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 automatically operated at a predetermined position.

However, in the event of lightning or rain, if you try to move this carrier along with your bags to a safe place with a roof, the stop switch will automatically operate at a predetermined position, so you will need to operate the start switch again each time.

Also, if the device is stopped at each predetermined location in this way, it is not possible to prevent it from getting wet from lightning or rain.

The present invention has been made in view of these difficulties, and in the event of lightning or rain, the transport vehicle does not stop at a predetermined position and does not pull into the evacuation rail of the roofing material provided at an appropriate location on the traveling rail. That is.

Fig. 1 shows a conventional example of this type of transport vehicle device. 4...-A running rail 5 is again laid along the route of the warehouse 3, and a motorized golf bag transport vehicle 6... is run on this rail 5.

Here, in the warehouse 3, storage rails 7... and the starting ends 8 and terminal ends 9 of the traveling rails 5 are provided in parallel, and there are rotary carts 10 that move and can be connected thereto. It is a provision.

Therefore, the transport vehicles 6... can be transferred to the storage rails 7... or the running rails 5 by means of the rotary cart 10.

In the electrical circuit diagram in Figure 2, the main circuit is the storage battery 1.
1 is connected to the motor 12 through an energizing circuit consisting of two normally closed switches 13, 13, and a braking resistor 14 and a main switch 15 are connected to the motor 12 from the normally closed contact 13' of the two-way switch 13. Consists of branch connections.

In addition, the auxiliary circuit includes a storage battery 11, an instant return type normally open starting switch 16, a diode 17, and the above normally open switch 1.
3 and 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 The station switch 20 is connected to the station switch 20, which is an instant return type normally closed rear collision switch 21 which operates in the event of a rear collision, and the auxiliary switch 22 which is linked to the main switch 15.

23 is a relay self-holding line connecting the normally open switch 13° 13 and the relay 18 with a diode 24; this self-holding line 23, the diode 24, the relay 18, and the stop switch 19 , station switch 2
0, the rear-end collision switch 21, and the auxiliary switch 22 constitute a self-holding circuit that maintains the closed state of the energized circuit of the main circuit.

The operation of this conventional example 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, the relay 18 operates to close the normally open switches 13, 13, and the motor 12 is released from the braking state and rotated.

Here, the start switch 16 instantly returns to the open state, but the relay 18 continues to operate due to the function of the self-holding circuit.
The switches 13, 13 of the power supply circuit are kept 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 19 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 energizing circuit consisting of the normally open switches 13, 13 and directly connects the storage battery 11 and the motor 12, and is normally installed in an invisible location. Emergency start switch 2 that is installed or cannot be closed without breaking the glass, etc.
6, and apart from the protrusions of the station, etc., the warehouse 3
and an emergency stop switch 27 that is opened by a protrusion or the like (not shown) appropriately placed in a predetermined evacuation shelter, are connected in series.

Next, the operation will be explained.

If a transport vehicle with the circuit shown in Fig. 3 is run on the golf course shown in Fig. 1, and it is impossible to play due to a thunderstorm while the vehicle is being used, first, an announcement will be made in the venue to cancel or interrupt the golf course.
Additionally, the player or caddy is informed of the accompanying evacuation and at the same time has the player or caddy close the emergency start switch 26 of each transport vehicle 6.

Then, the motor 12 of the transport vehicle 6 is directly connected to the storage battery 11 by the emergency device, so even if the station switch 20 or the rear collision switch 21 is opened and the self-holding operation of the relay 18 is canceled, the motor 12 continues to be energized. Ru.

On the other hand, the emergency start switch 26 must be operated by someone from each party, but if everyone evacuates early and does not operate the switch, the transport vehicle 6 will be overheated and even the following vehicles will be forced to switch to the station switch. 20 and rear-end switch 2
It remains stopped at the location where 1 was activated.

Therefore, as a countermeasure, a central radio control room (not shown) is installed in the clubhouse 2 or the warehouse 3, and a common or separate radio signal is sent from there to each transport vehicle 6. By configuring the start switch 26 to be closed, it is possible to prevent the transport vehicle from stopping at an undesired location.

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...

Also, if you have an accident like the one mentioned above on the first hole,
It takes too much time to make the transport vehicle 6 go around all the holes.

Therefore, as shown in FIG.
9 is provided so as to feed back to the traveling rail 5,
An automatic coupling machine 30 that is operated manually or by the above-mentioned radio signal or another radio signal is installed at the lead-in portion from the running rail 5.

Next to the evacuation rail 29, the protrusions and the like are provided at predetermined intervals so as to be able to appear and retract, and the protrusions and the like are sequentially protruded by a position detection device (not shown) each time the carrier vehicle 6 is pulled in. and activate the car's emergency stop switch 27.

When the weather improves, the radio signal from the central radio control room is stopped, and thereafter the vehicle 6 is returned to the running rail 5 by normal running operations.

As is clear from the above description, the golf bag carrier device according to the present invention connects an emergency device consisting of a series circuit of an emergency start switch and an emergency stop switch in parallel to the energizing circuit of the carrier drive motor, and Covered evacuation rails are installed at appropriate locations on the transport rail, so if play is interrupted due to thunderstorms or rain, no one can be transported by operating the emergency start switch of the emergency device. The transport vehicle can be automatically driven to the evacuation rail or to the warehouse without having to accompany the vehicle, thereby avoiding lightning or rain.

In addition, the emergency start switch of the above-mentioned emergency device and guidance to the evacuation rail are wirelessly controlled from the warehouse or clubhouse of the transport vehicle, so the transport vehicle automatically operates even if the player or caddy does not operate the emergency start switch. It can be used to guide people to evacuation rails and warehouses.
