2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a technique belonging to such a field, a technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-229655 is known. The conventional parking facility described in this publication is configured as a multi-story parking lot having a parking berth and a parking floor provided on different floors. This parking facility is provided with a lift device (elevator) for transferring vehicles between the entrance / exit berth and the parking floor. The lift device is provided with a conveyor that can transfer the vehicle in the lateral direction (the width direction of the vehicle).

[0003] The parking floor is provided with a plurality of parking sections (parking rooms) for storing vehicles, and a transport cart for transporting the vehicles between the lift device and each parking section. That is, the parking floor is provided with two parallel parking section rows each having a plurality of parking sections arranged side by side in the vertical direction (the front-rear direction of the vehicle). The transport vehicle can travel freely between these two parking section rows. In addition, each parking stall and the transport trolley have 2
Row conveyors (conveyors for front wheels and rear wheels) are provided, and are provided on these when transferring vehicles between the lift device and the transport vehicle, and between the transport vehicle and each parking section. Operate the conveyor appropriately.

[0004] Here, the conveyor of the lift device provided in the parking facility described in the publication is composed of two rows of first spiral conveyors capable of transferring a vehicle in two directions, that is, a horizontal direction and a vertical direction. A first roller conveyor disposed between the spiral conveyors and capable of transporting the vehicle in the vertical direction.
In addition, beside the stop position of the lift device in the entrance / exit berth, two rows of first horizontal transfer conveyors that can be connected to the spiral conveyor of the lift device are arranged. Further, the loading / unloading berth includes two rows of second spiral conveyors that can be connected to the first horizontal transport conveyor and a second roller conveyor that is disposed between the spiral conveyors and that can transport the vehicle in the vertical direction. Are located. In addition, two rows of second horizontal transfer conveyors that can be connected to each of the second spiral conveyors are arranged at the entrance / exit berth.

The second spiral conveyor and the second roller conveyor form an annular transfer path. Therefore, the direction of the vehicle on each conveyor can be changed by appropriately setting the operation direction (transfer direction of the vehicle) of each conveyor. Thus, for example, it is possible to change the direction so that the vehicle conveyed from the parking floor to the entrance / exit berth by the lift device can exit the vehicle by traveling forward.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
According to the parking facility described in Japanese Patent No. 229655, it is possible to always allow the vehicle to enter the parking facility forward and to leave the vehicle from the parking facility facility always forward. Ease and safety can be improved. However, the entrance / exit berth of the parking facility has an extremely complicated structure in which a spiral conveyor, a roller conveyor, and a lateral transfer conveyor are combined. Furthermore, in order to change the direction of the vehicle smoothly and reliably, it is necessary to control each of these conveyors extremely complicatedly and accurately. For this reason, the conventional parking facility has a problem that the manufacturing cost, the maintenance cost, and the like are rather increased.

[0007] On the other hand, from the viewpoint of simultaneously improving the ease and security of entering and exiting parking facilities and simplifying the structure of the entrance / exit berth, it is possible to improve the general turn-around method used in conventional parking facilities. It is conceivable to employ a table device. However, a relatively large space is required to install the turntable device at the entrance / exit berth, and depending on the installation location of the parking facility, it is often impossible to adopt the turntable device.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a parking facility which can change the direction of the vehicle at the entrance / exit berth very reliably, can be configured at low cost, and can save space. With the goal.

[0009]

In the parking facility according to the present invention, a vehicle can be parked in a plurality of parking sections from a single entrance / exit berth and parked in each parking section. A parking facility that allows vehicles to be taken out of the one entrance / exit berth, and is used to transfer vehicles between the entrance / exit berth and each parking section.
It has a conveyor and a second conveyor that can be connected to the first conveyor, and is disposed on a loading / unloading berth so as to be able to move up and down, and is provided with a turntable that can turn above the first conveyor.

[0010] In this parking facility, the first conveyor is configured, for example, to be able to transfer the vehicle in the lateral direction, and is provided on a lift device for transporting the vehicle between the entrance / exit berth and each parking section, or the entrance / exit berth itself. Be placed. The turntable is provided at a stop position of the lift device at the entrance / exit berth or at a side of the first conveyor arranged at the entrance / exit berth, and is supported by a predetermined elevating device so as to be able to move up and down. Further, the second conveyor provided on the turntable is configured, for example, to be able to transfer the vehicle in the lateral direction like the first conveyor, and is continuous with (adjacent to) the first conveyor when the turntable is lowered. ).

[0011] In the parking facility configured as described above, the direction of the vehicle can be very easily and reliably changed. That is, when changing the direction of the entering vehicle, first,
The vehicle is mounted on a second conveyor of a turntable arranged at a storage / exit berth. In this state, the turntable is raised to a predetermined height, and then turns with the vehicle mounted. Then, the turntable is lowered after being turned by a predetermined angle (generally, 180 degrees). At this time, since the second conveyor is continuous with the first conveyor, if both are operated, the vehicle turned in a desired direction is transferred from the turntable to the first conveyor. Then, the vehicle is transported from the first conveyor to the parking section by transport means such as a transport trolley.

On the other hand, according to the reverse procedure, it is possible to change the direction of the leaving vehicle. In this case, the outgoing vehicle is moved from the parking section to the first by a transport means such as a transport trolley.
It is transported to the conveyor. Then, the vehicle is transferred to the second conveyor of the turntable being lowered from the first conveyor. In this state, the turntable is raised to a predetermined height, and then turns with the vehicle mounted. The turntable is lowered after being turned by a predetermined angle, and the vehicle whose direction has been changed can be taken out of the turntable.

As described above, by configuring the turntable so as to be able to move up and down and turn above the first conveyor, the structure of the entrance / exit berth is simplified, and the manufacturing cost of the parking equipment can be reduced. . In addition, in this parking facility, it is possible to arrange the turntable and the first conveyor close to each other, so that it is possible to reduce the space of the entrance / exit berth.

[0014] It is preferable that the apparatus further comprises a third conveyor arranged on the side of the turntable and continuous with the second conveyor, wherein the turntable is pivotable above the first and third conveyors.

[0015] By adopting such a configuration, even if the user of the parking facility enters the vehicle so as to straddle the second conveyor and the third conveyor of the turntable at the time of parking, the second conveyor and the third conveyor are connected. By operating the third conveyor, it is possible to correct the vehicle so that the vehicle is properly placed on the second conveyor of the turntable. Thereby, it is possible to easily enter and exit the parking facility (access to the turntable).

Further, each of the parking sections is disposed on a parking floor provided on a floor different from the entrance / exit berth, and the first conveyor is provided with a lift device for transporting the vehicle between the entrance / exit berth and the parking floor. It is preferable that the turntable is arranged on the side of the stop position of the lift device defined on the entrance / exit berth.

It is necessary to set the gap D to be smaller than the shortest distance ds between the gaps 1f and 11r. For this reason, there is a possibility that the gap D cannot be sufficiently closed by one closing member 31A.
Based on this point, when equipping the parking facility with the gap closing device 30A, as shown in FIG.
It is preferable to dispose one 0A for each of the adjacent ends of the conveyors 5f, 5r, 11f, 11r. This makes it possible to sufficiently close the gap D near the upper surface of the conveyor belt 24 even if the narrow closing member 31A is used.

In this case, the bell crank 50 provided for one of the conveyors 5f and 5r is rotated, and the bell crank 50 provided for the other conveyors 11f and 11r is rotated first. It is rotated with the operation start timing appropriately delayed from that of the bell crank 50. Thus, after the closing member 31A attached to one bell crank 50 is inserted from below into the gap D, the closing member 31A attached to the other bell crank 50 is inserted from below. Will be. In addition,
It is also possible to form the closing member 31A with a rectangular cross section, a circular cross section, or the like. Further, it is preferable to form the back surface of the closing member 31A along the shape of the end of the conveyor 5f, 5r, 11f, 11r like the right side of the closing member 31A shown in FIG.
