Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a cage stop control device in a vertical circulation parking system that stores a mixture of cars of different heights.

[Prior Art] A vertical circulation parking device generally has a plurality of cages suspended at equal intervals from an endless drive chain installed vertically, and is driven in circulation.

Figure 4 A, B, a shows a cage for ordinary cars (passenger cars),
The middle frames in FIGS. 5A and 5B show cages for high-roof vehicles (commercial vehicles), and each of the cages a and b is suspended and supported from a drive chain C via an attachment d and a bearing C. However, the height f of the ordinary car cage a from its supporting floor surface to the bearing e is small, and the height g of the high roof car cage b is large compared to this. When cages a and b of different sizes are mixed and provided in the same parking device, because they all have the same stopping position, a step is created between the support floor surface of the cage and the entrance floor surface. In the case shown, the height of the entrance floor surface is made to match the support floor surface of the high roof car cage b as shown in FIG. 5B, so the height of the entrance floor surface and A step j occurs between the W'ar car cage a and the supporting floor surface. For this reason, it is conceivable to provide a transfer device j that can be raised and lowered freely, but if such a transfer device j is provided, an operation for that purpose is required, or a control l load, etc. for that purpose is also required. The equipment becomes expensive and its driving power is also required permanently. Furthermore, the presence of an inclined surface created by the transfer device ゛j when taking the car into and out of the cage is undesirable because it forces the driver to perform extra driving operations and use his/her nerves. Furthermore, a device similar to the transfer device described above is required for people to get on and off the vehicle.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The present invention automatically shifts the C stop timing according to the height dimension of each cage to match the stop height position of the supporting floor surface when cages storing cars with different vehicle heights are arranged in a mixed manner. By doing so, the transfer device is intended to be omitted.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention relates to a cage stop control device for a vertical circulation parking system that stores a mixture of cars of varying vehicle heights, in which a cage that stores a car with a small vehicle height and a cage that stores a car that stores a vehicle with a large vehicle height stop. This invention relates to a cage stop control device in a vertical circulation parking device, characterized in that a stop position setting device is provided to match the stop height positions of the supporting floor surfaces of both cages at different times.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3 show an example of the present invention, in which an endless drive chain 3 is provided between an upper sprocket wheel 1 and a lower sprocket wheel 2. , the height dimension is designed to accommodate 4 regular cars.

A cage 5 for a small regular car and a cage 7 for a high roof car with a height dimension to accommodate a small cage 5 for a high roof car and a cage 7 for a large high roof car are attached via an attachment 8 at intervals of PIi*a.
a Mixed and installed.

However, in the above configuration, if the support floor surface of the cage 5 for a regular car is exactly aligned with the entrance/exit floor surface 9 when the cage 5 for a regular car reaches the lowest position as shown in FIG. .

A specific example for solving these problems will be explained with reference to FIG. A disc cam 12 is provided which is rotated by the rotation of the lower sprocket wheel 2 via a chain 11 provided on its center shaft 10, and the disc cam 12 is driven by a drive motor 13 to rotate the upper sprocket wheel. The drive chain 3 driven through lt
It is configured to rotate exactly once when the a ring is rotated. Further, cage stops *14 are formed on the disc cam 12 at required intervals, and the cage stops 11R14.

A stop position setting device 16 is configured by providing a microswitch 15 for detection.

The stop position signal 17 from the microswitch 15 is a control device! i18, and the control device 18
is the call signal 2 from the call button 20 of the call operation panel 19.
1 is input, and driving and stopping of the drive motor 13 is controlled by a control signal 22 from the control device 18.

In the case of FIG. 3, the cage 5 for ordinary cars is attached to every 4 links (pitch P, ) of the drive chain 3, and the cage 7 for high roof cars is attached every 5 links (pitch P, ).
installed on.

For this reason, the disc cam 12 is provided with a regular car cage stop WR 14a at a circumferential interval position P1 corresponding to the pitch P1 of the regular car cage 5, and at the same time as the pitch P of the high roof car cage 7. A high-roof vehicle cage stop* 14b is provided at a position shifted by an angle θ rearward in the rotational direction of the disc cam 12 from the corresponding interval position P.

Further, the control device 18 includes the microswitch 15
It detects and stores which cage is currently located on the entrance/exit floor using a signal 17 from 9, the drive motor 13 is activated by the stop normal position signal 17 from the micro switch 15.
drive is stopped.

As described above, when the ordinary car cage 5 is called by operating the call button 20, the drive chain 3 is driven in the direction of the arrow, and the called ordinary car cage 5 is moved to the doorway floor surface 9.
When the position [A position] is reached, the corresponding car stop groove 142 for ordinary cars is detected by the microswitch 15, and the drive of the drive motor 13 is immediately stopped by the stop position signal 17.

Further, when the high roof car cage 7 is called out, the corresponding high roof car cage stop groove 14b is detected by the microswitch 15, so that the drive motor 1 is stopped.
3 is stopped. At this time, the position of the high roof car cage stop groove 14b is adjusted to the pitch P of the high roof car cage 7.
Since the interval position P corresponding to 2 is shifted by an angle θ backward in the rotational direction of the disc cam 12, the stop timing is delayed and the high roof car cage 7 stops at position B where it starts to rise from the lowest position. As a result, the heights of the cage support floor surface and the entrance/exit floor surface 9 will match. Therefore,
Even if the height dimension of the cage changes, the support floor surface of each cage can always be made to match the entrance/exit floor surface 9, so there is no need for a transfer device, etc., and furthermore, it is possible to easily insert and remove the car. can.

In the above embodiment, the car entrance is located at the lowest position.
The above-mentioned stop position setting device can be similarly applied even when there is an entrance/exit portion in the
It is possible to adopt a combination of these methods, and if the cage is stopped when the cage is raised and aligned with the entrance/exit part, the timing of stopping the cage storing a large car is delayed, but it is stopped when the cage is lowered. In this case, the cage that stores a large car should be stopped earlier than the other cages, and the supporting floor of the cage should be aligned with the stopping position so that it does not interfere with loading and unloading the car. It goes without saying that the present invention includes steps that do not occur, and that various other changes may be made without departing from the gist of the invention.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the cage stop control device in the vertical circulation parking device of the present invention, the following excellent effects can be achieved.

(i) By automatically staggering the stop timing of the cages that store cars with different vehicle heights, the cage support floor surface is at the same level when the cages enter and exit the parking lot. It becomes easier for people to transfer to a car.

G) Regarding the above, no special transfer device is required.

■The cycle time is shortened by the above.

Application to existing Gvl parking devices is also easily possible.
