Abrégé

The invention proposes a method for storing and order-picking articles using pallets (10), on which articles (5) of the same type are arranged in a plurality of horizontal layers, wherein each layer contains a plurality of the articles (5). The pallet (10) is emptied, and the articles removed in this way are transferred onto trays (20) provided with handling structures (22A, 22B) for a storage- and retrieval unit, wherein each tray is loaded with just one layer of articles. The trays loaded in this way are transported to a storage location (31) within a storage region (30), a stack of articles being built up in the process from the loaded trays (20).

Abrégé

The invention relates to a transport conveyor for piece goods, having rollers or cylinders (2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4) disposed along the transport conveyor on parallel bearing axes, of which at least a partial quantity can be rotated by means of a common drive means, preferably a drive belt (31). A torque limiter is disposed in the force flow between the common drive means (31) and each of the rollers or cylinders. In order to achieve a transport conveyor working at a low back pressure due to succeeding piece goods, a group (51) of sequential rollers or cylinders (2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4) is rotationally coupled by a transmission element (50) wound about the roller or cylinders of said group (51). An endless belt is preferably used as the transmission element, said belt being guided about the cylindrical transport surface of the rollers or cylinders (2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4).

Abrégé

The invention relates to a transport path for piece goods, comprising a roller conveyor (1) made of a plurality of rollers or cylinders (2), on which a round bearing section having a bushing (21) rotatably mounted thereon is designed toward the edge of the roller conveyor, wherein the rollers or cylinders (2) can be set in rotation by means of a common drive belt (31) contacting the bushings (21) from outside. The transmittable torque between the bushing inner surface and the bearing section is less than the transmittable torque between the drive belt (31) and the bushing outer surface. The rollers or cylinders (2) have a second bearing section comprising second bushings (22) rotatably mounted thereon. The second bushings (22) can be set in rotation by means of at least one second drive belt (32). In at least a portion of the rollers or cylinders (2), the driving force transmitted from the second drive belt (32) to the second bushing (22) is different in size and/or direction from the driving force transmitted from the first drive belt (31) to the first bushing (21).
