Publication number: 20240051752Abstract: A bucket management system 1 comprises: chutes 2 and 3 that have loading areas I1 and I4 and take-out areas O1 and O4 facing each other along a conveying direction F and convey buckets loaded to the loading area along the conveying direction F in storage areas S1 and S4 between the loading areas and the take-out areas; and a loading position indicating device 5 that indicates a loading position P for a bucket to be loaded along the width direction in the loading area. A plurality of bucket rows configured by stacking a plurality of buckets along the conveying direction F can be arranged in the storage areas. The loading position indicating device 5 indicates a loading position P on the basis of the lot number allocated to a bucket to be loaded and the arrangement information of the buckets in the storage areas.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2021Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Takashi OKADA, Daisuke HASHIMOTO, Shinji TANINO, Nozomu SAIBARA, Souphatsone THEPPHOUMY, Saeko KOMATSU, Hiroaki NOMOTO, Atsushi ITO, Katsuyoshi TSUTSUMIDA, Kenji TATSUDA, Gentoku FUJII, Hiroshi HOSHINO

Patent number: 10017219Abstract: The platform truck apparatus is provided with: a narrow platform truck for transporting a car body; a left sub-platform truck, which is attached along the left side of the narrow platform truck and is pulled by the narrow platform truck; a left parts shelf carried on the left sub-platform truck; a right sub-platform truck, which is attached along the right side of the narrow platform truck and is pulled by the narrow platform truck; and a right parts shelf carried on the right sub-platform truck. Because the left sub-platform truck is moved backward relative to the narrow platform truck when a car body is loaded onto the narrow platform truck, the left parts shelf does not interfere with the loading of the car body.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2014Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Nobuhiro Kozasa, Hidetoshi Takahashi, Katsuyoshi Tsutsumida, Katsutoshi Ebana, Tomonori Iwasaki, Gentoku Fujii

Patent number: 9586297Abstract: A vehicle body component mounting system is provided with, along a conveyance path for a vehicle body, an upstream component mounting work area using a cell production system, a central component mounting work area in which the vehicle body is conveyed by an overhead conveyor, and a downstream component mounting work area using the cell production system in this order. Components other than principal components are mounted to the vehicle body using the cell production system. The cell production system is adaptable by increasing the number of component boxes, and thus an increase in the length of the line is prevented. The increase in the length of the line is prevented by using a line production system as a base and also using the cell production system as a part thereof.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2013Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Nobuhiro Kozasa, Katsuyoshi Tsutsumida, Hidetoshi Takahashi, Tomonori Iwasaki, Katsutoshi Ebana, Gentoku Fujii, Yoshiki Asano, Yoshio Nagasawa, Kenji Tatsuda, Hitoshi Suzukawa, Koichi Sano, Mamoru Miyamura, Kunihiko Oba, Yuji Kawamura, Tadao Kurosawa, Yohei Yamada

Patent number: 9227786Abstract: A part mounting facility is provided with substantially U-shaped conveyance paths having return bends, and the substantially U-shaped conveyance paths are formed by providing conveyance paths, which are in part mounting work regions, with the return bends. The substantially U-shaped conveyance paths are connected to each other, and the upstream-most substantially U-shaped conveyance path among the connected substantially U-shaped conveyance paths is connected to the downstream-most substantially U-shaped conveyance path to enable a workpiece conveyance dolly to circulate along the conveyance paths.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2012Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Nobuhiro Kozasa, Katsuyoshi Tsutsumida, Hidetoshi Takahashi, Daisuke Hashimoto, Tomohiro Sugimoto, Koichi Sano
