Description

  The present invention relates to a mechanical parking facility including a plurality of pallets on which vehicles can be loaded.

  As this type of mechanical parking facility (hereinafter also simply referred to as “parking facility”), for example, as shown in FIG. 4, as a plurality of pallets on which the vehicle S is loaded, an elevating pallet 104 and a transverse pallet 105 are provided. Parking facilities 100 are known. The traversing pallet 105 is arranged in accordance with the height of the entry surface GL on the loading / unloading floor and is movable in the lateral direction. The lifting pallet 104 is disposed on the upper and lower floors of the loading / unloading floor and is movable in the lifting direction. The parking facility 100 can move the desired pallet to the entry / exit floor when the vehicle enters and exits the entry / exit from the entrance / exit (hereinafter also referred to as “entry / exit approach”). In addition, when the approach is other than the boarding / alighting approach, it is configured to be movable to a predetermined position during storage. In addition, the white arrow in the same figure has shown the image which a pallet etc. move.

And the display pillar standingly spaced apart in the width direction of the flat pallet is arrange | positioned by the entrance / exit side in this flat pallet, The space | interval of this display pillar cannot pass a car. The wheelchair is dimensioned to pass. According to such a structure, since the flat pallet for wheelchairs is provided, the vehicle on the other pallet adjacent to this flat pallet can be boarded by the wheelchair.
JP 2002-21356 A

However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, at least one of the traversing pallets is a pallet dedicated to a wheelchair or the like, and this dedicated pallet is used only as a mere passage, so that the vehicle It cannot be installed. Therefore, the number of vehicles accommodated is reduced by the amount of this dedicated pallet.
Therefore, the present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a mechanical parking facility that can be provided with a barrier-free structure without reducing the number of accommodated vehicles. It is said.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention includes a plurality of pallets on which a vehicle can be loaded, and the one or more pallets are arranged on an entry / exit floor and movable in the lateral direction as the pallets. A mechanical parking facility having a traversing pallet and one or more elevating pallets arranged on the lower floor of the loading / unloading floor and movable in the elevating direction, wherein at least one of the elevating pallets is A roofed pallet having a flat roof at a higher position than the vehicle loaded on the vehicle, and at least one other adjacent to the roof of the roofed pallet on the loading / unloading floor The pallet is a flat pallet in which the surface on which the vehicle is loaded is formed with a flat surface, and the upper surface of the roof of the roofed pallet is configured to be positioned as a passage connecting the flat pallet and the loading / unloading port. It is characterized in that there.

According to the present invention, at least one of the lifting pallets is provided with a roof at a position higher than the vehicle to form a roofed pallet, and the upper surface of the roof is used as a passage, so that the vehicle is also mounted on this pallet. Can do. Therefore, unlike the case where one of the pallets is used only as a passage, the number of vehicles accommodated is not reduced.
And since the passage on the upper surface of this roof is configured so as to be able to connect the flat pallet that can be adjacent to the roof of this roofed pallet on the entry / exit floor and the entrance / exit, the upper surface of this roof is For example, it can be adopted as a barrier-free structure when getting on and off the flat pallet from the entrance / exit through the upper surface of the roof pallet by using a communication passage for a wheelchair. Of course, the present invention is not limited to getting on and off in a wheelchair, and can be applied to, for example, transporting personnel on a stretcher and getting on and off a vehicle.

In this specification, “flat” does not need to be smooth and level on the entire surface, and functions as a communication passage that allows a user to move smoothly between at least the door of the vehicle and the floor of the entrance / exit. The shape to get.
Here, in the mechanical parking facility according to the present invention, the flat pallet and the roofed pallet are configured such that the flat surfaces of each other can be positioned at adjacent barrier-free positions at the same height on the loading / unloading floor. It is preferable. With such a configuration, when the approach to the flat pallet is approached, the upper surface of the roof of the roof pallet and the surface on which the vehicle is loaded on the flat pallet are adjacent at the same height on the loading / unloading floor. For example, it is more preferable to use a wheelchair to get on and off from the entry / exit floor through the upper surface of the roof of the roofed pallet.

  In the mechanical parking facility according to the present invention, it is preferable that the roofed pallet is configured to be positioned at each of the barrier-free position and a normal stop position lower than the barrier-free position. In such a configuration, the roofed pallet can be positioned at a normal stop position lower than the barrier-free position except when the approach to the flat pallet is used, for example, so that the normal movement of the traversing pallet can be performed. This is suitable for preventing interference with the roofed pallet and enabling it to be positioned at a barrier-free position.

  Further, in the mechanical parking facility according to the present invention, it is preferable that a retracting position capable of retracting the traversing pallet on the side opposite to the flat pallet is provided on the loading / unloading floor. If it is such a structure, it can be comprised so that the upper surface of the roof of the roof pallet located in the lower floor may be made to appear by moving (retreating) the traversing pallet in the entering / exiting floor to a retreat position, for example. . Therefore, for example, when one of the lifting pallets is a flat pallet and the flat pallet and the roofed pallet are configured to be positioned at the barrier-free position, for example, a plurality of traversing pallets are arranged on the entry / exit floor. If there is a space on the side of the parking facility even if it is difficult to stop the two-steps, such as the barrier-free position and the normal stop position as described above, due to space, etc. It is suitable for applying the mechanical parking facility according to the invention.

  In the mechanical parking facility according to the present invention, it is preferable that the amount of movement of the traversing pallet to the retracted position is a moving amount in a range smaller than the width of the traversing pallet on the entrance / exit side. With such a configuration, the width of the upper surface of the roof of the roof pallet appears so that the vehicle cannot pass but the wheelchair can pass. This is suitable for prevention.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a mechanical parking facility that can be provided with a barrier-free structure without reducing the number of accommodated vehicles.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a mechanical parking facility according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate. 1 and 2 are views for explaining a first embodiment of the mechanical parking facility according to the present invention, FIG. 1 (a) is a front view thereof, FIG. 1 (b) is a right side view thereof, Moreover, FIG. 2 is a perspective view for demonstrating the roofed pallet among the raising / lowering pallets.
As shown in FIG. 1, the parking facility 1 has a structure of two levels above the ground and one level below the ground, and includes a plurality of pallets on which vehicles S can be loaded, and is provided with elevating pallets 4 and 4A and a horizontal pallet 5A. It is a liftable parking facility.

  Specifically, the parking facility 1 includes a gate-type column 2 including a front column 2a, a rear column 2b, and an upper beam 2c that are erected in an underground pit P. A gate 7 that can be raised and lowered is provided on the front column 2a. On the middle level, which is the loading / unloading floor, one traversing pallet 5A is arranged in accordance with the height of the entry surface GL at the loading / unloading port (the front side of the sheet in FIG. 1 (a)). The traversing pallet 5A is placed on a traversing rail (not shown). And it can move to right and left along the traverse rail, and its stop position is controlled by a proximity switch (not shown).

  In addition, a total of four lift pallets 4 and 4A are provided in two rows on the upper stage of the gate-type column 2 and the lower stage in the pit P, respectively. These elevating pallets 4 and 4A are suspended from the upper beam 2c by an elevating chain (not shown), and can be raised and lowered by driving the elevating motor 3, and the stop position is set by a proximity switch (not shown) or the like. To be controlled. And, for example, when raising and lowering the upper or lower pallet 4 or 4A, by moving the traversing pallet 5A laterally, an empty space can be secured as needed on the entry / exit floor. A series of operations or control is performed by an operation panel 8 provided on the front column 2a and a control panel 9 provided on the rear column 2b. In FIG. 1, a white arrow with a symbol Q indicates an image of moving a pallet or the like, and a white arrow with a symbol P indicates an image in which a vehicle enters and exits at the entrance / exit.

  Here, the traversing pallet 5A is formed with a flat and horizontal surface on which the vehicle S is loaded (hereinafter, this traversing pallet is also referred to as a “flat pallet”). Further, the elevating pallet 4A (one on the lower left side in FIG. 5A) arranged on the lower floor than the traversing pallet 5A has a roof 4c (hereinafter, this elevating pallet is referred to as “with roof”). Also called “pallet”).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pallet 4A with a roof has a pallet part 4a on which the vehicle S is loaded. The pallet part 4a has an improved strength and guides the route of a loading / unloading vehicle, as in a normal pallet. Therefore, it is raised by press molding so that both side portions thereof become ridges, and a ridge extending in the front-rear direction is also formed at the center of the pallet portion 4a. At the four corners of the pallet part 4a, columns 4b are provided to stand on the upper portions of the ridges on both sides. Furthermore, the upper part of the column 4b is higher than the vehicle S loaded on the pallet part 4a. The roof 4c is fixed at a high position. The roof 4c has a rectangular shape that is substantially the same size as the plan view of the pallet portion 4a, and has an upper surface that is flat and horizontal.

And this pallet 4A with a roof is comprised so that the upper surface of the roof may be located as a channel | path which connects the flat pallet 5A and the entrance / exit when the approach to the flat pallet 5A is approached.
Specifically, by designating (calling) the flat pallet 5 </ b> A from the operation panel 8, the control board 9 is configured to execute a boarding / alighting approach to the flat pallet 5 </ b> A. Then, by executing this boarding / alighting approach process, the roofed pallet 4A has a surface on which the vehicle is loaded on the flat pallet 5A and the roof 4c of the roofed pallet 4A as shown in FIG. It will be in the state which stopped in the barrier free position LB which is the position where the upper surface adjoined at the same height on the entrance / exit floor. Hereinafter, the state stopped at the barrier-free position LB is also referred to as “barrier-free arrangement”. In addition, the pallet arrangement state at normal time is also referred to as “normal arrangement”.

Here, the barrier-free position LB in the barrier-free arrangement is a position higher than the normal stop position LA in the normal arrangement, and in the example of this embodiment, the flat surfaces of the flat pallet 5A and the roofed pallet 4A are the same. By being positioned horizontally at the height, it is set to a position that becomes one barrier-free surface in accordance with the height of the entry surface GL of the entry / exit floor.
For the flat pallet 5A, the proximity switches are installed at positions corresponding to the normal stop position LA and the barrier-free position LB, respectively. The stop position is controlled. That is, the roof top pallet 4 </ b> A is in a normal arrangement in which a part other than the flat pallet 5 </ b> A is designated from the operation panel 8 (except when the boarding / exit approach to the flat pallet 5 </ b> A). In order not to interfere with the movement of the vehicle, it is controlled to be located at the normal stop position LA lower than the barrier free position LB.

Next, the operation and effect of the mechanical parking facility 1 will be described.
According to this mechanical parking facility 1, the upper surface of the roof 4c of the roofed pallet 4A can be positioned as a passage connecting the flat pallet 5A and the entrance / exit, and therefore, the upper surface of the roof 4c is exemplified in this embodiment. Thus, it can be employ | adopted as a barrier-free structure at the time of boarding / alighting on a flat pallet through the upper surface of the roof of a pallet with a roof from a loading / unloading entrance by setting it as the communication path for wheelchairs. Of course, the present invention is not limited to getting on and off in a wheelchair, and can be applied to, for example, transporting personnel on a stretcher and getting on and off a vehicle.

  In particular, according to the mechanical parking facility 1, in the approach to the flat pallet 5 </ b> A, the upper surface of the roof 4 c of the roof pallet 4 </ b> A and the surface on which the vehicle of the flat pallet 5 </ b> A is loaded are on the loading / unloading floor. Since it is possible to have a barrier-free arrangement located at the barrier-free position LB adjacent at the height of the entry surface GL, the vehicle S on the flat pallet 5A is covered with a roof from the entry surface GL using, for example, a wheelchair. It is suitable for getting on and off the vehicle S on the flat pallet 5A through the upper surface of the roof 4c of the pallet 4A.

  Furthermore, according to this mechanical parking facility 1, the roofed pallet 4A has the roof 4c at a position higher than the vehicle S loaded thereon, and the upper surface of the roof 4c is used as a passage for a wheelchair, for example. Therefore, the vehicle S can be loaded also on the roofed pallet 4A. Therefore, for example, the site can be effectively used for one of the pallets, unlike the case where the surface on which the vehicle is loaded is used only as a passage. Further, even when a plurality of parking facilities 1 are provided, layout restrictions are not imposed.

  Further, the roof pallet 4A has a barrier-free structure that makes it easy to get on and off the vehicle on the flat pallet 5A using, for example, a wheelchair because the top surface of the roof 4c is formed from a flat and horizontal surface. It is suitable as a passage. Similarly, the flat pallet 5A also has a flat and horizontal surface on which the vehicle S can be loaded. Therefore, for example, a barrier-free structure for getting on and off the vehicle on the flat pallet 5A using a wheelchair. It is suitable as a pallet comprising

Further, according to the mechanical parking facility 1, the pallet 4A with the roof is positioned at the normal stop position LA lower than the barrier-free position LB in the normal arrangement other than the approach to the flat pallet 5A. Since it is comprised, interference with the roof pallet at the time of the movement of the horizontal pallet 5 to the normal horizontal direction is prevented suitably.
Here, in the first embodiment, the pit P has a sufficient depth, and the roofed pallet 4A is configured to be capable of two-stage stopping at the barrier-free position LB and the normal stop position LA. The example which improved the vehicle boarding property of was demonstrated.

On the other hand, in the example described in the second embodiment below, for example, there is no sufficient margin in the depth of the pit P, and even if the two-stage stop is difficult as described above, the parking facility side This is an example in which the mechanical parking facility according to the present invention is applicable when there is a space on the side.
Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3 as appropriate. In the following description, differences from the first embodiment described above will be described, and description of similar configurations will be omitted.

FIG. 3 is a view for explaining the mechanical parking facility according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 (a) is a front view thereof, and FIG. 3 (b) is a view taken along the arrow H in FIG. FIG.
In the first embodiment described above, the example of the flat pallet in which the traversing pallet 5A is the target of the boarding / exiting approach has been described. However, in the mechanical parking facility 1B of the second embodiment, the lifting pallet is set as the target of the boarding / exiting approach. This is an example.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the example of the second embodiment, as an object of the boarding / alighting approach, a lifting pallet 4 </ b> B positioned at the lower right side in FIG. The elevating pallet 4B is a “flat pallet” in which the surface on which the vehicle S is loaded has a flat surface. In addition, about the traversing pallet 5 in this example, the protrusion is formed in the both sides and pallet center part similarly to a normal pallet.

  Furthermore, this mechanical parking facility 1B has a predetermined retreat position T at a place located outside the gate-shaped support 2 with respect to the entry surface GL on the entry / exit floor, and further to this retreat position T. An extending transverse rail 6 is laid. The traversing pallet 5 is movable on the traversing rail 6 to a retracted position T located on the side opposite to the lifting / lowering pallet (flat pallet) 4B. Here, the moving amount W of the traversing pallet 5 to the predetermined retracted position T shown in FIG. 5B is smaller than the width of the traversing pallet 5 on the entrance / exit side. That is, the amount of movement is within a range in which the vehicle S cannot pass but the wheelchair K can pass.

  In the mechanical parking facility 1B according to the second embodiment, the elevator pallet 4B that is a flat pallet is designated (called) from the operation panel 8 in the same manner as the first embodiment. Processing for getting on and off the lifting pallet 4B is executed. The processing of the boarding / alighting approach in the second embodiment is as follows. As the traversing pallet 5 moves on the traversing rail 6 to the retracted position T, the roof top surface of the roofed pallet 4A appears, as shown in FIG. As shown, it is a barrier-free arrangement. That is, in the example of the present embodiment, the stop position of the roofed pallet 4A is one stage of the normal stop position LA = barrier-free position LB, and the traverse pallet 5 is moved to the retracted position T, so that the roofed pallet The upper surface of the roof of 4A is made to appear and has a barrier-free arrangement. Therefore, the traversing pallet 5 and the upper lift pallet 4 are slightly raised at the bottom of the pallet so as not to interfere with the roof of the roofed pallet 4A, and have a slope on the vehicle entry side.

  According to the mechanical parking facility 1B of the second embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the upper surface of the roof 4c of the roof pallet 4A and the flat surface of the lift pallet 4B which is a flat pallet, It can be located in the barrier free position LB at the height of the entry surface GL on the entry / exit floor. Therefore, it is possible to get on and off the vehicle S on the lift pallet 4B from the boarding surface GL through the upper surface of the roof 4c of the roof pallet 4A using the wheelchair K with respect to the vehicle S on the lift pallet 4B.

  Further, according to this mechanical parking facility 1B, the movement amount W of the traversing pallet 5 located on the upper floor of the roofed pallet 4A and adjacent to the lifting pallet (flat pallet) 4B to the predetermined retraction position T is traversing. Since the movement amount is smaller than the width of the pallet 5 on the entrance / exit side, the width (W) at which the top surface of the roof 4c of the roofed pallet 4A that is a barrier-free surface appears is the vehicle S. Although it cannot pass, wheelchair K becomes the range which can pass. Therefore, erroneous entry of the vehicle S into the upper surface of the roof 4c of the roofed pallet 4A is prevented.

As described above, according to the mechanical parking facilities 1 and 1B of the above-described embodiments, a barrier-free structure can be provided without reducing the number of accommodated vehicles S.
The mechanical parking facility according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, in each of the embodiments described above, the example has five pallets on which the vehicle S can be loaded with a configuration of two steps above the ground and one step below the ground. However, the number of pallets is of course not limited to this.

In each of the above embodiments, the flat pallet and the roofed pallet have been described as an example in which the flat and horizontal surfaces of the flat pallet and the roof pallet are adjacent to each other at the same height on the loading / unloading floor and located at the barrier free position LB. However, the roof pallet may be configured such that the upper surface of the roof can be positioned as a passage connecting the pallet adjacent to the roof pallet and the entrance / exit. Also, the surface on which a vehicle is loaded on a flat pallet does not necessarily need to be flat and horizontal. Like a normal pallet, both sides of the flat pallet are used for improving the strength and guiding the route of the loading / unloading vehicle. A ridge extending in the front-rear direction may be formed at the center of the pallet.
Even with such a configuration, for example, a large load can be taken in and out while the vehicle is loaded on a pallet, and the vehicle can function as a versatile passage. Further, for example, it is possible to transport personnel on a stretcher and get on and off the vehicle.

  In addition, even when the ridges are provided on the flat pallet, if the height is set within the range of a level that can be overcome by a normal wheelchair, for example, even if a wheelchair is used, Even if it is possible to get on and off the flat pallet through the top surface of the roofed pallet and provide a relatively high ridge considering the improvement of the strength of the pallet and the route guidance when entering and leaving the car, For example, it can be adopted as a barrier-free structure by setting it within a range where there is almost no hindrance when a physically handicapped or elderly person walks. However, in particular, in the case of a barrier-free structure whose main purpose is to easily move on a pallet on a wheelchair, as illustrated in the above embodiments, the mutual flat and horizontal surfaces are included. It is preferable to make one barrier-free surface horizontally adjacent at the same height on the delivery floor.
