ARTICLE TRANSPORTING SYSTEM COMPRISING AN UPPER WHEEL ARRANGEMENT ROTATABLY ARRANGED RELATIVE TO A HOUSING STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING AN ARTICLE TRANSPORTING SYSTEM

Patentradars sammanfattning

FlexLink AB's invention describes an article transporting system in which shuttles travel alternately on a lower rail structure (below) and an upper rail structure (above) via independently releasable lower and upper wheel arrangements. The key novelty is that when the upper wheels engage the upper rail and the lower wheels disengage, the housing structure carrying the articles can rotate freely relative to the upper wheel arrangement, enabling arbitrary reorientation of the cargo—including 180° reversals—without additional switch infrastructure. Lifting arrangements on both wheel sets manage the vertical transitions between rail levels, while a shaft structure (motor-driven) actuates the relative rotation. An optional hoist mechanism extends functionality to sub-floor storage positions.
