Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides vehicle storage compartments that are arranged side by side along the travel route of a transport vehicle for entering and exiting a vehicle, and each storage compartment and the transport vehicle The present invention relates to a power supply system for a parking facility equipped with a vehicle transfer conveyor that transports vehicles in a direction perpendicular to a route.

(Prior art and its problems) In the above-mentioned parking facility, providing a drive motor for each vehicle transfer conveyor in each storage compartment means that the conveyor from the transport vehicle side to the storage compartment side The structure is simpler than a structure in which rotational force is transmitted to a conveyor, and the conveyor does not require a high level of stopping accuracy, which is preferable from a practical standpoint. Among the drive motors, the conveyor drive motor of the specific storage compartment to which the transport vehicle is connected must be selected, and power must be supplied only to that specific motor.

Therefore, it is necessary to install a controller in the power supply system to the conveyor drive motor of each storage compartment, which has the function of selecting and supplying power to the motor to be loaded and unloaded.
The control system became complicated and there was a risk of malfunction.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the conventional problems as described above, the present invention has the following features:
A power supply line is provided on the travel route side as a means for driving the conveyance vehicle and a means for supplying power to the conveyor, and a power collector is provided on the conveyance vehicle side, and power supply means is provided from the conveyance vehicle to the conveyor in each of the storage compartments. In this case, a power feeding member is provided on the side of the transport vehicle, and a current collecting member that can come into contact with the power supply member is provided beside the traveling route, and this current collecting member is divided into each storage section, and the transport vehicle is in a connected state. The present invention proposes a power supply system for parking lot facilities that is configured to be able to supply power only to the storage compartments, and includes means for opening and closing the power supply system to the storage compartments on the transport vehicle side.

(Operation of the invention) When the transport vehicle is driven by electric power supplied from the power supply line on the travel route side to the transport vehicle via the current collector and stopped at a predetermined loading/unloading work position, the transport vehicle enters the connected state. The current collecting member corresponding to the specific storage area IN (input/output target area) and the power feeding member on the transport vehicle side can automatically come into contact with each other, or both members can be brought into contact with each other. In this state, by closing the power supply system passing through the power supply member and the current collecting member using the opening/closing means on the conveyance vehicle, the conveyor can be connected only to the conveyor in the specific storage section (input/output target section) to which the conveyance vehicle is connected. Electricity can be supplied from the transport vehicle side to drive the conveyor. By driving the conveyor of the specific storage compartment and the conveyor of the transport vehicle in this manner, it is possible to transfer the vehicle on the transport vehicle to the specific storage compartment or in the opposite direction.
