In the moving space 2, an elevating space for allowing the elevating cage 3 to vertically penetrate each floor by a predetermined elevating means, and a later-described space. It is a traveling space in which the traveling carriage 4 runs horizontally.

The traveling carriage 4 has a carrier pallet 5 placed thereon and moves integrally therewith. A car 6 is appropriately placed on the carrier pallet 5 so that it can be carried to a predetermined position. Has become.

A case of an underground parking lot will be described with reference to FIG. 1. In a state where the traveling carriage 4, the transfer pallet 5 and the vehicle 6 are placed on the lift cage 3, the moving space 2 between the parking spaces S is set. Come down. The traveling carriage 4 stops on a designated floor under program control, and moves from the elevator cage 3 to the side surface of the designated storage rack 1 with the traveling carriage 4 loaded with the transport pallets 5 and the vehicles 6. The transfer pallet 5 is laterally moved by a predetermined drive device on the traveling carriage 4 and is transferred onto the storage base 1.

During this process, the empty elevator cage 3 can be moved up and down to pick up another waiting traveling carriage 4, or the waiting carriage can be placed at the left end of FIG. It is also possible to stack the traveling carriages 4 placed and carry them to the exit. Here, by ensuring at least a space for waiting the traveling vehicle 4 on the left side of the elevating part of the left elevating cage 3, the above-described stroke becomes possible. In other words,
By installing the ascending / descending position of the ascending / descending cage 3 closer to the center, at least two traveling carriages 4 can simultaneously perform the vehicle transport processing on the same floor.

That is, the feature of the present invention is that the transport carriage and the traveling carriage are placed on the elevating cage 3 and the traveling carriages are simultaneously moved up and down to achieve the most efficient loading and unloading work of the vehicle.
It is possible to send an unlimited number of carrier vehicles to any floor.
This eliminates the conventional lifting and lowering of the empty elevator cage to the utmost limit and enhances the operating efficiency of the elevator cage.

Further, since the lifting space for the lifting cage 3 is provided in the moving space 2 between the parking spaces S, it is possible to easily add the lifting cage 3 without special work such as crushing the existing storage base. Become.

An embodiment for achieving the system of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the lift cage 3 is stopped on a predetermined floor. Traveling rails 7 each having a substantially U-shaped cross section are arranged in parallel with the parking space S in the moving space 2 between the parking spaces S and S formed by the storage table 1. Here, the traveling rail 7 does not exist in the vertical ascending / descending space of the ascending / descending cage 3, and a so-called cutout portion of the traveling rail is formed.

The elevating cage 3 mainly has a base 8 and holding rails 9 arranged in parallel on both sides of the base 8, and can be moved up and down by an elevating chain 11 connected by a hanging metal fitting 10, for example. ing. It is obvious that various elevating means can be adopted without using a lifting metal fitting or an elevating chain for elevating.

The traveling carriage 4 mounted on the elevating cage 3 has a plurality of wheels 12 on the left and right, and a holding rail 9 and a traveling rail 7 by a self-propelled motor (not shown).
It is designed to be able to run back and forth in the holding rail 9
From the drive rail 1 to the predetermined position.
