Benefits of technology

[0020]The present invention provides an advantage of implementing a running mode through a friction drive system based on the existing electric monorail system only with simple configuration.
[0021]That is, according to the present invention, upon the breakage of the driving trolley, the hanger can be run along the monorail by the friction drive unit, and upon the breakage of the friction drive unit, the hanger can be run along the monorail by the driving trolley, thereby facilitating a continuous, stable assembly process without interruption of an assembly line.

Problems solved by technology

If failed parts are not stably supplied, an operation rate of an assembly line is considerably reduced and productivity of a product such as automobiles may be decrease.
Further, replacement of an aging overhead conveyor with a new one is costly and takes much time.

Abstract

An overhead conveyor includes a monorail, a driving trolley having a drive wheel rolling along the monorail and a motor driving the drive wheel, a driven trolley disposed to be spaced apart from the driving trolley on the monorail and having a driven wheel rolling along the monorail, a hanger operatively suspended from the monorail, a first friction plate disposed on the hanger, a plurality of first jigs extending towards the first friction plate along the monorail, and a friction drive unit having a friction drive wheel disposed on the first jig so as to convey the first friction plate in a running direction and a drive motor driving the friction drive wheel.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to KR patent application No. 10-2016-0041173, filed Apr. 4, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference thereto.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to an overhead conveyor and, more particularly, to an overhead conveyor in which a hanger for carrying an object runs along a monorail in two running modes.Description of the Related Art[0003]Generally, an overhead conveyor is a mechanical apparatus that can move an object carried on a hanger using a conveyor.[0004]U.S. Pat. No. 5,398,617 proposes an overhead conveyor capable of running a carriage along a rail using a drive wheel driven by an electric motor.[0005]As well known to a skilled person in the art, in a conventional overhead conveyor, if an electric motor for driving a drive wheel, a carriage running along a rail, or the like breaks, a series of working processes to be performed along an a...
