Description

  The present invention relates to a mechanical parking device of a type provided with a warehousing section in a building.

  Some mechanical parking apparatuses include a storage part that stores a vehicle inside a building, and a wall surface of the building is provided with a storage port that communicates with the storage part. The entrance is often provided with an openable door.

  In addition, in the mechanical parking device, according to the type of the building, the vehicle transportation method in the building, the storage method, etc., the warehousing unit having the warehousing port and the warehousing unit having the warehousing port are separately provided. In addition to the case, there may be a configuration in which the warehousing part is used as a warehousing part shared with the outgoing part, or a structure in which the warehousing part is used as a warehousing part shared with the outgoing part.

  By the way, water (rain water) adheres to the vehicle which was raining. Furthermore, mud may adhere to the vehicle. In addition, snow and water generated by melting the snow are attached to a vehicle that has fallen into snow. Furthermore, in the fallen leaves season, fallen leaves may adhere to the vehicle. When there is moisture derived from rain water or the like, the fallen leaves may stick to the vehicle.

  In the conventional mechanical parking apparatus, even if the adhering vehicle such as water, mud, and fallen leaves adheres to the vehicle to be stored, the vehicle is allowed to enter the storage unit as it is. For this reason, the adhering matter enters the building of the mechanical parking apparatus along with the vehicle to be stored.

  Moreover, when warehousing a vehicle to which snow is attached, it is required that the user perform an operation to remove as much snow as possible from the vehicle before warehousing. However, for example, the amount of snow that could not be removed manually by a user is entering the building of the mechanical parking device as a vehicle deposit, accompanied by the entering vehicle.

  As a device for removing snow on the vehicle body before the vehicle enters the parking device, a snow removal device has been conventionally proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  This is configured to include an automatic in-vehicle placement pallet supported so as to be capable of vibration and a vibrator for applying vibration to the automatic in-vehicle placement pallet. Further, it has been proposed that the pallet is divided into a plurality of parts and that the in-vehicle pallet is inclined.

  According to such a snow accumulating device, it is said that by vibrating the automatic in-vehicle pallet with the vehicle mounted, this vibration is transmitted to the vehicle and the snow on the vehicle body falls due to the vibration.

JP 61-169358 A

  However, the method of applying vibration to the vehicle disclosed in Patent Document 1 can eliminate snow accumulation in which the inertia force generated by the vibration acts greatly as compared to the adhesion force to the vehicle. Even so, water adhering to the vehicle due to surface tension, or snow adhering to the vehicle without becoming mud or lump is difficult to remove from the vehicle.

  Furthermore, it is difficult to remove the fallen leaves that are stuck to the vehicle via moisture of rainwater or the like by simply oscillating the vehicle body.

  By the way, when the amount of water, mud, snow, fallen leaves, and other deposits that enter the building of the mechanical parking device increases with the vehicle, the mechanical parking device is affected by the moisture contained in the deposit. The possibility of malfunctions in the electrical system increases.

  Furthermore, mud and fallen leaves that have entered the building of the mechanical parking device as vehicle deposits may be detached from the vehicle as it dries. Therefore, the amount of deposits that accompany the vehicle and enter the building of the mechanical parking device is increased due to mud and fallen leaves detached from the vehicle in the sensor provided in the building of the mechanical parking device. This leads to easy contamination.

  Therefore, in the conventional mechanical parking apparatus, as a countermeasure against the malfunction of the electrical system and the contamination of the sensor, the actual situation is that the maintenance frequency is high and the work time required for the maintenance is increased.

  Moreover, when the quantity of the deposit | attachment which accompanies a vehicle and penetrates into the building of a mechanical parking apparatus increases, the frequency | count of the cleaning for keeping a warehouse part in a clean condition increases.

  Therefore, in the mechanical parking device, in order to reduce the labor and time required for maintenance and cleaning as described above, it is desired to suppress the adhering matter adhering to the vehicle from entering the building.

  Therefore, the present invention is intended to provide a mechanical parking device that can suppress the adhering of a vehicle to the building.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a mechanical parking device comprising a building, a warehousing part provided inside the building, and a warehousing port provided in communication with the warehousing part. The adhering material removal device is disposed upstream of the warehousing port or the vehicle entrance direction with respect to the warehousing port, and the adhering material removing device is configured to enter the vehicle with respect to the vehicle entering the warehousing port. The mechanical parking apparatus has a configuration having a function of applying a flow of air including a component in a direction facing the upstream side of the direction.

  The adhering matter removing device includes an upper injection nozzle provided on an upper frame portion of the door frame of the door of the warehousing port, or an upper frame disposed on the upstream side of the vehicle entrance direction of the upper frame portion, A left side frame part and a right side frame part of the door frame, or side injection nozzles provided on left and right side frames arranged upstream of the left frame part and the right frame part in the vehicle approach direction, The upper injection nozzle has a posture in which the air injection direction is obliquely downward inclined to the upstream side of the vehicle approach direction, and the side injection nozzle is configured such that the air injection direction is the left-right direction of the warehousing port. In this configuration, the posture is inclined downward and inclined toward the upstream side in the vehicle entrance direction.

  The upper injection nozzle forms a flow of air containing a leftward flow component in a region on the left side of the left-right center of the warehousing port, and in a region on the right side of the left-right center of the warehousing port, It is the structure provided with the function which forms the flow of the air containing the flow component of the right direction.

  Based on the detection means of the vehicle arranged upstream of the injection nozzles in the vehicle approach direction, air supply means for supplying air to the injection nozzles, and signals from the detection means And a controller that controls the start and stop of the injection of the air from each of the injection nozzles.

  According to the mechanical parking apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to suppress entry of vehicle deposits into the building.

  An opening / closing door 5 is provided at the warehousing port 4. 1 and 2 both show a state in which the door 5 is released. In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the door 5 is exemplified by a type in which a flat plate member moves up and down. However, if the door 5 has a function of opening and closing the warehousing port 4, the door 5 is a flat plate member. Of course, it may be of any type other than that shown in the figure, such as a type that moves in the horizontal direction or a type that uses a shutter.

  An operation panel 6 for a user (not shown) to perform a warehousing operation is provided near the warehousing port 4 on the wall surface 2a of the building 2.

  Note that the warehousing unit 3 including the warehousing port 4 may be provided separately from the warehousing unit including the warehousing port depending on the type of the building 2, the transporting method, the storing method, and the like of the vehicle 7 inside the building 2. Alternatively, the warehousing unit 3 may be a loading / unloading unit shared with the shipping unit, and the warehousing port 4 may be a loading / unloading port shared with the shipping port.

  Here, for convenience of explanation, the left hand side in the state where the warehousing port 4 is viewed from the position facing the warehousing port 4 on the outside of the building 2 is referred to as the left direction in the mechanical parking device 1 of the present embodiment, and vice versa. The right hand side as the direction is referred to as the right direction in the mechanical parking device 1 of the present embodiment.

  In addition, the direction indicated by the arrows in FIGS. 1 and 2 when the vehicle 7 moves toward the warehousing port 4 from the position facing the warehousing port 4 outside the building 2 at the time of warehousing is hereinafter referred to as a vehicle approach direction X. .

  The mechanical parking apparatus 1 of this embodiment is further provided with a deposit removing device 9 as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3.

  The deposit removing device 9 in the present embodiment includes air nozzles 10 and 11 provided on the door frame 8 of the door 5 of the warehousing port 4 and jet nozzles 10 and 11 as shown in FIGS. Further, the detection means 13 of the vehicle 7 arranged at the position upstream of the vehicle approach direction X, the air supply means 14 for supplying the air 12 to each of the injection nozzles 10 and 11, as shown in FIG. Based on the signal from the means 13, the controller 15 is configured to control the start and stop of the injection of the air 12 from the injection nozzles 10 and 11.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the door frame 8 is disposed on the left end side of the warehousing port 4 and the upper frame portion 8 a that is disposed on the upper end side of the warehousing port 4 and extends in the left-right direction. The left frame portion 8b extending in the vertical direction and the right frame portion 8c extending in the vertical direction disposed on the right end side of the warehousing port 4 are used as a three-sided frame.

  In the upper frame portion 8a, upper injection nozzles 10 are provided at a plurality of positions in the left-right direction.

  As shown in FIG. 1, each upper injection nozzle 10 is provided on the lower surface of the upper frame portion 8 a in such a posture that the injection direction of the air 12 is obliquely downward inclined from the vertical downward direction to the upstream side of the vehicle approach direction X. ing.

  As a result, the deposit removing device 9 forms a flow of obliquely downward air 12 inclined to the upstream side in the vehicle entry direction X below the upper frame portion 8a by the air 12 injected from each upper injection nozzle 10. be able to.

  The flow of the air 12 injected from one upper injection nozzle 10 gradually diffuses as it advances. In view of this point, the deposit removing device 9 performs injection from an adjacent upper injection nozzle 10 at a height position corresponding to the upper limit value of the vehicle height of the vehicle 7 that can be received by the mechanical parking device 1 of the present embodiment. The space | interval of the left-right direction of each upper injection nozzle 10 is set so that the area | region where the flow of the performed air 12 may contact | abut or it overlaps partially.

  Accordingly, when the vehicle 7 enters the lower side of the upper frame portion 8a from the upstream side in the vehicle entry direction X in the state where the air 12 is injected from each upper injection nozzle 10 in the deposit removing device 9, the vehicle 7 The flow of the air 12 injected from each upper injection nozzle 10 can be applied to an upward or obliquely upward vehicle body surface such as a bonnet or a roof. Thereby, the flow of the air 12 including the flow component in the direction toward the upstream side of the vehicle entry direction X can be formed at a position along the vehicle body surface upward or obliquely upward of the vehicle 7. Therefore, the adhering matter removing device 9 enters the vehicle along the vehicle body surface along the vehicle body surface by the flow of the air 12 injected from the upper injection nozzle 10 to the adhering material 16 adhering to the vehicle body surface upward or obliquely upward of the vehicle 7. It can be moved toward the upstream side in the direction X, or it can be detached from the surface of the vehicle body and blown away upstream in the vehicle entry direction X. Even if the adhering matter 16 is moved toward the upstream side in the vehicle approach direction X along the surface of the vehicle body by the flow of the air 12 injected from the upper injection nozzle 10, the rear end side of the vehicle 7 has the upper frame. When entering the lower part of the part 8a, the vehicle 7 is separated from the rear end side and blown away or dropped to the upstream side in the vehicle entry direction X.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) (b) and 5 (a) (b), the deposit removing device 9 has a plurality of upper injection nozzles 10 provided in the upper frame portion 8a. On the left side of the center of the direction, the upper injection nozzle 10L that forms a flow of the air 12 that is inclined downward and inclined to the left from the direction upstream of the vehicle approach direction X is provided. Alternatively, the upper injection nozzle 10 </ b> R may be provided on the right side, which forms a flow of the air 12 that is inclined downward from the direction that is upstream of the vehicle approach direction X.

  In this case, the upper injection nozzle 10L having a leftward inclination and the upper injection nozzle 10R having a rightward inclination have, for example, a horizontal inclination as shown in FIGS. It is good also as a structure provided alternately with the upper injection nozzle 10 which is not, and as shown to Fig.5 (a) (b), it is made to arrange | position and arrange on the left side and the right side rather than the center of the left-right direction of the warehouse 4 respectively. May be.

  According to the configurations of FIGS. 4A and 4B and FIGS. 5A and 5B, the vehicle body surface facing upward or obliquely upward of the vehicle 7 entering from the upstream side of the vehicle approach direction X to the lower side of the upper frame portion 8a. On the other hand, the flow of the air 12 containing the flow component of the left direction can be applied to the area on the left side of the left-right center of the warehousing port 4, and the area on the right side of the left-right center of the warehousing port 4. Can be applied with a flow of air 12 containing a flow component in the right direction. For this reason, the deposit removing device 9 moves the deposit 16 adhering to the upward or obliquely upward body surface of the vehicle 7 in the direction upstream of the vehicle approach direction X and on the left or right side of the vehicle 7. Can be made.

  For example, when snow is attached as an adhering material 16 to an upward surface extending in the vehicle entry direction X such as a bonnet or a roof of the vehicle 7, the flow of the air 12 injected from the upper injection nozzle 10 causes If only the upstream side is moved, the moving snow adheres to the snow existing at the destination and gradually accumulates, which may make it difficult to further move upstream in the vehicle approach direction X.

  On the other hand, according to the deposit removing device 9 adopting the configuration shown in FIGS. 4A, 4B and 5A, 5B, the deposit on the upward surface extending in the vehicle entry direction X of the vehicle 7. When snow as 16 is attached, the vehicle 7 can be urged to move in either the left or right direction, so that it can be relatively quickly dropped to the side of the vehicle 7. Therefore, the adhering matter removing device 9 is attached to the surface of the vehicle 7 facing upward or obliquely upward by adopting the configuration shown in FIGS. 4 (a), 4 (b), 5 (a), 5 (b). The efficiency of removing the kimono 16 can be further improved.

  In addition, the flow of the air 12 containing the flow component of the left direction is formed in the area on the left side of the left-right center of the warehousing port 4, and the right direction is formed in the area on the right side of the left-right center of the warehousing port 4. If the flow of the air 12 including the flow component can be formed, the number, the arrangement order, and the arrangement interval of the upper injection nozzles 10, 10L, 10R are the numbers other than those illustrated, the arrangement order, Of course, the arrangement interval may be appropriately changed.

  Further, the deposit removing device 9 generates a flow of air 12 including a left flow component by the upper injection nozzle 10L or a right flow component by the upper injection nozzle 10R at the center in the left-right direction of the warehousing port 4. When it is set as the structure which forms the flow of the containing air 12, it is good also as a structure which abbreviate | omits the upper injection nozzle 10 without the inclination of the left-right direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, side injection nozzles 11 are provided at a plurality of locations in the vertical direction on the left frame portion 8 b and the right frame portion 8 c of the door frame 8.

  Each of the side injection nozzles 11 has a posture in which the injection direction of the air 12 is an obliquely downward direction inclined to the upstream side of the vehicle entrance direction X from the downward direction in the vertical direction on the center side in the left-right direction of the warehousing port 4. It is provided on the right side surface of the portion 8b and the left side surface of the right frame portion 8c.

  As a result, the deposit removing device 9 causes the air 12 injected from each side injection nozzle 11 of the left frame portion 8b to move to the right side of the left frame portion 8b on the center side of the warehousing port 4 and in the vehicle approach direction X. It is possible to form a flow of air 12 inclined obliquely downward toward the upstream side. In the air 12 injected from each side injection nozzle 11 of the right frame portion 8c, the diagonally downward air 12 inclined to the left side of the right frame portion 8c, at the center side of the warehousing port 4 and upstream of the vehicle approach direction X. Flow can be formed.

  In addition, in adhering matter removal apparatus 9, it is the position which becomes the size of 1/2 of the upper limit of the vehicle width of vehicle 7 which can be received by mechanical parking apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, and is located on the left side from the center in the left-right direction of the warehousing port. And at the position on the right side, the diffused regions of the flow of the air 12 injected from the adjacent side injection nozzles 11 contact each other or partially overlap each other in the vertical direction. An interval is set.

  Therefore, in the deposit removing device 9, when the air 12 is jetted from each side jet nozzle 11, the vehicle 7 enters between the left frame portion 8b and the right frame portion 8c from the upstream side in the vehicle approach direction X. Then, the flow of the air 12 injected from each side injection nozzle 11 can be applied to the vehicle body surface of the vehicle 7 facing left or diagonally left and the vehicle body surface facing right or diagonally right. Thereby, the flow of the air 12 including the flow component in the direction toward the upstream side in the vehicle entry direction X can be formed at positions along the left and right side surfaces of the vehicle 7. Therefore, the adhering matter removing apparatus 9 causes the adhering matter 16 adhering to the side portion of the vehicle 7 to flow upstream of the vehicle approach direction X along the surface of the vehicle body by the flow of air 12 injected from the side injection nozzle 11. It can be moved toward the side, or it can be detached from the surface of the vehicle body and blown away upstream in the vehicle entry direction X. Even if the deposit 16 is moved toward the upstream side in the vehicle approach direction X along the surface of the vehicle body by the flow of the air 12 injected from the side injection nozzle 11, the rear end side of the vehicle 7 is left When entering between the frame portion 8b and the right frame portion 8c, the vehicle is separated from the rear end side of the vehicle 7 and blown away or dropped to the upstream side in the vehicle entry direction X.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the air supply means 14 includes a header 17 to which each upper injection nozzle 10 is connected, a header 18 to which each side injection nozzle 11 of the left frame portion 8 b is connected, and a right frame portion. A header 19 to which each side injection nozzle 11 of 8c is connected, a compressor 20 as an air supply unit, and supply lines 21, 22, 23 for supplying air 12 from the compressor 20 to the headers 17, 18, 19 individually. It is set as the structure provided with.

  Further, the air supply means 14 is provided with control valves 24, 25, and 26 for controlling the opening and closing of the supply lines 21, 22, and 23, respectively. The control valves 24, 25, and 26 are normally closed in the control valves 24, 25, and 26, and the opening and closing of the control valves 24, 25, and 26 are controlled according to a control law described later of the controller 15.

  When the control valves 24, 25, and 26 are closed, the air supply means 14 is in a state where the injection of the air 12 from the injection nozzles 10 and 11 is stopped.

  On the other hand, the air supply means 14 can supply the air 12 supplied from the compressor 20 to the headers 17, 18, 19 when the control valves 24, 25, 26 are opened. Therefore, the air 12 supplied to the header 17 can be distributed and supplied from the header 17 to each upper injection nozzle 10 and can be injected from each upper injection nozzle 10. Similarly, the air 12 supplied to the header 18 can be distributed and supplied from the header 18 to the respective side injection nozzles 11 of the left frame portion 8 b and can be injected from the respective side injection nozzles 11. Further, the air 12 supplied to the header 19 can be supplied in a distributed manner from the header 19 to each side injection nozzle 11 of the right frame portion 8 c and can be injected from each side injection nozzle 11.

  The detection means 13 is a position upstream of the injection nozzles 10 and 11 in the vehicle entry direction X from the outside of the building 2 for entering the vehicle 7 moving toward the entry port 4 along the vehicle entry direction X. It has a function to detect.

  In the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the detection means 13 has a dimension set with respect to the left side of the warehousing port 4 at a position set upstream from the warehousing port 4 and upstream of the vehicle approach direction X. It is provided with a pair of left and right column members 27 arranged at an arrangement corresponding to the right end or an interval wider than the left and right width dimension of the warehousing port 4, and the light projection of the transmission type photoelectric sensor 28 is provided on each column member 27. It is set as the structure which attached the part and the light-receiving part by arrangement | positioning which opposes.

  Thereby, in the detection means 13, the vehicle 7 enters between the light projecting portion and the light receiving portion of the photoelectric sensor 28, and approaches the warehousing port 4 from the outside based on the change in the amount of light received by the light receiving portion. The vehicle 7 to be detected can be detected.

  Although not shown, the detection unit 13 may include a retroreflective photoelectric sensor. In this case, each strut member 27 may have a configuration in which a retroreflective photoelectric sensor and a reflection member (not shown) are attached to face each other.

  Moreover, if the detection means 13 can detect the vehicle 7 approaching the warehousing port 4 from the outside at a position upstream of the injection nozzles 10 and 11 in the vehicle approach direction X, a diffuse reflection type photoelectric sensor is used. Needless to say, the sensor may be configured as described above, and a sensor of an arbitrary detection method other than the photoelectric sensor may be used.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the controller 15 is configured to receive a detection signal 29 of the vehicle 7 from the photoelectric sensor 28 of the detection means 13. Further, the controller 15 has a function of individually giving an opening command 30a, 31a, 32a and a closing command 30b, 31b, 32b to the control valve 24, the control valve 25, and the control valve 26.

  Further, the controller 15 has a function of receiving, from the operation panel 6, a signal 33 indicating that the warehousing operation has been performed when the warehousing operation is performed on the operation panel 6.

  In addition, the mechanical parking apparatus 1 of this embodiment is provided with the function to perform the same warehousing process as the existing mechanical parking apparatus as the warehousing process started with the warehousing operation in the operation panel 6. That is, when the warehousing operation is performed on the operation panel 6, the mechanical parking device 1 according to the present embodiment opens the door 5 of the warehousing port 4 after making the warehousing unit 3 ready for warehousing. In this state, in the mechanical parking device 1 of the present embodiment, the user can enter the vehicle 7 from the warehousing port 4 to the warehousing unit 3 and stop it in the warehousing range. Thereafter, when the user leaves the building 2 and performs an operation of closing the door 5 on the operation panel 6, the mechanical parking device 1 of the present embodiment closes the door 5 of the warehousing port 4 and then enters the warehouse. The vehicle 7 is transported from the unit 3 to a storage place such as a storage shelf.

  Moreover, the mechanical parking apparatus 1 of this embodiment is provided with the function to perform the delivery process similar to the existing mechanical parking apparatus.

  The control law of the controller 15 is set as follows. In the following, the operation of the mechanical parking device 1 of the present embodiment will be described together with the description of the control law of the controller 15.

  When the controller 15 receives the signal 33 related to the warehousing operation from the operation panel 6 and further receives the detection signal 29 from the photoelectric sensor 28 of the detection means 13, the controller 15 sends an open command 30a, 31a to each control valve 24, 25, 26. , 32a is provided.

  Thereby, in the mechanical parking apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the vehicle 7 which is going to enter the warehousing port 4 with the door 5 of the warehousing port 4 opened with the warehousing operation on the operation panel 6 is detected. When detected at 13, the injection of the air 12 from each of the injection nozzles 10, 11 of the deposit removing device 9 can be started.

  In addition, when the vehicle 7 is detected by the detection means 13 as described above, the vehicle 7 has not yet reached the warehousing port 4 where the injection nozzles 10 and 11 are installed. Therefore, when the vehicle 7 enters the warehousing port 4, the process of applying the flow of air 12 injected from each of the injection nozzles 10, 11 of the deposit removing device 9 to the vehicle 7 can be started from the front end side of the vehicle 7. it can.

  Further, when the controller 15 detects the disappearance of the detection signal 29 of the vehicle 7 from the photoelectric sensor 28 of the detecting means 13 after giving the opening commands 30a, 31a, 32a to the control valves 24, 25, 26, the setting is made. After the set delay time, the control valves 24, 25, and 26 are provided with a function of giving close commands 30b, 31b, and 32b.

  The disappearance of the detection signal 29 of the vehicle 7 of the detection means 13 occurs when the rear end side of the vehicle 7 passes the installation position of the detection means 13. Therefore, the delay time is based on the general speed information when the vehicle 7 enters the warehousing port 4, and the speed of each of the injection nozzles 10, 11 at the warehousing port 4 from the installation position of the detection means 13 is determined. The time calculated by dividing the distance to the installed position may be set by adding an extra time.

  As a result, in the deposit removing device 9, the injection of the air 12 from each of the injection nozzles 10 and 11 stops after the rear end side of the vehicle 7 passes through the installation position of each of the injection nozzles 10 and 11.

  Alternatively, when the controller 15 detects that the vehicle 7 is stopped in the warehousing range in the warehousing section 3 by a detecting means (not shown) instead of the disappearance of the detection signal 29 from the photoelectric sensor 28 of the detecting means 13. Based on the signal, each control valve 24, 25, 26 may be provided with a function of giving a closing command 30b, 31b, 32b. Furthermore, if there is another detection means that can detect that the rear end side of the vehicle 7 has passed the installation position of each injection nozzle 10, 11, the controller 15 controls each control valve 24 based on the signal of the detection means. 25, 26 may be provided with a function of giving close commands 30b, 31b, 32b.

  Therefore, in the mechanical parking device 1 of the present embodiment, when the vehicle 7 enters the warehousing port 4 from the outside for warehousing, the deposit removal is performed with respect to the entire length from the front end side to the rear end side of the vehicle 7. A flow of air 12 sprayed from the spray nozzles 10 and 11 of the device 9 can be applied.

  For this reason, with respect to the vehicle 7 entering the warehousing port 4, the adhering material 16 attached to the upward or obliquely upward vehicle body surface, the leftward or obliquely leftward vehicle body surface, and the rightward or obliquely rightward vehicle body surface, The spray nozzles 10 and 11 can be removed by being blown away or dropped to the upstream side in the vehicle approach direction X from the installation position of the injection nozzles 10 and 11.

  In addition, when the deposit | attachment 16 adhering to the vehicle 7 is snow, the snow removed from the vehicle 7 with the flow of the air 12 sprayed from each injection nozzle 10 and 11 of the deposit | attachment removal apparatus 9 is a warehousing entrance. 4 gradually accumulates at a position on the upstream side in the vehicle approach direction X, which may hinder the movement of the vehicle 7.

  As a countermeasure, the mechanical parking device 1 of the present embodiment has a configuration in which a pit 34 is provided on a base surface at a position upstream of the vehicle entrance direction X with respect to the warehousing port 4 as shown in FIG. It is preferable to do. The pit 34 may be provided with a lid 35 made of grating or the like that can support the vehicle 7 and can pass the deposit 16. In this way, the adhering material 16 such as snow that has detached from the vehicle 7 is received in the pit 34, thereby preventing the vehicle 7 from being obstructed.

  Thus, according to the mechanical parking device 1 of the present embodiment, even if the deposit 16 is attached to the vehicle 7 to be stored, the deposit 16 enters the building 2. Can be suppressed.

  Therefore, the mechanical parking device 1 according to the present embodiment reduces the possibility of malfunctions in the electrical system of the mechanical parking device due to the influence of moisture contained in the deposit 16 such as water, mud, snow, and fallen leaves. be able to.

  Furthermore, the mechanical parking device 1 of the present embodiment is adapted to reduce the amount of deposits 16 that are accompanied by the vehicle 7 and enter the building 2, and mud and fallen leaves that are detached from the vehicle 7 due to drying. It can suppress that dirt, such as, adheres to the sensor in the building 2. FIG.

  Therefore, the mechanical parking device 1 of the present embodiment can reduce the frequency of maintenance and the work time required for the maintenance as compared with the conventional mechanical parking device. Moreover, the mechanical parking apparatus 1 of this embodiment can also reduce the frequency | count of cleaning for keeping the warehousing part 3 in a clean condition.

  In addition, the mechanical parking apparatus 1 of this embodiment is for suppressing the entrance into the building 2 of the deposit | attachment 16 accompanying the vehicle 7 to enter, and does not prevent completely. Therefore, as long as the flow of the air 12 injected from each of the injection nozzles 10, 10L, 10R, 11 hits the vehicle 7 in a state including a flow component directed upstream in the vehicle approach direction X, There is no need to strictly control how hard the part hits.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the mechanical parking apparatus and corresponds to FIG.

  In FIG. 7, the same components as those shown in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  In the configuration of the first embodiment, in the deposit removing device 9, the distance from the upper injection nozzle 10 to the roof of the vehicle 7 changes according to the vehicle height of the vehicle 7. That is, the higher the vehicle height of the vehicle 7 within the warehousing range, the shorter the distance from the upper injection nozzle 10 to the roof of the vehicle 7 in the deposit removing device 9, and the lower the vehicle height of the vehicle 7, The distance from the injection nozzle 10 to the roof of the vehicle 7 becomes longer.

  Therefore, in the deposit removing device 9, the flow of the air 12 hitting the roof of the vehicle 7 is lower as the vehicle height of the vehicle 7 is lower under the same injection amount and injection speed of the air 12 injected from the upper injection nozzle 10. Will lose momentum.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the deposit removing device 9 has a function of changing the injection amount and the injection speed of the air 12 injected from the upper injection nozzle 10 according to the vehicle height of the vehicle 7 to be stored.

  In this case, for example, the deposit removing device 9 has the same configuration as the deposit removing device 9 shown in FIG. 6, and the supply amount of the air 12 to the header 17 is increased or decreased in the supply line 21 connected to the header 17. It is set as the structure provided with the control valve 24a with the flow volume adjustment function which can be switched to these two steps.

  Vehicles to be stored are classified into two types, standard roof vehicles (ordinary vehicles) and high roof vehicles, according to vehicle height, and are stored in storage locations with corresponding vertical dimensions. There is a mechanical parking device. In such a vehicle type mixed-type mechanical parking device, usually, when performing a warehousing operation on the operation panel 6, the vehicle type to which the vehicle height of the warehousing belongs is specified, and the warehousing process is started.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the controller 15 receives the signal 33a including information on the vehicle type to which the vehicle height of the entering vehicle belongs from the operation panel 6.

  Further, when it is determined that the vehicle 7 to be stored is a high roof vehicle based on the signal 33a, the controller 15 gives the control valve 24a an opening command 30c that makes the supply amount small. When it is determined that the entering vehicle 7 is a standard roof vehicle, the control valve 24a is provided with a function of giving an opening command 30d that causes the supply amount to be large.

  In addition to the standard roof car and the high roof car, there is also a type in which the car type mixed type mechanical parking device is classified and stored into three car types including a middle roof car having an intermediate vehicle height. is there.

  In this case, the controller 15 uses a control valve 24a having a flow rate adjustment function capable of switching the supply amount of the air 12 to the header 17 in three stages of large, medium and small, and the controller 15 is based on the signal 33a. When it is determined that the entering vehicle 7 is a middle-roof vehicle, the control valve 24a may be provided with a function of giving an opening command 30e that causes the supply amount to be in the middle state.

  Further, among the left and right side injection nozzles 11 arranged in the vertical direction on the left frame portion 8b and the right frame portion 8c of the door frame 8, the side injection nozzles 11 arranged closer to the upper part are: When the entering vehicle 7 is a standard roof vehicle, it can be considered that the side surface of the vehicle 7 does not exist in the air 12 injection direction.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the side injection nozzles 11 arranged in the vertical direction are arranged above the reference with respect to the height position corresponding to the vehicle height of the standard roof car. Is connected to the upper headers 18a and 19a, and the side injection nozzle 11 arranged below the reference is connected to the lower headers 18b and 19b.

  The upper header 18a is connected to the compressor 20 via a supply line 22a provided with a control valve 25a. The lower header 18b is connected to the compressor 20 via a supply line 22b provided with a control valve 25b.

  The upper header 19a is connected to the compressor 20 via a supply line 23a provided with a control valve 26a. The lower header 19b is connected to the compressor 20 via a supply line 23b provided with a control valve 26b.

  Further, when it is determined that the vehicle 7 to be stored is a high roof vehicle based on the signal 33a, the controller 15 instructs the control valves 25a and 25b and the control valves 26a and 26b to open commands 31a and 32a. On the other hand, when it is determined that the entering vehicle 7 is a standard roof vehicle, the control valve 25b and the control valve 26b are provided with a function of giving an opening command 31a, 32a.

  In addition, what is necessary is just to make it process like the high roof vehicle, when the vehicle 7 to enter is a middle roof vehicle. This is because when the number of headers is increased, the number of supply lines is increased, the configuration becomes complicated, and the control by the controller 15 is also complicated.

  According to the mechanical parking device 1 of the present embodiment having the above configuration, in addition to the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, in the case of the vehicle type mixed type, from the upper injection nozzles 10 and the side injection nozzles 11 The preferred air 12 can be injected according to the vehicle height of the vehicle 7 entering the vehicle.

  Although not shown, the upper injection nozzles 10 are, for example, the number of the upper injection nozzles 10 that inject the air 12 when the vehicle 7 to be stored is a standard roof vehicle and when the vehicle 7 to be stored is a high roof vehicle. Needless to say, control for changing the upper injection nozzle 10 that injects the air 12 may be performed.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.

  For example, in the above-described embodiments, the upper injection nozzles 10, 10L, and 10R and the side injection nozzle 11 in the deposit removing device 9 are illustrated as being provided on the door frame 8. However, the vehicle entrance direction X of the door frame 8 is illustrated. The upper frame disposed at the same height position as the upper frame portion 8a of the door frame 8 and the left-right direction position similar to the left frame portion 8b and the right frame portion 8c of the door frame 8 The left and right side frames may be provided, and the upper injection nozzles 10, 10L, 10R may be attached to the upper frame, and the side injection nozzles 11 may be attached to the left and right side frames. In this case, the upper frame and the left and right side frames may be an integral portal frame, or may be separate from each other.

  The air 12 may be air compressed by sucking outside air by the compressor 20. For example, the mechanical parking device 1 according to the present embodiment is installed in a facility where excess pressurized air is generated. In such a case, the pressurized air supply source may be an air supply unit.

  Heating like a heater that heats the air 12 supplied to the injection nozzles 10, 10L, 10R, 11 to the supply lines 21, 22a, 22a, 22b, and supply lines 23, 23a, 23b in each embodiment. It is good also as a structure provided with a means. According to this configuration, since the heated air 12 can be injected from each of the injection nozzles 10, 10L, 10R, 11, the removal effect of the attached matter 16 can be enhanced when the attached matter 16 is snow. .

  In addition, the controller 15 has a function of acquiring information such as weather, temperature, and season, and when it is assumed that deposits are generated on the vehicle 7 such as rain, snow, or fallen leaves based on the information. Only the air 12 may be injected from the injection nozzles 10, 10 </ b> L, 10 </ b> R, 11 of the deposit removing device 9 when the vehicle 7 is stored.

  Furthermore, the controller 15 is configured so that, for example, the spray nozzles of the deposit removing device 9 when the vehicle 7 enters the vehicle 7 only when the user who enters the vehicle 7 desires to remove the deposit 16 by operating the operation panel 6. You may make it perform the injection of the air 12 from 10,10L, 10R, 11. The heating means for the air 12 may be turned on only when the user desires by operating the operation panel 6. This is because the process of spraying the air 12 on the vehicle 7 may not be desired depending on the type, shape, state, etc. of the vehicle 7 entering the warehouse.

  Thus, even if there is a case where the air 12 is not injected into the individual vehicles 7, the deposits 16 accompanying the vehicles 7 are found in the building 2 in all the vehicles that enter the mechanical parking device of the present invention. The amount entering the inside can be suppressed.

  The shapes of the injection nozzles 10, 10L, 10R, and 11 shown in the drawings and the shape of the region where the air 12 is injected are examples, and even if an injection nozzle having an arbitrary shape or shape of the injection region is employed. Of course it is good. For convenience of illustration, the injection nozzles 10, 101, 10R, and 11 have been exposed. However, it is a matter of course that a structure embedded in the door frame 8 or a structure covered with a cover may be adopted.

  If it is a mechanical parking device of a type provided with a warehousing port 4 through which a vehicle 7 enters a warehousing section 3 provided in the building 2, an elevator system, a vertical circulation system, a plane reciprocation system, a horizontal circulation system, a multi-layer circulation system, etc. The present invention may be applied to various types of mechanical parking apparatuses.

  In the mechanical parking apparatus of the present invention, the floor where the warehousing part 3 and the warehousing port 4 are provided is not limited to the lower part of the building 2, and the warehousing part 3 and the warehousing port 4 are provided in the middle part of the building 2 in the vertical direction. It may be provided. Furthermore, for example, in the case of an underground mechanical parking apparatus, the warehousing part 3 and the warehousing port 4 may be provided in the upper part of the building constructed underground.

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