Description

  The present invention relates to a mechanical parking apparatus. More specifically, a plurality of pallet rows in a state where a plurality of pallets are connected in the horizontal direction are arranged in parallel, and the pallet is transferred by transferring the pallets between the pallet rows at the transfer section at both ends of the pallet row. The present invention relates to a mechanical parking device such as a so-called box-type circulation parking device and a horizontal circulation parking device.

  Conventionally, in a housing complex in an urban area, a box-type circulation parking device installed across the ground floor and basement floor, or a horizontal circulation parking device installed in multiple rows on one plane is attached. It has been known. In such a circulation type parking device, in order to arrange as many pallets for mounting on a vehicle as possible in a limited space, the pallet dimensions (width and length) are the minimum necessary in combination with the largest vehicle type (for example, a large ordinary passenger car). Generally, it is set to a limit dimension. In this way, space saving and facility cost reduction are achieved.

  In such a circulation type parking device such as a box-type circulation parking device and a horizontal circulation type parking device, a so-called direct riding system configured such that the vehicle directly enters the pallet at one or a plurality of locations of the horizontal transfer path. There is a parking device (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  This parking device is a box-type circulating parking device with rails (lateral transfer paths) attached to the upper and lower stages, and a plurality of platforms (pallets) for mounting vehicles on each stage of the rail. is there. Vertical transfer means (lifts) for raising and lowering the platform between the upper and lower rails are disposed at the left and right ends of the upper and lower rails, respectively. This configuration allows the platform to circulate on the upper and lower rails. In addition, a direct entry part for a vehicle to enter and exit the platform is formed in a part of the upper stage (part of the second platform from the right in FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1).

As shown in FIG. 12, in the case of such a parking device 51, when the vehicle M1 is loaded and unloaded from the pallet 53 of the direct entry part 52, the vehicle M2 may already be accommodated in the adjacent pallet 54. Even if the vehicle M2 is a maximum allowable vehicle type or a small vehicle and is mounted in a state of being shifted to the direct entry pallet 53 side, the distance D between the vehicles M1 and M2 is reduced. As a result, it is difficult for the user to get on and off. For wheelchair users, getting on and off is impossible. Reference numeral 55 in the figure indicates a traverse rail of the horizontal transfer path, reference numeral 56 indicates a lift for raising and lowering the pallet, and reference numeral 57 indicates an endless chain of the lift. Reference numeral 58 denotes a traverse wheel of a pallet that rolls on the traverse rail 55 and the lift 56.

An elevating deck that can be mounted with a pallet, disposed adjacent to the direct entry section;
An elevating device for elevating the elevating deck,
The transfer unit is configured to release the connection between the pallets in the transfer direction.

The elevating deck is configured to move up and down between a first position constituting a part of the horizontal transfer path substantially coincident with a height of the horizontal transfer path and a second position elevated from the first position. Has been
A mechanical parking device that can be connected to an adjacent pallet when it is raised to the second position and is configured to be disconnected from the pallet in the transfer direction of the pallet in the transfer unit is preferable. The second position can be set to a position convenient for getting on and off the vehicle for a wheelchair user or the like.

  The traverse path includes a traverse rail, the pallet has a traverse wheel that rolls on the traverse rail, and the traverse wheel of the pallet is on an extension line of the traverse rail on the upper surface of the elevating deck. A mechanical parking device in which a guide for guiding rolling is formed is preferable.

  The elevating deck is disposed inside a pit formed on the floor surface of the horizontal transfer path, and a guide member for guiding elevating the elevating deck is disposed on the inner side surface of the pit. It is preferable that a guided member that can be engaged with the guide member is provided. This is because the lifting deck is stable.

A control device for controlling the operation of the mechanical parking device is provided,
The control device can select an operation mode in which the pallet is traversed and removed from the lifting deck when the vehicle is loaded and unloaded, the lifting deck is raised to the second position, and the desired pallet is lifted to the direct entry part. It is preferable to be configured as described above.

  According to the present invention, since the transfer part is a direct entry part, the connection between the pallet of the direct entry part and the adjacent pallet can be released. Therefore, the pallet can be excluded from above the elevating deck adjacent to the direct boarding part by integrally transferring the pallets below the adjacent pallet horizontally. And this raising / lowering deck can be raised and used for a user's boarding / alighting.

  Hereinafter, a mechanical parking apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a box-type circulating parking apparatus which is an embodiment of the parking apparatus of the present invention. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II in FIG. 1, showing the upper floor in a state where the pallet is on the lifting deck in the parking apparatus of FIG. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line III-III in FIG. 1, showing a state in which the pallet is also placed on the lifting deck and the first lift. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the pallet is removed from the upper and lower decks, and corresponds to a cross section taken along line III-III in FIG.

  This parking apparatus 1 is installed over a plurality of upper and lower floors (second floor in this embodiment), a plurality of pallets 2 for mounting the vehicle M, and two upper and lower horizontal lines for the pallet 2 to traverse. And a transfer path 3. The transverse transfer path 3 has a transverse rail 3a laid horizontally. A traverse wheel 6 that rolls on the traverse rail 3 a is attached to the lower surface of each pallet 2. A first lift 4 for raising and lowering the vehicle between the upper and lower horizontal transfer paths 3 is provided at the left end of each of the horizontal transfer paths 3 on both the upper and lower floors, and a similar second lift 5 is provided at the right end. It can be said that the lift forming portions of the horizontal transfer paths 3 on both the upper and lower floors are pallet transfer portions 8. Further, as shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the transfer unit 8 at the left end of the horizontal transfer path 3 on the upper floor constitutes the direct entry unit E. Of course, the direct entry portion E is not limited to the illustrated position, and may be the right end of the upper floor or the right end or left end of the lower floor. In short, the direct entry unit E may be provided in the transfer unit 8. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 20 denotes a beam constituting the upper floor.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a pallet turning device (turn table) 10 is provided outside the direct entry portion E of the parking device 1. This turntable 40 is for turning the vehicle 180 ° in order to enable the vehicle to enter and advance in advance.

  FIG. 5 is a view of the vicinity of the entrance / exit G of the parking apparatus 1 as seen from the outside. A first driving operation panel 36 is installed right next to the door 35 of the entrance / exit G, and a second driving operation panel 37 is installed below the first driving operation panel 36. Both operation panels 36 and 37 are connected to a control device (not shown). The first driving operation panel 36 is arranged at a height that can be operated while an adult is standing, and the second driving operation panel 37 is arranged at a height that can be operated even by a person on a wheelchair. It should be noted that “only for wheelchair users” may be displayed on the second driving operation panel 37 as necessary.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, each pallet 2 has a male and female connector (first connector) 7 for connecting to the adjacent pallet 2 on its side. The first coupler 7 is engaged and disengaged by the relative vertical movement of the connected pallets, and maintains the connection during the lateral movement. The plan view shape of the first connector 7 is substantially L-shaped as shown in FIGS.

  Since both the lifts 4 and 5 have the same configuration, the first lift 4 will be described as a representative. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, four support pillars 9 are erected at the four corners of the upper and lower transfer unit 8, and the two struts facing each other at the front and rear ends of the upper and lower transfer units 8 are laterally opposed. The support shafts 10 of the support shafts 10 are rotatably spanned and sprockets 11 are fixed to the respective drive shafts 10 at intervals. An endless chain 12 is wound around the sprocket 11 corresponding to the upper and lower sides. An elevating rail 13 for placing the pallet 2 is stretched horizontally on the chain 12 facing in the horizontal direction. When the driven shaft 10 is rotated, the elevating rail 13 is moved up and down through the rotation of the sprocket 11 and the chain 12.

  A reduction gear 14 is connected to each end of the two driven shafts 10 in the transfer unit 8 on the lower floor. On the other hand, a driving motor 15 is installed in the transfer unit 8 on the lower floor, and a driving shaft 16 is connected to the driving motor 15. Each end of the drive shaft 16 is connected to both speed reducers 14. The front and rear chains 12 are synchronously rotated in the reverse direction by the drive motor 15 via the drive shaft 16. In other words, the elevating rails 13 inside the front and rear chains 12 shown in FIG. 2 are both raised or lowered. The traversing wheel 6 of the pallet 2 that has traversed gets on the lifting rail 13. The pallet 2 is raised or lowered one by one.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a traversing device 17 for traversing the pallet 2 is disposed in each of the upper and lower lateral transport paths 3. The traversing device 17 is disposed at a position below the traversing path of the pallet 2. The traversing device 17 includes a crank arm 18 that rotates in a horizontal plane around its central portion, and a rotational drive device 19 that rotationally drives the crank arm 18. The overall length of the crank arm 18 is substantially the same as the width of the pallet 2, and engagement rollers 18a are attached to both ends thereof. The engaging roller 18a can engage with front and rear grooves 21 (see also FIGS. 6 and 8) formed on one side of the lower surface of each pallet 2. FIG. 2 shows a state in which both engagement rollers 18 are engaged with the front and rear grooves 21 of two adjacent pallets 2. By rotating the crank arm 18, the connected pallet rows are traversed by one pallet width.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 4, 6, and 7, a pit P is dug in a position adjacent to the direct entry portion E, and an elevating deck 22 is installed in the pit P. The elevating deck 22 has the same outer shape as the pallet 2 in plan view. The lateral width is the same as or slightly smaller than the width of the pallet 2. The upper surface of the elevating deck 22 is flattened by a grating metal, a punching metal or the like, and can be easily moved by a wheelchair or the like. An elevating device 23 for elevating the elevating deck 22 is installed in the pit P. A plurality of guide rails (guide members) 24 for guiding the raising and lowering of the lifting deck 22 are arranged on the inner side surface of the pit P, and the side portions of the lifting deck 22 are engaged with the guide rails 24. A possible guide roller (guided member) 25 is attached (see also FIGS. 8 and 9). As a result, the elevating deck 22 can move up and down smoothly in the pit P.

  The lifting device 23 includes a so-called scissor-type X leg 24 in which a plurality of bar members 24a are assembled so as to be foldable and extendable, and a hydraulic cylinder 25 for pushing up and lowering the bar member 24a constituting the X leg. doing. The X legs 24 and the hydraulic cylinders 25 are installed at the front and rear portions of the lifting deck 22. One end of one rod member 24a constituting the X leg is pivotally supported on the pit floor, the other end is slidable horizontally on the lower surface of the lifting deck 22, and the other rod member 24b has one end lifted and lowered. The other end of the deck 22 is pivotally supported, and the other end is slidable horizontally on the pit floor. Specifically, the sliding in the horizontal direction is performed by a guide roller 24b attached to the tip of the rod member 24a being slidably engaged with a horizontal rail 24c disposed on the pit floor and the lower surface of the lifting deck. The The cylinder base of the hydraulic cylinder 25 is pivotally supported at the pit bottom, and the rod 25a is pivotally supported by the other rod member 24a. Of course, other lifting devices may be used.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10, one or more worm jacks 26 may be used. FIG. 10 shows a state where the lifting deck 22 is at the first height position. In the worm jack 26, a worm gear 27a connected to a rotation driving device 27 and a worm wheel 28 screwed into the worm gear 27a are rotatably supported by a casing 29. An inner screw (not shown) is formed at the center of the worm wheel 28. A non-rotating external screw member (screw rod) 30 is screwed to the inner screw, and the screw rod 30 supports the lifting deck 22 from below at the upper end thereof. The screw rod 30 is moved up and down by rotating the worm wheel 28 via the worm gear 27a by the rotation driving device 27. In addition, a mechanism that pushes up the lifting deck 22 directly by a hydraulic cylinder may be used as the lifting device. Also, other known mechanisms that are appropriate can be adopted.

  The lift deck 22 has a first height position on which the pallet is placed as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, and an upper surface of the lift deck 22 mounted on the vehicle with the adjacent pallet 2 as shown in FIGS. It can be moved up and down between a second height position which is substantially the same height as the surface. The first height position (FIG. 6) is a position where the pallet 2 placed on the lifting deck 22 is the same height as the adjacent pallet 2. The second height position (FIG. 7) is as described above. As shown in FIG. 7, when the lifting deck 22 is raised to the second height position, even a wheelchair user can easily get on and off the loading / unloading vehicle M1 by using the top surface of the lifting deck 22. It becomes. Of course, the second height position is not limited to the same height position as the vehicle mounting surface of the pallet 2 described above. For example, it can be set at a position convenient for the user to get on and off, such as a position where the upper surface of the lifting deck 22 is substantially the same height as the upper surface of the rising portion 2a on the side of the pallet 2 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the elevating deck 22 is at the first height position, the pallet 2 is placed thereon, and the pallet 2 is connected to the adjacent pallet 2. Therefore, it is possible for the pallet row to traverse in the connected state. Or, in some cases, as shown in the figure, the user gets on and off the vehicle M1 while the vehicle M2 is mounted on the lifting deck 22 at the time of loading and unloading (the lifting deck 22 is at the first height position). May be. This is because the distance D between the vehicles on the adjacent pallets may not interfere with the user getting on and off the loading / unloading vehicle M1.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the lifting deck 22 is disposed so as to be close to the pallet 2 on the direct entry portion E side. This is to avoid a large gap on the floor for the vehicle passenger on the pallet 2 on the direct entry part E side. Therefore, in order to avoid interference with the first coupler 7 of the pallet 2 when the pallet 2 is lifted and lowered in the direct boarding part E, a part corresponding to the first coupler 7 at the edge of the lifting deck 22 on the direct boarding part E side. A notch 31 is formed in the upper surface. On the other hand, a notch is not formed at the edge opposite to the direct entry portion E. This is because the pallet 2 on the side opposite to the direct entry portion E does not move up and down, so there is no room for interference.

  A second coupler 32 is disposed so as to protrude upward from the notch 31. On the other hand, the second connector 32 is disposed so as to protrude upward also at the edge of the lifting deck 22 on the side opposite to the direct entry portion E. The second connector 32 has the same shape as the first connector 7 in plan view, and has a structure that can be connected to the first connector 7 of the adjacent pallet 2. The second connector 32 protrudes upward because the first connector 7 to be connected is positioned above the upper surface of the lifting deck 22 when the lifting deck 22 is raised to the second height position. It is because it is doing. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 7, when the elevating deck 22 is raised to the second height position, the second connector 32 is automatically connected to the adjacent first connector 7. As a result, the lifting deck 22 is stable because both sides thereof are restrained by the pallet 2, and the pallet 2 on the direct entry portion E side is also restrained by the lifting deck 22 because one side is restrained by the lifting deck 22.

  As shown in FIGS. 4, 8, and 9, guide grooves 33 that guide the traverse wheel 6 when the pallet 2 traverses are formed in the front and rear portions of the upper surface of the lift deck 22. The guide groove 33 extends in the same direction as the transverse rail 3a, and is formed so as to abut against the transverse rail 3a when the elevating deck 22 is raised to the second height position. As shown in FIG. 8, the guide groove 33 guides the traverse wheel 6 when the wheel rod 6 a of the traverse wheel 6 enters and engages. Therefore, the width of the guide groove 33 is small, and there is no problem in passing the wheelchair.

  Of course, it is not limited to such guide means. For example, the traverse rail 3a may be extended to the installation space of the lifting deck 22, and a slightly larger groove may be formed on the upper surface of the lifting deck so that the traverse rail 3a is fitted as it is. That is, the grooves are formed so that the upper surface of the lifting deck 22 and the upper surface of the traversing rail 3a substantially coincide with each other when the lifting deck is raised to the second height position. By doing so, even when the elevating deck is raised to the second height position, the traverse wheel 6 can be engaged with the traverse rail 3a without interfering with the traverse rail 3a.

  If such a lifting deck 22 is equipped, the pallet is traversed and removed from the lifting deck when entering and leaving, and the traversing deck 22 is raised to the second height position so that the upper surface of the traversing deck 22 is used. Enough space for passengers to get on and off. For this purpose, the lifting deck 22 needs to be provided adjacent to the direct entry portion E.

  Next, an operation example of the parking apparatus 1 taking the time of leaving the car as an example will be described with reference to FIG. The following routine may be programmed and incorporated in the control device. Moreover, illustration of the couplers 7 and 32 is abbreviate | omitted in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, the box-type circulating parking apparatus has two pallet empty spaces in the horizontal transfer path 3 and the transfer unit 8 (the upper left end and the lower right end in the current state). First, the pallet 2 on which the vehicle M1 to be unloaded is placed is transferred to the transfer unit 8 below the direct boarding part E without arranging the pallet in the direct boarding part E. This transfer is performed by operating the upper and lower floor traversing devices 17 (see FIG. 2) and the first and second lifts 4 and 5 (see FIG. 1) to circulate the entire pallet 2.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), the pallet 2 of the transfer unit 8 on the opposite end of the direct entry portion E (the transfer unit 8 on the right end of the upper floor in this embodiment) is transferred to the lower transfer unit by the second lift 5. It is lowered to 8 and the place is made an empty space. Then, the pallet row on the upper floor is moved to the right by one pallet.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 11C, the pallet 2 does not exist on the direct entry portion E and the lifting deck 22. After confirming this, the lifting deck 22 is raised to the second height position. The upper surface of the lifting deck 22 is the same height as the vehicle mounting surface of the pallet 2.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 11 (d), the scheduled delivery vehicle M 1 in the transfer unit 8 below the direct entry part E is raised to the direct entry part E by the first lift 4. By doing so, the pallet 2 on which the scheduled delivery vehicle M1 is placed is connected to the lifting deck 22 by the couplers 7 and 32, and both the 2 and 22 are stabilized. Then, the door 35 of the entrance / exit G opens and the user enters the parking device 1. Even a wheelchair user can easily access the outgoing vehicle M1 from above the lifting deck 22. The vehicle M1 moves backward, gets on the turntable 40 (FIG. 3), turns 180 °, and moves forward.

  Thereafter, when the pallet is returned to the original state, the operation opposite to the above is performed. That is, the pallets may be transferred in the order described in (d), (c), (b), and (a) of FIG. Of course, when returning to the original state, the outgoing vehicle M1 does not exist in the transfer unit 8 below the direct entry unit E.

  Next, an operation example at the time of warehousing will be briefly described with reference to FIG. The pallet is removed from above the elevating deck 22 by the procedure described above, and the elevating deck 22 is raised to the second height position. Further, the empty pallet 2 in the transfer unit 8 below the direct entry part E is raised to the direct entry part E.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (d), the warehousing vehicle M1 enters the pallet 2 of the direct entry portion E. Even if the occupant of the warehousing vehicle M1 is a wheelchair user, it is easy for the occupant to exit the escaping deck 22 from the warehousing vehicle M1. Next, passengers including wheelchair users leave the parking device 1.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 11C, the warehousing vehicle M <b> 1 may be lowered to the transfer unit 8 below the direct entry unit E by the first lift 4. Alternatively, the elevating deck 22 is lowered to the first height position, and the upper pallet row is moved to the right using the upper and lower traverse devices 17 and the second lift 5 to place the incoming vehicle on the elevating deck 22. It may be placed.

  As shown in FIG. 6, a user who does not use a wheelchair can often access the vehicle M <b> 1 using the narrow space D between the vehicles without requiring the lifting deck 22. Therefore, “only for wheelchair users” is displayed on the second driving operation panel 37 described above, and only when the second driving operation panel 37 is operated, the operation is performed according to the above procedure (FIG. 11). When the operation panel 36 is operated, the elevating deck 22 may be lowered to the first height position and may depend on the operation procedure of the conventional box-type circulating parking apparatus in which the elevating deck does not exist.

  The movable deck 22 is stabilized by providing the second connectors 32 at both left and right edges, but is not limited to this configuration. For example, if a fixing means such as a tension member that restrains the lifting deck 22 by pressing the inner surface of the pit P from the lifting deck 22 is provided, the connecting means to the pallet 2 is not necessary.

  In the embodiment described above, a box-type circulation parking device is taken as an example, but the present invention is not limited to such a parking device. For example, it can be applied to a so-called horizontal circulation parking apparatus. In the horizontal circulation parking apparatus, pallets are arranged in a plurality of rows (for example, two rows in the front and rear) on one plane, and the pallet rows traverse the front lateral transfer path and the rear lateral transport path. A transfer section is provided for transferring the pallet between the left and right ends of both lateral transfer paths. The transfer unit is provided with a longitudinal device for longitudinally moving the pallet between the front and rear horizontal transfer paths. And an empty space may arise in the diagonal two corners of two horizontal transfer paths. If this is utilized, the present invention can be applied. That is, the aforementioned lifting deck may be provided adjacent to one transfer part of the horizontal circulation parking apparatus. Further, the coupler formed on the pallet in the horizontal circulation parking apparatus has a structure in which the connection is maintained in the horizontal transfer direction and the connection is released in the transfer direction (vertical transfer direction). Therefore, it is only necessary to provide a connector having the same structure as this connector on both sides of the lifting deck.

  According to the present invention, the pallet can be removed from above the elevating deck adjacent to the direct boarding part by horizontally transferring the pallet integrally. And since this raising / lowering deck can be raised and used for a user's boarding / alighting, even a wheelchair user etc. can easily access a vehicle from the side.

It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows the box-shaped circulation type parking apparatus which is one Embodiment of the parking apparatus of this invention.
