Definitions

  • the basic scheme of these plants with mobile platforms - whether they are built in the open air or, more often, underground - comprises two parallel, adjacent, rectilinear tracks, preferably horizontal and arranged one above the other, and means for moving forward the platforms along said tracks in opposed directions and for transferring them, at the ends of the tracks, from one track to the other.
  • the platforms are tied one to the other, in succession, by a pair of chains with closed circuit, having both the function of dragging and guiding said platforms along said rectilinear tracks, and the function of supporting them during their transfer from one track to the other.
  • these types of plants have structures which are specially fit for parking areas of large dimensions, or in which it is essential to take advantage of a space in height, but they are not equally fit for more modest parking areas, as used, for example, for serving a single building, in that:
  • the object of the present invention is a plant mainly designed for the parking of motor vehicles - but apt to be used for atoring articles in general - intended to eliminate the heretofore mentioned drawbacks and, in particular, due to its very simple and economical structure and to the low power installed, being apt to solve very well the problem of realizing parking areas even of modest dimensions.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a plant apt to be arranged also in pillared spaces - as could be the basements of a building or in general the spaces obtained under areas of road traffic - without the supporting pillars hampering the movement of the platforms.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a plant wherein, each time, only the platform concerned is set in motion - without this notion involving the other platforms, as it occurs in all the heretofore mentioned plants of prior art - with obvious considerable reduction in the plant running costs.
  • the plant comprises two parking stretches, indicated on the whole by 1 and 2, being separated by a longitudinal service corridor 3.
  • the corridor 3 contains a longitudinal track comprising two main side rails 4 and 5 and possibly a third central rail 6, as will be better described hereinafter.
  • This control system which may be electric and/or electronic, pneumatic, or simply mechanical - will not be described hereinafter, as it is a system known per se and which anyhow departs from the scope of the present invention.
  • the parking stretches 1 and 2 are divided into a plurality of parking places, each being defined by a stationing track section 8, the axis of which is transversal to the service track 4-5-6. Onto each track 8 there slides, by means of idle wheels of its own, a platform 9 for the parking of a motor vehicle 10.
  • the travelling wagon 7 moves from the zone of access A-B to the parking area, up to atopping in correspondence of a preselected parking place.
  • the preselected platform is transferred onto the wagon 7.
  • the wagon 7 moves back to the zone of access A-B: in this zone, the motor vehicle 10' which enters from A, can get onto the platform 9, carried by the wagon 7, and this latter can carry the platform back to the parking place left free. Or viceversa, the motor vehicle 10' which was already stationed on the platform 9, can get off it and leave from B.
  • the wagon 7 is - in the direction transversal to the track 4-5-6 - longer than the platforms 9, so that it comprises two end parts 7a and 7b which project beyond the ends of the platform carried by the wagon itself.
  • end parts 7a and 7b are normally housed the transfer means 11 and 12, in the form of self-propelled carriages (better illustrated hereinafter).
  • the wagon 7 bears, at its opposite ends, onto the rails 4 and 5 by means of wheels 13.
  • the rails 4, 5, have a triangular section and the wheels 13 have a bearing groove which has in turn a triangular profile: this arrangement guarantees in fact, at the same time, a perfect transversal positioning of the wagon and a proper adherence of the wheels - particularly the driving wheels - onto the track.
  • the structure of the mobile platforms is extremely simple, in that it is formed by a rigid flatcar mounted on idle wheels.
  • figure 7 shows the motor unit 20, placed under the flatcar, in the axle base of the wheels 13.
  • the motor 20 is designed to drive preferably a single pair of wheels, both in one running direction and in the opposite direction.
  • Figure 7 also shows the main frame members 21 of the wagon 7, to the sides of which are provided the slide guides 22, 23, for the wheels 24 of the platform 9, said slide guides being therefore set perpendicularly to the track 4-5-6, as better specified hereinafter.
  • the guides 22, 23, are formed by C-shaped channel sections, open towards the outer side of the wagon, or even by closed U-shaped channel sections, for the purpose better specified hereinafter.
  • Each carriage 26 is essentially formed by a horizontal plate 26a, at the ends of which are fixed the brackets 26b carrying the pins 26c of the wheels 25, mounted cantilevered and facing the inside of the wagon 7.
  • each carriage 26 Fixed laterally and beneath each carriage 26, are provided motor means 26d, leading into rotation - through a shaft of appropriate length (not shown) - a pinion gear 26e which meshes with a rack 27, fixed to the frame of the wagon 7 and running along its full length.
  • motor means 26d leading into rotation - through a shaft of appropriate length (not shown) - a pinion gear 26e which meshes with a rack 27, fixed to the frame of the wagon 7 and running along its full length.
  • a large tooth 26f which may be formed by:
  • each channel 15 may be beveled, to facilitate the introduction of the tooth 26f during sliding of the wagon 7 along the track 4-5-6, as better specified hereinafter.
  • the wheels 24 of the platforms 9 are mounted on pins fixed cantilevered and facing the inside of the platform, said pins being carried by brackets 24a projecting downwards from the platform flatcar. This arrangement allows to keep the transversal dimensions of the platforms within the size of the flatcar actually required for stationing the motor vehicles, that is, without the wheels forming an additional transversal bulk.
  • This arrangement also allows to make use of slide guides 22, 23, with a C-shaped section - as said - which have the advantage of providing, not only a transversal guide with a minimum slack, but also a double guide in the vertical direction; in other words, the guides 22 and 23 do not only support the platform wheels 24 and the carriage wheels 25 together with the weight carried thereby, but they are also apt to keep said wheels from shifting upwards.
  • the guides 22 and 23 do not only support the platform wheels 24 and the carriage wheels 25 together with the weight carried thereby, but they are also apt to keep said wheels from shifting upwards.
  • the plant according to the present invention is extremely simple from the structural and from the functional point of view.
  • the usual control systems for the plants of this type it is of course possible to make its working fully automatic; it should be noted, however, that in case of failure of the automatic control system, or even simply in case of lack of current, the plant does not remain out-of-work in that two men are sufficient to set in motion both the platforms 9 and the wagon 7 in emergency conditions.
  • the plant according to the present invention is also remarkably flexible from the point of view of use.
  • the single parking places may be arranged in a pillared area, without the presence of such pillars representing a real impediment: it is in fact sufficient, in correspondence of the pillars, to space the stationing tracks to an extent corresponding to the width of the actual pillars.
  • stationing platforms of different sizes for instance of reduced length, for what concerns the platforms being stationed on one of the parking areas 1 or 2, or even of reduced width - though always with the same gauge between the wheels 24 - when intending to use to the utmost the space available between the pillars.
  • the plant according to the invention may be used not only as parking area, but also as area for storing vehicles at factories, their branch offices or at dealers.
  • the plant according to the invention may be utilized as storing area for any other type of wares, also by using - associated to the platforms, or in replacement thereof - box or cradle containers, or the like:
