- the charging / discharging state of the battery B1 is monitored by a vehicle-mounted control device (not shown).
- the control device detects the voltage, temperature, etc. of the battery B1, and calculates the charge capacity of the battery B1. Then, it is determined from the calculated charging capacity (battery voltage) whether or not charging is necessary. In the battery B1, for example, when the battery voltage drops below 21V, it is determined that charging is necessary.
- the control device stops the PB type automatic guided vehicle 1A at the charging station CS on the travel route R described above. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, when the automatic charger 3A in the charging station CS confirms that the PB type automatic guided vehicle 1A has stopped at a predetermined position of the charging station CS, the power supply contactor 23 is connected to the PB type automatic guided vehicle. Drive progress towards 1. When the power feeding contactor 23 is connected to the power receiving contactor 13, charging is possible.

Rapid charging is a constant current / constant voltage charging method that supplies a charging current larger than the charging current during normal charging to the battery B1. Rapid charging is desirable for transport processes that require short-term charging. However, the charge control device 20 can perform constant current / constant voltage normal charging. In constant current / constant voltage charging, constant current charging (CC charging) for supplying a constant charging current is performed in the initial stage of charging. From the time when the battery voltage rises to a fully charged voltage (for example, 29 V) due to the continuation of charging, constant voltage charging (CV charging) with a constant voltage is executed until a predetermined time elapses.

- the LB type automatic guided vehicle 1B operates the power reception control relay 12A according to a command from the charging controller 11 when the on-board charging controller 11 determines that charging is necessary due to a decrease in battery voltage, and the power switch 12 is changed from the open state to the closed state. Moreover, the LB type automatic guided vehicle 1B stops at the charging station CS according to the command of the charging controller 11. When the automatic charger 3A in the charging station CS confirms that the LB type automatic guided vehicle 1B has stopped at a predetermined position of the charging station CS, as shown in FIG. 6, the power supply contactor 23 is moved to the LB type automatic guided vehicle 1B. extend. When the power feeding contactor 23 is connected to the power receiving contactor 13, charging is possible.
- the automatic charging device 3A activates the DC power source 21 when the power supply contactor 23 and the power receiving contactor 13 are connected, and controls the charging current value and the voltage value supplied from the DC power source 21 to the charging battery B2. Specifically, as in the case of charging the battery B1, as shown in FIG. 5, at the initial stage of charging, the battery B1 operates to perform constant current charging (CC charging) for supplying a constant charging current.
- CC charging constant current charging
- the battery voltage increases from the charging start voltage with charging.
- the rise in the battery voltage is monitored by the on-vehicle charge controller 11 and the charge controller 20 on the equipment side.
- the on-vehicle charging controller 11 operates the power reception control relay 12A to shut off the power switch 12, disconnects the connection between the battery B2 and the power receiving contactor 13, and ends the charging operation.
- the automatic charger 3 ⁇ / b> A of the charging station CS stops the DC power supply 21 when the current flowing to the battery B ⁇ b> 2 through the power supply contactor 23 is reduced to zero by the interruption by the power switch 12, and the charging operation is stopped.
- the automatic charger 3A of the charging station CS retracts the power supply contactor 23 and disconnects the power receiving contactor 13 of the LB type automatic guided vehicle 1B.
- the LB automatic guided vehicle 1B leaves the charging station CS and travels on the travel route R.
- the battery voltage of the LB automatic guided vehicle 1B equipped with the battery B2 changes as shown in FIG. That is, at time t0, t2, t4 when the battery voltage becomes lower than the charging start voltage, the power switch 12 is closed by the operation of the charging control relay 12A, and charging is performed at time t1, t3 when the battery voltage becomes higher than the power reception completion voltage.
- the power switch 12 is switched from the closed state to the open state by the control relay 12A. For this reason, the battery voltage rises from a state lower than the charging relay ON voltage to a state higher than the charging relay OFF voltage every time charging is performed.
- the LB type automatic guided vehicle 1B travels on the travel route R, battery power is consumed, and the battery voltage gradually decreases from a state higher than the charging relay OFF voltage to a state lower than the charging relay ON voltage.
- the automatic guided vehicle 1 includes a lithium ion battery B2 as a mounting battery B, and a charging controller 11 that monitors the remaining capacity of the mounting battery B2. Then, the charging controller 11 starts charging the mounted battery B2 at the charging station CS when the remaining capacity of the battery B2 becomes lower than a predetermined value. Then, the charging controller 11 switches the power switch 12 as a power reception control switch provided in the charging path of the vehicle to the cut-off state when the amount of charge of the on-board battery B2 reaches a preset capacity during charging. It is characterized in that the charging for the onboard battery B2 is terminated.
- the charging controller 11 mounted on the automatic guided vehicle 1 determines that the charging of the mounted battery B2 is completed, the charging path is interrupted by the power switch 12 as the power reception control switch to end the charging.
- the automatic charger 3 ⁇ / b> A provided in the charging station CS does not need to change the charging condition corresponding to the battery type mounted on the automatic guided vehicle 1. For this reason, as a charger installed in the charging station CS, the lead-acid battery charger 3A that is already installed in the transport process can be used as it is as a charger for the lithium ion battery B2. Further, unlike the prior art, a device for discriminating the type of the onboard battery B becomes unnecessary, and the cost of the charger can be reduced. In addition, even when a charger 3A for a lead storage battery, for example, having a high final voltage setting value at the time of charging is used, the lithium ion battery B2 can be charged while avoiding overcharging.
- the charging controller 11 conducts the power switch 12 as a power reception control switch provided in the charging path of the vehicle from the cut-off state. I am trying to switch to a state. For this reason, when the lead-acid battery charger 3A having a wider operating voltage range than the lithium ion battery B2 is used as the charger for the lithium ion battery B2, the voltage range to be used in the lithium ion battery B2 is determined from the charge controller 11. Can be set arbitrarily by specifying. As a result, it is possible to always use a medium-capacity region with high usage efficiency in terms of the characteristics of the lithium ion battery B2, and to extend the life of the lithium ion battery B2.
