Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of use] The present invention provides a vehicle that is moved up and down using a plurality of cages in a multi-storey car park or the like and is installed in a descending passage when the cage is descending when the car is being unloaded from the storage position. The present invention relates to an automatic unloading method in which a turntable arranged at the bottom in a priority order in which a sensor catches a cage early moves to a descending cage position and unloads.

[Problems to be Solved by Prior Art and Invention] As a method of storing an automobile, a chain is hung between vertically arranged sprockets, cages are hung at equal intervals, and the cages are circulated and rotated by sprocket rotation drive. There is a merry-go-round system in which cars parked in cages are sequentially circulated, and a lift-type garage in which elevators that are lifted up and down by a winder are connected to the parking lots on each floor to park. In the former merry-go-round method, the entire vehicle must be driven when the vehicle is stored or unloaded. In addition, the device becomes larger. Therefore, the influence of inertia is large, and particularly when starting, a large amount of power is required, and the greater the inertia, the more difficult it is to control and the more difficult it is to stop at an accurate position.

Also, in the latter case, when using multiple elevators, the turntable directly below the elevator provided in the recess formed on the premises cannot contact the adjacent turntable and cannot turn, so there is a waste of having to widen the space between the elevators. is there. Therefore, the effective use of the site was not fully achieved.

[Means for Solving Problems] In view of such circumstances, the present invention provides a hoisting machine having a cage provided with a gripping mechanism of a pallet for mounting an automobile on the upper part thereof in order to eliminate these problems. A plurality of sets are arranged by connecting them so that they can be moved up and down, and at the bottom of each cage there is a recess for laying rails that connect the cages in the horizontal direction. One less than the total number of cages is provided with a turntable composed of a horizontally movable carriage and a swivelable rotating frame, and a sensor that catches the cage when each cage holding the pallet descends This sensor is connected to the electric circuit of the device that electrically determines the descending priority of the cage, and according to this priority, the turntable is moved under the priority cage and the turntable is moved. After the lett was transferred from the cage to the turntable, the turntable was laterally moved to a position where the turntable could be turned and turned so that the vehicle could be taken out of the device.

[Examples] Next, an example of an apparatus for a method for leaving a vehicle according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A is a space provided in the center, and a plurality of cages, for example, three cages 1, 1a, 1b in the drawing are arranged, and the cages 1, 1a, 1b are arranged.
Can be moved up and down by being guided by respective guide rails 2 and by respective hoisting machines provided at the upper part. Each cage has a gripping mechanism 3 so that the pallet 4 can be attached and detached. On the left and right of the space A, a plurality of layers of storage are provided. A recess B is provided in the ground W corresponding to the space A, and a pair of rails 5 and 5 are laid in the recess B in the longitudinal direction, and a plurality of turntables 6 (two in the drawing) are mounted. , Allow to go back and forth on rails 5,5.

The turntable 6 is mounted on the rails 5 and 5 to move the carriage 6a, and a plurality of guide wheels 6c and a carriage 6a which are provided on the carriage 6a to guide the rotary frame 6b, which will be described later, and are arranged at the center. The rotary frame 6b is rotatably supported by a shaft, and is driven by a motor M attached to the carriage 6a to rotate the rotary frame 6b on a guide wheel 6c via a chain 7.

Support members 9 are arranged at the four corners of the cages 1, 1a, 1b, and the support members 9 are connected to the other end of a connecting member 8 such as a wire whose one end is connected to a winding machine (not shown). . Further, the support member 9 is guided by the guide rails 2, 2 and provided with a guide wheel 10 for preventing shake. A hook 3a for holding the pallet 4 is pivotally attached to the support member 9 at the tip thereof, and a support rod 11 connected to a cylinder attached to the cage side is guided to the upper end side thereof.

The support rod 11 is provided with a cylinder that opens and closes in contact with the hook 3a, and further, the hook 3a is provided with a sensor for detecting hooking and a sensor for detecting opening / closing of the hook.

Further, each turntable 6 is provided with a pallet detection sensor that detects when the pallet 4 is placed and a detection sensor that detects when the rotating frame 6b is in a fixed position. Also cage
The descending passages of 1,1a and 1b are equipped with sensors that detect each cage, and each sensor catches each descending cage, and the highest priority is determined by an electrical device in the order of catching. Then, the pallet held by the cage is lowered onto the turntable 6 laterally to the position immediately below the priority higher cage.

[Operation] When the vehicle is stored and stored, if the empty button is arbitrarily selected and pressed, the turntable 6 moves laterally to the lower part of the target space A, and the hoisting machine is rewound and the selected position is reached. Cage descends.

When the cage reaches the turntable 6, the sensor detects the pallet 4, and the cage 1 moves the support rod 11 slightly by the operation of the cylinder provided in the support member 9 and connects the hook 3a at the tip to the hook 3a. Then, the hook 3a is disengaged from the pallet 4 by operating the pallet 4 from the closing direction to the opening direction.

When a car is mounted on the pallet 4, a sensor is activated, the support rod 11 is slightly lowered by the movement of the cylinder in the support member 9, and the hook 3a at the tip is opened by the movement of the cylinder in contact with the hook 3a. Swings in the closing direction from the hook
After locating 3a under the hanging rod of the pallet 4, the support rod 11 is slightly lifted by the operation of the cylinder, and after confirming the grip of the hook by the sensor, the pallet 4 is lifted by the hoist and stored. This storage is the same as the conventionally known means.

Next, when you want to unload a car that has been stored by using multiple sets of elevator cages 1, 1a, 1b, move the car you are leaving to the lower space of the center position of the elevator car, and then lower the cage. Then, the pallet 4 carrying the car is grabbed by the cage gripping mechanism 3 and then lowered.
At this time, when the sensor installed in the cage descending passage catches the descending of the cage, the turntable 6 provided in the lower portion moves laterally along the rails 5 and 5 to the position of the lower portion of the cage where the cage descends. When it descends to, the pallet 4 equipped with a car is turned frame 6b of the turntable 6
It is detected by the sensor provided in the and the grip of the cage and pallet is released. When this release is confirmed, the cage is hoisted by a hoist, and the pallet 4 carrying the automobile is separated from the cage.
Furthermore, since the turntable 6 needs to change its direction so that the vehicle can be taken out, the turntable 6 is moved to the rails 5,5.
The pallet 4 on the rotary frame 6b is moved to a position where the pallet 4 can be rotated (in the drawing, a position half of the center of the adjacent cage of the cage to be moved up and down) and the motor M rotates the rotary frame 6b.
Rotate it 180 degrees to change the direction of the car on the rotating frame 6b so that it can be taken out forward. Next, there may be a case where the cars are unloaded in a plurality of cages at the same time. At this time, the descending cage is electrically prioritized in the order in which it is caught by the sensor installed in the descending passage so that the cage that catches earlier can be prioritized, and the car with the cage that catches the cage first comes out second or less. The cage will wait at the sensor detection position on the second floor. Further, when the car leaves the car, the car in the next-order cage waiting is moved to the lower part of the cage where the turntable 6 descends as the hoisting machine is rewound, and the same operation as described above is performed to exit the car. That is, in order to take out the car, the elevator car equipped with the car is lowered onto the turntable that has moved to the bottom of the car, the grip between the car and the pallet is released, and then the turntable is moved to a position where it can turn. Since it can be rotated in the device so that it can be taken out of the device, it is safe with no danger to people or automobiles. Furthermore, since the space between cages can be made small, the site area can be used effectively with a minimum area.

[Effect] According to the present invention, as described above, a cage provided with a gripping mechanism for a pallet for mounting an automobile is connected to a hoist provided at an upper portion so that the cage can be moved up and down, and a plurality of sets are arranged. A recess is provided for laying a rail that connects between the cages in the lateral direction, and on the rail in this recess, a carriage that can move laterally between the centers of the cages and a rotatable frame that can rotate are configured. One less turntable than the total number of cages, and a sensor that catches the cage when each cage holding the pallet descends is arranged in the descending passage of the cage, and this sensor is set to the descending priority of the cage. To the electrical circuit of the device that electrically decides, move the turntable under the higher priority cage according to this priority, transfer the pallet from the cage to the turntable, and then A vehicle storing method characterized in that a vehicle table can be moved out of the device by laterally moving the turntable to a position where it can be turned, and only a pallet needs to be moved in order to enter and leave. Therefore, the driving force can be reduced.

Furthermore, even if a plurality of cages are arranged side by side, the space between the cages can be made smaller by moving the turntable laterally, so that the site area can be effectively utilized. Further, since the turning operation of the turntable is performed within the device, a safe vehicle can be put in and out without danger to a person or another automobile.
