A carrier basket stabilizing system and method for use with a conveyor system having a pathway on which cars are guided, with at least some of the cars having a carrier basket pivotally mounted thereon. The conveyor system includes a curved portion of the pathway, that may be directly before at least one of a loading station or an unloading station. The system includes a support configured to be located adjacent to a portion of the pathway, with a deflectable element on the support that extends generally parallel to the portion of the pathway, with the deflectable element extending partially into a space envelope generated by the carrier basket as it moves through the portion of the pathway. The deflectable element includes bristles that suppress an outward swinging movement of the carrier basket.

A cargo carousel system for shipping containers is provided that can include a frame configured to fit within a shipping container and a cargo carousel mechanism in the frame that can move cargo pod platforms, configured for holding cargo pods, in a continuous loop path in the frame. The system can further include two frames side-by-side in the shipping, each frame with its own cargo carousel system.

A self-damping carrier basket pivot connection for a carrier basket transporter system having cars configured to travel along a pathway, at least some of which have a carrier basket pivotally connected thereto. The pivot connection includes a support connection configured for attachment a car. The support connection has at least three connection rollers that define a circular envelope and a mating connection configured to be attached to a back support of the carrier basket. The mating connection includes a housing with a part circular track that generally corresponds to or is larger than the circular envelope such that the rollers can be located within the part circular track. The part circular track includes at least one inwardly directed protrusion. The connection rollers engage in the part circular track such that the carrier basket is adapted to be pivotable by gravity so a product support surface of the carrier basket is maintained generally horizontal during movement of the carrier basket along the pathway, and the at least one inwardly directed protrusion provides an increased resistance to relative movement between the housing and a roller that contacts the protrusion.

The invention relates to a suspended pouch (10) acting as a container for conveyed goods for transporting goods to be conveyed in a suspended conveyor device, comprising a first pouch side wall (12) and a second pouch side wall (14) which can be unfolded and folded up to open and close a conveyed goods receiving region (16), and comprising a suspension means (20), the first pouch side wall (12) comprising a rigid edge contour region (12r) and being connected at said region to the suspension means (20) so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis (26), and the second pouch side wall (14) being connected to the suspension means (20), or said suspension means being able to act on said second side wall, in such a way that the first and second pouch side wall (12, 14) can be unfolded and folded up by pivoting the first pouch side wall (12) about the pivot axis (26), wherein the suspended pouch (10) comprises a basic unit (50) and an interchangeable element (60), the basic unit (50) comprising the suspension means (20) and the rigid edge contour region (12r), and the interchangeable element (60) comprising at least part of the second pouch side wall (14), preferably the entire second pouch side wall (14), and being provided on the basic unit (50) in a replaceable manner.

An overhead conveying device for an order-picking system comprises a support structure such as a guide rail, a transport carrier movable on the support structure for transporting a hanging article, and a drive device for moving the transport carrier on the support structure. The transport carrier can have a drive wheel coupled to a motor, an energy source connected to the motor, a holding force generator by means of which the transport carrier movably adheres to the support structure, and/or a driving control and a writably and readably configured memory connected thereto. The overhead conveying device can further have a diverter with a diverter element which is movable vertically to a level of a running surface of the guide rail or away from it.

A method for actuating transport carriers in order to transport hanging articles on an overhead conveying device for an order-picking system includes a track marking provided along a transport path. The transport carrier is moved according to a driving specification, which is stored in a memory of the transport carrier. The track marking comprises a query marking, which marks a diverter section and at which the driving specification from the electronic memory is accessed. According to the driving specification, the transport carrier can be moved straight ahead or diverted in the diverter section. The track marking further comprises a notification marking, at which a further driving specification for subsequent diverter sections is transmitted to the transport carrier. A corresponding transport carrier and an overhead conveying device are also disclosed.

Device for driving vertical units which are suspended from a guide rail for growing plants, wherein each unit comprises a first engagement element. Drive means cause the displacement members, each of which comprise a row of second engagement elements, to alternatively perform a first, outward movement and a second, inward movement. The first and second engagement elements are configured such that they engage with each other in such a way during this first movement that the units are displaced and are not displaced during the second movement. The second engagement elements are provided across the entire operating area of the one or more displacement members in such a way that the mutual distance increases. In this way, the units are guided through a growing space, with the mutual distance automatically being increased in order to give the plants more space as the growing process progresses.

The present invention discloses a conveying device that uses a movable blocking element to block the forward movement of the internal part/component in the front end workpiece, so that the internal part/component cannot move forward. When the movable blocking element swings from top to bottom, it does not obstruct the setting of the movable blocking element and the internal part/component moving backward. Therefore, it is convenient to not obstruct the backward movement of the front end workpiece and has good practicality. The setting of the front left and right avoidance slots and the rear left and right avoidance slots facilitates the external mechanical arm to avoid the front and rear guide slots when clamping and placing workpieces.

Provided is an overhead hoist transport device including an article transport vehicle having a space in which articles are loaded and unloaded, and including traveling wheels, guide wheels, and steering wheels, a traveling rail positioned along a ceiling of a semiconductor manufacturing line and providing a moving path for the article transport vehicle, a measuring sensor attached to the article transport vehicle and configured to measure a traveling state of the article transport vehicle, and a system configured to receive measured values from the measuring sensor, wherein the traveling rail includes at least one traveling section among a straight section, a curved section, and a branching section, and wherein the system is further configured to determine whether specific wheels of the article transport vehicle are detached on the traveling rail.
