<Details of pallet configuration example>
FIG. 5 shows one pallet 5 viewed vertically from below. Each pallet 5 may have the same configuration. The pallet 5 comprises a pallet body 5a, vertical rails 5b, horizontal rails 5c and turning rails 5d. The vertical rails 5b, the horizontal rails 5c, and the turning rails 5d are attached to the lower surface of the pallet body 5a.

The vertical rail 5b extends in the vertical direction, and the horizontal rail 5c extends in the horizontal direction. The vertical rail 5b and the horizontal rail 5c are discontinuous at a common portion (hereinafter referred to as a discontinuous portion L). In the example of FIG. 5, the longitudinal rails 5b extend longitudinally over the entire pallet 5 except for the discontinuities L, and the lateral rails 5c extend laterally across the pallets 5 except for the discontinuities L.

<Details of Configuration Example of Conveying Device>
The transport devices 11 provided in each section P may have the same configuration. The transport devices 11 of both sections P that are adjacent to each other can cooperatively transport the pallet 5 between the two sections P in the horizontal direction.

The lift 3 is also provided with a transport device 11 having the same configuration as the transport device 11 of each section P. As shown in FIG. When the lift 3 is in the vertical position corresponding to the storage floor B1, B2 or B3 in each region R1 or R2, the transfer device 11 of the lift 3 is positioned between the transfer device 11 of the section P adjacent to the lift 3. and cooperate with each other to transport the pallet 5 in the horizontal direction.

In the following, a configuration example of the transport device 11 provided in one section P will be described, and description of the transport device 11 provided in each of the other sections P and the lift 3 will be omitted. In addition, in FIG. 2, the transport device 11 is provided below the pallet 5 even in the section P where the pallet 5 is located.

FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 2, showing the vicinity of the section P where the pallet 5 is not located in the region R1, and omitting the illustration of the pallet 5 in the adjacent section P. FIG. 7A is a view along line 7A-7A of FIG. 6, and FIG. 7B is a view along line 7B-7B of FIG. However, FIGS. 7A and 7B show the case where the pallet 5 is positioned on the conveying device 11 of FIG.

The conveying device 11 includes a substrate 19 , a driving roller 21 , a substrate driving device 23 , a guide member 25 and a roller driving device 27 .

The base 19 is attached to the attachment structure 13 (attachment portion 13a described later) of the mechanical parking device 10 in the section P. As shown in FIG. The base 19 is rotatable with respect to the mounting structure 13 around the second vertical axis C2. In the example of FIG. 7A, the base 19 is rotatably supported by the supporting portion 18 (not shown in FIG. 6) about the second vertical axis C2. Support 18 is coupled to mounting structure 13 .

The driving roller 21 is attached to the base 19 so as to be rotatable around the horizontal axis C3. The turning rail 5d of the pallet 5 is placed on the outer peripheral surface of the driving roller 21. As shown in FIG. The drive rollers 21 therefore support the pallet 5 via the deflection rails 5d. In FIG. 6, four drive rollers 21 are provided corresponding to the four deflection rails 5d of the pallet 5 respectively. Each drive roller 21 carries a corresponding deflection rail 5d. A roller driving device 27 and a base 19 are provided for each driving roller 21 .

The substrate driving device 23 rotates the substrate 19 around the second vertical axis C2, thereby switching the orientation of the driving roller 21 between the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. When the driving roller 21 is oriented vertically (state shown in FIG. 6), the pallet 5 is fed vertically by the rotation of the driving roller 21. When the driving roller 21 is oriented horizontally, the pallet 5 is fed vertically. , the pallet 5 is sent laterally. In FIG. 6, the substrate drive device 23 may synchronously switch the orientation of the four drive rollers 21 between the vertical direction and the horizontal direction by synchronously rotating the four substrates 19 . In FIG. 6, the turning rail 5d facing in the vertical direction is illustrated with a thin dashed line.

In one example, the base driving device 23 includes a driving portion 23a, a connecting portion 23b, a plurality of links 23c, and a plurality of connecting portions 23d, as shown in FIG. The drive unit 23a rotationally drives one base 19 around the second vertical axis C2. The driving part 23a may be, for example, a telescopic cylinder. 6, one end of the telescopic cylinder 23a is attached to the mounting structure 13 (mounting portion 13a) so as to be rotatable about the vertical axis (it should be noted that the conveying device 11 provided in the lift 3 is the telescopic cylinder 23a. One end is attached to the structure of the lift 3 so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis). The other end of the telescopic cylinder 23a is connected to the connecting portion 23b of the base 19 so as to be rotatable around the vertical axis. One base 19 is rotationally driven by the expansion and contraction of the telescopic cylinder 23a. Also, as shown in FIG. 6, the four substrates 19 are connected in series via links 23c. That is, each link 23c and the connecting portion 23d of the base 19 are connected to each other so as to be rotatable about the vertical axis. With such a configuration, when the drive unit 23a rotates one base 19, the other bases 19 are also driven to rotate in conjunction with the link 23c. As a result, the four bases 19 are synchronously driven to rotate.

A plurality of guide members 25 are attached to the base 19 at positions shifted from the second vertical axis C2 in the longitudinal and lateral directions. Each guide member 25 is, for example, a guide roller rotatable around a vertical axis. When the turning rail 5d is placed on the driving roller 21, the first vertical axis C1 and the second vertical axis C2 become coaxial, and the plurality of guide members 25 sandwich the turning rail 5d in the horizontal direction. In this state, the base driving device 23 rotates the base 19 to switch the direction of the turning rail 5d between the vertical direction and the horizontal direction along with the direction of the driving roller 21 via the guide member 25. is. Thereby, the orientation of the deflection rail 5d and the orientation of the driving roller 21 are switched between the vertical direction and the horizontal direction while being kept the same.

The roller driving device 27 rotates the driving roller 21 when conveying the pallet 5 in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction. The roller drive 27 may be, for example, a motor. The roller driving device 27 drives the turning rail 5d placed on the driving roller 21 in the vertical direction by rotating the driving roller 21 when each driving roller 21 is oriented in the vertical direction. Thus, when the vertical rail 5b comes over the driving roller 21, the driven roller 21 drives the vertical rail 5b in the vertical direction. Thus, the pallet 5 is driven and transported in the vertical direction. Similarly, the roller drive device 27 rotates the drive rollers 21 when the drive rollers 21 are oriented laterally, thereby laterally driving the deflection rails 5d resting on the drive rollers 21 . As a result, when the horizontal rail 5c comes over the driving roller 21, the rotationally driven driving roller 21 drives the horizontal rail 5c in the horizontal direction. Thus, the pallet 5 is laterally driven and transported. Note that the roller drive device 27 may be capable of rotating the drive roller 21 in any direction around the horizontal axis C3 facing in opposite directions.

Note that the conveying device 11 may further include end rollers 29 as shown in FIG. The end rollers 29 are arranged at both longitudinal and lateral ends of each section P, and are rotatably provided on the mounting structure 13 (mounting portion 13a). Although illustration is omitted, the end rollers 29 of the transport device 11 of the lift 3 are attached to the structure of the lift 3 . The end rollers 29 at the longitudinal ends of the compartment P and the lift 3 are oriented longitudinally. The end rollers 29 at the lateral ends of the compartment P and the lift 3 are oriented laterally. The end rollers 29 carry the vertical rails 5b or the horizontal rails 5c.

<Details of configuration example of mounting structure>
The mounting structure 13 provided in each section P has a mounting portion 13a to which the conveying device 11 of the section P is mounted and a connecting portion 13b to which the column member 15 is connected. The mounting portion 13a may have any shape as long as the conveying device 11 can be mounted thereon. The connecting portion 13 b is connected to the mounting portion 13 a and also to the column member 15 . In the examples of FIGS. 6 and 1, the connecting portion 13b is connected to the column member 15 so as to protrude from the column member 15 in the horizontal direction. The mounting portion 13a is placed on the upper surface of the coupling portion 13b projecting in this way. In this state, the mounting portion 13a is connected to the connecting portion 13b. The connection between the mounting portion 13a and the coupling portion 13b and the connection between the coupling portion 13b and the column member 15 may be achieved by welding, fastening with bolts, or other means.

In the example of FIG. 6, the mounting structure 13 of each section P is coupled to and supported by four pillar members 15 . The mounting structures 13 of each pair of compartments P that are longitudinally or laterally adjacent to each other may be coupled to a common post member 15 located between the compartments P of the pair. Further, when each pair of sections P adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction belong to different regions R1 and R2, respectively, the mounting structure 13 (coupling portion 13b) of the pair of sections P may be connected to a common post member 15 located between the partitions P (that is, the plurality of regions R1, R2).

(Effect of the first embodiment)

As a result, in the mechanical parking device 10, it is possible to finely set the number of cars 1 that can be parked at each vehicle height.

Also, in either area R1 or R2, if the storage space S of one of the storage floors B1, B2, or B3 and the storage space S of the other storage floors B1, B2, or B3 have different height restrictions. can let As a result, the number of vehicles 1 that can be stored can be set more finely.

Furthermore, since the plurality of regions R1 and R2 are horizontally offset from each other, the vertical positions of the respective storage floors B1, B2 and B3 can be set independently among the plurality of regions R1 and R2. . For example, by setting the vertical positions at which the mounting structures 13 of the plurality of storage floors B1, B2, and B3 are coupled to the column members 15 for each region, the vertical positions of the storage floors B1, B2, and B3 are determined. can be set separately between the plurality of regions R1 and R2.
