Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a loading / unloading method using a parking device that parks in a partitioned space arranged in a matrix.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As schematically shown in FIG. 9, a pallet 1 for loading vehicles is arranged in a partitioned space partitioned in a matrix, and each pallet is moved repeatedly in the horizontal or vertical direction using one or more empty spaces 2. Thus, a parking device that conveys to a predetermined position has been proposed and implemented in part (for example, JP-A-2-115466, JP-A-2-115467, and JP-A-2-115468). This parking device is similar to a 15-game puzzle because it uses an empty space 2 to move an arbitrary pallet to a predetermined position. Hereinafter, such a parking device is referred to as a “puzzle parking device”.
[0003]
Moreover, the conventional puzzle parking apparatus is provided with a rail orthogonal to the lower surface of the pallet 1 and is driven by a driving roller while supporting and guiding the rail, thereby moving the pallet 1 horizontally or vertically. Further, the parking device is provided in one layer or a plurality of layers, and the pallet 1 is vertically conveyed to the entrance / exit 4 by the lift device 3. 9A is a plan view and FIG. 9B is a cross-sectional view.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, one lift is provided for each entrance / exit, and one or a plurality of entrances / exits are provided. In order to smoothly enter and exit the vehicle, it is better to have more entrances and exits. The entrance / exit is often provided on the ground surface, but the ground surface has various restrictions, and the number of entrances / exits is limited. In addition, it is easier for users to use the one with fewer entry / exit ports.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a loading / unloading method using a parking device that reduces the number of loading / unloading ports and smoothly loads and unloads vehicles.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
To achieve the above object, in the invention of claim 1, consists differing storage the inlet-outlet unit and the floor and the inlet-outlet unit, the inlet-outlet unit has an entry and leaving port on which the vehicle is entering or leaving the the storage unit compartmented partitioned spaces is provided in a matrix, each compartment space has a moving mechanism for moving the pallet back and forth and left and right, thus further one or more free space be less in the partition space In the loading and unloading method using the parking device in which the pallets are arranged as described above, and any pallet is moved to a predetermined partition space using the empty space,
The set of lift for lifting the pallet between the storage unit and inlet-outlet unit to the left and right of the entry and leaving port,
(A) Place an empty pallet at the loading / unloading port, the left and right lifts stand by at the loading / unloading unit, and the storage unit moves the actual pallet to the left and right other lifts and mounts them,
(B) Next, the vehicle that has entered the loading / unloading port is moved to the left / right one of the lifts, the left / right other lift is moved to the loading / unloading unit,
(C) Next, the left and right lifts loaded with the loaded vehicle are moved to the storage unit, the actual pallet to be loaded is moved to the loading / unloading port,
(D) Thereafter, the actual pallet is moved to a predetermined partition space from the left or right lift in the storage unit .
[0007]
Since two lifts are provided on the left and right of one loading / unloading port, the pallet can be moved quickly between the storage unit and the loading / unloading unit by raising and lowering alternately, and smooth loading / unloading is possible. it can. Moreover, since there is only one entry / exit port, it is possible to cope with various restrictions on the ground surface. In addition, because the storage unit is a puzzle parking device that uses a free space to move the pallet, it takes time to move the pallet (the actual pallet on which the vehicle is mounted or the empty pallet on which the vehicle is not mounted). Alternatively, since the pallet from the lift is moved at the same time, the pallet moving time is shortened compared to the case where there is only one lift.
[0008]
In invention of Claim 2 , a passage and a door which separates the passage and the lift are provided between the entrance and exit and the lift,
When the passenger gets out of the vehicle at the entrance / exit, the door is closed,
While the occupant is getting out of the vehicle at the loading / unloading port, the lift loaded with the vehicle to be loaded moves from the storage unit to the loading / unloading unit.
[0009]
The vehicle enters the entrance and exit, and the crew gets off there. In addition, I get into the vehicle at the entrance and exit and go out on my own. If a passage and a door are provided between the loading / unloading port and the lift, the lift and the loading / unloading port are completely separated from each other, so that the left and right lifts can be lifted regardless of whether the vehicle enters or leaves the loading / unloading port. This improves the smoothness of loading and unloading.
[0010]
In the invention of claim 3, the lift is provided with a turntable.
[0011]
By providing a turntable on the lift, the vehicle can be delivered in a forward state.
[0014]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1: shows the parking apparatus used for the loading / unloading method of 1st Embodiment of this invention, (A) is a storage part top view of the 1st basement floor, (B) is a ground loading / unloading part top view. FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line XX in FIG. The loading / unloading unit 11 is disposed on the ground surface, has a loading / unloading port 13 through which the vehicle 10 enters and leaves, and lifts 14 are provided on the left and right sides thereof. An entrance door 15 is provided in front of the entrance / exit 13 and opens and closes when the vehicle 10 enters and exits the entrance / exit 13. Rails are provided in the loading / unloading port 13 in the horizontal direction (left-right direction), and the pallet 1 is moved in the horizontal direction as indicated by an arrow, and the pallet 1 is moved between the lift 14. Each lift 14 is provided with a turntable 20 so that the vehicle to be delivered can go forward.
[0015]
The storage unit 12 includes a partition space 16 partitioned in a matrix. Except for the partition space where the lift 14 is provided, each partition space 16 is provided with a moving mechanism 17 for moving the mounted pallet 1 vertically and horizontally. The moving mechanism 17 includes, for example, rails that are arranged vertically and horizontally and wheels that are provided along the pallet 1 or along the rails and that move the pallet 1 while being guided by the rails. In the partition space 16, the pallet 1 is arranged, but at least one or more empty spaces in which the pallet 1 is not arranged are provided. The pallet 1 includes an actual pallet 1a on which the vehicle 10 is mounted and an empty pallet 1b on which the vehicle 10 is not mounted. Using this empty space, an arbitrary pallet 1 is moved to a predetermined position, for example, a lift 14. If the vacant space is increased, the pallet 1 is moved quickly, but the number of parking is reduced. For this reason, the number of empty spaces is determined in consideration of the parking state.
[0016]
The lift 14 is composed of a floor 14a, a ceiling 14b, and pillars 14c provided at four corners connecting the both, and is lifted and lowered by a lifting device (not shown). The floor 14a is provided with a moving mechanism for moving the pallet 1 vertically and horizontally and a rotating turntable 20, and the pallet 1 is loaded and unloaded. The moving mechanism is the same as that provided in the partition space 16 and is attached to the upper surface of the turntable 20. In the lift 14, the upper surface of the floor 14 a becomes the same surface as the entrance / exit 13 and the upper surface of the ceiling 14 b becomes the same surface as the entrance / exit 13 in the lowered state.
[0017]
When the vehicle 10 enters and exits the entrance / exit 13, the vehicle 10 enters the entrance / exit 13 by self-propelling and exits from the entrance / exit 13 by self-propelled. For this reason, the occupant descends or gets in from the vehicle 10 at the entrance / exit 13. At this time, the opening through which the lift 14 is lifted is closed by the lift floor 14a or the ceiling 14b, and the lift 14 is operated so that the passenger can safely get on and off the vehicle 10. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the lift 14 in which the occupant can safely get on and off the vehicle 10 is lowered with one lift 14 lowered to close the opening with the ceiling 14b, and the other lift 14 lifted with the floor 14a. When the opening is closed and there is no vehicle 10 inside the lift, or when both lifts 14 are lowered as shown in FIG. 3A and the opening is closed at the ceiling 14b, or both lifts 14 are raised as shown in FIG. 3B. The opening is closed with the floor 14a, and the vehicle 10 is not inside. This is because if the vehicle 10 is inside the lift 14 that is rising, the distance from the vehicle 10 that enters or exits becomes narrow, and the occupant cannot enter or descend the vehicle 10 freely.
[0018]
Next, the operation will be described. In the case of warehousing, in FIG. 1B, one of the lifts 14 rises with the empty pallet 1b mounted thereon, and waits with the empty pallet 1b placed at the loading / unloading port 13. When the entering vehicle 10 approaches, the entrance door 15 opens, the vehicle 10 gets on the empty pallet 1b, the occupant gets out of the vehicle 10, exits from the entrance / exit 13 and the entrance door 15 is closed. Next, the vehicle 10 moves to the lift 14 by lateral movement, and the lift 14 descends to the storage unit 12. In the storage unit 12, the actual pallet 1 a is moved to the partition space 16 stored by the lift 14 using an empty space.
[0019]
When leaving, the actual pallet 1 a to be delivered in the storage unit 12 is moved to the lift 14 using the empty space and mounted on the lift 14. The lift 14 is raised and moved laterally to move the actual pallet 1a to the loading / unloading port 13. Here, the entrance door 15 is opened, the occupant enters the entrance / exit 13 and gets into the vehicle 10 to drive out, and the entrance door 15 is closed.
[0020]
Although the above is a case where warehousing and unloading are performed independently, the case where warehousing and unloading occur simultaneously will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the operation when the loading / unloading occurs simultaneously. In addition, A1-C1 shows sectional drawing, A2-C2 shows the top view of the storage part 12, and all have shown only the required part. As shown in A1 and A2, the empty pallet 1b is placed at the loading / unloading port 13, and one lift 14 rises and stands by. In the storage unit 12, the actual pallet 1a to be delivered is moved to the lift 14 and mounted. Next, as shown in B <b> 1 and B <b> 2, the stored vehicle 10 is moved to one lift 14 and the lift 14 of the storage unit 12 is raised. Next, as shown in C1 and C2, the lift 14 with the loaded vehicle 10 is lowered to the storage unit 12, and the actual pallet 1a to be moved is moved to the loading / unloading port 13 and discharged. In the storage unit 12, the actual pallet 1 a is moved from the lift 14 to a predetermined partition space. As described above, when the lifts 14 are provided on the left and right of the single loading / unloading port 13, the loading / unloading operation can be performed smoothly. When the warehousing is performed continuously, the smooth operation is performed also when the warehousing is performed continuously.
[0021]
For comparison, when one lift is provided at one loading / unloading port, an operation when loading / unloading occurs simultaneously will be described with reference to FIG. A <b> 1 to G <b> 1 are cross-sectional views, and A <b> 2 to G <b> 2 are plan views of the storage unit 12, and all show only necessary portions. As shown in A1 and A2, the empty pallet 1b is placed at the loading / unloading port 13, and the lift 14 rises and stands by. Next, the vehicle 10 received as shown in B1 and B2 is moved to the lift 14, and the lift 14 carrying the vehicle 10 received as shown in C1 and C2 is lowered to the storage unit 12. In the storage unit 12, as shown in D 1 and D 2, the actual pallet 1 a on which the entered vehicle 10 is moved is moved from the lift 14, and the actual pallet 1 a on which the vehicle 10 is unloaded is moved to the lift 14 side. Next, the actual pallet 1a is mounted on the lift 14 as indicated by E1 and E2, the lift 14 is raised as indicated by F1 and F2, and the actual pallet 1a is transferred from the lift 14 to the loading / unloading port 13 as indicated by G1 and G2. To move. When this is compared with the case of FIG. 4, it will be understood that many steps are required for loading and unloading, which takes a long time.
[0022]
Next, a second embodiment will be described. FIG. 6: shows the parking apparatus used for the loading / unloading method of 2nd Embodiment, (A) is a storage part top view of the 1st basement floor, (B) is a ground loading / unloading part top view. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line XX of FIG. The same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 denote the same functions. The parking device used in the loading / unloading method of the present embodiment is provided between the loading / unloading port 13 and the lift 14 while the parking device used in the loading / unloading method of the first embodiment is in contact with the loading / unloading port 13. Is different in that the passage 18 and the side door 19 are provided, and the others are the same. Similarly, the lift 14 is provided with a turntable 20 so that the lift 14 can be moved forward. The occupant descends into the passage 18 from the vehicle 10 entering the entrance / exit 13 and enters the vehicle 10 moved to the entrance / exit 13 from the passage 18. At this time, if the side door 19 is closed, the occupant is blocked from the opening of the lift 14, so that the lift 14 can be operated regardless of the passenger getting on and off.
[0023]
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an operation for simultaneously performing loading and unloading according to the present embodiment. In addition, A1-B1 shows sectional drawing, A2-B2 shows the top view of the storage part 12, and all have shown only the required part. As shown in A <b> 1 and A <b> 2, the lift 14 loaded with the vehicle 10 that comes out while the vehicle 10 enters the entrance / exit 13 and the occupant is descending can rise to the entrance / exit 13. On the other hand, in the case of the first embodiment, as shown in A1 and A2 of FIG. 4, the lift 14 loaded with the vehicle 10 to be discharged cannot rise from the storage unit 12 until the occupant gets out of the vehicle 10 and exits. . Next, as shown in B <b> 1, B <b> 2, the vehicle 10 that moves in is moved to one lift 14, and the vehicle 10 that leaves the other lift 14 is moved to the loading / unloading port 13. Since the lift 14 can be operated independently of the occupant's getting on and off in this way, when entering and exiting at the same time, the entry and exit can be performed more quickly than in the first embodiment, and smooth entry and exit can be performed. In addition, also when performing warehousing and unloading continuously, it can carry out smoothly similarly to 1st Embodiment.
[0024]
Although the above embodiment demonstrated the case where the storage part 12 was one layer, this invention is applicable also to the case where it is several layers. In the parking apparatus used in the loading / unloading method according to the first embodiment, the lift opening is closed by the ceiling of the lift. However, in the case of a plurality of layers, it is necessary to provide a closing lid. In the case of the parking apparatus used for the loading / unloading method of the second embodiment, since there is a side door 19, a closing lid is not necessary.
[0025]
【The invention's effect】
As is apparent from the above description, the present invention can improve the smoothness of the loading / unloading section and reduce the number of loading / unloading ports by providing lifts on the left and right of one loading / unloading port. Moreover, the smoothness of loading / unloading can be further improved by providing a passage and a door between the loading / unloading port and the lift.
