Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mechanical parking facility for loading and unloading a vehicle from a loading and unloading section to and from a vehicle storage section constructed on the ground or underground, and particularly to a turning means for turning the vehicle in the loading and unloading section. Related to reducing the turning space.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as mechanical parking equipment, for example, JP-A-63-300175 and JP-A-58-1.
As disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 60477 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-75264, lateral transfer paths extending in the lateral direction for storing a vehicle together with a pallet are vertically formed, and the lateral transfer paths are formed at both ends of the lateral transfer paths. It is configured to transfer pallets to and from each lateral transfer path,
It is known that a delivery means such as a lift is provided at one end of each of the lateral transfer paths so as to communicate with a loading / unloading section for loading / unloading a vehicle.

At the time of warehousing, a vehicle is loaded onto an empty pallet which is waiting to be lifted in the warehousing section, and then the pallet is lowered to one side of a desired lateral transfer path by the delivery means, and the pallet is transferred to the side of the desired lateral transfer path. Vehicles and pallets will be paid out and stored in an empty space. On the other hand, at the time of warehousing, all the pallets in the horizontal transfer path where the target pallet exists and all the pallets in the horizontal transfer path above (or below) the pallet are formed between these two horizontal transfer paths. The pallets are circulated one by one along the line, and the intended pallet is delivered to the delivery means at one end side of the horizontal transfer path, and the delivery means causes the vehicle to leave the loading / unloading section.

By the way, in order to improve the smoothness of loading and unloading of the mechanical parking facility, a delivery space for exclusively delivering the vehicle to the delivery means is provided adjacent to the delivery room in addition to the original loading and unloading space. The applicant has previously applied for a vehicle in which a vehicle that has entered the storage space is slid horizontally and transferred to the transfer space (see Japanese Patent Application No. 7-285954). This mechanical parking facility is, as shown in FIG.
In the width direction of the vehicle b, there is a loading / unloading space d that allows the vehicle b to move in and out by self-propelled movement, and a delivery space g that transfers the vehicle b laterally with the pallet c between the loading / unloading space d. A delivery means f for delivering the vehicle b together with the pallet c between the vehicle storage section e, which is provided adjacent to each other and is formed of storage shelves e1 and e2 arranged in a row underground (or above the ground) and the delivery space g. Is provided, and the vehicle b is horizontally moved together with the pallet c between the spaces d and g so that the space between the spaces d and g is exchanged. The transfer means f is a lift i that moves up and down with respect to the transfer space g, and the lift i and the storage shelves e1 and e2.
And a carrier cart h for carrying the vehicle b together with the pallet c. Further, the carrier vehicle h is also provided with an elevating device h1 for elevating the space between the loading and unloading space d.

At the time of warehousing, after the vehicle b is placed on the pallet c waiting in the warehousing / unloading space d, the vehicle b is transferred to the transfer space g together with the pallet c and the lift i is lowered. Then, the vehicle b is delivered together with the pallet c, and then the carrier cart h is transferred to the predetermined storage shelf e1.
(Or e2) is run to the side and the vehicle b is stored in the storage rack e1 (or e2) together with the pallet c. On the other hand, at the time of leaving the warehouse, the vehicle b together with the pallet c is stored in the storage shelf e1 (or e
After paying out from 2) to the transport carriage h, the transport carriage h
To the side of the lift i to drive the vehicle b to the lift i.
Are delivered together with the pallet c, and then the lift i is raised to the delivery space g so that the vehicle b can be delivered from the storage space d. Further, independently of the operation of the lift i, the transfer carriage h directly transfers the pallets c to and from the storage space d to improve the smoothness of storage.

[0006]

However, in the mechanical parking facility in which the loading / unloading space d and the transfer space g are provided in the loading / unloading space a, the vehicle entrance direction of the loading / unloading space d is considered due to the layout of the loading / unloading space a. When the entry and exit of the vehicle b is performed through the entrance / exit opening that opens in the foreground, it is necessary to perform either the entry at the time of entry or the exit at the time of exit from the entry / exit entrance in reverse. Vehicle b
It will be very difficult to get in and out of.

For this reason, as shown in FIG. 14, a turning means m having a turntable m1 for changing the advancing / retreating direction of the vehicle b together with the pallet c is attached to the loading / unloading part a. It is conceivable that the vehicle b can be turned 180 degrees together with the pallet c by the turning means m when the vehicle b that has entered the warehousing is turned so that the vehicle b can be moved forward and backward from the forward / backward combined opening n. However, the turning center o of the turning means m
If the (axis center of the turntable m1) is provided so as to coincide with the center p (lift core p) of the lift i in the transfer space g, in order to prevent interference when the elevating device h1 moves up into the storage space d. It is necessary to arrange the loading / unloading space d and the transfer / receiving space g apart from each other so that the turntable m1 portion does not overlap the loading / unloading space d in plan view. Moreover, because of the structure in which the pallet c at the turning position is extracted downward by the delivery means f, the turning drive unit cannot be provided below the turning position, so that the periphery of the pallet c is supported and the turning track is formed by a guide rail or the like. Since it is necessary to rotate while guiding and supporting, the turning means m requires a turntable m1 larger than the pallet c, a large floor area is required for the loading / unloading part a, and the lift core p also travels the transport carriage h considerably. The vehicle storage part e itself is considerably large because it is offset to the outside of the road.

On the other hand, although not shown, if the turning center o of the turning means m is provided so as to coincide with the center of the loading / unloading space d, the transfer of the lift i to the transfer space g is prevented in order to prevent interference. It is necessary to arrange the two spaces apart from each other so that the turntable portion does not overlap the space g in a plan view. Similarly, a large floor area is required for the loading / unloading section, and the lift core p is considerably large. Carrier truck h
Is offset to the outside of the travel path of the vehicle and becomes a large vehicle storage section.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to eliminate the turntable and to make the turning locus of the turning means overlap both spaces in a plan view only when the vehicle turns. The turning means is configured to suppress an increase in the floor area of the loading / unloading section and the vehicle storage section.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a turning means that does not interfere with both spaces in a stopped state before turning the vehicle.

Specifically, the solution means taken by the invention according to claim 1 transfers a vehicle between an entry / exit space for allowing entry and exit of the vehicle by self-propelling and the entry / exit space. A delivery space is provided adjacent to the loading / unloading portion in the vehicle width direction, delivery means for delivering the vehicle is provided between the vehicle storage portion and the delivery space, and a vehicle is provided between the two spaces. Assuming a mechanical parking facility provided with a horizontal moving means for horizontally moving the vehicle, a turning means for turning the vehicle between the two spaces while the vehicle is stopped between the two spaces by the horizontal moving means. Set up. In the non-turning state, the turning means is housed between the two spaces and stopped so as not to interfere with the two spaces. In the turning state, the turning locus of the turning means exceeds the two spaces in plan view. It is turning so that it can be wrapped.

With this configuration, in the invention according to claim 1, in the non-turning state, the turning means is housed between the two spaces and does not interfere with the two spaces (that is, the turning means does not interfere with the delivery means). However, only in the turning state, the turning locus of the turning means overlaps both spaces in a plan view. Therefore, when turning the vehicle with a large turntable, the separation distance between the two spaces, which was necessary to avoid interference between the turntable part and one space, was The size is reduced to the extent that the swivel means does not interfere with the two spaces, that is, the dimension in the width direction of the swivel means in the non-swirl state, and the floor area of the storage part is reduced accordingly. In addition, since the turning center of the turning means is located between both spaces, the vehicle storage unit does not increase to one space side, and the turning drive unit can be provided below the turning position, which is large. The turntable can be eliminated and the turning means can be downsized, the floor area of the loading and unloading section can be reduced, and the parts price of the turning means can be considerably reduced.

[0013] The solution taken by the invention of claim 2 is as follows.
In addition to the constituent features of the invention described in claim 1, the vehicle is loaded and unloaded on a pallet at the time of loading and unloading.

With this configuration, according to the second aspect of the present invention, different vehicles can be delivered for each vehicle type by the pallet of the same standard, and the delivery work can be performed smoothly and reliably. Moreover, the supporting range of the pallet at the time of turning can be accommodated within the projection plane of the pallet sufficient to support the pallet, so that the turning means can be downsized, and as a result, the separation distance between both spaces can be further shortened. It becomes possible to do.

The solution provided by the invention of claim 3 is as follows.
The turning center of the turning means of the invention according to claim 1 or 2 is specified, and the turning means is provided at a substantially intermediate position between both spaces.

With this configuration, in the invention according to the third aspect, the turning locus of the turning means overlaps the two spaces substantially evenly in a plan view, and the distances between the two spaces are made substantially equal by the overlapping portions. The spaces in both the spaces are shortened substantially uniformly, and accordingly, the floor area of the loading / unloading part is reduced to the maximum extent, and the increase in the vehicle storage part is efficiently suppressed without being biased to one space side.

The solution taken by the invention according to claim 4 is as follows.
A structure in which the swivel means of the invention according to claim 2 or 3 is limited, and the upper surface side of the partition portion extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body and having a width substantially the same as the partition portion partitioning the two spaces has a rectangular shape in a plan view. It is what

With this configuration, in the invention according to the fourth aspect, the distance between the two spaces is substantially the same as that of the partition between the two spaces, even though the turning means is provided. While the floor area is effectively reduced,
The increase in the vehicle storage section is also effectively suppressed.

The means for solving the problems according to the invention of claim 5 is as follows.
A lift that specifies the delivery means of the invention according to any one of claims 2 to 4 and that moves up and down with respect to a delivery space, a plurality of storage shelves provided in a vehicle storage portion, and the lift. And a carrier truck for transferring pallets between them. In addition, a pallet entrance will be provided in the storage space. Then, an elevating device is provided on the carrier vehicle, and the elevating device is configured to elevate and lower to the loading / unloading space where pallets can be transferred between the carrier vehicle and the pallet entrance / exit.

With this configuration, in the invention according to the fifth aspect, when the succeeding vehicle is stored in succession after the preceding vehicle,
For example, an empty pallet is transported to a position facing the pallet entrance / exit of the loading / unloading space by the transporting trolley, and lifted up / down to the loading / unloading space by the lifting / lowering device, until the empty pallet is ready for delivery to the transporting trolley of the preceding vehicle. It is possible to hold the pallet at the entrance / exit of the pallet and be prepared for warehousing of the following vehicle, and it is not necessary to wait for the following vehicle until the warehousing operation of the preceding vehicle at the time of warehousing is completed. On the other hand, when the succeeding vehicle is to be unloaded subsequent to the preceding vehicle, for example, the elevating device of the carrier vehicle is moved up and down to the loading / unloading space until the succeeding vehicle is lifted into the transfer space. By transferring the pallet from the pallet door to the carrier, and preparing for unloading of the following vehicle so that there is no pallet in the loading / unloading space, it is possible to store the pallet that is emptied after the unloading of the preceding vehicle. There is no need to wait for the following vehicle during the period.

Further, the solution means taken by the invention of claim 6 limits the turning means of the invention of any one of claims 2 to 5, and the one of the two spaces changes from one to the other. The pallet includes a swivel support member that supports the pallet from below the moving horizontal plane when the pallet is horizontally moved, a swivel operation unit that swivels the swivel support member, and an elevating unit that moves the swivel support member up and down. Further, the swivel support member is provided between the retreat position for retracting the elevating means below the moving horizontal plane and the swivel position for performing swivel operation by the swivel operating means in a state where the pallet is lifted above the moving horizontal plane. Is configured to be raised and lowered.

With this structure, in the pallet according to the present invention, the pallet is allowed to move horizontally between both spaces by lowering the swivel support member to the retracted position below the moving horizontal plane, while the swivel support is provided. The member is lifted to a turning position above the moving horizontal plane and turns in an empty space above both spaces. As a result, even if the pallet in the non-turning state interferes with both spaces on the moving horizontal plane at the retracted position of the turning support member, the pallet is lifted from the moving horizontal plane at the turning position and interferes with both spaces. However, by rotating the pallet at this turning position, the separation distance between both spaces is comparable to the one without a turning means without being restricted by the widthwise dimension of the pallet on the moving horizontal plane. The floor area of the loading / unloading section is dramatically reduced, and the increase in the vehicle storage section is effectively suppressed.

So that it does not interfere with

Now, a procedure for loading and unloading the mechanical parking facility constructed as described above will be described. In this case, as a premise, the entry / exit side pallet entrance / exit 5a of the entry / exit space 5
, The empty pallet P is held by the pallet holding device 12 in the advanced state, and the loading platform 29 of the carrier vehicle 10 stands by at the highest position, and a lift is made at the delivery side pallet entrance / exit 6a of the delivery space 6. It is assumed that 7 is waiting to rise.

At the time of warehousing, the vehicle C that has entered the warehousing / unloading space 5 forward is stopped on the pallet P and the occupant disembarks, and then the respective telescopic cylinders 67 are synchronously extended to each divided portion 65a of the entry / exit area 65. .About.65c (floor surface) is moved to the upper avoidance position, and the elevating motor 71 is activated to raise the elevating deck 68 (floor surface) of the transfer space 6 to the ascending position for avoiding interference with the vehicle-mounted pallet P.
Next, the vehicle-mounted pallet P is transferred from the loading / unloading space 5 to the transfer space 6 on the moving horizontal plane by the operation of the horizontal moving device 46 on the mounting table 29, and then transferred to the lift 7 in the transfer space 6. Then, when the delivery of the vehicle-mounted pallet P to the lift 7 is completed, the arms 53 and 55 of the horizontal moving device 46 are contracted so that the loading table 29 of the carrier 10 is moved to the lowered position of the lift 7 together with the horizontal moving device 46. And lower it. After that, the vehicle-mounted pallet P is lowered from the lift 7 to the storage floor 3 and transferred to the transport carriage 10, and then the transport carriage 10 is stored in the predetermined storage shelf 9.
The vehicle-mounted pallet P is stored in the storage shelf 9 by traveling laterally. When the succeeding vehicle C is subsequently stored after the preceding vehicle C, the empty pallet P is conveyed to the conveying carriage 10 until the leading vehicle C is ready to be delivered to the conveying carriage 10.
In order to prepare for the entry of the succeeding vehicle C, the empty pallet P is held in the entry / exit side pallet entry / exit 5a by being conveyed to a position directly below the entry / exit side pallet entry / exit 5a of the entry / exit space 5 and raised to the highest position.

On the other hand, when leaving the garage, the vehicle-mounted pallet P is stored in the storage shelf 9
After delivering to the carrier 10, the carrier 10 is moved to the side of the lift 7 to deliver the vehicle-mounted pallet P to the lift 7. After this, the loading platform 29 of the carrier 10 is raised to the entry / exit side pallet entrance / exit 5a of the entry / exit space 5, and then the lift 7 moves the vehicle-mounted pallet P up to the transfer space 6, and each of the horizontal movement devices 46 is moved. The arms 53 and 55 are extended to the transfer space side to engage the roller 56 with the engaging groove P1 of the vehicle-mounted pallet P, and the vehicle-mounted pallet P in the transfer space 6 is moved toward the loading / unloading space 5 on a horizontal plane. Let Then, when the on-vehicle pallet P comes directly above the turning device 84, the operation of the horizontal moving device 46 is stopped to temporarily stop the on-vehicle pallet P, and the engagement with the engagement groove P1 by the roller 56 of the horizontal moving device 46. Then, the first and second arms 53 and 55 are contracted to support the on-vehicle pallet C on the moving horizontal surface in a free state. Next, after the elevator 86 raises the swivel support member 85 together with the on-vehicle pallet P above the moving horizontal plane to transfer the in-vehicle pallet P to the upper portion 85b of the swivel support member 85, the swivel motor 87 is activated to move the upper portion 85b. Is rotated 180 ° with respect to the lower portion 85a. Then, the turning support member 8 is lifted by the elevator 86.

Back to the moving horizontal plane, the first and second arms 53 and 55 of the horizontal moving device 46 are extended, and the engagement with the engaging groove P1 by the roller 56 is performed again to deliver the vehicle-mounted pallet P to the loading / unloading space 5. After that, the telescopic cylinders 67 are contracted in synchronization with each other, and the divided parts 65a to 6a of the entry / exit area 65 are separated.
5c is moved to the horizontal lying position, and the lifting motor 71 is activated to lower the lifting deck 68 of the transfer space 6 to the lowered position. When the succeeding vehicle C is to be unloaded subsequent to the preceding vehicle C, the empty pallet P in the loading / unloading space 5 is loaded / unloaded by the lift 7 until the trailing vehicle C is loaded into the transfer space 6. It is delivered from the pallet entrance / exit 5a to the carrier vehicle 10 so that the pallet P does not exist in the entry / exit space 5 and is prepared for the exit of the following vehicle C.

Therefore, in the above embodiment, the swivel support member 85 is housed on the upper surface of the partition wall 2a between the spaces 5 and 6 in a non-swirl state so as not to interfere with the spaces 5 and 6, Only in this state, the turning locus S of the upper portion 85b of the turning support member 85 overlaps the spaces 5 and 6 in a plan view.

In this case, the pallet P has the swivel support member 8
By lowering 5 to a retracted position below the moving horizontal surface, horizontal movement of the pallet P between the spaces 5 and 6 is allowed. On the other hand, since the vehicle-mounted pallet P is lifted by the swivel support member 85 to the swivel position above the moving horizontal plane, and the pallet P moves up and down between the retracted position and the swivel position of the swivel support member 85 in a non-swiveled state. Even if the pallet P in the non-turning state interferes with both spaces 5 and 6 on the moving horizontal plane at the retracted position of the turning support member 85, at the turning position, the pallet P is lifted from the moving horizontal plane and both spaces are moved. The vehicle pallet P does not interfere with the vehicle 5 and 6 and the space above the both spaces 5 and 6 is effectively utilized by the ascent to the turning position.
Turns. Therefore, when the vehicle is turned by a large turntable, the separation distance between the spaces 5 and 6 required to avoid the interference between the turntable portion and one space is the pallet P on the moving horizontal plane. It is shortened to the extent comparable to the case where the swivel device 84 is not attached without being restricted by the widthwise dimension, and the floor area of the loading / unloading section 4 can be dramatically reduced. Moreover, the swivel device 84 is provided such that the swivel center M thereof is located at the center of the partition wall 2a between the spaces 5 and 6, and the entire radial direction of the swirl locus S of the upper portion 85b is in the spaces 5 and 6. Since the doorways 5a and 6a are overlapped so as to extend over the doorways 5a and 6a substantially evenly in a plan view, the storage floor 3 can be efficiently suppressed without being biased toward one space side.

Further, the swivel device 84 is provided in both spaces 5,
The partition wall 2a has a rectangular shape with almost the same size as the width of the partition wall 2a, and is housed along the upper surface of the partition wall 2a in the non-swirl state. The cost of parts can be reduced considerably. Further, the delivery of the vehicle C is carried out by the pallet P of the same standard
By doing so, the transfer work can be made smooth and reliable.

Moreover, the pallet entrance / exit 5 on the loading / unloading side for transferring the pallet P from the carrier 10 to the loading / unloading space 5
Since a is provided, when the succeeding vehicle C is loaded after the preceding vehicle C, an empty pallet P is loaded by the transporting vehicle 10 until the delivery of the preceding vehicle C to the transporting vehicle 10 is ready. When the pallet entrance / exit side 5a of the exit / entry space 5 is conveyed and raised, and the empty pallet P is held in the entry / exit pallet entrance / exit 5a to prepare for the entry of the succeeding vehicle C, the advance at the time of entry It is not necessary to wait for the succeeding vehicle C until the storage operation of the vehicle C is completed. On the other hand, when the succeeding vehicle C is to be unloaded subsequent to the preceding vehicle C, the succeeding vehicle C is lifted by the lift 7 in the transfer space 6
The empty pallet P in the loading / unloading space 5 is transferred from the loading / unloading side pallet entrance / exit 5a to the transfer carriage 10 until it is loaded into
By arranging the pallet P in the storage space 5 so that the pallet P does not exist in the storage space 5 and preparing for the unloading of the following vehicle C, the pallet P that has become empty after the unloading of the preceding vehicle C is stored. The waiting of the following vehicle C becomes unnecessary. Thereby, the loading / unloading efficiency of the vehicle C can be improved.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, but includes various modifications. For example, in the above embodiment, the vehicle C is turned by the turning device 84 together with the pallet P, but only the vehicle may be turned by the turning device.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the turning device 84 is used as the lifter 8.
Although it is configured so as to be able to move up and down by means of 6, if a space is provided between both spaces on the moving horizontal plane of the pallet for the size of the vehicle alone or the widthwise dimension of the pallet, the vehicle or pallet will move on the moving horizontal plane between both spaces. May be made to rotate, and in that case, the lifting device is not required in the turning device, and the cost of the turning device can be further reduced.

In the above embodiment, the turning device 84 is also provided.
The center of rotation M of the pallet is located at the center position of the partition wall 2a which is substantially the center of both spaces 5 and 6. However, if the pallet's turning loci overlap each other in plan view in the turning state, the pallet turns. The position of the center is not particularly limited. Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the pallet P is moved between the loading / unloading space 5 and the transfer space 6, the horizontal moving device 46 provided in the carrier 10 is used, but the present invention is not limited to this. A horizontal moving device may be provided on the side,
In this case, if a pallet holding device 12 similar to the pallet entrance / exit 5a on the receiving / delivering side is arranged also on the pallet entrance / exit 6a on the transfer side, the carrier cart 10 can be moved when the pallet is moved between both spaces.
Also, the degree of freedom of the lift 7 is increased, and it is possible to further improve the loading / unloading efficiency.

Further, in the above embodiment, the entry / exit side pallet entrance / exit 5a is provided in the entry / exit space 5. However, the entry / exit side pallet entrance / exit may not be provided in the entry / exit space. The pallet is not transferred between the delivery space and the carrier, and the horizontal movement device is also separately provided between the support frames of the lift.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the vehicle-mounted pallet P is swiveled when the vehicle C is transferred together with the pallet P from the delivery space 6 to the loading / unloading space 5 at the time of exiting. Needless to say, the vehicle-mounted pallet may be turned between the two spaces when it is delivered to the space. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to various other mechanical parking facilities, and is not limited to the above-ground type, the underground type, the storage system and the circulation system of the vehicle, etc. The present invention can be applied to all those provided with a loading / unloading section in which a boarding space and a delivery space are adjacent to each other.
