A power supply system includes a movable power supply device including a first power storage device, a robot including a second power storage device, and a controller, and the controller performs control for conveying the first power storage device to the robot by using the power supply device, on the basis of information about an amount of power stored in the second power storage device.

Power supply system and power supply device

A vertical circulating conveyor includes a lowering path part () and a raising path part () that connect end portions of a conveyance path part () and a return path part () vertically positioned in a linear arrangement. The lowering path part () includes front wheel lowering guide rails (A) to guide front wheels (F) of a transport vehicle () and rear wheel lowering guide rails (B) to guide rear wheels (R) of the transport vehicle (). The transport vehicle () is moved in the lowering path part () by falling under its own weight in almost the horizontal state in a powerless manner while the front wheels (F) of the transport vehicle () are guided by the front wheel lowering guide rails (A) and the rear wheels (R) of the transport vehicle () are guided by the rear wheel lowering guide rails (B).

Vertical circulating conveyor

An object of the present invention is to suppress rise in running resistance with increases in weight of a transport vehicle group, and prevent higher energy consumption and manufacturing cost. A transport device transports a transport vehicle () carrying an article (E) along a transport path including a curved path and forms a continuous floor (B) on the transport vehicle () in the entire or partial transport path. The transport device includes: running rails (R) that are laid along the transport path to support running wheels (, and) of the transport vehicle (); guide rails that guide the transport vehicle () along the transport path; a drive unit that drives the transport vehicle (); and a water way (WW) that is formed along the transport path to reserve water (W).

Transport device

There is provided a conveyance device that can convey a conveyance truck composed of two truck bodies on which a worker rides and does a work in a widthwise direction of a large conveyance object, using a friction type drive unit disposed on a linear route or a curved route, which can improve workability and reduce manufacturing cost. A conveyance device includes a connecting device C for connecting conveyance truckson front and rear positions. Each of the trucksis configured so that a first truck bodyA whose front and rear end surfaces are arc-shaped projections in plan view and a second truck bodyB whose front and rear end surfaces are arc-shaped recesses in plan view are connected to be capable of curving in a horizontal direction, and upper surfaces of the first truck bodyA and the second truck bodyB are approximately horizontal surfaces. Portions of the second truck bodyB that are radially inside a curved route and forms the arc-shaped recesses are composed of oscillation pieceas mobile bodies that make side surfaces of the first truck bodyA and the second truck bodyB approximately linear on a linear route and touch the side surface of the first truck bodyA to move on the curved route.

Conveyance device

To provide a slat conveyor apparatus in which course change path parts are moved without inverting the upper and lower sides of slats to eliminate the need for an expensive pitting work, wherein the slats can be held horizontally by a simplified configuration on the course change path parts at front and back ends in the direction of conveyance, whereby the length of the working process does not become shorter, and a required inverting action can be made by a simplified configuration. Endless chainsC are connected to front ends of the slatsin a traveling direction F, a supported means B to be supported at the course change path parts Cis provided to back ends of the slatsin the traveling direction F, a movable supporting means C is provided to the course change path parts Cto support the supported means B from below and hold the slatsin the horizontal posture, and the movable supporting means C repeatedly travels back and forth in the vertical direction in conjunction with movement of the endless chainsC and moves to a position at which to support the supported means B from below only when the supported means B passes through the course change path parts C

Slat conveyor apparatus

The transfer carincludes: a pair of guide postserected on diagonal corner portions of a baseformed nearly in a rectangular shape when viewed in a plan; a pair of lifting and lowering support bodiessupported by these guide postsand lifted and lowered; a lateral bridging memberlaterally bridging the pair of lifting and lowering support bodies; a turn tablemounted on a lower side in a center in a longitudinal direction of the lateral bridging memberand having a turning partB turned around a vertical axisC with respect to a fixed portionA; and a hangerhaving a top end portion coupled to the turning partB of the turn tableand hanging a vehicle body A placed on receiving partsB,B mounted on a bottom end portion.
