, the weighing sensor being arranged in the sensor groove, the positioning sleeve being arranged on the base in a covering mode, a positioning hole being provided in the middle of the positioning sleeve, the upper support being movably inserted in the positioning hole, and a bottom surface of the upper support penetrating the positioning hole to abut against a top surface of the weighing sensor. The raw coal bunker uses the support device. Compared with the prior art, the present invention effectively meets the weighing requirement of the raw coal bunker.
