Description

Vehicle transport-unit of automated parking facility}

The present invention relates to a vehicle transport device for an automated parking lot, and more particularly, the middle portion of a fixed beam not provided with a transport fork on the upper portion is formed to protrude upward so as to be close to the lower bottom of the vehicle, and a saddle portion is located on the bottom portion. By doing so, it is possible to optimize the height of the parking lot while eliminating the loss section by minimizing the part of the vehicle transport device located at the lower part of the horizontal beam of the loading platform during vehicle transportation, thereby maximizing the space efficiency of the parking lot building. It's about the device.

In modern times, traffic congestion and air pollution due to lack of parking spaces have caused parking difficulties as serious social problems.

Accordingly, in order to cope with the rapidly increasing parking demand, methods for solving parking problems, such as obligatory installation of parking lots for each building, have been implemented, but due to limited land, the expansion of parking facilities has been limited.

On the other hand, an automated parking lot refers to a building installed so that a plurality of vehicles can be parked in a certain place and space as much as possible, and in order to efficiently store many vehicles in a small space, the vehicles are stored in layers by a mechanical device.

Such an automated parking lot is configured by providing a means for moving a vehicle to be parked and a parking space for storing the moved vehicle, so that the vehicle can be easily and quickly stored and shipped.

As an example, referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, a conventional automated parking lot includes racks 10: 10a and 10b arranged to have a plurality of parking spaces 14 for each floor, and each of the racks 10 is formed. A plurality of loading platforms 20 installed in the parking room 14 of and supporting the parked vehicle C from the lower side, and approaching and retreating from the side of the loading platform 20 according to control and lifting or lowering the vehicle ( C) the transport device 30 for seating or withdrawing the front loading fork 22 and the rear loading fork 23 constituting the loading table 20, and the transport device 30 according to the control It consists of a stacker crane 40 driven in a multi-axis direction.

At this time, the rack 10 has a multi-layer structure by arranging a plurality of posts 11 arranged at regular intervals at intervals and then connecting neighboring posts 11 with horizontal beams 12 and 13 arranged to be orthogonal to each other. It is configured to have, and they form a parking room 14 in which the vehicle C is parked for each floor.

And, this parking room 14 has a parking room height H1 between the upper loading platform horizontal beam 13 and the lower loading platform horizontal beam 13.

In addition, the loading forks 22 and 23 constituting the loading platform 20 are in the form of a bar having a thickness and width, and are erected perpendicularly on the horizontal beam 13 of the loading platform constituting the rack 10, so that the front loading forks 22 ) and the rear loading fork 23, which support the front and rear wheels of the vehicle, respectively. At least one end of the front transport fork 35a and the rear transport fork 35b constituting the transport device 30 correspond to each other. It takes the form of a protruding beam protruding outward from the loading platform horizontal beam 13 so that it can overlap and enter from the side of the front loading fork 22 and the rear loading fork 23 (see Figs. 2 and 5).

On the other hand, the conveying device 30 is moved by the stacker crane 40, and the base part 31 is fixed to the carriage 42 of the stacker crane through a driving means (not shown) of the loading platform 20. It has a saddle part 32 and a fixing beam 33 that approach and retreat sideways, and has a structure in which a front transport fork 35a and a rear transport fork 35b are provided on top of the fixing beam 33 (FIG. 1). , see Figure 4).

Through this, if the operating state of moving the vehicle C parked on the loading table 20 is described as an example, after the vehicle transport device 30 moves to the corresponding parking room 14 by the stacker crane, the loading table As the saddle part 32 enters the side of 20, the side of the front loading fork 22 and the rear loading fork 23 to which the front transport fork 35a and the rear transport fork 35b of the fixed beam 33 correspond. It enters while overlapping in . Subsequently, when the front and rear wheels of the vehicle are supported, the vehicle transport device 30 raises the front transport fork 35a and the rear transport fork 35b to support the front and rear wheels of the vehicle C, and loads the vehicle C. As the saddle part 32 retreats to the side of the platform 20, the vehicle is lifted and separated from the parking room 14.

On the other hand, this transport device 30 has a height including the height of the base portion 31, the saddle portion 32, the fixing beam 33, and the transport fork 35, as shown in FIG. 5, the parking room ( 14), when moving the vehicle C parked therein, the vehicle transport device 30 has a structure inevitably invading the upper part of the lower parking room 14 by a partial section H2.

Specifically, the transport device 30 uses the saddle part 32 to move the fixed beam 33 provided with the front transport fork 35a and the rear transport fork 35b closer to the horizontal beam 13 of the loading platform. In order to move the fixed beam 33 closer to the loading platform horizontal beam 13 while preventing collision (contact) between the front side of the entering saddle unit 32 and the loading platform horizontal beam 13, the saddle unit moves forward. (32) had no choice but to pass under the loading platform horizontal beam (13).

In addition, as the fixing beam 33 rises, the upper surface of the saddle part 32 is loaded so that the front transport fork 35a and the rear transport fork 35b can be lifted while contacting the front and rear wheels of the vehicle C. I had no choice but to approach while having a gap with the bottom of the large horizontal beam (13).

As a result, the upper part of the parking room 14 had no choice but to have a loss section H2 (see FIGS. 4 and 5).

In other words, in the parking room 14 forming one floor, in addition to the actual parking space in which the vehicle C is parked, a space (loss section: H2) in the range in which the above-described transport device 30 operates had to be further formed.

Therefore, the parking room height (H1) constituting the conventional automated parking lot could not be set to the optimal height structure due to the loss section (H2) outside the section where the vehicle is actually parked, and thus the space efficiency of the building is inevitably lowered. There was no problem.

On the other hand, in the current automated parking lot, a protective plate 60 is further formed on the lower part of the upper vehicle as necessary to prevent foreign substances from falling downward from the vehicle C located at the upper side and being buried in the vehicle C located at the lower side. .

This protective plate 60 has a plate shape of a size that can completely cover the bottom surface of the vehicle C, and is usually installed on a horizontal beam using a bolt 61 so as not to interfere with the operation of the vehicle transport device 30. There was no choice but to form it on the loss section (H2) side as the lower part of (13).

Accordingly, when the protective plate 60 is further formed, there is a problem in that the loss section H2 of the parking room is inevitably wider.

The current automated parking lot is configured to park the maximum number of vehicles in a minimum space or is being developed in a direction in which vehicles of various heights can be parked. ), eliminating the lower loss section (H2) is emerging as a top priority topic to be considered and solved in the industry above all else.
