Automatic handling system

Abstract

Provided is an automatic transfer system capable of improving braking distance control and improving the rotational performance of a towed vehicle. The automatic conveying system of the present invention has self-propelled vehicles (2) along the guide road (3), a towed vehicle (14) loaded with goods and towed by the self-propelled vehicle (2), and a connected towed vehicle (14) ) and the connecting part (15) of the self-propelled vehicle (2), the connecting part (15) includes a connecting rigid body (16) connected with the self-propelled vehicle (2), and is connected with the towed vehicle (14) in an engaging manner The connection rigid body (17) and the movable connection rigid body (18) between the two connection rigid bodies (16, 17) and relative displacement in the horizontal direction relative to the two connection 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
