Is lowered to the car loading / unloading section 3. Lifting stage 13
Passes through the landing position, descends to a predetermined position in the pit 4, and the vehicle is transferred from the elevating stage 13 to the turning stage 20 above the opening of the pit 4. Subsequently, the turning stage 20 is turned 180 ° by the turning drive device, and the front of the car is directed to the entrance 5.

Here, the occupant enters the car entry / exit section 3 and gets on the car. The car exits the car entrance / exit section 3 through the entrance / exit port 5 as the car advances.

When leaving the car from the second parking tower 2, first, the elevator stage 13 of the elevator 10 is raised to the storage unit 30 and the car is loaded, similarly to the case of leaving the first parking tower 1. On the other hand, in the communication path 40 on the second floor above the ground, the transport stage 13 is on standby in the hoistway 11 of the second parking tower 2 on the traversing guide rail 51. Next, lifting stage 1
3 is lowered and passes through the transfer stage 42, and at the same time, the vehicle is transferred from the lift stage 13 to the transfer stage 42.

Next, the transport stage 42 is moved on the traversing guide rails 51 toward the first parking tower 1, and the automobile is transported.

When the transport stage 42 is moved to the hoistway 11 of the first parking tower 1, the elevator 13, which is waiting in advance, is lifted downward and passes through the transport stage 13. Elevating stage 1
Handed over to 3. Subsequently, when the transfer stage 42 is moved to a position outside the hoistway 11, the lift stage 13
Is lowered to a predetermined position in the pit 4 after passing through the landing position, and the vehicle is transferred from the elevating stage 13 to the turning stage 20 above the opening of the pit 4. Subsequently, the turning stage 20 is turned 180 ° by the turning drive device, and the front of the automobile is directed to the entrance 5.
Here, the occupant enters the car entry / exit section 3 and gets on the car. The car exits the car entrance / exit section 3 through the entrance / exit port 5 as the car advances.

In the case where the leaving of the car continues, the car can be continuously taken out by placing the next car to be taken out on the transfer stage 42 and waiting on the communication path 40.

As described above, according to the first embodiment,
A first parking tower 1 is provided with a car entrance / exit section 3 and a first parking tower 1 having the entrance / exit section and a second parking tower having no entrance / exit section.

The parking facilities of the first and second embodiments are further provided
Can be changed as follows: (1) According to the scale of the parking facility, the communication path 40 is formed on an entire arbitrary one level different from the level of the entrance / exit section 3 of the vehicle, and a plurality of transfer stages 42 are arranged. in this case,
Instead of the parking shelves 31 at both ends of the connection path 40, the transport stage 4
2 evacuation space is provided. As a result, the vehicle can be transported more quickly between the parking towers 1 and 2.
(2) According to the scale of the parking facility, the communication path 40 is formed in any of a plurality of levels different from the level of the entrance / exit section 3 of the car, and one transport stage 42 is arranged in each level. Thereby, the vehicle can be transported between the parking towers 1 and 2 more quickly. (3) According to the scale of the parking facility, the communication path 40 is formed in any of a plurality of levels different from the level of the car entrance / exit unit 3, and a plurality of transport stages 42 are arranged in each level. In this case, similarly to the above (1), the communication path 40 is formed on the entire floor, and a retreat space for the transfer stage 42 is provided at both ends thereof. Thereby, the vehicle can be transported between the parking towers 1 and 2 more quickly.

In each of the above embodiments, the double tower type parking equipment is described, but the present invention can of course be similarly applied to a case where three or more parking towers are provided.
Further, the present invention can be similarly applied to warehouse equipment, and in this case, the same operation and effect can be obtained.

As is apparent from the above embodiments, according to the articulated storage equipment of the present invention, articles can be stored in and out of a plurality of storage equipment on the landing floor of the elevator. Between the storage facility having an article entry / exit section and the storage facility not having an article entry / exit section, a communication path formed in a different level from the article entry / exit section, and on this communication path It is equipped with a transport mechanism that is installed and reciprocates on a fork-shaped transport platform so that the elevator can pass through it, so that storage equipment with an article entry and exit section and storage equipment without an article entry and exit section In addition, means for transporting articles is provided with a simple structure, and in terms of its configuration, parts can be shared and existing parts can be used many times, so that overall cost can be reduced.
