DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a front view showing a three-dimensional storage according to an embodiment of the present invention. The three-dimensional hangar includes a support 1 arranged in the center, fixed rails 3 a and 3 b arranged in multiple stages around the support 1, and the fixed rail 3.
a, a plurality of pallets 2 suspended in a cantilever manner on 3b,
And an elevator 4 that moves the support 1 up and down.
A storage object 5 such as a motorcycle is loaded on a pallet 2 suspended by an elevator 4, lifted up and down to a predetermined position by the elevator 4, and suspended on the fixed rails 3a and 3b together with the pallet 2. The storage object 5 is stored three-dimensionally by being suspended on the fixed rails 3a and 3b provided in multiple stages.

As described above, since the column 1 is disposed at the center of the three-dimensional storage, and the plurality of pallets 2 are suspended around the fixed rails 3a and 3b, the storage object 5 is supported around the three-dimensional storage. There is no need to provide a wall surface, and a three-dimensional hangar can be obtained regardless of whether it is above or below the ground. In FIG. 1, the fixed rails 3a and 3b and the pallet 2 are shown in cross section. Further, the pallet 2 indicated by a two-dot chain line in the figure is a view of the pallet 2 suspended on the elevator 4 viewed from the side, and includes the pallet 2 suspended on the fixed rails 3a and 3b and the pallet 2 suspended on the elevator. Indicates the same shape.

The column 1 is formed of a cylindrical or polygonal structure, and extends vertically upward from the GL. The cross-sectional shape of the column 1 is set so as to have sufficient strength even when the pallet 2 around which the stored items 5 are loaded is suspended. The column 1 has a recess 1a extending in the axial direction. The elevator 4 moves up and down in the recess 1a. An umbrella 6 that protects the stored object 5 from rain, snow, sunlight, and the like is provided at the upper end of the column 1. The drive device 7 of the elevator 4 is provided in the internal space of the umbrella 6. Elevator 4
It is connected to the lower end of a chain or a wire rope 8 hanging from the driving device 7. The elevator 4 is moved up and down by winding the wire rope 8 with the driving device 7.

The fixed rails 3a and 3b are composed of a pair of upper and lower rails 3a and 3b, and are attached around the column 1 in five steps, for example. For the upper row rail 3a, a section steel having an L-shaped cross section is used, and for the lower row rail, a cross section T is used.
A shaped steel bar is used.

As shown in FIG. 2, a five-stage fixed rail 3
a and 3b are formed in a plane circular shape, and a notch 9 is formed in a part of the circumferential direction (in the vicinity of the concave portion 1a of the column 1).
The elevator 4 has movable short rails 10a, 10b in the form of short arcs adapted to the cutouts 9 of the fixed rails 3a, 3b.
Is provided. The elevator 4 has fixed rails 3a, 3b
Moving up and down to the same level as
b is fitted into each of the fixed rails 3a and 3b to form a circular rail. A maximum number of pallets, for example, seven pallets 2, which can be arranged, are radially suspended on the fixed rails 3a and 3b. The elevator 4 also has fixed rails 3a,
The pallet 2 is suspended so as to be adjacent to the pallet 2 suspended on 3b.

FIG. 3 shows the pallet 2 suspended on the elevator 4. As mentioned above, elevator 4
Is a movable rail 1 corresponding to the fixed rails 3a and 3b.
Reference numerals 0a and 10b are attached in upper and lower two rows. For the upper row movable rail 10a, a section steel having an L-shaped cross section is used similarly to the upper row rail 3a, and for the lower row movable rail 10b,
A section steel having a T-shaped cross section is used similarly to the lower row rail 3b.

The pallet 2 has a substantially L-shaped cross section,
Is mounted on a rectangular bottom plate 2b, a side plate frame 2c fixed to one end of the bottom plate 2b, and fixed to the upper end of the side plate frame 2c. And an upper frame 2a having a planar arc shape. The bottom plate 2b is provided with a clamp portion, a groove, and the like for supporting the storage object 5. The pallet 2 is moved on the movable rails 10a and 10b by running wheels. The pallet 2 is provided with two upper and lower turning rollers 11a and 11b as traveling wheels. Upper turning roller 11a
Rotates about a horizontal axis and has a V-shaped groove on the running surface. This groove engages with the upper row movable rail 10a and travels. On the other hand, the lower turning roller 11b rotates about a vertical axis, the running surface is flat, and the lower row movable rail 10b is rotated.
Press b to run. Thus, the weight of the pallet 2 for storing the storage items 5 is supported by the upper row movable rails 10a,
The moment due to the eccentricity of the center of gravity is compensated by the side surface of the groove of the upper turning roller 11a and the pressing surface of the lower turning roller 11b, and the pallet 2 is suspended in a cantilever manner.

Here, the pallet 2 is mounted on the movable rail 10
Although the case where the pallet 2 is suspended on the fixed rails 3a and 3b is described above, the pallet 2 is also suspended on the fixed rails 3a and 3b, and moves on the fixed rails 3a and 3b by the traveling wheels.

FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 show the elevator 4. FIG. 4 is a front view of the elevator 4, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the elevator 4. The elevator 4 is framed in a substantially square shape and is driven by a wire rope 8 connected to the upper end. The elevator 4 moves up and down along guide rails 12 provided on both sides of the elevator 4. The guide rails 12 extend in the vertical direction, and are provided in a total of two rows on the left and right sides of the elevator 4. The elevator 4 has a guide rail 12
For example, two guide rollers 13 are attached to the left and right, respectively. The guide roller 13 has a V-shaped groove and engages with the guide rail 12 to travel up and down. For this reason, the swing of the elevator 4 in the horizontal direction is limited, and the pallet 2 can oppose the moment due to the eccentricity of the center of gravity.

At the upper end of the elevator 4, a transfer device 14 for transferring the pallet 2 between the elevator 4 and the fixed rails 3a, 3b is mounted. As shown in FIG. 6, the transfer device 14 includes a pair of drive sources 15 fixed to the upper end of the elevator 4, and a drive roller 16 directly connected to a rotation shaft of the drive source 15. The drive roller 16 presses the upper frame 2a of the pallet 2 (see FIG. 3).

As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG.
When the drive roller 16 is operated in a state where the horizontal heights of the horizontal rails 0a and 10b are matched with the horizontal heights of the fixed rails 3a and 3b, the pallet 2 is frictionally driven by the frictional force and moves along the movable rails 10a and 10b. To turn in the direction of the arrow in the figure. Then, the pallet 2 suspended on the movable rails 10a and 10b turns and moves to the fixed rails 3a and 3b. Since the maximum number of pallets are suspended close to the fixed rails 3a, 3b, the movable rails 10a, 3b
When the pallet 2 suspended on 10b is activated, the pallets 2 suspended on the fixed rails 3a, 3b are activated sequentially. Therefore, the pallet 2 suspended on the movable rails 10a and 10b and the pallet group suspended around the fixed rails 3a and 3b rotate integrally, and the pallet 2 moves between the elevator 4 and the fixed rails 3a and 3b. Is delivered.

As described above, the transfer device 14 only needs to be provided in the elevator 4 only.
Drives the pallet 2 using the friction between the pallet 2 and the drive roller 16, so that there is no need to provide any device or parts for driving the pallet 2 on the fixed rails 3a, 3b side. Therefore, a very simple and economic structure can be obtained.

A case where a storage object 5 such as a motorcycle is stored will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 1, the elevator 4 on which the pallet 2 is suspended is lowered to the lowest storage position. Then, the storage object 5 such as a motorcycle is loaded on the pallet 2 at the storage position. Next, the elevator 4 is raised to a prescribed position while the stored object 5 is loaded. The movable rails 10a and 10b attached to the elevator 4 are located at the same level as the fixed rails 3a and 3b, and the fixed rails 3a and 3b and the movable rails 10a and 10b form a circular rail. Next, the transfer device 14 is driven, and the pallet group that is suspended around the fixed rails 3a, 3b and the movable rails 10a, 10b is rotated integrally by the frictional force of the driving roller 16 (see FIG. 6). Fixed rails 3a, 3
b, the first empty pallet 2 suspended on the elevator 4
When the movable rails 10a and 10b reach
4 is stopped. Then, the storage data of the loading pallet 2 (for example, the number of steps and the turning angle of the fixed rails 3a and 3b) is stored in the storage device of the computer, and the storing operation is completed. Here, the drive device 7 and the transfer device 14 of the elevator 4 are controlled by a control device of a computer.

If the next step is to enter the warehouse, the elevator 4 is lowered and the above-described warehouse operation is repeated.

The case where the next step is delivery is described. First, the storage data of the loading pallet 2 instructed to leave the warehouse is subjected to arithmetic processing by an arithmetic unit of a computer. Then, based on the processing value, the elevator 4 is moved up and down to the height of the pallet 2 on which the storage object of the leaving instruction is loaded. Next, the pallet group around this position is turned integrally by the transfer device 14 in the same manner as in the case of the above-described storage. When the loading pallet 2 instructed to leave the warehouse reaches the position of the elevator 4, the turning is stopped. Thereby, the loading pallet 2 instructed to leave the warehouse is transferred from the fixed rails 3a and 3b to the elevator 4. Next, the elevator 4 on which the pallet 2 is suspended
, And the unloading operation is completed. Then, the stored object 5 such as a motorcycle is taken down from the pallet. When the unloading operation is completed, the data stored in the pallet is deleted from the storage device of the computer.

As described above, the empty pallet 2 is suspended from the elevator 4 in each of the cases where the entry operation and the exit operation are completed. For this reason, it is possible to obtain a three-dimensional hangar that can quickly enter without having to spend time searching for an empty pallet. Further, since the pallet 2 is used, various vehicles such as motorcycles, bicycles, scooters, and the like can be stored without limitation.

Although the embodiment in which the loading / unloading position is at the lowermost limit of the three-dimensional storage is described, the loading / unloading position is not limited to the lowermost limit, and the same function can be applied to the uppermost limit or the middle part. For example, when a three-dimensional hangar is installed in an underground pit, the uppermost limit is naturally the entrance / exit position. Further, in the above embodiment, the support 1 is formed of a cylindrical structure, and the fixed rail 3 is provided around the support 1.
Although a case has been described in which the circular rails are constituted by the movable rails a and 3b and the movable rails 10a and 10b, the present invention is not necessarily limited to a circular shape, but may be an elliptical or elliptical rail. By using elliptical or elliptical rails, the number of suspended pallets 2 can be increased.

[0027]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The three-dimensional hangar includes a support, a fixed rail provided in multiple stages around the support, an elevator that moves up and down the support, and a transfer device that transfers a pallet between the elevator and the fixed rail. . Since the pillars are arranged in the center of the three-dimensional hangar and a plurality of pallets are suspended around the fixed hangers via fixed rails, there is no need to provide a wall to support the stored objects around the three-dimensional hangar. A three-dimensional hangar that can be applied regardless of the situation is obtained. Further, since the pallet is used, the stored object is not limited to a bicycle or the like, and a three-dimensional hangar that can be used for various purposes can be obtained.
