Technical Field

The present invention relates to a parking device for parking a plurality of vehicles and a stand structure for the parking device.

Background

In recent years, parking frames used in parking apparatuses such as a horizontal circulation type parking apparatus for parking a plurality of vehicles have been variously developed (for example, patent documents 1 and 2).

Fig. 14 is a plan view of a conventional parking frame H disclosed in patent documents 1 and 2.

The parking frame H has a parking space S on which a single pallet (not shown) is loaded, and a conveyance unit D is provided in the parking space S.

In the figure, the conveying unit D is composed of a pallet support wheel a, a drive motor b, a link c, a motor D for link operation, and a roller e, and is integrally and directly fixed to the frame structure F.

In this example, the stent structure F is constituted by a plurality of members F1 to F5, and is integrated by welding or the like. Further, a roller g for supporting the moving pallet on the adjacent parking frame H is attached to the frame structure F.

The conventional stent structure F described above has: a plurality of support members f1 arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the pallet; and a stay member f2 provided between the support members f1 adjacent to each other in the vertical direction. The scaffold structure F has a support frame F3 of the conveyance unit D provided between the adjacent four support members F1 in each layer. In other words, the support frame F3 is disposed as a part of the scaffold structure F at each layer of the scaffold structure F.

The parking apparatus is equipped with a pallet for carrying a vehicle in the parking space S of each floor of the rack structure F.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

Problem to be solved by utility model

The conventional parking apparatus described above has the following problems.

(1) Since the frame structure F and the conveyance unit D are integrally configured, the size (the size in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction) of the single jiffy stand H is equal to or larger than the pallet, the jiffy stand H occupies a large space, and the cost for storage, conveyance, and installation becomes excessive.

(2) If the components (a to e described above) of the carrying unit D are stored separately from the frame structure F, the operation of placing the carrying unit D on the frame structure F is complicated, and a lot of time is required.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a stand structure having a novel configuration and a parking apparatus using the same, which can solve the above-described problems.

Means for solving the problems

The first aspect of the present invention is an assembled rack structure for a parking device for parking a plurality of vehicles, wherein a plurality of parking spaces having a size corresponding to a pallet for loading the vehicles are arranged in a grid-like manner with a space therebetween,

the parking space has a device mounting portion for mounting the pallet conveying device therein.

The second mode of the present invention is a parking device for parking a plurality of vehicles, comprising:

the above-described stent structure; and

and a plurality of pallet conveying devices which are mounted on the device mounting portion and are arranged inside the parking space, and which can convey the pallets horizontally in the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction.

Effect of the utility model

According to the above configuration of the present invention, since the bracket structure can be assembled, the size of the component before assembly can be made smaller than the length and width of the pallet.

Therefore, the occupied space of the components before the assembly of the stent structure can be reduced, and the costs for storage, transportation, and placement can be significantly reduced.

Further, since the parking space has a device mounting portion for mounting the pallet conveying device therein, the pallet conveying device can be mounted only by mounting the miniaturized pallet conveying device on the device mounting portion, and the mounting operation can be simplified and the operation time can be significantly shortened.

The dimension in the longitudinal direction Y of the apparatus frame 60 is shorter than the dimension in the longitudinal direction Y of the pallet frame 46, and is, for example, about half the dimension in the longitudinal direction Y of the pallet frame 46.

The conveyance unit 72 is fixed to the apparatus frame 60 in advance. The conveyance unit 72 conveys the pallet 14 in the longitudinal direction Y or the lateral direction X. The specific configuration of the conveyance unit 72 is as follows.

Fig. 12 is a view along the line F-F in fig. 10. Fig. 13 is a plan view of the pallet conveying device 16, and shows a state in which the four conveying wheels 80 are turned in the longitudinal direction Y.

As shown in fig. 10 to 13, the conveying unit 72 is provided with four turning members 74 in a square tube shape on the front side (front surface side), and each turning member 74 can turn around a vertical turning axis 74c via a plurality of bearings 76. The four turning members 74 are arranged in a rectangular shape having two short sides parallel to the lateral direction X and two long sides parallel to the longitudinal direction Y, similarly to the four steering rails 54. Each of the turnabout members 74 has a coupling plate 78 at the lower portion thereof, and the coupling plates 78 in each set of turnabout members 74 located on the diagonal line of the rectangle are the same shape.

Each turning member 74 is provided with a conveying wheel 80 for conveying the pallet 14 on the inner side thereof, and each conveying wheel 80 is rotatable about a horizontal rotation axis 80c via a bearing (not shown). The four conveying wheels 80 are arranged in a rectangular shape having two short sides parallel to the lateral direction X and two long sides parallel to the longitudinal direction Y, similarly to the four turning members 74. Each of the conveying wheels 80 protrudes upward from the revolving member 74, and can support any one of the lateral conveying rail 48, the vertical conveying rail 50, and the turn rail 54 from below (see fig. 7).

One set (two) of the turning members 74 located on the diagonal line of the rectangle is provided with a conveyance motor 82 as a conveyance actuator at their side portions, and the conveyance motor 82 rotates (turns) the corresponding conveyance wheel 80. In other words, the pair of conveyance wheels 80 located on the diagonal line of the rectangle is a drive wheel that is rotationally driven by the driving of the conveyance motor 82. The other set of carrier wheels 80 located on the diagonal of the rectangle becomes the free wheels. Instead of using two transport wheels 80 as drive wheels, four transport wheels 80 may be used as drive wheels.

Each turning member 74 includes a plurality of (four) guide rollers 84 at an upper portion thereof, and each guide roller 84 is rotatable about a vertical rotation axis 84c via a bearing (not shown). The guide rollers 84 can support any one of the lateral transport rail 48, the vertical transport rail 50, and the turn rail 54 so as to be sandwiched from both sides in the horizontal direction.

Specifically, one end of the first coupling lever 86 is rotatably coupled to the coupling plate 78 of one swivel member 74 of the pair of swivel members 74 adjacent in the lateral direction X. The other end portion of the first coupling lever 86 is rotatably coupled to the coupling plate 78 of the other swivel member 74 of the pair of swivel members 74 adjoining in the lateral direction X.

Further, the coupling plates 78 of the pair of swivel parts 74 adjacent in the longitudinal direction Y are coupled between them with a second coupling rod 88 extending in the longitudinal direction Y. Specifically, one end of the second coupling lever 88 is rotatably coupled to the coupling plate 78 of one swivel member 74 of the pair of swivel members 74 adjacent in the longitudinal direction Y. The other end of the second coupling lever 88 is rotatably coupled to the coupling plate 78 of the other swivel member 74 of the pair of swivel members 74 adjacent in the longitudinal direction Y.

As shown in fig. 10 and 13, the carrying unit 72 is equipped with a geared motor 90 on its front side, the geared motor 90 having a vertical output shaft 90 s. A base end portion of a swing arm 92 is fixed to an output shaft 90s of the geared motor 90, and the swing arm 92 can swing in the forward and reverse directions about a vertical swing axis (an axis of the output shaft 90s of the geared motor 90). In other words, the swing arm 92 is provided on the front side of the apparatus frame 60 via the geared motor 90, and the geared motor 90 corresponds to a swing actuator that swings the swing arm 92 in the forward and reverse directions. The swing arm 92 is swingable in the forward and reverse directions between a first swing position (position shown in fig. 10) parallel to the second coupling link 88 and a second swing position (position shown in fig. 13) parallel to the second coupling link 88 and displaced by 180 degrees from the first swing position.

One of the second coupling links 88 is provided with a coupling link 94 protruding in the lateral direction X at a portion thereof, and a long hole 94h extending in the lateral direction X (horizontal direction) is formed in the coupling link 94. In addition, the tip end portion of the oscillating arm 92 is movably coupled to the elongated hole 94h of the link 94. In other words, the tip end portion of the swing arm 92 is coupled to a part of any one of the first coupling links 86 via the coupling link 94. Then, if the swing arm 92 is located at the first swing position (fig. 10), the plurality of conveyance wheels 80 are steered in the lateral direction X by the coupling action of the coupling link 94, the pair of first coupling links 86, and the pair of second coupling links 88. If the swing arm 92 is located at the second swing position (fig. 13), the plurality of conveyance wheels 80 are steered in the longitudinal direction Y by the link action of the link links 94 and the like.

Next, the structure of the crane 20 will be briefly described.

As shown in fig. 1 and 4, the crane 20 has: a device frame 96 provided to the lifter 18; and a conveying unit 98 that is provided on the front side of the apparatus frame 96 and conveys the pallet 14 in the longitudinal direction Y or the lateral direction X. The apparatus frame 96 has the same configuration as the apparatus frame 60 in the pallet conveying apparatus 16, and the conveying unit 98 has the same configuration as the conveying unit 72 in the pallet conveying apparatus 16.

Next, the operation and effect of the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

(Overall operation of parking apparatus 10)

When any of the pallet conveying devices 16 adjacent in the lateral direction X is empty, the swing arm 92 is swung in the forward direction by 180 degrees by the gear motor 90 of the pallet conveying device 16, and positioned from the second swing position (fig. 13) to the first swing position (fig. 10). Then, the four turning members 74 are turned synchronously in the forward direction by the coupling action of the coupling links 94 and the like in the pallet conveying device 16, and the four conveying wheels 80 are steered in the lateral direction X (synchronous steering). Alternatively, the four conveying wheels 80 of any pallet conveying device 16 are previously steered in the lateral direction X. Then, the two conveying wheels 80 are rotated (rotationally driven) by driving the two conveying motors 82 in the pallet conveying device 16. This enables the pallet 14 to be conveyed in the lateral direction X, and the pallet 14 can be delivered to and received from the pallet conveyor 16 adjacent to the lateral direction X.

When any of the pallet conveying devices 16 is empty, the swing arm 92 is swung in the reverse direction by 180 degrees by driving the gear motor 90, and is positioned from the first swing position (fig. 10) to the second swing position (fig. 13). Then, the four turning members 74 are synchronously turned in the opposite direction by the coupling action of the coupling links 94 and the like in the pallet conveying device 16, and the four conveying wheels 80 are steered in the vertical direction Y (synchronous steering). Alternatively, the four conveying wheels 80 of any pallet conveying device 16 are previously steered in the vertical direction Y. Then, the two conveying wheels 80 are rotated (rotationally driven) by driving the two conveying motors 82 in the pallet conveying device 16. This enables the pallet 14 to be conveyed in the longitudinal direction Y, and the pallet 14 can be delivered to and received from the pallet conveying devices 16 adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction Y.

By appropriately repeating the above-described operations, the plurality of pallets 14 can be stored in the parking spaces 12S on each floor while being horizontally circulated in the horizontal direction X and the vertical direction Y. In other words, a plurality of vehicles M can be parked in the parking spaces 12S on each floor while circulating horizontally.

When a predetermined vehicle M parked from the parking entrance is parked in the parking space 12S of the upper or lower floor, the parking is performed as follows.

The lifter 18 is lowered by driving the lifter to be positioned at a height corresponding to the parking space 12S of the upper or lower floor. Then, the conveying unit 98 of the crane 20 operates in the same manner as the conveying unit 72 of the pallet conveying device 16. Thus, the predetermined pallet 14 on which the predetermined vehicle M is mounted can be transported in the lateral direction X or the vertical direction Y, and can be delivered from the crane 20 to the pallet transport device 16 in an empty state, so that the predetermined vehicle M can be parked in the parking space 12S on the upper floor or the lower floor.

When the vehicle M parked in the parking space 12S of the upper or lower floor is to be taken out from the garage entrance/exit, the following is performed.

As described above, in the parking space 12S on the upper or lower floor, the predetermined palette 14 on which the predetermined vehicle M is mounted is adjacent to the empty crane 20 in the lateral direction X or the vertical direction Y while horizontally circulating the plurality of palettes 14. Then, the two conveying wheels 80 are rotated by driving the two conveying motors 82 in the predetermined pallet conveying device 16 in which the predetermined pallets 14 are stored. Then, the predetermined pallet 14 can be conveyed in the lateral direction X or the longitudinal direction Y and can be delivered from the predetermined pallet conveying device 16 to the crane 20 in an empty state. Then, the elevator 18 can be raised by driving the elevator device to be positioned at a height corresponding to the entry/exit opening, and the predetermined vehicle M can be taken out from the entry/exit opening.

(the special function of the utility model)

As described above, the scaffold structure 12 has the plurality of device mounting portions 42 arranged in a lattice shape in the longitudinal direction Y and the lateral direction X in each layer. The device frame 60 of each pallet transport device 16 is provided in the device mounting portion 42 and is configured separately from the rack structure 12. Therefore, it is not necessary to make the size (the dimensions in the vertical direction Y and the horizontal direction X) of the apparatus frame 60 of the pallet transport apparatus 16 equal to or larger than the size of the pallet 14, and the pallet transport apparatus 16 can be made smaller and lighter.

As described above, both ends of the first beam member 30 are detachably fixed to the pair of joint members 22 adjacent in the longitudinal direction Y, and both ends of the second beam member 36 are detachably fixed to the pair of joint members 22 adjacent in the lateral direction X. The device mounting portion 42 for mounting the pallet conveyor 16 is defined by a pair of first beam members 30 adjacent in the lateral direction X and a pair of second beam members 36 adjacent in the longitudinal direction Y. Therefore, even if the device frame 60 is configured separately from the rack structure 12, the strength of the rack structure 12 can be sufficiently ensured, and the pallet transport device 16 can be firmly attached to the device attachment portion 42 of the rack structure 12.

(effects of the utility model)

According to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, since the bracket structure 12 is assembled, the size of the component parts before the assembly of the bracket structure 12 can be made smaller than the length and width of the pallet 14.

Therefore, the occupied space of the components before the assembly of the stent structure 12 can be reduced, and the costs for storage, transportation, and placement can be significantly reduced.

Further, since the apparatus mounting portion 42 to which the pallet conveying apparatus 16 is mounted is provided inside the parking space 12S, the pallet conveying apparatus 16 can be mounted only by mounting the miniaturized pallet conveying apparatus 16 to the apparatus mounting portion 42, and the mounting operation can be simplified and the operation time can be significantly shortened.

As described above, according to the present invention, the size and weight of the rack structure 12 and the pallet conveying device 16 can be reduced, the time required for the conveying operation of the rack structure 12 and the pallet conveying device 16 and the setting operation of the parking device 10 can be shortened, and the operation efficiency thereof can be improved. In addition, the storage space of the rack structure 12 and the pallet conveying device 16 can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a single first beam member 30 or second beam member 36 is located in the middle of the adjoining parking spaces 12S. Therefore, in the same installation area, the two adjacent conventional support members f1 are replaced with a single first beam member 30 or second beam member 36, and therefore the rigidity of the first beam member 30 and second beam member 36 can be significantly improved.

Therefore, the strength of the frame structure 12 can be sufficiently ensured, the pallet conveying device 16 can be firmly attached to the device attachment portion 42 of the frame structure 12, and the conveying operation of the pallet 14 by the conveying unit 72 can be stabilized. In particular, since the positions of the apparatus frame 60 in the lateral direction X and the longitudinal direction Y with respect to the mounting bar 44, in other words, the position of the conveying unit 72 can be adjusted by the position adjusting device 65, the conveying operation of the pallet 14 by the conveying unit 72 can be further stabilized.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be implemented in various other embodiments by making appropriate changes. The scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above.
