ARTICLE LOADING PAYING-OUT DEVICE IN ARTICLE CARRIER DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily make the structure of a carrier truck light by driving a belt for moving articles to be secondary side conductors of linear motors provided on a carrier base by the primary side coil of a linear motor arranged at a loading/paying-out position of articles and loading/paying-out articles. SOLUTION: A carrier truck group is formed by disposing and connecting a plurality of carrier trucks constituted of upper units 3A loading/paying-out articles and lower units 3B performing connection between adjacent carrier trucks and traveling over the entire length of a traveling rail 2 and is circulated and traveled. Because the carrier trucks loading articles on the upper units 3A energize primary side coils 62 of driving devices 6 disposed oppositely on lower sides of the carrier trucks when the carrier trucks travel discharging positions, thrust is generated in belts 53 for moving articles to be secondary side conductors of a linear motor and the belts 53 are driven. Articles mounted on the belts 53 are moved in a prescribed direction by driving the belts 53 and are discharged from a paying-out chute disposed at an article discharging position.
