In order to develop such a parking facility in such a way that a larger number of motor vehicles can be stored, it is proposed that the number of storage devices (60; 142) is greater than the number of storage grid storage spaces (32) and that the excess storage devices (60; 142) are assigned to existing transport grid storage spaces (34) in the transport grids (22, 26).

Description

The invention relates to an automatic parking system for motor vehicles, which is constructed from grids and at least two storage racks and at least two transport grid comprises, wherein motor vehicles in each of the transport grid by means of a transport device along a first direction of movement are movable and storage racks storage bins for storage on Bearing devices are positioned motor vehicles are available, which storage devices are assigned to the storage grid storage bins, and wherein the storage devices of the respective storage grid storage bins in a transversely to the first direction of movement aligned second direction of movement in at least one transport grid and vice versa are movable in the motor vehicle of the respective transport device be transferred to the respective storage device and vice versa under mutual passing.

In such a park, in particular storage bins of a respective storage grid are arranged one above the other, the storage of a motor vehicle is as follows: After a user has positioned his motor vehicle on a transport device of a transport grid and the vehicle has left, the motor vehicle in the transport grid along the first direction of movement in Transported direction of the intended storage grid storage space. This is typically done in a height direction of the park, wherein the transport device is a lifting and lowering device. The storage device associated with the intended storage grid storage area is displaced by a drive transversely to the first direction of movement and thus in particular in a horizontal plane in the transport grid, namely at a crossing point of the transport grid with the horizontal storage plane defined by the storage grid storage space. The transport device passes through the storage device along the first direction of movement from top to bottom, wherein the motor vehicle is transferred to the storage device. This is made possible by the fact that the cross-sections of the transport device and the storage device in the transport grid do not overlap, but in each case partially with the motor vehicle and especially the cross-section of the wheels. Typically, the transport device and the bearing device for this purpose comprise intermeshing comb or fork-shaped support elements for the motor vehicle. For this reason, this technique of the park is also referred to as "comb technique" or "fork technology". Subsequently, the storage device can be moved along the second direction of movement in the proposed storage grid storage space and the motor vehicle to be stored therein. The transport device may for example remain in place or be moved to a rest position.

To move the transport and storage devices, the park includes each known drives that can be controlled by a controller.

Position and direction information such as "above", "below", "horizontally" and the like are in the present case to refer to an operating state of the park, in which storage grid storage locations are usually arranged one above the other in the respective storage grid and each storage grid storage grid storage bins in at least a vertical plane.

Object of the present invention is to develop a generic park so that a larger number of vehicles can be stored.

This object is achieved in a generic parking system according to the invention that the number of storage devices is greater than the number of storage grid storage bins and that the surplus storage devices are assigned in the transport grids existing transport grid storage bins.

In the park according to the invention motor vehicles can also be stored in existing in the transport grids transport grid storage bins. For this purpose, superfluous storage devices are provided, which can be parked in the surplus storage bins. The surplus transport grid storage bins are formed at crossing points of the respective transport grid with the storage levels. As a result, a higher number of motor vehicles can be stored in the park. Since the parking system comprises at least two transport pasters and two storage rasters, each of the transport pasters can be freed from storage devices if a motor vehicle is to be moved in the transport grid with the respective transport device. The clearing of a transport grid takes place in that a parked in a transport grid storage bin storage device is moved to an adjacent grid, which may be a storage grid or another transport grid. If another storage device is already parked in the adjacent grid, it can first be moved into a grid next to it - again a storage grid or a transport grid - with respect to the transport grid to be cleared, etc. This makes it possible to remove storage devices in each storage level of the parking facility from the transport grid to be cleared, so that in this the respective transport device for storage and retrieval can be moved.

As the above description further shows, a storage device may be associated with more than one storage bin. In particular, storage devices are each associated with at least one storage grid storage bin and a transport grid storage bin, wherein it can be reciprocated at least between these two.

It is advantageous if the number of storage devices is maximally so large that at least one transport grid of storage devices can be liberated, so that no empty spaces for intermediate parking and maneuvering of storage devices need to be present in the storage grids. The release of a transport grid of storage devices is, as mentioned, using the driven by the control of the storage device drives to reciprocate the storage devices between the grids and forth.

Preferably, the number of storage devices is so large that exactly one transport grid of storage devices is releasable. This makes it possible to maximize the number of vehicles that can be stored by means of the parking facility.

As mentioned, the parking system may include a controller for controlling the drives of the storage and transport devices. It is advantageous if the control moves the storage devices when not carrying out storage or retrieval of motor vehicles in the storage grid storage bins and transport grid storage bins so that at least one, in particular exactly one, transport grid of free storage devices. If at least one transport grid is kept free of storage devices in a standby mode of the parking facility in which no infeed or removal operations are carried out, the average time of storage or retrieval can be kept as low as possible. For example, the controller may be designed and programmed such that a specific transport grid is defined as a transport grid to be kept free of storage devices, and short-term parkers in this transport grid are stored adjacent storage spaces. In contrast, long-term parkers can be stored in a different transport grid or from the freed-up transport grid more distant storage grids.

Advantageously, the park has alternately storage grid and transport grid in order to keep the average access time as low as possible and to increase the number of vehicles that can be stored as possible.

It is advantageous if the number of storage grids is greater than the number of transport grids in order to increase the number of motor vehicles that can be stored.

In particular, in the last-mentioned embodiment of the parking system, it is favorable if bearing rasters are provided on the outside of the parking system.

As mentioned, motor vehicles are typically stored in superimposed storage levels in the parking system according to the invention, at least two storage levels are provided. In this case, it is expedient for the parking system to comprise shielding devices for protecting motor vehicles arranged below bins - storage grid storage bins and / or transport grid storage bins - and / or storage devices. This makes it possible to protect below each arranged motor vehicles from dripping water, snow, slush, dirt, crushed debris, etc., which triggers or from the above each arranged motor vehicles.

It is advantageous if the shielding devices each comprise at least one planar, for example plate-shaped or trough-shaped shielding element, which is advantageously free of openings or perforations, so that especially water can be reliably retained and effective protection of each below arranged motor vehicles is made possible. The shielding element is made of metal or plastic, for example. It is also conceivable a shield, which is designed as a tarpaulin, which is dimensionally stabilized by piping and / or frame and can be made of plastic or cloth.

Preferably, at least one part and in particular at all of the storage grid storage bins and / or transport grid storage bins these bottom side at least partially covering shielding arranged to protect the respectively underlying motor vehicles.

It is advantageous if fixed shielding devices are arranged on at least one part and in particular on all of the storage grid storage bins. This allows a structurally simple and cost-effective production of the park. Also, a conversion of a conventional park, which is upgraded to a park according to the invention, can be done technically simple and inexpensive. The fixedly mounted shielding devices cover the respective storage locations at the bottom, in particular completely or essentially completely.

It can be provided in another type of embodiment of the park according to the invention, that at storage grid storage bins arranged between two transport rasters stock grid no fixedly mounted Shielding devices are arranged. This can be done, for example, if, as mentioned below, the storage devices themselves comprise shielding devices. Then there is the possibility to sacrifice cost savings on the fixed shielding devices.

Movable shielding devices can also be provided, which can be moved from a release position for the transport device into a shielding position for at least partially covering the underside of a motor vehicle and vice versa.

In order, for example, to enable protection of motor vehicles stored in the transport grid, it is advantageous if movable shielding devices are arranged on at least part of the transport grid storage spaces, which are of a release position, in which the cross section of the respective transport grid at least in the circumference of the transport device movable therein is released, in a shielding position in which the cross section of the transport grid is reduced relative to the release position, and are reversed. In particular, a movable screening device may be present at each of the transport grid storage bins. In the release position, at least the cross section of the transport grid movable in the transport device is released, so that they can pass for storage or retrieval of motor vehicles, the transport grid storage locations associated storage devices, without coming into conflict with the respective shielding. In the respective shielding position, the cross section of the transport grid is reduced in contrast to protect the motor vehicles.

To move the shielding devices drives can be provided of any kind, such as a rack drive, a cable drive, a belt drive, a friction roller drive, a chain drive, etc. The drives of the shielding are controlled by the control of the park to the shielding device from the release to the shielding and vice versa.

It can be provided that the cross section of the transport grid in the release position of the respective movable shielding device is substantially released, so that a conflict of moving in the transport grid transport device with the shielding devices can be avoided.

It is advantageous if the cross section of the transport grid in the shielding position of the respective movable shielding device is substantially blocked in order to effectively protect the motor vehicles respectively arranged below the transport raster storage bins.

In a different embodiment of the park, it is advantageous if the respective movable shielding obstructed in the Abschirmstellung the cross section of the transport grid in the transverse direction of the transport grid storage space each about a quarter to a third, but in the middle a residual cross section in the transport grid of about one half to one third remains. The longitudinal direction of the respective transport grid storage bin coincides with the longitudinal direction of the storage devices and the motor vehicles positioned thereon. In this embodiment, it is possible to block the transport grid laterally so that vehicles positioned on the storage devices can be shielded in the lateral area of its cross-section, in particular below the wheels. In the middle of the transport grid remains a free residual cross-section, which can be blocked, for example, by a arranged on the respective storage device cover, so that overall results in a substantially complete coverage of a positioned on the storage vehicle motor vehicle. As a result, in addition, the material used for the movable shielding devices and their adjustment path from the release position into the shielding position can be kept as low as possible. This ensures a constructively simple and cost-effective production of the park and reduces the average access time to motor vehicles.

Advantageously, the movable shielding devices are each displaceable along the second direction of movement transversely to the respective transport grid. As a result, the required height for the shielding can be kept as low as possible and a compact design of the park can be achieved. Furthermore, it can be ensured that water taken up by the shielding device is not emptied when transferring between the shielding position and the release position and is distributed over respective motor vehicles arranged underneath.

In a different embodiment of the parking system can be provided that the movable shielding devices are pivotally mounted on the grids.

In a structurally particularly simple embodiment of the parking system, it is favorable if the respective movable shielding device is mounted movably and in particular displaceably on at least one fixedly mounted shielding device of a storage grid adjacent to the transport grid. This allows a structurally simple design of the park, with a retrofitting of conventional parks can be structurally simple and inexpensive to perform.

In another embodiment, it may be provided that the respective movable shielding device is mounted movably on a grid of the parking facility itself. For example, the shielding devices may be attached to and mounted movably on a grid of the parking facility forming the grid, which is constructed of vertical and horizontal beams.

Preferably, the movable shielding device is disposed above the fixedly mounted shielding device. This makes it easier to dehydrate a movable shielding device into the fixedly mounted shielding device.

Advantageously, the respective shielding device comprises two shielding elements, which can be inserted into the transport grid when transferring from the release position into the shielding position from opposite sides. The provision of two shielding elements makes it possible to quickly transfer the shielding device from the release position into the shielding position and vice versa. Conveniently, in this case each of the shielding elements is movably, in particular displaceably, mounted on a fixedly mounted shielding device of a storage grid adjacent to the transport grid. By introducing it into the transport grid, its cross-section can be reduced, and by moving it out of the transport grid, its cross-section is released, so that the associated transport device can be moved unhindered in the transport grid.

It can be provided that the respective movable shielding device can be coupled or coupled with a bearing device for transferring from the release position into the shielding position and vice versa. This makes it possible to save a drive for the movable shielding device. For example, a storage device, when stored in a transport grid storage bin, may be coupled to the shielding device. This makes it possible, under the action of a drive for the storage device, to move the latter as well as the screening device into the transport grid in order to store therein the storage device and to shield a motor vehicle positioned thereon at the bottom. Conversely, the storage device and the shielding of the transport grid storage space can be moved into a storage grid, and thereby the shielding of the shielding position in the release position. As a result, the transport grid is released, so that the transport device can move therein. A coupling between the bearing device and the shielding takes place in a structurally simple embodiment mechanically, for example by means of cooperating coupling elements, such as in the form of Mitnehmeranschlägen. A magnetic coupling is also conceivable. It can be provided that the coupling can be canceled in order to load and unload a motor vehicle on the storage device in a simpler manner. For this purpose, it may be provided that a coupling element coupling the bearing device to the shielding device is transferred from a coupling position, in which the bearing device and the shielding device are coupled to one another, into a decoupling position in which the coupling is canceled. For example, a coupling element in the form of a driving stop can be electromagnetically transferred from the coupling position into the decoupling position and / or vice versa. If the coupling element assumes the decoupling position, only the bearing device can be moved into the transport grid, whereas the shielding device remains in the release position in order to ensure the mobility of the transport device in the transport grid.

It has already been mentioned that the storage devices can also comprise shielding devices. It is favorable in this case if at least a part, and in particular all, of the bearing devices each comprise a movable shielding device which can be transferred from a release position into a shielding position, wherein the shielding devices cover motor vehicles positioned on the respective bearing device in the shielding position to a greater extent on the underside as in the release position and the shielding device in the release position, when placed in a transport grid storage space, the cross section of the transport grid at least in the periphery of the movable transport device releases therein. According to the manner described above, in the case of movable shielding devices arranged at the transport raster storage bins, by providing movable shielding devices on the storage devices, a motor vehicle positioned thereon can be covered on the underside. This is possible if the respective storage device is located in a transport grid storage bin or in a storage grid storage bin. This also gives the opportunity to dispense with permanently attached shielding.

In a structurally simple embodiment can be provided that the storage devices each comprise at least one support member on which the respective shielding device is mounted displaceably in the transverse direction of the storage devices to transfer them between the release and the shielding position.

In a further embodiment of the parking system can be provided that the respective shielding device is pivotally mounted on at least one support member.

A compact design of the parking system can be achieved in that the movable shielding device is arranged below the at least one carrier part.

It is expedient if the respective at least one carrier part is arranged centrally in the transverse direction of the respective bearing device and the respective movable shielding device comprises two shielding elements which can be transferred starting from the at least one carrier part in opposite directions from the release position into the shielding position and vice versa. As a result, the motor vehicle positioned on the storage device can be shielded in particular laterally below the wheels. It can further be provided that the at least one carrier part likewise comprises a cover which shields the motor vehicle in the middle, so that the motor vehicle can be covered substantially completely at the bottom.

Advantageously, the shielding elements are arranged one above the other, because this makes it possible to achieve a compact design of the storage devices and thus of the parking facility.

In an advantageous embodiment of the parking system can be provided that the respective movable shielding in the shielding the block cross section of the transport grid in the transverse direction of the transport grid storage space each about a quarter to a third blocks. In particular, the shielding device can each block a quarter to one third of the cross section of the transport grid laterally, each with one of the shielding elements. The at least one support member can block the transport grid with a cover approximately half to one third in the middle. It turns out in practice that thereby the use of materials can be kept as low as possible and the construction of the park is simplified. In addition, the adjustment of the shielding device, in particular the shielding is kept as low as possible.

The park may include the aforementioned control that transfers movable shielding devices to the shielding position only when a motor vehicle is positioned on the bearing device. This makes it possible, for example, to ensure that the transport device can pass through a storage device arranged in a transport grid storage bin in a transport grid if the movable shielding device of this storage bin assumes the release position. As a result, the average access time of the park can be kept as low as possible.

Preferably, the park includes at least one dewatering device for discharging liquid from the shielding devices. The particular trough-shaped shielding can thereby be dewatered, and the respectively underlying motor vehicles are better protected.

Advantageously, movable shielding devices are fluidly connected via fluid conduits with fixedly mounted shielding devices so that movable shielding devices can be dewatered into shielding devices fixedly attached to the storage lanes. The latter can for example be connected to a downpipe and drained via this.

In a different advantageous embodiment of the park according to the invention, it is advantageous if at least a portion of the storage devices, and in particular all storage devices, on them releasably positionable pallets for receiving motor vehicles are assigned in the transport grid of the respective storage device to the respective transport device under mutual passing and are reversible übergebbar. In this case, the cross section of the respective transport device and the cross section of the respective storage device overlap at least partially with the pallet. As a result, the possibility, as explained at the beginning, of transferring the pallet and thus a motor vehicle from the transport device to the storage device and vice versa at a crossing point of the transport grid with the storage levels. The provision of pallets associated with the storage devices has several advantages. For example, the pallets may cover vehicles positioned thereon below and shield vehicles located thereunder from water, snow, slush, dirt, chippings or the like. This makes it possible to save shielding devices, and it is also possible to dispense with the drives of movable shielding devices. The control of the park is simplified. A user is made more comfortable entering the park when he parked his car on a pallet, as when he enters the ridge or fork tines of the transport devices. In the event that the park is installed in a pit and the driveway is provided on the top, the risk is reduced that the user attributable objects, such as a keychain, falls into the transport grid.

It is of course conceivable that the storage device existing parks, which are upgraded to a park according to the invention, pallets are assigned.

It is favorable if the pallets are free of openings or perforations, because this improves the shielding of the motor vehicles positioned below the respective storage device. However, it can be provided that the pallets comprise a drainage opening for drainage.

It is advantageous if the pallets and the storage devices each comprise cooperating alignment elements for aligning relative to one another in at least one spatial direction and / or if the pallets and the transport devices each comprise cooperating alignment elements for aligning relative to one another in at least one spatial direction. This makes it possible to position the pallets in each case reliably on the storage devices and / or the transport devices. The respective alignment elements interact, for example, in a form-fitting manner. The orientation relative to each other is in particular in horizontal planes perpendicular to the first direction of movement, d. H. in the storage levels as well as parallel levels.

Preferably, the parking system comprises a controller that causes the transport of the pallet to the respective storage device assigned to it when no motor vehicle is positioned on the pallet. For example, the controller can control the drives of the transport device and the respective storage device after the removal of a motor vehicle so that the now empty pallet is transported back to its associated storage device and positioned thereon. Thus, the storage of empty platforms can be saved as well as the space required for this, so that a more compact design of the park is possible.

It can of course be provided that in the park both at least a portion of the storage devices associated pallets are used as well as fixed and / or movable shielding.

1 shows a schematic side view of a first preferred embodiment of a reference numeral 10 occupied park according to the invention. The park 10 includes a storage rack 12 that on a floor surface 14 is fixed upright. The storage rack 12 is in a conventional manner from crosswise interconnected vertical supports 16 and horizontal straps 18 (Crossbeams) and 19 (Longitudinal beams) constructed.

In functional terms, the park is 10 composed of a plurality of grids, namely, five grids arranged side by side. Starting from the right side in 1 includes the park 10 a first storage grid 20 , a first transport grid 22 , a second storage grid 24 , a second transport grid 26 and finally a third storage grid 28 , wherein the meaning of "storage grid" and "transport grid" will be explained below. Thus, the park has more storage grid 20 . 24 and 28 on as a transport grid 22 and 26 , and on the outside, it includes the two storage grids 20 and 28 ,

In a plurality of each horizontally aligned and stacked storage levels, namely seven storage levels, are only in 1 illustrated motor vehicles 30 in the park shelf 12 embeddable. In the so-called stock grids 20 . 24 and 28 For this purpose, seven are each denoted by the reference numeral 32 designated stock grid bins present in the respective storage grid 20 . 24 respectively. 28 are arranged vertically above one another. As far as following from storage place 32 the speech is, it concerns a storage grid storage place 32 ,

In the transport grids 22 and 26 are also storage areas for motor vehicles 30 present, namely seven also vertically stacked and with the reference numeral 34 occupied transport grid bins. As far as below on storage bins 34 Reference is made to transport grid bins 34 , At the in 1 presented current configuration of the park 10 are only the bins 34 of the first transport grid 22 with motor vehicles 30 busy. In contrast, the storage bins 34 of the second transport grid 28 completely free of motor vehicles 30 ,

The park 10 also has two bottom sides on the transport rasters 20 and 26 arranged entrances and exits 36 respectively. 38 on where users use their motor vehicles 30 the park 10 can pass and pick up from this.

As mentioned, it is the park 10 one upright on the base 14 standing park. It could also be provided that a variant of the park entirely or at least partially in a below the base 14 located pit is arranged. Furthermore, the park includes only grid 20 to 28 in a perpendicular to the base 14 aligned vertical plane (drawing plane in 1 ). However, it is also conceivable that the grid 20 to 28 in a variant of the park 10 extend in at least one other, parallel to the above-mentioned vertical plane (in 1 perpendicular to the drawing plane) and that motor vehicles 30 can also be stored in one of these other vertical planes.

As follows in particular from the 1 and 2 becomes clear, includes the park 10 for the transport of motor vehicles 30 in the transport grids 22 and 26 transporters 40 respectively. 42 , hereinafter referred to as lifter 44 respectively. 46 designated. The lifter 44 is for clarity only in 1 but not in the 2 to 4 shown. The lifters 44 and 46 are by means of schematically illustrated drives 48 respectively. 50 each in the vertical direction in the transport grids 22 respectively. 26 movable. At the drives 48 and 50 For example, chain drives are known per se, and they are via control lines, not shown in the drawing, from an electronic control 52 controllable.

The lifters 44 and 46 are configured identically and each comprise two longitudinal members in a conventional manner 54 attached to vertical straps 16 are movably mounted. From each of the side members 54 stands in the direction of the other side member 54 a first group of spaced support members 56 and at a distance to a second group of spaced support elements 58 from. Illustrated are exemplary five support elements 56 and ten support elements 58 , The support elements 56 serve to receive a front wheel and the support elements 58 for receiving a rear wheel of a motor vehicle 30 , The support elements 56 and 58 can each be considered as "tines" of a fork or a comb, which is why in the park 10 Also known as "comb technology" or "fork technology".

For storing motor vehicles 30 in the storage areas 32 and 34 includes the park 10 storage devices 60 , below as platforms 62 referred to, which are each configured identically. The platforms 62 each comprise two spaced-apart and between the horizontal beams 18 extending side members 64 , the support parts of the platform 62 form. The side members 64 are frontally, the horizontal straps 18 facing, on both sides by means of cross beams 66 connected with each other.

The crossbeams 66 are at the horizontal straps 18 slidably mounted in the horizontal direction and thus transversely to the transport direction of the lift 44 and 46 in the transport grids 22 and 26 , This allows the platform 62 from the storage grids 20 . 24 and 28 in the transport grid 22 and 26 and vice versa. To shift the platform 62 is at each of the bins 32 and 34 one in the drawing only schematically illustrated and each with the controller 52 via a not shown in the drawing control line in operative connection drive 68 available. The drive 68 For example, is a known belt or a friction drive.

The respective side members 64 a platform 62 are on the top of a cover 70 covered, the transverse to the longitudinal direction about half to about one third of the respective grid 19 locked in a strip, with the cover 70 almost completely from the front to the rear cross member 66 extends.

From the side rails 64 each extending in the direction of an adjacent grid, a first group of spaced-apart support elements 72 and at a distance to a second group of spaced support elements 74 , Illustrated are exemplified four support elements 72 and nine support elements 74 , The support elements 72 and 74 are each designed tine-shaped and can with some play between the support elements 56 respectively. 58 the lifter 44 and 46 intervention. Furthermore, it turns out is one of the platforms 62 in a transport grid 22 and 26 arranged, no overlap of the cross sections of the lift 44 respectively. 46 and the platforms 62 , This gives the option of the lifter 44 and 46 in a vertical direction, so to speak "through the platforms 62 to move through. motor vehicles 30 can do this between the lifters 44 and 46 and the platforms 62 be handed over. The transfer takes place at one of the intersection points of one of the transport pasters 22 and 26 with one of the storage levels. Thus, motor vehicles are in the park 10 vertically at the transport grids 22 and 26 using the lift 44 respectively. 46 and the drives 48 respectively. 50 transported and horizontally in the respective storage level using the platforms 62 and drives 68 ,

The platforms 62 are the respective storage places 32 and 34 Assigned, where "assigned" here means that a particular one of the platforms 62 and a motor vehicle positioned in this position in a specific one of the respective storage bins 32 and 34 can be turned off. For example, in 1 the platforms 62 in the warehouse grid 20 the storage areas 32 and 34 in the warehouse grid 20 and in the first transport grid 22 assigned at the same storage level. The first in the transport grid 22 illustrated platforms 62 are storage places 32 and 34 in the first transport grid 22 and in the second storage grid 24 assigned. The second storage grid 24 illustrated platforms 62 are the storage places 32 and 34 in the second storage grid 24 and in the second transport grid 26 assigned. Finally, the platforms 62 , in 1 shown in the third storage grid 28 , the storage areas 32 and 34 in the third storage grid 28 and in the second transport grid 26 assigned. The assignment takes place in each case within the same storage level.

The above description shows that according to the present invention, the number of platforms 62 the park 10 greater than the number of storage bins 32 in the warehouse grids 20 . 24 and 28 , This allows platforms 62 and motor vehicles positioned thereon 30 not only in the storage grids 20 . 24 and 28 can be stored, but also in the transport grids 22 and 26 , The latter include for this purpose just the transport grid bins 34 ,

It is at the park 10 especially just so many platforms 62 provided that exactly one transport grid 22 or 26 using the controller 52 and the drives 68 of platforms 62 is liberated at the in 1 configuration illustrated the transport grid 26 , This ensures, on the one hand, that in the storage grids 20 . 24 and 28 no empty spaces for intermediate parking and maneuvering platforms 62 need to be present. On the other hand, the average access time of the park 10 be kept as low as possible, because the number of transverse displacements of platforms 62 is reducible. For example, it could be provided that the controller 52 is designed and programmed so that the bearing grid 24 and 28 with motor vehicles 30 occupied by short-term parkers, the transport grid 22 and the storage grid 20 In contrast, preferably with motor vehicles 30 from long-term parkers. Is the controller 52 so trained and programmed, the transport grid 26 keep free as in 1 are shown in the storage grids 24 and 28 stored motor vehicles 30 very quickly stored and retrievable. For this purpose, these motor vehicles 30 each from one of the crossing points of the transport grid 26 with one of the storage levels from the lift 46 to the respective platform 62 and vice versa.

In contrast, one of the vehicles 30 in the transport grid 22 outsource at least those below the auszulagernden motor vehicle 30 arranged platforms 62 in the warehouse grid 24 in the transport grid 26 and the platforms 62 of the transport grid 22 in the warehouse grid 24 , Subsequently, the auszulagernde motor vehicle 30 in a known manner using the lifter 44 be outsourced.

Is one of the stock grid 20 stored motor vehicles 30 To outsource, are initially at least arranged below and on the same storage level platforms 62 in the grids 22 and 24 into the grid 24 respectively. 26 to move. Subsequently, the auszulagernde motor vehicle 30 on the associated platform 62 in the transport grid 22 moved and by means of the lift 44 be outsourced in a known per se.

As explained above, a plurality of platforms 62 for clearing a transport grid 22 or 26 can be provided that these platforms are moved simultaneously to keep the average access time as low as possible. The requirements for the electric power of the park 10 as well as their mechanical stability can be reduced, however, in which the platforms 62 and so that the masses are successively shifted, which increases the average access time. It can be provided that a mixed form of simultaneous and successive displacement of platforms 62 is used.

The storage of motor vehicles 30 in the park 10 takes place, for example, vice versa to the manner explained above. Of course can also be provided that preferably the transport grid 22 of platforms 62 is kept free.

In the parking system according to the invention can thus be by providing redundant platforms 62 whose number is the number of storage bins 32 exceeds a higher number of motor vehicles 30 store. Nevertheless, in practice, that shows the average access time to a motor vehicle 30 can be kept sufficiently low.

The park 10 covers for the protection of motor vehicles 30 Shielding devices, which are discussed below. So are at each of the bins 32 the storage grid 20 . 24 and 28 fixed shielding devices 76 arranged, directly below the respective storage bins 32 , The fixed shielding devices 76 each comprise a planar or trough-shaped shielding element 78 that by means of in 3 schematically illustrated holding elements 80 at the bottom on the horizontal cross members 18 of the storage rack 12 is firmly connected. This is also in 1 Shown schematically for the lowest storage level. The holding elements 80 For example, conventional mounting angles with the shielding 78 and the horizontal straps 18 are bolted.

The shielding elements 78 , in the present case designed as tubs 82 , are free of openings or perforations. This gives the option below the respective tub 82 in the warehouse grids 20 . 24 and 28 in one of the bins 32 positioned motor vehicles 30 to protect against water, snow, slush, dirt, chippings or the like arising from a motor vehicle 30 above the respective tub 82 to solve. For this purpose, the tubs block 82 the cross section of the storage grid 20 . 24 and 28 each substantially complete ( 2 and 3 ).

However, see 3 , each of the tubs 82 at least one downpipe 84 by means of a liquid line 86 be connected to the tub 82 to drain. The downpipes 84 and the fluid lines 86 Together form a dewatering device 88 the park 10 ,

Each of the transport grid bins 34 are movable shielding devices 90 associated with two identical and symmetrical to each other on the storage rack 12 arranged planar or trough-shaped closed shielding 92 , In the present case, the shielding elements 92 as tubs 94 designed. The tubs 94 are each on one of the permanently mounted tubs 82 Slidably mounted in the horizontal direction, on opposite storage grids 20 and 24 respectively. 24 and 28 the transport grid 22 respectively. 26 on the storage shelf 12 are attached. For this purpose, each tub includes 94 two horizontally aligned holding elements 96 formed in corresponding to them groove-shaped guides 98 the tubs 82 slidably guided. In the longitudinal direction of the tubs 82 and 94 are the holding elements 96 and the guides 98 in front of the support elements 72 or behind the support elements 74 arranged.

For moving the trays sideways 94 is every holding element 96 a drive 100 assigned to the tub too 82 firmly attached. The drive 100 is for example a rack drive, a belt drive, a friction roller drive or a rope or chain drive. With the controller 52 stand the drives 100 via control lines, not shown in operative connection, so that they can be controlled by this.

It is also conceivable, the moving tubs 94 on the storage shelf 12 to store movable, for example, on the cross members 18 to which for this purpose the guides 98 and the drives 100 can be attached.

The tubs 94 are in the longitudinal direction of the storage bins 34 as well as deported platforms 62 just sized so that the space between the cross members 66 is essentially completely blocked. In the transverse direction of the storage bins 34 are the tubs 94 so dimensioned that they are from the cross section of the transport grid 22 and 26 each side about a quarter to about a third obstruct. This corresponds essentially to the remaining free cross section of the transport grid 22 and 26 if in the respective storage bins 34 platforms 62 are arranged ( 3 ).

The movable shielding device 90 is convertible from a release position into a shielding position and vice versa, wherein the drives 100 from the controller 52 be controlled in a corresponding manner. The troughs are in the release position 94 outside the cross section of the transport grid 22 and 26 arranged, on opposite sides of the respective transport grid 22 . 26 adjacent storage grid 20 and 24 respectively. 24 and 28 , Therefore, the free cross section of the respective transport grid 22 . 26 fully released in the release position, allowing the lifter 44 respectively. 46 can be moved in these.

To transfer the tubs 94 in the shielding position are the drives 100 activated to the retaining elements 96 in the guides 98 to move in a horizontal direction. The tubs 94 a shielding device 90 are characterized by opposite sides in the respective transport grid 22 . 26 postponed. The shift takes place until the tubs 94 , considered in projection onto the transport grid 22 and 26 , to the side members 64 from in the respective storage place 34 parked platforms 62 devices. This has the consequence that in the shielding of the shielding 90 the cross section of the transport grid 22 . 26 is reduced.

In combination of the shielding device 90 with one in a storage bin 34 parked platform 62 is the cross section of the transport grid 22 . 26 essentially completely lockable. Of these, as noted, about half to about two-thirds of the pans are transversely of the storage bin 94 locked on the side and from the cover 70 about half to about a third in the middle. This allows one on a storage bin 34 positioned motor vehicle 30 essentially completely covered at the bottom. motor vehicles 30 below the respective motor vehicle 30 in the transport grid 22 . 26 are turned off, thereby effectively protected against water, snow, slush, dirt, crushed debris or the like.

It is understood that to clear a transport grid 22 . 26 also the respective storage places 34 associated shielding devices 90 are to be transferred to the release position, so that the respective lifter 44 respectively. 46 can be moved in it. In particular, it can be provided that the storage bins 34 associated shielding devices 90 only be transferred to the shielding position when in the storage bin 34 a platform 62 parked and on it a motor vehicle 30 is positioned. Otherwise, the respective shielding 90 remain in the release position to reduce the average access time.

For drainage of the tubs 94 includes the dewatering device 88 fluid lines 102 , with each tub 94 via a fluid line 102 in one of the fixed tubs 82 on which it is stored, can be drained. For this purpose, it proves beneficial that the tubs 94 above the tubs 82 are arranged.

The following is a variant of the park 10 and discussed further preferred embodiments of the park according to the invention. Characteristics that are the same or equivalent to characteristics of the park 10 are assigned the same reference numerals. The with the park 10 achievable benefits are also achieved with the parks presented below, and it will only address the essential differences.

In a variant of the park 10 , in the 4 only partially in one of 3 corresponding manner, the movable shielding device comprises 90 only a closed shielding element 104 , which is designed planar or trough-shaped. In the present case, it is in the shielding 104 around a tub 106 standing at one of the fixed tubs 82 the solid shielding devices 76 by means of the retaining elements 96 , Guides 98 and drives 100 is mounted horizontally displaceable. Preferably, they are in the transport grid 22 sliding tubs 106 at the tubs 82 of the storage grid 20 and those in the transport grid 26 sliding tubs 106 at the tubs 82 of the storage grid 28 slidably mounted.

It is also conceivable, however, the moving tubs 106 on the storage shelf 12 to store movable, for example, on the cross members 18 to which for this purpose the guides 98 and the drives 100 can be attached.

The tubs 106 are sized to fit the cross section of the transport grid 22 . 26 each substantially completely block when they occupy the shielding position. In this case, they cover those in the storage bins 34 arranged platforms 62 Essentially completely from the bottom to underlying motor vehicles 30 effectively shield. In the respective release position give the tubs 106 the cross section of the transport grid 22 . 26 free, being completely above the respective fixed wells 82 are arranged (not shown).

In a further and not shown in the drawing variant of the park 10 that have similarities to in 4 illustrated variant of the park 10 has, is the movable shielding device 90 none of the drives 100 assigned. Instead, the shielding devices 90 that like in 4 one tub each 106 include, with the platforms 62 coupled and taking advantage of their drives 68 from the release to the shielding position and vice versa.

For example, below each bin 34 of the storage grid 24 two tubs 106 displaceable in the horizontal direction and arranged one above the other on the storage shelf 12 stored, for example, on the cross members 18 , From these two tubs 106 is one in the transport grid 22 slidable, each other in the transport grid 26 , The former tub is with that platform 62 couplable at the in 1 illustrated configuration of the park 10 in the transport grid 22 is shown. The last named tub 106 is with that platform 62 couplable at the in 1 illustrated configuration in the warehouse grid 24 is shown.

The coupling between the tubs 106 and the platforms 62 can through cooperative Coupling done, for example, driver stops. An electromagnetic coupling is also conceivable. The coupling, for example by Mitnehmeranschläge, can be canceled, for example by the respective coupling element is transferred from a coupling position to a decoupling position. For this purpose, it may be provided that on the platforms 62 from the controller 52 controllable electromagnets are present for transferring the coupling elements from the coupling position to the decoupling position and / or vice versa.

For example, should the in 1 in the warehouse grid 24 stored motor vehicles 30 in the meantime in the transport grid 26 can be stored, the platforms 62 with the respective tubs 106 be coupled, so that both the platforms 62 as well as the tubs 106 under the action of the drives 68 in the transport grid 26 be moved and thus the tubs 106 in the shielding position. Conversely, the platforms can 62 and the tubs 106 from the transport grid 26 under the action of the drives 68 be removed, with the tubs 106 be transferred to the release position.

Is one of the stock grid 24 illustrated motor vehicles 30 can outsource, the corresponding platform of the associated tub 106 be decoupled by the respective coupling element is transferred to the decoupling position. This allows the platform 62 including motor vehicle 30 in the transport grid 26 to move by the motor vehicle 30 to the lifter 46 can be handed over. Due to the decoupling, the trough 106 remains in the bearing grid 24 so the lifter 46 unhindered in the transport grid 26 can be moved. The same applies to the in 1 in the transport grid 22 illustrated platforms 62 as well as the tubs that can be coupled with them 106 ,

In this variant of the park 10 can even those in the warehouse grid 24 firmly attached shielding devices 76 omitted.

The 6 and 7 show in sections a second preferred embodiment of a reference numeral 110 occupied park in the 2 and 3 corresponding way. At the park 110 Although the solid shielding come 76 used, but not the movable shielding 90 , For the bottom covering of motor vehicles 30 in the transport grids 22 . 26 instead are movable shielding devices 112 intended.

Every shielding device 112 is from a platform 62 includes, is arranged at the bottom of this and has two closed shielding 114 of planar or trough-shaped shape. The shielding elements 114 are present as tubs 116 designed in their dimensions essentially the tubs 94 the shielding devices 90 correspond, and they are arranged to save space on each other. At the crossbeams 66 are the tubs 116 in appropriate guides 118 Slidably mounted in the horizontal direction. To their drive include the platforms 62 drives 120 (in 7 shown schematically), which are designed for example as rack drives, belt drives, friction roller drives or chain drives. The drives 120 are with the controller 52 connected and thereby controlled by this.

The mobile shielding devices 112 can take a release position in which the pans 116 each below the side members 64 and the cover 70 are arranged ( 5a ). In the release position, the cross section is one in a storage bin 34 arranged platform 62 without overlap with the cross section of the respective lifter 44 or 46 so that this in the transport grid 22 respectively. 26 can be moved. By control of the controller 52 can the tubs 116 by means of the drives 120 be transferred to a shielding position in which they are in opposite directions from the longitudinal beams 64 horizontal in the guides 118 be moved. In the shielding position, the tubs block 116 the cross section of the transport grid 22 and 26 in combination with the cover 70 in both the longitudinal and transverse directions substantially complete, as in the case of the park 10 with the tubs 94 in the shielding is the case. This allows a reliable shielding from below the respective platform 62 arranged motor vehicles 30 be ensured.

It is specifically intended that the controller 52 the movable shielding device 112 only transferred to the respective shielding position when on the respective platform 62 a motor vehicle 30 is positioned. Furthermore, at the park 110 be provided that the fixed shielding 76 completely or completely omitted. For example, suggests that the fixed shielding 78 in the middle storage grid 24 omitted. The in the grids 22 and 24 arranged platforms 62 can each be movable shielding devices 112 include a shield in the transport grids 22 . 26 and in the warehouse grid 24 to enable. In contrast, in the storage grids 20 and 28 platforms 62 without movable shielding devices 112 be provided, but solid shielding 76 , However, it is also possible that each of the platforms 62 a movable shielding device 112 includes, then no solid shielding 76 need more to be available.

The shielding elements 78 . 92 . 104 and 114 In the present case, for example, some or all of them are made of metal and / or plastic. Instead of pans 89 . 94 . 106 and 116 could the shielding 78 . 92 . 104 respectively. 114 also be designed plate-shaped. It is also conceivable to use shielding elements designed as tarpaulins.

9 shows a third preferred embodiment of a park according to the invention, denoted by the reference numeral 130 is occupied in one of 2 appropriate way. At the park 130 are in place of the transport devices 40 and 42 Transport devices provided, of which only a transport device 132 in the transport grid 26 is shown, hereinafter lifter 134 , The lifter 134 comprises two longitudinal members constructed symmetrically to each other 136 , each end to the vertical straps 16 are movably mounted and by means of the drives 48 and 50 can be moved vertically. From each side member 136 stands in the direction of the other side member 136 crenellated a plurality of support elements 138 from. For example, there are four support elements each 138 provided by rectangular cross-section. Each support element 138 has a vertically projecting alignment element 140 on, which is designed in the present disk-shaped.

Instead of storage devices 60 are storage devices 142 , below platforms 144 , intended. The platforms 144 each comprise two mutually parallel side members 146 , the ends on both sides by means of cross beams 148 are connected. longitudinal beams 146 and crossbeams 148 fulfill the same purpose as the side members 64 and crossbeams 66 the platforms 62 , The cross sections of the platforms 144 and the lifter 134 in the respective transport grid 22 . 26 do not overlap, so the passing of motor vehicles at the crossing points of the transport grid 22 . 26 with the storage levels can also be explained as explained above.

Next includes the park 130 pallets 150 , each platform 144 exactly one pallet 150 assigned. The pallet 150 is closed and thus free of openings or openings, and it is used to hold motor vehicles 30 , For this purpose, it comprises in a conventional manner parallel to each other wheel wells 152 longitudinal. Here are the pallets 150 in the transition area of the wheel wells 152 to a middle section 154 folded twice. The middle section 154 is in the transverse direction of the pallet 150 each dimensioned so that he has the side members 156 the pallets 150 can overlap positively. This allows alignment and fixation of the pallet 150 relative to the platform 154 in a horizontal plane.

Furthermore, the bottom of the pallet 150 aligning 156 provided in the form of cylindrical recesses 158 , In the recesses 158 can the alignment elements 140 of the lift 134 interlock positively. This ensures alignment and fixation of the pallet 150 relative to the lifter 134 in a horizontal plane.

Instead of twice four support elements 138 as well as alignment elements 140 and 156 may also be more or less support and alignment elements, in particular two times two support and alignment elements. It can also different, z. B. alignment in the form of centering mandrels, such as conical, and associated recesses, also tapered, instead of the alignment 140 and 156 be provided. Also cooperating alignment angles on the side rails 136 and the pallets 150 are conceivable.

At the park 130 serve the pallets 150 for transporting motor vehicles positioned thereon during storage and retrieval. Because the cross section of the pallets 150 in the transport grid 22 . 26 each with the cross section of the platforms 144 and the cross section of the lift 134 overlaps, the pallets become 150 at the crossing points of the transport grid 22 . 26 with the storage levels including motor vehicles positioned thereon 30 to hand over.

Furthermore, the pallets allow 150 , each of which arranged below motor vehicles 30 Shield from water, snow, slush, dirt, chippings or the like. For this reason, the shielding devices 76 . 90 and or 112 at the park 130 can be saved, of course, can be provided that this also in the park 130 can be used. Also conceivable are mixed forms of the parks 10 . 110 and or 130 in which both pallets 150 as well as shielding devices 76 . 90 and or 112 can be used.

By saving the shielding devices 76 . 90 and or 112 can also be assigned to these drives 100 respectively. 120 be saved, so that the control of the park 130 simplified. For a user, offer the pallets 150 the advantage of getting into the park 130 on the pallets 150 can make much more pleasant than on the spaced support elements 56 and 58 the lifter 44 and 46 ,

In the control of the park 130 In particular, it is provided that the pallets 150 after the removal of the motor vehicle back to its assigned platform 144 be transported back. This can empty spaces for pallets 150 which otherwise would have to be provided for their storage, can be saved. This allows the park area 130 compact build.
