SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
According to the parking facility described in Japanese Patent No. 229655, it is possible to always allow the vehicle to enter the parking facility forward and to leave the vehicle from the parking facility facility always forward. Ease and safety can be improved. However, the entrance / exit berth of the parking facility has an extremely complicated structure in which a spiral conveyor, a roller conveyor, and a lateral transfer conveyor are combined. Therefore, in order to smoothly maintain the operation of each conveyor and the operation of elevating and lowering the ground pallets, it is necessary to arrange adjacent ground pallets with a certain gap therebetween.

[0007] In addition, the ends of belt conveyors, slat conveyors, roller conveyors and the like placed on ground pallets have a curvature depending on the radius of the conveyor pulley, sprocket or roller. As a result, in some cases, the gap between adjacent conveyors becomes larger than the gap between adjacent ground pallets.
It reaches about 0 mm. In this case, it is supposed that the occupant may get off or get on unintentionally, so take measures to prevent the occupant's legs from being caught in the gap between the adjacent conveyors and ensure the occupant's safety. You should be very careful.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a parking facility capable of sufficiently securing the safety of an occupant getting on and off the vehicle, and a clearance closing device for the parking facility.

[0009]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a parking facility capable of accommodating a plurality of vehicles, having a plurality of conveyors adjacent to each other, and transferring the vehicles between the respective conveyors. In a parking facility equipped with a gap closing device for closing a gap between each conveyor,
The gap closing device includes a closing member that can be inserted into the gap, and a closing member driving mechanism that inserts the closing member into the gap from below the conveyor.

In this parking facility, a vehicle entering the parking facility is located on a conveyor, and an occupant who tries to get into the parked vehicle before the occupant gets off the vehicle or passes through the parking facility. Before the gap closing device is operated, the gap between the respective conveyors is closed. Thereby, even if the occupant gets off the vehicle or gets on the vehicle without any inconvenience, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the legs are caught in the gap between the adjacent conveyors. Therefore, in this parking facility, it is possible to ensure the occupant's safety extremely well.

Further , the parking according to the present invention as set forth in claim 1 is provided.

By employing such a configuration, the closing member and the closing member drive mechanism can be disposed below the upper surface of the conveyor, so that these members, mechanisms and the like prevent the vehicle from being transported by the conveyor. Can be prevented.

The closing member driving mechanism includes a lifting member disposed below the gap, a driving unit for raising and lowering the lifting member with respect to the conveyor, and a supporting member fixed to the lifting member and insertable into the gap. The closing member includes a pair of tread members supported rotatably by the support member, and each tread member is rotatable so as to be separated from each other as the support member rises. preferable.

In this case, for example, when the conveyors adjacent to each other are operated and the vehicle is transferred between the two, the lifting member arranged below the gap is lowered.
At this time, the tread members supported rotatably by the support members are located in a narrow space below the gap in a state of approaching each other and facing each other. On the other hand, when closing the gap between the adjacent conveyors, the drive unit is operated to raise the elevating member disposed below the gap. Accordingly, the support member fixed to the elevating member also rises with respect to the gap located above the support member.

When the support member rises, the tread members rotatably supported by the support member rotate so as to be separated from each other. When the elevating member is raised by a predetermined amount, both tread members are substantially horizontal, and their respective upper surfaces are at substantially the same level as the upper surfaces of the adjacent conveyors. With such a configuration, the gap closing device is accommodated in a narrow space below the gap between the adjacent conveyors, so that the transfer of the vehicle by the conveyor is not hindered, and the gap is securely closed. It becomes possible.

Further, the closing member drive mechanism is rotatable about an axis extending in parallel with the gap, and is disposed below a conveyor and a bell crank having a closing member attached to one arm. It is preferable to include a drive unit that is connected to the other arm of the bell crank and that rotates the bell crank.

A blocking member having a circular, substantially triangular (wedge-shaped) or rectangular cross section is attached to one of the arms of the bell crank, that is, the arm on the gap side between adjacent conveyors. A drive unit is connected to the other arm of the bell crank.

When closing the gap between adjacent conveyors by the gap closing device, the drive unit is operated to rotate the bell crank in a predetermined direction. As a result, the closing member attached to one of the arms of the bell crank is inserted into the gap from below the conveyor upward along the outer periphery of the conveyor pulley or the like. On the other hand, for example, when the conveyors adjacent to each other are operated and the vehicle is delivered between the two, the bell crank is rotated in the opposite direction, and the closing member is placed below the gap between the adjacent conveyors or the conveyor. Is located below. Even if such a configuration is adopted, it is possible to prevent the vehicle from being hindered by the conveyor due to the gap closing device, and to reliably close the gap between the adjacent conveyors.

In this case, it is preferable that one gap closing device is provided for each of the adjacent ends of each conveyor.

When the closing member is inserted from below by rotating the bell crank with respect to the gap between the adjacent conveyors, the width of the closing member is set to be smaller than the shortest distance of the gap between the adjacent conveyors. There is a need. In this case, for the adjacent ends of each conveyor,
By arranging the gap closing devices one by one, it is possible to sufficiently close the gap near the upper surface of the conveyor even if a narrow closing member is used. In this case, first, a bell crank provided for one conveyor is rotated,
The bell crank provided for the other conveyor is rotated with an operation start timing appropriately delayed from that of the bell crank previously rotated. As a result, with respect to the gap between the conveyors, after the closing member attached to one bell crank is inserted from below, the closing member attached to the other bell crank is inserted from below. become.

Further, the parking facility is provided with a plurality of parking sections for parking the vehicles, and is configured so that vehicles can enter and leave the respective parking sections from the berth. The conveyor includes a berth and each parking section. And a second conveyor disposed on the berth and continuous with the first conveyor, wherein the gap closing device comprises a first conveyor and a second conveyor. It is preferable to be disposed between

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a clearance closing device for a parking facility capable of accommodating a plurality of vehicles.

A piston rod of a fluid pressure cylinder 55 (drive unit) disposed below the conveyors 5f and 5r and the conveyors 11f and 11r is connected to the second arm 52 of the bell crank 50 via a connection link 54. I have. Thereby, if the stroke of the piston rod is expanded and contracted by operating the hydraulic cylinder 55, each bell crank 50
Can be rotated about the rotation axis 27 of the conveyor pulley 23.

The conveyors 5f and 5r and the conveyors 11f and 11r adjacent to each other by the gap closing device 30A.
In order to close the gap D, the hydraulic cylinder 55 as a drive unit is operated to extend the stroke of the piston rod. As a result, the bell crank 50 is
As shown in (2), it rotates in a predetermined direction (counterclockwise in the case of the left bell crank in the figure). With the rotation of the bell crank 50, the closing member 31A attached to the first arm portion 51 of the bell crank 50 moves upward from below the conveyors 5f, 5r, 11f, 11r along the outer periphery of the conveyor pulley 23. And inserted into the gap D.

On the other hand, for example, the front wheel conveyors 5f and 11f adjacent to each other and the rear wheel conveyor 5r
When the vehicle C is transferred between the two, the hydraulic cylinder 55 is operated to reduce the stroke of the piston rod. This causes the bell crank 50 to rotate in the opposite direction (clockwise in the case of the left bell crank 50 in the figure) as shown in FIG. With the rotation of the bell crank 50, the closing member 31A attached to the first arm portion 51 of the bell crank 50 moves below the gap D between the conveyors 5f and 5r and the conveyors 11f and 11r, or each of the conveyors 5f and 5f. It is moved to below 5r, 11f, 11r. Even if such a configuration is adopted,
Conveyors 5f, 5r, 11f, 11 are provided by gap closing device 30A (blocking member 31A, closing member drive mechanism 40A).
r does not hinder the transfer of vehicle C,
And the conveyors 5f, 5r and the conveyor 11 which are adjacent to each other.
The gap D between f and 11r can be reliably closed.

Here, when the closing member 31A is inserted from below by rotating the bell crank 50 with respect to the gap D as in the gap closing device 30A, the width of the closing member 31A is set to the width of the conveyor 5f adjacent to each other. , 5r and conveyor 1
It is necessary to set the gap D to be smaller than the shortest distance ds between the gaps 1f and 11r. For this reason, there is a possibility that the gap D cannot be sufficiently closed by one closing member 31A.
Based on this point, when equipping the parking facility with the gap closing device 30A, as shown in FIG.
It is preferable to dispose one 0A for each of the adjacent ends of the conveyors 5f, 5r, 11f, 11r. This makes it possible to sufficiently close the gap D near the upper surface of the conveyor belt 24 even if the narrow closing member 31A is used.

In this case, the bell crank 50 provided for one of the conveyors 5f and 5r is rotated, and the bell crank 50 provided for the other conveyors 11f and 11r is rotated first. It is rotated with the operation start timing appropriately delayed from that of the bell crank 50. Thus, after the closing member 31A attached to one bell crank 50 is inserted from below into the gap D, the closing member 31A attached to the other bell crank 50 is inserted from below. Will be. In addition,
It is also possible to form the closing member 31A with a rectangular cross section, a circular cross section, or the like. Further, it is preferable to form the back surface of the closing member 31A along the shape of the end of the conveyor 5f, 5r, 11f, 11r like the right side of the closing member 31A shown in FIG.
