Specific embodiment
The conveying carrier 20 of an example as embodiment of the present invention is shown in Fig. 1 and has the conveying carrier 20 The overview of article carrying apparatus 10.As shown in Figure 1, there are more conveying carriers 20, along for these in article carrying apparatus 10 Conveying carrier 20 travel transport path and be equipped with conveying 12.Conveying 12 relative to conveying carrier 20 traveling side 1 is respectively equipped with, and be configured to separate the interval with the overall width same degree of conveying carrier 20 to and left side and right side.It is defeated The wheel 21 of trolley 20 is sent to be supported in the upper surface of the conveying 12 and rotated, so that conveying carrier 20 is along conveying Path and travel.Conveying carrier 20 can keep article 11, the edge in the state of article 11 is maintained of conveying carrier 20 Conveying 12 and travel, thus article 11 is conveyed in the article carrying apparatus 10.Conveying carrier 20 has, use Though it is not shown herein in the mechanism kept to article 11, for example, can be set in the upper surface of conveying carrier 20 The flat surface that can be loaded for article 11 or the arm that will be held to article 11 are set under conveying carrier 20 Side.
The transport path of conveying carrier 20 has linear section and curvilinear section.Embodiment party shown in Fig. 1 In formula, other than 2 line intervals 16 of configured in parallel, by the end of a line interval 16 and another line interval 16 The arc-shaped curve section 18 that connects of end be provided with 2.Made by these line intervals 16 and curve section 18 It obtains transport path and is integrally formed as the rectangular shape of fillet.
In addition, nearby it is connected with arc-shaped branching point 19 (shortcut section) in the center of line interval 16.Due to defeated Send trolley 20 that can pass through from branching point 19, so, it, also can be from the linearity sector of side even if not passing through from curve section 18 Between 16 moved to the line interval 16 of opposite side.Conveying carrier 20 is moved according to the where wanted into article carrying apparatus 10 Demand, and select from branching point 19 by still passing through from curve section 18, so as to reach purpose with shortest path Ground.In branching point 19, the conveying 12 with the inner circumferential side of line interval 16IN2 arc-shaped conveyings of connection 12BRIt is configured to separate the interval with the vehicle-width same degree of conveying carrier 20.Therefore, for line interval 16, inner circumferential The conveying 12 of sideINIt is correspondingly interrupted with the width of branching point 19.Thus, in conveying carrier 20 from the one of line interval 16 In the case of the traveling to the other end of end, although conveying carrier 20 can be continually by the conveying 12 with peripheral sideOUTIt is close Position, still, at the position being connect with branching point 19 then relative to the conveying of inner circumferential side 12INAnd it is temporarily separated.
Along the conveying 12 of the peripheral side of line interval 16OUT, it is equipped with the supply lines 14 to circulate for alternating current. As the laying method of supply lines 14, for example, in the presence of electric lead is made to be embedded in the medium method of slot set by conveying 12. The AC power 15 of supply high-voltage ac current is connect with supply lines 14.Conveying carrier 20 can be in a non-contact manner from the confession Electric wire 14 receives electric power.On the other hand, in the conveying 12 in curve section 18CURWith the conveying 12 of branching point 19BRAnd It is not provided with supply lines 14.In addition, even if in line interval 16, the conveying 12 in inner circumferential sideINAlso it is not provided with supply lines 14. In the following, in transport path, sometimes by the section (here, for line interval 16) for being provided with supply lines 14 be referred to as power supply section, And the section for being not provided with supply lines 14 (here, for curve section 18 and branching point 19) is referred to as the section that do not power.
The structure diagram of conveying carrier 20 is shown in Fig. 2.
As shown in Fig. 2, conveying carrier 20 has:Power receiving device 24 receives electricity from supply lines 14 in a non-contact manner Power;Driving device 22 is driven using the electric power supplied from above-mentioned power receiving device 24 and rotates wheel 21, thus made defeated Trolley 20 is sent to travel;And electrical storage device 26, the electric power supplied from power receiving device 24 is accumulated.Moreover, conveying carrier 20 are also equipped with voltage changer 30, which connect with power receiving device 24, driving device 22, electrical storage device 26. This, driving device 22 and voltage changer 30 are connected in parallel relative to power receiving device 24, and voltage changer 30 is configured at by Denso It puts between 24 and electrical storage device 26.
Driving device 22 is the device for rotating the wheel 21 of conveying carrier 20 using electric power, for example, being configured to Rotation Controllers including motor and the motor.Conveying carrier 20 shown in FIG. 1 has 4 wheels 21, although in order to make this A little wheels rotations and be provided with multiple (for example, front-wheel uses 2 with trailing wheel) motors and Rotation Controllers, still, herein Such multiple motors and Rotation Controllers are collectively expressed as 1 driving device 22.Driving device 22 be applied in voltage and into Row driving, so that wheel 21 rotates, still, in order to travel conveying carrier 20, needs more than constant degree stronger Therefore electric power, in order to be driven driving device 22, needs to apply prespecified driving voltage VDMore than (such as 320V) Voltage.
Power receiving device 24 includes coupling coil (pick up coil) and rectifier.The power receiving device 24 is configured:Conveying The lower surface of trolley 20 etc., near supply lines 14 by position.Since alternating current flows in supply lines 14, Therefore, nearby the direction of generated magnetic flux and intensity change supply lines 14 always.Coupling coil is corresponding to the variation of the magnetic flux Ground generates electromotive force by electromagnetic induction.The electromotive force is alternating voltage, and DC voltage is converted thereof into simultaneously using rectifier It is applied to driving device 22.In this way, power receiving device 24 even if it is not direct contacted with supply lines 14 can receive from supply lines 14 Electric power.If power receiving device 24 receives enough electric power from supply lines 14, power receiving device 24 can be by driving voltage VDMore than Voltage be applied to driving device 22 and so that conveying carrier 20 is travelled.For conveying carrier 20, power receiving device 24 It is the main power source device supplied electric power to driving device 22.
Voltage changer 30 is bi-directional DC-DC converter, in addition to being able to carry out as the electricity for making to be applied to input terminal Pressure increases and except the action for the so-called booster that leading-out terminal exports, additionally it is possible to perform as the voltage drop for making input terminal The action of so-called reducing transformer that is low and being exported to leading-out terminal.In addition, voltage changer 30 also is able to leading-out terminal and input The effect of terminal switches over.In power receiving device 24 by driving voltage VDDuring above voltage is applied to driving device 22, Voltage changer 30 is also applied in driving voltage VDAbove receiving voltage VR.In this case, voltage changer 30 is as decompression Device and perform action, make its receiving voltage VRIt is reduced to lower voltage (such as 100V), and by the electricity from power receiving device 24 Power is supplied to electrical storage device 26.On the other hand, in the receiving voltage V applied by power receiving device 24RLess than driving voltage VDSituation Under, voltage changer 30 performs action as booster, makes the accumulation voltage V exported from electrical storage device 26B(such as 100V) It is increased to driving voltage VDAnd it is applied to driving device 22.In addition, voltage changer 30 has and electrical storage device 26 and electricity The shutter 38 connected between buckling parallel operation 30, according to electrical storage device 26, power receiving device 24 state and shutter 38 is opened Or close, so as to disconnect or maintain the electrical connection by the electrical connection between electrical storage device 26 and voltage changer 30.
Electrical storage device 26 is capacitor (capacitor) or accumulator, can receive electric power (electric energy) from outside simultaneously The electric power is accumulated (charging).Moreover, electrical storage device 26 also is able to supply the electric power of accumulation to other electronic equipments. For voltage changer 30 as reducing transformer and during execution acts, electrical storage device 26 carries out the electric power supplied from power receiving device 24 Accumulation.During voltage changer 30 is acted as booster and execution, electrical storage device 26 via voltage changer 30 and to Driving device 22 supplies electric power.
Using flow chart shown in Fig. 3, how account for voltage converter 30 is acted.First, exist in conveying carrier 20 It powers during section (line interval 16) traveling, voltage changer 30 performs action as reducing transformer, makes to come from by Denso Put 24 receiving voltage VRIt reduces and is supplied electric power (step S01) to electrical storage device 26.
Voltage changer 30 is to the receiving voltage V of power receiving device 24RWith the accumulation voltage V of electrical storage device 26BIt is monitored. As reducing transformer and during execution acts, judge receiving voltage V in voltage changer 30RWhether not less than driving device 22 Driving voltage VD(step S02).If receiving voltage VRNot less than driving voltage VD(step S02:NO), then voltage changer 30 Continue to perform action (returning to step S01) as reducing transformer.
When conveying carrier 20, which enters, does not power section (curve section 18 or branching point 19), due to power receiving device 24 The electric power supplied from supply lines 14, therefore, receiving voltage V are not receivedRIt reduces and ultimately becomes zero.If voltage changer 30 Detect receiving voltage VRLess than driving voltage VD(step S02:YES), then voltage changer 30 performed as booster it is dynamic Make, make the accumulation voltage V of electrical storage device 26BIt is increased to driving voltage VD, while by the electric power accumulated in electrical storage device 26 to driving Device 22 supplies (step S03).As a result, even at the section that do not power, conveying carrier 20 can also receive from electrical storage device 26 The electric power of supply and continue to travel.Here, the accumulation voltage V of electrical storage device 26BAnd it is non-constant, but according in electrical storage device 26 The electricity of accumulation and change.Therefore, in order to reliably by driving voltage VDAbove voltage is applied to driving device 22, and voltage becomes Parallel operation 30 can be according to accumulation voltage VBValue and provide boosting multiplying power.Specifically, as long as voltage changer 30 calculates Driving voltage VDWith accumulation voltage VBRatio N=VD/VB, and make accumulation voltage VBIt is increased to N times and driving device 22 is supplied The electric power.
In voltage changer 30 as booster and during execution acts, also to the receiving voltage from power receiving device 24 VRIt is monitored, confirms receiving voltage VRWhether driving voltage V is kept belowDState it is constant (step S04).If by electric Press VRNot less than driving voltage VD(step S04:NO), then conveying carrier 20 passes through and does not power section and reach power supply section, so as to Power receiving device 24, which is started again at from supply lines 14, receives electric power, and therefore, voltage changer 30 performs dynamic as reducing transformer again Make and (returned to step S01).
If receiving voltage VRKeep below driving voltage VDConstant (the step S04 of state:YES), then voltage changer 30 Confirm in electrical storage device 26 and whether remain enough electric power.Specifically, voltage changer 30 from electrical storage device 26 to exporting Accumulation voltage VBIt measures, and judges to accumulate voltage VBWhether defined lower voltage limit V is less thanL(such as 80V) (step S05).If the accumulation voltage V exported from electrical storage device 26BNot less than lower voltage limit VL(step S05:NO), then it is determined as electric power storage Enough electric power is remained in device 26, therefore, voltage changer 30 continues to perform action (to step S03 as booster It returns).
In the accumulation voltage V exported from electrical storage device 26BLess than defined lower voltage limit VLIn the case of (step S05: YES), due to not remaining enough electric power in electrical storage device 26, voltage changer 30 opens shutter 38, by Electrical connection between voltage changer 30 and electrical storage device 26 is disconnected (step S06) by this.Then, henceforth, due to electric power storage The electric power accumulated in device 26 is not supplied via voltage changer 30 to driving device 22, so, it is stored in electrical storage device 26 Long-pending electric power will not be further reduced.Here, lower voltage limit V as defined in so-calledLRefer to prespecified value, which is and conveying Trolley 20 is never powered the value for starting running in section and reaching and is more than the comparable voltage of electricity needed for power supply section.
In the following, under which kind of situation by between voltage changer 30 and electrical storage device 26 electrical connection disconnect situation into Row explanation.In article carrying apparatus 10 such, that there is more conveying carriers 20 shown in Fig. 1, under normal circumstances, using not The management system of diagram controls the traveling of each conveying carrier 20.Management system carries out the entirety of article carrying apparatus 10 Monitoring, in order to safely and efficiently article 11 be conveyed and controlled the traveling of each conveying carrier 20.For example, management system control The travel speed of each conveying carrier 20 is made, section (the curve section so that conveying carrier 20 is never powered in Time constant 18 or branching point 19) pass through or so that enter the same section that do not power when the conveying carrier 20 of two or more is different.Separately Outside, in the case where being judged as that conveying carrier 20 can not drive safely, management system stops the traveling of conveying carrier 20.Example Such as, when finding barrier on conveying 12, management system stops the traveling of the conveying carrier 20 near the barrier.
Here, when conveying carrier 20 stops in the section that do not power (curve section 18 or branching point 19), due to Conveying carrier 20 is in the position detached with supply lines 14, so, the receiving voltage V of power receiving device 24 shown in Fig. 2RBecome Zero.Therefore, voltage changer 30 performs action as booster, by the electric power accumulated in electrical storage device 26 to driving device 22 Supply.Even if being supplied electric power to driving device 22, but if factor management system is by the power between driving device 22 and wheel 11 It transmits disconnection etc. and conveying carrier 20 can not be travelled, although conveying carrier 20 keeps the state stopped constant, electric power storage dress The electric power accumulated in 26 is put also to be consumed (electric discharge).If barrier is removed and conveying carrier 20 is safely gone Sail, then managing system makes conveying carrier 20 start again at traveling, still, if in a period of so far electrical storage device 26 electricity Power is persistently consumed, then does not remain the electric power that can travel conveying carrier 20 in electrical storage device 26 sometimes, thus can not profit Travel conveying carrier 20 with electric power.In this case, operator must make conveying carrier 20 be moved to confession by manpower Electric section needs to expend the time until traveling is started again at.Therefore, when conveying carrier 20 stops in the section that do not power When, preferably remained in electrical storage device 26 make conveying carrier 20 do not power from this section be detached from needed for electric power.Therefore, when It is remained in electrical storage device 26 and enables 20 automatic running of conveying carrier and the electric power for section disengaging of never powering, voltage transformation Device 30 disconnects the electrical connection between voltage changer 30 and electrical storage device 26.
As previously mentioned, the accumulation voltage V of electrical storage device 26BIt is changed according to the electricity accumulated in electrical storage device 26.Electric power storage Electricity, the accumulation voltage V with being exported from electrical storage device 26 accumulated in device 26BValue be in:According to the electricity of electrical storage device 26 Characteristic and determining fixed correspondence, therefore, if in accumulation voltage VBLess than lower voltage limit VLAt the time of by voltage transformation Electrical connection between device 30 and electrical storage device 26 disconnects, then accumulation in electrical storage device 26 is kept to have and its lower voltage limit VLIt is corresponding Electric power state it is constant.The electric energy never powered needed for the disengaging of section to make 20 automatic running of conveying carrier, quantitatively By " the consumption electric power per unit time during automatic running " × " the spent time until disengaging finishes " that is, electricity (WS, watt-second) represents.The user of article carrying apparatus 10 can the quality based on conveying carrier 20 and article 11, do not supply The length in electric section and make situation that conveying carrier 20 travels with what speed etc. and required electricity is calculated in advance. It starts running in section alternatively, user can essentially make conveying carrier 20 never power and reaches power supply section and at this time Consume that how many electricity are measured.
