DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a circulation parking facility equipped with a circulation transfer path for circulating a plurality of pallets to be mounted on a vehicle.

(Prior Art) In general, circulation parking equipment has a structure in which a circulation transfer path for circulating a plurality of pallets mounted on vehicles and a vehicle loading/unloading section above the path are connected by a lift for raising and lowering the pallets. . In this circulation parking facility, a turntable is provided in the vehicle loading/unloading section, a pallet supported by a lift is fitted into a pallet fitting opening provided at the center of the turntable, and the pallet is turned in the fitted state. Normally, the table is rotated (see, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-5539).

Therefore, when entering the warehouse, the driver advances the vehicle from the entrance of the building onto an empty pallet that is placed in the entry/exit section by a lift, and when leaving the warehouse, the vehicle is placed in the same position as when entering the warehouse.
Even if the vehicle is lifted into the loading/unloading section by a lift with the rear of the vehicle facing the above-mentioned entrance/exit, by changing the direction of the vehicle by 180 degrees with the above-mentioned turning means, the driver can move the vehicle forward and exit from the above-mentioned loading/unloading entrance. It will be as much as possible.

Of course, it is also possible to change the direction of the vehicle using the turning means when entering the warehouse and move it to the circulation transfer path using a lift, so that the direction of the vehicle does not change when leaving the warehouse.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) Incidentally, the above-mentioned vehicle loading/unloading section is often provided on the first floor of a building facing the road, but generally the area adjacent to the loading/unloading section on the first floor is a store. It is usually used for highly profitable purposes such as However, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, if an entry/exit section is provided on the first floor,
A large space must be secured there for vehicles to turn around, and even if this first floor is to be used for profitable purposes, there is a problem in that the usable space becomes narrow. Furthermore, the method of turning the vehicle by fitting the pallet into the turntable requires a large turntable, and such turning means increases the manufacturing cost of the parking equipment.

(Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention solves the above problem by changing the direction of the vehicle at the parking section where the vehicle is stored, instead of changing the direction of the vehicle at the loading/unloading section. In this way, a large space is not required for the loading/unloading section, and the direction of the vehicle can be changed with a simple structure.

That is, the circulation type parking facility according to claim (1) of the present invention includes a parking section provided with a circulation transfer path for circulating a plurality of pallets for mounting on vehicles, and a vehicle provided above or below this parking section. a lift for lifting and lowering pallets that connects the loading/unloading section with a circulation transfer path of the parking section; and a turning means provided on the lift for rotating the pallet around a vertical axis in the parking section. It is characterized by having the following.

Further, the circulation parking equipment according to claim (2) includes a parking section provided with a circulation transfer path for circulating a plurality of pallets for mounting on vehicles on a transfer rail, and a parking section provided above or below the parking section. A lift for lifting and lowering pallets, which has a pallet support rail connectable to the loading/unloading section of the vehicle, and a pallet support rail that connects the loading/unloading section and the circulation transfer path of the parking section; A swing means for swinging the provided pallet around a vertical axis in the parking section, and the support rail and the swing means are provided so as to be movable up and down relative to each other on a lift. The circulating parking facility according to (3) includes a parking section provided with a circulation path for circulating a plurality of pallets loaded on vehicles on transfer rails, and a parking section provided above or below the parking section for vehicles. an unloading section; a lift for lifting and lowering pallets that has a pallet support rail connectable to the transfer rail and connects the loading/unloading section and the circulation transfer path of the parking section; The present invention is characterized in that it is provided with a turning means that faces the pallet raised and lowered by the lift from below or above, receives the pallet from the lift, and turns the pallet around a vertical axis.

(Function) In the parking facility according to claim (1), a lift is used to advance a vehicle onto an empty pallet positioned in the loading/unloading section, and the vehicle is transported to the parking section using the lift. The direction of the vehicle can be changed by the turning means provided on the lift and transferred to the circulation transfer path, and the direction of the vehicle transferred from the circulation transfer path to the lift can be changed at the parking section by the turning means to enter and exit the parking area. There is no need to change direction of the vehicle at the loading/unloading department.

In the parking facility according to claim (2), since the pallet support rail and the turning means can move up and down relative to each other on the lift, only the pallet can be turned while the pallet is moved from the support rail to the turning means. without having to change the orientation of the support rails on the lift.

In the parking facility according to claim (3), the direction of the vehicle is changed using the turning means provided at a fixed position in the parking section, but there is no need to provide the turning means on the lift.

(Effect of the Invention) Therefore, according to the invention of claim (1), by providing the lift with a turning means for turning the pallet, it is possible to change the direction of the vehicle in the parking area, so that the vehicle can be turned around in the parking area. There is no need to secure a space for vehicles to change direction, the space occupied by this entry/exit area can be narrowed and the space around it can be used more effectively, and a large turntable is no longer required, so the parking equipment can be reduced accordingly. Manufacturing costs can be reduced.

Further, according to the invention of claim (2), since the pallet support rail and the turning means are relatively movable up and down on the lift so that only the pallet can be turned, the support rail on the lift can always be positioned in the same direction as the fixed rail of the circulation transfer path, making it easy to connect to this fixed rail.
Even if a chain is used for the lift, the support rail does not need to rotate, so there is no problem of interference with the chain.
In addition, since the support rail and the swing means are independent, the structure can be simplified, and since the swing means does not need to swing the support rail, the burden on the swing means is lightened, which is advantageous in terms of load resistance. becomes.

Next, according to the invention of claim (3), since the turning means is provided at a fixed position in the parking section and is independent from the lift, the structure of the lift is simplified and the lift does not need to support the turning means. This reduces the burden and is advantageous in terms of load resistance.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

<Embodiment 1> In this embodiment, the invention of claim (1) is applied to a multi-layer horizontal circulation type parking facility, and is shown in FIGS. 1 to 5.

FIG. 1 (schematic plan view) shows a horizontal circulation path 1 of this parking facility. That is, this circulation transfer path 1 is configured such that a plurality of pallets 2 to be mounted on a vehicle can be arranged in two rows in parallel, and each row is provided with means 3, 3 for transversely transporting the pallets 2. 2 pallets at each end

Further, 5 is a hoistway for the pallets 2 by a lift, which will be described later, and is attached to one end of the two rows. The present embodiment is a multi-layer circulation type parking facility, and as shown in FIG. 2, the circulation transfer path 1 is provided in two layers, upper and lower.

That is, in FIG. 2, the circulation transfer path 1°1 is provided in the parking section 6 on the basement floor of the building, and is located above the parking section 6 at the location of the hoistway 5, that is, on the first floor, as also shown in FIG. An entry/exit section 7 for vehicles A is provided. The parking section 6 and the loading/unloading section 7 communicate with each other through a pallet fitting entrance 8 opened on the first floor. have been contacted.

In addition, each pallet 2 is provided with L-shaped and inverted-shaped connectors, that is, female and male connectors, on both sides, and these connectors connect pallets 2°2 adjacent to each other in the lateral feed direction. At the same time, it can be removed in the vertical feed direction. Incidentally, as the above-mentioned lateral feeding means 3, a screw feeding means (not shown) is adopted which feeds the pallet 2 by engaging the pallet 2 with a screw rod arranged in the lateral feeding direction. On the other hand, as the vertical feeding means 4, a chain conveyor (not shown) is adopted.

The lift 9 has a chain 1 suspended between an upper sprocket 11 located near the pallet insertion opening 8 and a lower sprocket 12 located below the lower circulation transfer path 1.
3.

That is, four pillars 14 are erected in the hoistway 5, corresponding to the four corners of the rectangular pallet 1, as shown in FIG. The sprocket 11.1 is attached to the upper and lower shafts 15, 16 installed on the two adjacent columns 14.14.
2 are attached in pairs. Therefore, 4
Four chains 13 are provided corresponding to the book supports 14. In this case, a reduction gear 17.17 is directly connected to the lower shaft 16.16, and both reduction gears 17.
A drive motor 18 is connected to 17 via a transmission shaft 19.19.

The four chains 13 are connected to the four corners of a rectangular lifting platform 21, and the lifting platform 21 supports a turning means 22 for supporting and rotating the pallet 2. The turning means 22 includes a support stand 22a that supports the pallet 2, and a drive means 22b that makes the support stand 22a turn around a vertical axis with respect to the lifting table 21.

The turning means 22 is moved by a screw-type moving means (not shown) a predetermined distance 9 from the center O of the lifting table 21 to the circulation transfer path 1 side with respect to the lifting table 21. It is made possible.

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

When entering the warehouse, first move the empty pallet 2 onto the lift 9 above.
It is supported by the turning means 22 and raised, and is fitted into the fitting opening 8 of the storage/unloading section 7. Thereby, the driver can move the vehicle A forward and place the empty pallet 2 on the empty pallet 2.

After vehicle A is loaded onto pallet 2, lift 9
is moved downward to position the support base 22a of the rotating means 22 at a delivery position relative to the circulation transfer path 1 in the upper layer, that is, at the height of the circulation transfer path 1, for example. At this time, the pallet 2 of the support stand 22a is connected to the pallet 2 located at the end of the circulation transfer path 1 by a connector on its side surface. Then, the stored pallet 2 is transversely transported together with other pallets 2 by the operation of the transverse transport means 3, and is drawn into the circulation transfer path 1.

When entering the circulation transfer path 1 in the lower layer, the above-mentioned turning means 2
The only difference is the positioning height of the second support stand 22a, which is the same as the case of the upper layer.

When leaving the warehouse, first, the horizontal feeding means 3 or the vertical feeding means 4 are operated to circulate each pallet 2 in the circulation transfer path 1, so that the pallet 2 carrying the target vehicle A is moved to the adjacent hoistway 5. send to position. Then, the target pallet 2 is moved by the cross-feeding means 3 to the support stand 22a of the turning means 22 positioned at the delivery position.

Next, by the lifting operation of the lift 9, the pallet 2 of the turning means 22 is slightly raised, and this pallet 2 and the circulation transfer path 1 are
After the pallet 2 is disconnected from the pallet 2, the horizontal feeding means 3 or the vertical feeding means 4 is operated to make the position adjacent to the hoistway 5 in the circulation transfer path 1 a vacant space where the pallet 2 is not present. The purpose of forming this vacant seat is to ensure a turning space for the pallet.

Then, the turning means 22 is moved a predetermined distance 9 to the circulation transfer path 1 side by the moving means on the lifting platform 21, and the pallet 2
Vehicle A changes direction by turning 180 degrees. In this case, the movement of the predetermined distance 9 is performed within a range that does not interfere with the pallet 2 of the circulation transfer path 1 or the vehicle A in a 90 degree turning state, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. As a result, compared to the case where the above-mentioned movement is not performed, the pallet 2 rotating on the wall 23 of the building opposite to the circulation transfer path 1
The parking area can be moved closer to the hoistway 5 without causing interference with the parking area, and the space required for the parking area 6 can be reduced accordingly.

Then, after the above direction change is completed, the lift 9 is raised and the pallet 2 is inserted into the insertion opening 8 of the loading/unloading section 7. Thereby, the driver can move the vehicle A forward and take it out from the loading/unloading section 7 onto the road without changing direction.

Regarding the above-mentioned movement by the predetermined distance, when the pallet 2 on the rotating means 22 is connected to the pallet 2 on the circulation transfer path 1 at the time of storage, the rotating means 22 is moved toward the wall 23 on the contrary.

Further, the direction change of the vehicle A may be performed within the parking section 6 when entering the parking lot instead of when leaving the parking lot.

Therefore, according to the above-mentioned parking facility, since the direction of the vehicle A can be changed within the parking section 6, there is no need to provide a large turning means such as a turntable in the parking section 7. The space required for the section 7 can be reduced, and manufacturing costs can also be reduced.

<Embodiment 2> In this embodiment, the invention of claim (2) is applied to a vertical circulation type parking facility, and is shown in FIGS. 6 to 11.

That is, in the parking facility of this example, a vertical circulation transfer path 32 is provided in the parking section 31, and the vertical transfer path 32 is formed by connecting both ends of horizontal transfer sections of upper and lower layers by an upper and lower transfer section. The loading/unloading section 3 is connected through the pallet fitting opening 33 above
4, and the parking section 31 and the loading/unloading section 34 are connected by a lift 35.

In the circulation transfer path 32, fixed rails 36, 36 are provided in the upper layer lateral transfer portion at intervals at the lift 35 portion, and fixed rails 36 are provided in the lower layer lateral transfer portion over the teeth and the teeth. Furthermore, movable rails 37 that move up and down are provided on the vertical transfer portions on both sides thereof.

That is, the upper lateral transfer section is provided with mutually independent lateral transfer means 38,38 on both sides of the lift 35, and the lower lateral transfer section is provided with one lateral transfer means 38, each of which is connected to a fixed rail 36. The pallet 2 with wheels engaged therewith is transported laterally. On the other hand, the vertical transfer section is provided with vertical feeding means 41.41. As shown in FIG. 7, this vertical feeding means 41 is constructed by attaching sprockets 45 to vertical shafts 43 and 44 provided on four pillars 42 and suspending a chain 46 in the same way as in the first embodiment. , the movable rail 37 is coupled to this chain 46. Note that the drive mechanism of the chain 46 is the same as that of the lift 9 of the first embodiment, and its illustration is omitted.

When transferring the pallet 2 in circulation, in the case of horizontal feeding, the movable rail 37 of the vertical transfer section is moved to the fixed rail 36 of the horizontal transfer section.
In addition, a support rail 57 of a lift, which will be described later, is connected to a fixed rail 36.degree. 36 of the upper lateral transfer section, and the lateral transfer means 38 is operated. In the case of vertical feeding, the movable rail 3 is moved by the operation of the vertical feeding means 41.
7 is moved between the upper and lower lateral transfer sections.

Like the lift 9 of the first embodiment, the lift 35 has sprockets 5 on upper and lower shafts 52 and 53 provided on four pillars 51.
A lifting platform 56 is connected to the chain 55, and a pair of support rails 57 and 57 for supporting the pallet 2 are mounted on the lifting platform 56. A turning means 58 is provided for causing the movement. The turning means 58 includes a support stand 58a that supports the pallet 2, and a drive means 58b that makes the support stand 58a turn around a vertical axis with respect to the lifting table 56. The support rail 57 and the turning means 58
is relatively movable up and down on the lifting platform 56.

That is, in the case of this example, the support rail 57, as shown in FIGS. It is made to be able to move up and down freely on the top. At both ends of the support rail 57, engaging portions 5 protrude in the longitudinal direction.
7a is provided, and this engaging portion 57a engages with the step portion 36a at the end of the fixed rail 36° 36 of the upper lateral transfer portion from above. On the other hand, the above-mentioned turning means 58
6, and the support rail 57 is at the lower end position of the guide means 59, that is, when the lifting platform 56
When the support base 58a of the rotating means 58 is in contact with the upper surface of the
It is set to be lower than the

Therefore, as the lifting platform 56 is lowered, the support rail 5
7 engages with and rides on the fixed rail 36 of the upper lateral transfer section to stop the descent, but the turning means 58 can further descend together with the lifting platform 56. On the other hand, as the elevator platform 56 is ascended, the support rail 57 remains on the fixed rail 36, and only the pivoting means 58 rises to project the upper end of the support platform 57a above the support rail 57. It turns out.

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

When entering the warehouse, use the pallet insertion opening 3 as in Example 1.
3, the vehicle A is mounted on the empty pallet 2 fitted in the upper lateral transfer section 3, and the support rail 57 of the lifting platform 56 is engaged with and connected to the fixed rail 36 of the upper lateral transfer section by the lowering operation of the lift 35. Vehicle A was stored as described above due to the operation of
are transferred together with the pallet 2 to the fixed rail 36, that is, to the circulation transfer path 32.

In this case, the pallet 2 is on the support stand 58a of the turning means 58 during the above-mentioned descent, but when the support rail 57 is connected to the fixed rail 36, the turning means 58 is lowered due to the lowering of the lifting table 56. Since the support rail 57 will rise relatively, the pallet 2 will be transferred to the support rail 5. Further, when the pallet 2 is transferred in a circular manner, the support rail 57 of the lift 35 is kept connected to the fixed rail 36, and used for this circular transfer.

When leaving the warehouse, the pallet 2 on which the target vehicle A is mounted is transferred onto the support rail 57 of the lift by the above-mentioned circulation transfer. Then, by raising the lifting platform 56,
The turning means 58 is raised as shown in FIG. 11, and the vehicle A to be taken out of the warehouse is picked up from the support rail 57 together with the pallet 2 onto the support stand 58a of the turning means 58. At that time, the pallet 2 at the upper end position of the vertical transfer section on one side
At the same time, the two lateral transport means 38, 38 of the upper lateral transport section are operated to make both sides of the lift 35 empty. After that, the pallet 2 is moved by the operation of the turning means 58.
The direction of vehicle A is changed by making a turn. Then, the lifting platform 56 is raised by the lift 35, the pallet 2 is inserted into the insertion opening 33, and the vehicle A is taken out from the pallet 2.

Therefore, in the case of this embodiment, the pallet 2 is placed on the lift 35.
Since only the pallet 2 can be rotated with the support rail 57 transferred from the support rail 57 to the rotation means 58, and there is no need to change the direction of the support rail 57 of the lift 35, the support rail 57 is always connected to the fixed rail 36 of the circulation transfer path. This means that it can be positioned in the same direction.

In this embodiment, the swing means 58 is fixed to the lifting platform 56 so that the support rail 57 can be moved up and down, but it is also possible to fix the support rail and move the swing means up and down with a jack or the like. good.

<Embodiment 3> In this embodiment, the invention of claim (3) is applied to a vertical circulation type parking facility, and is shown in FIGS. 12 to 14.

That is, in the parking facility of this example, a vertical circulation transfer path 62 is provided in the parking section 61, with one end of the upper and lower two-layer horizontal transfer section connected by the upper and lower transfer sections, and the other end connected by the lift 65, A loading/unloading section 64 is provided above the hoistway 69 provided by the lift 65 via a pallet fitting opening 63, and the parking section 61 and the loading/unloading section 64 are communicated by the lift 65. A turning means 70 faces the pallet 2 which is raised and lowered by the lift 65 in the hoistway 69 from below.

The circulation transfer path 62 includes fixed rails 66, 66 provided in the upper and lower lateral transfer sections, and movable rails 67 provided in the upper and lower transfer sections. That is, the upper and lower lateral transfer sections are provided with lateral transfer means 68, 68 similar to the second embodiment, and the upper and lower transfer sections are provided with four pillars 7 as in the second embodiment.
A sprocket 75 is attached to the upper and lower shafts 73 and 74 provided on the upper and lower shafts 2, and a chain 76 is suspended therefrom, and a vertical feeding means 71 is provided in which the movable rail 67 is connected to the chain 76.

The lift 65 extends from the lower side of the lower lateral transfer part to the fitting opening 63, and similarly to the lift 35 of the second embodiment, a sprocket 84 is attached to the upper and lower shafts 82° 83 provided on the four pillars 81. A support rail 87 for supporting the pallet 2 is connected to the chain 85.

The drive mechanism of the chain 85 is the same as that of the lift in the previous embodiment, and its illustration is omitted.

The turning means 70 is attached to a fixed stand 91 on the floor 90 below the hoistway 69, and includes a support stand 70a for supporting the pallet 2, and a drive means 70b for turning the support stand 70a.

In this case, the lift 65 is configured to be able to lower its support rail 87 to below the support platform 70a of the swinging means 70.

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

When entering the warehouse, the vehicle A is mounted on the empty pallet 2 that is supported by the support rail 87 of the lift 65 and inserted into the pallet insertion opening 63, and the support rail 87 is moved to the upper or lower horizontal transfer section by the lowering operation of the lift 65. It is engaged and connected to the fixed rail 66, and the stored vehicle A is moved to the circulation transfer path 62 together with the pallet 2 by the operation of the traversing means 68. Circulation of the pallet 2 is carried out by using the upper and lower transverse transport means 68, 68, the upper and lower transport means 71, and the lift 65.

When leaving the warehouse, the pallet 2 of the target vehicle A is transferred from the upper or lower lateral transfer section to the support rail 87 of the lift 65 by the circulation transfer described above. Lift 6 from the upper horizontal transfer section
When the pallet 2 is transferred to the support rail 87 of the support rail 87, the lift 65 is lowered and at the same time, the vertical feeding means 71 on the opposite side is operated upward. The lowering operation is stopped before being connected to pallet 2. Therefore, the pallet 2 on the support rail 87 and the pallet 2 on the fixed rail 66 are not connected. Then, the pallet 2 in the lower lateral transfer section is sent by one pallet to the upper and lower transfer section side, and the lift 65 is lowered to lower the support rail 87 to below the support stand 70a of the turning means 70. The pallet 2 is transferred to the support stand 70a.

Of course, instead of this operation method, after the pallet 2 is transferred to the support rail 87, the pallet is first raised from the lower lateral transfer section to the upper lateral transfer section by the vertical feeding means 71, and then the pallet 2 is moved to the lower lateral transfer section. Alternatively, the support rail 87 may be lowered to below the support base 70a of the turning means 70 by sending one pallet toward the vertical transfer section and lowering the lift 65.

In addition, when the pallet 2 is transferred from the lower horizontal transfer section to the support rail 87, the support rail 87 is moved by the lifting operation of the lift 65.
After removing the pallet 2 of No. 7 from the pallet 2 of the lower lateral transfer section, the pallet 2 is sent one pallet distance toward the upper and lower transfer section in the lower lateral transfer section, and the lift 65 is operated downward to move the pallet 2 to the support rail 87.
may be lowered to below the support base 70a of the rotating means 70.

After the pallet is transferred to the support stand 70a of the turning means 70 as described above, the pallet 2 is turned by the operation of the turning means 70, and the direction of the vehicle A is changed. Then, the lift 65 is actuated to rise, the pallet 2 is picked up from the support base 70a by the support rail 87, and the pallet 2 is raised to fit into the insertion opening 63, and the vehicle A is taken out from the loading/unloading section 64.

Therefore, in the case of this embodiment, since the direction of the vehicle A is changed by the turning means 70 provided at a fixed position in the parking section 61, there is no need to provide the lift 65 with a turning means.

<Example 4> This example is another example of the invention of claim (3), and is
This is shown in FIGS. 17-17.

That is, the parking equipment of this embodiment is the same as that of the third embodiment, in which the turning means 70 is attached to an elevating support base 96 that can be raised and lowered by a jack 95.

Therefore, in the case of this embodiment, when the pallet 2 is transferred from the lower lateral transfer section to the support rail 87 of the lift 65, the lift 65 remains stopped and the swinging means 70 is raised by the operation of the jack 91 to support it. The pallet 2 can be transferred from the rail 87 to the support stand 70a of the turning means 70 and can be turned.

In addition, in the above-mentioned Examples 2 to 4, when leaving the garage, the vehicle A
Although the explanation has been given on changing the direction of the vehicle, it is of course possible to change the direction when entering the warehouse as described in the explanation of the first embodiment. Furthermore, the turning angle may be an angle other than 180 degrees, for example, 90 degrees, depending on the direction of the pallet in the parking section and the direction of the vehicle in and out of the storage section.

Moreover, although each of the above-mentioned embodiments is an example in which the loading/unloading section is provided on the first floor, the present invention can be applied to cases where the loading/unloading section is provided on another floor.

Furthermore, although the loading/unloading section in each of the above embodiments is located above the parking section, it goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to a case where the loading/unloading section is provided below the parking section. For example, in the invention according to claim (3), a turning means having an arm for gripping a pallet may be provided above the hoistway, and the pallet may be received by the arm from the lift and turned.
