In the figure, (U ₁ ) to (U ₃ ) are vehicles, and these vehicles (U ₁ ) to (U ₃ ) are equipped with electromagnets fed from the trolley wire, and each magnetic belt is steadily installed. It is attracted to a magnetic belt that revolves at a predetermined speed set in the conveyor unit, and is pulled and moved. Here, the vehicle (U ₁ ) is being fed from the section between the sections (A ₂ ) and (A ₃₁ ) of the main line side trolley wire (MT) and is proceeding to the left in the figure, and the vehicle ( U ₂ ) is the distinction between the sections (A ₅₂ ) and (A ₆₂ ) of the side trolley wire (ST), and the vehicle (U ₃ ) is the section (A ₆₁ ) and (( ₆₁ ) of the main trolley wire (MT). It is assumed that power is being supplied from each of the sections between A ₇ ) and _A7 ) and that it is also proceeding to the left.

Next, the operation of the system having the above configuration will be described.

In the state shown in the figure, the vehicle (U ₁ ) is the main line side trolley wire (MT)
Since the current is being collected from the vehicle, the load current of the vehicle flows through the current relay (I ₂ ), and the normally closed contacts (S ₂ ) (S ′ ₂ ) (s ₀₁ ) are all opened. Here, if the switch (10) is completely locked on the side line side, for example, from the power supply line (MPC) to the contacts of the current relays (i ₁₁ ) (i ₁₂ ) and the lock detector (P ₁₂ ), Although a current flows through the vehicle (U ₁ ) through the branch connecting side section of the switch trolley wire (10) attached to the trolley wire and the main trolley wire (MT), the current relay (i ₁₁ ) operates, Assuming now that the switch (10) has started the switch from the side line side to the main line side as indicated by the arrow in the figure, the switch (10) starts when the switch starts.
The connecting contact wire does not contact the contact point of the lateral line side of the locking detector main side of the locking detector immediately be apart from _{(P 12) (P 13)} , to the vehicle (U ₁₎ of The power supply circuit is opened, the current relay (i ₁₁ ) is de-energized, its normally open contact (s ₁₁ ) is opened, and the magnetic belt conveyor unit (B ₂ ) is disconnected from the distribution line (BPC). Therefore, the rotation is stopped. As a result, the magnetic belt conveyor unit (B ₂ ) slows or stops the orbital speed of the magnetic belt with the built-in brake. The vehicle (U ₁ ) is also stopped by stopping the magnetic belt conveyor unit (B ₂ ). Therefore, by setting the distance from the section (A ₂ ) to the branch in consideration of deceleration and the like, the vehicle (U ₁ ) can be reliably stopped before the branch switch (10). By doing so, when the vehicle (U ₁ ) crosses the section (A ₂ ) and enters, even if the electric switching device (MS ₁ ) is in the switching operation, at least the vehicle (U ₁ ) is switched. It can be stopped before (10).

Next, when the transfer to the main line side is completed and the switch (10) is locked, the lock detector (P ₁₃ ) operates. That is, the connecting trolley wire of the switch (10) is connected to the main wire side trolley wire (MT), and the current relay (i ₁₃ ) is connected via the contact of the lock detector (P ₁₃ ) and the connecting trolley wire. Main line side trolley wire (M
Connected to the vehicle (U ₁ ) via the power relay (MPC), the current relay (i ₁₁ ) (i ₁₃ ), the lock detector (P ₁₃ ) and the main line side trolley wire (MT). The current flows in. As a result, the current relay (i ₁₁ ) is operated, so that the normally open contact (s ₁₁ ) is closed and the normally closed contact (s ₁₀ ) is opened, and the switching is performed by the operation of the current relay (i ₁₃ ). The contact is switched to the (s ₁₃ ) side. As a result, the magnetic belt conveyor unit (B ₂ ) receives electric power and starts rotating, so the vehicle (U ₁ ) is restarted and accelerated, and the electric switching device (MS ₁ ) moves in the opposite direction at the next switching, that is, , It is set so that it rolls to the side line side, and the electric switching device (MS ₁ ) stays open until the vehicle (U ₁ ) leaves the section (A ₃₁ ) by opening the normally closed contact (s ₁₀ ). It is interlocked so that it will not move the next time. In this state, when the vehicle (U ₁ ) exists in the branch section, that is, the section (A ₂ ) to (A ₃₁ ) section, current flows in the current relay (I ₂ ), so that the normally closed contact (S ′ ₂ ) is opened. another is, since conjunction with normally closed contact therewith (s ₀₁₎ is opened, the normally open contacts giving Utatetetsu command signal from the control line (TSC) to the relay (R ₁₎ (S ₁₎ in the closed Even if the lock release device is formed, the power supply circuit of the unlocking device (W ₁₂ , W ₁₃ ) is not formed, and therefore the switching operation is not performed.

Although no current flows through the current relay (i ₁₁₎ in the case of the vehicle in this embodiment (U ₁₎ is not in the branch section, which is an electric Utatetetsu device by providing a separate control unit (MS ₁ It is also possible to control the turning direction and the starting / stopping thereof, and the control means therefor is not directly related to the present invention, and therefore its details are omitted here.

Next, when the vehicle (U ₁ ) exits the section (A ₂ ) to (A ₃₁ ) section and gives a switch command signal to the relay (R ₁ ), the current relay (I ₂ ) (i ₁₁ ) its normally closed contact _{(S '2, s 01,} s 10) since no current flows locking of being closed, thus locking the releasing device (W ₁₃₎ was actuated switch with (10) Is released, and the switch is started by the operation of the electric switch device (MS ₁ ). When the transfer to the lateral line side is completed, the lock detector (P ₁₂ ) operates in the same manner as in the above case.

The above description of the operation is for the case of branch control, but next, the case where the vehicle (U ₂ ) is on the side of the side line and joins on the side of the main line will be described.

Assuming that the switch (20) is switched to the main line (MT) side and the vehicle (U ₃ ) is in the section (A ₆₁ ) to (A ₇ ) section, the switch command is given. Even if the relay (R ₂ ) is given and the normally open contact (s ₂ ) is closed, the rolling operation will not start. That is, in this case, since the current is flowing through the current relay (i ₂₀ ), the normally closed contact (s ₂₀ ) is opened, the electric switching device (MS ₂ ) is not activated, and the current relay ( I ₆₁ )
Since a current is also flowing through it, its normally closed contact (s ₆₁ ) is also open, and the lock release device (W ₂₃ ) does not release. When the preceding vehicle is present in the merging section in this way, the rolling operation is not started. On the side wire side, the lock detector (P ₂₂ ) is not operating, so no current flows through the current relay (i ₂₄ ), and its normally open contact (s ₂₄ ) is open.
Therefore, when the vehicle (U ₂ ) enters beyond the section (A ₆₂ ), a current flows through the current relay (I ₆₂ ) and its normally closed contact (S ′ ₆₂ ) is opened, so that the magnetic belt conveyor unit ( B ₆₂ ) is not supplied with electric power and is in a braking state to decelerate and stop the vehicle (U ₂ ). In this case, the vehicle (U ₃ ) moves to the section (A ₆₁ ) through the state in which the switch command signal is given to the relay (R ₂ ) to close its normally open contact (s ₂ ).
After exiting the section (A ₇ ), no current flows in the current relay (I ₆₁ ), and its normally closed contact (S ′ ₆₁ ) (s ₆₁ ) is closed, so the lock release device (W ₂₃ ) Is activated to unlock the lock, the excitation of the current relay (i ₂₀ ) is cut off, and the normally closed contact (s ₂₀ ) is closed. As a result, the switching operation of the electric switching device (MS ₂ ) is started.

When the switch to the lateral line side is completed and the switch (20) is locked, the lock detector (P ₂₂ ) detects this. When the lock detector (P ₂₂ ) operates, current flows through the current relay (i ₂₄ ) and the normally open contact (s ₂₄ ) is closed. As a result, the magnetic belt conveyor unit (B ₆₂ ) is supplied with electric power and restarted, and the vehicle (U ₂ ) is also restarted and accelerated to join the main line side.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described above, in the branching and merging control device for a magnet type continuous transportation apparatus according to the present invention, a vehicle enters during a turning in a branching section including a branching point or a merging section including a merging point. If the vehicle is stopped, the vehicle is automatically stopped, and it is configured so that the next rolling operation is not performed until the vehicle exits from the branching or merging section. High course control is possible. Therefore, safe operation of the vehicle can be achieved without arranging signal operation personnel and drivers.
It can contribute to labor saving.
