Description

本発明は、走行経路に敷設された左右一対のガイドレール上に走行自在に支持された台車と当該台車上に立設された昇降ガイド支柱、及びこの昇降ガイド支柱に沿って昇降自在な被搬送物支持台を備えた搬送用走行体に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a truck supported movably on a pair of left and right guide rails laid on a traveling route, a lifting guide column erected on the truck, and a transported member movable up and down along the lifting guide column. The present invention relates to a transporting traveling body having an object support.

この種の搬送用走行体そのものは、相当以前より知られているが、近年、取り扱う被搬送物の大型大重量化に対応するために搬送用走行体自体の大型大重量化が進んでいる。このような大型大重量の搬送用走行体になれば、製造工場内で搬送用走行体全体を一製品として組立て完成させたものをこの搬送用走行体が利用される倉庫設備内まで搬送して設置することが不可能になるため、特許文献１に示されるように、複数のパーツに分けておき、各パーツを設置現場まで搬送して当該設置現場において組み立てて搬送用走行体を完成させることが考えられていた。特許文献１に示される搬送用走行体では、前後一対の台車部と両台車部を連結一体化する台車部間連結部材、これら前後一対の台車部と両台車部を連結一体化する台車部間連結部材によって組み立てられた台車上に立設される昇降ガイド支柱、及び当該昇降ガイド支柱に沿って昇降する被搬送物支持台などに分割して設置現場に搬入し、現場でこれらパーツを組み立てて搬送用走行体を完成させることが提案されている。   This type of transporting vehicle itself has been known for some time, but in recent years, the transporting vehicle itself has been increasing in size and weight in order to cope with an increase in the size of the transported object to be handled. If it becomes such a large and heavy transporting traveling body, the whole transporting traveling body is assembled and completed as a single product in the manufacturing factory and transported to the warehouse facility where this transporting traveling body is used. Since installation becomes impossible, as shown in Patent Literature 1, it is divided into a plurality of parts, each part is transported to an installation site, and assembled at the installation site to complete a transporting vehicle. Was thought. In the transporting traveling body disclosed in Patent Document 1, a bogie section connecting member for connecting and integrating a pair of front and rear bogie sections and both bogie sections, and a bogie section for connecting and integrating these pair of front and rear bogie sections and both bogie sections. It is divided into an elevating guide column that stands upright on a trolley assembled by connecting members, and an object support table that moves up and down along the elevating column, and is carried into the installation site, where these parts are assembled at the site. It has been proposed to complete a transport vehicle.

しかしながら、特許文献１に記載された構成では、現場に敷設されている左右一対のガイドレール上に載置された前後一対の台車部単体は、自立性が無くて安定していないので、これら前後一対の台車部どうしを台車部間連結部材によって連結一体化して、先ず最初に台車を完成させ、この台車上の所定位置、具体的には前後一対の各台車部上に準備されている支柱取付け座部に昇降ガイド支柱を立設させ、これら前後一対の昇降ガイド支柱の上端部どうしを支柱間連結部材によって連結一体化すると共に被搬送物支持台を組み付けることにより、搬送用走行体を完成させるものであった。このため昇降ガイド支柱は、完成した台車の上面にある支柱取付け座部の真上に当該昇降ガイド支柱の下端が位置するように、昇降ガイド支柱全体を垂直姿勢で台車側の支柱取付け座部よりも高い高さまで吊上げると共に水平に移動させなければならない。従って、搬送用走行体の設置現場には、完成した搬送用走行体の昇降ガイド支柱の上端よりも高いレベルでＸＹ方向に移動させることが出来るクレーンが必要になるだけでなく、当該クレーンとして、大重量の昇降ガイド支柱全体を吊り上げることが出来る能力の大きなクレーンが必要になり、現実的には実用性に乏しい解決策であった。   However, in the configuration described in Patent Document 1, the pair of front and rear bogie units placed on a pair of left and right guide rails laid at the site do not have independence and are not stable. The pair of carts are connected and integrated by a cart-to-cart connection member, and the cart is completed first, and the column mounting provided at a predetermined position on the cart, specifically, on each of the pair of front and rear carts. An elevating guide column is erected on the seat, and the upper end portions of the pair of front and rear elevating guide columns are connected and integrated by an inter-column connecting member, and the transferred object support is assembled to complete the transporting traveling body. Was something. For this reason, the elevating guide column is positioned so that the lower end of the elevating guide column is located directly above the column mounting seat portion on the upper surface of the completed bogie, and the entire elevating guide column is vertically positioned from the column mounting seat portion on the bogie side. Must be lifted to a high height and moved horizontally. Therefore, not only is a crane that can be moved in the XY direction at a higher level than the upper end of the lifting guide column of the completed transporting traveling body required at the installation site of the transporting traveling body, This required a crane with a large capacity to lift the entire heavy lifting guide column, which was not practically practical.

本発明は、上記のような従来の問題点を解消することのできる搬送用走行体を提案するものであって、本発明に係る搬送用走行体は、後述する実施例との関係を理解し易くするために、当該実施例の説明において使用した参照符号を括弧付きで付して示すと、走行経路に敷設された左右一対のガイドレール(7)上に走行自在に支持された台車(2)と当該台車(2)上に立設された昇降ガイド支柱(3A)、及びこの昇降ガイド支柱(3A)に沿って昇降自在な被搬送物支持台(5)を備えた搬送用走行体(1)において、前記台車(2)は、互いに連結離脱自在な走行方向２つの台車部(8A,8B)を備え、これら２つの台車部(8A,8B)の内、少なくとも一方の台車部は、前記左右一対のガイドレール(7)それぞれに支持される車輪ユニット(11A,11B)とこれら両車輪ユニット(11A,11B)をつなぐ連結部材(10)とから成り、前記車輪ユニット(11A,11B)は、前記連結部材(10)の左右両端に互いに同心状の支軸(12)を介してシーソー運動自在に取り付けられた可動体(13)と、この可動体(13)の前記支軸(12)に対して前後両側に軸支された前後一対の車輪(14a,14b)とから成り、前記昇降ガイド支柱(3A)は、前記連結部材(10)上に取り付けられたもので、当該連結部材(10)と共に前記支軸(12)の周りに、前記台車(2)のある側とは反対側の走行経路上に倒伏した倒伏姿勢と起立姿勢との間で起伏運動自在に構成され、この昇降ガイド支柱(3A)が起立姿勢にある状態で前記連結部材(10)が前記２つの台車部(8A,8B)の内の他方の台車部に連結された構成になっている。   The present invention proposes a transporting traveling body that can solve the conventional problems as described above, and the transporting traveling body according to the present invention understands the relationship with the embodiments described below. For the sake of simplicity, the reference numerals used in the description of the embodiment are given in parentheses, and the bogie (2) supported on a pair of left and right guide rails (7) laid on the travel route so as to be able to travel freely. ) And a lifting guide column (3A) erected on the cart (2), and a transporting traveling body (5) having an object support table (5) that can move up and down along the lifting guide column (3A). In 1), the bogie (2) includes two bogie parts (8A, 8B) in a traveling direction that can be connected and disconnected from each other, and at least one bogie part of these two bogie parts (8A, 8B) is A wheel unit (11A, 11B) supported by each of the pair of left and right guide rails (7) and a link connecting the two wheel units (11A, 11B). A movable member attached to the left and right ends of the coupling member (10) via a concentric spindle (12) so as to be capable of seesaw movement. (13), and a pair of front and rear wheels (14a, 14b) pivotally supported on the front and rear sides with respect to the support shaft (12) of the movable body (13), the lifting guide support (3A), Attached on the connecting member (10), along with the connecting member (10), around the support shaft (12), fell down on a traveling path opposite to the side where the carriage (2) is located. The connecting member (10) is configured to be able to freely move up and down between the falling posture and the standing posture, and the connecting member (10) is in the two bogie parts (8A, 8B) in a state where the lifting guide support (3A) is in the standing posture. It is configured to be connected to the other bogie part.

上記本発明に係る搬送用走行体は、工場内などの据え付け現場に前もって準備された搬送用走行体の走行経路上に設置する場合、台車を構成する２つの台車部と昇降ガイド支柱の少なくとも３部品に分けて現場に搬入し、この現場において、走行経路側のガイドレール上に載置した２つの台車部の内、昇降ガイド支柱が立設される側の台車部に昇降ガイド支柱を立設する作業と、２つの台車部どうしを互いに連結して台車を完成させる作業とを行うことになるが、上記本発明の構成によれば、前記連結部材上に取り付けられた昇降ガイド支柱を当該連結部材と共に前記支軸の周りに、前記台車のある側とは反対側の走行経路上に回倒させた倒伏姿勢とすることが出来るものであるから、昇降ガイド支柱が取り付けられる前の前記連結部材を前記倒伏姿勢のときの横向き姿勢としておき、昇降ガイド支柱は、前記台車部の横向き姿勢の連結部材の支柱取付け部に昇降ガイド支柱の下端取付け部を対面させるように走行経路上に水平に倒伏させて載置し、この状態で台車部と昇降ガイド支柱を相対的に接近移動させることにより、横向きの連結部材の支柱取付け部に昇降ガイド支柱の下端取付け部を隣接させて、両者を結合することが出来る。この後、倒伏姿勢の昇降ガイド支柱を、例えばクレーンにより引き起こして垂直な起立姿勢に変えた状態で、両台車部を相対的に接近移動させて、起立姿勢の昇降ガイド支柱を備えた一方の台車部の前記連結部材と他方の台車部とを連結することにより、垂直に起立する昇降ガイド支柱を備えた台車を完成させることが出来る。   When the transporting traveling body according to the present invention is installed on a traveling path of the transporting traveling body prepared in advance at an installation site such as in a factory, at least three of the bogie part and the elevating guide column constituting the bogie are provided. Parts are transported to the site, and at this site, of the two bogies placed on the guide rails on the traveling route side, the elevating guide columns are set up on the bogie portion on the side where the elevating guide columns are set up And the work of connecting the two bogie parts to each other to complete the bogie. According to the configuration of the present invention, the elevating guide column attached on the connecting member is connected to the bogie. Along with the member, around the support shaft, it is possible to have a lying posture in which the vehicle is turned down on a traveling path opposite to the side where the bogie is located. Before The lifting guide support is placed horizontally on the traveling path so that the lower end mounting portion of the lifting guide support faces the mounting portion of the connecting member of the connecting member in the horizontal position of the bogie section. By placing the carriage and the lifting guide column relatively close to each other in this state, the lower end mounting portion of the lifting guide column is adjacent to the column mounting portion of the horizontal connecting member, and the two can be connected. I can do it. Thereafter, in a state in which the elevating guide column in the falling posture is changed to a vertical erecting posture by, for example, being caused by a crane, the two bogie parts are relatively moved closer to each other, and one bogie provided with the elevating guide column in the erecting posture By connecting the connecting member of the section and the other bogie section, a bogie provided with a vertically elevating guide column can be completed.

上記のように組み立てることが出来る本発明の搬送用走行体は、昇降ガイド支柱を起立姿勢のまま垂直に吊り上げて、当該昇降ガイド支柱の下端取付け部を台車の支柱取付け部に降ろして両者を結合しなければならない構成と比較して、昇降ガイド支柱が大型で大重量物となる搬送用走行体であっても、昇降ガイド支柱の取り扱いに要するクレーンとして、昇降ガイド支柱を倒伏姿勢から起立姿勢に引き起こすことが出来る程度の小型のクレーンを使用することが出来、しかもそのクレーンの架設高さも低く出来るので、作業に要するコストを下げることが出来ると共に作業自体も容易且つ安全に行える。又、本発明の構成では、昇降ガイド支柱が立設されて負荷の大きくなる台車部を４輪支持構造とすると共に、この４輪に荷重を分散させて安定良く昇降ガイド支柱を支持させるために、左右両側板の前後一対の車輪をシーソー運動可能な可動体に軸支しているが、この構成により、実際に昇降ガイド支柱が立設される連結部材を昇降ガイド支柱取付けのための横向き姿勢に回転させても、当該連結部材は安定してその横向き姿勢を保持できるので、横向き姿勢の連結部材に対する昇降ガイド支柱の取付けも容易且つ安全に行える。更に、前後一対の車輪を備えた可動体の連結部材の左右両端に軸支するための軸受け構造を、昇降ガイド支柱を起伏自在に軸支する軸受け構造に利用しており、台車側に昇降ガイド支柱を起伏自在に軸支する専用の軸受け構造は不要であるから、構造がシンプルになり安価且つ容易に実施出来る。 The transporting traveling body of the present invention, which can be assembled as described above, vertically lifts the elevating guide column in the upright posture, lowers the lower end mounting portion of the elevating guide column to the column mounting portion of the bogie, and joins the two. Compared to the configuration that must be performed, even if the lifting guide column is a large and heavy transporting traveling body, the lifting guide column is changed from the downright posture to the upright posture as a crane required for handling the lifting guide column. Since a crane as small as can be caused can be used and the height of the crane can be reduced, the cost required for the work can be reduced, and the work itself can be performed easily and safely. In addition, in the configuration of the present invention, the bogie section on which the lift guide posts are erected and having a large load is made a four-wheel support structure, and the load is distributed to these four wheels to stably support the lift guide posts. The pair of front and rear wheels of the left and right side plates are pivotally supported by a movable body capable of seesaw movement. With this configuration, the connecting member on which the elevating guide column is actually erected is in a horizontal position for mounting the elevating guide column. , The connecting member can stably hold its horizontal position, so that the elevating guide column can be easily and safely attached to the connecting member in the horizontal position. Further, a bearing structure for supporting the movable member having a pair of front and rear wheels at the left and right ends of the movable member is used for a bearing structure for supporting the lifting guide column so as to be able to move up and down. Since a dedicated bearing structure for pivotally supporting the column is not required, the structure is simple, and the structure can be implemented inexpensively and easily.

上記本発明は、前後２つの台車部の片側にのみ昇降ガイド支柱（単一の昇降ガイド支柱又は左右一対の昇降ガイド支柱）が立設される搬送用走行体として実施することも出来るが、この場合、他方の台車部は、外端部の左右両側に車輪を備えると共に内端側に、一方の台車部の昇降ガイド支柱が立設される連結部材との連結部を備えた構造とすることが出来、この場合の他方の台車部外端部の車輪は、同心状に軸支された左右一対の２輪構造であっても良いし、一方の台車部におけるシーソー運動自在な可動体に前後一対の車輪を軸支した構造から成る４輪構造であっても良い。しかしながら、前記台車(2)は、走行方向２つの台車部(8A,8B)と、この両台車部(8A,8B)どうしを連結する台車部間連結部材(9A,9B)とから構成し、走行方向２つの台車部(8A,8B)は、左右一対の前記車輪ユニット(11A,11B)と両車輪ユニット(11A,11B)をつなぐ前記連結部材(10)とから成る同一構造として、前記台車部間連結部材(9A,9B)は、２つの台車部(8A,8B)それぞれの前記連結部材(10)どうしを連結する構成とするのが望ましい。   The present invention can be embodied as a transport traveling body in which an elevating guide column (a single elevating guide column or a pair of right and left elevating guide columns) is erected only on one side of two front and rear bogie parts. In this case, the other bogie section has wheels on both the left and right sides of the outer end, and has a structure on the inner end side with a connecting portion with a connecting member on which the elevating guide column of one bogie section is erected. In this case, the wheel at the outer end of the other bogie portion may be a pair of left and right two-wheel structures supported concentrically, or may be moved forward and backward by a movable body capable of seesaw movement in one bogie portion. A four-wheel structure including a structure in which a pair of wheels are pivotally supported may be used. However, the bogie (2) is composed of two bogie parts (8A, 8B) in the traveling direction, and bogie part connecting members (9A, 9B) connecting these bogie parts (8A, 8B) to each other, The two bogie portions (8A, 8B) in the traveling direction have the same structure including a pair of left and right wheel units (11A, 11B) and the connecting member (10) connecting both wheel units (11A, 11B). It is preferable that the inter-section connecting members (9A, 9B) are configured to connect the connecting members (10) of the two bogie sections (8A, 8B).

上記構成を採用した８輪構造の台車とする場合、前記台車部間連結部材(9A,9B)は、両台車部(8A,8B)の前記連結部材(10)の左右両端部どうしを各別に連結するように左右一対設け、この左右一対の前記台車部間連結部材(9A,9B)の内、片側の台車部間連結部材(9A)の走行方向の２か所に、対応する片側のガイドレール(7)を挟む振れ止め用ローラー(36)を設けることが出来る。この構成によれば、両台車部(8A,8B)における片側のシーソー運動自在な可動体にガイドレールを挟む振れ止め用ローラーを設ける場合と比較して、振れ止め用ローラーが前記可動体のシーソー運動に伴ってガイドレール側面を上下方向に摺接するような不都合も回避出来るだけでなく、台車部間連結部材に対する取付け部材に振れ止め用ローラーを軸支した構造簡単なローラーユニットを活用出来る。   In the case of a truck having an eight-wheel structure employing the above configuration, the truck-to-bogie portion connecting members (9A, 9B) are separated from each other at the left and right ends of the connecting member (10) of both bogie portions (8A, 8B). A pair of right and left guides are provided so as to be connected, and one of the pair of right and left guides corresponding to two places in the traveling direction of the one inter-cart unit connecting member (9A) among the pair of right and left cart connecting members (9A, 9B). A steadying roller (36) sandwiching the rail (7) can be provided. According to this configuration, the anti-sway roller is provided by the seesaw of the movable body, compared to the case where the anti-sway roller that sandwiches the guide rail is provided on the movable member on one side of the two carriage units (8A, 8B) that is capable of seesaw movement. In addition to avoiding the inconvenience of sliding the guide rail sideways in the vertical direction with the movement, a roller unit having a simple structure in which the anti-sway roller is pivotally supported on a mounting member for the inter-cart unit connecting member can be utilized.

上記構成を採用した８輪構造の台車(2)を利用する場合、前記昇降ガイド支柱(3A,3B)は、走行方向２つの台車部(8A,8B)における前記連結部材(10)上にそれぞれ立設し、これら前後一対の昇降ガイド支柱(3A,3B)の上端部どうしを連結する支柱間連結部材(4)を設け、前記被搬送物支持台(5)は、前後一対の前記昇降ガイド支柱(3A,3B)間で昇降運動するように構成することが出来る。又、何れの構成を採用する場合でも、前記昇降ガイド支柱(3A,3B)に沿って前記被搬送物支持台(5)を昇降駆動する昇降駆動手段(6A,6B)が必要になるが、この昇降駆動手段(6A,6B)は、前記連結部材(10)に対し上方に抜き取り可能に嵌合固定し、この昇降駆動手段(6A,6B)の上面に前記昇降ガイド支柱(3A,3B)を取り付けることが出来る。   When using an eight-wheeled truck (2) adopting the above configuration, the lifting guide posts (3A, 3B) are respectively mounted on the connecting members (10) in the two truck portions (8A, 8B) in the traveling direction. An upright connecting member (4) for connecting the upper end portions of the pair of front and rear elevating guide columns (3A, 3B) is provided, and the transferred object support (5) is a pair of front and rear elevating guides. It can be configured to move up and down between the columns (3A, 3B). Also, in any case of adopting any configuration, the lifting drive means (6A, 6B) for vertically driving the transported object support (5) along the lifting guide posts (3A, 3B) is required, The lifting drive means (6A, 6B) is detachably fitted and fixed upward to the connecting member (10), and the lifting guide support (3A, 3B) is mounted on the upper surface of the lifting drive means (6A, 6B). Can be attached.

この構成によれば、垂直に立設された後の昇降ガイド支柱に対して前記昇降駆動部を取り付ける場合と比較して、昇降ガイド支柱に対して低位にある前記連結部材に対して昇降駆動部を取り付けるのであるから、その取り付け作業時期に関係なく昇降駆動部の取り付け作業を容易に行える。又、垂直に立設される前の昇降ガイド支柱に前記昇降駆動部を取り付けておく場合と比較すれば、倒伏姿勢の昇降ガイド支柱の下端を連結部材に取り付ける作業や、倒伏姿勢の昇降ガイド支柱の引き起こし作業にかかる重量負担が小さくなり、これら作業が容易且つ安全に行える。更に、連結部材に嵌め込まれて固定される前記昇降駆動手段が昇降ガイド支柱の取付け座となるので、別に専用の支柱取付け座を設ける場合と比較して、部品点数の削減につながるだけでなく、昇降ガイド支柱と昇降駆動手段の相対位置関係が自動的に所期設定通りに決まることになり、確実に所期設定通りの動作を実行させることが容易になる。   According to this configuration, as compared with the case where the elevation drive unit is attached to the elevation guide column after being vertically erected, the elevation drive unit is connected to the connection member that is lower than the elevation guide column. , The work of mounting the lifting drive can be easily performed regardless of the time of the work. Also, as compared with the case where the lifting drive unit is attached to the lifting guide column before being vertically erected, the work of attaching the lower end of the lifting guide column in the falling posture to the connecting member, and the lifting guide column in the falling posture , The weight burden on the work is reduced, and these works can be performed easily and safely. Furthermore, since the lifting drive means fitted and fixed to the connecting member serves as a mounting seat for the lifting guide column, it not only leads to a reduction in the number of parts, but also to a case where a dedicated column mounting seat is separately provided. Since the relative positional relationship between the lifting guide column and the lifting drive means is automatically determined as intended, it is easy to reliably perform the operation as intended.

更に、前記連結部材(10)は、前記左右一対の車輪ユニット(11A,11B)を各別に支持する左右一対の側枠部材(10a,10b)と、これら両側枠部材(10a,10b)どうしを連結する外側の主連結部材(10c)と内側の副連結部材(10d)から構成し、前記被搬送物支持台(5)を昇降駆動する昇降駆動手段(6A,6B)は、前記主連結部材(10c)と前記副連結部材(10d)の間に上方に抜き取り可能に嵌合固定し、前記内側の副連結部材(10d)は、左右一対の前記側枠部材(10a,10b)に対して着脱自在に構成することが出来る。この構成によれば、前記昇降ガイド支柱に前記昇降駆動手段を取り付けておく場合の前記不都合を回避出来るだけでなく、組み立てられて使用状態にある搬送用走行体から前記昇降駆動手段をメンテナンスなどのために取り外す必要が生じたとき、前記連結部材を構成している副連結部材を左右両側の側枠部材から取り外すことにより、台車の内側へ前記昇降駆動手段を引き抜くように取り外すことが出来る。勿論、前記のように当該昇降駆動手段の上に昇降ガイド支柱を支持する構成を採用している場合には、当該昇降ガイド支柱と共に昇降駆動手段を取り外すことになる。   Further, the connecting member (10) is a pair of left and right side frame members (10a, 10b) that separately support the pair of left and right wheel units (11A, 11B), and these two side frame members (10a, 10b). Elevating drive means (6A, 6B), which comprises an outer main connecting member (10c) and an inner sub-connecting member (10d) to be connected, and drives the transported object support base (5) up and down, comprises the main connecting member. (10c) and the sub-connecting member (10d) are upwardly detachably fitted and fixed between the sub-connecting member (10d), and the inner sub-connecting member (10d) is positioned with respect to the pair of left and right side frame members (10a, 10b). It can be configured to be detachable. According to this configuration, not only the inconvenience of attaching the elevating drive unit to the elevating guide post but also avoiding the inconvenience can be avoided. Therefore, when it is necessary to remove the sub-connecting member that constitutes the connecting member from the left and right side frame members, the lifting drive unit can be detached to the inside of the bogie so as to be pulled out. Of course, when the configuration for supporting the lifting guide column on the lifting driving unit is adopted as described above, the lifting driving unit is removed together with the lifting guide column.

上記のように前後一対の台車部８Ａ，８Ｂの連結部材１０どうしを左右一対の台車部間連結部材９Ａ，９Ｂによって連結一体化して台車２を完成させたときには、当該台車２は、その四隅に位置する車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂと、片側のガイドレール７に係合する前後２か所のローラーユニット３２Ａ，３２Ｂによって、走行経路側の左右一対のガイドレール７上に走行自在に支持され、しかも当該台車２の四隅に位置する各車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂは、それぞれ台車２（台車部８Ａ，８Ｂ）に対して固定支軸１２の周りにシーソー運動自在な可動体１３に前後一対の車輪１４ａ，１４ｂを軸支したものであるから、各台車部８Ａ，８Ｂの４輪の車輪１４ａ，１４ｂの１つがガイドレール７の上面から浮き上がるような３点支持状態になる恐れは皆無であり、台車２は、ガタツキなく安定した状態で走行することが出来る。   When the connecting member 10 of the pair of front and rear bogie parts 8A, 8B is connected and integrated by the pair of right and left bogie part connecting members 9A, 9B as described above, the bogie 2 is completed at its four corners. The wheel units 11A and 11B are positioned and two roller units 32A and 32B are engaged with the guide rail 7 on one side and are supported on the pair of left and right guide rails 7 on the traveling route side so as to be able to travel freely. Each of the wheel units 11A and 11B located at the four corners of the cart 2 has a pair of front and rear wheels 14a and 14b on a movable body 13 that is capable of seesaw movement around a fixed support shaft 12 with respect to the cart 2 (cart units 8A and 8B). , So that one of the four wheels 14a, 14b of each of the bogies 8A, 8B is in a three-point support state in which it floats up from the upper surface of the guide rail 7. That fear is none, the carriage 2, can be run at rattling without a stable state.

上記のように台車２が完成したならば、前後一対の昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂの上端部どうしを支柱間連結部材４によって連結し、両昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂ間に被搬送物支持台５を組み付ければ搬送用走行体１が完成するのであるが、図１及び図２に示すように前記被搬送物支持台５は、各昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂの内側を前記昇降用ガイドレール２６に沿って昇降自在な前後一対の吊下げユニット３８ａ，３８ｂに、前後両側辺の左右２か所が吊り下げられ、これら両吊下げユニット３８ａ，３８ｂは、各昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂの上端部に軸支されている左右一対の案内輪３９ａ，３９ｂに掛け渡された左右一対前後二組の昇降駆動用ベルト４０ａ，４０ｂの一端に係止され、当該昇降駆動用ベルト４０ａ，４０ｂの他端には、各昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂの後ろ側解放の内部空間内に昇降自在に内装された重錘ユニット４１Ａ，４１Ｂが吊り下げられる。更に、前記吊下げユニット３８ａ，３８ｂの下端と前記重錘ユニット４１Ａ，４１Ｂの下端は、前記昇降駆動手段６Ａ，６Ｂの左右一対の駆動用回転体１９ａ，１９ｂにＵ字状に掛け渡された左右一対前後二組の昇降駆動用ベルト１８ａ，１８ｂの上端に連結される。この結果、下側の左右一対の昇降駆動用ベルト１８ａ，１８ｂと上側の左右一対の昇降駆動用ベルト４０ａ，４０ｂが、吊下げユニット３８ａ，３８ｂと重錘ユニット４１Ａ，４１Ｂを介して無端状に接続される。重錘ユニット４１Ａ，４１Ｂは重量物であるから、台車２上に昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂが垂直に立設された後に当該昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂに内装して昇降駆動用ベルト１８ａ，１８ｂ，４０ａ，４０ｂを接続することが出来る。   When the cart 2 is completed as described above, the upper end portions of the pair of front and rear elevating guide posts 3A and 3B are connected to each other by the inter-post connecting member 4, and the transferred object support 5 is interposed between the two elevating guide posts 3A and 3B. 1 and 2, the transporting support 1 is completed. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the transported object support 5 moves the inside of each of the lifting guide columns 3A and 3B to the lifting guide rail 26. A pair of front and rear suspension units 38a and 38b that can freely move up and down along the front and rear sides are suspended at two places on the left and right sides of the front and rear sides, and the both suspension units 38a and 38b are at the upper ends of the respective lifting guide posts 3A and 3B. Are fixed to one end of two pairs of left and right front and rear driving belts 40a and 40b which are suspended over a pair of left and right guide wheels 39a and 39b which are pivotally supported by the other end, and the other ends of the lifting and lowering drive belts 40a and 40b. In Lifting guide column 3A, the weight unit 41A is vertically movable furnished in the inner space of the rear release 3B, 41B is suspended. Further, the lower ends of the hanging units 38a, 38b and the lower ends of the weight units 41A, 41B are wound in a U-shape on a pair of left and right driving rotating bodies 19a, 19b of the lifting / lowering driving means 6A, 6B. It is connected to the upper ends of two pairs of left and right and front and back two sets of driving belts 18a and 18b. As a result, the lower left / right pair of lifting / lowering driving belts 18a, 18b and the upper left / right pair of lifting / lowering driving belts 40a, 40b are formed endlessly via the suspension units 38a, 38b and the weight units 41A, 41B. Connected. Since the weight units 41A and 41B are heavy, the lifting guide posts 3A and 3B are vertically erected on the bogie 2 and are then mounted on the lifting guide posts 3A and 3B to be lifted and driven by belts 18a and 18b. 40a and 40b can be connected.

以上のようにして組み立てられた搬送用走行体１は、合計８輪の車輪１４ａ，１４ｂそれぞれを、これら８輪に直結の制動機能付き電動モーター１６ａ，１６ｂを同期稼動させることによりガイドレール７上で前後進させると共に所定位置で停止させることが出来、この搬送用走行体１の停止中又は走行中に、昇降駆動手段６Ａ，６Ｂの制動機能付き電動モーター２０ａ，２０ｂを同期稼動させることにより、昇降駆動用ベルト１８ａ，１８ｂ，４０ａ，４０ｂと吊下げユニット３８ａ，３８ｂを介して被搬送物支持台５を昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂ間で平行に昇降移動させることが出来る。尚、被搬送物支持台５には、図１に示すように被搬送物移載手段５ａを設置することが出来る。又、図２Ａ及び図３では、昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂの後ろ側が解放された状態で示しているが、昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂの後ろ側解放部には、必要に応じてカバープレートやフレームなどを付設することが出来る。   The transporting traveling body 1 assembled as described above is driven on the guide rail 7 by synchronously operating the eight wheels 14a and 14b in total and the electric motors 16a and 16b with a braking function directly connected to the eight wheels. The transport motor 1 can be stopped and stopped at a predetermined position. When the transporting vehicle 1 is stopped or traveling, the electric motors 20a and 20b with the braking function of the lifting / lowering driving means 6A and 6B are operated synchronously. The transferred object support 5 can be moved up and down in parallel between the elevating guide columns 3A and 3B via the elevating and lowering driving belts 18a, 18b, 40a and 40b and the suspension units 38a and 38b. It is to be noted that a transferred object transfer means 5a can be provided on the transferred object support table 5 as shown in FIG. Although FIGS. 2A and 3 show the rear side of the lifting guide posts 3A and 3B in a released state, the rear release portions of the lifting guide posts 3A and 3B may include cover plates and frames as necessary. Etc. can be attached.

以上に説明した搬送用走行体１の組み立て作業において、ガイドレール７上に車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂを介して支持させた台車部８Ａ，８Ｂは、位置や平面視での向きが不安定な状況にあるので、連結部材１０を直角外向きに回転させる作業や昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂの連結作業に悪影響が及ぶ恐れが考えられる。この問題点を解消するために、図１２Ａ及び図１２Ｂに示すように、連結部材１０の左右両端の車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂをガイドレール７に固定する左右一対の第一治具４２を併用することが出来る。図示の第一治具４２は、可動体１３の上側に載置してボルト４３ａにより当該可動体１３（２つのＴ字形部材１３ａ，１３ｂ）に着脱自在に取り付け出来る水平板材４３の外側辺に、可動体１３の中央縦長部分の外側に沿わせて下端部をガイドレール７の横側部に位置させることが出来る垂直板材４４を溶接などにより固着連設し、この垂直板材４４の下端部内側に、ガイドレール７との間の隙間を狭める水平棒状部材４４ａを固着すると共に、この水平棒状部材４４ａに設けられた前後一対の貫通ネジ孔に対し垂直板材４４の外側から螺合貫通させるロックボルト４５を設けたものである。   In the assembling work of the transporting traveling body 1 described above, the bogie portions 8A and 8B supported on the guide rails 7 via the wheel units 11A and 11B are in a situation where the position and the direction in plan view are unstable. Therefore, there is a possibility that the work of rotating the connecting member 10 outward at right angles and the work of connecting the lifting guide posts 3A and 3B may be adversely affected. In order to solve this problem, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, a pair of left and right first jigs 42 for fixing the wheel units 11A and 11B at both left and right ends of the connecting member 10 to the guide rail 7 are used together. Can be done. The illustrated first jig 42 is placed on the upper side of the movable body 13 and mounted on the outer side of a horizontal plate 43 that can be detachably attached to the movable body 13 (two T-shaped members 13a and 13b) by bolts 43a. A vertical plate member 44 whose lower end portion can be positioned along the outer side of the central vertical portion of the movable body 13 and whose lower end portion can be located on the lateral side portion of the guide rail 7 is fixedly connected by welding or the like, and is provided inside the lower end portion of the vertical plate member 44. A lock bolt 45 for fixing a horizontal bar-like member 44a for narrowing the gap between the guide rail 7 and a pair of front and rear through screw holes provided in the horizontal bar-like member 44a from outside the vertical plate 44. Is provided.

上記の第一治具４２は、ガイドレール７上の所定位置に所定の向きで載置させた台車部８Ａ，８Ｂの左右一対の車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂそれぞれの可動体１３（２つのＴ字形部材１３ａ，１３ｂ）の上面に水平板材４３を載置してボルト４３ａにより当該可動体１３に固定すれば、その垂直板材４４の下端部内側にある水平棒状部材４４ａがガイドレール７の外側面に隣接するので、この状態でロックボルト４５を締め付けて先端をガイドレール７の側面に圧接させることにより、左右一対の車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂに取り付けられた左右一対の第一治具４２のロックボルト４５によって左右一対のガイドレール７を左右両側から挟みこんで、左右一対の車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂをガイドレール７上の所定位置に所定の向きで固定することが出来る。従って、連結部材１０を固定支軸１２の周りに回転させる作業や、直角外向きに回転させた連結部材１０に対する昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂの連結作業などを容易且つ確実に行える。尚、垂直板材４４の内側には、固定支軸１２からの可動体１３（円筒形軸受け１３ｃ）の抜け出しを防止する抜け止め用円形板１２ａを当該固定支軸１２に固定するためのボルト１２ｂの頭部が突出している。従って、このボルト１２ｂの頭部を避けるための円形貫通孔４４ｂを垂直板材４４に設けておくときは、垂直板材４４の軽量化に役立つだけでなく、垂直板材４４を抜け止め用円形板１２ａの表面周囲に当接させて安定させることが出来、更に垂直板材４４とガイドレール７との間の隙間を狭めることが出来る。   The first jig 42 includes a movable body 13 (two T-shaped members) of each of a pair of left and right wheel units 11A and 11B of the bogie units 8A and 8B placed at a predetermined position on the guide rail 7 in a predetermined direction. 13a, 13b), the horizontal plate member 43a is placed on the upper surface of the vertical rail 44 and fixed to the movable body 13 with bolts 43a. Therefore, in this state, the lock bolt 45 is tightened and the tip is pressed against the side surface of the guide rail 7 so that the lock bolt 45 of the pair of left and right first jigs 42 attached to the pair of left and right wheel units 11A and 11B. The pair of left and right guide rails 7 are sandwiched from both left and right sides, and the pair of left and right wheel units 11A and 11B are fixed at predetermined positions on the guide rails 7 in a predetermined direction. To it can be. Therefore, the operation of rotating the connecting member 10 around the fixed support shaft 12 and the operation of connecting the lifting guide posts 3A and 3B to the connecting member 10 rotated outward at right angles can be performed easily and reliably. In addition, inside the vertical plate member 44, bolts 12b for fixing to the fixed support shaft 12 a retaining circular plate 12a for preventing the movable body 13 (cylindrical bearing 13c) from coming off from the fixed support shaft 12. The head is protruding. Therefore, when a circular through hole 44b for avoiding the head of the bolt 12b is provided in the vertical plate 44, it not only helps to reduce the weight of the vertical plate 44 but also prevents the circular plate 12a from slipping off the vertical plate 44. It can stabilize by contacting the periphery of the surface, and the gap between the vertical plate member 44 and the guide rail 7 can be narrowed.

水平に倒伏させた昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂを台車部８Ａ，８Ｂの連結部材１０に取り付ける場合、当該連結部材１０は直角外向きに９０度回転させるのであるが、この状態で当該連結部材１０が固定支軸１２の周りに回転するのを防止する第二治具４６を併用することが出来る。図１１〜図１４Ｂに示すように、前記第一治具４２によってガイドレール７に固定された車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂの連結部材１０を固定支軸１２の周りに９０度外向きに回転させたとき、車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂの内側で横向きになった連結部材１０の両端の側枠部材１０ａ，１０ｂの、台車部間連結部材９Ａ，９Ｂを連結させるための取付け座部３１ａ，３１ｂが、車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂの上面より高い位置で水平に位置することになる。第二治具４６は、連結部材１０を固定支軸１２の周りに９０度外向きに回転させたときの前記取付け座部３１ａ，３１ｂの上に重ねてボルト４７ａにより着脱自在に固定される上位水平板材４７と、前記第一治具４２の水平板材４３の上に重ねてボルト４８ａにより着脱自在に固定される下位水平板材４８とを、中間垂直板材４９により階段状に連結一体化したものである。   When attaching the vertically guided lifting guide posts 3A, 3B to the connecting members 10 of the bogie parts 8A, 8B, the connecting members 10 are rotated 90 degrees outward at right angles. In this state, the connecting members 10 are rotated. A second jig 46 for preventing rotation around the fixed support shaft 12 can be used together. As shown in FIGS. 11 to 14B, when the connecting member 10 of the wheel units 11A and 11B fixed to the guide rail 7 by the first jig 42 is rotated outward by 90 degrees around the fixed support shaft 12. The mounting seats 31a and 31b for connecting the inter-cart unit connecting members 9A and 9B of the side frame members 10a and 10b at both ends of the connecting member 10 turned sideways inside the wheel units 11A and 11B are provided in the wheel unit. It will be located horizontally above the upper surface of 11A, 11B. The second jig 46 is superimposed on the mounting seats 31a and 31b when the connecting member 10 is rotated 90 degrees outward around the fixed support shaft 12 and is detachably fixed by bolts 47a. The horizontal plate member 47 and the lower horizontal plate member 48 which is superimposed on the horizontal plate member 43 of the first jig 42 and is detachably fixed by bolts 48a are integrally connected in a stepwise manner by an intermediate vertical plate member 49. is there.

上記第二治具４６は、左右一対の車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂの内の少なくとも片側の車輪ユニット１１Ａ／１１Ｂに対して前記第一治具４２と組み合わせて使用することにより、ガイドレール７に対して所定位置に所定向きで固定された状態の左右一対の車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂに対して、昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂを取り付けるために直角外向きに回転させた連結部材１０を固定することが出来、ジャッキなどを利用して連結部材１０を床面との間で固定する場合と比較して、昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂを取り付けるための好適な姿勢に簡単容易に連結部材１０を固定することが出来る。勿論、左右一対の車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂを位置決め固定する治具として前記第一治具４２を使用しない場合は、前記第二治具４６の下位水平板材４８を車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂの可動体１３（Ｔ字形部材１３ａ，１３ｂ）の上に重ねて固定できるように構成すれば良い。   The second jig 46 is used in combination with the first jig 42 for at least one of the wheel units 11A / 11B of the pair of left and right wheel units 11A and 11B, so that In order to attach the lifting guide posts 3A, 3B to the pair of left and right wheel units 11A, 11B fixed at a predetermined position in a predetermined direction, it is possible to fix the connecting member 10 rotated at right angles outward, Compared with the case where the connecting member 10 is fixed to the floor using a jack or the like, the connecting member 10 can be easily and easily fixed to a suitable posture for mounting the lifting guide posts 3A and 3B. . Of course, when the first jig 42 is not used as a jig for positioning and fixing the pair of left and right wheel units 11A and 11B, the lower horizontal plate 48 of the second jig 46 is moved to the movable body 13 of the wheel units 11A and 11B. (T-shaped members 13a and 13b) may be configured so as to be overlapped and fixed.

上記第一治具４２と第二治具４６を組み合わせて、昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂを取り付けるための好適な位置と姿勢に連結部材１０を固定した状態で、水平倒伏姿勢の昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂを当該連結部材１０に取り付けたならば、第二治具４６を取り外して連結部材１０の回転を可能にした上で、昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂを垂直起立姿勢に引き起こすのであるが、両台車部８Ａ，８Ｂを台車部間連結部材９Ａ，９Ｂによって連結一体化するときには、少なくとも一方の台車部８Ａ／８Ｂを他方の台車部に接近移動させなければならないので、このときの移動させる側の台車部８Ａ／８Ｂからは第一治具４２も取り外さなければならない。   By combining the first jig 42 and the second jig 46 and fixing the connecting member 10 at a suitable position and posture for mounting the elevating guide posts 3A and 3B, the elevating guide posts 3A and When the connecting member 3B is attached to the connecting member 10, the second jig 46 is removed to allow the connecting member 10 to rotate, and then the elevating guide posts 3A and 3B are raised to the vertical standing posture. When the parts 8A and 8B are connected and integrated by the inter-cart unit connecting members 9A and 9B, at least one of the cart units 8A / 8B must be moved closer to the other cart unit. The first jig 42 must also be removed from the portions 8A / 8B.

両台車部８Ａ，８Ｂを台車部間連結部材９Ａ，９Ｂによって連結一体化する場合、各台車部８Ａ，８Ｂに対して昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂを垂直起立姿勢に保持しておかなければならない。この場合、図１５Ａ及び図１５Ｂに示す第三治具５０が利用出来る。この第三治具５０は、台車部８Ａ，８Ｂの左右一対の車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂの可動体１３（２つのＴ字形部材１３ａ，１３ｂ）の上面に載置してボルト５１ａにより固定出来る上位水平板材５１と、昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂを垂直起立姿勢に保持したときの正立姿勢の連結部材１０の両端部上面（側枠部材１０ａ，１０ｂの上面）に載置してボルト５２ａにより固定出来る下位水平板材５２を、垂直板材５３によって連結一体化したものである。   When the two truck parts 8A, 8B are connected and integrated by the truck part connecting members 9A, 9B, the lifting guide posts 3A, 3B must be held in a vertical standing posture with respect to the respective truck parts 8A, 8B. In this case, the third jig 50 shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B can be used. The third jig 50 is placed on the upper surface of the movable body 13 (two T-shaped members 13a, 13b) of the pair of left and right wheel units 11A, 11B of the cart portions 8A, 8B, and can be fixed by bolts 51a. The plate member 51 and the lifting guide posts 3A, 3B can be placed on the upper surfaces of both ends (the upper surfaces of the side frame members 10a, 10b) of the connecting member 10 in the erect posture when the elevating guide posts 3A, 3B are held in the vertical standing posture, and can be fixed by the bolts 52a. The lower horizontal plate member 52 is connected and integrated by a vertical plate member 53.

従って、各台車部８Ａ，８Ｂに対して昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂを垂直起立姿勢に切り換えた状態において、各台車部８Ａ，８Ｂの車輪ユニット１１Ａ，１１Ｂの内の少なくとも一方と正立姿勢の連結部材１０の端部（側枠部材１０ａ，１０ｂ）とを第三治具５０によって連結することにより、昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂを垂直起立姿勢に保持させることが出来る。この第三治具５０を使用することにより、垂直起立姿勢に引き起こした昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂを、この引き起こしに使用したクレーンなどによりそのまま垂直起立姿勢に保持しておく場合よりも、安定良く確実に昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂを垂直起立姿勢に保持させることが出来、作業性を向上させることが出来る。尚、この第三治具５０の上位水平板材５１を、台車部８Ａ，８Ｂの位置決めに使用されている第一治具４２の水平板材４３の上に重ねて固定出来るように構成することが出来る。この場合、第三治具５０の下位水平板材５２と連結部材１０の両端部上面（側枠部材１０ａ，１０ｂの上面）との間に、第一治具４２の水平板材４３の厚さ分に相当するスペーサーを介在させれば良い。   Therefore, in a state in which the lifting guide posts 3A, 3B are switched to the vertical standing posture with respect to the bogie portions 8A, 8B, at least one of the wheel units 11A, 11B of the bogie portions 8A, 8B is connected in the upright posture. By connecting the ends (side frame members 10a and 10b) of the member 10 with the third jig 50, the lifting guide posts 3A and 3B can be held in the vertical standing posture. By using the third jig 50, the vertical guide columns 3A and 3B raised in the vertical standing posture are more stably and reliably compared to the case where the crane or the like used to raise the vertical supporting columns 3A and 3B keeps the vertical standing postures. In addition, the lifting guide posts 3A and 3B can be held in a vertical standing posture, and workability can be improved. The upper horizontal plate 51 of the third jig 50 can be configured so as to be overlapped and fixed on the horizontal plate 43 of the first jig 42 used for positioning the cart portions 8A and 8B. . In this case, between the lower horizontal plate member 52 of the third jig 50 and the upper surface of both ends of the connecting member 10 (the upper surfaces of the side frame members 10a and 10b), the thickness of the horizontal plate member 43 of the first jig 42 is provided. What is necessary is just to interpose a corresponding spacer.

以上のようにして、昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂを垂直起立姿勢に切り換えた状態の両台車部８Ａ，８Ｂを、左右一対の台車部間連結部材９Ａ，９Ｂによって両台車部８Ａ，８Ｂの正立姿勢の連結部材１０の両端の側枠部材１０ａ，１０ｂどうしを連結一体化することにより、前後一対の台車部８Ａ，８Ｂと左右一対の台車部間連結部材９Ａ，９Ｂとから成り且つ前後両端部に昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂが垂直に起立する、平面視が矩形枠状の台車２が完成する。勿論、この状態では第三治具５０を取り外しても、垂直起立姿勢の昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂを支持している両台車部８Ａ，８Ｂの連結部材１０どうしが台車部間連結部材９Ａ，９Ｂによって連結一体化されているので、昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂは台車２に対して垂直起立姿勢を保っている。この後、前後一対の昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂの上端部どうしを支柱間連結部材４によって連結し、吊下げユニット３８ａ，３８ｂを介して被搬送物支持台５を両昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂ間に昇降自在に支持させると共に、各昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂに内装した重錘ユニット４１Ａ，４１Ｂと前記吊下げユニット３８ａ，３８ｂを、昇降駆動手段６Ａ，６Ｂを経由した下側の昇降駆動用ベルト１８ａ，１８ｂと、各昇降ガイド支柱３Ａ，３Ｂの上端の案内輪３９ａ，３９ｂを経由した上側の昇降駆動用ベルト４０ａ，４０ｂとで、上下逆方向に昇降運動するように連動連結することによって、搬送用走行体１が完成する。   As described above, the two bogie parts 8A, 8B in the state where the lifting guide posts 3A, 3B are switched to the vertical upright posture are erected by the pair of right and left bogie part connecting members 9A, 9B. By connecting and integrating the side frame members 10a and 10b at both ends of the connecting member 10 in the posture, the pair of front and rear bogie portions 8A and 8B and the pair of right and left bogie portion connecting members 9A and 9B are formed. Then, the carriage 2 having a rectangular frame shape in plan view, in which the elevating guide posts 3A and 3B stand vertically, is completed. Of course, in this state, even if the third jig 50 is removed, the connecting members 10 of the bogie portions 8A, 8B supporting the vertically rising and lowering guide posts 3A, 3B are connected to the bogie portion connecting members 9A, 9B. As a result, the lifting guide posts 3A and 3B maintain a vertical standing posture with respect to the carriage 2.
