<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic guided vehicle and its charging control method, whereby the recovery work of an automatic guided vehicle having its completely discharged battery is automatically performed to resolve and prevent traffic snarl and reduce the charging time or the charging frequency of the battery. SOLUTION: In an automatic guided vehicle operation using a battery 11 as the power source and the charging control method, communicating by a communication means 4 to an automatic guided vehicle 1 in the state of its being stopped, and computing battery information and/or navigation information, etc., its own informations are compared by a control means 5 with the informations received of other automatic guided vehicles to determine the automatic guided vehicles which receive or perform respectively the chargings of their batteries, and if necessary, to determine the automatic guided vehicles which receive or perform no charging. Thereafter, connecting itself by connection means 2 with other automatic vehicles or with connectable apparatuses, the connecting states of its mounted battery 11 with the connection means 2 are changed over into each other by a switching means 3 to perform the mutual chargings of batteries between it and other automatic guided vehicles.</p> |
