Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a passenger car for a golf course, which is used to carry a golfer, a golf bag, etc. by traveling along a track provided along each course of the golf course.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a passenger carrier for a golf course of this kind, such as that disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-19764. The passenger transport vehicle described in the above publication has a vehicle laid along a golf course, on which a vehicle having a seat on which a golfer can sit is movably provided by a drive device. Then, the operation of this carrier was performed by a dedicated driver or a golfer who got on the carrier.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Generally, it is desirable for a carrier to be able to carry as many golfers as possible and to carry a large amount of luggage such as a golf bag.However, the driver of a conventional carrier must always be on board. I have to. Therefore, for example, when a dedicated driver gets on the vehicle, there are disadvantages that the number of golfers who can get on the vehicle is reduced and the luggage loading space is reduced. In addition, when a golfer drives, maneuvering skills are required, so it is not desirable for a golfer who is not familiar with maneuvering to operate because of safety problems.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the related art, and enables a passenger vehicle for a golf course to be operated and controlled by a passenger, and can be operated by remote control. The challenge is to be able to carry a large number of people and safely.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The technical means taken by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems is that a railroad vehicle 7 laid along a golf course B is provided with a vehicle 1 having a seat 2 at its own pace by a drive unit 4. In a passenger car for a golf course, it can be operated and stopped by riding the drive device 4, and the car 1 is driven by a signal from a transmitter 22 at a position separated from the car 1. The receiver 20 is provided so that the device 4 can be operated and stopped.

[0006]

[Action]

 In the passenger carrier for a golf course of the present invention, it is possible to arbitrarily select whether to operate the passenger carrier by riding on the passenger carrier or remotely. Therefore, if a golfer who is unfamiliar with the operation of the vehicle gets on the vehicle, the operator operates the transmitter 22 and appropriately operates and stops the drive device 4 based on the signal received by the receiver 22, thereby It will be possible to safely transport the carrier to a predetermined destination according to the play.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 is a vehicle, which is provided with a plurality of seats 2 and optionally a roof 3 and the like. Reference numerals 4 and 4a denote two drive devices arranged in the lower portion of the passenger car body 1. Each drive device 4 and 4a has a single rail 7 supported by a support rod 6 erected on a golf course B on the upper side thereof. A mounting frame 5 formed in a shape straddling from the mounting frame 5 and a driving electric motor 8 with an electromagnetic brake mounted on the mounting frame 5 are provided.

The driving electric motor 8 is formed in a pinion gear shape that meshes with a corrugated rack 12 that is provided in series on one side surface of the upper rail body 7a of the single rail 7 along the longitudinal direction thereof. The drive wheels 10 are freely rotatable, and the rotation of the drive wheels 10 allows the transport vehicle 1 to travel.

Reference numerals 13 and 13 denote support rollers arranged at the front and rear of the main body frame 5, which support the weight of the entire drive devices 4 and 4a and roll along the upper surface of the upper rail body 7a of the single rail 7. is there. Reference numerals 14 and 14 are guide rollers attached to the lower left and right sides of the main body frame 5, and prevent the vertical swing of the drive unit 4 by sandwiching the upper and lower rail bodies 7a and 7b of the single rail 7 from both sides thereof. .

As shown in FIG. 2, reference numeral 15 is a current collector provided on one side of the main body frame 5 and supported by a bracket 16, and is in sliding contact with a power supply trolley reel 17 extending along the single rail 7. This is for supplying electric power to the driving electric motor 8 and the control device 19. The operation of the electric motors 8 for driving both vehicles can be performed by the operation panel 18 provided at the front part of the carrier 1.

The control device 19 is provided at the rear part of the vehicle 1 and controls the drive motors 8 to operate or stop in response to a signal from the receiver 20. Further, the receiver 20 is adapted to receive a signal transmitted from a transmitter 22 at a remote position.

Next, first, when the driver gets on the vehicle to drive the passenger carrier A, the driver operates the operation panel 18 to stop the driver at an arbitrary position, or to move along the single rail 7. It can be driven. Further, in the case of remote operation, when the transmitter 22 is operated at a remote position of the passenger carrier A, the receiver 20 receives the signal, and the control device 19 is operated based on the signal, so that the driver gets on the vehicle. As in the case of the above, the passenger transport vehicle A on which the golfer rides can be run and transported to a predetermined target position.

In the above embodiment, the case where the two driving devices 4 and 4a are used is illustrated, but the driving device may be a single driving device. Further, the above-mentioned passenger carrier A is an example in which the driving devices 4, 4a and the seat 2 are integrally provided on the carrier vehicle 1. As shown in FIG. 4, the carrier vehicle 1 has a seat 2 and a loading space 25. And a drive vehicle 28 on which the drive device 4 for pulling the ride vehicle 26 is mounted. In this passenger carrier A, a drive vehicle 28 is provided with the control device 19 and a receiver 20.

Further, the driving means of the driving device 4 is not limited to the electric motor, and it is possible to mount an engine. When the engine is mounted, the throttle and brake device is controlled by the control device 19. Remote control can be performed by controlling the actuator. Besides, in the present invention, it is needless to say that the specific configuration of each part can be freely modified in design, and the specific configuration of the single rail 7 is not limited to the above.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 In the passenger car for a golf course of the present invention, the carrier is provided with a receiver capable of operating and stopping the drive device according to a signal from a transmitter at a position separated from the carrier. In addition to being able to operate the driver's vehicle by the driver, the driver can also operate the transmitter for remote control.

Therefore, it is not always necessary for a dedicated driver to get on the car, and many golfers, luggage, etc. can be safely transported to a predetermined destination by remote control according to the progress of play, which is very convenient. Is.
