  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1 and 2 are views showing a concept (basic configuration) of a three-dimensional storage facility for a railway vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view, and FIG. 2 is a transverse sectional view.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the three-dimensional storage facility 10 for a railway vehicle according to this embodiment includes a plurality of pallets 21 each mounting a railway vehicle (train) 1 to which a plurality of vehicles are connected, and the railway vehicle 1. A pallet supply / recovery mechanism that sequentially supplies or recovers a plurality of pallets 21 when a container enters and exits, and a pallet elevating mechanism that lifts and stops all at once while supporting the pallets 21 in a plurality of stages. Three-dimensional storage is performed with the railcar 1 mounted on the pallet 21 supported by the mechanism.

  As will be described in detail later, the pallet 21 is provided with rails and power supply overhead lines so that the railway vehicle 1 can travel on the pallet 21.

  The pallet supply / recovery mechanism also includes a pallet stocker 22 that moves up and down in a state in which the pallets 21 before the railcar 1 is stacked, and a pallet 21 from the pallet group stacked on the pallet stocker 22. And a pallet stopper 26 which is cut out and held.

  The pallet elevating mechanism also winds and unwinds the pair of left and right chains (endless track chain) 23 to which the pallet support members 25 that support the end of the pallet 21 are attached at a predetermined pitch, and the pair of left and right chains 23. As shown in FIG. 1, a pair of left and right chains 23 and two pairs of upper and lower chain sprockets 24 are arranged at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction of the railway vehicle 1. Has been. By the way, these chain sprockets 24 are driven synchronously, whereby the pallet 21 (railway vehicle 1) is held horizontally to be lifted and stopped.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, there are a plurality of three-dimensional storage rows (here, five rows) composed of a plurality of pallets 21, the pallet supply / collection mechanism, and the pallet lifting mechanism. In each of the three-dimensional storage columns, the pallet 21 can be moved up and down and stopped independently of the other three-dimensional storage columns.

  Here, in FIGS. 1 and 2, a space (ground space) in which the railway vehicle 1 is stored on the pallet 21 with the ground surface level FL as a boundary (ground space) is the railway vehicle storage unit 11. A space (underground space) in which the pallet 21 before loading 1 is stacked on the pallet stocker 22 and stocked is the pallet stock section 12.

  And in the three-dimensional storage apparatus 10 for rail vehicles provided with the above basic structures, the rail vehicle 1 is made to enter / exit by the following procedures.

  First, when the railway vehicle 1 is stored, the following procedures (A1) to (A4) are performed.

  (A1) One pallet 21 is cut out by a pallet stopper 26 from a group of pallets 21 stacked and stocked on the pallet stocker 22 and set at the lowest level (ground level FL) of the railway vehicle storage unit 11. At that time, the pallet 21 is supported by the pallet support member 25 and the pallet stopper 26.

  (A2) The railway vehicle 1 is run on the pallet 21 set at the lowest level.

  (A3) While supporting both ends of the pallet 21 on which the railway vehicle 1 is mounted by the pallet support member 25, the chain sprocket 24 is driven to wind up the chain 23, and the pallet 21 is moved up one step and stopped at that position. To do.

  (A4) The above operations (A1) to (A3) are repeated.

  On the other hand, when leaving the railway vehicle 1, the following operations (B1) to (B4) are performed by operations opposite to the above operations (A1) to (A3).

  (B1) While supporting both ends of the pallet 21 on which the railway vehicle 1 is mounted by the pallet support member 25, the chain sprocket 24 is driven to lower the chain 23, and the pallet 21 is lowered one step and stopped at that position. To do.

  (B2) The railway vehicle 1 is started from the pallet 21 stopped at the lowest level. At that time, the pallet 21 is supported by the pallet support member 25 and the pallet stopper 26.

  (B3) The lowermost pallet 21 on which the railway vehicle 1 has started running is stacked on the pallet 21 group on the pallet stocker 22.

  (B4) The above operations (B1) to (B3) are repeated.

  Below, the detail of the three-dimensional storage equipment 10 for rail vehicles as mentioned above is demonstrated.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a procedure for cutting out one pallet 21 using the pallet supply / recovery mechanism (pallet stocker 22, pallet stopper 26) when the railway vehicle 1 is stored.

  First, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the pallet stocker 22 is raised, and the uppermost pallet 21A of the pallet 21 group that is stacked and stocked is moved to the lowermost level (ground level FL) of the railcar storage unit 11. Position.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 3B, the pallet stopper hydraulic cylinder 27 is driven to insert and hold the pair of left and right pallet stoppers 26 under the uppermost pallet 21A and lower the pallet stocker 22. Then, the other pallet 21 is separated from the pallet 21A.

  Thereby, one pallet 21 (21A) can be cut out and positioned at the lowest level (ground level FL) of the railway vehicle storage unit 11.

  When the railway vehicle 1 is delivered, the pallet 21A is collected on the pallet stocker 22 by the reverse procedure to the above.

  Next, FIGS. 4 to 6 are views showing a state in which the railway vehicle 1 is mounted on the pallet 21 </ b> A at the lowermost stage (entry / exit position) of the railway vehicle storage unit 11. 4 is an overall view, FIG. 5 is a partial enlarged view of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is a partial detailed view of FIG.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 (a), the pallet 21 is supported by a pallet support member 25 at a location 21 a where the wheel 2 of the mounted railway vehicle 1 is located. This prevents bending from acting on the pallet 21.

  4 and 5, the portion 21a supported by the pallet support member 25 is a thick portion with a large thickness, and the other portions 21b are thin portions with a small thickness. As a result, the weight of the pallet 21 is reduced.

  In addition, in order to reinforce the strength of the thin portion 21b against the moving load generated when the railway vehicle 1 travels on the pallet 21 when the railway vehicle 1 enters and exits, FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. As shown, a plurality of (here, three) pallet stoppers 26 are arranged at predetermined intervals on the lower surface of the thin portion 21b to support the thin portion 21b. That is, the pallet stopper 26 used when the pallets 21 are sequentially supplied and recovered is used as it is as a reinforcement / support mechanism for the thin portion 21b.

  Moreover, since the pallet 21 is long and is affected by thermal expansion and contraction, in order to avoid this, the pallet 21 is divided in the longitudinal direction and connected to each other.

  Next, FIGS. 7 and 8 are views showing a state in which the railway vehicle 1 is three-dimensionally stored. 7 is an overall explanatory view, and FIG. 8 is a partial detail view of FIG.

  As described above, as shown in FIG. 7, the rail 28 is installed on the upper surface of the pallet 21, and the feeder overhead line 31 is installed on the lower surface of the pallet 21. In addition, supply / stop of the electric power to each electric power feeding overhead line 31 is performed by attaching or detaching the electric power feeding coupler (not shown) provided with respect to each electric power feeding overhead line 31. FIG. Incidentally, normally, the power feeding coupler is separated from each power feeder 31.

  Thus, when the railcar 1A enters and exits, the railcar 1A displays the pantograph 3 by attaching a power feeding coupler to the power feeding overhead line 31B of the second stage pallet 21B and supplying power to the power feeding overhead line 31B. It is possible to travel on the rail 28A of the first stage pallet 21A while opening and collecting power from the power supply overhead line 31B.

  When the travel of the railway vehicle 1A on the pallet 21A is completed, the power feeding coupler is detached from the power feeding overhead line 31B, and power feeding to the power feeding overhead line 31B is stopped. Moreover, the rail vehicle 1A mounted on the pallet 21A closes the pantograph 3.

  Thereby, it will be in the state by which the electric power feeding to all the feeder overhead lines 31 and the rail vehicle 1 was cancelled | released, and can raise / lower each pallet 21 safely.

  In some cases, it is conceivable to supply power to an arbitrary feeder overhead line 31 and the railway vehicle 1 in order to check the operation of the railway vehicle 1 stored on the pallet 21. In addition, when raising and lowering each pallet 21, power supply to all the power supply overhead lines 31 and the railway vehicle 1 is canceled to ensure safety.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the chain 23 is driven while being supported by the guide 35. This is to prevent the chain 23 from being deformed into a C shape by a reaction force from the pallet support member 25 that supports the pallet 21.

  FIG. 8 shows a specific structure of the part, FIG. 8 (a) is an external view of the part where the pallet support member 25 is attached to the chain 23, and FIG. 8 (b) is a longitudinal sectional view, FIG. 8 (c) is a transverse sectional view thereof.

  As shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C, the roller 36 attached to the chain 23 travels along the guide groove 36 provided in the guide 35.

  Next, FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a state when the pallet 21 is stacked and stocked on the pallet stocker 22. As described above, since the feeder overhead line 31 is installed on the lower surface of the pallet 21, the pallets 21 are stacked as described below in consideration thereof.

  First, as shown in FIG. 9A, basically, the lower surface of the next pallet 21 is placed on a rail 28 installed on the upper surface of the pallet 21, and this is repeated to form a plurality of pallets 21. Stack up. Thereby, the feeder overhead line 31 is accommodated in the space between the upper and lower pallets 21 formed by the height of the rail 28, and the stacking of the pallets 21 is not hindered.

  However, in the space for the height of the rail 28, when it is difficult to store the feeder overhead line 31 between the upper and lower pallets 21, the feeder overhead line 31 may contact the top surface of the pallet 21 and be damaged. As shown in FIG. 9 (b), it is preferable to provide a power supply cable storage groove 32 for storing the power supply cable 31 of the pallet 21 immediately above the pallet 21 on the upper surface of the pallet 21. Thereby, the feeder overhead line 31 can be appropriately accommodated between the upper and lower pallets 21.

  In addition, in the above, if the pallet 21 is placed directly on the rail 28, the top surface of the rail 28 may be damaged. In particular, when the number of pallets 21 to be stacked is increased, an excessive load is applied to the top surface of the rail 28 in the lowermost step and the vicinity thereof, so that the possibility of breakage increases.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9C, a rail storage groove 29 for storing the rail 28 of the pallet 21 immediately below the pallet 21 may be provided on the lower surface of the pallet 21. As a result, the feeder overhead line 31 is accommodated in the feeder overhead line accommodation groove 32, the rail 28 is accommodated in the rail accommodation groove 29, and the lower surface of the pallet 21 is in direct contact with the upper surface of the pallet 21 directly below the pallet 21. Therefore, damage to the top surface of the rail 28 is prevented.

  Moreover, since the stacking height of the pallets 21 is thereby lowered, the accompanying effect that the space for storing the pallets 21 (the pallet stock portion 12) can be made compact can be obtained.

  As described above, in the three-dimensional railcar storage facility 10 according to this embodiment, the railcar 1 is three-dimensionally stored as it is with the railcars 1 mounted on the pallets 21 of a plurality of stages. The railway vehicle 1 can be sequentially loaded and unloaded only by raising and lowering the pallet 21. Therefore, as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, compared to the case where a railway vehicle is mounted on a lifting platform and the warehouse is moved between the entrance / exit and the storage portion, the warehousing pitch and the warehousing pitch are compared. Can be greatly shortened. Therefore, for example, when it is desired to quickly enter and exit a large number of railcars 1 such as at the time of the first train in which a large number of railcars 1 are entered all at once, it is possible to respond appropriately. Moreover, a space for raising and lowering the lifting platform is unnecessary, and the space can be used effectively.

  Thereby, the three-dimensional storage facility 10 for railway vehicles according to this embodiment can efficiently three-dimensionally store the railway vehicle 1.

  Furthermore, in the three-dimensional storage facility 10 for railway vehicles according to this embodiment, the railway vehicle 1 that enters and exits is adjacent to the site where the railway vehicle storage unit 11 and the pallet stock unit 12 are installed (three-dimensional storage site). Since it is not necessary to install a railcar transfer crane as in Patent Document 1 or a second garage as in Patent Document 2 on the traveling site (entry / exit site), the entrance / exit site By providing an inspection and maintenance facility having a function of inspecting and maintaining the railway vehicle 1 in the upper space, it is possible to provide a more efficient three-dimensional storage facility for railway vehicles.

  FIG. 10 is an elevational view showing an example of a three-dimensional storage facility for railway vehicles equipped with such an inspection and maintenance facility. Here, the entrance / exit site 50 adjacent to the three-dimensional storage site 40 has a two-story structure, and the first floor portion 51 has a plan view as shown in FIG. The second floor portion 52 is an inspection and maintenance facility section provided with an inspection and maintenance facility for inspecting and maintaining the railway vehicle 1 as shown in FIG. .

  Incidentally, as described above, since each pallet 21 is provided with the power supply overhead line 31, the power supply coupler 31 is attached to the power supply overhead line 31 to supply power by using the power supply overhead line 31. 11, the inspection of the railway vehicle 1 is performed (starting inspection that does not include dismantling of parts, alternating inspection), and the inspection and maintenance facility 52 performs inspection of important parts of the railway vehicle 1, general inspection, remodeling work, and the like.

  Thereby, the site for the existing inspection and maintenance facilities can be greatly reduced, and the land can be used more effectively.
