Automatic handing system

Abstract

Provided is an automatic handing system which can improve braking distance control and can improve rotation performance of a towed vehicle. The automatic handing system is provided with a self-propelled vehicle 2 propelled by the self-propelled vehicle along a guide road 3, a towed vehicle 14 onto which goods is loaded and which is towed by the self-propelled vehicle 2, and a connecting part 15 connected to the towed vehicle 14 and the self-propelled vehicle 2. The connecting part 15 comprises a connecting rigid body 16 connected with the self-propelled vehicle 2, a connecting rigid body 17 capable of being connected to the towed vehicle 14 in a clamping manner, and movable connecting rigid body 18 which is between the two connecting rigid bodies 16, 17 and has a relative displacement in the horizontal direction relative to the two connecting rigid bodies 16, 17.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic conveying system for conveying articles along a guide road. Background technique [0002] There is an automatic transport system that can transport articles from one place to another along a guide path (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). The automatic transport system includes a self-propelled vehicle running along a guide road and a towed vehicle connected to and towed by the self-propelled vehicle. [0003] The self-propelled vehicle and the towed vehicle are connected by a rigid connecting member. However, according to the automatic transport system described in this patent document 1, when the self-propelled vehicle stops, the towed vehicle does not stop due to the inertia theorem, thus, even when the self-propelled vehicle brakes to stop, due to the Inertia, the self-propelled vehicle is pushed along its direction of travel, resulting in longer braking distances. [0004] Since the braking distance v...

Problems solved by technology

However, according to the automatic transport system described in this patent document 1, when the self-propelled vehicle stops, the towed vehicle does not stop due to the inertia theorem, thus, even when the self-propelled vehicle brakes to stop, due to the Inertia, the self-propelled vehicle is pushed along its direction of travel, causing the braking distance to be lengthened

[0004] The braking distance varies according to the quality of the goods loaded on the towed vehicle, so it is not easy to control the braking distance

In addition, in the existing automatic handling system, there is still the problem that it is difficult to make the towed vehicle turn flexibly
