Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a multilevel parking system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a multi-level parking system, it is desirable to provide a partition (floor) between layers in order to prevent the vehicle stored in the lower parking room from getting dirty. However, providing the partition is expensive to construct. Become. Therefore, a system is often adopted in which a vehicle is placed on a pallet and the pallet is stored in a designated parking room without providing a partition.

[0003] In such a system, there is a system in which a vehicle is loaded onto a pallet indoors, and is called a B system (quasi-unmanned system) in the technical standards for mechanical parking lots. In the B system, the machine is driven after a person goes out of the parking system, and most of the current parking systems are based on this system. In this method, since a person enters the parking device when the vehicle is in and out, it is necessary to stop the device for ensuring the safety of the person during this time and install a safety device to prevent the person from approaching when driving. .

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned method B, it is obligatory to stop the operation of the device in order to ensure safety, and the stop time is relatively long, so that The operating rate is low. In addition, a safety device with relatively high reliability is required, and the installation cost becomes high.

On the other hand, there is a system called A system (unmanned system). This system consists of a combination of a parking device and a device for transporting a vehicle, and no one can enter inside the parking device. Therefore, compared to the B method, the downtime for ensuring safety is high, the operating rate is high, and the standard of the safety device is relaxed, so that the installation cost is low.

However, since it is difficult to deliver the pallet in the A system, no pallet is currently used. Therefore, when the pallet is used, there is no choice but to use the B method, which results in a low operating rate and a high installation cost.

It is an object of the present invention to solve the above problem and to provide a multi-story parking apparatus which can use a pallet even though it is of type A.

[0008]

According to the present invention, the above-mentioned object is provided with a transporting machine for raising and lowering between a floor in which a selected parking room is located and a doorway portion, and a vehicle is mounted thereon. In a multi-level parking device of the type in which a pallet is moved to the above layers by a transporter, the transporter has two sets of rails parallel to each other for receiving the pallet, and the pallet is carried on the outdoor side of the entrance / exit. A delivery unit for delivering to the stationary unit, and the delivery unit includes a stationary unit provided near the transporting machine when the transporting machine stops at the entrance / exit when the loading / unloading is performed, and a movable unit provided near the stationary unit. And the stationary portion has two sets of rails whose ends are located close to the ends of the rails of the carrying machine in the extension lines of the two sets of the rails of the carrying machine at the stop position during loading and unloading. Then, move the movable part up and down so that it is located on the extension line of either of the two rails of the stationary part. Pallets with a possible set of rails on adjacent rails are linked together in that direction when traveling on rails, and when one rail moves up and down with respect to the other rail. This is achieved because the connection can be released.

[0009]

In the present invention having such a structure, the vehicle is stored in the parking room in the following manner.

Upon storage, the vehicle is brought by the driver onto the pallet on the rail above the stationary part of the transfer section provided outdoors, whereupon the driver disembarks. At this point, the pallet is connected to another pallet on the rail of the moving part in the upper position.

The carrying machine places an empty pallet on the lower rail, moves up and down to the entrance and exit, and stops, and the door of the entrance and exit is opened.

[0012] As described above, the pallet on which the vehicle is placed on the rail above the stationary portion is pulled into the rail above the carrier. When the pallet is transferred to the transporter, another pallet on the movable part connected to the pallet is transferred to the rail above the stationary part. At the same time, the pallet on the lower rail of the carrier moves to the lower rail of the stationary portion. Thus, the carrier has only the pallet on which the vehicle is mounted on the upper rail.

Next, the carrier lifts and lowers the pallet on which the vehicle is placed to a layer in a designated parking room. At that time, while the pallet on the carrier is disconnected from the pallet on the stationary part, the pallet on the rail below the stationary part is transferred to the empty movable part at the lower position.

A conventional procedure may be used to transfer the pallet from the transporting machine stopped at the designated layer to the parking room.
