Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vertical circulation type parking device, and more particularly to a parking device for a low-height ordinary vehicle which is already in operation. The present invention relates to a method for remodeling an existing vertical circulation type parking device for remodeling so that it can be parked for high-roof vehicles and heavy vehicles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, there has been proposed a vertical circulation type parking apparatus which is called a so-called tower parking, and is capable of rotating a large number of automobiles in a vertical direction like a merry-go-round to enter and exit a car. As shown in FIG. 3, the vertical circulation type parking device endlessly extends a main chain 4 between an upper sprocket 2 and a lower sprocket 3 attached to a steel frame 1 serving as a skeleton of the parking device. The plurality of ordinary car cages 5 attached to the vehicle are configured to rotate in the vertical direction. In the drawing, only two cages 5 for a normal vehicle are shown at upper and lower ends for clarity of explanation.

[0003] The ordinary car cage 5 comprises a pallet section 5a on which an automobile is mounted and suspension rings 5b fixed to both ends thereof.
And a cage suspension shaft 5c that extends horizontally above each suspension ring 5b. This cage suspension shaft 5c
Is a sliding bearing provided on the suspension ring 4b so that it can rotate about its axis.

[0004] Both ends of the cage suspension shaft 5c are fixed to the respective chain attachments 4a of the main chain 4 with connecting metal fittings interposed therebetween. This chain attachment 4a
It is a member for connecting the main chain guide roller 6 provided at both ends of one link of the main chain 4 and both ends of the cage suspension shaft 5c, and constitutes a triangular link together with one link of the main chain 4.

The main chain guide roller 6 has a rail 7
Therefore, the cage suspension shaft 5c is always positioned on the vertical line except for the upper and lower turning portions, and the cage suspension shaft 5c is extended outward and supported, and the pallet portion 5a is suspended below the cage suspension shaft 5c so that the pallet portions 5a The distance between them can be maintained, and interference with these frames and the like of the cage 5 for the ordinary vehicle can be avoided. The rails 7 are composed of an upper chain rail 7a, a middle chain rail 7b and a lower chain rail 7a.
c.

When a vehicle is to be stored in the above-described vertical circulation type parking device, the upper sprocket 2 serving as a driving device is rotated by a motor 8 so as to bridge between the upper sprocket 2 and the lower sprocket 3 serving as a driven device. With the main chain 4, the empty ordinary car cage 5 in which no car is mounted on the pallet 5a is lowered to the first floor. Next, the car is made to enter the pallet section 5a of the ordinary car cage 5 located on the first floor, and the supervisory chain 4 is raised to complete the storage. When another car is to be stored, the empty ordinary car cage 5 is lowered to the first floor in a similar manner, and the car is placed on the pallet section 5a to complete the storage.

Conversely, when the car is to be taken out of the car, the supervisory chain 4 is lowered, and the car cage 5 on which the car to be taken out is placed is lowered to the first floor. Next, the car is advanced from the pallet section 5a of the ordinary car cage 5 to complete the leaving of the car. Further, when leaving the car, the ordinary car cage 5 is lowered to the first floor, and the loaded car is advanced from the pallet section 5a to complete the removal. In this way, the upper sprocket 2 is rotated by the motor 8, the main chain 4 bridged between the upper sprocket 2 and the lower sprocket 3 is moved up and down, and the cage 5 for the ordinary car is lowered to the first floor so as to enter. Dispatch can be performed smoothly continuously.

[0008]

As shown in FIG. 1 (b), in the conventional vertical circulation type parking apparatus having the above-mentioned structure, the vertical arrangement pitch P1 of the cages 5 for the ordinary vehicles is as follows.
Normally 1600m because it is intended for the height of an ordinary car
m. For this reason, the existing ordinary car cage 5 cannot store a high-roof car having a height of about 1700 mm. Therefore, when newly constructing a vertical circulation type parking device, a parking device is arranged in which a cage for a high roof vehicle capable of storing a high roof vehicle having a high vehicle height is arranged. However, constructing a new vertical circulation type parking device has a problem that the construction cost is high.

Further, discarding most of the existing vertical recirculation parking systems simply because most of the systems are still operational but cannot accommodate the high-roof car is a waste of resources. There was also a problem of wasting money.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem. In other words, the object of the present invention is to reduce the need for a conventional vertical circulation type parking device manufactured for ordinary vehicles by exchanging only a minimum necessary device while excluding a driving device and a driven device having a high construction cost. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of remodeling an existing vertical circulation type parking device for high-roof vehicles and heavy vehicles, which can convert a high-roof vehicle or a heavy vehicle having a high vehicle height as well as a normal vehicle at a remodeling cost into a parking device capable of parking. .

[0011]

According to the present invention, the upper sprocket (2) is bridged between the upper sprocket (2) and the lower sprocket (3) attached to the steel frame (1), and the upper sprocket (2) is connected to the motor (8). The chain (4) that links the link (4b) that moves up and down by rotating it in an endless manner
A car cage (5) for mounting an automobile, and the main chain (4) for lifting the car cage (5).
And a chain attachment (4a) arranged in the vertical direction, and the existing vertical circulation type parking device provided with the chain sprocket (4a), the upper sprocket (2) and the lower sprocket (3) attached to the existing steel frame (1). Spacing (P2> P1) wider than the spacing between adjacent chain attachments (4a)
Is replaced with another main chain (11) having a chain attachment (11a) arranged in the manner described above, and the existing attachment for the ordinary car is used so that a high-roof car or a heavy-weight car can be stored in the chain attachment (11a). A method of converting an existing vertical circulation type parking device to a high roof vehicle and a heavy vehicle is characterized by mounting another high roof vehicle cage (12) higher than the cage (5) and having a load strength for a heavy vehicle. Provided.

According to the configuration of the present invention, the existing ordinary car cage (5) is used to store a high-roof vehicle having a high vehicle height so that a high-roof vehicle or a heavy vehicle can be stored. It can be replaced with a high roof car cage (12). However, this high-roof car cage (12)
Is simply replaced with this high-roof car cage (1
Since the upper and lower high-roof car cages (12) may come into contact with each other when the 2) is positioned on the vertical line, the cages (12) are arranged at a wider interval (P2> P1) than the interval between the existing adjacent chain attachments (4a). Replace it with another main chain (11) having the attached chain attachment (11a). As described above, while leaving the steel frame (1), the upper sprocket (2) and the lower sprocket (3), and most of the driving device and the driven device of the motor (8), the existing parking device dedicated for ordinary vehicles is replaced with a high-roof vehicle or the like. It can be easily and quickly retrofitted into a parking device for heavy vehicles.

In addition, the upper sprocket (2) and the lower sprocket (3) attached to the existing steel frame (1) are arranged so that the space between adjacent chain attachments (21a) is partially widened. Can be exchanged for the management chain (21).

Thus, the chain attachment (2)
1a) By partially widening the distance between each other, a high-roof vehicle having a high vehicle height is stored in the main chain (21) in addition to the cage (5) for storing a normal vehicle having a low vehicle height. A high roof car cage (12) can also be connected. That is, the existing parking device dedicated for ordinary vehicles can be modified into a parking device that can efficiently store the vehicle by mixing the high-roof vehicle and the ordinary vehicle.

[0015]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, common members are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description is omitted. FIG. 1 shows a high-roof vehicle of an existing vertical circulation type parking device according to the present invention.
It is a front view which shows the main chain (a) and the existing main chain (b) in which the new chain attachment for implementing the modification method for heavy vehicles was arranged. In the remodeling method of the present invention for high-roof vehicles and heavy vehicles, first, in the existing vertical circulation type parking device as shown in FIG. Remove the cage 5. Next, the supervisory chain 4 bridged between the upper sprocket 2 and the lower sprocket 3 is removed.

The existing upper sprocket 2 and lower sprocket 3 are replaced with the main chain 11 having the chain attachments 11a arranged at an interval P2 wider than the interval P1 between the existing chain attachments 4a. It is not always necessary that the replacement chain 11 be new. For example, the chain attachment 11
By changing the arrangement of a, the existing administrative chain 1
It is also possible to reuse 1. Such a method for replacing the main chain 11 is, for example, to attach the other main chain 11 to be replaced to the end of the existing main chain 4.
And the existing main chain 4 can be lowered from the upper sprocket 2, and at the same time, the main chain 11 to be replaced can be bridged over the upper sprocket 2.

Finally, a high-roof car cage 12 having a height for accommodating a high-roof vehicle with a high vehicle height is attached to the main chain 11 thus replaced. This high-roof car cage 12 also has a pallet section 11 on which a car is mounted.
a, suspension rings 11b fixed to both ends thereof, and a cage suspension shaft 11 penetrating horizontally above each suspension ring 11b.
c. In this way, while leaving most of the driving devices and driven devices such as the steel frame 1, the upper sprocket 2, the lower sprocket 3, and the motor 8 in the existing vertical circulation type parking device, the parking device for a high-roof vehicle or a heavy vehicle remains. Can be easily and quickly modified.

Next, the difference between the existing main chain 4 and the replaced main chain 11 will be described. Chain attachment 4 for suspending the existing ordinary car cage 5
1a, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), forms a triangular link together with one link provided at both ends of one link of the main chain 4. The adjacent chain attachment 4a is connected to the next chain attachment 4 at the fourth link.
a is constituted. Therefore, in the existing supervisory chain 4, one ordinary car cage 5 is suspended at a pitch P1 of four links.

On the other hand, in the present invention, as shown in FIG.
Thus, one high-roof car cage 12 is suspended. That is, simply replacing the existing ordinary car cage 5 with a high-roof car cage 12 may cause the upper and lower high-roof car cages 12 to come into contact with each other when the high-roof car cage 12 is positioned on a vertical line. Therefore, the interval between the adjacent chain attachments 12a is set to the fifth link which is one link larger than the existing one.

[0020] Even if the parking device is modified to a high-roof vehicle, there is no problem in storing a normal vehicle as in the prior art. Furthermore, the exchanged supervisory chain 11
Since the entire length of the chain is the same as that of the existing main chain 4, the number of the high-roof car cages 12 that can be connected to the main chain 11 is equal to that of the ordinary car cage 5.
Is relatively reduced as compared with the case of. Therefore, even with the existing vertical circulation type parking device, the total weight of the entered automobile does not change, so that a heavy vehicle can be stored.

FIG. 2 is a front view showing another embodiment of the present invention. When remodeling an existing vertical circulation type parking device, it is necessary to completely replace it with a cage 1 for a high-roof vehicle.
There is no need to change to 2. For example, it is also possible to arrange so that the distance between the chain attachments 21a adjacent to the main chain 21 is partially widened. In this way, by partially widening the distance between the chain attachments 21a, it is possible to connect the high-roof car cage 12 together with the normal car cage 5 to the main chain 21. It can be modified into a parking device that can efficiently store a vehicle by mixing it with a car and an ordinary car.

However, if the high-roof car cage 12 is mixed with the normal car cage 5 as described above, a difference occurs in the distance between the floor surface and the pallet portions 5a, 12a. (Not shown) must be provided in the entry / exit space on the first floor.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but has been described in connection with an embodiment in which a chain attachment 11a is attached to five links and a main chain 11 is replaced. 1
The number of links is not limited to one, and it is of course possible to change the pitch P2 of the cage 12 for a high-roof vehicle.

[0024]

As described above, the method of converting the existing vertical circulation type parking device of the present invention to a high-roof vehicle or a heavy vehicle is as follows.
The existing parking equipment for ordinary vehicles equipped with ordinary car cages can be easily and quickly remodeled into parking equipment for high-roof vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles simply by replacing them with the main chain and cages for high-roof vehicles. be able to.

During the conversion to a high-roof / heavy-duty vehicle, most of the driving devices and driven devices such as steel frames, upper sprockets, lower sprockets and motors can be left.
High construction costs can be suppressed.

Further, there is an excellent effect that the remodeling can be carried out at a low cost simply by exchanging only the minimum required management chain and the cage for the high-roof vehicle.
