Abstract: A carrier device includes a coupling mechanism for connecting an automatic controlled vehicle to a carriage. The coupling mechanism includes a first roller assembly and a second roller assembly. The first roller assembly includes a first roller and a third roller, provided on a first common shaft. The second roller assembly includes a second roller and a fourth roller, provided on a second common shaft. The first roller and the second roller can enter a gap of the guide rail section in the automatic controlled vehicle. When the lock member moves from the first position to the second position, the lock member is sandwiched between the third roller and the fourth roller.

Abstract: A carrier device includes a coupling mechanism for coupling an automatic controlled vehicle to a carriage. The coupling mechanism includes a first shaft member, a second shaft member and a third shaft member. The coupling mechanism includes a guide rail section, a lock member, and an actuator that moves the lock member. The guide rail section is provided on the automatic controlled vehicle. When the lock member moves from the first position to the second position, the lock member enters between the first shaft member and the second shaft member. The third shaft member fits with the fitting portion of the lock member.
