  By the way, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, in the case of the mechanical parking facility 100 as in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, for example, in the case of warehousing, the pallet 104 is unloaded by the transporter 105 (in this example, having the turning mechanism 106). Arranged in the entrance 103. On the other hand, the automobile V mounted on the pallet 104 is lifted by inserting the front and rear tires T in the front-rear direction by the sandwiching arm 111 by inserting the holding and conveying device 110 below the automobile V in the loading / unloading unit 101. It is done. The nipping / conveying device 110 is moved along the rail 102 onto the pallet 104 of the loading / unloading unit 103 while rolling the roller 112 provided at the tip of the nipping arm 111 on the floor surface. At this time, the roller 112 of the clamping arm 111 is rolled on the roller rail 107 provided at the left and right positions of the pallet 104. In this way, only the automobile V is conveyed onto the pallet 104 by the sandwiching and conveying device 110, and then the automobile V is mounted on the pallet 104 by opening the sandwiching arm 111.

  However, when the wheel stopper as in Patent Document 1 is provided on the pallet 104 of such a mechanical parking facility 100, a protruding portion from the road surface exists even if the wheel stopper is in a prone state. Therefore, in order to get over the protruding portion when the automobile V is transported onto the pallet 104, it is necessary to lift the automobile V by the holding arm 111 of the holding and conveying device 110 to be higher by the protruding portion.

  Moreover, in the mechanical parking facility 100 as in Patent Document 2, the height of the holding and conveying device 110 is limited by the minimum ground height of the automobile V, so that the automobile V is held by the holding arm 111 so as to be lifted excessively. When the height of the arm 111 is increased, the minimum ground height of the vehicle V that can be transported is increased by that amount, and the number of vehicle types that can be accommodated by the nipping and transporting device 110 is decreased. In addition, the height of the carry-in / out unit 103 is required, and the space-saving property of the mechanical parking facility 100 is lost.

  A bracket 25 is provided on the lower surface of the pallet 20 from the position of the frame member 24 toward the left and right positions of the opening 23, and a bearing 26 is provided on the bracket 25. The drive shaft 33 is rotatably supported by these bearings 26. The drive shaft 33 is provided with a swing frame 35 that extends in the front-rear direction. In the car stop device 30 at the position shown in the figure, a car stop member 31 is provided at one end of the swing frame 35 (in the direction of the pallet center). A setting unit 34 is provided at the other end of 35 (in the direction of the pallet end). The drive shaft 33 extends toward the left and right end portions (downward in this figure) of the pallet 20, and the operating portion 32 is provided at the end portion.

  On the other hand, the loading / unloading unit 3 is provided with a release unit 40 that operates the operation unit 32 of the vehicle stop device 30 to move the vehicle stop member 31 from the disposed state to the retracted state in conjunction with the placement of the pallet 20 at a fixed position. ing. Details of the release unit 40 will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the setting portion 34 includes a biasing member 36 that rotates the drive shaft 33 so that the vehicle stopper member 31 is in an arrangement state in which the vehicle stopper 31 protrudes from the mounting surface 22. The vehicle stopper member 31 is maintained in an arrangement state by the urging member 36 in a state where the contact portion 35 a of the swing frame 35 is in contact with the end portion of the opening 23. In this embodiment, a spring member 36 is used as the biasing member 36. A compression spring is used for the spring member 36. The spring member 36 is provided between a truncated cone 36 a provided on the lower surface of the pallet 20 and a truncated cone 36 a of a spring seat 37 provided at a position protruding from the drive shaft 33 in a direction opposite to the vehicle stopper member 31. Yes. By providing the spring member 36 between the truncated cones 36a, even if the spring seat 37 swings about the drive shaft 33 and the spring member 36 is curved (the state shown in FIG. 3), the spring members 36 are not in the truncated cone 36a. The spring seat 37 can be urged in a direction away from the lower surface of the pallet 20.

  Further, since the car stopper member 31 is urged by the spring member 36 so as to be always placed, no other power source is required to place the car stopper member 31 in the placed state. Therefore, the configuration can be simplified.

  If comprised in this way, the urging | biasing member 36 which rocks the vehicle stop member 31 centering on the drive shaft 33 and makes it an arrangement | positioning state can be made simple. In addition, the vehicle stopper member 31 can be stably kept in a constant arrangement state by the spring member 36. Therefore, in a state in which the pallet 20 is not disposed in the carry-in / out section 3, the movement of the tire T can be appropriately prevented with the vehicle stopper member 31 in the disposed state.

  In this embodiment, the spring member 36 is a compression spring, but a tension spring that pulls from the front so that the car stopper member 31 protrudes, a torsion spring that rotates the drive shaft 33 so that the car stopper member 31 protrudes, and the car stopper member 31. It is also possible to use a weight or the like provided on the spring seat 37 so as to protrude. In the case of the configuration in which the car stopper member 31 is depressed, the car stopper member 31 may be urged by the spring member 36 or the like so as to swing downward. Further, the car stopper member 31 can be provided at a position where the tire T is placed.

  Further, the vehicle stopper member 31 is driven in a positional relationship so as to maintain the protruding state even when the tire T comes into contact with the tire contact surface 31a and a pressing force acts on the tire contact surface 31a in the arrangement state protruding from the mounting surface 22. A shaft 33 is arranged. Thereby, even if the tire T pushes the car stopper member 31 with a force larger than the force of the spring member 36, the car stopper member 31 can maintain the protruding state due to the mechanical structure.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the operating portion 32 includes an arm member 38 extending in a direction opposite to the vehicle stopper member 31 with respect to the axis of the drive shaft 33, and a columnar member 39 provided at an end of the arm member 38. have. The cylindrical member 39 is swung upward by the contact member 41 of the release unit 40 described below by disposing the pallet 20 in the carry-in / out unit 3, and the vehicle stopper member 31 is retracted via the drive shaft 33. Rocks.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the release portion 40 provided in the carry-in / out portion 3 is located at a position where the columnar member 39 provided in the operating portion 32 of the car stop member 31 comes into contact with the pallet 20 at a predetermined position. A contact member 41 is provided. The abutting member 41 is provided so as to protrude downward from the pallet 20 from the roller rail 4 on the fixed side. On the upper surface of the abutting member 41, a resin seat 42 is provided at a portion where the cylindrical member 39 of the operating portion 32 abuts (FIG. 4), so that the sound and impact at the time of abutting are softened.

  In this embodiment, since the pallet 20 is arranged in the loading / unloading unit 3 by the transporter of the elevator parking device 2, the column member 39 of the operating unit 32 and the contact member 41 of the release unit 40 are used to transport the pallet 20 by the transporter. It is arranged outside the frame material 24 to be supported and inside the width dimension of the pallet 20. Thus, the vehicle stopping member in which the release unit 40 protrudes via the drive shaft 33 in conjunction with the placement of the pallet 20 without affecting the operation of placing the pallet 20 in the loading / unloading unit 3 by the transporter of the elevator parking device 2. In the retracted state 31, the opening 23 of the mounting surface 22 can be closed by the vehicle stopper member 31 to make it flat.

  In this manner, the vehicle stop member 31 in the movable vehicle stop device 30 that can be changed between the arrangement state and the storage state is released in the carry-in / out section 3 in conjunction with the landing operation of arranging the pallet 20 at a predetermined position. The contact member 41 of the portion 40 pushes up the columnar member 39 of the operating portion 32 upward. As a result, the drive shaft 33 is rotated in the direction opposite to the biasing direction of the spring member 36, and the arranged vehicle stopper 31 is swung so as to be in the retracted state. In this stored state, the opening 23 is closed by the car stopper member 31 so as to be substantially flush with the upper surface of the mounting surface 22. The “planar shape” in the document of this specification and claims includes a slight step that allows the roller 13 of the clamping arm 12 to move smoothly, in addition to the planar shape substantially flush with the mounting surface 22. Includes a planar shape.

  Therefore, even when the roller 13 provided on the holding arm 12 of the transport device 10 passes through the opening 23, the opening 23 is in a state of being flatly covered by the car stopper member 31, so that the smoothness can be achieved. It can be passed and noise can be suppressed. Therefore, the car stopper 30 can be prevented from becoming an obstacle when the automobile V is carried in and out of the carry-in / out unit 3 by the sandwiching and conveying apparatus 10.

  Moreover, even in the case of the mechanical parking facility 1 in which the transport device 10 is inserted below the vehicle V and lifts and transports the vehicle V, there is no need to increase the holding arm 12 for stopping the vehicle. By suppressing the height, the minimum ground height of the transportable vehicle V can be suppressed, and the number of transportable vehicle types can be increased. In addition, the effective entry height of the automobile V in the carry-in / out section 3 can be lowered.

  And according to this vehicle stop apparatus 30, by moving the pallet 20 from the predetermined position of the carrying in / out part 3, the vehicle stop member 31 protrudes from the mounting surface 22 and is in an arrangement state. 30 can suppress the movement of the automobile V.

  Even when the pallet 20 is configured to turn at the loading / unloading unit 3, the car stopper member 31 protrudes by lifting the pallet 20, and the tire T is prevented from moving. Even if it tries to move, it can be blocked appropriately. In addition, if no power is provided on the pallet 20 side and the pallet 20 is raised during turning, the car stopper member 31 protrudes and is placed, and if the pallet 20 is lowered and placed at a predetermined position after turning, the car stopper member 31 is stored. Thus, it can be operated in conjunction with each other so as to be in the retracted state, and the state can be changed without requiring power.

  It should be noted that the vehicle stop member 31 of the vehicle stop device 30 is changed from the disposition state to the retracted state so that the opening 23 is closed and the mounting surface 22 is flattened at least in the carry-in / out portion 3 with the nip 20 It is only necessary when carrying in / out.

(Structure of car stopper with water receiver)
FIG. 5 is a drawing showing another embodiment in the cross section of the car stopper device 30 shown in FIG. 3, wherein (A) is a cross-sectional view in an arrangement state, and (B) is a cross-sectional view in a retracted state. In these drawings, the description of the configuration other than the vehicle stopper member 31, the swing frame 35, the drive shaft 33, and the spring seat 37 is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (A), the car stopper device 30 can be further provided with a water receiver 50. The water receiving part 50 has a water receiving container 51 that is larger than the opening 23 below the opening 23 provided on the mounting surface 22. The water receiving container 51 is a container having a drain port 54 that is open at the top and a part of the peripheral wall 52 (left end in the figure) is open, and a portion other than the drain port 54 is a water receiving part 53. The water receiving container 51 is fixed to a spring seat 37 below the car stopper member 31. The water receiving container 51 can also be fixed to the lower part of the swing frame 35. The water receiving container 51 receives water at an angle (FIG. 5 (A)) when the car stopper device 30 is in the arrangement state and collects water in the water receiving portion 53, and an angle when the car stopper device 30 is in the retracted state (FIG. 5 ( In B)), the water accumulated in the water receiving portion 53 is discharged from the drain outlet 54.

  By providing such a water receiving part 50, even if water dropped from the automobile V mounted on the pallet 20 falls from the opening 23, the water receiving part 53 of the water receiving container 51 whose upper surface is opened is stored in the lower part. You can prevent it from falling.

  Therefore, when the vehicle stopper 30 is at the angle of the arrangement state, such as when the pallet 20 is stored, water (including snow etc.) that has fallen on the pallet 20 from the automobile V mounted on the pallet 20 passes through the opening 23. Even if it falls down, it can be received by the water receiving container 51 so that water does not fall into the automobile V mounted on the lower pallet 20.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the pallet 20 is arranged in the carry-in / out section 3 and the car stopper 30 is at the retracted angle, the water outlet 54 of the water receiving container 51 faces downward, Water accumulated in the portion 53 is discharged from the drain outlet 54. Therefore, water other than the carry-in / out unit 3 can be prevented from falling from the pallet 20, and the water stored in the water receiving container 51 can be discharged by being arranged in the carry-in / out unit 3.

(Operation of the car stop device)
FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a locus when the holding arm 12 of the holding and conveying apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 1 is opened. The car stop device 30 is provided at a predetermined position before and after the tire T in the largest automobile V that can be mounted on the pallet 20. On the other hand, since the inter-tire distances (wheel base) of the automobile V mounted on the pallet 20 are mixed, when the automobile V is transported to a predetermined position of the pallet 20 and the holding arm 12 of the transport device 10 is opened, the front end There is a case where the roller 13 passes through a portion of the car stopper 30 (two-dot chain line shown). In this case, after the automobile V is lowered onto the pallet 20, the holding arm 12 is opened so as to be along the side of the apparatus main body 11, and the upper part of the car stopper 30 is passed only by the weight of the holding arm 12. become. At this time, the vehicle stopper 30 can smoothly pass the roller 13 and can suppress an impact sound because the mounting surface 22 is flat when the vehicle stopper 31 is stored.

(Modification)
In the above-described embodiment, the mechanical parking facility 1 including the elevator parking device 2 has been described as an example.
