BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transfer device for an automobile in a mechanical parking device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An elevator type mechanical parking apparatus is generally known. This is equipped with a carrier for loading and unloading a car, and a number of parking shelves are arranged in multiple stages along both sides of the hoistway of the carrier, and the carrier and each parking rack are connected to each other. It is designed to transfer cars.

Then, regarding the device for transferring the automobile between the above-mentioned carrier and the parking rack, it is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-150764.
An example is described in Japanese Patent Publication. As shown in FIG. 4, the conveyor a and the parking shelves b are each provided with a conveyor c with a drive means for mounting an automobile W and moving it laterally. Therefore, in such a transfer device,
When an automobile is transferred between a carrier and a parking rack, both conveyors are driven to pass the automobile from one conveyor to the other.

[0004]

However, in the case of the above-mentioned vehicle transfer device, since it is necessary to separately provide a driving means for the conveyor on each parking rack, the entire parking rack becomes heavy. There is a problem that installation and adjustment of the conveyor are costly and time consuming, and eventually the entire conveyor becomes expensive.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a car conveyor for each parking rack.
This is achieved by using the conveyor drive means on the carrier side to drive the conveyor.

That is, means for solving the above-mentioned problems are as follows: a carry-in section into which a car is carried in for parking, a parking section in which a large number of parking shelves for housing the car are arranged, and the carry-in section and the parking section. A transfer device for a vehicle in a mechanical parking device, comprising: a carriage that reciprocates between the parking shelves and a vehicle between the carriage and the parking rack. A conveyor that is provided on the carrier and that is driven by drive means provided on the carrier to horizontally move the vehicle by mounting the wheels of the vehicle, a rear part of each of the parking shelves, and a front side thereof. A movable wheel stand which is provided to be reciprocally movable between the parts of the vehicle and a wheel located on the parking rack side among the left and right wheels of the automobile, and a moving range of the movable wheel stand on each of the parking racks. Provided on the front side Driven by the drive means of the conveyor of the carrier, the wheels located on the parking shelf side of the vehicle are transferred between the movable wheel stand of the parking shelf and the conveyor conveyor, and the left and right wheels of the vehicle are Among the wheels, a driven conveyor on which the wheels located on the side of the carrier are mounted for housing the automobile, and the driving force of the drive means of the conveyor of the carrier is provided to the driven conveyor of the parking rack. It is characterized by having a transmission means for transmitting.

[0007]

In the case of the above-mentioned vehicle transfer device, when the vehicle is transferred from the carrier to the parking rack, the carrier is placed next to the parking rack and the conveyor of the carrier is driven. As a result, the vehicle laterally moves to the parking rack side on the carrier, and the wheels on the parking rack side transfer to the movable wheel stand via the driven conveyor of the parking rack. The movable wheel base receives the lateral feed force of the conveyor of the transport base, and moves to the back side of the parking rack with the wheels on the parking rack side mounted. After that, the wheels on the carrier side of the automobile are transferred from the conveyor of the carrier to the driven conveyor of the parking rack. At that time, the driven conveyor is driven by the conveyor driving means of the carrier so that the wheels on the carrier side are smoothly transferred, and the movable wheel stand on which the wheels on the parking shelf side are mounted is mounted on the movable rack. Furthermore, the transfer is completed and the transfer is completed.

The transfer of the vehicle from the parking shelf to the carrier is performed in the reverse manner of the above transfer, and the driven conveyor of the parking shelf is driven by the driving means of the conveyor side conveyor, The wheels on the carrier side of the vehicle move from the driven conveyor to the conveyor on the carrier side, and the movable wheel stand on which the wheels on the parking shelf side of the vehicle are mounted moves to the carrier side. After that, the conveyor side wheels move to the opposite side of the parking shelf by the operation of the conveyor of the conveyor table, the movable wheel stand approaches the driven conveyor, and the movable wheel stand moves to the driven conveyor from the parking shelf side wheels. Will be transferred, and the transfer will be completed.

In the above-mentioned solution means, however, the conveyor of the parking rack is driven by the conveyor driving means of the carrier, and the lateral movement of the movable wheel base also causes the operation of the conveyor of the carrier or the driven conveyor of the parking rack. It is accompanied by no special driving means. That is, the parking rack does not require any driving means such as a motor for laterally moving the vehicle.

[0010]

Therefore, according to the present invention, a conveyor and a driving means for the conveyor are provided on a carrier of an automobile, and each parking rack has a movable wheel stand on which a parking rack side wheel of the automobile is placed, and the movable wheel stand. And a conveyor on the side of the parking rack, and a driven conveyor for mounting the wheels on the side of the vehicle to accommodate the vehicle to convey the movable wheel stand and the driven conveyor. Since it is operated by the power of the conveyor drive means of the pedestal, no drive means is required for each parking rack, and it is possible to reduce the weight of the entire parking rack without impairing the smooth transfer of vehicles. It is possible to reduce the cost by suppressing the facility cost and maintenance cost of the mechanical parking device.
