Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to an improvement of a vertical circulation parking facility in which vehicles are stored by moving a large number of vehicle mounting cages in a vertical direction. The purpose is to improve safety when the driver gets in and out of the vehicle.

(Prior art) Conventionally, as shown in Fig. 5, vertical circulation parking equipment has been used to lift and turn the cage chassis inside the board, change the orientation of the loaded vehicle by 180 degrees, and drive forward to the entrance/exit. There is a known device in which the driver is allowed to ride toward the target (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-471).

That is, in FIG. 5, the lowest part of the circulation path of the first group of cages is set as the vehicle entry place SP,
An entry/exit entrance 2 is provided facing the vehicle entry location SP, and a pit 4 into which the lower part of the cage 1 is fitted is dug in the ground floor 3 at the vehicle entry location SP. And this pit 4 is the place where vehicles enter
The cage is considerably deep in order to install a mobile lifting and turning device 5 that lifts the car platform 1a upward from the bottom of the cage frame 1b and turns it by 180 degrees with respect to the cage 1 stopped at SP, and its depth H is about 1 meter. be.
Therefore, on the left and right side walls 4a and 4b of the pit 4, a boarding deck 6 is fixed at a depth h ₁ from the ground floor 3 so as not to interfere with the lowest part of the cage 1 during circulation movement of the cage 1 group. is installed.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, when the cage 1 stops at the vehicle entry area SP, the two concave wheel entry paths 1 on the left and right sides of the chassis 1a
Since a ₁ , 1a ₁ and the ground floor 3 are set to be flush with each other, there is a difference in level from the upper surface of the raised left and right side edges 1a ₂ of the chassis 1a to the 6-row surface of the boarding deck.
The depth h ₂ is even larger than the depth h ₁ and is about 30 centimeters or more. Therefore, if the driver is a woman M wearing high heels or an elderly person, the driver is likely to trip between the loaded vehicle W and the boarding deck 6 when getting on and off the vehicle.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention solves these problems by providing a system in which the cage moves close to the side of the vehicle when the cage is stopped at a vehicle entry area in the pit or on the ground floor. A movable boarding deck is provided which is substantially flush with the vehicle chassis and closes a pit opening between the vehicle chassis side and the ground floor.

That is, the specific means is a vertical circulation type parking facility in which a large number of vehicle mounting cages are circulated in a vertical direction, and the lower part of the cage is located on the ground floor at the lowest part of the circulation path. A pit is dug into which the vehicle is inserted when passing through, and the lowest part of the circulation path is set as a vehicle entry place, and a deck for getting on and off the vehicle is installed on the side of the vehicle entry place. A boarding and alighting position in which the top surface of the cage is set at approximately the same height as the top surface of the vehicle chassis of the cage that is stopped at the vehicle entry location, and a pit opening between the vehicle chassis and the ground floor is closed, and the cage is prevented from passing through the vehicle entry location. It is provided so as to be movable between a retracted position and a retracted position to the side of the boarding/exiting position.

(Function) In the above-mentioned vertical circulation type parking equipment, when the desired car stops at the vehicle entry area with its lower part fitted into the pit, when the boarding deck is moved to the boarding and exiting position, the top surface of the boarding deck is aligned with the top surface of the vehicle platform. The height is almost the same as that, and there is no difference in level between the two, and
Since the pit opening between the cage chassis and the ground floor is closed by this ingress/egress deck, the occupant can get on and off the vehicle with the same feeling as getting on and off on a general road, improving the ease of getting on and off the vehicle. Moreover, when the boarding deck is set to the retracted position, the cage can pass through the vehicle entry area, and there is no problem in circulating the cage.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.
