2. Description of the Related Art A transport system for transporting goods by running an automatic guided vehicle along a guide line on a floor surface is known as a transport system.
It is widely used in facilities such as factories because it is easy to lay taxiways. FIG. 5 shows an example of an automatic guided vehicle used in such a transport system. The automatic guided vehicle 1 includes driving wheels 12 and 12 that are rotated by motors 11 and driven wheels 13 and 13 that are driven by the motors. The motors 11 and 11 are controlled to drive the left and right driving wheels 12 and 1.
By adjusting the rotation of No. 2, the vehicle travels while traveling straight on the floor A or turning left and right. In addition, guidance sensors 2 and 2 are attached to the front and rear lower parts of the automatic guided vehicle 1, respectively. Each guidance sensor 2 arranges, for example, 16 light receiving units side by side, and determines whether or not each of these light receiving units has received light from the guidance line 3, respectively.
The direction in which the automatic guided vehicle 1 is displaced from the guide line 3 is detected. Then, by controlling the rotation of the drive wheels 12, 12 according to the detection result, the automatic guided vehicle 1 can be guided along the guidance line 3.

[0003] Here, the guide line 3 is usually made of a guide material colored with a pigment having a color significantly different from the floor surface A,
Each light receiving portion of the guide sensor 2 can also receive only light of a specific color reflected by the guide line 3, and the light from the guide line 3 is reflected in accordance with the amount of light received by these light receiving portions. It is possible to determine whether or not light has been received.
However, such a guide line 3 has a very conspicuous color on the floor surface A, so that the aesthetic appearance may be impaired. Therefore, an invention has been proposed in which a transparent guide material that emits visible light due to a luminescence phenomenon when irradiated with ultraviolet rays is used for the guide line 3 so that the aesthetic appearance of the floor surface A is not impaired (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. Heisei 9 (1999)). No. 6-149350). As described above, when a guide material that emits light whose wavelength range is completely different from that of incident light is used, light whose wavelength is completely different from the guide line 3 and all or a part of the wavelength of the incident light on the other floor A are used. Since the reflected light can be reliably distinguished from the reflected light and detected, there is also an advantage that it is less likely to be affected by noise due to external light and stains on the floor surface A.

When used for the guide line 3 that emits visible light upon irradiation with the ultraviolet light, the guide sensor 2 shields external light and irradiates the floor surface A with ultraviolet light from a black light or the like, as shown in FIG. Then, visible light from the floor surface A is received by the sixteen light receiving units 6 arranged above and below the floor surface A in the left-right direction (the direction orthogonal to the traveling direction). That is, for example, in the case shown in FIG. 6, only the central three light receiving portions 6 located directly above the guide line 3 receive visible light emitted from the guide line 3, and 13 light receiving portions on both sides thereof. The units 6 receive visible light from the floor surface A without the guide line 3. However, the light receiving sections 6 on both sides
.. Are exposed to only ultraviolet rays while being shielded from outside light, the ultraviolet rays are reflected, but the visible light is hardly reflected. Therefore, the central three light receiving portions 6... Sufficiently receive the visible light from the guide line 3 and the amount of received light increases, but the 13 light receiving portions 6.
The received light amount becomes extremely small, and it is possible to determine whether or not each light receiving unit 6 has received visible light from the guide line 3 based on the difference between these received light amounts.

However, for example, FIG.
As shown in the figure, the front guidance sensor 2 determines that only the three light receiving portions 6... Shifted to the left (downward in the figure) receive a large amount of light, and the rear guidance sensor 2 leans to the right (upward in the figure). If it is determined that only the light receiving amounts of the three light receiving units 6 are large, the unmanned transport vehicle 1 is inclined with respect to the guide line 3, so that the right driving wheel 12 is rotated more quickly. Steer to turn left. In this case, two guidance sensors 2 are mounted before and after the automatic guided vehicle 1. However, there is a case where only one guidance sensor 2 is used, and the number of the light receiving units 6 is not limited to 16. Absent. In addition, the driving method and the steering method of the automatic guided vehicle 1 are not limited to those using the left and right driving wheels 12, and there are various other methods.

However, in order to sufficiently receive the visible light from the guide line 3, each light receiving section 6 of the guide sensor 2 has a light receiving element 61 as shown in FIG.
It is necessary to dispose the condensing lenses 62, 62 having a large aperture diameter below the cylindrical lens holder. Therefore, the cylindrical lens holder 64 holding the condensing lenses 62, 62 not only from the visible light directly below but also from the surroundings. Visible light enters obliquely into the inside. However, such visible light in the oblique direction is transmitted to the lens holder 6.
In many cases, the light is applied to the cylindrical inner peripheral surface of No. 4, and most of the light is absorbed by the inner peripheral surface. However, it is difficult to make the inner peripheral surface of the lens holder 64 a complete light absorbing surface, and a certain amount of reflection cannot be avoided from the viewpoint of manufacturing cost. Holder 64
The light proceeds to the inside of the inside and reaches the light receiving element 61 to be received. Therefore, for example, in the case shown in FIG. 6, the visible light from the guide line 3 is obliquely incident on some of the light receiving portions 6 on both sides adjacent to the central three light receiving portions 6 and receives light. The amount will increase.

For this reason, in the conventional guidance sensor 2, not only the light receiving portions 6 directly above the guide line 3 but also the light receiving amounts of the light receiving portions 6 adjacent on both sides thereof increase, and there is a possibility that the determination may be erroneous. Therefore, there has been a problem that the position detection of the automatic guided vehicle 1 with respect to the guide line 3 becomes ambiguous and accurate guidance cannot be performed.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is directed to an induction sensor mounted on a moving body that runs on a floor on which a guide line that emits visible light when irradiated with ultraviolet rays is laid. There, while irradiating the floor surface with ultraviolet light, visible light from this floor surface is received by a plurality of light receiving units,
By distinguishing a light receiving unit that receives visible light from the guide line from a light receiving unit that does not receive the visible light, in the guidance sensor of the moving body that guides the moving body along the guidance line, from the floor surface to the light receiving element of the light receiving unit A condensing lens is arranged on the light receiving optical axis, and a light receiving optical axis along a plane substantially orthogonal to the light receiving optical axis is provided at a plurality of positions on the light receiving optical axis between the light receiving element and the light collecting lens. Aperture members are provided, each of which is provided with a light-shielding surface which is an annular surface having a center and whose inner diameter becomes smaller as approaching the light receiving element.

According to the means, when visible light is incident on the light receiving portion obliquely from the outside, the light is often irradiated on one of the light shielding surfaces of the diaphragm member. And, since these light shielding surfaces are along the surface almost perpendicular to the light receiving optical axis, even if the irradiated visible light cannot be absorbed enough and a part of it is reflected, this reflected light is collected. It can be returned to the lens side and can be prevented from being received by the light receiving element. Therefore, each light receiving unit receives only visible light incident along the light receiving optical axis, and increases the light receiving amount only when there is a guide line on the light receiving optical axis. Can be prevented.

According to the means, since the depth of the light shielding surface closest to the light receiving element is not the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder but the inner circumferential surface of the taper, the obliquely visible light passes through the inner diameter of the light shielding surface. In this case, there is no possibility that the light is reflected at the depth and is directly radiated to the light receiving element, so that the unnecessary light receiving amount can be further reduced.

Also, light is emitted from the guide line 3 into the light receiving holes 64a of the lens holders 64 of the light receiving portions 6 slightly deviated from directly above the guide line 3 (the light receiving portions 6 and 6 at the center and the left side in FIG. 4). The obtained visible light may be obliquely incident (for example, visible light C and D shown in FIG. 4). However, since these visible lights C and D are not along the light receiving optical axis B, a part thereof is reflected directly or on the inner peripheral surface of the light receiving hole 64a and the like, and the light is reflected on the light shielding surface 65c of the aperture block 65. Irradiation increases. Then, such visible lights C and D pass through the light shielding surface 6.
5c is partially reflected in addition to being absorbed by the light shielding surface 6c.
Since 5c is a surface orthogonal to the light receiving optical axis B, the reflected light here is scattered downward so as to return to the incident direction. Moreover, even when such visible light is applied to the inner peripheral surface 65a of the cylinder without being applied to the light shielding surface 65c of the stop block 65, the reflected light is reflected by the light shielding surface 65c immediately above.
In many cases, the light is scattered downward. However, the uppermost light shielding surface 65c
If there is a cylindrical inner peripheral surface 65a above the light, the reflected light of the visible light applied to the cylindrical inner peripheral surface 65a
1 light receiving surface. However, in the inductive sensor 2 of the present embodiment, the tapered inner peripheral surface 65d is formed above the uppermost light shielding surface 65c. Without being directly reached, the light is absorbed while the reflection is repeated on the side and the like.

Therefore, the light receiving sections 6 close to the guide line 3.
Is that even if the visible light from the guide line 3 is obliquely incident, most of the light is blocked from the light shielding surface 65c of the aperture block 65.
And the light is reflected back here and returned downward, so that the amount of light received by the light receiving element 61 does not needlessly increase. Thus, the possibility that the light receiving units 6 that are not located directly above the guide line 3 make an erroneous determination is reduced.
