Description

Holding tool Technical Field The present invention relates to a holding tool for holding a plurality of transport vehicles having a main body and wheels mounted on the main body. Background In recent years, in an article transport facility such as a logistics warehouse, automation of article transport is advancing. In such article conveying apparatuses, for example, a conveying vehicle (10) as disclosed in japanese patent application laid-open No. 2022-050240 is often used. The transport vehicle (10) is configured to transport articles by traveling on a floor without any person. Prior art literature Patent literature Patent document 1, japanese patent application laid-open No. 2022-050240. Disclosure of Invention Problems to be solved by the invention However, in the apparatus using the transport vehicle described in the above document, there is a possibility that the remaining transport vehicle (transport vehicle in rest) may occur during a free-running period or the like in which the operation state is stable. In this case, it is conceivable to use a part of the traveling floor as a standby area and to stand the transport vehicle in rest at the standby area, but the traveling restriction may be applied to a part of the traveling floor, which may hinder the degree of freedom of traveling of the transport vehicle in operation. Therefore, it is required to be able to remove and store the transport vehicle in the rest state from the running floor, but there is a case where a storage space for such transport vehicle cannot be sufficiently secured. Even when a storage space can be secured, it is necessary to hold each transport vehicle in storage in a stable state so that the transport vehicle having wheels does not move intentionally due to vibration or the like. In view of the above-described circumstances, it is desirable to provide a holding tool that can easily store a transport vehicle in a rest state in response to an increase or decrease in the transport vehicle in operation, and can stably hold the transport vehicle in storage. Means for solving the problems The holding tool for collectively holding a plurality of transport vehicles includes a main body and wheels attached to the main body, the holding tool includes a plurality of holding units for holding the plurality of transport vehicles, the plurality of holding units are configured to be stackable in an up-down direction, the holding unit includes a mounting table on which the plurality of transport vehicles are placed in an aligned manner, and N (N is an integer of 3 or more) support columns are attached to the mounting table so as to protrude at least downward from the mounting table, the mounting table is configured to support the main body from the lower side in a state where the wheels are lifted, the support columns of the holding units are configured to be detachable in an up-down direction with respect to the support columns of the other holding units, the plurality of holding units are stacked by connecting the support columns of the holding units with the support columns of the other holding units, and the plurality of holding units are stacked by disconnecting the support columns of the holding units from the support columns of the holding units. According to this configuration, a plurality of transport vehicles can be held by 1 holding means. Further, by stacking other holding units for the holding units, the number of conveyance vehicles that can be held can be increased. Further, by decomposing the stacked plurality of holding units, the number of conveyance vehicles that can be held can be reduced. The holding unit holds the holding member by the mounting table. The mounting table is configured to support the main body of the transport vehicle from the lower side in a state where the wheels of the transport vehicle are lifted, so that the wheels can be prevented from rolling on the mounting table, and as a result, stable holding of the transport vehicle can be realized. As described above, according to the present configuration, the transport vehicle in rest can be stored easily in response to the increase or decrease of the transport vehicle in operation, and the transport vehicle in storage can be held stably. Further, according to this configuration, since a plurality of transport vehicles can be stably held by each of the stackable holding units, the holding tool can be used appropriately even when a plurality of transport vehicles are transported. Further features and advantages of the technology of the present disclosure will become more apparent from the following description of illustrative and non-limiting embodiments, which is described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Drawings Fig. 1 is a plan view showing a first floor and a second floor of the article discriminating apparatus. Fig. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a traveling operation of the transport vehicle. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the holding tool.
