Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to a parking facility in which a large number of vehicle platforms are sequentially stopped at a vehicle entry location, and vehicles are loaded into and exited from the chassis. The present invention relates to a boarding deck for allowing occupants to safely board and exit a vehicle mounted on a vehicle chassis at the boarding location.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, as an example of the above-mentioned parking equipment, the so-called "vertical circulation parking equipment" is well known, in which a large number of vehicle mounting cages, each having a chassis, are moved in circulation in the vertical direction to store vehicles. It is. Furthermore, as this vertical circulation parking facility, as shown in Figures 4 and 5,
It is known that the chassis of the cage is lifted and rotated inside the cabin, and the direction of the vehicle loaded with it is changed by 180 degrees so that it can be driven forward towards the entrance/exit (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-471 Publication No.).

That is, in FIGS. 4 and 5, cage 1
A vehicle entry point SP is set at the bottom of the circulation route of
A pit 4 for inserting the lower part of the cage 1 is dug in the ground floor 3 at the vehicle entry area SP.
This pit 4 is considerably deep in order to install a mobile lifting and turning device 5 that lifts the car platform 1a upward from the lower part of the cage frame 1b and turns it by 180 degrees with respect to the cage 1 stopped at the vehicle entry area SP.
Therefore, the ground floor 3 on both the left and right sides of the pit 4 is
For example, a sliding boarding deck D1 as shown in FIG. 4 or a vertically swinging boarding deck D2 as shown in FIG. 5 is installed.

Therefore, while the car group 1 is being circulated, both the boarding decks D1 and D2 are retracted to a position where they do not interfere with the car and wait for the next vehicle to board and exit.
When the desired cage 1 stops at the vehicle entry area SP, the two concave wheel entry paths on the left and right sides of the vehicle platform 1a become flush with the ground floor 3, and then the boarding deck D1 or D2 faces toward the side of the vehicle platform 1a. The tip edge D1a or D2a of the deck D1 or D2 that once moved close to the raised left and right side edges 1 of the chassis 1a
Proximate to a2, the driver M can get on and off between the vehicle W mounted on the chassis 1a and the boarding and alighting deck D1 or D2. However, the leading edge D1a or D2a of the deck D1 or D2 and the left and right side edges 1
A slight gap S is formed between a2 and a2.

Therefore, the driver is a woman M wearing high heels H.
(Especially when people often change into high heels H when getting off a vehicle), be careful not to let the heel H1 of the high heel H get stuck in the gap S when getting on and off between the loaded vehicle W and the boarding deck D1 or D2. It is desirable that

(Means for Solving Problems) For this purpose, the present invention provides the above-mentioned parking facility with a movable deck body for allowing occupants to directly get on and off the vehicle.

That is, a specific means for this purpose is to have a large number of chassis for mounting vehicles, and each chassis is movable between a loading area where the vehicle is parked and a storage area where the vehicle is stored. A deck for boarding and disembarking from a parking facility located in the parking lot, the tip of which extends from the side of the boarding area so as to cover the side edge of a vehicle parked at the boarding location, and allows occupants to directly board or exit the vehicle on the platform. The vehicle is characterized by comprising a deck body that is movable between a vehicle connection position where the vehicle is connected to the vehicle and a standby position located to the side of the entry location.

(Function) In the case of the deck for getting on and off the parking equipment mentioned above, the deck body is placed on the side of the entry place so that the tip part covers the side edge of the vehicle platform stopped at the entry place so that the occupants can directly get on and off the vehicle. Since it protrudes from the side, there is no gap between the vehicle platform and the deck body that opens upward. Therefore, the occupant no longer needs to be careful about gaps when getting on and off the vehicle, unlike in the past. Furthermore, the deck body protrudes so that its tip extends over the side edge of the vehicle chassis so that the occupant can get on and off the vehicle using only the deck body, so that the occupant cannot put his/her feet on the vehicle chassis. There is no need to take down the
Therefore, passengers can get on and off the vehicle without feeling uneasy about their feet.

a, and the left and right side edges 16 of the chassis 16b
Spaces S1 and S2 are formed between b3 and 16b4 and the left and right ground floors 18b1 and 18b2.

Next, the left and right boarding decks 21 and 22 are
Rods 27a, 28a of working cylinders 27, 28
Due to the extension operation, the left and right deck bodies 23, 23 move toward the vehicle platform 16b in left and right opposite directions, and the tip end 23a of the deck body 23 approaches the vehicle platform 16.
The detection rod of the limit switch 30 engages with the left and right edges 16b3 and 16b4 when the limit switch 30 is placed over the left and right edges 16b3 and 16b4 from above in a non-contact manner, and the limit switch 30 engages with the left and right edges 16b3 and 16b4, causing the approaching movement. stop. That is, now the deck bodies 23, 23 are
There is no gap between the left and right edges 16b3 and 16b4 of the chassis 16b, resulting in a vehicle connection position where the spaces S1 and S2 are closed.

Next, the door 17a opens, and the driver M drives the vehicle W forward through the entrance 17 onto the wheel entry paths 16b1 and 16b2 of the chassis 16b, stops it at a predetermined position, and then opens the vehicle door W1. The driver gets off the vehicle onto the open deck body 23, passes over the deck body 23, and exits the vehicle through the entry/exit entrance 17 (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

In the case of leaving the warehouse, cage 1 loaded with the desired vehicle W
6 stops at the vehicle entry area SP, first, the mobile lifting/lowering turning device 20 is operated to lift the chassis 16b and the loaded vehicle W above the lower frame 16a1.
After being turned by 180 degrees, it is positioned and placed on the lower frame 16a1 again. The front of the vehicle W is now directed toward the entrance/exit 17. Then, as in the case described above, the deck bodies 23, 23 move toward each other so as to completely close off the spaces S1, S2 by operating the boarding decks 21, 22. After that, the door 17a opens, and if the driver M is driving a right-hand drive vehicle, the driver M should open the left deck body 2.
3, the user gets into the vehicle W, drives forward, gets out of the cage 16, and exits from the garage entrance 17.

Incidentally, the above-mentioned boarding decks 21 and 22 are the deck body 2.
3 was moved horizontally in the left and right direction, but the cage 16 was moved in the left and right direction.
If the cage 16 has high precision in stopping in the left and right direction, the limit switch 30 described above is not necessary, and the deck body 23
All you have to do is move it by a certain stroke. Further, like the boarding deck shown in FIG. 3, the upper surface of the deck body 123 is brought closer to (or flush with) the ground floor 18b, and only the tip 123a is raised, and the tip 123a is moved to the left side of the chassis 16b. Right side edge 16a3,
16a4 may be made to be polymerizable upward. Although the actuating cylinders 27 and 28 are used as the moving mechanism for the boarding decks 21 and 22, other moving mechanisms such as a chain sprocket mechanism may also be used.

Further, in the above embodiment, the sliding decks 21 and 22 are used, but there are various types of decks for boarding and exiting that can be moved in a variety of ways, such as a vertically swinging type, a combination of a sliding type and a swinging type, and a folding and swinging type. However, it is possible to implement the same method.

Further, the above-mentioned boarding decks 21 and 22 are particularly effective when the pit 19 inevitably becomes deeper due to the installation of the movable elevating and rotating device 20, but even when the pit 19 is shallow without the movable elevating and rotating device 20,
This is effective in eliminating some steps when getting on and off.

Furthermore, the boarding and alighting decks 21 and 22 of the present invention are not limited to vertical circulation type parking equipment, but can be implemented in other mechanical parking equipment (horizontal circulation type or multilayer circulation type), and can be used in these mechanical parking equipment. It can also be applied to a lift that carries a vehicle platform from the storage area of the vehicle to a boarding area.

(Effect of the invention) Therefore, according to the invention, the tip part extends from the side of the entry place so as to cover the side edge of the vehicle platform stopped at the entry place, and the driver directly enters the vehicle on the platform. Since the deck body is provided so as to be movable between the vehicle connection position for getting on and off the vehicle and the waiting position on the side of the boarding place, there is an upward opening between the vehicle platform and the deck body. There are no gaps, so passengers no longer have to worry about gaps when getting on and off the vehicle, and they no longer need to put their feet down on the vehicle chassis, making it safe and secure even for women wearing high heels and the elderly. You can get on and off easily.
