Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a mechanical parking facility. More specifically, the present invention relates to a mechanical parking facility in which a parking space is provided mainly on the ground, and various transport devices are provided to transport devices for loading and unloading vehicles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Mechanical parking equipment installed on the ground generally has a parking tower in which an outer wall panel is attached to a steel frame structure such as columns, beams and braces. This parking tower will be high-rise to accommodate many vehicles in a small site in urban areas where land prices are high. Also, because it is installed in the valley of a group of high-rise buildings, it often receives so-called building wind.

On the other hand, parking facilities are equipped with a lot of facilities that use electric power, such as opening and closing doors, transporting vehicles to and from vehicles, lighting, transmitting and receiving various control signals, and displaying electricity for advertisement. And, these facilities are generally supplied with electric power from a commercial power source. Moreover, these facilities do not always consume a large amount of electric power.

The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and by skillfully utilizing the location condition of the parking facility, the electric power for supplying the facility is produced in the parking facility to consume the commercial power. The object is to provide a so-called energy-saving mechanical parking facility that can be suppressed as much as possible.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A mechanical parking facility of the present invention comprises a parking tower which is erected on the ground, a drive unit for transporting vehicles disposed in the parking tower, and a wind turbine of the parking tower. And a wind power generator installed so as to be exposed to the outside.

With such a structure, the building wind can be effectively taken into the wind turbine of the wind power generator, and at least a part of the electric power required for each device of the parking facility can be self-sufficiently supplied. Also,
When the height of the parking tower is higher than that of a nearby building, the wind for wind power generation can be naturally taken in efficiently.

Further, it is preferable to dispose an electric storage device capable of storing the electric power obtained by the wind power generator in the parking facility. This is because, in general, parking equipment does not always use a large amount of electric power and is often used intermittently, so that electric energy can be stored for the operation of a vehicle transport device.

Further, it is preferable that a drive device having an electric motor is used as the drive device and a regenerative current control circuit is connected to the electric motor. This is because the regenerative current can be supplied to the driving device and can also be supplied as electric power for other devices such as lighting.

In the parking facility provided with the drive device to which the regenerative current control circuit is connected, a mechanical parking facility in which the regenerative current control circuit is connected to the power storage device is preferable. This is because electric power can be supplied to various devices by accumulating the regenerative current as electric energy.

A mechanical parking facility having a charging device capable of charging a storage battery mounted on an electric vehicle and having the charging device connected to the power storage device is preferable. Generally, it takes a long time to charge the storage battery of the electric vehicle, but the electric vehicle can be charged while the parking facility is parked.

Further, an exhaust device for sucking the air in the parking tower and discharging the air to the outside of the parking tower is arranged, and the wind turbine is arranged so as to receive exhaust gas from the exhaust device as wind force. A mechanical parking facility is preferred. This is because when the exhaust device is operating, the exhaust can rotate the wind turbine, so that a part of the electric power that the exhaust device should consume can be saved.

As this parking facility, an exhaust device has a duct having an intake part opened inside the parking tower and an exhaust part opened outside the parking tower, and a suction for sucking and discharging the air inside the parking tower through this duct. Means and the wind turbine can be arranged at the exhaust of the duct. The suction means is, for example, a fan or a blower.

A mechanical parking facility in which a mass body for changing the natural frequency of the parking tower is detachably attached to the parking tower is preferable. This is because it is possible to suppress the operation of the vehicle conveyance drive device of the parking facility and the vibration of the parking tower due to the building wind.

Further, the parking tower has a steel frame structure and an outer wall attached to the steel frame structure, and a plurality of mass bodies are attached to the steel frame structure so as to be adjustable. Parking facilities are preferred. This is because the natural frequency of the parking tower can be changed with a simple configuration.
