Description

The Invention relates to a device for parking motor vehicles, with a between a loading station and a removal station acting conveyor and multiple parking spaces, wherein the parking spaces are arranged in a matrix, with movable in transverse and longitudinal direction and for parking serving pallets and at least one Freiplatz - without conveyor pallet - zum Method of conveying pallets, wherein the conveyor by modularly stackable in the longitudinal and transverse directions Conveyor modules is constructed, which is a longitudinal conveyor unit, a Transverse conveyor unit and possibly comprise a lifting drive, wherein for controlling the movement and management of the conveyor pallets an electronic computer, preferably in the form of a PC, is provided, and wherein the PC is equipped with software is that, according to a mathematical algorithm, each of the conveyor pallets either by the shortest route or under consideration time specifications from any position to the task / removal station and vice versa.

devices for parking motor vehicles are in a variety of embodiments known from practice. In addition to conventional parking garages With and without goods lift for the motor vehicles there are Hubgaragen with two parking spaces arranged one above the other and also parking areas with exclusively linear movable parking spaces. The previously operated altogether technical effort usually aims at a given area best to use for parking motor vehicles.

From the DE 27 17 213 A1 is a generic device known. In the known device, the parking spaces are arranged like a matrix and occupied with movable in transverse and longitudinal direction and among other things also serves for parking conveyor pallets. The provision of at least one free space creates the opportunity to move the conveyor pallets in the longitudinal and transverse directions, wherein on the one hand the longitudinal conveyor unit and on the other hand the cross conveyor unit of a conveyor module is assigned a separate drive. Ultimately, the cross conveyor unit and the longitudinal conveyor unit work completely independently.

The from the DE 27 17 213 A1 known device has a control system for moving the conveyor pallets, where it can push any conveyor pallet in a position that brings them in front of the loading and Ausfahrplatz. For this purpose, it is necessary that the row in which the free space is located, is shifted laterally so that the free space is in the desired direction of displacement of the conveyor pallet to be moved. The conveyor pallet to be moved can then be moved by one field in the desired direction, whereupon the free space is behind the shifted conveyor pallet. The space is refilled by moving the row laterally behind the conveyor pallet to be moved. By further shifting, it is achieved that the free space again reaches the conveyor pallet to be shifted. This process is repeated until the desired conveyor pallet has reached the loading and Ausfahrplatz.

The DE 42 18 487 A1 discloses a very specially designed park range or conveyor pallet. Also, this park range can be moved longitudinally and transversely, namely by means of a extending through the base plate transport cross with a longitudinal beam and a crossbar. The transport system itself is not shown there, with longitudinal and transverse transport chains drag the conveyor pallets in the longitudinal or transverse direction. In any case, it is also to be assumed there that the transport chain responsible for the longitudinal direction has its own drive, which has nothing to do with the drive of the transport chain for the transverse direction.

From the DE 38 23 728 C2 is a parking garage with a conveyor pallet comprehensive conveyor known. Here too, longitudinal conveyor units and transverse conveyor units are provided, which are acted upon by different drives.

From the DE 38 19 710 A1 For example, a parking system and method for automatic parking of motor vehicles is known. For example, the parking duration can be preprogrammed there via an electronic control system, whereby optimization of the paths does not take place. Rather, certain rows of conveyor modules are occupied to a certain degree in order to achieve a reduction of the return times. Minimum throughput times and short waiting times when picking up a vehicle are achieved by optimized occupancy of the parking spaces and by programming the pickup times.

The DE 35 05 200 A1 discloses a driving device for parking facilities for motor vehicles. There conveyor pallets are mounted on stationary rollers, each drivable role identifies its own drive motor.

The known devices have per parking space or conveyor module a conventional control cabinet with control elements, the cabinets are regularly arranged centrally. The space required for the control cabinets is enormous. In addition, there is regularly a mapping problem, which is particularly in De effects in the delivery module adversely affects, namely time-consuming in terms of repair or maintenance.

Of the The present invention is therefore based on the object, a device for parking motor vehicles of the type in question here in such a way to design and develop that in particular the control elements space-saving accommodated and in relation to the respective parking space or the respective delivery module clearly and thus easy to use or maintain.

The inventive device solves the above Task by the features of claim 1. Thereafter, the initially mentioned device designed such that decentralized control units are provided and that each conveyor module has its own Assigned control unit that communicates with the computer.

According to the invention it has been recognized that one can expect from a central arrangement of control cabinets, from the provision of control cabinets altogether, refrain can, namely, when decentralized control units immediately at the parking spaces or in the conveyor modules are provided. Each conveyor module is thus its own Assigned control unit that communicates with the computer. The Control unit is running as a kind of black box and leaves exchange directly on the conveyor module. A fastest possible Repair / maintenance is possible.

The Control units advantageously comprise identification features and possibly location coordinates of the respective conveyor module. Also communicate the control units with the conveyor pallets.

In more advantageously, the control units communicate via Cable, preferably via a data line, with the computer and possibly with the conveyor pallets. In particularly advantageous Way the control units communicate via radio or over WLAN, preferably over the Internet, with the computer and possibly with the conveyor pallets.

each Conveyor module or a selection of conveyor modules may comprise a Rollenhubtisch, namely at the respective Module a shift in height or in the room inside to be able to make. More about that later executed.

Around the conveyor pallets in the transverse and longitudinal direction to be able to proceed, the parking spaces have at least a free place, d. H. a grid, which does not have a conveyor pallet is occupied. Let into this free space or into this grid The adjacent conveyor pallets move, creating a Total displacement of the conveyor pallets possible is. In this way - by moving one or more Pallets - can be any conveyor pallet from an arbitrarily specified Aufestestation to any spend predetermined removal station. In any case, it is essential that at least one free space must be provided and that the conveyor pallets move faster at any point if there are two or more free spaces available are, especially then for the other conveyor pallets more alternatives to create a funding path consist.

Regarding It is a concrete embodiment of the funding range advantageous if these - for reasons of stability - from preferably constructed welded hollow profiles is. The hollow sections could be steel hollow sections act. To create a suitable stand for the Motor vehicles could turn the hollow sections with light metal profiles be covered over a wide area.

to any combinability of individual conveyor modules is it is now of advantage if the conveyor axes of the longitudinal and transverse conveyor unit orthogonal to each other. Accordingly, each of the conveyor modules to the conveyor pallets adapted and formed identical. Any Stringing in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction is thus possible.

to concrete design of the conveyor modules, it is now from very particular advantage, if the longitudinal conveyor unit comprising two canted U-profiles forming the longitudinal track, in the serving to support the conveyor pallets idlers or straps are installed. Accordingly, the Transverse conveyor also comprise two folded U-profiles, the form the cross track. Also in these U-profiles are to support the Conveyor pallet serving idlers or girths installed.

Now, the support rollers or straps in both U-profiles on the one hand, the longitudinal conveyor unit and on the other hand, the transverse conveyor unit can be rotationally driven or driven circumferentially. In terms of a very simple construction of the device according to the invention, it is advantageous if only the support rollers or straps on one side, ie in one of the two U-profiles, are rotationally driven. In conventional dimensions of a conveyor pallet with L × W × H = 5000 mm × 2050 mm × 180 mm, it is sufficient, for example, if in each U-profile of the longitudinal conveyor unit preferably five ball-bearing, each having a flanged pulley support rollers are provided. Due to the flanged wheels a track with a length of 5000 mm is formed on both sides. A sufficient support or support of the conveyor pallets is thus given. Furthermore, each carrying roller and each carrying strap should Made of a highly resistant material. In particular, due to introduced by motor vehicles aggressive media, especially liquids, such as saline wastewater, for example, the support rollers should be coated with a protective layer. Vulkollan coated carrier rolls are particularly suitable here.

To the Drive the at least on one side of both the longitudinal conveyor unit as well as the cross conveyor unit driven support rollers or straps is a belt drive due to the simple design of particular importance. As traction means could be HDT timing belt can be used. The force introduction for the rotational movement of the support rollers or the conveying movement The straps could be through a pole-changing three-phase geared motor respectively.

The Carrier rollers or girths of the longitudinal conveyor unit and the support rollers or straps of the cross conveyor unit have a common application of force or a common drive on. This could be the longitudinal and thus formed Transverse roller tracks via a cardan shaft with each other be connected to drive. In order to achieve the same conveying speed realize both in the longitudinal and in the transverse direction, should at the same translation, the carrying rollers of the longitudinal conveyor unit the same diameter as the carrying rollers of the cross conveyor unit to have. The same applies to the conveying speed the straps.

Around a conveyor pallet alternating longitudinal and transverse in the sense of an X-Y coordinate system grid or promote matrix to be able to, the longitudinal conveyor unit and the transverse conveyor unit designed alternately lowerable be. In that regard, the funding range would each exclusively either in the lane of the longitudinal conveyor unit or in the track of the cross conveyor unit.

in the Framework of a particularly advantageous and simple design the conveyor units are the U-profiles of the longitudinal conveyor unit mounted a frame or connected by crossbeams to a frame. This frame of the longitudinal conveyor unit could now preferably via an electric motor driven Eccentric the conveyor range from the lower level Transverse position in the higher longitudinal position Lift, with the conveyor pallet through the longitudinal conveyor unit is lifted from the cross conveyor unit. In other words the conveyor pallet is in the lowered state of the longitudinal conveyor unit the carrying rollers of the cross conveyor unit. When pressed the eccentric is now the conveyor range of lifted the support rollers of the cross conveyor unit and is located doing so - after lifting off the support rollers of the cross conveyor unit - on the carrying rollers of the longitudinal conveyor unit. A reverse arrangement or design would also be conceivable. Anyway, a slight lifting of the Delivery pallet required, in which case a stroke of the eccentric device in the range around 80 mm is sufficient.

The the stroke of the longitudinal conveyor unit causing eccentric could have a total of four eccentrics, which roughly the Corner areas are assigned. These eccentrics can be paired up be mounted two Hubwellen. The introduction of force for the Eccentric could further via a Three-phase helical gear motor made, for example, the Hubwelle drives with two toothed belts.

The previously described conveyor modules promote the conveyor pallets due to the longitudinally orthogonal and cross-conveyor units exclusively in one Level. In order to include motor vehicles at different levels, d. H. on top of each other, could park the conveyor pallets preferably at one as a lifting station trained conveying module - together with the Conveying module - from the park and conveying level vertically movable on at least a second parking and conveying plane be, where there is a free space is provided.
