[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a berth in which a vehicle enters or exits or enters or exits, and a traverse conveyor that laterally feeds the vehicle to each of a vehicle carrier that moves between an area adjacent to the berth and another area to convey the vehicle. The present invention relates to a mechanical parking apparatus.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The mechanical multi-story parking device is set, for example, on the ground or a predetermined floor, and is placed side by side on a loading / unloading berth in which a vehicle is loaded / unloaded by a driver's driving and a parking floor below or above this loading / unloading berth, Set to communicate with multiple parking rooms that can accommodate vehicles, traveling carts that run along running roads arranged alongside parking rooms, and the area beside the entry / exit berth and the side of the road Lifts that move up and down the hoistway, and a traverse conveyor that is installed on each of these, corresponding to each of the front and rear wheels of the vehicle, and that moves the wheels in the width direction of the vehicle to transfer the vehicle When the vehicle is automatically carried in, the vehicle in the loading / unloading berth is transported in order from the loading / unloading berth to the lift, from the lift to the traveling carriage, and from the traveling carriage to the parking room. When carrying out automatically, the car in the parking room The to the traveling vehicle from the parking chamber, from the traveling vehicle to the lift, and is configured to convey from the lift to the entry and leaving berths, and in order.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the mechanical multi-story parking apparatus having such a configuration, the vehicle is transferred between the entering / exiting berth and the lift by the transverse conveyors to deliver the vehicle. It is necessary to set the road so as to extend linearly in a direction orthogonal to the vehicle feeding direction (direction facing the lift) by the transverse conveyor.
[0004]
Here, for example, on the layout, there are cases where the approach path and the exit path of the vehicle can be extended only in a straight line to some extent. In this way, when the straight road connected to the entry / exit berth is short, the straight road is used to change the direction of the road for changing the direction of the vehicle by gradually changing the direction of the vehicle on the curved path. There is a problem that a large area of an approach path and a exit path including a direction change lane is required around the entry / exit berth.
[0005]
Moreover, since it is necessary to ensure the area of the approach path and exit path including the direction change lane around the entry / exit berth in this way, for example, the entry / exit berth, the lift, etc. cannot be arranged at the end of the building. There is also a problem that the degree of freedom of design is limited due to the restrictions.
[0006]
These problems are not a problem that arises only for a mechanical parking device having a loading / unloading berth that is used as both a loading and unloading berth, but a mechanical parking device in which the loading berth and the unloading berth are installed independently. Will occur in the same way.
[0007]
The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and provides a mechanical parking device in which the area of a roadway with respect to a berth is greatly reduced and the degree of freedom in design is improved. Objective.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  A mechanical parking apparatus according to the present invention includes a berth in which a vehicle enters, exits, or enters / exits, a vehicle carrier that moves between an area adjacent to the berth and another area, and conveys the vehicle, and the berth and the vehicle. A traverse conveyor installed on each of the transport bodies corresponding to each of the front and rear wheels of the vehicle, transferring the wheels in the width direction of the vehicle and transferring the vehicle between the berth and the vehicle transport body; In the berth, a turntable having a traverse conveyor is arranged on the berth, and a vehicle entrance / exit or advancing / retreating port with respect to the berth sandwiches the berth therebetween. On the opposite side of the area adjacent to the berthA plurality of parking rooms capable of accommodating vehicles are arranged above or below the berth, the other area is set to a parking floor having a parking room, and the vehicle carrier is adjacent to the parking floor and the berth. It is a lift that moves up and down between the areas, the lift is installed at the corner of the building, the berth is installed at the end of the building, and on the parking floor, from the lift toward the direction perpendicular to the transfer direction of the traversing conveyor, There are parking rooms along the edge of the building.It is characterized by.
[0009]
According to the mechanical parking apparatus configured as described above, when the vehicle enters, the turntable so that the traverse conveyor of the turntable disposed in the berth is orthogonal to the traverse conveyor of the vehicle carrier. Is located, and the vehicle enters the berth through the entrance or advancing / retreating port of the vehicle provided on the opposite side of the vehicle transporter with the berth in between, and the wheels are placed on each traverse conveyor of the turntable. When the vehicle is stopped as described above, the turntable is rotated and stopped so that the traverse conveyor of the turntable and the traverse conveyor of the vehicle transport body are aligned, and the vehicle of the turntable is traversed by the traverse conveyor of the turntable and the vehicle transport body. Are transferred to the vehicle carrier. On the other hand, when the vehicle leaves, the turntable is positioned so that the traversing conveyor of the turntable is aligned with the traversing conveyor of the vehicle transporter, and the vehicle of the vehicle transporter is connected to the vehicle transporter and the turntable. The turntable is transferred to the turntable by the cooperation of the traverse conveyor, and the turntable stops by rotating so that the traverse conveyor of the turntable is orthogonal to the traverse conveyor of the vehicle carrier. The vehicle exits through the exit or advance / exit of the vehicle provided on the opposite side of the vehicle carrier with the berth in between.
[0010]
  In this way, a turntable having a traverse conveyor is arranged on the berth, so that the vehicle entrance or exit or advancement / retrieval port sandwiches the berth and traverses between the berth. Since it is possible to dispose the vehicle on the opposite side of the vehicle carrier that transfers the vehicle by the conveyor, the roadway to the berth is unnecessary in the direction orthogonal to the transverse feed direction of the vehicle by the transverse conveyor. At the same time, a direction-changing roadway is unnecessary.In addition, by installing a berth at the end of the building, the degree of freedom of arrangement of the traveling path and parking room inside the device, for example, compared to the case where the berth is arranged at other than the end of the building, is greatly improved. Is done.
[0011]
  Here, as a specific configuration of the mechanical parking device, for example,The vehicle lane with respect to the berth forms a substantially straight line with respect to the entrance, exit, or advance and exit, and extends substantially along the edge of the building.A configuration is mentioned.
[0012]
In addition, when the turntable has a circular shape in plan view, it is necessary to configure the end portion of the traverse conveyor in an R shape. However, if the turntable has a rectangular shape in plan view, the end portion is R. There is no need to configure the shape, and manufacturing is facilitated.
[0013]
Moreover, it is preferable that the turntable is comprised so that raising / lowering is possible.
[0014]
When such a configuration is adopted, the turntable is raised and turned, so that the turntable and the vehicle carrier can be disposed close to each other while avoiding interference with adjacent members.
[0016]
Here, when the traverse conveyor installed in the berth corresponding to each of the front wheel and the rear wheel of the vehicle, as in the conventional case, the front wheel conveyor is narrow and the rear wheel conveyor is wide, It is necessary to align the traversing conveyors, and when receiving the next vehicle, it may be necessary to rotate the turntable more than 90 °, but the traversing conveyor of the turntable is configured with the same width. If so, the turntable may be rotated every 90 °. In addition, if the width of the turntable traverse conveyor is configured to be the same, the warehousing operation is simplified as compared with the conventional case where the vehicle is stopped based on the narrow front wheel conveyor. Compared to the conventional case where the width of the rear wheel conveyor is wide so as to absorb the variation in the position of the rear wheel on the basis of the front wheel, the load on the horizontal conveyor is reduced, and the parts of both the horizontal conveyors are made common. The

The first front horizontal portion 76f and the first rear horizontal portion 76b formed on both sides (left and right sides in FIG. 7) of 76a.
[0032]
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, racks 78 having a predetermined pitch are disposed on the first inclined portion 76a, the first front horizontal portion 76f, and the first rear horizontal portion 76b. 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. It is preferable.
[0033]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, the movable carriage 75 basically corresponds to the driven member 74 that is moved point-symmetrically, faces the first inclined portion 76a in parallel, and has the same height h. It has the 2nd inclined part 77a which has.
[0034]
Further, a second front horizontal portion 77f and a second rear horizontal portion 77b are formed on both sides (left and right sides in FIG. 7) of the second inclined portion 77a. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, racks 79 having the same pitch as the racks 78 are disposed on the second inclined portions 77a, the second front horizontal portions 77f, and the second rear horizontal portions 77b. The transition part between the second front horizontal part 77f and the second inclined part 77a and the transition part between the second inclined part 77a and the second rear horizontal part 77b are also configured so that the rack 79 is smoothly continuous. Is preferred.
[0035]
Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a piston rod of a fluid pressure cylinder 80 that is fixed to the rear end portion (the right end portion in FIG. 7) of the base member 72 and expands and contracts in the horizontal direction is connected to the rear surface of the movable carriage 75. Has been. The fluid pressure cylinder 80 is for moving the movable carriage 75 forward and backward on the upper surface of the base member 72. The driving means for moving the movable 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 movable carriage 75 to drive the wheels 75a. .
[0036]
Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the lift mechanism 73 is in contact with the first inclined portion 76a of the driven member 74 and the second inclined portion 77a of the movable carriage 75, and the first inclined portion 76a and the second inclined portion 77a. In contrast, a driving force transmission member 81 is provided which can freely roll.
[0037]
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the driving force transmission member 81 has a rack 78 disposed in the first inclined portion 76a and a rack 79 disposed in the second inclined portion 77a at the center thereof. The pinion gear portion 82 is engaged. On both sides of the pinion gear portion 82, a roller 83 is provided that rolls relative to a guide portion 74a formed on the driven member 74 and a guide portion 75b formed on the movable carriage 75. Therefore, the weights of the pallet unit 12 and the turning drive unit 14 are supported by the rollers 83, and by increasing the rigidity of the rollers 83, the racks 78 and 79 and the pinion gear unit 82 are prevented from being damaged.
[0038]
As shown in FIG. 6, the lifting device 70 includes two pairs of lift mechanisms 73 (two lift mechanisms 73 that form one pair in the left-right direction in the figure and one pair in the front-rear direction in the vertical direction of the drawing). Each of the moving carriages 73 moves forward and backward in opposite directions (directions approaching or separating from each other). That is, the driven member 74 of each lift mechanism 73 is fixed to both ends of the table member 71 so as to be opposite to each other. In addition, the movable carriage 75 is arranged such that the second inclined portion 77 a faces the first inclined portion 76 a of the driven member 74.
[0039]
In this way, the movable carriage 75 of the two pairs of lift mechanisms 73 is configured to be movable back and forth in opposite directions, so that the vicinity of the center portion of the table member 71 can be recessed in a concave shape. The swivel drive unit 14 is disposed in the front.
[0040]
In the lifting device 70 having such a configuration, the first inclined portion 76a of the driven member 74 and the second inclined portion 77a of the movable carriage 75 are opposed to each other via the driving force transmission member 81, and this driving force transmission member 81 Is in contact with the first inclined portion 76a of the driven member 74, is in contact with the second inclined portion 77a of the movable carriage 75, and is rotatable with respect to the first inclined portion 76a and the second inclined portion 77a.
[0041]
Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 10, the driving force transmission member 81 in contact with the second inclined portion 77a of the moving carriage 75 is moved to the second inclination by moving each moving carriage 75 forward (left side in the drawing in FIG. 10). Rolls in one direction (rightward in FIG. 10) with respect to the portion 77a. Here, since the second inclined portion 77a is parallel to the first inclined portion 76a, when the driving force transmission member 81 rolls in one direction with respect to the second inclined portion 77a, the second inclined portion 77a comes into contact with the driving force transmission member 81. The driven member 74 including the first inclined portion 76a moves relative to the moving carriage 75 including the second inclined portion 77a in the one direction.
[0042]
At this time, the pinion gear portion 82 of the driving force transmission member 81 meshes with racks 78 and 79 disposed on the first inclined portion 76 a of the driven member 74 and the second inclined portion 77 a of the movable carriage 75. Therefore, by moving the moving carriage 75 forward, the driven member 74 reliably moves relative to the moving carriage 75 via the driving force transmission member 81. Further, 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. Accordingly, by moving the movable carriage 75 in the horizontal direction, the driven member 74 is reliably raised in the vertical direction.
[0043]
As a result, the turning drive unit 14 on the table member 71 rises vertically together with the pallet portion 12 with respect to the pit PT where the base member 72 is disposed. Then, the driven member 74 is moved forward by moving the moving carriage 75 until the driving force transmitting member 81 is positioned between the first front horizontal portion 76f of the driven member 74 and the second rear horizontal portion 77b of the moving carriage. The fixed table member 71 can be raised from the base member 72 by a lift corresponding to the sum of the height (h) of the first inclined portion and the height (h) of the second inclined portion.
[0044]
By raising the pallet part 12 by the height of 2 h, the pallet part 12 can be rotated above the intermediate region 61 and the lift 58.
[0045]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, the driving force transmission member 81 that is in contact with the second inclined portion 77a of the moving carriage 75 is moved backward with respect to the second inclined portion 77a. Rolls in the opposite direction to the direction. Here, since the second inclined portion 77a is parallel to the first inclined portion 76a, when the driving force transmission member 81 rolls in the other direction with respect to the second inclined portion 77a, the second inclined portion 77a comes into contact with the driving force transmission member 81. The driven member 74 including the first inclined portion 76a moves relative to the moving carriage 75 including the second inclined portion 77a in the other direction. As a result, the driving force transmitting member 81 is lifted by moving the movable carriage 75 backward until it is positioned between the first rear horizontal portion 76b of the driven member 74 and the second front horizontal portion 77f of the movable carriage. The table member 71 can be lowered with respect to the base member 72 and returned to the original state.
[0046]
Thus, according to the elevating device 70, the table member 71 can be reliably raised and lowered with respect to the base member 72 by moving each movable carriage 75 forward and backward.
[0047]
Next, an operation of the mechanical multi-story parking device 51 including the turntable device 11 having such a configuration will be described. First, as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 2 when the driver drives, the vehicle V travels along a straight advance / retreat path 59 and reaches the entry / exit berth 52 before the entry / exit gate G1 is opened and closed. The vehicle V enters the loading / unloading berth 52 by the driver's driving.
[0048]
At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the lift 58 stands by at the loading / unloading booth 54, and the pallet unit 12 has the traverse conveyors 60 f and 60 r of the pallet unit 12 as the lift 58 and the traverse conveyors 60 f and 60 r of the intermediate region 61. It is located so as to be orthogonal to the vehicle V, that is, to extend in a direction orthogonal to the approach direction of the vehicle V.
[0049]
The driver stops the vehicle V so that the front wheels and the rear wheels of the vehicle V are respectively placed on the transverse conveyors 60f and 60r of the pallet unit 12 (see the vehicle V indicated by a solid line in FIG. 2). When the driver or passenger gets off and exits to the exit section (not shown), the pallet unit 12 on which the turning drive unit 14 and the vehicle V are mounted is raised by the lifting device 70 constituting the turntable device 11. .
[0050]
When the pallet unit 12 rises to a predetermined ascending position (when the pallet unit 12 rises by a height of 2 h), the pallet unit 12 rotates 90 ° counterclockwise in the figure by the turning drive unit 14.
[0051]
At this time, the pallet unit 12 rotates above the intermediate region 61 and the lift 58 without any interference. After rotating 90 °, the pallet portion 12 is lowered to the initial height (lowered by a height of 2h) by the lifting device 70, and as shown in FIG. 3, the pallet portion 12, the intermediate region 61, the lift 58 The transverse conveyors 60f and 60r are all lined up.
[0052]
The vehicle V is transferred from the pallet unit 12 to the intermediate region 61 and from the intermediate region 61 to the lift 58 by the cooperation of all the transverse conveyors 60f and 60r of the pallet unit 12, the intermediate region 61 and the lift 58 ( (See vehicle V shown in phantom in FIG. 3).
[0053]
The lift 58 descends and stops on a predetermined parking floor P, and the vehicle V is driven by the traveling carriage 57 in cooperation with the lift 58 and the two transverse conveyors 60f and 60r of the traveling carriage 57 that are stopped by the lift 58. To be transferred. This traveling carriage 57 is self-propelled and stops beside the corresponding parking room 56, and the vehicle V enters the corresponding parking room 56 by the cooperation of the traveling carriage 57 and the two transverse conveyors 60 f and 60 r of the corresponding parking room 56. Transferring is completed.
[0054]
On the other hand, when the vehicle V is unloaded from the parking room 56, the vehicle V in the parking room 56 is generally reversed, and the vehicle V in the parking room 56 is moved from the parking room 56 to the traveling carriage 57 and from the traveling carriage 57 to the lift 58. The lift 58 is lifted to the loading / unloading booth 54.
[0055]
At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the pallet unit 12 stands by so that the transverse conveyors 60 f and 60 r of the pallet unit 12 are aligned with the lift 58 and the transverse conveyors 60 f and 60 r of the intermediate region 61.
[0056]
When the lift 58 reaches the loading / unloading booth 54, the vehicle V (refer to the vehicle V indicated by the phantom line in FIG. 3) is operated by the cooperation of the lift 58, the intermediate region 61, and all the transverse conveyors 60f and 60r of the pallet unit 12. Transfer is performed from the lift 58 to the intermediate region 61 and from the intermediate region 61 to the pallet unit 12 (see the vehicle V indicated by a solid line in FIG. 3).
[0057]
When the transfer of the vehicle V to the pallet part 12 is completed, the turning drive unit 14 and the pallet part 12 are lifted by the lifting device 70, and when the pallet part 12 is lifted to a predetermined lift position (the height is increased by 2h). Then, the pallet unit 12 is rotated 90 ° counterclockwise by the turning drive unit 14.
[0058]
At this time, the pallet unit 12 rotates above the intermediate region 61 and the lift 58 without any interference. The pallet part 12 is lowered to an initial height by the lifting device 70 after being rotated by 90 °, and the transverse conveyors 60f and 60r of the pallet part 12 are transverse to the intermediate region 61 and the lift 58 as shown in FIG. The front portion of the vehicle V faces the advance / retreat port 55 while being orthogonal to the conveyors 60f and 60r.
[0059]
When a driver or a passenger gets on the vehicle V and the entry / exit gate G1 is opened and closed, the vehicle V is taken out from the entry / exit berth 52 by the driver's driving and travels on a straight advance / retreat path 59. (See the vehicle V shown by the phantom line in FIG. 4).
[0060]
Further, from this state, when the next vehicle V enters the vehicle, this state may be maintained. When the next vehicle V leaves the vehicle, the pallet unit 12 is raised by the elevating device 70 to drive turning. It may be rotated 90 ° counterclockwise by the unit 14 and lowered by the lifting device 70 to obtain the state shown in FIG.
[0061]
Thus, in this embodiment, the pallet part (turntable) 12 that has the traverse conveyors 60f and 60r and is turnable is disposed in the loading / unloading berth 52 so that the advancing / retreating port 55 of the vehicle V can be moved in and out. It is disposed on the opposite side of the loading / unloading booth 54 with the loading / unloading berth 52 in between, the advancing / retreating path (vehicle path) 59 with respect to the loading / unloading berth 52 is linear, and the transverse feed direction of the vehicle V by the transverse conveyors 60f and 60r Is not required in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the vehicle, and a direction-changing roadway is not required. For this reason, the area of the roadway with respect to the loading / unloading berth 52 is significantly reduced, and for example, the loading / unloading berth 52, the lift 58 and the like can be arranged at the end of the building 50, and the degree of freedom in design is improved.
[0062]
In addition, since the loading / unloading berth 52 is installed at the end of the building 50 as described above, for example, traveling inside the parking device 51 is performed as compared with the case where the loading / unloading berth 52 is installed at a position other than the end of the building 50.

Further, if the traverse conveyors 60f and 60r of the pallet unit 12 are conventional traverse conveyors having a narrow front wheel conveyor and a wide rear wheel conveyor, it is necessary to match the traverse conveyors with respect to the direction of the vehicle V. Yes, when receiving the next vehicle V, it may be necessary to rotate the pallet part 12 more than 90 ° (for example, 180 °), but in the present embodiment, the transverse conveyor 60f, Since the widths of 60r are the same, the rotation of the pallet unit 12 may be every 90 °, the rotation time is shortened, and the smoothness of loading / unloading of the vehicle V is improved.
[0066]
In addition, since the widths of the transverse conveyors 60f and 60r of the pallet unit 12 are configured to be the same as described above, compared to the case where the vehicle V is stopped on the basis of the narrow front wheel conveyor as in the prior art. The warehousing work has been simplified and the driver's labor has been reduced, and compared with the conventional case where the width of the rear wheel conveyor is wide to absorb the variation in the position of the rear wheel on the basis of the front wheel, The cost is reduced by reducing the load, and the cost is further reduced by sharing the parts of both the transverse conveyors 60f and 60r.
[0067]
In the present embodiment, since the widths of the transverse conveyors 60f and 60r in the region other than the pallet part 12 are also configured to be the same, the conventional conveyors 60f and 60r of the pallet part 12 are similar to those described above. Thus, compared with the case where the width of the rear wheel conveyor is wide so as to absorb the variation in the position of the rear wheel on the basis of the front wheel, the load on the transverse conveyor is reduced and the cost is reduced, and both the transverse conveyors 60f, By sharing the 60r parts, the cost can be further reduced. In addition, the vehicle V can be parked in the reverse direction, and the design and application can be diversified. ing.
[0069]
Further, the present invention is not limited to the application to the mechanical parking device provided with the incoming / outgoing berth 52 in which the incoming berth and the outgoing berth are the same, and also to the mechanical parking device in which the incoming berth and the outgoing berth are separated. Applicable. In this case, at the berthing berth, the entrance of the vehicle V to the berthing berth is on the opposite side of the warehousing booth with the berthing berth in between, and at the berthing berth, the exit of the vehicle V to the berthing berth is Each will be provided on the opposite side of the shipping booth with a berth in between.
[0070]
In the above embodiment, it is more preferable that the widths of the traverse conveyors 60f and 60r are the same. However, the traverse conveyor has a narrow conveyor corresponding to the front wheels and a wide conveyor corresponding to the rear wheels. May be.
[0071]
Further, the configuration of the turntable device 11 is not limited to that of the above-described embodiment. In short, it is only necessary that the pallet unit 12 can turn, and the configuration of the lifting means is also that of the above-described embodiment. In short, the pallet part 12 may be moved up and down.
[0072]
【The invention's effect】
The mechanical parking device of the present invention has a traverse conveyor and a turntable that can be turned on the berth, so that the entrance or exit or advancement / exit of the vehicle is sandwiched between the berth and the berth. It is possible to dispose the vehicle on the opposite side of the vehicle transporter that transfers the vehicle by the traverse conveyor, and eliminates the need for the roadway to the berth in the direction perpendicular to the traverse direction of the vehicle by the traverse conveyor. Since it is configured to eliminate the need for a turning road, it is possible to greatly reduce the area of the road with respect to the berth, and for example, it is possible to place a berth, a lift, etc. at the end of the building. Thus, the degree of freedom in design can be improved.
