[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle take-out device capable of picking up a fallen car out of cars arranged vertically and horizontally in a used car auction site and picking it up quickly.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a used car auction site, etc., when cars are displayed side by side vertically and horizontally as shown in FIG. 8, a car located in front of or behind the car to be taken out is temporarily placed in another place. Had to move. For example, when the car in FIG. 7 is taken out, the cars of to are sequentially moved to the front, and then the car of is carried out to the front, or the cars of the backward travel are sequentially moved to the rear,
I was carrying out the car in two ways:

[0003]

In the conventional procedure as described above, it is necessary to temporarily move the vehicle to be taken out to another place in front or to the rear, and after taking out the vehicle, the vehicle is evacuated. There was work to return the car to its original position. Therefore, it takes time to take out the car and many workers are required. Further, when moving a car, contact trouble with an adjacent car may occur, and moving and returning work of the car may be complicated, which is dangerous.

The present invention solves these problems.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle unloading device that can be quickly taken out by a human worker and can perform safe work without contact trouble between vehicles and can take out by changing the direction of the traveling direction of the vehicle. .

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a vehicle take-out device of the present invention comprises a gate type crane device capable of traveling along an array of trains, and a crane above the crane device. A traverse hoisting device capable of traveling on a traverse rail provided in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of the device,
A car gripping device that is hoisted and unwound by the hoisting device and a car gripping device that is provided corresponding to at least one end position of the traverse rail, and is used to transfer a car picked by the car gripping device of the traverse hoisting device. With a possible turntable device, the car can be taken out by changing the direction of its traveling direction to a car take-out passage provided on the floor corresponding to the turntable device. The turntable device is mounted on a table frame that can be lifted and lowered on a leg frame of a crane device.

[0006]

With the above construction, the crane device is brought to a position above the vehicle to be taken out, the car gripping device is lowered by the traverse hoisting device of the crane device, and the car is picked up and lifted to the end of the traverse rail. Move and transfer to the turntable device. Then, if necessary, the vehicle is rotated by the turntable device to change the direction of the traveling direction of the vehicle, and the vehicle is taken out of the turntable device onto the vehicle removal passage. Therefore, it is not necessary to back the car to move it in the direction you want to take it out,
Carry out safe and speedy car removal work.

FIGS. 6A and 6B are a plan view and a sectional view showing details of the turntable device. The upper rotary table 31 is rotatably mounted on a lower table 32 fixed to the table frame 16, and the upper rotary table 31
A large sprocket 34 fixed to the tip of a hub portion 33 that penetrates the lower table 32 and projects downward from the central lower surface of the
Are interlockingly connected via a chain 36 to a small sprocket 35 that is rotationally driven by a drive motor (not shown). In addition, sloped surfaces 37 are formed at both ends of the lower table 32 in the direction along the vehicle unloading passage 19, facilitating the unloading of the vehicle 2 placed on the turntable device 15 to the vehicle unloading passage 19. .

Next, the operation of the vehicle take-out device having the above structure will be described. First, the traveling crane 1 is moved along the traveling rail 3, and the traverse hoisting device 5 is moved to the traverse rail 6
Then, the vehicle gripping device 7 is moved to the upper position of the vehicle 2 to be taken out. Next, by using the worm jack drive motor 24 and the vehicle-width-interval adjusting worm jack 23, the carriages 9 are moved in the left and right directions toward and away from each other, and the distance between the lifting arms 11 and 12 of the left and right carriages 9 is taken out. Vehicles that want to take out the gap between the lower ends of the front and rear lifting arms 11 and 12 by swinging the front wheel side lifting arm 11 using the worm jack drive motor 30 and the tire distance adjusting worm jack 28. Match the tire spacing of 2. Then, the turning claws 13 of the hoisting arms 11 and 12 are set at a position along the vehicle length direction B by an appropriate drive motor, and the traverse hoisting device 5 is used.
The car gripping device 7 is lowered by. Lifting arm 11,
The vehicle gripping device 7 is stopped when the turning claw 13 of the vehicle 12 is lower than the vehicle body, the turning claw 13 is swung to rotate to the lower side of the bottom surface of the vehicle body, and then the vehicle gripping device 7 is raised to lift the vehicle 2. Is picked and moved to the table frame 16 side.
At this time, if the turning claw 13 has an arcuate upper surface and is covered with a cushioning material such as rubber, the car is not damaged by the take-out operation and the hoisting arm 11 is lifted.
It is possible to make the support level of the lifting arm 12 on the fixed side almost unchanged even when swinging, and a stable support operation can be expected.

The traverse hoisting device 5 positions the car 2 picked by the car gripping device 7 above the turntable device 15 of the table frame 16 and then lowers the car gripping device 7 by performing an operation reverse to that during picking. 2 is transferred onto the upper rotary table 31 of the turntable device 15.
If necessary, the turntable device 15 rotates the upper turntable 31 to match the traveling direction of the vehicle 2 with the direction desired to be removed from the vehicle removal passage 19. Then, the table frame lifting device 18 lowers the table frame 16. As a result, the car 2 is turned on the turntable device 1
The vehicle 5 can be carried out from the vehicle 5 onto the car unloading passage 19 in the direction desired to be taken out, and the vehicle 2 must be backed to move in the direction desired to be taken out. Can be avoided.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible for one operator to quickly take out a car that is desired to be taken out from among a large number of cars arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions. Contact troubles can be resolved and safe work can be carried out. Moreover, after the car picked up by the car gripping device of the traverse hoisting device is once transferred onto the turntable device, the direction of travel of the car is changed as necessary, so that the car is removed from the turntable device. The vehicle can be carried out with the traveling direction facing upward in the direction desired to be taken out, and it is not necessary to back the vehicle in order to move the vehicle in the direction desired to be taken out.
