Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a parking device, for example, in an elevator-type parking device, eliminates dead space generated when a pallet constituting a vehicle storage shelf is traversed by handing over, easing restrictions on vehicles to be stored, and simplifying manufacturing and assembly. In addition to this, it is possible to efficiently park vehicles having different vehicle heights.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an elevator type parking device has been used as one of the parking devices, and its basic structure is, for example, as shown in FIG. An elevator car (elevator) 2 that moves up and down inside the building 1 is provided. A plurality of stages of vehicle storage shelves 4 are provided on both left and right sides of a lift path 3 of the elevator cage 2, and a lift path 3 of the elevator cage 2 is provided. Is provided on the front surface of the lower end of the vehicle, and an entrance 6 is provided so that the vehicle C can directly enter the pallet 5 supported by the elevator car 2.
[0003]
At the lower end of the elevating route 3 corresponding to the entrance / exit 6, a turntable is provided as needed so that the direction of the vehicle can be changed.
[0004]
Further, in the elevator parking device, a delivery device (not shown) is provided between the vehicle storage shelf 4 and the elevator cage 2 for delivering the pallet 5 on which the vehicle C is mounted. Delivery of the pallet 5 is performed between the shelf 4 and the elevator cage 2 to store and retrieve the vehicle.
[0005]
In addition, as a form of an elevator type parking device, an entrance / exit port may be provided at an upper end portion or an intermediate portion of a lift path of an elevator car.
[0006]
In addition, the vehicle storage shelves may be arranged in one row on each side of the ascending / descending route, may be arranged in two rows, or may be arranged on only one of the left and right sides.
[0007]
In such an elevator type parking device, for example, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), pallet rollers 7 are attached to the four corners of the lower surface of the pallet 5 so as to be able to traverse in the transfer direction (transverse direction). On the other hand, on each of the vehicle storage shelves 4, a traversing rail 8 on which pallet rollers 7 traverse are disposed on both sides (front and rear) in a direction perpendicular to the traverse, and a bracket 10 which projects horizontally back and forth on a support 9 of the building 1 forming a vehicle storage space. The traverse rail 8 is mounted and fixed on the bracket 10 so that the pallet 5 is traversed on the traverse rail 8 so that the pallet 5 also serves as a shelf plate of the vehicle storage shelf 4. .
[0008]
The elevator car 2 is provided with rails that can be connected to the two traversing rails 8 of each of the vehicle storage shelves 4 and also provided with a transfer device. For example, a tip of a rotary lever provided in the elevator car 2 is provided. A method is employed in which the vehicle C is transferred together with the pallet 5 by engaging the engaging roller with a guide groove provided on the pallet 5 and rotating the rotation lever.
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in such an elevator type parking device, the storage space of the vehicle C formed on the pallet 5 which also serves as a shelf plate in each of the vehicle storage shelves 4 is, as shown in FIG. The traverse rail 8 for supporting the pallet 5 and the bracket 10 for supporting the same protrude below the upper pallet 5, so that the vehicle C can move in the front-rear direction. Dead spaces D are formed at both ends.
[0010]
For this reason, although there is no particular problem in a vehicle such as a normal passenger car, a part of the vehicle C enters the dead space D in a vehicle equipped with a rear spoiler or a one-box vehicle equipped with a rear under mirror. In some cases, there is a problem that the entry of such vehicles must be restricted, and it is detected whether or not a part of the entered vehicle C is in the dead space D even for the ordinary vehicle C. Therefore, there is a problem that it is necessary to provide an area sensor or the like constituted by optical sensors having a large number of optical axes.
[0011]
Further, in order to configure each of the vehicle storage shelves 4, the traversing rails 8 must be arranged corresponding to the respective shelf positions, and the traverse rails 8 must be attached to the columns 9 via the brackets 10, so that the number of parts is large. There is also a problem that the attachment is difficult and the cost is increased.
[0012]
Further, in the conventional elevator-type parking devices, the storage space is preset for a normal vehicle or a one-box vehicle, and the preset number of stored vehicles is changed even if the number of one-box vehicles increases as the number of vehicles to be entered. On the other hand, a normal vehicle can be stored in a storage space for a one-box vehicle, but a wasteful space increases, and there is a problem that parking cannot be efficiently performed in any case.
[0013]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the related art, and there is no dead space in the storage space of the vehicle on the vehicle storage shelf, and there is no need to limit the vehicles to be stored by equipment or the like. An object of the present invention is to provide a parking device that can be simplified and can efficiently park according to the height of a vehicle that enters a parking lot.
