Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vertical circulation parking device that stores an electric vehicle, and more particularly to a vertical circulation parking device that can charge the electric vehicle during parking.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, a vertical circulation type parking device is known in which a vehicle is circulated and transferred vertically and stored.

This parking device has a large number of cages that move up and down along a hoistway, and the cages are mounted at equal intervals on a chain that moves in a vertical direction. In order to enter the vehicle in the parking device configured as described above, the vehicle is loaded into the cage that waits at the entry level from the entry / exit port, and then the cage is raised or lowered to a predetermined height for storage before exiting. Has moved the cage with the vehicle to the exit level and then started the vehicle from the exit.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, in recent years, it is expected that electric vehicles will be widely used as vehicles for pollution control by exhaust gas, and even electric vehicles can be stored in a cage. Generally, it takes a long time to charge an electric vehicle, and installing a charging facility in a home parking lot or pay parking lot also saves time for the driver, and the parking lot replaces a gas station. Since it has the potential, it will also be popular in parking lots.

The present invention was created in consideration of the above circumstances.

An object of the present invention is to provide a vertical circulation parking device that can store an electric vehicle and can be charged during parking.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention relates to a vertical circulation type parking device for storing an electric vehicle on a cage that circulates at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction, and stores the charging outlet connected to the battery of the electric vehicle in the cage. An electrode connected to the charging outlet is provided, and the electrode is connected to an endless trolley wire provided over the entire circumference of the moving path of the electrode when the cage is moved.

[0008]

[Action]

 In order to charge the electric vehicle in the vertical circulation type parking device as described above, the battery of the electric vehicle is connected to the charging outlet provided in the cage. An electrode provided on the cage is connected to the charging center, and this electrode is connected to an endless trolley wire that is arranged all around the moving path of the electrode. By connecting the battery of the electric vehicle and the charging outlet, continuous charging is possible regardless of the position of the cage until the car is unloaded.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 shows a vertical circulation type parking device for vertically storing a large number of electric vehicles. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the parking device 1 is an electric vehicle to be put in and taken out. A hoistway 3 is formed to raise and lower 2, and a loading / unloading port 4 for loading and unloading the electric vehicle 2 is formed below the hoistway 3. Therefore, the lower entry type parking device 1 is configured.

In the hoistway 3, a chain 5 that vertically moves in the vertical direction is hung between sprocket wheels 6 and 7 arranged vertically. The electric vehicle 2 is mounted on the chain 5 for storage. A plurality of box-shaped cages 8 are attached at equal intervals. Therefore, in order to enter the warehouse, the electric vehicle 2 that has been loaded into the cage 8 waiting at the entry / exit opening 4 is lifted up and stored, and to exit the vehicle, the electric vehicle 2 is placed to start the electric vehicle 2. The cage 8 will be lowered to the exit level.

In particular, a charging outlet 12 connected to a battery (not shown) of the electric vehicle 2 by a cord 11 is attached to each cage 8 on the floor side, and a cord 13 is connected to the charging outlet 12 of the cage 8. The electrode 14 is attached to the top. The electrode 14 is connected to a trolley wire 15 for supplying electric power to the electric vehicle 2. The trolley wire 15 is endless over the entire movement path of the electrode 14 when the cage 8 is moved as shown in FIG. Is installed in. Therefore, a power feeding path for feeding power from the trolley wire 15 to the battery of the electric vehicle 2 via the electrode 14 and the charging outlet 12 is formed.

In such a configuration, since the power supply path connecting the charging outlet 12 and the trolley wire 15 is always in an electrically connected state, the charging outlet provided in the cage 8 at the time of warehousing. Power is supplied to the electric vehicle 2 simply by connecting the battery 12 of the electric vehicle 2 to the battery 12 of the electric vehicle 2. Therefore, regardless of the position of the cage 8, it is possible to continuously charge until the product is delivered.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the battery of the electric vehicle 2 is supplied with power from the trolley wire 15 through the electrode 14 provided in the cage 8 and the charging outlet 12, charging is performed within the parking time. This makes it possible to save time for the driver without having to secure a separate charging time. Further, at the time of storage, power can be supplied only by connecting the battery of the electric vehicle 2 and the charging outlet 12 provided in the cage 8, and the electrical connection for power supply can be easily made.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 In short, according to the present invention, since the battery of the electric vehicle is supplied from the trolley wire via the electrode provided on the cage and the charging outlet, charging can be performed within the parking time, and the charging time is separately set. You don't have to reserve it, you can save the driver time.
