Definitions

  • This invention relates to a multistorey automatic garage for the temporary housing or parking of motor vehicles, particularly motorcars.
  • Parking silos or garages for motocars are known, having several parking floors connected by access ramps, where a motorcar is driven by the user up to a free parking place, which has to be looked for by trial and error, and parked there.
  • the user after leaving the garage (also known as autosilo, or parking silo) by way of pedestrain stairs or elevators, later comes back to collect his car by the same way, and drives the car out of the garage along the same ramps.
  • This kind of parking silo provides a better utilization of space, because it is conceived on the pattern of an automatic merchandise stockage system. Both the vertical and the horizontal density of motorcars is optimized, and the corridors between the ranks are reduced to a minimum. Moreover, motorcars are completely protected from theft of objects aboard, because only a limited number of authorized persons are allowed to circulate within the parking silo. Lastly, a better service is provided to the user, because the latter does not have to laboriously drive up ramps and cor­ridors in search of a free parking-place.
  • this kind of parking silo has new drawbacks.
  • the traveling lift remains busy for a considerable time, of the order of one minute or more, in transferring each motorcar from the entrance to the parking silo to the desired cubicle or vice versa, and this creates delays giving rise to queues of vehicles being consigned, or of users waiting to collect their vehicles.
  • the traveling lift has to rise to a great height while remaining stable, and is consequently very heavy, in fact one or more orders of magnitude heavier than the vehicle that it carries. Therefore, the energy requirements for managing the park­ing silo are large.
  • the entire parking silo is paralyzed, and not only are the users unable to consign a motorcar, but cannot even collect a previously consigned motorcar.
  • the open construction of such an parking silo allows a fire to quickly propagate from one motorcar to the next, with no possibility of promptly removing adjacent motorcars.
  • the open, high-rise construction also gives rise to the further problem that a child or other not fully able person, who should happen to be forgotten aboard the parked vehicle, would remain imprisoned until such time as the traveling lift arrives; or the child could, even worse, step out of the car and possibly fall from a great height.
  • the main object of the invention is therefore to provide a garage of the above kind, which is completely automatic, which avoids substantially all of the drawbacks of the prior art, and in par­ticular which avoids formation of waiting queues both at the en­trance and exit of motorcars, which reduces problems in case of breakdown either of parts of the garage or of single motorcars, and which requires limited personnel and a very small energy con­sumption.
  • a multistorey automatic garage for motor vehicles comprising at least one reception floor accessible to vehicles and at least one parking floor, characterized in that it further comprises:
  • a garage according to the invention comprises a building 10, e.g. of reinforced concrete, comprising several superposed floors 12, 14, 16, 18, ..., floor 12 being a car reception floor, and the other floors 14, 16, 18, ... being parking floors.
  • the building 10 is shown as an overground construction in the Figures, and the reception floor is the lowest floor in the building, an underground construction can also be envisaged, where the reception floor is topmost, or a mixed con­struction, having a number of floors above and the other beneath the reception floor.
  • the floors are connected by elevators such as 20, extending through all the floors in a central position.
  • the reception floor 12 has two entrance gates 22, 24, under control of traffic lights such as 25, and two exit gates 26, 28.
  • a central area 30 of recep­tion floor 12 around elevator 20 is depressed, thus forming two opposite steps of quays 32, 34.
  • Rows of railings 36 arranged side by side on each of the quays 32, 34, define short guide lanes or consignment docks 38, 40, 42, ..., on quay 34, and access to each dock is controlled by a movable barrier such as 50, 52.
  • skids or pallets such as 54, 56, 58, ... (further described below) are normally placed in abutment to respective docks 38, 40, 42, ..., of quay 32, acting as a consignment quay for the motorcars (as it will appear below), so that a motorcar such as 60 can ride onto a desired skid by its own power, while being driven by the user himself.
  • the docks of quay 34 acting as a car return quay, are normally empty, but, as it will appear below, skids such as 62, 64 may also be placed in abutment to these docks during operation of the system.
  • each skid comprises a platform 70 with two uprights 66, 68, the platform having a size adapted to easily encompass a motorcar.
  • the platform has tailbords 72, 74 and side­boards 76, 78 around its perimeter, in order to prevent a motorcar from accidentally falling from the skid, e.g. due to a wrong or negligent maneuver.
  • the tailboards 72, 74 are adapted to fold inwardly when the skid is abutted to a dock.
  • remotely controlled trucks or AGV trucks, for automatic guide vehicle, further described below
  • a cable 86 buried in the floor, as known per se, and adapted to ride under the platform of a desired skid in order to lift it and carry it.
  • a preferred truck has a platform 87 with four pivoting corner wheels 88 and two driving wheels 90, the axis of each of the latter wheels being horizontally pivotable under control of drive means 91, known per se.
  • the truck has lift­ing means 92, also known per se, adapted to raise supporting pads 93 to protrude above the platform 87, in order to lift a skid such as 54 off the ground.
  • Drive means 91 and lifting means 92 may be electrically operated from a rechargeable battery, not shown, and the battery may be recharged during idle periods of the truck.
  • FIG. 4 the plan of a parking floor such as 14 is shown.
  • Refer­ences 98, 100, ... indicate deposit or parking areas for respec­tive skids of the type mentioned above.
  • Trucks 102, 104, of the kind mentioned with reference to reception floor 12 are also placed on floor 14, and control cables 106 similar to cable 86 are buried in the floor.
  • a central computer 108 is connected for exchanging data with the control apparatus of the elevators, with the control cables for the trucks at the several floors, with the traffic lights, with the drives for the movable barrier at the reception floor, with the card distributors at the entrances, and with the card readers/markers near the barriers.
  • Computer 108 is programmed for execution of the following steps of management of the entire garage:
  • the computer may be prog­rammed for execution of checks of other card codes, e.g. to check whether payment has been made, or the like.
  • the computer Since the operating process described above would quickly exhaust the skids from the consignment docks, while empty skids would accumulate at the return docks, the computer is also programmed for gradually transferring empty skids from the return quay to the consignment quay, by means of an available truck. Should the skids at the consignment quay be exhausted without a corresponding descent of skids to the return quay, the computer is further prog­rammed for causing empty skids to be moved down from the parking floors.
  • the invention envisages another method of managing the system.
  • the computer By means of traffic lights and/or traffic control barriers, not shown, the computer periodically switches the functions of both quays.
  • the vehicles are initially allowed access to one of the quays, which has previously been equipped with empty skids. Veh­icles will simultaneously be returned at the other quay, and a number of empty skids will accumulate there, as freed in turn by the vehicles that are being returned to their owners.
  • Access of vehicles to the quay that had served for consignment heretofore is then stopped, and the incoming vehicles are diverted, by operating suitable traffic lights and/or barriers, to the quay which pre­viously served for returns.
  • the vehicles to be returned are now brought to the quay that used to act as consignment quay.
  • the computer will be programmed for causing empty skids to move down from the parking floors, as needed.
  • the user may be required, when collecting a motorcar, to insert his card in an automatic money-collecting machine (known per se), and to introduce currency or its equivalent as requested by the same machine, based on the parking time and/or other data, such as subscription discounts or the like, which may be magnetic­ally marked on the card.
  • the managing program will withhold the return of the motor car until payment is made.
  • the garage will normally be equipped with conventional safety features such as protection railings, warning signs and lights, and the like.
