    摘要: A temperature sensor device measures a temperature related to a transport cart system and wirelessly transmits the measured temperature. In the transport cart system a transport cart obtains electric power from the power supply line in a non-contact manner. The temperature sensor device includes an E-shaped core, a sensor body, and a temperature sensing substrate. The E-shaped core obtains electric power from the power supply line in a non-contact manner. The sensor body operates by electric power supplied by the E-shaped core and measures the temperature in the vicinity of the terminal block of the transport cart system. The temperature sensing substrate operates by electric power supplied by the E-shaped core and wirelessly transmits the temperature measured by the sensor body.

    摘要: In a transporting system, a first conveyor includes a transport surface to transport different size tires in a first direction. A first positioner positions an end of a tire transported by the first conveyor, at a first predetermined position in the first direction. A second positioner positions an end of the tire at a second predetermined position in a second direction horizontally perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The first and second clamping portion portions are at or adjacent to a clamping position, and pass through between a tire first portion at or adjacent to an end of the tire positioned by the first positioner and a tire second portion at or adjacent to an end of the tire positioned by the second positioner to clamp side surfaces of the tire.

    摘要: A processing device of a displacement detection device includes an AD conversion device, a switching circuit, and an arithmetic processing unit. The AD conversion device has first and second AD conversion units. The switching circuit periodically switches between a first connection mode in which a first differential signal is AD-converted by the first AD conversion unit and a second differential signal is AD-converted by the second AD conversion unit, and a second connection mode in which the first differential signal is AD-converted by the second AD conversion unit and the second differential signal is AD-converted by the first AD conversion unit. The arithmetic processing unit outputs displacement information of a scale based on an addition average value of the first differential signals output from the first and second AD conversion units and an addition average value of the second differential signals output from the first and second AD conversion units.

    摘要: An overhead transport vehicle includes a container accommodation portion sandwiched by a pair of cover portions in a front-and-rear direction in a traveling direction and configured to hold a cassette in a state in which a lid faces in a width direction intersecting the traveling direction and a vertical direction; and a lid-fall prevention member on the cover portion to prevent the lid that has come off from the cassette held in the container accommodation portion from falling. The lid-fall prevention member includes a lower support portion extending along the width direction below the cassette and partially protruding from the lid in a planar view seen from the vertical direction, and a front support portion standing upright in the vertical direction from the lower support portion so as to face at least a portion of the lid. The lower support portion and the front support portion are integrally defined by a unitary structure.
