  • the rolling direction of the wheels 222 and the transport direction of the pallet 202 may differ.
  • the friction between the wheel 222 and the transport surface 3a creates a resistance force against the movement of the pallet 202. Therefore, since the pallet 202 has the above-mentioned wheel 222, when the pallet 202 comes into contact with the stopper 5, when it receives a force that rebounds in the direction opposite to the transport direction, the force can be damped. Therefore, when the pallet 202 is stopped at a predetermined position on the transport surface 3a by the stopper 5, the statically indeterminating time of the pallet 202 can be shortened.

  • the pallet 202 further has a wheel locking mechanism that locks or unlocks the rotation of the wheels 222.
  • the wheel lock mechanism unlocks the rotation of the wheel 222 when the contact portion is in contact with the stopper 5, and locks the rotation of the wheel 222 when the contact portion is not in contact with the stopper 5. Since the wheel lock mechanism has the same configuration as the wheel lock mechanism 23 of the first embodiment, detailed description of the wheel lock mechanism will be omitted.

Abstract

Est fourni un système de transport de palettes dans lequel il est possible de raccourcir le temps de stabilisation d'une palette lorsque la palette est arrêtée par un dispositif d'arrêt. Ce système de transport de palettes (1) présente une palette (2) présentant un corps de palette (21) dans lequel un matériau (M) qui est convoyé peut être placé, un convoyeur (3) présentant une surface de transport (3a) destinée à transporter la palette (2), une paire de parties de guidage (4) qui s'étendent dans la direction de transport le long de la surface de transport (3a) du convoyeur (3) et qui guident la palette (2) qui est transportée sur la surface de transport (3a) du convoyeur, et un dispositif d'arrêt (5) qui arrête la palette (2) au niveau d'une position prescrite sur la surface de transport (3a). La palette (2) présente une section d'extrémité avant (27a) d'un arbre de support (27) qui vient en contact avec le dispositif d'arrêt (5), et une partie d'amortissement qui produit une force d'amortissement dans la direction de transport par rapport à la palette (2) après l'entrée en contact de la section de contact avec le dispositif d'arrêt (5). Dans le présent mode de réalisation, la partie d'amortissement est une section arrière (21a) du corps de palette (21).
