Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a parking lot, and more particularly to a parking lot having a simple structure and operation and high accommodation efficiency.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art One of the inventors has connected a loading / unloading floor and a parking floor with a loading lift and a loading lift, provides a traveling carriage and a parking pallet on the parking floor, and transports the vehicle by the carriage to make a pallet. Has proposed a parking lot which is designed to be parked in a parking lot (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-271,584-585, USP52).
03660). Furthermore, we proposed to apply this multi-storey parking lot to a parking lot under the road (USP5088831).
4). The logic of such a parking lot is unmanned and fully automatic, no one can enter the parking floor, and vehicles are moved by lifts and carts.

The inventor sought the simplicity of structure and operation as a completely different type of parking lot. For example, in the above-mentioned patent, it is impossible for the vehicle to drive on the parking floor. Further, the carriage is expensive and requires precise control so that it can be accurately stopped at a predetermined position. In the above-mentioned patent, all the control of the vehicle is performed by the centralized control by the computer, but if it is manually controlled by the user, the parking lot can be simplified.

[0004]

An object of the present invention is to 1) obtain a parking lot with a simple structure and operation and a high accommodation efficiency, and in particular, eliminate the need for a carriage (claim 1); And eliminate accidents where a person is caught in a vehicle sent by a feeder (claim 2,
3), 3) Reduce the slats required for the slat conveyor of the feeder (Claim 4), 4) change the length of the individual garage zone according to the type of vehicle,
Increasing vehicle storage efficiency (Claim 5), 5) Preventing accidents during vehicle loading and unloading (Claim 6,
7), 6) Incoming / outgoing is controlled individually in each individual garage zone (Claim 8), 7) Keeping the inter-vehicle distance in the self-propelled lane above a certain level to enhance safety (Claim 9), 8) A slat conveyor or a belt conveyor is used as a feeder for the self-propelled lane so that the feeder does not interfere with self-propelling (claim 12).

[0005]

In the parking lot of the present invention, the feeder is provided in the self-propelled lane, and the carriage is unnecessary. For example, if the feeder of the self-propelled lane is a slat conveyor or a belt conveyor (claim 12), the vehicle can travel in the self-propelled lane. The width of the self-propelled lane may be the minimum necessary width for the vehicle to travel. The main equipment of the parking lot is the feeding device between the garage zone and the self-propelled lane, and these are only slat conveyors, belt conveyors, or rollers. In principle, the parking lot is controlled manually in each individual garage zone (claim 8).

In order to drive the feeder, as a general rule, drive motors are provided in the self-propelled lane and the garage zone. These motors may be low-power motors, and the garage zone motors may be particularly low-power motors (claim 2). The use of a high-speed, high-power motor gives a large inertia to the feeder itself and the vehicle. The large inertia causes a collision with an adjacent vehicle. Therefore, a motor deceleration mechanism such as a breaker is required, and in particular, a breaker capable of rapid braking is required. Such breakers are more expensive than the motor itself. Using a low-power motor means that a breaker is unnecessary, or that a simple variable speed mechanism such as an inverter is sufficient, and the mechanism of the feeding device is simplified. In the warehousing, the inertia is given to the vehicle by the feeding device of the self-propelled lane to the garage zone (claim 3). At this time, the feeder in the garage zone is idle. Then, there is only inertia in the garage, and the danger of people being caught in the vehicle in the zone is eliminated. At the time of leaving the warehouse, the role of the auxiliary motor is only to bring the vehicle into contact with the feeder of the self-propelled lane. Therefore, a low speed motor is sufficient, and no breaker or the like is required (claim 3).

The slat conveyor is preferred for the feeder because it is weatherproof and flat. The slat conveyor is more expensive than the belt conveyor by the amount of slat,
There is no difference in other mechanisms. It is not necessary to provide the slat on the entire circumference of the conveyor, but it may be provided partially on the garage zone (claim 4). For example, the conveyor in the garage zone does not have to rotate 1/2 and never rotate once. Therefore, the surface that appears on the front surface of the conveyor is fixed, and the back surface does not appear. Therefore, if you install slats only on the surface that appears on the surface,
The slats can be halved. Actually, the tires of the vehicle appear only near both ends of the conveyor. This specifies the position based on when parking. Therefore, slats may be provided only near both ends of the conveyor, and the other may be covered so that people do not fall inside the conveyor. It is useless to keep the length of the garage zone constant. For example, a light car (Japanese standard),
By providing three types of lengths for a small passenger car and a large passenger car, they can be integrated along the length direction (claim 5).

Since a person enters the parking lot and is manually controlled (claim 8), a warning light is used to prevent an accident (claim 6). Unlike the buzzer, the warning light does not generate noise, and blinking is more effective than simple lighting. When a new vehicle enters the self-propelled lane, all warning lights will blink,
Warn all users in the parking lot. On the other hand, in the exit, the individual warning lights are made to blink to warn the following vehicles (for example, the entry vehicle and the exit vehicle from the rear) (claim 7). Instead of such simple safety management, the inter-vehicle distance in the self-propelled lane may be checked to prevent the vehicle from leaving within a predetermined distance (claim 9). The parking lot may have a three-dimensional structure by providing a lift (claim 10), and the individual garage zones may have two rows or three rows instead of one row on each side of the lane. A plurality of columns may be partially provided (claim 11). When using rollers, it is preferable that only the zone feeding device is a roller and the feeding device of the self-propelled lane is a slat conveyor or a belt conveyor to facilitate self-propelling (claim 12).

EXAMPLE An example is shown in FIGS. Although the example shows a commercial garage for large vehicles such as buses and construction machinery, a parking lot for temporary storage of passenger cars at gas stations and the like,
It may be a parking lot for passenger cars installed in office buildings.

In FIG. 1, 2 is a self-propelled lane, and 4 is an individual garage zone provided on both sides thereof. The individual garage zones 4 may be provided in double or triple as shown in FIG. This is because it is difficult to obtain a large garage site for large vehicles such as buses, and individual garage zones are connected in a double or triple layer as shown in Fig. 1 according to the shape of the site. , To increase the number of vehicles accommodated.

6 is a feeding device provided in the self-propelled lane 2,
Is a feeding device provided in the individual garage zone 4. A slat conveyor is used for the feeding device 6, and two slat conveyors 10 for the front wheels and a slat conveyor 12 for the rear wheels are provided. As the feeding device 6, a belt conveyor may be used instead of the slat conveyor. The feeding device 8 provided in the individual garage zone 4 is provided with, for example, a front wheel roller 14 and a rear wheel roller 16. 18 is a safety sensor provided in each place of the self-propelled lane 2, for example, using an ultrasonic sensor,
The presence / absence of a vehicle on the self-propelled lane 2 is detected. Reference numeral 20 denotes an operation lever for operating the feeding devices 6 and 8. Reference numeral 22 is an occupant passage.

FIG. 2 shows a control circuit of the feeding devices 6 and 8. In the figure, 24 is a control circuit, 26 is a motor, which is provided for each feeder 6 of the self-propelled lane 2, and 28 is a gear box for transmitting the power of the motor 26 to the feeders 6, 8.

FIG. 3 shows the parking situation of the bus garage during the off season such as midnight and daytime. In the bus garage, the order in which the buses leave is determined by timetables, etc., so the buses are parked on the self-propelled lane 2 during the off season to increase the number of cars accommodated.

FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the parking lot of the embodiment.
The operation of the embodiment will be described based on this figure. The self-propelled lane 2 has an exit and an entrance, and the bus runs on the self-propelled lane 2 by itself and stops at a position in contact with a desired individual parking zone 4. The driver gets off the bus and drives the motor 26 using the operation lever 20. For example, one motor 26 is provided in the basement of the self-propelled lane 2 for each feeding device 6, and transmits power to the feeding devices 6 and 8 via the gear box 28. The operation lever 20 is provided for each individual garage zone 4, and has two operations, that is, warehousing and warehousing. When the operation lever 20 is tilted to the storage side, the power of the motor 26 is transmitted to the feeding device 6 and the feeding device 8 on the side where the lever 20 is operated via the gear box 28. When the individual garage zones 4 are doubled or tripled as shown in FIG. 1, for example, the operation lever 20 is provided in the deepest individual garage zone 4.
When is operated, all the feeding devices 6 and 8 from there to the self-propelled lane 2 operate. The operation lever 20 determines whether the feeding devices 6 and 8 are operated to the storage side or the storage side. As a result, the bus stopped in the self-propelled lane 2 is fed to the individual garage zone 4 by laterally feeding the front wheels and the rear wheels by the feeding devices 6 and 8.

Here, it is also conceivable to provide a power truck or the like on the self-propelled lane 2 and carry a bus on the power truck. However, for large vehicles such as buses and construction machinery, power bogies are extremely large and complex. On the other hand, drivers such as buses are limited to those who have two types of licenses. These persons are skilled in driving, and it is not possible to drive the bus on the self-propelled lane 2 to stop the front wheels on the front wheel slat conveyor 10 and the rear wheels on the rear wheel slat conveyor 12. No problem at all. Next, in the present invention, the feed devices 6 and 8 are manually operated by the operation lever 20.
This is because it is safer to operate the feeders 6 and 8 after the driver actually stops the vehicle at the correct position than to operate the feeders 6 and 8 by computer management. Further, the driver who constantly uses this bus garage does not have to handle the operation lever 20 at all.

In the embodiment, a slat conveyor is used as the feeding device 6 of the self-propelled lane 2, and an inexpensive roller is used as the feeding device of the individual garage zone 4. This is to flatten the surface of the self-propelled lane 2 as shown in FIG. 4 to facilitate the traveling of the vehicle.

The operation at the time of leaving the warehouse is the reverse of the above-mentioned operation at the time of entering the warehouse, and is the individual garage zone 4 equipped with the bus to be leaving.
The operating lever 20 is operated to drive the feeding devices 6 and 8 so that the bus is pulled out to the self-propelled lane 2 and is discharged. Since the exit and the entrance are separately provided in the self-propelled lane 2, the bus can only move forward, and can leave the vehicle without moving backward. In other words, the safety sensor 18 only needs to detect the bus coming from the rear. In the embodiment, the direction of the bus is changed from the self-propelled lane 2 to the individual garage zone 4 by 9
There is no need for a turn space for bending at 0 degrees, so the width of the self-propelled lane 2 should be the minimum width as long as the bus can travel.
Since the vehicle is transported by using the vehicle, the width of the vehicle may be the minimum width according to the width of the vehicle body. Therefore, the accommodation efficiency per site of the bus can be improved by at least 50% or more. Depending on the shape of the premises, individual garage zones 4 and 4 may not be provided on both sides of the self-propelled lane 2, but only in one side of the self-propelled lane 2 where the premises cannot be obtained. It may be provided.

While the bus is entering on the self-propelled lane 2 from behind, take the bus from the individual garage zone 4 to the self-propelled lane 2
If you move it up, there is a chance of a collision. In this case, since the driver is distracted by the lateral transport of the bus, it is difficult for the driver to notice the bus approaching from behind. Also, it is difficult for a driver of a bus traveling on the self-propelled lane 2 to know from which garage zone 4 the vehicle is laterally fed to the self-propelled lane 2. Therefore, a large number of safety sensors 18 are provided on the self-propelled lane 2 to detect a bus traveling on the lane 2. Then, when there is a bus traveling in the range of, for example, two or three cars behind, as viewed from the individual garage zone 4 that is about to leave, the control circuit 24 of FIG. 2 invalidates the leaving operation from the operation lever 20. And That is, when trying to leave a bus from the individual garage zone 4, if there is a bus traveling within the range of 2 to 3 cars behind, the feeders 6 and 8 do not operate and the buses do not collide. The driver getting off the bus exits through the passage 22. Further, since the feeding devices 6 and 8 are operated by the operation lever 20 and the safety is ensured by the safety sensor 18, in the embodiment, it is possible to operate without an operator who is dedicated to the garage.

[0019]

[Embodiment 2] FIGS. 5 to 7 show a parking lot in which the embodiment shown in FIGS. FIG. 5 shows the above-ground floor 30, 32 is an entrance lift, 34 is an exit lift, 36 is an entrance berth, 38 is an exit berth, and 40 is a stairway toward the parking layer. The berths 36 and 38 are provided with a feeding device 6 using a slat conveyor. The lifts 32 and 34 are provided with, for example, the feeding device 8 using rollers. Above-ground layer 30
The space between the incoming berth 36 and the outgoing berth 38 may be used, for example, in an office, a store, a gas station, or the like.

FIG. 6 shows the structure of the parking layer 42. Parking layer 4
2 is exactly the same as the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 except that a warehousing lift 32 and a warehousing lift 34 are provided. Here, for convenience of illustration, the individual parking zones 4 are provided one row on each side of the self-propelled lane 2, but they may be arranged in double or triple as in the case of FIG. . Figure 7
FIG. 3 shows a cross section of a multi-story car park with three parking layers 42 provided.
Depending on the case, the parking layer 42 may be provided, for example, only one layer underground.

The operation of this embodiment will be described. Berth 36
The bus that has entered is stopped on the feeder 6. The driver gets off the bus and uses the operation lever 20 to laterally feed the bus to the storage lift 32. The driver is then in the lift 3
2 is activated to transport the bus to the desired parking layer 42.
The driver moves to the desired parking layer 42 on the stairs 40 or the like,
The operating lever 20 is used to laterally feed the bus from the loading lift 32 to the self-propelled lane 2. Next, the driver gets on the bus, runs on the self-propelled lane 2, and stops the bus at a position in contact with the desired individual parking zone 4. After the bus is stopped on the feeder 6, the operation of leaving the bus from the individual parking zone 4 to the feeder 6 on the self-propelled lane 2 at the time of leaving is the same as in the case of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4. .

When the bus is moved to a position above the feeding device 6 of the self-propelled lane 2 when leaving, the driver gets on the bus and drives the bus to a position facing the exit lift 34. Next, the buses are transferred to the delivery lift 34 using the feeders 6 and 8. After that, take the bus at the exit lift 34 to the upper layer 3
Then, the bus is sent to the exit berth 38 using the feeding devices 6 and 8 again. After that, the bus starts by itself from the leaving berth 38.

In the embodiment, since the warehousing lift 32 and the unloading lift 34 are provided separately, it is not necessary to make a U-turn of the bus or reverse in the garage, and the warehousing and unloading can be performed only by the forward movement. You can Further, since the berths 36 and 38 are provided separately from the lifts 32 and 34, it is not necessary to directly board the bus into the narrow entrance lift 32, and it is not necessary to directly start the bus from the narrow exit lift 34.

Although the embodiment has been described here by taking a bus garage such as a route bus as an example, it may be a parking lot such as a tourist bus at a tourist spot. It may also be used for temporary storage of passenger cars such as gas stations, or as a garage for commercial vehicles in office buildings and the like.

[0025]

Third Embodiment FIGS. 8 to 12 show a parking lot for passenger cars.
Here, a flat parking lot using a vacant lot or the like is used, and individual garage zones 4 are provided on both sides of the self-propelled lane 2 as in the embodiment of FIGS. In FIG. 8, four rows of the self-propelled lane 2 and the individual garage zones 4 provided on both sides of the lane 2 are provided. Here, a row is a row of one self-propelled lane 2 and a pair of individual garage zones 4 provided on both sides thereof, and the number of rows is determined according to the size of the site. Reference numeral 45 denotes a partition which is provided around the parking lot and is composed of a fence, a block and the like, and need not be provided.
Reference numeral 50 is a storage gate provided on the storage side of the self-propelled lane 2, and a safety sensor 180 is provided on the storage gate 50. The safety sensor 180 uses, for example, an ultrasonic sensor to detect the presence / absence of a vehicle traveling from the entrance gate 50 to the self-propelled lane 2.

In FIG. 9, 200 is an individual garage zone 4
It is a control panel provided for each, and the operation lever 20 may be provided, and the feeding device 6 of the self-propelled lane 2 in contact with the zone 4 and the zone 4
Control eight. The control panel 200 includes a warehousing switch 210.
And a delivery switch 220, a stop switch 222, a key switch 224, and a warning light 230 are provided.
The feeders 6 and 8 are operated by 20 and the stop switch 222
Put an emergency stop on these. In addition, the key switch 224
Thus, only the owner of the key operates the control panel 200. When the garage switch 210 is turned on, the vehicle is laterally fed from the self-propelled lane 2 to the individual garage zone 4, and the garage switch 2
When 20 is turned on, it is fed laterally from the individual garage zone 4 to the self-propelled lane 2. In order to operate the control panel 200, for example, the center or the like receives a key or the like in exchange for a fee, and the key is inserted into the key switch 224. Warning light 2
30 blinks when the safety sensor 180 detects a vehicle entering the self-propelled lane 2 and when the exit switch 220 is turned on.

FIG. 10 shows a control system of the feeding devices 6 and 8. Drive motors 250 and 252 are provided in the feeding devices 6 and 8, and the motor 252 of the feeding device 8 is an auxiliary motor having a lower output than the main motor 250 of the feeding device 6. Main motor 25
Since 0 is a variable speed, it is driven by the inverter 256, for example, and the auxiliary motor 252 is not provided with a breaker or the like. A limit switch 254 is connected to each of the motors 250 and 252 for controlling the stop of the motors 250 and 252.

FIG. 11 shows the feeders 6 and 8 and the warning light 230.
The control algorithm of is shown. When the vehicle passes through the warehousing gate 50, the safety sensor 180 detects this and blinks the warning lights 230 of all the individual garage zones 4 facing the self-propelled lane 2. As a result, the warning is given to all the persons in the self-propelled lane 2 and the garage zones 4 on both sides thereof. Warning light 2
The reason for using 30 is to avoid noise such as a buzzer or a speaker, and the reason for blinking is that the warning effect is greater than simple lighting. When the vehicle reaches the position in contact with the garage zone 4 where the vehicle is about to park, the driver controls the control panel 200.
Insert the key into the feeding device, and press the warehousing switch 210
To operate. At this time, only the main motor 250 of the feeding device 6 operates and the auxiliary motor 252 is set to idle. The main motor 250 operates at a constant speed in this case, and when the feed device 6 feeds the vehicle by the width of the self-propelled lane 2 with the limit switch 254 (1/2 rotation in the case of the slat conveyor), the main motor 250 is stopped. Let The vehicle enters the feeder 8 by inertia, and the auxiliary motor 252 and the feeder 8 are idle, so the feeder 8 idles and the vehicle coasts to stop in the garage zone 4. In the feed device 8, the vehicle advances by inertia, and there is no possibility that a person is pinched between the vehicle and a bollard or collided with a vehicle already parked and damaged.

The warehousing is started by the warehousing switch 220, and only the warning light 230 of the zone 4 is blinked for a certain period of time.
Therefore, it is possible to know from which position the vehicle following the self-propelled lane 2 comes out to the lane 2. The auxiliary motor 252 operates at the time of leaving the warehouse to feed the vehicle to the feeding device 6 at a low speed. The feeder 6 is driven by the main motor 250 and moves the vehicle to the lane 2 at a higher speed than the feeder 6. Auxiliary motor 25
The role of 2 is to feed one of the tires of the vehicle to the feeding device 6 of the self-propelled lane 2 so that a low output motor is sufficient, and a breaker or a variable speed mechanism is not required. The main motor 250 is controlled by the inverter 256, and the rotational speed is reduced in the latter half of the movement to the self-propelled lane 2 to remove inertia from the vehicle. After this,
The driver can get in the vehicle, drive in the self-propelled lane 2, and leave the vehicle.

FIG. 12 shows the slat conveyor 10 used in the feeding device 6. Further, FIG. 13 shows a slat conveyor 240 used in the feeding device 8. In FIGS. 12 and 13, 232 and 234 are drive rollers, 236 is a chain, and 238 is an individual slat. In the slat conveyor 10 of FIG. 12, the slats 238 are provided over the entire circumference of the chain 236. However, in the slat conveyor 240 shown in FIG. 13, the slat 238 is provided only at a position in contact with the tire, and the range in which the slat 238 is provided is about 1/4 of the entire length of the chain 236, and the cost of the slat 238 is 1
/ 4. In addition, in the portion where the slat 238 is not provided in the conveyor 240, the surface of the conveyor 240 is covered to prevent a person from falling.

14 to 18 show the operation of the slat conveyor 240 shown in FIG. 14 to 18, 1
Reference numerals 0 and 12 are slat conveyors of the type shown in FIG. 12 having slats 238 provided on the entire surface, and 240 and 241 are slat conveyors of the type shown in FIG. 13 provided with slat 238 only at a position in contact with the tire. The conveyors 10 and 240 are for front wheels, and the conveyors 12 and 241 are for rear wheels.

It is assumed that the vehicle is moved from the self-propelled lane 2 to the garage zone 4 on the left side of FIG. The vehicle traveling on the self-propelled lane 2 stops at the position in contact with the zone 4 (see FIG.
4, Figure 15), transfer the vehicle to zone 4. The slat conveyors 10 and 12 of the self-propelled lane 2 are operated by the main motor 250 to start the lateral feeding of the vehicle. Even if the left tire of the vehicle rides on the slat conveyors 240, 241 in the garage zone 4 (FIG. 16), the auxiliary motor 252 does not operate,
The conveyors 240, 241 and the motor 252 are idle. The main motor 250 is a slat conveyor 240,
It turns on until it finishes moving to 241, and after that, the vehicle pulls and moves the idle conveyors 240 and 241 by inertia. Therefore, if a person is caught between the vehicle and the wall, no injury will occur. Now, as shown in FIG. 16, when the vehicle starts to enter the zone 4, there is always a slat 238 under the tire on the left side of the vehicle. The reason for this will be described later. When the vehicle moves further to the left, the tire on the right will also slats 23
It is possible to ride on the No. 8 vehicle, receive the tires on both sides of the vehicle with the slats 238, and move to the zone 4.

Referring back to FIGS. 12 and 13, these mechanisms will be described. Transferring the vehicle between the zone 4 and the lane 2 means rotating the chain 236 by ½ of the entire length. The slat conveyor 240 in FIG. 13 corresponds to a state in which the vehicle is supported by the slats 238. Here, when there is no vehicle in the garage zone 4, the chain 236 makes a half rotation, and the original left slat 238 rides on the right roller 234, and the original right slat 238 moves to the left roller 23.
Hiding under 2. The slat conveyor 240 has only two states, this state and the state shown in FIG. 13, and when the vehicle is completely transferred to the lane 2, the slat 238 is located above the right roller 234 and below the left roller 232. Become. If you re-accept the vehicle here, you will always see slats 238
When the tire on the left side of the vehicle rides on the vehicle and the movement of the vehicle is completed, the state shown in FIG. 13 is restored. Therefore, even if the slats 238 are partially provided on the slat conveyors 240 and 241 in the garage zone 4, the tires do not come off the slats 238.

In the slat conveyor 10, the chain 23
Although the slat 238 is provided on the entire length of 6, the slat 238 may actually be provided only to about 1/2 of the length of the chain 236. For example, the slats 238 may be provided only around the rollers 232 and 234. Figure 1
Roller 232 and roller 2 on the slat conveyor 10 of 2
The slats 238 are not provided in the straight line portion between 34. If the vehicle is riding on the slat conveyor 10 in this state, the chain 2
36 turns 1/2, and the arrangement of the slats 238 does not change from the original arrangement. In this case, the slats 238 are provided around the rollers 232 and 234, and the slats 23 are provided around the rollers 232 and 234 no matter which direction the vehicle is loaded.
Since there is 8, the vehicle can be mounted as it is.

In FIG. 1, all the zones 4 have the same length, but the length of the zones 4 may be changed depending on, for example, a light vehicle, a small passenger vehicle, and a large passenger vehicle. Such an example is shown in FIG. The zone 260 for light vehicles has a length of, for example, about 3.5 m, and the zone 2 for small passenger vehicles
62 is about 4.5 m, zone 264 for large passenger cars is 5.
It will be about 5 m. In principle, light vehicles are accommodated in the light vehicle zone 260 and small passenger vehicles are accommodated in the small passenger vehicle zone 262. However, when the parking capacity is insufficient, the light vehicle is temporarily parked in the large parking zone 264. With this configuration, the storage capacity of the multi-storey parking lot can be increased in the length direction as well, and the storage efficiency can be improved.
