Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a parking facility in which a plurality of vertical circulation parking devices are vertically arranged in a plurality of rows.

Conventionally, multiple vertical circulation parking systems have been arranged in tandem to store vehicles by circulating a large number of vehicle mounting cages in the vertical direction, and the last row of parking systems, farthest from the vehicle entrance, stores the total number of cages that can be installed. established,
Other parking devices include a plurality of tandem vertical circulation type parking facilities in which a cage cut-out portion is formed by removing one cage, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 46-26054.

However, as a practical matter, there is a considerable level difference between the floor surface when the vehicle enters the cage and when the vehicle passes through the cage cutout, so some kind of countermeasure is required, but as mentioned above, There is no mention of any means for this in the official bulletin, so it must be said that it is impossible to implement this as it stands.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, this invention has a simple structure and is designed to enable easy and selective entry of both cage entry and passage through the cutout, by making it possible to vertically circulate a large number of vehicle-mounted cages. A plurality of devices are arranged in tandem, an entrance is provided in the above-ground part in front of the frontmost parking row, and a communication port is opened in the above-ground part of the bulkhead of the parking device, and parking devices other than the last row have one less than the total number that can be installed. In a parking facility in which a cage is provided to form a cage-free portion, the floor surface of each of the parking rows is arranged in a stepwise manner relative to the floor surface of the entrance/exit portion, and the floor portion in front of each parking row except the rearmost parking row is provided with the floor surface of the parking row. A vertically swingable deck is disposed that can be raised and lowered using the floor as a pivot point by the operation of a lifting mechanism provided in the recess of the cage, thereby connecting its tip to the cage entry surface and the floor, respectively. , by calling the cage of the desired parking device, raising the deck in the desired parking device, arranging the lowest part of the cage in all parking devices on the front row side from the desired parking device, and moving from the entrance to the desired parking device. The present invention relates to a multi-parallel vertical circulation type parking facility, characterized in that it is equipped with a control device for interlocking the lowering operations of all the decks.

Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. For convenience of explanation, the left and right sides in FIG. 1 will be referred to as "front" or "front row", "rear" or "back row".

Figures 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention, in which the central part of one building 1 is separated from the front by a partition wall 1a.
The front tower 2a is divided into rear towers 2a and 2b, and an entrance/exit 3 is opened in the above-ground part of the front wall 1b of the front tower 2a.
It can be closed by a vertically movable entrance door 4 built into the tower b, and a communication port 5 between the towers 2a and 2b is also opened in the above-ground part of the partition wall 1a. Inside the front and rear towers 2a and 2b are vertical circulation type front and rear row parking devices 6a and 6b (however, a second
In the figure, a front row 6a and a rear row 6b are respectively abbreviated as built-in.

Of these, the front row parking device 6a has one less vehicle mounting cage 9 than the total number that can be hung at equal intervals on a pair of front and rear endless chains 8 wound between one pair of upper and lower sprockets 7a and 7b. When one cage 9 stops at the lowest position due to suspension and circulation movement of the endless chain 8, the front tower 2a is moved so that the upper surface of the chassis 9a of the cage 9 is flush with the ground floor surface 10 of the entrance 3 portion. The floor surface _2a1 is set to be lower than the ground floor surface 10 by an appropriate amount.
Incidentally, the removed portion of the cage 9 is referred to as a cage removed portion B for convenience.

In addition, the rear parking device 6b suspends all the vehicle tower cages 13 that can be hung at equal intervals from a pair of front and rear endless chains 12 wound between one pair of upper and lower sprockets 11a and 11b. When one cage 13 stops at the lowest position due to the circular movement of the endless chain 12, the floor surface 2b ₁ of the rear tower 2b is moved so that the upper surface of the chassis 13a of the cage 13 is flush with the floor surface 2a ₁ . Said floor surface 2
It is a moderate amount lower than a ₁ .

14 is the ground floor surface 10 at the entrance 3;
A movable deck device is installed in a rectangular hole 10a that is cut into a hole, and the front end of a rectangular plate-like deck 14a that is large enough to allow vehicles W to pass through is pivoted to the ground floor 10 so as to be able to swing vertically. In a recess 10a1 further dug in the hole _10a , an operating cylinder 14b as a lifting mechanism that swingably supports the lower part of the cylinder is installed, and a rod 1 extending upwardly of the cylinder 14b is installed.
The tip of _4b1 is pivotally connected to the center of the lower surface of the deck 14a. Thus, the deck 14a becomes horizontal when the rod _14b1 of the operating cylinder is extended, so that the upper surface of the deck 14a is flush with the ground floor 10, and the tip edge of the deck 14a is stopped at the lowest part of the cage. 9, and when the rod _14b1 is in the shortened state, it slopes downwardly to the rear so that the leading edge of the deck 14a comes into contact with the floor surface _2a1 .

15 is a control device with a built-in microcomputer installed outside the entrance/exit 3, which controls the cage call button,
It has an operation panel equipped with a parking status display lamp, a group of manual operation switches, an automatic/manual changeover switch, an emergency stop button, etc., and provides comprehensive control of the entire parking facility.

Next, the operation will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The control device 15 sequentially commands operations according to the following steps. (On the drawing, "YES" is abbreviated as Y and "NO" as N.) (1) Determine whether there is a request for entry or exit. “YES” with a push signal from the incoming or outgoing button.
I judge that.

(2) Determine whether the request is for entry or exit from the front row parking device 6a. If "YES", a drive command is output to the front row parking device 6a. Then, due to the circulating operation of the group of cages 9, the calling cage 9 (the delivery cage 9 or the empty cage 9 for storage) reaches the lowest position and stops.

(3) Determine whether the deck 14a is in the raised position (that is, in the horizontal state). When a signal indicating the extended state of rod 14b ₁ is input from the operating cylinder 14b,
It judges "YES" and gives an opening operation command to the entrance door 4. In this way, the entrance door 4 opens, and the vehicle W passes through the horizontal deck 14a from the entrance 3 and gets into the chassis 9a of the empty cage 9, or the driver passes through the deck 14a and gets into the vehicle W in the exit cage 9. The vehicle W can be driven from the cage 9 to the deck 14a and exited from the entrance 3 to the outside.

(4) If the determination in step (3) is "NO", a command to extend the rod _14b1 is given to the operating cylinder 14b, and the process returns to step (3).

(5) If the judgment in step (2) is “NO”,
It is determined that this is an entry/exit request to the rear parking device 6b, and a drive command is given to the rear parking device 6b. Further, a drive command is also given to the front row parking device 6a so as to place the cage cutout portion B at the lowest position.

(6) Determine whether the deck 14a is in the lowered position (that is, in the tilted state). If “YES”, go to next step
Move to (7), if “NO”, actuating cylinder 14
A command to shorten the rod _14b1 is given to the rod 14b1, and the process returns to step (6).

(7) Determine whether the call cage 13 of the rear row parking device 6b has reached the lowest position. If “YES”, move on to the next step (8).

(8) Determine whether the cage missing part B is placed at the bottom of the front row parking device 6a. If "YES", a drive disabling command is given to the front row parking device 6a. This prevents the front row parking device 6a from being accidentally driven while entering or exiting the rear row parking device 6b. Then, a command to open the entrance door 4 is given.

(9) In this way, the entrance door 4 opens, and the vehicle W
It descends to the floor surface 2a ₁ through the more sloping deck 14a, passes through the cage cutout B and the communication port 5, enters the rear tower 2b, and lowers the chassis 13 of the empty cage 13.
Get into a. Alternatively, in the case of leaving the warehouse, the driver gets into the vehicle W in the leaving cage 13 and the vehicle W
The vehicle passes through the floor 2a ₁ through the communication port 5, ascends the deck 14a, and exits from the entrance 3 to the outside.

Next, a second embodiment shown in FIG. 3 will be described. Reference numerals 100a, 100b, and 100c are a front tower, middle tower, and rear tower that are arranged in parallel in front and back.The front tower 100a and the middle tower 100b are each provided with a parking device having one cage missing part, and the rear tower 100c is equipped with a parking device that has one cage missing part.
