A conveyor apparatus includes a supporting plate and a conveyor module. The supporting plate is connected to the conveyor module. The supporting plate includes a first power and communication terminal that is configured to provide the conveyor module with power and a communication connection. The conveyor module is connected to the supporting plate. The conveyor module is detachable and includes a second power and communication terminal that is connected to the first power and communication terminal to receive the power and to perform the communication connection. The first and second power and communication terminals are detachable, with an ability to be connected to and disconnected from each other.

The present invention refers to a conveyor belt comprising a drive roller with a constant section cylinder and conical tip teeth, a mesh type drive belt, wherein said holes coincide with the teeth of the drive roller and a sliding plate, the drive belt being supported on the sliding plate. Wherein coupling between the drive belt and the teeth allows reducing longitudinal and transversal strain of the mesh type drive belt.

A modular pulley assembly for a continuous belt conveyor can be assembly from a plurality of modular pulley disks that can be axially aligned and abut against each other to provide pulleys of differing lengths per demand. The modular pulley disks can be made from a non-metallic material such as a polymer and can manufactured by a suitable molding process. Making the modular pulley disks from non-metallic materials enables the disks to be formed with structural geometries such that the assembled pulley is structurally more rigid and can better distribute torsional loads and momentum from the belt to the support shaft.

A chain driving sprocket for a trolley conveyor. The chain drive sprocket includes a disc shaped central body, chain rings including a first sprocket ring and a second sprocket ring. The first sprocket ring and the second sprocket ring are each removably affixable to the disc shaped central body. The first and second sprocket rings are each provided with spaced apart teeth pairs having a curved surface therebetween, sized and shaped to receive a horizontal shaft in a vertical roller unit of the trolley conveyor, for driving the chain of a trolley conveyor. The disc shaped central body further includes curved rectangular shaped protrusions which extend radially outward on the circumferential surface of the disc shaped body. The chain rings are configured to be interchangeably coupled to each of the two sides of the disc shaped central body, thereby reducing manufacturing cost and reducing maintenance costs, since the chain rings may be replaced when the teeth pairs wear. Horizontal roller units are supported by protrusions, thereby improving stability and reducing noise generation.

The present invention relates to a track-shelving system, comprising a frame (13) having a plurality of vertical posts (22) and a plurality of horizontal beams (21) supported by said vertical posts (22), and a track (35) and shelving (14) module connected to said frame, said modules comprise: ⋅—a plurality of beam hooks (3), engaged with horizontal frame beams (21); ⋅—a plurality of crossbeams (2), engaged with at least two beam hooks (3) via an opening in said beam hook; ⋅—a plurality of rail hooks (5, 6), engaged to said crossbeams (2); ⋅—a plurality of rail beams (4), supported by rail hooks (5, 6); ⋅—a shelving assembly (28), movable between a paired set of rail beams (4), In a second aspect, the current invention relates to a kit for converting a frame into a track-shelving system.

A rack corresponding a vehicle having matching connectors: a plurality of modular shelves having two longitudinal sides, the modular shelves are configured to be mounted one on top of the other, wherein each modular shelf of the plurality of modular shelves comprising: a frame having a plurality of struts configured for mounting a modular shelf one on top of the other, and wherein at least a portion of the struts have bottom with fittings that comply with the matching connectors a guardrail on each longitudinal side of the frame wherein at least one of the guardrails is capable of moving between an upright position and a horizontal position. a drawer capable of moving on top of the frame through at least one of the longitudinal sides of the modular shelf.

The invention relates to a storage and order picking system with a storage unit, comprising a plurality of through-flow channels for receiving storage containers for storing articles, an order picking unit having one or more dispensing areas for removing articles and one or more target areas for the order-related or partially order-related collection of articles, a conveyor unit for conveying storage containers between the storage unit and the order picking unit, wherein the storage unit has a self-supporting frame structure on which the order picking unit and the conveyor unit are attached such that they are detachably connected to one another. The modular storage and order picking system is built, brought into service and tested preferably in an installation location, then modularly dismantled and brought to an application location, where it is then brought into service by assembling the modules. A bringing into service and test phase in the application location can be forgone due to the above-mentioned test phase, so that the system is functional and ready for operation within a few hours. In addition, the modular structure of the storage and order picking system according to the invention permits the units—storage unit, order picking unit and conveyor unit—to be transported separately and then to be assembled in the application location.

A modular warehouse system and its assembly method are provided. A plurality of storage containers is combined to form a combined storage area, which is provided with a track assembly, a bin gripping robot, and a plurality of bins. An internal space of at least one track-switching container is in communication with the internal space of at least one of the plurality of storage containers. The track-switching container is provided with a track-switching device therein, and the track-track-switching device is configured to switch the bin gripping robot in at least one of the storage containers from a current running track where the bin gripping robot is located to a target running track. An internal space of at least one outbound-inbound container is in communication with the internal space of the track-switching container. The outbound-inbound container is provided with an outbound-inbound device for performing goods outbound-inbound operations.

An automated system structure is disclosed which may be quickly and efficiently assembled using a number of storage modules. Storage modules may be comprised of a pair of shelf modules, each comprising a number of defined storage locations for storing totes, cartons, trays or other containers. The shelf modules may themselves be modular units comprising a number of horizontal storage levels affixed to a pair of vertical support assemblies at each end of the shelf modules. The pair of shelf modules may be accurately spaced from each other by mounting the shelf modules to tie beams at the bottom and tie plates at the top.
