2. Description of the Related Art Currently, there is a large shortage of parking lots in the Tokyo metropolitan area. In order to solve this shortage of parking lots, one car was lifted up, another car was placed in the space below, and two cars could be parked in the parking space for one car. The two-tiered multi-level parking system is in the spotlight. Thus, the conventional two-stage multi-level parking apparatus is configured such that the lifting plate capable of mounting one automobile is moved up and down by the lifting means (lift) configured by hydraulic pressure, electric motor, or the like. To raise the first unit,
The second car was parked underneath.

[0003]

However, since the conventional two-stage multi-story parking system has a structure in which the lower car must be moved without fail when the upper car is lowered, it is troublesome to take in and out the car. Moreover, if the key of the car parked underneath is not always stored, it may not be possible to dismount the car above even in case of emergency. In fact, it was very inconvenient. Also, since the parked car is lifted to a high position, in the worst case, there is a risk that the car below will be crushed by the car above due to failure of the lifting mechanism, and the car will fall from above due to a typhoon or earthquake. There was also a risk of doing it.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, provides a storage space for one automobile on a lower plate on which the automobile can be placed. A parking box provided with an upper plate fixed thereto, an underground recess formed in the ground so as to accommodate the lower part of the upper plate of the parking box, and a raised position in which the lower plate is at the same level as the ground. A two-stage multi-story parking apparatus comprising: an elevating means for moving a parking box up and down within a descending position where the upper plate is at the same level as the ground.

[0005]

When the car is parked on the lower plate,
Set the parking box to the raised position and set the lower plate to the same level as the ground. At this time, even if the car is placed on the upper plate, lift the parking box as it is. When the vehicle is parked on the upper plate, the parking box is lowered to the same level as the ground as shown in FIG. At this time, even if the car is placed on the lower plate, the parking box is lowered as it is. When using a car parked on the lower plate, the parking box is raised to the same level as the ground plate as shown in FIG. At this time, even if the car is placed on the upper plate, lift the parking box as it is. When using a car parked on the upper plate, the parking box is lowered to the same level as the ground plate as shown in FIG. At this time, even if the car is placed on the lower plate, the parking box is lowered as it is.
