Position control device and position control method of stevedoring apparatus in industrial vehicle
First Claim
1. A position control apparatus for a cargo carrying apparatus on an industrial vehicle, comprising:
- a camera for picking up an image of a mark provided on a cargo handling target to acquire data of the image;
image processing means for processing said image data and detecting a position of said mark;
target position determining means for determining a target position to which said cargo carrying apparatus is to be shifted;
deviation amount calculating means for computing a deviation amount of a current position of said cargo carrying apparatus with respect to said target position based on a result of processing said image data by said image processing means;
moving means for moving said cargo carrying apparatus; and
control means for executing a positioning control to position said cargo carrying apparatus with respect to said target position and causing said moving means to move said cargo carrying apparatus in such a way as to eliminate said deviation amount.

Abstract
A camera 19 picks up an image of a cargo handling target and acquires image data of a mark affixed to the cargo handling target. An image processing section 66 performs image recognition of the mark and acquires the position and size of the mark in a screen coordinate system. A real coordinate position calculating section 77 acquires the position of the camera 19 in a real coordinate system based on the obtained position and size of the mark. Based on the position of the camera 19, a deviation amount calculating section 78 acquires a deviation amount between the current position of forks and a target position. A cargo handling control section 50 executes automatic positioning control of the forks in such a way that the deviation amount becomes zero.
