Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten a vehicle operation time, and easily park a vehicle in restricted space by placing the vehicle on a truck moved to the ends of rails and then moving the truck to the other ends of the rails for housing the vehicle in parking space. SOLUTION: When the existence or non-existence of an obstacle is detected with an obstacle detection device 8 and a signal is sent to a control device 1, a motor 7 begins to operate and a truck 3 travels along rails 2 to the ends thereof at the side of a public road A. A vehicle is, then, driven to and placed on the truck 3. When a body length detection device 4 confirms the existence of the vehicle on the truck 3 and at the same time, the obstruction detection device 8 confirms the non-existence of an obstruction in parking space nearer a footpath, the control device 1 receives signals from the devices 4 and 8, and drives the motor 7. As a result, the truck 3 travels on the rails 2 and is stored in housing space at the ends of the rails 2 nearer the footpath. According to this constriction, the vehicle can be quickly moved from the public road A to housing space, and easily parked even when the public road A at the front is narrow.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a parking facility applied to a parking space on a road or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In current parking spaces on public roads, it is necessary to provide an interval between vehicles in front and behind in order to perform parallel parking. In addition, since it takes time to perform parallel parking, the following vehicle is stopped, which causes traffic congestion.

Further, in a house with a narrow front road,
If the depth of the parking space is not sufficient and there is not enough space and operation space, it is very difficult to enter the garage.

An object of the present invention is to provide a parking facility which can solve the above problems.

[0005]

A parking facility according to the present invention comprises a rail provided on the ground, a bogie movable on the rail, an obstacle detecting device provided on both sides in the moving direction of the bogie, and the bogie. A vehicle length detecting device provided in a direction transverse to the moving direction, a control device for receiving signals from the obstacle detecting device and the vehicle length detecting device, and a bogie driving unit controlled by the control device. Features.

In the present invention, after the control device receiving the signal of the obstacle detection device has confirmed that there is no obstacle, the control device moves the bogie on the rail to one end of the rail via the bogie driving unit. A car is placed on the cart. At this time, the vehicle length detecting device detects the length and position of the vehicle on the trolley, confirms that the vehicle is on the trolley, and inputs the signal to the control device.

[0007] After confirming that there is no obstacle in the control device receiving the signal of the obstacle detection device, the control device moves the bogie on the rail in the opposite direction to the above via the bogie drive unit. Move to the other end of the rail and store it in the parking space.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the side road zone of the public road A, two pairs of I-shaped rails 2 and 2 are provided so as to protrude from the sidewalk B to the side road zone of the public road A in a direction orthogonal to the sidewalk B. .

Reference numeral 3 denotes a bogie having a rectangular shape movable on the rails 2, 2. Both ends 3A of the bogie 3 in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the bogie 3 are inclined downward so that the car runs on its own. 3 is easy to put on.

A guide rail 6 for holding the upper part of the I-shaped rail 2 from both ends is provided at a lower portion of the carriage 3, and a plurality of running wheels 5 running on a road are provided at a lower portion of the guide rail 6. Is provided. Reference numeral 7 denotes a motor which is attached to a lower portion of the truck 3 and drives the traveling wheels 5. The traveling wheel 5 and the motor 7 form a bogie driving unit.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a plurality of obstacle detection devices provided on both sides of the carriage 3 in the moving direction. Reference numeral 4 denotes the obstacle detection device on the carriage 3 in a direction perpendicular to the rail 2 so as to cross the moving direction of the carriage 3. Is a vehicle length detection device provided in the vehicle. Reference numeral 1 denotes a control device that receives signals from the obstacle detection device 8 and the vehicle length detection device 4 and controls the motor 7.

In the present embodiment configured as described above, the carriage 3 is waiting at a position on the side of the sidewalk B on the rail 2. When parking a car, the obstacle detection device 8
When the presence or absence of an obstacle on the side of the public road A is detected and it is confirmed that there is no obstacle, the controller 7 which receives a signal from the obstacle detector 8 drives the motor 7 to move the carriage 3 to the rail 2. It moves up to one end of the rail 2 on the public road A side. The car is driven and placed on the cart 3 moved in this manner.

At this time, the vehicle length detecting device 4 detects the length and position of the vehicle on the trolley 3, confirms that the vehicle is on the trolley 3, and sends a signal to the control device 3. The obstacle detection device 8 detects the presence or absence of an obstacle such as a parking space near the sidewalk B, and sends a signal to the control device 1.

When it is confirmed that the car is on the trolley 3 and there is no obstacle in the parking space near the sidewalk, the control device 1 drives the motor 7 and the trolley 3 on which the car is mounted. And the rail 2 are moved in the direction of the sidewalk B, and the car and the trolley 3 are stored in the storage space at the end of the rail 2 near the sidewalk.

In this manner, the vehicle can be quickly stored in the storage space from the public road, and can be easily stored even when the front public road is narrow.

If a plurality of parking facilities according to the present embodiment are provided along the sidewalk B, parallel parking can be easily performed. Further, the present embodiment is installed on a public road having a sidewalk, but the present invention can also be used for a house having a narrow parking space.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, parking can be easily performed, the time required for maneuvering for parking can be reduced, and the parking space can be effectively used.
