Title:
GUIDE VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH0561542
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To avoid fixing a transfer route by controlling the driving device and the manipulation actuator of a vehicle with use of a controller which is controlled by the output signals received from a homing device and a distance meter. CONSTITUTION:A homing device 1 detects an error between the right and left directions of a preceding traveling object, and a distance meter 2 detects an error between the front and back directions of the preceding object respectively. The front-back reference distance is set according to the size and the application purpose of each vehicle. A controller 3 calculates the correction value of both direction and distance based on the signals outputted from the device 1 and the meter 2. Then the controller 3 starts a manipulation actuator 7 to the direction and steers the rear wheels and also controls an electric motor 5 and an electromagnetic clutch/brake 6 of a driving device 4 to keep a proper distance. In such a constitution, the transfer route is not fixed for the vehicle. Thus the man power can be reduced and the flexible performance can be improved.
