Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an entry/exit device for a vertical or horizontal circulation type parking facility.

(Prior Art and its Problems) Conventionally, there has been a vertical circulation parking facility in which, for example, a large number of pallets are placed in a cage and circulated vertically by an endless chain, and the entrance for entering and exiting the parking facility is usually provided at the bottom end. However, in recent years, the number of pallets has increased in order to achieve more efficient parking, and the desired pallet position relative to one entrance/exit has tended to be far away, increasing the time required for entry/exit. There is.

(Means for solving the problem) In addition to providing an entrance/exit in the middle of two opposing pallet rows, a display board is placed inside the entrance to the parking lot, and the display board displays the current status of each pallet. means for storing the location and presence or absence of the vehicle;
It is equipped with a warehousing input means, a means for selecting an empty pallet based on a signal from the input means, a warehousing input means, and an arithmetic display means for comparing and displaying which side of the warehousing/exit entrance a desired pallet is closer to. It is characterized in that the display on the display panel causes the storage to be carried out from one of the two predetermined entrances and exits.

(Function) By inputting from the warehousing input means or the warehousing input means, the display panel displays which entrance/exit side the desired pallet is closer to, and based on this, the warehousing/returning vehicle selects and uses one of the two entrance/exit entrances. Therefore, even if the number of pallets increases, the time required for loading and unloading from the warehouse is greatly reduced.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the parking system of the present invention provided in the vertical circulation type parking facility shown in the drawings will be described in detail.

1 is a tower-type parking structure built continuously on the ground and underground.

Reference numeral 2 designates a cage equipped with a vehicle-mounted pallet 3, which is suspended at equal pitches by support arms 7 from an endless chain 6 stretched by two sprockets 4 and 5 arranged above and below, and rotated clockwise or It is designed to be able to move counterclockwise.

Reference numerals 8 and 9 indicate entry/exit entrances provided opposite to the ground surface of each row of suspended cages, each of which is provided with an automatically opening/closing type door.

10 is the parking lot outer enclosure, 11 is the parking lot entrance, 1
Reference numeral 2 denotes a display panel disposed inside the parking lot entrance 11. In the display panel 12, there is a means 13 for storing the current position of each pallet 3 and whether or not it is mounted on a vehicle, an entry input means 14, and information from the input means 14. A means 15 for selecting an empty pallet 3 based on a signal from the pallet 3, an unloading input means 16, and a pallet position determined by the empty pallet selecting means or an unloading input means for each loading/unloading port at the current pallet position are compared, and the loading/unloading is determined by whichever is closer. It also includes calculation display means 17 that can selectively display the opening 8 or 9.

Therefore, when entering the warehouse, by pressing the push button switch for the warehousing input means on the display panel 12 at the entrance, the pallet selection means 15 selects the pallet from the entrance 8 or 9 according to the current position stored in the storage means 13. The number of the closest pallet 3 is selected and transmitted to the calculation display means 17. The calculation/display means 17 compares the transmitted pallet number with the pallet current position information received from the storage means 13, displays the closest entrance/exit 8 or 9, and at the same time sends a message to the pallet circulation drive device (not shown). The direction of rotation and the pitch of movement are given, and the incoming car heads toward the designated entry/exit entrance 8 or 9. During this time, the circulation device is driven to deliver the desired pallet 3.
is placed on standby at a predetermined entrance/exit 8 or 9, and the door is opened.

In addition, when leaving the warehouse, when the user inputs the number of the pallet parked by the user using, for example, a keyboard provided as the leaving input means 16 on the display panel 12 at the entrance, the input information is sent to the calculation display means 17, where the input information and the input information are input. It compares the pallet current position information sent from the storage means 13, displays the closest loading/unloading port 8 or 9, and at the same time instructs the pallet circulation drive device (not shown) to rotate direction and movement pitch. The person leaving the warehouse then heads to the designated entry/exit entrance 8 or 9. During this time, the circulation device is driven to place a desired pallet 3 on standby at a predetermined entrance/exit 8 or 9, and at the same time, the door is opened.

The above embodiment described a vertical circulation type parking facility, but a plurality of pallets are arranged on two parallel horizontal rails and a vertical rail provided at both ends so that two opposing corners form a space.・1 horizontally alternately
Even in the case of a horizontal circulation type parking facility in which vehicles are moved from one parking lot to another, this can be similarly implemented by providing two opposing entrances and exits. It goes without saying that the most efficient position for the entrance/exit is in the middle of each row.

In addition, the current pallet position information in the storage means 13 in the case where there are successive cars entering and leaving the garage is assumed to store the result of the entering/exiting operation of the previous car entering and leaving the garage.

In the above description, the pallet selection means 15 selects the empty pallet 3 closest to the loading/unloading port 8 or 9. However, the pallet selection means 15 is not limited to this. Although detailed configurations of the storage means 13, output input means 16, calculation display means 17, etc. in the display panel 12 are omitted, they can be easily implemented using known means.

(Effects of the Invention) When using the loading/unloading device of the present invention, loading/unloading ports are provided at two locations, and it is determined which side of the loading/unloading port the empty pallet for loading or the vehicle-mounted pallet for loading/unloading is closer to. The display is displayed on a display board near the entrance and exit, and the display is used to enter and exit the warehouse.As a result, only a small amount of pallet movement is required when entering and exiting the warehouse, which not only shortens the time required for entering and exiting the warehouse, but also reduces wear and tear on equipment. It is possible to significantly reduce power costs and power costs.
