STAND-ALONE SHUTTLE CONVEYOR FOR A STORAGE AND/OR LOGISTICS PREPARATION WAREHOUSE
First Claim
1. A stand-alone shuttle conveyor, intended, in particular, for a storage and logistics preparation warehouse, comprising at least one compact automated storage magazine, including a chassis having the following elements mounted thereto, namely:
- wheels enabling the shuttle conveyor to move along the rails of a track of the warehouse or storage magazine,a drive means for the wheels,an electrical power supply means for the shuttle conveyor, comprising an electrical energy storage means, of exclusively electrostatic type and,a joining means with the recharge zones which are connected to a common fixed-voltage electrical power supply in order to recharge the electrical power supply means, wherein the electrical power supply means includes a first part for charging the electrical energy storage means and a second part for delivering the energy to the drive means, wherein said electrical energy storage means is formed by at least one capacitor, wherein the first part comprises a common isolating current limiter positioned between the common fixed-voltage electrical power supply and the electrical energy storage means, and which permits the intensity of the current to be adapted to suit the voltage of the electrical energy storage means which depends on the charge level of said electrical energy storage means, wherein the second part comprises a DC/DC converter positioned between the electrical energy storage means and the drive means and which allows a constant voltage to be supplied to the terminals of the drive means.

Abstract
The invention relates to a stand-alone shuttle conveyor (10) intended, in particular, for a storage and logistics preparation warehouse, including a chassis (24) having the following elements mounted thereto, namely: wheels (26) enabling the shuttle conveyor (10) to move; a means (30) for driving the wheels (26); a means for powering the shuttle conveyor, comprising an exclusively electrostatic electrical energy storage means (32); and a means (48) for joining the recharge zones (18, 20) which are connected to a common fixed-voltage electrical power supply (22) in order to recharge the electrical power supply means. The invention is characterised in that the electrical power supply means include a first part for charging the electrical energy storage means (32) and a second part for delivering the energy to the drive means (30), said electrical energy storage means (32) being formed by at least one capacitor. The invention also relates to a storage warehouse (1) including one such shuttle conveyor.
