Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a shock absorber provided in a cage frame of a vehicle-mounted cage in a mechanical parking device.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a vertical circulation type in which a large number of vehicle-mounted cages 1 are circulated vertically to store a vehicle 2 and a vehicle is loaded into and unloaded from the cage 1 at a vehicle loading location before an entrance / exit 3 of the vehicle. Parking devices are well known.

In such a type of parking device, generally, the cage 1 includes a chassis 4 and a pair of front and rear wheels having lower ends of left and right legs attached to left and right sides of front and rear portions of the chassis 4 in a vehicle entry direction, respectively. It is composed of a gate-shaped cage frame 5.

In order to reduce the installation space of the parking device as much as possible, the width of the cage frame 5 is set to the minimum necessary for the vehicle 2 to pass through, but in recent years it has largely protruded from the side of the vehicle. A large number of vehicles 2 equipped with door mirrors 6 have appeared, and when the vehicles 2 get in and out of the vehicle, accidents frequently occur in which the cage frame 5 is contacted and damaged.

Therefore, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-19166, for example, the middle portion of the left and right legs of the cage frame 5 on the side where the vehicle 2 mounts the flexible protection member 7 shown in FIG. It has been proposed to fix it to the vehicle and to protect the side projection of the vehicle 2.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, such a protection member 7 has the following drawbacks. (1) Since the protective member itself is only tightly wrapped around the cage frame due to its elasticity, it falls gradually due to vibration during cage operation, and it cannot serve the role of protecting the door mirror. (2) Actually, an adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the protective member to attach it to the cage frame, but it cannot be easily replaced if the surface becomes worn out over time. Also, if you want to change the mounting position, you cannot do it easily. (3) Since the protective member does not rotate around the cage frame, the effect of cushioning the impact is weak, and it has a sufficient function as a protective member in relation to protrusions other than door mirrors and vehicle entry speed. It can not be said.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and is not only an effective protection material for not only door mirrors but also any protrusions such as antennas and half doors, and a protection member that can be easily replaced. The purpose is to provide.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention relates to a parking device in which a cage member of a vehicle mounting cage is provided with a protective member for protecting the side protrusion of a vehicle when the cage frame comes into contact with the side protrusion of the vehicle. The cage frame is provided with a stopper that is wrapped around and below the protective material to hold the protective material.

[0009]

[Action]

 With the above configuration, when the protrusion of the vehicle comes into contact with the protective material, the protective material is not only deformed to absorb the impact, but also the protective material rotates around the cage frame to absorb the impact. Absorb.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is an enlarged view showing a state in which a protective material 10 according to the present invention is provided on a cage frame 5, FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a base forming a part of the protective material 10. 11 is a cross-sectional view of only 11, FIG. 5 is a front view of the stopper 13 holding the protective material 10, and FIG. 6 is a plan view of FIG.

In the figure, 10 is a protective material according to the present invention, which comprises a base 11 having projections 11a provided at predetermined intervals and a cushioning material 12 fitted to the projections 11a. For example, the base 11 is made of resin. The cushioning material 12 is made of rubber and is wrapped around the cage frame 2 so that it surrounds the cage frame 2 so that the projections 11a ₁ and 11a _{2 on} the end form a set of projections 11a. The protective material 10 is formed by fitting the buffer materials 12 that are provided one by one.

Therefore, the ends of the base 11 are joined together by the cushioning material 12.

Numeral 13 is a stopper for holding the protective material 10 so as not to slide down, and is, for example, a resin having an arc shape (a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the cage frame 5) having notches 13a at both ends. The molded product is combined with the notches 13a so that the notches 13a fit into each other and fitted into the cage frame 5 at the upper and lower positions to which the base 11 is attached.

In short, since the present invention has a structure in which the protective member 10 can freely rotate around the cage frame 5, not only is the effect of mitigating the impact on the protrusion of the vehicle very high, but also the replacement Can be done very easily. In addition, by changing the colors of the base 11 and the cushioning material 12, it is possible not only to properly call attention but also to greatly improve the design.

Next, FIG. 7 is an enlarged view showing a state in which the protective member 20 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is attached to the cage frame 5, and FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 9 is a sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG. 7, and FIG. 10 is an explanatory view showing the structure of the protective member 20 in FIG.

Reference numeral 20 in the figure is a second protective material according to the present invention, which is composed of a foam 21 having notches 21a provided at predetermined intervals and a reflection tape 22. The foam 21 is pasted with the notch 21a facing outward, leaving one end, and tack paper 22a is pasted to the one end.

This protective material 20 is loosely wrapped around the cage frame 5 so that the notch 21 a of the foam 21 faces the cage frame 5, and the tack paper 22 a of the reflection tape 22 is peeled off to form an adhesive surface at the end. Is attached to one surface of the reflective tape 22.

Numeral 23 is a stopper for holding the protective material 20 so as not to slide down. For example, a belt 23b such as an electric wire binding band is passed through a hollow rubber tube 23a so that the protective material 20 is protected. The rubber tube 23a is wound around the attached cage frame 5 at the upper and lower positions, and the belt 23b is tightly fixed by the stoppers 23c at the cuts between both ends of the rubber tube 23a. In this way, the belt 23b is blindfolded by the rubber tube 23a, which is not a design problem.

Also in this case, since the protective member 20 has a structure in which it can freely rotate around the cage frame 5, not only can the impact on the protrusion of the vehicle 2 be greatly reduced, but also foaming can be achieved. Since the cushioning effect of the body 21 is great, the protective effect is sufficiently exerted even when the collision speed against the protective material 20 is relatively high. Also, it does not take time to replace it. In addition, even if the protrusion comes into contact with the rubber tube 23a that functions as a stopper, such as when the vehicle enters in the state of a half-door, the rubber tube itself has a cushioning action. The vehicle will not be damaged.

Next, FIG. 11 is an enlarged view showing a third embodiment of the present invention in which the protective member 30 is attached to the cage frame 5, and the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 7 and 9 are the same. Show things.

Reference numeral 30 in the figure is a third protective material according to the present invention. For example, a rubber 31 having a thickness which is divided into two is prepared, and an end portion of the rubber 31 is provided with irregularities to surround the cage frame 5. Install so that the concavities and convexities fit together when wound loosely, and insert the pin 32 into the hole provided in the facing thickness part so that it can be removed freely, so that this protective material 30 does not slide down. The stopper 23 is attached in the same manner as described above.

[0022]

[Effect of device]

 With the above-mentioned configuration, the present invention exhibits the following unique effects. (1) Since the protective material has a structure that allows it to freely rotate around the cage frame, not only is it extremely effective in absorbing the impact on the vehicle's protrusions, but it is also removable. Replacement is very easy. (2) Since the color of the protective material can be made to be a colorful color that is conspicuous, it is possible to configure a cushioning device that can naturally draw attention without impairing the design.
