Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a multi-story parking system in which a large number of automobiles can be stored in a multi-tiered manner in a small site area and the storage and unloading of the automobiles can be carried out quickly.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various types of parking facilities have been provided so far, especially in a densely populated area, from the viewpoint of effective use of land, frequency of use, etc., it can be made into a three-dimensional structure with a small area. It is required to accommodate as many cars as possible.

For example, there is a self-propelled type in which a parking space is constructed in a multi-tiered structure, lamps are used continuously between the floors, and each car is self-propelled and stored in each parking space. Also, as a mechanical type, a vertical circulation system that circulates a suspended carrier (parking pallet for mounting a car) like a merry-go-round, the carrier traverses to a parking room (fixed parking space) as it moves up and down,
Elevator slide method for storing cars in each parking room, multi-tiered method for moving up and down by moving a carrier like a puzzle (square puzzle), raising and lowering a carrier and parking another car in an empty space Two-stage type and others are provided.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the conventional self-propelled type not only requires that the lamp for the self-propelled space be always open, but also that the site area is vast. Therefore, it is often difficult to secure the site area.

Further, the mechanical type can effectively utilize a relatively small site, but on the other hand, it requires not only management and maintenance but also a power source is inevitably incorporated, which causes noise. Installation in densely populated areas is problematic.

Further, the vertical circulation type, for example, requires a large-capacity power source capable of sufficiently supporting the weight of the entire stored vehicle. In the elevator slide type, since the carrier is moved from the loading / unloading position to the parking room position and stopped at that parking room position, it is necessary to move the empty carrier to the loading position in advance and wait for it to enter. There is a waste of time. In addition, in the multi-stage type, in order to move and wait the required carrier at the loading / unloading position, it is necessary to raise / lower and move other carriers correspondingly. Since it is done like a puzzle, its control is troublesome, and much power is wasted. The two-stage type can be installed very easily in three dimensions, but when loading and unloading a car stored in the upper position,
It is inconvenient to handle because it is necessary to carry out the car in the lower position each time.

Further, there is also one in which a fork that moves forwards and backwards is incorporated in a pallet that moves up and down by an elevator mechanism, and a car on the pallet is sent to each parking rack by a fork. However, according to this, not only is the fork forward / backward means for transferring cars between the pallet and the parking rack extremely complicated, but the elevator can only be lifted up / down after the fork is retracted and returned from the parking rack. Therefore, it requires a waiting time for advancing and retreating forks and round trips, which makes it difficult to move in and out quickly.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the existing circumstances as described above, and raises and lowers the elevating shelves in a high-rise tower type parking building constructed by arranging parking shelves in multiple stages. As a method of moving in one direction to each parking rack when storing and storing and in one direction to moving up and down when moving out and storing, the time required for loading and unloading can be greatly shortened, and the power source required for transfer is It is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-story parking system that can be small in size, operates with a simple and reliable mechanism, and can store an extremely large number of vehicles even with a small site area.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 is a tower-type parking building for storing a car C in multiple stages. In the parking building 1 of FIG. 2, a plurality of parking shelves 2 are arranged in a multi-tiered manner at predetermined height intervals on both sides as viewed from the front, and a hoistway 3 for vertically moving and carrying a car C to be loaded and unloaded is sectioned and formed in the center. (See FIG. 1). This parking rack 2 is a car C
Is substantially rectangular in shape and is long enough to be stored along the front and rear of the parking building 1. Of course, the parking shelf 2 may be provided on only one side of the parking building 1 and is appropriately selected according to the shape of the site to be installed.

In the parking building 1, an elevating mechanism 10 for elevating an elevating shelf 5 carrying a stored vehicle C in a hoistway 3 and an automobile C mounted on the elevating shelf 5 are placed at predetermined positions. The transfer mechanism 20 for transferring and storing the stored vehicle C to the parking shelf 2 and transferring the stored car C from the parking shelf 2 to the elevating shelf 5 and positioning the elevating shelf 5 on the parking shelf 2 at a predetermined storage position. The control means 30 for stopping is provided.

As shown in FIG. 2, the elevating shelf 5 is a flat surface large enough to mount one automobile C, and is formed so that a substantially rectangular mounting base 6 elongated in the front-rear direction can be suspended. As shown in the drawing, above the mounting base 6, the suspension frame 7 framed in a substantially inverted L-shape on the side surface is integrally connected to the mounting base 6 at a height interval of the automobile C. In addition, the elevating shelf 5 itself can be suspended and supported by a suspension member 8 such as a wire that is appropriately connected to the upper surface of the suspension frame 7.

Since the elevating shelf 5 has no support members or the like on both sides of the front part thereof, it is easy to drive the vehicle C which enters the loading base 6 to enter and retracts from the loading base 6 to exit. There is an advantage to

The elevating mechanism 10 is formed, for example, by winding the suspending member 8 around an elevating drum 11 arranged in the upper part of the parking building 1, and winding the suspending member 8 around the elevating drum 11 rotated by the drive of the elevating motor 12. Alternatively, by rewinding, the elevating shelf 5 with which the lower ends of the suspension members 8 are linked is moved up and down (see FIG. 1).

Further, the transfer mechanism 20 is constructed over the elevator rack 5 and the parking rack 2, and the elevator rack 5 and the parking rack 2 are provided in a partition portion corresponding to the front and rear wheel positions of the automobile C. A plurality of transverse conveyor strips 23 that can be abutted and separated from each other are arranged in the front and rear, respectively, so that these transverse conveyor strips 23 can be rotated while maintaining a horizontal state, synchronously and integrally.
The vehicle C is moved in the lateral direction by alternately moving up and down and forward and backward in the front and rear, and is transferred between the elevating shelf 5 and the parking shelf 2.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the transfer mechanism 20 includes a vehicle C mounted on the elevator shelf 5,
Corresponding to the wheel positions common to each of the automobiles C stored on the parking rack 2, a plurality of conveyors are supported along the lateral direction of the mounting base 6 and the parking rack 2 along the lateral direction thereof. Through the shaft 21 and the eccentric disc 22 fixed to the conveyor shaft 21 with the eccentric direction sequentially changed at appropriate intervals along the front and rear of the conveyor shaft 21, the mounting base 6 and the parking shelves 2 are provided in the lateral direction thereof. When a plurality of transverse conveyor pieces 23, which are arranged and supported by a conveyor shaft 21 and whose upper edges are set to be substantially horizontal, and the elevating shelf 5 and the parking shelf 2 are aligned in abutting contact with each other, ascend and descend. A drive source for driving either the contact matching means 24 for matching the end edges of the transverse conveyor pieces 23 on the shelf 5 side or the parking shelf 2 side in a butt shape, and the conveyor shaft 21 to which the eccentric disc 22 is fixed. And 27.

Further, the transfer mechanism 20 is arranged in the divided sections of the elevator rack 5 and the parking rack 2 so that the front wheels and the rear wheels of the vehicle C are mounted and stored, respectively. The vehicle C is formed symmetrically at the front and rear parts of the lifting rack 5 and the parking rack 2, and the front wheel side and the rear wheel side operate synchronously and move in parallel while being mounted and stored. (See FIG. 3). It should be noted that the front and rear wheels are placed on the placement partition portion having a width of, for example, about 750 mm along the front-rear direction, and the eccentric disc 22 and the transverse conveyor piece 23 are integrated into this placement partition portion. A conveyor shaft 21 configured in a shape is supported.

The conveyor shafts 21 are arranged, for example, in a pair on the left and right sides of the compartments on the front wheel side and the rear wheel side of the elevating shelf 5 and the parking shelf 2, respectively.
The main body itself is rotatably supported via bearings fixed to the respective bodies.

The eccentric disc 22 is arranged in the axial direction of the conveyor shaft 21,
That is, the eccentric angles are sequentially changed along the front-rear direction of the elevating shelf 5 and the parking shelf 2 at different intervals, and the eccentric angles are fixed to the conveyor shaft 21. As shown in FIGS. In the existing conveyor shaft 21, the eccentric discs 22 located at the same position in the axial direction have the same eccentric angle. Then, the eccentric direction is shifted while the position is sequentially eccentrically rotated in the axial direction, and in the illustrated example, the eccentric rotation is sequentially performed at intervals of 60 degrees in the axial direction. One set is formed by the conveyor pieces 23, and a plurality of sets are arranged (see FIG. 7).

That is, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, for example, before the operation, the transverse conveyor piece 23A located at the uppermost position by the eccentric disc 22A set in the upward eccentric direction.
Adjacent to this, the transverse conveyor piece 23B located at a slightly lower position by the eccentric disc 22B set at the eccentric position rotated 60 degrees in the counterclockwise direction, and further adjoined, and rotated 60 degrees in the same direction. The eccentric disc 22C set to the eccentric position makes the traverse conveyor piece 23C in a lower position, and the eccentric disc 22D set to the eccentric position rotated by 60 degrees in the same direction is also placed at the lowest position. The traverse conveyor piece 23D, then, in the same manner, the traverse conveyor piece 23E set to a slightly higher position by the eccentric board 22E, and the traverse conveyor piece 23F further raised by the eccentric board 22F, and then the eccentric board 22A. Let it be the transverse conveyor piece 23A at the upper level. In this way, while sequentially adjoining, changing the eccentric direction at the same angle in the same direction, the height position of the upper edge of the transverse conveyor piece 23 is made different, and arranged in a plurality of rows on the same conveyor shaft 21. It is a thing. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when the conveyor shaft 21 is rotated, a plurality of transverse conveyor pieces 23A, 23B ... Which are sequentially eccentric in the axial direction of the conveyor shaft 21 are sequentially moved up and down, Further, the traverse conveyor pieces 23A, 2A that are moved forward and backward to rise upward in an alternating manner and also move forward sequentially at the upper position, and these are repeatedly raised and raised one after another to move forward.
3B ... The upper edge shifts the car C laterally via the wheels.

Naturally, the deviation of the eccentric angle is not limited to 60 degrees, and an appropriate angle can be selected. Only the number of transverse conveyor pieces 23 forming one set,
It is appropriately selected depending on the support interval between the transverse conveyor pieces 23 when supporting the wheels, the transfer speed during the transverse movement, and other circumstances. Further, the deviation of the eccentric angle of the eccentric disc 22 does not require that those adjacent to each other in the axial direction of the conveyor shaft 21 are regularly eccentric, and those in the same row in the advancing / retreating direction are eccentric in the same state. No regularity is required for the deviation.

The traverse conveyor piece 23 itself is formed in the shape of a strip plate having a predetermined thickness, and when it is integrated with the conveyor shaft 21 together with the eccentric disc 22, they are adjacent to each other in the axial direction of the conveyor shaft 21. Is about 10 mm, and when the front wheels and the rear wheels of the automobile C to be mounted and stored are in contact with each other, most of the upper edges of the transverse conveyor piece 23 are the front wheels,
Try to support the rear wheels. Although only a few transverse conveyor pieces 23 are shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 for the sake of clarity in the drawings, in actuality, about 20 to 50 transverse conveyor pieces 23 are arranged. . In any case, the eccentric traverse conveyor pieces 23 operate in the same manner in each of the plurality of arranged sets, so that the plurality of traverse conveyor pieces 23 of the same manner in each arrangement set are arranged at predetermined intervals in the automobile. C is placed and is supported by the transfer surface (see FIG. 7).

The horizontal conveyor piece 23 on the elevating shelf 5 side and the transverse conveyor piece 23 on the parking shelf 2 side are positioned so that they correspond to each other when the elevating shelf 5 and the parking shelf 2 contact each other. The number of sheets is the same, and the contact matching means 24 match each other.

The contact matching means 24 has a predetermined function so that the lifted shelves 5 loaded with the stored cars C have reached the predetermined parking rack 2 position to be stored or the stored cars C have to be unloaded. When the elevating shelf 5 to be lifted reaches the parking shelf 2 position, when the elevating shelf 5 is moved left and right so as to be associated with the parking shelf 2 and abuttingly aligned with the entrance of the parking shelf 2, The end edges of the respective transverse conveyor pieces 23 are abutted against each other.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the transverse conveyor piece 23 in the elevating shelf 5 is formed in the projecting joint portion 25 in which the left and right edges are substantially mountain-shaped. The entrance side edge is a projecting joint 25
It is formed in the concave joint portion 26 having a hollow shape corresponding to the shape. When these projecting joints 25 and concave joints 26 are joined together, the transverse conveyor piece 23 on the elevating shelf 5 side and the transverse conveyor piece 23 on the parking shelf 2 side will operate integrally. When either one is driven, the other is driven (see FIG. 6). When the transverse conveyor piece 23 on the elevating shelf 5 side and the transverse conveyor piece 23 on the parking shelf 2 side are integrated, each transverse conveyor piece 2
In addition to the fact that the eccentric positions of the eccentric boards 22 on the conveyor shaft 21 supporting 3 are the same, the conveyor shaft 21 on either the lifting shelf 5 side or the parking shelf 2 side operates to move up and down. The transverse conveyor pieces 23 on the shelves 5 side and the parking shelves 2 side operate in unison with each other in a state of abutting contact with each other, and drive the conveyor shafts 21 on the lifting shelves 5 side and the parking shelves 2 side respectively. There is no need for direct synchronization by source 27.

Since both end edges of the transverse conveyor piece 23 in the elevating shelf 5 are formed into the chevron-shaped protruding joint portions 25,
When the elevating shelf 5 is moved up and down, for example, the left and right parking shelves 2
There is an advantage in avoiding this and smoothing up and down even if it collides with.

When the elevating shelf 5 is adjacent to the parking shelf 2, the transverse conveyor pieces 23 are continuously integrated with each other without a gap. If necessary, the adjacent integration is omitted. It can also be ensured by a secure locking means.

The drive source 27 synchronously operates the transverse conveyor pieces 23 on the elevator shelf 5 side and the parking shelf 2 side, which are joined to each other by the abutment matching means 24. It suffices to drive it in the forward and reverse directions. That is, as in the illustrated example, at least one of the left and right conveyor shafts 21 in the lifting shelf 5 that moves up and down.
It is a motor for driving, and is configured by integrating one of the conveyor shafts 21 with a drive shaft 28 driven via a transmission means such as a belt, a chain, a gear, and the like.

As described above, by arranging the drive source 27 additionally on the elevating shelf 5, it is not necessary to dispose the drive source 27 on each of the parking shelves 2, and there is an advantage that the mechanism can be simplified.

As shown in the figure, the transverse conveyor piece 2
By forming a positioning recess 29 corresponding to the wheel position of the automobile C to be stopped after being mounted and stored on the upper edge of 3, the stopped automobile C can be reliably held, There is an advantage that the rattling of the automobile C during storage can be prevented.

On the other hand, as shown in the figure, the control means 30 is laid along the vertical direction on the back part of the hoistway 3 in the parking building 1, and the guide wheel 9 provided on the back part of the elevating shelf 5 travels. It is composed of a rail 31 and a branch rail 32 that branches from the guide rail 31 via the switching unit 33 corresponding to the respective positions of the parking shelves 2 (see FIG. 1).

In the control means 30, for example, the branch rail 32 corresponding to the parking rack 2 at the designated position is controlled by the storage panel or the designated control of the delivery position in the control panel 34 attached to the front of the entrance of the parking building 1 or the like. Is the switching unit 3
3 forms a guide path branched from the guide rail 31. The operation of the switching unit 33 is
It is controlled by a sensor or the like which operates in association with designated control of the storage position, raising / lowering of the elevating shelf 5, detection of passage, and the like.

That is, until the parking rack 2 position designated for storage or exit is moved up and down along the guide rail 31, the branch rail 32 position corresponding to the designated parking rack 2 position is reached. The switching unit 33 operates to move from the guide rail 31 through the branch rail 32 to the lifting shelf 5
Is moved to the right or left, and the end of the elevating shelf 5 on the side of the mounting base 6 is abutted against the entrance of the predetermined parking shelf 2.

It should be noted that, when the elevating shelf 5 is moved laterally away from the guide rail 31 so as to be brought into abutment with the parking shelf 2 at a predetermined position, the ascending / descending speed is gradually reduced so that the elevating shelf 5 contacts the parking shelf 2. It is controlled so that the elevation and the lateral shift are stopped at the time of butting. Further, after confirming this stop, the drive source 27 in the transfer mechanism 20 is rotationally driven, for example, in the forward direction, and the transverse conveyor piece 23 is moved.
The car C is to be transferred.

Next, an example of use of the device of the present invention will be described. A car C to be put in enters the parking building 1 from the front of the parking building 1 and goes up and down at the lowest end of the hoistway 3. It is mounted on the shelf 5, and its front wheels and rear wheels are each a transfer mechanism 2.
Position it above 0.

At this time, when the position of the parking shelf 2 to be stored is set by operating the control panel 34, the elevating mechanism 10 operates to elevate the elevating shelf 5 and bring it to the parking shelf 2 at a predetermined position. The branch rail 32 branched from the guide rail 31 gradually reduces the shifting speed while shifting the elevating shelf 5 laterally. With this shift to the side, the side edge of the mounting base 6 of the lifting shelf 5 is abuttingly aligned with the entrance of the parking shelf 2, and the end edge of the traverse conveyor piece 23 on the lifting shelf 5 side traverses the parking shelf 2 side. The abutment matching means 24 abuts the inlet side edge of the conveyor piece 23 (see FIG. 3).

When the horizontal conveyor pieces 23 of the elevating shelf 5 and the parking shelf 2 are abutted against each other and it is confirmed that the elevating shelf 5 is stopped, the drive source 27 of the transfer mechanism 20 is driven to rotate in the opposite direction, for example. Then, the conveyor shaft 21 is rotated via the drive shaft 28. Along with this rotation operation, a plurality of transverse conveyor pieces 23, which are integrated via the eccentric disc 22 and are sequentially eccentric in the axial direction of the conveyor shaft 21, are sequentially moved up and down and moved forward and backward. (See Figure 6). Then, when the upper edges of the transverse conveyor pieces 23 are sequentially raised in an alternating manner and move forward to the parking rack 2 side, the car C is laterally moved as it is via the wheels on the transverse conveyor pieces 23. The vehicle C is moved from the mounting base 6 to the parking rack 2 by shifting to.

At this time, the transverse conveyor piece 2 on the lifting shelf 5 side
3 and the transverse conveyor piece 23 on the side of the parking rack 2 are continuously mated and joined via the contact mating means 24, so that the former actuates the latter in the same manner (see FIG. 6). ), The car C is smoothly transferred.

When the transfer is completed in this way, the transfer mechanism 20 is stopped, the elevating mechanism 10 is operated to lower the elevating shelf 5, and the elevating path 3 is put on standby at the lowermost position for storing the next vehicle.

Further, in order to carry out and take out the stored car C, the control shelf 34 is operated to reach the parking rack 2 position where the car C to be taken out is stored.
Is lifted or lowered by the lifting mechanism 10, and the control means 30 causes the lifting rack 5 to be brought into contact with the parking rack 2 at a predetermined position and the side edge of the mounting base 6 to the entrance of the parking rack 2 so as to stop the positioning. Let At this time, the lifting shelf 5
The edge of the lateral conveyor piece 23 on the side is abutted by the contact matching means 24 with the edge on the inlet side of the lateral conveyor piece 23 on the side of the parking rack 2.

Therefore, when the transfer mechanism 20 is driven and the transverse conveyor piece 23 is operated in the direction opposite to that at the time of storage, the upper edge of the transverse conveyor piece 23 becomes the same as during storage.
When the adjacent ones sequentially rise in an alternating manner and retract to the side of the elevating shelf 5, the automobile C is laterally moved as it is via the wheels on the transverse conveyor piece 23, and the mounting base 6 is mounted on the parking shelf 2. Upper car C is transferred.

When the transfer is completed in this way, the transfer mechanism 20 is stopped, the elevating mechanism 10 is operated, the elevating shelf 5 is lowered, the lowermost position of the hoistway 3 is reached, and the automobile C can be discharged. To do.

[0053]

The present invention is configured as described above.
Therefore, when elevating and lowering shelves 5 are moved up and down in a high-rise tower-type parking building 1 configured by arranging parking shelves 2 in multiple stages, and when a car C is transferred between the elevating and lowering shelves 5 and the parking shelves 2, it is transferred. The mechanism 20 employs a transfer system in which only the car C is transferred without moving the lifting shelves 5 and the parking shelves 2 at all, so that the parking shelves 2 can be stored and stored, and the lifting shelves 5 can be carried out. It is possible to significantly reduce the time required for loading and unloading as a move in one direction.

The drive source 27 of the transfer mechanism 20, which is the power source required for the transfer, is a car C that is sufficient to transfer only the car C between the parking rack 2 and the lift rack 5.
It is sufficient that the capacity is almost equivalent to the weight of, the size is small, and the mechanism is simple and reliable.

Moreover, although the parking building 1 has a high-rise tower structure, if a plurality of parking shelves 2 arranged with the entrance facing the hoistway 3 of the hoisting shelves 5 to be hoisted therein are formed in a multi-tiered arrangement. Well, the storage capacity is determined only by the number of parking shelves 2, and the lifting mechanism 10 and the transfer mechanism 20 can be small in size, respectively, and even if the parking lot 1 has a very small site area, it is extremely large. The vehicle C can be stored.

That is, in the present invention, the transfer mechanism 20 formed between the lifting rack 5 that moves up and down and each of the parking racks 2 arranged in multiple stages corresponds to the front and rear wheel positions of the automobile C. A plurality of transverse conveyor strips 23, which are in contact with and separate from each other across the parking rack 2 and the lifting rack 5, are arrayed in the front-rear direction, and these transverse conveyor strips 23 are synchronously integrated in the front-rear direction. This is because the car C is transported in the lateral direction by alternately moving up and down and forward and backward, and is transferred between the elevating shelves 5 and the parking shelves 2, whereby a one-way transfer method of transfer can be adopted. It has become possible,
It is possible to significantly reduce the time required for loading and unloading and to downsize the power mechanism.

Further, in the transfer mechanism 20, the drive source 27
The conveyor shaft 21 that is driven and rotated by the drive of FIG. 2 is synchronously integrated with the traverse conveyor pieces 23 on the lifting pallet 5 side and the parking shelf 2 side, which are integrated with the conveyor shaft 21 via the eccentric disc 22, and this traverse The conveyor piece 23 itself is rotated while maintaining its substantially horizontal state, and the upper edge of the conveyor piece 23 is moved up and down and moved back and forth. At this time, the transverse conveyor piece 23 is sequentially moved in the axial direction of the conveyor shaft 21. By arranging them in a plurality of eccentric arrangements, those in which the upper edges of the plurality of transverse conveyor pieces 23 are successively adjacent to each other are raised alternately and move forward and backward. The vehicle C supported on the transverse conveyor piece 23 via the front and rear wheels can be laterally moved as it is, and the vehicle C can be transferred between the mounting base 6 and the parking rack 2.

That is, when the transverse conveyor pieces 23 of the elevator rack 5 and the parking rack 2 rotate and move up and down in synchronism with each other, when moving from the elevator rack 5 side to the parking rack 2 side, the parking rack 2 moves forward. The vehicle C is stored in the vehicle, and the vehicle C is unloaded when moving forward from the parking shelf 2 side to the elevating shelf 5 side.
It is not necessary to return each of the three to the original position, and even if the operation ends at that position, the elevating shelves 5 and the parking shelves 2 will be adjacent to each other again next time, the abutment by the abutment matching means 24, and the drive source 27. When the driving is started, the respective transverse conveyor pieces 23 are tightly abutted and joined to each other to be integrated.

Further, the control means 30 guides the guide rail 31 so that when the elevator mechanism 5 moves the elevator rack 5 up and down to the predetermined parking rack 2 position designated for control, the control rail 30 moves from the guide rail 31. By branching by the branch rail 32 via the switching unit 33, the branch rail 32 can be laterally moved, and the elevating shelf 5 can be brought into contact with and adjoin to the designated predetermined entrance position of the parking shelf 2. for that reason,
By associating the end edge of the transverse conveyor piece 23 on the elevating shelf 5 side with the entrance side edge of the transverse conveyor piece 23 on the parking shelf 2 side, the elevating shelf 5 and the parking shelf 2 can be adjacent and continuous without a gap. Therefore, the operations of the transverse conveyor pieces 23 are integrally synchronized, and the transfer of the automobile C between the elevating shelf 5 and the parking shelf 2 is facilitated.
