2. Description of the Related Art A tower-shaped multi-story parking device in which parking spaces are formed in upper and lower stages is known as a device that can park a large number of vehicles on a small land.

Such a multi-story parking device is used for independent parking business, as a parking facility for employees of a company, as a parking facility for hotel guests, etc., and there is a slight difference in usage form. However, there is no difference in receiving a large number of vehicles and storing them for a certain period of time.

On the other hand, a multi-story parking device, which is a device for handling unmanned vehicles, inevitably has a mechanical vehicle transport mechanism, and also receives a vehicle from outside and sends it to a parking position from a home position. The vehicle has a transport path continuously formed in the space, and the parked vehicle is transported to each parking space via the vehicle transport mechanism. That is, the stored vehicle is in a state where it can be moved to an arbitrary location during the parking time if it is on the transport route of the vehicle.

[0005]

According to the above prior art, the multi-story parking device is considered as a device dedicated to parking regardless of the type of use. In addition, inside the parking device,
Although the vehicle can be freely moved by the vehicle transport mechanism, the stored vehicle is merely stored.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic car washing device at a fixed position on a vehicle transport path in a parking structure, and to sequentially move checked vehicles to this position via a vehicle transport mechanism. Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-story parking device with an automatic car washing device capable of performing a car washing operation by effectively utilizing a parking time.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the construction of the present invention is such that a transport path of a vehicle is formed between a parking space formed in multiple stages and a home position via an elevator device. In a multi-story parking device,
The gist of the present invention is to provide an automatic car washing device and a waterproof partition wall that opens and closes at least a side where the transport path is continuous at the end of the transport path of the vehicle.

[0008] The carriage of the elevator device may be retracted outside the waterproof partition during operation of the automatic car wash device.

[0009]

In this configuration, since the automatic car washer is installed at the end of the transport path of the vehicle, the vehicle is stored in the arbitrary parking space directly or once from the home position by the elevator device. Later, at an arbitrary time, it is taken out and transported to the installation position of the automatic car washing apparatus, and the automatic car washing apparatus can perform car washing on the transported vehicle without human intervention.

[0010] The waterproof bulkhead is located at the end of the transport path.
By blocking the transport path, a car wash room is formed, and scattering of detergents and the like during car wash can be prevented.
Carrying in and out of the car wash room is performed by opening and closing the waterproof partition.

When the carriage is retracted out of the waterproof partition during operation of the automatic car washing apparatus, the carriage can freely move back and forth along the remaining transport path. Can be.

The multi-story parking device with an automatic car washing device is provided with two automatic car washing devices 20, 20 at a home position H provided on the first floor of the parking structure 10 (FIGS. 1 and 2). .

The parking structure 10 is a steel-framed tower-like structure which occupies a substantially square site and is built on a high level on the ground side. In addition, the basic frames 11, 1 of the parking structure 10
1 is assembled so as to be located only on the outer peripheral portion of the parking structure 10, and the four circumferences of the basic frames 11, 11 are surrounded by an outer wall member (not shown).

Concrete is cast on the ground level GL to form the floor 12 at the home position H. On the floor surface 12, a low floor portion 12a for supporting the pallet P for transporting the vehicle at the floor surface level and supporting the pallet P, and a pit 12b for stopping the carriage 31 of the elevator device 30 at the floor surface level are formed. Have been. However,
The low floor portion 12a is formed toward the approach direction IN of the vehicle, while the pit 12b is arranged in a direction orthogonal to the low floor portion 12a.

The parking spaces S, S...
Are provided in two or more floors above and below in multiple levels. 2
A pair of parking shelves 13, 13 are arranged on opposite floors of the parking structure 10 on both sides of the parking structure 10 in opposite positions, and the middle part is open. On each of the parking shelves 13, a pallet P for loading vehicles is detachably mounted. The pallet P is placed on the parking shelf 13 so as to slide via a roller rail, is removed by being pulled out to the center side of the parking structure 10, and is inserted from the center side. You can put on. In addition,
Each parking shelf 13 has a direction perpendicular to the approach direction IN of the vehicle,

The lateral feeder includes a pair of roller rails that support the pallet P horizontally movable in the width direction of the vehicle-mounted frame 31a of the carriage 31, and a bidirectional horizontal drive that drives both longitudinal ends of the pallet P along the roller rails. And is incorporated at substantially the same level as the vehicle-mounted frame 31a. Such a traverse device can transfer a pallet P between the parking shelves 13 and 13 on each floor and the carriage 31. Therefore, all the movable paths of the pallet P due to the vertical movement of the carriage 31 and the horizontal movement of the traverse device are transport paths of the vehicle in the parking structure 10.

On the other hand, the turn device 33 includes the carriage 31
Is attached to a bottom frame 31b provided at the bottom of the camera. The bottom frame 31b is located at the center of the carriage 31, and the turn device 33 is supported at a lower level than the vehicle-mounted frame 31a via the lifter 32. In addition. When the carriage 31 stops at the home position H, the bottom frame 31b is stored in the pit 12b. The turn device 33 pushes the pallet P on the vehicle-mounted frame 31a upward by the extension operation of the lifter 32, and can turn the direction of the pallet P in the traveling direction IN of the vehicle by the rotation operation of the turn device 33.

At the home position H, a pair of waterproof partitions 23, 23 are installed on both sides of the pit 12b, and the automatic car washing devices 20, 20 are installed in opposite positions via the respective waterproof partitions 23.

Each of the waterproof partition walls 23 is a box-like body having an inner side and an open bottom side.
Can be integrated with each other in a watertight manner (FIG. 3), and can be moved away from each other and separated from each other so that the carriage 31 can move up and down (FIG. 2).
In addition, door plates 23d, 23d are attached to one waterproof partition wall 23 provided on the approach direction IN side of the vehicle, and can be opened in both directions (FIG. 1).

Therefore, by the combination of the waterproof partition walls 23, 23, the pair of nozzle arrangement members 22, 22 can have a gate-shaped arrangement as a whole. A plurality of detergent jet nozzles, water jet nozzles, and air jet nozzles are arranged on the inner surface of each nozzle disposing member 22 according to the posture of each part, and high-pressure detergent, water, and air A jet stream can be selectively generated.

Such a multi-story parking device with an automatic car washing device can be used either when the vehicle enters the vehicle immediately at the home position H, or when the vehicle once stored in any of the parking spaces S is not used in the home position H. By transporting the vehicle to the home position H via the carriage 31 during the time period of, the car wash operation for the parked vehicle can be performed.

When the incoming vehicle is immediately washed at the home position H, the vehicle enters from the approach direction IN side (FIGS. 1 and 2).
d and 23d are opened to guide the vehicle to the center position of the home position H. However, at this time, the carriage 31 receives the pallet P from the empty parking space S and descends,
It is assumed that the vehicle stops at the level of the low floor portion 12a of the floor surface 12 at the home position H, and the turn device 33 is waiting the pallet P in the approach direction IN of the vehicle. Therefore, the vehicle is loaded on the pallet P by going straight.
Here, the lifter 32 lifts up the vehicle together with the pallet P via the turn device 33, turns about 90 degrees, and lowers the vehicle on the vehicle-mounted frame 31a.

Next, the waterproof bulkheads 23, 23 move toward the center so as to waterproofly cover the front, rear, left, right and upper portions of the vehicle, thereby forming a car wash room H2 at the center of the home position H (FIG. 3). . At this time, the automatic car washing device 2
0 and 20 have a positional relationship as if they straddle the vehicle as a whole. Note that the door plates 23d of the waterproof partition 23 close immediately after passing through the vehicle. Automatic car wash device 2
0 and 20 are the nozzle arrangement members 2 with respect to the base member 21.
By moving up and down, 2 moves to a height corresponding to the vehicle type, and reciprocates in the front-rear direction of the vehicle along the sliders 21a, 21a. During this time, detergent and water are sequentially sprayed from the nozzles of the nozzle arrangement member 22 to wash away dirt on the vehicle, and finally, air is blown out to blow dry the wet vehicle body to complete the car washing. It is assumed that water for car washing flows into the pit 12b and is discharged outside by a discharge pump disposed at the bottom of the pit 12b.

If the waterproof partitions 23, 23 are opened to the left and right after the car washing is completed, the transport path of the blocked vehicle is continued (FIG. 2), so that the carriage 31 loads the vehicle and takes out the pallet P for parking. It rises to the position of the space S, and stops so that the parking shelf 13 and the vehicle-mounted frame 31a may coincide. Then, the roller rail on the parking shelf 13 side and the roller rail on the carriage 31 side can continuously feed the pallet P sideways, and the vehicle is stored in the parking space S together with the pallet P.

The vehicle once stored in the parking spaces S, S,... Can be transported to the home position H in the reverse order of the case where the vehicle is stored, and can be washed similarly. In this case, there is an advantage that the car wash can be performed by selecting a time zone in which the home position H is used less frequently. In addition, in any case of washing the car at any time, the automatic car washing devices 20 and 20 can wash the car without using a car wash brush or the like, and can be used with confidence even for a luxury car such as a pearl paint or a metallic paint. Is what you can do.
