Title:
CARRIER TYPE CONVEYING APPARATUS AND CONVEYING CARRIER CONNECTION SYSTEM OF THE CONVEYING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/043372
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A carrier type conveying apparatus capable of solving a problem in a conventional conveying apparatus wherein a conveying carriers (1) stop abnormally, comprising a rear-pushing traveling district (3) having, at its inlet, a rear-pushing drive means (5A) propelling the conveying carriers (1) at a constant speed and, at its outlet, a braking drive means (5B) for sending out the conveying carriers (1) at the constant speed and a high-speed traveling district (4). The conveying apparatus comprises carrier connection systems (carrier connection means (9), connection start means (10), connection release means (11)). When the conveying carriers (1) travel in the high-speed traveling district (4), the connection of the conveying carriers (1) adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction by the carrier connection systems is disabled. Only when the conveying carriers (1) travel in the rear-pushing traveling district (3), the conveying carriers (1) in the longitudinal direction are connected to each other by the carrier connection system to prevent the conveying carriers (1) in contact with each other at their end parts from being separated a specified distance or longer from each other.
