A light receiving device 52 is provided. Therefore,
When the core R is located on the support piece 5, the core R
The search light of the light receiving device 52 of the photoelectric sensor is blocked by the
Thereby, the presence of the core R can be detected.

In the same manner as described above, a light emitting device 55 of a photoelectric sensor is fixed above the ceiling plate 43, and the light receiving device 54 of the photoelectric sensor capable of receiving the search light of the light emitting device 55 of the photoelectric sensor is connected to the rail. It is fixed to the frame 2. Therefore,
The presence of the core R on the rail frame 2 can be detected, whereby it can be detected in advance that the core R stored on the rail frame 2 will be in an empty state soon, and this is detected by a buzzer. Also, a warning light can notify the surrounding workers.

Although not shown, the cylinder 2
A control panel provided with a control device for controlling 4, 26, 31, 37, 46 and the like is provided at a predetermined position.

The core transfer device 1 is used together with an unmanned carrier 60 capable of supplying the core R. Automatic guided vehicle 60
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, is a spin-turn type bogie having drive wheels 61 that can be independently driven on the left and right sides, and has caster wheels 62 at the front and rear of the vehicle body.

[0027] Also in the vehicle body upper surface is provided so as to be moved up and down by using a substantially elevating part 6 4 which is fixed to置片6 3 mounting forms a "V" shape on the upper surface, for example, a suitable link mechanism. further,
A mounting table 76 on which the wound material having been wound up can be mounted is provided on a substantially central upper surface of the vehicle body via a pantograph mechanism 77 so as to be able to move up and down.

The automatic guided vehicle 60 is capable of automatic steering control along a guide line laid on a road surface, and the guide line is laid to a predetermined position of the core transfer device 1.

However, as shown in FIG.
No. 0 stops the vehicle by moving the lifting / lowering portion 63 below the guide piece 7 of the core transfer device 1. The stop is detected by a proximity sensor (not shown) or the like disposed on the road surface, and the core transfer device 1 is operated. The elevating unit 63 is previously raised.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, the cylinder 37 causes the second stopper 4 to protrude upward from the rail frame 2. In addition, the first stopper 3 is configured such that the cylinder 31 is contracted and raised upward, and the core R1 is connected to the claw piece 4 of the second stopper 4.
