Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a vertical circulation parking apparatus, and more particularly to a vertical circulation parking apparatus that stores a mixture of automobiles having different vehicle heights.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As illustrated in FIG. 2, the vertical circulation parking device (so-called tower parking) accommodates a vehicle 2 (mainly a passenger car) placed on a pallet 1 in a cage 3 and circulates a large number of cages 3 vertically. A feature is that a large number of vehicles can be parked in a narrow site. Furthermore, in tower parking with a built-in turntable, the turntable 4 is placed under the cage 3 located at the lowermost end, and the pallet 1 on which the vehicle 2 is placed is lifted by the turntable 4 at the lowermost end and rotated horizontally. The vehicle's longitudinal direction can be changed. The entry / exit of the vehicle 2 is normally performed at the lowermost position, but there are also those for intermediate entry and upper entry.
[0003]
FIG. 3 is a structural diagram of the upper part of FIG. 2, that is, the tower parking drive unit. As shown in this figure, the tower parking drive section includes a large upper sprocket 6 that drives a drive chain 5 that lifts the cage 3, a gear train 7 that rotationally drives the upper sprocket 6, and a drive device that drives the gear train 7. It consists of eight. FIG. 4 is an AA arrow view of FIG. As shown in this figure, the drive device 8 comprises an electric motor 8a, a brake 8b, a drive shaft 8c, and the like, and rotationally drives a small gear 7a located at the lowermost part of the gear train 7, and the upper sprocket via the gear train 7 6 is rotated to circulate a number of cages 3 vertically. Moreover, as shown in this figure, the tower parking drive part is installed in the upper part of the girder 9, and the both ends of this girder 9 are installed on the structure 11 (for example, reinforced concrete beam) previously provided in the building.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Due to the recent boom of RV vehicles (Recreational Vehicles), there is a strong demand for tower parking that can also receive RV vehicles, and the applicant of the present invention is a mixed vertical circulation parking device that mixes and stores RV vehicles and ordinary vehicles. Type tower parking). As illustrated in FIG. 5, the mixed vertical circulation parking apparatus includes a normal car 3 a having a low height for a normal car and a high RV cage 3 b for a RV car in the same drive chain 5. It is arranged along. For example, when the attachment interval of the ordinary cage 3a to the chain is 1600 mm and the attachment interval of the RV cage 3b is 2000 mm, four RV cages 3b are attached to the chain length of five ordinary cages 3a. , Can be mixed type.
[0005]
In such a mixed type vertical circulation parking device, the height of the RV cage 3b is about 400 mm higher than that of the ordinary cage 3a. Therefore, in order to avoid interference between the RV cage 3b and the driving device 8, the upper portion from the small gear 7a is increased accordingly. It is necessary to increase the rotational height of the sprocket 6. Therefore, in the conventional mixed type vertical circulation parking apparatus, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the idle gear (free gear 7 b) is added to the gear train. However, in such a conventional mixed-type vertical circulation parking device, the height H from the device support surface 11a of the structure 11 provided in the building in advance to the upper end of the device is different from that of the conventional vertical-circulation parking device that is not a mixed type. In comparison, there was a problem that it was higher (about 400 mm).
[0006]
The non-mixed type tower parking shown in FIG. 6 has a track record of more than 20 years, thousands of devices have been in operation, and some of them need to be renewed and replaced with new tower parking. In this case, it is strongly desired to replace the mixed vertical circulation parking device described above in response to the recent RV boom. In this case, the height from the device support surface 11a on which the tower parking drive unit is installed to the ceiling is high. There was a problem that was not enough.
[0007]
The present invention has been made to solve such problems. That is, the object of the present invention is to store, for example, a mixed RV vehicle and a normal vehicle in an existing building where the height from the device support surface to the ceiling is short without significantly changing the main part. It is to provide a vertical circulation parking device .
