Diese Vorrichtung hat den Nachteil, daß auf einer Breite, die der Breite von zwei nebeneinander liegenden Stellplätzen entspricht, eine Hubgasse erforderlich ist. Hierdurch wird die auf die Grundfläche der Vorrichtung bezogene Dichte der zur Verfügung stehenden Stellplätze begrenzt derart, daß auf einer Fläche, die zwei nebeneinander liegenden Stellplätzen und der hierfür erforderlichen Hubgasse entspricht, in jedem Stockwerk der Vorrichtung maximal zwei Fahrzeuge abgestellt werden können. Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Dichte der Stellplätze zu erhöhen, so daß ein noch raumsparenderes Abstellen von Fahrzeugen möglich wird. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Vorrichtung zum raumsparenden Abstellen von Kraftfahrzeugen mit Merkmalen nach dem Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. This device has the disadvantage that a lifting lane is required over a width which corresponds to the width of two adjacent parking spaces. As a result, the density of the available parking spaces, based on the base area of the device, is limited in such a way that a maximum of two vehicles can be parked on each floor of the device on an area corresponding to two parking spaces lying next to one another and the lifting lane required for this. The invention is based on the object of increasing the density of the parking spaces, so that even more space-saving parking of vehicles is possible. This object is achieved according to the invention by a device for space-saving parking of motor vehicles with features according to claim 1.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, magnetic clutches are provided, which are designed in the form of two opposing steel plates, which are magnetized for power transmission with the aid of suitable electromagnets. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the chain conveyors, which are used for the horizontal further transport of the pallets, are designed in the form of two chains running in parallel (e.g. according to the chain principle of a bicycle chain), which take up the moment that results from the conveyor rod.
Dabei wird die Palettenschubstange (Mitnehmerstange) auf den Ketten montiert. Die Schubnische besteht lediglich aus einer Ausnehmung im Rahmen der Palette. Über diese Nische erfolgt die Kraftübertragung von der Mitnehmerstange zur Palette. The pallet push rod (driver rod) is mounted on the chains. The drawer niche consists only of a recess in the frame of the pallet. The power transmission from the drive rod to the pallet takes place via this niche.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung sind Mittel zur Zwischenlagerung vorübergehend nicht benötigter Paletten außerhalb der Regalwagen vorgesehen. Diese sind vorzugsweise in Form von Stapelspeichern mit Hubtischen (HT) zur Aufnahme bzw. Freigabe von Paletten ausgebildet. Durch diese Maßnahme müssen vorübergehend nicht benötigte Paletten nicht in die Lagersysteme (Regalwagen) zurückgebracht werden, sondern können außerhalb der Lagersysteme unter Vorrat gehalten werden. According to a further preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, means for temporarily storing pallets that are temporarily not required are provided outside the shelf trolleys. These are preferably designed in the form of stacked stores with lifting tables (HT) for picking up or releasing pallets.

Figur 1 zeigt eine erste Variante einer Palette, wie sie im Zusammenhang mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung verwendet wird, und Bestandteil der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist. Gemäß eines bevorzugten Ausfüh- rungsbeispiels der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung haben die Paletten beispielsweise Abmessungen von 2,10 m x 5,10 m. Aufgrund der Struktur der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung können dabei Seitenräume für den Ein- und Ausstieg entfallen. Figure 1 shows a first variant of a pallet, as used in connection with the device according to the invention, and is part of the device according to the invention. According to a preferred embodiment Example of the device according to the invention, the pallets have dimensions of 2.10 mx 5.10 m, for example. Because of the structure of the device according to the invention, side spaces for entry and exit can be dispensed with.
Die erste Variante der Palette gemäß Figur 1 ist vorzugsweise als Riffelblechplatte mit Vorgabe der Fahrspur (z. B. durch eine farbliche Kennzeichnung) oder Absenkung der Fahrspur ausgebildet. Die exakte Stellung des Fahrzeugs auf der Platte in Querrichtung ist nicht entscheidend, aber wünschenswert. The first variant of the pallet according to FIG. 1 is preferably designed as a checker plate with a predefined lane (for example by means of a color marking) or lowering of the lane. The exact position of the vehicle on the plate in the transverse direction is not critical, but is desirable.
In Längsrichtung wird über Fotozellen die Länge des Fahrzeugs beim Auffahren erfaßt. Die gewünschte Parkstellung in Längsrichtung wird optisch angezeigt. Das Fahrzeug wird mit Feststellbremse geparkt, so daß der Fahrer daraufhin das Fahrzeug verlassen kann. Figur 2 zeigt eine zweite Variante der Paletten, die im Prinzip wie die erste Variante ausgebildet ist, wobei jedoch im Bereich der Achsen vorne und hinten Hubroste vorgesehen sind. Nach dem Abstellen des Fahrzeugs wird die Mittellage des Fahrzeugs in Querrichtung durch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung automatisch hergestellt. Dabei werden die Hubroste horizontal verschoben, bis das Fahrzeug zentriert ist und anschließend werden die Hubroste zur Fixierung des Fahrzeugs abgesenkt. Aufgrund dieser Maßnahme kann die Palettenbreite gegenüber der Breite der Paletten der ersten Variante reduziert werden. Das Auffahren auf die Palette gestaltet sich dabei völlig problemlos. The length of the vehicle is recorded in the longitudinal direction via photocells when driving up. The desired parking position in the longitudinal direction is visually displayed. The vehicle is parked with the parking brake so that the driver can then leave the vehicle. FIG. 2 shows a second variant of the pallets, which is designed in principle like the first variant, but with lifting grates provided in the area of the axles at the front and rear. After the vehicle has been parked, the central position of the vehicle in the transverse direction is automatically established by the device according to the invention. The lifting grates are moved horizontally until the vehicle is centered and then the lifting grids are lowered to fix the vehicle. Due to this measure, the pallet width can be reduced compared to the width of the pallets of the first variant. The loading onto the pallet is completely problem-free.
Wie in Figur 1 schematisch dargestellt, sind alle Paletten in den Eckpunkten mit Rollen versehen. Die Paletten werden, wie in Figur 3 dargestellt, in Stapelwagen abgelegt. Diese Stapelwagen SW sind Stahlkonstruk- tionen, die beidseitig zu den Mittelstielen MS auf Auslegern AL die Paletten PL aufnehmen können. Dabei ist der Abstand übereinander liegender Ausleger vorzugsweise 2,20 m. Die Stapelwagen laufen auf Schienen. Die Anzahl der Stapeletagen ergibt sich aus der Gesamtanlage der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung, beträgt vorzugsweise jedoch maximal 6 bis 8 Ebenen. As shown schematically in Figure 1, all pallets are provided with rollers in the corner points. As shown in FIG. 3, the pallets are placed in stacking trolleys. These SW stacking trolleys are made of steel tions that can accommodate the pallets PL on both sides of the MS central supports on AL outriggers. The distance between the cantilevers is preferably 2.20 m. The stacking trolleys run on rails. The number of stack levels results from the overall system of the device according to the invention, but is preferably a maximum of 6 to 8 levels.
Wie in Figur 5 gezeigt, besteht die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung aus mehreren Stapelwagen SW (z. B. 10 As shown in FIG. 5, the device according to the invention consists of several stacking trolleys SW (e.g. 10th
Stück) , die nebeneinander stehen und über Magnetkupplungen MK verbunden sind (Fig. 5) . Auf einer Grundfläche von ca. 51 m x 7 m, entsprechend 357 m2 können beispielsweise 20 Fahrzeuge pro Etage untergebracht wer- den, d. h. bei z. B. 7 Etagen ca. 140 Fahrzeuge. Piece), which stand side by side and are connected via magnetic couplings MK (Fig. 5). For example, 20 vehicles per floor can be accommodated on a floor area of approx. 51 mx 7 m, corresponding to 357 m 2 . B. 7 floors approx. 140 vehicles.
Für je 10 Stapelwagen wird eine Hubgasse HGS vorgesehen. Die Anzahl der Hubgassen bestimmt die Förderkapazität der Anlage. So kann zur Veränderung der Förderka- pazität der Anlage eine andere Zahl von Hubgassen vorgesehen werden. An den Stirnseiten SS der Anlage sind Schub- und Zugstangen SZ vorgesehen, mit denen die Stapelwagen SW auf den Schienen verschoben werden können. Aus den Figuren 5, 6, 7 und 8 ist ersichtlich, wie durch Zusammenschieben der Stapelwagen, das Schließen der Magnetkupplungen, das Öffnen der Magnetkupplung im Bereich der gewünschten Hubgasse und das Öffnen der Hubgasse durch Ziehen der Stapelwagen eine Hubgasse an jeder gewünschten Stelle, d. h. zwischen einem beliebi- gen Paar von Stapelwagen geöffnet werden kann. A lifting aisle HGS is provided for every 10 stacking trolleys. The number of lifting aisles determines the conveying capacity of the system. A different number of lifting aisles can thus be provided to change the conveying capacity of the system. Push and pull rods SZ are provided on the front sides SS of the system, with which the stacking trolleys SW can be moved on the rails. From FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8 it can be seen how, by pushing the stacking trolleys together, closing the magnetic couplings, opening the magnetic coupling in the region of the desired lifting aisle and opening the lifting aisle by pulling the stacking trolleys, a lifting aisle at any desired location, i . H. can be opened between any pair of stacking trolleys.
Für das Heben der Paletten mit den Fahrzeugen stehen Hebeanlagen zur Verfügung, die auf beiden Seiten der Stapelwagen auf Schienen laufen und selbständig über die gesamte Anlagenlänge fahrbar sind. Wie in Figur 9 und in Figur 10 dargestellt, verfügen die Hubwagen über eine kettengetriebene Hubeinrichtung mit einer Hubga- bei, die mit schwenkbaren Auslegern ausgerüstet ist, um die Hubwagen vor den Stapelwagen fahren zu können. Je nach Anzahl der Stapeletagen werden die Wagen im oberen Bereich zusätzlich über Rollen geführt oder können als selbständig fahrende Einheiten ausgebildet werden. Lifting systems are available for lifting the pallets with the vehicles. They run on rails on both sides of the stacking trolleys and can be moved independently over the entire length of the system. As shown in FIG. 9 and in FIG. 10, the lifting trucks have a chain-driven lifting device with a lifting with, which is equipped with swiveling booms to drive the pallet truck in front of the stacking truck. Depending on the number of stacking levels, the trolleys are additionally guided over rollers in the upper area or can be designed as independent units.
Die Arbeitsvorgänge der Hubeinrichtung sind in den Figuren 11 und 12 a-c in schematischer Weise dargestellt. Während die Hubgasse hergestellt wird, fährt der Hubwagen in die Position der angewählten Palette. Die Ausleger der Hubgabel werden aufgeklappt. Die Hubgabel greift die Palette von unten an. Die Palette wird seitwärts aus dem Regal gefahren, gleichzeitig wird die Hubgasse hergestellt und in der Hubgasse werden die Paletten in die Ebene des Straßenniveaus (+- 0,0 Ebene) gefahren. The operations of the lifting device are shown in Figures 11 and 12 a-c in a schematic manner. While the lifting aisle is being manufactured, the lifting truck moves into the position of the selected pallet. The arms of the lifting fork are opened. The lifting fork attacks the pallet from below. The pallet is moved sideways out of the shelf, at the same time the lifting aisle is made and in the lifting aisle the pallets are moved to the level of the street level (+ - 0.0 level).
Figur 11 zeigt in schematischer Weise die Übergabe der Fahrzeuge auf den Paletten in die Straßenniveauebene (+- 0,0 Ebene). Das Schienensystem SSY auf der +- 0,0 Ebene besteht aus Einzelstücken von ca. 2,40 m Länge. Zur Übergabe wird das Schienenstück im Bereich der Hubgasse nach außen gefahren. Die Palette wird über die Schienenoberkante gehoben (Figur 12b). Das Schienenstück wird in die Ausgangsposition zurückgefahren FIG. 11 shows schematically the transfer of the vehicles on the pallets to the street level level (+ - 0.0 level). The SSY rail system on the + - 0.0 level consists of individual pieces of approximately 2.40 m in length. The rail section is moved outwards in the area of the lifting aisle for transfer. The pallet is lifted over the top edge of the rail (Figure 12b). The rail piece is moved back to the starting position
(Figur 12c). Die Palette wird schließlich über die Rollen auf dem Schienenelement abgesetzt.  (Figure 12c). The pallet is finally placed on the rail element via the rollers.
Nach der Übergabe wird die Palette auf den Schienen horizontal zum Ende der Anlage transportiert, vorzugsweise über seitlich verlaufende Kettenförderer (Figur 13). Der Kettenförderer KF besteht aus zwei parallel verlaufenden Kettensystemen KS zu beiden Seiten der horizontalen Verschubbahn. Auf den Ketten sind Schubstangen PSS vorgesehen, die in die Schubnischen PSN der Paletten PL greifen und die Paletten befördern. Auszulagernde und einzulagernde Paletten PL fahren auf einer Trasse . After the transfer, the pallet is transported horizontally on the rails to the end of the system, preferably via chain conveyors running to the side (FIG. 13). The chain conveyor KF consists of two parallel chain systems KS on both sides of the horizontal sliding path. Push rods PSS are provided on the chains, which reach into the niches PSN of the pallets PL and convey the pallets. Pallets PL to be removed and stored move on one Route.
Soll die einzulagernde Palette zum Absenken gestoppt werden, wird die Schubstange aus der Palette ausgeklinkt und die Weiterbeförderung anderer Paletten kann fortgeführt werden. If the pallet to be stored is to be stopped for lowering, the push rod is released from the pallet and the further transport of other pallets can be continued.
Um die Paletten aus dem Mittelbereich in die Seitenbereiche zu fahren, werden die Paletten über die +- 0,0Ebene (Straßenniveau) gehoben. Wie in Figur 15 dargestellt, fahren Träger mit Schienen unter die Palettenrollen. Daraufhin werden die Paletten auf den Schienen abgesetzt. Schließlich werden die Paletten durch eine kettengetriebene Schubeinheit verzogen, welche vorzugsweise durch Magnetkupplung angedockt wird. In order to move the pallets from the central area to the side areas, the pallets are lifted above the + - 0.0 level (street level). As shown in Figure 15, carriers with rails move under the pallet rollers. The pallets are then placed on the rails. Finally, the pallets are warped by a chain-driven thrust unit, which is preferably docked by means of a magnetic coupling.
Bei der Anordnung einer Ein- oder Ausfahrt (EA) für die Lagersysteme ist es von Vorteil, wenn Paletten, die momentan nicht benörigt werden, nicht in die Lagersysteme zurückgebracht werden müssen, sondern anderweitig unter Vorrat gehalten werden können, bis sie benötigt werden. Durch eine solche Maßnahme läßt sich die Zugriffsgeschwindigkeit in dem Parksystem weiter verbessern. When arranging an entry or exit (EA) for the storage systems, it is advantageous if pallets that are not currently required do not have to be returned to the storage systems, but can otherwise be kept in stock until they are needed. The access speed in the parking system can be further improved by such a measure.
Zu diesem Zweck sind bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung unterhalb der Ein- bzw. Ausfahrten (EA) Hubtische (HT) angeordnet, die im Falle einer Überzahl von Paletten abgesenkt werden und damit Paletten einlagern bzw. bei einem Fehlen von Paletten dem System wieder Elemente zur Verfügung stellen können (Fig. 20, 21, 22). Derartige Hubtische sind dem Fachmann, auch wenn diese über elektrische Antriebe verfügen, bekannt. For this purpose, in a preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention, lifting tables (HT) are arranged below the entrances and exits (EA), which are lowered in the event of an excessive number of pallets and thus store pallets or, in the absence of pallets, the system again elements can provide (Fig. 20, 21, 22). Such lifting tables are known to the person skilled in the art, even if they have electric drives.
Im Falle des Längstransports von Paletten (Fig. 14) ist eine Rückführung bzw. Zuführung von Paletten von der Ausfahrtstation zur Einfahrtstation von Vorteil (Fig. 22). Die Paletten werden dabei z.B. über vertikale und horizontale Kettenförderer bewegt. Das Aufstapeln (Vorhalten) der Paletten erfolgt hierbei vorzugsweise innerhalb der Kettenfördersysteme. In the case of the longitudinal transport of pallets (Fig. 14) is a return or supply of pallets from the Exit station to the entry station is an advantage (Fig. 22). The pallets are moved, for example, via vertical and horizontal chain conveyors. The pallets are preferably stacked (held) within the chain conveyor systems.
