Definitions

  • This invention describes a device for conveying automobiles on the same level, for use with lifts operating in multi-storey car-parks or in car-­washes.
  • This device may also be used to good advantage in mechanised single-storey car-parks where cars are conveyed by chain means, in which case the device will either be positioned at car entry or exit position of the chain drive means. No further reference will be made to this particular use since it will be covered by the general description.
  • Most multi-storey car-parks are rectangular-shaped and parking-lots are usually constructed in reinforced concrete floors, laid out side-by side and one above the other like two shelves facing each other across a central area where a conveyor-­elevator is in operation moving the cars in or out as they are left or picked up.
  • the conveyor-­elevator is usually horizontally mobile on appropriate rails and equipped with a lift to support the car that can be moved up and down.
  • a turntable-elevator consisting of a body or tower, extending vertically to the ground, rotating around its own axis and centrally fitted with the afore-mentioned lift; the turntable-elevator is thus able to position cars radially around floors in a radial layout, preferably in reinforced concrete.
  • One of these techniques is a system whereby cars are conveyed either on pallets or platforms.
  • the driver drives the car onto one of these pallets located at the car-park entrance, s/he switches off the engine, leaving the car with the brake on and doors closed, the pallet, with the car still on it, is then pulled onto the lift and taken to an appropriate parking-place.
  • This system of moving pallets is used in automated warehouses and pallet size may be standardized or varied according to any car size whatsoever.
  • the automated mechanism used is basically the same as that used in mechanised warehouses. However, a lot of time is wasted in manoeuvring, since the empty pallets also have to be moved around and construction costs are high as one pallet is needed per car.
  • the driver leaves the car at the car-park entrance in neutral gear with the brakes off, and the vehicle is moved on its own wheels by a carriage, this carriage having independent drive and moving from the lift to the car and the parking-places, being equipped either with retractable idler rollers or with a lifting mechanism acting on a pair of wheels.
  • This carriage extends outwards from the lift and travels under the car parked at the car-park entrance, and is positioned, by means of appropriate sensors, and hooks onto the car and conveys the car onto the lift. Subsequently with the same backward or forward movement, the car is released at the parking-place.
  • Conveyor carriage height has to be greater than the distance between the bottom of the car and the floor the car wheels are touching, so the carriage must be embedded beneath the running surface both on the elevator-­platform and on all the parking lots, consequently the height of the various storeys of the car-park must be greater, resulting in increased overall car-park size and consequently increased costs.
  • Complicated drive and conveying mechanisms prevent the carriage from being shielded by any protective covering, so it cannot be used in the open air.
  • the large overall dimensions of the carriage itself prevent the lift-surface from being used for car-park ventilation, as is easily done in car-parks with open air entrances and exits at ground level.
  • this invention resolves the afore-mentioned disadvantages with a device for conveying cars, consisting of a first moving guide supported by a series of fixed brackets, adjacent and parallel to one of the long sides of a lift, and a second moving guide, the same length as the first one, connected to a tube and running on the first moving guide by means of a first carriage moving along the second moving guide.
  • a second carriage runs along the second moving guide, supporting a plate with a pair of idler rollers with horizontal axes pivoting on it.
  • First and second chain drive means move the first and second carriage, causing the second guide to travel outwards on each of the short sides of the lift, also enabling the plate to move freely; the rollers are controlled by means causing them to alternate between the hold and the release position on one wheel of the car.
  • this system for aligning and conveying cars may be used with all cars, regardless of tread and wheelbase, without any complicated sensors or drive mechanisms, consequently simplifying construction, reducing costs and increasing operating safety; - neither minimum floor height nor parking-place width will have to be increased; - the very small dimensions of the device mean that most of the elevator-platform grid serves as natural ventilation to the car-park, allowing car-­silos to be designed without any above ground projections, or ramps to be designed of a minimum length that would not allow for the construction of more than one car-park side-by-side; - the car can enter on the short side of the lift and leave on the opposite side, very little manoeuvring time is involved since part of the dead time in moving the conveyor-elevator unit is taken up with part of the horizontal manoeuvres;
  • this conveying device is to be used in an underground multi-storey car-park with access to the open air at entry level (its total surface area being marked as 100 in Fig. 1) and which, in the case described here, is cylindrically-shaped.
  • the centre of this car-park, 100 has a vertical seat containing a moving and conveying device, in the case described here a turntable-elevator, 1, complete with lift, 3, which is only shown at entry level.
  • a moving and conveying device in the case described here a turntable-elevator, 1, complete with lift, 3, which is only shown at entry level.
  • a turntable-elevator 1, complete with lift, 3, which is only shown at entry level.
  • This lane, 22, has a pair of guides, 23, and the wheels of one side of the car, 2, to be parked, pass between these guides, usually the left side of the vehicle because it is easier for the driver to align the car at the entry point; furthermore, the front left wheel, having already been mentioned as the side chosen for alignment, is positioned on a small wedge, 24, constructed inside the floor of the entry lane, 22: in this way only one wheel of the car, 2, has been accurately positioned as regards the lift, 3, thus enabling this invention to work perfectly, regardless of the wheelbase or tread of the vehicle.
  • the lift, 3, is equipped with means, 5, shown in their total surface area in Fig. 1, for conveying the car, 2, on the same level, either from the small entry lane, 22, (or from the parking-place, 4) to the lift or vice versa.
  • These means, 5, consist of a first moving guide, 7, extending for the entire length of the lift, 3 and supported by a series of staffs, 8, fixed to the surface of the lift, 3.
  • This first guide, 7, is parallel to the long side of the lift, 3, being located on one side of the lift (on the left side in Fig. 1) so as to be outside the area defined by the wheels and the outline of the car, 2.
  • This first moving guide, 7, is C-shaped in cross-section, with the open side facing the inside of the lift, 3.
  • Second moving guide (or arm), 9, of approximately the same length as the first one, this too is C-shaped and has the open side facing the platform forming the surface of the lift, 3.
  • This second guide, 9, has a twist-resistant tube, 10, connected to and running alongside it.
  • This arm, 9, faces towards the inside of the lift, 3, and is connected to the first guide, 7, by means of a first carriage, 11, (see Figures 3 and 9) which has two supports, 11a, running inside the the first moving guide.
  • first chain drive means, 12, consisting of a first reducer-motor, 25, fixed to the top of the first guide, 7, moving a first continuous-link chain, 26, connected at its ends to carriages, 11.
  • a second carriage, 15, (which also has two end supports, 15a) runs inside the arm, 9, supporting a plate, 13, outside the arm, 9.
  • This plate, 13, supports a pair of idler rollers, 14, with horizontal axes freely pivoting around a corresponding pin, 14a, pivoting on the afore-mentioned plate, 13.
  • second chain drive means, 21, consisting of a second reducer-motor, 27, fixed to the side of the profiling, 10, moving a second continuous-link chain, 28, connected at its ends to the second carriage, 15.
  • Conveying means, 20, acting on said pins, 14a consist of a hydraulic cylinder, 20, moving two vertical pins, 16, connected to corresponding pins, 14a.
  • This cylinder, 20, therefore, has the task of moving the pins, 14a, (and consequently the rollers, 14) between the two extreme stable positions: namely the open position of release, whereby the rollers, 14, are co-axial to the arm, 9; and the second closed operating position, whereby the rollers, 14, are at right-angles to the arm (see arrows F in Fig. 8).
  • the pins, 14a come into contact with a profiling, 19, parallel to and facing the arm, 9; the top of this profiling has a recess, 18, housing a small wheel, 17, fitted to the free end of each of the pins, 14a. There is also a recess, 18, on the inside guide, 23, of the small entry lane, 22, as well as on the guide in the exit position.
  • Figures 11 and 12 show a constructional variant of the first and second chain means, 12 and 21, whereby the first chain means, 12, consists of a first chain, 80, connected at the side by means of horizontal plates, to the first carriage, 11, and continuously linked to a pair of first toothed wheels, 81a and 81b, keyed to the respective ends of a pair of first rods, 82a and 82b, coaxial and opposite each other.
  • first chain means, 12 consists of a first chain, 80, connected at the side by means of horizontal plates, to the first carriage, 11, and continuously linked to a pair of first toothed wheels, 81a and 81b, keyed to the respective ends of a pair of first rods, 82a and 82b, coaxial and opposite each other.
  • the rods, 82a and 82b are both fixed at their free ends to a single first piston, 83, located inside a hydraulic cylinder, 84, acting as a dividing wall between said rods and therefore forming two separate chambers in the cylinder, 84, so as to determine, by the controlled passage of fluid from one chamber to the other, or vice versa (thanks to a well-known kind of pump, either controlled by the operator or by the central system not shown here) the alternate, simultaneous movement, in either direction, of the pair of rods, 82a and 82b, and of the first carriage, 11.
  • the second chain means, 21, consists of a second chain, 85, connected at the top to the second carriage, 15, and continuously linked to a pair of second toothed wheels, 86a and 86b, keyed to the respective ends of a pair of second rods, 87a and 87b, coaxial and opposite each other.
  • the second rods, 87a and 87b are both fixed at their free ends to a single second piston, 88, located inside a second hydraulic cylinder, 89, acting as a dividing wall between said rods and therefore forming two separate chambers in the second cylinder, 89, so as to determine the passage of fluid from one chamber to the other, or vice versa, (also controlled by a second pump which is not shown here) the alternate, simultaneous movement in either direction, of the pair of rods, 87a and 87b, and of the second carriage, 15.
  • the device that has just been described and shown in Figures 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 works as follows: the car, 2, to be parked is left on the small entry lane, 22, to the car-park, 100 with the engine switched off and in neutral gear.
  • the lift, 3, is either already aligned (or aligns) with the small entry lane, 22, so the first reducer-motor, 25, is activated which, by means of the first chain, 26, causes the arm, 9, to travel out from the short side of the lift, 3, to the full extent of its total travel limited by the stop of one of the two supports, 11a, of the carriage, 11, against the end of the first guide, 7, (see Fig.
  • the first reducer-motor, 25, is then activated in the opposite direction, taking the arm, 9, inside the lift, 5, and at the same time the second reducer-motor, 27, is activated, pulling the second carriage, 15, towards the opposite side of the lift, 3, thus pulling the entire car, 2, onto the lift (see Figures 4 and 5), and stopping in the stable position once the rear left wheel, 2b, has engaged in the appropriate little wedge, 24m.
  • the lift, 3, will convey the car, 2, to the position opposite the parking-place, 4, by means of vertical transfer and rotation of the lift-support tower.
  • FIG 1 the exit point, shown in Figure 1, will not necessarily be opposite the entry point, but in whichever position the builders consider to be most convenient, in which case elevator rotation may also be made use of; figures 13, 14 and 15 and their respective letters show the various movements, in succession, that can be performed by this device: namely picking up the car (see figures 13a, 13b and 13c), parking the car on the same side as the one where it was left (see figures 14a and 14b) or parking the car on the opposite side from the one where it was left (see figures 15a, 15b and 15c). In rectangular car-silos this manoeuvre will also have to be done when parking cars in parking-­places in lots opposite the entry position.
  • Another drive system could also be fitted directly onto the afore-mentioned rollers, 14, which could therefore rotates independently, adhering to the car-wheels both during the pushing and the pulling motion, and also acting as a brake for the wheel, thus reducing manoeuvring time even further.
  • the entire device, and particularly the guides, 7 and 9, may also be protected by means of one or more casings or covers, 50, so that the invention could be used in the open air, this also being on account of the car being positioned at the side and the reduced dimensions of the entire manoeuvring device.
  • the elevator-platform connected to the rotation or conveyor support, shows the inevitable play needed for it to run freely along the vertical guides, and also considering that conveying cars from the lift-platform may cause still further play between the two, it is best to use the hydraulic unit to move the hydraulic cylinder, 20, and also to activate one or more small hydraulic pistons, 40, (one of these can be seen in Fig. 10) situated at the two ends of the lift-platform, 3.
  • These small pistons, 40 have a conical head which enters a centring sleeve, 41, set into the reinforced concrete casting of the parking-places, 4.
  • the small pistons leave the platform and, as they enter the fixed sleeves, eliminate any play, giving perfect alignment and locking between the mobile platform and fixed structure.
