Definitions

  • the present invention has been made in view of the situations described above, and an object thereof is to provide a track device and a running body with which running body tracks can easily be changed.
  • a running body including a wheel configured to run on a running path of a track member while being guided, a traveling path switching portion configured to be brought into engagement with a traveling path guide portion disposed along the running path which follows a different direction from an inertial direction of running at a switching section where the running path is switched in multiple directions, and a control unit configured to cause the traveling path switching portion to be brought into engagement with or disengaged from the traveling path guide portion at the switching section to thereby determine whether or not a running direction is guided along the traveling path guide portion.
  • the track device and the running body can be provided with which the running body tracks can easily be changed.
  • the inner land portions 461 and the endwise disposed island portions 464, 465 are formed lower than the side walls 45 (or the endwise disposed land portions 462, 463) and substantially at the same height as that of the inner walls 34 of the single-line track member 3 shown in FIG. 2 (also refer to FIGS. 4A and 4B ).
  • traveling path guide portion 42 which corresponds to the running paths 41c, is provided transversely inwards of or between the two running paths 41c on which the pairs of left and right wheels 611, 612, 621, 631 of the running body 6 pass.
  • control unit 632a repeats the operations in Step S06 and Step S08 until the designated station is detected while keeping the running body 6 running, and if the elapsing time exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the control unit 632a determines that there is no designated station within the track (within the first track 2A on which the running body 6 is currently running or the second track 2B) (S08, NO), and then, the control unit 632a proceeds to an operation in Step S09. Alternatively, if none of the identifiers 35B to 35D which corresponds to the designated station is detected while the identifier 35G is detected twice while causing the running body 6 to circulate the first track 2A or the second track 2B shown in FIG.
