By providing guide wheels that run on the open end faces of the track grooves opposite to each other, the moving body moves along the grooves provided in the track. However, the guide wheels run in the open end faces of the grooves of the track to prevent swinging to the left and right. There is no hindrance. In addition, since the guide wheel guides the traveling direction while rotating, the direction can be easily changed at a corner or the like.

[0007]

Embodiment 1 The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the inside of a barn. A cow bed 2 is provided with a passage 1 therebetween, and stalls 3 are arranged in parallel on the cow bed 2 so that the cows are moored in two horizontal rows. A straight main track A is provided by a rail 4 in which an angle member is linearly symmetrically formed at a predetermined height (uniform) in the center of the passage 1 so as to form guide grooves 5 at predetermined intervals in line symmetry. A sub-track B is provided from A to a cow bed in a direction perpendicular to the cow bed through a cross, T-shaped or L-shaped corner.

Next, FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 are views showing an embodiment of the moving body 10 of the present invention.
0 shows a perspective view of the embodiment of FIG. 3 is a diagram viewed from the traveling direction, that is, the direction C in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the traveling direction and the lateral direction, that is, a diagram viewed from the direction D in FIG. It is a partial sectional view.

In FIG. 2 to FIG.
The traveling wheel axle 12 is attached to the front half of the vehicle 1 at two front and rear positions. On both sides of the traveling wheel shaft 12, a total of four rubber traveling wheels 13 are rotatably mounted on the traveling wheel shaft 12 by rotating bearings (not shown) or the like.

A projecting portion 14 is provided at the upper end in the longitudinal direction of the frame 11. A guide ring shaft 15 composed of a small-diameter rod is welded to each protrusion 14 in the vertical direction. A guide ring 16 having an inner diameter larger than that of the guide ring shaft 15 is loosely engaged with the guide ring shaft 15. A screw portion is provided at the tip of the shaft, and the nut 17 is fastened so as not to easily come off, thereby preventing the guide ring from dropping and allowing the guide ring to rotate freely.

The lower half of the frame 11 is bent in a key shape with a lower surface having a substantially horizontal surface E, and a hook 11 penetrates a hole formed in the lower surface E, and is rotated in the horizontal direction. Mounted freely. At this time, the frame 11 or the guide ring shaft 15, the hook 18 attaching portion, the hook 1

Have difficulty. According to the moving body 10 of the present embodiment, when the traveling direction is deviated from the center of the track, the guide ring 16 contacts the inner surface of the guide groove 5 to maintain the center of the track. Moving. Furthermore, even when the direction is changed at a corner or the like, the guide ring 16 moves while rotating along the rail 4, so that the direction can be changed without resistance and wear is reduced.

Further, according to the present embodiment, since the guide ring 16 is provided in the front and rear directions in the traveling direction, it can be freely moved in the front and rear directions, and the effect in the front and rear directions is the same.

When the direction is changed by being guided by the guide ring 16, the wheel 13 slightly slides in the lateral direction. Since this sliding is rotating and slight,
The force required to change the direction is small and the wheels 13
Wear is slight.

According to the above embodiment, the moving body 10 is constituted by the frame 11 having the wheels 13 attached to the side surfaces.
A similar effect can be obtained by a method of moving a cylindrical sliding body made of a synthetic resin with a milking device suspended in a track (Japanese Patent No. 2516155).
