Description

Device for placing objects with horizontally oriented drive

The invention relates to a device for parking objects, in particular vehicles, at least comprising at least one platform that can be moved by a moving device and has a parking surface, at least one drive that is part of the moving device and at least one traction device that is part of the moving device. The traction mechanism connects an anchor point with the motion drive, which is designed as a linear drive.

Devices for parking objects, in particular for parking vehicles on top of one another, are available in various embodiments. These devices serve to optimally utilize the limited available storage space. For this purpose, several objects are stored on top of each other. In order to get to objects which are stored above other objects, at least part of such a device must be moved. A drive is usually used for this movement. Such a drive must be able to move the objects stored above reliably and at the same time be easily accessible for testing and maintenance work.

Devices for placing objects are known from the prior art, in which a drive for moving objects stored further above is arranged on the floor within the device or next to the device. This arrangement has the advantage that the drive is easily accessible. The disadvantage of this prior art is that the drive itself requires space that is lost for storing objects. If a drive is arranged next to the device, additional installation space is required, which is often not available.

The object of the invention is therefore to propose solutions for the storage of objects, which allow an improved use of the available space.

This object of the invention is achieved by a device for parking objects, in particular vehicles, at least comprehensively

at least one platform movable by a movement device with a storage area,

at least one drive that is part of the movement device,

at least one traction device, which is part of the movement device,

wherein the traction means connects an anchor point to the drive, the movement drive being designed as a linear drive, which comprises a stationary base part and a connecting element that is linearly movable for this purpose, the direction of movement of the connecting element being essentially horizontal.

A device according to the invention comprises at least one platform which is provided to receive objects and to store them at least temporarily. This platform has a parking area from which the items to be stored are placed. This storage area is usually designed to be flat. Furthermore, a device according to the invention comprises a movement device which is provided to move the platform. The moving device can be designed so that only a vertical movement of the platform is possible. But it is often also necessary to move a platform in the horizontal direction. The movement device can thus also be designed in such a way that it enables the platform to be moved in the horizontal direction. Finally, the movement device can also be designed in such a way that both vertical and horizontal movements of the platform, even when superimposed, are made possible. The movement device comprises at least one drive which actively ensures the movement of the platform. Such a drive is usually designed as a working cylinder, which has a drive element moving in a linear direction, referred to below as a connecting element. Furthermore, according to the invention, the movement device comprises at least one traction means. This traction device is suitable for transmitting tensile forces. A particularly favorable embodiment for such a traction device is a chain. Alternatively, the traction means can also be designed as a rope. A chain or a rope represent traction means that are flexible and flexible. As a general rule Rigid traction means, such as tie rods, are also suitable for a device according to the invention. The traction means of a device according to the invention connects the drive to an anchor point. This anchor point can be arranged on a movable part of the device. Alternatively, the anchor point can also be attached to a stationary, stationary location. Such a resting place could, for example, be on a Ge alternate or frame of the device or on a part of the building belonging to the device. According to the invention, the drive is designed as a linear drive which has a base part and a connecting element that is linearly movable for this purpose. When the linear drive is designed as a hydraulic cylinder, the cylinder with the pressure connections forms the base part and the piston rod forms the linearly movable connecting element. It is not absolutely necessary for the base part to rest and only the connecting element to move during operation of the device. It is also possible that the base part and the connecting element move in the vertical and / or horizontal direction during operation of the device. Furthermore, the connecting element can be firmly anchored to a device part and the base part can move more linearly and relative to the connecting element. Usually, however, the base part is firmly attached to a device part and the connecting element moves relative to the base part when the device is in operation. According to the invention it is provided that the direction of movement of the connecting element, or alternatively the direction of movement of the base part, is essentially horizontal. This horizontal direction of movement relates to the operating state of the device. A horizontal direction of movement of the connecting element requires a horizontal alignment of the drive, which is designed as a linear drive. This horizontal alignment of the drive brings about a number of surprising advantages: The platform is usually long and wide compared to its height. A horizontally aligned drive can thus be arranged in the horizontal direction to save space on or parallel to the platform. In the case of an arrangement on the platform, no installation space is required for the drive below the platform. Significantly more installation space or storage space is thus available below the platform than with known devices from the prior art.

If the drive is arranged parallel to the platform, it can be fastened with its base part above the platform, for example. In this embodiment of the invention, too, no installation space is required for the drive below the platform, so that more storage space is available here. A horizontal arrangement of the drive optimizes the storage space provided below the platform and reduces the installation space required by the device itself. In addition, a substantially horizontal direction of movement of the connecting element simplifies the movement device. For the movement of the platform, the drive works with the traction mechanism and the anchor point. The movement of the connecting element of the drive is transmitted to the traction device by a suitable mechanism. The movement of the traction device is then transmitted to the platform either via the anchor point or another element. In a In the first, lowered position of the platform, part of the traction device runs in the vertical direction. This part of the traction means running in the vertical direction is longer in the first lowered position than the vertically running part of the traction means in a second, raised position of the platform. There is thus a difference in length in the vertically extending part of the traction means between the first, lowered position and the second raised position of the platform. The length of the traction device corresponding to this difference in length must be stored or kept in the raised position of the platform. With a hori zontal direction of movement of the connecting element, this difference in length of the traction means can be stored very easily in the horizontal direction parallel to the platform without further components. Due to the horizontal arrangement of the drive and thus the connec tion element, components are saved that would be required in a non-horizontal direction of the drive for an intermediate storage of the traction device. The horizontal arrangement of the drive thus saves components in the device, thereby simplifying it.

Furthermore, the proposal advantageously provides that the movement device moves the platform in a horizontal and / or vertical direction. As described above, the movement device and / or the drive can be designed in such a way that the platform can be moved in the horizontal and / or vertical direction or in both directions superimposed on one another. In the case of devices for setting down objects, both directions of movement are increasingly required in order to enable a high packing density of objects in the available storage volume.

In a preferred embodiment of the proposal it is provided that the anchor point is designed to be variable in its horizontal position relative to the movement device or is arranged in a stationary manner. In a horizontally stationary embodiment of the anchor point, the water is provided in cooperation with the traction means for a purely vertical movement of the platform. Alternatively, the anchor point can also be designed to be horizontally movable relative to the direction of movement, in particular relative to the drive. This makes it possible to change the horizontal position of the anchor point. Before the movement device is actuated, the horizontal position of the anchor point can thus be changed. By changing this horizontal position, the traction means also used for changing the vertical position of the platform can then be used at the same time to change the hori zontal position of the platform.

Furthermore, it is provided that the drive can optionally be connected to a horizontal gear, the horizontal gear converting a movement generated by the drive into a horizontal one Movement of the platform translated. In this embodiment, the traction means is used exclusively to move the platform in the vertical direction. If, on the other hand, the platform is to be moved in the horizontal direction, a horizontal gear is provided which can optionally be connected to the drive. Before the platform moves horizontally, the drive is connected to this horizontal gear. The horizontal gear then translates the movement of the drive into a horizontal movement of the platform. When the desired horizontal position of the platform is reached, the horizontal gear is disconnected from the drive again. Conveniently, the connection between the traction mechanism and the drive is also optionally out leads. The traction means can thus be separated from the drive in a simple manner. In a particularly favorable embodiment, either the drive is connected to the horizontal gear for horizontal movement of the platform or the drive is connected to the traction device for vertical movement of the platform. A single drive that is aligned horizontally can thus be used both for vertical movement of the platform and for horizontal movement of the platform. Since a drive usually represents an expensive component, this embodiment provides an inexpensive device which has only one drive and which enables the platform to move in two spatial axes.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the device comprises at least one deflecting means for deflecting the traction means, the traction means connecting the anchor point to the drive via the deflection means which changes the direction of the traction means. In this embodiment, a deflection means is provided between the drive and the anchor point. This deflection means is in operative connection with the traction means. The traction means revolves around the deflection means. In this case, the direction of the traction device changes when the deflection device revolves. The part of the traction means which runs from the drive to the deflection means thus runs in a different direction than the part of the traction means which runs from the deflection means to the anchor point. The deflection means can be designed, for example, as a rotatably mounted deflection roller, over which the traction means is guided. The deflection means is provided to convert a horizontal movement transmitted from the drive to the traction means into a movement running in another direction. Usually the deflection means changes the horizontal direction of the traction means running from the drive to the deflection means into a vertical direction. Such a deflection translates the horizontal movement of the connecting element of the drive into a vertical movement of the platform in a simple manner. Further embodiments of the deflecting means are described below.

It is cleverly provided that the drive is connected to the platform at its base part and the drive moves together with the platform in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the drive is fixed with the platform that is movable in the vertical direction connected. When the platform moves up and down, the drive thus moves together with the platform. In this embodiment, a deflection means is also provided, wel Ches is connected to the platform and also moves together with this in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the anchor point is not arranged on the platform, but rather on a fixed point of the device or on a fixed point of the building surrounding the device. In this embodiment, the drive is particularly space-saving on or below the moving platform. Underneath the platform, no installation space is required for the drive or for other elements of the movement device.

In a further preferred embodiment it is provided that the movement device has at least one vertically extending guide which has a stationary part which is fastened to a stationary base, in particular a building or a frame, and the guide also has a movable part, which is connected to the platform and the movable part is guided vertically movable in the fixed part. In this embodiment, the movement device includes a vertically extending guide for the platform as it moves in the vertical direction. A moving part of this guide is firmly connected to the platform. This movable part of the guide engages in a fixed part of the guide which is arranged in a stationary manner. When the platform moves, the movable part moves along the stationary part of the guide. Such a guide ensures an exact, vertical movement of the platform.

Furthermore, it is advantageously provided that at least one side part is provided on the platform adjacent to the storage area and the drive is fastened to the side part. In this embodiment the platform has at least one side part. This side part delimits a longitudinal or transverse side of the platform. Usually, the side part is arranged at right angles to the shelf. By attaching the drive to the side part, no space or installation space is required for the drive on the platform or the storage area. Such an arrangement of the drive on a side part of the platform thus results in a particularly efficient use of the space available and a particularly large volume within the device that can be used for the storage of objects.

It is advantageously provided that the drive is fastened below the platform, in particular un below the storage area. In this embodiment, the drive is arranged below the platform. This arrangement means that no space is lost on the storage area for arranging the drive, so that in this alternative embodiment there is also a particularly good use of space for storing objects in the device. Furthermore, the proposal advantageously provides that the drive is listed as a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, an electromechanical linear drive or an electric linear motor. The drive can be formed by various actuators with a linear direction of movement. Depending on the available infrastructure, hydraulics or pneumatics can represent interesting designs for the drive. Alternatively, electromechanical drives can be provided in which, for example, a rotating electric motor engages in a rack via a pinion and thus generates a linear movement of the rack. In general, all embodiments of a linear drive are disclosed.

In a preferred embodiment of the proposal it is provided that several moving devices and / or drives are provided. In this embodiment, more than one movement device and / or more than one drive is provided. A redundant provision of these elements increases the safety when operating the device. By providing several such elements, the static and dynamic requirements for these elements are reduced, so that more cost-effective variants can be used.

Furthermore, it is provided that the anchor point is arranged in a stationary manner above the platform and is identical or connected to a point on a building or a stationary frame. In this embodiment, the anchor point is designed to be immobile and stationary. The anchor point remains at rest when the platform moves. The anchor point is arranged above half of the platform. The traction means runs at least partially from the platform in the vertical direction to the anchor point. Such a fixed anchor point can for example be arranged on a frame or frame of the device or on a part of the building belonging to the device. This embodiment is particularly suitable for devices in which the drive moves together with the platform in the vertical direction. Conveniently, a deflection means is arranged between the drive and the stationary anchor point, which also moves together with the platform and changes the direction of the traction means.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the anchor point is arranged immovably on the platform and relative to the platform. In this alternative embodiment, the anchor point moves together with the platform. For this purpose, the anchor point is firmly connected to the platform and immobile to it. This embodiment is particularly suitable in combination with a drive which is fixedly arranged outside the platform. A deflection means is also advantageously provided, which is also arranged in a stationary manner outside the platform. It is cleverly provided that the deflection means is designed as a roller that is rotatably mounted relative to the platform and is arranged on the platform. A rotatably mounted roller is particularly favorable for deflecting the traction mechanism, since a rotatably mounted roller hardly causes any friction losses during deflection. This embodiment, in which the deflection means is connected to the platform, is particularly advantageous in combination with a fixed anchor point and a movably arranged drive.

In a further preferred embodiment it is provided that the deflecting means is designed as a rotatable to a stationary base, in particular a building or a frame, mounted roller and is arranged on the stationary base. In this alternative embodiment, a deflecting means designed as a rotatable roller is stationary, that is to say immovable. This embodiment is particularly suitable in combination with an anchor point arranged on the platform and a stationary drive.

Furthermore, it is advantageously provided that the deflection means is designed as a fixed sliding piece, which is arranged on the platform or a stationary base, in particular a building or a frame. In this embodiment, the deflection means for the traction means is designed to be particularly simple and inexpensive. Instead of a rotatably mounted roller, an immovable, rigid slide is used, over which the traction device is guided. This slider has at least one smooth surface over which the traction means is guided. During operation of the device, sliding friction occurs between the traction means and the slider, but this is low due to the smooth surface. The advantage of a deflecting means designed as a slider is, on the one hand, that it is easy to manufacture and, on the other hand, the lack of moving parts, which increases ease of maintenance. A deflecting means designed as a sliding piece can, analogously to the embodiment shown above, in which the deflecting means is designed as a rotatably mounted roller, alternatively be arranged in a stationary manner or on the platform.

It is advantageously provided that the direction of movement of the connecting element is directed towards the deflection means when it is extended from the base part. The train medium is connected to the connecting element. In this embodiment, the drive is arranged such that when the connecting element is moved out of the base part of the drive, the connecting element moves in the direction from which the traction means is brought to the drive.

Furthermore, the proposal advantageously provides that the direction of movement of the connecting element when extending from the base part in the direction of the deflection middle way is directed. In this embodiment, the direction of movement of the connecting element is reversed to the embodiment described above. The direction of movement of the connecting element out of the base part runs here in the opposite direction to the direction from which the traction means is brought to the drive.

In a preferred embodiment of the proposal it is provided that the traction means between the deflection means and the anchor point runs essentially vertically. In this embodiment, the alignment of the traction means between the deflection means and the anchor point enables a particularly efficient movement of the platforms in the vertical direction, since the traction means runs parallel to the direction of movement of the platform. A vertical alignment of this area of the traction means requires very little installation space for its arrangement in the device.

Furthermore, it is provided that the traction means run essentially horizontally between the deflection means and the drive. This embodiment supplements the embodiment described above. The traction means initially runs in the horizontal direction from the connection element to the deflection means. After the deflection by the deflection means, the traction means then continues in the vertical direction from the deflection means to the anchor point. The vertically running part of the traction means can run either upwards or downwards from the deflection means.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the drive is attached to a stationary base, in particular a building or a frame. In this embodiment, the drive is arranged immovably outside the platform. In this embodiment, the base part of the drive is fixed in a stationary manner. In this embodiment, an order steering means is provided, which is also attached to a fixed base. The anchor point, on the other hand, is arranged on the platform and moves together with it in the vertical and / or horizontal direction.

It is cleverly provided that the traction means is directly connected to the connecting element of the drive and the connecting element transfers its movement to the traction means. In this embodiment, the traction means is attached directly to the connecting element of the drive. For example, a pulling means designed as a chain can be attached directly to a connecting element designed as a piston rod. Direct means here that no further structural elements or components are arranged between the connecting element and the traction means. In a further preferred embodiment it is provided that the traction means is connected at its end opposite the anchor point to a traction point which is in a constant position to the base part and the traction means runs from the traction point to the connec tion element. In this embodiment, the traction means is not directly connected to the connec tion element. Instead, the second end of the traction device opposite the anchor point is firmly connected to a traction point. From this pulling point, the pulling means then initially runs to the connecting element of the drive and from there on to the deflecting means and / or to the anchor point. The traction mechanism is thus indirectly connected to the drive here. The fact that the pulling point is arranged in a constant position to the base part of the drive can be achieved in this embodiment, a power amplification of the drive in the manner of a pulley block. As a result, drives with a lower power output can be used for the device. In this embodiment, the base part of the drive and the traction point can be net angeord either movably on the platform or stationary outside the platform.

Furthermore, it is advantageously provided that a deflection roller is provided on the connecting element, over which the traction means is guided. This embodiment is based on the embodiment described above, in which a pull point is provided which is arranged in a constant position relative to the base part. On the connecting element, for example at the top of a connecting element designed as a Kol rod, a pulley is provided. The Zugmit tel is passed from the pulling point over this pulley and continues from there to the deflection means and / or anchor point. By means of this deflection roller, a force amplifier based on the principle of a pulley block can be implemented in a particularly simple and functionally stable manner.

It is advantageously provided that the device comprises at least two platforms that can be raised and lowered vertically one above the other, the two platforms being connected at a constant distance from one another via spacer elements. It is also possible to arrange several platforms on top of one another for placing objects, in particular vehicles. The various platforms are connected to one another via spacer elements. These spacer elements can be rigid, for example as metal profiles, or flexible, for example as steel cables. In a device with several platforms, however, several drives are not necessarily also present; it is sufficient to provide one drive which, as described above, interacts with a traction means and an anchor point. One platform is driven directly by the drive, the other platform (s) are coupled in their movement to the driven platform via the spacer elements and thus move synchronously with the driven platform. Furthermore, the proposal advantageously provides that a synchronous tension element is provided on each side of the platform, which connects to a third part with a first part in a first area of the platform, over a middle, second part running on the platform to, the first area opposite the second area of the platform he stretches and which is fixed with its one end in the first area and with its other end in the second area, each synchronizing tension element is guided at least by a roller on the platform. In this embodiment, synchronized tension elements are provided on the platform, which enable the platform to be raised and lowered evenly. The platform has a first area which faces away from the side from which objects are moved onto the platform. A second area of the platform is where objects are moved onto the platform. In the case of a device for parking vehicles, the vehicles are moved onto the platform via the second area of the platform. The first and second areas of the platform are therefore at different ends of the platform. When operating the device, the first and second areas of the platform should move evenly. To ensure this, synchronization elements are attached to each side of the platform. These synchronous tension elements extend from the first area of the platform to the second area of the platform. The synchronous tension elements are designed to be flexible and formed, for example, by chains or ropes. The two ends of the synchronous tension elements are fixed. This means that the ends are fixed in place on immovable parts of the device or of the building surrounding the device. A first end of a synchronized traction element runs with a first part from the fixation in the first area of the platform to a movably arranged roller on the platform. The synchronous tension element is deflected by this roller and runs from this roller in a second part along the platform to a second roller which is movably arranged relative to the platform. From this second roller, the synchronous tension element runs in a third part, the other end of which is fixed. Usually, the first and third parts of the synchronized tension elements run in the vertical direction and the middle, second part of the synchronized tension elements horizontally, parallel to the platform. The synchronized tension elements are not directly connected to the drive or the traction means. The synchronous tension elements form passive components, which when the platform is moved by the drive and the traction means synchronize this movement along the platform and ensure that the first area and the second area of the platform are raised and lowered synchronously. Usually, two synchronous tension elements are provided, which are arranged along the long sides of the platform.

In a preferred embodiment of the proposal it is provided that the two ends of the synchronous tension elements are attached to a stationary base, in particular a building or a frame. The two ends of the synchronous tension elements are immobile and fixed in place. This fixation can be made on a frame or on a part of the building belonging to the device.

It is also provided that the rollers of the two synchronized tension elements are rotationally connected by a synchronized shaft. The synchronous tension elements described above ensure a synchronous vertical movement between a first area arranged at the front in the longitudinal direction of the platform and a second area arranged at the rear in the longitudinal direction of the platform. The longitudinal direction is to be understood as the direction of the platform in which the longer side of the platform runs. In order to improve a synchronous, vertical movement in the transverse direction, ie at right angles to the longitudinal direction, a synchronous shaft is provided in this embodiment, which runs in the transverse direction from one side of the platform to the other. This synchronous shaft is arranged between rollers of the synchronized tension elements that are opposite one another in the transverse direction of the platform and is firmly connected to these rollers. The rotation of one roller is transferred to a rotation of the other roller through the synchronous shaft. In this embodiment there is an interaction between the synchronization elements and the rollers. Cooperation is understood to mean that forces and moments are transmitted between the synchronous tension elements and the rollers. This can be achieved, for example, in that the synchronous tension elements are designed as a chain and the rollers as a pinion. The pinions engage in the chain, whereby a movement of the chain, that is to say of the synchronous tension element, is transmitted to the pinions, that is to say the rollers. The rotation transmitted by the synchronized shaft from one roller to the other roller is thus also transmitted to the second synchronized tension element via this interaction between the roller and synchronous tension elements. This mechanical coupling achieves a synchronous lifting and lowering of the platform in the transverse direction. A synchronous shaft is built in a simple and robust manner and also improves the operational safety of the device, since it effectively prevents the platform from tilting when it is raised and lowered. In particular, in embodiments that have both the synchronous tension elements and a synchronous shaft, a uniform vertical movement of the platform is ensured even if only one drive is provided. This embodiment is simple and robust and has only a single drive. This embodiment can thus also be manufactured particularly inexpensively and is easy to assemble.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the synchronizing shaft, viewed from the side of the device, is arranged vertically in a line with the deflection means. In this embodiment, the device has a deflection means which is arranged vertically above or below the synchronizing shaft. Synchronous shaft and deflection means lie on a line in the vertical direction. The deflection means represents the point at which the force generated by the drive and traction means is introduced into the platform. Thus, the driving force acts on Moving the platform in the vertical direction on the deflection means. Because the synchronous shaft is arranged above or below the deflection means, the synchronous shaft and thus also the rollers of the synchronous tension elements lie in the line of action of the force that raises and lowers the platform in the vertical direction. This arrangement is particularly favorable, since no torques whatsoever can occur between the deflection means and the rollers of the synchronous tension elements. This arrangement of synchronizing shaft and rollers is therefore not susceptible to tension in the platform caused by torques and is therefore particularly reliable.

A particularly preferred embodiment of the invention is formed by a device for placing objects, in particular vehicles, at least comprising at least one platform that can be raised and lowered by a movement device and has a storage area,

at least one drive that is part of the movement device,

at least one traction device, which is part of the movement device,

and at least one deflection means for deflecting the traction means,

wherein the traction means connects an anchor point via the deflection means, which changes the direction of the train, with the drive, the drive being designed as a linear drive which comprises a stationary base part and a connecting element that is linearly movable for this purpose, the direction of movement of the connecting element essentially is horizontal, the drive is connected to its base part with the platform and the drive moves together with the platform in the vertical direction and the deflection means is designed as a role rotatably mounted on the platform and is arranged on the platform and the anchor point is stationary above the Platform is arranged and is identical to or connected to a point on a building or a stationary frame.

This particularly preferred embodiment represents a combination of the embodiments described in detail above. In this particularly preferred embodiment, a deflection means is provided which is arranged on the platform and moves together with the platform. The drive is also connected with its base part with the platform and thus also moves together with the platform. The anchor point, on the other hand, is stationary, that means immobile, arranged above the platform. In this particularly preferred embodiment, the components responsible for moving the platform are all arranged on the platform. Thus, no installation space is required for these components under or next to the platform. At the same time, these components are easy to assemble and easily accessible for carrying out maintenance work. The connection of the traction means to the connecting element of the drive can be carried out directly. Alternatively, the traction means can be attached to a traction point that is movable with the platform and from there run to the connecting element, whereby a force amplification is achieved in the manner of a bottle to total.

An alternative, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention is formed by a device for parking objects, in particular vehicles, at least comprehensively

at least one platform with a storage area that can be raised and lowered by a movement device,

at least one drive that is part of the movement device,

at least one traction device, which is part of the movement device,

and at least one deflection means for deflecting the traction means,

wherein the traction means connects an anchor point via the deflection means, which changes the direction of the train, with the drive, the drive being designed as a linear drive which comprises a stationary base part and a connecting element that is linearly movable for this purpose, the direction of movement of the connecting element essentially is horizontal, the drive being attached to a stationary base, in particular a building or a frame, and the deflecting means being designed as a roller mounted rotatably relative to a stationary base, in particular a building or a frame, and being arranged on the stationary base and the anchor point is immovable on the platform and relative to the platform.

This alternative, particularly preferred embodiment also represents a combination of the embodiments previously described. In the alternative, particularly preferred embodiment, a deflection means is provided which, like the base part of the drive, is not arranged on the movable platform, but outside at a stationary point . In this embodiment, the drive does not move together with the platform. The anchor point, however, is arranged on the platform and moves with it. This alternative, preferred embodiment has the advantage that the platform is particularly light and simple. Drive and deflection means can be space-saving above the Vorrich device, for example on the ceiling of a part of the building belonging to the device of the angeord net. Thus, in this alternative, particularly preferred embodiment, FITS little space is required for driving the platform. For maintenance work, the drive and the deflection means are also easily accessible via the platform that is moved upwards in the vertical direction. In this alternative, particularly preferred embodiment, too, the traction means can be connected either directly to the connecting element of the drive or indirectly, starting from a traction point, to the connecting element of the drive. In the alternative, particularly preferred embodiment, the pulling point at which the the anchor point opposite end of the traction means attached is also stationary, arranged outside half of the platform. The pull point can be arranged, for example, on the ceiling of a part of the building belonging to the device, adjacent to the base part of the drive.

The two particularly preferred embodiments described above can of course be combined with features from other embodiments described above.

The device comprises a vertically movable platform 2, which here has a rectangular shape. Before the device and the platform 2 are intended for parking objects, in particular vehicles. For placing objects on the platform 2, the latter has a storage surface 21, which is designed flat here. The platform 2 has a first area 10, which faces to the left behind in the illustration. A second area 1 1 of the platform is arranged opposite the first area 10 and facing to the front right. Objects, in particular vehicles, are symbolized by arrows and moved over the second area 11 onto the platform. The first area 10 is usually arranged adjacent to a vertically extending wall, so that normally no objects are moved onto the platform 2 or away from the platform 2 via the first area 10. A side part 22 of the platform 2 is arranged on each of two longitudinal sides adjoining the shelf surface 21. The long side is to be understood here as the longer dimension of the platform 2, which runs from the front right to the rear left in the illustration. The side parts 22 here extend at right angles to the shelf surface 21. The side parts 22 are designed to be flat in themselves. The storage surface 21 and the side parts 22 are advantageously made of flat metal, in particular profiles made of metal, which are strong enough to absorb the weight of the objects parked. In the embodiment shown, the device has two drives 3, each of which includes a fastening part 31 and a connecting element 32. The fastening parts 31 are firmly connected to the side parts 22 of the platform 2. When the platform 2 moves, the drives 3 thus move together with the platform 2. At the end of the side parts 22 facing towards the back th in the first area 10 of the platform, an order 6 is arranged in the form of a rotatably mounted roller. The deflecting means 6 also move together with the platform 2. Above the deflecting means 6, a fixed anchor point 4 can be seen in each case. These anchor points 4 are arranged outside the platform 2 and thus do not move together with the platform 2. The anchor points 4 can, for example, be arranged on the ceiling of a building section that surrounds the device or belongs to the device, or on an immovable support frame belonging to the device his. On each side of the platform 2 there is a traction device 5 which is attached to an anchor point 4. The traction means 5 runs from the anchor point 4 from each Weil initially vertically down and is then deflected by the deflecting means 6 in the horizontal direction Rich. The traction means 5 runs from the deflection means 6 to the connecting element 32 of the drive 3. The traction means 5 is here directly connected to the end of the connecting element 32 pointing away from the base part 31. The movement device 7 comprises the drive 3 and the traction means 5. A synchronized traction element 8a, 8b is arranged in each case, running along the longitudinal direction of the platform 2. These synchronous tension elements 8a, 8b are connected to the side parts 22 of the platform 2 via two rollers 50a, 50b and 51a, 51b. The rollers 50a, 50b, 51a, 51b are rotatably attached to the platform 2. In the following, the synchronized traction element 8a facing the front left is described. This description applies analogously to the second synchronized traction element 8b facing to the rear to the right. The synchronous tension element 8a is fixed at one end 88 at an immovable point below the platform 2 BE. From this point a first part 81 runs in the vertical direction up to the roller 50a in the first region 10, by means of which the synchronous tension element 8a is deflected in a substantially horizontal direction. A second, central part 82 extends from the roller 50a to the roller 50b, which is arranged in the second region 11 of the platform 2. The roller 50b then deflects the synchronous tension element 8a in turn in the vertical direction. A third part 83 extends from the roller 50b in the vertical direction upwards to a point which is arranged in a stationary manner above the platform. The other end 89 of the synchronizing tension element 8a is attached at this point. The synchronous tension elements 8a, 8b can be designed as chains or ropes, for example, and serve to ensure that the first area 10 and the second area 11 of the platform 2 move uniformly or synchronously when lifting and lowering.

In the first area 10 of the platform 2, the rollers 50a and 51a are connected by a synchronous shaft 90 in the illustrated embodiment. The two rollers 50a and 51a are non-rotatably arranged on the synchronizing shaft 90. The synchronizing shaft 90 is used to ensure a uniform lifting and lowering in the transverse direction of the platform 2. For this purpose, the two rollers 50a and 51a are in operative connection with the synchronous tension elements 8a and 8b. There is a frictional or form fit, which means that when the synchronous tension elements 8a and 8b move past the rollers 50a and 50b, they are forced to rotate. Such an operative connection can be established, for example, in that the synchronous traction elements 8a and 8b are designed as chains and the two rollers 50a and 50b are designed as pinions engaging in these chains. With a movement of the first Gleichlaufzu gelementes 8a relative to the roller 50a, this is set in a rotational movement and this rotational movement is transmitted to the roller 51a. The rotary movement is in turn translated by the roller 51a into a linear movement of the other synchronous tension element 8b. The same applies, of course, in the opposite direction, that is, from the synchronizing tension element 8b to the synchronizing element 8a. In the case shown, the deflection means 6 and the synchronizing shaft 90 are not shown in FIG arranged vertically directly below each other. However, a particularly low-tension construction results from arranging the synchronizing shaft 90 and thus the two rollers 50a and 50b together with the deflection means 6 in a vertical line of action. The illustrated embodiment with two movement devices 7 and a movement synchronized via a synchronous shaft 90 is particularly reliable and inexpensive to manufacture. Such a device has a redundancy of two drives 3, so that the device is still fully functional despite the failure of a drive 3. Uniform lifting and lowering of the platform 2 is reliably ensured in the longitudinal direction by means of synchronizing elements 8a and 8b and in the transverse direction by the synchronizing shaft 90. The horizontal arrangement of the drives 3 on the side parts 22 means that only very little installation space is required for the drives 7 and the movement devices 7, so that such a device optimally utilizes the available space for parking objects, especially vehicles.

2 shows a schematic, perspective view of a second embodiment of a device. The embodiment shown in FIG. 2 differs from the embodiment provided in FIG. 1 by the arrangement of the drive 3. Except for this arrangement, the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is identical to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1. For reasons of clarity the identical components are only partially provided with reference symbols. For these identical components, reference is made to FIG. 1 and the associated description. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, too, the base part 31 of the drive 3 is firmly connected to a side part 22 of the platform 2. The drive 3 thus also moves here together with the platform 2. The drive 3 is aligned such that the connecting element 32 points away from the deflection means 6. When the connecting element 32 is extended from the base part, this movement is thus also directed away from the deflection means 6. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the drive 3 is inverted angeord net, so that the connecting element 32 moves towards the deflection means 6 when extending from the base part. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the traction means 5 is connected to the connecting element 32 via a connecting piece. This mediating piece 322 is required here in order to guide the traction means 5 past the base part 31. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 Darge, the entire movement device 7 is arranged in the first area 10 of the platform 2. This arrangement is more compact than in the embodiment shown in FIG.

3 shows a schematic, perspective view of a third embodiment of a device. The embodiment shown in Fig. 3 differs from the embodiment provided in Fig. 1 is the arrangement or positioning of the drive 3 and the connection of the traction means 5 to the connecting element 32. The other parts and Elements of the device in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 are identical to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1. For these parts and elements, reference is therefore made to the description of FIG. 1. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the drive 3 is arranged in such a way that the direction when the connecting element 32 extends out of the base part 31 points away from the deflection means 6. The end of the Zugmit means 5 facing away from the anchor point 4 is connected in FIG. 3 to a tension point 53 fixedly arranged on the side part 22 of the platform 2. From this pulling point 53, the pulling means 5 initially runs to a deflecting roller 321 rotatably attached to the tip of the connecting element 32. The pulling means 5 is guided around the deflecting roller 321 and then continues in an essentially horizontal direction to the deflecting means 6. In this embodiment the force or movement of the connecting element 32 is transmitted indirectly, that is, via the pulley 321 to the train 5. The tension point 53 serves as a force introduction into the platform 2 and is arranged to be immovable with respect to the base part 31. This arrangement increases the power of the drive 3 in the manner of a pulley.

4 shows a schematic, perspective view of a fourth embodiment of a device. In this fourth embodiment, in contrast to the embodiments shown in Fig. 1 to 3 Darge presented the drive 3 is not arranged on the platform 2 but attached to the platform 2 outside half. The drive 3 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 therefore does not move together with the platform 2. The anchor point 4 in the embodiment shown, on the other hand, is located on the platform 2, on its side part 22, and moves together with the platform 2. The traction means 5 begins at this anchor point 4 and from there initially runs vertically upwards to a deflection means 6 which is fixed in place outside the platform. The traction means 5 is deflected by the deflection means 6 in a hori zontal direction. The drive 3 is aligned here in such a way that the direction of movement of the connecting element 32 is directed towards the deflection means 6 when it is extended from the base part 31. The traction means 5 is directly connected to the end of the connecting element 32 facing away from the base part 31. In this embodiment, drive 3 and deflection means 6 are particularly space-saving above, for example on the ceiling of the part of the building belonging to the device. In this embodiment, the platform 2 is particularly simple to design and manufacture. In contrast to the embodiments in FIGS. 1 to 3, the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 does not have a synchronous shaft 90. Of course, such a synchronous shaft 90 can also be provided in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the two synchronous tension elements 8a and 8b are constructed analogously to the embodiment shown in FIG. For the synchronous tension elements 8a and 8b, reference is therefore made to the description of FIG. 1. 5 shows a schematic, perspective view of a fifth embodiment of a device. In this embodiment, two platforms 2 arranged one above the other are seen before. The two platforms 2 are constructed identically. The two platforms 2 are connected parallel to one another at a constant distance via four spacer elements 23. These spacer elements 23 can be made rigid or flexible. It is also possible to arrange more than two platforms 2 one above the other in this way. The platform 2 shown above corresponds to the platform 2 from the embodiment from FIG. 1 and has two movement devices 7. These movement devices 7 are identical to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is performed. It is of course also possible to provide two or more platforms 2 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 with a stationary drive 3. In general, two or more platforms 2 can be provided for all illustrated and described embodiments.

6 shows a schematic, perspective view of a sixth embodiment of a device. In this embodiment, in contrast to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, only one movement device 7 with a drive 3 is provided. The drive 3 is attached below the shelf 21 and for this reason is shown in dashed lines. This arrangement below the storage area 21 is also particularly space-saving and at the same time very easily accessible for maintenance work in a vertically upwardly moved position of the platform 2. The drive 3 thus moves here together with the platform 2. Also arranged below the platform 2 is a deflecting means 6 designed as a rotatable roller. The anchor point 4 is here stationary above the first area 10 of the platform 2. The traction means 5 initially runs vertically downwards from the anchor point 4 and is then deflected by the deflection means 6 in the horizontal direction towards the drive 3. The train means 5 is here directly connected to the connecting element 32 of the drive 3. The entire movement device 7 is arranged centrally in the transverse direction of the platform 2 here. The embodiment shown has the advantage that only one movement device 7 is provided and thus fewer components are present than in the embodiments shown above. Of course, a device can also have only a single movement device 7, in which the drive, as shown and described in FIG. 4, is arranged in a stationary manner above the platform and the anchor point 4 is connected to the platform 2. The embodiment shown in FIG. 4 also has a synchronized shaft 90 and two synchronized tension elements 8a, 8b. For these components, reference is made to the description of FIG. 1.

7 shows a schematic side view of a seventh embodiment of a device. In this side view, an embodiment of a device can be seen in which the platform 2 is designed to be movable in both the vertical and horizontal directions. The plat- form 2 is shown in its lower position, from which it can be moved vertically upwards. The drive 3 is fastened with its base part 31 to the platform 2 and moves together with it. Also arranged on the platform 2 is a deflection means 6 in the form of a rotatably mounted roller. The anchor point 4 is designed to be variable in position here and is attached to the ceiling of a building section above the platform 2. The anchor point 4 is displaceable in its horizontal position. An adjusting drive (not shown) is provided for this shift. By means of this adjustment drive, the anchor point 4 can be moved from its position shown with continuous lines, for example, into the position 4 'shown in dashed lines. The direction of movement of anchor point 4 is symbolized by double arrow 43. The anchor point 4 in this embodiment also includes a brake 41. This brake 41 serves to clamp the traction means 5 at the anchor point 4 and thus to fix it. In this embodiment, the traction means 5 extends from the connecting element 32 of the drive 3 via the deflection means 6 vertically upwards to the anchor point 4, where it is fixed by the brake 41 in the state shown. From the anchor point 4, the traction mechanism 5 continues to a traction mechanism store 51. This traction mechanism store 51 holds further traction mechanism 5 in stock. Such a traction mechanism storage device 51 can for example be designed as a roller or winch. In the state shown, in which the traction means 5 is fi xed at the anchor point 4, when the drive 3 is actuated, the platform 2 moves in the vertical direction.

In order to move the platform 2 in the horizontal direction, starting from the state shown in FIG. 7 with solid lines, the following steps are carried out: First, the brake 41 is released so that the traction means 5 is no longer fixed at the anchor point 4. At closing, the anchor point 4 is moved by the adjustment drive, not shown, in its hori zontal position, for example up to the position 4 'shown in dashed lines. The brake 41 is then fixed again so that the traction device 5 is clamped again at the anchor point 4. During the horizontal movement of the anchor point 4 in the direction of the Posi tion 4 ', traction means 5 is removed from the traction means storage device 51. While the anchor point 4 is moving, the platform 2 does not yet move. The adjustment drive is only provided to change the horizontal position of the anchor point 4. As soon as the anchor point 4 has reached the position 4 ', a horizontal movement of the platform 2 is also possible. For this purpose, a deflector 95 is first brought into position so that it engages in the traction means 5 running vertically downward from the position 4 'of the anchor point 4. The deflector 95 can be designed in various ways and is suitable to be in an active state in which it engages in the traction means 5 and a passive state in which it does not engage in the traction means 5. In the active state of the deflector 95 this fixes the ver tical course of the traction means 5 between the position 4 'of the anchor point 4 and the Umlen ker 95. If the drive 3 is now actuated, the platform 2 is in the horizontal direction first moved towards the deflector 95. Such a horizontal movement of the platform 2 is useful, for example, in storage systems in which a particularly high packing density of objects is to be achieved. After the horizontal movement of the platform 2 to the left, the deflector 95 can then be converted into the passive state. Upon further actuation of the drive 3, the platform 2, as previously described, is now lifted by the interplay of connecting element 32, deflection means 6 and anchor point 4 in position 4 'in the vertical direction. For a horizontal movement of the platform 2 to the right, an elastically acting energy storage device, such as a spring, can be provided, for example, which pulls the platform 2 back into its state shown in solid lines. In the embodiment shown, the movement drive 7 is used both for a vertical and for a horizontal movement of the platform 2. Whether a horizontal or a vertical movement takes place is determined here by the position of the anchor point 4. This anchor point 4 can be positioned in its horizontal position by an adjustment drive who the. In this embodiment, only a single powerful drive 3 for moving the platform 2 is required. All that is required to adjust the horizontal position of the platform 2 is a simply constructed adjusting drive. Of course, the principle of a horizontally movable anchor point 4 can also be combined with other embodiments in order to achieve horizontal mobility of the platform 2.

8 shows a schematic side view of an eighth embodiment of a device. In this eighth embodiment, too, both vertical and horizontal movement of the platform 2 is possible. The technical principle for moving the platform 2 in the vertical direction is identical to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1: a drive 3 is provided which is arranged on the platform 2 and has a horizontally movable connecting element 32. A traction means 5 extends from this connecting element 32 via a deflecting means 6 also arranged on the platform 2 to a stationary anchor point 4. To move the platform 2 in the horizontal direction, a horizontal gear 96 is provided. This horizontal gear 96 can optionally be connected to the drive 3. For a vertical movement of the platform 2, the drive 3, as described above, is connected to the train means 5. If a horizontal movement of the platform 2 takes place, the connec tion between the drive 3 and the traction device is temporarily separated. Instead, the drive 3 is connected to the horizontal gear 96. If the drive 3 is now actuated, the horizontal gear 96 generates a movement of the platform 2 in the horizontal direction. In the embodiment shown, a towing means 98 is provided, which runs from the horizontal gear 96 to a drag point 97. When the drive 3 is actuated, the horizontal transmission 96 generates a movement of the towing means 98. The towing means 98 is drawn into the horizontal transmission 96. As a result, the platform 2 is pulled along the towing means 98 to the towing point 97 arranged on the left and thus moved in the horizontal direction. A movement in the opposite direction can be generated by an elastic energy store, such as a spring. Such an elastic energy store is not shown here. Alternatively, the towing means 98 can also be designed in such a way that a power transmission is possible in two directions. For this purpose, the towing means 98 can be made rigid, for example as a toothed rack. In this embodiment, the horizontal gear 96 is designed so that it moves along the rigidly designed Schleppmit means 98 when the drive 3 is actuated. Here, in the horizontal gear 96, a linear movement of the drive 3 can be translated into a rotational movement of a pinion, which in turn engages in a drag means 98 designed as a toothed rack. If the desired horizontal position of the platform 2 is reached by the interaction of drive 3, horizontal gear 96 and towing means 98, the horizontal gear 96 can be separated from the drive again and this can be connected again to the traction mechanism 5 to generate a vertical movement of the platform 2. The embodiment shown in Fig. 8 also enables both a vertical and a horizontal movement of the platform 2 with only one drive 3. The execution shown in Fig. 8 can of course also with a horizontally movable anchor point 4, as in the in Fig. 7 shown embodiment, can be combined.
