[Prior Art] In recent years, in semiconductor manufacturing plants, hospitals, and other facilities, as a conveyance system for conveying objects, a work station for loading and unloading objects has been widely spread while laying a walking track on the ceiling space of the facility. A system that is installed in each room and that the trolley carrying the object to be transported travels on the traveling track between the workstations. It is known that as the above-mentioned conveying system, it is well-known as shown in Figs. The conveying system 50 shown in FIG. 5 is configured to have a traveling rail 51 having a traveling rail, a plurality of workstations 52a, 52b, and 52c, a plurality of trolleys 5 3, and a trolley standby station 5 4; A structure is provided in which the trolleys 5 3 on which objects to be transported are not placed are on standby. As shown in FIG. 6, the workstations 5 2 a to 5 2 c are described by taking, for example, the table 5 2a as an example, as having an opening portion 54 provided below the walking rail 5 i, and facing inside the workstation 52a. The moving track 55 of the moving track portion moving up and down, and the substitute track 56 of the replacing track portion moving up and down above the workstation 5 2 a are configured. The moving track 5 5 is configured to move between the traveling track 51 and the opening 邰 5 4 as the loading trolley 5 3, and the replacement track 5 6 moves as if it is connected to the traveling track 5 1 when the moving track 5 5 descends. Make up. (2) When there is no loading or unloading of the objects-5-1228480 (2), the moving rail 55 is connected to the walking rail 51, and the replacement rail 56 is disposed below the trolley 53. At the work station 5 2 a, when receiving the object to be transported, the trolley 5 3 loaded with the object to be transported travels on the traveling rail 51 and is loaded on the moving rail 5 5 to lower the moving rail 55. At the same time, the substitute track 5 6 also descends and stops at a position connected to the running track 51. In addition, when the moving rail 55 is lowered to the opening portion 54, it is possible to receive the object to be carried loaded on the trolley 53. The workstations 52b and 52c are also configured in the same manner. The work station 52a is configured as described above. Therefore, in the transportation system 50, even when the work station 5 2a performs loading and unloading of the object to be carried, the walking rail 51 and the substitute rail 56 are connected, so the trolley 5 3 is accessible through workstation 52a. This makes it possible to carry without stopping at the workstations 52b and 52c. However, in the above-mentioned conveying system 50, when the work station 52a is being loaded and unloaded, while other carts 53 are simultaneously moving the objects being loaded and unloaded at the work station 52a, the second cart 53 must be on standby at the work station 52a. On the running track 51 directly in front, such a standby trolley 53 has the disadvantages that the transportation of the workstations 52b and 52c is stalled or the trolley 53 cannot be used efficiently. In the workstation 52a, if the frequency of sending operations is high, it takes time for the trolley 5 3 which is not loaded with the object to be transported from the trolley stand 5 4 to the workstation 5 2 a. Disadvantages of poor working efficiency. [Summary of the Invention] -6-1228480 (3) The present invention was created under such a background, and the object of the present invention is to provide a frequency of sending jobs even when each workstation simultaneously carries a plurality of carts, or when sending jobs. In many cases, a trolley transfer system can be used efficiently. In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the aspect of the present invention is a conveying system including a walking rail and a plurality of trolleys movable along the walking rail; and the above-mentioned walking rail is provided with a separation from the walking rail toward an intersection with The plurality of moving rail portions that move in the direction of the walking rail also include communication rail portions that connect the moving rail portions in a state where the moving rails are moved from the walking rails. According to this conveying system, each work station is provided with a plurality of moving rail sections, and also has a connecting rail section that connects the moving rail sections in a state where they are moved from the walking rails. Therefore, the walking rails are loaded on the moving rails. The trolley of the vehicle is moved to the crossing direction by the moving rail portion, and is guided to the linked rail portion that is in contact with the moving rail portion. Therefore, when a plurality of trolleys are transported simultaneously at one workstation, there is no need to wait for the trolleys on the running track, and it is possible to wait in the linked track section, and the trolleys can be used efficiently. Further, in the conveying system, when the moving rail portion is separated from the running rail and moved, a replacement rail portion may be provided instead of the moving rail portion to continue the running rail. According to this conveying system, when the moving rail portion is separated from the traveling rail and moved, the rail portion is connected to the traveling rail instead of the rail portion, so that the rail on the workstation is always ensured to pass. Therefore, even when the workstation is loading or unloading 1228480 (4), other trolleys can be transported to other workstations through the work. That is, the trolley will not affect the workstations that are frequently used in other industries. In addition to shortening the call time and improving work efficiency, the above-mentioned handling system can also be mounted on a single cart. According to this handling system, the size of the railcars is linked, so that between workstations, the efficiency of the use of other trolleys is also ensured. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a sectional view of a conveying device (partial sectional perspective view) for efficiently conveying objects such as a body; Figs. 2 to 4 are front views and side views of a moving mechanism. The view shows that the moving site in this embodiment can pass through a medical facility's consultation room, a work station with trolleys installed in each room, and workstations with trolleys in each room. Each of the trolleys is controlled automatically, and an empty trolley call control is performed to send crops. Or it is on the station, so it will not stagnate and wait for the empty workstation to be transported in advance in the contact rail section, while waiting for the empty trolley in the transmission rail section, you can have at least the above-mentioned contact rail section. It can load one empty track with at least one trolley waiting. This can improve the implementation of the trolley. Various documents or medical handling systems for medical facilities) The main part of the map shows the trolley's moving track In the transportation device, as shown in Fig. 5 above, each of the rooms such as the treatment room and the operating room is provided with a stop on the walking track. Call control apparatus or sector is not loaded is transported to the apparatus to be conveyed to the carriage traveling -8-1228480 transfer control (5) The purpose of the workstation. In this conveying device, as shown in Fig. 1, a traveling rail 3 on which the trolley 2 travels is connected to the work station 1, and two traveling rail portions separated from the traveling rail 3 are provided with the traveling rails 4a and 4b. That is, the walking rail 3 is divided into walking rails 3a, 3b, and 3c in the work station 1, and the walking rails 3a and 3b are connected by using the moving rail 4a or instead of the rail 9a. The walking rails 3 b and 3 c are connected by using the moving rail 4 b or instead of the rail 9 b. The moving rails 4 a and 4 b are made longer than the loaded trolley 2. They are separated from the traveling rail 3 by the following lifting mechanism and can be moved downward. When the moving rails 4 a and 4 b are lowered, they are replaced. The tracks 9a, 9b can be combined with the running track 3. The work station 1 is provided with lifting paths 5a and 5b for lifting and lowering rails 4a and 4b. Below the lifting paths 5a and 5b, there are moving rails connected through the communication path 6 and capable of reaching the lower sides of the lifting paths 5a and 5b. The contact rail 7 of the moving rail portion between 4a and 4b. The length of the connecting track 7 is such that two trolleys 2 can be arranged with a predetermined gap therebetween. Each of the passages is formed inside the wall body; the elevating passages 5a and 5b form moving rails 4a and 4b capable of passing the loading trolley 2, and the communication passage 6 is a trolley 2 forming a traveling connecting rail 7. Further, an opening portion 8 opened in the workstation 1 is provided on the lower wall of the moving rail 4b. The moving rail 4a and the lifting mechanism instead of the rail 9a will be described with reference to Figs. 2 to 4. The moving rail 4a and the replacement rail 9a, and the moving rail 4a and the replacement rail 1228480 (6) The rail 9b use the same lifting mechanism. A ball screw 20 that is rotatably supported is provided in the workstation 1 in a vertical direction, and the ball screw 20 is configured to be driven by the drive device 21 to be rotated. As shown in Fig. 3, a main moving body 22 is fixed to the side of the moving rail 4a, and a female spiral member 23 is arranged on the main moving body 22. The female screw member 23 is screwed to the ball screw 20, and when the ball screw 20 rotates, the moving rail 4a moves up and down. On the main moving body 22, a supporting member 25 is erected, a sub-moving body 2 6 is arranged on the supporting member 25, and a configuration in which the rail 9a is fixed instead of the side of the sub-moving body 26 is formed. A through-hole having a larger diameter than the outer diameter of the ball screw 20 is formed in the sub-moving body 26, and the ball screw 20 penetrates through the through-hole relatively. The replacement rail 9a can be moved up and down freely. The ball screw 20 is usually placed on the support member 25. A projecting portion 27 protruding in the left-right direction is formed in the replacement rail 9a, and an engaging portion 28 is formed at an end of the running rail 3 so as to be capable of engaging with the projecting member 27. In this configuration, when the moving rail 4a of the loading trolley 2 is moved downward, the ball screw 20 is rotated by the driving device 21, thereby lowering the moving rail 4a together with the main moving body 22. At this time, as shown in Fig. 4, the projecting member 27 and the engaging member 28 are fastened, and the replacement rail 9a and the traveling rail 3 are connected, so that the trolley 2 can pass through the table 1. According to the state, the moving track 4a and the running track 3 are linearly formed, so that the trolley 2 can be moved. The operation of the conveying device configured as described above will be described using FIG. 1. When the station 1 receives the object to be transported, the trolley 2 -10- 1228480 (7) carrying the object to be transported travels on the walking rail 3 to reach the station 1 and stops on the moving rail 4a. The moving rail 4a on which the trolley 2 is mounted is lowered in the ascending / descending path 5a and stopped at the position connected to the contact rail 7. At this time, since the moving rail 4b is located below the elevating path 5a, the bogie 2 passes on the connecting rail 7 and walks to the moving rail 4b, and stops at the position facing the opening portion 8. In addition, when being transported through the opening 8 and taken out from the trolley 2 and at the same time, when the next trolley 2 transports the object to the work station 1, the moving rail 4a on which the next trolley 2 is loaded is lowered to the contact rail 7 Position, the next vehicle 2 is the link rail 7 stopped in front of the moving rail 2b. Similarly, when the third trolley 2 arrives at a fast-moving object, it also stops at the contact rail 7 and waits until it can walk forward. In addition, the trolley 2 from which the object to be carried is taken out on the moving rail 4b is raised by the moving rail 4b, and when the moving rail 4b and the walking rail 3 are combined, it moves to the walking rail 3. In addition, the moving rail 4b is lowered until it is combined with the link rail 7, and the next vehicle 2 waiting to move is moved to the moving rail 4b. In this way, the trolley 2 is sequentially moved from the traveling rail 3 to the opening portion 8 so that the object to be carried is taken out. In this way, during the loading and unloading of the previous trolley 2, the next trolley 2 and the third trolley 2 are waiting on the linked track 7. At this time, the traveling track 3 is combined instead of the tracks 9a and 9b. Therefore, The trolley 2 can be passed over the worktable 1. Therefore, the trolley 2 can be used efficiently. In addition, in the work station 1, when the object to be transported is sent to another work station, the operation control device 俾 calls the empty cart 2. From platform -11-(8) 1228480 shown in Figure 5, the car stand 5 4 The trolley 2 walking on the walking track 3 arrives at the work station 1 and stops on the moving track 4 a, passes the lifting path 5 a and contacts The passage 6 stops at a position facing the opening 8. At this time, 'if it is known that there are frequent sending operations at the workstation 1, use the control device to wait for the plurality of empty trolleys 2 on the connecting track 7 in advance, thereby shortening the empty trolleys 2 from the trolley standby station 5 4 When the operation of calling the empty trolley 2 is performed during the calling time, the empty trolley 2 waiting on the contact rail 7 is moved to the opening 8. In addition, while the empty trolley 2 is waiting on the connecting track 7 of the workstation 1, when the other trolley 2 transfers the object to the workstation 1, the trolley 2 carrying the object is moved to the station 1 without passing through the lifting path 5b. Openings 8. When the empty trolley 2 is not waiting on the contact rail 7, the trolley 2 is lifted by using only the moving rail 4b, and the same method as in the conventional method can be used. In this way, in order to shorten the waiting time of the empty trolley 2 in order to shorten the call time, the traveling track 3 is combined with the substitute tracks 9a and 9b, so that other trolleys 2 can pass through the work station 1 without hindering the movement of the other trolleys 2. Therefore, the work efficiency of the trolley 2 can be improved. In this embodiment, the trolley 2 on the running track is used for the description, but the present invention may be applied to a suspension trolley. The configuration is such that two trolleys 2 can be standby on the linked rail 7, but the number of the trolleys 2 that can be standby is two or more, and the length of the linked rail 7 can be appropriately changed and set as necessary. Furthermore, the vertical position of the opening 8 is appropriately set, and the object to be transported can be loaded and unloaded at an easy position. In addition, the -12-12480480 (9) rail 4a and the lifting mechanism instead of the rail 9a use the rotation drive of the ball screw, but instead of the ball screw, a belt or chain mechanism can also be used FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing a main part of a work station of a conveyance system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
