Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention is a parking facility for automobiles, which has a device for raising, lowering, and laterally moving automobiles on a substantially rectangular pallet. Parking places for the pallets are arranged next to each other and one above the other, and the parking places above and below the entry surface are accessible via a lifting device for the pallets, the pallets being at least one Relates to a type that is laterally movable in a plane.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A parking installation of this type is known, for example, from DE 32 12 822 A1. For such known parking facilities, an intermediate entry surface and further parking locations are provided above and below this entry surface. This parking place is obtained by respectively lifting or lowering the pallets on the approach surface. In order to always have space for movement of the pallets, the pallets on the entry surface can be moved laterally. The advantage of such a parking facility is that approximately three times as many parking spaces are available for a given parking location.

The problem with this arrangement of the lifting device for parking equipment is that the lifting device requires a structure and space that provides the minimum space required for the parked vehicle.

Furthermore, in such parking installations, in particular, the pallets of the upper parking place and the pallets of the lower parking place must also be movable onto the approach surface, and each of the upper or lower pallets on the approach surface must be The disadvantage is that the construction of this lifting device is rather complex, taking into account that the pallets on the entry surface must have the possibility of lateral movement in order to allow movement.

Problem to be Solved by the Invention The object of the invention is therefore to require only low production costs and space requirements, while also meeting all the safety conditions imposed on this device in order to eliminate accidents as much as possible. The goal is to provide a structure that can satisfy

According to the invention, at least two lifting devices are provided for parking locations arranged one above the other, each lifting device carrying at least four winch ropes. It has a motor-driven winch with a 4-way winch rope.
The solution is that in the area of two corners it engages the pallets belonging to the lifting device, each pallet being movable to the same height position to which the entry surface belongs.

By using a lifting device in the form of a motor-driven winch for each of the four winch ropes, a simple and easy-to-understand construction is obtained. This is because the winches of these four winch ropes can be synchronized. Since the force generated is reliably distributed over the four ropes, this rope can have a relatively simple construction which also facilitates its arrangement. This rope consists, for example, of a flat belt, but wire ropes or similar elements meeting the above-mentioned objectives may also be used.

A particularly simple construction is obtained if the winches are each arranged above the corner areas of the pallets. This allows the rope to be guided directly from the pallet to the winch without using any deflection rollers. The advantage of locating the winch above the corner area is that space is provided in the corner area for the installation of the winch without the need to enlarge the pallets or the spacing between pallets due to the space requirements of the winch. can get. By arranging the winch above the corner range, the entry of the motor vehicle into the pallet is not obstructed, nor does the winch become an obstacle when getting on and off the motor vehicle. Since the motor vehicle has a relatively low height at the engine hood and the trunk, the stacking space for parking on the upper floor, where the winch is located, can also be utilized satisfactorily.

It is particularly advantageous if the winches are connected in pairs via connecting shafts, the two connecting shafts being connected via a transmission, via which the drive motor also acts on the winches. In this way, synchronization of all winch ropes is ensured in a simple and effective manner. This connecting shaft can be easily attached to the frame part of this parking facility without increasing the structural dimensions.

Advantageously, the winch has a disc-shaped winch drum, the disc surface of which is positioned parallel to the direction of entry of the motor vehicle into the pallet. This disk-shaped winch drum has only a small axial dimension. This winch drum is perfectly suited for winding belt-like winch ropes and can also be arranged without requiring a significant amount of space.

Typically, a winch with a rope placed at one end of the pallet is connected via a connecting shaft.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the winch and the winch rope of the first, preferably lower, pallet are arranged at the outer corners of this pallet;
The winch and winch rope of the second, preferably upper, pallet are arranged inside the winch and winch rope of the first pallet. In this way, a clear structure is obtained in which the individual components of the lifting device are structurally separated from one another, and which nevertheless have only a small distance from one another, so that the individual components can be easily separated from each other. The supporting installation effort and construction costs remain low.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the transmission device for connecting the coupling shaft mainly has a transmission shaft,
This transmission shaft has a worm at its end, which cooperates with the worm wheel of the coupling shaft.

In this case, the transmission shaft for the first pallet belongs to the wide side of one pallet, and the transmission shaft for the second pallet belongs to the wide side of the other pallet. This measure simplifies the construction and the individual components are distributed relatively evenly throughout the parking installation, so that the additional space required for the installation of these components is small. be excluded.

The winch or winch drum is arranged in a recess in the support of the parking installation. Preferably, the winch or the winch drum is gripped by a U-shaped or T-shaped flange. This makes it possible to utilize a given space that is otherwise unavailable.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As can be seen in particular from FIG. 1, the parking installation according to the invention is constructed from steel supports 22, 24, 25. The steel support 24 forms a vertical support, the steel support 22 extends in the running direction, and the steel support 25
forms the support member for the intermediate pallet 26. The invention can be used primarily for parking installations formed by such steel supports, but also advantageously for structures made of concrete, for example.

Figures 1 and 2 mainly show the middle palette 2.
6, the upper pallet 6 and the lower pallet 7 are shown. These pallets typically contain only one car, but multiple cars can also be placed next to each other or one after the other. In particular, the parking installation according to the invention is such that, as is clear from FIGS. 1 and 2, a large number of units of this kind arranged next to each other can be moved laterally in order to effect a lowering movement of a pallet 6 or a lifting movement of a pallet 7. It is configured to be movable.

The height position of the pallet 26 corresponds to the height position of the vehicle approach. This direction of entry is indicated by arrow 28 and the entry plane is designated by 8.

The pallet 26 is transferred to the steel support 2 via rollers 29.
5 and can be moved laterally in the direction of arrow 27 via this roller.

This pallet 26 is suspended by its longitudinal supports 30 on four winch ropes 9, each of which is fixed to a corner 5 of the pallet 6. The winch ropes used are preferably plastic belts and the like. This obtains the necessary tensile strength by suitable inserts. A winch 2 is assigned to the winch rope 9 shown in FIG. 1 of the pallet 6.

The lower pallet 7 is suspended by its longitudinal support 31 from another winch rope. The winch rope shown in FIG. 1 can be wrapped around the winch 1. The winch ropes 9 are guided in such a way that there is no risk of contact with each other or with adjacent structures.

As is clear from FIG. 2, winches 1 and 11 and winches 4 and 14 belong to the lower platform pallet 7. winch 1,1
1 are connected to one another at the corresponding end of the pallet 7 by a connecting rod 10, designated 32. Corresponding connection shaft 33
As is particularly clear from FIG. 2, the winches 4 and 14 are connected, and the transmission shaft 15 extends between the connecting shafts 32 and 33.

This transmission shaft 15 has a worm 16 at its end, and this worm 16 connects the connecting shafts 32 and 33.
It cooperates with the worm wheel 17 above. A drive motor 18 also acts on the transmission shaft 15 and drives the transmission shaft 15 via a transmission 34 .

Inside the winches 1, 11, 4, 14, further winches 2, 12, 3, 13 are arranged, the winch ropes 9 of which engage the pallet 6 above. In this case, the connecting shaft 35,
36 are provided. These coupling shafts are also interconnected via further transmission shafts 15 to the associated equipment and are also provided with drive motors. This arrangement is chosen in such a way that one connecting axis runs along one pallet wide side 19 and the other connecting axis runs along the other pallet wide side 20.

During the lowering movement of the pallet 6 or the lifting movement of the pallet 7, cutouts 37, 38 are provided so that the steel support 25 does not interfere with the correct height position of each pallet when it is brought into the vehicle entry position.
is useful. Naturally, when pallet 6 or 7 comes to the approach position, pallet 26
is moved laterally each time.

As is clear from FIG. 3, the steel support 22 has flanges 39 and 40 for each winch at the ends where the winches 1, 2 and another winch are also arranged.
It is formed so that a space is provided in the notch 23 between.

It may be advantageous to vary the shape of the ends of this steel support 22 somewhat, as shown by the extensions 41.

Furthermore, a notch 42 is provided in the flange 39, and the winch rope 9 passes through this notch 42. The winch drum is designated at 21.

The advantage of the invention lies above all in that substantially identical components can be used for the winch, shaft and drive.
