Description

The present invention relates to a vertical circulation parking facility capable of accommodating two types of vehicles, high and low, having different heights.

(Prior Art and Problems) Recently, vehicles that are considerably higher in height than general ordinary vehicles called high roof vehicles have become popular. However, since the number of high-roof vehicles is much smaller than that of ordinary ordinary vehicles, a parking facility that can store both high-roof vehicles and ordinary ordinary vehicles is preferable to a parking facility dedicated to high-roof vehicles in terms of utilization efficiency.

For example, in a lower entry vertical circulation parking facility, when a high cage for a high roof vehicle and a low cage for a standard vehicle are mixed and hung at the minimum necessary pitch, the vehicle entry location at the bottom Since the cage height of the cage that stops at different heights is different between the high cage and the low cage, there is a loading deck that can be tilted up and down on the vehicle entry floor, allowing the vehicle to reach the bottom of the cage and the ground floor. Must be connected to. However, since there is a difference in height of approximately 450 mm between a high-roof vehicle and a standard vehicle, in order to allow the vehicle to enter both high and low cages by elevating and lowering this height, approximately one vehicle A boarding deck as long as the length of the car is required,
Parking facilities that do not have much room in front of the entrance / exit are not only impossible to implement at all, but the equipment costs are also considerably high.

(Means for Solving the Problem) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the solving means taken by the present invention is to dispose two pairs of upper and lower pairs of upper and lower sprockets apart from each other in the front-rear direction and displaced in the left-right direction.
A large number of vehicle mounting cages are suspended in a chain by front and rear suspension members attached to the endless chain wound around each pair of the upper sprocket and the lower sprocket at a distance, and the cages are horizontally suspended. It is assumed that the vertical circulation parking facility is composed of a chassis and a pair of front and rear gate-shaped cage frames with left and right lower legs fixed to the front and rear sides of the chassis.

Then, the cages are arranged in a mixed manner for two types of vehicles, high and low, having different heights, and the front suspension member is provided on one of the left and right sides separated from the floor surface of the chassis of the front cage frame by a predetermined height. In addition to providing support points on the legs, the rear suspension member is provided with support points on the leg parts on the other left and right sides separated from the floor surface of the rear cage frame by a predetermined height, and is suspended respectively. Each of the support points of the cage has the same height from each of the floor surfaces, and is provided at a position below the chassis of the cage above it.

(Operation) Both the high and low cages have the same distance from the cage support point of the suspension member to the floor surface of the chassis. Therefore, for example, when stopping at the lowest vehicle entry point The vehicle approach path of the chassis is naturally flush with the fixed floor for entry and exit, allowing entry and exit.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the drawing will be described, but for convenience of explanation, the first, third,
Left and right in Fig. 4 are called "left" and "right", and left and right in Fig. 2 are called "front" and "rear".

Reference numeral 1 denotes a lower entry type vertical circulation type parking facility provided in a building 2. An upper and lower pair of front upper sprocket 3 and lower sprocket 4 and a rear upper sprocket 3'and lower sprocket 4'are arranged back and forth. Two sets are arranged so as to be separated from each other and displaced to the left and right. An endless chain 5 is provided between the front upper sprocket 3 and the lower sprocket 4 and an endless chain 5'is provided between the rear upper sprocket 3'and the lower sprocket 4 '. Are wound respectively. Further, the endless chain 5, 5'is arranged so as to circulate in the vertical direction by the drive source M linked between the upper sprockets 3, 3 '.

6 and 7 are cages for high vehicle W1 and low vehicle W2, which are horizontal chassis 6a and 7a and both lower ends of the left and right legs fixed to the front and rear sides of the chassis, and are separated from each other in the front-rear direction as they face upward. And a pair of front and rear gate-shaped cage frames 6b and 6b ', 7b and 7b'
The rear cage frames 6b and 6b 'and 7b and 7b' are constituted by reinforcing connecting members 6c and 7c which are provided between the central portions of the upper horizontal portions.

The high and low vehicle cages 6 and 7 are endless chains 5 respectively.
.Front and rear suspension members 8.8 'that can be fixedly attached to 5'
The height from the floor surface of the chassis 6a, 7a of each cage 6.7 to the supporting point of each cage frame 6b, 6b ', 7b, 7b' (first, second,
(Shown as H in FIG. 4) are all equal. Specifically, the front suspension member 8 is the front cage frame.
Chassis 6a for the left and right legs of 6b and 7b (right leg in the figure)
・ While the short axis (not attached to the reference numeral) that appropriately protrudes at a distance of height H from the floor surface of 7a is used as a supporting point,
The rear suspension member 8'protrudes appropriately at a distance of a height H from the floor surface of the chassis 6a, 7a of the other left and right legs (left leg in the figure) of the rear cage frames 6b ', 7b'. The installed short shaft (no reference number) is pivotally suspended as a supporting point. Further, the support points of the cage frames 6b, 6b ', 7b, 7b' are provided at positions below the chassis 6a, 7a of the cages 6, 7 located above them. In addition, as shown in FIG.
When 8'is in the left / right vertical movement path, the suspension pitch P ₁ when the low vehicle cages 7, 7 are adjacent to each other is:
When the high vehicle cages 6 and 6 are adjacent to each other and when the high vehicle cage 6 and the low vehicle cage 7 are adjacent to each other, the suspension pitch P ₂ is set to be smaller than that of the cages 6 and 8 which are vertically adjacent to each other.
7 are spaced apart by a minimum distance in a range where they do not interfere with each other during circulation of the cage. Incidentally, 9 is an entrance / exit opening formed on the rear wall of the above-ground part of the building 2 and faces the vehicle entry place SP set at the bottom of the lower turning part of the cages 6 and 7.

The cages 6 and 7 have the same distance H from the cage support points by the suspension members 8.8 and 8 to the floor surface of the chassis 6a and 7a, so that the vehicle entry place SP facing the loading / unloading port 9 is the same.
When it reaches, the floors of the chassis 6a and 7a (strictly speaking, the approach road surface) are at the same height position, and the entry / exit floor F of the entrance / exit gate 9 is set in accordance with this height position. is there.

In FIG. 1, the low vehicle cage 7 is a vehicle entry point.
When reaching SP and stopping, the floor surface of the chassis 7a of the cage 7 becomes flush with the entry floor F, and the low vehicle W2 can be loaded or unloaded. From the state shown in FIG.
When 5'circulates clockwise and the high vehicle cage 7 reaches the vehicle entry location SP and stops as shown in FIG. 4, the floor of the chassis 6a of the cage 6 is flush with the entry floor F. Become one and high vehicle
W1 can be loaded and unloaded.

The present invention can also be implemented with the following modifications other than the above-described embodiments.

(1) In the above embodiment, the vertical circulation type parking facility of the lower entry type is explained, but the upper entry type or the intermediate entry type is also applicable. For example, in the case of the upper loading type, loading and unloading is carried out from the upper loading floor F'in the left front part shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. In the case of the intermediate loading type, loading / unloading is performed from the intermediate loading floor F ″ indicated by the chain double-dashed line in FIG.

(2) In the above embodiment, the suspension member 8.8 'is used to center the cage on the right side of the front cage frames 6b, 7b of the high / low vehicle cage 6.7 and the left side of the rear cage frame 6b'7b'. With regard to the cage, it is pivoted and suspended diagonally, so there is little swaying to the left and right of each cage when circulating and stopping. Therefore, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the cage swaying guide is not provided, but in order to stabilize the cage swaying more, a cage swaying guide CG may be used together as shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG.

(Effect of the invention) In the present invention, the cage is of two types for high and low vehicles,
High vehicles and low vehicles can be stored without generating wasted space in the tower, and the number of cages is increased compared to when only high vehicle cages are suspended, resulting in high parking efficiency. It can be a parking facility. In addition, since the height of the entry floor surface at the vehicle entry location is the same, it is possible to enter and exit.
A relatively simple and inexpensive mechanism, such as an expensive floor surface aligning device that takes up a large space in the loading / unloading entrance, such as a sloped elevator boarding deck, is not required.
