Description

Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a multi-storey parking lot, and more particularly to improvement of entry / exit speed.

[Prior Art] In many conventional multi-story parking lots, the vehicle is completely self-propelled to enter and leave. Some of the multi-storey car parks are equipped with elevators for transporting vehicles, while other parts rely on the vehicles to move in and out. Each of these multi-storey parking lots requires a large floor area for the vehicle's self-propelled space, and passengers must enter and leave the parking floor, and thus the parking floor requires safety equipment such as an emergency escape facility. Further, there is a problem that the exhaust gas from the vehicle harms the surrounding environment.

In order to solve these problems, it is possible to construct a fully automated multistory parking lot. The challenge in this case is
To reduce the time required for loading and unloading vehicles.

For this purpose, how to accelerate the movement of the vehicle within the vehicle floor and how to accelerate the movement of the vehicle into and out of the elevator are important. If the vehicle moves slowly on the parking floor, the multi-storey car park will not function. Next, considering the case where the passenger enters the vehicle into the elevator and stops the elevator, it usually takes about 30 to 40 seconds to stop the vehicle inside the narrow elevator. Similarly, when an occupant gets into a vehicle accommodated in an elevator and departs the vehicle, it takes about 30 to 40 seconds. Since there is a limit to the number of elevators that can be provided in the multi-storey car park, there is a risk that the processing capacity of the multi-storey car park will be saturated when a vehicle enters or leaves the elevator.

[Problems of the Invention] An object of the present invention is to 1) increase the moving speed of a vehicle in a parking floor, and 2) provide an entrance berth and an exit berth separately from an elevator to allow the vehicle to move in and out by self-propelled. 3) Separate the elevator for entering and the elevator for exiting to improve the capacity of the elevator, and 4) separate the berth for warehousing and the berth for unloading to facilitate the guidance of the vehicle, and To prevent accidents such as vehicle collisions.

[Structure and Action of the Invention] The multi-story car park of the present invention includes an elevator for transporting a vehicle to a parking floor, and a carriage for transporting a vehicle between the elevator and a parking pallet provided in the parking floor. In the multi-storey parking lot provided with, the carriage is a power carriage that has a motor and wheels and is self-propelled on a rail provided on the parking floor by the power of this motor, and the parking pallet is fixed to the parking floor. However, the above-mentioned elevator is provided with two types of elevators, a storage elevator and a storage elevator, and on the storage floor,
Provide a receiving berth in contact with the incoming elevator, provide a outgoing berth in contact with the outgoing elevator, on the parking floor, along the traveling path of the power carriage, provide a parking pallet, incoming berth, outgoing berth, incoming elevator, outgoing elevator,
It is characterized in that a conveyor for moving the vehicle between them by sliding motion is provided on each floor surface of the power truck and the parking pallet.

The conveyor is, for example, a power roller for sliding the vehicle sideways, or else a belt conveyor, a slat conveyor, or the like is used. Further, it is convenient to provide the loading / unloading floor on the ground floor of the multi-storey parking lot, and it is preferable to provide a plurality of parking floors in order to take advantage of the high loading / unloading capacity of the present invention.

The operation of the present invention will be described. The improvement of the moving speed of the vehicle on the parking floor is realized by using a power truck and running it on a rail at a high speed. Next, since the parking pallet is fixed to the parking floor and the pallet is not loaded on the trolley for transportation, the waste of pallet transportation can be eliminated.

In the present invention, a storage berth and a storage berth are provided separately from the elevator. As a result, the vehicle does not have to drive into the elevator or start from the elevator by itself.
Crew members do not have to board narrow elevators.

Elevators will be separated into two types, one for storage and one for storage, to strengthen the capacity of the elevator. Along with this, the berths are also separated for receipt and delivery. As a result, a vehicle coming out of the elevator to the berth does not collide with a vehicle attempting to enter the berth, and the control of the multi-storey parking lot becomes easy. Furthermore, the self-propelled route of the incoming vehicle and the self-propelled route of the outgoing vehicle can be separated, which is safe and easy to guide.

[Embodiment] The entire structure of a multi-storey parking lot will be described with reference to Figs. 1 and 2. In FIG. 1, 2 is a building of a multilevel parking lot, 4 is an entrance floor, and 6 is an exit floor. 8-1 to 8-11
Is a set of an elevator 9 for warehousing and a berth 11 for warehousing, and one berth 11 is provided for each elevator. Numerals 10-1 to 10-11 are sets of an elevator 9'for delivery and a delivery berth 12. Similarly, a delivery berth 12 is provided for each elevator 9 '. Incoming berth 11 and outgoing berth 12
Is composed of two power rollers provided corresponding to the front and rear wheels of the vehicle. Similarly, the elevators 8 and 9'are also provided with two power rollers for transporting the vehicle. That is, the vehicle is moved between the elevators 9 and 9'and the incoming berth 11 or the outgoing berth 12 by sliding the vehicle with a power roller. Further, two storage berths 11 and two output berths 12 may be provided on both sides of one elevator 9, 9'to enhance the processing capacity of the storage berth 11 and the output berth 12. Reference numeral 13 denotes a pedestrian floor of the building, which is used for passage of pedestrians from the entry floor 4 or the exit floor 6, a shopping center, an office space, and the like.

FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the parking floor 14. Note that the elevator 9'and the delivery berth 12 at the bottom of the figure are on the delivery floor 6. In the figure, 16 is a power carriage for transporting a vehicle, and 18 is a parking pallet of the vehicle. And also provided two power rollers on the power truck 16 and the parking pallet 18,
The vehicle is moved between the power carriage 16 and the parking pallet 18 by the sliding motion of the power roller. Reference numeral 20 is a rail for moving the power truck, and the power truck 16 is self-propelled on the rail 20 by wheels not shown. The power carriage 16 has a motor (not shown). For example, the wheels are rotated by the motor by electric power from a power supply line provided separately from the rail 20, and travel on the rail 20. The power carriage 16 is controlled by receiving a control signal through a signal line (not shown).

FIG. 3 shows the elevators 9 and 9 ′ and the power roller 22 provided on the floor surface of the power carriage 16. In the embodiment, the vehicle movement between the incoming berth 11 or the outgoing berth 12 and the elevators 9 and 9 ′, the vehicle movement between the elevators 9 and 9 ′ and the power truck 16, the vehicle movement between the power truck 16 and the parking pallet 18, All are performed using the power roller 22. Although not particularly shown, similar power rollers are used for the incoming berth 11, outgoing berth 12, and parking pallet 18.
22 shall be provided. In this invention, the power roller
22 and belt conveyors are collectively called a conveyor. The power rollers 22 are power rollers and correspond to the front wheels and rear wheels of the vehicle, and are provided at two locations on the floor surface of the power carriage 16 and the elevators 9 and 9 '. These power rollers 22 slide and move the vehicle. Reference numeral 24 is a car stop for fixing the vehicle to the power carriage 16. Reference numeral 26 is a sensor such as an ultrasonic wave for detecting the movement of the vehicle, which is used to confirm that the movement of the vehicle has started and that the movement of the vehicle has ended. The power roller 22 is shown here as a sideslip power roller. This is to prevent vertical slippage of the vehicle with respect to the power roller 22.
Of course, a vertical sliding power roller may be used so that the vehicle is moved in the vertical direction of the vehicle by the power roller. Further, instead of providing the two power rollers corresponding to the front wheels and the rear wheels of the vehicle, a single long power roller may be used to correspond to both the front wheels and the rear wheels.

28 is a motor for driving the power roller 22, 30 is a motor for self-propelling the power carriage 16, and 32 is a control circuit for the power carriage 16, which is controlled by a signal from a computer 23 for centralized control. Elevator 9,9 'and parking pallet 1
8, or the incoming berth 11 and the outgoing berth 12 are provided with similar control circuits.

In addition to this, the power truck and the signal line to the computer 23 for centralized control, sensors for the position, speed, acceleration, etc. of the truck 16 are used to drive the power truck 16. These are shown in Figure 4,
This will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 shows the arrangement of the power truck 16 and the parking pallet 18. Each parking pallet 18 is provided with a power roller 22 similar to that provided in the power cart 16. Then, the motor 28 rotates the power roller 22 to move the vehicle, and the sensor 26 confirms the movement of the vehicle. Also, the parking pallet 18 is on the floor
It should be fixed to 14. These points are the receiving berth 11
The same is true for the delivery berth 12. 34 is the parking floor
The power line installed on the floor of 14 will be the power source of the power truck 16. 36
Is a signal line to the central control computer 23.

FIG. 5 shows a side view of the power carriage 16. Reference numeral 40 is a wheel, which is driven by the power of the motor 30 on the rail 20 by itself, and the power roller 22 is rotated by the power of the motor 28. Further, 38 is a line of position sensors, which is used to confirm the position of the power carriage 16. In addition to this, the power vehicle 16 is provided with a speed sensor and an acceleration sensor so that the position, speed, and acceleration can be always checked.

The operation of the device will be described. The vehicle that has entered the warehousing floor 4 is self-propelled to the warehousing berth 11, and the occupant gets off there. Subsequent warehousing work is automatically performed, and the occupant may enter a shopping center or the like in the building through a passage (not shown). In the case of leaving the garage, the occupant may get in the vehicle in the berth 12 from the pedestrian passage 13 and self-propelled to leave the floor 6. In the embodiment, since there is no reversing operation of the vehicle direction, the vehicle entering the floor 4 exits to the floor 6 in the same direction. Therefore, floor 6
The vehicle's travel to does not require a turn. Further, if the warehousing floor 4 and the unloading floor 6 are separated, the flow of the vehicle is not congested and the flow of the vehicle is natural. Furthermore, if a pedestrian passage 13 is provided between them, the flow of people will be natural.

The vehicle stopped at the storage berth 11 is moved to the elevator 9 by the power roller 22. When the elevator 9 arrives at the parking floor 14, the vehicle is powered by the power roller 22 again.
Move to. Here, the warehousing of the vehicle to the warehousing berth 11 and the movement of the elevator 9 are simultaneously performed in parallel to shorten the waiting time. Further, the movement of the elevator 9 to the parking floor 14 and the movement of the power carriage 16 are simultaneously performed to shorten the time required for the movement of the vehicle.

Upon receipt of the vehicle, the power cart 16 runs on the rail 20 by the motor 30. By doing so, the traveling speed of the power carriage 16 can be extremely increased. For example, suppose that the power cart 16 is towed by a roller or a chain instead of the rail 20. Powered trolley for rollers and chains
16 cannot be towed at high speed. A roller having a small diameter cannot increase the speed of the power carriage 16, and a large diameter causes the power carriage 16 to vibrate significantly. Even if a chain or gear is used, it is difficult to move the power cart 16 at high speed. Therefore, the rail 20 is used to move the carriage 16 at high speed by self-propelling. In addition, since power equipment must be spread over the entire floor of the parking floor 14 such as rollers and chains, the equipment cost is high.

When the power truck 16 stops at a predetermined parking pallet 18 position, the power rollers 22 move the vehicle to the parking pallet 18. A position sensor, a speed sensor, and an acceleration sensor are used to control the movement of the carriage 16, and a computer 23 for centralized control is used.
Control with.

In addition to this, the inventor also considered fixing the vehicle to the pallet and moving the vehicle together with the pallet, instead of moving the vehicle by the roller. But this is Erebe
This causes unnecessary reciprocating motions of 9,9 'and the power carriage 16 to deteriorate the function of the multi-storey parking lot. Elevator 9 for example
Consider a case where the vehicle is transshipped from the power truck 16 to the power truck 16. If the elevators 9 and 9'and the power truck 16 do not share a pallet, the power truck 16 needs to receive the empty pallet at another position first in order to receive the vehicle. vice versa,
When the vehicle is moved from the power truck 16 to the elevator 9 ', the power truck 16 must return the empty pallet to the original position after the vehicle is moved so that the next vehicle cannot be unloaded. As a result, the power truck 16 has to transport an empty pallet each time the vehicle is transported, and the efficiency of the power truck 16 is reduced to 1/2.

Next, consider the case where the vehicle and the parking pallet are treated as a complete set. In this case, when moving the vehicle between the elevator 9 and the power truck 16, the vehicle is moved together with the pallet. In this case, in order to store the vehicle, first, the power truck 16 loads an empty pallet into the elevator 9, and then waits until the elevator 9 moves up and down to the storage floor 4, and then stores the vehicle. When carrying out the next warehousing, use the elevator 9
Must be installed on. In the case of unloading, when the vehicle is unloading, an empty pallet remains in the elevator 9 '. The elevator 9'will not be able to start the next shipping operation unless the empty pallet is returned to its original position by using the power carriage 16.

Therefore, if the pallet 18 is fixed to the parking floor 14 and only the vehicle is moved by the power roller 22, such a problem is solved.

If the power truck 16 is self-propelled on the rail 20 to increase the moving speed and the pallet is fixed to eliminate unnecessary reciprocating motion,
The speed at which vehicles enter and exit elevators 9 and 9'is a problem. This is because this work has to rely on the occupant's self-propelling, and is the slowest process. Therefore, in the embodiment, the receiving berth 11
The delivery berth 12 is separated from the elevators 9 and 9 ', and at the same time as the elevators 9 and 9'are moved up and down, it is possible to stop the vehicle at the entry berth 11 and to start the vehicle from the delivery berth 12.

FIG. 6 shows an operation mode of the embodiment, for example, when the vehicle is continuously loaded and unloaded. The process for loading and unloading the vehicle into and out of the vehicle is simple and is clear from the process for continuous loading and unloading, and is therefore omitted here.

FIG. 7 (A) shows the operation mode when all the operations are serially performed, and FIG. 7 (B) shows the operation mode when the elevator 9'is moved up and down and the power carriage 16 is moved in parallel. Although these figures show the unloading of vehicles as an example, the same applies when warehousing. Further, FIG. 8 shows an operation algorithm of the embodiment. In the symbols 2-1 and the like in FIG. 8, the leading 2 represents the number of the vehicle being processed, and the latter 1 represents each processing in the processing cycle.

Regarding the exit berth 12, process 0 refers to the movement of the vehicle by the power roller from the elevator 9 ', and process 1 refers to the self-propelling of the vehicle by the occupant.

Regarding the elevator 9 ', the process 1 is the movement of the elevator 9'to the parking floor 14, the process 2 is the exchange of vehicles with the power carriage 16 by the power rollers, and the process 3 is the elevator 9 to the exit floor 6. ′ Move. The process 4 is
It refers to the movement of the vehicle to the exit berth 12 using a power roller.

With respect to the parking floor 14, process 1 is for moving the power cart 16 to the parking pallet 18, process 2 is for exchanging the vehicle with the parking pallet using power rollers, and process 3 is for the front of the elevator 9 '. The movement of the power carriage 16 in step 4 means the transportation of the vehicle to the elevator 9'by power rollers.

It is assumed that the vehicle is requested to leave the vehicle continuously for a while. In the embodiment, at the same time that the exit berth 12 is vacant, the door of the elevator 9'which is on standby is opened, and the vehicle is sent from the elevator 9'to the exit berth 12 using the power roller 22.
This work is completed when the elevator 9'moves and the delivery berth
It takes place until the two conditions of 12 vacancies are met. The self-propelled delivery is the slowest work, and in many cases, the elevator 9'stands by on the delivery floor 6.
For this reason, the next vehicle will arrive at the same time as the previous vehicle has left. Further, in the embodiment, the vehicle may be self-propelled not by the inside of the narrow elevator 9 ', but by the outside berth 12 or the berth 11 of the outside. For this reason, there is little psychological pressure on the occupants, and the large space makes it easy to drive.

When the work of moving the vehicle by the power roller 22 is completed, the occupant gets in the vehicle and the vehicle exits. At the same time, the elevator 9'moves to the next parking floor. On the other hand, independently of this,
Each power trolley 16 moves the commanded vehicle to just before the elevator 9 '. That is, the power carriage 16 moves to the required parking pallet 18, the vehicle is mounted on the power carriage 16 from the parking pallet 18 by the power roller 22, and moves to the front of the elevator 9 '. And wait for the arrival of elevator 9 ',
Alternatively, when the power carriage 16 moves slowly, the elevator 9'waits for the power carriage 16 to arrive, and then the vehicle is moved by the power rollers 22. Elevator 9'elevation and power trolley here
Simultaneously move 16 moves.

After this, the elevator 9'moves to the exit floor 6, waits for the exit berth 12 to become empty, and sends out the vehicle. Of these tasks, it is the elevator,
There are two types of movement: vehicle movement between the berth 9'and the receiving berth 11 and leaving berth 12, and vehicle movement between the elevator 9,9 'and the power carriage. So there is an incoming berth 11, an outgoing berth 12, an elevator 9,
9 ', the operation of each element of the power carriage 16 may proceed at the same time, and the waiting time may be set according to the slow one.

Here, the processing time for loading and unloading will be examined. In the case of continuous loading and unloading, the slowest time is the entry and stop by the self-propelled normal entry berth 11, and the departure of the vehicle by the self-propelled entry from the exit berth 12. Therefore, at the same time that the preceding vehicle has been self-propelled to the incoming berth or has been self-propelled from the outgoing berth, the next vehicle can be processed. When moving in and out separately, since the elevator 9 is already waiting in the incoming berth 11, the vehicle is moved to the elevator 9 by the power roller at the same time as the self-propelled approach to the incoming berth is completed. When the elevators 9'are moved apart, at the same time as the elevator 9'moves to the parking floor 14, the power truck 16 '
Move the vehicle that needs to be in front of the elevator 9 '.
Therefore, the actual required time is only about the round trip time of the elevators 9 and 9 '.

The algorithm of FIG. 8 will be described. When receiving a request for entry / exit, elevator 9,9 ', entry berth 11, exit berth 1
2. Each element of the power truck 16 inputs a new command at the end of its respective queue. Then, each element performs processing from the head of its own queue, and when its own responsibility ends, the head of the queue is deleted and the processing of the next command in the queue is started. The speed and load of each element are uneven. The loading of incoming berth 11 and outgoing berth 12 is the highest,
The elevator 9,9 'is next, and the load of the power carriage 16 is low. Then, wait until the preparation of the delivery partner of the vehicle is completed (this is called alignment in FIG. 8),
Hand over the vehicle. If the alignment condition is not met, the element that completed the process first enters the waiting state. After passing, the finished element processes the next instruction. In addition, the elements that have not received the command (for example, the power truck 16 on the floor that has not received the loading / unloading command) enter the dormant state.

[Advantages of the Invention] According to the present invention, 1) the moving speed of the vehicle in the parking floor is increased, and 2) the loading berth and the loading berth are provided separately from the elevator, so that the vehicle does not have to move in and out by self-propelled. , 3) Separate the elevators for warehousing and elevators for unloading to improve the capability of the elevator, and 4) separate the berth for warehousing and the berth for unloading to facilitate the guidance of the vehicle and It is possible to prevent accidents such as collisions.
