Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a parking lot or an article storage system for articles placed on a car or a trolley, and collects and distributes cargo in an automatic warehouse without using a crane or a lift, and trucks. The present invention can also be applied to a truck moving device, a waste storage system, and the like in a terminal that operates.

[Conventional technology]

9 and 10 show an outline of a conventional parking facility. Ninth
The figure shows a conventional general parking lot 100, in which a car enters through an entrance 101 and passes through a passage 104 to park at each parking place.

FIG. 10 is an example of a multi-story parking garage 110, in which a car 116 entering for parking parks and rides on a car gondola 111 when it is on the ground. The gondola 111 is attached to a chain 112 connected to a chain bracket 117 driven by a motor 113 via a power transmission mechanism 114.
A plurality of gondola 111 is attached to the chain 112, and when the chain bracket 117 is rotated, the gondola 111 moves one after another, so that many cars are stored three-dimensionally in a narrow place like a parking vehicle 115. Is possible.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In the method of FIG. 9 showing an example of a conventional flat parking lot, a passage to an entrance and an entrance other than a space where a car is parked,
Since a space for opening a door is necessary for a driver or a passenger to get on and off, the number of vehicles that can be parked is smaller than the area of a parking lot. In addition, the cars come into contact accidentally while driving,
There is a risk of damaging the car. Furthermore, the upper part (ceiling) of the parking space needs to be high enough for a driver or the like to walk.

In the system shown in FIG. 10 showing an example of a conventional multi-story parking lot, many cars can be parked on a small land, but the equipment becomes large and a large space in the height direction is required. Further, since another vehicle passes over the parked vehicle, there is a possibility that mud, rainwater, etc. may fall and contaminate the other vehicle. In order to take out the car at the top, it is necessary to turn the whole car greatly, and there is a problem that taking in and out of the car may take time.

[Means for solving the problem]

Place the car you want to park on a pallet that is only slightly larger than its length and width. A self-propelled conveyor having a lifting device (jack) and having a moving function is entered under the pallet, and the pallet is jacked up and moved by the conveyor. Although the transfer function of the transporter can be performed by a steering system like an automobile, a device capable of moving in all directions (one that can freely move back and forth, left and right, and turns) has a higher function.

[Action]

As shown in FIG. 1, the pallet 30 functions to carry a car 40, and the transporter 10 can lift and move the pallet 30 by the jack 15. Further, the pallet 30 can be placed at an appropriate position. The conveyor 10 is a pallet 30
It has a height and size that can run under the, and it is possible to move even if the pallets 40 are placed side by side. The transporter 10 travels without using rails, and the power source is loaded by itself.

The car is on a larger palette than the car and does not come into contact with other cars. The driver only has to drive the car up to the pallet 30, and the other movements are performed by the transporter 10. The number of the transporters 10 may be smaller than the number of the pallets 30, and no equipment such as a moving rail is required. Since the pallets can be moved in any direction by the transporter, the pallets can be arranged at a high density without taking a passage or a space for getting on and off the vehicle in consideration of a turning radius of a car as in a flat parking lot.

〔Example〕

1 to 8, 8 is a ground control device, 10 is a transporter that can travel in all directions, 11 is a battery, 12 is an on-board control device, 13 is an omnidirectional moving mechanism, 14 is running wheels, 15 Is a jack provided on the transfer machine, 16 is a cylinder, 17 is a cylinder driving device, 18 is an antenna, 19 is a guidance sensor, 20 is a parking lot,
21 is an entrance, 22 is an exit, 26 is an empty space, 30 is a pallet with legs, 31 is an upper plate, 32 is a leg of a pallet, 40 is a car, 41 is a manual operation device, 42 is an operator, and 43 is a low ceiling. .

The procedure for moving a car in the system of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the car 40 to be parked moves and rides on the legged pallet 30. Next, the transporter 10 travels with the jack 15 lowered and approaches the pallet 30 (FIG. 1 (a)). The transporter 10 stops immediately below the pallet 30, the pallet 30 is lifted by the jack 15, the vehicle is moved to a predetermined position, the pallet 30 is lowered again, and the transporter 10 prepares for the next movement (FIG. 1 (b)). ).

FIG. 2 shows an example of a parking lot using the pallet and the conveyor of FIG. Vehicles entering through the entrance 21 are parked on the pallet, and there is no need for an operator to move through the parking lot 20. In addition, getting on and off the car may be performed at the entrance 21 or at the end of the parking lot 20, there is no need to have a space where the door opens on the left and right of the parked car 40, and the distance between the cars is significantly reduced compared to the conventional car I can do it. To move the car, the pallet 30 is placed on the transfer machine 10 as shown in FIG. If there are many pallets 30 and it is not possible to move directly to the destination, move the other pallets 30 to the empty space 26, and then move another pallet 30 to the empty space again and repeat the operation. It becomes possible.

The more vacant spaces 26 and the more transporters 10, the easier the pallet 30 can be moved.However, these numbers are based on the frequency of car entry and exit, the number of cars to park, the allowable time for car entry and exit, It can be arbitrarily selected depending on the cost. However, at least one empty space 26 and at least one transporter 10 are required.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, if all the central rows are vacant spaces 26, the number of parked cars is reduced, but it is easy to put vehicles in and out. Second
The figure has the same accommodation area as FIG. 9, but 14 cars can be parked in FIG. 2 as compared with the eight cars in FIG.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the configuration of the transporter 10 that can move in all directions. A battery 11 is mounted as a power source of the transfer device 10. The operation command is issued wirelessly from outside, and the antenna 18
From the control device 12. The cylinder driving device 17 operates according to a command from the control device 12 to control the hydraulic pressure, and the cylinder 16
The four jacks 15 go up and down. The traveling command of the control device 12 is also sent to the four omnidirectional moving mechanisms 13. The omnidirectional moving mechanism 13 can independently control the direction, traveling distance, and speed of the traveling wheel 14, and can move and turn the transporting machine 10 in parallel.

For guidance for self-positioning and traveling in a parking lot, for example, an induction sensor 19 that detects a mark or tape on the ground by light or magnetism is used.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the configuration of a legged pallet. The legged pallet 30 is composed of a flat upper plate 31 and four legs 32, and the car 40 rides on the upper plate 31. The length and width of the upper plate 31 are slightly larger than the maximum dimensions of the car 40 to park,
The car will not be damaged if the pallets come into contact. leg
The interval of 32 and the height of the upper plate 31 are such that the transporter 10 can enter under both the legs 32 in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction, and the legs 32 are separated from the ground by the jack-up of the transporter 10. Is the way.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the control system hardware. The movement command given to the ground-side control device 8 is wirelessly sent to the control device 12 on the vehicle. The movement command is given automatically or manually from a computer, an operator, or the like.

FIGS. 7A and 7B show an example of manual operation. The vehicle 40 on the pallet 30 can be moved by the transfer device 10 by wireless control by the operation of a manual operation device 41 performed by an operator 42.

FIGS. 8A and 8B show another practical example of the present system. As in FIG. 7, the vehicle 40 on the pallet 30 is moved by the manual operation device 41 by the transporter 10. Even in a parking lot with a low ceiling 43, the driver (operator) 42 can get out of the car and guide from the outside at a place with a high ceiling, so that it is possible to effectively use even a space that is not normally a parking lot.

〔The invention's effect〕

A parking lot system according to the present invention comprises a pallet with legs for mounting a car or the like, a transporter capable of lifting and transporting the pallet with legs, traveling in all directions, and accommodating a plurality of the pallets and having the same floor on the floor of an entrance. A parking space having the same height as the upper plate surface of the vehicle, and providing an empty space for at least one pallet in the parking space,
The following effects are obtained by arranging more than one table.

(1) The number of parked vehicles can be increased with simple equipment (large equipment, rails, and other equipment are not required).

(2) It is possible to use the system according to the number of vehicles, putting in / out time, equipment costs, etc., and flexible operation is possible.

(3) There is no danger of contact between cars.

(4) The dirt of the upper car does not adhere to the lower part as in a multi-story parking lot.

(5) Automatic control by computer and simple control by manual are possible.

(6) A pallet requiring facilities for the number of parked vehicles is a simple and inexpensive structure, and the number of control devices and transporters having movable parts may be small, so that an inexpensive system configuration is possible.

(7) In the event of a failure of the transporter, the car can run on the pallet, so there is no danger that it is impossible to put the car in and out of a multilevel parking lot.

(8) Since the vehicle can be moved from the place where the driver gets on and off to the place where it is parked, a place where it is difficult for people to get on and off can be effectively used as a parking lot.
