When the drive shaft 21 is rotationally driven in the reverse direction, the chains 17 and 18 are attracted to the sprockets 23a and 23d from the pallet 3b side, and the pallet 3b is raised.

  The configurations of the sprockets 23a, 23b, 23d, 23e and the chains 17, 18 provided on the right side of FIG. 4 are the same as those of FIG. 5B, but the sprockets 23a, 23b, 23d provided on the left side of FIG. , 23e and the chains 17, 18 are arranged symmetrically.

  When the automobile 1 is parked at the parking position on the first floor, the automobile 1 enters the empty pallet 3a on the first floor (that is, the automobile 1 is not loaded. The same applies hereinafter). In addition, even if the empty pallet 3a on the first floor is located in any parking space, the automobile 1 can enter the pallet 3a by itself. When the car 1 loaded on the pallet 3a on the first floor is to be delivered, the car 1 travels from the pallet 3a. In addition, even if the said pallet 3a is located in which parking space of the 1st floor, the motor vehicle 1 can carry out self-propelled from the said pallet 3a.

  When parking the automobile 1 at the parking position on the second floor, first, the empty pallet 3b is lowered from the second floor to the first floor. At this time, when the pallet 3a is located directly below the pallet 3b, the pallet 3a on the first floor is moved in the left-right direction to the adjacent parking position so as not to interfere with the lowering of the pallet 3b. When the pallet 3b is lowered to the first floor, the car 1 gets on the pallet 3b by itself. Thereafter, the pallet 3b loaded with the automobile 1 is raised to the parking position on the second floor. When the car 1 loaded on the pallet 3b on the second floor is to be delivered, the pallet 3b is lowered from the second floor to the first floor. At this time, when the pallet 3a is located directly below the pallet 3b, the pallet 3a on the first floor is moved in the left-right direction to the adjacent parking position in the same manner as described above. When the pallet 3b is lowered to the first floor, the automobile 1 runs on its own from the pallet 3b. Thereafter, the empty pallet 3b is raised to the parking position on the second floor.

  When parking the car 1 at the parking position on the third floor, when leaving the car 1 from the pallet 3b on the third floor, when parking the car 1 at the parking position on the second floor, and from the pallet 3b on the second floor This is the same as when the car 1 is left. However, when the pallet 3b is lowered from the third floor to the first floor, if the pallet 3a on the first floor and the pallet 3b on the second floor are located directly below the pallet 3b, the pallets 3a and 3b are moved to the third floor. It is moved in the left-right direction to the adjacent parking position so as not to interfere with the lowering of the pallet 3b. Similarly, when the pallet 3b is raised from the first floor to the third floor, the pallets 3a and 3b should not interfere with the rise.

  When parking the car 1 at the 4th floor parking position, when leaving the car 1 from the 4th floor pallet 3c, when parking the car 1 at the 2nd floor parking position, and from the 2nd floor pallet 3b This is the same as when the car 1 is left. However, when the pallet 3c is lowered from the fourth floor to the first floor, if the first, second, and third floor pallets 3a and 3b are located directly below the pallet 3c, the pallets 3a and 3b are moved to the pallet. It moves left and right to the next parking position so as not to interfere with the descent of 3c. Similarly, when the pallet 3b is raised from the first floor to the fourth floor, the pallets 3a and 3b should not interfere with the rise.

For each pallet 3a on the first floor, the parking position on the first floor where the pallet 3a can be located also serves as a warehousing position where the automobile 1 can travel on the pallet 3a and get on the pallet 3a. It will also be a shipping position where it can run on its own.
For the pallets 3b and 3c on the second floor, the third floor, and the fourth floor, the position on the first floor where the pallet can descend is the warehousing position where the automobile 1 can travel on the pallet and get in, and the automobile 1 It will also be an unloading position where you can self-propel from the pallet.

(Configuration with charging function)
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the parking device 10 with the charging function includes the charging device 20 that charges the electric vehicle 1 when the electric vehicle 1 is loaded on the pallet 3a, 3b, or 3c.
6 is a view taken in the direction of arrows VI-VI in FIG. FIG. 7A is a view taken along arrow VII-VII in FIG. 3, and FIG. 7B shows a state where the pallet 3b is lowered from the state of FIG. 7A. 8A is a view taken along the line VIII-VIII in FIG. 4, and FIG. 8B shows a state in which the pallet 3b is lowered from the state in FIG. 8A. In FIGS. 7A and 8A, the frame 15, the structure 9, the sprockets 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d, and 23e, and the chains 17 and 18 are indicated by broken lines.

The charging device 20 is provided for each pallet 3a, 3b, 3c. As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the charging device 20 includes a predetermined power source (not shown) provided in the stationary structure, a power supply cable 25 electrically connected to the power source, And a power supply connection portion (for example, a connector) 29 provided at the tip of the cable 25 opposite to the power source. The power feeding connection portion 29 can be connected to a charging connection portion (for example, a connector) of the electric vehicle 1. The storage battery of the electric vehicle 1 is charged by connecting the power feeding connection portion 29 to the charging connection portion of the electric vehicle 1.
When the power feeding connection portion 29 is connected to the charging connection portion of the electric vehicle 1 loaded on the pallets 3a, 3b, and 3c, the length can follow the movement even if the pallets 3a, 3b, and 3c move. Has a power supply cable 25.

  The charging device 20 further includes a lock mechanism 31 installed on the pallets 3a, 3b, and 3c, as shown in FIGS. The lock mechanism 31 clamps (restrains) the power supply cable 25, so that when the pallet moves, the power supply cable 25 portion from the clamping portion (that is, the cable 25 portion sandwiched by the lock mechanism 31) to the power supply connection portion 29. It prevents the tension from acting on.

  The parking device with a charging function 10 includes an operation unit 33 that allows the lock mechanism 31 to be switched between a locked state in which the power feeding cable 25 is pinched (restrained) and a non-locked state in which the power feeding cable 25 is not pinched.

  FIG. 9A is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 6, FIG. 7A or FIG. 8A, and shows a locked state of the lock mechanism 31. FIG. 9B shows a case where the lock mechanism 31 is unlocked from the state of FIG. 6 to 9, the lock mechanism 31 is a cam 31a and a facing member 31b facing the cam 31a, and the operation unit 33 is a lever. The state shown in FIG. When the lever 33 is tilted to the state, the cam 31a rotates around the eccentric shaft C1, so that the lock mechanism 31 is locked, and the outer peripheral surface of the cam 31a holds the power supply cable 25 between the opposing member 31b. When the lever 33 is stood up as shown in FIG. 9B from this locked state, the clearance between the outer peripheral surface of the cam 31a and the opposing member 31b increases, and the lock mechanism 31 is unlocked. As a result, the outer peripheral surface of the cam 31a does not sandwich the power supply cable 25 with the opposing member 31b. As a result, when a person pulls the power supply cable 25, the cable 25 passes through the lock mechanism 31, and the power supply cable 25 can be unwound by a desired length from a drum 35 described later.

  FIG. 9C is a view taken along the line CC in FIG. 9B. As shown in FIG. 9C, a member 31c that sandwiches the power supply cable 25 from both sides in the horizontal direction is provided in the lock mechanism 31 so that the power supply cable 25 is maintained between the cam 31a and the opposing member 31b. . In the example of FIG. 9C, the member 31c is fixed to the opposing member 31b, and the cam 31a is supported by the member 31c so as to be rotatable around the eccentric axis C1.

  The above-described configuration of the charging device 20 is the same among the pallets 3a, 3b, and 3c on the first floor, the second floor, the third floor, and the fourth floor, but the configuration of the charging device 20 described below is the same as that of the pallets 3a, 3b, and 3c. It depends on the floor.

  On the first floor, the power supply cable 25 of the charging device 20 provided on the pallet 3a includes a power supply cable 25a and a power supply cable 25b. As shown in FIG. 6, each pallet 3 a is provided with a drum 35 around which a power supply cable 25 (power supply cable 25 a) is wound. Since each pallet 3a on the first floor can move left and right only between two adjacent parking positions, as shown in FIG. 2, a feeding cable 25 (feeding cable 25b) having a length capable of following the movement. ) Extends from the stationary power supply 32 and is fixed to the drum 35 on the pallet 3a. The power supply cable 25b is electrically connected to a power supply cable 25a wound around the drum 35 on the pallet 3a (for example, an end of the power supply cable 25a wound first around the drum 35).

  The drum 35 installed on the pallet 3a on the first floor may be omitted. In this case, the feeding cable 25 (feeding cable 25b) having a length that can follow the movement of the pallet 3a on the first floor is fixed on the stationary side. It may extend from the power source 32 to the power supply connecting portion 29 provided at the tip thereof via the lock mechanism 31 on the pallet 3a. Other configurations may be the same as those described above or later.

  On the second or third floor, as shown in FIG. 7, the frame 15 is provided with a drum 35 around which the power supply cable 25 is wound. As the pallet 3b is moved up and down, the connection cable (not shown) can follow the movement of the frame 15 from the stationary power supply (not shown) to the drum 35 where the power supply cable 25 is wound or unwound from the drum 35. A power supply cable 25 that extends in length and is wound around the drum 35 (for example, an end portion of the power supply cable 25 that is first wound around the drum 35) is electrically connected to the connection cable.

  On the fourth floor, as shown in FIG. 8, a drum 35 around which a power supply cable 25 is wound is installed in the stationary structure 9. As the pallet 3c moves up and down, the power supply cable 25 is wound or unwound from the drum 35. An electric wire (for example, a cable) extends from the power source to the drum 35, and the power supply cable 25 (for example, an end of the power supply cable 25 that is first wound on the drum 35) is electrically connected to the electric wire. It is connected.

  On the pallets 3b and 3c on the second floor, the third floor, and the fourth floor, a pulley 37 on which the power supply cable 25 is hung is installed at a position almost directly below the corresponding drum 35. The power supply cable 25 extends from the drum 35 to the power supply connection portion 29 via the pulley 37 and the lock mechanism 31 in this order. The pulley 37 can smoothly wind the power supply cable 25 around the drum 35 and unwind the electric cable 25 from the drum 35 as the pallets 3b and 3c are moved up and down.

  Each drum 35 on the first floor to the fourth floor (that is, the drum 35 provided on the pallet 3a on the first floor, the drum 35 provided on the frame 15 on the second or third floor, and the drum 35 provided on the structure 9) A winding force (for example, an elastic force by a spring, a rotational driving force by a motor, etc.) is always acting so as to rotate in the direction in which the power feeding cable 25 is wound. Therefore, especially when the pallets 3b and 3c are raised from the first floor to the second floor, the first floor to the third floor, or the first floor to the fourth floor, the drum 35 is rotated by the winding force with the rise. Since the power feeding cable 25 is automatically wound, the sagging of the power feeding cable 25 can be prevented. On the other hand, when the pallets 3b and 3c are lowered, the portion of the power supply cable 25 sandwiched and fixed by the lock mechanism 31 pulls the power supply cable 25 on the drum 35 side and rotates the drum 35 against the winding force. Thereby, the feeding cable 25 is unwound from the drum 35 as the pallets 3b and 3c are lowered.

  6 to 9, the operation unit 33 and the lock mechanism 31 are installed on the top of the pole 41 so that the height of the operation unit 33 is about the height of a human hand.

(Pallet configuration)
Based on FIG. 11, the structure of the pallet by embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.
FIG. 11 (A) corresponds to the pallet of FIG. 10, but shows a configuration when the present invention is applied. That is, FIG. 11 (A) shows only the pallet of FIG. 10, but is a diagram in the case where a regulating member 53 described later is provided. FIG. 11B is a view taken along arrow BB in FIG. That is, FIG. 11B is a plan view of the pallet. The pallet 3 in FIG. 11 is the pallet 3a, 3b, or 3c described above. FIG. 11C shows a case where the pallet 3 is not provided with a regulating member 53 described later. FIG. 11D corresponds to the front portion of FIG. 11B, but shows another configuration example.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the pallet 3 includes a pallet main body 51 on which the electric vehicle 1 is loaded and supports the weight thereof, and a passage range of the tire 1 a of the electric vehicle 1 when the electric vehicle 1 gets into the pallet main body 51. A regulating member 53 for regulating. In FIG. 11, the left and right tires 1a of the electric vehicle 1 are indicated by broken lines.

The pallet main body 51 includes a pair of tire loading surfaces 51a extending in the front-rear direction so that the left and right tires 1a of the electric vehicle 1 can pass when the electric vehicle 1 gets into the pallet main body 51, and the charging device 20 And an apparatus installation end 51b which is an end in the left-right direction.
In this example, as the charging device 20, the above-described feeding connection portion 29, feeding cable 25 or 25a, lock mechanism 31, operation portion 33, pole 41, and holding member 43 are installed on the device installation end 51b. . In the case of the pallet 3a, a drum 35 is also installed as the charging device 20. In FIG. 11, a region X indicated by an alternate long and short dash line is a region necessary to be secured in order to connect the charging device 20 to the electric vehicle 1 where the charging device 20 is installed.

  In the present embodiment, the pallet main body 51 has a central portion 51c located between the pair of tire loading surfaces 51a in the left-right direction. The central portion 51c rises upward from these tire loading surfaces 51a.

  The restricting member 53 covers the part of the tire loading surface 51a on the side opposite to the device installation end 51b in the left-right direction of the pair of tire loading surfaces 51a so as to block a part on the device installation end 51b side. It rises upward from a part and is joined to the pallet main body 51 so as to extend along the tire loading surface 51a in the front-rear direction. Thereby, the allowable range of the tire 1a on the tire loading surface 51a is limited to a range R on the opposite side of the device installation end 51b (see FIG. 11B).

  The regulating member 53 is manufactured separately from the pallet body 51 and then joined to the pallet body 51. The material of the regulating member 53 only needs to be strong enough to limit and guide the passing range of the tire 1a as described above, and may be, for example, metal or resin.

The joining of the metal pallet main body 51 and the regulating member 53 may be complete fixing with bolts or simple fixing with pins or screws, or if the regulating member 53 is metal, welding may be performed. You may go.
As simple fixing, it may be detachable by a stopper (not shown) having such strength that it can limit and guide the passing range of the tire 1a.
Moreover, by making it detachable and allowing it to be attached to either the left or right of the pallet central portion 51c, the charging device can be provided on both sides, or the charging device can be installed on either the left or right. In this case, it is possible to cope with the case where it is desired to restrict the passage of the electric vehicle 1 to an arbitrary opposite side.
In addition, when a normal vehicle that is not an electric vehicle is received, there is no necessary area to be connected to connect the charging device 20 to the electric vehicle 1, or the charging device 20 is installed on a sufficiently small conventional pallet. Even if there is no problem with the conventional pallet, such as when there is no need to restrict the passage of the region X, the tire can be used without being restricted.

  In the present embodiment, the regulating member 53 is joined to the pallet body 51 so as to be adjacent to the central portion 51c in the left-right direction.

  The pallet body 51 has an end 51d opposite to the apparatus installation end 51b in the left-right direction. The end 51d and the apparatus installation end 51b rise upward from the tire loading surface 51a.

The front side portion of the pallet 3 may be as shown in FIG. In FIG. 11 (D), the end 51d and the device installation end 51b have front end portions 56 and 57 on the side where the electric vehicle 1 rides as guide portions of the tire 1a, respectively. As shown in FIG. 11D, the width of each of the front side end portions 56 and 57 in the left-right direction (the left-right direction in FIG. 11D) is the front side (FIG. 11D It increases as it moves from the lower side) to the rear side. As a result, the side surface 58 of the front side end portion 56 and the side surface 59 of the device installation end portion 51b guide the tire 1a toward the center portion 51c when the electric vehicle 1 gets into the pallet 3. Therefore, even if the regulating member 53 is provided, it is not difficult for the electric vehicle 1 to enter the pallet 3.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11 (D), the width in the left-right direction of the front end 53a of the regulating member 53 is the rear side from the front side (lower side of FIG. 11 (D)) where the electric vehicle 1 rides. You may make it become large as it shifts to. Thereby, the tire 1a can be guided by the side surface 55 of the front side end portion 53a. The side surfaces 55, 58, 59 should be inclined at the same angle with respect to a virtual vertical plane extending in the front-rear direction.

According to the present embodiment, the restricting member 53 is located above the part so as to close a part on the apparatus installation end 51b side of the tire loading surface 51a on the opposite side to the apparatus installation end 51b in the left-right direction. And is joined to the pallet main body 51 so as to extend along the tire loading surface 51a in the front-rear direction, so that the tire passing range on the tire loading surface 51a is opposite to the device installation end 51b. Can be limited to the side range. Moreover, since the regulating member 53 closes a part of the one tire loading surface 51a on the side opposite to the device installation end 51b in the left-right direction, the vehicle can be stored in the parking device. The distance between the left tire 1a and the right tire 1a is not reduced.
Further, in the parking apparatus 10 of FIG. 1, the pallets 3b and 3c are lifted in a state in which the feeding connection portion 29 is connected to the charging connection portion of the electric vehicle 1 loaded on the pallets 3b and 3c as shown in FIG. Even so, it is possible to prevent the power supply connection portion 29 from colliding with the frame 15 or the stationary structure 9.

In addition, you may make it like FIG. 12 as needed. 12A corresponds to FIG. 11A, and FIG. 12B is a BB arrow view of FIG. 12A. As shown in FIG. 12, the tire loading surface 51a on the apparatus installation end 51b side is the same as described above so as to rise upward from the part so as to block the part opposite to the apparatus installation end 51b. A second regulating member 53 having a configuration may be joined to the pallet body. In this case, the direction in which the side surface 55 of the front end 53a of the regulating member 53 faces is the charging device 20 side, and the lateral width of the regulating member 53 is provided on the side opposite to the charging device 20 described above. The width of the regulating member 53 may be smaller than the width in the left-right direction.
As described above, by providing the two regulating members 53 on both sides of the central portion 51c and adjacent to the central portion 51c in the left-right direction, the position of the electric vehicle 1 on the pallet body is limited to an appropriate range. Can do.
