The document US 2745561 discloses a generic motor vehicle parking and parking facility. The following features of claim 1 are known from this document:

• a motor vehicle parking and parking facility with a shelf assembly having a plurality of boxes for receiving the cars, wherein the boxes are approached via a vertical conveyor and are operable, further comprising an input and Ausfahrraum for the cars, wherein the vertical conveyor via a bottom opening each having access to the entry and exit spaces, wherein means for locking a transport and storage pallets are provided in the region of the bottom opening, and the bottom opening is provided a telescopic sliding and lifting device which a compartment for receiving an empty transport and storage pallet has, with this empty pallet hineinbeweg- in the bottom opening and is removable, the vertical conveyor takes over a head occupied with a car range from the entry and the car with pallet in a free box sets and occupied with a car range for Ausfahrr transferred.

From the EP 1 177 357 B1 a garage for passenger cars with a garage housing and a parking space is already known. The known garage has two juxtaposed, lowered from the entry position into an intermediate station, in the intermediate station laterally outwardly movable comb halves, which comprise by slicing at a distance separate moldings. Furthermore, an entry and exit cabin and a respective cabin associated with vertical conveyor with a lifting device available. As a lifting device a carrier rake is used, which is vertically and horizontally movable. This Tragerechen as lifting device is guided by the slits and can protrude with a partial length of the aforementioned comb halves, so that the passenger car is receivable. After lateral outward movement of the comb halves of the passenger car can be delivered by means of the vertical conveyor to a provided with a comb-shaped bottom parking box or even such a parking box.

In this known garage, the comb halves realized by the moldings form the sole closure elements for the vertical opening of the entry and exit cabins. These moldings should be able to quickly release or close the vertical opening in order to perform the parking operations in a shorter time.

A disadvantage of this known garage assembly is the required penetration of the carrier rake through the slits of the comb halves. In addition, there is a risk that adhering dirt, even in the form of snow and ice in the winter months, get into the garage interior, drain there and lead to contamination or damage in the Regalanordnung undern befindlicher cars.

From the foregoing, it is therefore an object of the invention to provide a further developed Kraftwagenabstell- and parking facility with a shelf assembly having a plurality of boxes for receiving cars, with the help of the time for receiving and Wiederzurverfügungstellung a motor vehicle can be shortened and with the On the other hand, it is possible to catch adhering to a motor vehicle, in particular fluid contaminants that can be solved or stored during storage, safely, without causing any impairment on the shelf side befindlicher befindlicher cars or other facilities.

It is another object of the invention to provide a method by which a time-optimized automatic operation of a car parking and parking facility can be done.

The object of the invention is achieved with respect to the car parking and parking device with the teaching according to feature combination of claim 1.

With regard to the method, reference is made to the sequence and definition of claim 7.

The subclaims include at least expedient refinements and developments of the basic idea according to the invention.

Starting from a car parking and parking facility with a shelf assembly which has a plurality of boxes for receiving the cars, the boxes are approached via a vertical conveyor and can be operated, further comprising fully separate entry and exit spaces for the cars, the vertical conveyor has access to the entry and exit spaces through a bottom opening, according to the invention means for locking a bottom closed transport and storage pallet are provided in the region of the respective bottom opening.

These means for locking can e.g. be implemented as hydraulically extendable and retractable bolt.

Per bottom opening a telescopic sliding and lifting device is provided, which has a compartment for receiving an empty transport and storage pallet, said empty pallet hineinbeweg- in the respective bottom opening and is removable.

This movement of the empty pallet is done by the constructive solution of the sliding and lifting device, which is able to move the pallet to the bottom opening horizontally and there to raise or lower in the vertical direction.

The vertical conveyor in turn comprises a compartment for receiving an empty transport and storage pallet, from which compartment the storage pallet can be moved to the telescopic shifting and lifting device or its receiving compartment.

At least one of the boxes has an additional space for storing and keeping ready another empty pallet, wherein the empty pallet can be removed from the vertical conveyor or moved into this box space. Conveniently, to shorten the provisioning time of an empty pallet for receiving a motor vehicle in each box, such a space for storing and keeping ready another empty pallet is formed.

The vertical conveyor is able to take over a head of a occupied with a car range from the entry area and depose the car with pallet in a free box. Also, the vertical conveyor is adapted to a occupied with a car pallet to the extension space transfer, wherein the empty pallet is taken in the extension of the TeleskopVerschiebe- and lifting device in the receiving compartment to be transferred at a next start-up cycle of the vertical conveyor in its receiving compartment.

As already mentioned, the pallets preferably have a closed bottom surface with a drainage opening.

When retracting the respective pallet, e.g. In the receiving compartment of the telescopic sliding and lifting device, this drainage opening can be released to connect to a stationary drainage connection. This makes it possible to absorb meltwater without fouling the garage space or impairment of parked vehicles and pass the sewer.

The mentioned entry and exit spaces may be located within a closed cabin or at least have a weather protection roofing.

The shelf assembly is preferably formed underfloor or underground together with its vertical conveyor.

On the vertical conveyor horizontal movement arrangement is present for horizontal displacement of the occupied with a car respective pallet, which may consist of a carriage with transfer station.

The method of automatically operating a car parking and parking facility as described above proceeds as follows.

First, an empty pallet with the aid of the telescopic shifting and lifting device is introduced into the area of the bottom opening of the entry area and then locked.

After the entry clearance has been released, a motor vehicle can be moved onto the pallet.

The vertical conveyor then controls the entry space and moves under the pallet on which the car is located, at the same time an entrained empty pallet is transferred to the receiving compartment of the telescopic sliding and lifting device.

After unlocking the vertical conveyor sets the palette occupied by the car in an empty box, during which the telescopic sliding and lifting device uses its empty pallet in the free bottom opening with subsequent locking, so that the next car is movable on the pallet.

To deliver a motor vehicle this is moved together with the pallet from the vertical conveyor overhead to the bottom opening of the extension and there is a lock the pallet, with an optionally existing empty pallet from the receiving compartment of the telescopic sliding and lifting device is taken in the receiving compartment of the vertical conveyor. The vertical conveyor then moves to a next outsourced or einzulagernden motor vehicle.

After the extension of the motor vehicle from the extension space, the now empty pallet is taken after unlocking them by means of the telescopic displacement and lifting device in the receiving compartment.

The invention will be explained below with reference to an embodiment and with the aid of figures.

The top views Fig. 1 and 2 each show an entry space 1 and an extension space 2. In the entry space 1 according to Fig. 1 There is already a pallet 3, which is locked by means of bolts 4 and ready to receive a motor vehicle. In this state, the motor vehicle 5 can be moved to the pallet 3, ie retracted (see Fig. 2 ).

In the condition as shown Fig. 1 the extension space 2 is open. In the illustration after Fig. 2 the vertical conveyor has moved a pallet 3 with motor vehicle 5 in this bottom-side opening and there is the locking step by means of bolts 4. Thus, this car 5 is ready for the exit.

From the Fig. 3 to 8 can be seen that the car parking and parking facility is designed quasi in the sense of a high rack. This high-bay can be realized within an above-ground car park, but also underground.

A plurality of boxes 6, which are provided on both sides of a driving and moving path 7 for the vertical conveyor 8, take the vehicles to be parked on.

In a region below and at the side of a bottom-side opening 9 is a telescopic sliding and lifting device 10 is located. This lifting device 10 has a receiving compartment 11 for an empty pallet (see Fig. 3 , lower illustration).

The empty pallet can be removed from the receiving compartment 11 and moved by means of the telescopic sliding and lifting device 10 to the bottom opening 9 and locked there by means of bolts 4.

In this condition, i. the locked pallet 3, the motor vehicle 5 can drive in the entry area 1 on the pallet.

To move the motor vehicle 5 in a free box 6, the vertical conveyor 8 is now active. This moves under the pallet 3 with car 5 and simultaneously pushes a carried empty pallet 12 from its receptacle into the free receptacle 11 of the telescopic displacement and lifting device 10, so that for the next Einfahrzyklus an empty pallet is available.

After unlocking by releasing the bolt 4 occupied with the car pallet 3 is moved overhead from the vertical conveyor 8 in the corresponding next free box 6. When the vertical conveyor 8 has released the path of movement of the lifting device 10 with pallet 3 and motor vehicle 5, this ensures that the empty pallet 12 is moved to the bottom opening 9 and is locked there by means of the bolts 4. Thus, another motor vehicle can be moved into the entry space 1. After the empty pallet 12 has been locked, the telescopic shifting and lifting device 10 moves back to its original position and it is the track 7 for the vertical conveyor 8 free.

With regard to the extension process, the desired vehicle from the corresponding box 6 together with the associated pallet 3 is taken over by the vertical conveyor 8 and moved over the head to the open bottom-side opening 9 in the extension space 2. After positioning the pallet 3 in the appropriate position, the bolts 4 are transferred to their locking position, so that the corresponding pallet is secured. Simultaneously with the extension and locking of the bolt 4, the empty pallet 12 is removed from the telescopic sliding and lifting device 10 and the local receiving compartment and transferred into a receiving compartment of the vertical conveyor 8 (see the lower illustration Fig. 6 ).

It is now the car 5 extended ready for the secured range. 3

The vertical conveyor 8 can now be moved with recorded empty pallet 12 to the next outsourced vehicle or is able to pick up a car to be stored from the entry area.

When the motor vehicle 5 is extended, the now empty pallet 3 is taken from the extension space 2 in the receiving compartment 11 of the telescopic sliding and lifting device 10. For this purpose, the device 10 lifts under the empty pallet 12. After unlocking the bolt 4, the device 10 lowers and the empty pallet 12 enters the receptacle 11 (see sequence of representations in accordance with Fig. 8 ).
Now the extension space 2 is emptied and ready for the takeover of the next motor vehicle.

Like from the Fig. 3 to 8 can be seen, the respective boxes 6 still have a free space 15. In this free space 15, another empty or reserve pallet 3 can be moved in from the vertical conveyor 8 and removed from this.

To obtain a certain amount of liquid, e.g. absorb snow or ice entrained by the motor vehicle, the pallets preferably have a circumferential crimp or cantilever, so that a collecting space is formed. This crimp or cantilever is provided due to the available relatively large pallet area only with a small height, so there is no noticeable hindrance when driving the pallet with a car.
