Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a car stop for a two-tiered garage that locks onto the tire when a pallet on which a car is placed is raised.

(Problems to be solved by the prior art and the invention) In a two-tiered garage where cars are stored in two levels,
For safety reasons, it is necessary to restrain the movement of the upper cars, and a device has been proposed in the past that would automatically raise a car stopper plate to restrain the tires when the pallet on which the car is placed rises. Showa 61-80948
issue).

This device uses the rotation of a lever biased by a spring when the pallet is raised to raise the rod and erect the wheel stopper plate, and the structure is such that the rotational force of the lever is transmitted to the wheel stopper plate via the rod. Therefore, the mechanism is indirect, and since the car stop plate and the rod are not connected, the plate cannot absorb the restoring force of the spring, and there is a risk of the car bouncing on the rod.

This idea was made based on these weaknesses of the conventional technology, and attempts to simplify the mechanism by creating a structure that directly transmits the force of the lever to the plate.

(Means for solving the problem) In the present invention, the lever is provided in contact with the lower surface of the wheel stopper that locks the tire, so that the force of the lever is directly transmitted to the wheel stopper, thereby simplifying the mechanism. Plan.

The lever is supported by a support shaft that extends in the width direction of the lower surface of the pallet on which the vehicle is placed, and is biased in the upward rotational direction by a coil spring wound around the support shaft.

On the other hand, the wheel stopper is supported by a support shaft extending through the upper surface of the pallet in the width direction, and rotates in the same rotational direction as the lever to stand up.

A groove-shaped stopper is installed on the lower surface of the wheel stopper to straddle the lever and lock the tip of the lever when it is raised, thereby limiting the raising angle.When the pallet is raised, this stopper is raised by the restoring force of the coil spring. When the tip of the lever is pushed up, the stopper slides on the upper surface of the lever, causing the wheel stopper to stand up, and the locking pieces on both sides of the stopper are then locked to the locking rods that protrude from the tip of the lever in the width direction of the pallet. Therefore, the car stopper will stop at a predetermined position.

(Example) The present invention will be described below based on drawings showing an example.

The car stop B of this invention is designed to lock onto the tire T of a car A stored on the upper side of the two-tiered garage G, that is, on the pallet P, when the pallet P rises, thereby restraining its movement.

As shown in FIG. 1, the two-stage garage G consists of pillars C at the four corners and a pallet P supported by the pillars that moves up and down, and a car stop B is attached to the pallet P as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, the wheel stop B is composed of a lever 3 pivotally supported on the lower surface of the pallet P, a wheel stopper 5 pivotally supported on the upper surface, and a stopper 6 attached to the lower surface of the wheel stopper 5. There is.

As shown in the figure, the lever 3 and the wheel stopper 5 are rotatably supported by respective support shafts 1 and 4 extending through the pallet P in its width direction.

The lever 3 is further biased in the direction of rising when the pallet P rises by a coil spring 2 wound around the support shaft 1, and has a stopper 6 at the tip that engages with locking pieces 6a, 6a, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 4, locking rods 3a, 3a that limit the upright angle of the pallet P are provided in a protruding manner in the width direction of the pallet P. Further, a roller 7 that comes into contact with the ground E when the pallet P lands is connected to the lower end.

The support shaft 1 is passed through a bracket 8 projecting from the bottom surface of the pallet P, and the support shaft 4 is passed through a bracket 10 projecting from a deck plate 9 placed on the top surface of the pallet P.

A locking rod 3 is provided on the back of the car stopper 5 as shown in the figure.
A stopper 6 that determines the upright angle of the lever 3 is joined to the levers 3a and 3a. This stopper 6 is attached to the car stopper 5 by, for example, bolting to a metal fitting 11 for reinforcing the car stopper 5.

As shown in Fig. 4, the stopper 6 has a groove-shaped shape so as to straddle the lever 3, and can freely slide on the upper surface of the lever 3 at the concave part in the center, and the locking pieces 6a on both sides are used as a wheel stopper. When body 5 stands up, lever 3 is pressed.
The lever 3 and the wheel stopper 5 are stopped at a predetermined position.

In the illustrated embodiment, an arc-shaped recess 3b is further formed on the upper surface of the lever 3 at the position where it locks with the stopper 6, and the center portion of one stopper 6 is provided with a curvature shaped to fit into the recess 3b. This prevents the vehicle stopper body 5 from falling down even if a downward force is applied when the vehicle stopper body 5 stands up.

In the wheel stop B having the above structure, as the pallet P rises, the lever 3 gradually rises from the state shown in FIG. The lever 3 rises to a predetermined angle, and the locking rods 3a, 3a of the lever 3 and the locking pieces 6a, 6a of the stopper 6 lock with each other, so that the wheel stopper 5 is attached to the tire T as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the pallet P is lowered, the lever 3 is rotated by the roller 7 against the coil spring 2.
The car stopper body 5 will fall down.

(Effects of the invention) This invention is as described above, and has a structure in which the force of the lever is directly transmitted to the wheel stopper, which simplifies the mechanism, and also ensures that the wheel stopper is held in place by the stopper and the locking rod of the lever. It can be stopped at the position.
