Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides a Ferris wheel in a form similar to an amusement park Ferris wheel, and suspends and supports the vehicle floor in place of the wagon. The present invention relates to a multi-level parking system which is constructed of a 2111-built garage and has a vehicle accommodating capacity equal to or greater than that of a 2111 garage.

(Conventional technology) In recent years, automobiles have become an indispensable means of transportation for people and goods, not only in businesses but also in ordinary households, and the number of households owning two or more private cars is increasing. .

As a result, not only small businesses with limited land space, but also ordinary households are faced with the problem of finding a place to park their cars, and are forced to park their cars illegally, resulting in traffic congestion and other social problems. It's causing problems.

Therefore, parking tower-type multi-storey parking lots have been constructed in urban areas for quite some time.

In recent years, even in suburban areas where buildings have been built relatively quickly, vehicles have been equipped with ramps for raising and lowering vehicles and lifts to raise and lower floors. Garages or parking lots with two or more floors are beginning to be used. Some lift-type garages are now equipped with basements.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The above-mentioned parking tower type has to be quite large-scale, so it requires a large amount of expenditure, and its operating expenses are also high. Difficult to introduce.

On the other hand, a structure that achieves two floors can be built in a small size depending on the number of cars that can be accommodated, but in that case, the effective total floor area does not increase compared to a two-story building, making it quite expensive. There was a problem.

Additionally, for models equipped with lifts that accommodate two or more cars above and below, it is often necessary to temporarily move the cars stored on the lower floor to another location in order to use the cars on the upper floor. There was a very big drawback. Additionally, those with basements had the disadvantage of requiring special measures to prevent rainwater from flowing in.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to be able to reduce construction costs as much as possible, to achieve a high rate of effective utilization of the site, and, as mentioned above, to temporarily remove other vehicles that would be in the way of bringing in and taking out the necessary vehicles. To provide a multi-level parking device that does not need to be moved to another location, and furthermore does not require special drainage measures like those with a basement.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the multilevel parking device according to the present invention has the following features: a horizontal rotation shaft 3 and its rotation means, which are provided and located at a predetermined height in the middle of the device installation surface A in the front-rear direction, and arranged in the left-right direction; a rotating frame 4; a plurality of hanging bars 5 attached to the outer periphery of the rotating frame 4 parallel to the horizontal rotating shaft 3 and spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval; The hanging bar 5 is configured to include a plurality of vehicle floors l vertically installed via hanging members 6, respectively.

The suspension bar 5 is attached to the rotation frame 4 so as to be rotatable around its axis, the vehicle floor 1 is fixed to the suspension bar 5 in a vertical manner, and the horizontal rotation axis A transmission mechanism port is provided to synchronously transmit the rotation of 3 to the plurality of suspension bars 5, and the vehicle floor 1, which is fixed to the suspension bars 5 in a non-swaying manner, is connected to the rotation frame 4. It is preferable to configure it so that it is always kept horizontal regardless of the rotational position.

(Function) When the rotating shaft 3 to which the rotating frame 4 is attached is rotated by the rotating means, the plurality of hanging bars 5 are respectively rotated along the outer periphery of the rotating frame 4. Each vehicle floor 7 suspended from each suspension bar 5 is rotated like a Ferris wheel at an amusement park, and when it reaches its lowest movement position, it is brought close to the device installation surface A and the vehicle floor is rotated like a Ferris wheel at an amusement park. You can put in and take out.

Each hanging bar 5 is rotatably attached to the rotating frame 4 around its axis, and a transmission mechanism is provided to rotate each hanging bar 5 in synchronization with the rotation of the rotating shaft 3. If the vehicle floor 1 is fixed to the suspension bar 5 via the suspension member C, each vehicle floor 1 will be completely prevented from shaking.
It can be rotated around the rotating shaft 3 while always being kept horizontal.

(Example) The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings regarding an example configured to accommodate four automobiles.

First of all, the general structure of the parking device is as shown in FIG. 1 as a side view and FIG. 2 as a front view. 1 and 2
are set up in a facing manner, a horizontal rotating shaft 3 is installed between the upper parts of each frame, and a pair of rotating frames 4.4 are attached at a predetermined interval on both sides of the horizontal rotating shaft. In this example, four hanging bars 5 are installed parallel to the horizontal rotating shaft 1 and spaced at equal intervals.

A vehicle floor 1 on which a vehicle is mounted is vertically attached to each suspension bar 5 via a suspension member 1.

In this embodiment, in order to prevent each vehicle floor 1 from swinging when rotated together with the rotating frame 4, each vehicle floor 1 is fixed to each suspension bar 5 together with a suspension member. . and,
Each hanging bar 5 is attached to the rotating frame 4 so as to be rotatable around its axis, and each hanging bar 5 has a horizontal rotating shaft 3.
The rotation is transmitted synchronously through a transmission mechanism 1 using bevel gears.

As a result, each vehicle floor 1 is always kept horizontal regardless of the rotational position of the rotating frame 4.

Then, when each vehicle floor 1 is brought to the lowest movement position,
The floor surface is configured to be close to the device installation surface A.

Next, the detailed configuration of the parking device will be sequentially explained.

In Fig. 2, a motor 1 with a speed reducer, which serves as a rotating means for a horizontal rotating shaft 3, is installed on a platform provided on a support frame 1, and its rotational force is applied to a gear train. The signal is transmitted to the horizontal rotating shaft 3 via the horizontal rotating shaft 3. A bevel gear 11 is fitted to the end of the horizontal rotating shaft 3 on the support frame 1 side.

The rotating frame 4 has four spokes 12 arranged in a cross shape as shown in FIG. 1, and each spoke 12 has a shaft hole at its tip.

As shown in FIG. 2, each suspension bar 5 has a shaft portion 5a provided at both ends connected to a pair of rotating frames 4 located opposite each other.
．． 4, each pair of spokes facing each other 12.1
2, and a bevel gear 13 is fitted into the shaft portion 5a on the support frame 1 side.

Each spoke 1 constituting the rotating frame 4 on the support frame 1 side
2 has bearings 14.2 protruding from the sides near both ends thereof.
A shaft 1s is provided across the shaft 14, and bevel gears 1g and 17 are fitted to both ends of the shaft 15, respectively. The bevel gear 1 @ on one end side is a bevel gear 1 fitted onto the rotating shaft 3.
1, and the bevel gear 11 on the other end side is meshed with a bevel gear 13 fitted onto the shaft portion 5a of the hanging bar 5.

The transmission mechanism 8 includes these bevel gears 11, 13, 11.1.
1 and a shaft 1S. The number of teeth on each bell gear is 5. Each vehicle floor 1, which is vertically fixed to the suspension bar 5 via the suspension member 1, is always kept horizontal regardless of the rotational position of the rotating frame 4. The number of teeth is set so that the suspension bar 5 can be rotated around the axis of the shaft portion Sa in conjunction with the rotation of the horizontal rotation shaft 3 so as to hang down.

In Figs. 1 and 2, the transmission mechanism, the motor 1-, its base 3, etc. are shown to be particularly large and sturdy compared to other parts of the parking device in order to clearly show their configuration. It is beautifully drawn. However, in reality, the space occupied by these parts is small compared to the volume of the entire parking device.

Each in-vehicle floor 1 is made of a reticulated iron plate, an iron plate, etc. to which a reinforcing frame material is attached, and the upper ends of hanging members 6 erected on both left and right edges thereof are fixed to the hanging bar 5. This prevents the vehicle floor 1 from swinging around the axis of the suspension bar 5. 1a is a protrusion that serves as an axle.

The dimensions of each member constituting the parking device are set so that when each vehicle floor 1 is brought to its lowest position as the rotating frame 4 rotates, it approaches the device installation surface A. ing. Reference numeral 18 denotes a step board for eliminating the level difference between the floor surface of the vehicle floor 1 and the device installation surface A.

Further, the parking device is provided with an operation section (not shown) that controls the operation of the motor 1-, and the operation section 4 provided on this operation section
When one of the selection buttons is pressed, the motor 1- is started and the rotating frame 4 rotates together with the horizontal rotating shaft 3.
The vehicle floor 1 corresponding to this selection button among the base vehicle floors 1
When the motor 11 is brought to the lowest moving position close to the device installation surface A, a detection sensor on the vehicle floor I is activated to stop the motor 11.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained.

Currently, the vehicle floor 1 is located at the top of the four vehicle floors 1.
When you want to move the device onto the device installation surface A, press the selection button corresponding to this vehicle floor 1 using the operation section, and the top vehicle floor 1 will be brought to the lowest moving position as described above. .

This prevents each vehicle floor 1, which is fixed to the suspension bar 5 in a hanging state via the suspension member C for vibration isolation, from being gradually tilted as the rotating frame 4 rotates. For the sake of
During this rotation, the rotation of the horizontal rotating shaft 3 is synchronously transmitted to each suspension bar 5 via the transmission mechanism $, so each vehicle floor 1 is controlled by the rotating position of the rotating frame 4. It is always kept horizontal no matter what.

Although not shown in the drawings, in the above configuration, each hanging bar 5 is attached to the rotating frame 4 so as to be movable in the radial direction of the rotating frame 4 while remaining parallel to the horizontal rotating shaft 3. When each suspension bar 5 is being rotated in both the front and rear regions of the device installation surface A, it automatically approaches the horizontal rotation shaft 3 by a predetermined distance, and the two If the distance between the base vehicle floor 1.7 is prevented from increasing unnecessarily, the required depth of the device installation surface A can be shortened by that amount.

As a specific configuration that makes this possible, for example, grooves are provided in the longitudinal direction of each spoke 12, sliders are loosely fitted into the grooves, and rotating frames 4 and 4 are provided on both sides of the horizontal rotating shaft 3. A suspension bar 5 is provided across each slider of a pair of spokes 12.12 facing each other, and the shaft 15
is an extensible and retractable spline shaft. On the other hand, the support frame 1.2 is provided with a vertically elongated guide rail around the horizontal rotation shaft 3, and as the rotation frame 4 rotates, each of the sliders However, if it is placed so that it can be moved within the above guide rail, which acts as a kind of cam,
During one rotation of the rotating frame 4, the locus of rotational movement drawn by each hanging bar S around the rotating shaft 3 becomes a vertically long ellipse, thereby achieving the desired purpose.

In addition, in order to facilitate getting on and off the car and to simplify the structure of the parking device, the support pedestal 2 on one side is omitted, and each vehicle floor 1 is cantilever-supported by the rotating frame 4 on the support pedestal 1 side. is also possible.

In that case, for example, one end side of the short suspension bar 5 is supported in a cantilever manner by a set of bearings arranged side by side on the support frame 1 with a widened width. On the other end,
The vehicle floor 1 may be vertically installed via an appropriate hanging member.

Furthermore, the transmission mechanism port can be modified in various ways, such as being configured not only by a combination of a plurality of bevel gears but also by a combination of a sprocket and a chain belt.

In order to achieve the object of the present invention, the transmission mechanism 1 is not necessarily required, and as another means for effectively preventing the rocking of the vehicle floor 1 vertically installed on the suspension bar 5, for example, the transmission mechanism 1 may be A weak disc brake type rotational braking mechanism may be provided between the rotating frame 4 and the hanging member 6.

Furthermore, when it rains, mud, etc. that adheres to the vehicle on the vehicle floor 1 located above is deposited on the lower part! In order to prevent water from falling onto the vehicle and making it dirty, a hood (as shown) made of a metal plate, waterproof sheet, etc. may be attached to each hanging member 6 as an option.

Of course, the entire upper part of the parking device may be covered with a roofing material.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, the multilevel parking system according to the present invention has excellent practical effects as listed below.

(a) Unlike the case where a vehicle lift device is used, when using a car on an upper floor, there is no need to temporarily move a car on a lower floor to another location.

(b) The structure is simple, with multiple vehicle floors hanging vertically on a rotating frame that rotates around a horizontal rotation axis, like a Ferris wheel at an amusement park, making it possible to replace conventional vehicle floor lifting devices. The production cost can be significantly reduced compared to those equipped with

(c) Furthermore, since the structure is simple, the effort required for operation and maintenance is reduced.

(d) Compared to a small-scale two-story garage equipped with a climbing ramp, the number of vehicles that can be accommodated per unit floor area of the garage can be increased.

(e) In order to prevent the vehicle floor from swinging due to the rotation of the rotating frame, the vehicle floor is fixedly fixed to the suspension bar provided on the rotating frame, and is attached to the suspension bar. By configuring the system to synchronously transmit the rotational force of the rotating frame (rotating shaft) through a transmission mechanism, the vehicle floor can always be kept horizontal regardless of the rotational position of the rotating frame. .
