2. Description of the Related Art As a parking apparatus of the type described above, as shown in FIG. 1, elevators 1 are provided with carriers 2A and 2B in two upper and lower stages, and two vehicles can be stored side by side in a parking room 3 side by side. A device is known (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-2
4459). In this device, for example, when the vehicle in the parking space on the back side of the parking room 3 is to be unloaded, it is possible to remove the vehicle from A to
As shown in E, the elevator 1 is moved up and down to move the upper carrier 2
After adjusting the level of A to the carrier 14 of the parking space (B), the vehicles 5 and 6 of the parking spaces A and B are both carried by the carrier 4.
Then, the vehicle 5 is transferred to the left in the figure, and the vehicle 5 is transferred to the upper carrier 2A of the elevator 1 (C). After moving the vehicle 5 onto the carrier 2A, the elevator 1 is raised by a certain amount so that the level of the lower carrier 2B is adjusted to the level of the carrier 4 in the parking space (D), and the vehicle 6 is transferred onto the lower carrier 2B (E). ).
Then, the elevator 1 descends by a certain amount to adjust the level of the upper carrying device 2A to the carrying device 3, and the vehicle 5 on the carrying device 2A is carried by the carrying device 4A.
Return to top (F). After that, the elevator 1 descends with the vehicle 6 placed on the carrier 2B, and the vehicle 6 is unloaded.

When the vehicle is stored in the parking space A, the vehicle in the parking space B is once moved to the elevator and the replacement work is performed through the same procedure as described above. Regarding the parking device, as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-265079, the parking rooms are provided in multiple stages, and each parking room is provided with a plurality of self-propelling unit plates which can be moved forward and backward or left and right, and a lift is provided. It is configured to move up and down and to the front and back or to the left and right, and when entering the garage, the unit plates in each tier of the parking room are shifted to the front and back or to the left and right to form a lift-like lifting space, and then the vehicle is mounted by the lift. The pallet is grabbed and the elevator space is lifted to the desired level, then the next unit plate is moved into the elevator space to receive the pallet from below, and then it is moved back and forth or left and right to move up and down. It is also known that the vehicle is retracted together with the pallet from the space.

[0004]

According to the latter parking system described above, a large number of vehicles can be stored in parallel in each parking space, but the lift can be moved up and down and moved forward and backward or left and right. Therefore, the structure becomes complicated, and in order to move the vehicle in and out, the lift must go up to the uppermost parking room and then move back and forth or left and right to go down to the target floor. In this respect, according to the former parking device, even a vehicle on the back side that does not face the ascending / descending space can move the elevator in and out without temporarily lifting it to the uppermost stage, which can speed up the loading / unloading of the elevator. If the carrier is provided in two stages, the structure becomes complicated, the weight of the elevator becomes large, and a large lifting mechanism is required, which increases power cost.

An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic storage device of a type in which a plurality of vehicles and the like can be stored side by side in a storage room, and a single transporter provided in an elevator can be used for loading and unloading of vehicles and the like. It is intended to provide such a method.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, according to the present invention, an elevator for mounting a vehicle or the like to elevate or lower an ascending / descending space and a storage room arranged in multiple stages adjacent to the ascending / descending space and capable of storing a plurality of vehicles in parallel. In the method of loading and unloading a vehicle or the like in an automatic storage device provided with an elevator and a storage device respectively installed in each storage room and carrying a vehicle or the like between the elevator and the storage room, at least one of the storage rooms When storing empty cars in one storage room and moving vehicles in and out from the back, use the elevator and transporter to store the empty cars It is characterized by being moved to a storage room with space.

[0007]

According to this method, when a vehicle or the like is unloaded from the back side of the storage room and there is a vehicle or the like on the side of the elevating space that obstructs the exit, the vehicle or the like is once moved to the elevator by using the carrier. Then, the elevator is moved up and down to the storage room on the floor with the empty storage space, and then moved to the empty storage space by the carrier.

At the time of warehousing, vehicles or the like are normally stored in order from the side adjacent to the elevating space in the storage room, but when it is necessary to store the vehicles in the inner storage space beyond the vehicles on the elevating space side. In the same manner, a vehicle or the like that interferes with the lifting space side is moved to another place in the same manner as above.

[0009]

FIG. 3 shows an example of a parking device used in the method of the present invention, in which a parking space 13 capable of storing two vehicles is provided on both left and right sides of an elevating space 12 in which an elevator 11 moves up and down. The elevators 11 and the parking rooms 13 are provided with transporters 14 and 15 for multiple stages, so that a pallet on which a vehicle is placed can be transferred between the elevators 11 and the parking rooms 13.

The loading and unloading of vehicles by this device is performed as follows. In Figure 4, parking space 3 on the 3rd floor
Leave D as an empty parking space 5th floor parking space 5
When attempting to leave the vehicle 16A stored in A,
Raise the elevator 11 to the 5th floor (Fig. 5), and first move both vehicles 16A and 16B in the right parking room to the left in the figure by the carry device 15 to a certain extent to prevent the vehicles 16 from interfering.
B is temporarily transferred to the elevator 11 by the carrier 4 (FIG. 6),
Then, the elevator 11 carrying the vehicle 16B is lowered to the third floor (FIG. 7), and the vehicles 16B in the parking space 3C are moved to the empty parking space 3D by the transporters 11 and 15 while moving the vehicle 16B to the parking space 3C (FIG. 8).

After that, the elevator 11 is again raised to the fifth floor, and the vehicle 16A waiting in the parking space 5B is moved to the elevator 11 (FIG. 9). Then elevator 1
The vehicle 16A carrying 1 down to the first floor is carried out. When the vehicle 16B in FIG. 4 is to be unloaded, it may be moved to the elevator 11 that has risen to the fifth floor and then unloaded. In this case, the vehicle 16A is also moved by the carrier 15 to the vehicle 16B.
Along with it, it moves to the left and is moved to the parking space 5B, and the parking space 5A becomes an empty parking space.

When entering the garage, the elevator rises to a floor with an empty parking space and stores the vehicle in the empty parking space, but it is necessary to get over the vehicle stored in the elevating space side and store it in the back parking space. Sometimes,
The vehicle that interferes with the elevating space is moved to another place and stored as described above. When entering, the elevator 11 rises to the floor with an empty parking space, and when the parking space adjacent to the elevating space 12 is an empty parking space, it is moved to the empty parking space and the vehicle is stored. When the vehicle is present, the vehicle is moved to the back side and is moved to a parking space which is empty due to the movement of the vehicle.
Also, when it is necessary to go over the vehicle stored in the parking space on the lift space side and store it in the parking space at the fixed position on the back side, move the interfering vehicle to an empty parking space in another place as above. Stored from.

In the above method, the empty parking space is secured on the back side of the parking room, but a parking space adjacent to the elevating space may be secured as an empty parking space. In this case, it is necessary to prevent the vehicle already stored in the back side of the parking room from moving further inward together with the newly stored vehicle. For example,
The vehicle can be moved from the elevator to the parking space only by the elevator transporter 11, or two transporters 15 capable of individually moving two vehicles can be installed in the parking room.

[0014]

According to the present invention, in order to allow a plurality of vehicles to be stored side by side in the storage compartments of each stage, the elevator only needs to move up and down in the ascending / descending space and, of course, can move horizontally as well as the maximum. Since it is not necessary to go up to the upper stage one by one, loading and unloading can be done smoothly in a relatively short time, and since only one carrier is installed in the elevator, not only the elevator but also the structure of the parking device is not complicated,
There is no increase in the size of the device for raising or lowering the elevator and no increase in power costs.
