Abstract:
1. A connection structure of a linear motor type transport device, comprising: a first linear motor type transport device including a first base part, and a first rail part disposed on a top surface of the first base part, and having a first end face for connection; a second linear motor type transport device including a second base part, and a second rail part disposed on a top surface of the second base part, and having a second end face to be butt-connected to the first end face; a notch concave part including a first concave part and a second concave part included in top surfaces of an end on the first end face side of the first base part and an end on the second end face side of the second base part, respectively, with the first concave part and the second concave part being connected to each other, and the notch concave part being configured to have a larger width than each width of the first and second rail parts; a reference positioning part serving as a reference position of each of lower edges on one side, in the width direction, of the first and second rail parts; a bottom surface support part disposed in the notch concave part, and set between a bottom surface of the notch concave part and bottom surfaces of the first and second rail parts; and a pressing member interposed between a wall part of the notch concave part and lower edges on the other side of the first and second rail parts, and urging the lower edges on the other side of the first and second rail parts toward the reference positioning part, and thereby linearly fixing the first and second linear motor type transport devices to be connected.
