    摘要: An overhead transport vehicle includes a lifter to be raised and lowered by a plurality of suspensions on left and right sides. The lifter includes a base portion, a left support and a right support attached to lower ends of the suspensions and each supporting the base portion via an elastic body, and a left arm and a right that are respectively bridged between the left support and the base portion and between the right support and the base portion, and each including a first end attached to each of the left support and the right support via a first rotation shaft and a second end attached to the base portion via a second rotation shaft.

    摘要: An overhead rail system includes a hollow tube having a channel running longitudinally along a bottom surface of the overhead rail. A stopper for use in the overhead rail, includes a base having a thickness less than a width of the channel of the overhead rail, a base length, a base width, and first and second countersunk threaded holes. The base further includes a pair of wings having a length greater than a width. The wings are rotatably attached to ends of the base and are rotatable approximately 90 degrees between a first position and a second position. Bolts may attach a stopper portion including a stopper base, and bumper base, and a bumper. The bolts further prevent rotation of the wings, thus securing the stopper in the overhead rail.

    摘要: An overhead transport vehicle includes an elevator including a base and a first support supporting the base to be vertically movable from below in a vertical direction through a vibration isolator. The vibration isolator includes a first biasing portion in contact with both of the support and the base to urge a first body and the base in a direction away from each other, and a second biasing portion at one of the first body and the base to come into contact with both of the first body and the base and urge the first body and the base in a direction away from each other when a load equal to or greater than a predetermined value is applied to the first biasing portion.

    摘要: The object is to provide a vehicle system capable of suppressing a decrease in article transport efficiency while ensuring a route of an operator. The vehicle system includes a grid-patterned rail, a vehicle traveling on the rail, a controller that controls the vehicle, a work terminal that transmits identification information indicating an actual location to the controller, and a scaffold for allowing an operator carrying the work terminal to walk below the rail, the scaffold being provided below the rail. If entry permission to one or more cells formed by the rail is obtained from the controller, the vehicle enters the one or more cells. If entry permission to the one or more cells is not obtained from the controller, the vehicle does not enter the one or more cells. The controller performs blocking so as not to grant the vehicle the entry permission at least to a cell corresponding to the actual location indicated by the identification information transmitted from the work terminal, among a plurality of cells corresponding to a route of the operator from the entrance to the scaffold to the destination.
