Description

Mechanical parking facilities

This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-258126 for which it applied on November 18, 2010. The entire contents of this application are incorporated by reference in this specification.

The present invention relates to a mechanical parking lot.

Generally, a mechanical parking lot is known as a parking lot which can park many vehicles efficiently in a small space. The mechanical parking lot is also provided with various structures. One of them is a pallet-type mechanical parking lot, which is constructed by moving a vehicle on a pallet and moving the pallet vertically and horizontally using rails and grooves to move to an empty pallet space. Is being provided. Moreover, the mechanical parking lot which improved the parking efficiency is also provided by combining a lift and a three-dimensional parking floor to this pallet type mechanical parking lot (for example, refer patent document 1).

On the other hand, in recent years, low noise and environmentally friendly electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid vehicles (hereinafter, collectively referred to as EV vehicles) are beginning to spread. EV cars use electric power from secondary batteries such as lithium ion batteries mounted therein as a power source. In order to charge this secondary battery, a charging time of several ten minutes to several hours is required at present. Therefore, a technique for charging a secondary battery of an EV car using a time during which the EV car is parked in a parking lot has been proposed (see Patent Document 2, for example).

Japanese Patent Publication No. 2009-197417 Japanese Patent Publication No. 2010-70985

Patent Document 1 does not describe power feeding to an EV vehicle, but for example, the power supply to an EV vehicle in a pallet-type mechanical parking lot in which a pallet as described in Patent Document 1 can move freely in a vertical and horizontal direction in a parking space. You can think of it. In this case, it is conceivable to supply electric power to the EV car in a parking space for a predetermined electric power supply. This is because the cable connecting the pallet and the power feeding equipment does not impair the freedom of movement of the pallet. In this case, however, electric power feeding is not performed on the EV car parked in the parking space other than the parking space for power feeding. Therefore, it is hard to say that the parking time of the EV car is fully utilized as the time for power feeding.

The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and an object thereof is to provide a mechanical parking lot which can effectively utilize the parking time of a vehicle as a time for power feeding.

One aspect of the invention relates to a mechanical parking lot. The mechanical parking lot includes a pallet having power feeding means to a vehicle, a parking space in which a plurality of parking spaces capable of accommodating the pallet are arranged two-dimensionally in the horizontal and horizontal directions, and a moving device for individually moving the pallet between adjacent parking spaces. Equipped. When a pallet mounts a vehicle and moves between adjacent parking spaces, the power supply means of the pallet continuously supplies electric power to the mounted vehicle.

However, any combination of the above components, or the components or representations of the present invention are replaced with each other between methods, devices, systems, and the like, is also effective as an aspect of the present invention.

According to the present invention, the parking time of the vehicle can be effectively used as the time for power feeding. Alternatively, a plurality of vehicles in the parking space can be fed at the same time without interrupting the feeding.

These ten parking spaces are arranged in a matrix form of two rows in the horizontal direction (y direction in the drawing), five rows in the longitudinal direction (x direction in the drawing) when viewed in a plane. Each parking space has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and is configured to accommodate the pallet 32. The parking space is one parking area (one unit of parking) in the parking space where the vehicle 20 can be parked together with the pallet 32.

Electric power is continuously supplied to the pallet 32 in each parking space from a power supply apparatus (not shown), such as a cubicle, regardless of the position in the parking space. In particular, while the pallet 32 moves between adjacent parking spaces, power is continuously supplied to the pallet 32. The pallet 32 supplies the supplied electric power to the mounted vehicle 20 through an outlet.

A state in which the parking space 14a can take the example of the parking space 14a adjacent to the hoistway 96 of the B1F parking room 14 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. The parking space 14a includes a second moving device 58a provided on the B1F floor 98, a pallet 32b mounted on the second moving device 58a, and an EV vehicle mounted on the pallet 32b. 20a).

In addition, the four wheels arrange | positioned at these four corners are the structure which can rotate about 90 degrees with an actuator. In addition, the drive wheel is configured to perform both forward and reverse rotations. Therefore, the second moving device 58 can move the pallet 32 in any of the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction. Regarding the configuration of the first moving device 56, the first moving device 56 moves the pallet 32 only in the transfer direction, that is, provided at four corners of the first moving device 56.
