  By the way, in such a puzzle circulation type parking facility, ordinary cars such as sedan passenger cars, high roof cars such as RV cars and one-box cars, and so-called wide cars with a wider vehicle width due to the popularization of larger cars, etc. If both automobiles and automobiles of different sizes are mixedly loaded, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the plurality of sections 1 of the parking space PS are arranged with two types of trays 21 and 22 having different sizes. It is composed of two types of partition groups 111 and 121 having different sizes and arranged separately for each size, and at least one empty partition 10 is provided for each partition group 111 and 121. Further, the lift L common to both the compartment groups 111 and 121 needs to be installed between both the compartment groups 111 and 121. In the case of this parking facility, a partition group 111 that accommodates a vehicle larger than an ordinary vehicle is formed on one side (left side in FIG. 9) of the parking space PS. The one side group 111 is provided with a total of 24 sections in an array of 4 sections in the horizontal direction and 6 sections in the vertical direction (in the state where the automobile is in the vertical orientation), and among these sections, there are empty sections 10 in 3 sections. In addition, a lift L is installed in one section at one end of the row adjacent to the other section group 121 on one side, and a total of 20 large automobiles are accommodated. Further, a partition group 121 of ordinary cars is configured on the other side (right side in FIG. 9) of the parking space PS. This one side other group 121 is provided with a total of 28 sections in an array of 4 sections in the horizontal direction and 7 sections in the vertical direction (in the state where the automobile is in the vertical orientation), and among these, the empty section 10 is provided in 3 sections.

Although not specifically shown here, the tray lateral feed device 43 is mounted at one end and the tray longitudinal feed at the other end. The same supporting member on which the device 45 is mounted, the pivot supporting means for pivotally supporting the supporting member, and the toothed belt transmission member 6 of either the tray lateral feeding device or the tray vertical feeding device as a normal state. An elastic support means for elastically supporting the support member in one direction so as to be able to engage with either the rack 41 or 42 in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction of the tray 2, and the tray horizontal feed device 43 or the tray vertical feed device 45. A pressure tilting hand capable of pressing and tilting the support member in the other direction so that the other toothed belt transmission member 6 can engage with the other rack 42 or 41 in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction of each tray 2. Provided with a door. Here, the support member is composed of a substantially rectangular plate, the shaft and the bearing are adopted as the pivot support means, and the shaft is provided at a position offset in the middle of the support member and on the mounting side of the tray vertical feeding device 45, The shaft is pivotally supported by a bearing on a mounting plate fixed on a horizontal plane, and the support member is tiltably installed. In this way, the tray lateral feed device 43 is mounted on one end of the support member. In this case, in the tray lateral feed device 43, the upper surface of the toothed belt transmission member 6 (engagement surface with respect to the rack 41) is horizontal with one end of the support member being slightly lifted from the horizontal position. It is installed so as to be able to mesh with the rack 41 in the horizontal direction of the tray 2. Similarly, the tray vertical feeding device 45 is mounted on the other end of the support member. That is, in the tray vertical feeding device 45, the upper surface of the toothed belt transmission member 6 (the engagement surface with respect to the rack 42) is horizontal with the other end of the support member slightly lifted from the horizontal position. It is installed so as to be able to mesh with a vertical rack 42 of the tray 2. Further, a plate spring is adopted as the elastic support means, and this plate spring is interposed between the support member and the mounting plate, and normally pushes up one end side of the support member, and the toothed belt transmission member of the tray lateral feed device 43 6 and the lateral rack 41 of each tray 2 can be reliably engaged, and on the contrary, the other end side of the support member is pushed down as normal, and the toothed belt transmission member 6 of the tray vertical feeding device 45 and the vertical direction of each tray 2 are The rack 42 in the direction is positioned so as to be surely removable. A pressing and tilting means is installed in the vicinity of the elastic supporting means. This pressing and tilting means has a geared motor and an eccentric wheel attached eccentrically with respect to the rotation shaft of the geared motor, and is installed on the outside of the support member on the side of the tray lateral feed device 43 so that the eccentric wheel is It arrange | positions at the predetermined | prescribed height on the one end part of a support member, and it is comprised so that a support member can be pushed down from the top with an eccentric ring by rotation of an eccentric ring. By pressing this support member (one end thereof), the tray lateral feed device 43 that is normally engaged with the rack 41 in the lateral direction of the tray 2 is moved away from the engagement position to the disengagement position. Is switched from the engaged state to the non-engaged state with respect to the rack 41 of the tray 2, and conversely, the tray vertical feeding device 45 that is not normally engaged with the vertical rack 42 of the tray 2 is released. The tray vertical feed device 45 is switched from the non-engaged state to the engaged state with respect to the rack 42 of the tray 2 by moving from the position to the engaged position. The tray feed direction switching device is constituted by a separate switching unit for each of the tray lateral feed device 43 and the tray vertical feed device 45. The tray lateral feed device 43 and the tray vertical feed device 45 are respectively provided with separate switching units. May be installed. In this case, each switching unit includes a tray transverse feed device or a tray vertical feed device, a pivot support means for pivotally supporting the support member, and a toothed belt transmission member as a rack in each tray. Elastic support means for elastically supporting the support member in one direction so that the support member can be engaged, and a pressure tilting means capable of pressing and tilting the support member in the other direction so that the toothed belt transmission member can be detached from the rack of the tray. can do. Further, the switching unit is constituted by a support base for supporting the tray horizontal feeding device or the tray vertical feeding device, an arm and an actuator for supporting and driving the support base in a vertically movable manner, a tiltable manner, or a pivotable manner. You can also Even in such a change, it is desirable to provide an elastic support means such as a leaf spring for pressing the toothed belt transmission member toward the rack. In this way, when the toothed belt transmission member of either the tray horizontal feeding device or the tray vertical feeding device is in the engagement position with respect to either the horizontal or vertical rack of each tray, the other What is necessary is just to make it a separation position with respect to the other rack of a toothed belt transmission member. In addition, each separate switching unit has only a tray lateral feed device installed at a specific position where the tray is moved only in the horizontal direction, or only a tray vertical feed device installed at a position where the tray is moved only in the vertical direction. Suitable for

  Next, the basic operation of the tray feed mechanism PD will be described. Referring to FIG. 3, each tray 2 before operation is stopped in each section 11, 12, and the four rollers 31 in the horizontal direction ride on the carrying rollers 35 installed on a part of the rail 33 in the horizontal direction, and the vertical direction The four rollers 32 ride on the carrying roller 36 installed on a part of the longitudinal rail 34, and as described above, the toothed belt transmission member 6 of the tray lateral feed device 43 and the lateral direction of the tray 2 are normally in the normal state. The rack 41 is engaged and engaged, and the tray 2 is supported on the tray lateral feed device 43. At this time, the rollers 31 and 32 of the tray 2 are not engaged with any of the position correction guides, and the tray 2 is in a free state. Since the teeth of the timing belt 60 of the toothed belt transmission member 6 mesh with each other and the movement of the tray 2 is restricted, the tray 2 is stably stopped on the carrier rollers 35 and 36.

  When the tray lateral feed device 43 is actuated according to a control program of a control means (not shown) and the toothed belt transmission member 6 is driven in the forward rotation direction, the tray 2 that meshes with and engages with the toothed belt transmission member 6. The lateral rack 41 is fed in the rotational direction of the toothed belt transmission member 6, and the tray 2 moves left on the lateral rail 33 (starts from the carrying rollers 35 and 36). At this time, the tray 2 stably moves straight to the left by meshing with the teeth of the rack 41 on the lower surface of the tray 2 and the teeth of the toothed belt transmission member 6. In this way, the tray 2 is moved from the first section 1 toward the next section 1 adjacent to the first section 1 and moved to a substantially intermediate position thereof. Due to the length of the member 6 set on the engagement surface of the tray 2 with respect to the rack 41, the lateral rack 41 of the tray 2 is connected to one tray lateral feed device 43 of the first section 1 and the other of the next section 1. It is engaged across the tray lateral feed device 43 and driven. When the tray 2 moves leftward to the next section in this way, the horizontal rack 41 is soon pulled away from the tray cross-feed device 43 in the first section 1 and only the tray cross-feed device 43 in the next section 1 is used. Is engaged and driven. The tray 2 reaches the next section 1 and is stopped by stopping the tray lateral feed device 43 when each of the rollers 31 and 32 rides on the top of each of the carrying rollers 35 and 36. In this case, the tray 2 is reliably stopped on each of the carrier rollers 35 and 36 by the meshing of the lateral rack 41 on the lower surface with the toothed belt transmission member 6 of the tray lateral feed device 43, and this stopped state is stable. Maintained. When the next section 1 is not at the designated position, the tray 2 is similarly fed from the next section 1 to the next section 1 and driven. When entering the designated position, similarly, the tray 2 is surely and stably stopped by stopping the tray lateral feed device 43 when the rollers 31 and 32 are placed on tops of the carrying rollers 35 and 36, respectively.

  When the tray lateral feed device 43 is operated and the toothed belt transmission member 6 is driven in the reverse direction, the rack 41 in the lateral direction of the tray 2 that meshes with and engages with the toothed belt transmission member 6 is toothed. The tray 2 is fed in the rotational direction of the attached belt transmission member 6 (moves from the carrying rollers 35 and 36) and moves rightward on the rail 33 in the lateral direction. Also in this case, similarly to the leftward movement, the tray 2 moves stably to a predetermined position and is reliably stopped.

  On the other hand, according to the control program of the control means (not shown), the operation of the switching unit of the first section 1 drives the drive motor that forms the pressing and tilting means, and the eccentric wheel is rotated. When (one end portion) of the tray 2 is pressed from above, the tray lateral feed device 43 that is normally engaged with the rack 41 in the lateral direction of the tray 2 is released from the engagement position to the release position by pressing the support member. Thus, the tray lateral feed device 43 is switched from the engaged state to the non-engaged state with respect to the lateral rack 41, and on the contrary, the tray longitudinal direction not engaged with the vertical rack 42 of the tray 2 as a normal state. The feeding device 45 is moved from the released position to the engaging position, and the tray vertical feeding device 45 is switched from the non-engaged state to the engaged state with respect to the rack 42 in the vertical direction. When the tray vertical feeding device 45 is activated and the toothed belt transmission member 6 is driven in the forward rotation direction, the tray 2 moves forward from the rail 34 in the vertical direction (starts moving from the carrying rollers 35 and 36). . At this time, the tray 2 moves straight forward in a stable manner by meshing between the teeth of the rack 42 in the vertical direction on the lower surface of the tray 2 and the teeth of the toothed belt transmission member 6. In this way, the tray 2 is moved from the first section 1 to the next section 1 adjacent thereto, and moved to a substantially intermediate position thereof. 6, the length of the rack 2 in the vertical direction of the tray 2 is set so that one tray vertical feeding device 45 in the first section 1 and the other tray in the next section 1 are set. It is engaged and driven across the vertical feeding device 43. When the tray 2 advances to the next section 1 in this way, the vertical rack 42 is soon pulled away from the tray vertical feeding device 45 of the first section 1 and only the tray vertical feeding device 45 of the next section 1 is used. Is engaged and driven. The tray 2 reaches the next section 1, and is stopped by stopping the tray vertical feeding device 45 when the rollers 31 and 32 ride on the tops of the carrying rollers 35 and 36. In this case, the tray 2 is reliably stopped on the respective supporting rollers 35 and 36 by the meshing of the vertical rack 42 on the lower surface with the toothed belt transmission member 6 of the tray vertical feeding device 45, and this stopped state is stable. Maintained. When the next section 1 is not at the designated position, the tray 2 is similarly fed from the next section 1 to the next section 1 and driven. When entering the designated position, similarly, the tray 2 is surely and stably stopped by the stop of the tray vertical feeding device 45 when the rollers 31 and 32 are placed on tops of the carrying rollers 35 and 36, respectively.

  Further, when the tray vertical feeding device 45 is operated and the toothed belt transmission member 6 is driven in the reverse direction, the vertical rack 42 of the tray 2 meshingly engaged with the toothed belt transmission member 6 is toothed. The tray 2 is moved in the rotational direction of the attached belt transmission member 6 (moves from the carrying rollers 35 and 36) and moves backward on the rail 34 in the vertical direction. Also in this case, similarly to the forward movement operation, the tray 2 moves stably to a predetermined position and is reliably stopped.

  In this tray feed mechanism PD, these four basic operations, and arbitrary operations from these basic operations are selectively combined to assemble an operation pattern, whereby the tray 2 is moved in the horizontal rail 33 and the vertical direction. It is fed and driven freely forward, backward, left and right on a tray moving path arbitrarily assembled by the rail 34. In FIG. 1, the moving directions of the trays 21 and 22 by the tray driving device 4 of the sections 11 and 12 are indicated by triangular marks in the sections 11 and 12 of the parking space PS. In this case, the feeding direction of the tray in the common empty section 10 is set to 4 directions or 3 directions.

  In this way, a common circulation path 110 is configured so that the trays 21 of both the partition groups 111 and 121 can move to one partition group 111, a common empty partition 10 is set, and the other partition A circulation path for the trays 22 of the other partition group 121 is configured in the group 121 so that each tray 22 of the other partition group 121 can move. Here, as described above, the tray feed mechanism PD feeds each partition group 111, 121 to each partition group 111, 121 for driving the tray 2 on each partition 1 in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction. By being configured by the common tray guide 3 and the tray driving device 4, each tray 22 of the other partition group 121 is stopped or passed through the center with respect to each partition 11 of the one partition group 111. However, the tray 22 of the other partition group 121 may pass through any position as long as it does not protrude on the circulation path of each tray 21 with respect to the partition 11 of the one partition group 111. That is, the tray 22 may be moved in the center of the section 11 or biased to either the front, back, left, or right. Accordingly, when the tray 22 is moved eccentrically in either the front, rear, left, or right direction instead of the center of each section 11, the trays 21 and 22 of the section groups 111 and 121 are respectively provided with the rollers 31 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. 32 are attached at different installation intervals, and the horizontal and vertical rails 33 and 34 for the trays 21 and 22 of the respective division groups 111 and 121 are attached to one division group 111 at different installation intervals. The rails 33 and 34 for the tray 22 of the other partition group 121 are installed in the other partition group 121 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. Further, in this case, a pair of horizontal and vertical rails 33 and 34 are installed in one partition group 111 for the tray 21 of the one partition group 111, and one horizontal and vertical rail 33 is provided. Is used as a rail for the tray 22 of the other compartment group 121, so that the rails 33 and 34 in the other lateral direction and the vertical direction are arranged inside the rails 22 and 34 in the other direction, and the horizontal direction and the vertical Directional rails 33 and 34 may be provided together.

  Further, in the parking facility P, as described above, a lift hoistway is formed in one partition group 111, and a lift L is installed between the entry / exit floor of the automobile and the storage hierarchy of the automobile. In this case, the rails in the horizontal and vertical directions that can be connected to the rails 33 and 34 in the horizontal and vertical directions of each section 11 adjacent to the lift hoistway in the storage level of each car on the lift platform of the lift L. Then, a tray driving device that can be engaged with the racks 41 and 42 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction on the lower surface of the tray 2 is mounted. In this manner, the tray 2 is moved between the elevator platform and the two-direction sections 11 and 12 adjacent to the lift hoistway.

  Next, operation | movement of the puzzle circulation type parking equipment P whole is demonstrated using FIG.1 and FIG.4. In this parking facility P, on the basis of a program stored in advance in a control means (not shown), one compartment group 111 or the other compartment group 121 is separately provided, and both compartment groups 111 and 121 are operated at the same time. The preparatory operation is performed.

  In FIG. 1, when an entry / exit operation or a preparatory operation is performed in one section group 111, the tray 2 in one or a plurality of sections 11 adjacent to three common empty sections 10 in the parking space PS is driven. Then, one or a plurality of trays 21 on one or a plurality of sections 11 are sent toward the empty section 10. In this case, in each tray 21, the lateral rack 41 or the longitudinal rack 42 on the tray 21 side and the toothed belt transmission member 6 of the tray lateral feed device 43 or the tray longitudinal feed device 45 in each section 11 are meshed and engaged. From this state, the tray horizontal feeding device 43 or the tray vertical feeding device 45 is operated, and the toothed belt transmission member 6 is driven in the forward direction or the reverse direction, and the tray 2 is moved in the horizontal rail 33 or the vertical direction. The direction rail 34 is moved forward or backward or left or right toward the empty section 10.

  Thus, the operation of moving one or a plurality of trays 21 in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction toward the empty section 10 is repeated, so that one or a plurality of trays 21 are in one section group 111. As the puzzle is circulated in the inside, the incoming / outgoing tray (called tray) 21 is moved to the lift L while moving from the first stop 11 to the empty section 10 provided on a preset route. The When the incoming / outgoing tray 21 is placed on the lifting platform of the lift L, the lifting platform is raised or lowered to the entry / exit floor of the automobile, and the automobile is received or delivered at the entry / exit floor of the automobile.

  In FIG. 1, when an entry / exit operation or a preparatory operation is performed in the other compartment group 121, the tray of one or a plurality of compartments 11 adjacent to three common empty compartments 10 in one compartment group 111 is firstly provided. 2 is driven, and one or a plurality of trays 21 on one or a plurality of sections 11 are moved, and among the one section group 111, 3 are arranged in a row of the sections 11 adjacent to the other section group 121. An empty section 10 is provided at a location. Next, the tray 22 of one or a plurality of sections 12 adjacent to these three empty sections 10 is driven in the other section group 121, and one or a plurality of trays on one or a plurality of sections 12 are driven. 22 is sent toward the empty section 10. In this case, in each tray 22, the tray lateral feed device 43 is operated from the state in which the lateral rack 41 on the tray 22 side and the toothed belt transmission member 6 of the tray lateral feed device 43 in each section 12 are engaged with each other. Then, the toothed belt transmission member 6 is driven in the forward rotation direction, and each tray 22 is moved leftward with the lateral rail 33 toward the empty section 10. When each tray 22 is moved to the three common empty sections 10 in this way, the three sections 12 facing the tray 22 are changed to empty sections.

  Subsequently, the trays 22 of one or a plurality of sections 12 adjacent to these empty sections are driven, and one or a plurality of trays 22 on one or a plurality of sections 12 are moved to the other section group 121. Sent to the empty space provided. Each tray 22 is in a state where the lateral rack 41 or the vertical rack 42 on the tray 22 side and the toothed belt transmission member 6 of the tray lateral feed device 43 or the tray vertical feed device 45 of each section 12 are engaged with each other. Then, the tray lateral feed device 43 or the tray longitudinal feed device 45 is operated, and the toothed belt transmission member 6 is driven in the forward rotation direction or the reverse rotation direction, and the tray 2 has the horizontal rail 33 or the vertical rail. 34 is moved forward, backward, left or right toward the empty section.

  In this way, the operation of moving one or a plurality of trays 22 toward the empty section in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction is repeated, so that one or a plurality of trays 22 are in the other section group 121. While the puzzle is circulated in the inside, the tray 12 (calling tray) 22 is moved from the first stop 12 to the empty section provided on the preset route, and is moved to one section group 111. It is moved to the adjacent section 12. Each tray 22 of the other partition group 121 moved to the three common empty sections 10 of one partition group 111 is formed in a row adjacent to the one partition group 111 of the other partition group 121. Returning to the empty section, the common empty section 10 is formed again in the row adjacent to the other section group 121 of one section group 111. When the called tray 22 is stopped from the beginning in the section 12 adjacent to one section group 111, the next operation is started.

  Subsequently, the tray 21 of one or a plurality of sections 11 adjacent to the three common empty sections 10 in one section group 111 is driven, and one or a plurality of trays on one or a plurality of sections 11 are driven. When the tray 21 is sent toward the empty section 10, the tray 22 called as the tray 21 circulates is transferred from the other section group 121 to the one section group 111, and is preset in the one section group 111. It moves to the lift L while moving to the empty section 10 provided on the route, that is, while passing through one section group 111. When the warehousing or unloading tray 22 is placed on the lifting platform of the lift L, the lifting platform is raised or lowered to the loading / unloading floor of the vehicle, and the vehicle is loaded or unloaded at the loading / unloading floor of the vehicle.

  In addition, when one compartment group 111 and the other compartment group 121 need entry / exit operation or preparation operation at the same time, three common empty compartments 10 are shared between the compartment groups 111, 121, and entry / exit In one of the partition groups 111 or 121, two empty sections are provided, and in one of the other partition groups 121 or 111, one empty section is provided. One or a plurality of trays 21 and 22 adjacent to the empty section are driven, and these trays 21 and 22 are sent toward each empty section. In this case, similarly, each tray 21, 22 has the teeth of the horizontal rack 41 or the vertical rack 42 on the tray 21, 22 side and the tray horizontal feed device 43 or the tray vertical feed device 45 of each section 11, 12. From the state in which the toothed belt transmission member 6 is engaged and engaged, the tray lateral feeding device 43 or the tray vertical feeding device 45 is operated, and the toothed belt transmission member 6 is driven in the forward rotation direction or the reverse rotation direction. 21 and 22 are moved forward, backward, leftward or rightward with the horizontal rail 33 or the vertical rail 34 directed toward the empty section. In this way, by repeating the operation in which one or a plurality of trays 21 and 22 move toward the empty section 10 in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction for each of the partition groups 111 and 121, , One or a plurality of trays 21 and 22 are puzzle-circulated for each 121, and a route set in advance from the sections 11 and 12 in which the incoming or outgoing trays (called trays) 21 and 22 are initially stopped. It moves to the empty section 10 provided above. The called tray 21 or 22 of one section group 111 or 121 that is prioritized to enter or exit is moved to the lift L before the tray 22 or 21 of the other section group 121 or 111. When one of the trays 21 or 22 for which priority is given to entry or exit is placed on the lift platform of the lift L, the lift platform is raised or lowered to the entry / exit floor of the automobile, and the automobile is entered or exited on the entry / exit floor of the automobile. The During this time, the called tray 12 or 11 of the other section group 121 or 111 approaches the lift L. After the tray 21 or 22 that has finished entering or exiting first is returned to the original section group 111 or 121, the called tray 12 or 11 of the other section group 121 or 111 is moved to the lift L. When this warehousing or unloading tray 22 or 21 is placed on the lifting platform of the lift L, the lifting platform is raised or lowered to the loading / unloading floor of the vehicle, and the vehicle is loaded or unloaded at the loading / unloading floor of the vehicle.

  Thus, according to this parking facility P, trays belonging to one relatively large partition group 111 and the other relatively small partition group 121 between the mutually adjacent partition groups 111 and 121 having different sizes. 22 circulate a common circulation path 110 and a common empty section 10 shared by one section group 111 and the other section group 121, so that two kinds of section groups 111 having different sizes, 121, the installation position of the common lift L may be limited to a row adjacent to the other partition group 121 in one partition group 111 or a position where one partition group 111 and the other partition group 121 are adjacent to each other. In addition, the degree of freedom of the installation position can be expanded, and the lift L can be installed away from the other relatively small section group 121, and the layers of the plurality of sections employed in the parking space PS can be installed. In addition, the number of empty spaces in the parking space PS can be reduced as much as possible to increase the number of vehicles accommodated, and the delay in taking out the farthest tray 2 can be delayed. It can be reduced as much as possible.

  In addition, since the tray feed mechanism PD applied to the parking facility P eliminates the need for turning the conventional tray drive device, the number of components in the puzzle circulation parking facility is greatly reduced compared to the conventional case. At the same time, the manufacturing and installation adjustment can be simplified to greatly reduce the cost. Further, in the case of this tray feed mechanism PD, the tray lateral feed device 43 is engaged with the lateral rack 41 of the tray 2 and the toothed belt transmission member 6 of the tray lateral feed device 43 by the tray feed direction switching device. By driving, the tray 2 is fed in the horizontal direction, and the vertical rack 42 of the tray 2 and the toothed belt transmission member 6 of the tray vertical feed device 45 are engaged by the tray feed direction switching device, and the tray vertical feed is made. By driving the device 45, the tray 2 is fed in the vertical direction, so that there is no change in the direction of turning the tray drive device by 90 degrees as in the conventional case, and the movement direction of the tray is easily changed by 90 degrees. Thus, the movement can be performed reliably and smoothly. Thereby, in this kind of parking equipment, the entering / exiting operation of the whole equipment can be performed quickly, and the waiting time of the user can be greatly shortened.

  Further, the parking facility P may employ a conventional tray feeding mechanism shown in FIG. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, rails 92 are provided in the form of cross beams in the vertical and horizontal directions on the back surfaces of the two types of trays 21 and 22 having different sizes, and discs ( (Not shown) is rotatably mounted, and a short rail 94 is provided on the disk. In this case, a common rail is adopted for the horizontal and vertical rails 92 for all the trays 21 of both the compartment groups 111 and 121, and these rails 92 are based on the rail mounting position of the tray 22 of the other compartment group 121. Can be mounted at a common mounting interval. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, a driving device 96 </ b> A is provided in each section 11 (including each common empty section 10) and 12 of each section group 111 and 121. These drive devices 96A are made common and installed in each of the partition groups 111 and 121 at a common installation interval based on the drive device installation position of each partition 12 of the other partition group 121. In the conventional tray feed mechanism, motor-driven drive wheels 98 are provided on each of the four discs 97 of the drive device 96. Here, one of the four discs 97 has a diagonal position. The driving wheel 98 and the guide roller 102 are mounted on the two disks 97 having the relationship, and the driven wheel 980 and the guide roller 102 are mounted on the other two disks 97. Although not shown here, as described above, four arms 97 are provided with two arms, and rods are further pivotally attached to these arms, so that each section 11 , 12 are connected to each other by rods. Of these discs 97, a cylinder is pivotally attached to one of the arms of one disc 97. The disc 97 may be driven by a geared motor instead of the cylinder. Further, laterally or vertically driven wheels 984 are installed in an interpolating manner between the sections 11 and 11, between the sections 12 and 12, and between the sections 11 and 12. In this way, a movement path of the tray 2 is formed between the respective partition groups 111 and 121.

  Here, as described above, a common rail 92 is provided in each of the trays 21 and 22 of each of the partition groups 111 and 121, and a drive device 96A that is common to each of the partitions 11 and 12 of each of the partition groups 111 and 121 is provided. Is installed, each tray 22 of the other partition group 121 stops or passes through the center with respect to each partition 11 of one partition group 121, but the tray 22 of the other partition group 121 is one As long as it does not protrude on the circulation path of each tray 21 with respect to the section 11 of the section group 111, any position may be passed. That is, the tray 22 may be passed through at the center of the section 11 or in any of the front, rear, left and right. Therefore, when the tray 22 is moved eccentrically in either the front, back, left, or right direction instead of the center of each section 11, the trays 21 and 22 of each section group 111 and 121 group are rails in the horizontal and vertical directions. 92 are mounted at different mounting intervals, and one partition group 111 is provided with driving devices 96A for the respective trays 21 and 22 for the respective partition groups 111 and 121, and the other partition group. In 121, the driving device 96A for the tray 22 of the other partition group 121 is installed. In this case, a row of drive wheels and driven wheels is installed in each compartment 11 of one compartment group 111 as a pair for the tray 21 of one compartment group 111, and the row of the one drive wheel and follower wheel is installed. Is a wheel train that is also used as the tray 22 of the other compartment group 121, so that the drive wheels and the driven wheels of the other compartment group 121 are aligned with the tray 22 of the other compartment group 121. A row may be provided.

  As described above, even when the conventional tray feeding mechanism is used, the common circulation path 110 and the common empty section 10 are used in each of the group of sections 111 and 121, as in the case where the tray feeding mechanism PD is applied. The puzzles can be circulated through the trays 21 and 22, and the functions of the parking facility can be fully exhibited.

  In the above-described embodiment, one compartment group 111 that accommodates vehicles larger than ordinary vehicles and the other compartment group 121 that accommodates ordinary vehicles are in the length direction of the automobile that forms part of the compartments 11 and 12. The corresponding one side (partial outline) is adjacent to each other, but one side (partial outline) corresponding to the width direction of the automobile, where one section group 111 and the other section group 121 form part of the sections 11 and 12. The lines may be adjacent to each other. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, one section group 111 and the other section group 121 face one side (partial outline) corresponding to the length direction of the automobile, a part of which is a part of the sections 11 and 12. May be adjacent to each other with one side (partial outline) corresponding to the width direction of the automobile that is part of the sections 11 and 12 facing each other (similar to FIG. 1, FIG. 7). In the middle, the moving directions of the trays 21 and 22 by the tray driving device of each section 11 and 12 are indicated by triangular marks in each section 11 and 12 of the parking space PS. In any of these cases, the tray feeding mechanism PD or the conventional tray feeding mechanism can be adopted for each of the partition groups 111 and 121. Even if it does in this way, there can exist an effect similar to the said embodiment. Further, by setting the empty section 10 on the lift hoistway using the lift L lift platform, the operation performance can be further enhanced.

  In the above embodiment, the common circulation path 110 is provided in one of the partition groups 111. However, the entire parking space PS can be selectively selected from the one partition group 111 by changing the program of the control means. Depending on the form of use, a common circulation path 110 in a necessary range and a necessary number of common empty sections 10 may be set in necessary places. This allows the user to choose whether to prioritize the number of cars accommodated for the parking facility, or prioritize the car removal time, and this option can be changed at any time.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, two types of trays with different sizes and two types of compartments with different sizes are illustrated, but the types of trays and compartments can be changed depending on user needs and effective use of parking spaces. Three or more types may be used.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the parking space is roughly equally divided into two, and two types of sections having different sizes are provided for each section. However, the entire parking space is for a large automobile such as a high roof car. Even if you try to form a group of compartments with the same size, there are differences in ceiling height, frame pillars, etc. in part of the parking space, and these become obstacles and you can not secure the same size compartment in the entire parking space (or The space of the car is poor in space efficiency, such as the need to shift the machine core), but it can be formed in other types of car compartments, such as ordinary cars (or it is not necessary to shift the machine core, so space efficiency is good) In this case, the entire parking space is allocated to a group of the same size and a group of different sizes so that a group of the same size can be secured as much as possible. , Either by the one parcels providing a common air compartments and a common circulation path, the parking space without a dead space can be effectively utilized for parking spaces.
