Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a device for lifting and lowering the roof of a carport for parking a vehicle.

[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention] In general, carports are of the so-called cantilever type, in which the pillars are on one side and support the roof, or the so-called double-sided type, in which the pillars are on both sides and support the roof. There are formulas, etc. However, in the past, all of these had fixed roofs, so the height of the roof had to be raised so as not to provide support for vehicles to enter and exit or for people to ascend and descend. For this reason, although it can protect against rain and snow in almost windless conditions, when the wind and rain become a little strong, the roof does not protect the vehicle enough and rain, etc. blows in from the sides, and it also protects against dust and frost in winter. had similar problems.

Therefore, Utility Application No. 51-106468 (Utility Application No. 53-25135)
As shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2003-111003, a vehicle has been proposed in which a roof part that can cover a vehicle is assembled so that it can be raised and lowered. However, this device is constructed such that the roof is supported by a holding member provided at the center of the roof, and the holding member is guided up and down by a guide member set up on the ground. Therefore, when the roof is in the raised position, it is in a so-called cantilevered state and is unstable not only when it is in the raised position, but also when it is being raised or lowered, and it is subject to large swings back and forth and left and right due to the wind, and the holding member is unstable. Not only is there a risk of it being easily damaged, but there are also problems such as the roof hitting the main building.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention was devised for the purpose of providing a lifting device for the roof of a carport that can eliminate these drawbacks. In a carport where a roof part that can cover a parked vehicle is not assembled so that it can be raised and lowered, there are support pillars erected at appropriate intervals on the left and right edges of the roof part, and approximately the top and bottom of each support pillar. at least a pair of guide rollers protruding from the position toward the left and right sides; a support column erected from the carport floor facing each of the support columns; and a support column formed to guide the guide rollers. a sprocket provided at the upper end of the support, a chain suspended from the sprocket with both sides hanging down, and one end connected to the guide roller side, and the other end of the chain connected. and a balance weight, the roof portion being
It is characterized in that it is configured to be raised and lowered by being supported by upper and lower guide rollers on a plurality of pillars located at the front and rear of the left and right edges, respectively.

With this structure, the present invention has a roof that covers the vehicle that can be raised and lowered freely, but the roof is supported in a stable state not only in the raised position but also while being raised and lowered. This is how it was done.

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. In the drawing, 1 is the roof part of the carport C, and the roof part 1 includes a ceiling panel 1a, a side panel 1b hanging from the left and right edges of the ceiling panel 1a, and a side panel 1b hanging from the front and rear edges of the ceiling panel 1a. Although it is formed using each panel body of the front and rear panels 1c, in the embodiment, the ceiling panel 1a
is made of synthetic resin material such as acrylic, side panel 1
b. The front and rear panels 1c are made of cloth. Reference numeral 3 denotes support columns that are integrally erected on the side panel 1b at appropriate intervals, and in the embodiment, three support columns are provided on each of the left and right side panels 1b. Furthermore, a vertically long bracket 3a is provided on the support column 3 and protrudes outward from the left and right, and two guide rollers 4 are supported on the upper and lower portions of the bracket 3a.

On the other hand, reference numeral 2 denotes columns erected on the floor, and there are six columns, three on each side of the roof 1, facing each support column 3. The guide rollers 4 are fitted into guide rails 2a formed on the opposing columns 2 so as to be able to freely roll in the vertical direction. Furthermore, pillar 2
A sprocket 6 is provided at the upper end of the
A chain 5 is suspended from the sprocket 6 so that its both ends hang down, and one end of the chain 5 is connected to the upper end of the bracket 3a.
The other end is connected to a balance weight (weight body) 7 that is loosely fitted into a weight storage portion 2b formed at the back of the support column 2 so as to be movable up and down. Thus, in the roof portion 1, the guide rollers 4 are connected to the guide rails 2, respectively.
By rolling up and down guided by a, the balance is maintained by the balance weight 7, and the raised position where there is no support for entering and exiting the vehicle, etc., and the lowered position, which covers the vehicle from the top to the sides. It is configured to be freely displaceable.

In the embodiment of the present invention constructed as described above, when the vehicle is stored in the carport C, the roof portion 1 is placed in the raised position. When the vehicle is stored, the roof section 1 is lowered to the lowered position so that the vehicle is covered by the roof section 1 and is reliably protected from rain and wind.

That is, when the roof part 1 is placed in the raised position, it is at a high position and there is no support for vehicles to enter and exit or for people to go up and down, and it can be used as a conventional carport, but when the vehicle is stored, By placing the roof part 1 in the lowered position, the roof part 1 approaches the vehicle and covers the vehicle from the top to the sides, so that the vehicle is covered with a seat cover. Therefore, it is reliably protected not only from wind and rain but also from dust and the like.

As described above, in the present invention, the roof portion 1 is constructed to be able to rise and fall freely to protect the vehicle.
In this structure, a plurality of support columns 3 are erected at intervals on the side panel 1b of the roof section 1, and upper and lower guide rollers 4 provided on the side of the support columns 3,
They are guided by guide rails 2a on the side of the support columns 2, which are erected to face each of the support columns 3. As a result, the roof part 1 is supported by the upper and lower guide rollers 4 at the left and right edges of the plurality of pillars 2 located at the front and back, respectively, and of course when it is in the raised position. This means that it is reliably supported by the support column 2 in a stable state even during elevation. Moreover, the guide roller 4 has a vertically long bracket 3.
Since they are provided at the upper and lower parts of a, it is possible to extremely reduce vibration when the roof section 1 is raised and lowered.Furthermore, since the roof section 1 is balanced and supported by the balance weight 7, the raising and lowering is smooth and easy. becomes.

Furthermore, when the roof part 1 is lowered, the support columns 3
is in contact with the ground, so the roof part 1 is connected to the pillar 2
Not only that, but also the support column 3 provides support, and therefore, even stronger support is provided in the lowered position. Also,
It is also possible to dry futons, etc. on the roof part 1 in the lowered position, and space utility can be effectively utilized.

It should be noted that the present invention is of course not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the roof may be raised and lowered not manually but electrically, and furthermore, a locking device is provided to determine the upper and lower limit positions of the roof. Furthermore, in order to reduce the wind load, an open-air structure may be adopted, for example, at the end of the roof.

[Operations and Effects] In summary, the present invention is constructed as described above, and the roof portion is configured to be able to be raised and lowered so that the vehicle can be reliably protected from wind and rain when stored in a carport. However, in this case, the upper and lower guide rollers on the supporting column side, which are installed in plural numbers at intervals on the left and right edges of the roof, are connected to the guide rails on the supporting column side, which are erected so as to face each supporting column. Each of them will be guided. As a result, the roof is supported by the upper and lower guide rollers on the front and rear pillars at the left and right edges, not only when it is in the raised position but also when it is being raised or lowered. It will be reliably supported by the pillars in a stable state. Therefore, the roof in the raised position will not be shaken greatly by the wind, and damage to supporting members such as guide rollers can be avoided, and the roof will not collide with other objects. There are no problems that can cause problems. Moreover, since the guide rollers are provided at the upper and lower positions of the support columns, it is possible to extremely reduce vibrations when the roof section is raised and lowered.Furthermore, since the roof section is balanced and supported by balance weights, the roof section can be raised and lowered in a balanced manner. It becomes smooth and easy.
