Description

台車Trolley
 本発明は、荷台部が固定キャスタと自在キャスタとにより支持されている台車に関する。 This invention relates to the trolley | bogie in which the loading platform part is supported by the fixed caster and the universal caster.
 従来の台車に関する技術が特開2004-99003号公報に記載されている。従来の牽引台車100(以下、台車という)は、図10に示すように、荷台部103の進行方向前側に自在キャスタ106を取付けることで、カーブ走行ができるように構成されており、進行方向後側に固定キャスタ107を設けることで、直進性を高めるように構成されている。しかし、上記構造では、台車100をバック移動(後進)させようとすると、進行方向前側に固定キャスタ107が位置することになり、カーブ走行ができなくなるという問題がある。この点を改善するため、特許文献1に記載の台車は、荷台部の中央位置に自在キャスタを設け、後進させようとするときに、作業者が荷台部の後端部を引き上げて固定キャスタを浮いた状態にすることで、カーブ走行を可能にしている。 A technology related to a conventional cart is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-99003. As shown in FIG. 10, the conventional tow cart 100 (hereinafter referred to as “cart”) is configured to be able to travel in a curve by attaching a free caster 106 to the front side of the loading platform 103 in the traveling direction. By providing a fixed caster 107 on the side, it is configured to improve straightness. However, in the above structure, when the carriage 100 is moved back (reversed), the fixed caster 107 is positioned on the front side in the traveling direction, and there is a problem that the vehicle cannot travel in a curve. In order to improve this point, the cart described in Patent Document 1 is provided with a free caster at the center position of the loading platform, and when trying to move backward, the operator raises the rear end of the loading platform and lifts the fixed caster. By making it float, it is possible to run on a curve.
 しかし、特開2004-99003号公報の方法では、台車を後進させようとするときに作業者が荷台部の後端部を引き上げて固定キャスタを浮いた状態にする必要があるため、使い勝手が良くないという問題点があった。 However, in the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-99003, when an operator tries to move the carriage backward, the operator needs to lift the rear end portion of the loading platform portion to float the fixed caster, which is easy to use. There was no problem.
 したがって、改良された台車が必要とされている。 Therefore, an improved cart is needed.
 本発明の第1の側面においては、荷台部が少なくとも1つの固定キャスタと複数の自在キャスタとにより支持されている台車であって、前記自在キャスタは、前記荷台部の進行方向前側と進行方向後側とにそれぞれ設けられており、前記台車が進行する際に、進行方向前側に設けられた自在キャスタの車輪架台の車輪中心が下方に移動して、走行面に対する車輪の接地点が少なくとも最も低い接地点を有する固定キャスタの車輪の接地点よりも低い状態になり、進行方向後側に設けられた自在キャスタの車輪架台の車輪中心が上方に移動して、走行面に対する車輪の接地点が少なくとも最も低い接地点を有する固定キャスタの車輪の接地点よりも高い状態になり、台車の走行時に、台車の進行方向前側は自在キャスタが走行面と接地し、進行方向後側は固定キャスタが走行面と接地するように構成されている。 In the first aspect of the present invention, the cargo bed portion is supported by at least one fixed caster and a plurality of free casters, and the universal caster includes a front side in a traveling direction and a rear side in the traveling direction of the cargo bed portion. When the carriage travels, the center of the wheel base of the free caster provided on the front side in the traveling direction moves downward, and the ground contact point of the wheel with respect to the traveling surface is at least the lowest It becomes lower than the grounding point of the wheel of the fixed caster having the grounding point, the wheel center of the wheel base of the free caster provided on the rear side in the traveling direction moves upward, and the grounding point of the wheel with respect to the traveling surface is at least It becomes higher than the ground contact point of the wheel of the fixed caster that has the lowest ground contact point. Rear direction side is constructed as fixed castors in contact with a running surface.
 本発明の第1の側面によると、前記台車が進行する際に、進行方向前側に設けられた自在キャスタの車輪の走行面に対する接地点が固定キャスタの車輪の接地点よりも低い状態になり、進行方向後側に設けられた自在キャスタの車輪の走行面に対する接地点が固定キャスタの車輪の接地点よりも高い状態になる。このため、どちらの方向に台車を進行させたとしても、常に、進行方向前側では自在キャスタが接地している状態となり、進行方向後側では固定キャスタが接地している状態にすることができる。これにより、台車の前進時、後進時の両方でカーブ走行ができるようになり、台車の使い勝手が良くなる。よって、台車の進行方向を前後逆転させた場合でも、使い勝手が悪くならない。 According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the carriage travels, the grounding point with respect to the traveling surface of the wheel of the free caster wheel provided on the front side in the traveling direction is lower than the grounding point of the wheel of the fixed caster, The grounding point with respect to the traveling surface of the wheel of the free caster wheel provided on the rear side in the traveling direction is higher than the grounding point of the wheel of the fixed caster. Therefore, regardless of which direction the carriage is advanced, the universal caster is always in contact with the front side in the traveling direction, and the fixed caster is in contact with the rear side in the traveling direction. As a result, the vehicle can travel in a curve both when the cart is moving forward and when the cart is moving backward, and the ease of use of the cart is improved. Therefore, even when the traveling direction of the carriage is reversed backwards and forwards, usability does not deteriorate.
 本発明の第2の側面においては、自在キャスタは、車輪架台の向きを変える際の回転中心となる回転中心軸を備え、前記回転中心軸が設けられた車輪架台の上面が、荷台部に設けられた進行方向に対して傾斜する傾斜面に面接触して、前記回転中心軸が前記傾斜面に直角に通されており、台車が進行する際に、進行方向前側の自在キャスタの車輪が路面からの摩擦力を受けて車輪架台が向きを変える際、前記車輪架台が回転中心軸を中心に回転して傾斜面の働きで姿勢が変わることで、前記車輪中心が下方に移動する構成である。即ち、自在キャスタの車輪架台が回転して姿勢を変えることにより、車輪中心が下方に移動する構成であるため、構造が簡単で信頼性が高い。また、特別な駆動源も不要になるため、コストが高くならない。 In the second aspect of the present invention, the universal caster includes a rotation center shaft serving as a rotation center when the direction of the wheel mount is changed, and the upper surface of the wheel mount provided with the rotation center shaft is provided in the loading platform. The rotation center axis is passed through the inclined surface at right angles to the inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the traveling direction, and the wheel of the free caster on the front side in the traveling direction is the road surface when the carriage travels. When the wheel cradle changes its direction upon receiving the frictional force from the wheel, the wheel cradle rotates around the rotation center axis, and the posture is changed by the action of the inclined surface, so that the wheel center moves downward. . That is, since the wheel center of the universal caster rotates and changes its posture, the center of the wheel moves downward, so the structure is simple and the reliability is high. In addition, no special drive source is required, so the cost does not increase.
 本発明の第3の側面においては、台車が進行する際に、進行方向後側の自在キャスタの車輪が路面からの摩擦力を受けて車輪架台が向きを変える際、前記車輪架台が回転中心軸を中心に回転して傾斜面の働きで姿勢が変わることで、前記車輪中心が上方に移動する構成である。 In the third aspect of the present invention, when the carriage advances, when the wheel of the free caster on the rear side in the traveling direction receives a frictional force from the road surface and the wheel pedestal changes its direction, The wheel center moves upward by rotating around the center of the wheel and changing the posture by the action of the inclined surface.
 本発明の第4の側面においては、荷台部には、台車を進行方向に複数台連結するための連結部が設けられており、自在キャスタは、固定キャスタを進行方向前後から挟むように配置されている。このため、先頭の台車がカーブするように進行したときに、後続の台車は荷台部の進行方向端部の位置で舵が切れるようになる。これにより、先頭の台車と後続の台車との間でカーブ走行時に生じる内輪差を小さくすることができる。 In the fourth aspect of the present invention, the loading platform is provided with a coupling portion for coupling a plurality of carts in the traveling direction, and the universal caster is disposed so as to sandwich the fixed caster from the front and rear in the traveling direction. ing. For this reason, when the leading carriage travels so as to curve, the following carriage is steered at the position of the end portion in the traveling direction of the loading platform. Thereby, the inner ring | wheel difference which arises at the time of curve driving | running | working between a head trolley | bogie and a subsequent trolley | bogie can be made small.
 本発明の第5の側面においては、固定キャスタは、進行方向に沿って複数並んだ状態で取付けられており、進行方向前側の自在キャスタと、進行方向後側の固定キャスタとが接地するように構成されている。このため、荷台部にかかる荷重を進行方向前後に広い面積で支持できるようになる。 In the fifth aspect of the present invention, a plurality of fixed casters are attached in a line along the traveling direction, so that the free caster on the front side in the traveling direction and the fixed caster on the rear side in the traveling direction are grounded. It is configured. For this reason, the load applied to the loading platform can be supported in a wide area before and after the traveling direction.
 本発明の第6の側面においては、荷台部には、進行方向にスライド移動できるように構成されたスライド部品が設けられて、そのスライド部品に前記固定キャスタが取付けられており、台車が進行する際に、前記スライド部品は進行方向後側にスライド移動するように構成されている。このため、固定キャスタの数を減らした構造において、荷台部にかかる荷重を進行方向前後に広い面積で支持できるようになる。 In the sixth aspect of the present invention, the loading platform is provided with a sliding component configured to be slidable in the traveling direction, and the fixed caster is attached to the sliding component, and the carriage advances. In this case, the slide component is configured to slide and move rearward in the traveling direction. For this reason, in the structure in which the number of fixed casters is reduced, the load applied to the loading platform can be supported in a wide area before and after the traveling direction.
 本発明の第7の側面においては、荷台部が少なくとも1つの固定キャスタと複数の自在キャスタとにより支持されている台車であって、前記自在キャスタは、前記荷台部の前側と後側とにそれぞれ設けられており、前記自在キャスタの車輪架台には、該車輪架台が向きを変える際の回転中心となる回転中心軸が設けられており、前側の前記自在キャスタの前記回転中心軸における回転軸心が、前記荷台部に対して前方向下方に傾斜した状態に設定されており、後側の前記自在キャスタの前記回転中心軸における回転軸心が、前記荷台部に対して後方向下方に傾斜した状態に設定されている。 In a seventh aspect of the present invention, the platform is supported by at least one fixed caster and a plurality of universal casters, and the universal casters are respectively provided on the front side and the rear side of the platform. A rotation center axis serving as a center of rotation when the wheel base changes direction is provided on the wheel base of the universal caster, and the rotation axis of the rotation center axis of the front side free caster Is set in a state of being inclined forward and downward with respect to the loading platform, and the rotation axis of the rotation center axis of the rear free caster is inclined backward and downward with respect to the loading platform.

The inclined component 17 is provided with a mounting portion 143 which is a plate-shaped component for rotatably mounting the universal caster 14. As shown in FIG. 3, the attachment portion 143 has an inclined surface 148 at its lower end surface. The front inclined component 17 is attached to the front side of the loading platform 11 so that the front side of the inclined surface 148 is higher. In addition, the rear inclined component 17 is attached to the rear side of the loading platform 11 so that the rear side of the inclined surface 148 becomes higher.
<自在キャスタ14について>
 自在キャスタ14は、図1,2に示すように、荷台部11の前端部と後端部とに、それぞれ2つずつ左右一組で並んで取付けられ、後記する固定キャスタ15を前後から挟むように配置されている。自在キャスタ14は、図3に示すように、車輪141と、前記車輪141を転動可能に支持する車輪中心146を有する車輪架台142とを備えている。車輪架台142の上面147には、回転中心軸144Aが上面147に対して直角に突出形成されている。そして、この回転中心軸144Aが取付け部143の傾斜面148に対して直角に通されることで、自在キャスタ14の車輪架台142の上面147が傾斜面148と面接触した状態で、取付け部143に対して取付けられている。取付け部143には、回転中心軸144Aに対する適宜の軸受け構造(図示しない)が設けられており、自在キャスタ14は、回転中心軸144Aの回転軸心144を中心に回転自在な状態となっている。即ち、回転軸心144は、図3に示すように、荷台部11に対して所定角度(例えば、10度)で傾斜している状態となっている。より具体的には、前側の自在キャスタ14fは、該前側の自在キャスタ14fの回転軸心144が荷台部11から下方に向かうにつれて前方(前方向下方)に傾斜した状態になるように、設けられている。一方、後側の自在キャスタ14rは、該後側の自在キャスタ14rの回転軸心144が荷台部11から下方に向かうにつれて後方(後方向下方)に傾斜した状態になるように、設けられている。自在キャスタ14の車輪架台142は、車輪中心146が回転軸心144よりも半径方向外側に位置するように偏心した状態になっている。したがって、自在キャスタ14の車輪141が走行面からの抵抗を受けて車輪架台142が向きを変える際、車輪架台142が回転軸心144を中心に回転すると、車輪架台142の上面147と取付け部143の傾斜面148とが摺動して、図3の実線と2点鎖線とで示すように、車輪架台142の姿勢が変更されて、車輪中心146の位置が上下方向に移動する。これにより、自在キャスタ14の車輪141の接地点145が高さ位置Hと高さ位置Lとの間で変動する。高さ位置Hは、後記する固定キャスタ15の車輪151の接地点155の高さ位置よりも高くなるように設定されており、高さ位置Lは、低くなるように設定されている。
<About Swivel Caster 14>
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the universal casters 14 are attached to the front end portion and the rear end portion of the loading platform 11 in a pair of left and right, respectively, and sandwich the fixed casters 15 described later from the front and rear. Is arranged. As shown in FIG. 3, the universal caster 14 includes a wheel 141 and a wheel mount 142 having a wheel center 146 that supports the wheel 141 in a rollable manner. On the upper surface 147 of the wheel mount 142, a rotation center shaft 144 </ b> A is formed to project at a right angle to the upper surface 147. The rotation center shaft 144A is passed through the inclined surface 148 of the attachment portion 143 at a right angle, so that the attachment portion 143 is in a state where the upper surface 147 of the wheel base 142 of the universal caster 14 is in surface contact with the inclined surface 148. Installed against. The mounting portion 143 is provided with an appropriate bearing structure (not shown) for the rotation center shaft 144A, and the universal caster 14 is in a state of being rotatable about the rotation axis 144 of the rotation center shaft 144A. . That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the rotation axis 144 is inclined at a predetermined angle (for example, 10 degrees) with respect to the loading platform 11. More specifically, the front universal caster 14f is provided such that the rotation axis 144 of the front universal caster 14f is inclined forward (downward in the front direction) as it goes downward from the loading platform 11. ing. On the other hand, the rear universal caster 14r is provided such that the rotational axis 144 of the rear universal caster 14r is inclined rearward (rearwardly downward) as it goes downward from the loading platform 11. . The wheel pedestal 142 of the universal caster 14 is in an eccentric state such that the wheel center 146 is positioned on the radially outer side with respect to the rotation axis 144. Therefore, when the wheel 141 of the universal caster 14 receives resistance from the traveling surface and the wheel mount 142 changes its direction, when the wheel mount 142 rotates about the rotation axis 144, the upper surface 147 of the wheel mount 142 and the attachment portion 143 are arranged. As shown by a solid line and a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3, the posture of the wheel mount 142 is changed, and the position of the wheel center 146 moves in the vertical direction. As a result, the ground contact point 145 of the wheel 141 of the universal caster 14 varies between the height position H and the height position L.

<自在キャスタ14及び固定キャスタ15の動作について>
 次に、本実施形態に係る台車10が進行するときの自在キャスタ14及び固定キャスタ15の動作について説明する。図1に示すように、前後方向に連結している状態の台車10のうち、最前の台車10fの操作部12を牽引して前進させると、台車10の前側の自在キャスタ14fが走行面Fからの摩擦力(抵抗)を受ける。これにより、自在キャスタ14fの車輪架台142は、車輪中心146が荷台部11の傾斜部品17に対して後方に移動するように向きを変える。即ち、前側の自在キャスタ14fの車輪架台142は、その車輪架台142の回転中心軸144Aの回転軸心144を中心に回転して姿勢が変わり、図3の実線で示すように、その車輪中心146が下方に移動する。これにより、前側の自在キャスタ14fの車輪141の走行面Fに対する接地点145は、固定キャスタ15の車輪151の接地点155よりも低い高さ位置Lとなり、図5に示すように、接地している状態になる。
<Operation of the universal caster 14 and the fixed caster 15>
Next, operations of the universal caster 14 and the fixed caster 15 when the cart 10 according to the present embodiment proceeds will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, when the operation unit 12 of the foremost carriage 10 f is pulled and advanced among the carriages 10 connected in the front-rear direction, the free caster 14 f on the front side of the carriage 10 moves from the traveling surface F. The frictional force (resistance) is received. Thereby, the wheel mount 142 of the universal caster 14 f changes its direction so that the wheel center 146 moves rearward with respect to the inclined component 17 of the loading platform 11. That is, the wheel base 142 of the front universal caster 14f rotates around the rotation axis 144 of the rotation center shaft 144A of the wheel base 142 and changes its posture, and as shown by the solid line in FIG. Moves downward. As a result, the ground contact point 145 with respect to the traveling surface F of the wheel 141 of the front universal caster 14f is at a height position L lower than the ground contact point 155 of the wheel 151 of the fixed caster 15, and is grounded as shown in FIG. It will be in a state.
 同様に、後側の自在キャスタ14rの車輪架台142は、走行面Fからの摩擦力(抵抗)を受けて、車輪中心146が荷台部11の傾斜部品17に対して後方に移動するように向きを変える。即ち、後側の自在キャスタ14rの車輪架台142は、その車輪架台142の回転中心軸144Aの回転軸心144を中心に回転して姿勢が変わり、図3の実線で示すように、その車輪中心146が上方に移動する。これにより、後側の自在キャスタ14rの車輪141の走行面Fに対する接地点145は、固定キャスタ15の車輪151の接地点155よりも高い高さ位置Hとなり、図3~5に示すように、走行面Fから間隔S1分だけ浮いている状態となる。このようにして、前側の自在キャスタ14fが接地し、後側の自在キャスタ14rが浮くと、図5に示すように、前側の自在キャスタ14fによって、荷台部11がわずかに押し上げられて後方に傾斜し、前側の固定キャスタ15fが間隔S2分だけ浮いて、後側の固定キャスタ15rが接地する状態となる。即ち、進行方向前側(前方)では前側の自在キャスタ14fが接地して荷台部11を支持し、進行方向後側(後方)では後側の固定キャスタ15rが接地して荷台部11を支持している状態となる。これにより、最前の台車10fを操作部12の位置で牽引して、台車10を前進させる時において、カーブ走行ができるようになる。 Similarly, the wheel pedestal 142 of the rear free caster 14r receives the frictional force (resistance) from the traveling surface F and is oriented so that the wheel center 146 moves rearward with respect to the inclined component 17 of the loading platform 11. change. That is, the wheel pedestal 142 of the rear free caster 14r rotates around the rotation axis 144 of the rotation center shaft 144A of the wheel pedestal 142 and changes its posture, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 146 moves upward. As a result, the ground contact point 145 with respect to the traveling surface F of the wheel 141 of the rear universal caster 14r becomes a height position H higher than the ground contact point 155 of the wheel 151 of the fixed caster 15, and as shown in FIGS. The vehicle floats from the running surface F by an interval S1. In this way, when the front universal caster 14f is grounded and the rear universal caster 14r is floated, as shown in FIG. 5, the loading platform 11 is slightly pushed up by the front universal caster 14f and tilted backward. Then, the front fixed caster 15f floats by the interval S2, and the rear fixed caster 15r is brought into a grounded state. That is, on the front side (front) in the traveling direction, the front free caster 14f is grounded to support the loading platform 11, and on the rear side (backward) in the traveling direction, the rear fixed caster 15r is grounded to support the loading platform 11. It becomes a state. As a result, when the front truck 10f is pulled at the position of the operation unit 12 and the truck 10 is moved forward, the vehicle can travel in a curve.
 台車10を停止させると、浮いている状態の後側の自在キャスタ14rは、自重によって回転し、走行面Fとかるく接した状態となる。ここから、最後の台車10r(図1参照)の操作部12を牽引して後進させると、後側の自在キャスタ14rの車輪141が走行面Fからの摩擦力(抵抗)を受けて、図3の二点鎖線で示すように、車輪架台142の車輪中心146が荷台部11の傾斜部品17に対して前方に移動するように車輪架台142は向きを変える。同様に、前側の自在キャスタ14fにおいても、その車輪141が走行面Fからの摩擦力(抵抗)を受けて、図3の二点鎖線で示すように、車輪架台142の車輪中心146が荷台部11の傾斜部品17に対して前方に移動するように車輪架台142は向きを変える。これにより、自在キャスタ14f,14rの車輪架台142は、回転軸心144を中心に回転して姿勢が変わるため、前側の自在キャスタ14fの車輪中心146が上方に移動して、その車輪141の走行面Fに対する接地点145が高さ位置Hに切り替わる一方、後側の自在キャスタ14rの車輪中心146は下方に移動して、その車輪141の走行面Fに対する接地点145が高さ位置Lに切り替わる。そうすると、図6に示すように、後側の自在キャスタ14rが接地している状態となって、荷台部11をわずかに押し上げるため、後側の固定キャスタ15rが浮き、前側の固定キャスタ15fが接地している状態となる。即ち、進行方向前側(後方)では後側の自在キャスタ14rが、進行方向後側(前方)では前側の固定キャスタ15fが接地して荷台部11を支持している状態となる。これにより、最後の台車10rを操作部12の位置で牽引して、台車10を後進させる時においても、カーブ走行ができるようになる。 When the carriage 10 is stopped, the free caster 14r on the rear side in the floating state is rotated by its own weight and is in a state of being in contact with the running surface F. From this point, when the operation unit 12 of the last carriage 10r (see FIG. 1) is pulled and moved backward, the wheels 141 of the rear free caster 14r receive frictional force (resistance) from the running surface F, and FIG. As shown by the two-dot chain line, the wheel mount 142 changes its direction so that the wheel center 146 of the wheel mount 142 moves forward with respect to the inclined component 17 of the loading platform 11. Similarly, in the free caster 14f on the front side, the wheel 141 receives the frictional force (resistance) from the running surface F, and the wheel center 146 of the wheel mount 142 is the loading part as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The wheel mount 142 changes its direction so as to move forward with respect to the eleven inclined parts 17. As a result, the wheel bases 142 of the universal casters 14f and 14r rotate around the rotation axis 144 and change their postures, so that the wheel center 146 of the universal caster 14f on the front side moves upward, and the wheels 141 run. While the ground contact point 145 with respect to the surface F is switched to the height position H, the wheel center 146 of the rear free caster 14r moves downward, and the ground contact point 145 with respect to the traveling surface F of the wheel 141 is switched to the height position L. . Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the rear universal caster 14r is in a grounded state, and the loading platform 11 is slightly pushed up, so that the rear stationary caster 15r is floated and the front stationary caster 15f is grounded. It will be in the state. That is, the rear caster 14r on the front side in the traveling direction (rear) and the front fixed caster 15f on the rear side (front) in the traveling direction are grounded to support the loading platform 11. As a result, even when the last cart 10r is pulled at the position of the operation unit 12 and the cart 10 is moved backward, the vehicle can travel in a curve.
<実施形態1に係る台車10の長所>
 本実施形態に係る台車10は、台車10が進行する際に、進行方向前側に設けられた自在キャスタ14の車輪141の走行面Fに対する接地点145が固定キャスタ15の車輪151の接地点155よりも低い状態(高さ位置L)になり、進行方向後側に設けられた自在キャスタ14の車輪141の走行面Fに対する接地点145が固定キャスタ15の車輪151の接地点155よりも高い状態(高さ位置H)になる。このため、どちらの方向に台車10を進行させたとしても、常に、進行方向前側では自在キャスタ14が接地している状態となり、進行方向後側では固定キャスタ15が接地している状態にすることができる。これにより、台車10の前進時、後進時の両方でカーブ走行ができるようになり、台車10の使い勝手が良くなる。よって、台車10の進行方向を前後逆転させた場合でも、使い勝手が悪くならない。また、自在キャスタ14の車輪架台142が回転して姿勢を変えることにより、車輪中心146が下方に移動する構成であるため、構造が簡単で信頼性が高い。また、特別な駆動源も不要になるため、コストが高くならない。また、先頭の台車10がカーブするように進行したときに、後続の台車10は荷台部11の進行方向端部の位置で舵が切れるようになる。これにより、先頭の台車10と後続の台車10との間でカーブ走行時に生じる内輪差を小さくすることができる。また、荷台部11にかかる荷重を進行方向前後に広い面積で支持できるようになる。
<Advantages of the cart 10 according to the first embodiment>
In the cart 10 according to the present embodiment, when the cart 10 travels, the grounding point 145 with respect to the traveling surface F of the wheel 141 of the free caster 14 provided on the front side in the traveling direction is greater than the grounding point 155 of the wheel 151 of the fixed caster 15. The ground contact point 145 with respect to the traveling surface F of the wheel 141 of the free caster 14 provided on the rear side in the traveling direction is higher than the ground contact point 155 of the wheel 151 of the fixed caster 15 (the height position L). Height position H). For this reason, no matter which direction the carriage 10 is advanced, the universal caster 14 is always grounded on the front side in the traveling direction, and the fixed caster 15 is grounded on the rear side in the traveling direction. Can do. As a result, the vehicle can travel in a curve both when the carriage 10 moves forward and when the carriage 10 moves backward, and the usability of the carriage 10 is improved. Therefore, even when the traveling direction of the carriage 10 is reversed in the front-rear direction, the usability does not deteriorate. In addition, since the wheel center 142 of the universal caster 14 rotates and changes its posture, the wheel center 146 moves downward, so that the structure is simple and highly reliable. In addition, no special drive source is required, so the cost does not increase. Further, when the leading carriage 10 travels so as to curve, the following carriage 10 can be turned at the position of the end portion in the traveling direction of the loading platform 11. Thereby, the inner ring | wheel difference which arises at the time of curve driving | running | working between the top trolley | bogie 10 and the succeeding trolley | bogie 10 can be made small. Further, the load applied to the loading platform 11 can be supported in a wide area before and after the traveling direction.

[Embodiment 2]
Hereinafter, the cart 50 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The cart 50 according to the present embodiment is a modified structure for installing the fixed caster 15 of the cart 10 according to the first embodiment, and the other structure is the same as that of the cart 10 according to the first embodiment. . For this reason, about the same member as the trolley | bogie 10 which concerns on Embodiment 1, the same number is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.
 本実施形態に係る台車50には、図7に示すように、荷台部11の左端部と右端部とに橋架されるようにして、スライド部品51が設けられている。このスライド部品51は、荷台部11の下面の左端部と右端部とにそれぞれ取付けられたレール部52,52と摺動することで、前後方向にスライド移動できるように構成されている。荷台部11の上面には、図7に示すように、前端ストッパ部53fと後端ストッパ部53rが設けられており、これにより、スライド部品51は、前側の自在キャスタ14fと後側の自在キャスタ14rの間でスライド移動するようになる。スライド部品51の下面には、固定キャスタ15が取付けられている。 As shown in FIG. 7, the cart 50 according to the present embodiment is provided with a slide component 51 so as to be bridged between the left end portion and the right end portion of the loading platform portion 11. The slide component 51 is configured to be slidable in the front-rear direction by sliding with rail portions 52 and 52 respectively attached to the left end portion and the right end portion of the lower surface of the loading platform portion 11. As shown in FIG. 7, a front end stopper portion 53f and a rear end stopper portion 53r are provided on the upper surface of the loading platform 11, so that the slide part 51 can be connected to the front free caster 14f and the rear free caster. It slides between 14r. A fixed caster 15 is attached to the lower surface of the slide part 51.
 台車50を前進させると、図8に示すように、固定キャスタ15及びスライド部品51は走行面Fからの摩擦力(抵抗)によってその場に保持され、台車50に対して相対的に後方向にスライド移動する。そして、スライド部品51が荷台部11の中央位置よりも後端部に近い位置まで移動すると、後端ストッパ部53rに当接し、後端ストッパ部53rに押されて台車50と共に移動するようになる。これと同時に、台車50の前進に伴って、図8に示すように、前側の自在キャスタ14f及び後側の自在キャスタ14rとが走行面Fからの摩擦力(抵抗)によって前方向を向くように回転することで、上記した実施形態1の台車10と同様に、前側の自在キャスタ14fが接地している状態になり、後側の自在キャスタ14rが浮いている状態になる。即ち、進行方向前側(前方)では自在キャスタ14fが接地し、進行方向後側(後方)では、スライド部品51に取付けられた固定キャスタ15が接地している状態になる。 When the carriage 50 is moved forward, as shown in FIG. 8, the fixed caster 15 and the slide part 51 are held in place by the frictional force (resistance) from the running surface F, and are moved backward relative to the carriage 50. Move the slide. When the slide component 51 moves to a position closer to the rear end than the center position of the loading platform 11, the slide component 51 comes into contact with the rear end stopper 53r and is moved by the rear end stopper 53r together with the carriage 50. . At the same time, as the carriage 50 moves forward, the front free caster 14f and the rear free caster 14r are directed forward by the frictional force (resistance) from the running surface F as shown in FIG. By rotating, the front free caster 14f is grounded and the rear free caster 14r is in a floating state, similar to the cart 10 of the first embodiment described above. That is, the free caster 14f is grounded on the front side (forward) in the traveling direction, and the fixed caster 15 attached to the slide component 51 is grounded on the rear side (back) in the traveling direction.
 同様に、台車50を後進させると、図9に示すように、スライド部品51は、台車50に対して相対的に前方向にスライド移動し、荷台部11の中央位置よりも前端部に近い位置まで移動すると、前端ストッパ部53fに当接し、台車50と共に移動するようになる。これと同時に、図9に示すように、前側の自在キャスタ14f及び後側の自在キャスタ14rとが後方向を向くように回転して、前側の自在キャスタ14fが浮き、後側の自在キャスタ14rが接地する。即ち、進行方向前側(後方)では自在キャスタ14rが接地し、進行方向後側(前方)では、スライド部品51に取付けられた固定キャスタ15が接地している状態になる。上記構成により、固定キャスタ15の数を減らした構造において、荷台部11にかかる荷重を進行方向前後に広い面積で支持できるようになる。 Similarly, when the carriage 50 is moved backward, as shown in FIG. 9, the slide component 51 slides forward relative to the carriage 50, and is closer to the front end than the center position of the loading platform 11. If it moves to, it will contact | abut to the front-end stopper part 53f, and will come to move with the trolley | bogie 50. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 9, the front universal caster 14f and the rear universal caster 14r rotate so as to face rearward, the front universal caster 14f floats, and the rear universal caster 14r Ground. That is, the free caster 14r is grounded on the front side (backward) in the traveling direction, and the fixed caster 15 attached to the slide part 51 is grounded on the rear side (front) in the traveling direction. With the above configuration, in the structure in which the number of the fixed casters 15 is reduced, the load applied to the loading platform 11 can be supported in a wide area before and after the traveling direction.
