本発明は移動物体の停止方法及びその装置に係り、特に
反射形光電管と反射板とを使用して移動物体の減速、停
止を行う移動物体の停止方法及びその装置に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for stopping a moving object, and particularly to a moving object that uses a reflective phototube and a reflector plate to decelerate and stop the moving object. This invention relates to a stopping method and device.
従来、この種の移動物体の停止装置は、移動している物

置がその検出信号に基づいて移動物体ｌＯを停止する。In FIG. 2, the moving object 10 has a deceleration reflector 12 and a stop reflector 14 attached to the left side of the figure, and is conveyed in the direction of the arrow (downward). Further, the moving object 10
A reflection phototube 16 is disposed on the left side of the reflection phototube 16, and this reflection phototube 16 detects the reflection vi12.1 within its detection range 18.
4 is positioned so that it can be detected. Further, the reflective phototube 16 is electrically connected to a speed control device for the moving object 10 (not shown). Therefore, the speed control device decelerates the moving object IO based on the detection signal of the reflective phototube.
Can be stopped. That is, when the moving object IO moves and the reflecting plate 12 enters the detection range 18, the phototube 16 detects the reflecting plate 12, and the speed control device adjusts the moving speed of the moving object IO based on the detection signal. to slow down. Furthermore, the stop reflection plate 14 is provided within the detection range 18.
When the photocell 16 enters the reflection plate 14, the speed control device stops the moving object 10 based on the detection signal.
これによって、移動物体ＩＯの減速、停止を行うことが
できる。Thereby, the moving object IO can be decelerated and stopped.
しかしながら、この移動物体ｌＯは第２図上で矢印方向
へ移動した場合のみ減速、停止という一連の速度変化を
行うことができるが、逆方向への移動には対応すること
ができない。この問題を解決する為に、第３図に示す他

。これによって、移動物体１０を両方向に移動しても光
電管１６によって減速、停止することができる。However, this moving object IO can perform a series of speed changes such as deceleration and stopping only when moving in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2, but cannot respond to movement in the opposite direction. In order to solve this problem, another embodiment shown in FIG. 3 has been considered. In FIG. 3, the moving object 10 is provided with deceleration reflectors 12A and 12B on the left side of the figure. , and a stop reflection F
i, 14 are provided. When the upper moving object 10 is moved downward in FIG. Said reflection! 1N12B or 12A is detected, the detection signal is sent to a speed control device (not shown), and the moving object 1 above is detected.
0 or the downward moving object 10 is decelerated. Next, the decelerated upward or downward moving object 10 moves and the stop reflection plate 14 enters the detection range 18, so the phototube 16 detects the reflection plate 14 and stops the moving object IO. can. Thereby, even if the moving object 10 moves in both directions, it can be decelerated and stopped by the phototube 16.
しかしながら、第３図に示した移動物体１０では減速用
の反射板１２を２枚取付けなければならないので移動物
体ＩＯが多いときは費用がかかるという欠点がある。However, in the moving object 10 shown in FIG. 3, it is necessary to attach two reflective plates 12 for deceleration, so there is a disadvantage that it is expensive when there are many moving objects IO.
