and a second cylinder device 22 which is provided at the front, back, left and right positions on the upper surface of the lifting frame 18 and pushes and pulls the upper end of each holding claw 21 to move the holding claws 21 closer and farther apart, that is, to hold and release the container. There is. Each of the traveling devices 16 is connected to a rotating body 23 rotatably attached to the upper surface of the truck body 14, and a pair of front and rear connecting rods 24 that are pushed through the slit 15a of the lower flange plate 15 from the rotating body 23. a running frame 26 having a pair of left and right running wheels 25 that protrudes upward and can freely run on the upper surface of the lower flange plate 15; It is composed of an electric motor 30 that rotationally drives the running wheels 25 via a shaped chain 29, and running guide rollers 33 that are attached to the front and back positions of the upper end of the running frame 26 and are guided by a guide barrel 32 on the upper flange plate 31 side. has been done. Note that power and control signals are supplied via this traveling guide roller 33.

By the way, a large number of these transport vehicles 13 are prepared according to the number of containers B in the container train A (approximately 100 containers for minus trains), and the running and direction of each transport vehicle 13 is controlled by the central control room. given by the device,
For example, the vehicle is run in the direction of arrow C in FIG. Of course, depending on the situation, it is possible to travel in the opposite direction.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the branch line 2 includes a fixed branch line section 2a connected to the running track 1 side, and a running bogie 34 that can freely run in a direction perpendicular to each lead-in line 3. The movable branch line section 2b is arranged so that it can be connected to an arbitrary lead-in line 3, and the movable branch line section 2b
The length of the container train A is made longer than the length of the container train A in the - formation (for example, 20 cars). Therefore, by using the moving branch line section 2b on the traveling trolley 34,
A container train A on a certain lead-in track 3 can be moved onto any other lead-in track 3. In addition, the branch line 2 is provided in the same number as the traveling line 1, that is, two,
Therefore, two traveling carts 34 are also provided. In addition,
In FIG. 2, 36 is a container storage area.

Next, container cargo handling work will be explained.

First, after connecting and layering the container train from an electric locomotive to a diesel locomotive, the fixed and moving branch line sections 2a, 2
Container train A is pulled into a predetermined lead-in track 3 via the lead-in track 3. Next, the holding device 12 of each conveyor bogie 13 that is guided and waited on the lead-in rail 11a above the lead-in track 3 is activated to hold the container train A.
The upper containers B are held all at once (-each vehicle may be held in turn) and lifted up to a predetermined height. Of course, the number of transport platforms TrL13 is on standby equal to the number of containers B loaded on the container train A. This lifted container B is moved to the lead-in rail 11a of the predetermined loading/unloading yard 5 via the connecting rail 11b according to a travel command for the transport vehicle 13 from the central control room, and then placed on the container loading platform 8. The truck is then lowered to a predetermined handling platform 35 of the truck terminal 6 by a forklift.
It is placed on top and sorted.

On the other hand, when loading containers B onto an empty container train A, a large number of transport vehicles 13, which have been kept waiting in advance with loading containers B held on the lead-in rail 11a of the loading/unloading yard 5, are loaded with empty containers. The containers B are moved to the lead-in rail 11a above the container train A, and loaded onto the empty container train A all at once. When loading is completed, the diesel locomotive is transferred to the running track 1, which is the arrival/departure line, via the moving and fixed branch line sections 2b and 2a, and then connected again from the diesel locomotive to the electric locomotive and transported to the predetermined destination. It will be departed for.

By the way, in the above explanation, when loading container B onto empty container train A, container B is loaded from loading/unloading yard 5.
However, for example, container B can also be loaded from the same cargo handling yard 4.

That is, a large number of transport vehicles 13 holding containers B are made to stand by on the lead-in rail 11a on another lead-in track 3, and an empty container train B is temporarily transferred to one of the running vehicles 3.
4 to the moving branch line section 2b. Then, the traveling bogie 34 is driven to a position corresponding to the lead-in track 3 holding and waiting the container B, and the empty container train A is moved onto the lead-in track 3 and the container B is loaded thereon.

Furthermore, by using the other running bogie 34, it is possible to pull in another container train A or pull it out onto the running track 1 at the same time. In this way, a part of the branch line that is directly connected to each lead-in track 3 is provided on the running bogie 34, and by the running movement of this running bogie 34, each lead-in track 3 is connected directly to each lead-in track 3.
Since the diagonal section (a section in Fig. 6) which was conventionally required at each branch section is no longer necessary, the entire equipment can be shortened.

Effects of the Invention According to the above-described configuration of the present invention, a transport carriage having a container holding device is provided so as to be freely movable via a guide rail between a container cargo handling yard and a container loading/unloading yard. Containers can be held all at once on a transport vehicle and moved to the container loading/unloading yard.Therefore, there is no need to directly load and unload one by one onto a forklift as in the past, significantly reducing work time. In addition to this, the spacing between lead-in tracks can be narrowed, so a vast site is not required. In addition, the lead-in track side of the branch line is placed on the running bogie and can be connected to each lead-in track, so there is no need to lay the branch line diagonally as in the past, further saving space. can be achieved.
