Next, the parking apparatus concerning 2nd embodiment of this invention is demonstrated based on a figure.
FIG. 9 is a plan view of the parking apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
The parking apparatus according to the second embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to a plane reciprocating parking apparatus.
The parking apparatus according to the second embodiment includes a point where the moving space is a horizontally extending space, a point where a plurality of parking shelves are arranged horizontally along the moving space H at predetermined intervals, and a pallet. Except for the point that the support structure travels horizontally along the moving space, the other points are the same as the parking apparatus according to the first embodiment.

Moreover, the parking apparatus which concerns on embodiment of this invention has the following effects by the structure.
The vehicle 10 is mounted on the pallet 100, and the pallet 100 is moved between the loading / unloading station 200 and the position next to the parking rack 310, transferred to the parking rack 310, or transferred from the parking rack 310, and transports the pallet 100. Since the power supply terminal 420 supported by the pallet carrying device main body 410 is connected to the relay terminal 120 supported by the pallet main body 110 so that the power supply circuit 430 can supply power to the vehicle 10 via the relay cable 130, Electricity can be supplied to the vehicle 10 from the carrying device via the pallet 100 placed on the parking rack 310.
Further, the pallet support structure 411 that supports the pallet 100 moves beside the plurality of parking shelves 310 that line the pallet 100 along the movement space H, and the pallet support structure 411 stops beside the parking rack 310. Since the pallet 100 can be moved horizontally to or from the parking shelf 310 and the pallet support structure 411 is stopped beside the parking shelf 310 so that the power supply terminal 420 and the relay terminal 120 can be connected, the moving space H The pallet support structure 411 moving in the vehicle stops next to the parking shelf 310 so that the pallet 100 can be moved horizontally to or from the storage shelf 310, and the vehicle 10 can be moved from the pallet support structure 411 via the pallet 100. Can be powered.
Further, the lift cage 411 is hung on the wire 312a and moves the pallet 100 beside the plurality of parking shelves 310 arranged in the vertical direction along the lifting space H, and the lift cage 411 is moved to the transfer position beside the parking shelf 310. The pallet 100 can be moved horizontally to or from the parking rack 310 by stopping, and the lift cage 411 can stop above the transfer position on the side of the parking rack 310 and connect the power supply terminal 420 and the relay terminal 120. Therefore, the lift cage 411 that moves in the elevating space H can be stopped beside the parking shelf 310 and the pallet can be moved horizontally to or from the storage shelf 310, and further at a power supply position that is above it. Electric power can be quickly supplied to the vehicle 10 from the lift cage 411 via the pallet 100.
When the lift cage 411 is loaded with the pallet 100 on which the vehicle 10 is mounted, the weight of the vehicle varies depending on the type of the vehicle, so that the extension of the wire 412a varies depending on the vehicle, and a special device is required to stop the system at the transfer position. Yes, it takes time to stably stop at the transfer position. On the other hand, when the power feeding position is set above the transfer position and the lift cage 411 that has become empty is stopped at the power feeding position, the extension of the wire 412a becomes constant because the lift cage 411 is empty, and the stop sensor Even if a simple stopping method using is used, the lift cage 411 can be stopped at the power feeding position in a short time.
In addition, when an identification code is attached to the vehicle 10 and a power supply reservation is accepted, after repeatedly adding the identification code of the vehicle to the standby table, the identification code is selected and extracted from the standby table. When power is supplied to the corresponding vehicle and the power supply is completed, the vehicle identification code is deleted from the standby table. Therefore, when the power supply reservation is accepted and the pallet transporting device 400 does not operate for loading and unloading, the vehicle 10 Power can be supplied.
In addition, since the status data corresponding to the charging state is acquired via the relay terminal 120 when entering the warehouse, and the status data is taken into account when extracting the identification code from the standby table, a plurality of power supply reservations are received. The order of supplying power can be determined in consideration of the state of charge of the vehicle.
Also, the lift cage 411 is provided with a swivel table 411b which can be moved up and down, and the power supply terminal is supported by the swivel table 411b. Therefore, the power feed terminal is moved up and down as the swivel table 411b moves up and down to match the height. Can be connected.
Further, when the turning table 411b is turned 180 °, power can be selectively supplied to a vehicle mounted on a pallet placed on a pair of left and right parking shelves 310 that sandwich the moving space.
Moreover, since the pallet support structure 411 is provided with a swivel table 411b that can be moved up and down, and the power supply terminal 420 is supported by the swivel table 411b, the power feed terminal 420 is moved up and down as the swivel table 411b moves up and down. It can also be connected to the relay terminal.
In addition, when an identification code is attached to the vehicle 10 and a power supply reservation is accepted, after repeatedly adding the identification code of the vehicle 10 to the standby table, the identification code is selected and extracted from the standby table, and the extracted identification code When the power supply to the vehicle 10 corresponding to is completed and the power supply is completed, the identification code of the vehicle 10 is deleted from the standby table. Therefore, when the power supply reservation is accepted and the pallet transporting device 400 does not operate for loading and unloading Power can be supplied to the vehicle 10.
In addition, since the status data corresponding to the charging state is acquired via the relay terminal 120 when entering the warehouse, and the status data is taken into account when extracting the identification code from the standby table, a plurality of power supply reservations are received. The order of supplying power can be determined in consideration of the state of charge of the vehicle 10.
In addition, state data corresponding to the charging state of the vehicle is acquired and recorded via the power supply terminal 420 and the relay terminal 120 connected when the vehicle 10 is stored, and power is supplied according to the state data when power is supplied. Since it did in this way, it can supply electric power according to the charge condition of the vehicle 10.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
