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, if you try to move this carrier along with your bags to a safe, covered warehouse during thunderstorms or rain, 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.

Figure 1 shows a conventional example of 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.・・・・・・
- Lay the traveling rail 5 again along the route of the warehouse 3, and place the motor-equipped Corfu bag carrier 6 on this rail 5...
Run...

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.

Therefore, the transport vehicle 6... can be transferred from the rotary cart IDK to the storage rail I... or the traveling rail 5.

In the electrical circuit diagram in Figure 2, the main circuit is the storage battery 1.
A motor 12 is connected to the motor 12 through two normally open switches 13 and 13, and a braking resistor 14 and a main switch 15 are branch-connected to the motor 12 from the normally closed contact 13' of the second switch 13. Become.

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.
3.13 Control switch 18 - Instant return type and normally closed stop switch 19 - 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 50 The station switch 20 is connected to the station switch 20, which is an instant-return type normally closed rear-end collision switch 21 that operates in the event of a rear-end 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 switches 13 and 13 and the relay 18 with a diode 21; 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 keeps the main circuit closed.

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 14 through the normally closed contact 13'.
It is in a braking state because it is connected to.

When the start switch 16 is closed, the relay 18 is actuated to close the normally open switch 13.13, releasing the motor 12 from the braking condition and allowing it to rotate.

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.
Keep the normally open switch 13.13 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.

This will be explained in detail below.

FIG. 3 shows an electric circuit diagram of the transport vehicle of the present invention, in which 26 is an emergency start switch connected in parallel to the start switch 16;
27 is an emergency stop switch inserted and connected to the auxiliary circuit constituting the self-holding circuit; 28 is connected to the emergency start switch 26 and is connected in parallel to the series circuit of the station switch 20 and the rear-end collision switch 21; Bypass switch connected to these switches 26.27.2
8 constitutes an emergency device.

The emergency start switch 26 is usually installed in an invisible location to prevent it from being operated inadvertently, or is constructed so that it cannot be closed without breaking glass or the like.

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 in use, first an announcement is made in the venue to inform of the cancellation or interruption and the accompanying evacuation. At the same time, the caddy or the player is asked to operate the emergency start switch 26 which is interlocked with the bypass switch 28 of each transport vehicle 6.

Then, the self-holding circuit of the transport vehicle 6 operates and starts energizing the motor 12, and even if the station switch 20 or rear-end switch 21 is opened, the self-holding circuit remains closed to the bypass switch 2.
8 continues the holding operation and returns to the warehouse 3 non-stop.

Then, inside the warehouse 3, the emergency stop switch 27 is opened by a suitable protrusion or the like, and the machine stops.

On the other hand, the emergency start switch 26 must be operated by someone from each party, but if the player or caddy...
If you don't evacuate quickly and operate the switch, the transport vehicle 6 will heat up and even the following vehicles will not be able to return.

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. If the signal is configured to close the emergency start switch 26, the transport vehicle can be automatically returned to the warehouse 3 in an emergency.

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 present invention provides an emergency starting switch in parallel with the starting switch, and also provides an emergency starting switch in parallel with the series circuit of the station switch and rear-end switch of the self-holding circuit that maintains the energization state of the drive motor. Equipped with a bypass switch linked to the starting switch,
By activating this emergency start switch when play is interrupted or canceled due to thunderstorms or rain, the self-holding circuit's holding operation continues despite the activation of the station switch or rear-end switch, and no one Follow the transport vehicle (
However, it is possible to automatically drive the transport vehicle to the warehouse and avoid thunderstorms and rain.

In addition, since the emergency start switch mentioned above can be wirelessly controlled from the warehouse or craft house of the transport vehicle, the player caddy can automatically return the transport vehicle to the warehouse without operating this emergency start switch. .
