By the way, when assembly, processing, etc. at a station are performed by an unmanned device such as a robot, when the pallet 1 is stopped at the station, highly accurate positioning of the stopping position is required. Therefore, at each station, a magnet (fixed core) 4 is installed at the position where the pallet 1 should stop, and when the pallet 1 reaches the stop position, the fixed core 4 allows the magnet to be attached to the bottom surface of the pallet 1. By suctioning the movable core 5, the pallet 1 is stopped at the correct stop position. This type of stopping device includes a non-contact type in which the movable core 5 is fixed to the lower surface of the pallet 1, and the fixed core 4 is configured to attract the movable core 5 through a short period of time. The movable core 5 is attached to the lower surface of the pallet 1 via a spring member,
There is a contact type which is attached so as to be movable up and down and configured so that the movable core 5 is attracted to the fixed core 4 when stopped. However, although non-contact stopping devices have high positioning accuracy, their stopping power is weak, so if some external force is applied to the workpiece placed on pallet 1 by a robot or the like during work, , pallet 1 moves easily. On the other hand, a contact-type stopping device provides a large stopping force, but has the disadvantage of poor positioning accuracy. Therefore, conventionally, no matter which of the above-mentioned stopping devices is used, each station is provided with a forced fixing device as shown in FIG. Later, the positioning pin 6 was engaged with the positioning hole of the pallet 1 to perform final positioning and to fix the pallet 1.

However, the forced fixation device shown in FIG.
It must be provided for each station, which increases the size of the transport device and increases the cost of the device. It is also unfavorable because the number of maintenance work increases.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention has been made to provide a moving body in a conveying device that can accurately position the stopping position of a moving body such as a pallet without providing a forced fixing device, and that can obtain a large stopping force. The present invention provides a contact-type stopping device, characterized in that a tapered concave portion and a convex portion that fit into each other are formed on the adsorption surfaces of the movable core and the fixed core that constitute the electromagnetic brake. .

A belt-shaped secondary conductor 7 is attached to the bottom of the pallet 1, and the secondary conductor 7 and the stator 3 constitute a linear motor. Further, a support member 8 having a substantially Z-shaped cross section is attached to the lower surface of the pallet 1 with the secondary conductor 7 in between (see FIGS. 4 and 5).
A movable core 10 having a T-shaped cross section is supported by these supporting members 8 via leaf springs 9 . Furthermore, a trapezoidal convex portion 10a is formed on the lower surface of the movable core 10 (see FIG. 6).
On the other hand, numeral 11 is a fixed core installed below the conveyance path of the pallet 1 so as to face the movable core 10. Three protrusions 11a, 11b, and 11c are formed on the upper part of the fixed core 11, and a cable is wound around the central protrusion 11b of these three protrusions to form a coil 12. ing. Further, an inverted trapezoidal recess 11d is formed on the upper surface of the protrusion 11b to engage with the projection 10a formed on the lower surface of the movable element 10 described above (see FIG. 6). The movable core 10 and fixed core 11 constitute an electromagnetic brake.

In the above configuration, arrow A from the left side of FIG.
The pallet 1, which has been moving at high speed in the direction shown in FIG. Then, just before the pallet 1 reaches the stop position, that is, just before the fixed core 11 and the movable core 10 face each other, a position detector (not shown) is activated, and the energization to the stator 3 is stopped.
A current is supplied to the coil 12 of the fixed core 11, and the fixed core 11 is excited. When the fixed core 11 is excited, a magnetic field is generated vertically upward. When the fixed core 11 is excited, the movable core 10 is attracted by the vertical magnetic field generated by the fixed core 11, and the movable core 10 descends against the biasing force of the leaf springs 9, 9. Convex portion 10a of movable core 10
However, the movable core 10 and the fixed core 11 are in close contact with each other in a state where the movable core 10 and the fixed core 11 are fitted into the recess 11d of the fixed core 11. In this way, the pallet 1 is stopped and positioned. Here, the convex portion 10a is formed in a trapezoidal shape, and the recessed portion 11d is formed in an inverted trapezoidal shape. Therefore, when the movable core 10 is attracted, the shift in the stop position is corrected.

In this embodiment, the convex portion 10a and the concave portion 11d are formed as shown in FIG. 6, but the convex portion 10a may be formed in a truncated conical shape as shown in FIG. In this case, positioning can be performed not only in the traveling direction but also in a direction perpendicular to the traveling direction.

In addition, in this embodiment, the movable core has a convex portion,
Although the fixed cores each have a concave portion, it is of course possible to form a concave portion on the movable core and a convex portion on the fixed core. As explained above, according to the present invention, since tapered concave portions and convex portions that fit into each other are formed on the adsorption surfaces of the movable core and the fixed core that constitute the electromagnetic brake, it is not necessary to use a mechanical fixing device. Therefore, the stopping position of a moving body such as a pallet can be determined with high precision, and a large stopping force can be obtained. Moreover, movable core 1
When zero is picked up, the deviation of the stop position can be corrected.
