Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an automobile elevator.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, an elevator for an automobile is provided with a photoelectric device inside the car in order to stop the automobile at an appropriate position, and a driver in the automobile guides the driver in the automobile depending on the operation status of the photoelectric device. One is proposed, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-165649.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when a photoelectric device is used to detect an automobile, not only is there a large difference depending on the size and shape of the automobile, but also the photoelectric device operates due to the light from a lamp provided on the side of the automobile. , It is very difficult to obtain the same detection status for all cars.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate such a problem, to accurately detect the loading state of a vehicle regardless of the size and shape of the vehicle, and to provide a proper guidance to the driver of the vehicle. It is to provide an elevator for automobiles that can do this.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The object of the present invention is to provide an elevator car having at least one doorway, and an elevator for a vehicle having a car stop on the floor surface of the car. The car to be loaded in the car near the car stop body or the car stop This is achieved by providing at least one detection means for detecting the passage of the tire of the vehicle, and providing display means in the car for giving various instructions to the driver of the vehicle in response to the detection signal from the detection means. Be done.

[0006]

[Action]

 According to the above configuration, the detection means detects the passage of the tire and the display means gives an instruction to the driver of the vehicle on the basis of the passage of the front wheels and the rear wheels. You can stop the car.

[0007]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a situation in which a car is placed on a car elevator. A car 1 having a doorway on one side, a car door 2, an elevator wheel 3 and a car door 2 provided on the car 1. An elevator car for an automobile and a landing are configured by a hold door 4, which engages with the door, and car stops 6A, 6B. The car 5 is mounted in the order of (a), (b), and (c). The situation of getting into the car 1 is illustrated.

FIG. 2 shows some configurations of the vehicle detection means, and a load detection method of the vehicle 5 will be described with reference to FIG. 2A which is a basic configuration.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the car stop 6A of FIG. 2 (a). At the car stop 6A on the car door 2 side, tape switches 7A and 7B for detecting the passage of the tire 8 of the automobile 5 are provided on different surfaces, respectively, and when the tire 8 passes over the tape switches 7A and 7B. The contact becomes conductive when a load is applied, and this tape switch will be used as an example for explanation.However, it is not limited to a tape switch. Any device may be used as long as it can generate an output when passing through the detection unit (a structure that stops the output is also possible).

FIG. 3A shows a case where the tire 8 of the automobile 5 normally passes over the bollard 6A. The state in which the car 5 slowly enters the car 1 and the tire 8 touches the car stop 6A is (a-1). At this time, when the tire 8 passes over the tape switch 7A, the tape switch 7A is turned on. After that, the tire 8 moves and the tape switch 7A is turned off by the passage of the tire 8 (a-2). Next, when passing over the tape switch 7B, the tape switch 7B is turned on (a-3), and then turned off. Completion of this series of operations is detected, and it is determined that the tire 8 has passed over the bollard 6A.

Next, a case where the tire does not successfully pass over the bollard will be described.

FIG. 3B shows a case where the tire 8 has not passed through the boll 6A, and (a-1) and (b-1) described above show the same state. After the tire 8 moves and the tape switch 6A changes from on to off, if the tire 8 cannot pass over the car stop 6A and the tape switch 6A is turned on again (b-3), the tire 8 stops. It is determined that 6A cannot be exceeded.

FIG. 4 shows a configuration for determining this series of operations and performing guidance display thereafter.

The tape switches 7A and 7B used in this embodiment are the detecting means 7 shown in FIG. The ON / OFF signals obtained by the detection means 7 are transmitted to the determination unit 10 after being detected by the detection unit 9, and the determination unit 10 detects the above-described series of operations to cause the tire 8 to cross the bollard 6A. It is determined whether or not it is hit. Loading is completed when the tires are crossed twice. From the determination result, the display means 11 gives an instruction to the driver of the automobile 5 to safely get on the car 8 by a conventionally known display method, for example, lighting of a lamp or guidance broadcasting.

FIG. 2 (b) shows an example in which tape switches 7A and 7B are provided on the car stop 6C having different shapes. In this case, the tape switches 7A and 7B must be installed so that both the tape switches 7A and 7B are turned off when the tire 8 is placed on the central portion of the car stop 6C.

FIG. 2C shows an example applied to a car 1 having a structure in which a vehicle 5 can be loaded from both directions. At this time, the case where the car 5 gets in from the car door 2A side is similar to the above-mentioned case, but at this time, the operation of the tape switches 7C and 7D is not detected. On the contrary, when the car 5 gets in from the opposite car door 2B side, the tape switches 7C and 7D provided in the car stop 6D have the same functions as the tape switches 7A and 7B. At this time, the operation of the tape switches 7A and 7B is not detected.

Although the contents described above are the detection method when the vehicle is on board, whether or not the vehicle has come out of the car surely may be reversed by using the above-mentioned boarding-on determination procedure.

Next, another embodiment will be described. Unlike the above-described embodiment, the vehicle stop is configured to use one tape switch in the same manner to detect the entry of the vehicle. The overall configuration is the same as that of the above-described embodiment and shown in FIG. 4, but the configuration of the detection means and the determination method in the determination unit are different.

FIG. 5 shows the structure of the detection means. (A) A car stop 6B is provided inside the car, and a tape switch 6A is installed directly on the car floor on the car door side. Since there is no car stop on the entrance side, there is no obstacle when the car gets in, so the car enters the car 1 smoothly and detects that the front and rear wheels have passed over the tape switch 6A and the car Determine loading completion.

In the car 1 of (b), car stops 6A and 6B are provided, and tape switches 7B and 7C are provided inward of the car stops. This car is provided with car doors 2A and 2B, but when a car gets into the car at one time from the car door 2B, the front wheels first pass over the car stop 6B and the tape switch 7C is turned on. Then turn it off. After the tape switch 7C has been turned on twice, when the front wheel of the automobile comes into contact with the car stop 6B, the tape switch 7B is activated and turned on. When the operation up to this point is completed, it is determined that the loading is completed.

As described above, even if one tape switch is provided for one car stop, the loading state of the automobile can be accurately detected.

However, although the contents of the guidance in this embodiment are somewhat simpler than those in the above-mentioned embodiments, since the boarding start and completion states can be accurately detected, the corresponding guidance It becomes possible to do.

[0024]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, since the detection means such as a tape switch reliably detects the passage of the tire, the vehicle position can be accurately detected and guidance can be performed without malfunction due to the size and shape of the vehicle. It has the effect of being able to drive a car safely and accurately.
