Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a golf bag transport vehicle loaded with golf bags that travels on rails laid on a golf course.

This type of transport vehicle starts when a start switch is manually operated, and stops when a stop switch is operated once at a predetermined position.

However, when it comes to lightning or rain, when you try to move this carrier along with the bags to a safe, covered warehouse or shelter, the stop switch moves once in a predetermined position, so the start switch is set in the same way. It is necessary to perform the operation again.

Further, if the golf bag is stopped at each predetermined location in this way, it is not possible to protect golf equipment such as a golf bag from lightning or rain.

The present invention was developed in view of these difficulties.

Figure 1 shows the layout of a golf course that uses this type of transport vehicle. In the figure, 1 is a golf course with a clubhouse 2 and a warehouse 3 adjacent to each other.
- Each hole 4...-A traveling rail 5 is laid again along the route of the warehouse 3, and a golf bag carrier 6 driven by a motor runs on this rail 5. let

Here, in the warehouse 3, storage rails 7...
The starting end 8 and the ending end 9 of the traveling rail 5 are provided in parallel, and a rotary cart 10 that moves so as to be connectable thereto.
...is established.

Accordingly, the transport vehicles 6 are transferred to the storage rails 7 and the traveling rails 5 by the rotating cart 10.

FIG. 2 is a conventional circuit diagram of the drive system of this golf bag carrier 6. In the figure, first, the main circuit connects the storage battery 11 through an energizing circuit consisting of two normally open switches 13 and 13. and connect the motor 12 to the control resistor 14 and the main switch 15 to the second switch 13.
The normally closed contact 13' is branched and connected.

In addition, the auxiliary circuit connects the storage battery 11 to the instant return type normally open starting switch 16 → diode 17 → the above normally open switch 1.
3. Relay coil 18 for controlling 13 → Instant return type and normally closed stop switch 19 → Instant return type and normally closed stop switch 19 operated by a protrusion (not shown) provided at each predetermined station of the traveling rail 5 Station switch 20 → Instant return type normally closed rear-end collision switch 21 that operates in the event of a rear-end collision →
It is connected to the path of the auxiliary switch 22 which is linked to the main switch 15.

Further, 23 is a relay self-holding line which connects the middle point of connection of the two normally open switches 13.13 and the above-mentioned relay coil 18 with a diode 24. and a stop switch 19.
The station switch 20, the rear-end collision switch 21, and the auxiliary switch 22 constitute a self-holding circuit that maintains the energized circuit of the main circuit in a closed state.

This conventional operation will be explained next.

When the main switch 15 and the auxiliary switch 22 are simply closed, the motor 12 is connected to the braking resistor 1 by the normally closed contact 13'.
Since it is connected to 4, it is in a braking state.

When the start switch 16 is closed, current flows through the relay coil 18, closing the normally open switch 13.13 and starting the motor 12.
Release the brake from the braking state and rotate it.

Here, the start switch 16 instantly returns to the closed state, but the relay 18 continues to operate due to the function of the self-holding circuit.
Keep switch 13.13 of the power supply circuit closed.

After starting rotation, the motor 12 is electrically braked by being connected to the braking resistor 14 at appropriate times, mainly by opening the station switch 20, or in rare cases by opening the stop switch 1.9 or the collision switch 21.

Note that the braking state may be fixed using an electromagnetic brake or the like.

The transport vehicle according to the present invention is characterized in that an emergency device is additionally connected to the conventional electric circuit.

To explain below, in Fig. 3, 25 is an emergency device that is connected in parallel to the energized circuit from the normally open switch 13. Emergency start switch 26 installed in
and an emergency stop switch 27 that is opened by a protrusion or the like (not shown) appropriately placed in the warehouse 3 or a predetermined evacuation center in addition to the protrusion of the station. ing.

Next, the operation will be explained.

If the carrier of the circuit shown in Fig. 3 is run on the golf course shown in Fig. 1, and it is impossible to play due to thunderstorms while the vehicle is in use, first an announcement will be made in the venue to cancel or interrupt the play, and to take the necessary evacuation. At the same time, inform the player or catty of each transport vehicle 6.
have the emergency start switch 26 closed.

Then, in the transport vehicle 6, the motor 12 is directly connected to the storage battery 11 by the emergency device, so even if the station switch 20 is opened and the self-holding operation of the relay 18 is released, the motor 12 continues to be energized, and the motor 12 is operated non-stop. Return to Warehouse 3 or the evacuation center set up along the course.

Then, in the warehouse 3, the emergency stop switch 27 is opened using a suitable protrusion or the like to stop the operation.

On the other hand, the emergency start switch 26 must be operated by someone from each party, but if the player or catty evacuates quickly and does not operate the switch 26, the transport vehicle 6 will overheat and the following vehicle will Even they will not be able to return.

Therefore, as a countermeasure, a central radio control room (not shown) is installed in the clubhouse 2 or warehouse 3, and a common or separate radio signal is transmitted from there to each transport vehicle 6. If the configuration is such that the emergency start switch 26 is closed and activated by the signal, a return command can be issued from the central radio control room in the event of an emergency, and the transport vehicle can be sent to a shelter or warehouse without bothering the catty or player. You can make him return to 3.

In addition, in the case of wireless control based on this wireless signal, each transport vehicle 6.
Of course, it is necessary to install a receiving device in...

As is clear from the above description, the golf bag carrier of the present invention has a power supply circuit connected to the drive motor which is kept closed by the self-holding circuit when the holding operation of the self-holding circuit is released. In addition to connecting an emergency device that continues to energize the motor, this emergency device must be connected to an emergency start switch that is installed in a location that is not visible on normal days, and that is only opened when the vehicle is in a warehouse or evacuation center. It is configured by a series circuit of an emergency stop switch and an emergency stop switch, so when play is interrupted or stopped due to thunderstorms or rain, operating the emergency start switch will cause the stop switch and Ignoring the function of the station switch, the drive motor continues to be energized in the same way as when the self-holding circuit is operating, and the transport vehicle is automatically moved to the warehouse or evacuation area without the caddy or player accompanying the transport vehicle. It is possible to protect the golf equipment loaded in the transport vehicle from lightning and rain by driving the vehicle to a certain location, and there is no risk of the emergency start switch being operated by mistake other than during lightning or rain, and the emergency stop switch can be The switch can be opened only in warehouses or evacuation centers to cut off power to the motor and automatically stop the vehicle at a safe location.
