Description

  The present invention relates to a cleaning device for a rail traveling device cleaning jig that cleans a cleaning jig attached to a rail traveling device used in various places such as a factory and a distribution center.

  In various business fields and commodity fields, various things such as parts, products, parts, instruments and tools are transported in factories and distribution centers. These are transported from one place to another within a factory or distribution center as needed for manufacturing or delivery.

  At this time, in the factory or delivery center, rails (convex rails, concave (groove-shaped) rails, etc.) are laid along the transport route. The traveling equipment for transportation travels on the laid rails to convey necessary parts and products. When the rail is laid from the point A to the point B, the traveling equipment travels on the rail from the point A to the point B to transport the parts and products.

  As traveling equipment, there are various ones such as a transport device, a crane, an electric cart, a traverser, a track cart and the like. These travel on the laid rails and carry the necessary parts and products. Such rail travel devices are active in various ways in factories and distribution centers. Of course, the same is true not only inside the building but also outside.

  When such a rail traveling device travels along a rail, dust may be accumulated on or inside the rail. In the factory or distribution center, when the powder is generated by its nature, the powder may adhere to the rail and be deposited as dust. Alternatively, when the rail travel device travels along the rails, the wheels and rails of the travel device may be scraped off. The scraped powder may be deposited as dust.

  The accumulation of debris on the rails adversely affects the travel of the rail travel equipment. For example, a rail traveling device may slip, which may lead to a delay at the time of start or acceleration. Alternatively, there may be a slip during deceleration or stop. When such a problem arises, the ability to transport parts and products by the rail traveling equipment is impaired. There is also an adverse effect on the transport accuracy.

  Or, it leads to causing a failure or failure of the rail traveling device itself. In addition, there is a possibility that the wear of the rails and the wheels may be advanced to impair the life and the durability.

  In addition, the accumulation of dust on the rails causes a problem of reducing the degree of hygiene at the factory or distribution center where the rails are laid. For example, in a factory where internal sanitation is required (for example, a clean room or a food factory), it is not preferable that dust is deposited on the rails. This is because the dust accumulated on the rails may be scattered inside the factory as the rail traveling equipment travels or due to another factor.

  As described above, in factories and distribution centers where rail travel devices for transporting parts, products and the like are used, there is a concern about problems caused by the accumulation of dust (including adhesion) on the rails.

  Under such circumstances, there has been proposed a technique for attaching a brush or the like to clean the rail during traveling in equipment for transporting an article along the rail (for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, Patent Document 3, Patent Reference 4).

JP-A-5-162990 JP-A 5-7851 JP, 2015-205759, A JP 2003-118826 A

  Patent Document 1 relates to an elevating and conveying apparatus in which the elevating carriage 5 is guided along the post 3 via a guide roller 18 fitted in a grooved rail portion 16 formed in the post 3. An elevating and conveying apparatus characterized in that a cleaning tool 25 for cleaning the inside of the concave groove rail portion 16 of the support 3 is attached is disclosed.

  In Patent Document 2, a vertical brush 22 and a horizontal brush 23 are brought into pressure contact with the transport device 10 for transporting a plurality of long guide rails 4 and the cleaning surface of each guide rail 4 transported by the transport device 10. Disclosed is a long object cleaning facility comprising a work cleaning device 20 for removing scraps of the guide rail 4 and a waste collection device 30 for recovering the waste scraps dropped by the work cleaning device 20. Do.

  Patent Document 3 includes guide rails 31 and 32 extending in a transport direction laid in a casing 21, a carriage 41 moving along the guide rails 31 and 32, carriage moving means for moving the carriage 41, and carriage 41. The cleaning head 51, 51a mounted on the transport path 1 and the guide rails 31, 32 and the hose 36 for supplying the air from the outside of the casing 21 to the cleaning head 51, 51a reciprocate and carry. Disclosed is a vibration transfer device capable of quickly cleaning powder particles adhering to a path during transfer and ensuring a long durable life of the cleaning means.

  Patent Document 4 is a hanging and conveying apparatus including a trolley 5 traveling on traveling rails 1a and 1b and a carrier for supporting an article supported by the trolley 5. The trolley 5 includes an upper surface of the traveling rails 1a and 1b. A hanging and conveying device is disclosed in which the brush 19 for cleaning the cleaning object is attached and the receiving member 20 for the cleaning falling object is disposed at a position corresponding to the brush 19 below the traveling rails 1a and 1b.

  Each of patent documents 1-4 discloses the art provided with cleaning jigs, such as a brush and a removal tool, in the run equipment which runs a convex rail and a slot-like rail. By providing this cleaning jig, these cleaning jigs automatically clean the rail when the traveling equipment for transportation travels along the rail (planar direction, vertical direction, etc.). This prevents debris from accumulating on the rails.

  However, cleaning jigs, such as a brush and a removal tool, may become dirty themselves while cleaning along traveling. This is because dust such as powder, dust, and dust adheres to the brush and the removal tool. In the case of a brush in particular, the bristles of the brush enter and adhere to each other. As the cleaning jig for removing the dust is configured to clean while removing the dust on the rail, it is inevitable that the dust adheres to the cleaning jig itself and becomes dirty.

  If the dust adheres to the cleaning jig itself and becomes dirty, it leads to the problem that the dust adhering to the rail or the periphery of the rail from the cleaning jig is dropped. As a result, as described above, the volume of dirt and dust on the rails leads to an adverse effect on the running performance of the running equipment and the deterioration of the sanitary environment inside a plant or the like.

  In order to prevent this, it is necessary to clean the cleaning jig periodically, but there is a problem that time and cost increase. Or, at the time of regular cleaning, the traveling equipment for transportation becomes useless, which leads to problems of a decrease in operation rate and a decrease in work efficiency in a factory or distribution center. If you don't clean it, you'll get back to the problem of collecting debris on the rails.

  The patent documents 1-4 do not disclose at all the structure and examination which prevent that a refuse adheres to this cleaning jig and it gets dirty. That is, the prior art including patent documents 1-4 has a problem by the dirt of a cleaning jig.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning device for a rail traveling device cleaning jig for removing dust attached to a cleaning device for a rail traveling device when the rail traveling device travels, in view of these problems.

In view of the above problems, a cleaning device for a cleaning tool for rail traveling equipment of the present invention is a cleaning device for cleaning a cleaning jig mounted on a rail traveling equipment traveling on a rail,
The cleaning jig is provided with a vibration applying mechanism for applying special vibration,
The vibration applying mechanism is provided in a predetermined section of the rail and exhibits a function in a part of the section in which the rail travel device travels the rail,
The special vibration is larger than the vibration generated in the cleaning jig when the rail travel device normally travels on the rail.

  The cleaning apparatus for cleaning a rail traveling device according to the present invention can remove dust and the like adhering to the cleaning jig when the rail traveling device travels along a rail. As a result, while the rail travel device travels, the debris on the rail can be removed (while cleaning the rail). In addition, dust and the like attached to the cleaning jig from which the dust on the rail has been removed can be removed.

  That is, both the rails and the cleaning jig can be cleaned by traveling along the rails of the rail traveling device.

  As a result, it is possible to solve the above-mentioned problems caused by dust adhering to the cleaning jig.

  Embodiment 1

(Analysis of prior art)
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a rail traveling device traveling on a prior art rail. The rail travel device 200 travels on the rail 100, and the rail travel device 200 travels on the rail 100 to transport luggage and articles. A rail travel device 200 is used to transport a large amount of luggage and articles from one position to another, such as a factory or a delivery center.

  As described in the prior art, when the rail travel device 200 travels on the rail 100, dust may adhere to the rail 100. Depending on the characteristics of the facility where the rail travel device 200 travels, powder or dust may easily adhere, or scraped powder or dust may be generated when the rail travel device 200 travels the rail 100. It is from.

  In order to cope with the adhesion of such dust, the rail traveling device 200 according to the prior art may be provided with a brush 210. This is the configuration disclosed in the patent documents in the prior art. When the rail travel device 200 travels on the rail 100, the brush 210 contacts the surface of the rail 100. The brush 210 moves in contact with the surface of the rail 100 as the rail travel device 200 travels. As a result, the brush 210 removes the dust on the rail 100.

  However, in the configuration in which the brush 210 removes dust on the rail 100 while contacting the surface of the rail 100, the dust remains attached to the brush 210. If dust remains attached, the cleaning ability after that will be reduced. If replacement or cleaning of the brush 210 is increased to prevent this, labor, cost, labor cost, etc. will be increased.

(Overall overview)
FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a rail traveling device traveling on the rail according to the first embodiment of the present invention. A rail 100 is installed to transport luggage and articles from one location to another, such as a factory or distribution center. The rail travel device 10 travels on the rail 100.

  The rail travel device 10 includes a cleaning jig 11. The cleaning jig 11 is moved along with the movement of the rail traveling device 10 in a state provided to the rail traveling device 10. At this time, the cleaning jig 11 is in contact with the rail 100 and can apply pressure to the surface of the rail 100.

  While the rail travel device 10 travels the rail 100, the cleaning jig 11 moves in contact with the surface of the rail 100 while applying pressure to the surface. As a result, the cleaning jig 11 can clean the dust on the surface of the rail 100. At this time, since the cleaning jig 11 applies pressure to the surface of the rail 100, the pressure also returns to the cleaning jig 11 from the surface of the rail 100.

  The cleaning device 1 for the rail traveling device cleaning jig is provided on a part of the rail 100. The rail 100 includes a travel section 101 (a section in which the wheels 12 of the rail travel device 10 travel) in which the rail travel device 10 travels. Furthermore, the rail 100 includes a predetermined section 102 in which the rail travel device 10 does not travel (a section in which the wheels 12 of the rail travel device 10 do not travel).

  The cleaning device 1 for the rail traveling device cleaning jig (hereinafter abbreviated as “cleaning device 1” as necessary) includes a vibration applying mechanism 2. The vibration applying mechanism 2 is provided in a predetermined section 102. Furthermore, the vibration applying mechanism 2 exerts its function in a partial section of the section in which the rail traveling device 10 travels the rail 100.

  The vibration applying mechanism 2 applies special vibration to the cleaning jig 11. The vibration applying mechanism 2 applies special vibration to the cleaning jig 11 in a predetermined section 102 of the rail 100. This state is shown in FIG. Here, the special vibration is larger than the vibration generated in the cleaning jig 11 when the rail travel device 10 travels the rail 100 normally (when the travel section 101 travels). That is, the vibration applying mechanism 2 applies, to the cleaning jig 11, a special vibration that is larger than the vibration generated in the cleaning jig 11 when the rail traveling device 10 travels in the traveling section 101 of the rail 100.

  By applying the large special vibration to the cleaning jig 11, the dust adhering to the cleaning jig 11 is removed. It is because it is shaken off by vibration. The vibration applying mechanism 2 is provided in the predetermined section 102, and the cleaning jig 11 always moves in the predetermined section 102 when the rail travel device 10 travels the rail 100. For this reason, when the rail travel device 10 repeatedly travels the rail 100, the vibration applying mechanism 2 applies special vibration to the cleaning jig 11 without fail.

  As a result, when the rail travel device 10 travels on the rail 100, in the travel section 101, the cleaning jig 11 cleans the dust on the surface of the rail 100. Dust adheres to the cleaning jig 11 by this cleaning. On the other hand, in the predetermined section 102, a special vibration is applied to the cleaning jig 11. The extra vibration removes the attached dust.

  If the cleaning jig 11 can reach the predetermined section 102 even if the wheels 12 do not reach the predetermined section 102, the cleaning jig 11 is always given a special vibration. Since it is only necessary to adjust the positional relationship between the rail 100, the traveling section 101, the predetermined section 102, the vibration applying mechanism 2, the wheel 12, and the cleaning jig 11, the rail traveling device 10 travels the rail 100. There is always a section where the cleaning jig 11 is given a special vibration.

  In this manner, when the rail travel device 10 travels on the rail, the cleaning jig 11 is subjected to the special vibration. As a result, the dust attached to the cleaning jig 11 in the traveling section 101 is removed (in whole or in part) by special vibration. As a result, while the rail travel device 10 travels, the dust attached to the cleaning jig 11 can be removed while the dust on the rail 100 is also cleaned.

  Since the dust adhering to the cleaning jig 11 can be removed during traveling, the problem caused by the cleaning jig 11 becoming too dirty is solved.

  Next, details and variations of each part will be described.

(Vibration application mechanism: separation)
The vibration applying mechanism 2 preferably has a configuration in which the cleaning jig 11 is separated from the surface of the rail 100. In FIG. 2, the vibration applying mechanism 2 is a notch provided in the rail 100. In the section of the notch, the cleaning jig 11 is separated from the surface of the rail 100.

  When the cleaning jig 11 is separated from the surface of the rail 100, the pressure applied to the surface of the rail 100 by the cleaning jig 11 is released. By the release (change) of the pressure, a large vibration is applied to the cleaning jig 11. This large vibration is a special vibration. The extraneous vibration removes the dust adhering to the cleaning jig 11.

  In addition, the cleaning jig 11 is suspended when the cleaning jig 11 is separated from the surface of the rail 100. The hovering condition makes it easy for the attached dust to fall off. In addition to this point, the dust adhering to the cleaning jig 11 is removed.

(Vibration application mechanism: Recess)
The vibration applying mechanism 2 preferably has one or more recesses provided on the surface of the rail 100 in the predetermined section 102 of the rail 100. FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a vibration applying mechanism in the first embodiment of the present invention.

  A state in which the recess 21 is provided in the predetermined section 102 of the rail 100 is shown in FIG. Due to the provision of the recess 21, (1) a large special vibration is applied to the cleaning jig 11, and (2) the cleaning jig 11 separates from the surface of the rail 100.

  The dust adhering to the cleaning jig 11 is removed by these two actions. This is because the shaking-down due to vibration and the fall due to separation are combined. In FIG. 3, although the recessed part 21 is provided with two or more, a single recessed part may be sufficient.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the recess 21 may be a complete notch 22. FIG. 4 is a side view of a vibration applying mechanism provided with a notch according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The state which looked at a part of rail 100 from the side is shown.

  The vibration applying mechanism 2 is provided in the predetermined section 102. The vibration applying mechanism 2 has a notch 22. Due to the notch 22, a large special vibration is applied to the cleaning jig 11, and (2) the cleaning jig 11 separates from the surface of the rail 100. The dust adhering to the cleaning jig 11 is removed by these two actions.

  Unlike the recess 21, the notch 22 has the merit of being easy to provide in the rail 100.

(Vibration application mechanism: Oblique recess)
FIG. 5 is a schematic view of an oblique recess in the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the rail 100 is viewed in the extending direction, and the lateral direction in FIG. 5 is the width direction of the rail 100. Moreover, a part of the rail 100 is cut out and shown. It is also preferable that the recess 21 be oblique to the width direction of the rail 100. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the recess 21 is oblique.

  The bottom surface 210 of the recess 21 is oblique to the width direction of the rail 100. Since the bottom surface 210 is oblique, the dust thrown off from the cleaning jig 11 by the recess 21 is not easily accumulated in the recess 21.

  In addition, since the bottom surface 210 of the recess 21 is oblique along the width direction of the rail 100, the dust that has fallen in the recess 21 is likely to fall out of the rail 100. As a result, there is an advantage that the time for cleaning inside the recess 21 is reduced.

(Vibration application mechanism: area of recess)
The recess 21 provided in the vibration applying mechanism 2 may be provided only in a part of the rail 100 in the width direction. FIG. 6 is a front view of the rail in the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 shows the rail 100 viewed from above.

  The rail 100 is provided with a vibration applying mechanism 2. The vibration applying mechanism 2 includes a recess 21 provided in the rail 100. Here, the recess 21 is provided only in a partial range in the width direction of the rail 100. In other words, it does not extend to the entire width of the rail 100.

  Although a plurality of recesses 21 are provided in FIG. 6, each of the plurality of recesses 21 is only in a partial range in the width direction of the rail 100. Moreover, in FIG. 6, the several recessed part 21 is provided alternately.

  By being alternately, the width direction of the cleaning jig 11 can be cleaned alternately, and the cleaning capability of the cleaning jig 11 is enhanced.

  Thus, the rail travel device 10 can also travel on the vibration applying mechanism 2 having the recess 21 by providing the recess 21 only in a part of the rail 100 in the width direction. In this case, a part of the predetermined section 102 may be a section where the rail travel device 10 travels.

  Moreover, the special vibration added to the cleaning jig 11 becomes a non-uniform | heterogenous vibration because it becomes only a part of width direction. Due to the non-uniform vibration, the dust adhering to the cleaning jig 11 is more likely to be dropped.

(Vibration application mechanism: Width of recess is different)
FIG. 7 is a front view of the rail in the first embodiment of the present invention. Similar to FIG. 6, FIG. 7 shows the rail 100 viewed from above.

  The vibration applying mechanism 2 has a plurality of recesses 21. It is also preferable that the widths of the plurality of recesses 21 be different. In FIG. 7, the widths of the lengths along the direction of the rail 100 are different. Alternatively, the widths along the width of the rail 100 may be different.

  Thus, the special vibration applied to the cleaning jig 11 is likely to be uneven due to the different widths of the plurality of recesses 21. As a result, the dust adhering to the cleaning jig 11 is easily dropped. Further, in addition to the non-uniform vibration, the width of the vibration also changes, so that the dust attached to the cleaning jig 11 is easily dropped.

  In addition, the recessed part 21 may extend to the whole of the height direction of the rail 100, and may extend to only a part. That is, the depth of the recess 21 may also be uneven.

(Vibration application mechanism: Oblique recess)
FIG. 8 is a front view of the rail in the first embodiment of the present invention. Similar to FIGS. 6 and 7, the rail 100 is seen from above. Also in FIG. 8, a part of the rail 100 is provided with the vibration applying mechanism 2. The vibration applying mechanism 2 includes a recess 21. Here, the recess 21 is oblique to the width direction of the rail 100.

  FIG. 8 shows a state in which the recess 21 is oblique.

  Since the recess 21 is oblique, the nonuniformity of the special vibration is enhanced. In addition, as compared with the length of the predetermined section 102 in the rail 100, there is also a merit that the time during which the special vibration is applied is longer. As a result, the dust attached to the cleaning jig 11 is easily dropped. In addition, even if the recess 21 is oblique, the rail traveling device 10 can travel on the rail 100 by appropriately setting the oblique angle.

  In addition, since the time for applying the special vibration is long, the cleaning time for the dust attached to the cleaning jig 11 is also long, and the dust can be removed surely.

(Cleaning jig)
The cleaning jig 11 preferably has a brush form or a plate form. By having such a form, when the rail travel device 10 travels the rail 100, the surface of the rail 100 can be flexibly contacted. By contacting flexibly, the cleaning jig 11 can apply appropriate pressure to the surface of the rail 100.

  By applying this appropriate pressure, the cleaning jig 11 can remove dust on the surface of the rail 100.

  Further, by having flexibility, in the vibration applying mechanism 2 provided on the rail 100, the cleaning jig 11 easily vibrates or deforms. The dust attached to the cleaning jig 11 is likely to fall off due to the ease of vibration and deformation.

(Predetermined section)
The predetermined section 102 is basically a section in which the wheels 12 of the rail travel device 10 do not travel. When the wheel 12 does not travel, an adverse effect on traveling due to the concave portion 21 or the like (or a convex portion described later) is prevented.

  At this time, even if the wheel 12 does not travel in the predetermined section 102, the cleaning jig 11 can reach the predetermined section 102 as long as the cleaning jig 11 is outside the position of the wheel 12. If the cleaning jig 11 can reach the predetermined section 102, the vibration applying mechanism 2 can clean the cleaning jig 11.

(rail)
The rail 100 is convex or concave. The rail traveling device 10 can travel on the rail 100 by being in any form. Since the rail 100 is convex, the rail travel device 10 can travel on the rail 100. Since the rail 100 is concave, the rail travel device 10 can travel with the wheels 12 fitted in the rail 100.

  Further, the rail 100 may be in the planar direction or in the vertical direction. By being laid in the plane direction, the rail travel device 10 can move along the plane direction to carry luggage and articles. Alternatively, by the rail 100 being installed in the vertical direction, the rail travel device 10 can move along the vertical direction to carry luggage and articles.

  As described above, the cleaning device 1 according to the first embodiment can also clean the cleaning jig 11 provided in the rail travel device 10. As a result, the cleaned cleaning jig 11 can repeat the cleaning of the rail 100.

  Second Embodiment

  Next, the second embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a side view of the rail in the second embodiment of the present invention. The state of the side of rail 100 with which cleaning device 1 explained in Embodiment 1 is provided is shown. The vibration applying mechanism 2 in the second embodiment includes one or more convex portions 25 provided on the surface of the rail 100.

  The vibration applying mechanism 2 can provide the cleaning jig 11 with a special vibration by providing the convex portion 25. This special vibration is larger than the vibration in the case where the cleaning jig 11 cleans the surface of the rail 100 by traveling in the traveling section 101. In addition, the vibration also becomes uneven, and the dust adhering to the cleaning jig 11 is easily dropped.

  In the case of the convex portion 25, the cleaning jig 11 is easily shaken back and forth, and the attached dust is easily dropped. In addition, there is an advantage that it is easy to configure on the rail as compared with the recess 21.

  The cleaning jig 11 contacts the convex portion 25 to cause vibration, shaking and the like. In addition, deformation also occurs. By these, the refuse adhering to the cleaning jig 11 is removed, and the cleaning jig 11 can be used repeatedly.
