Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Abstellen mehrerer Fahrzeuge übereinander mit mindestens einer mit einem Hubantrieb versehenen Plattform und einer Gleichlaufeinrichtung zum Ausgleich von zur Mittelebene der Plattform bzw. Plattformen unsymmetrischen Verformungen der Plattform bzw. Plattformen, bestehend aus je einer Lenkeranordnung zu beiden Seiten der Plattform, die sich zwischen der Plattform und einer ortsfesten Abstützung erstreckt und einer torsionssteifen Verbindungswelle zwischen den Lenkeranordnungen.The invention relates to a device for parking several vehicles one above the other with at least one platform provided with a lifting drive and a synchronizing device for compensating for deformations of the platform or platforms which are asymmetrical with respect to the central plane of the platform or platforms, each consisting of a link arrangement on both sides of the platform, which extends between the platform and a fixed support and a torsionally rigid connecting shaft between the handlebar assemblies.

Es sind Vorrichtungen zum Abstellen mehrerer Fahrzeuge übereinander bekannt, wobei beispielsweise zwei Plattformen vorgesehen sind, die anhebbar sind, so daß sie wahlweise mit einer Einfahrt verbindbar sind. Dadurch kann wahlweise die eine oder andere Plattform befahren werden und die andere Plattform bzw, das andere auf der anderen Plattform stehende Fahrzeug befindet sich entweder über oder unter der befahrbaren Plattform.Devices for parking a plurality of vehicles one above the other are known, for example two platforms being provided which can be raised so that they can optionally be connected to an entrance. As a result, one or the other platform can be driven on and the other platform or the other vehicle standing on the other platform is either above or below the platform that can be driven on.

Wegen der oft ungleichen Gewichtsverteilungen sind die Plattformen Verwindungen oder Verbiegungen ausgesetzt. Solche Beanspruchungen können auch durch die Hubeinrichtungen bedingt sein, die in manchen Ausführungsformen nur an einer Seite der Plattformen angeordnet sind. Diesen Verformungen kann entgegengewirkt werden durch besondere Gleichlaufeinrichtungen.Due to the often unequal weight distribution, the platforms are subject to twisting or bending. Such stresses can also be caused by the lifting devices, which in some embodiments are arranged only on one side of the platforms. These deformations can be counteracted by special synchronizing devices.

In der DE-C-2450058 ist eine solche Gleichlaufeinrichtung beschrieben, bei der eine ortsfeste torsionssteife Verbindungswelle vorgesehen ist, die über zwei Lenker mit dem einfahrtseitigen Ende der oberen Plattform verbunden ist. Die Lenkeranordnung und die Verbindungswelle behindern die Beweglichkeit der Plattform nicht, geben jedoch eine zusätzliche Abstützung der Plattform, die den erwähnten Verformungskräften entgegenwirkt.DE-C-2450058 describes such a synchronizing device, in which a stationary torsion-resistant connecting shaft is provided, which is connected to the entry-side end of the upper platform via two links. The handlebar arrangement and the connecting shaft do not hinder the mobility of the platform, but do provide additional support for the platform, which counteracts the deformation forces mentioned.

Eine Gleichlaufeinrichtung der beschriebenen Art hat in der Regel den Nachteil, daß sie die Zugänglichkeit der unteren Plattform behindert.A synchronization device of the type described generally has the disadvantage that it hinders the accessibility of the lower platform.

Die Lenkeranordnung stört nicht nur beim Betreten oder Verlassen dieser Plattform. Sie kann gegebenenfalls auch Türen im Wege sein.The handlebar arrangement does not only interfere when entering or leaving this platform. If necessary, it can also be doors in the way.

Wird die untere Plattform einer aus zwei beweglichen Plattformen bestehenden Abstellvorrichtung mit einer derartigen Gleichlaufeinrichtung verbunden, lassen sich die erwähnten Nachteile vermeiden, weil dann die Anordnung so getroffen werden kann, daß sie sich immer unterhalb der unteren Plattform befindet, wenn diese in die Befahrstellung angehoben ist. Es ergibt sich aber dann die Schwierigkeit, daß die beiden Lenker der Lenkeranordnung in mindestens einer Stellung parallel oder doch fast parallel verlaufen. In einer solchen Stellung wirken sich schon kleine Herstellungs- oder Montageungenauigkeiten nachteilig aus und beeinträchtigen erheblich die Funktion der Gleichlaufeinrichtung.If the lower platform of a parking device consisting of two movable platforms is connected to such a synchronizing device, the disadvantages mentioned can be avoided, because then the arrangement can be made such that it is always below the lower platform when it is raised to the driving position . The difficulty then arises that the two links of the link arrangement run parallel or at least almost parallel in at least one position. In such a position, even small manufacturing or assembly inaccuracies have a disadvantageous effect and significantly impair the function of the synchronizing device.

Ist die parallele Lage der Lenker nicht die Endlage, in der beispielsweise die obere Plattform befahrbar ist, sondern bewegt sich der eine Lenker am anderen Lenker vorbei, wird ein zusätzlicher Platzbedarf in der Breite notwendig, was ebenfalls als Nachteil erscheint.If the parallel position of the handlebars is not the end position in which, for example, the upper platform can be driven over, but if one handlebar moves past the other handlebar, an additional width requirement is required, which also appears to be a disadvantage.

Die DE-A-2 028 584 beschreibt eine Abstellvorrichtung, wobei Gelenkstangen die von den Hydraulikzylindern auf den oberen Abstellboden eingeleitete Bewegung auf die unteren Plattformen übertragen. Die Gelenkstangen verbinden also die beiden Plattformen miteinander und gleichen insoweit in ihrer Funktion völlig den Lenkerabstrebungen beim Anmeldungsgegenstand.DE-A-2 028 584 describes a parking device in which articulated rods transmit the movement initiated by the hydraulic cylinders to the upper storage floor to the lower platforms. The articulated rods therefore connect the two platforms to one another and, in this respect, function completely in the same way as the handlebar struts in the subject of the application.

Als Besonderheit ergibt sich nun in der DE-A-2 028 564, daß die untere Plattform noch zusätzlich bezüglich ihres Abschnittes in einer Schiene geführt wird, um die gewünschte Horizontalbewegung der unteren Plattform zu erreichen. Aber auch diese Schiene macht keineswegs den Lenker zu einer Gleichlaufeinrichtung. Der Lenker und die Schiene könnten nicht verhindern, daß die linke Seite der oberen Plattform sich stärker absenkt als die rechte Seite, wenn beispielsweise die Belastung der Plattformen unsymmetrisch wäre.A special feature of DE-A-2 028 564 is that the lower platform is additionally guided with respect to its section in a rail in order to achieve the desired horizontal movement of the lower platform. But even this rail in no way turns the handlebar into a synchronous device. The handlebar and the rail could not prevent the left side of the upper platform from lowering more than the right side if, for example, the loading of the platforms were asymmetrical.

Es folgt somit, daß die Entgegenhaltung DE-A-2 028 564 keine Gleichlaufeinrichtung offenbart.It follows that document DE-A-2 028 564 does not disclose a synchronizing device.

Ziel der Erfindung ist die Schaffung einer Gleichlaufeinrichtung, die in jeder Betriebsstellung voll wirksam ist, die einen geringen Platzbedarf aufweist und die auch ohne besondere Genauigkeit herstellbar ist.The aim of the invention is to provide a synchronizing device which is fully effective in every operating position, which requires little space and which can also be produced without particular accuracy.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe geht die Erfindung aus von einer Vorrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Art und schlägt vor, daß die Lenkeranordnung der Gleichlaufeinrichtung je aus einem Lenker besteht, dessen von der an der Plattform gelagerten, torsionssteifen Verbindungswelle abstehendes Ende in einer im wesentlichen horizontalen Schienenführung gelagert ist.To achieve this object, the invention is based on a device of the type described in the introduction and proposes that the link arrangement of the synchronizing device each consists of a link whose end projecting from the torsionally rigid connecting shaft mounted on the platform is mounted in a substantially horizontal rail guide .

Im Gegensatz zu den bekannten Lenkeranordnungen, die immer aus zwei annähernd gleichlangen Lenkern bestehen, verwendet die Erfindung auf jeder Seite der Plattform nur einen einzigen Lenker, dessen eines Ende in einer Schienenführung gelagert ist. Der Herstellungsaufwand für die Erfindung wird dadurch im Vergleich zu den bekannten Einrichtungen nicht vergrößert. Als wesentlicher Vorteil ergibt sich eine Verringerung der Zahl der beweglichen Elemente, deren Länge insbesondere auch vergleichsweise gering sein kann. Dies wirkt sich bei einer Gleichlaufeinrichtung sehr vorteilhaft aus. Es muß nämlich beachtet werden, daß die Gleichlaufeinrichtung um so exakter arbeitet, je geringer die Verformbarkeit bzw. das innere Spiel des Systems ist.In contrast to the known link arrangements, which always consist of two links of approximately the same length, the invention uses only one link on each side of the platform, one end of which is mounted in a rail guide. The manufacturing effort for the invention is not increased compared to the known devices. The main advantage is a reduction in the number of movable elements, the length of which can in particular also be comparatively short. This has a very advantageous effect in a synchronous device. It must be noted that the synchronism works the more precisely, the lower the deformability or the inner play of the system.

Auch der Platzbedarf erweist sich bei der Erfindung sehr gering. Der Platzbedarf der Schienenführung ist wegen der relativen Unbeweglichkeit geringer als eines verschwenkbaren Lenkers.The space requirement also proves to be very small in the invention. The space requirement of the rail guide is due to the relative immobility less than a pivotable handlebar.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann der art ausgebildet werden, daß beispielsweise die Schienenführung mit einer der Plattform verbunden ist und daß die torsionssteife Verbindungswelle in ortsfesten Lagern angeordnet ist. Auch bei dieser Anordnung lassen sich wesentliche Vorteile der Erfindung erreichen. Besser erscheint es jedoch, wenn die Schienenführung ortsfest angeordnet ist. Für die Schienenführung läßt sich hierbei dann leicht Platz ausnützen, der ohnehin wegen der notwendigen Distanz zwischen einzelnen Vorrichtungen bzw. am Rande der Vorrichtungen notwendig ist.The device according to the invention can be designed in such a way that, for example, the rail guide is connected to one of the platforms and that the torsionally rigid connecting shaft is arranged in fixed bearings. With this arrangement, too, significant advantages of the invention can be achieved. However, it seems better if the rail guide is arranged in a fixed position. Space can then easily be used for the rail guide, which is necessary anyway because of the necessary distance between individual devices or at the edge of the devices.

Die Erfindung schlägt ferner vor, daß die Schienenführung etwa in der mittleren Höhenlage zwischen den möglichen Endlagen der Verbindungswelle angeordnet ist. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung zeigen sich die wesentlichen Vorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Bauweise. Während es bei einem Lenkerpaar schwierig ist parallele Lagen der Lenker zu beherrschen, ist es bei der Erfindung leicht möglich, die Lenker um eine Mittellage der Führungsschiene zu bewegen. Sind die Lenker und die Führungsschiene parallel, ergibt sich der optimale Gleichlauf. Die Anordnung läßt sich leicht so treffen, daß auch der Platzbedarf in Richtung der jeweiligen Gelenkachsen gering bleibt.The invention also proposes that the rail guide is arranged approximately in the middle height position between the possible end positions of the connecting shaft. This configuration shows the essential advantages of the construction according to the invention. While it is difficult for a pair of handlebars to control parallel positions of the handlebars, it is easily possible with the invention to move the handlebars about a central position of the guide rail. If the handlebars and the guide rail are parallel, the optimal synchronism results. The arrangement can easily be made so that the space requirement in the direction of the respective joint axes remains small.

Eine günstige Bauweise wird dann erhalten, wenn die Verbindungswelle in der Nähe des einfahrtseitigen Endes der unteren Plattform einer Vorrichtung mit zwei Plattformen angeordnet ist und wenn die Führungsschiene einerseits an einem Führungselement für die Plattform und andererseits an einer Stütze am Grundgestell der Vorrichtung abgestützt ist.A favorable design is obtained if the connecting shaft is arranged in the vicinity of the entry-side end of the lower platform of a device with two platforms and if the guide rail is supported on the one hand on a guide element for the platform and on the other hand on a support on the base frame of the device.

Die Erfindung ist vorzugsweise gedacht für Vorrichtungen mit zwei beweglichen Plattformen, die beispielsweise durch Streben, Lenker od. dgl. starr oder beweglich miteinander verbunden sind. Die Erfindung kann aber auch bei Vorrichtung mit einer einzigen beweglichen Plattform angewandt werden.The invention is preferably intended for devices with two movable platforms which are rigidly or movably connected to one another, for example by struts, handlebars or the like. However, the invention can also be applied to devices with a single movable platform.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung schematisch in einer Seitenansicht dargestellt.In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown schematically in a side view.

Wie an sich bekannt, ist eine Vorrichtung zum Abstellen von mehreren Fahrzeugen übereinander in einer Grube 10 angeordnet. Auf dem Boden 11 der Grube ist das Grundgestell 9 gelagert, auf dem sich die Stütze 8, das Führungselement 7 und der Arbeitszylinder 12 abstützen. Das Führungselement 7 und die Stütze 8 sind dabei zu beiden Seiten der Plattform 5 und 6 angeordnet. Der Arbeitszylinder 12 kann einseitig oder auf beiden Seiten der Plattformen vorgesehen werden.As is known per se, a device for parking several vehicles one above the other is arranged in a pit 10. The base frame 9 is supported on the floor 11 of the pit, on which the support 8, the guide element 7 and the working cylinder 12 are supported. The guide element 7 and the support 8 are arranged on both sides of the platform 5 and 6. The working cylinder 12 can be provided on one side or on both sides of the platforms.

Die Stütze 8 und das Führungselement 7 tragen die im wesentlichen horizontal verlaufende Schienenführung 4, die Teil der Gleichlaufvorrichtung ist.The support 8 and the guide element 7 carry the substantially horizontal rail guide 4, which is part of the synchronizing device.

Im Führungselement 7, das beispielsweise als U-förmige zu den Plattformen hin offene Schiene ausgestaltet ist, sind insgesamt vier Rollen, und zwar die oberen Rollen 13 und die unteren Rollen 14 beweglich. Die Rollen sind an einer Strebe 15 gelagert. Die Strebe 15 verbindet die beiden Plattformen 5 und 6.A total of four rollers, namely the upper rollers 13 and the lower rollers 14, are movable in the guide element 7, which is designed, for example, as a U-shaped rail that is open toward the platforms. The rollers are mounted on a strut 15. The strut 15 connects the two platforms 5 and 6.

Während die Rollen 14 immer im Führungselement 7 geführt sind, finden die oberen Rollen 13 am oberen Ende des Führungselementes 7 in der höchsten Stellung eine Ausbiegung 16 vor, die eine Neigung der beiden Plattformen 5 und 6 ergibt.While the rollers 14 are always guided in the guide element 7, the upper rollers 13 find a bend 16 at the upper end of the guide element 7 in the highest position, which results in an inclination of the two platforms 5 and 6.

Der Arbeitszylinder 12 stützt sich mit dem oberen Ende seiner Kolbenstange 17 an der oberen Plattform 6 ab und beim Hubvorgang erzwingt das Führungselement 7 zunächst eine Parallelverschiebung beider Plattformen, bis die Ausbiegung 16 die Neigungsbewegung zuläßt.The working cylinder 12 is supported with the upper end of its piston rod 17 on the upper platform 6 and during the lifting process the guide element 7 first forces a parallel displacement of both platforms until the bend 16 permits the inclination movement.

An der unteren Plattform 5 ist die Verbindungswelle 3 gelagert, die sich über die ganze Breite der Plattformen erstreckt und an ihren Enden je mit einem Lenker starr verbunden ist. Die aus den Teilen 1 und 3 bestehende Einheit ist torsionssteif und sichert den Gleichlauf. Am Ende 2 des Lenkers 1 ist jeweils ein gelenkiges Schiebestück 18 angeordnet, das in die Schienenführung gleitet.On the lower platform 5, the connecting shaft 3 is mounted, which extends over the entire width of the platforms and is rigidly connected at its ends to a link. The unit consisting of parts 1 and 3 is torsionally rigid and ensures synchronism. At the end 2 of the handlebar 1, an articulated sliding piece 18 is arranged, which slides into the rail guide.

Es ist klar, daß die Schienenführungen auf beiden Seiten in Verbindung mit den Lenkern 1 und der Verbindungswelle 3 dem einfahrtseitigen Ende der Plattform 5 einen Gleichlauf aufzwingen, der sich dann auch auf die übrigen Teile der beiden Plattformen insbesondere über die Lenkerabstrebung 19 auch auf die obere Plattform überträgt. Da sich die Schienenführungen 4 und die Stütze 8 jeweils außerhalb der Lenker 1 befinden, wird die Beweglichkeit zwischen den beiden Endlagen der Plattform bzw. des Lenkers 1 nicht behindert. Dabei ist es günstig, wenn die Schienenführung 4 aus zwei Teilen besteht, nämlich einem Bahnteil, in dem das Schiebestück 18 beweglich ist und der in ausreichendem Abstand vor dem Arbeitszylinder 12 bei 20 endet und an den sich eine Verlängerung 21 anschließt, die die Verbindung mit dem Führungselement 7 herstellt. Die Anordnung kann dann leicht so getroffen werden, daß beispielsweise die Rollen 13 und 14, der Arbeitszylinder 12 und das Schiebestück 18 im wesentlichen in einer Ebene angeordnet sind.It is clear that the rail guides on both sides in connection with the handlebars 1 and the connecting shaft 3 impose a synchronism on the entrance-side end of the platform 5, which then also affects the other parts of the two platforms, in particular via the handlebar strut 19, also on the upper one Platform transmits. Since the rail guides 4 and the support 8 are each outside the handlebar 1, the mobility between the two end positions of the platform and the handlebar 1 is not hindered. It is advantageous if the rail guide 4 consists of two parts, namely a track part in which the sliding piece 18 is movable and which ends at 20 at a sufficient distance from the working cylinder 12 and which is followed by an extension 21 which connects with the guide element 7. The arrangement can then be easily made so that, for example, the rollers 13 and 14, the working cylinder 12 and the sliding piece 18 are arranged essentially in one plane.

In der angehobenen Stellung beider Plattformen befindet sich die Gleichlaufeinrichtung unterhalb der unteren Plattform und ist daher weder sichtbar noch störend. Sind die Plattformen ganz abgesenkt, steht zwar die Gleichlaufeinrichtung gegenüber der unteren Plattform nach oben vor. Aber auch in diesem Falle ist der Platzbedarf gering bzw. leicht zu erfüllen. Das Fahrzeug ist in dieser Stellung ohnehin nicht zugänglich, so daß die Gleichlaufeinrichtung nicht hinderlich ist.In the raised position of both platforms, the synchronization device is located below the lower platform and is therefore neither visible nor disturbing. If the platforms are completely lowered, the synchronization device projects upwards from the lower platform. But even in this case, the space requirement is small or easy to meet. The vehicle is not accessible in this position anyway, so that the synchronization device is not a hindrance.

Zu beachten ist, daß sich die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung insbesondere dann gut eignet, wenn es darum geht, die Anordnung derart zu treffen, daß in der abgesenkten Stellung der Abstellvorrichtung keine Elemente über die gemeinsame Zufahrt beider Plattformen nach oben vorstehen.It should be noted that the device according to the invention is particularly well suited when it comes to making the arrangement in such a way that in the lowered position of the parking device, no elements about the ge project the joint access of both platforms upwards.
