Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage device for storing a vehicle such as an ordinary passenger car, a collection and delivery such as a freight container, and a storage such as a leisure motor boat in multiple stages and multiple rows.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a multi-stage multi-row hangar for increasing the storage efficiency of passenger cars, various attempts have been made to reduce the moving space of the storage vehicle to improve the space utilization efficiency. , For example,
In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58029, the vehicle storage pallets at each stage are provided with separate cantilever support structures, and the respective cantilever support structures are allowed to move laterally to improve space utilization efficiency as a minimum moving space. Proposed.

As a result, there is an advantage that each transfer operation is simplified, the moving distance is reduced, and space utilization efficiency is improved.

However, this type of multi-stage multi-row hangar requires a cantilever support structure for each storage vehicle for each stage, and the support beams have a structure in which each stage overlaps, which serves as a hangar for vehicles. This is a dead space in use, and in the case of a large number of vehicle hangars, the absolute amount occupied by this dead space becomes large, which is not desirable, and there is also the problem that a drive device is required for each support beam.

The above-mentioned drawbacks of the cantilever type multi-stage multi-row hangar are common drawbacks of the conventional multi-stage multi-row hangar.

It is provided and is self-propelled. Further, a spider elevating mechanism 89 using a hoisting wire is provided on the frame body 83 in the storage space 85 in the central portion so that it can be self-propelled on the upper surface rail member 82 between the three storage spaces 84, 85, 86. Has been formed. As a result, the picking device 8 itself travels on the horizontal rail 4 in the longitudinal direction of the device, the spider elevating mechanism 89 travels on the upper rail member 82 of the frame 83, and further, the respective vehicle storage pallets 7 are moved. The picking device 8 is pulled up to the central storage space 85, and the storage spaces 8 before and after it are pulled up.
Can be transferred to 4,86.

A picking device 8 is attached to the traverser portions 3 arranged at both ends of the main body portion 2 for carrying in the vehicle on the storage side of the storage main body portion 2 and for carrying out the vehicle on the storage side. A traverser 9 for transferring and transferring in the width direction is provided so as to move on a width-direction horizontal rail 11 for being supported by a vertical frame 10 provided at an end of the main body portion 2. The traverser 9 has a rail member 13 arranged on the upper surface of a carriage 12 that moves on a horizontal rail 11 in the width direction so that the rail member 13 can be connected to the horizontal rail 4 in the length direction of the main body. The picking device 8 that has moved is moved over the main body to the traverser part 3 and transferred onto the traverser 9, and further, the trolley 12 moves the picking device 8 to any position of each storage space row. It is configured to be transferred.

In the storage device having the above structure, the vehicle is stored and taken out in the following manner.

First, the vehicle A is run at the position of the pallet previously arranged in the traverser portion 3 on the storage side in FIG. After moving the traverser 9 to the position of the vehicle, the picking device 8 is transferred to the entry side and transferred onto the traverser 9, and the spider lifting mechanism 89 of the picking device 8 is moved.
Position it directly above it.

Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the picking device 8 is moved from the exit to the position of the storage space 6 to position the spider lifting mechanism 89 directly above the vehicle A, and the wire of the spider lifting mechanism 89 is lowered. Then, the vehicle A stored in the pallet 7 is lowered into the storage space 6.

FIG. 3 is a detailed view showing a state in which the vehicle A is lowered by the picking device 8.

In the figure, the spider raising / lowering mechanism 89 has a suspending member e suspended from a wire d which is elevated and lowered by a winch mechanism c driven by a motor b provided on a transfer carriage a. Is automatically locked by a locking mechanism 7a attached to the upper surface of the pallet 7. When the wire d descends, the pallet 7 storing the vehicle is stored in the storage space 86 at the center of the picking device 8.
Therefore, it is lowered and stored in the storage space 6 at the lowest stage of the hangar.

FIG. 4 shows the details of the mechanism for storing and paying out in the picking device 8 in FIG. 3, in which the vehicle A in the storage space 85 at the center of the picking device 8 is stored in the storage. The state of being lowered and stored in the lowermost storage space 6 is shown by its front view. In the figure, the pallet 7 accommodated in the picking device 8 supports the lower surface of the pallet 7 by a pivoting arm g of a pivotal locking mechanism f located immediately above the carriage 81 of the picking device 8 to accommodate the pallet 7. It is supported and stored in 85. When a plurality of vehicles are to be stored, the vehicle A supported and stored in the storage space 85 is moved to the positions of the front and rear storage spaces 84 and 86 by moving the spider lifting mechanism 89, as shown in FIG. 3 units can be transferred and stored.

The vehicle A supported and stored in the storage space 85 has the picking device 8 reaching the predetermined storage space 6 and then the spider lifting mechanism 89 is operated to store the vehicle A in the pallet 7 by the wire d. Is lowered and stored in a predetermined storage space 6 of the main body 2. Then, after lowering the vehicle from the storage space 85 at the center of the picking device 8, the picking device 8 is moved, and the operating position of the spider lifting mechanism 89 is adjusted, and the picking device 8 is stored in the storage spaces 84 and 86 before and after it. The stored vehicles are sequentially lowered together with the pallets and stacked on the first storage pallet to complete the storage work.

Further, when the vehicle A stored in the pallet stacked in each storage space is taken out, the procedure reverse to the above storage procedure is performed. That is, in FIG. 1, after moving the empty picking device 8 to a predetermined storage position, the pulling member e attached to the lower end of the wire d of the spider elevating mechanism 89 is moved to the pallet as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The locking mechanism 7a at the upper end of the picking device 7 connects the pallets 7 and stores them in the storage space 85 at the center of the picking device 8. At this time, when the vehicle to be taken out is located at the bottom of the three tiers, the upper and middle tiers of the vehicle are stored in the central storage space 85, and then the spider lifting mechanism 89 is moved to move the front and rear storage spaces. After moving to 84 and 86 to empty the central storage space 85, the wire of the spider elevating mechanism 89 is started to descend, and is housed in the central storage space 85 of the picking device 8 in the same manner as the above-described pulling. . Then, with the three vehicles stored, they are transferred to the traverser portion on the output side, transferred to the state shown in FIG. 2, lowered to the lower surface on the output side, and taken out, and the picking device 8 moves to the original storage position. Then, the work is taken out from the picking device 8 for storing and the work of storing the main body 2 in the storing and storing position.

In this way, the vehicle can be stored and taken out efficiently by a simple operation of the picking device 8, and the automation program for these operations is relatively simple. Easy to apply.
