  • FIG. 1 A very important area of a maintenance center of the type under discussion here is, of course, an extensive workshop 8 (FIG. 1) with a number of maintenance boxes corresponding to the space required for repair work on a passenger vehicle, with workstations for carrying out workshop tasks separately from the vehicle, with office areas for managers/supervisors and workshop-related administration tasks, with rest areas for work breaks, changing, washing and WCs, with storage areas for tools, for spare parts, for oils and consumable liquids, as well as storage areas for old parts and old liquids.
  • FIG. 1 A very important area of a maintenance center of the type under discussion here is, of course, an extensive workshop 8 (FIG. 1) with a number of maintenance boxes corresponding to the space required for repair work on a passenger vehicle, with workstations for carrying out workshop tasks separately from the vehicle, with office areas for managers/supervisors and workshop-related administration tasks, with rest areas for work breaks, changing, washing and WCs, with storage areas for tools, for spare parts, for oils and consumable liquids, as well as storage areas
  • a maintenance center such as this furthermore requires general engineering areas for accommodation of the infrastructure engineering equipment such as the building heating, air conditioning, compressed-air system for the workshop or for a tube-post system, or the like, and these can be arranged physically separately from the offices or workshops.
  • the infrastructure engineering equipment such as the building heating, air conditioning, compressed-air system for the workshop or for a tube-post system, or the like, and these can be arranged physically separately from the offices or workshops.
  • the said facilities namely the vehicle reception 6 , the sales area 7 , the workshop area 8 , the parking area 9 , the engineering area 10 and the office area 11 , are, according to the invention, arranged in a standard, tower-like building 1 one above the other on a large number of floors, with the building having as small a ground area requirement as possible.
  • the ground area for the floors which are arranged above ground level is chosen to be approximately square with the horizontal dimensions A ⁇ B, with one of the two dimensions A or B of this ground area, preferably the shorter of the two dimensions, corresponding to approximately three to fives times, preferably approximately to three and a half to four times, the length 1 of the longest passenger vehicle to be maintained.
  • the display area 32 for new vehicles 34 and the associated office areas 33 are arranged on the first floor (FIG. 6) and on the second floor. These floors are easily accessible via the entrance 2 from the access side 2 ′ of the building. Since the aim of this shopping area 7 is to appeal to new customers in a particular manner, it is expedient for these areas to be designed to be as inviting as possible and to open to the road.
  • the display and sales areas are designed to be representative of the image of the automobile company.
  • the shopping area is not used for selling new vehicles, or is used only to a very restricted extent for this purpose, then, depending on the local area around the building, the shopping area can be used in a different way for retail businesses, bank branches or similar businesses with a high degree of public traffic and/or high turnover expectations.
  • the vehicle reception areas 6 which are arranged in the basement—see in particular FIG. 5—are likewise accessible from the front 2 ′ of the building, to be precise directly with the vehicle, for which purpose a drive-in ramp 3 is provided which initially runs in a straight line along the side of the building and is curved at its end in a helical shape.
  • the basement floor is accordingly broader and longer by the width of the drive-in ramp 3 than the first floor and the second floor.
  • the facilities for vehicle reception 8 that is to say the parking spaces 29 for quick reception of customer vehicles, a lifting platform 31 for short inspections, and office areas 30 etc., are distributed over two underground floor levels, on both of which passenger vehicles can be driven.
  • the driving link between the first and second basement floors and between any further basement floors comprises a ramp which can be driven on in both directions and runs in a helical shape, and which is arranged in a corner of the floor plan rectangle.
  • the gradient of the helical drive-in ramp is sufficiently steep that the floor height is overcome after just at least 270° of one complete turn.
  • the entrance and exit for people to and from the vehicle reception 6 can be provided on the one hand by a passenger elevator 4 which, in the illustrated exemplary embodiment, is arranged diametrically opposite the helical drive-in ramp, within the building.
  • the vehicle reception can also be reached on foot via a staircase, which is in the form of at least one emergency staircase, with the stairwell 5 being arranged centrally within the helically running ramp.
  • the workshop area 8 Owing to the area that it requires, the workshop area 8 is distributed over a number of floor levels 35 , a floor plan of one of which is shown in FIG. 7, with the storage level being shown in FIG. 8.
  • the maintenance boxes 36 for the workshop which may also be in the form of test stands for passenger vehicles or lifting platforms, are distributed aligned radially in a star shape around the elevator shaft 12 for the load elevator, which is arranged centrally in the building.
  • a maximum of eight maintenance boxes 36 are provided on each floor level 35 , but preferably only six or seven, with adjacent maintenance boxes 36 being arranged at an angle of 45°.
  • the other facilities for the workshop such as the manager's office 38 , the spare parts store 39 for relatively small spare parts and/or spare parts that are required relatively frequently, washing and changing areas 41 as well as a WC for the workshop personnel, an oil store 42 , a tool store 43 , an electronics area 44 and vehicle-independent workstations 40 for the workshop 8 , are arranged in the free spaces which remain between the maintenance boxes 36 , and which diverge outwards. If—as is illustrated in FIG. 7—only seven maintenance boxes are provided, there is a larger area associated with them between two adjacent maintenance boxes and this can be used, for example, for a spare-parts store close to the workstations.
  • a separate floor level 46 is provided for the storage of large-volume spare parts and/or spare parts which are required less frequently. This is expediently planned as the lowermost floor of the workshop area in the building structure, which has the advantage that this reduces the extent to which the workshop noise can penetrate into the shopping area. This is because the separate floor level 46 for the spare parts is a quiet zone.
  • the floor levels for the parking area 9 with parking spaces 47 for the parking of customer vehicles or any new vehicles are arranged above the floor levels of the workshop area 8 , and the floor plan of one of these floors is shown in FIG. 9.
  • the parking spaces are distributed over a number of floors, with the individual parking spaces 47 being arranged aligned radially in a star shape around the elevator shaft 12 for the load elevator.
  • Fifteen parking spaces 47 for narrower vehicles can also be provided on each floor level, and these are then arranged at an angle of 24° from one another.
  • the broader vehicles are parked in the floors with twelve parking spaces, and the narrower vehicles in those with fifteen parking spaces.
  • a separate engineering floor 10 which is arranged above the parking area 9 , is provided in order to accommodate the infrastructure engineering equipment, and a floor plan of this is shown in FIG. 10. It is expedient for this floor to be arranged above the parking area (and not, for example, between the workshop area and the parking area or between the workshop area and the shopping area), since this results in the shortest linking routes between the functional areas of vehicle reception, the parking area and the workshop area.
  • the office area 11 is located above the engineering floor 10 , and its useful area is distributed over a number of floor levels 51 . Since the office areas are located in the highest building zone and are furthest away from the inner-city traffic noise, this is where it appears to be best to carry out quiet work.
  • Stairwells and separate passenger elevators are used for the people who work in the building and for the customers to access the various functional areas.
  • a passenger elevator 4 and a stairwell 5 for an emergency staircase are arranged in the corner area of the ground area A ⁇ B of the building tower 1 .
  • only one passenger elevator and one emergency stairwell is provided in the basement floors while, in contrast, two passenger elevators and two emergency stairwells are planned for the upper floors which are frequented to a greater extent by people.
  • the two passenger elevators 4 and the emergency stairwells 5 in the illustrated exemplary embodiment are arranged outside the tower-like structure body in the corner area of the ground area, with the two passenger elevators being arranged on the access side 2 ′ and the two emergency stairwells being arranged on the opposite rear side 5 ′ of the building 1 .
  • one very major aspect of the invention is the logistic communication between the engineering functional areas comprising vehicle reception 6 , the parking area 9 and the workshop area 8 .
  • a load elevator is arranged centrally in the building 1 , and its elevator cabin is matched to the weight and size of the largest passenger vehicle to be maintained.
  • the elevator shaft 12 , 12 ′ for the load elevator which connects the floor levels to one another is—as stated—arranged centrally and in the middle within the floors above ground level. At least in the area of the workshop floors 46 , 36 and above them, the shaft 12 has a round cross section with an unobstructed internal diameter which corresponds at least to the length of the ground area diagonal of the elevator cabin 14 . Since it is accessible from all sides, the round elevator shaft 12 is essentially formed only by corresponding round ceiling apertures and by supporting pillars which are as narrow as possible and which connect the floor ceilings to one another in the circumferential area of the shaft.
  • a number of shaft doors 28 which correspond to the width of the elevator cabin 14 and are all in the form of fire-resistant fire protection doors, are arranged around the load elevator shaft 12 on each floor level with a round load elevator shaft 12 .
  • the shaft doors are preferably in the form of tilting doors or roller doors which can be raised.
  • the load elevator shaft 12 ′ does not have a round cross section, for space reasons, but is rectangular to match the outline shape of the elevator cabin 14 .
  • the elevator cabin 14 for the load elevator is mounted in two vertically separated rotary bearings 15 , 15 ′ in a lifting cage 13 , which is guided in the elevator shaft, and is provided with a controllable rotary drive (which is not illustrated), such that it can rotate about a vertical center axis 15 ′′.
  • the elevator cabin 14 which can be swiveled through more than 360° about its rotation axis, can thus be deliberately swiveled with its cabin opening horizontally to a circumferential position matching any desired one of the shaft doors 28 , which are arranged around the elevator shaft, on one floor level. This means that the load elevator can optimally serve the entire floor area which is arranged around the elevator shaft and is essentially in the form of a circular ring.
  • the lifting cage in the illustrated exemplary embodiment is guided in four vertical guide rails 25 , along which long guide shoes 26 on the lifting cage slide.
  • the lifting cage 13 and its guidance, that is to say the guide rails 25 and the guide shoes 26 are designed to be torsionally stiff such that, even if the elevator cabin 14 is loaded extremely eccentrically and the lifting cage is accelerating or decelerating vertically at the maximum rate, no tilting ever occurs and it always slides exactly horizontally in the guide rails 25 .
  • the fixed-position guide rails are likewise arranged outside the unobstructed profile of the elevator shaft, in the same way as the guide shoes and the corner posts of the lifting cage.
  • the corner posts of the lifting cage are at the same time also in the form of cabin-height guide shoes.
  • the recessed arrangement on the shaft side of the cage guide outside the unobstructed profile of the elevator shaft means that the end edge (which is in the form of a circular arc) of the cabin floor may be adjacent to the floor level in the area of the shaft edge, with a small transitional gap which can be driven over without any problems.
  • the guide rails are arranged in the pillar, which is in the form of a hollow profile, between two adjacent shaft doors.
  • the cabin-height guide shoes 26 which are integrated with the side corner posts of the lifting cage clasp the guide rails 25 and slide along them, with little play.
  • the guide rails on the shaft side are arranged in a circumferential position on the round elevator shaft 12 so as to match the positions of the corners of the elevator shaft 12 ′, which has a rectangular cross section, in the basement area.
  • the elevator cabin can be mechanically locked to the boundary of the elevator shaft by means of strong locking bolts, which can be extended parallel to the cabin floor. This ensures that the elevator cabin is held in a fixed position both in the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction during unloading or loading and, furthermore, that the shaft-side cage guide 25 , 26 reduces the load on the rotary drive and on the rotary bearing 15 , 15 ′ resulting from corresponding tilting, rotary shocks or similar vibration.
  • the elevator cabin may be aligned transversely with respect to the lifting cage during unloading or loading and that particularly high eccentric tilting forces may occur in a transverse position such as this, at least during loading or unloading.
  • the horizontal swiveling drive and the drive for automatically opening the driven shaft door are, of course, functionally interlocked such that, when the elevator arrives at the destination, the relevant shaft door cannot be opened until the horizontal circumferential position of the cabin opening matches the shaft door correctly, and the elevator cabin has been locked to the floor ceiling.
  • the lifting drive for the load elevator and/or the horizontal swiveling drive for the elevator cabin are functionally mutually interlocked with the drive for closing the open shaft door, for safety reasons, such that the elevator cabin cannot be swiveled, and/or the elevator cannot start to move, until the previously opened shaft door has been closed and locked correctly, and the elevator cabin has also been unlocked once again.
  • peripheral movements for example horizontal swiveling of the elevator cabin to the nominal position, locking of the elevator cabin in this position, movements of the shaft doors etc., to be able to be carried out very quickly, and this is dependent not only on appropriately powerful control drives but also on the relevant components being designed to be robust, and on a quick-response control system.
  • a further measure for increasing the transportation capacity of the elevator system is to provide a double-floor lifting cage in which two elevator cabins are arranged above one another and are mounted such that they can be rotated and can be driven to rotate independently of one another.
  • the vertical distance between the two elevator cabins should match the floor height, at least in the parking area.
  • the operator who is supervising the vehicle transportation remains seated in the vehicle's driver's seat from where he controls the load elevator functions; he thus travels with the vehicle.
  • the appropriate shaft door is opened automatically, and the vehicle can be driven out of the elevator cabin.
  • the driver leaves the parked vehicle, returns to the elevator cabin, and travels back to the starting point in the load elevator.
  • the opposite procedure is used, for example, for moving a vehicle from the parking area to the workshop.
  • the load elevator and the passenger elevators 4 which are arranged eccentrically in the building 1 , lead only up to the engineering floor 10 .
  • Another elevator shaft 50 with a smaller cross section is arranged centrally within the building 1 , above the shaft 12 for the load elevator, and extends in the vertical direction within the office area 11 , continuing up to the uppermost floor level.
  • a passenger elevator is arranged in this elevator shaft to provide vertical passenger transportation within the office area. It is therefore necessary to use two different passenger elevators, so to speak with a “change”, in order to reach one of the floors in the office area from the entrance 2 to the building.
  • the lifting drive for the load elevator cannot be provided—in the normal way—from above, since there is no space there to accommodate a drive.
  • the load elevator is raised or lowered from underneath via a lifting chain 19 or a multiple arrangement of lifting chains located alongside one another, by means of a drive 22 which is arranged in the lowermost basement floor.
  • a drive 22 which is arranged in the lowermost basement floor.
  • Just two guide rollers 20 for the lifting chains are provided at the upper end of the elevator shaft, and these can be accommodated in any case, even when little space is available.
  • a number of guide rollers 20 for the lifting chains are also provided at the lower end of the elevator shaft, and occupy only a small amount of space.
  • the lifting drive 22 for the load elevator can thus be arranged at the same level as the lowermost floor level.
  • the lifting chain 19 is guided over the various guide rollers 20 in an intrinsically closed loop, including the lifting cage 13 .
  • the operating section of the lifting chain runs vertically in the shaft center and is attached in a strain-resistant manner to the top and bottom of the lifting cage, while, on the other hand, a return section of the lifting chain is routed eccentrically in a guide tube 21 close to the shaft wall.
  • the guide tube must be arranged in the pillar area between two adjacent shaft doors, in order not to interfere with them.
  • the counterweight 18 for the load elevator is therefore arranged outside the building 1 in the present case. It is guided in a pair of guide rails 18 ′, which are arranged at the rear between the emergency stairwells 5 .
  • the cables 17 for the counterweight are guided in guide tubes 17 ′ through the office area 11 into the uppermost office floor before their direction is changed by means of guide rollers 16 , parallel to the guide rails 18 ′ for the counterweight.
  • the movement range for the counterweight is thus arranged offset in height in respect to the movement range of the elevator cabin.
  • the guide 18 ′ for the counterweight 18 and the compensating cables 17 are subject to weather, that is to say storms, rain, hail, snow and frost, and this must be taken into account appropriately in the design of the weight and cable guides and in the choice of the materials. In some circumstances, the weight guide and the cable guide must be provided with electrical heating, in order to prevent them from being frozen in or being frozen solid.
  • the disadvantageous external arrangement of the counterweight guide in fact has a positive aspect as well.
  • the counterweight 18 is in the form of a panel of approximately the same height as a floor and at least just as wide, composed, for example, of a strong steel plate, as a result of which not only does the counterweight scarcely project at all orthogonally from the facçde but, in particular, it can be used as an advertising medium for large-area advertising messages which can be seen from a long distance. Especially since the advertising medium moves vertically, this makes it particularly conspicuous.
  • the counterweight 18 which is in the form of a panel, must be provided with a moving, electrical power supply and, in some circumstances, with data lines, which activates the advertising medium which, for example, is in the form of a large screen or some other illuminated advertisement.
  • the data for the content of the advertising message could in some circumstances also be transmitted without the use of wires, and could be converted back to a visible advertisement again by means of a converter arranged on the advertising medium.
  • the building data listed in the following text correspond to a sales and maintenance center of a conventional size, which can be used as the basis for a building designed according to the invention:
  • the concept according to the invention may be financially worthwhile despite high land prices, to be precise particularly when the maintenance orders in the workshop are carried out based on shift operation, preferably on three-shift operation.
  • This offers the customer services around the clock during office hours, times during which people are out or shopping times.
  • the automobile company operating the maintenance center is permanently provided with a highly effective advertising medium, which can be seen from long distances by third parties as well, in the immediate vicinity of the center of a highly populated area by virtue of the conveniently offered maintenance services, the display and sales areas and the moving advertising hoardings.
  • the structure body of the tower-like building 1 should not just be designed to be functional internally. For a relatively large building with technical functions to be accepted within a center of a highly populated area that is heavily frequented by the public, it is also very important for the building to have a pleasant appearance.
  • the advertising effect which is achieved by a physical symbol in an attractive city location—and thus in the immediate vicinity of the customers—is extremely important for an automobile company.
  • the building cross section has an approximately square shape only in the lower floors, that is to say in the shopping area 7 and underneath the workshop area 8 .
  • the floor levels 35 in the workshop area 8 are in the form of a regular octagon which is derived from the square shape of the shopping area 7 by capping the corners.
  • the floor levels which are located above the workshop area 8 that is to say in the parking area 9 and engineering area 10 , are approximately cylindrical, that is to say they are polygonal with a circumferential circle which can be written into the octagon of the workshop area 8 .
  • the floor levels 51 for the office area 11 which are arranged at the highest point in the building once again have a square cross section with a square which can be written into the circle formed by the cylindrical parking area 9 and engineering area 10 ; they may also have a round cross section.
  • the passenger elevators 4 and emergency stairwells 5 which are arranged in the corner area outside the structure body are in the form of separate minaret-like towers which project a short distance from the structure body and are connected by means of short bridges 4 ′, 5 ′′ to the floor levels that are used by people.
  • the building cross section does not just decrease in size in the upward direction, but its cross-sectional shape also varies over the building height, the building has a highly contrasting and pleasant appearance.
  • the building is provided with a feeling of lightness and transparency by virtue of having a complete glass facçde on all sides.
