Some of the operating elements Sa 1 to San can be arranged centrally and some on the sorting compartments (FIG. 4b). The input device is used to enter the number of items, removal code number, intended use and similar specific data that are required to debit goods. A central device Z (FIG. 12a) shown in FIGS SA 1 to SAn and identifies the sorting compartment from which goods have been removed and makes the corresponding assignment to the data entered with the input device EV (FIGS. 1 to 4d and 5).

The operating elements SA 1 to SAn assigned to the sorting compartments Fl to Fn can be arranged directly on the relevant sorting compartment itself or on an adjacent sorting compartment (FIGS. 1 to 4c) and / or in a separate unit to form an assembly (e.g. . Keypad) be summarized (FIG. 4d), to which the input device EV can also belong. If only one person is to operate the storage facility at a time, one control element Sa 1 to San is sufficient for each sorting compartment F1 to Fn (FIG. 1). If several people are to be able to operate the storage facility at the same time, several operating elements Sa 1 to San are provided for each sorting compartment Fl to Fn (F i g. 2): Furthermore, display elements Lb 1 to are used to indicate that an operating element has been operated Lbn and Lq 1 to Lqn are provided.

For the in F i g. 4 and 4a with cover flaps for the sorting compartments Fl to Fn, it is also conceivable that two operating elements are used per flap, one operating element indicating the state "open" and one indicating the state "closed". The sorting bins FI to FiJ can be provided with locking devices that can be electrically closed or opened. The F i g. 4b and 4e to 4n show suitable embodiments of locking mechanisms VR for the flaps KLA 1 to KLAn covering the sorting compartments F1 to FfJ, as will be explained in detail below. These flaps can be provided for both shelf compartments and drawer compartments.

The total number of sorting compartments F1 to Fn (FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4) can be divided into one or more groups GT1 to G7> j and each group can be assigned one or more input device (s) EVX to EVn be. The division of the groups GTX to GTn (FIGS. 1 and 2) with associated input devices EVX to EVn can run from top to bottom and / or from a front side GR (FIGS. 3 and 4) to a rear wall RW . The input device (s) EV or EVX to EVn assigned to the sorting bins F1 to Fn (FIGS. 1, 3 and 4) can be arranged in the storage facility instead of one or more sorting bins. For storage facilities with drawers, several drawers can form a group of sorting compartments with associated input devices EV (FIGS. 3 and 4). Each group GT1 to GTn (Fi g. 1, Fi g. 2 and 2a, Fig. 3 and 4) of sorting compartments F1 to Fn and the associated input device ^) £ Vbzw. EVX to EVn are structurally combined to form a well-defined ergonomic unit and this delimitation is easily perceptible. The structural delimitation of each group GT 1 to GTn (Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and 2a, Fig. 3 and 4) of sorting compartments with their input device (s) EV or EVX to EVn can be supported by different, but uniform colors for each group. The control elements Sa 1 to San (FIGS. 1, 2 and 2a, FIGS. 3 and 3a) assigned to each sorting compartment F1 to Fn form an ergonomic unit with the sorting compartment F1 to Fn themselves. The sorting bins Fl to Fr? associated operating elements 5a 1 to San can also be arranged in a closed keypad (keypad matrix) (FIG. 4d), this being combined with the associated input device £ V to form a clearly manageable ergonomic unit. The arrangement of the closed keypad (FIG. 4d) can correspond to the arrangement of the sorters F1 to Fn, to which the operating elements Sa 1 to San of the keypad are assigned.

One or more optical display elements Lb 1 to Lbn (Fig. 1, Fig. 2a, Fig. 3, Fig. 3a, Fig. 6, Fig. 14) can be used for each sorting compartment Fl to Fn to display, so which the operating elements 54 1 to SAn, which are assigned to the sorting compartments F1 to Fn , each for the identification (identification of a sorting compartment of a commodity) of a commodity to be debited that is actuated and / or has been provided. Further optical display elements Lq 1 to Lqn (Figs. 3a and 4a, 4c, Fig. 9) can be provided for each sorting compartment F1 to Fn to display a general overview of the sorting compartments from which goods have already been booked

and / or have been forgotten to book. The optical display elements Lb 1 to Lbn and Lq 1 to Lqn can be designed as numeric or alphanumeric displays.

Each sorting compartment Fl to Fn (Fig. 1, 3 and 4) can have a numerical display A (Fig. 4b), which the input devices ZTVbzw assigned to the sorting compartments. EVi to EVn shows the number of items entered. For each sorting compartment F1 to Fn (Fig. 1, Fig. 3 and 4) a numerical entry z. B. a coding switch CS (Fig.4c) can be provided with which the entry of the number of items removed or returned is entered, with a sign information, removal code number, purpose and other specific data that are necessary to book a product on the Input device EV or EVi to EVn (F i g. 1,3,4) can be entered.

The operating elements 5a 1 to San can partly be arranged directly on the sorting compartments F1 to Fn (FIGS. 1, 2, 2a, 3a, 4a, 4b, 4c) and partly in the keypad (FIG. 4d) and / or be present several times and be linked as OR functions that can have a central priority control.

The bins Fl to Fn can be obtained by fixedly arranged longitudinal dividing members LTi to LT (3 and 4) are formed, the recording pattern for offset by 90 ° removable transverse partition elements QT (F i g. 1, 2, 2a, 3 and 4). The longitudinal dividing elements can be arranged displaceably.

The cross- dividing elements QTi to QTn can be placed on a base plate or rear wall (Fig. 2a) via plug connectors STVBi to STVBn (FIG. 2a, 3 to FIG. 4b), via which the operating elements 5a arranged on the cross-divisions 1 to San and the optical display elements Lb 1 to Lbn and Lq 1 to Lqn (FIGS. 3 to 4c) are connected to the wiring housed under the base plate (FIG. 15) or rear wall (FIG. 2a).

The pluggable transverse dividing elements QT ( FIGS. 2a, e to 4b) are secured to the base plate by means of a locking device. The locking devices are designed so that when a transverse dividing element QTn (FIGS. 3 to 4b and FIG. 2a) is replaced, a contact is actuated (closed or interrupted), which in the FIG. 7, 7a shown central device Z (Fig. 12a) for registration and accounting processing of the data entered on the input device, this exchange is registered. Recording elements AST for the connectors STVB 1 to 57YSn (F i g. 3 to 4a and 2a) are arranged in a grid 2n of the base plate ^ * z \ v γ ^^^^^^^^ Α ίΐ · ΐ er Οαλ This grid corresponds to the grid for receiving the longitudinal and transverse dividing elements LTn and QTn of the sorting compartments (FIGS. 2a, 3 and 4).

The control elements SA 1 to SAn arranged on the transverse dividing elements QTn (F i g. 1,2,4a and 4b) actuate flaps KLA 1 to KLAn, which close the corresponding sorting compartments Fl to Fn , with the respective control element SA i to SAn either The flaps KLAn (FIG. 4a) covering the sorting compartments F1 to Fn can be made of transparent material. The flaps KLAn (FIG. 4a) covering the sorting compartments F 1 to Fn can be interchangeable on the transverse dividing elements QTn and in different sizes, depending on the area of the associated sorting compartment determined by the selection of the receiving grid.

The flaps KLA 1 to KLAn (Figs. 4a and 4b) can be opened or closed by the electrically operated locking mechanism VR (Figs. 4b, 4e), the flaps being activated by a spring force FZC (Fig. 4a ) can be opened automatically after releasing the locking mechanism VR. The locking mechanism VR can be arranged on the flaps KLA 1 to KLAn themselves or on the transverse dividing elements QTn (FIGS. 4e to 4n).

The locking mechanism VR of the flaps KLAn (Fig. 4e and 4h) can be in the form of parallel rails SNEi to SNEn , with a lock FB 1 to FBn for the individual flaps either on the rails SNEi to SNEn (Fig. 4h ) or on the flaps KLAn (Fig. 4e) or on elements connecting rails and flaps. The locking mechanism can be designed as displaceable rails SNEXi to SNEXn and SNEY 1 to SNEYn , offset by 90 ° in coordinates (Fig. 4f, 4g, 4n), with any row of flaps to be locked in ^ coordinates KLAn of the compartments Fn, the simultaneous release of all lying in this row and actuated by the corresponding in ^ -direction locking mechanisms VRA "can take place and at the same time for any row of the flaps arranged in ^ -coordinates KLAn of the compartments Fn the simultaneous release of all Lying in this row and actuated by the corresponding y-direction locking mechanisms VR can track. The coincidence of the release of the lock at a crossing point is a condition for the release of any selectable, to be released by the lock flap KLA 1 to KLAn of the compartments Fl to Fn. The rails SNEXi to SNEXn and SNEYi to SNE Yn (F i g. 4f to 4n) the locking mechanisms can be designed in any geometric arrangement.

The two locking mechanisms of a flap to be locked KLAn of the compartments Fn , arranged at the crossing points of the rails SNEX i to SNEXn and SNEYi to SNEYn , can be separated ^ F ig, 4f ·. 4j _: 4k) or in a common combined mechanism (Fig. 4g, 41.4m, 4n).

The locking mechanisms can be used as sliding locks (FIGS. 4e and 4h), as a rotary lock (Fig. 4j) or as a lifting lock (Fig. 4m and 4n).

The coincidence of the locking mechanisms can be established in that the rotational movement of the as a twist lock (F i g. 4j) designed locking mechanism can only take place if this one Lifting movement preceded by a lock designed as a lifting lock (FIGS. 4m and 4n) is

The rails of the locking mechanisms can be operated electromagnetically and guided in the longitudinal or transverse dividing elements LTn or QTn or on side parts or on the base plate a- 6 (FIG. 4i). The elements for the locking can be integrated in a modular manner (easy to dismantle) with the control elements SA 1 to SAn, the display elements Lb 1 to Lbn and Lq 1 to Lqn and the plug connectors STVBn in the transverse dividing elements QTn (Figs. 4k and 41).

A labeling field SR (Fig. 4b) on which the goods

of a sorting compartment F1 to Fn can be in the immediate, easily manageable vicinity of the operating and display elements assigned to the sorting compartment.

Unlocked rotary switches DS (without stops) and numerical display elements A can be used to enter the number of digits (Fig. 3), whereby the direction of rotation is decisive for entering the sign (return or debiting of goods), and that indicated with the display The value is counted forwards or backwards by stepping forward or backward using the DS rotary switch, with such a rotary switch being available for each decade.

By incrementally advancing the rotary switch DS ( Fig. 3), pulses are generated which increment a counting step, the outputs of which are equivalent to the entered value. The direction of rotation also determines whether the counting stage counts up or down.The pulses for incrementing the counting stage can be generated by a debouncing circuit, not shown, whose inputs are at the connections of the rotary switch DS , the debouncing circuit using monostable multivibrators and / or bistable Toggle stages, which are reset by the toggle stages of the adjacent switch positions (connections), is formed. The outputs of the debounce circuit are preferably at the inputs of a parallel series shift register, with an indicator continuously determining whether the output signal of this shift register is moving ahead or behind a defined bit, and thereby the detection signal (corresponds to the direction of rotation of the rotary switch DS ) is generated for up-down counting of the counting stage and every change in the output signal (in terms of time) compared to the defined bit causes an incremental pulse for the counting stage.

The wiring and switching arrangement for controlling the operating elements, which are connected to receiving elements AST (Fig. 2a, 3 to 4a), and the rails of the locking mechanism with their movement devices (magnets) can be installed in the base plate (rear wall Fig. 2a) or can also be accommodated in the side walls in the cavity of a double wall (FIG. 4i, FIG. 15). Power supply and data and control lines K 1 to Kn can be accommodated in one or both guide rails of the side walls ( FIG . 3), whereby cables and / or sliding contacts SKont (FIG. 3) and / or can be rolled up as electrical conductors Live ball bearing slide rails Kl and K 2 (Fig. 15) can be used.

The F i g. 5 shows an expedient arrangement of the elements in a crossbar distributor, in which the magnets mx 1 to mxn and my 1 to myn for the locking mechanism can also be connected. FIG. 5 also shows an embodiment of a usable data transmission system. The switching elements Sa 1 to San assigned to the sorting compartments are, as in FIG. 5, 6 and 14 show, connected to the intersection points of one or more crossbar distributors, their coordinate rails each by means of a selection device W 1 and W Xa for the jf coordinates (FIGS. 5 and 6) and by means of a selection device W2 and W 2a for the y-coordinates (Figs. 5 and 6) are controlled. One of the two coordinate selection devices WX or W2 in FIG. 5 or WXa, W \ b or W2a, W2b in FIG. 6 can be formed by a decoder or by a binary addressable multiplexer device. The coordinate selection devices WX, W2 (FIG. 5) or Wia, W2 a (FIG. 6) are controlled by a counter Z1, Z 2. One of the coordinates of the crossbar distributor (Fig. 5, 6, 14) contains a rail, the rails of the other coordinate being controlled by means of a selection device.

The operating elements Sa 1 to San connected to the crossing points of the crossbar distributor (or also several crossbar distributors) are connected in series with an optical display element (with Ln in FIG. 14).

The counters ZX, Z2, which control the selection devices W \ and W2 (FIG. 5), Wla and W2a (FIG. 6), can be loaded externally (via data transmission device) and both externally and through a switching contact SK (FIG 3 and 4) are reset.

The magnets mx 1 to mxn and my 1 to myn (FIG. 5) of the locking rails of the locking device can be controlled by the matrix lines of the selector device Wi, W2 of the crossbar distributor. A signal common to the common rails of the selector devices Wl and W2 (Fig. 5) of the crossbar distributor and the actuated control element (e.g. Sa 1 to San) causes the counter readings of the two coordinate counters Z1 and Z 2 to be transferred to an output register REG 2 and REG 2 and the transfer of the data from the input device (s) EV to an output register REG 1.

Each coordinate rail y-Xa, Xb to y-na, nb and Ar-Ia, Ib to x-na, nb (Fig. 6) of the crossbar distributor (or several crossbar distributors) can be designed in pairs, with their paired crossing points a control element Sa 1 to San assigned to a sorting compartment and an optical display element Lb 1 to Lbn are switched separately from one another. The coordinate rails χ la to xna and y la to yna, in whose intersection points the control elements Sa X to San are switched, are each controlled with a selection device Wla or W2a , which these rails independently of the selection of the coordinate rails χ Ib to xnb and yib to ynb, in whose intersection points the optical display elements Lb 1 to Lbn are switched. In the case of the FIG. 6, the crossbar distributor shown, the coordinate selection devices WXa and W2a for the selection of the control elements Sa 1 to San, controlled by one of the counters Zl, Z2 each and the coordinate selection device WIb and W2b for the selection of the optical display elements are each controlled by a memory SPl and SP 2 whose memory content is loaded with the counter readings ζ X, ζ 2, which correspond to the control element Sa 1 to Ssn that was last operated (i to L of 5Pl and SP2). In the circuit arrangement according to FIG. 6, the memories SP1 and SP2 , which are used to control the selection device WXb and W2b , are reset with a signal that is caused by a switching contact SK , which is connected to the sorting compartment (drawer F i g. 3 and F i g. 4) can be attached and when one of the input devices is closed together

eo processing (s) EV assigned group of sorting compartments (z. B. closing the drawer) is automatically actuated and / or is actuated in the input device itself.

One of the operating elements Sa 1 to San and the selector WX and W2 (F i g. 5 and F i g. 5) and wia and W2a (Figure 6) of the matrix board, a (signal / indicator of / in F i g. 5 and 6) on a common rail S1 or S 2 (Fig. 5 or 5a) or SIa or which can be selected across all intersection points

52a (Fig. 6), which causes the transfer of the count of the counters Zl and Z 2, which advance the selection devices, to a register REG 2 and REG 3 in order to close the sorting compartment with this count ζ 1 and ζ 2 identify from which the goods were removed or returned and with this signal / also to initiate the transfer of the data assigned to this sorting compartment to an output register REG 1.

The transfer of the data of the input device EV assigned to a sorting compartment F1 to Fn in the output register REG 1 is caused by a switching signal which is generated in the input device.

The output registers REG 1 to REG 3 can either be implemented as BUS-parallel output registers with STROBE, which is derived from the transfer pulse of the register, or as a parallel / serial converter ( Fig. 5 transfer pulse / on L inputs from REG 1 to REG 3). For each group of sorting compartments to which one or more input devices EV are assigned, one or more crossbar distributors (Figs. 5, 5a, 6 and 14) can be present, with an address recognition AE (Fig. 5 , group address recognition is available), the g for detecting a group address associated with the transmission of the data REG 1 to REG 3 (Figure 5) to an all groups common bus causes the address recognition AE (F i. 5) can only be sending out data cause been if up San actuated after the last transmission of data of one of the control elements 5a 1 of the corresponding crossbar distributor is the information on whether after the last transmission of data of one of the control elements Sa 1 to San (F i g. 5) of the corresponding crossbar switch has been actuated, is indicated by a flip-flop that is switched with the two pulses "initiate transmission" and the signal / explained above. If one of the control elements Sa 1 to San of the corresponding crossbar distributor was not actuated after the last transmission of data and the circuit arrangement is initiated to send via the address recognition AE (Fig Address E (end: Fig. 7) is sent which is otherwise appended to the actual data. Furthermore, an increment of a counter present in the central device Z (Fig. 7) with address NA = next address is effected and initiated by a sent £ end (recognized with AR 1).

A send and receive bus are on a common Data path (bidirectional) carried out and the switchover from sending to receiving always takes place so that each of the in FIG. 5 and 6 circuit arrangements always automatically switches to reception after has been sent, or if there is no request to send

The in the F i g. 5 to 7 shown data transmission devices continuously query the common data line. For each data block sent on the data line, a counting stage ZS (8a) increments (with incremental address ZST, controlled by a receive register E-REG or after the indicator / determines that no data is on line B), the outputs of which control a decoder or comparator DEC , which starts a send register S-REG for a fixed decoded value, whereby the indicator 1 ensures that only one send register can start when switching on (of several sending registers of several circuit arrangements) and a reset if the data flow is interrupted for a long time (i.e. also when switching on) the counter stage ZS causes (see also Fig. 8b).
The central device Z, which registers the actuation of the operating elements Sa 1 to San of the sorting compartments (FIGS. 7 and 7a), has a device which enables the sorting compartment addresses to be assigned, whereby prior to the assignment of the assignment address of a sorting compartment, whose associated control element San is operated.

The circuit arrangements in FIGS. 7 and 7a contain transmitting and receiving devices S-REG, E-REG, 5 ″ control, a bidirectional gate control /, an address request counter ZA for advancing the request addresses, an assignment memory ZSP, which is hard-wired to the resulting from the matrix arrangement Sorting compartment addresses, according to the stored counter readings of the crossbar distributor, the code number addresses of the goods description can be programmed. Since the sorting compartments with the associated operating elements can be plugged into a grid (the matrix) and, depending on the selected size of the compartments, the associated sorting compartment addresses can also be arranged differently It is necessary to program the arrangement of the sorting compartments with the aid of a memory ADR-SP, which contains as many storage spaces as there are sorting compartment arrangement possibilities according to the given grid, by means of programming. The central facility Z (F i g. 7 and 7a) contains an address memory ADR-SP, which can store all the addresses of the sorting compartments, an assignment memory ZSP, which can assign these addresses to freely programmable addresses Z-ADRE , and a device that can handle the following procedure: (see F i g . 7 and 7a)

a) Programming the sorting compartment addresses by operating the operating elements assigned to the sorting compartments in a certain order (sequence BR) and storing their addresses (in ADR-SP Fig. 7a, with switch 5 in position BE) -,

b) the address counter PR-Z of the address memory ADR-SP is incremented with each change of the data of the receiving register AD and the counter reading of the address counter is counted from a defined reset, which is initiated with a decoded reset address DEC ADR-PR ;

c) After programming the sorting bin addresses (all addresses have been written into the address memory ADR-SP) , the assignment to the freely programmable addresses is established (switch 5 in position PR) by assigning the relevant reference addresses Z-ADRE to the sorting bin addresses in the same order (sequence BR) with which they were stored when they were saved during programming (ADR-AG in ADR-SP) ;

d) Switch position BE = normal operation.

The central facility Z, which identifies the sorting compartment addresses, contains a clock U (FIG. 7) with the date, which the. with the data assigned to the input device assigns the date and possibly also the time
The facilities described above can

can also be implemented by a microprocessor circuit, which carries out further data processing or outputs the data via an interface or controls a computer or corresponding peripherals. The F i g. 5a and 5b show circuit arrangements for generating a transfer pulse for the registers assigned to the sorting compartments when only one contact is present for each of the operating elements Sa 1 to San and FIG. 5c and 5d show circuit arrangements for the immediate takeover / output (FIG. 5c) and prepared takeover / output (FIG. 5d) with a pulse generated by one of the operating elements Sa 1 to San , the register being selected during the prepared takeover , which with a common transfer signa for all registers! ESM-B \ is to take over the data from the input device EV. In each case a trunk group (X or Y) of the matrix board are (g F i. 5a-5d) in the crossing points indicators Io 1 to Ion connected responsive and to manipulation of an operating element Sa 1 to San the strobe signal for the inputs and / or output registers (registers REG F 1 to REG Fn in FIGS. 5c, 5d), which take over data directly assigned to the sorting compartments, derive from the respective indicator signal, the indicators responding to a voltage jump and / or a switching signal (temporal pulse width ) speak to. The signal emitted by the indicators Io 1 to Ion (FIGS. 5a to 5d) is fed to a storage stage, a storage stage FF (FIG Registers REG-Fn (Fig.5d) common transfer signal ESM-Bus to the register selected with indicator and storage level.

The in the F i g. The circuit arrangements shown in FIGS. 9a and 9b have the task of storing the displays of the actuated control elements until they are reset with a signal R. The control of the optical display elements Lq 1 to Lqn with the circuit arrangements of FIG. 9a and 9b is done in such a way that outputs Q 1 to Qn of a register Lq-REG with a common takeover signal (write message EMS-L from the input device EV) are set individually over several takeovers, with signals at the data inputs DX (in F i g. 9) can be changed at will in the subsequent takeovers and these can only be reset again with a signal R acting simultaneously on all outputs.

The supply voltage can be obtained from the data signal, with only two lines being used for the data signal and the supply voltage, which can be formed by sliding rails K 1 and 2 (FIG. 15) guided by ball bearings.

The power can be supplied for storage devices with sliding devices (Fig. 15) via two ball-bearing slide rails Ki, K 2, which are isolated from each other, the sliding device having a latching position in which the ball bearings provide a secure, fixed contact.

The input of the data through the input device (s) fVbzw. EVX to EVn (Fig. 1, 2a, 3, 4, 4b and 4c, 4d) only become effective if the input elements for identifying the number of items, removal code number, intended use, etc. have been activated between the last activated input and the new one are. The input elements for identifying the number of pieces, removal code number, intended use, etc. are provided with a registration key, the actuation of which corresponds to a new input.
