TRUCK ACCOMODATING AND FORWARDING APPARATUS IN AERIAL TRANSPORT EQUIPMENT

摘要

PURPOSE:To reduce equipment investment and to improve work efficiency by conducting both operations for forwarding a truck and squeezing a truck for accomodation with one blower so as to immediately forward the truck from the position for accomodation. CONSTITUTION:An accomodating and forwarding apparatus for trucks is provided with a gate 22 mounted at the terminal end of an accomodating zone 21 for plural trucks. A stop zone 23 for trucks and gates 24, 25 are disposed at the start end of the accomodating zone. Branch paths 29 connected to each start end of unit zones for respective trucks in the accomodating zone 21 are extended from a blast path 28 connected to a blower 27 for feeding a truck 33 from the stop zone 23 to the accomodating zone 21. Each branch path 29 is provided with a valve 30, and the blast path 28 is provided with a valve 31. These valves 30, 31 are controlled by a control unit 32, so that the trucks 33 are forwarded one by one, and the trucks that have reached the stop zone 23 are sequentially squeezed deep into the accomodating zone 21.
