  Since the structures of the plurality of pallets 10, the loading / unloading space 20, the transfer device 50, the plurality of connectors 60, the plurality of power supply circuits 70, and the power supply circuit 80 are the same as those of the parking apparatus according to the first embodiment, the description is provided. Is omitted.

The parking space 30 is a space in which a pallet can be placed for parking.
For example, the pallet 10 on which the vehicle 5 is placed is placed in the parking space 30 and the vehicle 5 is parked.
FIG. 9 shows a state in which a plurality of left and right pairs of parking spaces 30 are arranged horizontally on the left and right of the horizontal movement space G.

The transport device 40 can transport the pallet 10 between the loading / unloading space 20 and the space next to the arbitrary parking space 30.
For example, the transport device 40 is a traveling cart that travels in the horizontal movement space G.
The conveyance device 40 travels in the horizontal movement space G and stops beside the parking space 30.

Each of the parking racks 90 is arranged below the parking space 30 and is a mechanism for placing the pallet 10 in the parking space 30 in order to park the vehicle 5 in the parking space 30.

The parking shelf rail 91 is a machine element that supports the pallet 10 in the parking space 30 so as to be horizontally movable in the transfer direction.
The parking rack rails 91 are respectively disposed at the lower portions of the parking spaces 30 arranged in the horizontal direction.
The wheel 12 of the pallet 10 rolls on the upper surface of the parking rack rail 91.

  Since the structure of the lock / unlock mechanism 92, the terminal surface covering member 93, and the link mechanism 94 is the same as that of the parking apparatus according to the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

Moreover, the parking apparatus which concerns on embodiment of this invention has the following effects by the structure.
The pallet 10 on which the vehicle 5 is placed is transported from the loading / unloading space 20 to the side of the parking space 30 by using the transport device 40, and is transferred from the transport device 40 stopped beside the parking space 30 by the transfer device 50 to the parking space 30. When the pallet 10 is placed in the parking space 30, the first terminal surface T1 of the first terminal 61 supported by the pallet 10 and the second terminal surface T2 of the second terminal 62 supported so as to be positioned in the parking space, Are horizontally facing and in contact with each other, and the power from the power source is led from the second terminal 62 to the first terminal 61 and led to the power plug receiver of the vehicle 5 via the power feeding circuit 70. When transported from the entry / exit space 20 and moved horizontally from the side of the parking space 30 to the parking space 30, the first terminal 61 and the second terminal 62 of the connector 60 are electrically connected to supply electric power to the vehicle. Parking space 3 When horizontally moved from the side of the parking space 30, the first terminal 61 of the connector 60 and the second terminal 62 are electrically disconnected.
In addition, since the first terminal surface T1 and the second terminal surface T2 have the same shape and are in a concavo-convex relationship, the first terminal 61 and the second terminal 62 of the connector 60 are electrically stabilized when facing each other and contacting. Connected.
Further, the first terminal member 61a forms the first terminal surface T1, and the first terminal member 61a is supported so as to touch the horizontally oriented first terminal surface T1 vertically and horizontally.

Therefore, the contact pressure between the first terminal surface T1 and the second terminal surface T2 can be maintained at a predetermined urging force.
Further, when the lock / unlock mechanism 92 prevents the pallet 10 placed in the parking space 30 from moving horizontally on the parking rack rail 91, the second terminal member 62 a is not the stroke end within the stroke S range. Since the support is made at an arbitrary position, the contact pressure between the first terminal surface T1 and the second terminal surface T2 can be maintained at a predetermined biasing force, and electrical connection can be ensured.
Further, when the pallet 10 is placed in the parking space 30, the link mechanism 94 pushed by the pallet 10 takes the posture of the terminal surface covering member 93 that can be covered by the second terminal surface T <b> 2, and the pallet 10 is in the parking space 30. Since the posture of the terminal surface covering member 93 is set to the exposed posture when it is not placed, the terminal surface can be protected when the pallet is not in the parking space.
