The present invention relates to a multiple component for a telescopic device, a telescopic unit for a telescopic device, and a telescopic device that can be used for the above.
 伸縮動作を行うことのできる機具ないし道具の一つとして、伸縮自在なスライドレールがある。 There is a slide rail that can be extended and contracted as one of the tools or tools that can perform the expansion and contraction.
 スライドレールは古くから存在する。これは周知のとおり、複数のレール部材が伸縮するように組み合わされたものである。かかるスライドレールについては、下記の特許文献1~2やその他の特許文献で公開されている。スライドレールは、また、多くの技術分野で実用に供されている。 S Slide rails have existed for a long time. As is well known, a plurality of rail members are combined so as to expand and contract. Such slide rails are disclosed in the following patent documents 1 and 2 and other patent documents. Slide rails are also in practical use in many technical fields.
 スライドレールのような伸縮構造体については、これを搬送手段(移動手段)・操作手段・その他に適用することができる。一例として、スライドレールの先端部に物品を搭載してこれを伸縮させるものの場合、そのストロークの範囲内で物品の搬送(移動)が行える。他の一例として、スライドレールの先端部を引戸式ドアの後端面に連結して当該スライドレールを伸縮させるものでは、ドアの開閉操作が行えることとなる。さらに、スライドレールの構成要素であるレール部材が梯子構造のものからなるとき、これを伸縮させることで梯子を格出したり格納したりすることができる。 For the telescopic structure such as a slide rail, this can be applied to the conveying means (moving means), operating means, etc. As an example, when an article is mounted on the tip of the slide rail and is expanded or contracted, the article can be transported (moved) within the stroke range. As another example, a door that opens and closes can be opened and closed by connecting the front end of the slide rail to the rear end surface of the sliding door door and extending and retracting the slide rail. Furthermore, when the rail member which is a component of a slide rail consists of a ladder structure, a ladder can be specified and stored by expanding / contracting this.
 上記のような伸縮構造体(スライドレール)の適用例において、伸縮構造体を動力で伸縮させるときは、適当な駆動手段(動力源)たとえば油空圧シリンダ機構とか電動送りネジ機構とかが伸縮構造体に組み付けられる。 In the application example of the telescopic structure (slide rail) as described above, when the telescopic structure is expanded and contracted by power, an appropriate driving means (power source) such as an hydraulic / pneumatic cylinder mechanism or an electric feed screw mechanism is expanded and contracted. It is assembled to the body.
 スライドレールのような伸縮構造体に組み付けられる油空圧シリンダ機構や送りネジ機構の場合、収縮状態の伸縮構造体をフルに伸長させたり、逆には、伸長状態の伸縮構造体を元の状態にまで収縮させるたりするため、それに見合うストロークを有するものが必要となる。より具体的にいうと、油空圧シリンダの場合はピストンストロークの大きい機構のものを設備しなければならず、また、送りネジ機構の場合は長大な送りネジ軸を有する機構のものが不可欠となる。すなわち、かかる事情があるゆえ、スライドレールのような伸縮構造体を既成の動力源で作動させるときには、この種の装置の大型化を回避するのが困難になる。もちろん、こうした大型化は、装置のコンパクト化、小型化、軽量化などに好ましくない影響を与え、装置のコストアップをも惹起させる。 In the case of a hydraulic / pneumatic cylinder mechanism or a feed screw mechanism assembled to a telescopic structure such as a slide rail, the contracted stretchable structure is fully extended, or conversely, the stretched stretchable structure is restored to its original state. In order to make it contract, it is necessary to have a stroke corresponding to it. More specifically, in the case of a hydraulic / pneumatic cylinder, a mechanism with a large piston stroke must be installed, and in the case of a feed screw mechanism, a mechanism having a long feed screw shaft is essential. Become. That is, because of such circumstances, it is difficult to avoid an increase in the size of this type of device when operating a telescopic structure such as a slide rail with an existing power source. Of course, such an increase in size has an unfavorable effect on the downsizing, downsizing, and weight reduction of the apparatus, and causes an increase in the cost of the apparatus.
 したがって、この種の技術分野においては、装置の大型化を回避したりコストダウンをはかったりすることのできるものが希求される。それに装置運転時の安定性や制御性も重要な課題になる。 Therefore, in this type of technical field, there is a demand for a device that can avoid an increase in the size of the device and can reduce costs. In addition, stability and controllability during device operation are also important issues.
 しかしながら現状は、上述のような課題を解決した伸縮装置やそれに関連する技術の開発が満足になされていない。 However, at present, the development of a telescopic device that solves the above-mentioned problems and the related technology has not been satisfied.

That is, when S1 is an effective expansion / contraction stroke (hereinafter simply referred to as a stroke) of a telescopic structure and S2 is an effective expansion / contraction stroke (hereinafter simply referred to as a stroke) of a power machine, it is generally necessary that [S2 ≧ S1]. .
<従来技術:その2>
 従来の伸縮構造体を動力機械で伸縮させるとき、一方のストロークS1が小さければ、他方のストロークS2もそれに応じた小さいもので足りる。これは動力機械が小型でよいということである。しかしながら、一方のストロークS1が大きいものであるとき、他方のストロークS2がそれに応じて大きくなることは避けられない。すなわち、かかるケースときは、動力機械として大型のものが要求される。それゆえ、伸縮装置のコンパクト化が困難となり、同装置の小型化や軽量化も達成しがたくなる。
<Conventional technology: Part 2>
When the conventional telescopic structure is expanded and contracted by a power machine, if one stroke S1 is small, the other stroke S2 may be small correspondingly. This means that the power machine can be small. However, when one stroke S1 is large, it is inevitable that the other stroke S2 increases accordingly. That is, in such a case, a large-sized power machine is required. Therefore, it is difficult to make the telescopic device compact, and it is difficult to reduce the size and weight of the device.

 本発明のものでは、能動伸縮体と受動伸縮体とが共通の伸縮方向と同時伸縮性とを保持して連動伸縮自在に組み合わされる。そのうちの能動伸縮体は、パンタグラフ型のリンク構造体からなり、複数の斜方形部(菱形部)が一列状に連続している。このタイプのものにあっては、すべての斜方形部でなくとも、一つ(一部)のみの斜方形部を拡げたり縮めたりするだけで能動伸縮体全体が伸縮することとなる。
<Technology of the Invention: Part 1>
In the present invention, the active stretchable body and the passive stretchable body are combined so as to be interlocked and stretchable while maintaining a common stretch direction and simultaneous stretchability. Among them, the active expansion / contraction body is formed of a pantograph-type link structure, and a plurality of rhombic portions (diamond portions) are continuous in a line. In this type, even if not all of the rhombic portions, the entire active elastic body expands and contracts only by expanding or contracting only one (part) rhomboid portion.
<本発明技術:その2>
 本発明のものでは、伸縮動力発生機械からの伸縮動力を能動伸縮体に伝達することにより、両伸縮体(能動伸縮体と受動伸縮体)を伸縮させる。そのために伸縮動力発生機械の動力伝達部が能動伸縮体の力点部と連係している。したがって能動伸縮体には、伸縮動力発生機械からの伸縮用動力が付与される。この場合に重要なことは、能動伸縮体の中間部(先端部と基端部との間)に力点部が設定されていることである。より具体的な例で説明すると、能動伸縮体の有効伸縮ストロークをS3とした場合、[(1/2)×(S3)]または[(1/3)×(S3)]など当該ストロークS3を二分または三分する位置に力点部が設定されているのである。別の観点から説明すると、伸長状態または伸縮状態における能動伸縮体の長さをLとした場合、[(1/2)×L]または[(1/3)×L]を満足させる位置に力点部が設定されているのである。このように設定された能動伸縮体の力点部に伸縮動力発生機械の動力が伝達されたときは、上記「本発明の作用1」で述べたとおり、一部の斜方形部が拡縮することと連動して能動伸縮体全体が伸縮するようになる。
<Technology of the present invention: Part 2>
In the present invention, both expansion and contraction bodies (active and passive expansion bodies) are expanded and contracted by transmitting the expansion and contraction power from the expansion and contraction power generating machine to the active expansion and contraction body. Therefore, the power transmission part of the expansion / contraction power generation machine is linked with the power point part of the active expansion / contraction body. Therefore, the expansion / contraction power from the expansion / contraction power generation machine is applied to the active expansion / contraction body. What is important in this case is that a power point portion is set in the intermediate portion (between the distal end portion and the proximal end portion) of the active elastic body. More specifically, when the effective expansion / contraction stroke of the active expansion / contraction body is S3, the stroke S3 such as [(1/2) × (S3)] or [(1/3) × (S3)] is set. The force point is set at a position that bisects or divides. From another viewpoint, when L is the length of the active stretchable body in the stretched state or the stretched state, the focus is on a position that satisfies [(1/2) × L] or [(1/3) × L]. The part is set. When the power of the expansion / contraction power generation machine is transmitted to the force point portion of the active expansion / contraction body set in this way, as described in the above “action 1 of the present invention”, a part of the rhombic portion expands / contracts. In conjunction with this, the entire active expansion / contraction body expands and contracts.
<本発明技術:その3>
 能動伸縮体の力点部が上記のように設定されているものの場合、伸縮動力発生機械の有効伸縮ストロークS4としては、能動伸縮体の有効伸縮ストロークS3に応ずる必要がなく、上記[(1/2)×(S3)]または[(1/3)×(S3)]に対応できる程度のものでよくなる。したがって、伸縮動力発生機械としては、能動伸縮体の有効伸縮ストロークS3に対応することを要しないので、小型かつコンパクトなものでよいこととなる。
<Technology of the present invention: Part 3>
In the case where the power point portion of the active expansion / contraction body is set as described above, the effective expansion / contraction stroke S4 of the expansion / contraction power generation machine does not need to correspond to the effective expansion / contraction stroke S3 of the active expansion / contraction body, and the above [(1/2 ) × (S3)] or [(1/3) × (S3)]. Therefore, since the expansion / contraction power generation machine does not need to correspond to the effective expansion / contraction stroke S3 of the active expansion / contraction body, it can be small and compact.

 複コンポーネントまたは伸縮ユニットなどの要部構造部が昇降機構に組み付けられている伸縮装置の場合、昇降機構を介してその要部構造部を上下動させることにより、これを所要のレベルに調整することができる。これは、低所から高所または高所から低所のように、当該要部構造部の上下動という態様で伸縮装置の操作操業領域が上下方向に拡張するのであるから、伸縮装置を適用することのできる範囲が広がることとなり、利便性がより高まる。
<Technology of the present invention: Part 4>
In the case of an expansion / contraction device in which a main part structure such as a multi-component or expansion / contraction unit is assembled to an elevating mechanism, the main part structure is moved up and down via the elevating mechanism to adjust it to a required level. Can do. This is because the operation operation area of the expansion / contraction device expands in the vertical direction in the form of vertical movement of the relevant structure, such as from low to high or from high to low. The range that can be expanded will be expanded and the convenience will be further enhanced.
<本発明技術:その5>
 複コンポーネントまたは伸縮ユニットなどの要部構造部が走行自在な車両に組み付けられている伸縮装置の場合、その車両を走行させることで伸縮装置を所要ないし所望の位置まで移動させることができる。これも、当該要部構造部の移動という態様で伸縮装置の操作操業領域が拡張するのであるから、伸縮装置を適用することのできる範囲が広がることとなり、利便性がより高まる。とくにこの場合の伸縮装置は、工場などにおける「ロボットハンド付き無人搬送車」にも適用できるものである。
<Technology of the present invention: Part 5>
In the case of an expansion / contraction device in which a main structure such as a multi-component or expansion / contraction unit is assembled in a vehicle that can travel, the expansion / contraction device can be moved to a required or desired position by running the vehicle. This also expands the operation operation area of the expansion / contraction device in the form of movement of the relevant part structure portion, so that the range in which the expansion / contraction device can be applied is expanded and the convenience is further enhanced. In particular, the telescopic device in this case can be applied to an “automatic guided vehicle with a robot hand” in a factory or the like.
<本発明技術:その6>
 複コンポーネントまたは伸縮ユニットなどの要部構造部が、走行自在な車両の昇降機構に組み付けられている伸縮装置の場合、その車両を走行させることで伸縮装置を所要ないし所望の位置まで移動させることができるとともに、昇降機構を介してその要部構造部を上下動させることにより、これを所要のレベルに調整することができる。これは装置全体の走行移動機能と要部構造部の上下動機能とを兼備するものであるから、伸縮装置としてより機能性の高いものになる。かかる伸縮装置も、工場などにおける「ロボットハンド付き無人搬送車」にも適用できるものである。
<Technology of the Invention: Part 6>
In the case where the main structural portion such as a multi-component or expansion / contraction unit is an expansion / contraction device that is assembled in a lift mechanism of a freely movable vehicle, the expansion / contraction device can be moved to a required or desired position by running the vehicle. In addition, it can be adjusted to a required level by moving its main structure up and down via the lifting mechanism. Since this has both the traveling movement function of the whole apparatus and the up-and-down movement function of the principal part structure part, it becomes a thing with higher functionality as an expansion-contraction apparatus. Such a telescopic device can also be applied to a “automated guided vehicle with a robot hand” in a factory or the like.
 本発明に係る伸縮装置用複コンポーネント、本発明に係る伸縮装置用伸縮ユニット、本発明に係る伸縮装置は、課題解決手段の欄に記載された既述の構成を具備するものであるから、下記<11>~<21>で述べるような効果がある。 Since the multi-component for a telescopic device according to the present invention, the telescopic unit for the telescopic device according to the present invention, and the telescopic device according to the present invention have the above-described configuration described in the column of problem solving means, There are effects as described in <11> to <21>.
[コンパクト化と小型化と軽量化]
<11> 本発明における能動伸縮体は、その中間部(先端部と基端部との間)に伸縮動力の伝達を受けるための力点部が設定されている。かかる場合、能動伸縮体の力点部に伸縮動力を伝達するための伸縮動力発生機械はコンパクトかつ小型のものでよく、それが伸縮装置のコンパクト化、小型化、軽量化などを実現させる。
[Compact, compact and lightweight]
<11> In the active elastic body according to the present invention, a force point portion for receiving the transmission of the expansion / contraction power is set at an intermediate portion (between the distal end portion and the base end portion). In such a case, the expansion / contraction power generation machine for transmitting the expansion / contraction power to the power point portion of the active expansion / contraction body may be compact and small, which realizes the expansion / contraction apparatus to be compact, small and light.
[強度の向上]
<12> 自明のとおり、補強部材などが組み合わされた装置の構成要素は、それ単体の場合よりも高強度である。それは本発明における能動伸縮体や受動伸縮体についてもいえることである。しかしながら、非伸縮性の補強部材を組み合わせることで伸縮体を補強するのは概して難しい。
<13> 本発明において互いに連動するように組み合わされる両伸縮体(能動伸縮体と受動伸縮体)は、一方の伸縮体が他方の伸縮体を補強し、他方の伸縮体が一方の伸縮体を補強するという相互補完の関係にあるから、それぞれが単体で独立した構成要素となる場合よりも格段に強度が増す。しかもこれは、非伸縮体と伸縮体との組み合わせでなく、伸縮体相互の組み合わせであるから、機能面でも整合性をとることができる。さらに、能動伸縮体と受動伸縮体という不可欠構成要素の組み合わせであるから、すなわち、別途補強部材を要することのない組み合わせであるから、経済的に強度上の効果が得られる。
<14> 本発明においては、能動伸縮体が単数または複数であったり、受動伸縮体が単数または複数であったり、伸縮動力発生機械が単数または複数であったりする。このようにバリエーションに富むものであるときは、規模・能力・強度・価格・その他各種の要求に応ずることのできる伸縮装置を容易に具現することができる。具体例でいうと、重い加工物やその他の物品を移動させたり搬送したりする場合の伸縮装置として、とくに望ましいものとなる。
[Improvement of strength]
<12> As is obvious, the components of a device combined with a reinforcing member have higher strength than a single component. This is also true for the active and passive elastic bodies in the present invention. However, it is generally difficult to reinforce a stretchable body by combining non-stretchable reinforcing members.
<13> In the present invention, both stretchable bodies (active stretchable body and passive stretchable body) combined so as to be interlocked with each other reinforce one stretchable body, and the other stretchable body replaces the other stretchable body. Since they are in a mutually complementary relationship of reinforcement, the strength is significantly increased as compared with the case where each becomes a single independent component. Moreover, since this is not a combination of a non-stretchable body and a stretchable body, but a combination of stretchable bodies, it is possible to achieve consistency in terms of function. Furthermore, since it is a combination of indispensable components such as an active elastic body and a passive elastic body, that is, a combination that does not require a separate reinforcing member, an effect on strength can be obtained economically.
<14> In the present invention, there may be one or more active elastic members, one or more passive elastic members, or one or more elastic power generation machines. In this way, when it is rich in variations, it is possible to easily implement a telescopic device that can meet various requirements such as scale, capacity, strength, price, and the like. As a specific example, it is particularly desirable as a telescopic device for moving or transporting a heavy workpiece or other article.
[簡潔性]
<15> 本発明における主たる構成要素は、能動伸縮体と受動伸縮体と伸縮動力発生機械である。すなわちこれは、主たる構成要素が三要素のように少ないものであるから、伸縮装置の構成を簡潔にすることができる。
[Conciseness]
<15> Main constituent elements in the present invention are an active stretch body, a passive stretch body, and a stretching power generation machine. That is, since the number of main components is as small as three elements, the configuration of the telescopic device can be simplified.
[コストダウン]
<16> 一般に、伸縮動力発生機械は、油空圧シリンダ、送りネジ機構、その他いずれのタイプを採用しても大型化や高額化する傾向にある。
<17> 本発明における伸縮動力発生機械としては、既述の理由で小型かつ低価格のものを採用することができる。自明のとおり、小型の伸縮動力発生機械は、大型のそれに比して低価格である。ゆえに本発明の場合、これに依拠して伸縮装置のコストダウンをはかることができる。
[Cost reduction]
<16> In general, expansion / contraction power generation machines tend to be larger and more expensive regardless of the type of hydraulic / pneumatic cylinder, feed screw mechanism, etc.
<17> As the telescopic power generating machine in the present invention, a small and low-priced machine can be adopted for the reasons already described. As is obvious, a small expansion / contraction power generation machine is less expensive than a large one. Therefore, in the case of the present invention, the cost of the telescopic device can be reduced based on this.
[伸縮動作の制御性]
<18> 本発明のものにおいては、原動伸縮体ともいえる能動伸縮体が伸縮動作を主体的に支配する。すなわち、伸縮動力発生機械から伸縮用動力の伝達を受けた能動伸縮体(原動伸縮体)が、従動伸縮体ともいえる受動伸縮体の伸縮を支配する。かかる能動伸縮体は既述のとおり、複数の斜方形部(菱形部)が一列状に連続したパンタグラフ型のリンク構造体からなる。このパンタグラフ型リンク構造体の場合、各斜方形部が同期して収縮変形したり拡張変形したりすることで伸縮するのであるが、その際における個々の斜方形部の変形量は互いに等しい。たとえば、一つの斜方形部が[1/2]だけ変形したとき、残る斜方形部もすべて[1/2]だけ変形し、その各変形量の積算値(累計値)が能動伸縮体の総変形量となる。しかも、斜方形部一つあたりの変形量もパンタグラフ型リンク構造体の形状構造から簡単に算出して既知量とすることができ、一方では、能動伸縮体の総変形量が伸縮動力発生機械の動力伝達量ないしストローク量に比例する。伸縮動力発生機械を介して能動伸縮体を伸縮させるとき、これらの事項を踏まえて制御することでその伸縮動作を精密にコントロールすることができ、その精密な伸縮動作を受動伸縮体にも反映させることができるから、伸縮動作の制御性がきわめて高いものとなる。
[Controllability of telescopic motion]
<18> In the present invention, the active expansion / contraction body, which can be called the driving expansion / contraction body, mainly controls the expansion / contraction operation. That is, the active expansion / contraction body (primary expansion / contraction body) that receives the expansion / contraction power transmitted from the expansion / contraction power generation machine dominates the expansion / contraction of the passive expansion / contraction body that can be said to be a driven expansion / contraction body. As described above, such an active expansion / contraction body is composed of a pantograph-type link structure in which a plurality of rhombic portions (diamond portions) are continuous in a line. In the case of this pantograph-type link structure, each rhombic portion expands and contracts by synchronously contracting and expanding, but the deformation amount of each rhombic portion is equal to each other. For example, when one rhombic part is deformed by [1/2], all the remaining rhombus parts are also deformed by [1/2], and the integrated value (cumulative value) of each deformation amount is the total of the active expansion and contraction body. The amount of deformation. Moreover, the amount of deformation per rhombic part can be easily calculated from the shape structure of the pantograph-type link structure to be a known amount. On the other hand, the total amount of deformation of the active expansion / contraction body is the amount of the expansion / contraction power generation machine. It is proportional to the amount of power transmission or stroke. When expanding and contracting an active expansion / contraction body via an expansion / contraction power generation machine, it is possible to precisely control the expansion / contraction operation by controlling based on these matters, and the precise expansion / contraction operation is reflected in the passive expansion / contraction body. Therefore, the controllability of the expansion / contraction operation is extremely high.
[伸縮動作の安定性と確実性]
<19> 能動伸縮体、すなわち、複数の斜方形部が一列状に連続したパンタグラフ型リンク構造体は、複数のリンク片を連結ピン軸で伸縮自在に連結しただけの簡潔構成を有するものである。一方でパンタグラフ型リンク構造体の基本動作は、各リンク片がそれぞれの連結ピン軸を支点に単純回動するというように、きわめて安定している。
<20> かかる能動伸縮体(パンタグラフ型リンク構造体)の場合、簡潔構成に基づいて安定した基本動作を行うのであるから、その伸縮動作も自ずと安定で確実なものになり、その安定性や確実性が受動伸縮体にも反映する。
[Stability and certainty of telescopic motion]
<19> An active expansion / contraction body, that is, a pantograph-type link structure in which a plurality of rhombic portions are arranged in a row has a simple configuration in which a plurality of link pieces are connected to each other by a connecting pin shaft so as to be extendable and contractible. . On the other hand, the basic operation of the pantograph-type link structure is extremely stable, such that each link piece simply rotates about its connecting pin shaft as a fulcrum.
<20> In the case of such an active expansion / contraction body (pantograph type link structure), since it performs stable basic operation based on a simple structure, the expansion / contraction operation is naturally stable and reliable, and its stability and reliability The nature is also reflected in the passive elastic body.
[伸縮動作の速動性]
<21> 伸縮動力発生機械からの動力伝達を受ける能動伸縮体の力点部は、その能動伸縮体の中間部(先端部と基端部との間)にある。このような力点部で伸縮動力発生機械からの動力伝達を受ける能動伸縮体の場合、これを伸縮させるときの伸縮動力発生機械側のストロークが短くてすむ。その理由は「本発明の作用2~3」で述べたとおりである。これは伸縮動力発生機械側の小さな動きで能動伸縮体を瞬時に大きく伸縮させることができるのであるから、能動伸縮体やこれと同期する受動伸縮体について、伸縮動作の速動性を発揮させることとなる。
[Rapid movement of telescopic motion]
<21> The force point portion of the active expansion / contraction body that receives the power transmission from the expansion / contraction power generation machine is located at the intermediate portion (between the distal end portion and the base end portion) of the active expansion / contraction body. In the case of an active expansion / contraction body that receives power transmitted from the expansion / contraction power generation machine at such a power point portion, a stroke on the expansion / contraction power generation machine side when expanding / contracting the expansion / contraction power generation unit can be shortened. The reason is as described in “Operations 2-3 of the present invention”. This is because the active telescopic body can be expanded and contracted greatly instantly with a small movement on the telescopic power generating machine side. It becomes.
[操作操業領域の拡張:その1]
<22> 複コンポーネントまたは伸縮ユニットなどの要部構造部が上下動自在な昇降機構に組み付けられている伸縮装置の場合、伸縮装置の操作操業領域が上下方向に拡張する。
[Expansion of operation operation area: Part 1]
<22> In the case of an expansion / contraction device in which a main part structure part such as a multiple component or expansion / contraction unit is assembled to an elevating mechanism that can move up and down, the operation operation area of the expansion / contraction device extends vertically.
[操作操業領域の拡張:その2]
<23> 複コンポーネントまたは伸縮ユニットなどの要部構造部が走行自在な車両に組み付けられている伸縮装置の場合、伸縮装置の操作操業領域がその車両の走行機能に依存して拡張する。かかる伸縮装置は、また、ロボットハンド付き無人搬送車(AGV)すなわち搬送手段として用いることができる。
[Expansion of operation area: Part 2]
<23> In the case of a telescopic device in which a main part structure such as a multi-component or telescopic unit is assembled in a vehicle that can travel, the operation operation area of the telescopic device is expanded depending on the traveling function of the vehicle. Such a telescopic device can also be used as an automatic guided vehicle (AGV) with a robot hand, that is, a conveying means.
[操作操業領域の拡張:その3]
<24> 複コンポーネントまたは伸縮ユニットなどの要部構造部が、走行自在な車両の昇降機構に組み付けられている伸縮装置の場合、装置全体の走行移動機能と要部構造部の上下動機能とを兼備するものであるから、伸縮装置としてより機能性の高いものになる。かかる伸縮装置も、ロボットハンド付き無人搬送車(AGV)すなわち搬送手段として用いることができる。
[Expansion of operation area: Part 3]
<24> In the case of an expansion / contraction device in which the main structural part such as a multi-component or expansion / contraction unit is assembled to a traveling vehicle lifting mechanism, the traveling movement function of the entire device and the vertical movement function of the main structural part are provided. Since they are used in combination, they become more functional as an extension device. Such a telescopic device can also be used as an automatic guided vehicle (AGV) with a robot hand, that is, a transport means.
[搬送経路の設定自由度]
<22> 走行自在な機能を有する伸縮装置の場合、その伸縮装置の走行自在性に依存して搬送経路を所望のものに設定することができる。かかる伸縮装置は、また、搬送手段として好適なものである。より具体的にいうと、伸縮装置が搬送対象物の供給元まで走行して停止したときには、伸縮動力発生機械を操作して搬送対象物を受け取るとともに、搬送対象物の供給先まで走行して停止したときには、伸縮動力発生機械を操作して搬送対象物を受け渡すのである。このようにして、走行自在な伸縮装置で搬送対象物を取り扱うときは、当該作業が高効率で行える。
[Degree of freedom for setting the transport route]
<22> In the case of an expansion / contraction device having a travelable function, the conveyance path can be set to a desired one depending on the travelability of the expansion / contraction device. Such a telescopic device is also suitable as a conveying means. More specifically, when the telescopic device travels to the supply source of the conveyance object and stops, it operates the expansion / contraction power generation machine to receive the conveyance object and travels to the supply destination of the conveyance object and stops. When this occurs, the telescopic power generating machine is operated to deliver the object to be conveyed. In this way, when handling an object to be transported with a travelable telescopic device, the work can be performed with high efficiency.

 本発明に係る伸縮装置用複コンポーネントの一実施形態について、図1~図3ならびに図5(A)を参照して説明する。 An embodiment of a multiple component for a telescopic device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIG. 5 (A).
 この一実施形態の複コンポーネント51は、図5(A)に略示されているように、能動伸縮体11と受動伸縮体21と伸縮動力発生機械31とを構成要素として具備するものである。 As shown schematically in FIG. 5A, the multi-component 51 of this embodiment includes an active elastic body 11, a passive elastic body 21, and an expansion power generation machine 31 as constituent elements.
 能動伸縮体11は図1(A)(B)で明らかなように、複数(多数)のリンク片12・12x・12yを複数(多数)の連結ピン軸13・13x・13y・13zにより伸縮自在に連結したものであり、かつ、複数(多数)の斜方形部14を一列状に連結させたパンタグラフ型のリンク構造体からなる。このようなパンタグラフ型のリンク構造体は、すでに公知ないし周知である。かかるパンタグラフ型リンク構造体は代表的一例として金属から成るが、このような金属製のパンタグラフ型リンク構造体も公知ないし周知である。 As can be seen from FIGS. 1A and 1B, the active elastic body 11 can be expanded and contracted by a plurality (many) of link pieces 12, 12x, and 12y by a plurality (many) of connecting pin shafts 13, 13x, 13y, and 13z. And a pantograph-type link structure in which a plurality (large number) of rhombic portions 14 are connected in a line. Such a pantograph type link structure is already known or well known. Such a pantograph type link structure is made of metal as a representative example, but such a metal pantograph type link structure is also known or well known.
 能動伸縮体11の各リンク片についていうと、能動伸縮体11の両端部にある各リンク片12x・12yは、能動伸縮体11の中間部にある各リンク片12の「1/2の長さ」のものである。能動伸縮体11の中間部にある多数のX字状リンクは、これらの両端部がそれぞれ隣接する相手側とピン連結されており、かつ、能動伸縮体11の両端部にある二つの倒V字状リンクと、これに隣接するX字状リンクとピン連結されている。このピン連結に際しては、通常、各リンク片12・12x・12yにおけるピン挿入孔の内周面と各連結ピン軸13・13x・13y・13zにおける外周面との間にベアリングが介在されることが望ましく、図示の実施形態では、そのようになっている。 Regarding each link piece of the active elastic body 11, the link pieces 12 x and 12 y at both ends of the active elastic body 11 are “1/2 lengths” of the link pieces 12 at the intermediate part of the active elastic body 11. "belongs to. A large number of X-shaped links in the middle part of the active elastic body 11 are pin-connected at both ends thereof to the adjacent counterparts, and two inverted V-characters at both end parts of the active elastic body 11 The link is pin-connected to the X-shaped link and the X-shaped link adjacent thereto. In this pin connection, a bearing is usually interposed between the inner peripheral surface of the pin insertion hole in each of the link pieces 12, 12x, and 12y and the outer peripheral surface of each of the connection pin shafts 13, 13x, 13y, and 13z. Desirably, this is the case in the illustrated embodiment.
 能動伸縮体11の場合、その長さ方向を基準にした中間部に連結ピン軸13zがあり、この連結ピン軸13zのある箇所が、伸縮動力を受けるための力点部15として設定されているのである。能動伸縮体11の力点部15の位置は、能動伸縮体11における両連結ピン軸13x・13y間の距離(寸法)をD1とし、能動伸縮体11における両連結ピン軸13x・13z間の距離(寸法)をD2とした場合、[D1>D2]なる不等式を満足させることが不可欠ある。望ましいD2は、[(4/5)×(D1)≧(D2)]なる式を満足させる。より望ましいケースでは、[(1/2)×(D1)≧(D2)]なる式を満足させる位置に力点部15が設定される。したがって、距離(寸法)D2については、[(1/2)×(D1)]、[(1/3)×(D1)]、[(1/4)×(D1)]などのいずれかであることが多い。能動伸縮体11の力点部15の位置D2については、たとえば、能動伸縮体11の全長やストロークを用いて設定する場合でも上記の各式を満足させるものとなる。その場合は、能動伸縮体11の全長やストロークをD1としてD2を求めればよい。 In the case of the active expansion / contraction body 11, there is a connecting pin shaft 13z at an intermediate portion based on the length direction, and a portion where the connecting pin shaft 13z is located is set as a force point portion 15 for receiving expansion / contraction power. is there. The position of the force point portion 15 of the active expansion / contraction body 11 is such that the distance (dimension) between the connection pin shafts 13x and 13y in the active expansion / contraction body 11 is D1, and the distance between the connection pin shafts 13x and 13z in the active expansion / contraction body 11 ( When the dimension is D2, it is essential to satisfy the inequality [D1> D2]. Desirable D2 satisfies the formula [(4/5) × (D1) ≧ (D2)]. In a more desirable case, the power point portion 15 is set at a position that satisfies the expression [(1/2) × (D1) ≧ (D2)]. Accordingly, the distance (dimension) D2 is any one of [(1/2) × (D1)], [(1/3) × (D1)], [(1/4) × (D1)], and the like. There are often. The position D2 of the force point portion 15 of the active expansion / contraction body 11 satisfies the above-described formulas even when it is set using the entire length or stroke of the active expansion / contraction body 11, for example. In that case, what is necessary is just to obtain | require D2 by making the full length and stroke of the active elastic body 11 into D1.
 一方、能動伸縮体11における両端部の連結ピン軸13x・13yについては、その基端部側の連結ピン軸13xが、能動伸縮体11を定位置に保持するための連結部16となるほか、その先端部側の連結ピン軸13yが、他の機器ないし部材などに連結するための連結部16となるものである。 On the other hand, for the connection pin shafts 13x and 13y at both ends of the active expansion / contraction body 11, the connection pin shaft 13x on the base end side serves as a connection portion 16 for holding the active expansion / contraction body 11 in a fixed position. The connecting pin shaft 13y on the tip end side serves as a connecting portion 16 for connecting to another device or member.
 受動伸縮体21は、図2(A)~図2(D)で明らかなように、複数の細長い伸縮部材22~24がスライド伸縮自在なるように組み合わされたものである。より具体的には、段階的に幅の異なる三つのレール型伸縮部材22~24がスライド伸縮自在なるように組み合わされたものである。このようなスライドレール型の受動伸縮体21は公知ないし周知である。この受動伸縮体21は代表的一例として金属からなるが、そのような金属製の受動伸縮体21も公知ないし周知である。 As is apparent from FIGS. 2A to 2D, the passive stretchable body 21 is a combination of a plurality of elongated stretchable members 22 to 24 that can slide and stretch. More specifically, three rail-type elastic members 22 to 24 having different widths in stages are combined so that they can slide and extend. Such a slide rail type passive elastic body 21 is publicly known or well known. The passive stretchable body 21 is made of metal as a representative example, but such a metal passive stretchable body 21 is also known or well known.
 図2(A)~図2(D)に例示されたスライドレール型受動伸縮体21の場合、各伸縮部材22~24は、この図に示されたような溝形のものであることが多い。具体例をあげて説明すると、伸縮部材22の両側部内面(凹形)と伸縮部材23の両側部外面(凸形)とが外れることのないように相対係合してこの両伸縮部材22・23がスライド伸縮自在となっており、かつ、伸縮部材23の内部上面に形成されたレール係合部に対して断面逆凹形の伸縮部材24が外れることのないように相対係合してこの両伸縮部材23・24がスライド伸縮自在となっている。さらに、両伸縮部材22・23の関係では、一方の部材22の先端部両側に内向きに折れ曲がったストッパ片(図示せず)が形成されたり、他方の部材23の後端部両側に外向きに折れ曲がったストッパ片(図示せず)が形成されたりする。この場合は、両伸縮部材22・23の最大伸長状態において双方のストッパ片が互いに衝突するので、当該両伸縮部材22・23が脱抜するような事態は起こらない。同じく両伸縮部材23・24の関係でも、一方の部材23の先端部上面に上向きに折れ曲がったストッパ片(図示せず)が形成されたり、他方の部材23の後端部下面に下向きに折れ曲がったストッパ片(図示せず)が形成されたりする。かかる場合も、両伸縮部材23・24の最大伸長状態において双方のストッパ片が互いに衝突するので、これら両伸縮部材23・24が脱抜するようなことはない。 In the case of the slide rail type passive elastic body 21 illustrated in FIGS. 2A to 2D, each of the elastic members 22 to 24 is often in a groove shape as shown in this figure. . Explaining with specific examples, the inner surfaces (concave) of both sides of the elastic member 22 and the outer surfaces (convex shape) of both sides of the elastic member 23 are relatively engaged so as not to come off. 23 is slidably extendable and is relatively engaged with the rail engaging portion formed on the inner upper surface of the expanding and contracting member 23 so that the expanding and contracting member 24 having a reverse concave shape is not detached. Both the elastic members 23 and 24 are slidable and extendable. Further, in the relationship between the two elastic members 22, 23, stopper pieces (not shown) bent inwardly are formed on both sides of the front end portion of one member 22, or outward on both sides of the rear end portion of the other member 23. A stopper piece (not shown) that is bent into a circle is formed. In this case, since both the stopper pieces collide with each other in the maximum extension state of both the elastic members 22 and 23, a situation in which the both elastic members 22 and 23 are pulled out does not occur. Similarly, a stopper piece (not shown) that is bent upward is formed on the upper surface of the front end portion of one member 23 or the lower surface of the rear end portion of the other member 23 is bent downward in the relationship between the two elastic members 23 and 24. A stopper piece (not shown) may be formed. Also in this case, since both the stopper pieces collide with each other in the maximum extended state of both the elastic members 23 and 24, the both elastic members 23 and 24 are not pulled out.

It has.
 一方、伸縮動力発生機械31における動力伝達部34は、たとえば、ボールネジ軸からなる送り軸35と、たとえば、ボールネジ軸に対応したナットからなる移動素子36と、筒状の連結素子37とを具備するものである。かかる場合、移動素子(ナット)36は送り軸(ネジ軸)35の外周にねじ込まれてその送り軸35の軸線方向(長さ方向)沿いに往復動自在となっている。一方で連結素子37は、移動素子36の外周に嵌め込まれて当該移動素子36にたとえばビス止めなどで固定されている。この連結素子37の断面形状について、外周部は略四角形で内周部は移動素子36に対応した円形である。 On the other hand, the power transmission unit 34 in the telescopic power generation machine 31 includes, for example, a feed shaft 35 made of a ball screw shaft, a moving element 36 made of a nut corresponding to the ball screw shaft, and a cylindrical connecting element 37, for example. Is. In this case, the moving element (nut) 36 is screwed into the outer periphery of the feed shaft (screw shaft) 35 and can reciprocate along the axial direction (length direction) of the feed shaft 35. On the other hand, the connecting element 37 is fitted on the outer periphery of the moving element 36 and fixed to the moving element 36 with, for example, screws. Regarding the cross-sectional shape of the connecting element 37, the outer peripheral portion is substantially square and the inner peripheral portion is circular corresponding to the moving element 36.
 伸縮動力発生機械31においては、動力源32の出力軸33と動力伝達部34の送り軸35とが周知のカップリング38を介して相互に連結されている。 In the telescopic power generation machine 31, the output shaft 33 of the power source 32 and the feed shaft 35 of the power transmission unit 34 are connected to each other via a known coupling 38.

In the multi-component 51 of such an embodiment, the power source 32 and the power transmission unit 34 may be separated from each other.

 図9に例示された伸縮装置71を運転状態にするときは、伸縮動力発生機械31の動力源32を正回転または逆回転させるべくこれを稼働状態(モータオンの状態)にする。ちなみに、動力源32を正回転させてその出力軸33を同方向へ回転させたときには、出力軸33に連結されている送り軸35が正回転し、この送り軸33に螺合している移動素子36がそれにともなって図9の右方向へ移動する。この際、連結素子37介して移動素子36と連結状態にある能動伸縮体11には、その力点部15(連結ピン軸13z)に図9の右方向の力が加わり、この力によって、パンタグラフ型リンク構造体からなる能動伸縮体11が全体的に伸長状態となり、かつ、この能動伸縮体11と連動する受動伸縮体21も同時に伸長状態となる。一方、動力源32を逆回転させてその出力軸33を同方向へ逆回転させたときは、送り軸35が逆回転するとともに、移動素子36が図9の左方向へ移動するから、能動伸縮体11や受動伸縮体21は同期して共に収縮状態となる。 When the expansion / contraction device 71 illustrated in FIG. 9 is put into an operating state, the power source 32 of the expansion / contraction power generation machine 31 is set in an operating state (motor-on state) in order to rotate forward or backward. By the way, when the power source 32 is rotated forward and its output shaft 33 is rotated in the same direction, the feed shaft 35 connected to the output shaft 33 is rotated forward and is engaged with the feed shaft 33.

The active elastic body 11 made of the link structure is in an extended state as a whole, and the passive elastic body 21 interlocked with the active elastic body 11 is also in an extended state at the same time. On the other hand, when the power source 32 is reversely rotated and its output shaft 33 is reversely rotated in the same direction, the feed shaft 35 is reversely rotated and the moving element 36 is moved leftward in FIG. The body 11 and the passive elastic body 21 are both contracted in synchronization.

In this case, a guide bush for holding the outer peripheral surface of the guide shaft portion 135 is mounted in the guide support portion 156, and the outer peripheral surface of the male screw shaft portion 136 is held in the component mounting portion 157. A bearing for mounting is installed.
 上述の各部品や各部材が車両91の基体93上に装備ないし配備されたとき、基体93上に散在する各プーリ112・121~126には伝動ベルト127が掛け回されることとなり、それによって所要の伝動系が構成される。そして電動機111の正回転や逆回転が、伝動ベルト127・各プーリ112・121~126を介して昇降軸131~134に伝達されるようになる。かかる構成において電動機111が正回転したときには、雌ネジ孔137付きの各従動プーリ121~126が雄ネジ軸部136に対して上昇方向の送りを掛けるので昇降軸131~134が上昇するようになり、かつ、電動機111が逆回転したときには、雌ネジ孔137付きの各従動プーリ121~1 26が雄ネジ軸部136に対して下降方向の送りを掛けるので昇降軸131~134が下降するようになる。 When each of the above-described components and members is mounted or arranged on the base body 93 of the vehicle 91, the transmission belt 127 is wound around the pulleys 112 and 121 to 126 scattered on the base body 93. The required transmission system is configured. The forward and reverse rotations of the electric motor 111 are transmitted to the elevating shafts 131 to 134 via the transmission belt 127 and the pulleys 112 and 121 to 126. In such a configuration, when the motor 111 rotates in the forward direction, the driven pulleys 121 to 126 with the female screw holes 137 feed the male screw shaft 136 in the upward direction, so that the elevating shafts 131 to 134 rise. When the electric motor 111 rotates in the reverse direction, the driven pulleys 121 to 126 with the female screw holes 137 feed the male screw shaft 136 in the downward direction so that the lifting shafts 131 to 134 are lowered.

That is, the lower surface portion (back surface portion) of the base member 41 and the upper end portions of the lifting shafts 131 to 134 are fixed to each other. More specifically, well-known fixing means such as welding fixing, connecting tool fixing, and fixing metal fixing are appropriately adopted to fix the base member 41 and the lifting shafts 131 to 134 to each other. In the case of the base member 41 assembled to the lifting mechanism 101 in this way, it moves up and down as the lifting shafts 131 to 134 move up and down.
 昇降機構101に組み付けられたベース部材41には、既述の各実施形態で示された複コンポーネント51または52のいずれか、あるいは、伸縮ユニット61または62のいずれかが搭載されるという各種の実施形態がある。その一例にすぎない図12~図15の実施形態では、図5(A)に示されたタイプの複コンポーネント51が、以下のようにして上下動自在なベース部材41に搭載されている。 The base member 41 assembled to the elevating mechanism 101 is mounted with either the multiple components 51 or 52 shown in the above-described embodiments or the telescopic unit 61 or 62. There is a form. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 12 to 15 as just one example, the multiple component 51 of the type shown in FIG. 5A is mounted on a base member 41 that can move up and down as follows.
 図12~図15の実施形態においては、伸縮動力発生機械31がベース部材41の下面側に装着(装備)されており、能動伸縮体11や受動伸縮体21がベース部材41の上面側に装備されている。この場合において、ベース部材41の下面には周知の軸受35aが装着されており、送り軸35はこの軸受35aを介して回転自在に両端支持されている。一方で能動伸縮体11の基端部は、連結部16としてベース部材41に連結固定されており、能動伸縮体11の先端部は連結部17として受動伸縮体21の先端側伸縮部材24に連結固定されている。 In the embodiment of FIGS. 12 to 15, the expansion / contraction power generation machine 31 is mounted (equipped) on the lower surface side of the base member 41, and the active expansion / contraction body 11 and the passive expansion / contraction body 21 are mounted on the upper surface side of the base member 41. Has been. In this case, a well-known bearing 35a is mounted on the lower surface of the base member 41, and the feed shaft 35 is rotatably supported at both ends via the bearing 35a. On the other hand, the base end portion of the active elastic body 11 is connected and fixed to the base member 41 as the connecting portion 16, and the distal end portion of the active elastic body 11 is connected to the front-side elastic member 24 of the passive elastic body 21 as the connecting portion 17. It is fixed.
 一方、伸縮動力発生機械31における連結素子37付きの移動素子36は、その連結素子37と能動伸縮体11の力点部15とにわたる連結ピン軸13zを介して連動自在に連結されている。かかる連結を可能とするために、また、能動伸縮体11や受動伸縮体21の伸縮動作に支障をきたさないために、開口状の切欠部47がベース部材41に形成されているとともに、同様の切欠部27が受動伸縮体21の中間伸縮部材23に形成されており、連結ピン軸13zが両切欠部47・27を貫通している。 On the other hand, the moving element 36 with the connecting element 37 in the expansion / contraction power generation machine 31 is connected in a freely interlocking manner via a connecting pin shaft 13z that extends between the connecting element 37 and the power point portion 15 of the active expansion / contraction body 11. In order to enable such connection, and in order not to interfere with the expansion / contraction operation of the active expansion / contraction body 11 and the passive expansion / contraction body 21, an opening-shaped notch 47 is formed in the base member 41, and the same A notch 27 is formed in the intermediate elastic member 23 of the passive elastic body 21, and the connecting pin shaft 13 z penetrates both the notches 47 and 27.
 図12~図15の実施形態における能動伸縮体11と受動伸縮体21とは、これまでの実施形態と同様、上下に重なる態様を呈しながら伸縮するものである。このうちの受動伸縮体21は、中間の伸縮部材23や先端側の伸縮部材24を備えたものであるが、前例で基端側にあった伸縮部材22については、これがベース部材41上に設けられたレール部材28に変更されている。そして、伸縮部材23の下面に取り付けられた走行案内用の回転輪23aたとえばリニアガイドがレール部材28と係合していて、当該伸縮部材23がレール部材28の長さ方向に往復動するようになっている。さらに、伸縮部材23上にもレール部材29が設けられており、かつ、これと対応する走行案内用の回転輪(例:リニアガイド)24aが伸縮部材24の下面に取り付けられている。この回転輪24aがレール部材29と係合している当該伸縮部材24も、レール部材29の長さ方向に往復動するようになっている。 12 to 15, the active stretchable body 11 and the passive stretchable body 21 are stretched while exhibiting a form of overlapping vertically as in the previous embodiments. Among these, the passive elastic body 21 includes an intermediate elastic member 23 and a distal-side elastic member 24, but the elastic member 22 that is on the proximal side in the previous example is provided on the base member 41. The rail member 28 is changed. A travel guide rotating wheel 23 a attached to the lower surface of the telescopic member 23, for example, a linear guide is engaged with the rail member 28, so that the telescopic member 23 reciprocates in the length direction of the rail member 28.

 図12~図15の実施形態において、説明を省略した技術的事項は、図1~図15に例示された各実施形態と実質的に同一であるか、または、それらの実施形態に準ずるものである。したがって、図12~図15の実施形態におけるその他の技術的事項については、図1~図15の各実施形態における記載内容を参照することで省略する。 In the embodiments of FIGS. 12 to 15, the technical matters that are not described are substantially the same as or equivalent to the embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 15. is there. Accordingly, other technical matters in the embodiments of FIGS. 12 to 15 are omitted by referring to the description in the embodiments of FIGS.
 図12~図15の実施形態において電動機111が正回転したとき、雌ネジ孔137付きの各従動プーリ121~126が雄ネジ軸部136に対して上昇方向の送りを掛けるので、昇降軸131~134が上昇するようになる。また、電動機111が逆回転したときには、雌ネジ孔137付きの各従動プーリ121~126が雄ネジ軸部136に対して下降方向の送りを掛けるので昇降軸131~134が下降するようになる。ゆえに、各昇降軸131~134で支持されたベース部材41は、この各昇降軸131~134の上下動にともなって上下動するようになる。図12~図15の実施形態においては、また、自走式車両91が出発地(出発場所)から目的地(目的場所)に向けて自在に走行するものである。この場合におけるベース部材41の上下動や両伸縮体11・21の伸縮動作など、これらの手順は、実際の作業内容に応じて設定される。ちなみに、両伸縮体11・21の伸縮動作は、車両91の停止状態で行うのが望ましく、また、車両91の走行時には、両伸縮体11・21を収縮状態にしておくことが望ましい。 12 to 15, when the motor 111 rotates in the forward direction, the driven pulleys 121 to 126 with the female screw holes 137 feed the male screw shaft portion 136 in the upward direction. 134 rises. When the electric motor 111 rotates in the reverse direction, the driven pulleys 121 to 126 with the female screw holes 137 feed the male screw shaft 136 in the downward direction, so that the lifting shafts 131 to 134 are lowered. Therefore, the base member 41 supported by the lift shafts 131 to 134 moves up and down as the lift shafts 131 to 134 move up and down. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 12 to 15, the self-propelled vehicle 91 freely travels from the departure place (departure place) to the destination (destination place). In this case, these procedures such as the vertical movement of the base member 41 and the expansion / contraction operation of the both expansion bodies 11 and 21 are set according to the actual work content. Incidentally, it is desirable that the telescopic operations of both the telescopic bodies 11 and 21 be performed while the vehicle 91 is stopped, and it is desirable that both the telescopic bodies 11 and 21 be contracted when the vehicle 91 is traveling.

It can be received and delivered, and can be moved to the receiving location or delivery location of the moving object 83 depending on the traveling property of the vehicle 91. Therefore, in the case of this traveling type expansion-contraction apparatus, it can become an automatic guided vehicle (AGV) with a robot hand. Of course, this can be said to be extremely useful and useful as a conveying means in a production line, a logistics department, or the like.

Moreover, in order to prevent a collision, a safety device using a sensor such as a proximity sensor or an ultrasonic distance meter may be provided. Examples of the guidance method of the vehicle 91 that can be adopted in the present invention include the following <51> to <55>.
<51> Electromagnetic induction type: A weak alternating current is passed through a metal wire installed on the floor, and the generated magnetic field is detected by a pick-up coil and moved so as not to leave the course.
<52> Optically guided: Moves along a line drawn on the floor.
<53> Magnetic induction type: A magnetic wire or tape is attached to the floor and read by a magnetic sensor.
