Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a cover device for pallet slits in a pallet for storing vehicle bodies used in multi-level mechanical parking facilities for vehicles such as bicycles.

For the structure of this type of multi-level mechanical parking equipment, a structural method using suspended vehicle body storage pallets (hereinafter referred to as the suspended stacking method) is known, and in parking equipment using this method,
Since the access to and access of a large number of shared bicycles is managed on a rental basis, that is, on a first-in, first-out basis, it has the advantage that the bicycle bodies can be stored tightly and there is no waiting time when bringing in and taking out bicycles. ,
It is considered to be sufficiently practical even if installed in areas with high land prices, such as in front of stations.

By the way, the concrete structure of the suspended stacking method is that multiple pallets on which many car bodies are placed in parallel are connected vertically to each other via metal fittings such as folding links, and then are stacked from the ceiling of a tower-shaped building. When the pallets are suspended so that they can be operated for landing and each pallet is lowered and stacked on the floor of the pit, the metal objects broken under their own weight will be stored in the storage slits of each pallet. is formed.

Therefore, in order for these pallets to be used, the pallet on the top level is first raised to the level of the loading/unloading floor of the car body, and when that pallet is full, the next pallet in the pit is loaded/unloaded. It is designed to be lifted to the floor.

In this way, users come in and out of the pallets on the loading/unloading floor to bring in and take out vehicles, but since the storage slits are open at the four corners of the pallets, there is a risk of users accidentally hitting the slits. There is a high possibility that one's foot may fall into it, and some kind of countermeasure is required to prevent this kind of danger.

The present invention has been made in response to the above-mentioned needs, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a pallet slit cover device that automatically covers the pallet storage slits on the loading/unloading floor. Our goal is to provide the following.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on an illustrated embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the cover device of the embodiment is installed on the inner wall of the hem of each left and right side wall 1 of a tower-type hollow building that forms the framework of the parking facility. , is attached to a rectangular recess 1a formed by digging into the inner wall.

This building has a ceiling 2 at a height close to the attic, and at the lower end of the front wall 3 there is a floor G for carrying out bicycles C.
Gate 3a is opened in contact with L, and ceiling 2
A winch 5 is installed on the attic of the building to lift and drive a number of pallets corresponding to the height of the building. Four hanging wires 6 are wound up.

However, several pallets (i.e. the top pallet)4
The pallets A, the middle pallet 4B, and the lowest pallet 4C are connected to each other by folding links 7 at the four corners whose centers are articulated, and the upper ends of the upper half of the links 7, Each of the lower ends of the lower half of the link 7 has a longitudinal storage slit 8 that vertically penetrates along the side wall 1 at the four corners of the upper panel, and a slit 8 that is similarly opened in the lower panel. The illustrated pallets 4B are respectively pivotally connected to horizontally suspended support shafts and stacked in the pit 9 of the building.
The links between 4C are housed in the slits 8 of each pallet.

In addition, rollers (not shown) are pivotally attached to the end faces of the four corners of each pallet 4A, 4B, and 4C.
, 4B, and 4G, the same rollers slide against the inner wall of the building, and their rolling is blocked.

By the way, in the illustrated pallet hanging mode, the wire 6 of the winch 5 is wound around the top pallet 4A and the second middle pallet 4B because each of the stored bicycles C is full, and the third pallet 4B is suspended from the third pallet. The middle pallet 4B is on the unloading hole floor G
The bicycle C is shown pulled up to a height of L, and on the third stage pallet 4B, a user who entered the room from game 3a is handling the bicycle C.

Furthermore, after this state, if the third tier pallet 4B becomes full, the winch 5 is reeled in to raise the fourth tier pallet 4B to the height of the floor GL, and vice versa. When the pallet 4B becomes empty, the winch 5 is unwound to lower the second pallet 4B to the height of the floor GL and set it on the same plane as the floor GL.

By the way, in the front and rear parts of the recessed part 1a of each of the left and right side walls 1, the swinging shaft 10a of the swinging cover 10 made of a longitudinal rectangular plate is pivotally supported by a bracket 11 fixed horizontally in the recessed part 1a. A reel-shaped driven wheel 12 is rotatably fixed to one of the protruding parts of the swing shaft 10a.

A transmission wire 15 is tied to the lower end of the return spring 14 whose upper end is hung on the protruding pin 13 of the recessed portion 1a, and the wire 15 is attached to the drum 12a of the driven wheel 12.
After the hook is turned, it is guided to pulleys 16 and 17, and the other end is connected to the operating rod of the actuator 18, which is attached to the lower end near the center of the recessed part 1a, and the front and rear wires 15 are tied together as one body. has been done.

Since the cover 10 is attached to the inner wall of the side wall 1 in this manner, in the illustrated embodiment in which the operating rod of the actuator 18 protrudes, the transmission wire 15 is pulled by the return spring 14 and the driven wheel 12 is moved as shown in FIG. By driving counterclockwise, the cover 10 rolls horizontally and closes the upper surface of the storage slit 8. Conversely, when the operating rod is retracted against the elasticity of the spring 14, the driven wheel 12 is moved to the second position. The cover 10 is swung clockwise in FIG.
evacuate from the pallet lift path.

The stroke of the operating rod of the actuator 18 is set with a margin, so even if the pallet stops at a position lower than the normal position, the operating rod of the actuator 18 will move further than the normal position. As the pallet comes out, the driven wheel 12 is pulled by the spring 14 and rotates counterclockwise in FIG.

Conversely, when the pallet stops above the stop position, the cover 10 comes into contact with the pallet earlier, but the operating rod of the actuator 18 still continues to move out, so the wire 15 becomes slack, but the cover 10 There is no problem because the contact state with the pallet is maintained.

Next, a limit switch (not shown) is installed at a suitable location near the floor GL on the side wall 1, and the limit switch is activated to detect a pallet when any pallet reaches the floor GL. The output acts to drive the actuator 18 in the direction of protruding the operating rod, and also drives the actuator 18 in the retracting direction of the operating rod at times other than during detection.

In the bicycle parking facility equipped with the cover device of the embodiment configured as described above, since bicycles can be stored closely, the space efficiency is good, and the management of the entry and exit of bicycles can be done in a short period of time within the loading/unloading floor GL. In addition, when the pallets 4A, 4B, and 4C are lifted and lowered, the upper surface opening of the storage slit 8 of the pallet set at the height of the floor L is
Since the bicycle is automatically covered with the cover 10, the user does not have to worry about taking the bicycle in and out, and the user can bring in and take out the bicycle with peace of mind.

As described above, according to the pallet slit cover device according to the present invention, the link storage slit of a pallet for vehicle bodies and other devices set on the loading/unloading floor can be covered by a swinging cover pivotally supported on an indoor inner wall. Since it is configured so that it is automatically covered by the swinging part, the vehicle body can be brought onto a pallet and
The user who takes the vehicle out will not accidentally cause any trouble, and this will have the effect of improving the safety of the parking facility.
