Japanese Patent No. 3239198 Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-50866 JP 2003-328578 A JP 2001-336299 A JP 7-26776 A

  However, in the conventional elevator-type parking apparatus described in Patent Document 1, since the vehicles 5 can be stored in a multistage manner in the building 1, it can be efficiently parked on a narrow site. However, since the vehicle 5 is directly put into the loading / unloading port 2 provided at the lower end position of the cage lifting / lowering unit 3 when the vehicle 5 is loaded, the driver must get on and off in a narrow space. Don't be. Furthermore, when the pallet 6 has an uneven shape, when a vehicle is put on the pallet 6, the driver is given a feeling of pressure and tension.

  Further, in the elevator type parking apparatus using the comb tooth pallet and the comb tooth lift cage described in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3 described above, the vehicle 5 directly enters the entrance / exit 3 at the center. There is a concern that the driver's boarding space is narrow.

  On the other hand, in the mechanical parking device of the type disclosed in Patent Document 4, when the vehicle 5 is stored, the driver enters the vehicle 5 into the storage berth 29, and the front wheel 5a and the rear wheel 5b are respectively connected to the storage berth. 29, because it only has to be stopped so as to be placed on the front conveyor 30a and the rear conveyor 30b, respectively, the driver's boarding / exiting space can be widened, and the allowable range of the stopping posture of the vehicle 5 is wide. It is thought that the feeling of pressure and tension can be eased. However, the lift 28 in the mechanical parking device described in Patent Document 4 is similar to the front part provided in the underground parking unit after the vehicle 5 mounted from the berth 29 is transported underground. It is delivered to a traveling carriage having a rear conveyor, and is not intended to deliver the vehicle 5 to a pallet of shelves arranged in multiple layers in the vertical direction in the building. It is not applicable.

  If shelves provided with belt conveyors 31a and 31b similar to the lift 28 at the front and rear portions are provided in the building 1 in multiple layers in the vertical direction, the lift 28 and the incoming berth 29 are included. Although it is considered that the structure of the warehousing part can be applied to an elevator-type mechanical parking apparatus, in this case, since belt conveyors must be provided on all the shelves, there is a problem that costs increase. Moreover, the pitch between shelves must be wide compared to the pallet type.

  Patent Document 5 describes the above-described delivery cart and parking in a mechanical parking device that includes a delivery cart that travels in a horizontal direction and a parking platform that is provided along the travel path of the delivery cart. The vehicle is transferred to and from a platform, and the vehicle is stored in multiple stages using a comb-shaped lift cage and a comb-shaped pallet as in an elevator parking device of the present invention described later. There is no suggestion of a configuration related to a method of mounting a vehicle on the lift cage in an elevator parking apparatus.

  In view of this, the present invention provides a vehicle entry system that allows a driver to get a large boarding / exiting space and eases the driver's feeling of pressure and tension when the vehicle is moved into the elevator parking device. It is an object of the present invention to provide an exit method and an elevator parking device used in the method.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention, a vehicle entering a loading / unloading berth provided on one side of the building is laterally fed by a conveyor and conveyed to the cage lifting / lowering unit in the center of the building, The vehicle transfer device at the lower position of the cage lifting / lowering portion is shifted to the loading / unloading berth side, the vehicle is transferred onto the comb-shaped belt conveyor of the vehicle transfer device, and then the vehicle transfer device is moved. After returning the loading device to the center position of the cage lifting and lowering unit, the vehicle on the vehicle transfer device is received and raised on the comb-shaped lift cage rising from below and raised to a position corresponding to the target shelf. And a vehicle loading / unloading method in which the vehicle mounted on the comb-shaped lift cage is moved to a comb-shaped pallet, and the comb-shaped pallet is stored in a shelf.

  Also, when the vehicle is laterally fed from the loading / unloading berth to the cage lifting / lowering section, the front and rear wheels of the vehicle are separately conveyed by the two conveyors provided at the front and rear of the loading / unloading berth. I will let you.

  Further, a cage lifting part is provided in the center of the building in the vertical direction, and the comb-shaped lift cage provided with comb-like tire support members inward in the horizontal direction from both left and right positions is retractably stored. A loading / unloading berth is provided on one of the left and right sides, and a conveyor is provided on the floor surface of the loading / unloading berth extending in the left-right direction to reach one side of the cage lifting / lowering unit. The vehicle transfer device having a belt conveyor in the form of a comb tooth on the left and right sides of the comb-shaped lift cage that is alternately arranged with the tire support members of the comb-teeth lift cage is provided between the center position of the cage lifting part and the loading / unloading berth side. Storage spaces are provided on both the left and right sides of the cage lifting part excluding the first floor portion of the building, and the vehicle space is received between the comb-shaped lift cages in the storage space. The comb tooth pallet performing teeth, and an elevator parking device having a structure in which a shelf formed by out possible accommodated into the cage elevating unit in multiple stages.

  In addition, a configuration in which two conveyors having individual driving devices are provided at the front and rear of the loading / unloading berth in the above-described configuration so that the front and rear wheels of the vehicle can be separately conveyed by each conveyor. And

  Similarly, the conveyor provided in the loading / unloading berth is configured as a belt conveyor.

According to the present invention, the following excellent effects are exhibited.
(1) A vehicle entering a loading / unloading berth provided on one of the left and right sides of the building is laterally fed by a conveyor and conveyed to the cage lifting / lowering portion at the center of the building, and then at a lower position of the cage lifting / lowering portion. A vehicle transfer device is shifted to the loading / unloading berth side, the vehicle is transferred onto the comb-shaped belt conveyor of the vehicle transfer device, and then the vehicle transfer device is moved to the central position of the cage lifting / lowering unit. When the vehicle on the vehicle transfer device is received on the comb-shaped lift cage rising from below and lifted to the position corresponding to the target shelf, it is mounted on the comb-shaped lift cage. The vehicle is moved to the comb-shaped pallet, and the comb-shaped pallet is stored in the shelf so that the driver can get on and off at the loading / unloading berth where the conveyor is provided on the floor. . Therefore, a large boarding / alighting space for the driver can be secured. In addition, when the vehicle is put in, the driver can eliminate the need to get on the uneven pallet and can be greatly expanded compared to the conventional elevator parking device. Can be relaxed.
(2) When the vehicle is laterally fed from the loading / unloading berth to the cage lifting / lowering section, the front and rear wheels of the vehicle are separately separated by the two conveyors provided at the front and rear of the loading / unloading berth. As long as the front and rear wheels are placed on the front and rear conveyors provided on the loading / unloading berth, the attitude of the vehicle at the time of stopping may be bent in the left-right direction. Since it is good, the tolerance | permissible_range of the attitude | position at the time of a vehicle stop can be expanded, and a driver | operator's feeling of pressure and tension can be eased further.
(3) Since the conveyor provided in the loading / unloading berth is configured as a belt conveyor, the floor of the loading / unloading berth can be made flat, so that the driver gets in and out of the vehicle and enters and leaves the loading / unloading berth. The convenience at the time can be further enhanced.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 7 shows one Embodiment of the elevator type parking apparatus used for the vehicle loading / unloading method of this invention, and it is set as the following structures. That is, as shown in FIG. 13, the cage elevating part 3 extending in the vertical direction is provided in the center part in the left and right direction of the building 1 erected on the ground, and the left and right beam members 16 are provided in the cage elevating part 3. A plurality of (for example, four) tire support members 17 projecting inward in the horizontal direction in a comb-like shape from the front and rear portions of each beam member 16, and both longitudinal ends of each beam member 16 The comb-shaped lift cage 15 including the guide member 18 that is attached to the guide member 18 and extends in the vertical direction is accommodated. The guide member 18 is slidably fitted to a vertical guide rail 19 provided at a square portion of the cage lifting / lowering unit 3 and the hoisting device 11 provided at the top of the building 1 (see FIG. 13). The upper ends of the guide members 18 are connected to the chain 12 so that the comb-shaped lift cage 15 is suspended and supported. The comb tooth-shaped lift cage 15 can be raised and lowered by the cage lifting / lowering unit 3 by winding and lowering the chain 12 by the hoisting device 11. The hoisting device 11 may support the suspension of the comb-shaped lift cage 15 with a wire rope instead of the chain 12.

  In the above description, when the load of the vehicle 5 acts on each tire support member 17 of the comb-type lift cage 15, the upper and lower ends of the guide member 18 are pressed against the inner surface of the guide rail 19. Reaction force acts. For this reason, even when such reaction force acts, the upper and lower ends of each guide member 18 are in contact with the guide rail 19 so that each guide member 18 can smoothly slide with respect to the corresponding guide rail 19. A force receiving roller 32 is provided.

  Moreover, the entrance / exit 2a provided with the door which is not shown in figure is provided in the one side wall (FIG. 1 right side wall) in the left-right direction in the 1st floor part of the said building 1. As shown in FIG. An entrance / exit berth 33 is provided outside the entrance / exit 2a. Belt conveyors as two rows of conveyors that are individually provided with driving motors 35a and 35b at the front and rear positions on the floor surface of the loading / unloading berth 33 so as to be able to move the load in the horizontal direction. 34 a and 34 b are installed so as to reach one side of the cage elevating part 3 through the first floor portion of the building 1. As a result, the vehicle 5 entering the loading / unloading berth 33 is placed in one of the loading / unloading berth 33 and the cage lifting / lowering unit 3 in a state where the front wheels 5a and the rear wheels 5b are separately placed on the two front and rear rows of belt conveyors 34a and 34b. It can be moved left and right between the side positions. At this time, even if the posture of the vehicle 5 that has entered and stopped at the loading / unloading berth 33 is bent in the left-right direction, the front and rear belt conveyors 34a and 34b have individual motors 35a and 35b. Therefore, by relatively changing the feed speeds of the two, the feed speeds of the front wheels 5a and the rear wheels 5b of the vehicle 5 are made different so as to be transferred to one side position of the cage elevating part 3 in the building 1. During this time, the posture of the vehicle 5 can be corrected.

  Further, a pit 36 is formed in the lower end of the cage elevating part 3 by digging in the required dimensions from the first floor portion. In the pit 36, belt conveyors 34a and 34b extending from the loading / unloading berth 33 and the cage elevating part 3 are formed. A vehicle transfer device 37 is provided for transferring the vehicle 5 to and from the comb tooth lift cage 15 that moves up and down.

  The vehicle transfer device 37 includes a beam member 39 extending in the front-rear direction with a required width that can pass between the tip portions of the left and right tire support members 17 of the comb-shaped lift cage 15, and both front and rear ends of the beam member 39. A movable gantry 38 comprising a U-shaped or inverted L-shaped guide member 40 (represented in the figure is a U-shaped cross-sectional shape) extending in the left-right direction is attached to the section. Each of the guide members 40 at both ends of the movable frame 38 is engaged with a transverse roller 41 provided at a required height position inside the front and rear walls in the pit 36, and the movement is performed by the rotation of the transverse roller 41. The frame 38 can be shifted in the required dimension from the central position of the pit 36 toward the loading / unloading berth 33 side. Further, on the upper side of the front portion and the rear portion of the movable frame 38, a narrow belt conveyor 42 that can circulate in the left-right direction is planarly connected to each tire support member 17 of the comb-shaped lift cage 15. A plurality of units, for example, four units are arranged at a required interval in the front-rear direction so as to be arranged alternately so as not to overlap each other.

  More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the narrow belt conveyors 42 are substantially T-shaped and are arranged at a required interval in the front-rear direction so that the upper part protrudes in the left-right direction. A pair of front and rear frames 43, a driven pulley 44 rotatably attached to both left and right ends of each frame 43, a power transmission shaft 45 that is rotatably passed through the center of each frame 43, and the power transmission Each driving pulley 46 is attached to a shaft 45 at a predetermined interval, and each driving pulley 46 and a narrow belt 47 wound endlessly on each left and right driven pulley 44 are configured. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 48 denotes a snubb pulley, and 49 denotes a carrier roller for receiving the load of the vehicle 5 placed on the belt 47.

  The belt conveyor 42 having the above-described configuration is arranged at a required interval in the front-rear direction so as to be alternately arranged with the respective tire support members 17 of the comb-shaped lift cage 15 on the upper surfaces of the front and rear portions of the beam member 39 in the movable frame 38. The lower ends of the pair of front and rear frames 43 are fixed to the upper surface of the beam member 39, respectively. At this time, if the distance between the four belt conveyors 42 arranged at the front and the rear is narrow, the power transmission shaft 45 in each of the four belt conveyors 42 may be an integral shaft. Good. Further, the rear end portion of the power transmission shaft 45 of each belt conveyor 42 provided on the front side and the front end portion of the power transmission shaft 45 of each belt conveyor 42 provided on the rear side are connected to the beam member 39. By connecting to the output shaft 51 provided in the front-rear direction of the geared motor 50 installed on the upper surface of the middle portion in the front-rear direction, the rotational drive force transmitted from the output shaft 51 of the geared motor 50 to each of the power transmission shafts 45 The belt 47 of all the belt conveyors 42 at the front and rear can be circulated and moved in synchronization in the left-right direction.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the transverse roller 41 provided in the pit 36 for shifting the vehicle transfer device 37 in the left-right direction is integrally attached to each rotary shaft 52. For example, it is rotatably penetrated through required longitudinally spaced locations (5 locations in the figure) of the support member 53 provided in a horizontal state so as to extend in the left-right direction with a necessary spacing inside the front and rear walls in the pit 36. It is supported. Further, one or two power transmission sprockets 54 are attached to the projecting end portions of the respective rotary shafts 52 penetrating the support member 53, so that the endless shapes of the rotary shafts 52 adjacent to each other are respectively endless. The chains 55 are alternately hung around. Further, a motor 56 is attached to a required position in the pit 36 via a support member (not shown) at a position outside the support member 53, and a drive sprocket 57 on the output shaft 56 a of the motor 56 and the motor 56 are attached to the motor 56. An endless chain 55 is also hung between the sprockets 54 for power transmission on the rotating shaft 52 arranged in the vicinity (left end side in the figure). As a result, when the motor 56 is driven, the rotational driving force is transmitted from the drive sprocket 57 to each sprocket 54 via each chain 55, and all the transverse rollers 41 are interlocked together with each rotary shaft 52. The vehicle transfer device 37 that is driven to rotate and supported on the respective transverse rollers 41 via a guide member 40 can be shifted in the left-right direction.
