In the conventional parking device as described above, for example, the entrance passage for the vehicle to enter the entrance berth and the exit passage for the vehicle to exit from the exit berth are used in common because of their layout. If the combined storage passage and output passage cannot pass through, it is conceivable to dispose a pallet unit having a turning mechanism such as a turntable on the storage berth or the storage berth.

However, when a pallet unit equipped with a turntable is arranged in the incoming berth or the outgoing berth, there is a certain amount of space between the pallet unit (turntable) and the floor of the incoming berth or the outgoing berth. There will be a gap. In this case, it is assumed that the occupant will get off or get on at random, so take measures to prevent the situation where the occupant's legs are caught in the gap that exists on the side of the pallet section. We must make every effort to ensure safety.

Further, when a conveyor for transferring a vehicle to the pallet portion, such as a belt conveyor, a slat conveyor or a roller conveyor, is provided, the end of the conveyor in the vehicle transfer direction has a radius of a conveyor pulley, a sprocket or a roller. Has a curvature that depends on As a result, the gap between the conveyors adjacent to each other becomes larger than the gap between the pallet portions adjacent to each other and the floor surface of the loading berth or the shipping berth, and reaches about 150 mm, for example.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a parking device capable of sufficiently ensuring the safety of an occupant getting on and off a vehicle.

[0007]

A parking device according to the present invention is a parking device having a pallet portion on which a vehicle can be placed, and is projected from below toward a gap existing on the side of the pallet portion. It is characterized by including a light projecting unit that outputs light.

Since the parking apparatus according to the present invention is provided with the light projecting section for outputting the projected light from the lower side toward the gap existing on the side of the pallet section, the vehicle gets off from the vehicle or gets on the vehicle. The occupant is informed of the existence of the gap existing on the side of the pallet portion by the projected light. As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation in which, even if the occupant randomly gets off the vehicle or gets on the vehicle, the occupant is caught in a gap existing on the side of the pallet portion. Therefore, with this parking device, it is possible to ensure the safety of the occupant extremely well.

Further, in the present invention, the pallet section has a conveyor for transferring the vehicle, and the light projecting section is arranged below a gap located at an end of the conveyor in the vehicle transfer direction. It has a feature. When a conveyor for transferring the vehicle is provided in the pallet portion, the gap at the position where the conveyor is provided becomes larger than the gap at other positions, as described above. Therefore, by arranging the light projecting portion below the gap located at the end of the conveyor in the vehicle transfer direction, the presence of the gap at the position where the conveyor is provided is notified by the projected light, so that the occupant is It is possible to prevent a situation where a leg is picked up at the end of the conveyor in the vehicle transfer direction where the gap becomes large.

Further, when a vehicle entry detecting section for detecting entry of a vehicle into the garage section in which the pallet section is arranged and an entry of the vehicle into the garage section are detected by the vehicle entry detecting section, light is projected. It is preferable that a projection control section that controls the projection section to output projection light from the section is further provided. In this case, when the vehicle enters the garage section, that is, when the occupant is likely to get off, the projection light can be reliably output from the light projecting section. Further, since the light projecting section outputs the projected light when the vehicle enters the garage section, it is not necessary to constantly output the projected light, and the power consumption of the light projecting section is reduced or the durability of the light projecting section is reduced. Can be improved.

Further, the exit operation detecting section for detecting an operation for leaving the vehicle and the projecting operation detecting section for projecting from the light projecting section when the operation for leaving the vehicle is detected. It is preferable that a light projecting control unit that controls the light projecting unit to output light is further provided. In this case, the projection light can be reliably output from the light projecting unit during the leaving operation of the vehicle, that is, when the occupant is likely to get on the vehicle. Further, since the light projecting unit outputs the projecting light when the leaving operation is performed, it is not necessary to constantly output the projecting light, and the power consumption of the projecting unit is reduced or the durability of the projecting unit is improved. Can be achieved.

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the loading / unloading berth 2. As shown in the figure, a gate device G for restricting entry of the vehicle C is arranged near the loading / unloading booth 4. A turntable 11 is arranged beside the loading / unloading booth 4, that is, at the side of the stop position of the lift device 5 defined in the loading / unloading berth 2 (downward in the drawing).
The turntable 11 has a front wheel conveyor 11f and a rear wheel conveyor 11r as conveyors for laterally transferring the vehicle C.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the turntable 11 has a pallet portion 12 on which a front wheel conveyor 11f and a rear wheel conveyor 11r are arranged, and a drive source (not shown) for rotating the pallet portion 12. No.) is incorporated in the swing drive unit 14. The pallet portion 12 and the turning drive unit 14 are two lifting devices 7
It is arranged in a pit P formed by digging the ground plane through 0. That is, the turntable 11 (pallet portion 12) is supported by each lifting device 70 so as to be lifted and lowered. The number of lifting devices 70 is not limited to the above-mentioned two bodies, and may be one body or three or more bodies.

Regarding the turntable 11, the fixed position is a state in which the pallet portion 12 and the lift device 5 extend parallel to each other. When the lift device 5 is at the stop position in the loading / unloading berth 2 and the turntable 11 is descending in the fixed position (see FIG. 4), the vehicle is placed between the loading / unloading berth 2 and each parking section 6. Conveyor used for delivery (first conveyor)
Front wheel conveyor 5f and rear wheel conveyor 5r of the lift device 5, and front wheel conveyor 1 of the turntable 11
The 1f and the rear wheel conveyor 11r (second conveyor) are continuous (adjacent). Then, the upper surfaces of the front wheel conveyor 5f and the rear wheel conveyor 5r of the lift device 5 and the upper surfaces of the front wheel conveyor 11f and the rear wheel conveyor 11r of the turntable 11 are at substantially the same level.

On the other hand, the pallet unit 1 is lifted by the lifting device 70.
When 2 is completely lifted (see the broken line in FIG. 4), the pallet portion 12 (the lower surface) of the turntable 11 is higher than the upper surfaces of the front wheel conveyor 11f and the rear wheel conveyor 11r of the lift device 5 at the stop position. Located above. In this state, the turning drive unit 14 of the turntable 11

Also, a rear wheel lateral transfer conveyor 15r is arranged. When the pallet portion 12 is completely lifted by the lifting device 70, the pallet portion 12 of the turntable 11 (the lower surface thereof)
Is located above the upper surfaces of the front wheel lateral transfer conveyor 15f and the rear wheel lateral transfer conveyor 15r. Therefore, if the turning drive unit 14 of the turntable 11 is operated in this state, the pallet portion 12 of the turntable 11 will cause the front wheel conveyor 5f and the rear wheel conveyor 5r of the lift device 5 to move.
It will turn above the (second conveyor) and the front wheel lateral transfer conveyor 15f and the rear wheel lateral transfer conveyor 15r (third conveyor) (see FIG. 5).

In this way, if the front wheel lateral transfer conveyor 15f and the rear wheel lateral transfer conveyor 15r are provided on the loading / unloading berth 2, the vehicle C can move the vehicle C to the front wheels of the turntable 11 when the parking apparatus 1 is loaded. Even if the vehicle conveyor 11f and the rear wheel conveyor 11r and the front wheel lateral transfer conveyor 15f and the rear wheel lateral transfer conveyor 15r are mounted so as to straddle these conveyors 11f, 15f, 11r, 15r.
Can be appropriately operated to correct the vehicle C so that it is properly placed on the conveyors 11f and 11r of the turntable. As a result, it becomes possible to facilitate loading and unloading of the parking device 1 (access to the turntable 11).

In the parking device 1 thus constructed, the direction of the vehicle C can be changed very easily and reliably. Therefore, the vehicle C that has entered the one entry / exit berth 2 by forward traveling is loaded into the parking section 6, and the vehicle parked in the parking section 6 is exited from the one entry / exit berth 2 by forward traveling. Is possible. That is, the turntable 11 is configured to be vertically movable and swivel above the conveyors 5f and 5r (first conveyor) and the lateral transfer conveyors 15f and 15r (third conveyor) of the lift device 5, so that the loading / unloading berth 2 The structure can be simplified, and the manufacturing cost of the parking device 1 can be reduced. In addition, in this parking device 1, since it is possible to arrange the turntable 11 and the conveyors 5f and 5r of the lift device 5 close to each other, it is possible to reduce the space of the loading / unloading berth 2. .

Here, the turntable 11 (pallet section 12) has conveyors 11f and 11r for laterally transferring the vehicle C and is lifted and lowered by the lifting device 70. Similarly, the lift device 5 is also the vehicle C.
Has conveyors 5f and 5r for laterally moving the vehicle and moves up and down between the loading / unloading berth 2 and the parking floor 3. Therefore, each conveyor 5f, 5r, 11f, 1
In order to smoothly maintain the operation of the 1r and the horizontal transfer conveyors 15f and 15r and the lifting operation of the lift device 5 and the turntable 11, the lift device 5 and the turntable 11 that are adjacent to each other are Further, the turntable 11 and the horizontal transfer conveyors 15f and 15r need to be arranged with a certain gap.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, each conveyor 5
The ends of f, 5r, 11f, 11r, 15f, 15r are
It has a curvature depending on the radius of the conveyor pulley 23 (see FIG. 6, a sprocket in the case of a slat conveyor, a roller in the case of a roller conveyor). As a result, with respect to the upper surface of the conveyor belt 24, the gap D between the conveyors adjacent to each other (see FIG. 4 and the like) becomes larger than the gap between the lift device 5 and the turntable 11 adjacent to each other, for example, It reaches about 150 mm.

In consideration of this, in the parking device 1, as shown in FIG.
A plurality of light projecting units 30a and 30b are provided between the stop position of the turntable 11 and the turntable 11, and between the turntable 11 and the floor of the loading / unloading berth 2 (transverse conveyors 15f and 15r) (in this embodiment, respectively).

It should be noted that the transition portion between the first front horizontal portion 76f and the first inclined portion 76a and the transition portion between the first inclined portion 76a and the first rear horizontal portion 76b are configured so that the rack 78 is smoothly continuous. preferable.

On the other hand, the moving carriage 75 basically corresponds to the driven member 74 moved point-symmetrically, and the first inclined portion 7
It has the 2nd inclination part 77a which counters 6a in parallel, and has the same height h. In addition, on both sides (left and right in FIG. 8) of the second inclined portion 77a, the second front horizontal portion 77f, and
A second rear horizontal portion 77b is formed. These second
As shown in FIG. 9, a rack 79 having the same pitch as the rack 78 is arranged on the inclined portion 77a, the second front horizontal portion 77f, and the second rear horizontal portion 77b. The transition between the second front horizontal portion 77f and the second inclined portion 77a, and the second
It is preferable that the transition portion between the inclined portion 77a and the second rear horizontal portion 77b is also configured such that the rack 79 is smoothly continuous.

Further, a piston rod of a fluid pressure cylinder 80, which is fixed to the rear end of the base member 72 (the end on the right side in FIG. 8) and expands and contracts in the horizontal direction, is connected to the rear surface of the movable carriage 75. There is. The fluid pressure cylinder 80 is used for the moving carriage 7.
This is for moving 5 back and forth on the upper surface of the base member 72. The driving means for moving the moving carriage 75 forward and backward is not limited to the fluid pressure cylinder 80, and for example, an electric motor or the like may be mounted on the moving carriage 75 to drive the wheels 75a. .

Further, the lift mechanism 73 includes a driven member 74.
First inclined portion 76a of the vehicle and second inclined portion 77a of the moving carriage 75
And the first inclined portion 76a and the second inclined portion 77.
A driving force transmission member 81 that is rollable with respect to a is included. As shown in FIG. 9, the driving force transmission member 81 has a pinion gear portion 82 that meshes with the rack 78 arranged on the first inclined portion 76a and the rack 79 arranged on the second inclined portion 77a at the center thereof. Have. Rollers 83 are arranged on both sides of the pinion gear portion 82 so as to roll with respect to a guide portion 74a formed on the driven member 74 and a guide portion 75b formed on the moving carriage 75. As a result, the weight of the turntable 11 or the like, which is an object to be lifted, is reduced by the roller 8
Since it is supported by 3, the racks 78, 79 and the pinion gear portion 82 are prevented from being damaged.

As shown in FIG. 8, the lifting device 70 is provided with a pair (two sets) of lift mechanisms 73, and the lift mechanisms 73 are provided.
Each of the movable carriages 75 is moved back and forth in opposite directions. That is, the driven members 74 of each lift mechanism 73 are fixed to both ends of the table member 71 so as to be opposite to each other. In addition, the movable carriage 75 has a second inclined portion 77.
The a is arranged so as to face the first inclined portion 76 a of the driven member 74. In this way, if the moving carriages 75 of the two sets of the lift mechanisms 73 are configured to move back and forth in opposite directions, the central portion of the table member 71 can be recessed, so that the turntable 11 is driven to rotate. The unit 14 is provided with a recess 7 formed in the center of the table member 71.
It becomes possible to arrange it in 1a.

In the lifting device 70 having such a structure, the first inclined portion 76a of the driven member 74 and the second inclined portion 77a of the movable carriage 75 face each other (in parallel) via the driving force transmitting member 81. . Then, the driving force transmission member 81 is
It is in contact with the first inclined portion 76a of the driven member 74 and the second inclined portion 77a of the moving carriage 75, and is rollable with respect to the first inclined portion 76a and the second inclined portion 77a.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, each movable carriage 75 is moved forward, that is, on the driven member 74 side (in FIG. 10,
If it is moved to the left side, the second inclined portion 77 of the moving carriage 75
The driving force transmission member 81 that is in contact with a has the second inclined portion 77.
It rolls in one direction (rightward in FIG. 10) with respect to a. Here, the second inclined portion 77a is parallel to the first inclined portion 76a. Therefore, the driving force transmission member 81 is
When it rolls in one direction with respect to 7a, the driving force transmission member 8
The driven member 74 including the first inclined portion 76a that is in contact with 1
Moves relative to the moving carriage 75 including the second inclined portion 77a in the one direction.

At this time, the pinion gear portion 82 of the driving force transmission member 81 has racks 78, 7 arranged on the first inclined portion 76a of the driven member 74 and the second inclined portion 77a of the moving carriage 75.
It is in mesh with 9. Therefore, when the movable carriage 75 is moved forward, the driven member 74 is reliably moved relative to the movable carriage 75 via the driving force transmission member 81. The table member 71 that rises with respect to the base member 72 is guided in the vertical direction by a pantograph mechanism 85 as a guide means. Therefore, when the movable carriage 75 is moved forward in the horizontal direction, the driven member 74 is surely lifted in the vertical direction.

As a result, the turntable 11 on the table member 71 has the pit P in which the base member 72 is arranged.
Rises straight up against. Then, if the moving carriage 75 is moved forward until the driving force transmitting member 81 is located between the first front horizontal portion 76f of the driven member 74 and the second rear horizontal portion 77b of the moving carriage, the driven member 74 will move. The fixed table member 71 can be lifted from the base member 72 by a lift equivalent to the sum of the height (h) of the first inclined portion and the height (h) of the second inclined portion.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
, That is, on the opposite side of the driven member 74 (in FIG. 8,
If it is moved to the right side), the second inclined portion 77 of the moving carriage 75
The driving force transmission member 81 that is in contact with a has the second inclined portion 77.
The direction opposite to the one direction with respect to a (the other direction, FIG.
Then, roll to the left side). Here, the second inclined portion 77a is parallel to the first inclined portion 76a. Therefore, when the driving force transmission member 81 rolls in the other direction with respect to the second inclined portion 77a, the first inclined portion 76a in contact with the driving force transmission member 81.
The driven member 74 including the arrow moves relative to the moving carriage 75 including the second inclined portion 77a in the other direction. As a result, as a result, the driving force transmission member 81 has the first rear horizontal portion 76b of the driven member 74 and the second front horizontal portion 77 of the moving carriage.
If the moving carriage 75 is moved backward until it is located between the table member 71 and the base member f, the raised table member 71 is moved to the base member 72.
Can be lowered to return to the original state.

As described above, according to the elevating device 70, the table member 71 can be reliably moved up and down with respect to the base member 72 by moving each of the movable carriages 75 forward and backward, and the elevating device 70 is also provided. The overall height of is kept low. In addition, the table member 71 is on the base member 72,
It is mechanically supported via the driven member 74, the driving force transmission member 81, and the moving carriage 75. Therefore, it is possible to reliably maintain the raised state of the table member 71.

The inclination angles of the first inclined portion 76a of the driven member 74 and the second inclined portion 77a of the moving carriage 75 with respect to the horizontal plane are such that the driving force transmitting member 81 smoothly moves when the moving carriage 75 is moved back and forth. It is determined according to a predetermined calculation formula so as to roll with respect to the first inclined portion 76a and the second inclined portion 77a. Further, the driven member 74 is fixed to (the upper surface of) the base member 72, and the movable carriage 75 has the second inclined portion 77 a which faces the first inclined portion 76 a of the driven member 74 in parallel via the driving force transmitting member 81. In this state, the same result can be obtained even if the table member 71 (lower surface of the table member) is configured to be movable back and forth.

As described above, the elevating device 70 is capable of surely elevating the table member 71 with respect to the base member 72 and keeping the overall height low. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the depth of the pit P in which the turntable 11 is arranged, and it is possible to reduce the construction cost of the parking device 1. Further, the lifting object of the lifting device 70 is not limited to the turntable 11, and the lifting device 70 can be used as a lifting device for lifting various objects. In this case, it is also possible to attach casters or the like to the base member 72 to make the lifting device 70 movable.

The elevating device 70 does not necessarily have to have the above-described structure, and for example, a pair of left and right hydraulic actuators may be provided in front of and behind the turntable 11.

Subsequently, a procedure for loading and unloading the vehicle C in the parking device 1 will be described.

First, when the parking device 1 is in the waiting state for the vehicle C to be stored, the lift device 5 is at the stop position in the storage / berth berth 2, and the turntable 11 is lowered at the fixed position. (See Figure 3).
