Description of the invention (2)-The bottleneck of AMHS of chemical handling system. In addition, the design of the ‘ground-type trolley 142/144 and access port 1 3 2 is close to the ground, so that the operating space of the staff is relatively reduced and inadequate. -Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing part of another conventional OHT type automatic conveying system. The traditional OHT type automatic transfer system uses a suspension type transfer trolley to transfer materials. Among them, in accordance with the layout of Fig. 1, the storage device 15 has an access port 5 2 near the ground, and the suspension type transfer trolley 1 62 / 1 64 then travels along the track 1γ0 in the central aisle 丨 00, and has previously been between the operating aisles 110. When a suspended trolley with material 丨 62 is parked next to the storage Pei 150, the carrier 163 will be lowered to the access port 152, and the loaded material will be unloaded for the storage port 152 to be wheeled into the storage device 15 〇Internal 'At this time, another suspension trolley ready to be unloaded or loaded with materials 丨 64, can only wait on the side = the road 170 until the access of the previous transfer trolley 162 is completed, this waits for ^ and the carrier 1 The lifting time of 63 becomes the bottleneck of the automatic handling system AMHS. In addition, the design of the access port 15 2 close to the ground also makes the operating space of the staff relatively reduced and inadequate. In view of this, in order to improve the lack of the aforementioned traditional conveying system, the present invention provides an automated conveying system, which includes at least one conveying trolley, a conveying track, and a storage device having a synchronous access port. The transport track has a predetermined transport direction. The transport trolley is used to load / unload materials and travel along the transport track, and the storage device includes a storage body, a first access port and a first access port. It is located on the main body at a predetermined distance from each other. The predetermined distance in the rain is sufficient to allow the two transportation trolleys to be docked at the first, first, and access ports respectively, and according to the order of the transportation direction, the first access port

Description of the invention (5) Entering 'this' not only allows the storage device 2000 to use the first and second access bees 202/204 to simultaneously access two transport trolleys 262/264 for unloading / Cut-in material 'saves the waiting time of the transfer trolley 262, and the order of unloading / re-planting can make the transfer trolley 262/264 match the transfer direction of the transfer lane 270. In addition, 'this embodiment is applied to the OHT system, so that the positions of the first and second access ports 202/204 can be increased to a height about the same as the track 270', which can save the aforementioned conventional automatic conveying system, With 1 63 rise and fall time to the access port. The transport track 270 further includes a curve section 272, which is connected to the linear transport track 271 by the exit of the curve, and in order for the transport trolley 262 to be docked on the first access port 202, the center point is away from the exit of the curve The distance d2 should be such that the stopping point at the end of the transport trolley 2 6 2 is behind the exit of the curve, such as on a straight track 271. In addition, offsetting the first and second access 璋 202/204 from the storage device ’s lack of body 2 1 0 to a predetermined position in the center and offsetting the track 2 with a predetermined distance dl ′ can prevent the curved portion 272 from protruding from the central aisle 1 〇〇The end is outside the extension line of the outer wall of the storage device, which facilitates the layout of the compartments of the automated transfer system. In addition, 'the embodiment of the present invention can also set the storage unit 200 on the storage body near the ground to store and store 202, / 204, to carry out the manual transfer of materials', that is, the "automatic transfer system and the manual transfer system" (PGV: personal guide vehicle) can exist simultaneously without conflicting with each other. The embodiment of the present invention can also be applied to the A G V system.

Therefore, the average time required for each transfer of each vehicle is approximately (4 * 60 * 60/1 32 = 109.2) seconds, and the access required for each load / unload Time is about 20 seconds. If the storage device of this embodiment is used, since the first: the access port can be used by two trolleys at the same time, each transfer can save 20 seconds of access time required for loading / unloading. In addition, Because the position of the first and the first access port is increased to be equivalent to the track height, the time for one lift of the vehicle can be reduced to about 10 seconds. In this way, the average time required for each transfer is approximately ( 4 * 60 * 60/1 32 = 1 () 9.2) seconds of the situation 0 death, the next 'about 30 seconds can be saved' that is about 27% (30/1 0 9. 2) improvement effect.
