Description

  The present invention relates to a charging pallet including a power supply relay unit that charges an electric vehicle mounted thereon, and a mechanical parking apparatus including the charging pallet.

  Conventionally, as a mechanical parking device for parking a vehicle using an internal combustion engine as a power source, an elevator type, a vertical circulation type, a horizontal circulation type, a box type circulation type, a circular circulation type, a plane reciprocation type, a vertical and horizontal puzzle movement type, a multistage type Various parking devices are used according to installation conditions.

  On the other hand, in recent years, an electric vehicle that uses an electric motor as a power source instead of an internal combustion engine (an “electric vehicle” in this specification and claims) runs with the power of an electric motor (including the combined use of the engine). Is popular). Such an electric vehicle is excellent in environmental conservation because it can reduce the amount of exhaust gas, but it is necessary to charge electricity to a storage battery (battery) instead of conventional fuel. Therefore, a parking device with a charging function that attempts to charge using the time stored in the parking device as described above has been invented.

  Such a parking apparatus is generally configured to mount an electric vehicle on a pallet and charge the electric vehicle mounted in a parking storage portion of the pallet. As a configuration for charging the electric vehicle, a battery is charged by connecting a charging cable to the electric vehicle via a power supply relay unit provided on the pallet from the charging power supply device.

  In addition, as a prior art of this type, a charging-side connecting portion connected to a battery-side connecting portion of an electric vehicle is provided on a pallet, and the pallet is stored in a parking shelf so that the charging-side connecting portion becomes a charging device on the parking device side. There is one provided with a circuit connection portion to be connected to (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  In addition, as another prior art, a cable having an outlet connected to an electric vehicle is provided on a pallet of a multi-story parking apparatus, and the pallet side contact and the parking shelf side contact by moving when the pallet is stored in the storage space. Is also connected (for example, see Patent Document 2).

  On the other hand, the power supply relay part (relay stand) of the pallet and the charging connection part of the battery of the mounted electric vehicle use a charging cable equipped in each electric vehicle, and charging that is always in the power supply relay part There is a system that uses a cable, but in any system, the charging adapter at the tip of the charging cable is larger than the small plug in terms of electrical stability and convenience of connection and attachment. , See Patent Document 3).

  By the way, as a difference when a general gasoline vehicle and an electric vehicle are stored in the parking device, the gasoline vehicle does not refuel inside the parking device, so even a large refueling cap is stored in a closed state. However, in the case of an electric vehicle, in order to charge the battery while it is stored in the parking device with the above charging function, it is necessary to park the vehicle while opening the charging cap and maintaining the state where the charging adapter is inserted. The large charging palate remains open. As the charging port lid in the opened state, whether the charging adapter is a small plug or a large gun-type adapter, the large lid having a diameter of about 150 mm is opened, which is the same as that of a general gasoline vehicle. It will be in the state. In particular, in the above-mentioned gun-type adapter insertion method, since the gun-type adapter is large, the charging cap is in an open state of approximately 90 °.

  On the other hand, electric vehicles are currently considered to be inferior to full tanks of gasoline cars because of the factors such as battery weight and size, and lighter mini vehicles to cover this. And is applied from small ordinary cars.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, the conventional general vehicle mounting pallet has a width dimension t of the road 127 of the charging pallet 120 mounted to a large heavy vehicle having a large vehicle width and tire outer width dimension T. Since the width of the central raised portion 125 is narrowed so that the vehicle can easily enter the vehicle, the width of the road 127 is wide with a margin. .

  However, when the electric vehicle EV such as the light vehicle or the small ordinary vehicle is put on the wide roadway 127, although it can get on the pallet 120 with a margin in the width direction, the roadway 127 has a wide width range. Since it is possible to enter the vehicle, there is a case where the vehicle is placed so that the side with the charging port 180 of the electric vehicle EV is shifted toward the relay stand 153 provided on the rising side edge portion 124 of the charging pallet 120 (in the drawing, at a distance U). It is close to the charging port side). For this reason, when the vehicle is shifted in this way, the size of the closed fuel filler cap in the gasoline vehicle does not pose a problem during storage, but in the electric vehicle EV, the charging cap 181 is opened during storage. When the gun-shaped charging adapter 156 is inserted into the charging port 180 and attached, the charging port lid 181 is opened approximately 90 ° as described above, and the outer end of the charging port lid 181 is connected to the outer shape line S (extrusion restriction line) of the pallet 120. ) May protrude to the side (in the figure, the protruding state is shown at the protruding distance W).

  And if the pallet 120 carrying the electric vehicle EV is transported to the parking storage unit as it is, the outer end portion of the charging port lid 181 that protrudes during the transport may interfere with the structure of the parking device and the adjacent parked vehicle. .

  Therefore, the present invention includes a charging pallet that can be guided and installed by physical means so that the electric vehicle is biased to the side opposite to the charging port when the electric vehicle is loaded on the pallet. Another object is to provide a mechanical parking device.

  In order to achieve the above object, the charging pallet of the present invention is a charging pallet having a power feeding relay unit for charging an electric vehicle having a charging port, and the charging pallet is mounted on the charging pallet of the electric vehicle. And a guidance guide for bringing the electric vehicle into the roadway by being shifted to the side opposite to the charging port at a distance that does not protrude to the side of the pallet when the charging port lid is opened. . The guidance guide portion in the document of this specification and the claims guides the electric vehicle to the roadway so that the electric vehicle gets on the side opposite to the charging port by physical means when the electric vehicle gets on the pallet. The part to guide. Further, the “distance” to be shifted is an amount for guiding and guiding to be shifted to the side opposite to the charging port. As a result, when the electric vehicle gets into the pallet, the electric vehicle is guided by the guidance guide part so that the electric vehicle is offset to the anti-charging port side at a distance that does not protrude from the pallet side even if the charging port cover is physically opened. Since it is guided, it is possible to reliably prevent the outer end portion of the charging port cover from protruding to the side of the pallet even if the charging port cover is opened after parking.

  Moreover, the said guidance part may be comprised by the roadway offset so that the tire of the electric vehicle to board may be guided and guided to the anti-charging port side. If it does in this way, an electric vehicle can be boarded in the state where it shifted to the anti-charging port side of a charging pallet by boarding on the roadway formed in the charging pallet.

  Furthermore, the said roadway may be comprised so that the width dimension of the roadway by the side of the said charging port may be narrowed to the anti-charging port side. If it does in this way, the tire of an electric vehicle will be guided along the narrow roadway of a charge pallet, and it can be made to get in to a charge pallet in the state where the electric vehicle was shifted to the anti-charge port side.

  In addition, the roadway is configured so that the center in the width direction of the two roadways formed on the charging pallet is offset from the center in the width direction of the pallet so as to be shifted to the anti-charging port side. Also good. In this way, since the roadway of the charging pallet has a uniform left and right width, it is possible to get the electric vehicle on the charging pallet while being shifted to the anti-charging port side by getting into those roadways. it can.

  Furthermore, the said guide part may have the guide part which the outer side part of the said roadway spreads outward in the front-back direction edge part of a pallet. If it does in this way, even if a tire is located in a guidance part at the time of boarding of an electric vehicle, it can guide to a roadway and can make an electric vehicle shift to the anti-charge port side and board.

  On the other hand, the mechanical parking device of the present invention is a mechanical parking device including any one of the above-described charging pallets, and has a function of charging an electric vehicle mounted on the charging pallet. To do. As a result, the electric vehicle that gets into the charging pallet is guided and guided so as to be shifted to the side opposite to the charging port, so that even if the electric vehicle is parked, the outer end portion is on the side of the pallet even if the charging port lid is opened. The charging pallet on which the electric vehicle is mounted can be stably moved without protruding, and stable charging can be performed by the charging function provided in the parking device at the parking portion.

  According to the present invention, without adding a special adjunct to the pallet, when the pallet of the electric vehicle is received, the electric vehicle can be guided and placed so as to be shifted to the anti-charging port side, Even if the charging lid is opened, it does not protrude to the side of the pallet, and charging during parking can always be performed stably.

The mouth 80 is placed so as to be on the same side as the rising side edge 33 and the relay stand 53 as a side-by-side guide portion, and then is landed and waited. That is, [turning 90 ° when charging pallet 30 is turned and landing, turning to 90 ° same direction of charging pallet 30 mounted on electric vehicle EV, and transporting to parking rack 11 + turning 90 ° in the same direction when landing and turning out delivery call. + After leaving the car, the empty charging pallet 30 is turned 90 ° in the same direction and stored in the parking shelf 11]. Therefore, a series of entering and leaving the same direction 90 ° turn × 4 times = 360 ° turn, so the next time you enter the car. , Have returned to the original arrangement.

  For this reason, in the case of the 90 ° entry system, whether it is the standard pallet 90 or the charging pallet 30, it is inevitably made to turn 90 ° every time when entering / exiting. Will not be an extra turn.

  As described above, according to the elevator parking apparatus 1, the electric vehicle EV is guided to the roadways 26, 27, 36, and 37 by the rising side edge portions 23 and 33 that are the guidance guide portion 22 when the electric vehicle EV is received, and the anti-charging port. Since the electric vehicle EV entering the charging pallets 20 and 30 protrudes from the side of the charging pallets 20 and 30 even when the lid 81 of the charging port 80 is opened to the maximum protruding state. You can always get in without any problems.

  Therefore, although the charging pallets 20 and 30 are substantially the same structure as the standard pallet 90 as described above, the pallets 26, 27, 36, and 37 are manufactured from the beginning so that they can be guided together. In the state where the lid 81 of the charging port 80 of the electric vehicle EV is largely opened to the side without attaching the physical guidance guide tool to the pallet, the outer end portion of the lid 81 protrudes to the side of the charging pallet 20. It is possible to reliably solve the problem that may occur when the electric vehicle EV that is in danger of being parked and charged in the elevator parking device 1 is charged.

  In the above embodiment, the lower 90 ° entry type elevator parking device 1 has been described as an example of the parking device. However, the lower 180 ° entry type parking method may be used, and is not limited to the elevator parking device. The present invention can be applied to all mechanical parking devices using a charging pallet 20 mounted on a vehicle, such as a vertical circulation type, a box-type circulation type, a circular circulation type, a plane reciprocation type, a vertical / horizontal puzzle movement type, and a multistage type.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the connector connection system is employ | adopted as a power feeding means to the charging pallet 20, for example, a trolley power feeding line and a movable current collector are provided on either the parking tower 2 side or the charging pallet 20 side. The trolley feeding system provided so as to be paired with the body may be adopted (for example, as this trolley feeding system, Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-257635 filed earlier by the present applicant can be adopted), Various forms can be applied to the power feeding method.

  Furthermore, in the elevator type parking apparatus 1 of the above embodiment, the example in which the standard pallet 90 and the charging pallet 20 are mixedly mounted has been described. However, all the pallets may be used as the charging pallet 20.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, it was set as the structure which has the relay stand 53 in two places before and behind the charging pallet 20, but when an installation model is specified by contract type, one place may be sufficient, The form is not limited.

  Furthermore, the above-described embodiment shows an example, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

  The charging pallet according to the present invention can be used for a charging pallet that is desired to be parked while physically preventing the charging port lid that is opened during charging from protruding from the pallet when the electric vehicle is loaded.
