Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application 1] The present invention relates to a multi-level circulation parking system in which cars are stored in a plurality of cages that circulate vertically from above J11.

[Background Art] In recent years, with the remarkable increase in the prevalence of cars, the lack of parking spaces has become a serious problem. Especially in today's cities where the underground is elevated.

There is not enough room to allocate valuable land to multiple parking spaces.

In view of the actual land shortage, so-called multi-level parking systems are now being installed in various locations, which hold cars in the air and accommodate many cars in a small site area.

Conventionally, this type of multi-level parking system has been known in which the upper end of a cage carrying multiple cars is suspended from a circular rotor, and the cage is circulated by rotating this rotor. It is being

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the case where the cage is directly attached to and suspended from the rotor as described above, the number of cars that can be accommodated is determined by the diameter of the rotor. Therefore, by increasing the diameter of the rotor, the number of vehicles that can be accommodated can be increased. However, if the diameter is increased, the area occupied by the device will increase proportionally, so in a narrow site area, it cannot be expected to accommodate a large number of devices, and its usefulness is low. . Therefore, a method has been proposed in which the cage is connected to a chain and moved along an elliptical circulation path to improve the ratio of the number of cars accommodated to the site area. There was a problem that there was a risk of cutting due to the weight, and sufficient safety could not be obtained.

This invention was made in order to solve the problems of the conventional devices, and is a recirculating multi-level parking device that can greatly increase the number of cars that can be accommodated per site area and also ensure sufficient safety. For the purpose of providing.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a plurality of movable members that slidably engage with a vertically arranged longitudinally annular rail body, and a predetermined driving force is provided at the center of the rail body. A rotating body that rotates by force is provided, and a cage drive mechanism is provided facing the rotating body and the movable member, which are connected to each other via an arm body and a link member that are pivotably attached to each other so that both parts can move. The front and rear upper ends of a cage in which a car is loaded are respectively attached to each moving member in the mechanism.

[Function] In the present invention, the cage is moved along the rail body through a vertically long annular path by drive mechanisms provided at the front and rear of the cage. That is, in each drive mechanism, the rotation of the rotating body is transmitted to the movable member via the arm body and the link member, the movable member moves along the rail body, and the cage also moves together. In this case, the distance from the moving member to the rotating body will be larger when the moving member is located above the circulation path than when it is located on the side, but the difference in distance is Since it can be absorbed by changing the bending angle with the link member, the rotational force of the rotating body can be reliably transmitted at any position in the circulation path. In this way, the cage can be circulated in a vertically long annular path, compared to conventional devices that take a circular circulation path with the same width and height.

Even if the width is the same, that is, the site area is the same, the number of cars that can be accommodated can be significantly increased.

[Embodiments of the invention] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, l stands for a frame-shaped support placed on the site, 2,
2° is a pair of pillars erected vertically at a predetermined distance in front and behind the abutment 1, and 3.3' is a pair of fixing members 4° and 4' installed on the inner surface of each pillar 2, 2'. This is an annular rail body attached to the rail.

Here, the rail body 3.3' is formed of a plate having a substantially rectangular frame shape when viewed from the front, with long sides 3b, 3d, 3b', and 3d' extending in the vertical direction, and short sides 3a, 3d' extending in the vertical direction. 3d and 3
a, 3d' are located in the horizontal direction. Further, reference numeral 5 denotes a rotation shaft horizontally supported by the pillars 2 and 2';
．． 6' is a disc-shaped rotor (rotating body) fixed to the rotating shaft 5 at a predetermined interval, 71 to 75 and 71' to 75.
' is a plurality of arms arranged and fixed to each of the rotors 6, 6' at equal intervals radially. In this embodiment, five arms are fixed at each rotor 6.6°, and the arms 71 to 75
and 71' to 75° are provided at opposing positions. 81-85 and 81''-85'' have one end connected to 9 and 9'.
This is a link member rotatably attached to the link members 81 to 85 and 81' to 85°, and support shafts 101 to 105 that connect the corresponding ones in the front and rear are rotatably inserted through the link members 81 to 85 and 81' to 85°. has been done. 111-115 and 111'-1
15' is a moving member rotatably attached to both ends of the support shafts 101 to 105, and is slidably fitted to the rail bodies 3 and 3 degrees, respectively. In this embodiment, the moving members include a substantially triangular plate 11 and a roller lla rotatably provided on one side of the plate 11.

11b, llc. In addition, each roller 11a, l
As shown in FIG. 4, the outer peripheral surfaces of lb and llc have fitting grooves 11al and 1lbl for fitting with the rail bodies 3 and 3°.
1lcl is formed, and rollers lla and llb are attached to the outer peripheral edges 31 and 31' of the rail bodies 3 and 3°.
are fitted to the inner peripheral edge at 32 and 32 degrees, respectively. In addition,
By 1 to 115 above, the front side cage driving means A is 1' to
115 degrees constitute rear side cage drive means B, respectively. 12 is a motor fixed to the front pillar 2,
This motor 12 is connected to the rotating shaft 5 through gears 1314, 15, 16, so that the rotating shaft 5 rotates in conjunction with the drive of the motor 12.

Further, cl to c5 are cages in which automobiles are loaded. As shown in FIG. 5(a), these cages c1 to c5 have a bottom ca that slopes gently from the front to the rear, and an inverted U-shaped suspension part cb attached to the front and rear parts of the bottom ca.
It consists of l, cb2.

And the suspension part cb l in each cage cl to c5,
The support shafts io1 to 105 are rotatably inserted through the upper end of the central portion of cb2.

In FIG. 1, E is an entrance for the automobile M formed in the front support 2, and El is an inclined plate for smoothly getting on and off the automobile M at the entrance E.

Based on the above configuration, the operation will be explained next.

By driving the motor 12, the gears 13, 14° 15.16
The rotary shaft 5 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 1 via the rotor 6.

By rotating the rotor 6.6°, the arm body 71~75°71°
~75° rotates, link members 81~85.81'~8
5' through moving members ill~115 and 111'~1
15' and move these moving members to the rail body 3,3°
move it along. This allows each cage cl-c5
is held horizontally by a pair of front and rear moving members 111, Ill' 112, 112°...115, 115°, and moves in a rectangular circulation path along the rail body 3,3°.

By the way, since the rail bodies 3, 3° have a rectangular shape, each moving member 111-115° 111'-11
The distance between 5° and the center of the rotation axis 5 changes with movement. That is, the moving members 111 to 115,
111' to 115° are located at each part of the rail body 3.3°, the distance ahead is the maximum distance s + ax (see Figure 6), and the moving member is located at the long side 3 of the rail body 3, 3'.
When located at the center of b and 3d, the minimum value is 9 layers in.

Therefore, in order to eliminate this distance difference (tmax -1■in), in this embodiment, the length from each moving member to the rotation axis 5 via the link member and arm body is set to be greater than the distance 1max. At the same time, the link member and the arm body are connected in a bendable manner. According to this, the distance change accompanying the movement of the moving member is the link members 81 to 85, 81' to 85'
The moving member 111 in any position is absorbed by the change in the bending angle between the arm body 71~75°71''~75'.
~115.111'~115'' The rotational force of the rotating shaft 5 is also reliably transmitted to the moving member Ill~115.11
1' to 115'' move smoothly within the rail body 3.3°. Thus, in this embodiment, cages 01 to 115'' move smoothly within the rail body 3.3°.
Since c5 can be circulated along the rectangular rail body 3.3', compared to conventional equipment that takes a circular circulation route, it is possible to accommodate significantly more cars even with the same width, that is, the same site area. The number of machines can be increased. Furthermore, since no dangerous members such as chains are used, sufficient safety can be ensured. In the above embodiment, the shape of the rail body 3.degree. 3.degree. is approximately rectangular, but it is not limited to the rectangular shape, but may be formed in other longitudinal annular shapes, such as an ellipse.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, since the cages can be circulated in a vertically long annular path, the number of cars that can be accommodated with respect to the site area can be greatly increased, and
Enough safety can be obtained.
