Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a truck system, and more particularly to a truck system capable of controlling a truck by manually operating a terminal. [Prior Art] A conventional transportation vehicle system has a plurality of station units and a plurality of transportation vehicles that carry articles between a plurality of station units. Loading between the station and the truck (loading the item from the station to the truck) and unloading (moving the item from the truck to the station). The control system of the truck system has, for example, a manufacturing controller, a flow controller, a storage controller, and a truck controller. The manufacturing controller will accept the handling requirements from the processing unit. The logistics controller is the same controller as the manufacturing controller, but a controller that is higher than the storage controller and the truck controller. The logistics controller sends various commands to φ to the storage controller and the truck controller. The repository controller sends the outbound instructions to the repository. The truck controller sends the transport command to the truck. 〇 As a terminal for manual operation, an example is the use of a remote controller. The remote controller can communicate with the truck wirelessly. The operator can perform an operation such as stop, start, and various setting changes of the transport vehicle by the remote controller (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [Patent Document 1] -5-201022108 Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2000-1539905 [ SUMMARY OF INVENTION [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] Generally, in order to ensure safety, the remote control operation is in the vicinity of the operator, and It is carried out in a state in which the truck is defined. On the other hand, in the transport vehicle system, it is used for the safety of the operator to prevent entry into the fence, and it is prohibited to enter the rail area of the transport vehicle from the outside. Therefore, in order to operate the truck, the operator needs to enter the track area from the entrance and exit preventing the entry barrier, and then move to the vicinity of the truck. However, the truck system is usually operated automatically, so in the case of remote control operation, the system needs to be stopped. As a result, the handling efficiency of the system is reduced. On the other hand, when there is a problem with the transport vehicle, there is a case where it is not necessary to stop the entire system, and it is only necessary to control the transport vehicle. For example, a case where the operation state is confirmed or a simple operation such as abnormal resetting is performed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a transport vehicle system that can ensure the safety of an operator without stopping the system, and can manually operate the transport vehicle. [Means for Solving the Problem] The transport vehicle system of the present invention includes an operation terminal, a communication device, and a transport vehicle. The operator terminal can be operated manually. The communication device can be operated by the operating terminal. The transport vehicle is different from the communication equipment and has: -6- 201022108 A first communication unit that can communicate with the operation terminal via the communication device, and a second communication unit that can directly communicate with the operation terminal. In this system, the operator can operate the communication device by using the operation terminal in order to control the truck, thereby enabling the communication device to communicate with the first communication portion of the truck. Therefore, the operator does not need to be too close to the truck, and the truck can be safely controlled even in a state where the system is automatically operated. Since the second communication unit of the transport vehicle can communicate with each other from the operation terminal, the operator can select a safe state and control the transport vehicle near the transport vehicle. The connection method between the operation terminal and the communication device and the communication unit can be either wired or wireless. The truck system can also be equipped with an isolated area for the truck to operate. In this case, the operating terminal cannot communicate directly with the truck outside the isolation area. The operator terminal can be connected to the communication device only outside the isolated area. In this system, the operation terminal cannot communicate directly with the truck outside the isolation area, so outside the isolation area, the operator must connect the operation terminal to the communication device to manually control the truck. The operation terminal cannot be connected to the communication device in the isolated area, so the operation of connecting the operation terminal to the communication device must be performed outside the isolation area. That is, when the operator performs manual operation via the communication device, the operator is indeed in a safe place away from the running path. Therefore, there is no need to perform security measures for manual operations. There may also be multiple trucks operating in the isolated area. In this case, when the operation terminal connected to the communication device is manually operated, the truck other than the operation object can be automatically operated. In this system, when the operation terminal 201022108 is operated using the operation terminal connected to the communication device, the entire system does not stop, so that the transportation efficiency is not easily lowered. 复 A plurality of communication devices can also be set along the operation path of the truck. In this system, the operator connects the operation terminal to a communication device that is close to the truck, and the truck is manually operated. Therefore, the operator can perform work in a safe position in the vicinity of the truck. [Effect of the Invention] The transport vehicle system of the present invention can ensure the safety of the operator without stopping the system, and the transport vehicle can be manually operated. [Embodiment] (1) Basic structure of the transport vehicle system The transport vehicle system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for operating a plurality of transport vehicles 3 on a determined track. The transport vehicle 3 is moved in a certain direction on the rail, and the article is loaded from the destination location according to the transport command assigned by the upper controller (described later), and then moved to the place where the transport target is carried, and the article is carried out to the transport destination. Place. The type of truck can be either an overhead truck, an unmanned truck that runs in a trackless manner, or a railcar. Fig. 1 is a partial plan view showing an arrangement of a transport vehicle system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The truck system 1 has a plurality of circumferential running passages 5 and a trunk running passage 7 that connects a plurality of surrounding running passages 5. The trunk running lane 7 becomes a line around the road -8 - 201022108. A plurality of processing devices 9 are provided along the surrounding operation path 5, and a plurality of storage banks 11 are provided along the trunk operation path 7. The storage 11 has a buffering function between groups of processing devices 9 that surround the running path 5. The equipment such as the processing device 9 and the storage 11 is provided with a storage port 13 for carrying the articles into the equipment, and a storage port 15 for moving the articles to the transport vehicle 3 with the slave device. The storage port 13 and the delivery port 15 can also be used together. (2) Control system of the truck system Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the control system of the truck system. The control system 19 has a manufacturing controller 21, a logistics controller 23, a storage controller 25, and a transport vehicle controller 27. Further, an area controller 28 as a lower controller of the transport vehicle controller 27 is provided. The area controller 28 relays communication between the transport vehicle controller 27 and the transport vehicle 3 existing in the jurisdiction. The flow controller 23 is a controller for the upper position of the storage control φ unit 25 and the transport vehicle controller 27. The transport vehicle controller 27 has a plurality of transport vehicles 3 that manage the plurality of transport vehicles. The "Transportation Command" contains instructions on the operation, as well as instructions on the loading position and the unloading position. The manufacturing controller 21 is capable of communicating between the processing devices 9. The processing device 9 transmits the handling request (loading request, unloading request) of the finished article to the manufacturing controller 21. The controller 21 is manufactured to transmit the handling request from the processing device 9 to the logistics controller 23. The logistics controller 23 sends a report to the manufacturing controller 21. -9- 201022108 The logistics controller 23, when receiving the transportation request from the manufacturing controller 21, transmits the inbound or outbound command to the storage controller 25 at a predetermined timing in the case of the storage or delivery of the storage 11 together. The storage controller 25 sends a storage or delivery instruction to the storage library 1 1 . When the delivery controller 23 receives the transportation request from the manufacturing controller 21, it converts it into a transportation command and performs a transportation command distribution operation for the transportation vehicle 3. The transport vehicle controller 27 continuously communicates with each transport vehicle 3 in order to create a transport command, and obtains the beauty information based on the position data transmitted from each transport vehicle 3. For example, the encoder is installed in the transport vehicle 3, and the travel distance after the passing point is transmitted from the transport vehicle 3 to the transport vehicle controller 27 as the positional information, whereby the transport vehicle controller 27 can grasp the position of the transport vehicle 3. (3) Part of the truck system Fig. 3 is a partial plan view showing a part of the truck system. A plurality of trucks 3 can be operated along the operating path 29. On both sides of the operation path 29, a barrier preventing entry barrier 31 is provided, and an inner side thereof serves as an isolation region ❹33. It is prevented from entering the fence 31, and has a height that the operator cannot easily pass. In order to prevent entry into the fence 31, an entrance 35 and a door 37 are provided at predetermined locations. When the truck 3 is automatically operated in the running path 29, the door portion 37 is automatically locked. Thereby, in the automatic operation of the transport vehicle 3, 'the operator is prevented from entering the isolation area 3 3 accidentally. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the wireless device and the operation terminal and the transport vehicle, and FIG. 5 is a display operation. Mode of the relationship between the terminal and the transport vehicle-10-201022108 As shown in Fig. 4, the transport vehicle 3' includes a wireless communication processing unit 71, an antenna 73, a CPU 75, a wired communication processing unit 76, and a connecting unit 77. The control signal received by the antenna 73 is input to the CPU 75 via the wireless communication processing unit 71. Alternatively, the control unit may input a control signal to the CPU 75 via the wired communication processing unit 76. The CPU 75 is connected to the area controller 28 via a signal line 79 (Fig. 1). The CPU 75 can control a driving device and a transfer device (not shown) in accordance with an instruction from the area controller 28. (4) Manual operation mechanism The manual operation mechanism 41 for manually operating the transport vehicle 3 will be described with reference to Figs. 4 and 5 . The manual operation mechanism 41 is composed of a plurality of communication devices 43 and operation terminals 45 provided along the operation path 29. The communication device 43 is a wireless device. As shown in Fig. 4, the communication device 43 includes a wireless communication processing unit 51, an antenna 53, a communication processing unit 55 φ, various buttons 57, and a connecting unit 59. The wireless communication processing unit 51 can transmit a radio wave from the antenna 53 based on the signal input to the connection unit 59. The communication processing unit 55 can transmit the signal to the area controller 28 based on the input signals from the various buttons 57. Further, the communication processing unit 55 can transmit a signal to the area controller 28 » communication device 43 based on the input signal from the connection unit 59, and has a push button switch 58 and a start button 60. The button switch 58 can be switched between "maintenance" and "automatic operation". When the button switch 58 is in the "maintenance" state, the various buttons 57 are operated to transmit the "-11 - 201022108 remote operation request" to the area controller 28. In the case where the push button switch 58 is in the "automatic operation" state, the operable start button 60 transmits the "automatic start request" to the area controller 28. As can be understood from the drawing, the wireless communication processing unit 51, the antenna 53, and the communication processing unit 55 are disposed in the isolation region 33. However, the various buttons 57 and the connecting portion 59 are disposed outside the isolation region 33. Thereby, the operator can operate the various buttons 57 only on the outside of the isolation area 33 or attach or detach the front end of the connection line 63 to the connection portion 59. The communication device 43 is disposed at regular intervals or at intervals within a predetermined range. Since the wireless effective radius of the communication device 43 is about 20 m (the range in which the operator can operate visually), in this embodiment, the size of the interval S of each communication device 43 is about 17 m. By setting a plurality of communication loop regions along the operation path 29, the truck 3 can be manually operated at any position of the operation path 29. The communication area (wireless communication valid range) can be enlarged when it is expected to be in good condition, or can be enlarged according to the user's needs. In the case where the track is curved or has a shield, the interval of the communication device 43 can also be reduced. The frequencies of the electric waves used in the adjacent communication areas are different. When the truck 3 enters the communication area of a different frequency, the frequency is automatically switched. According to the above, if there is a target transport vehicle 3 in the communication circuit area of the communication device 43, the operator can manually operate the transport vehicle 3 by using the communication device 43. Adjacent communication loop areas have overlapping portions. Therefore, in the case of the operator -12-201022108 manually moving the truck 3 between the communication loop areas, the operator will pause and move to the next after confirming that the truck 3 has entered the next communication loop. The communication device 43 continues the manual operation. The operation terminal 45 has a main body 61 and a connecting wire 63. The front end of the connecting wire 63 of the communication device 43 is detachably attached to the connecting portion 59. The main body 61 is provided with a liquid crystal screen 61a and various operation buttons 61b. In Fig. 4, the connection line 63 of the operation terminal 45 is connected to the connection portion 59 of the communication device 43. In this state, when the operator operates the main body 61 of the operation terminal 45, the control signal is transmitted from the antenna 53 to the transport vehicle 3 via the wireless communication processing unit 51. The control signal can also be transmitted from the communication processing unit 55 to the area controller 28. By preventing the interlock function of the door portion 37 entering the fence 31, when the operator is judged to be in the isolation area 33, the above-described remote operation function is rendered invalid. (5) Remote operation function The following describes the remote operation function (from manual operation to prevent entry outside the fence). The premise is that the plurality of trucks 3 are automatically operated in the operation path 29 in accordance with an instruction from the truck controller 27. Initially, the operator switches the key switch 58 of the communication device 43 from "automatic operation" to "maintenance". And the operator operates various buttons 57 to transmit "remote control request" to the area controller 28. The area controller 13-201022108 28 transmits the "remote control request" to the truck controller 27, and as a result, the truck controller 27 instructs the truck 3 in the communication area of the communication device 43 via the area controller 28. Automatic stop. The transport vehicle 3 is moved from the "automatic operation mode" to the "remote control wait mode" and is automatically stopped. Thereafter, the stopped truck 3 is disengaged from the command of the area controller 28, and waits for an instruction from the operation terminal 45. The transport vehicle 3 outside the communication area of the communication device 43 continues to operate automatically. The operator waits until the carriage 3 has been stopped, and connects the connection line 63 of the operation terminal 45 to the connection portion 59 of the communication device 43 as shown in Fig. 4. In this case, the remote connection becomes effective in the case where the following two conditions are met. The first condition is the interlocking closing condition of the door portion 37. In particular, the person is not in the isolated area 33, ensuring security within the object block. The second condition is to switch the button switch 58 to the "repair" side, thereby making it impossible to start automatically. The operator sets the transport vehicle 3 to the operation terminal 45 while visually checking the target transport vehicle 3. @ After this state is reached, the operator operates the operation terminal 45 to control the target transport vehicle 3. Specifically, the operator confirms the operation status or performs an abnormal reset. After the operation is completed, the operator switches the key switch of the communication device 43 from "maintenance" to "automatic operation". Further, the operator detaches the connection line 63 of the operation terminal 45 from the connection portion 59, and presses the start button 60 of the communication device 43. Thereby, the communication processing unit 55 transmits the "automatic start request" to the area controller 28, and the area controller 28 transmits the "automatic start -14 - 201022108 request" to the truck controller 27. As a result, the truck controller 27 transmits an automatic start instruction to the stopped truck 3 via the area controller 28. As a result, the stopped truck 3 moves from the "remote waiting mode" to the "automatic operation mode". Then, the stopped truck 3 is automatically operated in accordance with an instruction from the area controller 28. Fig. 5 shows a state in which the operator enters the isolation area 33 and connects the connection line 63 to the connection portion 77 of the transport vehicle 3. In this case, the operator can control the transport vehicle 3 by operating the operation terminal 45. (6) Features The transport vehicle system 1 includes an operation terminal 45, a communication device 43, and a transport vehicle 3. The operation terminal 45 can perform manual operation. The communication device 43 can be operated by operating the terminal 45. The transport vehicle 3 is different from the communication device 43. The wireless communication processing unit 71 that can communicate with the operation terminal 45 via the communication device 43 and the wired communication processing unit 76 that can communicate directly with the operation terminal 45 are In the system 1, in order to control the transport vehicle 3, the operator operates the communication device 43 by using the operation terminal 45, whereby the communication device 43 and the wireless communication processing unit 71 of the transport vehicle 3 can communicate with each other. Therefore, the operator does not need to be too close to the transport vehicle 3, and the transport vehicle 3 can be safely controlled even in a state in which the transport vehicle system 1 is automatically operated. Further, since the wired communication processing unit 76 of the transport vehicle 3 can communicate with each other from the operation terminal 45, the operator can select a safe state and control the transport vehicle 3 in the vicinity of the transport vehicle 3. The transport vehicle system 1 is further provided with an isolated area in which the transport vehicle 3 operates. -15 - 201022108 33° In this case, the operation terminal 45 cannot directly communicate with the transport vehicle 3 outside the isolated area 33. The operation terminal 45 is connectable to the communication device 43 only outside the isolation area 33. In this system, outside the isolation area 33, the operation terminal 45 cannot directly communicate with the transport vehicle 3, so outside the isolation area 33, the operator must connect the operation terminal 45 to the communication device 43 to manually control the transport vehicle 3 . The operation terminal 45 is not connectable to the communication device 43' in the isolation area 33. Therefore, the operator must connect the operation terminal 45 to the communication device 43 and must perform outside the isolation area 33. That is, when the manual operation is performed via the communication device 43, the operator is indeed away from the safe place of the operation path 29. Therefore, there is no need to perform security measures for manual operations. A plurality of trucks 3 are operated in the isolation area 33. In this case, when the operation terminal 45 connected to the communication device 43 is manually operated, the transport vehicle 3 other than the operation target can be automatically operated. In the transport vehicle system 1, when the operation terminal 45 connected to the communication device 43 performs manual operation, the entire transport vehicle system 1 does not stop, so that the transport efficiency is not easily lowered. A plurality of communication devices 43 are disposed along the operation path 29 of the transport vehicle 3. In the transport vehicle system 1, the operator connects the operation terminal 45 to the communication device 43 that is close to the transport vehicle 3, and manually operates the transport vehicle 3. Therefore, the operator can perform work in a safe position in the vicinity of the truck 3.

For example, it is also possible to stop only the object carrier. In the above embodiment, the operation terminal can communicate with the wireless device and the transportation trolley in a wired manner, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the operator terminal can also be a wireless machine with a shorter effective distance. However, in general, it is better to compare the wired and wireless methods, and the wired method is better in terms of security. The communication line can be blocked by operating the emergency stop button. In this case, the truck communicates wirelessly with the operator terminal. In the above embodiment, when the operator presses various buttons and sends a "remote control request" to the relay controller, the truck controller automatically stops the truck instruction in the communication area of the communication device, and the present invention Not limited to this. It is also possible to prevent the truck controller from automatically stopping the truck in the communication area of the communication device without using the truck controller. In the above embodiment, the main body of the communication device is disposed in the barrier preventing entry, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
