Description

The present invention relates to a conveyor module for conveying pallets, a pallet for conveying with a conveyor module, an elevator unit, an elevator module, a storage module for pallets, a parking system and a method for operating an elevator module according to the preambles of the independent claims.

A generic parking system with the above components is for example off WO 2008/098584 known. In such a parking system, vehicles to be parked can be moved onto a pallet in a retractable floor. This pallet is then conveyed together with the motor vehicle by means of elevators in the vertical direction or by means of conveyor modules in the horizontal direction to a parking space. In such a parking system, for example, entirely on up and down ramps, passenger transport facilities (lifts, escalators, etc.), ventilation, lighting, etc. are omitted. As a result, a high vertical and horizontal compression of the parking space is achieved. In addition, eliminates the annoying search for a free parking space in the interior of the parking system and the recovery of a parked motor vehicle. Furthermore, a high level of safety of the parked motor vehicle is ensured since the personalized access minimizes the risk of maneuvering accidents, vandalism, theft and burglary.

The document DE 44 07 211 shows a conveyor module according to the preamble of claim 1, which can promote a pallet in two mutually perpendicular horizontal directions. The promotion in a first horizontal direction is accomplished by means of a roller conveyor, which has a plurality of rollers. The promotion in a second, the first funding direction vertical conveying direction is achieved by a belt conveyor having two endless belts. In order to be able to convey the pallet optionally in the first and the second conveying direction, the roller conveyor is movable in the vertical direction. In the higher position of the roller conveyor, the pallet can be conveyed in the first conveying direction. By lowering the roller conveyor, the pallet is lowered with the motor vehicle until it comes to rest on the endless belts of the belt conveyor. In this position, the pallet can be conveyed together with the motor vehicle in the second conveying direction.

However, such a delivery module has a number of disadvantages. For example, lifting the pallets with the car parked on them requires a considerable amount of energy and time. Furthermore, the drive for the roller conveyor must be able to withstand both the vertical lifting and lowering movement and the horizontal conveying movement of the weight of a parked on the pallet motor vehicle. In addition, a jerky raising or lowering of the pallet can lead to an alarm system of the motor vehicle being triggered unintentionally. Moreover, raising and lowering the pallet also causes increased wear on the underside thereof.

In addition, the conveyor module of the prior art on a fairly large height: namely, the roller conveyor must be on the one hand can be lowered so far that it is not in contact with the pallet in its lowered position; On the other hand, it must be able to be lifted to such an extent that in its raised position the belt conveyor is not in contact with the pallet. In each case, a certain minimum distance between roller conveyor or belt conveyor and pallet must be respected so as not to inadvertently get both conveyors into contact with the pallet at the same time due to the play in the mechanics. From a position in which both the roller conveyor and the belt conveyor are in contact with the pallet, the roller conveyor must therefore be movable in two opposite directions by this minimum distance.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to overcome the disadvantages of the known. In particular, a conveyor module is to be provided, which can convey a pallet in two mutually different horizontal conveying directions without raising or lowering the pallet with a motor vehicle parked on it for the transition from a first conveying direction to a second conveying direction.

• einen Grundrahmen,
• mindestens eine erste Fördereinrichtung zur Förderung mindestens einer Palette in einer ersten horizontalen Förderrichtung,
• mindestens eine zweite Fördereinrichtung zur Förderung der mindestens einen Palette in einer zweiten horizontalen, zur ersten Förderrichtung im Wesentlichen senkrechten Förderrichtung.

A first aspect of the present invention relates to a conveyor module for conveying pallets, in particular pallets for receiving at least one motor vehicle, comprising the following elements:

• a basic framework,
• at least one first conveying device for conveying at least one pallet in a first horizontal conveying direction,
• at least one second conveyor for conveying the at least one pallet in a second horizontal conveying direction substantially perpendicular to the first conveying direction.

In this case, at least one first drive region of the first conveying device is movable relative to the base frame in the vertical direction. The first drive region is designed such that it can be brought into contact with the pallet in order to this to promote in the first funding direction. According to the invention, at least one second drive region of the second conveying device is movable relative to the base frame and independently of the first conveying device in the vertical direction. The second drive region is designed such that it can be brought into contact with the pallet in order to convey it in the second conveying direction.

Such a conveyor module allows a particularly low overall height: Since both the first drive area and the second drive area can be moved vertically and independently, each of the two drive areas only has to be movable by the simple minimum distance which must be maintained between the respective non-conveying conveyor and the pallet is - in contrast to the prior art, in which a drive range must be movable in total by twice the minimum distance.

The first conveying device and the second conveying direction are designed to convey at least one pallet. In particular, they are designed to promote only a single pallet. On this pallet, a motor vehicle can be parked. However, the pallets are also suitable for conveying a stack of several stacked pallets.

Particularly preferably, the first conveyor can be selectively brought into a first conveying position or in a first ready position. In this case, the pallet in the first conveying position can be conveyed by means of the first conveying device in the first conveying direction. The pallet is thereby conveyed due to a first conveying movement of at least the first drive region of the first conveying device and due to a contact between at least the first driving region and the pallet. In the first standby position, however, is the Pallet not conveyed by means of the first conveyor in the first conveying direction.

Further preferably, the second conveyor can be brought either in a second conveying position or in a second ready position. In this case, the pallet in the second conveying position by means of the second conveyor in the second conveying direction can be conveyed. The pallet is thereby conveyed due to a second conveying movement of at least the second drive region of the second conveying device and due to a contact between at least the second driving region and the pallet. In contrast, in the second ready position, the pallet can not be conveyed by means of the second conveying device in the second conveying direction.

According to a preferred embodiment, the first drive region in the first conveying position is arranged higher relative to the base frame than in the first ready position. During the movement from the first delivery position to the first standby position, at least the first drive region is then lowered and lifted in a movement from the first standby position to the first delivery position. Alternatively or additionally, the second drive region is arranged higher in the second conveying position relative to the base frame than in the second ready position. During the movement from the second delivery position into the second ready position, at least the second drive region is then lowered and raised during a movement from the second ready position into the second delivery position.

With the aid of such a conveyor module, a pallet can first be conveyed in the first conveying direction. In a possible course of the transition from the promotion in the first Conveying direction to a promotion in the second conveying direction is the first conveyor in the first conveying position and performs the first conveying movement. The second conveyor is in the second ready position. In order to end a promotion in the first funding direction and initiate a promotion in the second funding facility, the first funding movement is first stopped.

Subsequently, the second conveyor is moved from the second standby position to the second conveying position. Until the end of this movement, the second drive region of the second conveyor is not in contact with the pallet. As a result, the pallet itself and any motor vehicle parked thereon are not moved vertically, in particular not raised, whereby a considerable time advantage can be achieved and energy can also be saved. A jerky lifting of the motor vehicle is avoided, which could lead to an unintentional triggering of an alarm system. In the second conveying position, at least the second drive region of the second conveying device is in contact with the pallet.

Thereafter, the first conveyor is brought from the first conveying position to the first standby position. During this movement, the pallet is still in contact with the second conveyor and thus is not even moved vertically, especially lowered. Finally, the pallet can be conveyed in the second conveying direction by means of the second conveying movement of the second conveying device.

According to a preferred embodiment, the first conveyor comprises at least a first drive belt. The upper strand of the first drive belt thereby forms at least a part of the first drive region. In the first funding position A pallet may then be conveyed to the first conveyor by contact with at least a portion of the upper run of the first drive belt in the first conveying direction.

According to a preferred embodiment, the first drive belt is a first toothed belt. The first toothed belt can be arranged so that it comprises first inner teeth on its inner side. By engaging the first inner teeth with at least one first drive gear, the first toothed belt can be set in a first conveying movement. Alternatively, the first drive belt may also have first outer teeth on its outer side. These first outer teeth can be brought to promote a pallet with a complementary first tooth profile on the pallet, for example, at the bottom, in engagement.

Most preferably, the first drive belt is designed as a first double toothed belt; this includes both first inner teeth on its inner side and first outer teeth on its outer side, which each fulfill the functions described above. Such a first double toothed belt allows a much more precise control of the conveyance of the pallet in the first conveying direction.

Particularly preferably, the second conveyor also comprises at least one second drive belt. The upper strand of the second drive belt thereby forms at least a part of the second drive region. In the second conveying position of the second conveyor, a pallet can then be conveyed by contact with at least a part of the upper run of the second drive belt in the second conveying direction.

According to a preferred embodiment, the second drive belt is a second toothed belt. The second toothed belt can be arranged so that it comprises second inner teeth on its inner side. By engaging the second inner teeth with at least one second drive gear, the second toothed belt can be set in a second conveying movement. Alternatively, the second drive belt may also have second outer teeth on its outside. These second outer teeth can be brought to promote a pallet with a complementary second tooth profile on the pallet, for example, at the bottom, in engagement.

Most preferably, the second drive belt is designed as a second double toothed belt; this includes both second inner teeth on its inner side and second outer teeth on its outer side, which each fulfill the functions described above. Such a second double-toothed belt allows a much more precise control of the conveyance of the pallet in the second conveying direction.

According to a preferred embodiment, at least the first drive region of the first conveying device can be moved in the vertical direction by means of at least one first eccentric lever. Alternatively or additionally, at least the second drive region can also be moved in the vertical direction by means of at least one second eccentric lever.

In the embodiments in which the first conveyor comprises a first drive belt, a first guide wheel can be arranged at the end of the first eccentric lever, which determines the vertical position of the upper run of the first drive belt. In embodiments in which the second conveyor comprises a second drive belt may end up the second eccentric lever may be arranged a second guide wheel, which determines the vertical position of the upper run of the second Antriebriemens. Such embodiments are structurally particularly simple.

• die erste Fördereinrichtung in der ersten Förderposition oder in der ersten Bereitschaftsposition befindet und
• die zweite Fördereinrichtung in der zweiten Förderposition oder in der zweiten Bereitschaftsposition befindet.

Preferably, the delivery module includes support means which are designed and arranged such that the pallet can be brought into contact with the support means when

• the first conveyor is in the first conveyor position or in the first standby position and
• the second conveyor is in the second conveyor position or in the second standby position.

Such support means allow the weight of the pallet and the motor vehicle parked thereon to be at least partially supported by these support means. This serves to relieve the load on the first conveyor and / or the second conveyor.

Moreover, it is possible for the first conveyor to be in the first standby position and the second conveyor to be in the second standby position at the same time, without the first drive area or the second drive area being in engagement with the pallet. Instead, the entire weight of the pallet and the motor vehicle can be absorbed by the support means. Thus, in a preferred sequence of the transition from a delivery in the first conveying direction to a delivery in the second conveying direction, it is possible first to move the first conveying device from the first conveying position to the first ready position and only then or subsequently to the second conveying device is moved from the second standby position in the second conveying position.

Preferably, the support means comprise vertically upwardly extending bumps. Along these elevations, the pallet can be guided horizontally, in particular in the first conveying direction and / or the second conveying direction.

Preferably, the elevations comprise balls, which are freely rotatably mounted relative to the base frame. Thus, for example, to promote the pallet in the first conveying direction, the pallet can be conveyed by means of the first conveyor. Even if a large part of the weight of the pallet and the motor vehicle is loaded on the balls of the support means, this contact causes only a small rolling friction resistance. Thus, the first conveyor must produce a much lower driving force.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a pallet for conveying with a conveying module as described above.

The pallet according to the invention contains at least one conveyor profile which is matched to the first drive region of the first conveyor device and / or the second drive section of the second conveyor device of the conveyor module such that the pallet can be conveyed in the first conveyor direction by means of the first conveyor device and / or by means of the second conveyor Conveyor can be conveyed in the second conveying direction.

According to a preferred embodiment, the conveyor profile comprises at least one tooth profile. In particular, the conveyor profile may comprise a first tooth profile, which is tuned to a first toothed belt of the first conveyor, that the pallet in the first conveying position can be brought at least partially into engagement with the first toothed belt and thereby conveyable in the first conveying direction. Alternatively or additionally, the conveyor profile may comprise a second tooth profile, which is tuned to a second toothed belt of the second conveyor, that the pallet in the second conveying position at least partially engageable with the second toothed belt and thereby conveyed in the second conveying direction.

In a preferred embodiment, the pallet further comprises a guide profile, which is tuned to elevations of the conveyor module such that the pallet can be guided horizontally due to an engagement of the elevations in the guide profile. Such a guide profile prevents the pallet in the promotion deviates laterally from the desired first and / or second conveying direction.

The guide profile may have first guide rails for lateral guidance in a conveying in the first conveying direction and / or second guide rails for lateral guidance in a conveying in the second conveying direction. The first guide rails and the second guide rails may intersect at crossing points. A transition from the promotion in the first conveying direction to the promotion in the second conveying direction is thus possible only in the relative positions between the pallet and conveyor module, in which the balls engage in the crossing points.

In a further preferred embodiment, the pallet has an upper side and a lower side, which are matched to one another such that a plurality of the pallets can be stacked on top of one another. This makes it possible to have a large number of pallets one above the other and thus save space, for example in a parking system, store, if they are temporarily not needed.

Another aspect of the invention relates to an elevator module for motor vehicles. The elevator module contains at least one vertically movable elevator unit, which is movable at least into a first vertical position and into a second vertical position that is different from the first vertical position. The elevator module likewise contains at least one first receiving module for receiving at least one first motor vehicle.

According to the invention, at least one of the first receiving modules comprises a conveying module as described above and / or at least one of the first receiving modules for receiving the first motor vehicle is formed by means of a pallet as described above.

With such an elevator module, a pallet can be moved horizontally within a receiving module, toward the receiving module or away from the receiving module.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the elevator unit has at least one second receiving module for receiving at least one second motor vehicle. The second receiving module is arranged above or below the first receiving module. Such an elevator module can therefore simultaneously accommodate two motor vehicles.

Particularly preferably, at least one of the second receiving modules also comprises a conveying module as described above and / or at least one of the second receiving modules for receiving the first motor vehicle by means of a pallet as described above educated. In particular, the first receiving module and the second receiving module can be identical.

1. a) Bereitstellung einer Aufzugseinheit des Aufzugmoduls in der ersten vertikalen Position;
2. b) Ermöglichen der Beladung eines ersten Aufnahmemoduls der Aufzugseinheit mit einem ersten Kraftfahrzeug;
3. c) vertikale Bewegung der Aufzugseinheit von der ersten vertikalen Position in die zweite vertikale Position;
4. d) Ermöglichen der Entladung des ersten Kraftfahrzeugs aus dem ersten Aufnahmemodul heraus, insbesondere in ein Zwischengeschoss oder in ein Ausfahrgeschoss;
5. e) Ermöglichen der Beladung eines zweiten Aufnahmemoduls der Aufzugseinheit mit einem zweiten Kraftfahrzeug, während die Aufzugseinheit in der zweiten vertikalen Position verbleibt.

Such an elevator module can be operated particularly advantageously according to a method which forms a further aspect of the invention. The process according to the invention is characterized by the following steps:

1. a) providing an elevator unit of the elevator module in the first vertical position;
2. b) enabling the loading of a first receiving module of the elevator unit with a first motor vehicle;
3. c) vertical movement of the elevator unit from the first vertical position to the second vertical position;
4. d) allow the discharge of the first motor vehicle out of the first receiving module, in particular in a mezzanine or in an outgoing floor;
5. e) Allowing the loading of a second receiving module of the elevator unit with a second motor vehicle, while the elevator unit remains in the second vertical position.

In step b), the first motor vehicle can be moved, for example, from an entry level of a parking system to the first receiving module. In this case, the first motor vehicle can be moved directly by the user on a pallet, which is already included in the provision according to step a) in the first receiving module. Alternatively, the first motor vehicle can already be parked on a pallet before loading and the pallet, together with the first motor vehicle parked thereon, can be moved to the first receiving module.

In step d), the first motor vehicle can then be unloaded from the first receiving module into a first mezzanine of the parking system. For this purpose, the pallet with the motor vehicle parked on it is preferably unloaded from the first receiving module to the first intermediate storey.

Finally, in step e), the second motor vehicle can be moved from the retracting floor to the second receiving module. Also in this step, the second motor vehicle can be moved directly by the user on a pallet, which is already included in the second receiving module. Alternatively, the second motor vehicle can already be parked on a pallet before loading and the pallet, together with the second motor vehicle parked thereon, can be moved to the second receiving module.

According to method step e), the second motor vehicle can already be unloaded when the elevator unit is still in the second vertical position. It is therefore not necessary that the elevator unit is moved back into the first vertical position before the second motor vehicle can be accommodated. In particular, the second motor vehicle can then already be moved to the second receiving module, while the first motor vehicle is moved from the first receiving module to the mezzanine.

In an optional further step f), the elevator unit can be moved from the second vertical position back to the first vertical position. The second motor vehicle can then be moved in a further optional step g) from the second receiving module, for example, to a further mezzanine floor, etc.

Overall, it is achieved by the method according to the invention that the motor vehicles moved from the retractable floor into the elevator unit are moved alternately into an upper and a lower mezzanine floor. Since no intermediate movement of the elevator unit is required, the possible cycle time is limited only by the duration of the movement of the elevator unit from the first vertical position to the second vertical position, and vice versa, as well as by the time within which the motor vehicles move to or from the receiver modules be moved away. This results in a considerable time advantage over known methods, in which an elevator unit with only a single receiving module is used. In model calculations, a clock frequency of 4 vehicles per minute could be determined.

As an alternative to the variant of the method described above, in step b) the first receiving module can also be loaded from a mezzanine with a first motor vehicle and be unloaded in step d) into an extending floor. This variant of the method leads to time advantages when extending the motor vehicles from the parking system, which are analogous to the above-mentioned benefits for retraction.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a storage module for the pallets described above. According to the invention, the storage module comprises stacking means for stacking and destacking at least two of the pallets. The storage module can thus serve to save pallets to save space, for example within a parking system, as long as these pallets are not needed.

The stacking means may comprise a crane which is movable in at least one horizontal direction and comprises lifting means for raising and lowering at least one pallet.

According to a preferred development, the storage module also comprises a cleaning device for cleaning at least one of the pallets received in the storage module. With the help of such a cleaning device impurities can be removed from the pallets, which originate for example from the vehicles parked thereon. The cleaning device may for example comprise suction nozzles. These may be movable relative to the pallets received in the storage module.

According to a development of the inventive method described above, prior to the execution of step a), a pallet stored in a storage module and cleaned by the cleaning device can be placed on the first receiving module of the elevator unit. This guarantees that the incoming motor vehicle can be parked on a cleaned pallet.

• mindestens ein erfindungsgemässes Fördermodul,
• mindestens eine erfindungsgemässe Palette,
• mindestens ein erfindungsgemässes Aufzugmodul,
• mindestens ein erfindungsgemässes Aufbewahrungsmodul.

Finally, the invention relates to a parking system, in particular a parking garage, which contains at least one, preferably several, more preferably all of the following modules:

• at least one conveying module according to the invention,
• at least one pallet according to the invention,
• at least one elevator module according to the invention,
• at least one storage module according to the invention.

The individual modules are coordinated in shapes and dimensions. For example, the at least one palette so matched to the at least one conveyor module that it is in the context of the invention of the conveyor module in two horizontal, substantially mutually perpendicular conveying directions can be conveyed.

In a preferred embodiment, the parking system contains at least one delivery module according to the invention. In particular, this delivery module may be contained in a receiving module of an elevator module of the parking system.

According to preferred developments of the parking system, this comprises at least one, preferably several, more preferably all of the following elevator modules according to the invention:

The parking system may include at least one lift module configured as a pull-in lift module, which has at least one second pick-up module. This Einraraufzugmodul is designed and arranged within the parking system that a motor vehicle from a Einfahrgeschoss to at least one above the Einfahrgeschosses arranged mezzanine floor or at least one arranged below the Einfahrgeschosses lower mezzanine is movable.

Alternatively or additionally, the parking system may comprise a lift module designed as a distribution elevator module, which is designed and arranged in the parking system so that a motor vehicle can be moved from a mezzanine to a parking level and / or from a parking level to a mezzanine level. In this case, a mezzanine can be designed as a parking floor.

As an alternative or in addition, the parking system may include at least one lift module configured as an exit lift module, which is designed and arranged in the parking system such that a motor vehicle can be moved from the at least one upper intermediate floor arranged above the extension floor or from the at least one lower mezzanine floor arranged below the extension floor to the outward floor.

A distribution elevator module as described above makes it possible to move a motor vehicle moved from a drive-in elevator module into a mezzanine from there to a parking level. The parking system particularly preferably contains a plurality of distribution elevator modules which can be operated independently of one another. Each of the Verteilaufzugmodule can be designed and arranged such that it is movable to one, to several or to all parking floors. This allows a particularly efficient distribution of motor vehicles in the parking system. If the parking system contains several distribution elevator modules, another distribution elevator module can take over its function in the event of a malfunction of one of the distribution elevator modules. Due to this redundancy, the parking system does not completely shut down if only a single distribution lift module fails.

This bullet contains the vehicle lift-in module 69 with the elevator unit 12 and the lift-out elevator module 70 with an elevator unit 12 '. Between the intake elevator module 69 and the exit elevator module 70 there extends a conveyor lane 73 on which three conveyor modules 1 according to the invention are arranged (cf. FIGS. 6 to 8 ). Both the elevator unit 12 of the pick-up elevator module 69 and the elevator unit 12 'of the automatic elevator module 70 contain a pick-up module which likewise comprises a conveyor module 1 according to the invention.

A pallet not shown here with a motor vehicle, which is located in the elevator unit 12 of the Einführraufzugmoduls 69, by means of located in the elevator unit 12 conveyor module 1 and located in the conveyor track 73 conveyor modules 1 in the first conveying direction R1 of the elevator unit 12 by a essentially horizontal movement are moved onto the conveyor lane 73 (see in detail the FIGS. 6 to 10 ). The pallet can then be moved to one of the parking space modules 60. For this purpose, the second conveyor of a conveyor module 1 is used, with which the pallet in a second horizontal, to the first conveying direction R1 substantially perpendicular conveying direction R2 can be conveyed. Alternatively, the pallet can also be moved by means of a second conveyor of a conveyor module 1 to one of the two Verteilaufzugmodule 71. With the help of one of these Verteilaufzugmodule 71, the pallet can be moved together with the motor vehicle in another parking floor.

The FIG. 4 also shows two storage modules 15, 15 '. In each of the two storage modules 15, 15 'each several pallets 8 are kept, of which only the top is visible. Each of the storage modules 15, 15 'includes an entryway 84, 84' which is adjacent to a conveyor module 1 of the conveyor lane 73, and a stacking station 83, 83 ', which in each case on the conveyor lane 73 remote from the Einfahrplatzes 84, 84' is arranged ,

The storage modules 15, 15 'each contain a cleaning device, which can not be seen here, for cleaning pallets (cf. FIGS. 19 to 23 ). In normal operation, only the cleaning device of the storage module 15 'arranged in the vicinity of the drive-out elevator module 70 is preferably operated. There pallets are cleaned, on which a motor vehicle was removed by means of the Ausfahraufzugmoduls 70 from the upper intermediate floor 20. In case of failure, it is of course also possible to take the cleaning device of arranged in the vicinity of the Einrahraufzugmoduls 69 storage module 15 in operation.

The conveyor modules 1 of the conveyor lane 73 are also designed and can be used to convey a stack of several stacked pallets, for example, from the storage module 15 'to the storage module 15.

The upper mezzanine 20 also contains four reserve parking spaces 41, on each of which a pallet with an optional motor vehicle can be parked. One of the reserve slots 41 is disposed below the hoist 42 for the Einfahrraufzugmodul 69, and another reserve slot 41 is disposed below the hoist gear 44 for the Ausfahraufzugzugmodul 70.

In FIG. 5 is shown as an exemplary parking floor 22, the third floor. This contains a longitudinally centrally arranged conveyor track 73, which comprises five conveyor modules 1 according to the invention. By means of the respective first conveying devices of the conveyor modules 1, a pallet, not shown here, can be moved with a motor vehicle in the first conveying direction R1. By means of the respective second conveying devices, the pallet can be moved in the direction perpendicular thereto R2 to one of the parking space modules 60 (cf. Figures 11 and 12 ). With the help of the two Verteilaufzugmodule 71 pallets can be moved with motor vehicles in the vertical direction in the parking floor 22 or moved out of this.

In the FIGS. 6 and 7 an inventive conveyor module 1 is shown. According to FIG. 6 The conveying module 1 comprises a base frame 2, eight first conveying devices 3 for conveying a pallet, not shown here, in a first horizontal conveying direction R1, and two second conveying devices 4 for conveying a pallet in a second horizontal conveying direction R2 substantially perpendicular to the first conveying direction R1.

The first conveyors 3 each contain a first drive belt, which is designed as a first double toothed belt 5. The first double toothed belts 5 are each driven by a first drive gearwheel 37. By means of first conveyor wheels 35, the first double toothed belt 5 are deflected. Each of the first conveying wheels 35 is arranged on a first eccentric lever 74. The first eccentric levers 74 are about a horizontal Rotatable axis, which is perpendicular to the first conveying direction R1, that is parallel to the second conveying direction R2. By a movement of the first eccentric lever 74 about this axis, the respective upper strand of the first double toothed belt 5 can be moved in the vertical direction. At least parts of the upper strands thus serve as the first drive portions 26 which can be brought into engagement with a pallet to be conveyed.

If the first conveying wheels 35 are in the higher position due to the position of the first eccentric lever 74, the first conveying device 3 is in a first conveying position within the meaning of the invention. In this first conveying position, the pallet can be conveyed by means of the first double toothed belt 5 in the first conveying direction R1. On the other hand, if the first conveying wheels 35 are in the lower position due to the position of the first eccentric lever 74, then a first standby position is present in which the pallet can not be conveyed by means of the first double toothed belt 5 in the first conveying direction R1.

The second conveyors 4 each contain a second drive belt, which is designed as a second double-toothed belt 6. The second double toothed belts 6 are each driven by a second drive gearwheel 38. By means of second conveyor wheels 36, the second double toothed belts 6 are deflected. Each of the second conveyor wheels 36 is arranged on a second eccentric lever, which is not recognizable here (cf. FIGS. 7 and 8th ). The second eccentric levers are rotatable about a horizontal axis, which is perpendicular to the second conveying direction R2, that is parallel to the first conveying direction R1. By a movement of the second eccentric lever about this axis, the respective upper run of the second double toothed belt 6 can be moved in the vertical direction. At least parts of the upper strands serve as second Drive portions 27, which can be brought into engagement with a pallet to be transported.

If the second conveying wheels 36 are in the higher position due to the position of the second eccentric levers, the second conveying device 4 is in a second conveying position according to the invention. In this second conveying position, the pallet can be conveyed by means of the second double toothed belts 6 in the second conveying direction R2. On the other hand, if the second conveying wheels 36 are in the lower position due to the position of the second eccentric levers, then a second ready position is present in which the pallet can not be conveyed by means of the second double toothed belts 6 in the second conveying direction R2.

The conveyor module 1 also has balls 7, which are mounted freely rotatable relative to the base frame 2. These balls 7 form elevations which extend vertically upwards and form support means. The balls 7 are thus formed and arranged so that a pallet in contact with the balls 7 can be brought. In a drive of the pallet by means of the first conveyor 3 or the second conveyor 4, only a small rolling friction resistance arises.

Due to the vertical mobility of the first conveyors 3 and the second conveyors 4, the movement of the pallets without and in particular the transition from a promotion in the first conveying direction to a promotion in the second conveying direction without lifting the pallet and a parked thereon motor vehicle is possible.

On the side of the conveyor module 1, a parking space drive 46 is arranged, with the aid of an adjoining not shown here Parking space module can be driven (see. Figures 5 . 11 and 12 ).

Furthermore, the conveyor module 1 on a Gehbelag 45, on which, for example, service personnel can easily go in the course of maintenance.

In FIG. 7 is a plan view of the conveyor module 1 according to FIG. 6 shown with removed Gehbelag. The conveyor module 1 has a first conveyor drive motor 106, which drives the first double toothed belt 5. In addition, it has a second conveyor drive motor 107, which drives both the second double-toothed belt 6 and the parking space actuators 46. With the aid of the eccentric motor 108, the first eccentric levers 74 can be selectively and alternately moved by means of a fork 115 by means of the first eccentric rods 110 or the second eccentric levers 75 can be moved by means of the second eccentric rods 111.

As already mentioned above in connection with the FIGS. 4 and 5 has been explained, it is in the conveyor module 1 is a modular component which can be arranged at several locations in a parking system, such as a parking garage. The modular design also allows Fördergasse 73 as in FIG. 5 in principle, any length with such conveyor modules 1 equip. In addition, the conveyor module 1 contains all drive and control elements that are necessary for the promotion of the pallets. For the pallets (cf. FIGS. 7 and 8th ) can thus be dispensed with drive and control entirely, which makes the palettes extremely low maintenance.

In FIG. 8 is a sectional view of a conveyor module 1 and a pallet 8 placed thereon. In the illustrated here Situation, the second double-toothed belt 6 is in such a position that its upper run forms a second drive region 27, which is in engagement with a second toothed profile 29 on the underside of the pallet 8. The second conveyor 4 is thus located in a second conveying position F2, in which the pallet 8 can be conveyed by means of the second conveyor 4 in the second conveying direction R2.

The upper strands of the first double toothed belts 5 are in such a vertical position that they are not engaged with the first toothed profiles 28 on the underside of the pallet 8. The first conveyors 3 are thus in first standby positions B1, in which the pallet 8 can not be conveyed by means of the first conveyors 3 in the first conveying direction perpendicular to the drawing plane.

In the in FIG. 8 shown position, the balls 7 penetrate into second guide rails 78, which cause a lateral guidance in the transport in the second conveying direction R2 (see. FIG. 11 ).

The FIG. 9 shows two pallets 8 in a sectional view parallel to the transverse sides 88 and perpendicular to the longitudinal sides 87. The pallets 8 have a top 30 and a bottom 31, which are coordinated so that several of the pallets 8 are stacked. The pallets 8 comprise a core 48 of rigid polyurethane foam. and overlying reinforcing plates 49 made of a foam material such as AIREX available from ALCAN AIREX AG, 5643 Sins, Switzerland. The top 30 of the pallet 8 is made of a glass fiber reinforced plastic with an anti-slip coating. The lanes 97 are carbon fiber reinforced. The top 30 may further include an advertising space 52 not shown here. The outer edge of the pallet 8 is bordered by a marginal extruded profile 51 with an anti-slip coating.

How out FIG. 10 it can be seen, are arranged on the bottom 31 of the pallets first guide rails 77 and second guide rails 78 made of polyamide. The first and second guide rails 77, 78 are embedded in a support extruded profile 50, which may for example consist of aluminum (see. FIG. 9 ). The support extruded profile 50 has a cavity 80. But it is also conceivable that this cavity 80 is also filled with foam. The first and second guide rails 77, 78 cross each other at crossing points 79, which take over the function of a switch. A transition from the promotion in the first conveying direction R1 to the promotion in the second conveying direction R2 is thus possible only in the relative positions between the pallet 8 and conveying module 1, in which the balls 7 engage in the crossing points 79.

At the bottom 31 of the pallet 8 first tooth profiles 28 and second tooth profiles 29 are further arranged. These tooth profiles 28, 29 are cast in a base plate made of a glass fiber reinforced plastic. Finally, the underside 31 of the pallet 8 still has a plurality of recesses 81, which serve to reduce the material, but do not significantly impair the stability of the pallet 8.

The pallet has a total length l of 5300 mm, a total width b of 2400 mm and a total height h of 150 mm.

The FIG. 11 shows the parking space drive 46 of the conveyor module from the FIGS. 6 to 8 in an enlarged sectional view. The parking space drive 46 includes a conical spur gear 90, which is arranged relative to a parking space module, not shown here, that it can be brought into engagement with a socket of the parking space module or brought. The spur gear 90 is movable by means of an electromagnetic coil clutch 91 in the direction of the parking space module.

In FIG. 12 a parking space module 60 is shown. The parking space module 60 includes a socket 92, in which the spur gear of the conveyor module can engage. Thus, by means of the coupling module between the parking space drive 46 and the bush 92 and by means of a plurality of gear rods 93, clutches 94 and drive wheels 95, a plurality of drive belts 96 can be driven by the delivery module, which enable the conveyance of a pallet (cf. FIG. 5 ). On its longitudinal sides, the parking space module 60 contains two ball pans 100, which can serve for fixing a floor lock, not shown here, to an elevator unit (cf. FIG. 15 ).

FIG. 13 shows an elevator unit 12, 12 'with two receiving modules 13, 14, of which the first receiving module 13 is disposed below the second receiving module 14. Both receiving modules 13, 14 contain an inventive conveyor module 1 according to the FIGS. 6 to 8 , By means of each of the two conveyor modules 1, a pallet 8 parked thereon can be conveyed in two mutually perpendicular conveying directions R1, R2 and thus can be moved toward or away from the receiving module 13, 14, for example from or to an adjacent stationary conveyor module. On the conveyor module 1 of the upper receiving module 14, a pallet 8 is received, on which a motor vehicle 24 is located.

This elevator unit 12, 12 'is, for example, in the drive-in elevator module 69 according to FIG. 3 vertically movable. On its upper side, the elevator unit 12, 12 'has a ceiling 61 with illumination. Each of the two receiving modules 13, 14 has on one of the transverse sides a transition bridge 65, which is rigidly connected to the respective receiving module 13, 14.

In addition, each of the two receiving modules 13, 14 each have four floor locks 64, of which only two can be seen here. These floor locks 64 serve to prevent fall and also allow precise vertical positioning of the elevator unit 12, 12 'relative to a floor when moving a pallet with a motor vehicle away from one of the receiving modules 13, 14 or towards one of the receiving modules 13, 14.

FIG. 14 shows a frontal view of a portion of the elevator unit 12 of the Einführraufmoduls 69 in the direction of the entrance 67 in the Einfahrgeschoss 19. On the receiving module 13 of the elevator unit 12 is a pallet 8 with a vehicle parked thereon 24. The transition bridge 65 serves to create an otherwise resulting gap between the receiving module 13 and the Einfahrgeschoss 19 of the parking garage to close, which makes it easier to move in and / or out of a pallet 8. The Einfahrgeschoss 19 contains on both longitudinal sides of the receiving module 13 each have a Gehverriegelungsbrücke 116. At the transition bridge 65 opposite side of the receiving module 13 includes the Einfahrgeschoss 19 another Gehverriegelungsbrücke, which is not recognizable here. All three Gehverriegelungsbrücken 116 are horizontally movable in the direction of the pallet 8 and engageable with it and again away from the pallet 8 movable. In this way, the palette 8 in the transverse direction between the two shown in the drawing Gehverriegelungsbrücken 116 and be clamped in the longitudinal direction between the transition bridge 65 and the unrecognizable third Gehverriegelungsbrücke before the motor vehicle 24 moves on the pallet 8. This prevents unintentional horizontal displacement of the pallet 8, for example when a driver of the motor vehicle 24 brakes too hard when entering the elevator unit 12. After the driver has left the motor vehicle 24 and the elevator unit 12, the walk-lock bridges 116 again move away from the pallet 8 and release it, so that the elevator unit 12 can be moved vertically.

The structure of the floor locks 64 is in FIG. 15 shown in more detail. The floor lock 64 has a locking ball 98, which is movable in the horizontal direction by means of a lifting cylinder 101 driven by a locking motor 102. The locking ball 98 can thereby be brought into engagement with a ball socket, not shown here, which is fixed relative to the projectile (see. FIG. 12 ).

In the Figures 16 and 17 a further elevator unit 12 "is shown FIG. 16 However, this has only a single receiving module 13. The receiving module 13 has a Gehbelag 112 and four conveyors 4 for conveying a pallet in a conveying direction R. Each of the conveying devices 4 has a double toothed belt 6. The conveying devices 4 of the receiving module 13 correspond to the second conveying devices of the conveying module according to the invention in accordance with FIGS FIGS. 6 to 8 , The recording module 13 of FIG. 16 However, it has no further conveyor for conveying the pallet in a direction different from the conveying direction R conveying direction. Accordingly, the receiving module 13 contains no inventive Delivery module. However, the receiving module 13 is suitable for receiving a motor vehicle by means of a pallet according to the invention, so that the elevator unit 12 "also lies within the scope of the invention.

One in the Figures 16 and 17 illustrated elevator unit 12 "can, for example, in a Verteilaufzugmodul 71 according to FIG. 2 be vertically movable. At the lower end of the elevator unit 12 "four floor locks 64 are arranged laterally, of which only two are visible here.

Furthermore, the elevator unit 12 "has a parking space drive 46. This parking space drive 46 coincides with the parking space drives 46 of the conveyor modules, as described above in connection with FIG FIG. 11 have been described. The parking space drive 46 of the elevator unit 12 "can be used to drive the conveyor mechanism of a parking space 60 adjacent to the R (cf. FIG. 4 ). In the in FIG. 4 shown parking level 22 is adjacent to each of the two Verteilaufzugmodule 71 each a parking space module 60 in the R direction. The parking space drive 46 is arranged on the elevator unit 12 "in the direction of this parking space module 60. In this direction, the parking space drive 46 can be moved by means of an electromagnetic reel coupling 91 (cf. FIG. 11 ) are coupled to the parking space module 60 and so drive the adjacent parking space module 60. In the direction opposite to the parking space module 60 opposite direction is a conveyor module 1 (see. FIG. 4 ). In this direction, the parking space drive 46 can be coupled to the adjacent conveyor module 1 by means of its electromagnetic coil clutch 91 with the elevator unit 12 "and thus driving it (see. FIG. 11 ). Alternatively, it is at the in FIG. 4 Of course, it is also possible that the elevator unit 12 "also in the direction of the adjacent conveyor module 1 and this conveyor module 1 in the direction of the elevator unit 12 "have a parking space drive 46, which are decoupled from each other by means of their respective electromagnetic coil clutch.

The elevator unit 12 "also contains a fire-extinguishing device 63, which can emit extinguishing gas, for example, and is arranged in the illustrated embodiment in the lower region of the elevator unit 12". Furthermore, the elevator unit 12 "has a ceiling 61, which may comprise emergency lighting 4. On each of the four sides of the ceiling 61 there is a fire protection roller 62, which in the case of fire is automatically extendable downwards.

In FIG. 17 is the elevator unit 12 "off FIG. 16 shown in a side view. In the receiving module 13, a pallet 8 is received with a motor vehicle 24 parked thereon.

The FIG. 18 shows a plan view of the receiving module 13 of the elevator unit of Figures 16 and 17 , The drive motor 113 drives the four double toothed belts 6 via a plurality of gear bars 114. In addition, he drives the parking space drive 46. The receiving module 13 also has four locking motors, by means of which a locking of the elevator unit relative to a projectile can be achieved (cf. FIG. 15 ).

Finally, in the FIGS. 19 to 23 an inventive storage module 15, 15 'for multiple pallets 8 shown. According to FIG. 19 The storage module 15, 15 'includes a crane 33, which is movable by means of a crane drive motor 53 in a horizontal direction. The crane 33 has a lifting motor 54, which by means of two Hubkugelumlaufspindeln 58 a Hubtragrahmen 56 can move in the vertical direction. Of the Hubtragrahmen 56 includes a cleaning device 17, the structure and operation will be explained below.

The storage module 15, 15 'further includes an entryway 84 on which a single pallet or a stack of multiple pallets can be retracted and extended, and a stacking station 83 on which up to 15 pallets can be stacked. The Einfahrplatz 84 includes a drive motor 85, with the two double toothed belt 103 by means of several gear rods 104, clutches 105 and drive gears 86 are driven. The stacking station 83 also contains double tame belts, which can be driven by means of the drive motor 85. By means of these double toothed belts 103, a pallet or a stack of pallets can be conveyed. In addition, both the Einfahrplatz 84 and the stacking space 83 balls 7, on which a pallet or a stack of pallets in the promotion by the double toothed belt 103 can be supported.

According to FIG. 20 For lifting a pallet, first of all the lifting support frame 56 is lowered by means of the lifting motor 54. The pallet 8 is then conveyed by an adjacent conveying module, not shown here, of an exporting elevator module by means of the double toothed belts 103 to an entry position 84 of the storage module 15, 15 '(cf. FIG. 4 ).

The Hubtragrahmen 56 with the pallet 8 is then according to FIG. 21 lifted by means of the lifting motor 54, wherein the pallet 8 is held at their longitudinal ends of transport claws not recognizable here (see. FIG. 23 ). At the same time, a cleaning device 17 arranged on the lifting support frame 56 is guided horizontally and in the longitudinal direction of the pallet 8 over the pallet 8. The cleaning device 17 is driven by a drive motor 55 and has a plurality of suction nozzles 32, with which the Pallet 8 is cleaned. Optionally, the cleaning device may also have spray nozzles which deliver a cleaning fluid, such as water, to provide more thorough cleaning when needed.

Subsequently, the crane 33 is moved by means of the crane drive motor 53 in the horizontal direction to the stacking station 83, as in FIG. 22 is shown. There, the lifting support frame 56 is lowered again until the pallet 8 either comes to rest directly on the stacking station 83 or on another pallet 8 already present there and until the transport grippers get out of contact with the pallet 8. Finally, the crane 33 is moved by means of the crane drive motor 53 in the horizontal direction to the Einfahrplatz 84.

In FIG. 23 are shown in a side view a plurality of stacked pallets 8. The uppermost pallet 8 is held in the position shown at its longitudinal ends by horizontally extending transport grippers 82, which are rigidly connected to the Hubtragrahmen 56.

The unstacking of the pallets from the stack 84 to the insertion 83 is done in an analogous manner.
