In such conventional multilevel parking systems, the space above the elevator cannot be used as a parking space, and the elevator must pick up the car each time the car enters or leaves the parking lot.

Furthermore, cars generally enter and exit in only one direction.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As mentioned above, conventional multilevel parking systems have poor space efficiency because the space above the elevator cannot be used as a parking space.Also, the elevator has to pick up the car every time a car is put in or taken out, so it is difficult to get in and out. It takes time.

Even more conventional multi-level parking bags! Since cars can only be entered and removed from the device from one direction,
There is a problem in that there are significant location constraints for installation.

The object of this invention is to solve the above problems by making it possible to store unmanned cars and various goods on pallets safely, quickly, and in a space-efficient manner without being subject to many location constraints. The object of the present invention is to provide a three-dimensional storage device.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, this invention arranges a plurality of storage chambers each having a large number of storage floors arranged in a multi-tiered manner and a vertical hoistway in alternating parallel arrangement, and the lower end of each storage chamber is arranged in parallel with the storage chamber. Each entry/exit section is equipped with a swivel table that is oriented in the direction in which the stored items enter.This swivel table is used to lift the bottom of the stored items that have entered and lift them above the floor of the entrance/exit section. A cantilevered lifting frame is installed, which moves horizontally between the floor of the entrance and exit section and the hoistway to receive stored items on the rising lifting frame, or to transfer stored items onto the lifting frame. The link, which is equipped with a pallet and a driving means and travels vertically along the hoistway and stops at a position corresponding to a desired storage floor, has a pair of upper and lower rack gears on both sides of the pallet entering the hoistway. A pair of upper and lower mutually meshing pinion gears are provided to hold the pallet in a cantilevered manner by meshing with opposing teeth of To provide a three-dimensional storage device provided with a pallet driving means for feeding pallets into a hoistway.

When the vehicle 75 is turned and the receiving plate 17 is facing in the direction of travel of the vehicle, the vehicle 75 is placed on the right end swivel base 6 through either the opening a at both ends of the entrance/exit portion 4 in FIG. 5 or the side opening. Enter the entrance/exit section 4 from here.

As described above, the vehicle 75 that has entered the entry/exit section 4 comes to a stop with its wheels located in front and behind the receiving plate 17, and the swivel platform 6 is rotated so that the side of the elevator frame 16 to which it belongs does not have a support. Turn to a position facing the desired hoistway 3. In the meantime, the pallet 25 that was in the hoistway 3 moves from side to side within the hoistway 3 to free up the hoistway 3.

As described above, when the hoistway 3 becomes empty, the pallet 25 on which the automobile 75 is placed completely enters the hoistway 3.

Next, the feed screw 18 is rotated forward by the driving means 20, and the elevating frame 16 is raised.

As a result of this operation, the automobile 75 has its bottom supported by the support plate 17 and is lifted off the swivel base 6 and the fixed floor plate 5.

At the same time, the pallet 25 is loaded to the lowest level of the hoistway 3 and is located slightly to the right of the hoistway 3 at the right end as shown in A in FIG. The pallet feed pin 11 closest to 3 engages.

Next, each pin 11 is
starts traveling in the direction of the arrow, and the pallet 25 is inserted under the floating automobile 75 as shown by the chain line in FIGS. 1 and 2.

In this way, with the pallet 25 fully inserted into the lower part of the car 75, the lift frame 16 is lowered slightly, the wheels of the car 75 are placed on the pallet 25, and the receiving plate 17 is separated from the bottom of the car 75 and attached to the pallet 25. The pallet 25 is moved toward the hoistway 3 by each pin 11 under the condition that the pins are not in contact with each other.

When the pallet 25 begins to enter the hoistway 3, the pallet 2
The upper and lower rack gears 31.32 of both end frames 26 of 5 mesh with pinion gears 44.45 provided above and below the link 42 which is stopped in the adjacent hoistway 3.

Each of the pinion gears 44, 45 is in mesh with a pair, and the upper and lower rack gears 30, 31 are also in pairs, so that the pallet 25 is held in a horizontal cantilevered state by these meshes.

When most of the pallets 25 held horizontally cantilevered by the upper and lower pinion gears 44.45 and the rack gears 30.31 enter the hoistway 3 as described above, each bin 11 The pallet 25 comes off and stops.

At this time, the pallet 25 is connected to one side, for example, by the upper and lower pinion gears 44 of the link 42 on the right side of the hoistway 3 on the left side in FIG.

Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the cheno 67 installed on the right parking floor 2 starts traveling in the direction of the arrow in FIG.
5 and pulls the pallet 25 onto the right parking floor 2 as shown in FIG.

In this way, the pallet 25 enters onto the parking floor 2 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 13, and at the same time, the other pallets 25 also return to their required positions.

Pallet 25 stored on the parking floor 2 on the right side as shown above
is the reverse operation of the above, that is, first, the pallet 25 in the hoistway 3 is moved from the hoistway 3 to the left and right, and
At the same time, the pallet 25 to be taken out is moved to the hoistway 3.
Put it completely inside.

Next, the positioning plate 52 in the hoistway 3 to be used can be retracted.

Thereafter, the pallet 25 lands in the hoistway 3 and returns to the first entrance/exit section 4, and the vehicle exits from either opening a or b by the rotation of the swivel base 6.

The above example shows an example in which a car entering the entrance/exit section 4 at the right end of FIG. 6
180 degrees from the position shown in FIG. 4, and move the elevator frame 16 from the right end in FIG. 1 and the left side as shown in FIG. Then, the automobile that has entered the entrance/exit section 4 can be stored in the parking room 1 on the left side via the hoistway 3 on the right side, and then returned to the entrance/exit section 4.

In this case, the rack gears 31, 32 of the pallet 25 are engaged with the pinion gears 44, 45 of the left link 42 as viewed in FIGS. Because it is below,
Rack gear 31 meshes with pinion gear 45, and rack gear 32 meshes with pinion gear 44.

Also, the orientation of the pallet 25 is changed by 180'', so that when a car enters the entrance/exit section 4 through the opening a, the pallet 25, which is slightly to the left of the right hoistway 3, supports the car. It enters the lower part of the receiving plate 17 on the floating lifting frame 16 from the right side, stops, and then receives the car wheel on the pallet 25, and then the pin enters the retaining part 30 of the pallet 25. This pallet 25 is put into the hoistway 3 on the right side together with the car.

At this time, the upper and lower rack gears 31 and 32 of the pallet 25
However, the upper and lower pinion gears 45. of the link 42 at this position.
44 and held in a cantilevered manner, it enters the hoistway 3 and rises together with the link 42, stopping at a desired floor.

Next, the lower pin 62 engages with the engaging portion 30 of the pallet 25 to store the pallet 25 onto the parking floor 2 on the left side.

The pallet 25 thus stored on the parking floor 2 is returned to the original entrance/exit section 4 by the reverse operation as described above.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, this invention has good space efficiency because the interior of the lift circuit can also be used as a parking space or storage space.

Additionally, unlike conventional parking systems, there is no need for an elevator to pick up pallets, so the time required for loading and unloading is reduced.

Furthermore, since cars and stored items can be taken in and out of the device from either the front, back, left or right, there are fewer restrictions on location.
