Definitions

• the invention applies to an facility for storing objects, especially automobiles and containers, in the storage horizontal circular rings arranged vertically above one another, with a service opening, and it solves a problem with a built-up area.
• Facilities for a revolving motion of the particular circular rings are separate and mutually independent in every level, whereas either the motion of the facility for revolving motion of particular circular rings or facility for uplifting vertical motion is programme- controlled.
• facilities for the revolving motion of particular circular rings are cogged-belt drives, and facilities for the uplifting vertical motion are cable lifts.
• the advantage of the mentioned equipment according to the invention is especially small build-up area requirements which are eliminated to the minimum.
• the servicing time is shortened and so power demand of the equipment is reduced.
• the new design entirely eliminates the subjective influence of the human operator so that complete system is fully automatic with maximum customer protection. Through this sectional construction, the consequences of the possible breakdown of some of its parts are also eliminated.
• the facility for storing objects in the revolving multiple-level circular rings is pictured on the attached drafts, where on the picture no. 1 is view from above on three circular rings each of which has the service opening, on the picture no. 2 is the equipment in the elevation view in the section with six levels, on the picture no. 3 is 1. terminal level pictured, pictures no. 4a) to 4j) show particular cycles of the operational storage, on the picture no. 5 is view from above on the lift and pictures no. 6a) to 6c) show complete external arragement of the facility.
• the main body for storing objects in the revolving multiple-level circular rings is the bearing structure 1 where in six levels are placed three circular horizontally-rotary revolving circular rings 2_ 3, 4 with the storage space and the service openings >____. ____. __[0 which the lifts move vertically 5, 6,. 7.
• Each lift consists of a self-supporting frame 16 that is led by guiding elements 7 attached to the steel structure 1 so they could absorb the load reactions of the lifts 5, 6, 7_and transfer them into the steel structure _For each revolving circular ring 2, 3, 4_there are on the bearing structure 1 placed pairs of rails 18.
• the inner rail is in the place of the self-service openings 8, 9, 0 disconnected and its part 18a is fastened on the framing 16 of the lifts 5, 6, 7.
• Equipment ______ VI, 13 for the revolving motion of the particular circular rings 2, 3, 4, that are cogged-belt drives, are in all storeys separate and mutually independent Equipment ____, __ ⁇ 2, 13 for the revolving motion are software-locked with the equipment for the uplifting vertical motion 7 so that it is possible to move only one of these facilities and the other one stands in the exactly defined position which makes the motion possible.
• Each circular ring 2, 3. 4 has its own independent drive of the horizontal rotation so that it is possible to rotate with each one without higher power demands.
• the equipment _________ __ ⁇ ____. 13 for the revolving motion are with bigger diameters of the circular rings installed so that they can be unified for the whole building. This is reached by use of smaller motors that are always coupled or triplicated so that it could be reached the needed effect for the rotation with the circular ring in the actual level.
• Each circular ⁇ ' ng_2, 3, 4 has on its own periphery always one place where it is possible to go through with a pallet 14 with the load to another storey. Lifting and down-movement of the loads is also separate and independent for each circular ring.
• the equipment for the vertical lifting motion is either a cable or hydraulic lift 5. 6 ⁇ 7.
• the equipment for the vertical lifting motion is either a cable or hydraulic lift 5. 6 ⁇ 7.
• the lift for lifting up objects is not always in the primary position in the 1. load level but in the optimal position so that it eliminates the servicing time for the eventual next customer.
• the whole building consists of the technological levels 2-7, 1. terminal storey and 8. servicing level.
• the 1. terminal level consists of two parts, where in one half there is a car drive-in and drive-way to servicing openings of each circular rings (parking places for the circular ring 1-3) with a prepared pallet _ ⁇ 4_ In the other half there is a room for elevonics, an electro-centre room and a room for service with the access to the stairway 15 which allows the costumer access to whichever level and to the roof 19. In the 1. terminal level there is also possibility of parking larger automobiles.
• the whole building is provided with the outer surface 20 according to the customer's demand - with the holorib, glass or in any other way to prevent trespassers and protect against rain.
• the working cycle (picture no. 4) is done while the customer goes through the drive - in or when paying for the service is in progress.
• the whole cycle is fully automatic and no operating personnel are needed.
• the customer After passing under the mechanical barrier, the customer is allowed into the area, where the crew of the automobile gets out, except the driver.
• the lifting up of the roller grates he (she) drives into the parking area where he (she) stops by means of the display on the pallet _ ⁇ 4 in the exactly defined position. Then he (she) leaves the automobile, and when leaving the parking area, he (she) pushes a button to activate the storing process.
• the description of the working cycle is as follows.
• the lift 5 (picture no.
• the lift goes up (picture no 4f) and again one more level up (picture no. 4g).
• the circular ring swivels to the place where the pallet was taken from before and the lift by the down movement places the pallet with the automobile to the free space in the circular ring (picture no. 4h).
• the circular ring again swivels to the primary position (picture no. 4i).
• the lift goes to its appropriate height, where it waits for the next signals (picture no. 4j).
• the principle of dispatch is the same but it is done in the reverse order.
