Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention provides an underground parking system that can minimize the required floor space on the ground surface when transporting automobiles into and out of the underground parking system constructed underground. This invention relates to a vehicle loading/unloading device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In urban areas, land prices are extremely high, so it is common practice to construct car parking facilities underground in buildings in order to make effective use of land.

In such underground parking lots, there are two types of underground parking where the driver can drive the car along a slope to the underground parking position while remaining in the car, and another where an unmanned car storage system is built underground and the driver can drive the car along the slope to the underground parking position. It is known that the vehicle is disembarked from the vehicle at its home position on the ground, and all subsequent loading and unloading of the vehicle is performed by mechanical devices.

For the former, simply providing a parking space underground is sufficient;
Although the equipment cost is low (lower), it is not possible to increase parking efficiency underground due to the need to secure a wide aisle including a slope. It is possible to secure the number of vehicles accommodated.

In addition, in the latter type, a turning device is installed at the ground level, and when carrying in or out of the car,
Normally, a car is placed on this turning device to change direction, so that the final direction of transport of the car can be corrected in a forward direction.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention According to the prior art, the turning device has the following problems:
At the very least, it requires a large enough floor area to carry a car and turn around, which poses a problem in that the effective use of this ground area is hindered. That is, this floor area must be circular, and an access passage for the turning device is required, making it one of the most useful buildings.
This is because the efficiency of floor utilization is significantly reduced.

Therefore, in view of the problems of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a turning device that is installed at ground level instead of being installed at ground level.
By mounting on the lid device for vertical transportation of automobiles, it is possible to eliminate the ground surface area that is prevented from being used effectively by the turning device, and therefore, the efficiency of use of the first floor can be greatly increased. An object of the present invention is to provide a new vehicle loading/unloading device for an underground parking facility.

Means for Solving the Problems The structure of the present invention for achieving the object includes a lifter device and a turn device mounted on the lifter device, and the lifter device has a home position at the ground level and a conveyor device underground. The vehicle is vertically transported between the delivery position and the vehicle, and the vehicle that has turned in a predetermined direction is transported to the home position, and the turning device changes the direction of the vehicle underground directly below the Baume position. That is the gist of it.

Note that the lifter device may be a combination of a guide frame and an elevating member, or a combination of a pantograph type bending mechanism and a horizontal pedestal at its upper end.

With this configuration, when transporting a car, the car can first be loaded onto the turn device mounted on the lifter device in the Baum position, and then the lifter device can be operated. , the vehicle can be transported underground, and at a predetermined delivery location, the vehicle can be transferred to a transport device and stored.

When transporting a car, the car is transferred to the transport device and lid device at the underground delivery location, the turn device changes the direction of the car, and the lifter device transports the car to the home position. Then, the vehicle can be transported to the ground in a predetermined orientation that allows it to start forward.

Note that the turning device may be used to change the direction of the vehicle immediately after the vehicle is transported from the Baume position to the underground delivery location.

It works as described above.

Further, on the upper surface of the upper turning plate 22, a car C can be loaded via a pallet P, and in order to stabilize the pallet P, anti-slip plates 22a, 22a, . . . are provided (second figure).

The lifting stroke of the lifter device 10 is such that the pallet P placed on the two sides of the turn device 20 is at a raised position ((
1) and the underground delivery position (solid line in the figure) where the automobile C loaded via pallet 1-P is transferred between the carriage CRI of the transport device CR. Assume that there is.

In addition, at the delivery position, the telescopic fork devices CR3, CR3 of the conveyance device CR are placed on the upper surface of the horizontal frame 12a,
It is assumed that the turning device 20 can be expanded and contracted in the gap d between the turning device 2Of and the lower surface of the barre P (Fig. 2). Further, at the delivery position, by activating the turning device 20, the direction of the automobile C together with the pallet P can be changed by 180 degrees (dotted chain line in FIG. 2, FIG. 3).

The operation of the car loading/unloading device of the underground parking device with such a configuration is as follows.

First, the lifter device]-0 loads the pallet P onto the turn device 20''2, raises its elevating member 1-2 to the bohm position HP at the ground level, and waits. Further, in the conveyance device CR, the carriage CRI stands by at a standby position facing the elevating member 12 at the delivery position.

Car C enters Bauhm position HP from the outside.
By stopping the pallet P on the lifter device 10 at an appropriate position, the pallet P can be loaded onto the lifter device 10.
In this state, the passenger gets off the car C and leaves the home position HP. Therefore, the lifter device 10
By driving the elevator and lowering the elevating member 12 to the delivery position, the automobile C can be carried underground.

Next, the telescopic fork devices CR3 and C of the transport device CR
When R3 is extended toward the lifter device 10, the telescopic fork devices CR3, CR3 are inserted below the pallet I-P. In this state, the carriage CRI of the transport device CR
If the pallet P is slightly raised, the lower surface of the pallet P can be supported by the telescopic fork devices CR3, CR3, and therefore the car C on the pallet l-P is
It can be transferred onto the carrier and the solid body CR,1 via the telescopic fork devices CR3, CR3.

= 12 = Next, the telescopic fork devices CR3, CR3 are shortened.

As a result, the transport device CR can raise and lower the carriage CRI, and can travel in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the paper in FIG. Can be transported.

The operation of storing the automobile C in the automobile storage space R1 can be performed by the reverse procedure of the above-mentioned transfer operation from the lifter device 10. In other words, first, move the telescopic fork devices CR3, CR3 into the vehicle accommodation space R1.
When the vehicle C is extended toward the vehicle C, the vehicle C can be inserted into the vehicle accommodation space R1. In this state, the carriage CRI is lowered and both ends of the pallet P are supported by the pallet receivers Rla.

To remove car C from car storage space RJ,
First, car C is moved to carriage CR along with pallet P.
Transfer to I. The procedure at this time may be the reverse procedure of the above-mentioned storage operation.

This automobile C can be transported to its standby position by the traveling movement of the transport device CR and the raising and lowering operations of the carriage CRI. Therefore, this is transferred onto the elevating member 12 of the lifter device 1-0 located at the delivery position.

Next, the turning device 20 turns the car C 180°.
After turning and changing direction, if the elevating member 1-2 is raised to the home position HP, the vehicle C can be started forward from the home position HP, and the transport to the ground is completed. It is something that can be done.

In addition, in the above explanation, the direction change of car C is
It was originally designed to be carried out at the time of unloading, but in place of this, when the car C is brought in, when it is transported down from the home position I-IP to the delivery position, it is performed before being transferred to the transport device CR. Of course, it may also be implemented.

Other Embodiments The present invention can also be applied to a conveyor type parking device CP constructed in underground space B (FIG. 4). Here, the lifter device 10 includes a pantograph-type bending/stretching mechanism]-5 and a horizontal pedestal 16 provided at its upper end, and is assembled on a base 17 directly below the home position HP. Further, a turning device 20 is mounted on the horizontal pedestal]-6, and the bending/stretching mechanism 15 moves the automobile C loaded on the turning device 20 via the pallet l-P to the home position HP and the conveyor-type It is assumed that the device can be vertically transported to and from the delivery position with the transport device CR. The parking device CP rotates in the direction of the arrow while maintaining the horizontal posture of the pallet l-P on which the automobile C is loaded, while the conveyance device CR moves the lifter device to a predetermined position of the parking device CP. This is for carrying out the transfer operation of the automobile C between 1 and 0.

Now, when the lifter device 10 lowers the automobile C from the home position HP to the delivery position, or before lifting the automobile C from the delivery position to the home position HP, the turning device 20 changes the direction of the automobile C. By doing so (indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 4), it is possible to realize exactly the same operation as in the previous embodiment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As described in detail, the present invention includes a lifter device and a turn device, the lifter device vertically transports a vehicle between a home position and a delivery position, and the turn device vertically transports a vehicle between a home position and a delivery position. By mounting this on a device and changing the direction of the car underground, there is no need to install any turning device at the home position, and therefore the floor space required for the Baum position can be minimized. This has the excellent effect of significantly improving the utilization efficiency of the first floor of a building.

In addition, by changing the form of the lifter device, the same effect can be applied to the combination of a car storage rack and a stacker crane-type transfer device, or the combination of a conveyor-type parking device and a conveyor-type transfer device. There is also the practical effect of being able to deal with it.
