  However, among the conventionally used tire guides 10, the steel tire guide 10 is excellent in that it is inexpensive and hardly damaged. However, when a tire or wheel of a vehicle comes into contact with the iron tire guide, there is a possibility that the tire or wheel side may be damaged.

  On the other hand, according to the rubber tire guide 10, even if a vehicle tire or wheel comes into contact with the rubber tire guide, the risk of damage to the tire or wheel side can be suppressed. However, when the vehicle wheel or the like is strongly pressed against the tire, the tire guide side may be damaged, such as rubber cracking. Furthermore, since the rubber tire guide is expensive, the cost increases.

  Therefore, the present invention is a mechanical type that is less likely to be damaged even when a tire or wheel of a vehicle comes into contact with it, can reduce the risk of scratching the tire or wheel that comes into contact, and can also reduce costs. It is intended to provide a parking device storage guide.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a mechanical parking device that is adapted to accommodate a pallet together with a pallet for loading a vehicle from a platform to the pallet for loading the vehicle. A pair of support members are provided on both the left and right sides of the platform, which is the vehicle entry position, and a rotating body is rotatably attached to a vertical support shaft portion of each support member.

  Further, the support member in the above configuration is composed of a fixed member and a shaft member having a support shaft portion at the upper end, and the outer diameter of the rotating body is made larger than that of the fixed member, and The thickness dimension in the direction is configured to be larger than the length dimension of the support shaft portion.

  Furthermore, in each of the above configurations, after the shaft hole provided in the center portion of the rotating body is fitted to the support shaft portion of the support member from above, the upper end of the support shaft portion is more than the shaft hole of the rotating body. A large diameter presser member is detachably attached.

  The rotating body in each of the above-described configurations is a resin roller, and more specifically, the resin roller is a nylon roller.

According to the warehousing guide for the mechanical parking apparatus of the present invention, the following excellent effects are exhibited.

A pair of support members are provided on both the left and right sides of each of the support members, and a rotating body is rotatably attached to each of the support shafts in the vertical direction of each support member. With the goal of an entry guide composed of a rotating body and a support member, the vehicle position for entering a vehicle loading pallet previously arranged at the vehicle transfer position can be guided to an appropriate entry position. it can. Moreover, even if a vehicle tire or wheel contacts the rotating body of the warehousing guide, the load acting on the rotating body can be released by the rotation of the rotating body.
(2) Further, if the rotating body is made of a resin roller, when the vehicle tire or wheel comes into contact with the resin roller of the warehousing guide, there is no risk of scratching the tire or wheel. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably suppress the possibility of damage on the warehousing guide side.
(3) The support member is composed of a fixed member and a shaft member having a support shaft portion at the upper end, and the outer diameter of the rotating body is made larger than that of the fixed member, and the vertical direction of the rotating body is By configuring the thickness dimension to be larger than the length dimension of the support shaft portion, a portion that may come into contact with the vehicle tire or wheel in the warehousing guide can be limited to only the rotating body. It is possible to more reliably reduce the possibility of scratches on the tire or wheel at the time of contact with the tire or wheel.
(4) After a shaft hole provided in the center portion of the rotating body is fitted to the support shaft portion of the support member from above, a presser having a larger diameter than the shaft hole of the rotating body is provided at the upper end of the support shaft portion. By adopting a configuration in which the member is detachably attached, the rotating body can be easily attached and detached. Therefore, even if the rotating body is damaged or worn, it can be easily replaced, and the storage guide Maintenance can be facilitated.
(5) The rotating body is made of a resin roller, for example, a nylon roller, so that the rotating body is soft enough not to damage the wheel even if it comes into contact with the vehicle wheel, and even if it comes into contact with the vehicle tire. The tire has a low coefficient of friction that does not damage the tire, and further has a high compressive strength that does not easily crack even if the weight of the vehicle acts as a load through the vehicle tire. The provided rotating body can be easily configured.

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

  FIGS. 1 (a), (b) and FIG. 2 show a case where the present invention is applied to an elevator type mechanical parking apparatus 1a similar to that shown in FIG. 4 as an embodiment of the warehousing guide of the mechanical parking apparatus of the present invention. A pit 19 for suspending the elevator car 12 is provided at the center of the bottom of the first floor portion of the building 2, and the pit 19 is suspended between the pit 19 and the entrance / exit 3 of the building 2. A platform 20 is provided for loading and unloading the vehicle 17 to and from the vehicle loading pallet 7 set on the elevator car 12, and the vehicle is transferred by hanging the elevator car 12 to the pit 19. Left and right positions on the platform 20 that are positions near the front side of the left and right ends of the vehicle loading pallet 7 on the elevator car 12 disposed at the position for use. In addition, a pair of left and right support members 23 are installed, and a resin roller, for example, a nylon roller 22 as a rotating body is attached to the upper side of each support member 23 so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction. The roller 22 and the support member 23 constitute a storage guide 21 for the mechanical parking device.

  More specifically, the left and right support members 23 include, for example, a shaft member 24 having a support shaft portion 24a for supporting the nylon roller 22 at one end (upper end), and a shaft member 24 in a vertical state. The shaft member 24 is fixed to a predetermined position on the platform 20 via the fixing member 25, and is supported by the support member 25. The shaft portion 24a is protruded upward.

  The nylon roller 22 has an outer diameter that is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the fixing member 25, and the thickness dimension is larger than the length dimension of the support shaft portion 24 a of the shaft member 24. is there. Further, a shaft hole 22a through which the support shaft portion 24a of the shaft member 24 is inserted is provided at the center of the nylon roller 22, and the diameter is enlarged at the upper end edge of the shaft hole 22a. The diameter portion 22b is formed. As a result, the shaft hole 22a of the nylon roller 22 is fitted to the support shaft portion 24a of the support member 23 from above, and further, in the enlarged diameter portion 22b of the nylon roller 22 than the shaft hole 22a. A disk-shaped presser member 26 having a large diameter is inserted so as to drop from above, and the presser member 26 is detachably fixed to the upper end surface of the support shaft portion 24a by a bolt 27, thereby supporting the support. The nylon roller 22 is rotatably attached to and supported by the outer periphery of the shaft portion 24a. In addition, in a state where the nylon roller 22 is attached to the support member 23, a part of the support member 23 does not protrude beyond the nylon roller 22 on the outer peripheral side and the upper side.

  Other configurations are the same as those shown in FIG. 4, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  When the vehicle 17 is to be stored in the elevator type mechanical parking apparatus 1a having the storage guide 11 having the above-described configuration, a required vehicle storage shelf (not shown) is previously shown in the same manner as shown in FIG. The empty car loading pallet 7 is delivered to the elevator car 12 from the above, and the elevator car 12 carrying the empty vehicle loading pallet 7 is lowered to the pit 19 at the bottom of the building 2 to The vehicle loading pallet 7 is placed at the vehicle transfer position inside the entrance / exit 3. Next, the vehicle 17 kept on the outside of the entrance / exit 3 is made to enter the building 2 through the entrance / exit 3. Next, on the platform 20, the left and right tires of the vehicle 17 can pass inside the left and right warehousing guides 21, targeting the pair of left and right warehousing guides 21 provided on the platform 20. After the position of the vehicle 17 in the left-right direction is adjusted, the vehicle 17 is placed on the empty vehicle loading pallet 7 arranged at the vehicle transfer position from the platform 20. As a result, the entering vehicle 17 can be guided to an appropriate entry position with respect to the vehicle loading pallet 7, so there is a risk that the tire of the entering vehicle 17 rides on the left and right ends of the vehicle loading pallet 7. It can be prevented.

  Even if the tires and wheels of the vehicle 17 come into contact with the left and right warehousing guides 21, in the warehousing guide 21, it is the nylon roller 22 that is located at the uppermost part and the outermost peripheral part. The nylon roller 22 is limited to contact with the tires and wheels of the vehicle 17. At this time, since the nylon roller 22 is made of a softer material than the wheel of the vehicle 17 and has a relatively small coefficient of friction, the tire 17 and the wheel side of the vehicle 17 are damaged by the contact with the left and right warehousing guides 21. The risk of occurrence is reduced. Further, since the nylon roller 22 has high compressive strength and is rotatable, even if the tire or wheel of the vehicle 17 is pressed against the nylon roller 22, the nylon roller 22 is passively rotated. Since the load acting on the nylon roller 22 can be released, the possibility of damage to the nylon roller 22 is reduced.

  Further, when the nylon roller 22 is damaged or worn, the nylon roller 22 is removed from the support shaft portion 24a of the support member 23 by loosening the bolt 27 and removing the pressing member 26. Thereafter, the nylon roller 22 may be replaced by attaching a new nylon roller 22 to the support member 23 in a manner reverse to the above.

  Thus, according to the warehousing guide 21 of the mechanical parking device of the present invention, the vehicle loading pallet 7 in which the position of the vehicle 17 on the platform 20 is located at the vehicle transfer position with the warehousing guide 21 as a target. In this case, even if a tire or a wheel of the vehicle 17 comes into contact with the warehousing guide 21, the possibility that the tire or the wheel side is damaged can be reduced. At the same time, the possibility of damage on the warehousing guide 21 side can be suppressed. In addition, the portion of the warehousing guide 21 that may come into contact with the tires and wheels of the vehicle 17 can be limited to the nylon roller 22, and the nylon roller 22 can be easily replaced. It can be easy.

  Further, in a general mechanical parking apparatus, nylon rollers are often used for a support portion for movably supporting a pallet. Therefore, replacement nylon rollers for maintenance are always stocked. In view of this, if the nylon roller 22 used in the warehousing guide 21 is of the same standard as the nylon roller often used in the general mechanical parking device, the warehousing guide 21 is used. It is possible to eliminate the need for separately procuring new nylon rollers 22 and stocking them for maintenance, thereby reducing the cost required for manufacturing and maintenance.

  The present invention is not limited only to the above-described embodiment, and the nylon roller 22 can be rotatably attached to the support shaft portion 24a of the support member 23 and has a larger diameter than the support member 23. For example, the nylon roller 22 having any shape such as an arc shape in which the cross-sectional shape of the outer peripheral portion is smoothly continuous with both end surfaces in the axial direction or a substantially spherical shape may be employed.

  The fixing member 25 of the support member 23 may have any shape as long as it has a size that fits inside the outer peripheral portion of the nylon roller 22.

  In the above embodiment, the rotating body used for the warehousing guide 21 is a resin roller, specifically, a nylon roller 22. However, even if it contacts the wheel of the vehicle 17, the wheel is not damaged. And a low coefficient of friction that does not damage the tire even if it comes into contact with the tire of the vehicle 17. Further, the weight of the vehicle 17 is loaded through the tire of the vehicle 17. As long as the resin has a high compressive strength that does not easily cause cracking, a resin roller made of a material other than nylon may be used. It may be a rotating body.

  If the vehicle 17 is a mechanical parking device of a type that enters the vehicle loading pallet 7 arranged at the vehicle transfer position on the back side of the platform from the platform when the vehicle 17 is stored, a vertical circulation system, The present invention can also be applied to mechanical parking devices other than the elevator system such as a horizontal circulation system and a plane reciprocation system. Further, the present invention can be applied to a mechanical parking apparatus in which a platform for placing the vehicle 17 on the vehicle loading pallet 7 is arranged at any position, and further, for placing the vehicle 17 on the vehicle loading pallet 7. In addition to this platform, the present invention can also be applied to a mechanical parking device of a type provided with a platform for unloading the vehicle 17 from the vehicle loading pallet 7.

  Of course, various changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
