DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a safety device for a parallel parking system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Many mechanical multi-story parking systems have been constructed as means for solving the shortage of parking lots, but it is desired to accommodate more vehicles under the restrictions on the shape and size of the site due to the difficulty in obtaining land. Figure 2
A parallel parking device as shown in FIG.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of cages 2 are suspended from an endless chain 1 and a driving device (not shown) is provided.
The front parking device 3 to be circulated is provided on the site 6 facing the road 5, and the rear parking device 4 is arranged in tandem behind the front parking device 3. A pit 7 is formed at the lower part of the pit 7 and a traverser 10 is provided in the pit 7.

The traverser 10 reciprocates between the two parking devices 3 and 4 via wheels 9 on a rail 8 laid in the pit 7 in the longitudinal direction.
Denotes a pallet for vehicle loading, which is detachably provided to the cage 2.

[0005] By the way, the most common accident in a mechanical parking device is that the parking device is driven in a state where the door of the automobile is not completely closed. Make contact with
There is a so-called half-door accident.

As a countermeasure against this accident, as shown in FIG.
And the slave levers 20b and 20c are provided with a half-door accident prevention lever device 20 formed in a parallelogram shape so that the door can be turned freely. It is designed so that it does not protrude from the width of the area and cause a contact damage accident.

[0007]

However, such a safety device usually has a mechanism operated by a dedicated driving device, and in a parallel parking device using a traverser,
There remains a troublesome problem to be solved, such as the location of the drive device.

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide an optimal safety device for a parallel parking device using a traverser.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a plurality of parking devices each having a cage having a detachable pallet are arranged in tandem with a loading / unloading port, and are provided in a pit provided at a lower portion of each of the parking devices. In a parallel parking system in which a traverser moves horizontally, a pallet is provided with a half-door accident prevention lever device having a downwardly extending portion so as to be rotatable, and a traverser extending toward a wall surface of a pit below an entrance. An operation lever device having an extending portion that protrudes is movably provided, and the operation lever device is provided with an engagement lever that engages with the extension portion of the half-door accident prevention lever device by movement.

[0010]

With the above construction, the half-door accident prevention lever is automatically driven only by moving the traverser to the entrance.

[0011]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall view of a half door accident prevention device according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a detailed view of a portion P in FIG.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 30 denotes a half-door accident prevention lever device provided on the side surface of each pallet 12, and includes a half-door accident prevention lever 31 and slave levers 32, 33, which are rotated in a parallelogram shape as in the prior art. It is freely configured.

That is, the upper ends of the slave levers 32 and 33 are rotatably connected to the half-door accident prevention lever 31, the lower end of the slave lever 33 is axially fixed to the side surface of the pallet 12, and the slave lever 32 is The intermediate portion is axially fixed to the side surface of the pallet 12, and the lower end is attached so as to extend downward. 3
2a is an extension of the slave lever 32.

Reference numeral 33a denotes a spring for keeping the slave lever 33 in an upright state, as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, the traverser 40 is provided with an elevating unit 41 for lifting the pallet 12 and lowering the pallet 12 on the cage 2 for lowering.
Is provided with an operation lever device 42.

The operating lever device 42 is an operating lever 42
1 and an engagement lever 422.
One end of the operating lever 421 is rotatably attached to the elevating unit 41, the intermediate portion of the engaging lever 422 and one end of the operating lever 421 are rotatably connected, and the other end of the operating lever 421 extends outward. In this state, it is attached movably in the longitudinal direction.

The extension 421a of the operation lever 421 is disposed so as to face the wall surface 7a of the pit 7 of the entrance / exit 11.

Next, the operation of the apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, in the case of loading and unloading to the rear parking device 4, the pallet 12 placed on the storage cage or the storage cage of the rear parking device 4 is lifted by the elevating unit 41 of the traverser 40.

At this time, since the extension 32a of the slave lever 32 and the engagement lever 422 are not in contact with each other as shown in FIG. 4, the slave levers 32, 33 are moved by the spring force of the spring 33a of the slave lever 33. In the upright state, the half-door accident prevention lever 31 is in a state of preventing the door of the automobile from being opened.

After that, when the traverser 40 moves to the entrance / exit 11, the extension 421 a of the operation lever 421 comes into contact with the wall surface 7 a of the pit 7 and the operation lever 421 is pushed into the elevating section 41. The engagement lever 422 rotates clockwise about one end as shown in FIG. 5, and pushes up the extension 32a of the slave lever 32. As a result, the slave levers 32 and 33 are forced by the spring force of the spring 33a. To rotate clockwise against the half-door accident prevention lever 31
Descends until the car door can be opened.

Therefore, the driver can freely enter and exit the automobile for entering and exiting the automobile, so that the operation of entering and exiting the automobile can be performed smoothly.

Next, in the case of loading and unloading to the front parking device 3, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the pallet 12 is placed on the loading cage or the unloading cage of the front parking device 3. , The traverser 4 in a state where the elevating unit 41 is lowered
0 enters under the pallet 12.

Then, the extension 421 of the operation lever 421
a contacts the wall surface 7a of the pit 7, the operation lever 421 is pushed into the elevating portion 41, and the engagement lever 422 rotates clockwise around one end. At this time, the extension portion 32a of the slave lever 32 And the engagement lever 422 are not yet in contact. Therefore, the half door accident prevention lever device 30
Is in a state to prevent the opening of the car door.

Next, when the raising / lowering portion 41 of the traverser 40 rises, as shown in FIG. 6B, the engaging lever 422 comes into contact with the extending portion 32a of the slave lever 32, and the extending portion 32a
As a result, the slave levers 32 and 33 rotate clockwise against the spring force of the spring 33a, so that the half-door accident prevention lever 31 descends to a state where the door of the automobile can be opened.

[0025] Therefore, the driver can freely enter and exit the vehicle for entering and leaving the vehicle, so that entry and exit of the vehicle can be performed smoothly.

As described above, when the traverser makes a necessary movement for the entrance / exit operation in either the front parking device 3 or the rear parking device 4, the half-door accident prevention device is automatically operated and the automobile is operated. Drivers can enter and exit the vehicle freely.

In this embodiment, the extension 421a of the operation lever 421 slides and moves with respect to the wall surface 7a of the pit 7, so that the extension 421a is provided with, for example, a roller to smoothly move the extension 421a. It may be desirable to configure it to be guided.

[0028]

As described above, according to the present invention, there is no need for a drive device dedicated to the half-door accident prevention lever device, and no need for an electric circuit for control. A device can be obtained. Further, since the half-door accident prevention lever device operates in parallel with the movement of the traverser, the operation does not take much time, and the waiting time of the user can be greatly reduced accordingly.
