Description

The present invention, mechanical parking setting Bei relates having a charging function of the electric vehicle.

  Conventionally, as a mechanical parking facility for parking a car that uses an internal combustion engine as a power source, an elevator type, a vertical circulation type, a horizontal circulation type, a box type circulation type, a circular circulation type, a plane reciprocation type, a vertical and horizontal puzzle movement type, Various parking apparatuses such as a multistage type are widely used.

  On the other hand, in recent years, an electric vehicle using an electric motor as a power source instead of an internal combustion engine ("electric vehicle" in this specification and claims) Is popular). Such an electric vehicle is excellent in environmental conservation because it can reduce the amount of exhaust gas, but it is necessary to charge electricity to a storage battery (battery) instead of conventional fuel. Therefore, a parking device with a charging function that attempts to charge using the time stored in the parking device has been invented.

  For example, as this type of conventional technology, there is a mechanical parking device in which an electric vehicle is mounted on a pallet and the electric vehicle mounted at the storage location (parking location) of the pallet is charged. Forms a power supply circuit that charges the battery of the mounted electric vehicle from the charging power supply device (or the power supply device for the parking device power source) via the power supply relay unit provided on the pallet ( For example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  In addition, as a method of connecting the power feeding relay part of the charging pallet and the charging connection part of the mounted electric vehicle, a method using a charging cable with a charging adapter equipped in each electric vehicle and a power feeding relay part of the pallet are always provided. There is a method using a charging cable with a charging adapter, but in any case, large-sized gun-shaped charging adapters are more popular in recent electric vehicles because they are more electrically stable and more convenient to connect than small plugs. It is becoming. This gun-type charging adapter is similar in appearance to a refueling gun of a gasoline vehicle, and has the same form regardless of whether it is a charging adapter that uses either a 100V or 200V power source (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

  Furthermore, regardless of whether the charging adapter is a small plug or a large gun type, the recently announced electric vehicle charging palate is not different from a general petrol vehicle refueling cap, and has a large diameter of about 150 mm. It has been adopted.

Japanese Patent No. 2908940 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-30354 Japanese Patent No. 2924553

  By the way, the difference in parking a general gasoline vehicle and an electric vehicle in a mechanical parking facility is that a gasoline vehicle does not refuel inside a mechanical parking facility, so even a large refueling lid is closed. The size of the cage lid is not a problem.

  However, in the case of an electric vehicle, the charging cap is opened in the mechanical parking facility having the above-described charging function and the charging adapter is inserted and the vehicle is parked, so that the large charging cap is inevitably left open. It becomes. In particular, when the gun-type charging adapter is inserted, since the gun-type charging adapter is large, the charging port lid opens almost 90 °, and the charging port lid and the gun-shaped charging adapter may protrude from the outer shape of the charging pallet. .

  And if this charging pallet and the gun-shaped charging adapter are mounted on the charging pallet with the electric vehicle protruding from the charging pallet, for example, if the hoistway is moved up and down by the elevator car of the elevator parking device, Shelves) and pallets and vehicles arranged on them.

  Furthermore, recently, practical vehicles for electric vehicles have been announced one after another, and not only the practical use of light vehicles and small ordinary vehicles (compact cars) with a short vehicle width and a short vehicle length, but also of ordinary vehicles and vehicle widths. Application to large heavy vehicles is also planned. However, in any vehicle type, there are various arrangements of charging ports for electric vehicles, such as the left, right, front, and rear parts of the vehicle body.

  On the other hand, in general, the width dimension of the vehicle-mounted pallet in the mechanical parking facility is formed to be large so as to accommodate a large heavy vehicle having a large vehicle width and a large tire outer size. Also, the length of the pallet varies greatly depending on the type of vehicle, and there is a margin so that it can be fully loaded even on heavy-duty vehicles that have some protrusions (for example, accessory accessories such as mufflers) at the front and rear of the vehicle. It is formed quite long with.

  However, as shown in FIG. 8A, in the case where the electric vehicle EV is a light vehicle or a small ordinary vehicle, the outer shape is within the range of the roadway 23 formed on both sides of the central raised portion 22 of the charging pallet 20. It is possible to enter with sufficient space in a state where a space is formed between the vehicle and the periphery of the vehicle body, but with the charging port 57 shifted to the side where the charging port 57 is located, the charging port cover 58 is opened and the charging adapter 56 is connected as described above. Then, there is a possibility that the opened charging cap 58 and the charging adapter 56 may protrude outward from the outer shape C of the charging pallet 20 at a distance W. However, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), in the case of a light vehicle or a small ordinary vehicle, if the vehicle is shifted to the opposite side of the charging port 57 and is put in, the opened charging port cover 58 and the charging adapter 56 are connected to the charging pallet. It is possible to avoid protruding outward while maintaining the distance W inward from the outer shape C of the rising side end portion 20 of 20.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9 (a), when the electric vehicle EV is a large heavy vehicle, the outer width of the roadway 23 of the charging pallet 20 is full of the width of the tire outer size, so that it is not possible to enter the vehicle side by side. . Therefore, when the charging port 57 is provided on the left and right parts of the vehicle body, it is inevitable that the charging port cover 58 and the charging adapter 56 protrude outward from the pallet outer shape C at a distance W. However, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), the charging port 57 of an electric vehicle EV of a large heavy vehicle that may appear in the future is not limited to the application of a charging facility in a mechanical parking facility, but a flat parking lot or a convenience store. Even in the quick charging stand installed in the same place, the left and right side portions require a space in the width direction, so that it is expected to be arranged in the front portion (or the rear portion) of the vehicle body.

  However, when the charging adapter 56 is connected to the charging port 57 arranged in the front part (or rear part) of the vehicle body as described above, the detection of the front / rear protrusion regulation at the entry part of the mechanical parking equipment is usually detected in front of the pallet. Since it is performed only at a position that does not protrude from the rear, left, and right positions, even if it is determined that the vehicle has stopped at the normal position at the time of warehousing, the charging adapter cover 56 is opened by opening the charging pawl 58 at the front or rear of the vehicle body. , There is a possibility that the opened charging port cover 58 and the charging adapter 56 may protrude to the front and rear outside of the charging pallet 20.

  Thus, even if the electric vehicle EV is a light vehicle, a small ordinary vehicle, or a large heavy vehicle, the charging adapter 56 connected to the charging port lid 58 or the charging port 57 that opens greatly during charging is located outside the charging pallet 20. There is a problem that there is a possibility that the electric vehicle EV may protrude, and this problem is a major obstacle to charging using the time when the electric vehicle EV is stored in the mechanical parking facility.

Therefore, the present invention is a mechanical type that allows an electric vehicle to enter a predetermined position of a charging pallet so that the charging adapter is opened and the charging adapter is connected, so that they do not protrude outward from the outer shape of the pallet. an object of the present invention is to provide a parking facility.

To achieve the above object, mechanical parking equipment according to the present invention is equipped rode electric vehicle charging pallet, the charging pallet predetermined After connecting the charging adapter to the charging port of the electric vehicle A mechanical parking facility for charging an electric vehicle stored and mounted in a parking unit, and when the electric vehicle is loaded on a charging pallet, the front, rear, left and right parts of the electric vehicle are In addition to normal detection, warehousing guidance for detecting the electric vehicle at a distance where the charging portion of the electric vehicle does not protrude from the charging pallet, and guiding the electric vehicle in a direction opposite to the charging port to enter the charging pallet. with a guide means, the goods receipt guiding means, based on the arrangement information of the charging port of the electric vehicle, after closer fly, towards the front fly, right side fly, appropriate receipts induction of leftward fly A control device for selecting an electric vehicle, and the control device controls the electric vehicle so that front, rear, left, and right portions of the electric vehicle are within a predetermined range when the electric vehicle enters the charging pallet. It is configured to be guided on the charging pallet in the direction opposite to the charging port . “Charging portion” in the specification and claims refers to a charging charging portion such as a charging cap and a charging adapter. As a result, when the electric vehicle enters the charging pallet, the electric vehicle is guided and guided to a predetermined position at a distance where the charging part does not protrude from the pallet in the opposite direction to the direction in which the charging port is arranged with respect to the driver. Since it is made to enter, it can prevent appropriately that charging parts, such as the charge cap opened at the time of charge, and the connected charging adapter, protrude outside the charging pallet.

  The warehousing guidance means includes a normal detector that normally detects that the front, rear, left, and right parts of the electric vehicle are within a predetermined range when the electric vehicle enters the charging pallet, and a charging port. An inductive detector disposed in a predetermined distance inward from the normal detector so as to detect an electric vehicle at a distance where the charging parts in the front, rear, left, and right parts are not protruded from the charging pallet. You may have. In this way, the normal warehousing guide position is detected by the normal detector, and the guide guide position where the charged portion is shifted so as not to protrude outward from the charging pallet is from the detection position of the normal detector. It is possible to enter the vehicle while being guided by detection with a detector for guidance arranged in a predetermined distance inward direction.

  Further, the warehousing guide means is based on the detection results of the front / rear part and the left / right part of the electric vehicle so that the charging part of the electric vehicle does not protrude from the charging pallet. The guidance may be performed simultaneously. If it does in this way, it can board in the position suitable for the charge port position of the electric vehicle which gets in by one guidance guidance, and can perform efficient boarding work.

  In addition, the warehousing guidance means detects the front, rear, left, and right parts of the electric vehicle, and the front, rear, left, and right parts of the electric vehicle at a distance that does not protrude from the charging pallet. A guide device that guides with light and voice based on the detection result may be provided. If it does in this way, it can board while confirming the direction and position which a driver gets in with eyes and ears, and can perform stable boarding work.

  According to the present invention, when the electric vehicle enters the charging pallet, the charging portion can be guided and guided at a distance that does not protrude from the pallet in the direction opposite to the direction in which the charging port is arranged, and can be put into a predetermined position. Therefore, it is possible to stably transport the charging pallet carrying the electric vehicle to the storage location.

In this embodiment, since the parking facility of the use contract method is taken as an example, the parking contractor of the electric vehicle EV is arranged at the time of contract registration, the arrangement information (left / right / front) of the charging port 57 of the self-contracted electric vehicle EV・ After)) shall be registered.

  First, when the contractor of the electric vehicle EV calls the self-contracted charging pallet 20 with the “charge request” on the driving operation panel 8 shown in FIG. 4, the charging pallet 20 is unloaded by the elevator car 12 and arrives at the entry section 3. Floor (Figure 1).

  Then, the entry / exit door 7 opens, and the electric vehicle EV enters the charging pallet 20 by forward driving. Detectors S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, and S12, S14 that take in the detection information according to the warehousing guidance mode selected based on the charging port arrangement information of the registered electric vehicle EV at the time of this re-entry. , S15, S16 are selected as will be described later, and display and broadcasting of the warehousing guidance are performed as will be described later.

  That is, when the electric vehicle EV requested to be charged enters the control device 41, the “rear entry” and “frontward” are determined based on the arrangement information (front / rear / left / right) of the charging port 57 of the electric vehicle EV. The corresponding warehousing guidance mode is selected from “entry-in”, “right-side boarding”, and “left-side boarding”, and warehousing guidance is performed according to the warehousing guidance mode as described later.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the selection of the warehousing guidance mode is performed based on the following warehousing guidance mode selection flowchart. First, it is determined whether or not it is a warehousing request (a). In the case of a warehousing request, it is determined whether or not the electric vehicle EV is a charging request (b). In the case of an electric vehicle EV (non-electric vehicle) for which charging is not requested, warehousing with “standard” selected as the warehousing guidance mode is performed (c). In the case of the electric vehicle EV for which charging is requested based on the determination in (b) above, the warehousing guidance mode corresponding to the arrangement of the charging port 57 is selected as follows.

  In this example, when charging is requested in the determination of (b) above, it is determined whether the charging port 57 is “front” (d), and in the case of “front”, “rear entry” is selected as the entry guidance mode. Goods receipt is made (e). If the charging port 57 is not “front”, it is determined whether it is “rear” (f), and if it is “rear”, the warehousing is performed by selecting “front loading” as the warehousing guidance mode (g). If the charging port 57 is not “rear”, it is determined whether it is “left” (h), and if it is “left”, warehousing is performed with “right-side entry” selected as the warehousing guidance mode (i). If the charging port 57 is not “left”, it is determined to be “right”, and warehousing is performed with “left-side entry” selected as the warehousing guidance mode (j). It should be noted that such “front”, “back”, “left”, and “right” determinations may be made in another order.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the detector selected in each warehousing guidance mode operates as follows to perform guidance guidance. The detection information in the detector column shown in the figure indicates “◯: Object non-detection”, “●: Object detection”, “×: Detection information ignored”.

  Based on FIG. 6, first, front / rear direction guidance of the electric vehicle EV will be described. In the case of “standard entry”, guidance is provided by vehicle detection by the vehicle / person detection detector S1 provided at the entrance / exit 6 and normal restriction detectors S2, S3, S4. The guidance guidance is not detected by the restriction detector S2 for detecting the rear part of the vehicle and the restriction detector S4 for detecting the front part of the vehicle after entering the entry part 3 and the detector S1 is not detected. Thus, the detector S3 for detecting the vehicle on the pallet is guided and guided so as to “stop” in the normal stop state in which object detection is performed. The guidance guidance is made by selectively turning on the "forward", "stop", and "reverse" guide lights 31 to 33 provided on the warehousing guidance indicator 30 based on the detection information of each detector. Done.

  On the other hand, in the case of “rearward entry”, guidance is performed by vehicle detection by the vehicle / person detection detector S1, the normal restriction detectors S2 and S3, and the guidance detector S14 provided at the entrance / exit 6. Information is provided. The guidance guidance is not detected by the regulation detector S2 for detecting the rear part of the vehicle and the guidance detector S14 for detecting the front part of the vehicle after entering the entry part 3 and the detector S1 is not detected. Thus, the detector S3 for detecting the vehicle on the pallet is guided and guided to “stop” in the rear stop state in which object detection is performed. This guidance guidance is also performed by selectively lighting the “forward”, “stop”, and “reverse” guide lights 31 to 33 provided on the warehousing guidance indicator 30 based on the detection information of each detector. Is called.

  Further, in the case of “front-side entry”, guidance is performed by vehicle detection by the vehicle / person detection detector S1, the normal regulation detectors S3 and S4, and the guidance detector S12 provided at the entrance / exit 6. Information is provided. The guidance guidance is not detected by the guidance detector S12 for detecting the rear part of the vehicle and the regulation detector S4 for detecting the front part of the vehicle after entering the entry section 3 and the detector S1 is not detected. Thus, the detector S3 for detecting the vehicle on the pallet is guided to “stop” in the front stop state in which object detection is performed. This guidance guidance is also performed by selectively lighting the “forward”, “stop”, and “reverse” guide lights 31 to 33 provided on the warehousing guidance indicator 30 based on the detection information of each detector. Is called.

  Next, based on FIG. 7, the left and right direction guidance of the electric vehicle EV will be described. In this example, a description will be given of an example in which guidance for “getting off” is performed after guidance guidance in the left and right directions. In the case of “standard entry”, guidance is performed by vehicle detection by the normal restriction detectors S5 and S6. This guidance is guided to the position where the electric vehicle EV stored in the entry section 3 does not protrude and the regulation detectors S5 and S6 that detect the side of the vehicle are not detected. Guidance is performed. This guidance is performed by audio broadcasting from the guidance broadcasting speaker 34 provided in the warehousing guidance display 30 based on the detection information of each detector.

  On the other hand, in the case of “Right-side entry”, guidance is provided by vehicle detection by the normal restriction detector S6 and the guidance detector S15. In this guidance, the electric vehicle EV stored in the entry section 3 does not protrude from the detection detector S15 for detecting the left side of the vehicle and the detection detector S6 for detecting the right side of the vehicle. Is guided to the right side of the vehicle, and guidance for “getting off” is performed when the vehicle is stopped on the right side. The guidance guidance is also performed by audio broadcasting from the guidance broadcasting speaker 34 based on the detection information of each detector.

  Further, in the case of “Left-side entry”, guidance is provided by vehicle detection by the normal restriction detector S5 and the guidance detector S16. In this guidance, the electric vehicle EV stored in the entry section 3 does not protrude from the detection detector S5 for detecting the left side of the vehicle and the detection detector S16 for detecting the right side of the vehicle. Is guided to the left side of the vehicle, and guidance for “getting off” is performed when the vehicle is on the left side. The guidance guidance is also performed by audio broadcasting from the guidance broadcasting speaker 34 based on the detection information of each detector.

  Further, if the front / rear direction guidance and the left / right direction guidance are performed at the same time, when the vehicle stops, the guidance guidance can be provided once at a predetermined position suitable for the charging port position of the electric vehicle EV. If the vehicle can be stopped and “get-off” guidance is provided in this state, efficient warehousing guidance can be provided. Contrary to the above description, after the left / right direction guidance, the front / rear direction guidance may be performed. Either of these guidance guidance may be performed at the same time first. It may be.

  As described above, the guidance in the front / rear direction and the left / right direction is performed, so that the driver who gets into the electric vehicle EV naturally follows the guidance and guides the electric vehicle EV to the side opposite to the charging port 57. Can be stored at a predetermined position.

  Then, the driver of the electric vehicle EV gets off, for example, takes out the charging cable 55 (for example, about 5 m) equipped on the electric vehicle EV, and from the nearest cable storage box 54 (power feeding relay unit) on the side of the charging pallet. In addition to connecting to the drawn relay cable 53, the charging port cover 58 of the electric vehicle EV is opened, the gun-shaped charging adapter 56 is gripped and inserted into the connecting portion of the charging port 57 to be connected. At this time, the electric vehicle EV is moved away from the pallet at a distance that does not protrude from the pallet in the anti-charge port direction (front, rear, left, or right direction) by the one-way warehousing guidance by the warehousing guidance indicator 30 Therefore, all of the open charging port lid 58, the charging adapter 56, and the charging cable 55 protrude from the body of the electric vehicle EV, but do not protrude outward from the charging pallet 20.

  Thereafter, when the user leaves and the entrance door 7 is closed, the charging pallet 20 equipped with the electric vehicle EV is automatically stored in the original parking rack 11. As for the storage operation of the charging pallet 20, as described above, none of the open charging port lid 58, the charging adapter 56, and the charging cable 55 protrudes outward from the charging pallet 20, so that stable storage operation can always be performed. it can.

  As described above, according to the above warehousing control method, in addition to the restriction detectors S2, S4 and S5, S6 for performing normal warehousing guidance in the entry section 3, the shift-inducing detectors S12, S14 and A predetermined position where the electric vehicle EV is offset by a distance where the charging portion does not protrude from the pallet in the opposite direction to the charging port 57 of the electric vehicle EV by setting S15 and S16 and setting a method for controlling them. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the possibility that the charging port cover 58 that opens greatly during charging or the charging adapter 56 connected to the charging port 57 will protrude outside the charging pallet 20.

  That is, if the vehicle is entered according to the guidance at the time of entry, the vehicle is shifted in the opposite direction with respect to the position of the charging port 57 of the electric vehicle EV that has entered the vehicle. Even if the charging port cover 58 is opened and the charging adapter 56 is connected as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the charging portion such as the charging port cover 58 and the charging adapter 56 does not protrude from the outer shape of the charging pallet 20. You can definitely get into

  Further, even in the case of an electric vehicle EV having a charging port 57 provided in the front part or the rear part of a large heavy vehicle or the like, the electric vehicle EV having the charging port 57 in the front part of the vehicle body is "rearward". The electric vehicle EV having the charging port 57 at the rear of the vehicle body is guided and guided to enter “frontward”, and the electric vehicle is placed in the opposite direction with respect to the position of the charging port 57 in the state where the vehicle is on the charging pallet 20. Since the charging portion can be moved in a position that does not protrude from the pallet, even if the charging port cover 58 is opened and the charging adapter 56 is connected as shown in FIG. The charging portion such as the charging adapter 56 can surely enter the predetermined position where it does not protrude from the outer shape of the charging pallet 20.

  Therefore, if the electric vehicle EV that has been entered after being shifted as described above opens the charging port cover 58 and enters the charging adapter 56 after the entry, the subsequent warehousing operation such as pallet transportation can be carried out stably and promptly. be able to.

  In the above embodiment, the lower 90 ° entry type elevator parking device 1 has been described as an example of the parking facility, but the lower 180 ° entry type parking method may be used, and is not limited to the elevator type parking device. It can be applied to all mechanical parking devices that use a charging pallet mounted on a vehicle, such as a vertical circulation type, a box-type circulation type, a circular circulation type, a plane reciprocation type, a vertical / horizontal puzzle movement type, and a multistage type.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the connector connection system is employ | adopted as an example of the electric power feeding means 50 to the charging pallet 20, for example, a trolley electric power feeding line and a movable current collector are provided on the parking tower 2 side and the charging pallet 20 side. The trolley feeding system provided so as to be paired with the body may be adopted (for example, as this trolley feeding system, Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-257635 filed earlier by the present applicant can be adopted), Various forms can be adopted as the power feeding method.

  Furthermore, in the elevator type parking apparatus 1 according to the above embodiment, the charging pallet 20 for the electric vehicle EV and the general standard pallet 90 without a charging accessory are mixedly loaded. It may be 20.

  In the above-described embodiment, the usage contract method is described as an example. However, a free location method in which an arbitrary empty pallet is stored, that is, a method in which an unspecified user calls and receives an empty pallet may be used. In this case, a user who makes a charge request to the electric vehicle EV selects “charge request” on the driving operation panel 8 and “arrangement of the charging port 57 of the electric vehicle EV (front / rear / left / right)”. “” May be selected.

  Furthermore, the above-described embodiment shows an example, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

The mechanical parking facility according to the present invention can be used for a mechanical parking facility that stores and charges an electric vehicle having charging ports provided in various directions of the vehicle body.
