Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a parking device, and more specifically, it is a vertical circulation parking device, and moreover, a car and a two-wheeled vehicle such as a bicycle can be parked in one device. This invention relates to a parking device that is capable of storing the following items at the same time.

[Conventional technology]

Traditional parking devices, especially vertical circulation parking devices,
Most of them are for automobiles, but automobiles,
When there is a high demand for parking for motorbikes and bicycles,
Several motorbikes, bicycles, etc. were parked on a pallet used for storing cars.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, when parking motorcycles, bicycles, etc. on a pallet used for storing automobiles, it is difficult to store many motorcycles or bicycles on one pallet, partly because this pallet was originally manufactured for storing automobiles. Moreover, unlike a car, which enters and leaves the parking lot by itself, the user or the parking device manager moves the motorcycle or bicycle directly onto the pallet, as shown in Figure 8, for example. Not only is it dangerous because the cars are stored on a pallet facing the same direction as the pallet when they are put in and taken out of the warehouse, but since several cars are stored on one pallet, it is difficult to get them in and out of the warehouse smoothly. It was hot. FIG. 7 shows a conventional example in which automobiles are stored on pallets.

The present invention aims to solve these problems, and in particular, in places where the parking demands of cars, motorcycles, and bicycles coexist, such as parking lots of banks and tenant buildings, it is possible to safely and smoothly park them. Moreover, it is an attempt to provide a parking device that can store a large number of parking devices.

[Means for solving problems]

In a vertical circulation parking system, a pair of left and right lower sprockets and a pair of left and right upper sprockets are respectively arranged in the lower and upper parts of the building, and a master chain is stretched endlessly between these sprockets. And, for these competent chains,
An appropriate number of cages for storing automobiles and cages for storing two-wheeled vehicles such as bicycles are each suspended, and a pallet that can be raised and lowered and rotated is placed on the cages for storing automobiles, and a pallet is placed on the cage for storing two-wheeled vehicles.
A pallet with racks to prevent falls, etc. is placed on each of the pallets, and a lifting platform for transferring a two-wheeled vehicle is placed on the pit between the two-wheeled vehicle storage cage and the entrance/exit. The pallet is characterized in that it is provided with a lifting mechanism and a turning mechanism that control lifting and lowering and turning of the pallet, respectively.

[Effect]

An appropriate number of cages for storing automobiles and cages for storing two-wheeled vehicles such as bicycles are each rotatably suspended from the main chain, so when storing a car, the main chain must be rotated. Move the empty car storage cage to a position below the lower sprocket that is lined up with the entrance to the building, then activate the pallet lifting mechanism located above the pit at the bottom of the cage to raise the pallet and lift it into the cage. Separate from pallet. Next, the turning mechanism is activated to turn the pallet 90 degrees, the car is brought in and stopped at a predetermined position, the driver is removed from the car, and the turning mechanism is activated again to rotate the pallet.
At the same time, the car is rotated 90 degrees and returned to its original position, and at the same time, the lifting mechanism is activated to lower the pallet, and the cage and pallet are combined to their original state, completing the storage of the car. On the other hand, if a stored vehicle is to be removed, the above procedure is completely reversed.

On the other hand, when trying to store a two-wheeled vehicle such as a motorcycle or bicycle, the main chain is rotated in the same way as in the case of a car, and an empty or still storable two-wheeled vehicle storage cage is called. Unlike other cases, the cage is not raised, lowered or turned, but as soon as the cage is aligned with the entrance and exit, a lifting platform for transferring motorcycles placed on the pit between the cage and the entrance is raised, and then the motorcycle is brought in. The motorcycle is then stopped at a predetermined position and secured to a fall prevention rack or the like, and once the vehicle is out of the building, the motorcycle transfer platform is lowered to complete the storage of the motorcycle. Also, if you want to take out something stored in the car, just do the above procedure in complete reverse order.

After the two-wheeled vehicle transfer platform 12 disposed above is raised by operating the elevating mechanism 13, the two-wheeled vehicle 18 is carried in, stopped at a predetermined position, placed on a fall prevention rack 15, etc., and locked, and then After exiting the building 1, the two-wheeled vehicle transfer platform 12 is lowered by operating the elevating mechanism 13 to complete storage of the two-wheeled vehicle 18. When taking out these stored automobiles and two-wheeled vehicles, the above procedure is completely reversed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention suspends an appropriate number of cages exclusively for storing automobiles and cages exclusively for two-wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles on the main chain, and not only stores automobiles and two-wheeled vehicles separately, but also enables the storage of automobiles and two-wheeled vehicles separately. Unlike storing pallets in the same direction as when storing automobiles, i.e., vertically when viewed from the entrance of the building, the pallets are stored on horizontal pallets through a transfer platform, making it easy for motorcycles to enter and exit the garage. This can be done very smoothly and safely, and since a fall prevention rack is also installed on the pallet, it prevents the motorcycle from falling over and there is no need to worry about the motorcycle falling even if the main chain rotates. Therefore, various effects can be achieved, such as being able to fully utilize the functions of the parking device.
