<p>PURPOSE:To enable stable recharge without applying excessive force onto respective members, by employing an articulation structure in a recharge arm for jointing a ground side terminal to a vehicle side electrode terminal. CONSTITUTION:Upon judgement that an unmanned carrier 11 traveled to a recharge station and stopped at a stopping position, a controller in a ground station elongates an air cylinder 28 to push out a ground side electrode terminal 36 arranged at the tip thereof. Consequently, a ground side electrode bracket 33 moves into the guide member 17 of the unmanned carrier 11. Upon completion of joint of the ground side and vehicle side electrode terminals 18, 36, recharge operation for a battery 12 is started. Then the ground electrode bracket 33 is supported movably up and down through a pin 34 and an arm support member 25 is supported rotatably by a support 23, thus achieving smooth elongating operation of the recharge arm when the electrode terminals 18, 36 are jointed.</p> |
