The present invention relates to a lift fall prevention device, and more particularly, even if a rope or a chain supporting the lift is broken due to a deviation from the best position defined as the brake inoperable while the lift rises along the guide rail at a high speed. A lift fall prevention apparatus for a parking facility for preventing a fall.

General types of parking facilities can be classified into a pallet-mounted warehouse system in which pallets are loaded into and out of a vehicle, and a cross-vehicle vehicle loading / unloading system in which lifts and pallets intersect only after a vehicle is mounted.

Dual, pallet-mounted parking facility is a parking facility suitable for parking multiple vehicles in a narrow space. Lifts are formed vertically in the center of a multi-storey parking space, guide rails and guide rails installed vertically at each corner of the lift. Lifting device mounted on the upper part of the elevator, lifting and lifting along the guide rail, the circulation rail horizontally installed on the floor of each floor of the parking room, move in the horizontal direction along the circulation rail, and is composed of a plurality of pallets mounted on the lift do.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 1, the cross-vehicle loading / unloading parking facility includes a guide rail 100 and a guide rail 100 vertically installed at each corner of a hoistway formed in a vertical direction in a central part of a multi-storey parking space. The lift driving device 110 mounted at the top, one lift 120 for loading a vehicle and lifting along the guide rail 100, is connected to the lift 120, and lifts by driving of the lift driving device 110. Rope 118 or a chain for towing 120, the pallet is moved in the horizontal direction along the pallet guide rollers horizontally arranged on the floor of each floor of the parking room and consists of a pallet 130 provided with the number of parking lot.

Lifting device 110 is coupled to the drive motor 112 and the speed reducer 114, the speed reducer 114 to generate power to tow the rope 118 or chain sheave that the rope 118 or chain is wound And a guide pulley 116 for guiding the rope 118 and the chain, a plurality of lift pulleys 117, and a brake (not shown) that cuts off power of the drive motor 112. .

The lift 120 is formed at four corners in a vertical direction and is attached to the lift arm 122 accommodated in the guide rail 100 and the upper and lower ends of the lift arm 122 to rotate along the guide rail 100. A guide roller 124 and a shimbleed 126 attached to the upper end of the lift arm 122 to fasten the rope 118 are provided. The lift 120 is provided at the other end of the rope 118 or the chain. A counterweight 128 for maintaining balance during towing is mounted via a pulley 119. In the figure, reference numeral 132 denotes a lifting bottom plate, and 134 denotes a lift surface of the ground.

In such a parking facility, a drive installed in the upper part of the guide rail 100 is separated from the highest position (hereinafter, referred to as the correct position) determined in the course of the high-speed lift along the guide rail 100 to lift and unload the vehicle. By colliding with the device, there is a possibility that a vehicle mounted on the parking facility and the lift 120 may be damaged, and a lift departure prevention device is installed to prevent this.

3 and 4 are a perspective view and a front view showing a lift fall prevention device of the parking facilities according to the present invention, respectively.

As shown in the figure, the guide rail 100 is vertically installed at four corners of the hoistway, and the lift arm 122 and the lift guide roller 124 of the lift 120 are accommodated in the guide rail 100. As a result, the lift 120 is moved up and down along the guide rail 100.

Lift fall prevention apparatus 200 according to the present invention is installed on the guide rail (100). In detail, a substantially square plate-shaped base 210 is attached to one side of the guide rail 100 at a lower side than the position detecting sensor 140 by welding or bolting or the like. A shaft 212 protrudes integrally on the surface of the base 210, and a bearing 220 is coupled to the outer circumferential surface of the shaft 212, and preferably, a DU bush that can withstand high loads and has excellent wear resistance ) Is used. This deyubush 220 is a known technique and its detailed configuration and operation will be omitted.

A pin 222 having a predetermined length is radially penetrated to the shaft 212 to prevent the deyubush 220 from being separated from the shaft 212.

A locking portion 230 having a shape of “b” is coupled to the outer circumferential surface of the die-bush 220, and the fitting portion 230 is inserted by inserting the die-bush 220 into an installation hole provided at the corner of the catching portion 230. ) Allows pivoting about the shaft 212 with respect to the base 210.

In addition, the stopper 214 is formed on the base 210 to limit the angle of rotation of the locking portion 230 is integrally formed.

The first end 232 of the locking portion 230 is positioned to overlap with the movement path 102 of the lift arm 122 on the guide rail 100. The first end 232 includes a support surface 232a for supporting the falling lift 120, and a contact surface 232b contacting the stopper 214 when the locking portion 230 pivots.

The first end 232 is always lift arm movement path 102 at the second end 234 and the base 210 of the engaging portion 230 facing the first end 232 about the shaft 212. An elastic member 240 is provided to bias the locking portion 230 in a state overlapping with the first position (hereinafter, referred to as a first position). Preferably, the elastic member 240 is made of a coil spring, the first and second projections (236, 216) protruding from the second end portion 234 and the base 210 of the locking portion 230, respectively; Both ends are joined together. That is, the second end 234 of the locking portion 230 is forced to the second protrusion 216 on the base 210 by the elastic restoring force of the coil spring 240, as shown in FIG. When one side of the second end 234 contacts the stopper 214, the locking portion 230 maintains the first position in a stable manner.

Hereinafter, with reference to Figures 1 and 4 to 7 will be described the operation and effect of the lift fall prevention device of the parking facility according to the present invention.

When the vehicle is received, the lift 120 on which the vehicle to be parked is lifted at a high speed by the operation of an operation panel (not shown) and stopped at a position slightly higher than the floor surface of the designated floor. One pallet 130 located in the empty space of the designated floor moves to the hoistway and stops at the lower part of the lift 120, and the lift 120 located at the top crosses the pallet 130 and descends to its original position. do. As a result, the vehicle is mounted on the pallet 130, and the pallet 130 on which the vehicle is mounted subsequently moves to the original position in the parking space, thereby completing the receipt of the vehicle.

In addition, when the vehicle is shipped, the pallet 130 on which the vehicle to be shipped is mounted is moved to the hoistway by the operation of the operation panel, and the lift 120 ascends to the designated floor and intersects with the pallet 130 to place the vehicle thereon. It stops after mounting. Subsequently, the empty pallet 130 returns to the original position in the parking space, and the lift 120 on which the vehicle is mounted descends and stops to the entrance surface 134 on the ground, thereby completing the shipment of the vehicle.

As such, the lift 120 rises at high speed along the guide rail 100 for the entry and exit of the vehicle, and as shown in FIG. 4, the right position in which the lift 120 may rise to the maximum is the lift according to the present invention. It should be set lower than the fall prevention device (200).

However, when the lift 120 is further lifted away from the correct position by the malfunction of the elevating driving device 110, as shown in FIG. 5, the lift 120 is caught by the fall prevention device 200. 230). By the lifting force of the lift 120, the locking portion 230 is rotated in the clockwise direction (see Fig. 5) by the die-bush 220 around the shaft 212, the first end 232 of the locking portion 230 ) Moves away from the lift arm movement path 102 on the guide rail 100 so as not to overlap (hereinafter referred to as a second position). At this time, the contact surface 232b of the first end 232 contacts the stopper 214 to prevent the locking portion 230 from turning more than necessary due to the collision force with the lift 120 rising at a high speed. This is to cause the catching part 230 to return to the first position shown in FIG. 4 most quickly when the external force by the lift 120 is removed.

The lift 120 passing through the lift fall prevention device 200 is determined to be out of the correct position by the position detection sensor 140 formed of a limit switch or an optical sensor, and brakes by a signal output from the sensor 140. Is activated to stop the lift 120. However, when the brake fails to perform a normal braking function due to a failure or malfunction, the lift 120 is further raised beyond the fall prevention device 200, and as shown in FIG. 6, the departure preventing rod 144. ), The climb is forcibly stopped. As such, when the external force applied to the locking portion 230 by the lift 120 is removed, the second end 234 of the locking portion 230 and the base 240 of the spring 240 having both ends thereof coupled to the base 210 are removed. By the elastic restoring force, the locking portion 230 pivots about the shaft 212 in the counterclockwise direction (reference to FIG. 6) and returns from the second position of FIG. 5 to the first position of FIG. 4.

However, even if the lift 120 is stopped by the release preventing rod 144, the lifting driving device 110 maintains an operating state for raising the lift 120 in a state in which braking by the brake is impossible. . As a result, when the lift 120 and the counterweight 128 are mounted, the rope 118 or the chain is overloaded, cut or broken, and the lift 120 falls, as shown in FIG. 7. The falling lift 120 is supported by the support surface 232a and the stopper 214 of the first end 232 of the locking portion 230 overlapping the lift arm movement path 102 on the guide rail 100. This prevents the fall to the floor of the parking facility.

Of course, the lift fall prevention apparatus according to the present invention configured as described above can be applied to the parking equipment of the pallet-mounted storage system, as well as cross-vehicle loading and exit.

As described in detail above, the lift fall prevention apparatus of the parking facility according to the present invention includes a locking portion that swings between a first position overlapping with the movement path of the lift on the guide rail and a second position not overlapping the movement path. It has a simple mechanical structure and prevents the rope or chain from being cut due to mechanical errors during the operation of the parking facility, thereby preventing the lifts and payloads located on the top of the parking facility from falling to the floor, resulting in loss of life and property. It is effective in preventing and significantly improving the safety and efficiency of the parking facility.
