Definitions

• the present invention relates to a lift for vehicles in a multi-storey car park.
• the aim is to safely and quickly lift and lower the vehicles and also to turn the lift platform.
• WO2006 / 039830 an automatic parking system has become known, which operates with a central elevator, from which the vehicles are pushed radially to around the central elevator shaft arranged parking levels.
• the elevator proposed there is intended for a single vehicle.
• the entire elevator construction rotates around the vertical axis so that the vehicles can be pushed out in different directions on the parking levels.
• the vehicles to be parked are measured beforehand, for example with the aid of a scanner, in order to detect in which parking space in the parking garage the vehicle can be placed by the associated robot in such a way that the least space is needed.
• the object of this invention is to provide for car parks with a central elevator shaft an improved elevator, with which a higher capacity can be achieved, which is simpler in construction and safe in operation, and the vehicles efficiently raise, lower and can turn.
• this elevator should provide increased redundancy in a parking garage compared to conventional solutions.

• the elevator construction is shown schematically, but only one of the two elevator platforms 1 is shown.
• the elevator is used for lifting and turning unmanned vehicles in a parking garage with a central, surrounded by two semicircle hoistway 13 and around it at different levels arranged parking or parking decks 14. It is here just a single annular parking floor 14 located, but are effective a plurality of such parking decks 14, each with a central hole as elevator shaft arranged one above the other, where they can also form different storey heights by being spaced differently from each other to accommodate vehicles in categories of different vehicle heights as compact as possible. A sports car needs much less floor height than a delivery van.
• the crossbar 17 itself extends lengthwise beyond the elevator shaft 13 and is mounted and guided at its vertically extending end edges in a respective rail 8.
• a force acting on the truss edge towards the elevator platform 1 acts, because of the load of the elevator platform 1 and a vehicle parked thereon, while a force acting on the lower truss edge over the struts 3 acts in the opposite direction from the lower truss edge shows (torque).
• These forces are transmitted by steel rollers on the rail 8, on which these steel rollers roll.
• a central rail 28 may be arranged at the periphery of the elevator shaft 13, and the elevator platform is then struts on the struts 27 and stored at those by means of steel rollers. This gives the elevator platform 1 additional stability.
• the cross member 17 with the attached elevator platform 1 is held by the support cables 5.
• the drive motor 10 may be installed on top, or between the pulley 12 and the counterweight 7.
• a gearless outer rotor is used as a drive motor.
• the support cables 5,6, on both sides of the elevator shaft 13 must run quite synchronously and can be driven by a single motor with appropriate cable guide, or each of its own engine, these motors must then be exactly synchronized with each other.
• the entire support cables 6 and their drive including the counterweights 7 are located outside the elevator shaft 13, in niches 15 which extend vertically through all the parking decks 14 and in which the counterweights 7 move up and down.
• the elevator shaft 13 In the elevator shaft 13 are exclusively the trusses 17 and the side mounted on them swivel platforms 1. These two trusses 17 and platforms 1 can move up and down completely independently and the platforms 1 can also be pivoted independently. For this purpose, they each rest on a turntable 2, which can be driven and on which the elevator platform 1 is rotatable on both sides by 180 ° into this side of the elevator shaft about the vertical axis, into which it projects from the tranverse 17.
• the platforms 1 may only cross when aligned parallel to the traverse 17 platform 1.
• a platform 1 is just swung out and thus one of its halves protrudes beyond its traverse 17 into the elevator space of the second platform 1, then the vertical passing of this second platform must be waited until the first platform 1 again pivots parallel to the traverse 17 and on the corresponding side of the elevator shaft, and only then can she cross this platform 1, be it on the way up or down.
• This condition for crossing the platforms 1 is monitored by a central computer and ensure compliance.
• the second When lying parallel to the traverse 17 platform 1 of the first elevator, the second but can be operated fully unrestricted. This fact helps this elevator system to provide additional redundancy sometimes an elevator will fail for some reason.
• FIG. 3 a single elevator platform 1 with Traverse 17, turntable 2 and a pivotable, wedge-shaped, curly end piece 19 is shown in the elevator shaft 13 seen from above.
• the cross member 17 extends on both sides beyond the inner edge 16 of the parking deck 14 and is also suspended outside the elevator shaft 13 on supporting cables.
• This turntable 2 allows the elevator platform 1 to pivot about the vertical axis with respect to the crossbar 17. This pivoting can be done by means of a hydraulic, pneumatic or electric motor.
• the end faces 21 of the elevator platform 1 are rounded, with a certain radius R.
• the elevator platform 1 is installed slightly laterally offset relative to this diametral 23.
• the traverse 17 extends itself directly adjacent to a diametrical 23, and beyond this diametrical 23 extends parallel to it, the cross member for the second elevator platform.
• On the outer side of the Extending platform are hinged to the end pieces 19, wherein in Figure 3, only one of the two end pieces 19 is located.
• This end piece 19 has an inner edge 24, the curvature of which corresponds to the radius R of the outer edge 21 of the end side of the elevator platform 1.
• the end piece 19 can be pivoted with its inner edge 24 along the outer edge 21 of the end of the elevator platform 1.
• a hinge mechanism that guides the tail 19 in accordance with the common center of these two circular curves.
• the two edges 21, 24 may also be designed so that one edge is guided directly on the other with respect to shear forces frictionally by the two edges 21, 24 together form a tongue and groove connection. This allows rollers with a small diameter and high loads to easily roll over this connection.
• the outer edge 20 of the end piece 19 fits with complete turning of the end portion 19 before the end of the elevator platform 1 to the contour of the inner edge 16 of the parking deck 14. This edge 20 is wedged with the inner edge 16 of the parking deck. This also creates a shear-resistant connection so that a vehicle can roll over this connection and still remain stable. With a second such end piece 19 on the opposite side of the elevator platform 1, this can be connected and locked on both sides with the plates of the parking deck 14.
• a robot On the elevator platform 1, a robot is constructed in its longitudinal direction, which has a central, extending in the longitudinal direction rail, with lateral, scissor-like extendable arms.
• the rail can extend telescopically in the longitudinal direction and drive under a standing on a parking deck vehicle and then slightly raise the vehicle at its four wheels with the laterally extendable arms, after which it rolls on robot belonging to steel rollers at the ends of its extendable arms.
• the vehicle can be pulled with the central rail on the elevator platform 1. When it has arrived there, it is lifted by lifting the elevator platform 1 to the calculated parking deck level, in which the computer determined the appropriate parking area.
• This parking area is located in one of the two circular halves and may be in another Therefore, the elevator platform 1 must be pivoted to the center of the corresponding circular half and in the right direction, which takes place via the turntable 2. This lateral movement and rotation about the vertical axis can occur during the lifting of the elevator platform, so that the lifting and pivoting movement of the elevator platform 1 are superposed on each other to take advantage of the lifting time for pivoting.
• the end pieces 19 are pivoted in front of the ends of the elevator platform 1 and wedged with the inner edge 16 of the parking deck 14.
• the robot can push the vehicle from the elevator platform 1 onto the parking area previously determined by the computer and park it on its vehicle wheels and retract again to the elevator platform 1.
• Figure 4 shows this elevator in the interior of a concrete planned with mass parking garage with radially arranged parking areas in plan.
• the diameter of the elevator shaft is, for example 8.50m, and the parking areas have different lengths.
• the parking areas which are directed towards the corners of the quadrilateral, are the longest with a length of approx. 6m. They have a width of 2.20m. Accordingly, they can be used for particularly large and long vehicles, while shorter vehicles are parked on the shorter parking areas if possible. These also measure slightly less in width, namely only 2.13m.
• the support columns 25 for the elevator are arranged outside the elevator shaft 13, and the counterweights 7 in each case a remaining circular disc segment in the extension of the trusses 17.
• the trusses 17 then have a length of 10.70m and therefore project beyond the elevator shaft 13 on both sides by 1.10m ,
• These two trusses 17 for The two elevator platforms 1 occupy a width of approximately 0.40 m and are guided on the rails 8, which extend along the support columns 25.
• a platform 1 is shown in dashed lines to show a state in which it is pivoted in the example shown by about 70 ° with respect to the crossbar 17, to operate the opposite parking area.
• an end piece 19 is pivoted in front of the end side of the elevator platform 1 on the side pivoted to the inner edge 16, as shown.
