Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a golf bag transport vehicle device in which a golf bag transport vehicle runs forward and backward on a rail provided at a golf course, and is installed from a position near the front of a clubhouse to a position near the entrance of a golf course, for example. This device is suitable for a device that allows a transport vehicle for transporting golf bags to travel forward and backward between a transport vehicle hangar and a transport vehicle hangar.

Due to the recent shortage of golf bags, golf bag transport vehicles have been developed that run on rails laid along golf courses and loaded with golf bags. Figure 1 shows a typical example. In the figure, 1 is a rail installed along the course of a golf course, and 2 is a golf bag carrier that runs astride the rail. The transport vehicle 2 is configured to be self-propelled by a battery mounted on the transport vehicle 2. Reference numeral 3 denotes a bag holder installed at an angle in front of the transport vehicle 2, 4 and 5 refer to putter cases attached to the bag holder 3, and 6 and 6 designate a rear collision prevention device protruding from the front of the transport vehicle 2. stopper, 7
8 is a start switch provided at the rear of the transport vehicle 2; 9 is a stop switch installed in parallel with the start switch 8;
0 is a switch for switching whether to move the transport vehicle 2 forward or backward.

On the other hand, in order to automatically stop the golf bag transport vehicle 2 at a predetermined location on the golf course, for example near the teeing ground or green, a station is provided close to the rail 1, and a detection device provided with this station on the transport vehicle 2 is provided. Depending on the detection, the transport vehicle 2 is configured to stop at that location.

The purpose of the present invention is to allow a golf bag carrier having such a configuration to travel safely between two predetermined points on the rail without overrunning the two points when traveling forward or backward. .

FIG. 2 schematically shows the device of the present invention, in which stations 11 and 12 are provided on both sides of a rail 1 on which a transport vehicle 2 runs. Of these stations 11 and 12, one 11 is provided at a place where the transport vehicle 2 traveling forward is to be stopped, for example, on one side of the rail 1 near the front of the clubhouse, and constitutes a forward station. The other station 12 is provided on the other side of the rail 1 at a location where the vehicle 2 traveling in reverse should be stopped, for example, near the entrance of a vehicle hangar located near the entrance of a golf course. It constitutes a reversing station. In addition, the length of each of these forward and reverse stations 11 and 12 in the longitudinal direction of the rail 1 is the distance from when the transport vehicle 2 starts stopping operation depending on the presence of each station 11 and 12 until it completely stops. is equal to or greater than. Reference numerals 13 and 14 denote a forward station switch and a reverse station switch provided on the transport vehicle 2, respectively, which contact the forward station 11 and the reverse station 12 to stop forward travel and reverse travel.

Figure 3 shows the drive circuit of the transport vehicle 2.
Reference numeral 5 denotes a tower-mounted battery, which is connected to a run/stop control relay coil 16 and a direction control relay coil 17 via a start switch 8 and a stop switch 9. Forward and reverse station switches 13 and 14 are connected in parallel to the running/stopping control relay coil 16, and one side of the changeover switch 10 is also connected thereto. Further, the direction control relay coil 17 is also connected to the other side of the changeover switch 10. Further, the run/stop relay contact 18 switches whether the drive motor 19 of the carrier vehicle 2 is connected to the battery 15 or to the braking resistor 20. The direction control relay contacts 21, 21 are associated with the motor 19 and change the direction of rotation of the motor 19, that is, the forward or backward movement of the transport vehicle 2.

Let us now consider a case where the forward/reverse changeover switch 10 is turned to the forward direction. FIG. 3 shows this case. One side of the changeover switch 10 is connected to the forward station switch 13 side, and the other side is connected to the direction control relay coil 1.
It is on the side that supplies electricity to 7. When the start switch 8 is turned on, current flows through the run/stop control relay coil 16, connects the run/stop relay contact 18 to the battery 15, and energizes the motor 19 to rotate forward, causing the carrier vehicle 2 to start forward. do. When the forward station switch 13 comes into contact with the forward station 11 in this state, the switch 13 becomes open and the run/stop relay contact 18 is switched to the braking resistor 20 side, and the motor 1
The electric brake according to step 9 is applied and the transport vehicle 2 is stopped. At this time, the forward station 11 is set to a distance equal to or greater than the stopping distance of the transport vehicle 2, so if the forward station 11 is stopped by the forward station 11 and the start switch 8 is operated again, the transport vehicle 2 does not start forward.

On the other hand, in such a case, when the forward/reverse switch 10 is switched to the reverse side, the running/stopping control relay coil 16 is connected to the battery 15 via the closed reverse station switch 14, and the start switch is switched on. 8, the run/stop relay contact 18 is turned ON, and the motor 19, which is rotating in the reverse direction, is energized, and the transport vehicle 2 starts in reverse.

As is clear from the above description, the present invention provides stations that act when moving forward and backward, respectively, at two desired locations that define the section of the rail on which the golf bag transport vehicle runs, and a switch that switches between forward and reverse movement of the transport vehicle. Switching is performed in conjunction to determine which station is enabled, and the length of the rail in the longitudinal direction of each station is changed from when the golf bag transport vehicle starts stopping operation depending on the presence of the station until it completely stops. Since the station is characterized by a distance equal to or greater than , it is impossible to restart a transport vehicle that has stopped due to the presence of the station, and there is a risk of runaway accidents due to incorrect operation. There is no
A safe driving condition can be obtained.
