Abstract

PURPOSE:To stop an unmanned carrier urgently in a place distant from a station by providing a remote light emitting device, which issues an emergency stop command and is installed independently of the unmanned carrier, and a photodetecting device which receives the rays of light from the remote light emitting device. CONSTITUTION:The remote light emitting device 6 using an LED is attached to a ceiling and is installed independently of the unmanned carrier and emits an optical shower. The photodetecting device 7 which receives the rays of light from this device 6 is attached onto the unmanned carrier 1. In case that the unmanned carrier 1 running apart from a station 3 is stopped urgently, the emergency stop command is issued from the remote light emitting device 6, and this command is detected by the photodetecting device 7 and is analyzed, and the unmanned carrier number is detected to stop urgently the designated unmanned carrier 1. In case that emergency stop is released, an emergency stop button is released to make the manual operation possible.

) to the automated guided vehicle (υ), the automated guided vehicle J[(1
After analyzing the contents of the command, the robot 7 starts moving back and forth between the stations (3) along the travel path (5). One management station (4) issues commands to a plurality of automatic guided vehicles (1). If you want to stop a certain automatic guided vehicle (1) in an emergency, commands to the automatic guided vehicle (1) can only be communicated from the management station (4) within the station (3). (When υ is far from station (3), it becomes impossible to stop the automatic guided vehicle (1) with a stop command from station (3). [Problems to be solved by the invention] Conventional automatic guided vehicle When the above-mentioned automatic guided vehicle (13) is far from the station (3), the vehicle control device automatically stops the automatic guided vehicle (1) in response to a stop command from the station (3).
Since it is not possible to stop the station (3)
If you want to urgently stop the automatic guided vehicle (1) that is traveling at a distance, it is necessary to press the emergency stop button on the automatic guided vehicle (1), and the emergency stop operation cannot be performed remotely. The problem was that there was no
