PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize an article conveyance facility capable of properly traveling on a portion with a curved shape of a traveling path while suppressing installation man-hours.SOLUTION: The article conveyance facility includes a rail 2 with a traveling path 1 having at least a curved shape partially and an article conveyance vehicle 3 traveling on the rail 2 and conveying an article. The article conveyance vehicle 3 includes a guided part 17 which is brought into contact with the rail 2 and guided by the rail 2, an obstacle detection sensor 21 detecting an obstacle existing in a detection area E set in front of the article conveyance vehicle 3, and a setting part variably setting the detection area E. The setting part changes the detection area E in accordance with a contact rail shape which is a shape of the rail 2 of a portion contacted with the guided part 17.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
【課題】設置工数を抑えながら走行経路の曲線状となる部分を適切に走行できる物品搬送設備の実現。【解決手段】少なくとも一部に走行経路1が曲線状となる部分を有するレール2と、当該レール2に沿って走行して物品を搬送する物品搬送車3を備え、物品搬送車3は、レール2に接触してレール2に案内される被案内部17と、当該物品搬送車3の前方に設定した検出エリアEに存在する障害物を検出する障害物検出センサ21と、検出エリアEを可変設定する設定部と、を備え、設定部は、被案内部17が接触している部分のレール2の形状である接触レール形状に応じて検出エリアEを変更する。【選択図】図8
