Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for transferring unit loads ( 6 - 1, 6 - 2 ) to storage channels ( 15 ) for storage, the unit loads being conveyed to the storage channels by means of a unit load receiving device ( 7 ) which is movable along the storage channels in an x-direction and by means of a transport device ( 28 ) which can be extended into the storage channel in a z-direction. The transport device comprises outer transport elements ( 64, 65 ) in opposite end sections and optionally an inner transport element ( 66 ) in between. The unit load is moved from the unit load receiving device into the storage channel up to an intermediate position (Z P ) by means of one of the transport elements ( 64, 65, 66 ) by moving the transport device in a first direction of adjustment ( 68 ). The transport device is then moved back to a second direction of adjustment ( 69 ) such that the other of the transport elements ( 64, 65, 66 ) is positioned behind a side wall ( 70 ) of the unit load facing the unit load receiving device. The unit load is finally shifted in the storage channel from the intermediate position (Z P ) to the second depth position (Z n+1 ) by means of the other of the transport elements ( 64, 65, 66 ) by moving the transport device.

Claim (Index 13):
Storage system with at least one storage rack ( 1 ) having a plurality of storage channels ( 15 ), at least one unit load receiving device ( 7 \u2032) which can be moved along the storage rack ( 1 ) in a first direction (x-direction) and a transport device ( 28 \u2032) which can be extended relative to the unit load receiving device ( 7 \u2032) in a second direction (z-direction) into the storage channel ( 15 ), and a control unit ( 18 ) for the unit load receiving device ( 7 \u2032) and transport device ( 28 \u2032), and the transport device ( 28 \u2032) is equipped with at least one outer transport element ( 64 ,  65 ) respectively in opposite end sections in order to transfer the unit loads ( 6 - 1 ,  6 - 2 ) to depth positions (Z n  . . . Z n+1 ) lying one behind the other at a mutual distance in at least one of the storage channels ( 15 ), and the unit load receiving device ( 7 \u2032) is able to receive a unit load ( 6 - 1 ,  6 - 2 ) between the outer transport elements ( 64 ,  65 ), wherein the control unit ( 18 ) is configured to activate the unit load receiving device ( 7 \u2032) and transport device ( 28 \u2032) in order to implement the following methods steps:\n transferring a unit load ( 6 - 1 ,  6 - 2 ) to the unit load receiving device ( 7 \u2032), positioning the unit load receiving device ( 7 \u2032) in front of a storage channel ( 15 ) designated by a control unit ( 18 ) in which a unit load ( 6 - 1 ,  6 - 2 ) is to be stored at least in a first depth position (Z n ) and a unit load ( 6 - 1 ,  6 - 2 ) is to be stored in a second depth position (Z n+1 ) lying behind the first depth position (Z n ), initially shifting a unit load ( 6 - 1 ,  6 - 2 ) from the unit load receiving device ( 7 \u2032) into the storage channel ( 15 ) such that this unit load ( 6 - 1 ,  6 - 2 ) is shifted by one of the transport elements ( 64 ,  65 ) by moving the transport device ( 28 \u2032) in the direction of the storage channel ( 15 ) (first direction of adjustment  68 ) up to an intermediate position (Z P ), moving back the transport device ( 28 \u2032) in the direction of the unit load receiving device ( 7 \u2032) (second direction of adjustment  69 ) such that the other one of the transport elements ( 64 ,  65 ) that will be used to shift the unit load ( 6 - 1 ,  6 - 2 ) from the intermediate position (Z P ) to the second depth position (Z n+1 ) is positioned behind a side wall ( 70 ) of the unit load ( 6 - 1 ,  6 - 2 ) facing the unit load receiving device ( 7 \u2032), finally shifting the unit load ( 6 - 1 ,  6 - 2 ) in the storage channel ( 15 ) from the intermediate position (Z P ) to the second depth position (Z n+1 ) by means of the other one of the transport elements ( 64 ,  65 ) by moving the transport device ( 28 \u2032) in the direction of the storage channel ( 15 ) (first direction of adjustment  68 ).
