Abstract

The present invention provides an automated storage and retrieval system comprising a three-dimensional grid (4) and multiple container handling vehicles (9), wherein the threedimensional grid (4) comprises multiple storage columns (5), in which containers (6) are stored one on top of another in vertical stacks (7), and multiple port columns (19, 20) through which the containers (6) can be transferred between the top level of the grid and a container handling station (21); and the container handling vehicles (9) are operated on a top level of the grid (4) for retrieving containers (6) from, and storing containers (6) in, the storage columns (5), and for transporting the containers (6) horizontally across the grid (4) to or from the multiple port columns (19, 20); wherein the container handling station (21) comprises a horizontal container carousel (24) comprising a first straight conveyor section (25) and a second straight conveyor section (26) interconnected by two intermediate conveyor sections (27, 27’), each of the conveyor sections comprises at least one conveyor device (29) for accommodating and moving a container in a horizontal direction; the first straight conveyor section (25) is arranged directly below the multiple port columns (19,20), such that any of the container handling vehicles (9) may transfer a container (6) between the top level of the grid and the first straight conveyor section (25) via any of the multiple port columns (19, 20); and the second straight conveyor section (26) is arranged to allow access to a container (6) retrieved from the grid (4) via the first straight conveyor section (25).The present invention provides an automated storage and retrieval system comprising a three-dimensional grid (4) and multiple container handling vehicles (9), the three-dimensional grid (4) comprising multiple storage columns (5), in which containers (6) are stored one on top of another in vertical stacks (7), and multiple port columns (19, 20) through which the containers (6) can be transferred between the top level of the grid and a container handling station (21); and the container handling vehicles (9) are operated on a top level of the grid (4) for retrieving containers (6) from, and storing containers (6) in, the storage columns (5), and for transporting the containers (6) ) horizontally across the grid (4) to or from the multiple port columns (19, 20); The container handling station (21) comprises a horizontal container carousel (24) comprising a first straight conveyor section (25) and a second straight conveyor section (26) interconnected by two intermediate conveyor sections (27, 27 '), each of the conveyor sections comprise at least one conveyor device (29) for accommodating and moving a container in a horizontal direction; the first straight conveyor section (25) is arranged directly below the multiple port columns (19,20), such that any of the container handling vehicles (9) may transfer a container (6) between the top level of the grid and the first straight conveyor section (25) via any of the multiple port columns (19, 20); and the second straight conveyor section (26) is arranged to allow access to a container (6) retrieved from the grid (4) via the first straight conveyor section (25).
