Patent number: 11904915Abstract: An article transport vehicle that travels along a traveling path is provided with an obstacle sensor that detects an obstacle that exists in a detection area, and a control unit that controls the traveling speed of the article transport vehicle based on detection information of the obstacle sensor. A non-detection area where detection of the obstacle by the obstacle sensor is not performed is set within the detectable area of the obstacle sensor, and a situation in which the non-detection area exists on a detection line that joins a part of the detection area and the obstacle sensor is defined as a specific situation. The control unit, in the specific situation, and a situation where an undetectable area in which it is not possible to detect the obstacle exists in the detection area because a shield exists in the non-detection area, reduces the speed of the article transport vehicle to a second traveling speed slower than the first traveling speed.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Daifuku Co., Ltd.Inventor: Takafumi Yamazaki

Patent number: 10619407Abstract: A sliding fire door is disclosed with an improved tightness of the closure by the door main body. The sliding fire door includes an opening frame, a fire door, and a guiding mechanism. The guiding mechanism includes a guide roller group which includes a plurality of guide rollers arranged one adjacent to another along the slide direction and which is configured to guide the door main body. The guiding mechanism is configured to guide the door main body such that the door main body is moved from an opening position to a closing position. The door main body has a first opposing surface which is oriented toward the wall. The opening frame has a second opposing surface which is oriented toward the first opposing surface of the door main body in the closing position. The guiding mechanism moves the door main body to cause the first opposing surface to be moved closer to the second opposing surface when the door main body is moved from the opening position to the closing position.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2018Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Daifuku Co., Ltd.Inventors: Naoki Kawabe, Nobuo Ogawa, Yoshihiro Hosaka, Takafumi Yamazaki

Patent number: 10125530Abstract: A power window device includes a driving unit which moves a plurality of window glasses of a vehicle respectively, an operation unit which has a plurality of switches corresponding to the plurality of window glasses and which is provided for driving the driving unit, and a control unit which controls the driving unit to move and open or close the window glasses in accordance with an operation on the operation unit. When a normal operation for operating any one of the plurality of window switches individually is performed, the control unit controls the driving unit to move only the window glass corresponding to the operated window switch. When a special operation which is different from the normal operation is performed on the window switches, the control unit controls the driving unit to move all the window glasses.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignees: MITSUBISHI JIDOSHA KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA, MITSUBISHI JIDOSHA ENGINEERING KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yoko Ikura, Eiji Sato, Kazuhiko Matsuba, Takafumi Yamazaki, Wataru Akatsuka
