[0019] A first embodiment of the article conveyance facility will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0020] Such as figure 1 As shown, the article transport equipment 1 includes an article transport vehicle 2 and a control device H. The article transport vehicle 2 moves along a moving route R between a plurality of transport target places 6 to transport articles W. The control device H controls the article transport vehicle. 2 control unit H (see also Figure 5 ). In addition, this article transport facility 1 can change the posture of the article W while transporting the article W from the source transport site 6 among the plurality of transport target sites 6 to another transport target site 6 as the transport destination. .

[0021] 1-1. Mechanical configuration of article handling equipment

[0022] The article W is an object to be conveyed by the article handling vehicle 2 . Here, the article W is formed to be non-circular in plan view. The article W is,...

[0058] Next, the article conveyance facility 1 of the second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, only the flow of posture change control is different from the first embodiment. In the following description, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described. Points not particularly described are the same as those of the first embodiment.

[0059] Such as Figure 8 As shown, the lower control device Hd controls the posture change so that the article W is located outside the storage portion 22a and does not interfere with the cover portion 22b, and is executed during the movement of the article W by the transfer mechanism 3 . In the second embodiment, the lower control device Hd is located outside the storage portion 22a in a range where the article W does not interfere with the inner surface 22f of the cover portion 22b, and during the movement of the article W in the lateral direction Y by the slide mechanism 3S, Executes a pose change contro...

Abstract

The invention provides an article transport facility which is provided with a gesture changing mechanism for changing the gesture of an article on an article transport vehicle and can supporess size increase of the article transport vehicle. The article transport facility is provided with the components of the article transport vehicle which transports the article along a moving path and controlsthe article transport vehicle. The article transport vehicle is provided with the components of an accommodating part for accommodating the article, a cover which covers the accommodating part, a moving mechanism which moves the articles of a transporting field and an article transport workshop, and a gesture changing mechanism which changes the gesture of the object in transporting. The gesture changing mechanism can change the gesture of the article to a first gesture and a second gesture. The cover is arranged at a position with interference to the article in a middle gesture. A control device performs controlling for accommodating the article in the accommodating part by means of the moving mechanism, namely gesture changing controlling in the transport path on the condition that the article moves to outside relative to the accommodating part after the article is changed from the first gesture to the second gesture.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an article conveyance facility that includes an article conveyance vehicle that moves along a movement path between a plurality of conveyance target locations to convey articles. Background technique [0002] For example, in the equipment disclosed in Patent Document 1 below, it is set such that the moving path of the article transport vehicle passes through a plurality of transport target locations. Then, in the conveyance target place which is the conveyance destination among the plurality of conveyance target places, the posture of the article is changed so as to assume an appropriate posture for transferring the article. In this way, the reason why the posture of the article is changed at the transportation source and the transportation destination is, for example, because the article is a container having an opening for the contents on only one side thereof, and there is no need to handle the contents at the transp...
