The invention relates to a method for transferring a conveyed item (2) from a first conveying device (3) onto a base (5) of an additional conveying device (4), by means of an apparatus (1) having a first conveying device (3) and an additional conveying device (4), by means of which apparatus a conveyed item (2) is moved onto a base (5), characterized in that, by means of a lance device (7) having a plurality of lances, the conveyed item (2) is transferred from the first conveying device (3) onto the base (5), which lies on the second conveying device (4).

A box moving device is disclosed. The box moving device changes the position of a box having four side surfaces. The box moving device is equipped with a conveyor and a movement control unit. The movement control unit drives the conveyor to cause the box to move from a first position to a second position. The conveyor can alternately switch between a first state, in which it is contracted along a moving direction of the box, and a second state, in which it is extended along the moving direction of the box. The movement control unit causes the box to move from the first position to the second position by driving the conveyor that is in a holding mode in which it holds at least one of the side surfaces of the box and simultaneously switching the conveyor from the first state to the second state.

A pack stacker system for stacking articles is presented. The pack stacker system is configured to lift an article from a conveyor while the conveyor is in operation and stack the article on a second article while the conveyor is in continuous operation. The pack stacker system is accurate and can operate without human intervention.

The present invention relates to an auxiliary battery and an auxiliary battery rental device, and the auxiliary battery rental device according to the present invention comprises: a battery port allowing an auxiliary battery to be discharged therefrom or returned thereto; a battery queue in which auxiliary batteries are vertically stacked and loaded; a carrier for discharging an auxiliary battery loaded in the battery queue to the battery port, or loading an auxiliary battery returned to the battery port in the battery queue; a lift for lifting at least some of the auxiliary batteries loaded in the battery queue; a charging unit for charging at least some of the auxiliary batteries loaded in the battery queue; and a control unit for controlling an operation of the rental device such that lending and returning operations of the auxiliary batteries are automatically performed. According to the present invention, lending, returning, charging, and lending of auxiliary batteries can be circularly and automatically performed.

The invention provides a delivery system and layered stacking device for paper packages. The layered stacking device comprises a upper layer mechanism, a lower layer mechanism, and a pushing mechanism. The upper layer mechanism protrudes to an outlet of a delivery device to receive at least two paper packages. The paper packages will be stacked and neatly arranged on the upper layer mechanism. When the lower layer mechanism is raised to a first height and therefore close to the outlet, the upper layer mechanism will be withdrawn from the outlet of the delivery device, thereby the lower layer mechanism will receive the stacked paper packages that are dropped from the upper layer mechanism. Afterwards, when the lower layer mechanism is fallen to a second height, the pushing mechanism will push the stacked paper packages on the lower layer mechanism to a feeding device next the lower layer mechanism.

A board stacking system for stacking board layers into a stack, and associated method are provided. The board stacking system includes a board stacking apparatus adapted to arrange board layers into the stack. The board stacking apparatus having a stack holder comprising an adjustable stacking area for supporting the stack, the stacking area having a length defined between a front edge and a back edge. The board stacking apparatus further having one or more stacking arms operable to receive board layers from a board dispensing mechanism and sequentially arrange the board layers onto the forming stack. The board stacking system further includes a scanner positioned and configured for measuring a width of the board layers and transfer the information to the stack holder to allow adjustment of the length of the stacking area to substantially correspond to the width of the previously measured board layer.

The invention concerns a conveying device (10) for conveying filled bags (1, 2), comprising a conveying unit (13) by which at least part of a conveying path (3) for conveying filled normal bags (1) can be formed from a feeding station (101) to a stacking area (105).

The invention also concerns a system (100) for stacking filled bags (1, 2) and a method for stacking filled bags (1, 2).

A picking station (19) as well as a storage and order-picking system (1) for automatic picking and automatic packaging of articles (10a . . . 10p) is specified. An automated packaging machine (25) and a goods-out conveyor system (20) as well as different types of picking zones (24a . . . 24f), in which the articles (10a . . . 10p) for an order are picked and prepared for the packaging process, are included thereby. In particular, the articles (10a . . . 10p) are stacked on top of each other to form an article stack (41) and are subsequently discharged onto an automated feed conveyor system (26) leading to the automated packaging machine (25) or directly into the automated packaging machine (25). Moreover, a method for operating the picking station (19) described and/or the storage and order-picking system (1) described is specified.
