Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the burden of a worker when a battery is replaced in an automatically guided vehicle. CONSTITUTION:Two sets of battery stations A, B, equipped with chargers 7A, 7B and battery transfer roller groups 8A, 8B, are installed oppositely on the opposite sides of a battery replacing position 5. Motor-in rollers incorporating motors are partially employed in the battery transferring roller groups 8A, 8B and battery carry-in/out roller group 4 for an automatically guided vehicle 1, and a cable 10 for feeding power to the motor of the automatically guided vehicle 1 is provided in one battery station A. The motor-in rollers in the battery transfer roller groups 8A, 8B and the battery carry-in/out roller group 4 are then driven with the automatically guided vehicle 1 being stopped at the battery replacing position 5 to unload a battery 3A at an empty battery station. A charged battery 3B is then loaded at the other battery station thus replacing the battery.
