多くなり、コスト高になる欠点があった。(Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention) This type of transport train has running control that allows it to selectively stop at each station set in the running route or before a branching/merging route. However, at the same time, automatic stop control is also required to prevent rear-end collisions with stopped trains. Conventionally, control means for selectively stopping the train at a stop position or starting the stopped train and control means for preventing a rear-end collision have been separately provided, resulting in a large number of parts. However, it had the disadvantage of high cost.

る。(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the conventional problems as described above, the present invention has the following features:
One stop detector is installed on the front end side of the transport train that runs on its own along the travel route, and the rear end detector is installed on the rear end side of the train.
A detection plate for preventing a rear-end collision is provided which is detected by the stop detector of the train, and the stop position of the train is switchable between an active position detected by the stop detector and a non-active position where it is not detected. The present invention proposes a running control system for a transport train, which is configured to include a stop detection plate and to stop the train by the detection operation of the stop detector.

用位置で待機させておけば良い。(Operation of the invention) When stopping a train traveling toward a stop position at the stop position, the stop detection plate at the stop position is switched to the operating position. When the stop detector of the train detects the stop detection plate, the train automatically stops at this stop position. If it is not necessary to stop the train at this stop position, move the stop detection plate to a non-operating position so that the train stop detector cannot detect the stop detection plate. You can leave it on standby.

り、停止指令が消去されるので、当該電車は自動的に発
進する。When starting a stopped train, the stop detection plate is switched from an active position to a non-active position.As a result, the stop detector of the train switches from a detection state to a non-detection state, and the stop command is erased. Therefore, the train will start automatically.

換わるので、後続停止電車も追従発進することになる。When a running train approaches another stopped train within a certain distance on the same traveling route, the stop detector of the following train detects the collision prevention detection plate on the rear end side of the preceding stopped train. As a result, the train automatically stops in the same way as when the stop detection plate is detected at the stop position, avoiding a rear-end collision with the preceding stopped train. When the preceding stopped train starts and its collision prevention detection plate comes off the stop detector of the following stopped train, the stop detector of the following stopped train switches to a non-detection state, so the following stopped train also starts following. I will do it.

該近接スイッチ３が前記停止用被検出板５を検出する。Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. The motor 9 is operated by the electric power supplied from the power supply rail 17 via the current collection unit 10, and the drive wheels 7 are driven to rotate, so that the transport train 1 is moved to the guide rail 2. run along. When this train 1 reaches station 4, the solid line in Figure 1 and the
When the stop proximity switch 3 overlaps the stop detection plate 5 at the action value fiA as shown by the imaginary line in the figure, the stop proximity switch 3 detects the stop detection plate 5.

The actuator 6 moves the detection plate 5 for stopping at the operating position A.
Accordingly, the non-operating position B shown by the imaginary line in Figure 1 and the solid line in Figure 4
Switch to . As a result, the proximity switch 3 switches to the non-detection state, and the power supply circuit of the motor 9 is closed again.
The electric power supply to the motor 9 is restarted, the drive wheels 7 are driven to rotate, and the electric train 1 starts from the station 4.

良い。Furthermore, if you want the train 1 to run through the station 4 without stopping, the stop detection plate 5 is switched to the non-operating position B by the actuator 6 before the train 1 arrives, and the train 1 is stopped. It is sufficient if the proximity switch 3 cannot detect the stop detection plate 5.

うに発進する。When a following train 1 approaches within a certain distance of a train 1 that has stopped due to a breakdown or a train 1 that has stopped on a storage line, the stop proximity switch 3 of the following train 1 will activate the stop proximity switch 3 of the preceding stopped train 1. When the proximity switch 3 reaches a position overlapping the detection plate 22 for preventing rear-end collision, the proximity switch 3 detects the plate 22 to be detected for preventing rear-end collision. Similarly to the case where the following train 1 is detected, the following train 1 is automatically stopped. When the preceding stopped train 1 starts and its rear-end collision prevention detection plate 22 moves forward from the lower position of the stopping proximity switch 3 of the following stopped train 1, the proximity switch 3 of the following stopped train 1 is not detected. Therefore, in the same way as when the stop detection plate 5 is switched from the working position A to the non-working position, the stop of the following stopped train 1 is automatically released and the train starts to follow the preceding train 1. do.

Furthermore, although the stopping detection plate 5 is configured to be switched between the working position A and the non-working position B by being rotated by the rotary actuator 6, it is also possible to switch the position by linearly moving in and out.

実に行わせることが出来るに至ったのである。(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, the detection operation of one stop detector provided on the transport train side performs stop control to prevent a rear-end collision and stop control at a stop position such as a station. In addition, by simply switching the position of a single stop detection plate installed at a stop position such as a station using an actuator, you can stop an oncoming train,
It is possible to start a stopped train, or to let the train pass without stopping at the stop position. In other words, it has become possible to reliably perform the necessary stop/start control, including rear-end collision prevention control, using extremely simple means with a small number of parts.
