DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of an outdoor exposure type multi-story parking device in which a pallet can move horizontally along a rail, and more particularly to a measure against snow and freezing of the rail.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, when an outdoor-exposed type multi-story parking device is, for example, a two-stage type, when entering / leaving an upper pallet, the lower pallet immediately below the upper pallet is laterally moved along a rail. Thus, an empty space is formed, and the upper pallet is lowered into the empty space.

[0003] In a cold region, since the lower pallet does not move along the rails due to snow accumulation or freezing, snow is removed using a scraper or the like.

[0004] However, this method is an ex post measure taken after the occurrence of snow or freezing, and it may be extremely difficult to completely remove snow or the like depending on the state of snow or freezing.

Therefore, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 61-125504.
As disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication, an electric heating pipe heater is arranged near the upper end of a rail having a substantially I-shaped cross section, and a freeze prevention type in which measures are taken in advance so that the rail does not freeze due to heat radiation from the electric heating pipe heater. Rails have been proposed.

Further, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-309602, for example, an infrared heater is arranged on the side and bottom of a rail having a substantially I-shaped cross section, and the rail is frozen by heat radiation from the infrared heater. A rail-point snow melting device that takes measures in advance to prevent this has also been proposed.

[0007]

However, in the above-mentioned proposed example, the electric heating pipe heater is attached to the rail by pressing the heater with a fixture made of a leaf spring.
Almost the entirety of the electric heating pipe heater is exposed to the outside, and there is a problem that most of the heat radiation from the electric heating pipe heater is dissipated into the atmosphere, and the heat transfer efficiency is extremely deteriorated.

In the latter proposed example, a hood having a substantially U-shaped cross section is attached to a stay such that the open end faces the side and bottom of the rail, and an infrared heater is provided inside the hood via an insulating table. Since the infrared heater is mounted, the infrared heater is covered by the hood so as not to be exposed to the outside.Thus, heat radiation from the infrared heater can be prevented from dissipating into the atmosphere as much as possible, but the mounting structure is complicated. Therefore, there is a problem that the mounting workability is reduced.
