The panels are fitted into holes _{No. 2} to prevent each panel from swinging in the horizontal direction.

Next, the operation of the entire parking facility will be explained.

In the initial state of the parking facility, the opening/closing door 12 is in the second
As shown in the figure, the entrance/exit 11 is in a closed state. That is, the front door body 24 has an operating cylinder 25,
26, the center panel 24a and the left and right panels 24b, 24c are connected together and land on the ground floor 8, and the fixing pins 40a, 40b are fixed.
and the engagement hole members 24b ₂ and 24c ₂ are engaged, and the rear door body 14 is suspended in mid-height position of the entrance/exit 11 with its lower part overlapping the front door body 24. , the entrance/exit 11 is completely closed off by both the front and rear door bodies 24, 14.

Assume that a vehicle W has now entered the vehicle waiting room 9 for storage. When the driver or the parking facility manager presses the "request entry" button on the operation panel, the lift device 6 first works with the parking device 1 to load the empty pallet 4 and lift it to the ground level. At this time, the empty pallet 4 fits into the rectangular hole 8a of the ground floor 8 and becomes flush with the ground floor 8. Then the working cylinders 25,2
By the rod shortening operation in step 6, each rod 25a, 2
6a is the center panel 24 from the holes 27 and 28, respectively.
a to release the connection to the left and right panels 24b and 24c. Subsequently, by driving the motor 35, the center panel 24a of the rear door body 14 and the front door body 24 rises at a speed ratio of 1:2, and the left and right panels 24b and 24c remain in the landing state. At the beginning of this upward movement, the central panel 24a is connected to the convex members 24b ₁ of the left and right panels 24b and 24c,
24c ₁ as a guide, and after rising slightly, the guide rollers 38a and 38c move to the guide groove 39.
a, 39b, and further rises so that the guide rollers 38b, 38d also fit into the guide grooves 39a, 39b.
After the left and right panels 24b and 24c are completely separated from each other, the guide grooves 39a and 3
Climb using 9b as a guide.

Then, when the rear door body 14 and the center panel 24a completely overlap and slightly exceed the upper edge of the entrance/exit port 11, the motor 35 stops driving and stops rising (FIG. 3). In this way, the entrance/exit 11 is opened to the left/right by the left/right panels 24b, 24c.
It opens with the right side partially closed, and the left side
The right and left edges of the right panels 24b and 24c (i.e., the tip edges of the convex members 24b ₁ and 24c ₁ ) are located slightly inside the left and right edges, respectively, of the empty pallet 4 waiting at the predetermined entry location. are doing. Therefore, the vehicle W passes between the left and right panels 24b and 24c and gets onto the empty pallet 4. However, as shown in FIG. Door mirror W1, W2
collides with the left and right panels 24b and 24c,
The vehicle W is prevented from entering the warehouse.

When the vehicle W enters the empty pallet 4 by folding the door mirrors W1 and W2 and passing between the left and right panels 24b and 24c, and the driver gets off the vehicle and returns to the vehicle waiting room 9 through the entrance 11, the motor 35, the rear door body 14 and the center panel 24a are lowered. During this downward movement, the concave groove members 24a ₁ and 24a ₂ of the central panel 24a externally engage with the convex members 24b ₁ and 24c ₁ , respectively, and after the central panel 24a lands on the floor and stops, the operating cylinder 25 , 26, the central panel 24a and the left and right panels 24b, 24c are again integrally connected.

In the case of leaving the warehouse, as shown in FIG. 4, if the rear door body 14 and the front door body 24 are raised by driving the motor 35 while the center panel 24a and left and right panels 24b, 24c are integrally connected, Entry/exit entrance 11
Pallet 4 opens completely and reaches the vehicle entry area
The vehicle W installed in
1 to the vehicle waiting room 9.

In addition, the left and right panels 24b in the above-mentioned embodiment,
24c, as shown in FIG. 7, are left and right panels 124b, 1 that swing when subjected to an external force in the front-rear direction.
24c (however, the reference numeral 124c is not shown) can be similarly implemented. That is, to explain the left panel 124b, the left panel 124b includes a substrate 124b ₁ that can be raised and lowered by engaging the guide pillar 113a with two guide rollers 129 that are pivotally supported above and below the left edge, and the substrate 124b. A movable plate 124b ₂ is attached to the right edge of the movable plate 124b ₂ in a hinge-like manner and is swingably attached to a support pin 125 equipped with a suitable torsion spring (not shown), and the swinging of the movable plate 124b ₂ is detected. A convex member _124b21 is fixed to the distal end edge of the movable plate _124b2 so as to fit vertically into a concave groove member on the side edge of the central panel (not shown). Therefore, the movable plate 124b ₂ is held in the same plane as the base plate 124b ₁ by the action of the torsion spring and an appropriate stopper (not shown), and the door mirror W1 of the incoming vehicle W is held on the same plane as the movable plate 1.
When it hits 24b ₂ , it swings and the limit switch 12
6, an appropriate alarm is issued and the subsequent operation of the parking equipment is prevented.

Further, in the above embodiment, the opening/closing door 12 is configured with two doors (the rear door body 14 and the front door body), but it can be similarly implemented as a single door. That is, the part corresponding to the rear door body 14 is removed, and the front door body 24 is replaced by the front door body 24.
The size of the door corresponding to the guide groove 39 may be set to a size that can completely close the entrance/exit 11.
Guide grooves corresponding to a and 39b are provided in the partition wall 10 above the storage entrance 11.

As detailed above, according to the vehicle entry regulating device of the present invention, the opening/closing door provided at the entry/exit entrance can be separated into the center panel and the left and right panels, and the left and right panels are left in the resting state when entering the warehouse. By leaving only the center panel open and lifting the center panel, and partially blocking the left and right sides of the entrance/exit with the left and right panels, we physically restrict the width of vehicles entering the warehouse through the entrance/exit. , unauthorized vehicles with abnormally large vehicle widths, including side protrusions such as door mirrors, can be stopped immediately before entering the parking lot, and when leaving the parking lot, the center panel and left side
The right panel rises and opens in one piece, completely opening the entry/exit entrance, making it easy to enter and exit the warehouse.Furthermore, the structure of the opening/closing door has been changed from the conventional opening/closing door itself, making entry/exit easy. No special space is required inside or outside the mouth, and with a simple configuration, accidents caused by unauthorized vehicles entering the warehouse can be completely eliminated.
