Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an improvement in the car loading section of a multi-level car storage warehouse, and allows the car to be loaded at the optimal position on the pallet depending on the size of the car or the type of car. The present invention relates to a vehicle loading device which is configured to check the application status of the handbrake.

[Conventional technology and its issues]

New cars produced at an automobile factory are temporarily stored in a hangar. A three-dimensional warehouse is used as one method for this storage. As shown in Fig. 1, the storage in this multi-level warehouse is carried out by loading the automobile 8 on a pallet 6,
A pallet 6 is supported by a beam 5 extending from a pillar 4 and stored in a storage shelf. The stored automobile 8 is taken in and out together with the pallet 6 by a fork 7 of a stacker crane.

In this way, since the automobile is stored on the pallet 6 or transported by the stacker crane, the automobile must be mounted on the pallet 6 at a predetermined position. For example, the pallet 6 is made to fit a large vehicle, so if a small vehicle is mounted on the pallet 6, it may be mounted at an off-center position on the pallet 6. If a car is mounted on the pallet 6 in such a state, an unbalanced load will be applied to the pallet 6, resulting in an unstable condition not only during storage but also during movement using a stacker crane.

Further, the automobile is mounted on the pallet 6 with the handbrake applied, but if this handbrake is not reliable, the situation becomes extremely dangerous. For example, it is very dangerous if a car is mounted on a pallet in an off-center position and the handbrake is not reliable. If a car were to fall from a storage rack, not only would there be damage to the car, but there would also be a risk of fire.

In the conventional multi-storey warehouse for storing automobiles, no special consideration was given to the loading section, and the loading section was supplemented by the shape of the pallets. That is, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the pallet 6 was made to suit large vehicle types. In the figure, palette 6 includes
A protrusion 6a is provided in accordance with large vehicle types, and the front and rear wheels abut against this protrusion to fix the vehicle itself in a predetermined position on the pallet 6. Also,
In FIG. 4, which shows the front view, the part into which the wheels are inserted is concave so that they can be mounted at predetermined positions on the pallet 6 in the lateral direction as well.

However, in the case of a small vehicle, as shown in FIG. 3, there is a considerable margin between the protrusion 6a and the wheel of the vehicle 8. In such a case, if the handbrake is not applied properly and the car 8 starts to move, there is a high possibility that the car will go over the protrusion 6a and fall.

The object of the present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a loading device for a multi-level warehouse for storing automobiles, which allows a vehicle to be mounted on a predetermined position on a pallet and also allows checking of the handbrake at the same time. This is what I am trying to do.

[Means to solve the problem]

The structure of the present invention that solves the problems of the prior art is that, in a car loading device for a multi-level car storage warehouse, in which cars are placed on pallets and the pallets are stored in storage shelves, the above-mentioned pallet is set at the initial loading position of the car. A movable bed is disposed on the outside of the front part of the vehicle and has a drive means that moves back and forth in the longitudinal axis direction of the vehicle depending on the size of the vehicle or the input signal of the vehicle type, and that applies a reversing force to the vehicle. The movable bed has a stop lever that can be switched between a position for positioning the vehicle that comes into contact with the front wheels of the vehicle entering the pallet or the front part of the vehicle body such as the front bumper, and a position for retracting the vehicle out of the pallet area. It has been established.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below.

Figure 5 (top view) and Figure 6 (front view)
In this section, the actuating device of the stop lever will be explained. In the figure, the stop lever 12 is projected (moved in and out) above the pallet 6 by a cylinder 17 via a short culm 19. In this example, cylinder 17
As a result of the operation, the stop lever 12a is rotated from the position indicated by the imaginary line to the position 12 (approximately 90 degrees), so that it projects above the pallet 6. This cylinder 17, short culm 19, and stop lever 1
2 is mounted on the movable bed 16.
Moreover, this movable bed 16 is screwed into a screw bar 15 fixed to a base plate 20 and is slidably supported by a guide rod 14, and by rotating the screw bar 15 with an electric motor 18,
A moving bed 16 moves parallel to the pallet 6. 21 is a roller rotatably provided on the stop lever 12. Stop lever actuator 13
is provided in the bit 22 as shown in FIG. 6, and the height of the stop lever 12 is spaced a certain distance from the top surface of the pallet 6, so that it comes into contact with the front wheels of the automobile 8.

In this embodiment, the stop lever 12 is designed to come into contact with the front wheels of the automobile 8, but it may also come into contact with, for example, the front bumper of the automobile 8.

Next, FIG. 7 shows a loading section of a multi-level warehouse for storing automobiles. In the figure, gates No. 5 to No. 8 are shown. In the figure, 23 is a guide that regulates the direction of the vehicle.

[Explanation of action]

First, in carrying-in, a driver drives the car and transports the car to the carrying-in section. At this time, the driver has a card unique to the vehicle, inputs the card into the computer managing the warehouse, and heads to the designated gate.

The type of vehicle is determined by inputting this card into the computer, and the electric motor 18 is driven to position the stop lever 12, and the cylinder 17 is actuated to project the stop lever 12 above the pallet 6 and wait for the car 8 to be brought in. In this state, the vehicle 8 is driven, the vehicle 8 is carried in following the guide 23 (see FIG. 7), and the vehicle 8 is stopped when the front wheels come into contact with the stop lever 12, and the handbrake is applied. In this state, the automobile 8 is stopped at an optimal position on the pallet 6. Next, the electric motor 18 is rotated to move the movable bed 16 in the direction of reversing the automobile 8 via the stop lever 12 in contact with the front wheel, and the handbrake is checked. For example, this is confirmed by checking whether or not the electric motor 18 is rotating. If the handbrake is not applied reliably, the car 8 will move backwards, so in this case, the stop lever 12 is positioned again, and then the car is moved forward again.

In this way, after the car 8 has been positioned at the optimum position on the pallet 6 and the handbrake has been set, the trolley 2 is moved as shown in FIG.
4 and stored in the storage shelf 2 by the stacker crane 3. Note that this device is indispensable even in the case of a multi-level warehouse where automobiles are stored without using pallets.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the configuration of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

According to the loading device for a three-dimensional automobile storage warehouse according to the present invention, the position of the stop lever is determined according to the type of car, the movable bed is moved via the stop lever in the direction of reversing the car, and the handbrake is checked. By doing this, it is possible to mount the car at the optimal position on the pallet for all types of vehicles, and the handbrake can be reliably checked, there is no unbalanced load on the pallet, and when it is stored, In addition, it is stable when being transported by a stacker crane, and since the handbrake is fully applied, the stability can be further improved, and it has an excellent effect as a device for a multi-level warehouse for storing automobiles.
