Abstract:
1. A transfer device for transferring a transfer target object comprising: a support member, which is movable forward and backward, for supporting the transfer target object; a sensor for detecting that a tip of the support member comes into contact with an obstacle when the support member moves forward, wherein the sensor includes a first conductive ring having flexibility, which is provided at the tip of the support member in a grounded state; a second conductive ring provided inside the first conductive ring and separated from the first conductive ring; and a detector for detecting that the first conductive ring and the second conductive ring are short-circuited when the first conductive ring comes into contact with the second conductive ring by being deformed due to contact with the obstacle; a base having a protrusion and fixed to the tip of the support member; an insulating member for maintaining a state where the first conductive ring is insulated and separated from the second conductive ring; and a detection terminal having one end connected to the detector, wherein an electrical contact terminal is provided at an upper portion of the second conductive ring to extend outwardly, wherein the first conductive ring and the second conductive ring are attached to the tip of the support member in a state where a part of a side surface of the first conductive ring is interposed between the protrusion of the base and the insulating member, and the electrical contact terminal is placed on an upper surface of the insulating member while a side surface of the second conductive ring is in contact with the insulating member, and wherein the other end of the detection terminal is in contact with the electrical contact terminal.
