Definitions

• the present invention relates to a robotized automatic storage (garage) process for vehicles or any heavy and bulky object, whether public or private.
• a robotized automatic storage (garage) process for vehicles or any heavy and bulky object, whether public or private.
• ⁇ J System consisting of nacelles suspended from one or two endless chains, in vertical or horizontal position.
• cl System consisting of a cylindrical building with a pivoting central plate e moving vertically.
• the present invention therefore aims to eliminate all these defects by the following means.
• the construction which can be made of concrete or metallic structure, will be of rectangular shape, of constant section, but of a length adapted to the dimensions of the land made available.
• the distance to be covered on the horizontal plane is variable, but longer and more complex.
• the automatic garage, object of the present invention will therefore separate any mechanical connection between the two movements, which will allow the lift to make several trips while the loads deposited at the different levels will move independently on the horizontal plane.
• the two movements will therefore be autonomous and independent.
• a vehicle in a sector of the horizontal plane, a vehicle will be able to leave its location in a direction perpendicular to the central longitudinal line, place itself on this line and begin its approach to the freight elevator, while another vehicle located in another sector, will, for example, be placed on its parking area.
• the freight elevator in working order will thus take over from the one who may be deficient.
• the mechanical assembly with horizontal displacement as explained above, will be made up of independent elements by sectors.
• This design will have the effect of reducing the power required to move a load, and reduce the risk of breakdowns in a car.
• the independence of mechanical movements and sectorization provide an additional possibility. Indeed, in the case of a maintenance visit, it is possible to program the neutralization of a part of the garage without stopping the normal operation of the rest of the installation.
• the computer will let the cars out of the sector concerned but direct the arrivals to another sector.
• the drive motors will be two speeds and two windings. In the event of a winding failure, the second will automatically take over.
• a person skilled in the art will thus be able to choose, for example to use self-propelled trays or carriages, individual or not, moving on rails or remote-controlled. It may also prefer tracks on rollers or rollers, or even roller chains.
• roller chains for horizontal movements, including in freight elevators
• the vehicles will be placed, by the user, on a platform equipped longitudinal guides to better center the car.
• Fixed chocks will position the front wheels.
• the entrances / exits will, for example, consist of a room (consisting of airlock) in which the freight elevator will arrive at level 0. On each side of the freight elevator, a platform will receive an arriving car, or drop off another car outgoing.
• the entry / exit room will be designed as an airlock. That is to say that a set of doors with opening and closing combined, will close the entrance of the freight elevator as long as the users have not evacuated the area in which the car has been deposited. Conversely, the door giving access to the drop-off or recovery area of a car will be closed during transfer operations in the freight elevator.
• a human presence detection device will complete the device.
• an anti-intrusion, anti-fire and template control device will ensure maximum security.
• This device also provides good protection against an incipient fire by self-extinguishing (lack of air) and the protection of neighboring vehicles.
• this device can be used to control the size of the car placed on the platform by the user, at the entrance to the parking lot.
• tray 1 (fig. 1) waiting in the entrance airlock, and that he has left the room, a cover, of dimensions adapted to the most bulky vehicles, descends and comes place yourself on the board.
• a sensitive device which can be placed, for example, under the lower edge 3 of the cover (feelers) or by a dynamometric device incorporated in the up and down mechanism 5 .
• this cover immediately rises and triggers an alarm, inviting the user to better position his car, or to clear the obstacle.
• Electronic payment in any case, will issue the ticket only after a positive check and fitting of the cap.
• This cap can be made with metals, composite materials or the like.
• the material or materials used must: a / Withstand shocks such as hammer, crank or any other blunt object. b / Resist sharp tools such as knife, cutter, screwdriver or others. c / Resist fire. Minimum Ml protection.
• This cover will be locked on the plate, for example by using pins 4 whose clearance length will be greater than the distance separating the top of the cover and the ceiling of the garage room. In this way, a person trapped under the cover will not be able to release it and go out into the parking area.
• the damage will be limited to the car concerned and the fire will not be able to communicate with other neighboring vehicles.
• Openings, unlockable from the outside, will allow firefighters to intervene, if necessary.
• a listening device placed under each tray, and connected to a remote monitoring system, can trigger an alarm (silent or not) in order to get the prisoner out.
• the filling rate of the garage object of the present invention, those skilled in the art can always choose a particular arrangement.
• the best arrangement of the vehicles will be, in the longitudinal direction and in at least two rows side by side on each side of the traffic aisle.
• the driveway will not be wider than the parking spaces.
• the occupancy rate of actual surfaces by parking spaces will be close to 80%.
• a vehicle entered by one of the freight elevators located will automatically exit in the opposite direction of its arrival, if the motorist calls his car to a freight elevator located on the right of the garage, due either to the internal circular movement of the cars, or by a reversal device incorporated into the horizontal or vertical movements inside the garage.
