BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle posture correcting device for correcting the posture of a vehicle to be stored at the entrance / exit of a so-called pallet type parking lot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a mechanical parking lot, a vehicle is placed on an empty pallet moved to an entrance / exit, and the entire pallet is transported and stored in a predetermined parking space by an elevator or a trolley. Pallet parking is known.

As a means for increasing the volumetric efficiency in this pallet type parking lot, it is effective to make the pallet small. For that purpose, the vehicle should always be accurately placed on the pallet.

[0004]

However, since the driver has various driving skills and it is difficult to always stop the vehicle on the pallet in an accurate posture, the pallet must be made larger than necessary. There was a problem of not becoming.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to correct the vehicle in advance to a correct posture when the vehicle is placed on the pallet, and thus to make the pallet the minimum necessary size. An object of the present invention is to provide a possible vehicle attitude correction device.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a vehicle on each parking floor of a pallet type multi- storey car park.

[0007]

Function: The vehicle is temporarily stopped on the roller of the introduction portion that guides it onto the pallet. Since the rollers support the wheels so that they can move laterally, the posture of the vehicle can be easily corrected.

Then, the pushers press the wheels of the vehicle from both sides, whereby the vehicle is corrected to the correct posture with respect to the pallet.

Therefore, the driver can stop the vehicle on the pallet in the correct posture by simply advancing the vehicle in the same posture, so that the pallet can be reduced to the minimum required size.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 is an elevator connecting the respective parking floors of a pallet type multi-storey car park formed in the basement, and the entrance / exit 3 of the vehicle 2 is located in the portion located on the ground.
Are formed. In this pallet type parking lot, an empty pallet 4 is carried to a loading / unloading gate 3 by an elevator 5 of an elevator 1 before a vehicle 2 is loaded, and is slid to a floor 6 in front of the loading / unloading gate 3 to stand by. It is designed to let you.

The pallet 4 is formed of a steel plate or the like in a plane rectangular shape slightly larger than the vehicle 2, and the wheels 7 of the vehicle 2 are formed on the upper surface of the pallet 4 along the longitudinal direction thereof.
A pair of parallel grooves 9 for guiding 8 are formed.

A vehicle introducing portion 10 for introducing the vehicle 2 onto the pallet 4 is formed on the floor 6 located at one end in the longitudinal direction of the pallet 4 at the standby position.
At 0, a device 11 for correcting the attitude of the vehicle 2 is provided. This device 11 is rotatably arranged on a floor 6 and supports a roller 12 that supports wheels 7 and 8 of a vehicle 2 so that they can move laterally, and a pusher 1 that presses the wheels 7 and 8 on the roller 12 from both sides.
It is mainly composed of 3a to 13d.

A large number of rollers 12 are arranged adjacent to each other in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the pallet 4 and orthogonal thereto. Further, the roller 12 is divided into a roller 12a that supports the front wheels 7 of the vehicle 2 and a roller 12b that supports the rear wheels 8 of the vehicle 2.
Is formed to be long.

The pusher 13 is a hydraulic cylinder 14.
And the pressure plate 1 attached to the tip of the piston rod
It is mainly composed of 5 and 5. Also, the pusher 13a
13d are arranged outside the front wheels 7 and the rear wheels 8 of the vehicle 2, and the pressing plates 15 contact the outer surfaces of the wheels 7 and 8 and press them along the arrangement direction of the rollers 12. ing.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.

When the vehicle 2 is loaded, the vehicle shown in FIG.
As described above, the empty pallet 4 is previously moved to the standby position in front of the loading / unloading port 3. Then, the vehicle 2 is moved to the vehicle introduction portion 10, the front wheels 7 and the rear wheels 8 are positioned on the rollers 12, and the vehicle 2 is temporarily stopped. In this state, the operator of the parking lot confirms the posture of the vehicle 2, and if the posture of the vehicle 2 is not correct as shown in FIG. 6B, the necessary pushers 13a to 13d are operated to make the vehicle 2 correct. Correct the posture. Since the wheels 7 and 8 of the vehicle 2 are laterally supported on the rollers 12, the posture of the vehicle 2 can be easily corrected.

After the posture of the vehicle 2 is corrected, the vehicle 2 is advanced straight as shown in FIG. 3 (c) to guide it onto the pallet 4, and is stopped to let the driver or the like get off. Then, the vehicle 2 together with the pallet 4 may be moved onto the elevator 5 of the elevator 1 as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, at the temporary stop position, the vehicle 2
If the posture is correct, the vehicle 2 may be advanced straight and guided onto the pallet 4 without correcting the posture.

As described above, since the vehicle 2 can be corrected to the correct posture before being placed on the pallet 4, it is possible to stop the vehicle 2 on the pallet 4 in the correct posture only by moving the vehicle 2 forward in the same posture. Therefore, it is not necessary to make the pallet 4 larger than necessary to facilitate the warehousing, so that the pallet 4 can be made to have the minimum necessary size and the volume efficiency of the parking lot can be improved.

Although the operator operates the pushers 13a to 13d in the embodiment, the posture of the vehicle 2 may be automatically corrected by automatic control. In this case, sensors 16a to 16d that detect the posture of the vehicle 2 are provided on both sides of the front and rear of the vehicle 2. Sensors 16a-1
6d is composed of an optical sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, etc., and measures the distances l1, l2, l3, l4 from the sensors 16a to 16d to the vehicle 2 as shown in FIG. 2 (b).

The output signals of the sensors 16a to 16d are input to the control unit 17, which controls the sensors 16a to 16d.
The pushers 13a to 13d are used to adjust the posture of the vehicle 2 to a preset posture by the signal from d, that is, the posture in which the center line C1 of the vehicle 2 matches the center line C2 of the pallet 4.
Is configured to be controlled.

According to this configuration, the sensors 16a-16
d measures the distance to the front and rear sides of the vehicle 2 on the roller 12, and these are controlled by the control unit 19 to be l1 = l2, l3 =
If it is judged that they are not l4, these are l1 = l2, l3
The pushers 13a to 13d are controlled so that = 14, and the posture of the vehicle 2 is automatically corrected.

[0024]

In summary, according to the present invention, when the vehicle is placed on the pallet of the pallet type parking lot, the vehicle can be easily corrected to the correct posture in advance, so that the pallet is made to have the minimum necessary size. It is possible to improve the volumetric efficiency of the parking lot.
