A machine room 60 is formed on the top floor of the parking tower 52, and the machine room 60 is provided with lifting mechanisms such as the hoisting device 57 and the turning pulley 58. In general, the balance weight 59 is disposed at the end opposite to the entrance / exit G of the parking tower 52 where there is no possibility of the user approaching the entrance / exit. This is because it is physically difficult to place the balance weight on the entrance / exit side of the parking tower, and because the balance weight is large and heavy, it makes the user uneasy by seeing it overhead. This is to avoid that.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a so-called simultaneous self-propelled elevator parking device in which two such parking devices (the parking tower) are connected is known. The self-propelled type here refers to a system in which a warehousing vehicle enters by itself from a loading / unloading port and moves to a predetermined parking tower. Such a simultaneous elevator parking device is a tandem parking device in which two parking towers are connected in a direction along the direction in which the vehicle is received and along the direction in which the accommodation vehicle is placed (for example, a patent) (See Literature 1, Patent Literature 2, and Patent Literature 3). In these parking apparatuses, one elevator is disposed across two simultaneous parking towers, and a pallet transport carriage that can move to any parking tower on the elevator is disposed. In other words, one long elevator is shared by two parking towers. Therefore, the elevator becomes very heavy.

  In order to connect a plurality of the parking towers 52 having the balance weights shown in FIG. 5 without major design changes such as the combined use of the elevator, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the parking tower of FIG. It can be considered that two are installed close to each other along the loading / unloading direction. In FIG. 6, the elevator and its lifting mechanism are mainly illustrated, and other components such as a parking rack are substantially omitted. FIG. 7 is a plan view showing machine rooms 60a and 60b formed on the top floor of the parking device 61 of FIG.

  In the description of the parking device 61 of FIGS. 6 and 7, parts having the same configuration as the parking device 51 of FIG. 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. In the parking device 61, elevators 53 are installed in the parking towers 62a and 62b, respectively. On the ground floors of the parking towers 62a and 62b, the right and left sides of the elevator landing positions are user traffic paths R. The entrance / exit G is formed only in the parking tower 62a on one side (also referred to as the left side in the figure and also referred to as the front side), and the parking tower 62b on the other side (also referred to as the right side in the figure and also referred to as the heel side). A vehicle passage opening 64 and a person passage 65 are formed in the boundary wall 63.

In any of the parking towers 62a and 62b, the hoisting device 57 is installed in each of the machine rooms 60a and 60b of the parking towers 62a and 62b, respectively, and a balance weight 59 is provided at the entrance / exit G ( It is arranged on the side opposite to the vehicle passage opening 64). This is because the existing parking tower 52 is connected as it is as described above. If it does in this way, the balance weight 59 of the parking tower 62a of the front side will move up and down above the person's passage 65. The balance weight 59 is usually provided with a sturdy locking device for safety, but a user who passes under the balance weight 59 is uneasy when looking up at a state where a large balance weight is suspended. Further, it is necessary to form a pit into which the lowered balance weight enters when the elevator 53 reaches a position facing the uppermost parking shelf 55 on the floor surface of the ground floor just below the balance weight. Furthermore, when the elevator is on the entry / exit floor (ground floor) and the balance weight is in the ascending position, it is necessary to cover this pit with a deck so that the user can pass.

  A first elevator 4 is installed in the first parking tower 2, and a second elevator 5 is installed in the second parking tower 3. The elevators 4 and 5 raise and lower the vehicle M to store and unload the vehicle. The elevators 4 and 5 are moved up and down by the wires (or chains) 11 and 12 as hoisting ropes being wound up and fed out by driving devices (also called hoisting devices) 6 and 7 and balance weights 8 and 9. In the present embodiment, wires are respectively connected to the four corners of the elevators 4 and 5, and these four wires are collectively operated by the winding device.

  Both the elevators 4 and 5 have their longitudinal directions oriented in a direction in which a vehicle entering from the entrance / exit 20 is going straight. The elevators 4 and 5 move up and down the hoistway 10 in the center of each parking tower in plan view. On both sides of the hoistway 10, parking shelves 13 that form upper and lower parking sections are arranged. All the parking racks 13 are installed such that the longitudinal direction thereof is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the elevators 4 and 5.

  In the parking apparatus 1, a pallet 14 for mounting on a vehicle is placed on each parking shelf 13. Each elevator 4, 5 moves up and down between the parking shelves 13 on both sides, moves to the designated parking shelf 13 floor, and then delivers the pallet 14. At the time of delivery, the vehicle is transported to the entry / exit floor E. The present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and can be applied to a palletless parking apparatus as long as the vehicle is raised and lowered by an elevator. In the parking apparatus 1, the entry / exit floor E is the lowermost floor (first floor) of each parking tower 2, 3. On the entry / exit floor E in the parking towers 2 and 3, the right and left sides of the landing positions of the elevators 4 and 5 are the user's passage R.

  As shown in FIG. 2, each elevator 4, 5 is provided with a lateral feed device 15 for delivering the pallet 14 to and from the parking shelf 13. In FIG. 2, a pallet 14 is placed on an elevator (also referred to as a first elevator) 4 of the first parking tower 2, and a pallet is placed on an elevator (also referred to as a second elevator) 5 of the second parking tower 3. The state that is not done is shown. The lateral feed device 15 has a carriage 16 that can move a predetermined distance on both sides in the width direction at the center of the frame of each of the elevators 4 and 5, and a base end portion of the carriage 16 that is pivoted around the center of the carriage 16. The crank arm 17 is provided with a drive device (not shown) that performs the transverse drive of the carriage 16 and the turning point drive of the crank arm 17. An engagement pin 18 projects upward from the tip of the crank arm 17. On the other hand, the edge of the pallet 14 facing the hoistway is formed so that an engaged groove 19 for engaging the engaging pin 18 is opened downward. The engaging pin 18 is engaged with the engaged groove 19 by rotating the crank arm 17 while traversing the carriage 16. The pallet 14 is traversed by traversing the carriage 16 in the direction opposite to the above while rotating the crank arm 17 as it is.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, machine rooms 24 and 25 are provided on the uppermost floors of the parking towers 2 and 3 for arranging elevator lifting mechanisms (winding devices, pulleys, etc.). The hoisting device (also referred to as second hoisting device) 7 of the second parking tower 3 is similar to the conventional single elevator parking device (FIG. 5), and the machine room (also called the second machine chamber) of the second parking tower 3. 25) is disposed on the side 22 opposite to the vehicle passage opening 22 (end portion). FIG. 4 shows the details of the winding devices 6 and 7. The hoisting device includes a drive motor 26, a drive sheave 28 that is rotated by the drive motor 26 via a speed reducer 27, and an attached turning pulley 29.

  In the present embodiment, the hoisting device 6 (also referred to as the first hoisting device) 6 of the first parking tower 2 is also disposed at the end of the second machine room 25 together with the second hoisting device 7. Specifically, the first hoisting device 6 is installed on one side on the left and right sides of the center line in the longitudinal direction (along the longitudinal direction of the elevator) at the heel end of the second machine room 25, and the second hoisting is performed on the other side. The device 7 is installed. Then, four wires (also referred to as first wires) 11 whose one ends are connected to the four corners of the first elevator 4 are changed in direction by the four turning pulleys 30a corresponding to the four wires, respectively. It is bundled by being wound around one installed turning pulley 30b. Next, the wire 11 extends to the flange end portion of the second machine chamber 25 and is wound around the drive sheave 28 of the first winding device 6 installed therein. Further, the first wire 11 is turned around by being wound around the turning pulley 29 in the first winding device 6, and the other end is connected to the first balance weight 8.

  Therefore, like the second balance weight 9, the first balance weight 8 moves up and down along the inner wall surface at the end of the second parking tower. The arrangement of the lifting mechanism (second winding device 7, turning pulleys 29, 30, second wire 12, second balance weight 9) in the second parking tower 3 is conventionally known as shown in FIGS. Is omitted. In this case, the end of the second parking tower 3 is a saddle in the longitudinal direction of the parking rack in the second parking tower 3, and further, faces the opening for passers-by in the second parking tower 3 (opposite) It is the end of the side.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the vicinity of the inner wall surface at the end of the second parking tower 3 where the first and second balance weights 8 and 9 are moved up and down is not accessible by the user of the parking device 1. There is no need to approach. Further, in each of the parking towers 2 and 3, the vertical movement space S of the balance weights 8 and 9 may be isolated from the other spaces in the tower by a wire net or a grating plate for safety.

  Further, since the two balance weights 8 and 9 are arranged in a place where a person does not approach as described above, the size thereof may be increased. Therefore, the use of the movable pulley can halve the balance weight ascending / descending difference as compared with the case where the end of the wire is directly connected to the balance weight. In this case, it is not necessary to form the pits into which the balance weight enters the above-described ground floor.

  Since the above-described configuration is intended to arrange both balance weights 8 and 9 on the inner wall surface at the end of the second parking tower 3, only the turning pulley 29 of the hoisting devices 6 and 7 shown in FIG. The other parts (the drive motor 26, the speed reducer 27, and the drive sheave 28) are arranged close to the inner wall surface, and there is no major problem even if they are arranged in any of the machine rooms 24 and 25. For this purpose, the arrangement is not shown, but the first hoisting device 6 is arranged in the first machine chamber 24 and, for example, four pieces of the four first wires 11 are arranged in the first machine chamber 24. After being routed through the turning pulley 30a, it is wound around the drive sheave of the first hoisting device 6 installed in the first machine chamber 24. Next, the first wire 11 is bundled by, for example, the turning pulley 30 b and wound around the corresponding turning sheave 29 disposed on the inner wall surface at the end of the second parking tower 3 and then connected to the first balance weight 8.

  However, if the first hoisting device 6 as a whole is arranged on the inner wall surface of the second parking tower 3 together with the second hoisting device 7 as described above (FIG. 1 and FIG. 3), both devices 6, 7 approach each other. Therefore, there is an advantage that the maintenance inspection work becomes easy.

  In the embodiment described above, a parking apparatus in which two parking towers are connected is taken as an example. However, as described above, three or more parking towers may be connected. In this case, the parking towers may be arranged in a line, or may be L-shaped, U-shaped, stepped, etc. in plan view. In this case, the balance weight may be configured to move up and down along the innermost wall surface as viewed from the entrance / exit. It is easy to guide the wire connected to each elevator to the hoisting device installed at the heel end by the turning pulley.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, when tying up the conventional type elevator-type parking apparatus, a user's anxiety by the balance weight being suspended is eliminated, and the basic composition of the conventional parking apparatus is changed. Can be designed and manufactured without any problems.
