Transport rail

Abstract

This article is a rail that guides the movement of a moving object that transports goods, for example, in a restaurant or logistics warehouse. As shown in the reference perspective view showing the names of each part, this article has a pair of first rails, a pair of second rails, and a pair of lift rails that are arranged from bottom to top when viewed from the front. A moving object with wheels can move longitudinally on the pair of first rails and the pair of second rails. As shown in each reference usage diagram, the pair of lift rails are used to support the moving object as it moves up and down between the pair of first rails and the pair of second rails. For example, when the moving object moves up from the first rails to the second rails, the moving object moves from a state where it is on the first rails (reference usage diagram 1), to a state where the platform is raised and rotated to engage with the lift rails, and the main body is supported by the lift rails (reference usage diagram 2). Then, by rotating the main body, the wheels are released from the first rail, allowing it to pass between the second rails (see reference diagram 3 for usage), and then the main body is pulled up towards the platform, allowing it to pass between the second rails (see reference diagram 4 for usage). Furthermore, by rotating the main body again, it is positioned on the second rail, and by rotating the platform, support from the lifting rail is released, and the movable body is placed on the second rail (see reference diagram 5 for usage). In this way, this article is provided with a lifting rail that supports the movable body, allowing the movable body to automatically rise and fall between the first and second rails.
