Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are given to the common portions, and redundant description is omitted. The following description does not limit the invention described in the claims. The present invention is not limited to the structure including all the components described below. For example, the present invention may further include some of the plurality of components described below.

(outline constitution of parking device)

Fig. 1 and 2 show the configuration of a parking device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 1 is a sectional view a-a of fig. 2. FIG. 2 is a view from direction II-II of FIG. 1, showing the constitution of the accommodating layer. The number of the accommodating layers may be plural or one. In the example of fig. 1, two containment layers are provided. In the case where a plurality of accommodating layers are provided, the configurations of the respective accommodating layers may also be the same as each other. The parking device 10 includes a hoist 3, a pallet 5, and a pallet conveying device 16.

The elevator 3 is disposed in the elevation path 4 and is driven to be elevated toward the warehousing level (in fig. 1, the warehousing level) and each storage level. The elevation path 4 extends in the vertical direction over the warehousing entrance and exit layer and each storage layer.

The cars 1 stored in the garage can be stacked on the respective pallets 5. A plurality of (for example, many) pallets 5 are provided in each accommodating layer. In each accommodating layer, as shown in fig. 2, a plurality of (e.g., many) pallet spaces S are arranged in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction. In fig. 2, each pallet space S is an area surrounded by a dotted line, and symbol E denotes equipment (e.g., air conditioning equipment, a warehouse, or stairs). The longitudinal direction is a predetermined horizontal direction, and the automobile 1 mounted on the pallet 5 is oriented in the longitudinal direction in the pallet space S. The transverse direction is a horizontal direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. The number of the pallets 5 is smaller than the number of the pallet spaces S at each accommodating level. For example, the number of pallets 5 is two or more (e.g., 2, 3, or 4) smaller than the number of pallet spaces S.

The sizes (the longitudinal direction size and the transverse direction size) of the pallet spaces S may be the same for each accommodating layer. On the other hand, the heights of the pallet spaces S may be different from each other among the plurality of accommodating layers. This makes it possible to provide a storage layer for storing the automobile 1 having a large height and a storage layer for storing the automobile 1 having a small height.

The pallet conveying mechanism 16 (see fig. 1 and fig. 4 described later) can move the pallet 5 to each pallet space S and the hoist 3 positioned at the storage level at each storage level. That is, the pallet conveying mechanism 16 conveys the pallets 5 between the pallet spaces S adjacent to each other so that two or more pallets 5 are not located in one pallet space S at each accommodating layer. The conveyance may be performed between each pair of pallet spaces S adjacent in the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction without an obstacle (e.g., an obstacle B of fig. 2) therebetween. Thereby, each pallet 5 can move to an arbitrary pallet space S. In order to make this possible, the number of the pallets 5 is set for the number of the pallet spaces S for each accommodating layer. Further, the pallet transport mechanism 16 moves the pallet 5 in the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction (in the case of fig. 2, the lateral direction) between the lifter 3 positioned at the accommodating level and the pallet space S adjacent to the lifter 3 at each accommodating level.

(end pallet space)

In the present embodiment, the plurality of pallet spaces S of the accommodating layer include a dead end pallet space Sd as shown in fig. 2. Among the four directions in which the two longitudinal directions facing opposite directions and the two transverse directions facing opposite directions are added together, the end pallet space Sd is adjacent to the other pallet space S without an obstacle therebetween in only one direction. In one example, the end pallet space Sd is adjacent to an obstacle (e.g., an obstacle B or a wall) in the other three directions of the above four directions.

The conveyance of the end pallet space Sd and the pallet 5 can be performed only between the pallet spaces S adjacent to the end pallet space Sd in the above-mentioned one direction. In other words, the tray conveying mechanism 16 can convey the tray 5 to the end tray space Sd only from one tray space S adjacent to the end tray space Sd. The tray conveying mechanism 16 can convey the tray 5 from the end tray space Sd only for the one tray space S adjacent to the end tray space Sd.

(details of the construction of the tray Table)

Fig. 3 shows one pallet 5 as viewed from below in the vertical direction. Each pallet 5 may have the same configuration. The pallet 5 includes a pallet body 7, a vertical rail 11, a horizontal rail 13, and a turning rail 15. The vertical rail 11, the horizontal rail 13, and the turning rail 15 are attached to the lower surface of the pallet body 7.

The longitudinal rails 11 extend in the longitudinal direction and the transverse rails 13 extend in the transverse direction. The vertical rail 11 and the horizontal rail 13 are discontinuous at a common portion (hereinafter referred to as a discontinuous portion P). In the example of fig. 3, the longitudinal rail 11 extends in the longitudinal direction over the entire pallet 5 except for the discontinuity P, and the transverse rail 13 extends in the transverse direction over the entire pallet 5 except for the discontinuity P. In the example of fig. 3, the pair of longitudinal rails 11 are provided at intervals in the lateral direction, and the pair of transverse rails 13 are provided at intervals in the longitudinal direction. In the example of fig. 3, there are four discrete sites P.

As shown in fig. 3 and fig. 5A and 5B described later, the turning rail 15 is attached to the pallet body 7 at each discontinuous point P so as to be rotatable about a first vertical axis C1. The turning rail 15 is coupled to the rotating member 14, and the rotating member 14 is attached to the pallet body 7 so as to be rotatable about the first vertical axis C1. Thereby, the steering rail 15 can be switched between a state facing the longitudinal direction and a state facing the lateral direction. The turning rail 15 is located on an extension line of the longitudinal rail 11 in a state of facing the longitudinal direction, and the turning rail 15 is located on an extension line of the lateral rail 13 in a state of facing the lateral direction.

(details of the constitution of the pallet carrying mechanism)

< feeding apparatus >

The pallet conveying mechanism 16 includes a plurality of feeding devices 17 provided in the plurality of pallet spaces S, respectively. The feeding devices 17 provided in the respective pallet spaces S may have the same configuration. The feeder 17 of each pallet space S conveys the pallet 5 to the pallet space S adjacent to the pallet space S. Between the pallet spaces S adjacent to each other, the feeding devices 17 of the two pallet spaces S can cooperatively convey the pallet 5 therebetween.

The pallet transport mechanism 16 includes a feeder 17 provided on the hoist 3. The feeding device 17 provided in the hoist 3 may have the same configuration as the feeding device 17 provided in the pallet space S. When the hoist 3 is positioned at the accommodating level, the feeder 17 of the hoist 3 conveys the pallet 5 to the pallet space S adjacent to the hoist 3. Between the pallet space S and the hoist 3 adjacent to each other, the feeding device 17 of the pallet space S and the feeding device 17 of the hoist 3 can convey the pallet 5 between the pallet space S and the hoist 3 in cooperation.

As described above, the feeding device 17 of each pallet space S and the feeding device 17 of the hoist 3 may have the same configuration as each other. Therefore, the configuration of the feeding device 17 provided in one pallet space S will be described below, and the description of the feeding device 17 provided in each other pallet space S and the hoist 3 will be omitted.

Fig. 4 is a partially enlarged view of one pallet space S in a state where the pallet 5 is not present in fig. 2. A feeding device 17 shown in fig. 4 is provided in each pallet space S. That is, in fig. 2, the feeder device 17 is also provided below the pallet 5 in the pallet space S in which the pallet 5 is present. Fig. 5A is a view from direction 5A-5A of fig. 4, and fig. 5B is a view from direction 5B-5B of fig. 4.

The feeding device 17 includes a base 19, a driving roller 21, a base driving device 23, a guide member 25, and a roller driving device 27.

The base 19 is attached to the structure 9 of the parking device 10 in the pallet space S. The base 19 is rotatable about the second vertical axis C2 with respect to the structure 9. In the example of fig. 5A, the base 19 is supported by the support portion 18 so as to be rotatable about the second vertical axis C2. The support 18 is coupled to the structure 9.

The drive roller 21 is attached to the base 19 so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis C3. The turning rail 15 of the pallet 5 is placed on the outer peripheral surface of the driving roller 21. Thus, the drive roller 21 supports the pallet 5 via the turning rail 15. In fig. 4, four driving rollers 21 are provided corresponding to the four turning rails 15 of the pallet 5, respectively. A corresponding steering track 15 is placed on each drive roller 21. Further, a roller driving device 27 and a base 19 are provided for each driving roller 21.

The substrate drive device 23 switches the orientation of the drive roller 21 to the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction by rotating the substrate 19 about the second vertical axis C2. The direction of the roller means a horizontal direction (the same applies hereinafter) perpendicular to the rotation axis of the roller (the horizontal axis C3 in the case of the driving roller 21). The pallet 5 is fed in the longitudinal direction by the rotation of the drive roller 21 in a state where the orientation of the drive roller 21 is the longitudinal direction, and the pallet 5 is fed in the transverse direction by the rotation of the drive roller 21 in a state where the orientation of the drive roller 21 is the transverse direction. In fig. 4, the substrate drive device 23 can synchronously switch the orientations of the four drive rollers 21 to the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction by synchronously rotating the four substrates 19. Further, in fig. 4, the turning rail 15 facing the longitudinal direction is shown by a thin broken line diagram.

In one example, as shown in fig. 4, the substrate drive device 23 includes a drive portion 23a, a coupling portion 23b, a plurality of coupling pieces 23c, and a plurality of coupling portions 23 d. The driving portion 23a drives and rotates one base 19 about the second vertical axis C2. The driving portion 23a may be, for example, a telescopic cylinder. In fig. 4, one end of the telescopic cylinder 23a is attached to the structure 9 of the pallet space S so as to be rotatable about the vertical axis (in addition, with respect to the feeding device 17 provided in the hoist 3, one end of the telescopic cylinder 23a is attached to the hoist 3 so as to be rotatable about the vertical axis). The other end portion of the telescopic cylinder 23a is connected to a connection portion 23b of the base 19 so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis. The one base 19 is rotationally driven by the expansion and contraction of the expansion cylinder 23 a. In addition, as shown in fig. 4, the four base bodies 19 are connected in series to each other via a coupling 23 c. That is, each coupling 23c and the coupling portion 23d of the base 19 are coupled to each other so as to be rotatable about the vertical axis. With this configuration, if the driving portion 23a rotationally drives one base 19, the other bases 19 are also rotationally driven in conjunction with each other by the coupling 23 c. Thereby, the four substrates 19 are synchronously rotationally driven.

The plurality of guide members 25 are attached to the base 19 at positions offset from the second vertical axis C2 in the longitudinal direction as well as the lateral direction. Each guide member 25 is, for example, a guide roller rotatable about a vertical axis. When the turning rail 15 is placed on the driving roller 21, the first vertical shaft C1 and the second vertical shaft C2 become coaxial, and the plurality of guide members 25 become a state of being spaced apart from the turning rail 15 in the horizontal direction. In this state, the base body drive device 23 can switch the orientation of the turn rail 15 and the orientation of the drive roller 21 between the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction via the guide member 25 by rotationally driving the base body 19. Thereby, the orientation of the steering rail 15 and the orientation of the drive roller 21 are switched between the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction while being kept the same as each other.

The roller driving device 27 rotationally drives the driving roller 21 while conveying the pallet 5 in the longitudinal direction or the transverse direction. The roller drive 27 may be a motor, for example. The roller driving device 27 drives the turn rail 15 placed on each driving roller 21 in the longitudinal direction by rotating the driving roller 21 while each driving roller 21 is oriented in the longitudinal direction. Thus, if the longitudinal rail 11 comes onto the drive roller 21, the rotationally driven drive roller 21 drives the longitudinal rail 11 in the longitudinal direction. Thus, the pallet 5 is driven and conveyed in the longitudinal direction. Similarly, the roller driving device 27 drives the turn rail 15 placed on each driving roller 21 in the lateral direction by rotating the driving roller 21 when each driving roller 21 is oriented in the lateral direction. Thus, if the cross rail 13 comes onto the drive roller 21, the rotationally driven drive roller 21 drives the cross rail 13 in the lateral direction. Thus, the pallet 5 is driven and conveyed in the lateral direction. Further, the roller drive device 27 may also be capable of rotating the drive rollers 21 in any directions about the horizontal axis C3 that are opposite to each other.

< end roll >

The pallet transport mechanism 16 may further include an end roller 29 as shown in fig. 4. The end rollers 29 are disposed at both ends in the longitudinal direction and both ends in the transverse direction of each pallet space S, and are rotatably provided in the structure 9. Although not shown, the end rollers 29 are also disposed at both ends in the longitudinal direction and both ends in the transverse direction of the hoist 3, and are rotatably attached to the structure of the hoist 3. The pallet space S and the end rollers 29 at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the lifter 3 face in the longitudinal direction. The pallet space S and the end rollers 29 at both ends of the lifter 3 in the transverse direction face in the transverse direction. The longitudinal rail 11 or the transverse rail 13 is placed on the end roller 29. Thereby, the pallet 5 is stably supported. Further, when the pallet 5 is conveyed in the longitudinal direction, each of the turn rails 15 and each of the longitudinal rails 11 of the pallet 5 are supported by the corresponding end rollers 29 and pass through the end rollers 29. Likewise, when the pallet 5 is conveyed in the lateral direction, each of the turn rails 15 and each of the lateral rails 13 of the pallet 5 are supported by the corresponding end roller 29 and pass through the end roller 29.

< auxiliary roll >

When the adjacent pallet spaces S are spaced apart from each other, the pallet conveying mechanism 16 may further include an auxiliary roller 31 (see fig. 2) provided at an intermediate position between the pallet spaces S. Fig. 6 is a view in the direction VI-VI of fig. 2. In the example of fig. 2 and 6, the pallet spaces S adjacent in the longitudinal direction are spaced apart from each other, and an auxiliary roller 31 is provided at a position intermediate the pallet spaces S to each other.

The auxiliary roller 31 is rotatably provided in the structure 9. The direction of the auxiliary roller 31 coincides with the direction of separation between the pallet spaces S adjacent to each other with the auxiliary roller 31 therebetween. In the example of fig. 2 and 6, the auxiliary roller 31 is oriented in the longitudinal direction. While the pallet 5 is conveyed from one of the pallet spaces S spaced apart from and adjacent to each other toward the other, the longitudinal rail 11 or the lateral rail 13 (the longitudinal rail 11 in fig. 2 and 6) of the pallet 5 and the turning rail 15 are supported and conveyed by the auxiliary rollers 31 by being placed on the auxiliary rollers 31.

In the present embodiment, in the accommodating layer, a plurality of pallet spaces S arranged in the lateral direction or the longitudinal direction (in fig. 2, the lateral direction) are present as one column, and the adjacent columns are spaced from each other. An obstacle B is present at an intermediate position between a part of the pallet space S (end pallet space Sd in fig. 2) included in one of the adjacent columns and the pallet space S of the other of the adjacent columns adjacent to the pallet space S in the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction (longitudinal direction in fig. 2). An auxiliary roller 31 is provided at an intermediate position between a part of the pallet space S included in one of the adjacent rows and the pallet space S of the other of the adjacent rows adjacent to the pallet space S in the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction, without any obstacle.

Since the pallet spaces S adjacent to each other across the auxiliary roller 31 have a large distance therebetween, the pallet conveying mechanism 16 may further include a driving device (e.g., a motor) 32 for rotationally driving the auxiliary roller 31, as shown in fig. 6, when the feeding device 17 of the adjacent pallet spaces S cannot convey the pallet 5 between the adjacent pallet spaces S. In this case, a guide member (not shown) may be provided so that the vertical rail 11 or the horizontal rail 13 placed on the auxiliary roller 31 does not separate from the auxiliary roller 31. The guide member may be the same as the guide member 25.

< feeding apparatus for hoisting machine >

In the case where the pallet transport mechanism 16 can transport the pallet 3 between the hoist 3 and the pallet space S only in one of the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction (only in the lateral direction in fig. 2) due to an obstacle (an obstacle B, a wall, or the like) at each accommodating level, the base body driving device 23 may not be provided in the feeding device 17 of the hoist 3. In this way, when the feeding device 17 of the hoist 3 does not include the base body driving device 23, the base body 19 of the feeding device 17 is attached to the hoist 3 so as not to be rotatable about the second vertical axis C2 with respect to the hoist 3. In this case, the driving roller 21 attached to the base 19 is directed in a direction in which the pallet 5 can be conveyed from the hoist 3 to the pallet space S beside the hoist in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction.

Unlike fig. 2, in the case where the pallet 5 can be conveyed between the hoist 3 positioned at the accommodating level and the pallet space S adjacent to the hoist 3 in the longitudinal direction, and the pallet 5 can be conveyed between the hoist 3 positioned at the accommodating level and the pallet space S adjacent to the hoist 3 in the lateral direction, the feeding device 17 of the hoist 3 may have the same configuration as the feeding device 17 of the pallet space S described above.

< other constitution >

The feeding device of a part of the pallet space S (e.g. the end pallet space Sd) may also be without the substrate drive device 23 at the receiving level. In this case, in the feeder device 17 in the pallet space S, the drive roller 21 attached to the base 19 cannot rotate about the second vertical axis C2 and is oriented in the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction. In this case, the pallet 5 is conveyed by the feeder 17 of two pallet spaces S between the pallet space S and the pallet space S adjacent to each other along the direction of the drive roller 21.

Although not shown, the hoist 3 may not be provided with a turning device not shown. The turning means lifts the pallet 5 from a portion (the drive roller 21 of the feeding means 17) supporting the pallet 5 on the lift 3 and turns it (for example, 180 degrees or 90 degrees). At this time, for example, the turning means lifts up a position (central portion of the pallet 5) that does not interfere with the feeding means 17. By the swivel means, for example, the automobile 1 can enter the pallet 5 on the hoist 3 by advancing at the time of warehousing, and the automobile 1 can be driven out from the pallet 5 on the hoist 3 by advancing at the time of delivery.

(operation of parking device)

In the parking device 10, operations are performed in the following order (1) to (3) at the time of parking.

(1) The hoist 3 is positioned at the target storage level, and any pallet 5 in the target storage level is transported to the hoist 3 by the pallet transport mechanism 16. Thereafter, the elevator 3 on which the pallet 5 is placed is moved to the loading/unloading floor.

(2) At the warehousing entrance level, the warehoused automobile 1 travels along the roadway 2 and enters the pallet 5 on the elevator 3 at the warehousing entrance level.

(3) Next, the hoist 3 moves to the target storage level, and the pallet 5 on the hoist 3 is conveyed to an arbitrary pallet space S by the pallet conveying mechanism 16 at the target storage level.

At the time of shipment, the operations are executed in the reverse order to that at the time of warehousing.

(Effect of the present embodiment)

The plurality of pallet spaces S may be arranged so as to be adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction so that the pallets 5 can be conveyed therebetween. Therefore, when the pallet space S is disposed in the building as the parking device 10, the pallet space S can be arranged in accordance with the shape of the building structure, and therefore, the efficiency of storing the parking device 10 in the automobile 1 can be improved.

For example, by providing the above-described end pallet space Sd in accordance with the shape of the building structure, the storage efficiency of the automobile 1 can be improved.

In addition, for example, the storage efficiency can be improved by spacing the pallet spaces S adjacent in the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction from each other. In one example, a plurality of pallet spaces S arranged in the lateral direction or the longitudinal direction (in the lateral direction in fig. 2) are arranged as one row, and the two rows can be arranged to be spaced apart from each other with an obstacle (an obstacle B in fig. 2) interposed therebetween in order to avoid the obstacle. In this case, the pallet 5 can be transported between the two rows within a range where an obstacle does not exist at a middle position between the two rows. In this case, as described above, by providing the auxiliary roller 31 at the intermediate position between the two rows spaced apart from each other, the pallet 5 can be stably conveyed between the two rows.

Fig. 7A is a diagram showing the storage layer corresponding to fig. 2, and shows a comparative example of the arrangement of the pallet space S, the lifting path 4, and the equipment E with respect to the secured region R. In the configuration example of fig. 7A, the number of pallet spaces S is 12. On the other hand, if the pallet space S and the lifting path 4 and the equipment E are arranged in the same region R as in fig. 7B (that is, if the same configuration as in fig. 2 is made), the number of pallet spaces S is 13, and the storage efficiency is improved as compared with the case of fig. 7A. For example, as shown in fig. 2 and 7A, by providing the endmost tray space Sd and disposing adjacent columns of the tray space S with the obstacle B interposed therebetween, the storage efficiency can be improved. In addition, the arrangement of fig. 7B is possible even if the pillar T exists in the middle of the region R as shown in the figure.

The above effects do not necessarily limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention can realize any one of the effects described in the present specification, or other effects that can be grasped from the present specification.

Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. For example, any of the following modifications 1 to 3 may be adopted, and 2 or more of the modifications 1 to 3 may be adopted in any combination. In this case, the points described below may be the same as those described above.

(modification 1)

In the above description, one elevation path 4 is provided, but a plurality of elevation paths 4 may be provided. In this case, a hoist 3 is provided in each lifting path 4. Each elevator ascends and descends between the warehousing and ex-warehousing layer and each accommodating layer.

(modification 2)

In the above description, the entry layer where the automobile 1 enters the parking device 10 and the exit layer where the automobile 1 exits from the parking device 10 are the same layer (entry and exit layer), but the entry layer and the exit layer may be different layers. In this case, the hoist 3 can move up and down to each of the storage floors, the warehousing floor, and the delivery floor.

(modification 3)

The warehousing layer may also be a containment layer. In this case, the automobile 1 may be able to enter the pallet 5 of any pallet space S of the accommodation floor for warehousing, and the automobile 1 may be able to exit from the pallet 5 of any pallet space S of the accommodation floor for ex-warehouse.
