发明名称 Article Transport Facility and Maintenance Operation Method of Article Transport Facility
摘要 A supporting portion of an article transport device supports a position detection device for detecting the position of a detection target object. A control device executes an update control to update target position information in accordance with an update instruction issued through a manual operation performed by an operator during a maintenance operation performed at an interval longer than a set period, and executes the update control on condition that an elapsed time since issuance of the update instruction has reached an automatic updating time that is a time shorter than the set period.

主权项 1. An article transport facility comprising: an article transport device that transports an article to a transport target location; and a control device that controls operation of the article transport device, the article transport device including: a traveling portion that travels along a traveling path;a supporting portion that is supported by the traveling portion and suspends and supports the article;an elevation driving portion that raises and lowers the supporting portion relative to the traveling portion in a state in which the traveling portion is stopped; anda storage portion that stores position information for stopping the traveling portion, wherein the article transport facility further comprises a position detection device for detecting a position of a detection target object provided in a position updating location, the supporting portion is configured to be capable of supporting the position detection device, the storage portion stores, as the position information, transporting target position information representing a transporting target position that is a target position at which the traveling portion is stopped when the article transport device transfers the article to the transport target location, and updating target position information representing an updating target position that is a target position at which the traveling portion is stopped when the article transport device detects the detection target object with the position detection device, the control device is configured to execute a transport control and an update control, the transport control is a control in which, when a transport instruction to instruct transfer of the article to the transport target location is issued, the traveling portion is stopped at the transporting target position based on the transporting target position information, and while the traveling portion is stopped, the supporting portion is raised or lowered to transfer the article to the transport target location, the update control is a control in which a position of the detection target object is detected by the position detection device in a state in which the traveling portion is stopped at the updating target position based on the updating target position information, and the updating target position information and the transporting target position information that are stored in the storage portion are updated based on detection information from the position detection device, and the control device is configured to execute the update control in accordance with an update instruction issued through a manual operation performed by an operator during a maintenance operation performed at an interval longer than a set period that is a preset period, and to execute the update control on condition that an elapsed time since issuance of the update instruction has reached an automatic updating time that is a time shorter than the set period.
