In the parking facility according to claim (3), the turning means provided at a fixed position of the parking unit receives the pallet from the pallet support rail stopped at the parking unit to the pallet support,
By turning the pallet support table by the operation of the turning drive means, the direction of the vehicle is changed, so that it is not necessary to provide the lift with the turning means.

(Effects of the Invention) Therefore, according to the invention of claim (1), a space for the pallet turning is provided in the lift of the lift, where the position adjacent to the lift in the circulating transfer path of the parking section is an empty seat without a pallet. Since the turning means for turning the pallet is provided in a state where the pallet is secured in the parking section, the direction of the vehicle can be changed on the lift on the side of the parking section. It is no longer necessary to secure space for this, and the space occupied by the entrance / exit area is narrowed, making it possible to effectively use the space around it, and the need for a large turntable is eliminated. I can do it.

According to the invention of claim (2), the pallet support rail and the turning means can be moved up and down relatively on the lift so that only the pallet can be turned. Can always be positioned in the same direction as the fixed rail of the circulation transfer path,
This makes it possible to easily connect to this fixed rail, and when using a chain for the lift, there is no need to turn the support rail, so there is no problem of interference with the chain. Since it is independent, the structure can be simplified, and the turning means does not need to turn the support rail, so that the burden is reduced and the load bearing is advantageous in terms of load resistance.

Next, according to the invention of claim (3), since the turning means is provided at a fixed position of the parking portion and is independent of the lift, the structure of the lift is simplified and the lift does not need to support the turning means. Accordingly, the burden is reduced, which is advantageous in terms of load resistance.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Embodiment 1> This embodiment is one in which the invention of claim (1) is applied to a multi-layer horizontal circulation type parking facility, and is shown in FIG. 1 to FIG.

FIG. 1 (schematic plan view) shows a horizontal circulating transfer path 1 of this parking facility. That is, this circulation transfer path 1
Is arranged so that a plurality of pallets 2 for mounting on a vehicle can be arranged in two rows, and each row is provided with traversing means 3, 3 for the pallets 2, and pallets 2 are provided at both ends of each row.
The pallet 2 is circulated using empty spaces S, S provided at diagonal positions. Reference numeral 5 denotes a hoistway of the pallet 2 by a lift described later, which is attached to one end of one row. This embodiment is a multi-layer circulating parking facility, and as shown in FIG. 2, the circulating transfer path 1 is provided in two upper and lower layers.

That is, in FIG. 2, the circulation transfer paths 1, 1 are provided in a parking section 6 on the basement floor of the building, and are located above the parking section 6 at the position of the hoistway 5, that is, in FIG. As shown in FIG. The parking section 6 and the entry / exit section 7 communicate with each other through a pallet insertion port 8 opened on the first floor, and the parking section 6 and the entry / exit section 7 are lifted at the position of the pallet insertion port 8. Has been contacted.

Further, each pallet 2 is provided with an L-shaped and an inverted L-shaped, that is, a male-female connector on both sides thereof, and the pallets 2, 2 adjacent in the lateral feed direction are connected by this connector. And can be separated in the vertical feed direction. As the lateral feed means 3, a screw feed means (not shown) for feeding the pallet 2 by engaging the pallet 2 with a screw rod arranged in the lateral feed direction is employed. On the other hand, a chain conveyor (not shown) is employed as the vertical feeding means 4.

The lift 9 utilizes a chain 13 which is suspended around an upper sprocket 11 disposed near the pallet fitting inlet 8 and a lower sprocket 12 disposed below the lower circulation transfer path 1. In other words, the hoistway 5 has the fourth
4 corresponding to the four corners of the rectangular pallet 1 as shown in the figure.
A column 14 of the book is erected. Then, the above-mentioned sprocket is mounted on upper and lower shafts 15, 16 which are installed on two adjacent columns 14, 14, respectively.
11 and 12 are installed in pairs. Therefore, four chains 13 are provided corresponding to the four columns 14. In this case, reduction gears 17, 17 are directly connected to the lower shafts 16, 16, and a drive motor 18 is connected to the reduction gears 17, 17 via transmission shafts 19, 19.

Thus, the four chains 13 support an elevating body that supports the pallet 2 and moves up and down. The elevating body includes a rectangular elevating platform 21 in which four corners are connected to four chains 13, and the elevating platform 21 supports a turning means 22 for supporting and rotating the pallet 2. The turning means 22 includes a support table 22a for supporting the pallet 2 and an elevating table
And a driving means 22b for rotating the motor 21 around a vertical axis. And this turning means 22 is a lifting platform
The screw-type moving means (not shown) is moved by a predetermined distance 1 from the center O of the elevating platform 21 to the circulation transfer path 1 side.
It is made to be able to move by.

 Next, the operation of the parking facility will be described.

In order to enter the warehouse, first, the empty pallet 2 is raised by being supported by the turning means 22 of the lift 9, and fitted into the fitting entrance 8 of the warehouse 7. Thereby, the driver can move the vehicle A forward on the empty pallet 2.
After the vehicle A is mounted on the pallet 2, the lift 9
Is moved downward, for example, to position the support table 22a of the turning means 22 at the transfer position to the upper circulation transfer path 1, that is, at the height of the circulation transfer path 1. At this time, the pallet 2 of the support base 22a is connected to the pallet 2 located at the end of the circulation transfer path 1 by the connecting tool on the side surface. Then, the pallet 2 that has been stored is laterally fed together with the other pallets 2 by the operation of the lateral feeding means 2 and drawn into the circulation transfer path 1.

When entering the lower circulation transfer path 1, the turning means
This is the same as the case of the upper layer, except that the positioning height of the support base 22a of 22 is different.

At the time of unloading, first, the pallet 2 on which the target vehicle A is mounted is moved adjacent to the hoistway 5 by activating the horizontal feed means 3 or the vertical feed means 4 to circulate each pallet 2 of the circulation transfer path 1. Send to location. Then, the target pallet 2 is moved by the lateral feeding means 3 to the support base 22a of the turning means 22 positioned at the delivery position.

Next, the pallet 2 of the turning means 22 is slightly lifted by the lifting operation of the lift 9, and the pallet 2 and the circulating transfer path 1 are moved.
After the pallet 2 is disconnected from the pallet 2, the horizontal feeding means 3 or the vertical feeding means 4 is operated to set the position adjacent to the hoistway 5 in the circulating transfer path 1 to an empty seat portion without the pallet 2. The formation of the vacant portion is for securing a space for turning the pallet.

Then, the swiveling means 22 is moved by the moving means on the elevating table 21 toward the circulation transfer path 1 by a predetermined distance 1, and the pallet 2 is moved.
The vehicle A turns by 180 degrees to change direction. In this case, the movement of the predetermined distance l is performed within a range that does not interfere with the pallet 2 of the circulation transfer path 1 or the vehicle A in a 90-degree turning state as shown in FIGS. Thereby, compared with the case where the above-mentioned movement is not performed, the circulation transfer path 1
The wall 23 of the building on the opposite side can be brought closer to the hoistway 5 side without causing interference with the swiveling pallet 2,
As a result, the space required for the parking unit 6 can be reduced.

Then, after the completion of the above-mentioned direction change, the lift 9 is raised and the pallet 2 is fitted into the fitting entrance 8 of the loading / unloading section 7. Thus, the driver can move the vehicle A forward without turning, and leave the vehicle A from the entrance / exit unit 7 onto the road.

Incidentally, with respect to the movement of the predetermined distance l, when the pallet 2 on the turning means 22 is connected to the pallet 2 of the circulation transfer path 1 at the time of storage, the turning means 22 is moved to the wall 23 side in reverse.

In addition, the direction change of the vehicle A may be performed in the parking unit 6 at the time of entry, not at the time of exit.

Therefore, according to the parking facility, the vehicle A
Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a large turning means such as a turntable in the loading / unloading section 7, and the space required for the loading / unloading section 7 can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. I can do it.

<Embodiment 2> This embodiment is one in which the invention of claim (2) is applied to a vertical circulation type parking facility, and is shown in FIGS.

That is, in the parking equipment of this example, a vertical circulating transfer path 32 is provided in the parking section 31 by connecting both ends of the upper and lower two-layer horizontal transfer section with the upper and lower transfer sections. A storage section 34 is provided above the vehicle through a pallet fitting entrance 33, and the parking section 31 and the storage section 34 are connected by a lift 35.

The circulating transfer path 32 is provided with fixed rails 36, 36 at intervals in the lift 35 at the upper horizontal transfer section, and fixed rails 36 over the entire length of the lower horizontal transfer section.
36 is provided, and furthermore, a movable rail 37 that moves up and down is provided at the vertical transfer section on both sides thereof. That is, the upper horizontal transfer section is provided with independent horizontal feed means 38, 38 on both sides of the lift 35, and the lower horizontal transfer section is provided with one horizontal feed means 38, each of which has a fixed rail 36 The pallet 2 having wheels engaged therewith is laterally fed. On the other hand, the vertical transfer unit is provided with vertical feed means 41, 41. As shown in FIG. 7, this vertical feed means 41 has a sprocket 45 attached to upper and lower shafts 43 and 44 provided on four columns 42 in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and a chain 46 is suspended. The movable rail 37 is connected to the chain 46. The drive mechanism of the chain 46 is the same as that of the lift 9 of the first embodiment, and is not shown.

When circulating the pallet 2,
The movable rail 37 of the vertical transfer section is connected to the fixed rail 36 of the horizontal transfer section, and the support rail 57 of the lift described later is connected to the fixed rails 36, 36 of the upper horizontal transfer section. 38 will be activated. In the case of vertical feed, the movable rail 37 is moved between the upper and lower horizontal transfer units by the operation of the vertical feed means 41.

The lift 35 is similar to the lift 9 of the first embodiment, in which a sprocket 54 is attached to upper and lower shafts 52, 53 provided on four columns 51, and a chain 55 is suspended. A pair of support rails 57, 57 for supporting the pallet 2 and a turning means 58 for turning the pallet 2 are provided on the lift 56. Turning means 58
Is a support table 58a for supporting the pallet 2;
And a driving means 58b for rotating the rotating shaft 56 about a vertical axis with respect to the elevating table 56. And the above support rail 5
7 and the turning means 58 are relatively vertically movable on the elevating table 56.

That is, in the case of this example, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the support rail 57 is moved up and down on the elevating table 56 by the guide means 59 which opposes the pair of flat plates provided in the transverse direction. It is made free to move. At both ends of the support rail 57, engagement portions 57a projecting in the longitudinal direction are provided, and the engagement portions 57a are engaged from above with the step portions 36a at the ends of the fixed rails 36, 36 of the upper horizontal transfer portion. I can do it. On the other hand, the turning means 58 is provided fixed to the lift 56, and when the support rail 57 is at the lower end position of the guide means 59, that is, when it is in contact with the upper surface of the lift 56, the turning means 58 It is set to be lower than the support 58a.

Therefore, as the elevator 56 is lowered, the support rail 57
Engages with and rides on the fixed rail 36 of the upper horizontal transfer section, and stops descending. However, the turning means 58 can further descend together with the elevator 56. On the other hand, as the elevator 56 is raised, the support rail 57 remains on the fixed rail 36, and only the turning means 58 rises to project the upper end of the support 58a onto the support rail 57. Will be.

 Next, the operation of the parking facility will be described.

At the time of warehousing, the pallet fitting entrance is the same as in the first embodiment.
The vehicle A is mounted on the empty pallet 2 fitted in 33, and the lowering operation of the lift 35 engages and connects the support rail 57 of the elevating platform 56 to the fixed rails 36, 36 of the upper horizontal transfer section, thereby connecting the lateral feed means 38. The pallet 2 moves the stored vehicle A by the operation of
At the same time, it is transferred to the fixed rail 36, that is, to the circulation transfer path 32.

In this case, the pallet 2 rides on the support 58a of the turning means 58 during the lowering, but when the support rail 57 is connected to the fixed rail 36, the turning means 58 is lowered by the lowering of the lift 56. Since the support rails 57 are relatively raised, the pallet 2 moves onto the support rails 57. In the circulating transfer of the pallet 2, the support rail 57 of the lift 35 is kept connected to the fixed rail 36, and is used for the circulating transfer.

When leaving the pallet, the pallet 2 on which the target vehicle A is mounted is transferred onto the lift support rail 57 by the above-described circulating transfer. Then, by raising the elevator 56, the turning means 58 is raised as shown in FIG. 11, and the vehicle A to be taken out of the pallet 2 together with the pallet 2 is moved from the supporting rail 57 to the turning means 58.
On the support base 58a. Then, at that time, the pallet 2 at the upper end position of the upper and lower transfer units is lowered, and the two lateral feeding means 38, 38 of the upper horizontal transfer unit are operated to make both sides of the lift 35 empty. By
Secure pallet turning space. Thereafter, the pallet 2 is turned by the operation of the turning means 58 to change the direction of the vehicle A. Then, the elevator 35 is raised by the lift 35, and the pallet 2 is inserted into the insertion port 33.
The vehicle A is taken out of the pallet 2.

Therefore, in the case of the present embodiment, the pallet 2
Since the pallet 2 can be turned only while the pallet 2 is turned from the support rail 57 to the turning means 58, and the direction of the support rail 57 of the lift 35 does not need to be changed, the support rail 57 is always fixed to the fixed rail 36 of the circulation transfer path. It can be positioned in the same direction as.

In the present embodiment, the turning means 58 is fixed to the elevating platform 56 so that the support rail 57 can be moved up and down.However, the supporting rail can be fixed and the turning means can be moved up and down with a jack or the like. Good.

<Embodiment 3> This embodiment is one in which the invention of claim (3) is applied to a vertical circulation type parking facility, and is shown in FIG. 12 to FIG.

That is, in the parking facility of the present example, a vertical circulating transfer path 62 is provided in the parking unit 61, in which one end of the upper and lower two-layer horizontal transfer unit is connected to the upper and lower transfer unit and the other end is connected to the lift 65,
