  FIG. 1 is a side view of a mechanical parking lot 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The mechanical parking lot 10 is a so-called underground mechanical parking lot provided in the basement of a building 104 provided on the ground, for example.

  The mechanical parking lot 10 includes parking rooms 14, 16, 18, a plurality of pallets 32, a first transfer device 56, a plurality of second transfer devices 58, and an elevating device 94 that are located on the first to third basements. .

  The mechanical parking lot 10 is a pallet type parking lot using a pallet 32. The pallet-type mechanical parking lot 10 uses a lifting device 94 to lift and lower the pallet 32 on which an automobile 20 or a two-wheeled vehicle 74 (see FIG. 2 and subsequent figures) is loaded, or the first transfer device 56. In addition, the vehicle 20 or the two-wheeled vehicle 74 is parked in the parking room by moving in the surface direction using the second transfer device 58.

  Each of the parking rooms 14, 16, 18 on each floor includes a plurality of parking spaces. A description will be given by taking the parking space 14a shown in FIG. 1 as an example. The parking space 14 a includes the second transfer device 58 installed on the floor 98, the pallet 32 mounted on the second transfer device 58, and the automobile 20 loaded on the pallet 32. That is, the parking space 14a is in a parking state where the automobile 20 is parked. Other states of the parking space include a state where the two-wheeled vehicle 74 is loaded on the pallet 32, an empty state where the pallet 32 is present but the automobile 20 or the two-wheeled vehicle 74 is not present, and a no-pallet state where the pallet 32 is absent.

  In the mechanical parking lot 10, a hoistway 96 having a substantially rectangular cross section is provided along the vertical direction (z direction in the figure). The hoistway 96 communicates with the parking rooms 14, 16, 18 on each floor. A lifting device 94 is installed at the lower end of the hoistway 96. The lift frame 88 is supported by the masts at the four corners of the hoistway so as to be raised and lowered. A first transfer device 56 is mounted on the upper part of the lift frame 88. The lifting device 94 lifts and lowers the lift frame 88 along the hoistway 96.

  A pallet 32 is mounted on the top of the first transfer device 56. The first transfer device 56 is configured to be able to move the pallet 32 in the transfer direction and the crossing direction.

  An entrance / exit 12 is provided in the building 104 for moving a car or a motorcycle into the mechanical parking lot 10 or taking a car or a motorcycle out of the mechanical parking lot 10. The passenger compartment 12 is provided at the upper end of the hoistway 96. More specifically, the passenger compartment 12 and the hoistway 96 are connected through a communication hole 100 having a size that allows the pallet 32 to pass therethrough. A turntable 60 for turning the pallet in the direction of the loading / unloading port 70 is also installed in the passenger compartment 12.

  As the first transfer device 56 and the second transfer device 58, a transfer device described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-29681 filed earlier by the present applicant can be applied. That is, drive wheels driven by a motor are disposed at the four corners of the first transfer device 56. The first transfer device 56 moves the mounted pallet 32 by turning these drive wheels. In addition, the four drive wheels disposed at the four corners are configured to be rotatable about 90 ° by an actuator. Furthermore, the drive wheel is configured to be able to perform either forward rotation or reverse rotation. Therefore, the first transfer device 56 can move the pallet 32 in both the transfer direction and the crossing direction. The same applies to the second transfer device 58.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view of the passenger compartment 12. The passenger compartment 12 is installed so as to surround the turntable 60. A rectangular opening 61 is formed at the center of the turntable 60. The pallet 32 is transported from below to the passenger compartment 12 by the lifting device 94, and the pallet 32 is configured to engage with the opening 61 of the turntable 60. The turntable 60 turns the pallet 32 in a direction in which an automobile or a two-wheeled vehicle can easily move on or from the pallet 32.

  An operation panel 90 is installed in the vicinity of the entrance / exit 70 of the passenger compartment 12. The operation panel 90 is provided with, for example, a display screen, numeric input buttons, operation start buttons, voice guidance speakers, and the like. The user uses the operation panel 90 at the time of entry / exit of the vehicle, inputs a pallet number, inputs a personal identification number (if necessary), and presses an operation start button. The control device 110 connected to the operation panel 90 identifies the pallet designated by the number, and places the identified pallet with respect to the first transfer device 56, the second transfer device 58, and the lifting device 94 in the parking chamber. Command to move from any one of 14, 16 and 18 to the passenger compartment 12.

  FIG. 3 shows a plan view of the parking room on each floor. As shown in the figure, the plurality of parking spaces in the parking room are arranged in a matrix in a transfer direction (x direction in the figure) and a cross direction (y direction in the figure) substantially orthogonal to the transfer direction when viewed in plan. Arranged. Each parking space is configured to accommodate one pallet 32.

  In the present embodiment, the pallet 32 includes an automobile pallet 32 a on which the automobile 20 is loaded and a two-wheeled vehicle pallet on which the two-wheeled vehicles 74 and 76 are loaded. The pallet for a motorcycle includes a pallet 32b for loading two large two-wheeled vehicles 74, a pallet 32c for loading four small two-wheeled vehicles 76, and a pallet 32d for loading one large two-wheeled vehicle 74 and two small two-wheeled vehicles 76. .

  For the pallets 32b, 32c, 32d for two-wheeled vehicles, it is necessary to distinguish both ends in the longitudinal direction of the pallet for the reason described later. As shown in FIG. 2, in the present specification, this is distinguished as the A side and the B side.

  FIG. 4 shows a detailed configuration of the motorcycle pallet 32b. 4A is a plan view of the pallet 32b for a motorcycle, and FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC of FIG. 4A. Two storage spaces 64 for large motorcycles are provided on the motorcycle pallet 32b. Each storage space 64 is installed on the pallet such that the center line C is inclined by a predetermined angle α with respect to the longitudinal center line E of the pallet 32b. This is because, in the case of a pallet of a standard size, if the storage space 64 for a large motorcycle is arranged in a direction orthogonal to the center line E, the front and rear of the motorcycle will protrude from the pallet.

  The storage space 64 includes a fall prevention fence 82 positioned on the left and right of the large two-wheeled vehicle and a flip-up type (flap type) wheel stop mechanism 84. It is preferable that the fall prevention fence 82 has a structure such that the inside of a wire mesh or the like can be seen. Moreover, it is preferable that the fall prevention fence 82 is higher than the seat surface of a two-wheeled vehicle, for example. The wheel stop mechanism 84 is disposed at a position for stopping the front wheel and the rear wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle in order to prevent the two-wheeled vehicle moving in the front-rear direction during pallet movement. As shown in FIG. 4 (b), the wheel stopper mechanism 84 is stored so as to be substantially flush with the pallet when the two-wheeled vehicle is put in and out, and when the two-wheeled vehicle is stored, the wheel stopping mechanism 84 jumps upward to such an angle that the front and rear wheels of the two-wheeled vehicle cannot get over. Configured as follows.

  Thus, in this embodiment, since all of the wheel stop mechanisms 84 are stored in a plane, the two-wheeled vehicle can be moved in the forward direction even when the two-wheeled vehicle is taken out of the storage space. In general, since it is easier to move the motorcycle forward rather than backward, such a configuration facilitates the delivery of the motorcycle.

  The storage space can be designed to have an appropriate size according to the type of motorcycle to be stored. As shown in FIG. 6 described later, when the size of the two-wheeled vehicle to be stored is less than the width of the pallet, each storage space may be installed so as to be orthogonal to the center line E of the pallet.

As described above, in the two-wheeled vehicle pallet according to the present embodiment, there is one in which each storage space forms a predetermined angle with the center line of the pallet. When such a pallet is turned on the turntable in the same direction as a normal pallet for automobiles, the direction of the loading / unloading port and the direction of taking out the two-wheeled vehicle from the storage space do not coincide. In this case, when the user puts the motorcycle in and out of the storage space, the user must change the direction by operating the handle of the motorcycle in the narrow passenger compartment.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the turntable is controlled to turn at an angle that makes it easier to take the motorcycle out of the storage space when entering and leaving.

  Hereinafter, operation | movement of the mechanical parking lot 10 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated.

  FIGS. 5A and 5B show a state in which the two-wheeled vehicle pallet 32b in which two storage spaces 64 for a large two-wheeled vehicle are installed is in the passenger compartment 12. In addition, the dotted line in a figure represents the position in case the pallet 32a for motor vehicles is loaded / unloaded.

  FIG. 5A shows a state when the large motorcycle 74 is received. The user uses the operation panel 90 to instruct the motorcycle to enter, and specifies the pallet number and the storage space on the pallet (in this example, the storage space on the A side). The control device 110 specifies the designated two-wheeled vehicle pallet 32b and calls it to the passenger compartment 12. The called pallet 32b is engaged with the turntable 60. Then, the control device 110 is configured such that the center line C of the storage space 64 on the A side is substantially parallel to the center line D of the passenger compartment 12 passing through the entrance / exit 70, and the storage space on the A side is greater than the storage space on the B side. The pallet 32b is swung to a position where is on the entrance / exit side. Thereby, the user can move the large motorcycle to the storage space 64 in a straight traveling state. Further, since the storage space on the A side is closer to the front side than the storage space on the B side, the storage space on the B side does not hinder movement.

  At this time, the control device 110 records that the two-wheeled vehicle is stored in the storage space 64 on the A side of the pallet 32b and the forward direction of the two-wheeled vehicle.

  When the storage space on the B side is designated, the center line of the storage space 64 on the B side is substantially parallel to the center line of the passenger compartment 12 passing through the loading / unloading port 70 and B is more than the storage space on the A side. Needless to say, the pallet 32b is turned to a position where the storage space on the side becomes the entrance / exit side.

  FIG. 5B shows a state when the large motorcycle 74 is delivered. As in the case of warehousing, the control device 110 specifies the two-wheeled vehicle pallet 32b designated by the user and calls it to the passenger compartment 12. The called pallet 32b is engaged with the turntable 60. Then, the control device 110 turns the pallet 32b until the center line C of the storage space 64 on the A side is substantially parallel to the center line D of the passenger compartment 12 passing through the loading / unloading port 70. However, unlike at the time of warehousing, the storage space on the B side is located closer to the loading / unloading port side than the storage space on the A side. This is to make the forward direction of the stored two-wheeled vehicle face the entrance / exit port side. Thereby, the user can take out the large motorcycle from the storage space 64 in a straight traveling state.

  FIGS. 6A and 6B show a state in which the two-wheeled vehicle pallet 32c in which four storage spaces 66 for small two-wheeled vehicles are installed is in the passenger compartment 12.

  FIG. 6A shows a state when the small motorcycle 76 is received. The user uses the operation panel 90 to instruct the motorcycle to enter, and specifies the pallet number and the storage space on the pallet (in this example, the storage space on the A side). The control device 110 identifies the designated two-wheeled vehicle pallet 32c and calls it to the passenger compartment 12. The called pallet 32c is engaged with the turntable 60.

  The control device 110 is configured such that the center line F of each storage space 66 forms a preset angle β with respect to the center line D of the passenger compartment 12 passing through the loading / unloading port 70, and is closer to the A side than the storage space on the B side. The pallet 32c is turned to a position where the storage space is on the entrance / exit side. Unlike the example of FIG. 5, if the pallet 32c is rotated so that the center line F of the storage space 66 is parallel to the center line D of the passenger compartment 12, the wall 70b of the entrance / exit and the moving direction of the motorcycle intersect. It is necessary to change direction. In order to avoid such a situation, in the case of a pallet 32c for a small motorcycle, the pallet 32c is turned to an angle β such that the moving direction of the motorcycle toward the storage space on the A side passes near the center of the entrance / exit. To make it happen. Thereby, the user can move the small motorcycle 76 to the storage space 64 in a straight traveling state.

  FIG. 6B shows a state when the small motorcycle 76 is delivered. As in the case of warehousing, the control device 110 specifies the two-wheeled vehicle pallet 32c designated by the user and calls it to the passenger compartment 12. The called pallet 32c is engaged with the turntable 60. And the control apparatus 110 makes the angle (beta) preset with respect to the centerline D of the passenger compartment 12 through which the centerline F of each storage space 66 passes the entrance / exit 70, and is accommodated in the storage space of A side. The pallet 32c is turned so that the forward direction of the two-wheeled vehicle is directed toward the entrance / exit. Thereby, the user can take out the small motorcycle 76 from the storage space 64 in a straight traveling state.

  7 (a) and 7 (b) show a state in which the two-wheeled vehicle pallet 32d in which the storage space 64 for one large motorcycle and one storage space 66 for two small motorcycles are installed is in the passenger compartment 12. Show.

  7A shows a state when the large two-wheeled vehicle 76 is received, and FIG. 7B shows a state when the large two-wheeled vehicle 76 is discharged. As can be seen from the figure, when the large motorcycle is stored, that is, when the large storage space 64 on the A side is used, the same control as described with reference to FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b) is performed. .

  When a small motorcycle is stored, that is, when the B-side small storage space 66 is used, the same control as described with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B is performed.

  In order to enable the above control, it is desirable that the turntable 60 is provided with a sensor for detecting an absolute angle. In addition, it is desirable that the angle of the turntable that allows the two-wheeled vehicle to be taken in and out most easily is set in advance in the control device 110 according to the distinction of the storage space (large or small) and at the time of entering or leaving.

  Instead of the user specifying the pallet number or the like, the user may freely enter the empty space. In this case, the user inputs the distinction of the motorcycle (large or small) on the operation panel. The control device 110 identifies the pallet having the input vacant storage space and moves the pallet to the passenger compartment.

  Also, instead of specifying the combination of pallet number and storage space position as described above, a unique number is assigned to all storage space positions on all pallets, and the user specifies this unique number. Also good. In this case, the control device identifies the pallet to be moved with reference to the comparison table of the unique number and the pallet number.

  FIG. 8 is a control flowchart at the time of entering and leaving a motorcycle in the mechanical parking lot according to the present embodiment.

  When entering and leaving the motorcycle, the user inputs the pallet number and the storage space on the pallet using the operation panel 90, and presses the operation start button (S10). The control device 110 specifies the pallet 32 having the input pallet number (S12), and gets the specified pallet from the parking room to the first transfer device 56, the second transfer device 58, and the lifting device 94. Command to move to chamber 12 (S14). When the pallet 32 arrives at the boarding / alighting room 12 and is engaged with the turntable 60, the control device 110 is preset according to the storage space input by the user and whether the pallet 32 is entering or leaving. The angle is retrieved from the memory (S16). And the control apparatus 110 turns the turntable 60 so that it may become a preset angle with respect to the centerline D of the passenger compartment 12 (S18). As a result, the two-wheeled vehicle is easily moved to the storage space in the forward direction when entering the warehouse, and the two-wheeled vehicle is easily moved from the storage space in the forward direction when leaving, thereby facilitating the user's entry / exit operation. (S20).

  A reservation function may be added to the control device 110. In general, the larger the mechanical parking lot, the longer it takes for the pallet to reach the passenger compartment after the user operates the operation panel. Therefore, the user inputs the scheduled entry / exit time on the operation panel in addition to the input of the pallet number and the storage space. The control device 110 controls the first transfer device 56, the second transfer device 58, and the lifting device 94 so that the movement of the designated pallet and the turntable according to the storage space are completed at the scheduled time. On the other hand, a command may be issued at an appropriate time (for example, 5 minutes before).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, in a mechanical parking lot configured to be able to park a motorcycle, the movement of the motorcycle to the storage space on the pallet and the movement of the motorcycle from the storage space are always in the forward direction. It can be carried out. Therefore, the entry / exit operation of the motorcycle is facilitated.

  In addition, when multiple storage spaces for two-wheeled vehicles are provided on one pallet, the turning angle of the pallet with respect to the direction of the loading / unloading port is changed according to the direction of the storage space on the pallet and at the time of loading or unloading. The As a result, the operation of turning or turning the motorcycle in the passenger compartment during entry / exit can be made unnecessary or minimized, and the entry / exit operation of the motorcycle can be facilitated.

  In addition, since the both ends in the longitudinal direction of the pallet for two-wheeled vehicles are distinguished from each other, even when a plurality of two-wheeled vehicles are loaded in different directions in each storage space on the pallet, the respective advance directions can be specified. Therefore, the pallet can be turned so that the two-wheeled vehicle can move in the forward direction from the storage space toward the loading / unloading port when leaving.

  The mechanical parking lot according to the embodiment has been described above. It is to be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are exemplifications, and that various modifications can be made to combinations of the respective components, and such modifications are within the scope of the present invention.

  In the embodiment, a pallet on which a large motorcycle and a small motorcycle can be loaded has been described, but the pallet is not limited thereto. For example, a pallet provided with three storage spaces for medium-sized motorcycles, a pallet provided with a plurality of storage spaces for bicycles, and the like are also conceivable. Further, the turning angles of the large motorcycle pallet and the small motorcycle pallet are not limited to those described in the embodiment. The angle at which each pallet should turn at the time of loading / unloading is determined by considering the orientation of each storage space on the pallet with respect to the center axis of the pallet, the size of the entrance / exit entrance, the stop position relative to the entrance / exit, etc. An easy-to-move angle can be set.

  In the embodiment, a so-called underground parking lot in which the passenger compartment is located at the upper end of the hoistway has been described. However, the present invention can be equally applied to a three-dimensional parking lot in which the passenger compartment is located at the lower end or middle of the hoistway as long as the vehicle is accommodated by moving the pallet. The same applies to a flat parking lot that does not have a lifting device.
