The present invention relates to a palletless rack type parking system that can park a large amount of vehicles without using a separate transport pallet, and more particularly, to falling from a vehicle parked above. The present invention relates to a vehicle protection device of a pallet-free parking system that can prevent various foreign substances from contaminating or damaging a vehicle parked below.

With the spread of automobiles, there was an absolute shortage of parking spaces, which caused traffic congestion, air pollution, and parking difficulties. In particular, in urban centers with a lot of traffic, the limited parking space inevitably increases the difficulty of parking.

Accordingly, in order to cope with the rapidly increasing parking demand, various efforts have been made to solve parking shortages, such as mandatory installation of parking lots in each building. However, due to limited land, the expansion of parking facilities is bound to be limited.

Therefore, as a way to efficiently store a large number of vehicles in a small space, a parking system for storing vehicles on a floor by a mechanical device has been widely used.

Such a parking system is divided into a circulation type, a puzzle type, and an elevator type according to a driving method, and an elevator type is mainly used due to an advantage of allowing a vehicle to be easily, quickly, and shipped in and out.

The elevator parking system installs racks having a plurality of loading spaces in a grid at regular intervals, and has a transport device such as a lift or a stacker crane for transporting vehicles in the spaces between the racks. For example, a fixed code number is assigned to a vehicle and a loading table, and the vehicle is automatically parked and unloaded by interlocking with a control computer.

On the other hand, such an elevator parking system is divided into a pallet method and a pallet-free method according to the presence or absence of a pallet for mounting a vehicle, and the adoption of a pallet-free method, which is more advantageous in terms of structural and arrival and departure time of a vehicle, is gradually increasing.

Parking systems of the pallet-free method can be found in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 5-52058, 5-585953, 8-120964, and 10-2004-0024178. In this method, the racks and the fork of the conveying device are composed of a number of side-by-side bar (bar) to cross the up and down alternately overlapping each other to transfer the cargo to each other.

However, the pallet-free parking system has a problem that the vehicle mounted on the rack is made of only a fork, and unlike the pallet method, the upper and lower portions of the rack communicate with each other without being shielded, and therefore, the vehicle located below is contaminated by foreign matter falling from the vehicle located above.

That is, the vehicle is buried in a variety of foreign matters, such as dirt or dust, and in particular, the wheels are also embedded with a small boulder, such that the foreign matter falls through the gap of the loading fork on the other vehicle located in the lower to be polluted or damaged. In particular, when oil is leaked in an engine room or the like, the vehicle located below is severely polluted, thereby greatly deteriorating the reliability of the parking system.

The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is positioned below by foreign substances falling from the vehicle located above to shield the lower portion of each loading fork of the rack while allowing the transfer of transport forks in a palletless parking system. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle protection device of a pallet-free parking system that can reliably prevent a vehicle from being contaminated or damaged.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle protection device of a pallet-free parking system that can reliably collect foreign substances separated from a vehicle and can be easily removed when necessary.

In order to achieve the above object, the vehicle protection apparatus of the pallet-free parking system according to the present invention includes a rack having a plurality of loading forks in a lattice form, and a stacker crane for loading or withdrawing cargo to the rack. In the palletless parking system where the loading fork of the rack and the transport fork of the stacker crane alternately overlap each other, the vehicle is moved up and down, and spaced below the high information supporting the loading fork from the bottom. A plurality of support rails supported side by side with the fork and having guide grooves in the longitudinal direction on opposite sides thereof; A foreign matter blocking plate which is detachably assembled at both ends of the guide grooves of the two support rails facing each other and blocks foreign matters falling from the vehicle mounted on the upper loading fork; And a blocking plate setting means for fixing the foreign matter blocking plate to a support rail in a coupled state.

According to one preferred feature of the present invention, the foreign matter blocking plate is formed in the form of a fan (pan) having a side wall upward at its edge to safely collect the foreign matter dropped to the vehicle.

Accordingly, the present invention, in the non-pallet parking system, the lower portion of each rack fork of the rack is shielded, foreign matter falling from the vehicle loaded on the top can reliably prevent contamination or damage of the vehicle loaded on the bottom by the foreign matter blocking plate. Of course, it is possible to reliably collect and easily remove foreign matters away from the vehicle, thereby improving the reliability and parking safety of the pallet-free parking system.

Such specific features and other advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, the pallet-free parking system S to which the vehicle protection device 1 of the present invention is applied is mounted on a floor of a plurality of loading spaces formed in a lattice form, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. a plurality of racks that are spaced horizontally with the (L _F) (R) and a loading fork (L _F) enters the side of-elevated-loaded and drawn out with respect to the fork (L _F) loading the vehicle (C), while retreating It is composed of a stacker crane (S _C ) is driven in the three-axis direction between two adjacent racks (R) having a transport fork (T _F ) to.

On the other hand, the vehicle protection device 1 of the present invention, as shown in Figures 3 to 6b, to be parallel to the loading fork (L _F ) in the lower portion of the high information (B) for supporting the loading fork (L _F ) from the bottom. At least two support rails 10 which are spaced apart from each other, the support rails 10 and the foreign matter blocking plate 20 and the foreign matter blocking plate 20 to block the foreign matter falling from the upper sliding assembly between the support rails 10 It consists of a blocking plate setting means 30 for fixing the position in the engaged state.

Preferably, the support rails 10 are formed of a plurality of pieces arranged at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction of the high information B, and both sides of the foreign matter blocking plate 20 on opposite surfaces of two neighboring support rails 10. The guide grooves 11 into which the edges are fitted are respectively provided in the longitudinal direction. Accordingly, the support rail 10 has a laterally laid H-shaped cross section having guide grooves 11 on both sides in the longitudinal direction thereof.

This support rail 10 is shown well in FIGS. 7 and 8 so that the transport fork T _F of the stacker crane S _C can perform the vehicle transfer operation with respect to the loading fork L _F of the rack R. FIG. As shown, it is supported by the bracket 12 to be spaced apart by an appropriate height in the lower portion of the high information (B). This is because the transport fork (T _F ) is to be lifted by a certain height relative to the loading fork (L _F ) in order to transfer the vehicle (C) so as not to interfere with the transfer operation.

The bracket 12 includes, for example, a first bracket 12a joined to the side of the high information B, and a second bracket 12b joined to the upper surface of the support rail 10. The support rail 10 is supported at a lower portion of the high information B by fastening the free end of 12b) with the bolt 13. Here, the reason for attaching the first bracket (12a) to the side of the high information (B) is to reduce the space loss due to the fastening, to minimize the height of the loading space of the rack (R) to reduce the installation space of the overall parking system Can contribute.

The foreign material blocking plate 20 may be simply formed in a flat plate shape, but preferably takes the form of a square fan having a side wall 21 of an appropriate height extending upward at an edge thereof. This is to safely collect the foreign matter falling from the vehicle (C) mounted on the loading fork (L _F ) of the top without departure. In addition, the side wall 21 is configured to be inclined to widen upwards, which is to be able to superimpose a plurality of foreign matter blocking plate 20.

In addition, a plurality of beads 22 for strength reinforcement are provided at the bottom of the foreign material blocking plate 20 at regular intervals, and both ends of the lower surface of the lower plate 20 have rollers 32 of the blocking plate setting means 30 described later. The locking jaw 23 is seated is formed.

More preferably, the seat cover 24 is further provided at the bottom of the foreign matter blocking plate 20 so that the collected foreign matters can be easily removed by replacing only the seat cover 24 in case of contamination. The seat cover 24 is preferably made of a good absorbent fabric or the like for easy removal of moisture, oil, and the like away from the vehicle C on the upper side.

The blocking plate setting means 30 may be configured in various forms. For example, as illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10, the blocking plate setting means 30 contacts the rear end of the foreign material blocking plate 20 to prevent entry of the foreign material blocking plate 20. Restricting the end stopper 31 and the foreign matter blocking plate 20 while guiding the sliding of the foreign matter blocking plate 20 with respect to the guide groove 11 of the support rail 10 and in contact with the front end of the foreign matter blocking plate 20 It may be composed of a roller 32 to prevent the departure from the support rail (10).

The end stopper 31 is installed in the middle of the guide groove 11 of the support rail 10, and the roller 32 is installed at the inlet of the guide groove 11 of each support rail 10 so that the foreign matter blocking plate 20 By being seated on each of the locking projections 23 formed on both sides of the front end of the foreign matter blocking plate 20 to prevent the separation.

On the other hand, the racks (R ₁ ) located on both outer sides of the stacker crane (S _C ), the transport fork (T _F ) enters only from one side, so that only one row of the vehicle (C) is loaded with foreign matter blocking plate (20). ) Also enters only one side of the support rail 10, but the rack (R ₂ ) located in the middle of the stacker crane (S _C ), the transport fork (T _F ) approaches from both sides, so the vehicle (C) is loaded in two rows As shown in FIG. 5B, the foreign matter blocking plate 20 may also be configured to enter each side of the support rail 10.

This is because when the foreign matter blocking plate 20 installed in the intermediate rack (R ₂ ) has a length corresponding to the left and right width of the loading fork (L _F ) for loading the vehicle (C) in two rows, handling is complicated and large This is because it is difficult to install a brace (not shown), especially in the middle of the rack R, as well as the distance between the racks R.

In the vehicle protection device of the pallet-free parking system according to the present invention configured as described above, the foreign matter blocking plate 20 effectively shields the lower portion of the loading fork L _{F in} which the upper and lower surfaces communicate with the vehicle C loaded on the upper side. ) To prevent the falling of foreign matter, water droplets or oil falling on the vehicle (C) loaded at the bottom to ensure that the vehicle (C) located at the bottom to be contaminated or damaged by foreign matter falling from the top It becomes possible.

In addition, since the foreign matter blocking plate 20 is formed in a fan shape, it is possible to reliably collect the foreign matter separated from the upper vehicle C so as not to be separated to the surroundings, and the foreign matter blocking plate 20 is separated from the support rail 10. This can be done easily.

In particular, when the seat cover 24 is provided at the bottom of the foreign matter blocking plate 20, the collected foreign matters can be easily removed by only a very simple method of replacing only the seat cover 24 when contamination.

In the above description, the foreign matter blocking plate 20 completely covers the lower portion of the loading forks L _F of the rack R, but as illustrated in FIGS. 11A and 11B, foreign matters such as wheels and the lower part of the engine room, or moisture. Of course, it can be selectively installed only where the back drops frequently.

As described above, according to the vehicle protection apparatus of the pallet-free parking system according to the present invention, the lower portion of each rack of the fork of the rack is shielded so that foreign matter falling from the vehicle loaded thereon is reliably blocked, In addition to preventing contamination or damage, it is possible to reliably collect and remove foreign substances away from the vehicle.

Therefore, this invention has the outstanding effect which contributes to the improvement of the reliability, parking safety, etc. of a palletless parking system.
