- the fuel gauge 52 is used to determine whether or not the fuel is supplied to the transport vehicle 5.
- the present invention is not limited to this configuration. It may be determined whether or not fuel is supplied to the transport vehicle 5 using the management controller 41 that manages the situation. Specifically, the management controller 41 manages the elapsed time from when the transport vehicle 5 supplies the previous fuel to the current time as the operation status of the transport vehicle 5. The management controller 41 determines that the fuel is supplied to the transport vehicle 5 when the elapsed time exceeds a preset set time, while the transport vehicle when the elapsed time does not exceed the preset set time. 5 is determined not to supply fuel. Also in this configuration, the management controller 41 can determine whether or not to supply fuel to the transport vehicle 5.
- the management controller 41 of the central management control facility 8 or the control unit 33 of the refueling facility 7 determines whether or not automatic refueling is performed. You may determine by the provided control part (control apparatus) 16. FIG. That is, when the control unit 16 of the transport vehicle 5 acquires the loading information, the control unit 16 may determine whether or not to perform automatic refueling, and may transmit the determination result to the control unit 33 of the fuel supply facility 7. .
- the fuel supply port 56 and the supply nozzle 61 are connected in the horizontal direction, but the supply nozzle 61 is moved from the lower side in the vertical direction to the upper side to the fuel supply port 56 positioned on the upper side in the vertical direction. May be connected. According to this configuration, since the supply nozzle 61 may be moved in the vertical direction without rotating, the attachment operation of the supply nozzle 61 can be performed within the range E, and the load falling from the vessel 12 can be removed. Interference can be further reduced.

Abstract
Description
図1は、実施例1の消耗材の自動供給システムを適用したトロリー運搬システムを模式的に表す概略構成図である。図1に示すように、このトロリー運搬システム1は、鉱山等で用いられており、運搬車両5と、給電設備6と、給油設備7と、これらを管理制御する中央管理制御設備8とを備えている。
図2は、自動供給システムの構成を示すブロック図であり、図3は、運搬車両の一部を模式的に表した平面図であり、図4は、燃料供給装置の一部を模式的に表した側面図である。上記のように構成されたトロリー運転システム1には、運搬車両5に対し消耗材を供給する消耗材の自動供給システム50が組み込まれている。なお、消耗材としては、燃料、潤滑および油圧制御に用いられるオイルや、潤滑に用いられるグリス等がある。実施例1では、消耗材として、燃料に適用した場合について説明する。
図5は、自動供給システムの制御動作に関するフローチャートである。図5を参照して、上記のように構成した自動供給システム50の制御動作について説明する。運搬車両5から中央管理制御設備8へ向けて、燃料計52により検出した供給情報と、ペイロードメータ51により検出した積載情報が送信され、送信された供給情報および積載情報を管理コントローラ41が取得する。すると、管理コントローラ41は、取得した供給情報に基づいて、運搬車両5に燃料を供給するか否かを判定する(ステップS1)。
