RUNAWAY BUFFERING DEVICE FOR MOVING CART IN AUTOMATIC WAREHOUSE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To exactly stop a runaway cart.;SOLUTION: A stay member 31 adaptable to the stages of respective rails 4 is stretchably fixed to end frames 17 for supporting the end parts of the multistage rails 4, and buffering members 34 made of plastically deformable raw material are symmetrically fitted to the member 31 to fix an abutting member 33 to the members 34. A moving cart 5 can be exactly stopped without a rebound due to the reaction to collision, because of the absorption of the movement energy of a moving cart 5 by the plastic deformation of buffering members 34.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2000,JPO
