Abstract

According to one embodiment, a moving body includes an electrical component, a base frame that includes caster portions provided to be runnable on a floor surface, and is formed such that a front side is narrower than a rear side along a front-rear direction, the rear side is opened, and thus another moving body is insertable from the rear side, and a battery case that accommodates a battery supplying power to the electrical component and has an opening and closing lid opening rearward. A restricting member is provided inside the base frame and restricts a position of the other moving body inserted from the rear side to a position where the opening and closing lid opens at least to an angle at which the battery in the battery case is replaceable.

Claims (52)

1. A moving body including an electrical component, the moving body comprising:

a base frame comprising caster portions runnable on a floor surface, wherein a front side is narrower than a rear side along a front-rear direction, the rear side is openable, so that another moving body is insertable therein from the rear side;

a battery case that accommodates a battery supplying power to the electrical component and includes an opening and closing lid opening rearward; and

a restricting member positioned inside the base frame and restricts a position of the another moving body inserted from the rear side to a position where the opening and closing lid opens at least to an angle at which the battery in the battery case is replaceable without moving the another moving body when fully inserted into the moving body from the rear side.

2. The moving body according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a vertical frame positioned upward from a rear end of the base frame;

a lower mounting portion positioned on the base frame and configured for mounting a commodity; and

an upper mounting portion positioned on a front side of the vertical frame and configured for mounting a commodity.

3. The moving body according to claim 2 , wherein

the battery case is provided above the lower mounting portion with respect to the floor surface, and below the upper mounting portion or above the upper mounting portion.

4. The moving body according to claim 3 , wherein

the battery case is attached to the vertical frame.

5. The moving body according to claim 1 , wherein

the opening and closing lid is configured to close and lock with a lock mechanism and unlocked by a key.

6. The moving body according to claim 1 , wherein

the battery case or the opening and closing lid is provided with an energizing member for energizing the opening and closing lid in an opening direction.

7. The moving body according to claim 1 , wherein

the electrical component is a commodity identification device or a display device for identifying a commodity.

8. A moving body including an electrical component, the moving body comprising:

a base frame comprising caster portions runnable on a floor surface, wherein a front side is narrower than a rear side along a front-rear direction and the rear side is openable, wherein the front side is insertable into a rear side of another identical moving body;

a vertical frame positioned upward from a rear end of the base frame;

a battery case that accommodates a battery supplying power to the electrical component and includes an opening and closing lid opening rearward; and

a restricting member positioned forward of the vertical frame and restricts a position of the moving body to a position where an opening and closing lid of a battery case of the another moving body opens to an angle at which the is replaceable without moving the at which a battery moving body when fully inserted into the another moving body at the front of the moving body.

9. The moving body according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a lower mounting portion positioned on the base frame and configured for mounting a commodity; and

an upper mounting portion positioned on a front side of the vertical frame and configured for mounting a commodity.

10. The moving body according to claim 9 , wherein

the battery case is provided above the lower mounting portion with respect to the floor surface, and below the upper mounting portion or above the upper mounting portion.

11. The moving body according to claim 10 , wherein

the battery case is attached to the vertical frame.

12. The moving body according to claim 8 , wherein

the opening and closing lid is configured to close and lock with a lock mechanism and unlocked by a key.

13. The moving body according to claim 8 , wherein

the battery case or the opening and closing lid is provided with an energizing member for energizing the opening and closing lid in an opening direction.

14. The moving body according to claim 8 , wherein

the electrical component is a commodity identification device or a display device for identifying a commodity.

15. A shopping cart including an electrical component for processing a commodity, comprising:

a base frame comprising caster portions runnable on a floor surface, wherein a front side is narrower than a rear side along a front-rear direction, the rear side is openable, so that another shopping cart is insertable therein from the rear side;

a battery case that accommodates a battery supplying power to the electrical component and includes an opening and closing lid opening rearward; and

a restricting member positioned inside the base frame and restricts a position of the another shopping cart inserted from the rear side to a position where the opening and closing lid opens at least to an angle at which the battery in the battery case is replaceable without moving the another shopping cart when fully inserted into the shopping cart from the rear side.

16. The shopping cart according to claim 15 , further comprising:

a vertical frame positioned upward from a rear end of the base frame;

a lower mounting portion positioned on the base frame and configured for mounting a commodity; and

an upper mounting portion positioned on a front side of the vertical frame and configured for mounting a commodity.

17. The shopping cart according to claim 16 , wherein

the battery case is provided above the lower mounting portion with respect to the floor surface, and below the upper mounting portion or above the upper mounting portion.

18. The shopping cart according to claim 17 , wherein

the battery case is attached to the vertical frame.

19. The shopping cart according to claim 15 , wherein

the opening and closing lid is configured to close and lock with a lock mechanism and unlocked by a key.

20. The shopping cart according to claim 15 , wherein

the battery case or the opening and closing lid is provided with an energizing member for energizing the opening and closing lid in an opening direction.
