DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rotating three-dimensional vehicle storage facility capable of efficiently storing many vehicles by utilizing a space in a three-dimensional manner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional vehicle storage facility, there is a known vehicle storage facility in which a drop-in line for leading a vehicle from a main line and a plurality of indwelling lines branching from the drop-in line are laid on a flat ground. Since the configuration requires a large site, it is difficult to install a vehicle storage facility in a city center or the like. Therefore, as a three-dimensional vehicle storage facility that uses space three-dimensionally,
A vehicle elevating device having a lift corresponding to each of a plurality of branch lines branching from an introduction line and a hangar having a plurality of storage floors arranged in front and rear (Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-38823), supporting a vehicle. A lift and a multi-layered vehicle storage beam disposed on both sides of the lift in a garage (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-321505), or a hangar in which a large number of storage units for storing vehicles are arranged vertically and horizontally. In addition, there has been proposed a device provided with a moving girder connecting the storage unit and the introduction line, and a moving device for moving the moving girder vertically and horizontally (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-94045).

[0003]

However, in a structure similar to a three-dimensional automatic warehouse in which a vehicle elevating device and a hangar are arranged in front and rear, a vehicle elevating device and a hangar are arranged in front and rear, so that the vehicle is not only located on the hangar site but also in the vehicle. The site of the lifting device is also needed,
Not only does the effective use area of the hangar become narrower, but a lift is required to lift vehicles up and down to the storage floor on each floor, which complicates the configuration, increases running costs, and requires complicated procedures for entering and exiting the warehouse. Is longer.

[0004] Further, in a configuration in which a lift and a vehicle storage beam are provided in a garage, the need for a lift is the same, and a mechanism for moving the vehicle from the lift to the storage beams on both sides thereof is separately provided. It is necessary, the structure becomes complicated, the cost increases, and the procedure of loading and unloading remains complicated.

Further, in the case where the moving girder connecting each storage unit of the hangar and the introduction line for introducing the vehicle is moved up, down, left and right by a moving device, the site of the moving girder is separate from the hangar. This not only reduces the effective use area of the hangar, but also increases the running cost due to the driving of the moving device.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and does not require a high-output driving device such as a lift. It is an object of the present invention to provide a rotating three-dimensional vehicle storage facility capable of storing.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention is a cylindrical outer frame and an outer frame.

[0009] Further, the invention of claim 3 is based on claim 2.
And the driving device has a pinion.
Meshes with an inner ring gear provided on the inner circumference of the housing.
This causes the roadbed to rotate.

[0010]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a plurality of storage bodies having a vehicle retaining line therein are arranged on a circumference, and the storage bodies are moved along the circumference. The vehicle can be moved by a driving device with a small output that only applies a rotational force to the vehicle. In addition, since the housing itself rotates, the three-dimensional storage can be performed without separately requiring a large site area for moving means in addition to the site area for storage means. In addition, since a desired storage body can be sequentially connected to an external entrance / exit line by moving the storage body, storage / exit can be performed by a simple operation of only rotation. Furthermore, even if the storage body rotates, the internal control line always keeps the horizontal attitude without falling down by the attitude control means. Therefore, a large output drive device such as a lift is not required, and a large number of vehicles can be stored three-dimensionally and in a simple procedure by effectively using the site area. Moreover, the housing is an outer frame and a center pipe.
Because it is held between, the support of the storage body can be strengthened
This has the effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view of a rotary three-dimensional vehicle storage facility showing one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of FIG. Although this embodiment is an example in which the vehicle is a train, the present invention can be similarly applied to vehicles other than the train.

As shown in FIG. 1, two entry / exit lines 2 are laid on a site 1, and a pit-shaped recess 3 is provided on the extension side of the entry / exit lines 2. This recess 3
If the entry / exit line 2 is set sufficiently higher than the site 1,
It is not necessary to form.

The outer frame 4 is composed of two cylindrical members having a short axial length, which are arranged apart from each other in the axial direction, and the lower end of which is partially submerged in the recess 3 so as to be horizontal. It is provided concentrically on the upper side and is rotatably supported by a pair of receiving rollers 5 arranged facing each other in the recess 3. Between the pair of outer frames 4, a plurality of parallel (in this example, six) outer and front ends are inserted into the outer frame 4, respectively.
Are arranged at equal intervals on the circumference. The housing 6 is a cylindrical body, which is held between a cylindrical center pipe 7 provided at the center thereof and the outer frame 4.

As shown in FIG. 2, a sub-floor 8, a power supply line 20, and the like are provided inside each of the housings 6.
The roadbed 8 has a main body 8a provided on the upper surface with a retaining line 9 for allowing the two vehicles W to stay on the left and right, and a roller receiving portion 8b formed in a half-moon shape below the main body 8a, It is relatively rotatably mounted on the inner surface of the housing 6 via a number of roller members 10 provided between the roller receiving portion 8b and the housing 6. The roller receiving portion 8b and the roller member 10 may be formed at several places in the longitudinal direction of the housing 6. In addition, two auxiliary frames 11 (only one is shown) are attached to two locations at the intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the storage body 6 shown in FIG. These auxiliary frames 11 receive the receiving roller 5
And rotatably supported to control the bending of the storage body 6 and stabilize the rotational drive.

The driving means A for the outer frame 4 includes an outer ring gear 12 attached to the outer periphery of the outer frame 4 and an outer pinion 13 meshing with the outer ring gear 12 for driving the same.
A motor 14 with a speed reducer for rotating the pinion 13
It has. As a result, the storage body 6 is driven to rotate integrally with the outer frame 4, whereby the desired storage line 9 of the storage body 6 can be connected to the entry / exit line 2. At the time of rotation, the detention line 9 is required to be always horizontal to prevent the vehicle W from tilting, so the following attitude control means B is configured.

As shown in FIG. 2, the attitude control means B includes, in addition to the roller member 10, a driving device 15 for rotating the roadbed 8,
A controller 17 for holding the roadbed 8 horizontally. The driving device 15 includes an inner pinion 16, and the inner pinion 16 meshes with an inner ring gear 18 provided on the inner periphery of the housing 6 to rotate the housing 6 in a desired direction. At that time, the controller 17 detects the rotation speed and the rotation amount of the motor 14 and controls the driving device 15 in conjunction with the movement of the storage body 6 due to the rotation of the outer frame 4 described above, so that the roadbed 8 is constantly controlled. Hold horizontally.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. In FIG. 1, when the vehicle W is preparing for entry on the entry / exit line 2, the outer ring 4 is driven by the outer pinion 13 to rotate the outer frame 4, thereby rotating together with the outer frame 4. By making the empty storage unit 6 of the storage units 6 correspond to the lowest entry / exit position, the retention line 9 is matched with the entry / exit line 2. At this time, since the empty storage body 6 always keeps the horizontal state of the subgrade 8 inside, the storage line 9 surely matches the entrance / exit line 2, and if the vehicle W is advanced in this state, the storage state is reduced. The vehicle W is detained on the detention line 9 in the body 6. In order to take out the parked vehicle W, the outer frame 4 is driven to rotate so that the storage body 6 in which the vehicle W is parked matches the entrance / exit line 2.

As described above, the vehicle can be moved by the small-output motor 14 that only applies a rotational force to the plurality of storage bodies 6 arranged on the circumference, so that a large-output drive such as a lift can be performed. No equipment is required and running costs are reduced. In addition, since the storage body 6 itself rotates, there is no need for a separate site area for moving means in addition to the site area for storage means, that is, three-dimensional storage is possible by effectively using the site area. Becomes In addition, since the desired storage unit 6 can be sequentially connected to the external entrance / exit line 2 by moving the storage unit 6, storage / exit can be performed by a simple operation of only rotation.

Further, even if the storage body 6 rotates, the internal retaining line 9 always maintains a horizontal posture, so that the vehicle can be maintained in a normal storage state in which the vehicle is not tilted with a simple structure, and automatically. The system can be stored and taken out freely.

Further, since the housing 6 is mounted on the outer frame 4, the plurality of housings 6 are integrated by the outer frame 4, so that the rotation of the housing 6 is stably and reliably performed. Also, since the storage body 6 is supported between the outer frame 4 and the center pipe 7,
The housing 6 is supported firmly.

Further, the attitude control means B includes a roller member 1
0, the drive unit 15, the pinion 16 and the controller 17, the roadbed 8 can be held horizontally with a simple structure and reliable and smooth operation.

In the above embodiment, the outer frame 4 is provided. However, the outer frame 4 may not be provided and only the storage body 6 may be provided. In this case, for example, it is possible to rotate the center pipe 7 to move the storage body 6 on the circumference. Further, the storage body 6 may be provided with only one or three or more indwelling lines 9.
