PURPOSE:To provide a battery charging current collector for an automatically guided vehicle in which a current collector provided on the vehicle side can be brought into contact, in safety with sufficient surface pressure, with a ground side electrode laid at a charging point. CONSTITUTION:A pair of positive and negative current collectors 6 connected with the terminals of a battery are disposed on the rear surface side of a truck 1a as a battery charging current collector for an automatically guided vehicle 1. The current collector 6 is brought into contact with a ground side electrode 4 connected with a charging power supply and laid at a charging point thus charging the battery. Means for lifting/lowering the current collector 6 is provided wherein a holder 7 supporting the current collector 6 is transmission coupled with a lifting/lowering drive motor 12 through a rack 10 and pinion 11. At the time of running the automatically guided vehicle 1, the current collector 6 is lifted and then lowered on the ground side electrode 4 at the charging point and the battery is charged while bringing them into pressure contact. |
