Description

The present invention relates to apartment buildings, and in particular to apartment buildings equipped with self-propelled car elevators.

In recent years, apartment buildings have been proposed that are equipped with an entrance/exit floor where vehicles can enter and exit, residential floors where multiple dwelling units with dedicated parking are located, and a self-propelled car elevator that has an entrance/exit door that allows vehicles to enter and exit by traveling forward or backward and can transport vehicles up and down between the entrance/exit floor and the residential floors (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
In such apartment buildings, residents can drive their vehicles and board a self-propelled car elevator to transport them up and down, allowing them to move between the entrance and exit floors and the dedicated parking lots on the residential floors, and the residents of the attached buildings can enter and exit the dedicated parking lots while remaining inside the vehicles.

In the apartment complex described in Patent Document 1, the dedicated parking spaces (parking spaces 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46) are directly connected to the dwelling units (small areas 22 to 24) to which they are attached, while being separated from the other dwelling units and common areas, and are configured so that vehicles can be parked facing forward or backward directly from the entrance and exit of the car elevators (elevators 12, 14, 16).
Therefore, residents can directly access the dedicated parking area for getting on and off their vehicles from the attached dwelling unit, and can use the dedicated parking area as if it were a private space.

Patent No. 6784719 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-012097

In the apartment complex described in Patent Document 1, the platform (50) inside the car elevator is configured to be rotatable by a rotary drive mechanism (rotating mount 52 or turntable). By rotating the platform inside the car elevator while a vehicle is being transported up or down, the angle at which the vehicle departs at the residential floors can be changed, allowing residents to use a single car elevator to transport their vehicles in and out of two dedicated parking spaces attached to two adjacent residential units on each floor. However, car elevators with such built-in rotary drive mechanisms have the problem of being complex in structure and resulting in high initial and maintenance costs.

In light of this situation, the primary objective of this invention is to provide an apartment complex in which residents can use the dedicated parking spaces attached to their units on each dwelling floor as if they were private spaces, while also allowing residents to safely and easily move vehicles between the dedicated parking spaces and the entry/exit floor (entering and exiting vehicles from the dedicated parking spaces) using a single, simple, self-propelled car elevator for the two dedicated parking spaces on each dwelling floor.

The first characteristic configuration of the present invention is a car elevator comprising: an entrance/exit floor where vehicles can enter and exit; a dwelling unit floor where a plurality of dwelling units with dedicated parking attached are arranged; and a self-propelled boarding/exiting car elevator having a boarding/exiting entrance/exiting entrance that allows the vehicle to board and alight by traveling forward or backward, and capable of transporting the vehicle up and down between the entrance/exit floor and the dwelling unit floor;
The dedicated parking is directly connected to the dwelling unit to which it is attached in a state separated from the other dwelling units and common areas on the dwelling floor, and is configured so that the vehicle can be directly parked facing forward or backward by moving forward or backward from the entrance of the car elevator,
At the entrance and exit floors and the dwelling floors, the boarding and alighting entrances of the car elevator are provided on both one side and the other side in the front-rear direction of the vehicle in the boarding position,
On the dwelling floor, a first dedicated parking space is arranged adjacent to a first entrance/exit on one side of the car elevator in the longitudinal direction, and a second dedicated parking space is arranged adjacent to a second entrance/exit on the other side of the car elevator in the longitudinal direction,
The entrance/exit floor is provided with an entrance/exit roadway extending from an entrance to the building to the boarding/exiting entrance of the car elevator,
the entrance and exit floor is provided with, as boarding and alighting spaces for the car elevator, a first boarding and alighting space adjacent to the first boarding and alighting entrance of the car elevator and a second boarding and alighting space adjacent to the second boarding and alighting entrance of the car elevator;
The second boarding and disembarking space is directly connected to the entrance and exit roadway without passing through another vehicle route,
the first boarding/alighting space is not directly connected to the entrance/exit roadway, but is connected to the entrance/exit roadway via the first boarding/alighting door and elevator car of the car elevator, the second boarding/alighting door and the second boarding/alighting space;
The first boarding and disembarking space and the second boarding and disembarking space on the entrance and exit floors are each equipped with a turntable that enables the vehicle entering the car elevator to change its running direction in the forward and backward directions.

According to this configuration, on each dwelling floor, residents can directly access the private parking space that is connected to the attached dwelling unit while being partitioned from other dwelling units and common areas, so that residents can use the private parking space attached to the dwelling unit as if it were a private space.
On the residential floor, the resident can drive their vehicle forward or backward using one of the entrances in the front-to-back direction of a single self-propelled car elevator, allowing them to enter and exit the first dedicated parking space. Also, the resident can drive their vehicle forward or backward using the other entrance in the front-to-back direction of the same car elevator, allowing them to enter and exit the second dedicated parking space.

Furthermore, at the entrance and exit floors, the forward and backward running direction (forward and backward) of vehicles entering the car elevator can be changed using a turntable located in the boarding and exiting space, so by changing the running direction of the entering and exiting vehicle at the entrance and exit floors, the running direction of the vehicle when exiting the car elevator to each dedicated parking lot, the parking position when parking the vehicle in each dedicated parking lot, and the running direction of the vehicle when entering the car elevator from each dedicated parking lot can be changed at will between forward and backward on the residential floors.
Therefore, the direction of travel of the vehicle when getting on and off the car elevator on the residential floor can be changed to a direction that is easy for the resident to drive, allowing the resident to safely and easily use the car elevator to enter and exit each dedicated parking lot.In addition, the parking position in each dedicated parking lot can be changed to the position preferred by the resident, allowing the resident to view the vehicle in the position preferred from the residential unit or dedicated parking lot.

As a result, it is possible to provide an apartment complex where residents can use the dedicated parking spaces attached to their units on each floor as if they were private spaces, while also allowing them to safely and easily move vehicles between the dedicated parking spaces and the entry/exit floor (entering and exiting vehicles from the dedicated parking spaces) using a simple, single, self-propelled car elevator with front and rear entrances for the two dedicated parking spaces on each floor.

A second characteristic feature of the present invention is that, on the dwelling floor, the attached dwelling units are located on the opposite side of the car elevator in the first and second dedicated parking areas.

With this configuration, two dwelling units, two private parking spaces, and a car elevator can be arranged in a compact manner across the width of the vehicle by lining them up along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle entering the car elevator. Therefore, for example, on a dwelling floor, common areas can be concentrated toward the center, while two dwelling units, two private parking spaces, and a car elevator can be arranged on the periphery without protruding too much toward the center. By arranging them in this way, a center-core apartment building can be ideally constructed, with dwelling units with attached private parking spaces and a car elevator.

A third characteristic configuration of the present invention is that a dwelling unit side partition wall is provided between the dedicated parking lot and the living room of the attached dwelling unit,
The partition wall on the dwelling unit side is provided with an entrance/exit section that allows people to pass between the private parking area and the living room, and a visible section that allows vehicles parked in the private parking area to be seen from the living room.

According to this configuration, the entrance and exit area with the dwelling unit-side partition wall and the visible area connect the private parking lot and the living room of the dwelling unit both in terms of traffic flow and visually, thereby enhancing the sense of unity between the private parking lot and the living room of the dwelling unit, and allowing the parked vehicles to be viewed from the living room of the dwelling unit.
A fourth characteristic feature of the present invention is that the first boarding and alighting space is partitioned from other parts of the entrance and exit floor by a wall of the building and an elevator partition wall of the car elevator.

A diagram showing an example of how to enter the X2-side exclusive parking lot. A diagram showing an example of how to exit from the X2-side exclusive parking lot. A diagram showing an example of how to enter the X1 side exclusive parking lot. A diagram showing an example of how to exit from the X1 side exclusive parking lot.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Figure 1 shows the plan configuration of the main parts of the apartment building according to the present invention, where Figure 1(b) shows the entrance/exit floor EF located on a floor leading to an adjacent road, and Figure 1(a) shows the dwelling floor RF located on the floor above the entrance/exit floor EF. The dwelling floor RF may also be located on a floor below the entrance/exit floor EF.

As shown in Figures 1(a) and (b), this apartment building is configured as a mid- to high-rise building with a single-level entrance/exit floor EF, where an entrance/exit gate (not shown) is located to allow entry and exit of vehicle C (see Figure 2), and multiple residential floors RF, where multiple dwelling units 1 are located. This apartment building is also configured as a center-core building, with a core section 2 located in the center of the building, which contains the main common areas (not shown), such as elevators, stairs, and a multi-story parking garage (tower parking), and multiple dwelling units 1 are located on the inner and outer periphery of the building.

The building of this apartment complex is provided with a self-propelled car elevator (car lift) 3 on the inner and outer periphery, which has an entrance/exit 34 through which a vehicle C can enter and exit by traveling forward or backward, and which can transport the vehicle C up and down between the entrance/exit floors EF and the dwelling floors RF. As shown in Figure 1(a) , the building is provided with a plurality of specific dwelling units 1S (corresponding to dwelling units with dedicated parking) attached as part of the many dwelling units 1 arranged on that floor, each of which has a dedicated parking 11 attached and which can be used for entry and exit using the car elevator 3.
Below, the configuration of each part of this apartment building will be described in detail, with the front-to-back direction (left-to-right direction in Figures 1 to 5) of the vehicle C (see Figure 2) in the loading position entering the car elevator 3 being defined as the X direction, and the width direction (up-down direction in Figure 1) of the vehicle C in the loading position being defined as the Y direction.

(Car elevator)
As shown in Figures 1(a) and (b), the car elevator 3 is configured with an elevator shaft 31 that is partitioned by elevator partition walls 35 and extends between the entrance and exit floors EF and multiple residential floors RF, an elevator car 32 that is installed within the elevator shaft 31 so that it can move up and down freely, a drive device (not shown) that moves the elevator car 32 up and down within the elevator shaft 31, entrance and exit doors 34 with automatic doors that are installed at the boundaries between the floors and the elevator shaft 31 at the entrance and exit floors EF and residential floors RF, and a control device that controls the operation of each part of the car elevator 3, etc.

In this embodiment, the car elevator 3 is located in the center (center in the X direction) of the outer edge region R adjacent to one of the outer edges (the lower outer edge in the figure) on the inner and outer periphery of the building. The car elevator 3 also has two entrances 34: an X1-side entrance 34A (corresponding to the first entrance) on one side in the X direction (the X1 side, left side in the figure), and an X2-side entrance 34B (corresponding to the second entrance) on the other side in the X direction (the X2 side, right side in the figure). The car elevator 3 can be used from both the X1-side region and the X2-side region R, with the car elevator 3 as the base, in the outer edge region R of the entry/exit floors EF and residential floors RF.

(Entrance and exit floor)
As shown in Figure 1 (b), the entrance/exit floor EF is provided with an entrance/exit roadway 6 that connects the entrance/exit into the building and the boarding/alighting entrance 34 of the car elevator 3. In addition, the entrance/exit floor EF is provided with, as boarding/alighting spaces 5 for the car elevator 3, an X1-side boarding/alighting space 5A (corresponding to a first boarding/alighting space) adjacent to the X1-side boarding/alighting entrance 34A of the car elevator 3, and an X2-side boarding/alighting space 5B (corresponding to a second boarding/alighting space) adjacent to the X2-side boarding/alighting entrance 34B of the car elevator 3.

The X2 side boarding/alighting space 5B is directly connected to the entrance/exit roadway 6 without passing through any other vehicle route. Therefore, vehicle C can travel in both directions between the X2 side boarding/alighting space 5B and the entrance/exit by traveling along the entrance/exit roadway 6.

On the other hand, the X1-side boarding/alighting space 5A is separated from other parts of the entrance/exit floor EF by walls 51 such as partition walls and exterior walls and the elevator partition wall 35 of the car elevator 3, and is connected to the entrance/exit carriageway 6 via the X1-side boarding/alighting entrance 34A, elevator car 32, X2-side boarding/alighting entrance 34B, and X2-side boarding/alighting space 5B of the car elevator 3. Therefore, the vehicle C can travel (pass) inside the car elevator 3 through the X1-side boarding/alighting entrance 34A, elevator car 32, and X2-side boarding/alighting entrance 34B, and can also travel through the X2-side boarding/alighting space 5B and the entrance/exit carriageway 6, thereby moving in both directions between the X1-side boarding/alighting space 5A and the entrance/exit.
In addition, on the entrance/exit floor EF, a passage 52 is defined between the car elevator 3 and the exterior wall, allowing people to pass between the X1 side boarding/disembarking space 5A and the X2 side boarding/disembarking space 5B.

The X1 side boarding/alighting space 5A and the X2 side boarding/alighting space 5B are each provided with an X1 side turntable 7A (corresponding to the first turntable) and an X2 side turntable 7B (corresponding to the second turntable) as turntables 7 that enable the fore-and-aft running direction of a vehicle C entering or leaving the car elevator 3 to be changed. Each turntable 7A, 7B is embedded in the floor in a state that allows it to rotate freely using a drive unit, and by rotating with a vehicle C placed on top, the running direction of a vehicle C entering or leaving the car elevator 3 can be changed in the fore-and-aft running direction.

(Floor)
As shown in Figure 1(a), on the inner and outer periphery of the building on each dwelling floor RF, a number of dwelling units 1 are arranged, including a plurality of general dwelling units 1N that do not have dedicated parking 11, and a plurality of specific dwelling units 1S that do have dedicated parking 11. In the illustrated example, the specific dwelling units 1S on each dwelling floor RF include an X1-side specific dwelling unit 1A that is located on the X1 side of the car elevator 3 in the outer edge side area R, and an X2-side specific dwelling unit 1B that is located on the X2 side of the car elevator 3 in the outer edge side area R.

The X1-side dedicated parking area 11A (corresponding to the first dedicated parking area) attached to the X1-side specific dwelling unit 1A is located between the living room L of the X1-side specific dwelling unit 1A and the X1-side entrance/exit 34A of the car elevator 3, adjacent to both the living room L of the X1-side specific dwelling unit 1A and the X1-side entrance/exit 34A of the car elevator 3. In other words, on the dwelling floor RF, the attached X1-side specific dwelling unit 1A is located on the opposite side of the X1-side dedicated parking area 11A from the car elevator 3 side.

In addition, the X2-side dedicated parking lot 11B (corresponding to a second dedicated parking lot) attached to the X2-side specific dwelling unit 1B is located between the living room L of the X2-side specific dwelling unit 1B and the X2-side entrance/exit 34B of the car elevator 3, adjacent to both the living room L of the X2-side specific dwelling unit 1B and the X2-side entrance/exit 34B of the car elevator 3. In other words, the attached X2-side specific dwelling unit 1B is located on the opposite side of the X2-side dedicated parking lot 11B from the car elevator 3.

Next, we will explain the specific configuration of the designated dwelling unit 1S and the dedicated parking lot 11. However, since the X2-side designated dwelling unit 1B and the X2-side dedicated parking lot 11B are arranged and configured symmetrically to the X1-side designated dwelling unit 1A and the X1-side dedicated parking lot 11A in relation to the car elevator 3, we will mainly explain the X1-side designated dwelling unit 1A and the X1-side dedicated parking lot 11A, and will omit an explanation of the X2-side designated dwelling unit 1B and the X2-side dedicated parking lot 11B.

The X1-side exclusive parking area 11A is defined by a first partition wall 12 (corresponding to the dwelling unit-side partition wall) extending in the Y direction between it and the living room L of the X1-side specific dwelling unit 1A, a second partition wall 13 (corresponding to the common area-side partition wall) extending in the X direction between it and the entrance of the X1-side specific dwelling unit 1A and the common area such as the common corridor, a first elevator partition wall portion 35A extending in the Y direction and having the X1-side entrance/exit 34A of the elevator partition wall 35 surrounding the car elevator 3, and an exterior wall 14 extending in the X direction between it and the outdoors.

The first partition wall 12 is provided with a dedicated entrance/exit section 17 (corresponding to an entrance/exit section) with a door that allows people to pass between the X1-side dedicated parking area 11A and the living room L. This dedicated entrance/exit section 17 allows people to pass between the X1-side dedicated parking area 11A and the X1-side specific dwelling unit 1A only on the dwelling floor RF, and is directly connected to the X1-side specific dwelling unit 1A while being partitioned from the other dwelling units 1 and common areas. This ensures the security of the X1-side dedicated parking area 11A, allowing residents of the X1-side specific dwelling unit 1A to use the X1-side dedicated parking area 11A as if it were a private space.

In the illustrated example, an X1 side entrance/exit 34A is provided on one side in the Y direction (Y1 side, upper side in the figure) of the first elevator compartment wall portion 35A, and corresponding to the position of this X1 side entrance/exit 34A, a parking space 15 for one vehicle is provided in the Y1 side area opposite the X1 side entrance/exit 34A within the X1 side dedicated parking 11A, where a vehicle C can be parked facing forward or backward when traveling forward or backward from the X1 side entrance/exit 34A without using a turning lane.

Furthermore, corresponding to the position of the parking space 15, a visible portion 16 is provided in the Y1-side area of the first partition wall 12 facing the parking space 15, allowing a vehicle C parked in the X1-side dedicated parking area 11A to be seen from the living room L. This visible portion 16 can be configured, for example, as a glass window with transparent glass panes 16a. In this embodiment, it is configured as a double-pane window with two (one example of multiple) glass panes 16a spaced apart in the thickness direction (X direction) as a soundproofing measure. In the illustrated example, a reinforcing plate 16b is provided between the two glass panes 16a.

The area of the first partition wall 12 on the Y2 side that does not face the parking space 15 is provided with the aforementioned dedicated entrance/exit section 17. This dedicated entrance/exit section 17 is provided separately from the main entrance/exit section 18 (front door) with a door that allows people to pass between the X1 side specific dwelling unit 1A and the shared corridor that serves as a shared area.

In this way, by providing a dedicated entrance/exit section 17 and a visible section 16 in the first partition wall 12 between the X1-side dedicated parking area 11A and the living room L of the X1-side specific dwelling unit 1A, it is possible to connect the X1-side dedicated parking area 11A and the living room L of the X1-side specific dwelling unit 1A both in terms of pedestrian flow and visually. This enhances the sense of unity between the X1-side dedicated parking area 11A and the living room L of the X1-side specific dwelling unit 1A, and allows people to view the vehicle C parked in the X1-side dedicated parking area 11A from the living room L of the X1-side specific dwelling unit 1A.

On the residential floor RF, soundproofing measures such as thicker walls and thicker sound-absorbing layers are implemented on the first and second partition walls 12 and 13 around each dedicated parking space 11, the elevator partition walls 35 around the car elevator 3, and the automatic doors at the entrance and exit 34. Furthermore, vibration countermeasures such as floating floors are implemented on the floors of each dedicated parking space 11. This prevents the livability of the residential floor RF from being reduced by the engine noise, operating noise, and vibrations of vehicles C entering and leaving each dedicated parking space 11, and the operating noise of the car elevator 3. Furthermore, on the residential floor RF, a machine room 8 is defined between the car elevator 3 and the exterior wall, where equipment for air conditioning and ventilation of each dedicated parking space 11 is installed, and the above-mentioned soundproofing measures are also implemented around this machine room 8.

Furthermore, each dedicated parking lot 11 can be equipped with a dedicated outlet for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), electric vehicles (EVs), etc. as electrical equipment for the associated specific dwelling unit 1S. This enables power interchange between the plug-in hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, etc. and the specific dwelling unit 1S via the dedicated outlet, a process known as "V2H (Vehicle to Home)," making it possible to use the batteries of the plug-in hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, etc. as part of the electrical equipment for the specific dwelling unit 1S.

Next, we will explain the method of entering and exiting the private parking lot 11 in an apartment complex configured as described above. Although we will not go into detail here, the operation of the car elevator 3, such as raising and lowering the elevator car 32 and opening and closing each entrance/exit door 34, and the operation of the turntable 7, are performed by the resident using an operating unit such as a remote control or control panel. Furthermore, to ensure security, operation of the car elevator 3 by a resident of a specific dwelling unit 1S is limited to following the entry and exit route of the private parking lot 11 for the specific dwelling unit 1S in which the resident resides.

(An example of how to enter and exit the X2-side parking lot)
An example of a method for entering and exiting the X2-side exclusive parking lot 11B will be described with reference to Figures 2 and 3. This example shows a case where a vehicle C enters the elevator car 32 of the car elevator 3 while traveling forward, and exits the car elevator 3 from the X2-side entrance 34B while traveling backward.

When a resident of X2-side specific dwelling unit 1B returns home from an outing in vehicle C and parks vehicle C in X2-side dedicated parking lot 11B, for example, as shown in Figure 2(a), the resident drives vehicle C through the entrance/exit gate from the adjacent road to entrance/exit floor EF, drives forward through entrance/exit roadway 6 and X2-side boarding/alighting space 5B, and then continues driving forward to enter elevator car 32 from X2-side entrance/alighting gate 34B of car elevator 3. Then, elevator car 32 is raised to the resident's dwelling floor RF.

As shown in Figure 2(b), when the elevator car 32 arrives at the dwelling floor RF and the X2 side entrance/exit 34B opens, the vehicle C is driven in reverse to exit the car elevator 3 through the X2 side entrance/exit 34B, and is parked in a backward position with the rear of the vehicle facing the living room L of the X2 side specific dwelling unit 1B in the parking space 15 of the X2 side dedicated parking 11B.

When a resident of the X2-side specific dwelling unit 1B leaves the X2-side dedicated parking lot 11B, for example, as shown in Figure 3(a), the resident drives the vehicle C forward from the parking space 15 in the X2-side dedicated parking lot 11B, and then enters the elevator car 32 through the X2-side entrance/exit 34B of the car elevator 3 while continuing to drive forward. The elevator car 32 is then lowered to the entry/exit floor EF.

As shown in Figure 3(b), when the elevator car 32 arrives at the entrance/exit floor EF and the X2 side entrance/exit door 34B opens, vehicle C is operated in reverse and exits from the X2 side entrance/exit door 34B of the car elevator 3 into the X2 side entrance/exit space 5B, and vehicle C is stopped in a position where it is placed on the top surface of the X2 side turntable 7B. Then, using the X2 side turntable 7B, vehicle C is turned so that its front is facing the entrance/exit roadway 6, and after turning, vehicle C is driven forward and exits through the entrance/exit roadway 6 and the entrance/exit doorway to exit from entrance/exit floor EF.

When vehicle C is parked in the X2-side dedicated parking lot 11B, the X1-side turntable 7A or the X2-side turntable 7B can be used to change direction at the entry/exit floor EF, thereby changing the forward/backward running direction of vehicle C entering the elevator car 32 of the car elevator 3 to the opposite direction from that described above. In this way, when vehicle C arrives at the dwelling floor RF, it can be driven forward to exit the X2-side entrance/exit 34B of the car elevator 3, and parked in a forward-facing position in the parking space 15 of the X2-side dedicated parking lot 11B, with the front of the vehicle facing the living room L of the X2-side specific dwelling unit 1B.

(An example of how to enter and exit the X1 side exclusive parking)
An example of a method for entering and exiting the X1-side exclusive parking lot 11A will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. This example shows a case where a vehicle C enters the elevator car 32 of the car elevator 3 while traveling forward, and exits the car elevator 3 from the X1-side entrance/exit 34A while traveling backward.

When a resident of the X1-side specified dwelling unit 1A returns home from an outing in vehicle C and parks vehicle C in the X1-side dedicated parking lot 11A, for example, as shown in Figure 4(a), vehicle C enters the entrance/exit floor EF from the adjacent road through the entrance/exit gate, travels forward through the entrance/exit driveway 6, the X2-side boarding/exit space 5B, and the inside of the car elevator 3, and stops vehicle C in the X1-side boarding/exit space 5A at a position where it is resting on the top surface of the X1-side turntable 7A.

Then, as shown in Figure 4(b), the X1 side turntable 7A is used to change direction so that the front of the vehicle faces the X1 side entrance/exit 34A of the car elevator 3, and after changing direction, the passenger travels forward and boards the elevator car 32 from the X1 side entrance/exit 34A of the car elevator 3. The passenger then raises the elevator car 32 to the residential floor RF where the passenger resides.

As shown in Figure 4(c), when the elevator car 32 arrives at the dwelling floor RF and the X1 side entrance 34A opens, the vehicle C is driven in reverse to exit the car elevator 3 through the X1 side entrance 34A, and parked facing backward in the living room L of the X1 side specific dwelling unit 1A in the parking space 15 of the X1 side dedicated parking 11A.

When a resident of the X1-side specific dwelling unit 1A leaves the X1-side dedicated parking lot 11A, for example, as shown in Figure 5(a), the resident drives the vehicle C forward from the parking space 15 in the X1-side dedicated parking lot 11A, and then enters the elevator car 32 through the X1-side entrance/exit 34A of the car elevator 3 while continuing to drive forward. The elevator car 32 is then lowered to the entry/exit floor EF.

As shown in Figure 5(b), when the elevator car 32 arrives at the entrance/exit floor EF and the X2 side entrance/exit 34B opens, the car C is driven forward to exit the car elevator 3 from the X2 side entrance/exit 34B into the X2 side entrance/exit space 5B, and then continues to drive forward through the entrance/exit roadway 6 and the entrance/exit to exit the entrance/exit floor EF.

When vehicle C is parked in the X1-side dedicated parking area 11A, the X2-side turntable 7B is not used at the entry/exit floor EF, so the forward/backward running direction of vehicle C entering the elevator car 32 of the car elevator 3 can be changed to the opposite direction from that described above. In this way, when vehicle C arrives at the residential floor RF, it can be driven forward to exit the X1-side entrance/exit 34A of the car elevator 3 and parked facing forward in the parking space 15 in the X1-side dedicated parking area 11A.
