In a predetermined path portion of the fixed path 5, there is provided a friction-type feeding device 80 that abuts and rotates on the passive surface 25 to apply a traveling force to the moving body 20. The friction-type feeder 80 includes an induction motor 81 with a speed reducer, which is an example of a rotary drive unit, and a feed roller 82 attached to an output shaft that is taken out of the induction motor 81 in a vertical direction. The outer peripheral portion of the feed roller 82 is made of urethane, for example.

The friction-type feeding device 80 can apply a running force to the moving body 20 by causing the feed roller 82 driven and rotated to contact the passive surface 25. At this time, the friction-type feeding device 80 may be of a stationary type, or in order to obtain a more sufficient contact force, for example, the feed roller 82 is pressed against the passive surface 25 by the elastic repulsive force of a compression spring. It may be in a form to obtain.

Then, the friction type feeding device 80 is controlled
Arranged at a predetermined interval in a predetermined path portion in the middle, the arrangement pitch P is set to be longer than the entire length L of the moving body 20, that is, P> L.

The operation of the above embodiment will be described below. As shown by the phantom lines in FIGS. 2 and 6, the feed roller 82 in contact with the passive surface 25 is driven and rotated by the induction motor 81 in a predetermined path portion excluding the drying furnace 55 in the fixed path 5. By doing so, a traveling force is applied to the moving body 20 by the friction-type feeding device 80, so that the moving body 20 can be fed and run. That is, the traveling of the moving body 20 by the friction type feeding device 80 is performed by moving the feeding roller 82 to the passive surface 2 of the front frame body 22.
5 to the passive face 25 of the intermediate frame body 23 and the passive face 25 of the rear frame body 24 in this order.

At this time, when the feed roller 82 is acting on the front frame 22, the intermediate frame 23
And the rear frame body 24 is pulled and moved via the connecting device 27, and when acting on the intermediate frame body 23, the front frame body 22 is pushed and moved via the connecting device 27 and The frame body 24 of the intermediate portion is pulled and moved via the connecting device 27 and further acts on the frame portion 24 of the rear portion.
The front frame body 22 is pushed and moved via the connecting device 27.

In such a movement (running), each guided device 30 is supported and guided by both rails 12 of the rail device 11 via each supported roller 33, and each guided roller 35 is guided. It is guided in contact with the portion 12a. Thereby, the movement of the moving body 20 is performed stably without rattling or falling down.
And the loading / unloading of the transferred object W can always be performed accurately.

The traveling of the moving body 20 described above is performed intermittently at the arrangement pitch P of the friction-type feeding device 80. At this time, when the lower friction-type feeding device 80 is empty. Automatic control is performed based on detection by an appropriate detection means or the like so that intermittent feeding is performed. Then, at the position of the friction-type feeding device 80, the moving body 20 is stopped by the non-rotation of the feed roller 82 and the worker moves on the floor 1 or the main body 21 in a state where positioning is performed by appropriate positioning means. The user performs various operations on the transferred object W supported by the support unit 40.

The traveling of the moving body 20 is performed by the
The same applies to b. At that time, the curve path section 5b
Then, as shown in FIG.
3 and 24 are moved in a relatively bent posture via the longitudinal axis 28 of the connecting device 27 in a plan view.

The moving body 20 having moved along the curved path section 5b in this way reaches the entrance of the drying furnace 55, and causes the passive body 40 to enter the working path of the endless rotary feeder 60 and stop. Here, in the drying furnace 55, the endless rotary feeder 60 is operated.

That is, the driving device 63 controls the two tooth rings 6.
The chain 64 has been moved via 1 and 62. Then, the transmission body 72 that is integrally moved with the chain 64 moves from the starting end of the action path toward the passive body 40 and first abuts against the cam surface 42d of the coasting prevention body 42, and the coasting prevention body 42 Is swung upward around the horizontal pin 43 as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 4, whereby the transmission 72 passes through the coasting prevention body 42. Then, the transmission body 72 abuts on the passive surface 40a of the passive body 40 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 4, thereby moving the moving body 20 integrally.

As described above, while moving the moving body 20 in the drying furnace 55, the drying work (not shown) is performed on the transported object W supported by the support portion 40. . At that time, since only the chain 64 moves in the drying furnace 55, the endless rotation type feeding device 60 can be configured to have a feeding configuration resistant to heat and the like, and thus stable operation over a long period of time can be expected.

The transmission 72 is connected to the passive surface 4 of the passive body 40.
When the moving body 20 tries to coast (runaway) during the movement of the moving body 20 in contact with the moving object 0a, the coasting prevention body 42
The coasting prevention surface 42a of the above abuts on the transmission 72 to prevent the coasting.

When the moving body 20 reaches the outlet of the drying furnace 55, the transmission body 72 moves down with respect to the passive body 40 by, for example, forming the rail 15 of the chain guide device 14 in a downwardly inclined shape. As a result, the transmission body 72 is disengaged from the passive body 40. As a result, the feed force of the endless rotary feed device 60 is released, and thereafter, the running force is applied by the friction type feed device 80 described above.

In addition, at an appropriate place after exiting the drying furnace 55, the transported work W that has been worked is lowered from the support section 40 and a new transported article W is placed on the support section 40.
Is loaded. In this way, the moving body 20 is circulated on the fixed route 5.

In the case where an upward (or downward) curved path portion is formed in the fixed path 5 in a side view,
