The present invention relates to an extremely good traverse elevating type three-dimensional parking apparatus.

  Since Japan has a high population density and high land prices, it is extremely important to efficiently park cars overflowing in the urban area because there is not enough space to park the car in the urban area. Recently, large-scale stores with large parking lots have been built in the suburbs, so the ability to attract customers is decreasing year by year in stores and shopping streets that do not have parking devices in the city. For this reason, providing an efficient parking device in an urban area with few vacant lots is an important factor for successful store management in the urban area and also important for effective use of land.

  In response to the strong demands of store managers and residents in urban areas, various types of multi-story parking devices have been proposed. For example, a three-dimensional parking apparatus that effectively uses the upper side of the vehicle conveyance path as a parking space (Patent Document 1). When the pallet moves up and down or traverses the pallet of the multilevel parking device with independent traversing wheels and rails, the traversing wheels and rails are moved at the same time to move across the steps and rows and connect adjacent pallets on the same step By doing so, an elevator type three-dimensional parking apparatus having a structure in which a long rail is formed equivalently through a plurality of rows and the pallet is efficiently and smoothly moved in accordance with the empty state of the pallet (Patent Document 2).

  However, many of the conventionally known traverse elevating type multi-story parking devices involve, for example, a locking tool fixed to a side surface of a beam and a flap attached to each pallet as described in Patent Document 3. Such a mechanism is difficult to control in order to properly engage the locking tool and the flap, and high precision technology is required for manufacturing the device. Therefore, the applicant of the present invention is to solve these problems related to the conventional traverse elevating type multi-story parking apparatus in the horizontal direction on the beam provided between the fixed columns instead of the conventional structure in which the pallet is provided with the flap. A structure having a pallet holder that can rotate in the vertical direction has been invented and a patent application has already been filed (Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-156064). A structure in which a pallet holder that can rotate in the horizontal and vertical directions is provided on the beam provided between the fixed columns and the fixed column is provided with a flap that is attached to the bottom surface of the conventional pallet. Compared to the mechanism that engages with the part, it is simple and easy to use.

The invention of the present application is a traverse elevating type three-dimensional parking system in which the mechanism of the pallet holder which is provided on the beam filed earlier and which is rotatable in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction is made more efficient and the power source for driving can be reduced. First, a pallet holder having a four-bar linkage mechanism is provided so as to be movable alternately between a position where the pallet is held on the upper surface of the beam and a position where the vertical movement of the pallet is not hindered. Provided is a traverse elevating type three-dimensional parking apparatus provided.
Secondly, the above-mentioned traverse elevating type three-dimensional parking apparatus is provided in which the pallet holder is supported by a suspension suspended from the upper floor.
Thirdly, the above-mentioned traverse elevating type three-dimensional parking apparatus is provided in which the pallet holder is provided with a pallet movement auxiliary tool for moving the pallet in the horizontal direction.

Conventionally known ascending / descending type three-dimensional parking apparatus has flaps for controlling the pallets provided on the respective pallets, and it is difficult to control to accurately engage the flaps with the fasteners and the accuracy of the apparatus. However, in the traverse elevating type three-dimensional parking apparatus of the present invention, when the pallet is moved in the vertical direction, the mechanism for holding the pallet is separated from the moving area of the pallet. As the pallet moves in the vertical direction, there is no obstacle that always protrudes, so the effective utilization rate per unit area of the parking device is increased and the operation cost can be kept low.
According to the first invention of this application, since the four-bar linkage mechanism is provided as the moving means of the pallet holder, the flaps attached to the pallets used as the moving means of the conventional pallet holder are engaged. It is possible to reduce the strength and accuracy compared to the mechanism. Further, when compared with the rotary type which is the moving means of the pallet holder according to the invention of the prior application, the power source for driving can be reduced because the operation locus is linear and the vertical movement is small.
According to the said 2nd invention, the load of the said pallet holder can be reduced significantly by supporting the load of the said floor | floor with the suspension tool hung from the upper floor.
According to the third aspect of the invention, the pallet movement assisting tool for moving the pallet in the horizontal direction is provided on the pallet holding tool, whereby the pallet can move smoothly in the lateral direction.
According to the fourth aspect, the pallet can be moved straight in the lateral direction by providing a guide for moving the pallet in the horizontal direction on either the pallet holder or the pallet.
According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the movement for holding the pallet and the lateral movement of the pallet can be performed independently by separately providing drive sources for operation.

  In order to efficiently park a car in an expensive vacant area in an urban area, pallets are stacked in multiple stages on the ground and underground, and the pallet is moved vertically and horizontally so that it can be used effectively while moving vertically A three-dimensional parking apparatus is known. 7 and 8 schematically show an aspect of moving and holding a pallet on which an automobile is placed in a conventionally known traverse elevating type three-dimensional parking apparatus. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the pallet on which the automobile is placed is a beam receiving portion provided between the fixed columns by operating the flap in the horizontal direction with a press provided at the bottom of the pallet. A mechanism for engaging and holding is adopted. However, a pallet holding mechanism that is controlled independently by each pallet as described above requires high precision for accurately moving the pallet.

The present applicant can move in the rotation direction around the engaging portion of the base as shown in FIG. 9 instead of the conventional mechanism for holding the pallet by operating the flap provided on the bottom surface of each pallet. A movable pallet holder equipped with a support is provided on the beam that bridges between the fixed column and the beam that bridges the fixed column, and a mechanism for holding the pallet has been created and a patent application has already been filed. As a mechanism to further improve the mechanism of the type pallet holder, and to move between the position where the pallet is held on the upper surface of the beam provided between the fixed columns and the position where the vertical movement of the pallet is not hindered A four-section link is used.
Details of the transverse elevating type three-dimensional parking apparatus of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which the pallet holder (1) of the transverse elevating type three-dimensional parking apparatus of the present invention is retracted to a position that does not hinder the vertical movement of the pallet. The pallet holder (1) is provided on the upper surface of the beam (3) that bridges the fixed column (2) and the fixed column (2), and the position of holding the pallet using the four-bar linkage mechanism is perpendicular to the pallet. It moves alternately between positions that do not obstruct the movement of the direction. The four-bar link mechanism used in the pallet holder (1) of the present invention means a link having four fulcrums (A, B, C, D), and the four-bar link is moved substantially in parallel. Thus, the pallet holder (1) can be moved in parallel from the position where the pallet is held to a position where the vertical movement of the pallet is not hindered. In addition, although the four-bar linkage mechanism in the present invention substantially means a parallel link mechanism, it also includes a mechanism in which the movement of the link is not exactly parallel, as a result of various experiments so far. Knowing that it is preferable to make the tip of the pallet holder (1) slightly higher in consideration of the weight of the loaded car because the car is held at the tip of the pallet holder (1). The pallet holder (1) of the present invention means not only a parallel link mechanism but also a four-bar linkage mechanism including the parallel link mechanism.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the pallet holder (1) of the transverse elevating type three-dimensional parking apparatus of the present invention is moved to a position where the pallet can be held. The pallet holder (1) shown in FIG. 2 is obtained by translating the pallet holder (1) shown in FIG. 1 as it is. The movement and function of each pallet holder (1) shown in FIG. There is no difference from 1).
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the transverse elevating type multi-story parking apparatus of the present invention is a pallet holder (1) using a four-bar linkage mechanism, so that the position of holding the pallet and the vertical direction of the pallet are Since the movement between the positions not hindering the movement is performed by a simple parallel movement, not only the power energy for operating the pallet holder (1) is required, but also the pallet holder (1) of the present invention is a conventional one. It is also excellent in that high precision is not required unlike a pallet holder that operates a flap provided at the bottom of each pallet.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the pallet holding portion having the four-bar linkage mechanism is retracted to a position that does not hinder the vertical movement of the pallet. On the other hand, FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the pallet holding part having the four-bar linkage mechanism is moved to a position for holding the pallet.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the pallet holder (1) of the present invention has high strength suspended from the upper floor so that the pallet holder (1) can freely move at both ends of the pallet holder (1). It is supported by a hanger (4) formed of a flexible member. In the present invention, the both ends of the pallet holder (1) are supported by the hanger (4) as described above. By using this hanger (4), the pallet on which the automobile is placed can be used as the pallet holder. It is possible to hold the pallet safely and with less force compared to the case of holding only with (1).

FIG. 5 shows a state in which both ends of the pallet (5) are held by the pallet holder and the pallet holder is supported by the hanger (4). Further, a movement assisting tool (6) such as a rotating roller for moving the pallet (5) in parallel is provided at both ends of the pallet (5). FIG. 6 is a side view showing a state in which the pallet (5) on which the automobile (8) is placed is held by the pallet holder (1). As is apparent from the side view of the pallet (5) on which the automobile (8) is placed, the pallet (5) is held at both ends by a pallet holder (1) having a four-bar linkage mechanism. .
One pallet holder (1) is provided with a pallet movement auxiliary tool (6) such as a rotating body for easily moving the pallet in the horizontal direction, but the pallet holder (1) on the opposite side. Alternatively, one of the pallets (5) is provided with a guide (7) having a concave portion or a convex portion so that the pallet (5) can move along the track.

  Note that the number and type of the drive sources (9) in the transverse elevating type three-dimensional parking apparatus of the present invention are not particularly determined. However, a method for separately moving a pallet holding position and a position not obstructing the vertical movement of the pallet, a movement of the pallet in the horizontal direction, and a movement of the pallet in the vertical direction. Is preferable because it can quickly cope with operational troubles.

  Providing an efficient parking device in an urban area with few parking spaces is indispensable especially for successful management of a small-scale store in an urban area, and also makes effective use of land.
