Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is used in the technical field of storage facilities, and particularly relates to a clothes stain prevention device in elevating parking facilities.

(Prior Art) Generally, in elevating parking equipment that allows vehicles such as automobiles to be parked in upper and lower parking positions, the chain, etc. that suspends the pallet on which the vehicle is mounted is exposed, so the driver or There are many problems in which managers accidentally stain their clothes when they enter parking facilities, and various means have been provided to deal with this problem.

That is, for example, a chain cover formed by bending a steel plate or the like is installed upright on the pallet to shield the outside of the chain that is vertical when the pallet is located in the lower parking position, and when the pallet is in the upper parking position. When the chain cover is raised to the parking position, the chain cover is detached from the outside of the chain and moves upward together with the pallet.

Another method is to pivot the base end of a chain cover made by bending a steel plate or the like onto a pallet, while attaching the tip end of the chain cover to the lower surface of the upper beam or ceiling beam of the parking frame. A cover guide that is removably engaged is provided so that it can move laterally along the length of the vehicle, and when the pallet rises to the upper parking position, the tip of the chain cover engages with the cover guide and tilts while moving laterally. Some are constructed to lie down.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, if the former of the above conventional techniques is installed inside a building and the ceiling beams (floor beams on upper floors) are low, the length of the chain cover is Since the length is limited by the beam, there is a problem that the chain cannot be shielded over the necessary length.

In addition, a rotating chain cover like the latter,
Not only is the structure complicated and expensive, but if the pallet is lifted without noticing that it has been deformed due to contact with a vehicle when leaving the warehouse, the chain cover will not engage with the cover guide and the upper beam or Since there is a risk of damage due to collision with ceiling beams, there are problems such as requiring careful adjustment work and maintenance management.

The present invention has been developed in consideration of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology.
The chain cover is curved according to the winding motion of the chain, and has a structure that allows it to be easily attached and detached, thereby shielding the outside of the chain over a desired length.A device for preventing stains on clothes in elevating parking equipment. is to provide.

(Means for solving the problems) Means for solving the above problems of the present invention are as follows:
In a parking facility in which a pallet on which a vehicle is loaded can be moved up and down between a loading/unloading position and a parking position above the loading/unloading position by a chain connected to a hoisting means and a chain that maintains the horizontal state of the pallet. , when in the loading/unloading position, the chain is exposed vertically on the side of the vehicle loading/unloading section, and the chain is provided with pin links with attachments provided with locking pieces at appropriate intervals. The chain cover has a groove-shaped opening formed by connecting web portions to opposing flange portions by a flexible material, and the chain cover has flange portions on both sides of the groove-shaped opening.
opposing engaging edges are connected at the opening,
The chain cover is characterized in that the engaging edge portion of the chain cover is removably engaged with the locking piece of the chain so that the web portion is on the opposite side of the sprocket.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

1 and 2 show a clothes stain prevention device 1, which is applied to an elevating type parking facility (hereinafter simply referred to as parking facility) 11 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. . In this parking facility, a pallet 12 on which a vehicle (not shown) is loaded from a vehicle entrance/exit section C is moved between a parking position A and a parking position B above the loading/unloading position by a hoisting means 13 such as a forward/reverse motor. Driven sprocket 14
a, 14b, 14c, and 14d, one end is attached to the rear of the pallet 12, and the other end is attached to the balance weight 15.
Two lifting chains 16 connected to a and 15b
A and 16b are driven to raise and lower the pallet 12 while maintaining its horizontal state using a chain 2, which will be described later. 17 is a chain holder.

The clothes stain prevention device 1 includes a chain cover 3 attached to a chain 2.

That is, the chain 2 is constructed by alternately arranging roller links 2a that mesh with the sprocket S and pin links 2b with attachments provided with an L-shaped locking piece 4 consisting of a vertical portion 4a and a horizontal portion 4b. The links 2a and 2b are connected to each other so that the locking piece 4 has each lateral portion 4b projecting toward the side of the sprocket S (see FIG. 2).

The chain cover 3 is made of a soft and flexible material such as synthetic resin and molded to an appropriate length using a mold. A groove-shaped body 8 is formed by forming a web portion 7 connecting one end thereof, and the flange portions 5, 6 on both sides of the opening 8a of the groove-shaped body.
at each other end thereof, opposing engaging edges 9 at the opening 8a,
10 (see Figure 2) are connected.

In the parking facility 11, when the pallet 12 is stopped at the loading/unloading position A, on the outside of the chain 2 exposed vertically on the side of the vehicle loading/unloading section C,
A chain cover 3 of an appropriate length shields the traffic height H from the loading/unloading position A to the parking facility B, and the web portion 7 is located on the opposite side to the sprocket S (second
(see figure), and by tightly engaging the engaging edges 9 and 10 with the lateral part 4b of the locking piece 4 of the pin link with attachment 2b, the clothes stain prevention device 1 is configured.

In addition to the embodiment described above, depending on the relationship between the pitch diameters of the chain 2 and the sprocket S, the chain cover 3 can be mounted with pin links 2b with attachments provided at appropriate intervals.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.

When the pallet 12 is stopped at the loading/unloading position A, the chain 2 exposed in the vertical direction (solid line in Figure 3) on the side of the vehicle loading/unloading section C is covered with a chain cover 3 whose adjacent end surfaces are brought into close contact with each other. Height H
Since this part is shielded, it prevents the driver's clothes from getting dirty even if he accidentally touches it. On the other hand, when the chain 2 on which the chain cover 3 is attached meshes with the sprocket S as the pallet 12 moves up and down, the chain cover 3 engages with the roller ring due to the flexibility of the flanges 5, 6 and the web 7. 2a and the pin link with attachment 2b, while moving together with the chain 2.

Furthermore, when the pallet 12 is stopped at the parking position B, the chain 2 is stopped at the vehicle entrance/exit section B, and the chain 2 is positioned above the vehicle entrance/exit section C in the horizontal direction (dotted line in Figure 3), the horizontal direction Chain 2 is shielded by chain cover 3, so chain 2
There is no risk of oil or fat adhering to the surface dripping.

(Effect of the invention) With the above structure, the chain cover of the invention shields the outside of the vertical chain when the pallet is located at the lower parking position, thereby preventing the driver's clothes from getting dirty. On the other hand, even when the pallet rises to the upper parking position and the chain becomes horizontal at the ceiling position, it not only prevents oils and fats attached to the chain from dripping. If the chain cover is molded using a synthetic resin material, it can be colored in any desired color as a sign, has high corrosion resistance, and can be manufactured at low cost, and is extremely easy to attach and detach from the chain. This greatly simplifies maintenance and management, and furthermore, the chain shielding length can be changed as desired.
