Parking system for trolley with receipt box

Abstract

A parking system for a trolley equipped with a receipt box. Even when the trolley is parked at a parking point that is set in the robot's work area and has an area sensor, it is detected by the area sensor without causing the robot to stop. Take out the documents from the document box of the trolley. The trolley (20) has a rod (30) extending along the direction of travel. The rod (30) allows the slider (31) at the front end to move along the track (25) relative to the main body of the trolley (21), and has a document box (34) at the rear end. In the moving range of the rod (30), the position where the document box (34) is at the front end is set as the storage position of the rod (30), and is set at the parking point (5) before the main body of the trolley (21) reaches the predetermined position. The push rod (40) with the slider (31) of 30) is pressed backward from the storage position relative to the trolley body (21), and the document box (34) sandwiched the area sensor (10) ) detection area and stop outside the parking point (5).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a parking system for a trolley with a receipt box at a parking spot set in a working area of ​​a manipulator handling articles, for example, in a manufacturing plant and a distribution center. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, JP-A-2004-353847 has been proposed as a robot handling system for handling articles with a robot, for example. [0003] In this manipulator handling system, in the manufacturing plant, a manipulator is arranged between the end of the conveyor that transfers the container and the parking point of the trolley that transports the box, and the manipulator picks up the box on the trolley at the parking spot and transfers it from the conveyor The containers are packed in a box, and the box is placed on the trolley at the parking spot again. [0004] Here, since the parking point of the trolley becomes the work area of ​​the robot arm, it is necessary to prevent the operator or objects from ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, in the case of taking out a document from the cart that has been carried into the parking lot and parked, emergency safety measures such as stopping the operation of the area sensor and stopping the robot are required, and the workability is reduced.

In addition, even if you put your hand into the receipt box while the area sensor is operating, intrusion into the parking lot is detected, and emergency safety measures are taken anyway, reducing workability
